Fang Jing looked out the window. Things were getting more and more interesting. He hadn't been out of Yongfeng Kingdom for a long time. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well go with Song Tangxue.
"Go and tell Song Tangxue that I also plan to go to Lingfeng Kingdom. I will disguise myself as her bodyguard."
Zhan Ming and Mo Ran said they would let Song Tangxue do it, but they were still worried about her safety and wanted to go with her.
"Yes, I will go and deliver the message immediately."
Just as Song Tangxue was about to rest, a person who hadn't been seen for a long time flashed in through the window—Fang Jing.
"Long time no see. Is there any news from Zhan Ming?"
Fang Jing nodded: "That's right. The boss told me to tell you that he will be going to Lingfeng Kingdom with you as your bodyguard. Make sure the boss is by your side."
In the second half of his sentence, Zhan Ming didn't mention Fang Jing at all. He acted on his own initiative. Judging from the boss's attitude, he had other intentions towards Miss Song. If he were to treat other women, he would naturally kick them away like Song Tangli, showing no mercy to them. Only when facing Song Tangxue would the boss's face show a smile.
Song Tangxue felt there was something strange about his words, but she still agreed: "Okay."
The date for their departure to Lingfeng Kingdom was quickly set, exactly three days later.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qianzhong rushed to the Crown Prince's residence, still in his official robes, and pulled Song Tangxue into his arms as soon as he saw her.
"Tang Xue, what exactly is going on? If you don't want to go to Lingfeng Kingdom, I can speak with His Majesty."
Seeing Xie Qianzhong, Song Tangxue realized that they would not be able to see each other for a long time. The two of them were carrying different missions. Xie Qianzhong was determined to revive his country, while Song Tangxue wanted to make those who had wronged her pay the price.
Before they could achieve their goals, neither of them could act as they pleased, not only because of their different statuses, but also because of the national and personal vendettas that separated them.
"Chichong, is the place I want to go."
"Don't you know how dangerous Lingfeng Kingdom is? If something happens to you there, I won't be able to come and help you!"
In previous years, every delegation that went to Lingfeng Kingdom returned with serious injuries. They completely disregarded Yonggeng Kingdom. For them, force was the only way to win. Those fancy words or laughable bloodlines meant nothing to them.
"Don't worry, I never do anything without a plan. Besides, don't you trust me?"
Xie Qianzhong calmed down a bit. That's right. Song Tangxue has always been resourceful and never puts himself in danger. It's just that he doesn't want to tell him anything, which makes him worry. They are separated by two countries, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
"Fine, if you want to go, then go. But you must promise to send me a letter every few days. If I don't receive one, I must immediately set off for Lingfeng Kingdom."
Song Tangxue agreed to everything. They chatted for a long time that night, and Xie Qianzhong didn't leave until late at night.
Time flies, and the day to set off for Lingfeng is fast approaching. Song Tangli stood by the window, watching the convoy of cars gradually disappear into the distance. She had originally thought that she would be chosen this year, and she was even thinking of finding someone to impersonate her to go there.
Now that she's here, she doesn't need to worry anymore; Lingfeng Kingdom can also eliminate a major threat for her.
It takes about two days to travel from Yongfeng Kingdom to Lingfeng Kingdom. The two countries are not far apart, and the closer you get, the more you can see refugees attacking each other.
Many powerful individuals accompanied them, and their superior equipment was easily countered. Song Tangxue ate dried meat to stave off hunger throughout the journey, feeling that she had endured a great deal. The daughters of officials, on the other hand, had never suffered such humiliation and were only complaining when they got lost.
"I really don't know why the Emperor sent us here. We all have noble blood!"
"I don't know either. Why not just send a few ordinary people over? I don't want to stay in Lingfeng Kingdom for even a second longer."
"Alright, that's enough. Stop complaining. Didn't you see the Crown Prince? He hasn't said a word. I think she's already gotten used to it."
These women chattered incessantly on their way here, starting with one person per carriage, but later there were three or four people in one carriage.
Song Tangxue remained silent throughout, never complaining even though the dried meat tasted like chewing wax.
"I think the Crown Princess is really amazing. Even we can't stand it, but she, as the eldest daughter of the Song family, can endure such suffering. We can't go on like this any longer."
Song Tangxue's composure set an example for them, and they all followed her example, thus making their way to Lingfeng Kingdom.
The composure feigned by the noble ladies crumbled instantly. They had long imagined what Lingfeng Kingdom would look like, but none of their images matched the scene before them.
What I saw could hardly be called a country. Everywhere there were magnificent, glittering houses that dazzled the eyes. The common people were all dressed in expensive clothes, and there were even quite a few people fighting in the streets.
"What's going on? Weren't Lingfeng Kingdom supposed to be about the same strength as Yongfeng Kingdom? How come it looks to me much richer than our country?"
The envoy, who had visited many times before, explained: "In Liu Fengguo, martial arts are the highest virtue. Might makes right. No matter your status, if you can't beat them, they will steal your money. These richly dressed people must be very capable. You must not offend them."
As soon as they stepped into the place, they attracted the attention of others. They looked at them with disdain, thinking that these delicate young ladies had never practiced martial arts. Here, both men and women had to learn martial arts from a young age.
"Oh, so you're the delegation from Yongfeng Kingdom. You're completely different from what we imagined. These people don't look like they can fight much. It's really boring."
They mocked everyone in Yongfeng Kingdom, including Zhan Ming, who was disguised as a guard.
"What a boastful brat," Zhan Ming said in a voice only Song Tangxue could hear.
Song Tangxue was afraid that he would start a fight with someone and expose his identity, so she quickly grabbed his arm.
The head of the delegation stepped forward: "Indeed, we are an envoy from Yongfeng Kingdom. May I ask where your monarch is? We would like to pay him a visit."
"If you want to see our monarch, it's actually quite simple; all you have to do is defeat us."
The man clapped his hands, and countless ordinary people walked out from the street. They were all muscular and looked like they were not to be trifled with. Many of the women in the commotion were dressed in clean clothes, showing off their muscles.
“Those women should be drowned in pig cages. They have no shame at all. With so many men watching, they dare to expose their arms.”
