TPE Chapter 19

“… Let go… I’ll be fine…” There was a vast difference in their body weights. Jiang Si’s petite figure was already starting to slide off the cliff, given Fengzhen’s weight, and the latter suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety. 

As Jiang Si thought about how she might not be able to transmigrate back once Fengzhen fell off the cliff, her eyes reddened and she gritted her teeth to say, “Your Majesty, bear with it for a while more. The guards will be here to save us soon…” 

Behind her, the clash of swords continued, and it seemed as though the swords were going to slash her anytime soon. Even though Jiang Si said that she was not going to let go of Fengzhen, she was still terrified inside. Hence, her tears started to fall uncontrollably, and slowly dripped onto Fengzhen’s face. 

Fengzhen saw every drop of tear from Jiang Si fall onto his face. They were warm and gentle. They were clearly such small and insignificant objects, but they caused a multitude of waves in his usually calm heart. 

On the other hand, the guards were once again subdued by the assassins. And then, he saw the black-clothed assassins rush up, and were about to lower their swords onto Jiang Si’s hands! 

That was enough! Fengzhen’s stern gaze fell upon the assassin. His toes lightly tapped the wall of the cliff, and instantly, he flew up the cliff and kicked the assassin away in the blink of an eye! 

“Capture all of the assassins!” 

With Fengzhen’s orders, the guards’ acupoints seemed to have been cleared. They were clearly at a disadvantage earlier, but in the next second, all of them became martial arts experts, and very soon, they managed to capture some assassins, and killed the others.

Yet, the person who was least likely to rush out, Jiang Si, had held on to him tightly! It seemed as though she was willing to throw away her life just to ensure that he was safe. At that moment, he was extremely touched and astounded by Jiang Si’s actions. Even till now, he could feel his heart trembling from that memory. 

“Your Majesty, the head of the guards have something to report.” Outside the tent, Jinbao reported in a soft whisper. 

Fengzhen got up in very light movements, then dressed himself and walked out of the tent. The head of the guards was waiting outside, and when he saw Fengzhen, he reported softly, “Your Majesty, the assassins are really from Country Yan, but they refused to reveal who their spy within the palace was. And… Their leader committed suicide by taking poison…” 

Prior to this, he had already heard of news that the remnant people of Country Yan wanted to assassinate him, hence he played along with their plans. He had long known that there was a spy from Country Yan, hence he wanted to use this opportunity to lure the spy out. It was precisely for this reason that he was captured. At the same time, he wanted to see how many of his ministers were truly loyal to him if he fell off the cliff. However, with Jiang Si’s actions, the entire plan was ruined. 

Even though the plan failed, Fengzhen felt that the entire plan was not in vain. After all, he had obtained the most precious feelings in the world. 

“Continue to investigate the spy from Country Yan.” After leaving his instructions, Fengzhen returned to the tent.
