 They currently reached the borders of Bo Jian in the beginning of Spring.

The city gate of Han Gui refused to open and many people are wondering the reason for the delay.

When the city gate finally opened up a bit, everyone was relieved and overly excited to rush in, but the guards stopped them and told them they cannot enter the city yet.

The Chief Gatekeeper ordered everyone to stand aside while the guards wipe clean the gates. Someone asked when the gates will be opened to enter, but the Gatekeeper just told them that when the time comes, they will open it up. However for now, they shouldn’t block the entrance.

Not knowing when the gates will open, the peddlers decided to set up in front of the entrance and sell their items.

A distance from the center of excitement, there was a horse carriage that did not stand out and drew attention. There were about dozen bodyguards far and near protecting the four corners of the carriage. Behind the carriage was an important cargo with three people protecting it.

Feng Ming was curious and poked his head outside of carriage curtain. Before anyone could get a good look at him, he disappeared back inside.

Who could have guessed, the people sitting within the horse carriage with several bodyguards surrounding it were the future ruler of one – Xi Lei Rong Tian and his most important person Duke Ming who was rescued from Dong Fan.

  “It hurts...” inside the carriage, Feng Ming pulled his neck in, turned his head around and stared. In this world, the people that could only pinch Xi Lei Duke Ming’s ears are not many. He rubbed his just pinched ear and let out a sigh: “I just wanted to have a look.”

RT: The time is crucial, having a look can bring about danger.

FM: Rong Hu stated, once we get through Han Gui and continue onward for one day, we’ll reach the border between Bo Jian and Yong Yin. Once we enter Yong Yin, we will be safe. Ai,

 Rong Tian...

Feng Ming pulled himself closer to Rong Tian, lowered his voice and revealed a strange smile. RT: What do you want?

FM: There’s a lot of peddlers of various kingdom outside.

RT: And so?

FM: Since we’re outside, can I...

RT: No.

 FM: But...

 RT: But what? You still haven’t learned your lesson from Li Kingdom and Dong Fan, haven’t you?

Feng Ming didn’t realize how strict Rong Tian was and his whole body was stiff. He lowered his eyes and didn’t say anything. Sitting around feeling depressed, he grabbed a bowl of rice and started counting each piece.

Rong Tian sat silently reading the book in his hand, while secretly observing. He saw Feng Ming with his head down and his eyes carefully stealing glances at him from time to time with a bit of caution, which became more pathetically cute. He couldn’t help but sighed and threw his book

 aside, waved his fingers and said, “Come here.”

Feng Ming glanced at him and slowly stood up. He walked in front of him with his frowning face, refusing to lift his head up.

RT: Why aren’t you saying anything?

FM: I was wrong, I shouldn’t be self-willed. My action is very dangerous and can harm everyone....

RT: Feng Ming...

FM: I won’t commit the same mistake, I was wrong, I should restrain myself and not cause trouble.

Admitting his fault like he had memorized them, Feng Ming then timidly lifted his head to look at Rong Tian.

Having Feng Ming looked at him, Rong Tian’s heart tighten.

RT: Why are you looking at me that way?

FM: I...Rong Tian, are you really dissatisfied with me? Do you really hate me?

RT: Dissatisfied? Hate? Feng Ming, why do you think so?

FM: You don’t think so? You seemed to be fiercer with me each day. The time when we

 returned from Fan Jia to Xi Lei, we were also hiding inside the horse carriage, but you didn’t treat me like this.

RT: Feng Ming...

Rong Tian sighed and pulled Feng Ming onto his lap, placing his forehead against Feng Ming’s forehead and asked.

RT: Do you know that right now among the eleven kingdoms, who is the most well-known person?

 FM: It’s you.

 RT: (shook his head) It’s you. It’s reported to me that your portrait has now spread to all eleven kingdoms. Right now, among the eleven kingdoms, from the Great Kings, to the royalties, and small level officials might not recognize me, but 90% of them can recognize you. Do you understand what this means?

FM: It means....I’ve become an international fugitive? ....But that does not explain where you are more fierce with me these days. These past days, every time I speak with you, you would have a serious face, every time you speak with me, you also have a serious face. Your face darken in seriousness, I feel uneasy....

 Feng Ming continued to ramble on, Rong Tian can’t help but frown, using his hand he rubbed Feng Ming’s ear and asked softly: “Does it still hurt?”

FM: Of course it hurts. (nodded his head vigorously). You’re always reading a book inside the carriage, ignoring me, and ... (his cheeks rapidly turned red, but he still gritted his teeth to say) Why aren’t you with me these days?

RT: Haven’t I been together with you these days?

FM: What I mean is... (his neck was burning red)... that kind of together...

Rong Tian looked at Feng Ming strangely.

FM: What are you looking at? (He angrily asked and then looked down to whisper) Discussing about this issue is just a normal thing...

RT: We haven’t been....that kind of together for how many days? FM: 10 days. (replied without hesitation)

RT: Ten days ago, who was the one who told me that he absolutely does not allow me touch one single hair on him?

Feng Ming’s face reddened all over.

FM: It’s because you were overindulgent and didn’t care whether I was dead or alive.

 RT: How about eleven days before when someone demanded to have fun and made 23 marks on my back?

Feng Ming’s ears were red.

FM: Then does that mean that just one line telling you can’t touch a single hair on me, you would treat me like smelly robe and toss me aside for 10 days, like a puppet and toss me aside to live on my own, even with every little request I’ve made, you would give me at least an hour of harsh accusations?

 RT: Actually, it’s not just because of that one line telling me I can’t touch a single hair of

 yours...I did that because of another line you said. FM: I have said something else?

Feng Ming thought hard and was suddenly surprised. He lifted his head and met with Rong Tian’s gaze.

FM: That doesn’t count! That line doesn’t count! (he continued shaking his head). RT: How does that not count?

Rong Tian laughed and quickly wrapped his arms around Feng Ming.

 RT: Someone had sworn that he will never take the initiative to mention about ‘the painful situation that can kill people (sex)’ and if he breach the oath he will lose his privilege/say in bed.

FM: That doesn’t count, doesn’t count!

Rong Tian faced his bright red ears and gave a flirtatious blow.

RT: You’re trying to deny again, I wanted to not talk to you for a whole 10 days.

FM: You are a dignified King, you shouldn’t use despicable means like this? You clearly know that I was sad and yet didn’t stop me.

Rong Tian laughed and was about to say something when Rong Hu’s voice from outside the curtain echoed in.

RH: Your Majesty, I just inquired and found out that a special guest is expected at Han Gui; therefore, requested that the city gates be cleaned up, covered with red carpet at the checkpoints to show respect.

“A special guest?”

RT: Bo Jian has a custom for royalty to enter first and commoners afterwards. If they meet with royal family or someone with special status, they would honor them by allowing them to enter the gates first. Since that special guest has not entered Han Gui yet, all the other people cannot

 enter.

FM: For a small honorable tradition to put so many people behind the city gates, it’s no wonder Bo Jian cannot be a powerful kingdom.

RT: (laughed) Xi Lei also had a similar practice, in order to show the status of aristocracy, we had wasted a lot of resources. After my coronation, I have abolished all of these practices.

Rong Tian called out for Rong Hu, “Who is the special guest arriving today?” Rong Hu glanced quickly over at Feng Ming, “It’s an acquaintance of Feng Ming.” FM: An acquaintance? ...the Fourth Prince of Bo Jian, Bo Ling?

 Rong Hu shook his head.

 FM: Then is it the Third Prince Bo Qin?

Rong Hu shook his head.

FM: Could it be...Bo Jian King personally arriving?

Rong Hu continued to shake his head.

RT: So is this the great intelligent Duke Ming, why whenever I’m next to you, you have become stupid all of a sudden?

FM: Since there is only one answer, only one person can come up with it, no need to have two

 people use their brains for it...Also, you will always tell me the answer.

RT: I’m guessing that this person is Princess Miao Guang from Li Kingdom.

FM: Miao Guang? (surprised, he looked towards Rong Hu)

Rong Hu’s eyes were full of admiration towards Rong Tian.

RH: How did Your Majesty guess correctly? From what I have inquired that special guest is Miao Guang.

FM: Hold on! That’s impossible, Li Kingdom and Bo Jian had never got along, Ruo Yan also made several attempts to infringe Bo Jian, even if Miao Guang appeared at Han Gui, she wouldn’t be subjected to such a respected treatment.

RT: There is a case that can make Miao Guang gain a respected treatment like this.

FM: What case?

RT: Miao Guang must had promise to marry Bo Qin, becoming the Bo Qin’s Princess consort.

FM: You shouldn’t forget that when Miao Guang kidnapped me, she had tricked Bo Qin, killed all of his bodyguards and caused him to be in such a state that he can’t deny it. Even though Bo Qin likes Miao Guang, but after going through those things, how can he still be willing to marry Miao Guang as a wife?

 RT: (objected) Those ten days I didn’t care about you, lectured you strictly and ruthlessly, but aren’t you still obediently sitting on my lap?

Feng Ming suddenly blushed red, like a rabbit having someone stepped on its tail, he jumped up from Rong Tian’s lap.

Lie Er received the news early and ran into the carriage sitting in a corner listening to them. FM: Even if Bo Qin agreed, Bo Jian King must not have.

 RT: Ruo Yan is serious injured; if he died Miao Guang will become the ruler of Li Kingdom.

 Receiving a daughter-in-law and acquiring a large powerful nation at the same time without having to waste a bit of strength and effort, Bo Jian King is a Great King of a kingdom, how can a simple matter before be worth anything?

FM: But Bo Jian has four different Princes, Bo Qin loves most is freedom, he wouldn’t want to become the Great King.

LE: You’re too naïve Duke Ming, I already told you that Miao Guang is a woman you can’t underestimate. With her treacherous nature, Miao Guang agreed to marry Bo Qin with conditions of becoming the future Queen to have connections with Bo Jian in the future. That Bo Qin is crazy for a wife, even if he has to become a pariah he would still agree, since it’s just

 sacrificing a little freedom to inherit the throne, what does that matter?

RH: Within Bo Jian, there are four Princes, but only three of them are of the Queen; therefore, Bo Jian King and the Queen are favorable towards the three Princes, hoping that one of them will inherit the throne. Therefore, if this Miao Guang suggested with conditions to have Bo Qin become Bo Jian Crown Prince, then she would have reached her goal of becoming Bo Jian Princess Consort, who wouldn’t wish for their son to inherit the throne?

Hearing them say that, it seems that Miao Guang’s plan is too perfect that Bo Jian King, Bo Jian Queen, and Bo Qin are all willing to fall into her trap. Feng Ming continued to shake his head in objection.

FM: That’s not right. Bo Jian King had said that choosing the Crown Prince is an important matter and purposely brought up three conditions to be fulfilled.

LE: Those whimsical conditions, whether it’s right or wrong is up to Bo Jian King to consider, how is that fair?

FM: But...

Rong Tian stopped Feng Ming and pulled him back onto his lap.

RT: Feng Ming, why are you so worried?

FM: If everything we said is true, then Li Kingdom and Bo Jian will become allies, this would be

 a threat to Xi Lei.

RT: That’s right.

Feng Ming feeling powerless, he simply fell within Rong Tian’s embrace.

FM: Rong Tian, that time when Miao Guang came to Xi Lei Palace, you spared her because of me, right?

RT: No.

FM: You lied to me.

 RT: That was my own decision.

 FM: It was me who had affected your decision, am I right?

Lie Er and Rong Hu looked at each other, they knew this didn’t involved them so they silently left.

RT: Feng Ming, look up at me. What are you thinking inside that little head of yours? FM: Rong Tian...

RT: I’m here.

 FM: If I wasn’t soft-hearted, then this harmful Miao Guang wouldn’t be left behind, right?

RT: Feng Ming, let’s see...Miao Guang is Ruo Yan’s little sister, the princess of Li Kingdom, she cannot be compared to a single strand of hair on your head..

FM: But right now, she is not only the little sister of Ruo Yan, Princess of Li Kingdom, but is Princess consort of Bo Qin, future Queen of Bo Jian.

RT: Even though her status might changed, her power might be stronger than before, but... (nibbled at Feng Ming’s soft pinky) she cannot compare to one finger of yours.

FM: Is my finger worth more than a Queen? RT: Of course.

FM: Rong Tian...

RT: What is it?

FM: You bit my finger so hard it hurts! (Feng Ming stared at him)

RT: (laughed and whispered) It’s been a long time since I got a taste of Duke Ming, oh, your finger smells good.

Feng Ming wanted to bite back at Rong Tian’s ears but suddenly loud noises of hoofs came from outside the carriage. There were about at least a hundred or so soldiers coming from a

 distance towards them that cause the earth to tremble beneath.

“Princess of Li Kingdom, Miao Guang has arrived! Hurry and open the gates to welcome Her Royal Highness!”

Rong Tian lifted the corner of curtain, looking from afar he sneered.

RT: what a glorious welcome for Princess Miao Guang...Ah, she and Bo Qin have not officially married yet, but Bo Jian has elevated her status to become equivalent to that of a royal family, it seems that a wedding has been agreed upon.

Feng Ming quickly glanced outside, lifting the sleeve of Rong Tian.

 FM: I suddenly remember something.

 RT: Is it the fact that Miao Guang is the future Queen of Bo Jian so why would she personally come to a small city within the borders of Bo Jian to meet up?

Even Feng Ming had to admire Rong Tian as he glanced up at him. FM: Sometimes I wondered if you are a worm in my stomach.

Rong Tian chuckled: “It’s not the stomach.” His long finger gently pointed at Feng Ming’s chest and whispered, “I’m right here.”

Feng Ming whined that Rong Tian hasn’t answered the question as to why Miao Guang would

 come to a small city in Bo Jian for. Rong Tian tells Feng Ming that he still hasn’t come up with an answer as to why Miao Guang would come to Han Gui for. He then switched the topic and asked Feng Ming why he has been suspicious of many things.

FM: Who told you to have a 180 degree change in attitude, of course I have to be cranky. RT: Ah, it’s been a long time since we’ve done ...that together in one place thing.

FM: Rong Tian!

Feng Ming was about to give him an elbow when Rong Tian suddenly said, “Be silent.”

They looked outside, the group of carriages finally arrived, all line up in one row. More than a dozen servants gathered around Miao Guang when she stepped down from the front of the carriage. More than a hundred guards with swords followed behind. The surrounding civilians watch a little bit closer, but was warned by a sound of a whip to move aside.

Rong Tian quietly observed Miao Guang’s every move. Feng Ming also noticed that the guards escorting her were wearing Bo Jian’s palace guard uniform and thought that was strange since palace guards are usually responsible in protecting Bo Jian King, the Great King himself.

Rong Tian stressed that Bo Jian King takes the matter of protecting this future Queen very seriously.

Feng Ming noticed that Rong Tian’s face suddenly darkened and asked him why.

 RT: I just saw a familiar face within the crowd of guards. FM: Who?

RT: Take a guess.

FM: I have to guess? ...Your Majesty Xi Lei King, I already know that I’m not as smart as you, don’t use this method to hurt my self-esteem. How am I supposed to know how many people you know within the 11 kingdoms?

 RT: You need to use your brain more often, don’t forget; you are currently Xi Lei Duke Ming, the

 well-known intelligent person.

FM: My brain is tired....unless there is a prize.

RT: You want a prize for this? Fine, what do you want?

FM: If I guess correctly, then tonight I get to hold you.

RT: If you guess wrong, then in the future I get to decide who holds who. Feng Ming made a bitter face and hesitated for a long time before replying.

 FM: Fine, let’s do it. However, you can’t turn your back on it, let’s take an oath.

RT: I also don’t like it when Duke Ming shamelessly plays dirty.

They clapped three times.

RT: Alright, take a guess, who did I see? I’ll let you guess three times, if after three times you got them wrong, then you have to comply to your promise and not go back on it.

FM: Putting out a hard problem like this and only three guesses. Ah....a familiar person you saw within the crowd, could that person be...that person be...

Feng Ming deliberately frown for a long time and suddenly laughed like he already figured it out.

FM: It’s the Great King of Tong Kingdom, Qing Ding, am I right?

RT: (surprised) How did you figure it out that it is him?

FM: Because I also saw him within those people, the disguise of Tong Kingdom is not very good, very far from the crafty disguise skills of Miao Guang.

RT: Has your eyesight progressed that much? But you have never met Qing Ding, how did you know it was him?

Feng Ming won the bet and went back inside to bow down at Rong Tian.

FM: Thank you Your Majesty for sending Rong Hu to be my teacher. He formerly taught me

 about each of the eleven kingdoms and forced me to memorize each kingdom’s monarch portrait in my head. Haha, my precious little Rong Tian, tonight I will love you dearly.

RT: That prize...

FM: No, you can’t go back on your words! You can’t! Come here, my darling Rong Tian, let me give you kiss....

While they were fooling around, the two carriages started moving slowly. RH: Miao Guang has entered the city, the city gate is now opened.

 RT: First, find a place to stay; afterwards send someone to inquire about Miao Guang’s

 whereabouts. RH: Understood.

FM: Hold on, Rong Hu. Since we’re staying overnight in Han Gui, you have to remember to find the most classiest inn, pay for the most luxurious and ...Forget it, Han Gui is a small city, I’m afraid there won’t be a first class inn. It doesn’t matter, anything is okay but the most important is to find one with a comfortable bed...Ow!

Feng Ming was interrupted by someone pinching his ears again.

 LE: Duke Ming, why are you suddenly in a happy mood?

Feng Ming got his ear pinched by Rong Tian again and so he didn’t dare to tell the truth.

FM: I was just thinking of after leaving Han Gui, we’ll be entering Yong Yin and will soon meet Chiu Lan and the rest of them again. I really missed Chiu Lan.

LE: Duke Ming can miss Chiu Yue and Chiu Xing, but let someone else miss Chiu Lan. Oi!

Didn’t know when Rong Hu switched to the other side of carriage, but he mercilessly slapped Lie Er’s behind with his scabbard as a warning.

“The gate is opened!”

The people that had been waiting outside of the gate rushed inside.

This small city near the border of Bo Jian probably had never had many well-known figures gathered in one area.

Chapter 2

 After searching for half an hour, Lie Er finally found an inn that said they were high class; however, it wasn’t quite high class at all and not even decent enough. Judging by how busy the

 city was and with so many people entering it would be hard for them to find another inn.

Feng Ming asked Lie Er where’s Rong Hu and Lie Er stated that his brother is outside buying a few things and will quickly come back.

Feng Ming understood that Rong Hu is probably inquiring a few things and didn’t ask more. He went inside the room and told Rong Tian that he’s hungry.

Rong Tian said it’s still early, Lie Er said it’s the afternoon, and Feng Ming just said that if they finish eating then they could sleep afterwards.

Feng Ming saw that the corner of Rong Tian’s mouth curved upward and asked.

 FM: What are you secretly smiling about? You already promised me, you can’t take it back.

 RT: (laughed) I was just happy. Traveling for so long and you’re still energetic like this; it goes to show that after leaving Dong Fan, your body has become quite healthier.

Lie Er brought the food over and set it up for them. Seeing Feng Ming winked at him several times to give a signal, not knowing the real truth behind it, he immediately said, “I’ll take my leave now.”

After heading out of the door, Lie Er told two of the guards, “I’ll be heading out a bit. Carefully guard and don’t make any mistake.” Walking two steps forward, he turned back, lowered his voice and said, “If you hear anything strange on the inside, don’t mind it.”

 Those guards have been serving Rong Tian for several years so they understood the absurd relationship between Rong Tian and Feng Ming. They replied, revealing a knowing smile, “Well, the horse carriage is not as comfortable as the bed.”

LE: When Duke Ming comes out, you have to put on a natural face like you don’t know anything, his face is tender (meaning easy to blush and be embarrassed).

“No need to ask.”

All of them giggled a bit before Lie Er turned and walked away.

After finishing their afternoon meal and getting rid of Lie Er, Feng Ming looked around room with only just Rong Tian and the large bed, Feng Ming was so excited his pores were like singing. He looked up and down Rong Tian just like a big wolf staring at a little rabbit.

But Rong Tian was not a little rabbit, he smiled and stood there allowing Feng Ming to stare at him.

RT: If you want to look, then I’ll let you see everything.

Standing in front of the windows, he closed them; turning around to face Feng Ming, his hands started removing his waistband.

When a beautiful person undress it’s very alluring, however when a handsome man undress, the allurement is overwhelming. Rong Tian readily threw the waistband next to his feet, he

 gently pulled the strap that was tied to his cloak and let it float softly to the ground. Feng Ming watched his fingers unlock the buttons, freeing each one each one in an elegant way that seemed hard for anyone to breathe naturally.

Every movement that Rong Tian made was like a slow paced dance, very leisurely but not losing a bit of masculine beauty, yet bringing about temptation to the person viewing him.

The figure that the Gods had meticulously carved out, the piercing black eyes, slender fingers, together with the shapely neck muscles and shoulders that emerged from beneath the robes, created a thrilling temptation trap.

  The world’s most simplest stripping and yet when he did it, it was no longer a simple stripe show but became a form of art. At first, Feng Ming’s heart was pounding like a frighten Mustang, but gradually it was like he was drugged by anesthetic and didn’t know where he was. He thought to himself: the world is big and yet I am the only one who can see Rong Tian like this, for him I am the same.

Before long, all the clothes on top were removed, Rong Tian’s masculine bare chest was

 revealed.

He saw that Feng Ming’s eyes were widened and that he couldn’t utter a single word, Rong Tian softly said.

RT: Take it easy, the best is yet to come. (reaching his hands out to untie the strap on his trousers.)

FM: Ah!

Feng Ming seemed to awaken from his lovely dream and shouted out. FM: No! You can’t!

 Feng Ming charged towards Rong Tian and in the moment of emotional outburst, his feet

 weren’t steady but luckily Rong Tian pulled him back up.

FM: It’s your fault, every time you’re always the one stripping my clothes, making me confused and I always agree to remove my clothes. This time no matter what, I have to remove your clothes.

While complaining, Feng Ming tried to pull Rong Tian’s strap and while crunching for awhile with sweat on his forehead, he impatiently said.

FM: This knot was always easy to untie, how come today it’s so hard? So hateful! So hateful! Rong Tian saw Feng Ming fighting with his strap filled with determination, he couldn’t help but

 laughed and lend a helping hand.

RT: First thing, let’s make it clear, if you want to hold me, you have to make me feel satisfied.

FM: Of course.

RT: There won’t be something where I’m not satisfied and yet you’re already tired, alright?

FM: Definitely not. Haha!

Feng Ming suddenly lightened up, he looked up and announced: “It’s removed!”

As his fingertips moved, the trousers along with the strap fell to the ground.

On Rong Tian’s body was only a pair of shorts, but without feeling shy, he openly allowed Feng Ming to enjoy.

FM: You don’t have to worry, I will definitely take good care of you, let you be completely satisfied.

RT: That’s good. (Rong Tian spread his arms) First thing, carry me to bed.

FM: (surprised) What?

RT: When I took the initiative, wasn’t I always considerate and carry you to bed?

 Every word Rong Tian said was true, making Feng Ming grimace inside.

Since he said that he will satisfy Rong Tian then he must be gentle and considerate. Once a word of Duke Ming has been spoken, it cannot be taken back.

  After Feng Ming “dragged” Rong Tian onto the bed and was panting hard, without even a chance to get a kiss, Rong Tian said: “I want to drink water.”

This person didn’t learn all the good things, but yet learned to imitate Feng Ming’s spoiled behavior perfectly.

Feng Ming was about to get angry, but remembered that since he agreed to be gentle and considerate, he held it in.

 FM: Can you wait until we’re done to drink?

RT: No, no. I want to drink water. I want you to give it to me mouth to mouth. Feng Ming jumped up and shouted.

FM: Hey, I have never mentioned such request before.

Rong Tian immediately put on a sincere look and said.

RT: You can make this request in the future; I will definitely feed you willingly.

 Feng Ming’s face was bright red, but he had to fulfill his lover’s wish. He stared ferociously at

 Rong Tian and stood up to get water. Just as he turned around, his arms were held back by Rong Tian.

RT: Enough. I can’t imitate the cute whiny behavior of yours. If you want to hold me, then hold me to your heart content. Just next time, remember my grievances and understand me a bit.

Feng Ming straightened himself, suddenly cheering loudly and smiling brightly, he jumped onto the bed.

FM: Rong Tian is the best, I love you the most.

 The slick slender body is now officially like a fish on a platter.

Just a touch was intoxicating, only a faint touch of the tip of tongue savoring the unique salty taste of Rong Tian’s skin was more ecstatic than being within the heavens of the Gods.

The heavy breathing continued to ring out, after a long time, there was a soft whisper. “Do you like me?”

“I do.”

“Do you love me?”

“I do.”

“Are you going to listen to my words?”

“I will.”

Rong Tian stroked Feng Ming’s back with his hands. He closed his eyes to enjoy the nice smooth skin of his partner.

RT: Hearing how you obediently reply to me like that, should I let you hold me more often? FM: Of course! Of course (nodding like crazy )

RT: Good, then, I’ll let you hold me one more time. What position do you like, your choice?

 FM: Still more? We’ve done it many times already.

Feng Ming was paralyzed on top of Rong Tian, on Rong Tian’s chest appeared many hickeys. RT: The number of times I was erect were only a few fingers.

FM: But my back hurts.

Rong Tian opened his eyes and said sadly.

RT: I’ll help you rub it.

He placed Feng Ming gently onto the bed and his big hand placed over his waist: “Is it here?”

 FM: Ah...

 Rong Tian’s skill was very good, having him rubbed the area made Feng Ming a bit more comfortable that he became excited.

FM: That’s the spot, use a bit more force.

RT: Can I also rub here? Turn around and don’t move. FM: Alright.

 In the late afternoon, Lie Er came back to report the news regarding their journey to Yong Yin.

 LE: Yong Yi has arranged for people to wait for us at the border of Yong Yin. Your Majesty secret troops have also followed your orders and came to Yong Yin already, as long as we reunite, there shouldn’t be any problems. Even if that Tong Er knows that Your Majesty is still alive, he will need to increase his own troops if he wants to deal with us.

When he finished, Lie Er glanced over at the mess on the bed and faced Feng Ming, giggling. LE: Congratulations Duke Ming, your afternoon nap must be comfortable and satisfying. Feng Ming gave Lie Er a strange look. Lie Er appeared surprised and whispered to ask.

LE: What’s wrong? You didn’t have a good afternoon nap?

FM: I did sleep.

He shook his head and let out a sigh, he wanted to say more, but only blurt out a few words.

FM: But in the end....

LE: What happened in the end?

FM: In the end... I just turned over a bit ... (he closed his mouth and his two cheeks blushed red)

Lie Er was really quick-witted and already saw Rong Tian’s grin like a fox that was just full. He

 understood half of it and gave Feng Ming a sympathetic expression while respectfully saying. LE: Duke Ming must always remember this lesson well, next time don’t turn your back.

Lie Er was laughing hard inside.

FM: This matter, don’t let Rong Hu know.

Just when he finished speaking, the door of the room burst opened. Rong Hu, covered in sweat walked in, seeing Rong Tian there he decided to tell them.

RH: The group of spies we sent to Bo Jian to investigate had just arrived in Han Gui. The one in charged reported that Miao Guang formally promised to marry Bo Qin, causing Bo Jian to be in

 a complete mess. Right now, the royal family of Bo Jian is watching the development of the

 current situation. Miao Guang’s trip to Han Gui this time, on the outside it seems that she is buying silk for her wedding, but everyone knows that this is false. With her status, she could have send for every silk suppliers out there to come to Bo Jian’s capital instead.

RT: For her to come here, it must be related to Qing Ding of Tong Kingdom. Does one little Miao Guang think that she can shake the foundation of Xi Lei?

LE: The troops of Li Kingdom is not weak, also Bo Jian and Tong Kingdom are a big threat to Xi Lei. Your Majesty should never underestimate the enemy.

Feng Ming moved to the chair behind Rong Tian and sat down, one hand gently pressing on

 Rong Tian’s shoulder. He thought for a moment and then said.

FM: The enemies of Li Kingdom, other than Xi Lei, there is Fan Jia. Xi Lei is an enemy for many years, but the main enemy in front of them is Fan Jia King – Long Tian. Long Tian was originally a pawn of Ruo Yan used to seize the throne of Fan Jia. He was being controlled by Ruo Yan’s poison and didn’t dare to make a move. Right now, Ruo Yan is like a dead person, and the possibility of Physician Yi curing his (LT) poison is high. Taking into account of Long Tian’s ambition, I don’t believe that he would be willing to take orders like a puppet for Li Kingdom.

“That’s right, Miao Guang’s agreement to Bo Qin’s marriage must have been a last resort compromise. Because of that, if Li Kingdom does not handle the relationship well with Bo Jian, then once Long Tian attacks Li Kingdom, Li Kingdom might fall into a dangerous situation with two enemies from both ends.”

RT: (asked Rong Hu) Did you find any news about Fan Jia’s Third Princess?

Fan Jia’s Third Princess was the wife of the former Xi Lei King’s little brother. If looking at her status, she would be considered an Aunt to Rong Tian. Because her husband suddenly died in the palace of Xi Lei, in order to avoid the good relationship between Fan Jia and Xi Lei to suffer, Feng Ming was forced to impersonate the Crown Prince of Xi Lei and acted as an envoy to Fan Jia, bringing Third Princess Fan Zhi to the capital of Xi Lei to be cherished.

Unexpectedly, after that, Fan Jia’s Third Princess conspired with her lover, Bo Ling. Took advantage of Feng Ming’s compassion and kidnapped him to Bo Jian, becoming a bargaining

 chip for Bo Ling to become the Prince of Bo Jian.

RH: In the beginning, Miao Guang’s departure from Li Kingdom to Bo Jian was a secretive trip. Even the royal family among the vast majority of people did not know about it until Bo Jian King gave a formal decree, announcing that Bo Jian and Li Kingdom are in alliance. It was then that our people realized Miao Guang’s first move of action. She secretly intended to dispose of any royal member that most likely opposed the relationship between Li Kingdom and Bo Jian. The first few people were Fourth Prince Bo Ling and Fan Jia’s Third Princess.

FM: So how’s the search for them? They didn’t try to deal with Miao Guang did they?

 RH: (shook his head) It’s too late, we couldn’t find a trace of them. It seems as if they suddenly

 disappeared into thin air.

LE: That’s obvious of course. Secretly setting a trap and then making a sudden attack. Eliminating the enemies in a mysterious way, that is the forte of Miao Guang. These two prideful people, wishing to reach for the Bo Jian throne, even though their status is of royalty, but they don’t have much power. With Miao Guang and Bo Jian King’s forces combined, wouldn’t it be easy to deal with them (Bo Ling/Third Princess)?

“Under such circumstances, I’m afraid that they have been murdered.”

FM: (feeling sad) If they have been killed, then shouldn’t there be at least some shocking news.

 Even though Bo Ling is not the Queen’s child, but he is a prince after all.

RH: Because of Bo Ling’s status as a Prince and Third Princess’s identities are sensitive, their deaths would be secretive and their bodies would be cleanly disposed of. If not, the whole kingdom would have been in shock, the charges for killing the brother of Bo Qin, the future heir to the throne of Bo Jian will be very detrimental. (seeing Feng Ming’s sad expression, he tried to say something comforting) Everything is just our guess, if someone were to secretly help them escape then maybe they are still alive.

LE: What about the two other Princes who are also very interested in the Crown Prince’s position?

RH: Those two Princes have recently claimed to be studying hard and locked themselves within their residences without showing themselves. Whether they have been killed or under house arrest, we still don’t know.

LE: (looked over at Rong Tian) Your Majesty is still silent and not saying anything. Is there something wrong with our discussion?

FM: All the things that we’ve said, did you hear them all or not? Does Third Princess and Bo Ling have a chance?

Rong Tian was thinking hard about a problem that was difficult to solve. His pupils look at Feng Ming, his facial expression twitched and he suddenly stood up.

 All three of them were startled by his action. “What’s wrong?” RT: Immediately pack up.

LE: Your Majesty if we are to leave right now, then tonight we have to spend the night outside. The number of guards are very little, in case we are attacked outside...

RT: I said immediately pack up and leave Han Gui. RH: Understood!

The door was opened and they acted quickly.

 They all left the horse carriage and rode off at full speed to Yong Yin on horseback. Riding for

 half an hour, they stopped.

FM: (talking to Rong Tian) I love to ride horses, but I still wish you tell us why you rather ride horses than stay comfortably in the inn?

LE: Does Your Majesty notice something is unsafe within Han Gui?

RT: Lie Er is more intelligent than Feng Ming.

Feng Ming was angry.

LE: But Lie Er is still not clear, how does Your Majesty know that Han Gui is unsafe?

 RH: That’s right. I’ve inquired into the circumstances and head back, I was carefully observing guards and everything within the city. Other than Miao Guang’s sudden arrival, there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.

RT: Did you assigned people to monitor every movements of Miao Guang?

RH: (nodded his head) Of course. The person that came to Han Gui today was familiar with the guards of Bo Jian. I ordered him to not return to Punta, but to monitor Miao Guang’s every move.

RT: I ordered for us to leave Han Gui immediately because Han Gui will impose a martial law, every room in the city will be raided.

FM: How do you know? Don’t tell me it’s just your intuition.

RH: Your Majesty must have seen a flaw somewhere and knew clearly there was a hidden scheme.

LE: (nodded forcefully) Your Majesty sure has thought far (intelligent). FM: Don’t be secretive like this, hurry and tell me what’s going on?

RT: Qing Ding had to sneak into Han Gui, which means that Miao Guang is in connection with Tong Kingdom, and Bo Jian King doesn’t know?

 FM: Ah, he doesn’t know.

RT: Miao Guang will not stay long in Han Gui so their meeting should tonight.

RH: That’s right. I’ve also presume that as well.

RT: Miao Guang is surrounded by Bo Jian King’s bodyguards. She must escape from the guards in order to meet up with Qing Ding.

LE: That’s true!

Feng Ming looked left at Rong Hu and right at Lie Er, he muffled.

 FM: Why do you two have a calm expression of understanding? He still hasn’t let us know why

 Han Gui will have a martial law.

RH: Duke Ming, if the bodies of Tong Kingdom King, Qing Ding and Li Kingdom Princess Miao Guang were found within the city of Han Gui, Han Gui’s martial law will go into effect.

FM: (looked over at Rong Tian) You aren’t intending on doing something stupid, are you?

Rong Tian smiled without saying a word.

FM: (looked over at Lie Er) If we head to Yong Yin we will be safe, then recapture Xi Lei and then send our troops to deal with them, wouldn’t that be great? Doing this is very dangerous!

 LE: Miao Guang and Qing Ding are secretly meeting up, there will not be a lot of guards around them, if they die, Tong Kingdom and Li Kingdom will condemn Bo Jian. The biggest enemy alliance to Xi Lei will be immediately neutralized. We have run into this wonderful opportunity, it’s too tempting to resist not assassinating them.

Once he finished, Lie Er even pull out his tongue and licked his lips as if the assassination of these two were a delicacy.

CHAPTER 3

 Even though Miao Guang and Qing Ding were not good people, but to take advantage of their meeting to assassinate them and provoking the relationship among the kingdoms, this was something Feng Ming did not concur to.

Feng Ming was going to say more but someone suddenly tapped his shoulders, in which he turned around.

RH: Duke Ming please come with me, let’s us talk privately. The two of them rode their horses to a private place.

 FM: Didn’t you have something to say?

Rong Hu was stalling and didn’t say anything until Feng Ming yelled at him several times. RH: Duke Ming feels that we should not assassinate Miao Guang and Qing Ding, am I right?

FM: This...I know that with national issues one cannot be kindhearted, but Miao Guang just wants to protect her country, her situation is pitiful and not to mention, assassination is a dirty method.

 RH: If the assassination was planned tonight, would Duke Ming prevent the Great King from

 being involved?

FM: That is of course. If he’s in danger, I will...what will happen to Xi Lei then? A King should not create danger for himself, there should be no reason to put his life at risk.

RH: If the Great King was persistent in killing Qing Ding himself, and refused to change his mind, will Duke Ming be willing to stay behind and wait for His Majesty to return?

FM: (shook his head) How can I? Wherever he goes, I have to go along with him! Although I’ve said it already, I’ll say it again, I’m still not in favor of assassination, this behavior...

RH: I want to ask Duke Ming, you must be aware that Tong Kingdom had been taunting us at

 the borders, causing Xi Lei to annually waste a lot of military strength? Feng Ming was in shock, he didn’t know this.

RH: Does Duke Ming clearly know about this?

FM: I ....didn’t.

RH: If Xi Lei were to go against these countries on the battlefields, do you know how many soldiers of Xi Lei will die?

FM: I.... many...

RH: The assassination plan is a hasty decision; the enemies are within the city, the situation unclear, it’s best to have a commander present. This matter puts everything at stake, we will soon be able to join forces in Yong Yin and punish the Tong family to take back the throne. If His Majesty were to bring assassins to kill Qing Ding and Miao Guang in time to clear rumors of his death, not only will the enemy kingdoms dissolve, it can rebuild His Majesty’s image, allowing the people of Xi Lei to wish for his return. That time, recapturing Xi Lei will not sacrifice many lives. With the circumstances like that, does Duke Ming still want to prevent the Great King from bringing assassins into Han Gui?

FM: I’ll follow him back to Han Gui then.

RH: Your status is special Duke Ming, and your swordsmanship is not the best like those elite

 guards next to His Majesty.

FM: Even if my swordsmanship is not the best, I can still help out.

RH: Does Duke Ming guarantee that His Majesty will not be distracted by you? FM: ....

RH: There are a lot of things, even Duke Ming will understand the reason behind them. It is that the heart usually goes against the mind. This is a human weakness, the mind usually knows what to do, but in the end the person always chooses the wrong approach.

 FM: I know what you say is right, but for me to stay here, feeling uneasy and waiting for Rong

 Tian’s news, that is a torment to me.

RH: Does that mean that Duke Ming is willing to be separated with His Majesty temporarily, let His Majesty personally carry out the assassination plan?

FM: (nodded his head, shook his head, and let a sigh) What to do? Even if I were to agree with you, I’m just afraid that when I see him leave I will run after him and refuse to leave until he brings me along. To prevent oneself is very hard.

RH: Duke Ming still doesn’t realize why I have brought you out here for, right?

 The corner of Rong Hu’s mouth revealed a relieved smile. RH: His Majesty already left with Lie Er and half the troops.

Feng Ming was surprised, he took his horse and rode back onto the small slope. Sure enough, Rong Tian and Lie Er were no longer there. Mian Ya, who was in charge of the rest of the troops that were left behind greeted Feng Ming.

MY: His Majesty ordered me to tell Duke Ming that they will return shortly and for us to wait here, no need to worry.

Rong Tian’s actual words were for Feng Ming to “obediently wait here” but Mian Ya didn’t dare to say that to Feng Ming and so he voluntarily removed the word “obediently.”

FM: How can that be! This damn hateful Rong Hu, I was almost scared half to death. RH: Duke Ming believes that I am hateful, but did I do anything wrong?

Feng Ming glanced over at him.

RH: I have served His Majesty every since he was young and have never seen him hold an important place for anyone. Ever since His Majesty had Duke Ming, he became very happy, because of this, I have swore to use this life of mine to protect Duke Ming.

He turned to face Feng Ming.

 RH: There is something I have kept inside for a long time, does Duke Ming want to hear it? FM: Go ahead, I’m listening.

RH: Duke Ming might be the person that His Majesty love the most, and the person that understands His Majesty most is also Duke Ming. In Duke Ming’s eyes, Rong Tian is just Rong Tian. But in reality, Rong Tian from top to bottom is the Great King, during the most important time, he is not Rong Tian, he is a King. Loving a King is not an easy thing, Duke Ming will have a hard time distinguishing between personal and public affairs. If Duke Ming cannot distinguish between personal and public affairs, then it will affect His Majesty’s choice when dealing with

 personal and public affairs. That day when Princess Miao Guang safely left Xi Lei was because

 she pass through this loophole.

FM: What should I do then?

RH: Does Duke Ming really want to hear my answer?

FM: Just tell me.

RH: Alright. I request that Duke Ming remember my words – only Xi Lei King is allow to decide the fate of Xi Lei, only His Majesty has the right decisions.

Feng Ming finally understood why Rong Hu chose to say these words before they return to Xi

 Lei.

He cannot challenge the King’s decision, no matter who it is, even Feng Ming, cannot make the decision for Rong Tian.

He is the King.

If he wants to go to war, then it’s war, if he wants peace, then it’s peace.

Feng Ming rode his horse down the slope and found a rock to sit on.

Rong Hu’s worries weren’t without reason, when Rong Tian deals with state affairs, he should not be affected by his comments.

Just like the U.S. president dealing with defense issues, he will also not hold the first lady’s opinion into the decision making.

He belongs to Rong Tian.

But does Rong Tian belong to him?

FM: That is the problem of love...being involved with politics just leaves a person with more headaches. Does that mean that whenever Rong Tian does anything dangerous, or if he decided to place me somewhere, I have to obediently obey him?

Feng Ming looked up and saw Rong Hu.

 FM: You don’t have to say anymore, I will think about everything you said carefully. Even though my thinking in the past was different, you still need to give me some time to change. By the way, you are not always going to put on a stern face to lecture me from now on are you?

RH: Why would I dare to lecture Duke Ming? I’m here to inform Duke Ming what we found while in the Han Gui...

Before finishing, Mian Ya came down from the slope and reported that they have returned and are on their way back.

Both Feng Ming and Rong Hu were surprised and rush to them.

 RT: I was planning on quietly embracing you from you behind to surprise you, but you have

 spotted me first.

Lie Er was riding behind Rong Tian and winked at Feng Ming.

Feng Ming cheered loudly and jumped onto the horse, Rong Tian gave a deliberate scream, held onto Feng Ming and they went off the horse rolling two times onto the grass, laughing.

RT: This is the way Duke Ming welcomes me?

FM: Why is so fast? I thought that you might come back after two hours at least.

Rong Hu also saw that they all came back in one piece without any trace of hard fought battle.

 RH: Was the plan canceled? Or did something else happen?

LE: Indeed something happened. An unexpected turn of events. We did not even reach Han Gui when we received news that the martial law was in effect. As a result, we head back without even entering the city.

FM: Could it be that the news was leaked? Miao Guang was aware. RT: I’ll give you....one more chance.

FM: I really can’t figure out the reason. Don’t tell me before you all entered the city of Han Gui, someone else already killed Qing Ding and Miao Guang? Who would be bold enough to do that?

LE: Haha! (clapped his hands) Duke Ming indeed is Duke Ming. A hard to guess answer like that and yet you’ve guess correctly.

FM: What? How is that possible? FM/RH: Who was it?

LE: (shook his head) We just heard the news and immediately head back. Who did it, who’s behind it, no one knows right now.

RT: Don’t know who that person is, but his thoughts are just like mine. The specific

 circumstances behind it, I’ll send people to inquire about, let us continue our journey to avoid encountering the troops of assassin in Han Gui.

RH: That’s right. If we were mistaken for to be the assassins, wouldn’t we be wrongly accused?

FM: My horse! When I heard of your return, I reacted quickly and forgot to bring the horse while running here. I’ll go get it.

Before he could take a step after turning around, Rong Tian already held him back. Feng Ming looked back at Rong Tian.

RT: Are you angry?

 FM: (confused) What for?

 RT: I made Rong Hu hold you back and didn’t bring you along. You’re not angry with me? FM: Ah...I’m not, you didn’t trick me to go fool around in brothel, so what’s there to be angry? RT: You’re really not angry?

FM: I’m not.

RT: Even being a bit upset, you’re not?

FM: I am not that narrow minded. I’ll go get the horse.

 Rong Tian glanced over at Lie Er, but Lie Er just scratched his head and felt puzzled. Basically, they were both confused as to why Feng Ming seemed to be so understanding all of a sudden.

While riding a bit, Feng Ming told Rong Tian that he is tired and want him to hold him. Rong Tian chuckled and moved closer to him, carried Feng Ming off his horse and onto his.

RT: Rest on my chest, I guarantee that you’ll rest comfortably.

There was another guard that followed quickly behind and took in Feng Ming’s horse.

Lie Er asked Rong Hu what happened to Feng Ming.

RH: What can I say, I just told him about the current situation, hoping that Duke Ming will understand His Majesty’s difficulties.

LE: What else?

RH: Is there something else? How can I talk to Duke Ming casually?

Lie Er frowned skeptically.

LE: But today, His Majesty left behind Duke Ming and Duke Ming did not made one complaint, making other people feel very strange.

RH: Duke Ming had always been reasonable.

 LE: Really?

RH: Isn’t that so?

LE: Is that so....

Rong Hu looked over at Lie Er under the moonlight, the corner of his mouth revealed a faint smile.

That Yong Yi, he must be anxiously waiting at the borders of Yong Yin.

CHAPTER 4

 They finally reached the borders of Yong Yin. Feng Ming was still lying asleep within Rong Tian’s embrace.

They joined up with the other the troops. Rong Tian was afraid that the noises might wake Feng Ming and was about to give a signal for them to quiet down, but Chiu Yue and Chiu Xing notice the immobilized Feng Ming in Rong Tian’s arms and started shaking him and asking what happened to him.

Before Rong Tian could explain anything, Chiu Lan rushed forth and started crying, believing that something bad happened to Duke Ming.

 Feng Ming was sleeping soundly, but when hearing the sound of someone crying next to his ears and being pulled by another, he had to wake from his beautiful dream. With his half-closed eyes, he muttered as he frowned.

FM: Knock it off...the day is still early, kind-hearted Chiu Lan, let me sleep a bit more.... When Chiu Xing heard him speak, she was shock and then overjoyed.

CX: Duke Ming is okay! Duke Ming is alright!

Feng Ming was still dazing off until he noticed Chiu Lan and had his eyes wide opened that he excitedly screamed out and bounced up from where he was. Rong Tian was caught off guard and almost dropped Feng Ming.

Everyone was happy, Chiu Lan was crying tears of joy as for Chiu Xing and Chiu Lan, they looked over at Lie Er and scolded him for not telling them earlier that Feng Ming was alright.

LE: How can I explain? I didn’t even get a chance to open my mouth...

“Lie Er!” A sudden shout was heard and the sound of horse galloping was heading towards them. The person on the horse was trembling all over with excitement, his horse grazed next to Lie Er and that person held his hand out to grab Lie Er.

Lie Er’s eyes suddenly lit up, he didn’t avoid that person’s hand and immediately jumped from

 his horse over to the other person’s.

The two people sitting on the horse, one was Lie Er, and the other person of course was Prince of Yong Yin, Yong Yi.

They both sat on the horse and gave the other a soft intimate kiss. Yong Yi didn’t pay any attention to Rong Tian, only focused his attention on Lie Er: “Lie Er, Lie Er, Lie Er...”

Lie Er rolled his eyes.

LE: I went through many hardships and just came back, but yet you didn’t even ask if I was injured or anything.

 YY: You’re injured? Where?

 Yong Yi anxiously stroked his hands all over Lie Er, not even showing the slightest appearance of a Crown Prince of Yong Yin.

Being touched all over the place by Yong Yi, Lie Er felt ticklish and couldn’t stop laughing, he begged for mercy.

LE: I lied, I’m not injured. Yong Yi stop touching now!

As for Feng Ming, he was surrounded by Chiu Lan and them and they wouldn’t stop crying, so he also begged for mercy.

 FM: My body is all better, my head is also better too. Everything is fine, so please don’t cry anymore.

RT: Everyone has travel for a long distance, must all be tired, let us first return to the campsite.

So everyone grabbed a horse to return. Even though Lie Er had a horse of his own, Yong Yi refused to let him ride alone. Chiu Xing and Chiu Yue decided to ride together on a horse, leaving poor Chiu Lan feeling alone.

In that moment, Rong Hu grabbed hold of Chiu Lan by the waist and carried her onto his horse, resting her back on his oven hot chest.

RH: Duke Ming is hungry, let our horse rush full speed back to the campsite. You are unfamiliar with horseback riding so ride along with me, alright?

CX/CY: Rong Hu is so manly! (applauded loudly at them)

Lie Er faced Rong Hu and started whistling, then turned his head towards Yong Yi and gave him a sweet smile causing Yong Yi’s heart to skip a beat.

Rong Tian holding Feng Ming, laughed out.

RT: That’s right, this is my order. I will give the order that from now on when there’s a time we need to ride horses, Rong Hu will protect Chiu Lan at all cost, without any mistake.

Rong Tian whipped the horse, shouted loudly and took the lead heading straight to the

 campsite. Everyone followed behind leaving a huge dust bowl.

Chiu Lan’s cheeks were flushed red with embarrassment, she elbowed Rong Hu in the chest and whispered: “Why aren’t you going?”

RH: It seems that if I brought you along and catch up to them, then we’ll be leaving behind Lie Er, Chiu Xing, and Chiu Yue.

However, Rong Hu quickly caught up to Feng Ming and Rong Tian.

FM: Where’s the campsite? Is Empress Dowager already there ahead of us?

 RT: Empress Dowager separated with us halfway through the trip. She didn’t cross Bo Jian so

 she’s probably there four days ago. The campsite is within a beautiful valley within/along Aman River. Once we get there, I guarantee you will love it. However...there’s...

The wind was loud and rustling at Feng Ming’s ears that he couldn’t hear Rong Tian’s last few words. While resting within Rong Tian’s embrace, his hands were idle so he stroked both of Rong Tian’s thighs.

Rong Tian’s pupils dilated and he tried to restrain himself.

RT: Feng Ming, do you want me to pull the horse over and punish you right on the spot? Feng Ming turned around and saw Rong Tian’s eyes emitted flames of desire and knew his

 teasing was too far, stick out his tongue and quickly withdrew his hands and held onto the horse’s mane.

At the same time, Rong Hu pulled up beside Rong Tian and told him.

RH: Prince Yong Yi said that he and Lie Er have something to talk about, a little later they will follow back to the campsite.

Feng Ming and Rong Tian almost had a moment of passion and now it seems that Yong Yi must have found somewhere to “punish” Lie Er at the spot.

Feng Ming thought: That Yong Yi seems to be a nice person, yet it seems that he is more of a sex addict than Rong Tian.

Just when he looked up, he met with Rong Tian’s pensive eyes, he suddenly was alarmed and severely warned Rong Tian.

FM: You better not have any crazy ideas, I won’t agree to it even if you kill me.

Rong Tian made a sad sorrowful expression.

RT: Fine, luckily the campsite is not far from here. (He lowered his head and gave a quick kiss)

Soon they came upon the entrance to the valley. Rong Tian signaled everyone else to head into the valley while he and Feng Ming stay outside for a bit. Feng Ming was sitting by the lake and

 felt something was off.

FM: Is there something you wanted to tell me?

Rong Tian stood next to the horse and didn’t say anything.

FM: Rong Tian, you’re rarely hesitant like this.

Feng Ming stood up and pulled Rong Tian’s sleeves to make him sit down along with him.

FM: If there is something on your mind, just tell me. Duke Ming is very understanding, I will absorb everything.

 RT: Inside the valley, there is someone you might not expect.

 FM: Someone I don’t expect? You’re not going to...

Before he could finish, Rong Tian reached out his arms and held Feng Ming fiercely.

RT: Feng Ming, no one can change the past, they can only look towards the future in order to do great things.

Feng Ming was being held by him so tightly that he could hardly breathe. FM: That person...

 RT: That person is inside the valley.

Rong Tian revealed a handsome smile, he stood up and placed Feng Ming on the horse.

RT: There was something you said that is right, if something happened then let it happen. Let us head inside the camp.

When they first entered the valley, they could see a twenty feet high stone wall surrounding the front. On the outside there were several high posts, within the walls, a roof made of wood was visible. Just like that, with one glance, one can tell that it was camp that was hastily built. It was built on a large scale, if you don’t see it with your own eyes, then it would be hard to imagine.

As they entered, they were welcomed by many soldiers. Standing at the door were many people, among those people were Rong Hu and Chiu Lan. Feng Ming also noticed a familiar beautiful face, Mei Ji.

Feng Ming had already somewhat expected her, but he still had the same habit of elbowing Rong Tian in the chest.

RT: Are you angry?

FM: (tilted his nose) I am Xi Lei Duke Ming, why would I be jealous?

When he got off the horse, Feng Ming greeted Mei Ji.

FM: Is this the place that you’ve reside at? Mei Ji, this time it’s thanks to your help, Xi Lei again

 owe you a big favor.

MJ: (shook her head) Duke Ming has misunderstood. Mei Ji is just an ordinary woman, why would I need a huge camp to reside at? This valley is the place that I resided at after leaving Xi Lei, but everything that Duke Ming sees in front of you is with the help of Master Xiao.

Her finger gently pointed at someone.

Feng Ming had noticed this man standing next to Mei Ji earlier because ignoring his presence was very hard.

Was he Mei Ji’s new lover or perhaps one of Rong Tian’s subordinate?

 This person was wearing a simple plain robes, standing next to Mei Ji, his body exuded a faint

 male charm beyond a normal person, and snatched away half of Mei Ji’s limelight.

His features did not seem particularly attractive, if examined carefully, he seemed a bit rough, but his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, once combined all the roughness changed into a harmonious mature man. His deep bottomless eyes, matured but no sign of aging. Looking at his face, there was no way to guess his age.

His figure was tall, comparable to Rong Tian. Well-proportioned physique and his two hands naturally resting on both sides of his thigh.

Feng Ming was not fam
