"You can like me!" Lin Feng said calmly, his voice softening. "However, my feelings for you are not that kind of. I think a man like you wouldn't force me, and besides, no one in this world can force me!"

Her voice was filled with strong confidence, which made Bei Chenxiang look at her with even more surprise and infatuation. He chuckled and said, "You are really special... Dark, meeting you, I'm afraid I'm doomed for life."

"Hmph, Prince Xiang, you're not the only one who's fallen, so don't worry about it." The latter continued to shamelessly display his invincible thick-skinned skills, laughing loudly. Then Lin Feng frowned and smashed the wine jars in his hands one by one: "Don't drink like this again! Have you forgotten what you came to Chechi for?"

"Uh..." Bei Chenxiang's handsome face turned red from her scolding. He lowered his head and chuckled, "I'm sorry, I... I'll only drink with you from now on, okay?"

"Alright!" Lin Feng smiled, his smile as radiant as a hundred flowers in full bloom: "When we get back to Beichen, I'll get drunk with you for three days straight!"

This man is simple, honest, and has no ulterior motives. Even a scoundrel like Lin Feng has unknowingly developed a liking for him. Making friends with him is not a bad thing.

"By the way, An, did you call me here for something?" Bei Chenxiang had sobered up quite a bit and reluctantly let go of Lin Feng, but his gaze was still as intense as ever. Just as Lin Feng had said, whether she liked him or not was her business, but he was truly infatuated with this mysterious and powerful woman.

"I've received some information that someone is plotting against me," Lin Feng said with a slight smile.

"What! Who dares to be so bold? I'll go and kill him!" Bei Chenxiang's face immediately turned murderous. How dare someone harm the woman he loved right under his nose? Is he courting death or something?

"Killing him is a given, but this rabbit is really cunning and won't be easy to catch." A faint glint of malice flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. Those who knew her well would know that this guy was definitely up to some wicked idea again.

"Then, what do we do?" Along the way, Bei Chenxiang's trust in her had become almost blind. If Lin Feng said the sun would rise in the west tomorrow, he probably wouldn't even refute it.

"Have you ever heard of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?" Lin Feng's beautiful face held a sinister smile.

The wind rises in the main text.

After a dozen or so quiet days, the situation gradually became tense.

The kingdoms of Fengyu and Chechi gradually became restless and volatile amidst the rising rumors. Their rulers were powerless to control the various conflicts around them, and for some unknown reason, several towns were attacked and plundered one after another. The borders of the two countries were in turmoil, and people were filled with fear. Refugees were everywhere, and the landscape was littered with white bones.

The rumors that spread quickly reached Chechi, the capital. Even the bored Lin Feng and Bei Chenxiang heard about the border war. The rumors said that warlords in various places had suddenly risen up and were recruiting soldiers to attack Fengyu and Chechi, causing both countries to suffer.

However, everyone knew that these "warlords" seemed a bit strange. Although Fengyu Kingdom and Chechi Kingdom were not far apart, there was still some distance between them, and there seemed to be some other small forces in between. How come those small forces were completely unaffected, while these two countries were the ones that suffered?

After some thought, the elders of Fengyu Kingdom, enraged, turned their attention to Chechi Kingdom, which had no choice but to confront them head-on.

Everything went very smoothly, extremely smoothly, so smoothly that Lin Feng found it somewhat eerie.

"Chechi's Dong Qianye doesn't seem like a fool. Even if he can't withstand the pressure of public opinion, he would never compromise so easily. There's nothing wrong with his head. The five elders of Chechi might not be unable to see through such a simple provocation. Why would they send out such a magnificent army?" Lin Feng, who was casually strolling among the bamboo forest, frowned, a sharp glint occasionally flashing in his beautiful eyes, as he rested his chin on his hand in deep thought.

"Perhaps it's because your scheme was too brilliant?" Bei Chenxiang, who had been staring intently at her, smiled slightly. Ever since he discovered that Lin Feng was a woman, he had been sticking to her side almost every day. Lin Feng was at her wit's end with this clingy guy and had sighed several times that when men became shameless, they were even more terrifying than women.

However, Bei Chenxiang would at most be captivated by her, but he would never do anything improper.

This guy was a true gentleman. After thinking for a long time, Lin Feng could only shrug and let him be. Sigh, she didn't blame him; after all, she was too beautiful and charming. Lin Feng pondered this with a touch of wishful thinking. (Author's lament: What a narcissist!)

"I feel like something's really wrong with all of this. It's like punching a ball into cotton. I can't exert any force, I don't have enough reaction time, and we can't implement our countermeasures. This passive situation makes me feel like I've fallen into someone's trap," Lin Feng sighed, looking quite troubled.

“An, sometimes things aren’t as complicated as you think. My brother once told me that in matters between nations, national strength plays a crucial role, and they can’t be solved with mere cleverness. In the face of absolute power, any scheme is nothing but a mirage.” Bei Chenxiang’s magnetic voice spoke slowly. Although he enjoyed watching Lin Feng display her talents, seeing her troubled expression now, he felt a pang of heartache for her.

He couldn't help but curse his revered brother, Bei Chen Tian, in his heart. "That idiot brother of mine! No matter how smart or capable An is, she's still a woman! How could he drag her into such a dangerous situation!" He vowed to make him drink properly when they got back, otherwise he wouldn't be able to swallow his anger!

Upon hearing his words, Lin Feng's eyes instantly darkened, and for some reason, he suddenly missed Bei Chentian's absolutely domineering methods.

That man was just like that; with absolute force and absolute control, he seized control of the entire country, murdering his father and brothers to usurp the throne without the slightest hesitation. Just as he said, in the face of absolute force, everything will turn into nothingness...

That man was indeed a formidable figure! In comparison, Lin Feng finally realized that although her actions were shrewd, she lacked a broader perspective. Her ruthlessness was mostly focused on localized killings and bloodshed. When it came to the national interest, she could never compare to Bei Chentian.

A distant horn sounded like a wolf's howl, carrying an aura of killing intent and bloodshed. Both of them were slightly startled, and a sense of unease crept into their hearts.

"Let's go back." Bei Chenxiang nodded to Lin Feng, and the two returned to the envoy's residence.

The pitch-black night soon arrived quietly, and the moonlight was exceptionally thin under the hazy mist. By midnight, the entire full moon had disappeared into the dark clouds.

The night air carried a slight chill, and the villa was quiet everywhere. The guards, the Chechi soldiers, were dozing off listlessly when suddenly their vision blurred. Just as they were about to rub their eyes, everything went black, and a chill ran down their necks before they silently bid farewell to this world.

The man in black, having dealt with the two guards, had a sharp look in his eyes. He gestured behind him, and a dozen or so muscular men nimbly scaled the wall and entered the spacious East Garden.

A dozen or so people arrived quietly, skillfully concealing themselves as they stealthily made their way into the house. The dark house was empty except for the bulging bed, where the saintess slept...

A man drew his long sword and cautiously lifted the quilt on the bed. The moment he touched the quilt, his eyes widened in alarm.

"Run! We've fallen into a trap!" Urgent shouts rang out, and a dozen figures suddenly rushed out of the room through the doors and windows. A bright light suddenly rose into the room, revealing a huge bundle of extremely powerful explosives hidden under the quilt! A deafening explosion followed, and the entire room was instantly blown to pieces!

Of the dozen or so people, only a few with extremely high martial arts skills managed to escape outside the door. The rest were instantly blown to pieces, their bodies scattered and never to be seen again!

However, these ten people didn't seem to be very lucky. They had just escaped the gates of hell, but what awaited them was another terrible hell!

Bright torches lit up the walls, and large numbers of soldiers appeared out of nowhere, each carrying a torch and bow with terrifying firepower. "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!" A barrage of fire arrows swept through every corner of the courtyard like a rain of flowers!

"Damn it!" The leader of the men in black roared. Although these dozen or so men were highly skilled in martial arts, they were powerless against the overwhelming human wave tactics. Although they did not die from the rockets, they were all grazed and hit, suffering injuries.

As the rockets stopped, a man in black roared, "Charge out!" More than ten figures immediately scattered in all directions, their well-trained movements indicating their intention to flee! However, when they were placed against the wall, they were all shocked to find that all the internal energy in their bodies had been drained!

"The arrow is poisoned!" the black-clad leader roared in fury, but to no avail. The gate of the courtyard swung open, and a handsome man with bright eyes walked in. It was none other than Bei Chenxiang, who had been lying in wait here for a long time.

"Capture them alive!" Bei Chenxiang calmly ordered, a smile appearing in his eyes. *Thinking to himself,* he thought, "You really are a master strategist!"

"Your Highness, they have all committed suicide by poison!" a soldier reported. These people were clearly from a highly disciplined organization. Each of them had poison in their mouths, and seeing that they could not escape, they bit open the poison sacs in their mouths and committed suicide.

Bei Chenxiang frowned slightly. Even the leader in black had committed suicide? His gaze shifted to the group of people, his brows suddenly furrowing, and he felt a cold sweat break out all over his body. Incredulous surprise flashed in his eyes. Ten people were far too few to carry out this operation! If the other side was determined to carry it out completely, they would never send just a few people to their deaths!

Damn it! You lied to me again!

"Head to the West Garden immediately!" Bei Chenxiang ordered urgently, his heart filled with turmoil. He cursed fiercely, "Damn, you're such a deadly woman!"

At this moment, in the West Garden, Lin Feng, dressed in white, stood in front of the gate, gazing at the sky. The sound of gunpowder explosions from the East Garden reached his ears, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
