King of Nine Skies-Chapter 204 - :Assassination

Zhe Ma galloped up to Jiu Chi's side and Lin Feng shouted, "Commander!"

"Lin Feng, your camp is still at the original location. Now that you have been awarded the title, you belong to the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry Regiment. In the army, you can move around freely. In case of emergencies, you have the authority to handle them independently. However, I have to get those two guys back. If they leave, the positions of my two thousandth lieutenants will be vacant."

Jiu Chi pointed at Han Man and Bu Jun behind Lin Feng and said.

"General, how about we two joining the Heavenly Sword Battalion?" Han Man stepped forward and said with some anticipation. If they fought side by side with Lin Feng, he didn't care about the position of the Thousand-Troop Captain at all.

"No, you two are to report back to the team right now."

Jiu Chi heaved a sigh of exasperation. Han Man and Bofeng smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, General."

After saying that, the two of them gave Lin Feng a bitter smile and then returned to their thousand-man army.

"Lin Feng, these two fellows are still of use to me. They will be yours sooner or later." Jiu Chihui said with a hint of meaning. Then he added, "Go ahead."

"OK." Lin Feng gave a slight nod and then stepped aside.

"Lin Feng."

At this moment, a clear and crisp sound rang out. Lin Feng turned his gaze and saw that Duan Xinye over there was waving at him.

"Wait for me here." Lin Feng addressed Baodai and others and gave them this instruction. Then he came up to Duan Xinye and asked, "Does the Princess have any other instructions?"

"Can't I be called upon only when there's something to handle? You are my personal bodyguard after all."

Duan Xin gave a charming smile, leaving Lin Feng at a loss as to how to respond.

"Lin Feng, come with me back to the camp. This time I only brought Qiu Cao with me. You can talk to me while I'm out."

Duan Xin Ye said again, but Lin Feng remained silent.

"Are you not fond of it? Then forget it. Go back home."

When Duan Xinye saw Lin Feng remaining silent, a hint of sadness flickered in his eyes and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Lin Feng turned his horse around and galloped away. This scene made Duan Xinye bite her lip slightly. She felt a tinge of sadness in her heart. Since childhood, she had always been adored by others. She had never been rejected by anyone. The young talents from the imperial city, she had no interest in any of them. Only Lin Feng, this carefree and unrestrained handsome young man, gradually made her develop a certain fondness for him. But when she finally gathered the courage to speak up for the first time, she was rejected like this.

"Go back to your tents first."

A voice reached Duan Xinye's ears. It was Lin Feng's voice. She raised her head slightly and saw Lin Feng turn around. Instantly, a brilliant smile appeared on Duan Xinye's lips, with a touch of tender affection that turned tears into smiles.

It turned out that Lin Feng didn't refuse but rather asked his subordinates to go back first.

"Princess."

Lin Feng returned to stand in front of Duan Xinye and shouted.

"Let's go."

Duan Xin Ye's long hair swayed with the wind as she galloped on her horse. At that moment, many of her guards followed closely behind her, and Lin Feng also rode up to keep up. He didn't notice the many sinister glances following him at all.

"Humph."

Beside Liu Canglan, a soft moan was heard, which made Liu Canglan stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Liu Fei, who was wearing armor beside him, and said, "Feifei, you must do a good job."

"What am I supposed to show?"

Liu Fei gritted her teeth and said something, then she dismounted and rode back, secretly cursing Lin Feng in her heart. This lecherous fellow!

"General, it seems that Princess Xinye has a crush on Lin Feng. She will be a formidable rival for Feifei."

Jiu Chihe whispered, "These old guys have such sharp eyesight. The way they look at Lin Feng is obviously different from that of others."

When interacting with others, Duan Xin Ye always smiles gently. But when it comes to Lin Feng, that gentle smile of hers also carries a hint of tenderness.

The young girl was in the throes of her first crush, her eyes were tender and gentle, and her gaze was unyielding and unyielding. Just like Liu Fei, her eyes couldn't deceive anyone.

Liu Canglan shook his head with a bitter smile, his gaze falling upon a silent departing figure. This figure was also clad in armor, but Liu Canglan would never forget the purity beneath the armor. Even when he saw that figure of purity, he still felt a touch of shocking amazement.

...

In Duan Xin Ye's tent, the arrangement was exceptionally elegant. It was not luxurious, but very clean and serene, making one feel somewhat refreshed.

At this moment, Lin Feng and Duan Xinye were sitting on the ground, with a rosewood table placed in the middle.

"Princess, Young Master Lin Feng, have some tea."

Chuang Cao prepared two cups of tea and placed them respectively in front of Duan Xinye and Lin Feng.

Lin Feng hurriedly took it from her and nodded to her with a smile, saying, "Miss Autumn Grass, you don't have to take care of me like this."

Being treated in such a way, Lin Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Master Lin Feng, you are a guest of the princess. It is your duty to serve her."

Autumn grass smiled sweetly and her face showed two dimples. She was very cute. Her age was around fifteen or sixteen, right in the prime of her youth.

Lin Feng merely smiled and said nothing more. For a girl like Qiu Cao, she could be regarded as a servant. To be able to be by the princess's side was already very fortunate. Moreover, Duan Xin Ye seemed to treat her well. It could be seen that Qiu Cao merely showed respect for Duan Xin Ye but was not afraid of her. This shows that Duan Xin Ye is not the kind of spoiled and domineering person.

"Princess, this battlefield is fraught with dangers. Why did you venture here at all?"

Lin Feng asked somewhat puzzledly, "Even though Segment Xinye is on the battlefield, she can't really do much to help."

"After spending a long time in the imperial palace, breathing the same air every day, I just want to go out for a walk, to see the yellow earth and the soldiers' blood." Duan Xinye smiled gently. For many people, the imperial palace is a sacred place they yearn for in their hearts. But those who are locked inside feel it is a kind of shackles. Wanting to come out and move around, it's just like Duan Xinye.

"Lin Feng, do you like listening to musical pieces?" Duan Xinye suddenly asked. Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Yes, I do."

"I'll play it for you to listen."

When Duan Xinye saw Lin Feng nodding, a faint smile of excitement appeared in his eyes. At this moment, Qiu Cao had gone to fetch the guqin and placed it in the center of the rosewood table. He then tidied up the things on the table, showing great thoughtfulness.

Duan Xin Ye had a faint smile on her lips. She placed her hands on the strings of the zither and let her fingertips move, causing the notes to slowly resonate.

Looking at the present-day Duan Xinye, Lin Feng saw her as beautiful, elegant and noble. The occasional smile that she would raise her head to display was captivating. Regardless of Duan Xinye's status, just by her temperament and beauty, many men would be charmed by her.

It's no wonder that all those noble sons and daughters were all hoping to win the favor of Duan Xinye. Such a beautiful woman, with the status of a princess and the power of the strong-blooded lineage, how could she fail to touch people's hearts?

The melody played by Duan Xinye was soft and serene, yet with a touch of cheerfulness. It was like a gentle stream flowing through the bamboo grove.

Listening to the music, one can understand a person. From the music pieces, one can know that Duan Xin Ye is a person of such nature: like a clear spring flowing gently through a mountain stream; like a fragrant orchid in the secluded valley, pervading the serene mountainous area.

Lin Feng's eyes slowly closed. He sipped the tea in the cup and listened to the melodious sounds of nature. His mind was calm and peaceful. Being with Duan Xinye, Lin Feng not only wouldn't feel any awkwardness but would feel very relaxed, very comfortable, and even a touch of enjoyment.

Duan Xin Ye would occasionally raise her head and see Lin Feng, who was lost in thought and closed his eyes, smiling with a sweet expression on his lips.

Inside the tent, the atmosphere was serene. Only faint, melodious sounds kept drifting out.

However, just at this moment, Lin Feng, who had his eyes tightly closed, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. It was as if his heart had contracted.

Opening his eyes, a grey, unfeeling pair of pupils suddenly appeared. Everything around him became extremely clear. Lin Feng made no hesitation and turned around. In his hand, a dagger appeared and stabbed out.

"Snap!"

A sharp sound rang out. The dagger pierced the arrow. In an instant, the arrow that had been shot flew apart in the middle and then passed through Lin Feng's cheek.

The howling wind rushed towards him, blowing against his face. He saw the tent's curtain being lifted by the wind, and then a shadow flickered. A strong sense of crisis enveloped Lin Feng.

Lin Feng moved forward stealthily, the glimmer of the dagger flickered again. The long sword that was about to strike was broken, but this did not affect the movements of that illusory figure.

"Sniff, sniff!" The dagger pierced through the opponent's chest along the length of the long sword. However, what shocked Lin Feng was that the opponent's right hand directly grasped his hand, while in the opponent's left hand, an extremely sharp arrow shot out of the air with a whistling sound, carrying terrifying might, aiming at Duan Xin Ye behind Lin Feng.

Quickly, the entire action was completed in an instant, as swift as lightning. The opponent, even his own life, was disregarded. This was a trade of lives for lives.

"Assassins, Death Sentinels!"

Lin Feng's heart trembled. The arrow thrown by the opponent with his left hand was too fast. It was so fast that Lin Feng couldn't rely on his powerful strength to stop it in time.

But if he didn't stop her, then behind him, the young woman named Duan Xin Ye would be doomed to die without a chance of survival.

This assassin, at least has the cultivation level of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit-Defence Realm, the arrows he shoots with his life as the price are so powerful.
