Feng Yu Jiu Tian - Volume 7 - Chapter 7

CHAPTER 7

FM: (feeling puzzled) What is Advisor trying to say?

LD: Duke Ming’s body has been crippled/damaged; if at this time you were not treated, then in the future your body would be inevitably grow weaker, just like mine.

Lu Dan held out his hand and lifted Feng Ming’s chin, staring straight into the depths of Feng Ming’s pupils.

LD: I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling about the future of Dong Fan. A disaster is coming, Dong Fan probably will not escape this catastrophe. But I truly believe, Duke Ming will be able to protect the Great King. Because of the Great King, Duke Ming must be safe. These last few days, I will use the rest of my life span to help regain Duke Ming’s strength that had been lost.

FM: NO!

Feng Ming stepped back and stared at Lu Dan, shook his head and said. FM: There’s no need! I forbid you to do so!

Feng Ming vaguely knew that there was some truth in Lu Dan’s words. Ever since the battle at Aman River, indeed his body slowly weakens. Therefore, every time Rong Tian heard him cough, he would be scare.

Even so, it does not mean that he can just sit back and relax while another person use their precious life to restore his strength.

Lu Dan wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn’t stand the cold wind and suddenly coughed for a long moment before he stopped and looked up at Feng Ming who was still recovering from shock.

LD: Does Duke Ming have any ability to stop me from doing it? This place is Dong Fan palace, I can partition magic. Duke Ming should not forget, you had just used the refreshments/tea from my palace, within those refreshments, I have cast a type of “media”, but this time it is not fresh blood.

FM: (shocked) Why are you doing this?

Lu Dan smiled and gently came close to Feng Ming.

LD: I want you, to forever become indebted by my kindness.

The beautiful face like a god right in front of his eyes, Feng Ming’s body shivered all over.

How deep is Lu Dan’s knowledge? Perhaps he still doesn’t know what Feng Ming is hiding from him, but for his most beloved person, he is willing to create a better situation for the worst future outcome.

If because of Feng Ming, Lu Dan sacrifices his precious last few days, if Ping Xi does have a catastrophe, if Xi Lei’s army attack, if Rong Tian’s plans succeed in overtaking Dong Fan, then the least Feng Ming could do was to risk his life in order to protect Dong Fan King.

He stared at the beautiful pair of eyes and a moment later, he finally found enough strength to regain his natural breathing.

FM: Is it worth it?

The smile of Lu Dan’s face flourished, he suddenly stood straight up and looked across at the snow covered pine forest in the distance.

LD: Does Duke Ming know what is considered “a general trend of events”? If a large ship is flowing into the rapids and you can’t control the direction with the rudder, no matter how intelligent the person on the ship is in calculating when it will hit the reef, the person still won’t have the power to change the situation. He could only watch the ship head towards destruction. Even if someone is powerful, he cannot rule the world on his own, because a person’s strength is always limited.

He turned around to face Feng Ming and sighed.

LD: Dong Fan is flowing into the rapids, and the rudder is being controlled by those of opposite views, If the rudder can be control entirely by one person then perhaps Dong Fan can survive a bit longer. Obtaining sole power is never easy; therefore, the Great King needs someone to help him. But the one thing I’m worried about is an appearance of an unexpected enemy within rapids.

His glance strikes towards Feng Ming’s direction, causing Feng Ming to feel a burst of coldness down his spine.

At that moment, a soldier came and told Feng Ming that Jun Ling Si requested his presence as an emergency arises.

Feng Ming arrived at the Military Meeting hall, he hoped that Rong Tian didn’t send another letter. Chang Yen told Feng Ming that they also requested Master Sun to come too, but she refused, which Feng Ming added that his Master didn’t want to involve herself with military affairs anymore.

Jun Ling Si walked in and one of the soldiers informed him that majority of the soldiers have been urgently recalled, except for Ninth Army and Eleventh Army, who are currently in the outside border, while the other troops who are within the capital’s vicinity will be coming back tonight.

Jun Qing nodded and looked over at Xie Guang (another general) JQ: Please tell us a bit about the situation.

XG: Not so long ago, I was ordered by Jun Ling Si to bring the 12th Army to take care of the ambush in the south. Unfortunately, the enemies already knew our position, the siege was not only unsuccessful, they set up many traps and our troops had received mass casualties.

CY: Moreover, many signs showed that the soldiers ambush outside the city were far more than the number we had estimated. We can say that our capital is now in danger.

JQ: I have ordered the brightest elite to march back into the capital.

Feng Ming was suddenly aware that the conversation between him and Empress Dowager was overheard.

One of the Generals said: “That means that the military forces of all the other cities are withdrawn.”

JQ: The Capital city is more important than the rest, we cannot take the risk.

FM: Bei Qi’s strategy sure is strange. What’s the point in capturing the Capital? Capturing is easy, but defending it is difficult. Occupying the central capital, the surrounding cities will immediately surround them; therefore, their victory won’t last long.

JQ: The chaos caused by the Priestesses just ended, which is the period of turbulence for Dong Fan. If right now, the Capital were to have any unexpected incident, it will shake the foundation of the entire kingdom. Even if we can recapture the capital, the people would already be fretting, that would be a devastating blow that will only lead to destruction. During such a critical moment like this and choosing to create a surprise attack on our capital, this plan will cause them to lose a lot of troops, but it will lower our strength and Dong Fan’s morale. At the end, we are still at a lost.

A Lieutenant of the 5th Army pound the table and said: “I don’t know who came up this such a sinister plan like this, if I capture him, I definitely will boil him alive and throw him to the wolves to vent my hatred.”

All the other generals and soldiers nodded their heads, only Chang Yen was a bit sad. He looked towards Jun Qing, who gave him a sign. CY: There is also one other important thing...

He was a veteran general of Dong Fan, once he raised his voice, the crowd quieted down almost immediately.

CY: All of the signs we’ve found had indicated that there is a spy among us. Especially with the plan to take care of the ambush in the south today, only people from lieutenant rank and higher knows about this.

If the highest level of military affairs planning of Dong Fan are known the enemies and within their grasps, then wouldn’t it be the same as fighting the enemy on the battlefield blindfolded?

From the Lieutenant ranking and above, there is a traitor?

More than a dozen eyes, sharply focused their attention on one person.

At that time, the hairs on Feng Ming’s body stood straight up. Are they mistaken? Even though he could be considered as a traitor per se, but this is definitely not his doing!

Coming in contact with Jun Qing’s gaze, Feng Ming suddenly stood up.

FM: I should be the person that is not qualified to participate in the military affairs meeting and of course not on the same level as Jun Ling Si. Forget it, those who is suspected by others, no matter what he says will only be seen as excuses. I just want to know, how will Jun Ling Si plan on dealing with me?

One general from 14th Army stepped forward and said: “I request Jun Ling Si to hand over this spy to me, I guarantee that within one hour time, I will make him reveal all the secrets he has.”

Feng Ming secretly felt chills down his spine.

FM: One hour later, not only will I reveal all the secrets, but I’ll also ensure that in the future I will never again fight with Jun Ling Si for anything. Haha, anyway, everyone here are all from the military division, no one will dare to say that Jun Ling Si used despicable means to deal with a rival.

Jun Ting’s glanced towards Feng Ming’s direction, the entire military meeting hall went extremely quiet.

Feng Ming bit his lips, stood there facing Jun Qing. All sort of cruel punishments that he had seen on television, it seems like he will finally have a chance to experience them, which will not be something pleasant. The worst thing is, Empress Dowager is still within the inner

palace of Dong Fan, this matter will definitely implicate her as well.
