Chapter 686 - The Emperor of Xi Yuan Nation

Feng Tianlan took a step back and saw that he was still approaching her. She raised her hand right away, struck him hard and sent him flying out of her way. Then in a cold voice, she said, “I saved your life, but not for you to go crazy like that.”

“Dai’er…” He Lianhuang struggled as he tried to get up, but he could only go so far as to lifting his head. Then he crashed to the ground again and fainted.

“Big Brother Lan, do you know him?” asked Xiao Xiao, looking at He Lianhuang who still looked so exquisitely handsome even though he was reduced to such a sorry wreck.

Mei’er rubbed her body against Feng Tianlan’s arm and asked, “Xiao Lan’er, isn’t it enough that you’ve me to warm your bed?”

Azurite stepped forward and pulled Mei’er away, forbidding her from getting close to Feng Tianlan.

With a calm, solemn expression, Feng Tianlan went up to He Lianhuang to check on his injuries. He had multiple injuries all over his body after receiving so many deadly blows. If he had not dodged fast enough, he would have died upon being struck a fatal blow.

“He is the Seventh Prince of Xi Yuan Nation.” Feng Tianlan took out a Grade 5 Quick Healing Pill and made He Lianhuang swallow it. Then she channeled some Wood Spiritual Force to him to ease his spiritual force that had gone haywire.

“He Lianhuang?” Mei’er frowned. It seemed like this was not the Seventh Prince.

The commander looked at He Lianhuang, who was extremely handsome yet a little weak. He then looked at Feng Tianlan and asked, “Crazy missy, don’t you know that He Lianhuang has become the Emperor of Xi Yuan Nation?”

“Become the emperor? Isn’t he a guest in Dongshu Nation?” From what she remembered, when she died, He Lianhuang was still a guest in the palace of Dongshu Nation. To put it across nicely, he was there as a guest. In truth, he was a hostage.

For the sake of developing a friendship to prevent war from happening, the two nations had exchanged hostages with each other. That was to say, even the hostage at Xi Yuan Nation was released and had returned home.

The commander of the Regiment gently sighed and said, “Two years ago, He Lianhuang returned to Xi Yuan Nation. And one year ago, he ascended the throne and became emperor. Up till today, he hasn’t established a firm foundation for himself. I’m afraid that someone will attempt to assassinate him and stage a revolt. If you don’t know him, then it’s best you leave him alone.”

Feng Tianlan looked at He Lianhuang’s pale face and said, “Let’s take him with us first. After all, he’s the emperor of a nation, so there’ll be benefits to saving him somehow or rather. Moreover, if there’s instability in Xi Yuan Nation, and both nations go to war, only the people will suffer.”

With that said, she took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the bloodstains off his face. Then she applied the Face Changing Elixir and drew a very ordinary face for him, the kind of face that no one would recognize if he was thrown into a crowd of people.

He Lianhuang would still be hunted down, so it was still best for him to put on a disguise.

“This is the border of Xi Yuan Nation. What’s an emperor like him doing here?” Yang Zhengfei asked. He had no good feelings for the emperor — to be exact, he did not like any emperor at all.

Feng Tianlan calculated the time and said, “It should be because the Prince of Dongshu Nation is marrying his Crown Princess.”

“With imperial envoys, there’s simply no need for an emperor to personally turn up for such a trivial matter.”

“He and Xi Crown Prince are close like brothers, so he’ll definitely go there in person.” Feng Tianlan avoided touching the wounds on He Lianhuang’s body as she helped him up. Then she asked Da Da, “Da Da, can you piggyback him?”

Without hesitation, Da Da went forward and carried He Lianhuang on his back.

Feng Tianlan thought for a moment, then took out a cloak and covered He Lianhuang with it. The clothes he was wearing would easily attract the attention of the next batch of assassins.

Xiao Xiao and the others looked at one another but no one asked Feng Tianlan any more questions. It was obvious she knew He Lianhuang. Otherwise she would not have come to his rescue so readily. And she would not have known that He Lianhuang was fast friends with Xi Crown Prince.

Also, how did she get to know the Emperor of Xi Yuan Nation and the Crown Prince of Dongshu Nation?

It seemed that her identity was not as simple as it appeared to be.

However, if Feng Tianlan did not say anything, they would not ask either. They only needed to know that she was a member of the United Mercenary Regiment and their benefactor, Feng Tianlan. That was all they needed to know!
