The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World - Chapter 207
She and Nanshan looked at the carcass torn apart by the wolves, frowned, turned their heads, and said, "Nanshan, let's go."
Nanshan didn't reply until the big man had turned into a few bones. "Alright, senior brother, we can go now."
The two then followed a hidden path out of the valley, where they encountered some people examining the bodies.
Looking at the backs of the group of men in black, Ru Feng snorted coldly. "Hmph, don't they even think about how they and their junior brothers and sisters mastered lightness skills? They only learned them after their master threw them off a cliff. So this not-so-high cliff is nothing to them. Plus, Nan Shan's prior planning... So, hehe, that's why they're standing here perfectly fine now."
The two changed their appearances along the way; Ru Feng disguised himself as a sallow-faced young man, and Nan Shan became a burly giant. They traveled at breakneck speed, finally arriving at their destination—Plum Blossom Town—two days later.
Meihua Town is named so because there are large plum groves on its outskirts. It is unknown which wealthy family planted them, but every winter when they bloom, they fill the air with a subtle fragrance, creating a beautiful scene. Over time, the people in the town also started planting plum trees at home, so Meihua Town has now become a true Meihua Town.
"Alas, it's a pity it's not winter now," Ru Feng said regretfully, glancing at the small town. Plum Blossom Town has a population of nearly 30,000. Since ancient times, it has been a vital route between the Zi Luo Kingdom and the Shinan Kingdom, attracting many merchants. Initially, it was just a post station where people stayed to do business, gradually developing into a small town. This drew even more people, and the town's size expanded. The Zi Luo Kingdom's court then sent officials to manage it. However, management proved ineffective. Due to its remoteness and limited military presence, the town was surrounded by flat plains and lacked city walls, making it a frequent target for bandits, such as the Black Stone Mountain gang.
"We're not here to enjoy the scenery," Nanshan muttered, secretly getting anxious as he looked at Rufeng, who seemed so relaxed.
Ru Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "It's just about that one thing, why are you so nervous? We've already made all the arrangements."
"Anyway, all I know is that if we don't send a message soon, someone will go crazy with worry," Nanshan said in a low voice.
"Could it be that they still don't trust my skills?" Ru Feng murmured, her eyes scanning the goods lining the street. A dazzling array of items: porcelain, silk, textiles, tea, sugar, calligraphy and paintings, coral, agate, pearls, pepper, spices, glass, ginseng, medicinal herbs, wine, and more. Some appeared to be from the Violet Kingdom, while others were specialties of the Sandalwood Kingdom. It seemed this town was quite prosperous, provided, of course, that no bandits bothered it.
Nanshan glanced at Rufeng, sighed helplessly, and said, "Senior brother, let's find a place to rest quickly. We need to get things done and make the most of our time."
Ru Feng glanced at the sky and agreed with Nan Shan's opinion.
That evening, as the moon set, Yu Xuan, stationed at the garrison in northern Xinjiang, received a note containing only a poem in small regular script: "It can make the leaves fall in autumn, and make the flowers bloom in spring. It can create a thousand-foot wave across the river, and make ten thousand bamboo stalks bend."
Yu Xuan smiled wryly. This guy, even at this point, still recites a poem for her. Doesn't he know how worried she is about him?
"How is the situation?" Han Shan asked anxiously.
“Very good, let’s proceed according to plan.” Yu Xuan smiled confidently, as if the man who was on the verge of madness two days ago was not him.
In just three days, the Black Stone Mountain bandits, who had been entrenched there for a long time, were suddenly and successfully wiped out. The biggest contributor to this victory was none other than Yu Chi Ru Feng, who was rumored to have died!
When the news reached the capital, it shocked everyone, both inside and outside the court!
Chapter 157 Imprisonment
Ru Feng coughed up blood. After enduring two nights of hardship with Nan Shan, crossing the desert to reach the bandits' lair, she poisoned their water tank, signaled for the thousand old, weak, and disabled soldiers outside to rush in, then wiped out the bandits one by one. Finally, "naturally" and "unexpectedly," she found a letter of collusion between the prince and the bandits...
Ru Feng thought that the world was finally at peace, and she could return to the capital to be with Mu Wenchen forever. After all, she had just received a letter from Mu Wenchen, in which he eagerly expressed his determination to return as soon as possible, and she missed him too.
But why? Why was I caught by Yun Tianze?
Ru Feng let out a frustrated roar: "Ah—"
In the extravagantly luxurious bedroom, Yun Tianze smiled ambiguously and said, "Little Fengfeng, even if you're so happy to see me, you don't need to be so excited."
Ru Feng coughed up blood and said bitterly, "Why am I here?" Wasn't he sleeping soundly in the inn in Plum Blossom Town? How did he wake up and find himself here with Yun Tianze?
"This is my palace, my own personal paradise," Yun Tianze chuckled, seemingly in a very good mood.
Ru Feng stroked his chin and said, "Is this the Land of Spring Ivy?" He then looked out the window at the lush green spring ivy.
Yun Tianze nodded with pleasure and said, "Even after sleeping for so long, Ru Feng's head is still clear."
Ru Feng sighed and said, "Why did you bring me here? To catch up? Didn't we already do that last time?"
"I want you to be my queen." After a long while, just when Ru Feng thought Yun Tianze didn't want to speak, he finally spoke, looking at Ru Feng seriously.
"What if I don't want to?" Ru Feng looked at him seriously.
"This behavior was tacitly approved by someone, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you here so easily." Yun Tianze smiled, like a harmless rabbit, but the smile on his lips was not what it seemed.
"Is it... the emperor?" Ru Feng suddenly uttered the word, "What benefits did you give him?"
Yun Tianze didn't answer, but leaned closer to Rufeng and said, "Rufeng, no matter what, my feelings for you are genuine. I know you want your husband to have only you as his wife, and I can do that too." He hugged Rufeng tightly.
As Ru Feng looked at the man who was forcibly pressing his head against his chest, he could only close his eyes helplessly and sigh heavily.
"Are you a virgin?" After a long while, Ru Feng finally asked.
Sensing Yun Tianze stiffen, Ru Feng immediately interjected, "You do not meet this condition."
"I'll send someone to seduce that Mu Wenchen right now!" he said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph!" Ru Feng snorted twice. "That won't be necessary!"
Yun Tianze quickly smiled and said, "Ru Feng, although I am not her, I will only be with you from now on. As long as we get married, you will be my empress. Don't worry, no one in the court will have any objections. I will create a fake identity for you." Yun Tianze smiled as he thought about the future.
After a long pause, Ru Feng gently pushed away his chest and whispered, "Even if I'm not a virgin now? Even if I killed so many of your soldiers?"
Yun Tianze suddenly tightened his grip on Ru Feng's arm, his body stiffened, and he lifted Ru Feng's chin, frowning as he asked, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you and Mu Wenchen...?" He didn't mention Ru Feng's last sentence.
Ru Feng readily admitted, "That's right." Her expression was faint, as if she were talking about something unrelated, but a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
Yun Tianze's face immediately darkened. He stared at Ru Feng for a long time, scrutinizing him carefully, and finally said, "I'll go kill him!" With that, he released Ru Feng, slammed the door, and left.
Watching his departing figure, Ru Feng propped her head up, closed her eyes, and sighed. She was so tired. What kind of drug was this? How could it have knocked her out? And why did she feel so weak?
It seems this is a big problem. Ru Feng looked at the somewhat chilly sunlight outside the window and slowly lowered his head.
Ru Feng scratched his head, still unable to figure out how they had managed to bring him from the Northern Frontier to the Spring Vine Kingdom without him noticing, and he had absolutely no recollection of it!
"The world changes so fast!" Ru Feng sighed, shaking his still groggy head. He tentatively stepped out of the house and found that as soon as he stepped out of the garden gate, someone politely invited him back.
