Chapter 108: Your Majesty, the Princess Consort is in grave trouble!
ye feng returned to the villa in the afternoon. hong qingyan was not yet back, so he simply entered the bedroom to cultivate.
next, a major matter at hand was traveling to the southern territory.
the situation in the southern territory was complex, not to mention the current struggle between the several great commanders, but just the lords of the nine domains alone were enough to give one a headache.
ye feng remembered very clearly that even the old king of the southern territory from the previous generation was unable to completely subdue those lords of the nine domains, and the current king of the southern territory was even less capable.
the southern territory not only had the hundred thousand mountains, but also various minority groups living together. due to historical issues, nine domains were formed within the deep mountains of the southern territory.
these nine domains were ostensibly under the control of the southern territory, but in fact, they each governed themselves and paid lip service to the king of the southern territory.
given these conditions, if ye feng wanted to enter the southern territory, it wouldn’t be too easy.
however, on the other hand, he was the youngest and strongest among the kings of the four realms, even stronger than the king of the southern territory. something the king of the southern territory couldn’t do, he might not necessarily be unable to accomplish.
"next, i must enhance my realm and combat power as much as possible. not to mention the southern territory, those so-called distinguished scholars and powerful families in the imperial capital will probably become restless soon!"
ye feng smiled faintly. he had a premonition that a larger-scale assassination attempt was definitely brewing against him in the imperial capital!
and the reason ye feng had yet to return to the capital region or the northern border was precisely because he was waiting for their move!
of course, another important reason was that during the last attack in the capital region, his travel date was confidential, known to few people. yet, the attackers seemed to know his whereabouts perfectly well, which allowed them to set up that precise assassination attempt.
"there must be a spy among my people, and furthermore, it must be someone very close to me!" ye feng’s eyes blazed.
however, up to now, he hadn’t completely pinpointed who the spy was, so he didn’t wish to immediately return to the northern border!
"who could this hidden betrayer be?" ye feng murmured to himself, and without realizing it, a killing intent surged through his body.
but soon, ye feng suppressed his emotions, made a dharma seal with his hands, and immediately entered the cultivation state.
along the spacious streets, the car hurtled forward, racing crazily toward the east along the river.
following the south river, they saw a small island after about ten minutes—a slight exaggeration, as it was more of a somewhat larger sandbar.
surrounded by green trees, from the shore, one could see quaint buildings, with a seven-story tower at the very center.
and this sandbar was the headquarters of the martial alliance of the southern river region jiangnan!
there was no bridge connecting the sandbar to this side of the riverbank. however, there were plenty of man-made boats available for crossing. thus, ye feng and the others had to abandon their car and board a boat.
displeased with the slow rowing of the boatman, sima zhan tian took over, while xiao chuan urged him on, knowing the princess consort was also trapped inside. any mishap could tear a hole in the sky over jiangnan.
throughout this time, ye feng merely sat in the middle of the bed, his expression still calm, yet everyone could feel that at this moment, the northern border king exuded a different sort of formidable aura.
as they rowed past the center of the river channel, two attendant guards on the opposite sandbar immediately reported, "a young man in a wheelchair, that must be him. we must go and inform the others!" with that, they turned around and ran toward the ancient buildings in the depths of the sandbar.
"young master, he’s arrived, he’s here!" the two attendants shouted from a distance.
at the main entrance of the central ancient building complex, murong yi was practicing his martial arts poses. hearing the shouts, he sneered, "arrived? that ye feng, the mad son-in-law of the hong family, really has come. unexpectedly, that cripple dares to show up at our doorstep!"
"you few, follow me. let’s meet this brat and see if he really has ’three heads and six arms’!" murong yi waved his hand, ready to head toward the ferry landing.
an older attendant guard of the murong prince mansion hurriedly called out, "young lord murong, this might not be appropriate. the old master instructed us not to act rashly should this ye fellow arrive!"
"what do you mean by ’not to act rashly’?"
murong yi was irritated and stared at him coldly, snorting, "do you mean to say that i am not capable of handling it on my own, or are you doubting my ability?"
"your subordinate wouldn’t dare, your subordinate wouldn’t dare!" the attendant guard repeatedly bowed.
"hmph, i thought as much. you wouldn’t dare. what’s there to fear? i am now a master of inner force; he’s just a crippled wastrel. there’s nothing to be afraid of. i will go and extinguish him now, then take his head to present to my father!" murong yi snorted and then, with his face full of arrogance, strode toward the ferry landing. find adventures on empire
