***************************

Rong Tian’s sneaking into the Tong Kingdom was a confidential matter. Outside, there were people who didn’t know of his presence, including some from the Xiao Family. Although they could be considered on the same side, in order to protect Rong Tian’s security, it was better that less people knew. 

That’s why, standing outside the door, Rong Hu had not mentioned Rong Tian when reporting. 

Feng Ming cried out in disappointment, his spirit dampened.

He was looking forward to having a good time, but was interrupted by Rong Hu. With a dejected look, Feng Ming scratched his head and raised his voice to answer. “Come in, Rong Hu. What important matter do you have to report?”

Rong Hu entered, followed by two others.

One was the fully rested and fed Zi Yan, and the other was an unexpected guest who caught him by surprise.

“Mian Ya?” A surprised expression was plastered on his face. Feng Ming had already covered his body with the silk quilt by the time Rong Hu stepped through the threshold. He smiled and continued, “You’ve also come? Such perfect timing. When did you arrive? Ah, we have such a big gathering, today sure is exciting!”

Closing the door, they did not become complacent and saluted to the King and Duke Ming.

After greeting them properly, Mian Ya responded to Feng Ming’s questions. “Reporting to Duke Ming, this subordinate has just arrived to Han Ruo. The King had instructed me to investigate the situation in each kingdom. After gathering all the news and information, I immediately went to Dong Fan to report, however, the King had already left to join up with Duke Ming. That is why I personally came to Tong. Fortunately, I am able to meet up with both the great King and Duke Ming.”

He was weary from travelling, evidenced by his darkened skin and skinnier frame. 

All the troubles he went through could be seen clearly on his face.

Rong Tian’s main concern was the intelligence reports on the movements of the other kingdoms. He felt a bit elated once Mian Ya arrived.

The first thing Rong Tian asked was, “Where is Ruo Yan right now?”

“Reporting to your Majesty, according to the information this subordinate gathered, Li’s King is currently in hiding.” Mian Ya’s response was brief, almost as if the news was not important, however his face carried no trace of relaxation as he continued. “Your Majesty, on my way here, I passed through the city of Yue Zhong. Recently, Prince Yong Yi gained the King of Yong Yin’s approval to officially exercise his jurisdiction on Yue Zhong. The Prince will now keep a close eye on the city. For the time being, we won’t have to worry about Qian Lin and the others since Yong Yin will deploy its troops there.”

“Good.” Rong Tian could see through their uneasy expressions and he softly asked, “Now, report the bad news. Why do the three of you look so troubled?”

“At the moment, Yue Zhong is in safe hands while Fan Jia is distracted by Li. All these things had already been predicted by Your Majesty. But it’s strange that Li’s King has remained hidden and quiet recently. Subordinate was worried about this matter and just now, after reaching Han Ruo and talking to Rong Hu, only discovered…”

“Understood,” Rong Tian’s gaze fixed on Rong Hu. “Rong Hu, you continue the report.”

These three were men Rong Tian had personally picked and trained. With all three showing such a bad expression, he knew that there was definitely bad news.

He already had a guess at what the problem could be.

Could Lie Er possible be in trouble?

Rong Hu’s face was serious as he reported, “Your Majesty, after setting off from Yue Zhong, Mian Ya had met up with Prince Yong Yi and was informed that Lie Er had already gone to Tong in order to regroup with us.”

“Huh?” Feng Ming’s eyes grew bigger as he doubtfully asked, “When did he go? Why did we not meet him along the way?”

“Subordinate’s worries are… precisely because of this issue.”
