Rong Tian’s sneaking into the Tong Kingdom was a confidential matter.Outside, there were people who didn’t know of his presence, including some fromthe Xiao Family. Although they could be considered on the same side, in orderto protect Rong Tian’s security, it was better that less people knew.
That’s why, standing outside the door, Rong Hu had not mentioned RongTian when reporting.
Feng Ming cried out in disappointment, his spirit dampened.
He was looking forward to having a good time, but was interrupted by RongHu. With a dejected look, Feng Ming scratched his head and raised his voice toanswer. “Come in, Rong Hu. What important matter do you have to report?”
Rong Hu entered, followed by two others.
One was the fully rested and fed Zi Yan, and the other was an unexpectedguest who caught him by surprise.
“Mian Ya?” A surprised expression was plastered on his face. Feng Minghad already covered his body with the silk quilt by the time Rong Hu steppedthrough the threshold. He smiled and continued, “You’ve also come? Such perfecttiming. When did you arrive? Ah, we have such a big gathering, today sure is.e.xciting!”
Closing the door, they did not become complacent and saluted to the Kingand Duke Ming.
After greeting them properly, Mian Ya responded to Feng Ming’squestions. “Reporting to Duke Ming, this subordinate has just arrived to HanRuo. The King had instructed me to investigate the situation in each kingdom.After gathering all the news and information, I immediately went to Dong Fan toreport, however, the King had already left to join up with Duke Ming. That iswhy I personally came to Tong. Fortunately, I am able to meet up with both thegreat King and Duke Ming.”
He was weary from travelling, evidenced by his darkened skin andskinnier frame.
All the troubles he went through could be seen clearly on his face.
Rong Tian’s main concern was the intelligence reports on the movementsof the other kingdoms. He felt a bit elated once Mian Ya arrived.
The first thing Rong Tian asked was, “Where is Ruo Yan right now?”
“Reporting to your Majesty, according to the information thissubordinate gathered, Li’s King is currently in hiding.” Mian Ya’s response wasbrief, almost as if the news was not important, however his face carried notrace of relaxation as he continued. “Your Majesty, on my way here, I pa.s.sedthrough the city of Yue Zhong. Recently, Prince Yong Yi gained the King of YongYin’s approval to officially exercise his jurisdiction on Yue Zhong. The Princewill now keep a close eye on the city. For the time being, we won’t have toworry about Qian Lin and the others since Yong Yin will deploy its troopsthere.”
“Good.” Rong Tian could see through their uneasy expressions and hesoftly asked, “Now, report the bad news. Why do the three of you look so troubled?”
“At the moment, Yue Zhong is in safe hands while Fan Jia is distractedby Li. All these things had already been predicted by Your Majesty. But it’sstrange that Li’s King has remained hidden and quiet recently. Subordinate wasworried about this matter and just now, after reaching Han Ruo and talking toRong Hu, only discovered…”
“Understood,” Rong Tian’s gaze fixed on Rong Hu. “Rong Hu, you continuethe report.”
These three were men Rong Tian had personally picked and trained. Withall three showing such a bad expression, he knew that there was definitely badnews.
He already had a guess at what the problem could be.
Could Lie Erpossible be in trouble?
Rong Hu’s face was serious as he reported, “Your Majesty, after settingoff from Yue Zhong, Mian Ya had met up with Prince Yong Yi and was informedthat Lie Er had already gone to Tong in order to regroup with us.”
“Huh?” Feng Ming’s eyes grew bigger as he doubtfully asked, “When did hego? Why did we not meet him along the way?”
“Subordinate’s worries are… precisely because of this issue.”
