"His Highness King Yu and the Young Marshal are back!"
From the observation deck of the Dragon's Fang, there was a loud shout, and the gates of the barracks rumbled open.
Several high-ranking officers came out to welcome them, escorting Shen Lingjue, Feng Ningyan and Li Yao into the camp.
Before he could reach the front of the tent, he saw Feng Wei lead the Southern Ning Army generals to welcome him outside of the tent. They all kneeled down and said loudly, "This subject welcomes Your Highness King Yu back to the camp!"
Shen Ling Jue hurriedly helped up Feng Wei, telling the generals not to stand on ceremony, and asked about Feng Wei's condition. Feng Wei said, "When this subject sees His Highness and Yan'Er together, let alone getting sick, even if I die, I have to wake up laughing!"
"Father …" When Feng Ningyan heard these unlucky words, her heart fiercely jumped a few times. She hurriedly frowned and interrupted Feng Wei. "Great fortune! Great benefit! You can't speak nonsense!"
At this time, a high-ranking officer strode towards Feng Ningyan, clasped his hands, and greeted, "Greetings, Your Highness Duke of Yu, Young Marshal!"
Feng Ning Yan was pleasantly surprised as she supported him, "Brother Li! You've recovered from your injuries? "
It turned out that this high-ranking officer was Li Pei, who had been wounded in the Green Plum Guild and was recuperating at Ye Bailu's place!
Feng Ningyan was very happy to see that he was safe and sound. She looked around excitedly.
Ye Bailu possessed the unique skills of a Witch Doctor, so Li Pei's wounds were healed quickly. Even the burns were only left with a slight scar, and if one did not look carefully, it was impossible to see.
Li Pei proudly said: "It's just a little burn wound. Doctor Ye Bailu is really skillful in recovering. As soon as I recuperated from my injuries, I immediately went back to the camp to wait!"
Feng Ningyan could not help but happily nod her head, extending her hand and forcefully patting his shoulder. "That's right, this is the time to hire someone! "You came back just in time."
Liao Guangwen also walked over, and when he saw Li Pei and Feng Ning Yan, he couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes. "Young Marshal, Li Pei, we're finally together again."
Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law had finally reached an agreement, Feng Wei was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He just wanted to hold his son-in-law's hand and have a good drink.
Shen Ling Jue was still seated beside Feng Ning Yan, but beside Feng Wei, they were seated facing the south.
The rest of the generals were seated, one on each side of the table.
Everyone curiously asked Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan about the military affairs of the Southern Mountain Pass. Shen Ling Jue smiled without saying a word, while Feng Ning Yan proudly told everyone about how she and Li Yao acted like father and daughter, how they had defeated the enemy with a series of rings, and how she used the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Formation to swallow up the enemy's entire vanguard camp. Finally, she explained about how Shen Ling Jue had defeated Duan Liushao, and how she was beaming with joy and talking about everything.
Shen Ling Jue secretly laughed at Feng Ning Yan's exaggeration, but from her bright eyes, he could see the trust and adoration she had for her, which made him especially sweet.
After three rounds of drinking, the generals let go one by one and talked even more happily. The laughter of the men spread across the dome of the camp and into the clouds.
At this moment, a delicate call sounded from outside the tent.
"Greetings, uncle." With a flash of the tent flap, Hua Ruyu walked in and kowtowed.
The crowd had not expected her to appear at this time, and all of their gazes were focused on her. Thinking about the rumors in the army camp and the dead vice general Yue Qing, rage gushed out from their eyes.
Seeing Yue Qing killed, Li Pei felt even more hatred when he saw Hua Ruyu: "What are you doing here!"
Shen Ling Jue, Feng Wei and Feng Ning Yan's expression turned cold at the same time as they placed their wine cups down.
On the other hand, Hua Ruyu appeared to be in a delicate and touching situation. She kneeled in front of Feng Wei and cried:
"Uncle, Ruo Yu heard that Prince Cheng has been placed under house arrest. Ruo Yu is his secondary concubine, how can she recuperate peacefully? I beg uncle and elder cousin to forgive Ruo Yu for her previous ignorance and foolishness, please let the prince go. "
The moment Feng Ningyan heard her words, she knew that Hua Ruyu must have heard the news and came over to plead for mercy.
Because the military situation was urgent, she didn't have time to deal with Hua Ruyu, and didn't want to add to Feng Wei's illness, so she tactfully allowed Hua Ruyu to recuperate in the Heng Yue Sect.
Feng Wei said coldly: "Forgive? Because of your jealousy, you secretly caused the deaths of dozens of people from the Green Plum Guild and even framed your cousin. I, Feng Wei, do not have such an unfilial and disloyal niece like you! "
Hua Ruyu was on the verge of tears, but she did not give up. Blinking her eyes, she said with teary eyes:
"Uncle, this is all my fault. Ruo Yu committed a grave mistake and has nothing to say. I don't dare to ask Uncle and Cousin for forgiveness." However, Ruo Yu pleaded for Prince Cheng, all for the good of the Feng family! Otherwise, if the emperor finds out about this matter in the future and blames them for it, he'll have to hold you all under house arrest to account. This is a crime that involves all nine families! "
On the side, Feng Ning Yan coldly watched Hua Ruyu's performance. This woman, how could she care about the life and death of the Feng family?
Hua Ruyu knew that no one trusted her, but she still shamelessly continued:
"Even with Prince Yu's backing, you guys can only implicate him. You've implicated him, and even caused him to be misunderstood by the Emperor. He said that he deliberately killed his own brothers and sisters in order to fight for the throne. Didn't you say that Prince Yu had lost his human heart?"
Everyone looked at Shen Ling Jue, only to see that Shen Ling Jue's expression was indifferent, not moved at all by Hua Ruyu's words.
Feng Wei frowned as he pondered over Hua Ruyu's words.
When he placed Shen Youhuang under house arrest, he had already made preparations to go to the capital and apologize to the emperor after the war, but at that time, King Yu was not present.
But now, Feng Ning Yan and Shen Ling Jue were as good as new, and the letter of departure was burnt. Everyone knew about this, how could they not be implicated?
Feng Ningyan's body stiffened. She slammed the table and was about to curse at Hua Ruyu, but Shen Lingjue merely smiled and said, "It's rare for you to think this through."
Upon hearing this, Hua Ruyu thought that Shen Ling Jue had been persuaded by her, and took the chance to say: "How about we release Prince Cheng, this is just a misunderstanding. Ruo Yu better explain to him, don't let big water run into the Dragon King's Temple, and we won't recognize any family members."
In order to get Shen Youhuang to come out, Hua Ruyu had used the word "misunderstanding" to describe everything that had happened.
Vice General Li Yao also walked up and whispered to Feng Wei, "General, if we keep Prince Cheng under house arrest like this, it won't be a big deal …"
Although most people disapproved of letting Shen You Huang go, none of them wanted Shen You Huang to use this matter against the Feng family and King Yu. They all agreed.
Feng Wei looked at the weak and pitiful Hua Ruyu kneeling on the ground, then at the presence of Feng Ningyan and Prince Yu. He was not afraid of any trouble from Shen You Huang, so he ordered, "Pass down the order and bring Prince Cheng here."
Hua Ruyu immediately turned sorrow into joy, she immediately stood up, anxiously looking at the tent curtain at the door.
Feng Ning Yan didn't want to put Shen You Huang down at first, so she couldn't help but pucker her lips.
Seeing this, Shen Ling Jue shook Feng Ning Yan's hand, reassuring her.
It had only been half an incense's time when Shen Youhuang was brought into the tent by the soldiers.
