Chapter 107 He's Someone You Can't Afford to Provoke
ye feng subsequently left the elegant bamboo residence, and as for commander xia of the southern territory, he wanted to follow along but was refused.
helpless, commander xia left the private room without a word.
in truth, he naturally wished to follow this younger yet most potential king from high above, but commander xia also knew that even though his own skills were decent, after the previous incident, it was impossible for him to become the confidant of the other party.
in other words, the northern border king wouldn't accept him, and it was already a mercy that he wasn't killed.
"who would've thought that the northern border king would come to the southern territory so quietly? it seems the southern territory will not be peaceful for long!"
commander xia smiled bitterly as he sat in the car, but soon he thought of a key point, "this king of the southern territory is said to be wise and god-like, comparable to a celestial god descending to earth, so why is he a wheelchair-bound cripple with broken legs?"
for a moment, commander xia considered using his contacts to investigate, but after giving it some thought, he decided against it.
"forget it, i'll do my best with my duties, as for the rest, i don't want to invite disaster upon myself!"
commander xia sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, while the two southern territory attendants, though very curious as to why their commander had respectfully seen off the wheelchair-bound youth upon his departure, found it quite unscientific.
of course, this was a question that, although the subordinates were curious about, they would never dare to ask outright.
the car soon returned to the jiang family home, where jiang youcai and several jiang family elders stood at the gate to welcome him.
"commander xia is back. you've worked hard. surely the issue has been resolved by now? that ye feng, the mad son-in-law of the hong family, is probably already thrown into the southern river and fed to the fishes, right?" jiang youcai cheerfully approached to open the door.
without a word, commander xia kicked him, sending him sprawling on the ground.
"get lost, you damn dog, you almost got me killed!"
swearing angrily, commander xia still seemed unable to let it go and kicked jiang youcai three meters away again.
the people from the jiang family looked at each other but didn't dare to utter a word.
commander xia strode into the interior, heading straight to the backyard.
jiang yicai, due to his broken leg, could only sit in a wheelchair, but having already received a call from jiang youcai, he dared not speak when commander xia entered.
naturally, murong yi had a not insignificant talent for martial arts. now barely past his twenty-eighth year, he had already broken through to inner strength half a month ago, becoming a true grandmaster. such talent was considered quite outstanding among his peers.
without any unforeseen circumstances, he would be the head of the gusu murong family for who knows how many generations and might even become the king of east river!
thus, when it came to beheading the rival, murong yi felt at ease, as if it were as commonplace to him as eating and drinking. he was somewhat disdainful, even feeling that it was making too much ado about nothing.
after all, they were dealing with a cripple with a broken leg; the family had actually dispatched three grandmasters for this task, and that wasn't all—they even called upon two retainers!
at that moment, those two retainers were sitting in the back seat of the car behind him, one thin and one fat. the thin one had a slender figure, whereas the fat one was rather short.
these two were the retainers of the gusu murong king's mansion. to be able to serve as retainers to the mansion, they naturally could not be mediocre. at that moment, both were reclining in their seats with closed eyes, resting, yet their bodies radiated an aura of menace.
what was more dreadful was that the two in the driver and passenger seats were shivering with cold. despite it being the peak of summer and the air conditioning not set especially low, they felt extremely cold, as if chilled to the bone.
the whole car seemed to be filled with a sinister cold air, which, astonishingly, seemed to emanate from the breaths of these two retainers of differing heights!
in the leading car, murong hai frowned slightly and laughed, "though i am not gifted in martial dao talent, thankfully i still have a bit of a head for business. our murong branch in the southern river region has suffered a setback, but for us at the murong king's mansion, this is a rare opportunity."
murong yi didn't understand his father's scheme, so he simply frowned slightly and listened on.
murong hai sneered slightly and continued, "as the saying goes, 'you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.' over the years, due to the deep-rooted influence of the four great families, we at the murong king's mansion have tried several times to extend our reach and control over the southern river region, but we've returned frustrated each time. now, however...
things are different, the situation has changed!"
murong yi finally understood, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "father means to say, we at the murong king's mansion can take this opportunity to gather these families and thereby achieve the goal of controlling the southern river region?"
"naturally, that's half of the properties of several major families! with these, our strength at the murong king's mansion can rise to the next level, and then it might not be impossible to stand toe-to-toe with the king of the eastern border!"
"according to intelligence, the headquarters of that foundation is located at the martial alliance of southern river region jiangnan. presumably, the representatives of those major families are there right now, busy discussing how to transfer their assets into the foundation. so, father, is this why you changed course to the martial alliance of southern river region jiangnan?" discover hidden tales at empire
"indeed, let's head to the martial alliance of southern river region jiangnan forthwith. compared to these big fat lambs, what does a small mad son-in-law of the hong family count for? first we'll gather these wealthy clans, then it'll be a simple matter to dispose of that ye fellow!"
"father is wise; truly the 'living zhuge liang,' the 'fan li of the business world'!" murong yi praised repeatedly, fully flushed with excitement.
the cars immediately changed direction and sped toward the martial alliance of southern river region jiangnan.
and as for all of this, the person in question, ye feng, naturally knew nothing. of course, he didn't care. to him, this gusu murong king's mansion, though known as the king of east river, was just a somewhat stronger crawler in his eyes.
