Feng Yu Jiu Tian - Volume 5 - Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6

Miao Guang sadly responded back: “What else can I do? Other than my brother who else can fight against Long Tian and the army of Xi Lei? If I have to face humiliation and die, I rather self-

immolate to save a bit of dignity. Our Li Kingdom have thousands of brave generals and our deaths would only bring them motivation to fight the last battle, that even if we won over you it would be a great price to pay.”

After finishing, she turned around over to the door, her footsteps gently paced, without turning her head around she murmured softly: “I really can’t believe Duke Ming would be so heartless.” She sighed faintly and pushed the door open.

Feng Ming felt like his spirit had been blown out. He suddenly realized the situation Miao Guang is going through, and even more clearer when he put himself in her shoes, including Rong Tian and his position. War is cruel. In fact, it forces someone to use all sort of methods to reach his goal, and, it makes a kind person turn into a fierce cruel person. Not only cruel to their enemies but also cruel to themselves.

If Xi Lei were like that, to think about self immolation, would also be them.

The future of Xi Lei, will there be an outcome like that?

Heavy footsteps echoed near, Rong Tian already stood in front of Feng Ming and placed his hand against Feng Ming’s tired shoulders: “I already told the guards to bring Miao Guang to rest, Rong Hu will be in charge of safety and supervising. Your facial expression look horrible. Miao Guang is an expert at mental tricks, what did she said to make you feel insecure?”

Feng Ming forced on a happier face, he gave out a signal for everyone to come inside. Rong Tian stood aside, carefully hand over a cup of tea to Feng Ming, and silently stood waiting for

him to start.

"Awhile ago when talking to Miao Guang I have realized a few things. These news might be false, but all of them were revealed by her." Feng Ming inhaled deeply and then continued: "The first news is Long Tian of Fan Jia is a spy that Ruo Yan had sent over and was poisoned by Ruo Yan to control him."

This was something Rong Tian and them already guessed previously therefore no one said anything and only waited for Feng Ming to continue.

"The second news is that Ruo Yan is truly serious injured to the point of being unconscious.

Because he’s unconscious, Long Tian has the guts to carry out his plans."

Lie Er asked: “Is it because of Long Tian that Miao Guang didn’t care of danger to come to Xi Lei?”

"That’s right." Feng Ming nodded his head and continued: "The third thing is Long Tian kidnapped the royal physician, the one able to cure his poison, to come to Fan Jia. As long as his poison is cured, he will immediately attack Li Kingdom, taking advantage of Ruo Yan’s unconscious state and kill him. I believe that the person that makes Long Tian afraid of most is still Ruo Yan."

Rong Tian finally opened his mouth and lowered his voice to ask: “Did Miao Guang asked Xi Lei to not take advantage of the situation while Li Kingdom is dealing with Fan Jia?”

Feng Ming exchanged glances with him, with a look of “apparently you’re also pretty smart”, nodded his head and said: “Miao Guang requested for 3 years time. Also, if we were to send our army, she will immediately have the whole royal family self immolate.”

"What?" Lie Er repeated the same shock voice Feng Ming had when he first heard the news, he shook his head: "Duke Ming should not ever listen to anything of those nonsense. They can’t easily self immolate themselves."

Feng Ming looked over at Rong Tian: “You are the Great King, in front of you is a great opportunity to attack Li Kingdom. You make the decision.”

Rong Tian ruminated for a second and then asked Feng Ming in reverse: “If the Li Kingdom royalties did self immolate because of us, would you be sad?”

"You don’t have to worry about me. Regarding national affairs, you cannot take in personal account of an individual to delay a decision."

Rong Tian looked straight at Feng Ming: “You will still be sad.”

He scanned around the room, his sharp eyes made everyone afraid to face and then let out a long sighed: “Impressive for a little Miao Guang, definitely deserved the title of Ruo Yan’s little sister.... this is definitely a great opportunity to destroy Li Kingdom. Unfortunately it is a land filled with poison, making people not dare to gain it. Chiu Lan, let’s see if you can tell us the

reason.”

Chiu Lan had never been involved with politics and now to have him call on her suddenly made her trembled in fear, trying to hide her crazy beating heart within her chest, she frowned and thought hard: “Because Xi Lei had gone through a war, we can’t mobilize the army.”

Rong Tian smile at her and shook his head: “Although Xi Lei required rest to gain back our energy, it is possible for us to still go out on another battle to capture Li Kingdom and continue to rest. Chiu Yue, you’re next.”

Chiu Yue saw that Chiu Lan was called and knew earlier that her part was next, so she wasn’t

as scared stiff as Chiu Lan, but still worried and quickly answered: “Wait until Fan Jia and Li Kingdom fight until they can’t anymore and it will be a great advantage for Xi Lei will send their army that time.”

Rong Tian still laugh and shook his head: “Not attacking and not able to attack is two different things. That could be the reason to not attack, but it isn’t the reason to not being able to attack.” His gaze is now on Chiu Xing.

When meeting with Rong Tian’s gaze, Chiu Xing was flustered to the point of hanging onto Chiu Yue’s sleeves and twittered: “All the things that could be said were said by Chiu Yue and Chiu

Lan, your servant don’t know what else to do.”

Feng Ming laughed: “Alright, it’s my turn to answer...The reason is not just only one. Number one, Li Kingdom is putting all of its strength to fight against Fan Jia, if Xi Lei made Li Kingdom self immolate then everyone in the world will think that we took advantage of the situation. Not only will that situation make people of Li Kingdom wholehearted resist making Xi Lei loss (of people/energy) massive, also the other countries will see the King of Xi Lei as a vicious ruler. For Xi Lei to be the ruler of all 11 countries, this will be a huge disadvantage.”

"That’s right!" Rong Tian cheered and happily asked: "And the second reason?"

"The second reason is because of me. If truly Miao Guang and the royal nobility self immolate then my heart would be heavy. If you set out for battle then I will also follow along. If my mind is not stable then you will also not be at ease. If the Great King is distracted how can he have the ability to battle?"

Rong Tian looked up above and laughed loudly, appearing heroic like no one can compare, he said: “Needless to be moody. Even without you, I will most definitely not take advantage of situation like that... ” Rong Tian goes on to say that he likes to deal with conquering the world in a more civilized manner even if war required people to use all sorts of tactic. He even wishes for Ruo Yan to wake up so he could battle him again.

Feng Ming heard that and his face brighten up, clapped his hands: “You definitely deserved the title of King of Xi Lei, a ruler of world in my eyes have to be like that.”

Rong Tian blinked his eyes and whispered in Feng Ming’s ears: “If Duke Ming truly admired me

like that, then you just have to enthusiastically collaborate on the same bed.”

Feng Ming can’t believe that Rong Tian had the audacity to request something like that while everyone was discussing serious business, making his face red like fire, he secretly gave him a warning kick. The smile on Rong Tian faded, took a moment before he regained his serious demeanor and continued: “Feng Ming already said two reasons. The third reason, Lie Er you go ahead.”

Lie Er trembled and kneel down, his face paled and stuttered: “Between Xi Lei and Li Kingdom is Yong Yin. The Great King is worried that once the army fighting in battle until their tired and

the soldiers of Xi Lei is lessen, Yong Yin will take advantage to send its infantry to occupy Xi

Lei, causing both the Great King and generals to retreat back. But...But Lie Er will use himself to swear that Yong Yin will absolutely not do anything detrimental to Xi Lei.”

Feng Ming’s gang finally realized.

Rong Tian had started to suspect the loyalty of Yong Yin towards Xi Lei, but everyone knows the relationship between Lie Er and the Prince of Yong Yin.
