Chapter 93 Who Dares to Trespass the Important Ground!
Ye Feng with a sweep of his great hand, "Come in and talk!"
Having said that he himself pushed his wheelchair, taking the lead towards the living room.
Hong Qingyan, while pushing the wheelchair, looked at these two individuals who exuded an imposing aura from head to toe, her heart trembling, especially with that phrase "greetings, my king" from just now, which deeply shook her.
"Your Highness?" Hong Qingyan was both shocked and confused because this was far beyond her comprehension.
Seventeen, on the other hand, was silent, also sizing up the two sudden guests just as the two legion commanders were also observing him. To some extent, there was a resemblance in the air about them.
However, the two legion commanders clearly had a more awe-inspiring presence, and of course, they were much more powerful.
Seventeen did not speak, nor did he ask any questions; he just did what a follower should do.
The First Legion Commander, Xiao Chuanqi, following behind, asked, "My king, these two..."
Ye Feng, without turning his head, said, "Everyone come in, they're not outsiders!"
The two legion commanders didn't say anything further; since the prince had said they were not outsiders, they were considered one of their own, or in other words, trustworthy!
Ye Feng sat in the center of the hall, quietly looking at the two legion commanders who had followed him through life and death for many years. To say they were subordinates was less accurate than to say they were brothers in arms.
It was only then that the two commanders noticed something amiss, and they exclaimed in shock, "Your Highness, your legs?"
Ye Feng waved his hand and said with a light smile, "It's nothing."
"Damnation!"
"It's our incompetence that allowed Your Highness to go to the Imperial City alone, resulting in an ambush and ultimately causing the loss of your legs!"
The two legion commanders clenched their teeth and their faces were filled with regret and anger.
Ye Feng calmly looked at the two and asked, "That's all in the past, there's no need to dwell on it. Tell me, you two, how did you find this place?"
Xiao Chuanqi bowed and said, "Lord Ye Feng, it was Lord Mu Tian who informed us."
Ye Feng furrowed his brows and asked again, "When did he tell you?"
"Yesterday, Lord Mu Tian told us yesterday, and even disclosed your exact whereabouts. Originally, Lord Mu Tian also said that Your Highness was still in hiding to recover, and it was not advisable to let too many people know, so he forbade us from coming."
"So you acted on your own initiative and left the Northern Border all the way here?" Ye Feng's brows raised, his expression commanding respect without anger.
"We beg for Your Highness' forgiveness!"
The two legion commanders immediately bowed, "We disobeyed Your Highness' orders and came here to see you on our own. Please punish us, Your Highness. It's just that we were genuinely worried about Your Highness' safety and could not rest or sleep without coming here to protect you!"
"Enough..."
Ye Feng sighed softly, then said, "Now that you're here, it's actually good timing. I could use some help."
Again, the two legion commanders bowed, "Whatever Your Highness wishes to command, just give the order."
Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh with some irritation, "This is not the Northern Border, there's no need to keep up the formalities from the Northern Border. From now on, you don't have to call me 'Your Highness.' We don't want to cause an unnecessary sensation."
"But Your Highness..."
"From now on, address me as Sovereign!"
"As you wish, Sovereign!" The two legion commanders dared not raise any further objections.
"By the way, what is the current situation in the Northern Border?" Ye Feng asked in a grave voice.
Given that he had not returned for so long and the Northern Border was left without a leader, one could imagine the chaos that ensued. Naturally, what concerned Ye Feng the most were still the thousands of soldiers of the Northern Border.
First Legion Commander Xiao Chuanqi clenched his teeth and said, "The Northern Border is in chaos. After the incident with the Sovereign, the commanders of the Third, Sixth, and Eighth Legions went to the Imperial City to show their loyalty. Then, on the third day, experts from the Imperial City were sent with the intent to take over the Northern Border!" Enjoy new tales from empire
Ye Feng's expression didn't change in the slightest as he asked coldly, "Who has come?"
"It's an ancient noble clan from the capital, the Zhu Family, Zhu Guangbo!" the Fourth Legion Commander, Sima Zhantian, said through gritted teeth.
"The Zhu Family?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and then scoffed, "Although the Zhu Family is an old aristocratic clan gate in the capital, their main influence lies in the northeast. It's beyond my expectation that the Zhu Family would extend their reach so far; even daring to probe into the Northern Border."
"Isn't that because His Majesty was ambushed and seriously injured, leaving the Northern Border without a leader? It's only then that these clowns dare to jump onto the stage!" Xiao Chuanqi said angrily.
"Your Majesty, when will you return to the Northern Border? Right now, Zhu Guangbo might be overseeing it, but with his prestige, he can hardly convince the masses. He's merely acting as the Northern Border King. Should Your Majesty return, that boy will surely be so frightened that he'll wet himself!" Sima Zhantian said.
Ye Feng did not directly answer the question but instead asked, "Where are the commanders of the third, sixth, and eighth legions now?"
"Those three ungrateful dogs, after making a trip to the capital, have transformed and returned to the Northern Border. Currently, they are under Zhu Guangbo's command. It is with the support of these three that Zhu Guangbo can barely stabilize his position as the Acting Northern Border King!"
Deep anger surged on the faces of the two legion commanders.
Ye Feng made no comment. He seldom spoke ill of others behind their backs, even if the person truly was a great villain; he rarely gossiped.
He asked again, "Legion Leader Leng, I heard he was seriously injured; how is he now?"
The two legion commanders replied, "Your Majesty, Leng Wuming is currently in seclusion in the mountains, focusing on healing and cultivating. His injuries are indeed very severe. He wanted to come, but the two of us persuaded him otherwise.
However, Legion Leader Leng said that when Your Majesty returns to the Northern Border, he will emerge to support the king and once again follow Your Majesty to cut down the evil-doers and charge into battle across the world!"
Throughout the period, it was the three of them conversing. Hong Qingyan stood behind Ye Feng, quietly listening. Even though she was still unclear about what a Northern Border King does, just these few words were enough to shock and excite her, even making her blood boil.
Of course, she was also aware of how incredibly significant Ye Feng's identity was.
"The Northern Border King. There are Four Realms in the world, each one guarded to protect the lands, and he is actually the Northern Border King, a king of his generation!"
At that moment, Hong Qingyan's mind was buzzing. Although she had previously considered that Ye Feng had an extraordinary background, she had never imagined that her fiancé was the Northern Border King, a reigning monarch!
Seventeen, on the other hand, was completely calm, obviously having learned a bit about Ye Feng's identity from Lord Mu Tian before coming here.
"Your Majesty, when will we return to the Northern Border? The countless soldiers of the Northern Border are eagerly waiting, looking forward to Your return to take charge of the overall situation!" the two legion commanders asked earnestly with clasped hands.
"No rush, the time has not yet come," Ye Feng waved his hand.
So the two legion commanders did not ask further. Since His Majesty said the time was not yet right, they would wait.
Ye Feng looked at the two of them and then suddenly smiled and asked, "Now, my legs are disabled, and I am not the glorious figure I once was. I might even have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Do you still wish to follow me?"
Upon hearing this, the two legion commanders did not hesitate to kneel on the ground.
"No matter what happens to Your Majesty, as long as your original heart doesn't change, as long as the principles of the Northern Border remain the same, we are willing to follow Your Majesty to the death, to guard the Northern Border!"
"Good, very good, all rise!" Ye Feng was gratified. These two, along with the First Legion Commander Leng Wuming, had always had close relations with him.
In fact, Ye Feng was more than a decade younger than the two of them. However, Ye Feng's abilities were clear for all to see.
That child king, when just a teenager, had demonstrated astonishing strength and courage, rapidly rising through the ranks to become a legion commander at the age of eighteen.
And after the old Northern Border King passed away, this outstanding figure, who was also the youngest legion commander in history, naturally became the new Northern Border King as everyone had hoped. That year, he was only twenty!
In the following three years, this youngest and most powerful Northern Border King in history led them to guard the Northern Border and to battle across the world. Not to mention anything else, just the battle at the Sunset Mountain Range against the Northern Snow Wolf Country was enough to shake the world.
The two legion commanders stood up and then respectfully stood in front of Ye Feng, as if waiting for their lord to issue commands at any moment.
Ye Feng was about to speak when suddenly, there came a rapid knocking from outside the door.
Just as the knocking stopped, there was suddenly a loud crash; the iron gate of the villa's courtyard had been kicked down by someone with a single blow.
"How audacious, who dares to intrude upon this place recklessly!" the two legion commanders were instantly furious, having never encountered such a thing before.
"The brat named Ye Feng, I, the Vice Alliance Hierarch, know you're inside. Hurry up and roll out here to meet your death!"
Outside the door, in the darkness of the night, came Tan Tiannan's arrogant and domineering shout.
