Feng Yu Jiu Tian Vol 4 Chapter 9 (Part II)

　　The continuation..

　　The army still on the journey, Feng ming sat quietly on the huge tent, only by feeling the heavy scroll wheel he could know that they are being moved.

　　Seeing the danger approaching Xi Rei day by day, while he was helpless. He obviously came from a modern high degree of civilization, yet he couldn't even against Ruo yan, an ancient king.

　　He wanted to use bomb, but where could he found the tools to make the bomb? Since Miao Guang provided a dress that was being used by him as a parachute to escape, Ruo yan refused to provide any strange things he requested.

　　He wanted to use trick, but for deep scheming imperial like Ruo yan, there was no winning possibility from any kind of trick.

　　If only he got a gun in his hand. Feng ming deeply understand the importance of science and crystallization.

　　Ruo yan coldly looked at Feng ming that stayed so quiet, Ruo yan secretly saw how long he could endure.

　　Then, after a few days, Feng ming still no anxiety, Feng ming's illness was not better, the medicine that Chiu yue feed him will be spitted out several times, constantly coughing at night, making the two maids didn't know what to do.

　　The handsome outline, his thin face strangely showed a strong determination, Ruo yan softly stroking Feng ming's neck, enjoying his stubborn silence gaze.

　　"You're getting more silence." Ruo yan didn't know when he start liking stroking Feng ming's neck, the strong and powerful finger pressed on the aorta, could feel the blood flowed through Feng ming's vein, hiding his wisdom through the flow. He knew Feng ming was secretly thinking of a way.

　　Feng ming's Unwilling and unable to do anything made Ruo yan felt happy.

　　Ruo yan's gaze moved from Feng ming's arm to his dark eyes, unmindful said," The army will soon arrived at Yong yin's border."

　　The body in his arms suddenly trembled, made Ruo yan smiled lightly.

　　"Yong Yin?" Feng ming to himself.

　　Ruo yan's eyes showed the King's charisma, lower his voice said," After crossing Yong Yin, then we will arrive at Xi Rei. Duke Ming is so knowledgeable, then are you figuring out any way to save Xi Rei?"

　　The hand in his palm was soft and delicate, there is bone inside the softness, holding and rubbing gently, felt very comfortable. Feng ming concentrate on Xi rei's problem and didn't struggle at the moment.

　　"Li troops cross-border invaded Xi Rei, and during the journey there is no kingdom to attempt to stop? Feng ming frowned, looked at Ruo yan," Or there is a war in front, yet the people in the King's tent don't even know?"

　　Ruo yan laughed and said coldly," These small countries, to protect their own country has been so hard for them, how can they prevent Li King's troops only for protecting Xi Rei? They will definitely give the way to facilitate Li King, in order to obtain safety."

　　"Then Yong Yin....."

　　"Yong Yin is a small country, of course they don't dare to make any sound. Yong Yin's King has sent his credentials, and promised to open the border to let Li troops crossing Yong Yin to invade Xi Rei."

　　Feng ming frowned, angrily hit his fist," D*mn Yong yin's King, does he not understand the meaning of proverb "Without the lips, the teeth will feel cold" (Due to my understanding, the proverb meant that without Xi Rei, the other small countries around Xi Rei will be invaded next after Xi Rei, because Xi Rei couldn't protect them anymore, and they will taste the same faith with Xi Rei)? If Xi Rei disappear, Yong yin will not safe either. This moment they must work together with Xi Rei to against Li Kingdom to have a chance to survive, what a pity! Short-sighted, muddle -headed King!"

　　"Without the lips, the teeth will feel cold?" Ruo yan's eyes shone, leaned forward to imprison Feng ming in his arms, m.u.f.fled laughed," Duke ming described it so nicely. Yong yin's King this time opened his border and paving the way, indeed a great help, wait after i take care of Xi Rei, i will casually attack Yong Yin's capital, maybe would spare him a life."

　　Feng Ming glared at him, turned his face away.

　　Yet inside his mind was planning something: Yong Yin's King paving the way, he was afraid that it described the outside countries had already lost confidence on Xi Rei of the Empress ruling, most of Xi Rei's allies friend might also abandoned Xi Rei. Thus, the situation would be really bad, even Xi Rei's struggling to fight back might had lost the last glimmer of hope. Xi Rei and Li Kingdom were the two greatest and most powerful kingdoms, when Xi Rei being exterminated, Li troops would be undefeated, that time, was like repeated the same history of the Qing Kingdom to unify 6 kingdoms. Anyway, it was all because of those small and weak countries were coward, refused to unite, if this continued, after all, they would inevitably be eliminated one by one.

　　If that's the case, then would Ruo yan be this era's politics winner?

　　Feng ming secretly looked at Ruo yan, such a dignified emperor figure, majesty, compared to Rong tian really not much difference, but his eyes showed coldness, most probably would be a tyrant in the future. Feng ming gritted his teeth, secretly said,' Whatever happened, couldn't make him destroyed Xi Rei.

　　But specifically how to do, couldn't think of a countermeasure.

　　Anxiously, like poisonous fire burnt up his heart.

　　Made use of Rong tian's teaching and the natural instinct, Feng ming knew where should Xi Rei's last hope fighting back placed.

　　He had ever pa.s.sed by Yong Yin when he went to Fan Jia as an amba.s.sador, in Yong yin territory, there was a big river that almost the same as Yangtze River, named Ah Man river. For resisting the invading of Li troops, the best way was to join forces with Yong Yin King, Xi Rei and Yong yin join army wait across the river. Took over the location. With that, Li troops would loss many soldiers when crossing the river.

　　"Yong yin's prince, have you seen him?" took advantage of Ruo yan's absence, Feng ming tiredly leaned on cus.h.i.+on.

　　Chiu xing winked her eyes," When Great King ascended the throne, Yong yin's prince personally came to celebrate. I looked from afar, he is a young man with a sharp nose."

　　"How is his personality?"

　　"This......at that time i just watched the crowd, how can i know his personality?"

　　Feng ming recalled," Rong tian had ever said to me, Yong yin's prince is a visionary person. What a pity, i only playing around at that time and not doing the job properly, if i know today will come, i will make some relations and adding some insights."

　　Chiu yue suspected asked," Duke Ming why suddenly asking about Yong yin's prince?"

　　"Because of Yong yin's Ah Man river iss the best defense from military checkpoints."

　　"I understand, Duke ming is hoping Yong yin's prince can cooperate with Xi Rei, help Xi rei in Ah Man river to fight Ruo yan."

　　Feng ming stared at the tent ceiling, smiled slightly, sighed," I hope Yong yin's prince is more far-sighted than the King."

　　"Aih, Duke Ming seems like often sighing lately."

　　"Aiya, Chiu Xing, don't you also often sighing lately? That's all because of your bad influence."

　　Feng ming looked at the two weird maids, couldn't help laughing. After deep-thought for a moment, suddenly frowned, there was something faintly hidden in the brain.

　　There seemed like something was wrong. Feng ming attentively reflected, it must be somewhere missed. The heart beating so fast, he knew that some difficult problem would be solved soon.

　　"Duke Ming?"

　　Feng ming waved his hand, showed them not to disturbed his thought, he was afraid the inspiration just now would disappear. He tried to think, foolishly sat for a long while, his eyes suddenly sparkled.

　　"I got it!" Feng ming suddenly clapped his hands.

　　Chiu yue and Chiu xing shocked, looked at each other.

　　"What comes to mind?"

　　Feng ming laughed," Originally, i had been worrying for nothing, hahaha, really funny." He proudly smiled for a moment, his eyes sparkled, a strange spirit seemed to enter his body. Feng ming leaned on the table to stand up, Stretched muscles, smiled slightly," How come i forget about Lie Er?"

　　"Lie er?"

　　"Lie er had been escaped with Rong hu." Feng ming's face showed wisdom and arrogance combined with brilliance," If we have Lie er, how can we not persuade Yong yin's King to against Li Kingdom? hahaha, good Lie er, actually thought of a way to lure the enemy. Want Yong yin's King to pretend paving the way, let Ruo yan lead the troops to Ah Man river. Ruo yan thought he could shorten the distance for the troops, Didn't think it would be a natural barrier that hard to attack, moreover the battlefield is inside Yong yin, by the time, the troops will appear across the river, and the escape route will be blocked by Yong yin's troops, Li kingdom will inevitably defeated. Ruo yan ah Ruo yan, you also will have tasted the bitter fruit of your arrogant self."

　　Chiu yue blinked after listening for a long time, puzzled asked," Does Duke ming mean that Yong yin's king just pretended to give Ruo yan a face, but actually want to lure Ruo yan to Ah man river to do life and death battle?"

　　"But...is that really that difficult to cross over Ah man river?" Chiu xing also frowned and deep thought.

　　Feng ming smiled like a breeze," If I guessed right, when Li troops arrived at the Ah Man riverside, the usually large-sized s.h.i.+ps have already disappear, surging river flow, cut off their path."

　　Chiu yue shook her head," Li troop has so many soldiers, to find woods and build s.h.i.+p is not a difficult task to do."

　　"If i were Yong yin's King, i will order to migrate the coastal village before the troops arrived, also order to cut down all the trees in nearby forest. This called 'Strong fortress clear the surrounding environment' (from my understanding, it is a way to deal with the invading enemies that can neither attack nor s.n.a.t.c.h the material/supplies, they reinforced fortification and moving/migrating all the surrounding residents and material away to prevent the enemy to attack and can't take anything around to attack), in the history, there were many people used this method." Feng ming sipped his lips and nodded," Wait after Li troops finally finish building the s.h.i.+p, Xi Rei troops will appear across the river, the chance of winning will be greater."

　　"Can this method fool Li King?"

　　Feng ming sighed, uncertain answered," When Official Xia died, he should have not been had the chance to tell Ruo yang about Lie er and Yong yin's King relations.h.i.+p, if that's the case, then Ruo yan would not have guessed from Lie er about Yong yin's King's calculation."

　　Chiu yue clasped her hands, muttered," Oh my G.o.d, please don't let Ruo yan know, otherwise Xi Rei will be helpless."

　　Chiu xing also knelt down and prayed to G.o.d.

　　"Ah!"

　　"a.s.sa.s.sins..."

　　Suddenly, there was some sound outside the tent, heard inside the King's tent, seemed to happen some disturbances. The soldiers shouted," a.s.sa.s.sins! There are a.s.sa.s.sins!" There was metal striking sound, the weapons are clearly striking.

　　"a.s.sa.s.sin?" Feng ming frowned, wanted to rush to the tent door, when lifting his foot, suddenly felt the knees weaken.

　　"Duke ming!"

　　Feng ming looked up, His eyes wide opened," Where are the a.s.sa.s.sins from? Chiu yue, go check it out."

　　"The tent was being tied by several heavy curtain from the outside, wrapped in layers of leather, the sword can't even cut open, How can i go check it out?" The special tent to imprison Feng ming, beside several small holes for ventilation, the tent not even had a window, even during the day, also had to lit the candles to illuminate. Only when Ruo yan cam in, the curtain will be opened for a while, revealing a little earthy outside.

　　Soon, the sound gradually lower down, Feng ming and others didn't even know what was happening outside, held the breath, hoping to hear any traces outside.

　　But gradually, even the slightest sound had disappeared.

　　The curtain immediately being lifted, Ruo yan walked in.

　　"What happened outside?" Feng ming asked straightly.

　　Ruo yan came closer, pulled Feng ming over and kissed a couple times, smiled coldly," Just a few sneaky little thieves wanted to save their Duke Ming, heh! This time they can actually get close to the King's tent, even killed my bodyguards."

　　"This time?"

　　Ruo yan smiled said," Starting from the Capital, the people who want to save you never stop coming, but most of them were cut in the periphery army, can't even get closer."

　　"Why don't you tell me?"

　　"What's the point of telling you?" Ruo yan opened his palm in front of Feng ming, and then slowly gripped, mocked," Do you think you can escape from my palm?"

　　"How's the condition of the people who come to save me?"

　　"Some with the good skill successfully escaped, the others are dead." Ruo yan bit Feng ming's earlobe, whispered," Today i answer what you ask, Duke ming also should give me some consolation."

　　Feng ming silently glared at him, yet speculating inside: The people who came to save him, there must be Lie er's subordinates.

　　"The people who come to save me, are they multiplied lately?"

　　Ruo yan frowned," I also feel weird, they seemed to want to die early by coming here nonstop."

　　Chiu xing and Chiu yue carefully exchange eyes, they understood a little, tomorrow would be arrived at Ah Man river, if Duke Ming guessed right, tomorrow Ruo yan would realize he got fooled, but Lie er of course must found a way to save Duke ming before this.

　　Unfortunately, among the Li troops, the King's tent was not so easy to get close.

　　Wheels were still heavy and slow rolling.

　　Still had one day to arrive at Ah man river. at the night, Feng ming still being held in Ruo yan's arms, he always opened his eyes, sort up the mess in his head.

　　Yong yin's King att.i.tude and Lie er's purpose had finally thought clearly, but deep inside, there were still something faintly hidden. Solved the one last mystery, in order to the whole plot.

　　"You're awake the whole night, what are you thinking?" In the flickering candlelight, Ruo yan suddenly opened his eyes.

　　"What else i can think, don't i just being played by in your palm?" Feng ming gritted his teeth," you hug me uncomfortably, can't sleep."

　　Ruo yan stared at Feng ming, laughed, just when he wanted to talk, there was sound outside the tent," Great King, the spy has returned, all the s.h.i.+ps on Ah Man river has disappeared."

　　As expected, Feng ming snickered.

　　Ruo yan sat up on the bed, lower his voice asked," Ask the people nearby, where are the s.h.i.+ps gone."

　　"Report to Great King, no people in nearby, all the villages are empty, couldn't find even one person."

　　Ruo yan frowned, his face showed something wrong," Pa.s.s the order, Find woods and build the s.h.i.+ps."

　　"Report to Great King......." The soldier knelt outside the tent had probably got cold sweats all over his forehead, gingerly said," The nearby forest, all were being burnt......."

　　Bang! the banging sound interrupted the spy's words.

　　Ruo yan's face darkened, the jade statue beside the bed had been pushed to the ground. He was indeed the King of Li kingdom, took a deep breath, he had already calmed down, thought for a moment, hi dangerously looked at Feng ming," Excuse me, Duke Ming, what are you plotting inside?" Though gentle and polite, yet it revealed the taste before the arrival of the storm.

　　Feng ming interestingly watched Ruo yan's angry face, couldn't help to smile, leisurely reclined on the bed," You're so great, yet you haven't figure anything out?"

　　"Yong yin's King has already scheming from the start?" Ruo yan suspected," A mere small kingdom, how dare they go against Li kingdom's army?"
