Feng Yu Jiu Tian - Volume 6 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER 10

After the agreement, Feng Ming became a very special guest. But in reality nothing changed very much, he was still in the same room and ate the same meal. Every day Lu Dan would visit and would ask him intimately about the strategies.

FM: Please blame Feng Ming for not believing Advisor. The agreement of using military strategies to exchange Feng Ming’s welfare, this issue once we meet Dong Fan King, we'll notify him. Either way, Feng Ming is a fish on a platter, only Advisor can see how to deal with me. As for now, it’s also Advisor that can change your mind.

LD: Duke Ming’s is right, let’s wait until we meet Dong Fan King to continue talking.

Afterwards, Feng Ming noticed that the maid that helping put wood into the fire is of different skin color than the Dong Fan people, so he asked her about it curiously.

She replied: “Replying to Duke Ming, your servant grew up in Dong Fan, but I am not of Dong Fan, but is of Kingdom Tong.”

FM: Kingdom Tong? Isn't that a neighboring kingdom of Xi Lei? Why is a young girl far away from home and living in Dong Fan?

She tells Feng Ming that she was kidnapped and sold off to Dong Fan. She is afraid that her parents might have thought she is dead by now.

She later on brings in a bottle wine and asked if Duke Ming would like to try it, a special wine that Lu Dan usually drinks as well. Feng Ming understands and ends up drinking it. Since his alcohol tolerance is low, he ends up dizzy and falls into Lu Dan’s arms when Lu Dan came to visit him. Feng Ming starts splurging out words.

FM: This wine is just like Advisor, Feng Ming cannot not drink it. Inside the mouth it’s sweet, and then later you know it’s strength, very good indeed. (He stood up and blew a breath of wine in Lu Dan’s face, even bit his ear) Advisor is very beautiful, do you know the ancient story....? It’s about a beauty scheme in the book Sun Zi. Only beautiful people like Advisor can make use of it.

After that he was unconscious. For three days, Feng Ming did not see Lu Dan and when asked, the servants just said that Lu Dan was busy. They eventually reached shore (but not the shores of Dong Fan), but is switched to horse carriage for transportation the rest of the way.

Along the way, Lu Dan asked Feng Ming about the beauty scheme, in which Feng Ming talks about his so called master “Sun Zi” and how there are two different books, etc...making Lu Dan believe every word.

Finally they reach Dong Fan’s capital of Ping Xi.
