Sieben Nächte mit Schnee

Kapitel 2

Lin Feng lay on the ground pretending to be dead, and in the process, he cursed the handsome man's ancestors for eighteen generations. "You think I'm weak and insignificant? Why don't you just let me go and fend for myself? Confining me? Damn it!"

But she was also slightly surprised. Who was Lei Ran? How could he really be unmoved by Lan Feng's beauty?

The handsome man before him possessed the air of an emperor and the talent of a great general, which was one thing, but Lei Ran seemed to be a man of deep cunning. He deliberately left Lan Feng here, using her as a bargaining chip to advance his own agenda. No wonder he didn't care about Lan Feng's life or death; if the people of that country killed Lan Feng, he could provoke a conflict. And if Lan Feng had died earlier, he could simply pin the blame on this handsome man, still achieving his goal! Even if Lan Feng was alive, he could send people to infiltrate and secretly control her. He was completely using this concubine as a tool to test the waters—what a ruthless man!

In this era, don't talk about absolute trust; every country has spies.

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. Everyone says that beautiful women are a source of trouble, but aren't pretty women just the same? In front of these people, they are merely bargaining chips, pawns. It's just that these pawns are a bit special.

Unfortunately, after all that planning, fate played a cruel joke on Lei Ran. The Lan Feng in question was not actually Lan Feng, but Lin Feng, who had come from the 21st century to this era.

At this moment, Lin Feng heard the thunderous roar of numerous soldiers: "Yes! My lord!" Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down. In any case, this handsome man wouldn't kill her for the time being; on the contrary, he would protect her until Lei Ran appeared. Unfortunately, once caught in this situation, escaping would be difficult.

Three days later, she finally opened her eyes in the magnificent carriage. The scenery of the mountains and fields outside the window was beautiful, and Lin Feng looked on with a carefree air. She had been feigning illness and lying in bed for three days, saying that she was weak. If she didn't get up now, she was afraid that the handsome man would become suspicious.

As soon as Lin Feng opened his eyes, the maids around him were stunned. When Lin Feng sat up, the fragrant silk curtain quietly floated down. The maid who pulled the curtain was startled and hurriedly said, "This servant deserves to die!" She also gave her a three-kneeling and nine-kowtow.

With a quick slew of his eyes, Lin Feng sneered, "You deserve to die. What is the punishment for offending this concubine?"

She wasn't completely unconscious for the past three days. Several female guards came to see her a few times, and the man in blue also came once, smiling as he explained the situation to her. Lin Feng, however, just looked at the scenery and ignored her completely.

The man in blue instructed that Lan Feng's daily life should be conducted according to the standards for a concubine, and that she could be punished at any time if she was neglected.

The little maid was truly frightened and trembled repeatedly, saying, "This servant was just thinking how beautiful you are. This servant knows she was wrong. Please, Your Highness, have mercy!"

Nodding, Lin Feng smiled warmly and said, "It's a trivial matter, no need to risk your life." The little palace maid was overjoyed and was about to thank him when she heard Lin Feng's cold voice say again, "However, what use are those troublesome eyes of yours?"

The little girl realized the mystery behind it and cried out in horror, "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

Lin Feng coldly snorted, "This female slave's eyes are too ugly for me to bear. Guards, gouge those eyes out right here! I want to see how she looks at me with those eyes!"

It turned out that although the girl was staring in disbelief, she was actually looking at him with contempt. Lin Feng disliked seeing that kind of look the most in his life, especially since there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

Seeing everyone looking at each other in fear and no one agreeing, Lin Feng sneered again: "Didn't the blue-robed envoy Yu Chengguang also say that my orders are like those of an imperial concubine? Are you all planning a collective rebellion, or what? If you don't dig now, I can personally summon Lord Yu in a moment, and you will all be punished the same way!"

"They'll all gouge out your eyes!" Now no one dared disobey. Because of Consort Feng's ruthless methods, not a single person dared to beg for her mercy. The little girl was so frightened that she dared not say a word, only kept crying. Lin Feng leisurely rested his hand on the headboard. This peerless beauty was indeed charming and alluring, but at this moment, who dared to look her in the eye?

After a shrill scream, a pair of bloodshot eyes appeared before Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked every bit the devil, a satisfied smile on his face as he used a small knife stained with crimson liquid to probe those blood-soaked eyes. The soldiers carrying the trays all closed their eyes, and the maids trembled, avoiding a second glance at Lin Feng, fearing they would be next. After a while, seemingly having seen enough, Lin Feng lazily waved his hand and said, "Go down and clean up that pool of blood in front of the carriage."

The little girl had already fainted from the pain. The executioner threw her into the grass and left her to fend for herself. The soldiers nearby dared not say anything. This Consort Feng of Tiancheng Kingdom was so ruthless; there was no guarantee that they wouldn't be her next target.

The guard tossed the chilling plate to a soldier, ordering him to deal with it. The soldier, upon seeing the seemingly lifelike eyes staring at him, nearly vomited. He hurriedly tossed the eyes from the plate to the maid, washed the plate, and went back. This was because Consort Feng wanted a clean plate and didn't want to bring bad luck upon the maid.

In the midst of the extreme gore, no one noticed that the short, curved knife used to gouge out the eyes had vanished without a trace...

Three Perilous Situations in the Main Text

Seven days have passed since Lan Feng, who replaced the deceased, traveled north with the Beichen Kingdom. Originally staying in Changpan, a border city of Tiancheng, they have now passed through several small countries such as Luofan, Shangjue, Mengdu, and Qiantang. As they approach the Beichen border, the atmosphere has become tense without them even realizing it.

Approaching Beichen means approaching Xilan. At the time when the two countries are at war, although the handsome man in red has elite troops under his command, they may not be able to withstand the onslaught of a large army.

Differences in numbers cannot be compensated for by quality.

Lin Feng knew that he had a chance, a golden opportunity. If Xi Lan attacked, she would have a high chance of escaping in the chaos.

Starting on the third day, Lin Feng used the matter of digging out eyes to intimidate several maids and cleverly extract some information she needed. Only then did she learn that this land was called Yin Sang. It turned out that two powerful forces rose up on the continent of Yin Sang, one was Tian Cheng and the other was Bei Chen.

Crown Prince Lei Ran of Tiancheng was fond of beautiful women, indulging in debauchery and ruining the legacy left by his ancestors. Crown Prince Beichen Tian of Beichen was resourceful, shrewd in military strategy, and had always been the most promising man in Yinsang to become the overlord. He was also the most handsome man in the world and the ideal husband in the hearts of countless young women. Lin Feng asked again and learned that it was that dangerously handsome man with an aura of dominance.

What the maid said might not be true; it's mostly hearsay. The biggest mistake is that Lei Ran isn't ruthless, but rather someone who's biding his time. As for Bei Chen Tian, Lin Feng's intuition tells him to stay away from him, far, far away!

However, it's not wrong to say that he is the most handsome man in the world; his face is perfect for fooling naive young girls.

Just as he was about to look around after thinking for a moment, a sudden commotion made him frown. Lin Feng asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"

The maids, terrified of her anger, hurriedly and cautiously said, "That was the only palace maid left in Tiancheng Kingdom. She's gone mad and lost her mind, which is why she offended Consort Feng..."

Lin Feng was secretly puzzled. Why leave a crazy woman behind? Lei Ran was so cunning, wouldn't he give others a handle to use against him? Could it be that he did it on purpose? He immediately ordered, "Bring that crazy woman to my carriage. She is, after all, a maid of our country. Is it wrong for me to take her?"

The maid dared not refuse and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

Ironically, Lan Feng's body belonged to a seventeen-year-old girl, the same age as Lin Feng when he debuted three years ago. Although their appearances differed greatly, they were both women of unparalleled beauty. However, in Lin Feng's era, she could conceal her true appearance very well, and almost no one had ever seen her face. But people in this time all knew of the existence of this stunningly beautiful Lan Feng.

The maid went down and didn't return for a while. Lin Feng frowned, knowing that the maid probably wouldn't come back. At some point, the surrounding soldiers and guards were also withdrawn.

Lin Feng suddenly had a very bad feeling; this situation was exactly the same as it had been a few days ago!

He sheathed the stolen knife on his wrist, walked to the carriage, and saw a maid dressed as a servant. He asked, "Where is the maid I just sent out?"

"Reporting to Consort Feng, we don't know where that sister has gone," the petite and lovely woman said. However, Lin Feng sensitively detected a trace of blood on her and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Bei Chentian? I want to see him."

The petite woman giggled and said, "Sister Feng must be so frightened that you can't even recognize my voice?" The girl looked up and had an extremely pretty face, which even resembled Lan Feng somewhat.

"Sister Feng, we are sisters, though we are not from the same mother, we are so alike that we have fallen in love with the same person. It is a pity that you are too weak, the Crown Prince favors me and not you!"

"Taking a fancy to her?" Lin Feng shook his head and sneered. Lei Ran probably didn't care about any of them. So this girl was his sister. So Lan Feng really had feelings for Lei Ran. But it was Lin Feng, not Lan Feng, standing here now!

"That Bei Chentian is probably in dire straits now. I led the Xi Lan soldiers to attack them, and he might be dead by now."

Sensing something was amiss, Lin Feng's eyes darted around, and he immediately cursed Bei Chentian in his heart for being an old fox. So that's how it is!

How could Bei Chentian not guess the strangeness of Lei Ran's placement of a maid? He just didn't expose her. Instead, he brought her to Xi Lan's vicinity. If she was killed, he could pin the blame on Xi Lan, killing two birds with one stone! Not only would he get rid of this troublesome maid, but he would also no longer have to hold back against Lei Ran.

However, this unexpectedly gave Lin Feng freedom. If she could get away, she wouldn't have to be that damned concubine anymore.
