As soon as Feng Ningyan finished speaking, the sound of armor sounded outside the door. The personal guards of King Yu's Mansion, dressed in silver armor, were led by Jing Qi and neatly escorted by Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ningyan on both sides.
They lined up in an octagonal formation, sabers unsheathed, their sleeves rolled up behind them.
A fierce aura that could topple mountains and overturn the seas oppressed Shen You Huang, Gao Xiang, and the others until they had nowhere to run.
Seeing that Jing Cha had returned, Feng Ningyan knew that Li Pei must have been properly sent to Ye Bailu for treatment. She felt slightly at ease.
Shen Youhuang was shocked on the inside. She hadn't thought that people from King Yu's Estate would come to Ningnan as well.
The two sides faced off fiercely. Shen Ling Jue lowered his eyes and looked at Shen You Huang, his gaze filled with a fearless and arrogant killing intent towards the Divine Buddha.
Shen Youhuang simply didn't dare meet his gaze and slightly shifted her gaze.
He had originally come prepared, but now, he had suddenly become weaker in terms of power. Even if it was an imperial family status, it was still useless.
After a moment of consideration, Shen Youhuang decided not to clash head on with Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan. Instead, she retreated out of the military tent and stood on the balcony made from logs as she spoke with a loud and righteous voice.
"This prince just heard that General Feng has returned from his inspection of the army camp this morning. Princess Yuhuang has said that General Feng is not here and cannot receive orders. Could it be that you want to disobey orders?"
At this time, not too far away from the marshal's tent, several battalions of soldiers were all training. They all looked in their direction when they heard Shen Youhuang's loud voice.
Over a thousand people watched on helplessly. Shen You's golden seal in her hands signified a saint's will. These two words were not meant to disobey the King's orders, but meant to disobey the Emperor's orders!
The military rumors had already spread, and everyone had doubts in their hearts as they waited for the truth to surface.
If Feng Wei didn't appear and Feng Ningyan didn't accept the order, wouldn't that mean that the Feng family's reputation of disloyalty was confirmed?
At this moment, Shen Youhuang was purposefully making things big. This move caught Feng Ning Yan off guard.
Shen Ling Jue smiled faintly and walked out. He looked at the hazy clouds of dust in the camp and swept his gaze coldly at Shen You Huang.
"Fourth brother, you have to be careful with your words. You can't not know the difference between being ordered by the supervisors and being ordered by royal father, right? The military overseer is responsible for bringing the military details of the border pass to royal father, but if there is any major action, there must be an imperial edict, otherwise, it would be a fake imperial edict. "
The reason why Shen Lingjue had spoken of this difference was because he knew that Shen Youhuang had absolutely no time to receive her royal decree.
Shen Youhuang's expression changed when she heard this.
He indeed does not have an imperial edict, but after many days of planning, it had already reached the end. How could he be willing to be easily scared off by Shen Ling Jue?
He smiled sinisterly. "This king is far from the borders, how can I consult with my royal father everything and receive an imperial edict to do things? The military overseer represents the royal father. This king has the 'authority' when things go according to plan! " As he spoke, he raised the golden seal in his hand.
Feng Ning Yan glared at Shen You Huang and said, "You want to go with the flow?" I think you want power! The southern border army is about to make a move, but you only know how to frame your loyalty! Don't you know that there's no such thing as a perfect egg under the cover of a nest! "
Shen Youhuang grinned coldly.
"This king only knows that if you want to be outside, you will be inside. This king believes that Brother Yu and Princess Hua-Yang are more clear than anyone else on the reason for the unstable morale of the army. "
His purpose for saying so in public was extremely obvious.
"That's precisely because the Feng family is disloyal to the imperial court, has formed their own faction and is in control of their power; Yuwangfei committed many evil deeds, was jealous of her abilities, and even the meritorious Vice General Yue was not spared. Just last night, she killed him in the Cyan Plum Manor!"
Feng Ning Yan immediately clenched her fists, wishing that she could punch this little wolf-like person until all the teeth on the ground fell out.
Shen Ling Jue sensed that Feng Ning Yan's emotions were about to explode, so he grabbed her hand and channeled a cold inner breath into her body.
Feng Ningyan only felt a wave of cold air coming at her, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"Cheng Wang! As long as County Governor Ning and Qi Cang captured the culprit, the truth would be revealed! Your schemes and tricks will soon be exposed! "
Shen Youhuang smiled coldly, "The county governor of Ningnan, Qi Cang, was single-handedly led by General Feng. Who doesn't know and Yu Wangfei doesn't need to speak of his friendship? This prince believes that he should avoid arousing suspicion, right?"
"You!" Feng Ning's temple suddenly felt a piercing pain from the smoke.
Shen You Huang had slandered the Feng family, implicated Shen Ling Jue, and now even Qi Cang was involved in the slander.
The surrounding officers looked around blankly, not knowing who to believe.
Someone from the troop shouted loudly, "The will of the army cannot be disordered, please prove your innocence, Great General and Young Marshal! Let the hundred thousand Southern Ning soldiers feel at ease!"
When this person shouted, everyone was stunned.
Although there had been rumors everywhere these two days, most people still believed in Feng Ning Yan and Feng Wei's courage and loyalty.
Even if some of them were not firm in their resolve, they would not dare to openly question it.
But now, there was actually someone who dared to make such a ruckus. Everyone looked towards the direction of the voice, but they couldn't see who was speaking just now.
Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan looked at each other, knowing that it must have been a spy arranged by Shen You Huang who had mixed into the crowd to cause trouble.
However, what he said now was not convincing at all.
In an instant, the entire camp was filled with cheers.
There were people supporting Feng Wei and the Young Marshal, urging Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan to tell him what happened in the Green Plum Guild and where Yue Qing went.
Some accused Shen Youhuang of being arbitrary and thought that he should quickly invite Feng Wei to explain the whole story.
Some even questioned whether Shen Lingjue had come to the Ning Nan Army to claim the throne, while others directly asked if the Ning Nan Army would be taken in by the Yuwang Mansion in the future.
This kind of situation had never occurred since the day the Feng Clan had formed the Southern Ning Army.
The hearts of the people were in chaos.
It was as chaotic as a tree in a hurricane. At any moment, it could break apart and collapse.
She thought that the Feng Family and the Southern Ning Army were inseparable by blood ties. Only today, after seeing with her own eyes the power of rumours and the bewitching power of the hearts of the people, did she realize how difficult it was for the generals of the Feng Family to gather their hearts!
However, the hundreds of years of the Feng Clan's achievements had caused them to be faced with a hopeless situation because of their struggle to obtain the direct line between the two of them.
She wished that she could kill Shen You Huang with a single slash, but this was a huge problem for her!
At this moment, a weak voice came from the camp: "This marshal is here!"
Everyone turned their heads in shock, only to see the pale-faced Feng Wei being supported by Li Yao as he walked out step by step.
"Father …"
"Great General!"
Seeing that Feng Wei was still weak and needed someone to support him while he was walking, both Feng Ningyan and Shen Ling Jue cried out in alarm at the same time.
Feng Wei raised his hand, and signaled the two of them not to panic.
He walked out of the balcony, raising his head to look at Shen Youhuang.
"Cheng Wang, as an envoy of the army, you are not a three year old child. If you say that this marshal is disloyal and this young marshal is disloyal, then please take out evidence or else it would be slander! "Family rules, military regulations, slander of the general, and crimes are to be investigated and punished!"
Feng Wei was usually strong as he walked, and his words were sonorous and forceful. However, he was actually so weak today that not even a thousand feet of his speech could be heard. This caused the soldiers to be shocked and nervous.
When Shen Youhuang saw that Feng Wei had finally come out, yet was like an injured tiger, she thought to herself, The heavens are truly on my side!
