Feng Qing clenched his fists tightly. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“It’s fine even if you don’t understand. You just have to know that Gu Zhenyang was escorted there as a guest from the Divine Herbs Sect. You don’t have to know about other things!” Feng Ruqing raised her hand and a long sword appeared in her hand out of thin air.
She walked toward Feng Qing.
“I always take revenge for whatever anyone has done to us. You have hurt my uncle and cousin. I’ll kill you for what you have done. I just hope that you won’t be the enemy of our Liu Yun Kingdom in your next life.”
The long sword speared him and blood gushed out from Feng Qing’s neck. His eyes widened as they were fixed on Feng Ruqing.
In the end, he still could not recover from what Feng Ruqing said…
‘Gu Zhenyang was escorted there from the Divine Herbs Sect!
‘The word ‘escorted’ has a different meaning here. That word is certainly not what it sounds like given that Young Master Zhenyang has a very deep resentment toward Liu Yun Kingdom.’
Feng Qing regretted what he had done before he died.
He regretted being the enemy of the Nalan family.
He even regretted taking the initiative to die.
Feng Qing closed his eyes unwillingly.
The enemy troops had lost him. There were more people in the Nalan family now. The enemy troops soon became like a heap of loose sand without any spirit to fight on. They soon surrendered.
One never kills those who surrender in a war.
The fights between kingdoms were different from those fights between families. They would never cease fighting until one family was completely destroyed.
No matter what kind of mistakes were done, those soldiers were just obeying the order from their superiors. They had no choice.
So, it was the emperor and ministers who were wrong here. The people obeying their orders were innocent.
n.o.body was not afraid of death. n.o.body liked war. An emperor enjoyed the joy of the soldiers fighting for more territories for him. But, those soldiers risked their lives for those territories.
That was why Liu Yun Kingdom never fought for more territories.
They just protected their own lands and did not allow for any invasion. They would never ask their innocent soldiers to die for them.
However, it did not mean that the Nalan family would take those surrendered soldiers under its wings even if they did not kill them.
Those people surrendered and they would be accepted as the soldiers of Liu Yun Kingdom but not of the Nalan family.
The soldiers from the Nalan family would choose to die instead of surrendering. So, they did not need any surrendered soldiers.
“Your Highness.” Nalan Zhangqian walked forward with staggering steps. He greeted the emperor respectfully. “I did not disappoint you. I have protected the territory of Liu Yun Kingdom.”
Feng Tianyu sighed and patted Nalan Zhangqian’s shoulder. “Brother, you’ve worked hard.”
How Feng Tianyu had addressed Nalan Zhangqian was filled with deep and true emotion.
Now, Nalan Zhangqian was not Feng Tianyu’s minister and he himself was not an emperor.
They were just a family.
Nalan Zhangqian was stunned. There were tears in his eyes.
“It’s not hard.”
“No, no, no! Brother, you’ve worked so hard.”
‘Surely, there will be times when you need to work harder…’
Feng Tianyu was not brave enough to say that.
He was afraid that Nalan Zhangqian would never return to the imperial city and guard the border immediately if he knew of the truth. Feng Tianyu wanted him to act as an emperor for him in Liu Yun Kingdom.
Nalan Zhangqian’s body shook slightly. He turned slowly and his gaze fell on Nalan Yan. He cried ceaselessly.
“Sister, welcome… home.”
‘A separation of sixteen years! A pain that lasted for sixteen years!
‘Now, she’s finally back!
‘It’s wonderful!’
Nalan Zhangqian covered his face but the tears still flowed down his cheeks from between his fingers. He was filled with a sense of great excitement.
Feng Ruqing smiled slightly and she felt a nervous stare from some distance away. She could not help but turn in that direction.
Suddenly, Qing Yuan’s pale face entered her vision. It happened so suddenly.
