PaiPai-Romane

Kapitel 109

Upon hearing this, Feng Feisheng trembled all over.

Although she didn't know what the other person was up to, she also knew that she wouldn't show such weakness without a reason. Oh, looking up at the sky.

Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital Chapter 129: Putting the Big Picture First

Feng Feisheng was startled and suspicious, but in an instant he heard a group of footsteps coming from outside.

Someone seemed to hear Tang Leyan crying, and the footsteps quickened their pace instantly.

The moment Feng Feisheng frowned, a voice whispered, "Le Yan!"

Someone drew back the curtain, and a figure walked in through the doorway.

When Feng Feisheng turned his head and saw who it was, he couldn't help but glare at Tang Leyan with hatred.

The latter was slumped on the ninja's shoulder, looking extremely weak. Just a moment ago he had been incredibly strong, looking like he was about to get up and beat someone up. What was wrong with him now? It made the ninja extremely angry.

"Why is the young master here?" The newcomer entered and waved his hand slightly, stopping the entourage following him outside the door.

Chu Zhen, the Grand Secretary of the Military Affairs Department.

Even so, the room still felt somewhat crowded.

Feng Feisheng led five or six people, plus Chu Zhen.

There was a ninja by Tang Leyan's bedside. She was lying on top of him, looking at the newcomer with a mixture of joy and a hint of grievance.

After asking a question, Chu Zhen walked straight to the bedside without waiting for an answer and reached out to support her shoulder.

Le Yan excitedly leaned over and put her arm around his waist: "Uncle Zhen."

The ninja, who was being used as a prop, lowered his body and knelt down before Chu Zhen by the bed.

Feng Feisheng then coughed and said, "I didn't know that you, sir, would come here. Feng Feisheng..."

"Does the young master seem to have some unpleasantness with Leyan?" Chu Zhen glanced at Feng Feisheng, his gaze sweeping from Tang Leyan.

His tone was indifferent, too indifferent, showing no anger whatsoever, yet his anger was deep in his bones.

Feng Feisheng could naturally sense it.

The situation is not very optimistic.

To Feng Feisheng, it was like two children arguing. They were evenly matched and about to fight when suddenly, the other side's parents arrived, and they were extremely protective and not to be trifled with. So, the other side, whose parents didn't come, was obviously left alone.

We must consider the overall situation.

Feng Feisheng felt a pang of sorrow in his heart, but outwardly said, "No. Your Excellency must have misunderstood."

Chu Zhen glared at him before turning back: "Le Yan. How are you?"

Tang Leyan looked at Feng Feisheng's dark and aggrieved expression, which was also a bit embarrassing. She was secretly laughing so hard she almost rolled on the ground. However, she was also a smart person and knew when to stop. So she just blinked and said, "Well, it's okay, Uncle Zhen. It's just a little... misunderstanding."

These were words spoken tactfully, though a hint of vulnerability, a result of being bullied, still lingered in her expression.

Chu Zhen could tell that she was not very willing to answer, probably because she was thinking about the relationship between Daning and Shundu, so she was holding back her anger to "consider the overall situation".

Thinking of this, Chu Zhen felt even more admiration and affection for Le Yan. Turning to look at Feng Feisheng, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger: "Although the young master is of noble status, he bears the responsibility of being an envoy for a peace treaty. He should understand what he should and shouldn't do. If something really goes wrong, even I, the Minister, cannot protect him. I hope the young master will take care of himself. If there is nothing else, the young master should leave."

Feng Feisheng's delicate face flushed red and then turned pale after hearing what he said. Finally, a guard tugged at his sleeve, and he whispered, "Feng Feisheng, remember what the Grand Secretary said."

Tang Leyan peeked out from Chu Zhen's arms, stuck out her tongue at him, and made an extremely wicked face.

Feng Feisheng saw this and almost wanted to say to Chu Zhen: Look at this quickly!

Unfortunately, they were clearly biased towards their own people; look at her smug expression… I refuse to believe there won't be another chance! Feng Feisheng sighed inwardly. He angrily led his people away.

"Uncle Zhen, what brings you here?" Tang Leyan, wishing she could roll around on the bed a few times to express her joy, hugged Chu Zhen and looked up to ask.

"I heard from Young Master Beitang that you weren't feeling well, so I came to check on you."

"Did he say anything about me... uh... that I'm not feeling well?" she asked guiltily, staring at him.

"No," Chu Zhen replied, noticing her unease.

"Oh." She finally relaxed.

"Leyan. Why is Prince Danning here? Do you and him... have some kind of grudge?"

"Who knew? This kid looks weird, but don't worry, Uncle Zhen. I'll naturally avoid him more in the future, so don't worry." He grabbed his collar and rubbed it against his chest.

"Yes, Uncle Zhen knows you're the most sensible person." Chu Zhen reached out and patted her back gently twice, then said, "Knowing you're alright, I'm relieved."

"Did Uncle Zhen come because he was worried about me?" she asked.

"nature."

"Uncle Zhen is so good to me."

"Oh."

She stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly. He stood by the bed and felt that the person in his arms was soft and warm.

She had been asleep, and when she looked up at him, her cheeks were still flushed, and her eyes were slightly glazed with sleep. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and he slowly reached out to stroke it. The silky smoothness on his fingertips brought an indescribable peace to his heart.

"Hmm... Leyan, you rest well, I'm going back." After a long while, Chu Zhen was startled awake by the unintentional reminder from the servant waiting outside. She withdrew her hand and pressed it on Leyan's shoulder.

"So fast? You just arrived." Tang Leyan looked up, a hint of reluctance on her face, and her lips twitched, looking a little aggrieved.

"Hmm... I'll come see you again after tonight," he said.

"What is Uncle Zhen going to do tonight?" she asked.

"Yes, I have some things to take care of. After tonight, I'll have more free time."

"Do you need my help?" she asked.

"Hehe, no need, Gexing will take care of everything."

"It's him again..." she said with a disdainful look, even letting out a snort.

"Ha..." Chu Zhen laughed, "Alright, you don't need to be like that. Ge Xing is very good, you'll see in the future."

"I know now," she muttered to herself.

"What?"

“Nothing, I mean… he really is—very good,” she drawled, speaking in a teasing tone.

Chu Zhen misunderstood her meaning and chuckled softly, "It's good that you know."

He reached out and patted her head: "Sweetie, get some rest. I have to go now."

"Uncle Zhen," she called out reluctantly.

"Fire and Cold are the ones I left behind to protect you. They've been with me for years and are the most reliable people I can find."

Chu Zhen turned his head and looked at the ninja on the ground.

“It’s cold,” Chu Zhen said.

The ninja nodded, and his figure flashed through the air and disappeared.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhen." She gave him one last hug, using all her strength.

It seemed she was expressing her boundless joy and gratitude in this way.

"It's only right that I take care of you, but in the future..." Chu Zhen hesitated, then simply smiled.

Le Yan didn't notice his words; she only felt that she had to hold onto this person tightly, not leaving him for even a second. The thought of him leaving at any moment made her want to stick to him, to go wherever he went.

Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital Chapter 130 Bloodstained Night

When the first firework burst open, the sky above Shundu was illuminated by its bright brilliance.

Everyone speculated that it was a birthday celebration for an adult in a family, or a happy occasion for a wealthy merchant, which was why they were willing to spend so much money.

It wasn't until the third firework exploded that a sense of something unusual began to linger in the air.

It smells of fireworks, or the smell of blood.

They roamed freely.

Even Chu Gexun, who was outside the city gate and had not yet entered, could sense it.

As blood relatives are indeed connected, Chu Ge looked up at the dazzling fireworks in the sky, his heart pounding.

Something unusual is about to happen in Shundu tonight.

As the first firework lit up the sky, the Nine Gates Commander's troops sealed off the Nine Gates and blocked the street corners, while another group had already surrounded the Left Prime Minister's residence.

As the gates swung open, the soldiers, as fierce as wolves and tigers, swarmed in.

The once tranquil Prime Minister's residence was suddenly thrown into chaos, with cries and screams emanating from within.

A masked man in black, who appeared out of nowhere, blocked the soldiers of the Nine Gates Admiral, and the two sides immediately engaged in battle.

Those men in black were extremely brave and fierce, and the Nine Gates' forces were unable to resist them.

Before long, the men in black had escorted the people from the Prime Minister's residence out of the gate.

But they happened to run into Chu Gexing, the Nine Gates Commander, who was arriving with his factory supervisors and officials from the Ministry of Justice.

The two faced each other, and the official from the Ministry of Justice couldn't contain himself any longer. He stepped forward and exclaimed, "Prime Minister Cui, I defended you with all my might before His Excellency, but I never expected you to be such a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

The Left Prime Minister, standing among the masked men, seemed to want to speak. However, he only smiled and remained silent.

The factory supervisor said calmly, "What's the point of talking now? Let's make our move." He turned to look at Chu Gexing, the Nine Gates Admiral.

The Nine Gates Admiral raised his hand and waved his blue sleeve.

At a command, the archers who were already prepared stepped forward, and arrows rained down.

Despite their exceptional skills, the masked man was unable to withstand the onslaught. In an instant, the Left Prime Minister's wife and children perished in the rain of arrows.

The Left Prime Minister's face was ashen as he listened to the pitiful cries of his wife and daughter before their deaths. Yet he remained silent.

“Truly stubborn and incorrigible!” said the factory supervisor.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice witnessed this horrific scene but were at a loss for words.

Most of the men in black were killed by the rain of arrows. Chu Gexing waved his hand, and the archers retreated. With another gesture, another wave of soldiers rushed up, intending to capture them alive.

Unexpectedly, the bodies of the fallen men in black suddenly exploded, causing many casualties among the Nine Gates soldiers.

Chu Gexing frowned and ordered the attack to stop.

The two sides were deadlocked for a time.
