The sound of the galloping horses was approaching. On the top of the city gate, the troops didn’t shoot their arrows and slowly put their bows down while looking at the silhouettes who were arriving.
“Ren Qing Kuang.” shouted Lin Feng. He then jumped off the horse and glanced at the troops.
“Everybody, don’t attack.” said Lin Feng. He obviously understood that if they attacked, there would be no way back. If they attacked the Imperial City, they would be considered as rebels and would inevitably be executed.
Those who worked behind the curtains didn’t care about the lives of all these soldiers, all they cared about were their own personal interests.
“Lin Feng, quickly! Liu Cang Lan doesn’t have much time left!” said Ren Qing Kuang looking anxious. Lin Feng slightly nodded. He had precisely hurried because of that reason. He had been galloping all night rushing over to the Imperial City. He knew that he couldn’t afford to be slow.
Lin Feng looked at the people on the top of the city wall and shouted: “Lin Feng is returning to the Imperial City, open the gate.”
Lin Feng knew how Xue Yue wanted to dispose of him. On the one hand, they wanted to kill him, but on the other hand, they needed him to die at the border without witnesses. At that moment, at the very periphery of the Imperial City, the whole crowd was watching the scene unfold. If they killed him, they would be forced to show their real intentions.
As expected, when the troops heard Lin Feng’s name, they were all startled. They slowly lowered their bows which made Meng Chong furious. An ice-cold expression appeared on his face. He was fixedly staring at Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng…” whispered Meng Chong. He then said with a cold tone: “Lin Feng was kidnapped by Mo Yue, if he was here today, it is probably because he has become a rebel and is now working with them. He cannot enter the Imperial City. Besides, there are these rebels as well, surprisingly they dare to surround the Imperial City, getting ready to attack us with their arrows. We must kill them, get ready to attack!”
“Huh?” Lin Feng frowned. Attack? Rebels?
How shameless! Lin Feng wasn’t the only one who was surprised, the troops on the top of the city gate were also surprised, including Meng Gu Feng, but orders had to be obeyed, thus the troops raised their bows again, getting ready to fire.
“Would you dare?” At that moment, Duan Xin Ye was also beside Lin Feng on a horse. The crowd was astonished.
It was the princess, Her Highness!
Meng Chong was also astonished, his lips were shaking.
Meng Chong used to hope he could marry the princess someday but then Lin Feng crippled his cultivation. He had become a piece of trash and would never be able to marry Duan Xin Ye.
Besides, he understood why the troops outside the city gate wanted to fight, when he thought about that, a hideous expression appeared on his face.
“Fire!” shouted Meng Chong while waving his hand. He looked extremely cruel.
When Meng Chong finished talking, Meng Gu Feng, who was behind Meng Chong, went pale.
“Don’t shoot!” shouted Meng Gu Feng furiously. Even though he wanted to kill Princess Duan Xin Ye and Lin Feng, at that moment, they had already returned safely to the Imperial City, they couldn’t brazenly kill them anymore. That would cause a great deal of trouble.
If Meng Chong killed Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye, that would have made some people of the Imperial Family happy and some others unhappy.
Lin Feng wouldn’t be too much of an issue, but the Emperor’s daughter? Who would bear the responsibility for killing her?
These thoughts were logical and were common sense but Meng Chong’s heart was filled with hatred and jealousy which is why he wanted to attack.
“Pshhh…. pshhhh….”
