Chapter 47
(WanKe/XingXing is addressed as SHE)
Third Person P. O. V
She falls forward on his chest still standing in his hold. Holding her head Feng Lei bends a little low and lifts her legs away from the floor carrying her bridal style, his eyes fixed on her face his every single part of the body not willing to move away from her. Walking slowly towards the room he places her on the bed, taking the folded bedsheet he spreads it on her body as the weather is getting cold.
“Everything will be over,” he says lifting his left leg he places his knee on the wooden edge and places his hands on the either side of her head leaning over his arms he moves a little closer looking down at WanKe.
“I want to give you a better place,” he speaks in a low voice “When everything is over,” lowering his body he leaves a decent distance between them “Let’s get marriage,” the corners of his lips twitches up a little to a slight smile, moving his down he places a kiss on her forehead.
“Is everything fine?,” Changi asks the very next minute when Feng Lei opens the door, he nods in reply and strolls out.
“I’ll go back,” turning around he faces HenYu and ChengLi “Don’t let WanKe anywhere until I come back,” he orders.
“I’m coming too,” ChengLi steps forward beside Feng Lei “You should not go alone, it’s not safe.”
“Let’s do this together,” HenYu suggests “Count me in,” turning to his left he faces Xiang “Take care of WanKe.”
“Please come back safe,” her voice comes out low in despair, facing ChengLi who is smiling at her she embraces him abruptly “Come back soon,” she whispers on his chest.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen,” Feng Lei assures.
“You all can go back,” Feng Lei lets out a heavy sigh not feeling easy of their presence being afraid that something would happen to them even though he got something on his sleeves. The two men by his side remains quiet indicating the answer as yes, their eyes never left the large gate of the mansion, inhaling a deep breath they cover their faces with the veil and marches forward.
The large gate opens welcoming them as every step they keep forward is like getting closer to the grave, the surrounding in the yard stays calm as no soldiers are to be seen in the long path to the main hall. They stop in their tracks and passes a glance at each other when the sound of the footsteps get into their ears.
“Stay alert,” Feng Lei utters softly looking around cautiously.
“You little brat,” Lord Wen roars as he walks out the main hall standing on the stadium of the staircase, he glares at the three men in front of him where a piece of material is tied around below their eyes.
Gesturing HenYu and ChengLi to stay behind Feng Lei steps forward his eyes never showing any sense of regret of coming up here or any fear of what will happen the next second.
“You cannot get away from me,” Lord Wen growls a sly smile sweeps across his lips “You just fell into the trap,” he sneers.
The right corner of Feng lei’s lips turns to a smirk under his veil in the thought of clueless Lord Wen who doesn’t even know to find out his child who has been with him for a long time.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“I’ll end what I began,” Lord Wen raises a hand up, Feng Lei steps back immediately, HenYu and ChengLi jumps behind him when the sound of multiple footsteps gets into their ears.
Forming to a triangle they face the three angles where many soldiers march forward “Keep yourself safe,” Feng Lei blurts his eyes sliding from left to right examining his opponents.
The soldiers who are in the count of more than ten surrounds them in a circle standing straight they lift their spears and draws their swords out waiting in the position of attacking.
“The heir of Feng family and the only young leader,” Lord Wen’s words strikes in Feng Lei’s mind , his body stiffens in astonishment his eyes widens in horror the sentence repeats in his mind.
“Leader?,” HenYu blurts turning around to face him not knowing who the word ‘leader’ is referred to.
“You are well hidden,” Lord Wen lets out a laugh “I’ve been waiting for you,” he snarls his eyes looking straight at Feng Lei even that there is a long distance between them.
Stepping forward Feng Lei removes the veil from his face as he is exposed and did not expect Lord Wen would know about something in detail which has not been known by many people. After the death of his father Feng Lei took over the kingdom as the youngest leader of all states, yet he enrolled in the imperial school to be a scholar of all state and to move on like other princes maintaining a low profile.
Feng Lei is taken back by the current situation not understanding a point, he is curious to know how Lord Wen learned about him and he surely knows that he is a plot for the higher state leaders.
“I’ve underestimated you,” Feng Lei states his mind still trying to register the fact that his plan is a vain.
“Do you think I need these troops to capture a little girl,” Lord Wen chuckles “I will have her in my own hands,” he grunts under his breath angrily his red eyes goes small under his wrinkled eyebrows.
“These troops? You will need the world to conquer a woman,” Feng Lei smirks looking at Lord Wen’s hand form to a ball his countenance showing he is in rage “And you know how strong your step brother’s daughter is,” he sneers as Lord Wen knows who he is.
“Kill them,” Lord Wen shouts “I’ll take over your kingdom,” he laughs when his soldiers step forward making them alert.
In a split second the three of them spins forward snatching the swords from the soldiers, holding the two swords they stay in position ready to attack. They stuck together waiting for them to take the first step.
“Why did you grab one weapon?,” ChengLi whisper yells at HenYu who is the only one with one sword.
“I couldn’t grab another one quickly,” HenYu answers looking around at the soldiers nervously who looks well prepared to bury someone where as they are just facing the music.
“Take this,” Feng Lei moves his left hand behind him, taking the sword HenYu steps forward along with ChengLi.
Bouncing on the balls of his feet Feng Lei snatches a sword easily, he readjusts his grip on the longswords, holding it over his shoulders he waits for his opponent to make a move the very next minute the environment fills up with the sound of swords whistling through the air. The soldiers takes action together making the three of them to control three different groups where as Feng Lei is handling more in number as the reward for taking his life will be to replace his position of minister in both the states as Lord Wen can take over his kingdom if he is gone because only his mother is left as a member of the Feng family.
Moving backwards he slashes on the soldiers making their blood splash in the air some droplets landing on his face. Moving forward his sword intercepts the spears allowing him to trap their blades on his hilt to execute a stab with the other sword of his. Their weapons untangle when each one of them falls on the ground.
