[Feng Deneng is portrayed as a villain who commits all sorts of evil deeds in the book.]
But these kinds of people thrive in officialdom.
[Feng Deneng's daughter had a brief affair with Emperor Hui in the book.]
I wonder if this fake 'Emperor Hui' will still be interested in her.
But looking at her, all coquettish and alluring, those who knew her would recognize her as the daughter of the Feng family, the Minister of the Imperial Guard; those who didn't would mistake her for someone from a brothel.
The effectiveness of black magic decreases the further away one is from the person who cast it.
Therefore, Zheng Duoyu is probably now letting loose and ignoring the opinions of those around him.
[Zheng Duoyu is about to unleash another killing spree, bringing so many palace maids with him.]
Not wanting to display her fluent Mandarin of Nanchen Kingdom in front of everyone, Li Xingran could only communicate with Li Ting and Xu Ningyou through telepathy.
Li Ting, Xu Ningyou, Li Ruiqi, and Li Ruiyue listened without asking any questions.
Emperor Hui found it unusual that Li Ting's carriage was so quiet.
Even though Li Ting wasn't driving, the carriage was still moving.
He then asked Feng Deneng to step forward and take a look.
As a result, Feng Deneng wanted to get on Li Ting's carriage to check the situation, but Li Ting stopped him.
Feng Deneng could only laugh it off. "Grand Tutor Li, His Majesty sent this old man to check on the situation in your carriage. It's good that nothing happened to you."
"What could possibly happen to me? Unless someone has ulterior motives and wants to harm me. Otherwise, I'm the best in martial arts, and my wife is the best in the martial arts world. Who can defeat us?"
Feng Deneng sneered inwardly: Just wait and see, there will be a good show to watch soon.
Little did he know that just as Feng Deneng reached the front of Emperor Hui's carriage, a swarm of wasps suddenly flew in from nowhere and began to burrow into Feng Deneng's clothes.
Feng De could not escape it.
Feng Deneng died from bee venom.
Emperor Hui was shocked.
What's going on?
He lost a beloved general shortly after leaving the capital.
When Feng Deneng's son and daughter saw that their father had died so mysteriously, they were immediately panicked.
It's still a day and a half's journey to Dangshan from here. Feng Deneng is dead, so should we continue this spring outing?
Emperor Hui was at a loss for what to do.
Xiao Ling, who was accompanying Emperor Hui, advised him that it was inauspicious to launch an expedition and that he should not proceed further.
Many conservative ministers also felt it was inappropriate to go to Dangshan again.
Emperor Hui had no choice but to order that Feng Deneng's body be transported back to the capital, while the rest of the people went on a spring outing.
Fortunately, the scenery here is quite nice, and birds fly by from time to time.
So they set up camp there, rested for the night, and planned to return to the capital the next day.
The night was cool, and Li Ting and his family prepared to rest in their tent.
Suddenly, Li Ting heard the sound of a sharp object slicing through the sky.
Li Ting thought to himself, "It's finally here."
It turned out that due to Feng Deneng's "accident," the emperor had to return to the palace ahead of schedule, disrupting Lu Dacheng's plans.
Lu Dacheng made up his mind and directly lit the signal flare.
Upon receiving the signal, the assassins converged on the camp from all directions.
The assassins followed the marks that Lu Dacheng had made in advance on Li Ting's tent and found Li Ting's tent.
Lu Dacheng had already lit incense in Li Ting's tent beforehand. He had just checked it and found Li Ting's family lying haphazardly inside. This time, he was absolutely certain of success.
Emperor Hui remained unmoved, regardless of how his camp was burned, killed, and looted, or how his men were harmed.
The assassins gradually gathered and surrounded Li Ting's tent.
There were ten assassins this time. Did Lu Dacheng overestimate the assassins from the Great Yue Kingdom or underestimate the strength of Li Ting and his wife?
When those well-trained, bloodthirsty assassins entered Li Ting's camp, they were dumbfounded.
Li Ting and Xu Ningyou were drinking tea with smiles on their faces.
The two chatted and laughed. "Husband, if you can't beat me, I'll go for it."
Li Ting replied indulgently, "How could I let my wife get her hands dirty?"
Then the assassins died instantly, without even knowing how they died, only that it was too fast.
The last thought of the assassins before they died was, how did this cripple manage to strike so quickly and accurately despite having a limp?
Wow, Daddy is so powerful and majestic!
Upon hearing Li Xingran's thoughts, Xu Ningyou quickly covered her daughter's eyes, not wanting her to see such a bloody scene.
"Ruan Ruan, don't look."
"Okay, Mom, I'm going back to sleep. Keep an eye on me!" Li Xingran gave Xu Ningyou a big smile, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Li Ruiqi and Li Ruiyue were already asleep and had no idea what was happening inside the tent.
Lu Dacheng waited for news in his tent, but no one came to deliver a message for a long time.
They had to send out a second signal so that the second group could continue.
The second wave of assassins numbered forty.
Training assassins is expensive, isn't it? Is the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom willing to let Zhao Yunwan and her group squander money like this?
Of the forty men who came this time, half of them had already been shot down by traps and hidden weapons before they even reached the vicinity of the camp.
The hidden weapon flew in silently and without form.
The assassin only felt a chill on his collar before collapsing to the ground.
In the entire camp, only Emperor Hui, Lu Dacheng, and Lu Dacheng's confidants were awake; the other entourage had long been drugged by Lu Dacheng and were fast asleep.
That night, five groups of people attacked, totaling one hundred and fifty assassins.
The last wave of assassins were elites from the Great Yue Kingdom, yet they still couldn't harm Li Ting in the slightest.
This is all thanks to Lu Dacheng for poisoning Li Ting and his wife.
After Fan Zuan cured them of the poison, their martial arts skills improved day by day.
Even Li Ting was amazed, realizing that misfortune had turned into a blessing in disguise.
Xu Ningyou watched Li Ting tumble and fight inside the tent, his martial arts skills were no less than hers, and she was eager to try it herself.
Several people wanted to break through Xu Ningyou's defenses and kill the three children.
Little did they know, Xu Ningyou was right in front of them, the child was right in front of them, yet they could never touch her.
The Great Yue Kingdom's foundation was still lacking; they had no idea about the mysteries of the Southern Chen Kingdom's Qianji Sect!
After dealing with the assassin, Li Ting and his wife waited a while longer. When they found no further movement, they turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The assassin's body was moved by Li Ting to the vicinity of Lu Dacheng's camp.
Lu Dacheng waited for a long time without receiving any news. He left the camp to check it out himself, only to find a mountain of corpses waiting in front of him!
They had no choice but to use the corpse-dissolving potion to turn the assassins' bodies into a pool of blood and disappear from this world.
Lu Dacheng used to only know that Li Ting was powerful, but now it seems that he underestimated Li Ting's strength.
What puzzled Lu Dacheng was how Li Ting's family managed to evade his potent sedatives.
Were they already taking precautions beforehand?
