Hong Yu Lin's residence became the center of everyone's attention because the news of the old man's death had already spread throughout the city.
The absence of a single injured guard left everyone wondering what had happened in the residence. Some visitors at a restaurant were discussing about Hong Yu Lin's mysterious death.
"Did Hong Yu Lin commit suicide?"
"Ah... There's no way the old man killed himself!"
"It looks like he was secretly killed. The guards don't even know when the man died."
"I heard him hanging himself with a cloth."
"Could it be one of the servants over there who did it?"
"But, isn't everyone happy to hear of the old man's death?"
"True, he deserved to die. He tried so many times to force my daughter to marry him! Not just my daughter, there are still many other girls she wants to be her concubine. Old bastard doesn't know himself!"
"Isn't your daughter only 16?"
"True, he wanted a child his granddaughter's age to be his wife. That's why I said he deserved to die!"
"St!! Watch what you say. There are many people here who will hear you."
"Just let them hear it, after all everyone here already knows Hong Yu Lin's rottenness."
A man sitting among the visitors was staring at the people who were talking about Hong Yu Lin's death. He silenced a smile as those people said that Hong Yu Lin indeed deserved to die.
The man left money on the table as payment for his order. After he finished the tea that was inside his cup, he went out and left the restaurant.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Get more water! Hurry along! Hurry along!" shouted a man wearing a lion-patterned battle suit where it was a symbol of Xi's country.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers paced back and forth to raise water from the nearby lake to put out the blazes that continued to burn into the main camp of State Councillor Xi.
They were overwhelmed by the growing fire. Even though the fire had been doused with countless water barrels, there was not the slightest bit of embers extinguished.
The soldiers of Xi state started to feel tired, sweat splashing down their faces. A stream of water flowed down from the forehead through the face to drip to the ground, but the red king was still firmly on fire devouring everything around him.
"How's this? What do we do now?" said General Fang who is the leader there.
Counselor Lin looked at General Fang with a face that looked annoyed. He felt that all these events were the man's fault for continuing to delay the time to attack the Han state's defensive walls.
"You take care of the matter yourself, I will return to Xi's country and report today's incident to His Majesty" said adviser Lin.
"Wait!" shouted General Fang as he held back Advisory Lin's arm that was about to move away.
Counselor Lin smashed down on General Fang's hand violently, he gave a warning with a look that belittled the man, "Never touch my body!" he said with an annoyed face.
"If it wasn't for the Emperor treating him so special, I would have killed this old rascal!" general Fang growled in his mind.
"Quick say! I don't have time to wait for useless words!" said Counselor Lin.
"I will bring all the soldiers back to Xi's country and delay this war!" general Fang said.
Counselor Lin unhesitatingly showed his anger, he looked at General Fang with a cold gaze then said in a high tone, "If you are unable to win this war, then, from the beginning you should have given someone else a chance. Why should you fight with others when you are not able to? You useless!"
Hearing the insults and insults from Counselor Lin, General Fang felt greatly underestimated. Moreover, the man shouted in front of all the soldiers led by him, gone was his patience.
General Fang pulled out the sword he always carried, in the blink of an eye, blood was already pooling under his feet. The soldier who was there looked with increasingly open eyes as Adviser Lin's neck was almost separated from his body.
"If anyone were to spread the scene today, I would kill his entire family!" threaten General Fang so that all the soldiers there no one opens their mouths about Advisor Lin's death.
"Drap! The drap! The drape!"
The sound of horse footsteps rang out very clearly towards the camp, General Fang who had just heard that voice instantly felt panicked. Especially considering the condition of the soldiers who were already in a weak condition due to too much energy to lift the water, the more panic the heart beat of the man.
"Retreat! Get out of this place!" general Fang shouted with a burst of saliva coming out from between his lips as it opened wide.
Not yet had the soldiers reacted, the horses carrying the soldiers from the Han country had already arrived there. They immediately attacked without warning because it was their spirit that was too excited when they saw the chaos in the enemy camp.
General Fang tried to escape alone, he pulled a horse located beside the corpse of Counselor Lin. He nimbly jumped on the horse's back and then spurred it to run as fast as possible.
Ye Yuan who saw General Fang's escape immediately chased after from behind, he did not want the man to escape and manage to escape the ambush because their main goal was to kill General Fang for the enemy soldiers to surrender on their own.
Huo Feng who was worried about Ye Yuan ended up chasing after General Fang. He spread out his wide and long wings, with Huo Feng's maximum speed flying towards Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was about to chase General Fang, but he saw a soldier about to shoot an arrow at King Wei. Ye Yuan immediately turned around to head off the arrows that shot swiftly through the air.
"Swosh...!"
Huo Feng blocked Ye Yuan's body with his wings, the arrow pierced through into Huo Feng's wing bone which was now emitting a glowing blue-colored blood.
"Ka... Brother!!"
Unknowingly, Ye Yuan yelled out to Huo Feng with the designation "Sister."
Some unfamiliar images surfaced in Ye Yuan's mind, he saw an almost similar incident when Huo Feng tried to protect her with both wings.
King Wei saw the arrow that shot back quickly towards Ye Yuan, immediately he threw his sword towards the arrow.
The arrow split in two and fell to the ground. But King Wei's sword still floated in the air and finally landed right in the heart of the arrow shooter.
Seeing Ye Yuan's condition that seemed confused, with a loud voice King Wei snapped at the man who was his brother-in-law's status. "Reserve yourself! We're still on the battlefield!"
