Feng Yu Jiu Tian - Volume 9 - Chapter 5-6

CHAPTER 5 & 6

The poor guards had to bandage Feng Ming’s bleeding head after he fell off the horse. They were blaming themselves but Feng Ming thought it was only a minor injury. After they were done, Feng Ming noticed that the battle seemed to have stopped.

However, Rong Tian did not head back to see him. After a long while of no one telling him why Rong Tian felt flustered and upset, Feng Ming grew angry. He anxiously demanded Chiu Yue to explain, since no one wanted to and only gave him vague answers.

Chiu Yue eventually tells Feng Ming that they have captured General Tong, who told them that this ambush plan was indeed set up by Tong Er and Ruo Yan. However, Ruo Yan was not in charge of this ambush; he is in charge of another ambush.

Confirming their fears, Ruo Yan had indeed set a second ambush at their hidden campsite, believing that Feng Ming would have been left behind there.

Rong Tian and everyone knew about this but didn’t want Feng Ming to know, fearing that Feng Ming would want to head back to the campsite to save the others.

The hidden campsite was completely defenseless since all the troops had been brought out for their mission. They all knew that everyone inside there—Rong Hu, Chiu Lan, Mei Ji, the Third Princess, and perhaps even Bo Ling—had been left to fend for themselves. Knowing Ruo Yan’s personality, if he could not find Feng Ming, he would’ve killed everyone to vent his anger.

Feng Ming wanted Rong Tian to head back to the campsite to save the others. However, Rong Tian knew if he were to save them, two things could happen: one, a hostage exchange in which he would lose Feng Ming (since that’s the only person Ruo Yan wants) and that cannot happen, or two, Ruo Yan would kill all the hostages in front of Feng Ming’s eyes, leaving Feng Ming to deal with the horror for the rest of his life (which Rong Tian would not allow).

Despite all of Feng Ming’s pleas, Rong Tian continued to refuse to head back to the campsite. When Feng Ming asked why, Rong Tian laid it down firmly to Feng Ming that it was because he is the Great King and his words are absolute.

Feng Ming was overly shocked that Rong Tian would say that so he told Rong Tian that since he was not going back, he (FM) will head back himself, even if it meant losing his own life.

After hearing that, Rong Tian forcefully slapped Feng Ming twice and told him to never belittle his life or act irrationally again.

A messenger came and told them that Ruo Yan had indeed raided the campsite and since he couldn’t find Feng Ming, he locked all of the people inside Mei Ji’s barrack and lit the place on fire.

Hearing the news, everyone was shocked and horrified to learn that Rong Hu, Chiu Lan, Mei Ji, and the others probably did not survive and had been burnt alive.

Feng Ming and Chiu Xing decided to look for Lie Er, knowing that Lie Er must be grieving about his brother’s loss.

In a far distance, Lie Er was riding his horse towards them at full speed. Feng Ming thought Lie Er would be upset, but instead he was overjoyed. He told everyone that Rong Hu and Chiu Lan were safe and would be heading back to join up with them.

Both Feng Ming and Chiu Xing thought that Lie Er couldn’t cope with the loss and had gone crazy from grief. After Lie Er reported the news to Rong Tian, Rong Tian told Zi Yan (a young commander who was not familiar with Rong Hu) to investigate the matter and to question the people who claimed to be Rong Hu and Chiu Lan.

Both Lie Er and Feng Ming were confused as to why Rong Tian would be suspicious, but the Great King, being a cautious man, had to be certain that everyone and everything were verified before taking any further action.

Zi Yan returned and told everyone that after interrogating Rong Hu and Chiu Lan separately, they both claim to have withdrawn from the campsite after the group had left. The two of them did not know that Ruo Yan had raided the campsite and were shocked to discover that it had been lit on fire.

When asked why they had left the campsite even though Rong Hu was in critical condition, they replied that it was Lady Yao Ye’s suggestion for them to follow along. Rong Hu’s injury required a dosage of medication each day, and he needed to follow her so she can apply the medication and bandages.

Additionally, the reason why they were late in reaching everyone else was because Lady Yao Ye had told them not to rush. Chiu Lan didn’t want to speed up the horse carriage for fear that Rong Hu’s injury might reopen and become worse.

After their testimonies made sense, Rong Tian decided to go meet his mother-in-law with Feng Ming on the nearby mountain slope.

The slope was heavily guarded by Xiao Zong’s men, but since Rong Tian and Feng Ming came by, they were allowed through.

When they got there, Master Xiao was nowhere to be found. Only Lady Yao Ye was there along with Cai Jiang.

They questioned her as to why she would want Rong Hu and Chiu Lan to leave the campsite when after the ambush mission, they could have returned to the campsite. (Rong Tian suspected that Lady Yao Ye might have banded together with Ruo Yan with an ulterior motive.)

Lady Yao Ye knew Rong Tian was suspecting her, but told them that the reason was because she wasn’t planning on staying at the campsite, and was in fact planning on leaving with Cai Jiang. She wanted Rong Hu and Chiu Lan to leave the campsite so she could patch him up one last time before leaving the medication instructions and travel around the world with Cai Jiang.

Feng Ming was sad that Lady Yao Ye would be taking Cai Jiang with her and asked Rong Tian how could he let her do that.

Rong Tian told Feng Ming that they already promised her and also besides her, no one else can protect Cai Jiang - especially from the cold-hearted Master Xiao.

Feeling sad, Feng Ming asked to hold Cai Jiang for the last time, but the little boy reached out his hands and wanted his grandmother to hold him instead. (Poor FM, he couldn’t believe that within a short period of time with Lady Yao Ye, his son was betraying him already).

Before they left, Lady Yao Ye pulled Feng Ming aside and asked him about his sex life, and whether he is on top or bottom. After guessing that her son is a bottom, she decided to give Feng Ming a pill to slip into Rong Tian’s drink.

Rong Tian asked Feng Ming what he and Lady Yao Ye were discussing, but Feng Ming just shrugged it off and kept the pill as a souvenir (since he wasn’t sure what kind of magic voodoo or tricks she put in the pill).

======

Lady Yao Ye pulled Feng Ming under a tree where no one else is there and asked him.

YY: When the two of you are together, who’s top and who’s bottom?

Feng Ming did not guess that she would suddenly asked this. It was like someone lit him on fire that from his neck to his forehead was blushing red.

He stuttered: “This...this...right now, it’s not completely decided....

YY: Seeing your pathetic weakling appearance like this, how can you have the ability to top Xi Lei King? I didn’t accept you before because you seemed like the type to get bullied by others. But since I’ve accepted you, Yao Ye’s son can’t be a useless nobody that get pushed down by others.

Is being pushed down by others mean that they are useless? This matter needs to be re-examined carefully.

However, Feng Ming was so embarrassed that he hate himself for not being able to dig a hole so he could hide himself in. How could he even have the strength to debate with her about this?

Even now, he couldn’t imagined that his “mother” would discuss with him on the topic of who holds who..

Lady Yao Ye scold him a few a words and after thinking for a bit, her eyes lit up in a strange malicious way.

YY: Open up your hand.

When her highness gave her order, Feng Ming had to obediently open up his hand. She placed a small round green pill in his hand.

YY: Put this in his wine for Xi Lei King to drink.

It seems that when they are about to be separated, Lady Yao Ye showed Feng Ming a bit of motherly love....
