Feng Yu Jiu Tian - Volume 9 - Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4

Feng Ming couldn’t disagree with Rong Tian, but he suddenly remembered about Cai Qing and told Rong Tian that Cai Jiang still has a mother therefore they can’t separate them.

Rong Tian had already secretly planned on how to answer this and asked Feng Ming if Cai Jiang truly has gifted hands to learn swordsmanship and if he does, then Feng Ming should allow Cai Jiang to learn it from the number one swordsman.

Feng Ming was still upset that Rong Tian used Cai Jiang as a bargaining tool.

RT: If you want wealth, you need to create trade. Who was the one that said this? FM: It was me....but....

RT: Sea route is a type of trade route and will allow us to gain insight and control a large portion on our enemies’ economic status. If we want to be the ruler of the world, other than military force, we also need talent. If there are no food supplies, how can one kingdom manage? How can an army perform well? This should be common sense to you.

FM: I understand...

RT: Why shouldn’t we accept something we need and also give Cai Jiang a great master for him to have a chance to use his gifted talent?

Soon, Master Xiao sent over one of his disciples to look over Rong Tian’s plan for the ambush mission and requested Rong Tian to place Master Xiao and the other men in the group where Lady Yao Ye will be.

After the plan was all set, Rong Tian was about to request Feng Ming to stay behind but Feng Ming was extremely persistent in being together with Rong Tian and not separating again (especially after the whole Lover’s Blood incident and the oath he made at Dong Fan).

Seeing that he can’t persuade Feng Ming otherwise, they head out on the ambush mission together.

Lie Er will lead Rong Tian’s troops out front carrying torches. As baits, they are to lure the enemies into a trap. Yong Yi and Mei Ji’s soldiers and guards will follow behind Lie Er’s troops, traveling in darkness with Rong Tian and Feng Ming leading them. Master Xiao, his men, and Lady Yao Ye will be in charge of blocking exit routes and assassinating the lead commander.

They have about one hour before the sun comes out to complete this mission. When Lie Er and the troops head into a narrow passageway in the middle of high cliffs, they were ambushed by the enemies. Feng Ming recognized the familiar voice in charge and was eager to go help Lie Er, but Rong Tian ordered him to wait a bit more for Master Xiao’s group to give a signal (whistle & smoke) that they’ve surrounded the enemies before Rong Tian’s group will start attacking.

Once the signal was given, they charged out to fight. Feng Ming barely fought before he was taken away from the battlefield by Mian Ya and relocated to a safe spot away from the fighting. When getting dragged carried away, Feng Ming cursed Rong Tian for not letting him stay and fight alongside. Feng Ming tried struggling with Mian Ya and ordered him to bring him back, but because of Rong Tian’s orders he can’t do as Feng Ming said.

After struggling on the horse and trying to free himself from Mian Ya’s grip, Feng Ming ends up falling off the horse and hitting his head on the ground.

Note: Chiu Xing and Chiu Yue also asked to come along to take care of Cai Jiang on the battlefield.
