Chapter 210 Sending Sister Home (1/2)

“Four hundred sixty-nine imperial bodyguards were lost, not to count the God…… God of War and the Three Elder God of Feng. Stationed in the West a complete wipeout of five thousand mounted soldiers and armored horses, nothing remained, the east and west city soldiers of eight thousand three hundred twenty-seven persons died in the battle…… Adding up to a total number of thirteen thousand seven hundred ninety-six men.” an officer reported the numbers, afterwhich he couldn’t help but wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. This was the number of deaths, without considering the people who were seriously injured or burnt yet.

Thirteen thousand seven hundred ninety-six men…… this number had caused the originally quiet hall to be even more silent. Such casualties was already considered to be extremely disastrous in the battlefield…… But all of these, was actually caused by one single man…… one man! Moreover he had also killed the God of War and the Three Elder God of Feng, after sustaining a serious injury. Or else, it will not be just this number, Ye Wuchen might certainly escape safely.

But even if they were to turn around this number, it simply couldn’t compare to the death of the God of War. Until now, they were still doubting whether he had really died…… or maybe, all of these were just a ridiculously terrible nightmare.

They preferred to believe that, this was just a dream.

Inside the hall, Feng Lie and Feng Ling were present, together with more than ten important minister of the imperial court. Today the chaotic incident inside the palace and the large scale deployment of troops, simply made this incident inconcealable.

Feng Lie seemed to have already calmed down this time, he took a few glimpses at those terrified faces of the officials, then asked: “Regarding this matter, do you have anything else to say?”

“Your Majesty, forgive me for being frank, but this matter has been handled quite inappropriately. Firstly, rumor has it that Ye Wuchen was wearing the God of Sword’s ring, he was the only descendant of the God of Sword, but now he was compelled to die by our Gale Nation’s army, how could his teacher be willing to accept it, if the God of Sword showed up, then disasters will automatically happen…… without the God of War, we will not be able to resist; Secondly, deploying several tens of thousands of military forces just because of one person from the Tian Long Nation, also lost more than ten thousands because of one person, if this incident transmitted outwards…… it will truly affect our nation’s reputation, causing people to denounce us; Thirdly……”

“Superior Wen you’ve made a mistake!” the one who was speaking is Yue HanDong who was guarding the eastern city gate, interrupting him as he said: “Are you afraid now Superior Wen, do you really we cannot behead this person with the involvement of great number of people? Then are you aware that Ye Wuchen had intruded in the imperial palace beforehand, without explanation he had injured His Majesty the Crown Prince, taken His Majesty as the hostage, then finally in front of His Majesty, the crown prince, and the God of War, he killed the princess…… His every offense, was sufficient enough to let die a lingering death for ten or hundred times, do we have any reason not to kill him?”

Superior Wen:”This…… happened to be……”

“There’s nothing to worry about. Before it was due to the apprehension for the God of Sword, His Majesty and the crown prince repeatedly exercised forbearance, for many times they pledged to let him go, but he was still that way, he…… simply didn’t care about our Gale Nation, if we didn’t him, it will truly affect our Gale Nation’s reputation. That time the God of War had personally stood out and fight, didn’t actually care about the consequence, but unfortunately, as no one had expected…… the God of War was unexpectedly killed in his hands, the Three Elder God of Feng subsequently died in his hands…… And this kind of person, once we let him escape, how could we sleep peacefully because of that? To deploy magnificent army of thousand men and horses, to take his life by all means, how inappropriate was that?”

Superior Wen: “...... Oh, General Yue you were right, it must be because I have too much restraining fear towards the God of Sword. During those years if it wasn’t because of the God of Sword, our nation must not have retreated in defeat.”

“Although the God of Sword is an outstanding abled person yet he wasn’t someone who would be unreasonable, all of them were because of Ye Wuchen’s huge mistake beforehand, the God of Sword will not carry out vendetta against without any reason. I believe, he will not make his move.”

“I hope so.”

Only Feng Lie and Feng Ling knew, that Feng Ru didn’t die without any reason. Her death, the God of War’s death…… The cause for all of these, was because she had brought home that white haired young girl, then slapped her on the face. She was like a piece of bomb, permitting all of these to break out when they were completely caught off guard.

“Your Majesty, the reason why we have temporarily postponed the war was because of the arranged marriage between the daughter of Ye family and His Highness the Crown Prince, but now…… Should we dispatch our own armies once more, and directly target against Tian Long.” A military leader voiced out.

Feng Lie didn’t speak, Feng Ling waved his hand and said: “For the time being we must not. The casualties were disastrous as we could barely enough to accept it, but with Elder Feng and the Three Elder God of Feng gone, those we hated my father will certainly flock in soon, my father’s safety is our primary concern right now. So at the present we must concentrate on my father’s safety measures.”

Upon hearing these words, Feng Lie nodded his head. Since ancient times, the rulers of the most powerful nations were those who experienced more incidents of assassination. When the war against Tian Long Nation set out, the first thing that the Tian Long would think about was to do their utmost to assassinate the ruler of the Gale Nation. To find another person like the God of War among the Gale Nation was already impossible, even if they really found one, he might certainly not be similar like Feng ChaoYang who had willingly devoted all his life to protect the Feng family. Not to mention the God of War, even those experts like the Three Elder Gods of Feng, will be similarly this way.

“So, we must maintain the peace treaty through marriage, for the meantime we just mutually steady our troops.” said Feng Ling, his expression was somehow unnatural.

“Peace treaty through marriage? The Ye family will soon learn about the incident today, they will certainly be more hateful towards our nation, how could they agree to marry off their daughter once again. Now the daughter of Ye which we have never seen, she must have been escorted back to her homeland.” said Yue HanDong with knitted brows. He could see that, for Feng Ling to speak like this, the primary reason would be because he was still madly in love with Ye ShuiYao.

“Yes, the Ye family might never agree again, but with the refuse of Ye family it doesn’t mean that the emperor of Tian Long Long Yin will not agree. The one who had longed for this peace treaty wasn’t us, but Long Yin. Ye family’s refusal will not be a problem, Long Yin will think of the way to let them agree for our sake. Moreover……” With a long sigh he said: “I am ashamed, this matter was being facilitated with the assistance of Elder Feng, Feng Ling didn’t want to give up at this point, this is to show respect for him.”

The crowd went completely silent.

The God of War’s death, the chaos in the imperial palace, the strength of the entire Feng family was greatly affected, currently it was indeed not a good time to start a war.

When the moon has reached its culmination, Tong Xin had eventually waken up.

All of them were not part of the dream, her body ached and limp, his breath still cannot be detected, even the slightest bit.

She wiped off the dust stains on her face, her tears fell down once again. Beside her, was a pile of chopped body parts, when she turned her gaze around, her eye expression was full of hatred. She stretched out her hands, a beam of dark light dashed out, blowing them apart, perished.

She turned her head again, looking at the West, that place, was where his breath had faded away. She was bewildered, not knowing what path she should take without him, without someone to rely on and the place to return to.
