King of Nine Skies-Chapter 199 - :Der Sturm kommt
Chapter 199 - 199:Der Sturm kommt
Lin Feng's gaze trembled for a moment. After a while, he let out a long breath.
"Such naivety."
With a low murmur, Lin Feng felt that sometimes he was rather ridiculous. He truly believed that the situation in the Battle of Jianlei City was tense, and that the King's heart was too unpredictable. Compared to them, even he, who had lived two lifetimes, seemed rather inexperienced. For power and interests, nothing was impossible to do or sacrifice.
"Have you been keeping them outside the city all along?" Lin Feng asked. But he saw Liu Canglan smile coldly and say, "Since I've already seen through your intentions and want me to surrender without a fight, it won't be that easy. I'm going to see how they manage to seize the power from my hands in Dianlie City."
"It's just that Lin Feng, you shouldn't have come here with Feifei at this moment."
Liu Canglan gave a wry smile. In the past, he deliberately made Lin Feng leave Liufei away from him in order to prevent Lin Feng and Liufei from getting involved in this turmoil. But he never expected that at this moment, Lin Feng turned around and brought Liufei back by himself.
"Since we have already come here, there's no way to avoid it."
Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and smiled carelessly, saying without any concern.
"All right, let's go to the palace," said Liu Canglan, shaking his head and smiling wryly. He glanced at the crowd behind Lin Feng and felt somewhat surprised. All these people had bright eyes and were full of vitality. Their strength was all not weak. Especially the woman with the veil covering her face, her body carried an air of sanctity, which made Liu Canglan feel a sense of something unfathomable.
"Feifei, how does Lin Feng treat you?"
Liu Canglan's eyes and lips were fixed on her daughter, Liu Fei, and he said jokingly.
"Father." Liu Fei gave Liu Canglan a sharp look, then turned to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng is now the personal bodyguard of the Princess. He's quite a person of importance."
"Er..."
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned. He gave a wry smile and looked at Liu Fei. This girl, she just keeps saying whatever comes to her mind.
"Is this the personal guard of Your Highness the Princess?"
Liu Canglan's gaze betrayed a hint of suspicion, and he murmured a word.
"Father, you don't know yet, isn't it? Lin Feng is in the Imperial City. He is favored by the Second Prince, Duan Wuyi, and is also liked by the beautiful Princess. The Second Prince has entrusted the Princess to Lin Feng, asking him to take good care of her."
Liu Fei spoke vividly and animatedly, causing several dark lines to appear on Lin Feng's forehead. How could he help but feel that there was a hint of his daughter complaining to her father-in-law?
"Lin Feng." Liu Canglan sensed the resentment in Liu Fei's words and looked at Lin Feng with a half-smile. This guy is really impressive. He managed to win over his headstrong daughter so quickly. Even his words were tinged with resentment.
"Uncle Liu, actually, in my eyes, Feifei is more beautiful than the princess." Lin Feng gave a rather brazen smile and continued, "But, Feifei has always been reluctant to live with me. So, I have to..."
"Ha ha."
Lin Feng said this, chuckling dryly twice and giving a knowing look, which made the people around all stare in astonishment, their eyes wide open.
Even Liu Canglan was stunned by Lin Feng's words. Liu Fei, on the other hand, had a look of extreme anger on her face. She then looked at Lin Feng with an indescribable rage and roared, "Lin Feng, you shameless lecherous bastard!"
"When did I ever do you wrong, Feifei? You can't accuse me in front of Mr. Liu. If such a thing really happened, you can tell Mr. Liu yourself."
Lin Feng said solemnly, making Liu Fei almost collapse in despair. This guy... is just too shameless.
Liu Canglan was also speechless for a moment, then burst out laughing. The gloomy atmosphere was instantly dispelled. His gaze lingered deeply on Lin Feng for a moment. This guy seems to be able to quickly adjust the atmosphere as well.
The others also had their gazes linger for a moment, watching Lin Feng's eyes flicker. Lin Feng was extremely arrogant and unrestrained, with an unyielding pride. But he never expected that he would have such a witty moment. He acted and spoke without any restraint, daring to say anything. At this moment, he was completely different from the Lin Feng who was fighting.
A group of people arrived at Liu Canglan's residence. Liu Canglan arranged the living quarters for Lin Feng and others. As for the others like Duan Tianlao, they were really left outside the city by Liu Canglan and were not given any attention.
Duan Tianlang did not deliberately stir up trouble either. The large army remained quietly outside Dianlie City, seemingly very calm.
On the third day, while Duan Tianlang was having a meal with Lin Feng and others, he was suddenly shaken to his feet by some news.
The sentry reported that Prince Marak of the Mo Yue Kingdom, who was on a campaign to the Snow Moon, had already advanced to a distance of over a thousand li beyond the territory of the Broken Edge. According to their marching speed, the sentry estimated that it would take no more than two days for the Mo Yue Kingdom's army to march straight ahead and directly enter the territory beyond the Broken Edge.
Lin Feng looked at Liu Canglan. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Besides the title of "Divine Archer", Liu Canglan was also respectfully called "God of the Army" or "God of the Army in the Military". This shows the prestige Liu Canglan enjoys in the military and his strength. But this news actually made Liu Canglan lose his composure. He immediately stood up from his seat. Obviously, this news must have been very shocking.
Standing up, Liu Canglan saw the confusion in Lin Feng and others' eyes. Then he slowly sat down and said, "Mao Cai, the Prince of Mao Yue Kingdom, a child prodigy, is only seventeen years old yet has already reached the level of the Ninth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm. He is likely to enter the Xuan Wu Realm at any moment. Moreover, his intelligence is also outstanding. According to reports, in the wars between Mao Yue Kingdom and other countries, as long as he leads the troops, he will be invincible in battle."
Lin Feng and others' gazes briefly lingered. At the age of just seventeen, he had already reached the level of the ninth layer of the Spirit Power Realm. This was truly terrifying. His natural talent was comparable to that of the strongest among the eight eldest sons of the Xue Yue Kingdom.

Moreover, on the battlefield, this seventeen-year-old youth was able to achieve victory over all opponents.
"Father, you have experienced countless wars. Haven't you ever suffered a defeat?"
Liu Feihao spoke with great confidence. The crowd nodded in agreement. The name of the "Divine Archer" Liu Canglan was built up through successive military achievements.
What I'm worried about is not this. The reason why Capricorn is invincible is not only because of his own strength but also because of his significance in the Mo Yue Kingdom. Whenever there is a battle involving him, Mo Yue Kingdom will surely do its utmost to ensure his safety and to create a deity for him, making Capricorn the symbol and deity of Mo Yue. Therefore, when Capricorn leads the expedition to Xue Yue, Mo Yue Kingdom will surely come with great force. This time, it will be an unprecedentedly fierce battle.
Mo Canglan's gaze was tightly knitted. With internal and external troubles, the situation in the country was dire. The king distrusted him and was plotting to seize his power. Outside, the Mo Yue Kingdom was launching an all-out attack with the entire nation's resources. This crisis was even more severe than any other time.
Lin Feng and others all narrowed their eyes. They could understand Mo Canglan's meaning. This time, it was very dangerous.
At this moment, only Liuzhangan's body rose up directly and said, "You guys keep on eating. I'll go and check at the city gate."
Lin Feng's gaze narrowed. Instantly, he understood the meaning of Liu Canglan's words. He wanted to let the people of Duan Tianlao and others enter the city and work together to fight against the enemy.
"Liuchanglan, truly deserving of the title of 'The Divine Archer', quite the bold and resolute person."
The crowd murmured to themselves, "We all knew that Duan Tianlao was here to seize power. But when the enemy from outside attacked, he made such a significant decision instantly. It's hard for ordinary people to act like him."
"King of Mo Yue, Prince of Capricorn!"
Lin Feng murmured softly, "This time the Mo Yue Kingdom has come in full force to attack. It seems that a great calamity is inevitable. I never expected that it would be me, Lin Feng, who would be caught in the crossfire."
"I'll go and have a look too." Standing up, Lin Feng lifted his feet and chased after Liu Canglan. The others were startled by this and all rose to follow suit.
At this moment, in the city of Jianle, the people were still calmly going about their daily lives, peaceful and harmonious. With Liu Canglan around, the city of Jianle had never been shaken.
However, the current tranquility of Dianlie City has made Lin Feng sense a hint of the approaching storm, a sense that the war's curtain is about to rise.
