Chapter 97: Following Like a Shadow (5)
Feng Qinghan turned around and looked him up and down: "Why?"
"He is stronger than me. No, I should say he is stronger than anyone else of the same period. That's why he was chosen as the young master's bodyguard."
He spoke out his evaluation of Feng Yan without hesitation, because in front of Feng Qinghan, being pretentious and bluffing was tantamount to seeking death. Moreover, since following Feng Qinghan, Feng Xing realized that nothing could escape Feng Qinghan's eyes.
"That's right. I think he's pretty good. Although people who value friendship and loyalty to their duties tend to die early, I don't hate him. After all, he's one of the few people I admire, and he's also very honest. Having said that, I really miss him when he was around. He was always by my side like a shadow. It feels a bit strange that he's gone all of a sudden. I wonder if he'll blame me for assigning him to Huanling?"
God knows what kind of mentality Feng Qinghan had when he said this. Feng Xing only knew that this was not something he could guess. Just hearing these words made him gasp and his body stiffened instantly. His body's reaction was much faster than his brain's.
"Sir, Prince Jing's side——"
"Isn't it interesting?"
"yes!"
Feng Xing originally wanted to use Zhou Yan to change the subject, but unexpectedly Feng Qinghan just said something random and irrelevant, and Feng Xing was speechless again.
"What's the news from Canyun?"
"The Second Protector sent word that they have entered the territory of [Xu State]."
"As expected of him."
"Then should we..."
Feng Xing found a topic and couldn't wait to interrupt it, as if he was in a hurry to show off. Thinking that their mission here was over and they had a topic to talk about, he no longer had to worry about facing Feng Qinghan's words that he had to think deeply about everything. To be honest, Feng Xing felt very tired of this. In addition, accompanying the "king" is like accompanying a tiger. He could feel honored to be chosen as Feng Qinghan's personal bodyguard, but at the same time he also had to live in fear all the time.
"Well, go get ready and leave. After all, I don't have the elegance to stay in this dead city for a night."
"yes!"
The terrifying conversation was finally over, so after hearing Feng Qinghan's order, Feng Xing turned around and left without hesitation, as if he was afraid that something would happen if he hesitated for a moment. Looking at Feng Xing's departing back, the corners of Feng Qinghan's mouth rose slightly, but quickly disappeared. He regained his composure and looked up at the night sky thoughtfully.
Not long after, a large group of people left the city, and then the originally dark city was caught on fire. Under the light of the fire, the streets and houses in the city were in a mess. Corpses with hideous faces and covered in blood were everywhere. No one was spared, regardless of gender, age or status. It looked like a massacre. Such an shocking bloody scene was shocking. What exactly happened in this large city?
The firelight shone brightly in the blood, and it was obvious that the blood had not yet dried. Before long, the whole city turned into a sea of fire. The raging flames and flames soaring into the sky seemed to devour the entire city. This fire just buried the thrilling scene. When the fire went out, everything would vanish into thin air. No one would know what happened in the city. A city that may have been prosperous in the past gradually disappeared in a sea of fire.
[Xu State] A relatively remote town on the border.
Because it is sparsely populated and remote, it has not been affected by the war. With the help of the Zhao army, the foreign enemies have been eliminated. Such a remote town has of course received this news, so the town has been unexpectedly There is a "Zhangji Inn" in the city. The first floor hall is very lively. Of course, it is also because the night has just begun. When there are many people, there will be a lot of noise. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is noisy. The second floor is slightly better, especially the corner, which is relatively quiet. However, in a corner of the second floor, Canyun and Fengyao are sitting opposite each other for dinner. The atmosphere between the two is very strange, but no one notices it. Although they are sitting at the same table, Canyun puts one hand on the table and the other hand holds the wine glass to his mouth and looks out the window on the side. Fengyao eats and drinks by himself with a somewhat unhappy expression...
"Why? The food is not to your liking?"
When Canyun turned around and saw Feng Yao with a depressed look on his face, he asked without changing his expression. Of course, Canyun was not a nosy or talkative person, he just couldn't stand Feng Yao's depressed attitude in front of him. Although he didn't say anything, the atmosphere made Canyun unable to endure it anymore. If possible, he would rather be quiet and down-to-earth, especially in this situation.
"nothing."
Feng Yao answered unhappily and then brought the refilled wine glass to his lips and drank it all in one gulp, seemingly no different from being forced to drink. His reaction was so obvious that Canyun found it strange that he couldn't see it. He casually put down the wine glass in mid-air, looked at Feng Yao seriously, then turned his head to look out the window. Then he heard the sound of wine glasses hitting the table again and again.
"Don't care about things that have nothing to do with you, and don't listen to them."
Without any warning, Canyun's sudden words startled Feng Yao. It seemed that his body was more honest than his mouth. Because he knew Canyun's character, Feng Yao looked at him in astonishment when he said these words. It was not because of whether he was right, but because Canyun spoke twice. Feng Yao couldn't help wondering if this could be considered a new discovery? He seemed to be completely unaware that his displeasure had affected others.
