Chapter 1510 - 1505: Brutal by Nature!
"You silly boy! Who says if you want me, you can’t have fame and fortune?" Mu Shuangshuang lightly tapped Lu Yuanfeng’s head.
Actually, hearing Lu Yuanfeng say this, she was quite happy!
At the very least, it gave her the feeling that she was his most precious thing.
"I don’t care, I can give up everything, but I can’t be without Shuangshuang!"
The tone in Lu Yuanfeng’s voice carried a hint of playfulness.
It was so endearing that Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t resist!
She glanced at the man in front of her, no, he should be called a boy, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, who in the modern era would still be attending school.
In ancient times, he hadn’t even come of age, yet his maturity and wisdom couldn’t be compared to modern men in their twenties or thirties.
In other words, he could be called mature at a young age!
But, after all, he was still a bit young, for example now, he would still act childishly with her!
Mu Shuangshuang’s face was full of smiles as she spoke, "Me too, I can’t be without Fengzi!"
Lu Yuanfeng’s anxious heart finally settled down.
But deep inside, he knew this wasn’t the end, but a beginning!
As they grew older, just like Elder Cheng Dagang said, Shuangshuang had a charm that made people want to be close to her, to be kind to her.
Not to mention, now there’s a Second Prince of Da Wei, and who knows, there might be even bigger princes, big men in the future.
All he could do was be good to Shuangshuang.
He would use his own efforts to give Shuangshuang better things!
"It’s getting late, let’s hurry and rest!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Lu Yuanfeng nodded heavily.
Anyway, he was holding Shuangshuang now, so it was easy to fall asleep as well.
Lu Yuanfeng lay back, holding Mu Shuangshuang with him, pulled the quilt over, and the two of them fell asleep, sleeping sweetly!
...
Meanwhile, the entire Da Wei was undergoing significant changes.
The Eldest Prince Wei Lin arrived in Ye City, and the Wei Army, already assembled around Ye City, surged forth, all ready and prepared.
Just waiting for Wei Lin’s order, they would immediately attack Ning Dynasty’s Xing City!
Ye City, City Lord Mansion—
Wei Lin, dressed in luxurious robes, sat in the City Lord Mansion of Ye City in a high position.
On both sides were guards dressed in black, each holding a long knife, and their eyes revealed a murderous aura, showing they were not to be trifled with.
As for Wei Lin, the Eldest Prince of the Wei Dynasty, twenty-five years old!
In ancient times, this was considered a relatively older age, and he already had a bunch of children.
Only, in ancient times, emperors had children early, so when Emperor Wei had the Eldest Prince, he was only eighteen.
And now, Emperor Wei was only in his forties, in his prime. He held the court’s power tightly!
So much so that the Eldest Prince, who had already come of age, was still a prince and hadn’t even been made a king!
However, Da Wei wasn’t as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, at least, the number hoping for Emperor Wei’s death and the Eldest Prince’s succession was not small.
Wei Lin naturally thought so too.
The Emperor of Da Wei had ten sons, and the only ones who had potential were the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince.
Unfortunately, the Second Prince, Shen Feng, had a demonic appearance since he was young, not looking like what a man should look like.
So even though the Second Prince Shen Feng had been smart since childhood, he didn’t fare well in the Imperial City.
Various bullying, various discrimination.
Until a few years ago, he suddenly asked the Emperor for permission to travel the world, and only then did the rumors about him completely die down.
Now, Shen Feng was back, and the Eldest Prince naturally saw him as a thorn in his side!
Wei Lin had a more rugged temperament, just standing in the City Lord Mansion’s hall created an invisible sense of oppression!
Shen Feng saluted Wei Lin, "Greetings, Eldest Brother!"
Yet Wei Lin delayed letting Shen Feng rise, seeming to want to give Shen Feng a hard time.
He even spoke disrespectfully, "Second Brother, after so many years, you still like to hide your face. Just like before, unable to show your face!"
Shen Feng nodded, not arguing with the Eldest Prince Wei Lin’s words.
But City Lord Ye Fantian couldn’t stand it anymore, but before he could speak, Wei Lin already made the first move!
"Second Brother, I hear you’re on good terms with this City Lord of Ye City! However, you know Father has given me the task of leading the army with the imperial decree, intending for me to win the battle!
I just happen to have a habit of not liking to use unfamiliar generals, or it might affect my performance. So, how about this, City Lord Ye Fantian, give up your position, and I’ll find a better position for you in the army. What do you think?!"
"Elder Brother is the commander this time, what you want to do, who you want to replace, who you want to appoint, is all your freedom, I have no objections!"
Shen Feng answered expressionlessly.
Shen Feng’s obedience and understanding were quite satisfactory to Wei Lin.
Wei Lin hated nothing more in his life than people rebelling against him, opposing him!
This brother, not only having a demonic face, also dared to compete with him.
If he didn’t show him his strength, he wouldn’t understand how the world worked!
"Since that’s the case, let’s settle it! Now, City Lord Ye, you go be... go be a horse keeper!
In battle, horses are key! Besides, Ye City annually provides the court with excellent steeds, City Lord Ye’s skill in horse breeding must not be small.
I’m entirely at ease handing the warhorses of our Da Wei’s Iron Cavalry Camp to you!"
Wei Lin, with just one mouthful, demoted Ye Fantian to a horsekeeper.
The grievances within were naturally unspoken.
Ye Fantian remained silent, but his subordinates couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Eldest Prince, our City Lord has been doing the job at Ye City not just for a day or two.
With him in charge, Ye City has always been well-managed, and now you’re replacing him, what position does that put our City Lord in?"
"Audacious! This Prince’s actions do not need you, a mere servant, to instruct! Are you tired of living?" The Eldest Prince shouted loudly.
The guards beside him also drew their swords in an instant.
"Xia Wei, kneel down and apologize to the Eldest Prince!" Ye Fantian commanded.
"City Lord..." Xia Wei’s eyes were full of reluctance.
He didn’t understand why the City Lord had to endure this.
"Kneel! Do you even dare to disobey me?" Ye Fantian raised his voice.
Only then did Xia Wei kneel, "Eldest Prince, I’m sorry, this subordinate knows his sin!"
"Know your sin? Just saying ’know your sin’ can cover up your disrespect to this Prince?" Wei Lin questioned.
"Someone, take this worthless servant and kill him!" Wei Lin coldly ordered.
Xia Wei was completely dumbfounded.
He knelt in place, forgetting to resist or plead!
Ye Fantian, who was on the side, knelt down, "Eldest Prince, Xia Wei is my person, having done wrong, I as his master, should be the first to be punished, please punish me instead!"
Ye Fantian intended to protect Xia Wei, but the more he acted this way, the more Wei Lin wanted to kill this servant named Xia Wei!
"Punishment? City Lord Ye thinks this Prince doesn’t dare?"
"This subordinate dares not!" Ye Fantian said.
"I think you dare quite a lot! Ye Fantian, today this worthless servant’s life is mine!" Wei Lin spat out harsh words, and ordered his men, "Kill!"
