Shen Ling Jue looked at Feng Ning Yan's familiar appearance and couldn't help but recall the night they first met at the general's mansion. She was wearing the same set of blue and silver armour and a veil which covered her as she walked in front of him.

The scenes from that night were engraved in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of them.

When he saw her current attire, he couldn't help but smile as he thought back to the dangers and feelings they had gone through along the way.

"Who said yesterday that this king would speak to father-in-law, that this king would have to be quiet?"

Feng Ningyan smiled and bowed towards her father. "Good morning, father!"

Feng Wei waved his hand and said, "Yan'Er, it's great that you're here. Let's finish eating and go take a look at the Southern Yong Pass."

After saying that, the three of them sat at a table and ate breakfast.

At this time, the deputy general, Yue Qing, walked in angrily and cupped his hands in a salute: "Reporting to the great general, something has happened to Heng Wu Residence!"

"The Heng Yue Sect?" Feng Ning Yan was startled and asked Yue Qing, "Isn't that place empty?"

"What is that place?" Seeing Yue Qing's serious face, Shen Lingjue knew that things would not be resolved easily, so he asked.

Feng Ning Yan said, "Ah, Heng Wu Residence. That was the place I used to live. It's in a hidden valley to the west. There was a small lake in the valley, and because I liked to swim and fish there when I was young, my father had people build bamboo houses, and they called them the Heng Wu Residence. "

Hearing her words, Shen Ling Jue understood immediately.

The Ning Nan army was made up of men. For convenience's sake, Feng Ning Yan had always dressed as a woman, so bathing and swimming had become a problem.

With a place like this, she would be able to swim and bathe freely.

However, now that the Heng Yue Sect was empty, what could happen to it?

When Feng Wei heard this, he did not find it strange. He put down his chopsticks, frowned, and said, "That kid is making a ruckus again?"

Yue Qing was furious, he looked at Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan and said, "This time, it's not a hunger strike, but a poison in our soldiers' tea. Now he's controlling a soldier, threatening us to release him! "You really don't know what's good for you!"

Hearing this, Feng Ningyan and Shen Ling Jue immediately knew who he was referring to.

Feng Ning Yan was elated as she stood up. "What, Daddy placed Mr. Ye in Heng Wu Residence?"

Feng Wei nodded his head. "That place is close to the dragon's teeth and is hidden from the rest of the army. I even sent people to protect him, but who would have thought that after arriving here, he would be unwilling to cooperate. If it wasn't for your Royal Highness and your request, father would have already sent him back to the Southern Wilderness! "

Shen Lingjue laughed out loud, "That Ye Bailu has a weird personality, but he is also a reasonable person. Let me and the wangfei go talk to him."

When Yue Qing heard this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. "If Prince and Young Marshal could persuade that stubborn and stubborn Miao Ren, then thank god!"

The two didn't have time to eat anymore, they immediately got up and rushed to Heng Wu Residence.

That valley was only seven to eight Li away from the dragon's teeth where the Southern Ning Army's camp was located.

After passing through a narrow mountain pass, they came to a sudden realization as soon as they entered the valley. Indeed, there was a universe within.

The west side of the valley was a clear, dark green lake, and with a glance, one could see the fish and stones swimming at the bottom of the lake. Under the light of the sun, the fish scales and stones were shining.

On the other side of the valley was a two-story bamboo building. Although the area was not large, there were living rooms, teahouses, kitchens, and bedrooms. The environment was very comfortable and beautiful, needless to say.

If it was an ordinary person who was accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the town and lived in seclusion, they would feel that this place was transcendent and extremely joyful.

Unfortunately, from the valley's entrance onwards, sentries had been set up to protect Ye Bailu. They had really destroyed the atmosphere of this place. No wonder Ye Bailu was always making trouble and didn't want to stay here.

As the two walked towards the Heng Wu residence, they saw two soldiers in the courtyard. Their faces were pale, their eyes were rolled up, and their bodies were stiff. They seemed to be wandering aimlessly like ghosts.

When the door of the main hall was open, Ye Bailu sat cross-legged at the door with his eyes closed, looking at the two soldiers he controlled with puppet Gu numbly.

Yue Qing helped Feng Ning Yan and Shen Ling Jue lead the way. Seeing his subordinates like this, Yue Qing gnashed his teeth in anger.

He pushed open the door and scolded: "Godly Doctor Ye, His Highness Duke of Yu and his wife have arrived. Why haven't you come out to pay your respects yet?"

Feng Ning Yan saw Yue Qing being so rude, she walked in unhappily and said in a deep voice: "Vice General Yue, is this how you treat my savior?"

Yue Qing was extremely wronged. "Young General, when I first invited him, he was also extremely respectful and courteous, but he has gone too far in bullying us. Look at our soldiers, what kind of ghastly appearance do they have? How can this lowly general be courteous with him? "

Shen Ling Jue raised a hand to interrupt him, then shouted towards the inside, "Mr. Ye, how have you been?"

Ye Bailu heard Shen Ling Jue's shout and happily opened his eyes. When he saw that it was indeed Feng Ning Yan and Shen Ling Jue, he quickly stood up from the ground, dusting off the dust on his body and welcomed them.

Seeing that he was walking steadily, he knew that his rheumatism leg had been cured.

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan also walked in.

However, the two soldiers who were being controlled by the puppet Gu were blocking the way. Feng Ning Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, can I trouble you to remove this Gu for our brother, okay?"

Ye Bai was bitterly angry with these soldiers, but he still had to give face to Feng Ning Yan and Shen Ling Jue. He was not very willing to take out the medicine and feed it to the two soldiers, then he took back the puppet Gu.

The three of them parted ways for a long time. Ye Bailu had a lot of things he wanted to ask, so he invited Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan into his house.

At that time, Feng Wei had sent someone to send Ye Bailu back to the Miao stronghold, but all of Ye Bailu's family members were no longer in the world. The only thing that could support him was his revenge, so what he was most concerned about now was the fate of his enemies.

Feng Ningyan told him that the Crown Prince had led hundreds of assassins and launched a coup in order to usurp the throne, causing Shen Lingjue, Prince Cheng and the Imperial Guards to repel the assassins and capture the Crown Prince on the spot.

While the crown prince was in exile, he was killed by the killer he raised with his own hands.

When Ye Bailu heard that the culprit who destroyed his family and destroyed his entire family was already dead, he could not help but feel both happy and sad.

But he only laughed a few times, and then suddenly became serious again.

"No, the Crown Prince is already dead, why would those assassins need to kill him?" They have always followed orders. Could it be that after the death of the crown prince, there was someone else who controlled the assassination association? "

Shen Ling Jue nodded his head, "Mr. Ye has guessed correctly, there is someone else controlling this group of killers. "Furthermore, this person was most likely involved in the process of destroying the Witch Doctor's clan and raising the assassin."

"Who is he?" Ye Bai suppressed his voice and asked.
