Feng Yu Jiu Tian

On a bed filled with silk pillows inside alarge carriage sat He Di, who looked at the scenic view that passed by with apleasant mood. In a free and unrestrained manner, the carriage was headed forTong’s capital, Tong Ze.

His exceptionally good mood was not aproduct of the cup of fine liquor in his hand or the picturesque scenery madeup of Tong’s mountains and river.

Rather, the sole reason for his mood wasbecause of Duke Ming’s careless decision to sign the peace treaty.

Numerous twists and turns of fate had leftthe prideful smile on that quiet and cold face engraved in his mind.

The memorymade him feel feverish and had already hooked him in completely.

But finally, thanks to politics, that manhad been sent straight into the palms of his hands.

Compared to blackmail, this method ofobtaining him made He Di more excited.

During the past few days, the number oftimes he laughed was more than he had the whole year combined.

At this moment, nothing could be moreinteresting than the matters with that bastard called Zi Yan. From the ship, hehad arrogantly jumped without flinching despite the countless number of arrowsthat were shot at him. Never once did he turn his head while in danger. But itwould not be long before he would be forced to comply with the treaty andfollow him back to his territory.

“He he…” The corner of He Di’s mouthturned into a sinister smile.

His hands itched to get a hold of thatman.

There was not the slightest worry that XiLei would break the treaty. He Di never worried about his calculated moves.

Xi Lei’s Rong Tian was a smart man,therefore breaking the treaty would be an impossible move for him. The profitthat would come from the luminous sand as well as the opportunity to obtainhigh quality weapons was too good to let go.

What He Di offered was bait that no man orkingdom could refuse.

The only thing Dan Lin had to do waschoose which kingdom had the highest potential as their ally.

“Kong Liu.”

There was a difference between normal opencarriages and the one He Di was riding. A golden pillar stood upright assupport and there was roof that provided shade. It was convenient for He Di tomove around and the rays of the sun were blocked, but he was still capable ofseeing the scenery that passed by as they moved.

He turned around and languidly called hissubordinate who was riding a horse by his side. “How much farther is it fromhere to Tong Ze?”

“Your Highness, it not much farther. Inroughly about 3 to 4 li, we will reach the outskirts of Tong Ze.” Kong Liuspoke in his usual deep voice, keenly sensing his master’s concealed anxiety,he smiled respectfully.

“Subordinate has already sent someone to contact Tong’sPrince Qing Li asking him to arrange a temporary residence. The emissary whowill receive us is most likely already waiting outside the city gates.”

“Qing Li? Heh, that useless bastard…” HeDi laughed loudly.

On their journey, they had obtained aninsignificant harvest.

Late at night on a certain day, his guardsmanaged to capture a masked woman who tried to ride past their procession.

He moved his hand in a simple manner,commanding them. This time, the men He Di brought half consisted of Dan Lin’simperial guards and the other half, Dan Lin’s pirates. Disregarding the guards,each and every one of the cold-blooded pirates were constantly wary of theirsurroundings.

An unmarried woman journeying alone with aveiled face and making an evasive maneuver was clearly anervous one. How could they possibly not suspect that she was merely pretendingto bypass them when in reality she might be a spy checking on them?

Unexpectedly, after searching her in frontof He Di, they discovered an interesting sealed letter.

The letter, as it turned out, was from thevery man who delivered Zi Yan into his hands, Duke Ming of Xi Lei. Not onlythat, the content of the letter was surprisingly appealing.
