Feng Yu Jiu Tian

After a while, Luo Yun,who stood beside Feng Ming, reported in a low voice, “Young lord, all the menare really ours. They are safe and sound.”

Sighing in relief,Feng Ming nodded in understanding.

Following Luo Yun’sgood news, came bad news from Rong Hu. “Duke Ming, the ship cannot last anylonger. When the time comes, we will have to swim to reach ashore.”

Feng Ming vaguelyacknowledged his words as he observed the river’s surface.

Taking advantage ofthe chaos between the main ship and the attackers, several of the Xiao Familyships and Tong Kingdom’s royal ship had slowly reached the shore side. Itappears that He Di had no intention to wipe them all out. His fleet did notbother trying to prevent the other ships from getting to safety.

From the perspectiveof those on the shore, with the appearance of a decrepit, worn down ship thatcould sink at any moment, the Xiao’s main ship floated in the middle. Alone,they were facing off against an enemy whose fighting abilities surpassedtheirs.

Luo Ning and theother men could only look at the situation from afar. They did not know if theyshould remain on the shore doing nothing. However, they couldn’t just head onover and start another round of killing since the situation appeared to be intheir favour at the moment. God knows if their arrival would somehow ruineverything.

If the young lord unexpectedly met with a mishap, then it would be agood matter. It wouldplease his younger sister incredibly if Feng Ming were to die…

But Luo Yun, thatsilly child, was also on board the ship. Any unfortunate circumstancesoccurring would be bad if he is present.

“Leader Luo, we’renot going to just stay here, right?”

All the experts thatfollowed him felt unsettled regarding the mysterious events. The group oftrained assassins rarely felt so anxious. One man after the other keptapproaching Luo Ning, inquiring if they should go and fight.

Their reaction wasnot odd since their young lord was still aboard the main ship.

What if he were to die as we just watched from the side? How could weface the old Master if we actually on the riverbank watching when it happened?

Externally, Luo Ningappeared calm and collected, however internally, he was so anxious his entirebody sweated profusely.

If Luo Yun were noton the ship, Luo Ning would have already ordered them to attack. Even if theyare in the middle of a negotiation, he could still borrow the knife of theenemy to kill Feng Ming. If he were to die, Luo Yun would have the opportunityto shine.

“We will wait,” LuoYun silently and coldly continued to watch the river.

Back to the sceneoccurring on the river’s surface, both sides had now moved on to a new agenda.

Dan Lin’s secondprince conversed with the other side using an amiable and agreeable tone.

Even though it wasobvious he had committed some horrible things, he still feigned innocence. Withan arrogant demeanour, he continued to insist that he had done them a favour.

Purposely pretending to be weak against an unyielding enemy, this FengMing’s actions really makes him seem cute. Looks like he’s been learning fromexperience how to form a relationship with someone stronger than him. Like oldsaying, one’s had to lower their heads when they were beneath someone else’sroof.

Even thoughinternally he was extremely reluctant his outward appearance however appear tobe showing gratitude towards He Di. Because of that he was rewarded with hismen’s freedom.

Moving on…

“I have spent manyyears on the seaside watching the scenery at night, however it is only todaythat I realized that the view on the river is not bad either.”

“Your Highness.”

“En?”

“Please forgive mefor my rudeness, but right now Feng Ming is incapable of engaging in small talkwith Your Highness about the scenery.”

“Oh? Why is that?”

“Because…” Feng Mingelegantly shrugged his shoulder as he made a gesture towards the deck that wasincreasingly angling towards the water. “…our ship is about to sink.”

“Don’t worry.” He Di,with a sly smile invited, “My ship is not sinking. Kong Liu, bring our shipcloser to theirs. Let us invite Duke Ming on our ship for a chat.”

“Understood!”

Clink! Clank!

Almost instantly, thesound of swords being removed from their sheaths could be heard.

It wasn’t only thepeople surrounding who pulled out their swords, even Feng Ming had removed his.

HD: “What is themeaning of this, Duke Ming?”

“I do not mean totrample over your kindness, Prince.” Feng Ming’s black eyes shined brilliantlyas he calmly replied. “It’s truly embarrassing, but I am a timid person thattends to get kidnapped. I get frightened quite easily, you know? Your Highnessand I have a great disparity between our strengths so to be inviting me overright now to your ship might cause some misunderstandings.”

He Di teasinglysmiled and said, “But your ship is sinking.”

“It does not matter.”Feng Ming spoke unhurriedly. “I can swim!”

“I’m sincerely tryingto help you. How could you doubt me?”

Feng Mingunyieldingly replied, “Prince’sbig favour, Feng Ming does not dare forget. Feng Ming will surely return this kindness in the future. As long asyour highness is willing to fall back, in the future, Xi Lei, including DongFan, and the Xiao Family will consider Dan Lin’s royal family as friends.

“It is no problem forme to retreat.” He Di nodded his head without hesitation.

This person’s outwardappearance made him look wicked, but unexpectedly, their discussion,repeatedly, resulted in agreeable results. A truly surprising outcome.

He Di absentmindedly spoke, “Since Duke Ming hasalready declared that our countries can be considered friends, why don’t youand I sign a peace treaty?”
