Lin Feng looked cold and indifferent. A murderous light flashed in his eyes.
If Duan Tian Lang was really at the origin of this, this was a good opportunity. Why wasn’t he killing him on the spot though and provided him with time to think about giving him an answer?
This short time was enough for the news to spread to Liu Cang Lan and for him to quickly rush to the location.
Lin Feng didn’t understand Duan Tian Lang’s intentions.
Lin Feng, however, could not determine whether the princess was still alive or not.
He wanted to go and look for Duan Xin Ye instead of wasting time here, after all, she had been kidnapped and he was responsible for protecting her.
However, considering the number of arrows aiming at him and the incredibly strong soldiers surrounding him, rushing to save her would have been idiotic. His life was currently in danger.
He slowly turned around and saw that the oil lamp would soon burn out.
The ground started to shake. An incredible number of horses rushed towards the campsite. The tent was completely surrounded by soldiers in an instant.
“Duan Tian Lang, do you think that you can act as you please here?”
At that moment, a voice spread through the atmosphere. Liu Cang Lan appeared in the air with his bow on his back. Behind him, the officer of the Chi Xie troops, Jiu Chi Xie, was closely following. He immediately moved next to Lin Feng and ignored everybody else.
“Liu Cang Lan, Lin Feng plotted against the princess and did not protect her. She is nowhere to be found. Why do you choose to side with him? What evil intentions are you harbouring?” said Duan Tian Lang
“I don’t care who kidnapped the princess but since such a short time has passed, looking for the princess within the campsite would be the best solution rather than wasting time here. She would not have been able to leave the camp. However, you have brought all of your soldiers here and created a chaotic environment and spread rumours. How does that affect the morale for our army? You wouldn’t be doing this on purpose to cause harm to Lin Feng?”
Liu Cang Lan’s words surprised Lin Feng. As expected, Liu Cang Lan was very experienced and proved he clearly understood the most important aspects of the situation.
Duan Tian Lang was an aristocrat and the chief commander. How could he not understand what was most important in this situation? In such a situation, the most important thing was to immediately search for the missing princess and it was not use his army to trap Lin Feng in an attempt to punish him. The fact that he had given Lin Feng some time seemed to have something to do with Liu Cang Lan.
“I obviously understand that, but I have given him the time it takes for an oil lamp to burn yet Lin Feng still cannot tell us where the princess is. Liu Cang Lan, you are a general, punishing Lin Feng is your duty but instead, you are siding with a criminal. If you don’t move out of the way then do not blame me for not showing mercy.” said Duan Tian Lang in a calm and respectful tone as if he held friendly feelings towards Liu Cang Lan and did not want to fight.
