First Volume, Chapter 1267: Walking Straight Into Our Arms

Qin Tianhu glared at Qin Feng and snapped, "Four wives and two concubines—still not enough? You're too greedy!"

"Just marrying two wives was already an exception."

"After all, Li Xiaolan is Princess Mingyue—she could never be your concubine—and Jing Qianying is the Bei Di Nü Huang; if she became your concubine, wouldn't it shame all of Bei Di?"

"Fortunately, Xie Yun'er is virtuous and doesn't compete—otherwise you'd have married three wives at once!"

"Do you know that you can have only one jiefa wife?"

Qin Feng knew perfectly well—the principal wife, or the lawful lady of a household in Folk custom, was the jiefa wife, the true mistress of the home; all other women could only be concubines.

Qin Feng had married two wives at once—this alone broke countless precedents.

And now, Qin Feng actually wanted to legitimize Xie Yun'er, freeing her from Liang's ritual constraints and making her a wife too—how could Qin Tianhu not be stunned?

Most crucially, this little scoundrel hadn't even spared Shen Qingci.

Qin Tianhu couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing: "You brat, I only had four yi nu—and you've claimed three of them."

"Anyone who didn't know would think I was raising wives just for you!"

"Even rabbits don't eat the grass by their own burrow—but you? You've devoured every last blade!"

After being scolded by Qin Tianhu from head to toe, Qin Feng felt no shame at all; instead, he smirked and muttered under his breath: "Actually… I can't bear to let go of Second Sister either."

What?!

Qin Tianhu's eyes widened—he knew Qin Feng and Liu Hongyan were close, even too close.

But he'd never once linked Qin Feng and Liu Hongyan together—yet now, this little rascal had set his sights on Liu Hongyan too.

All four yi nu—Qin Feng had taken them all!

If the Qin Family hadn't already moved out of Jingdu, they'd have become a laughingstock of the capital.

Seeing Qin Tianhu's face flushed with rage, Qin Feng merely shrugged: "If Father finds this too hard to swallow, it's simple—just expel Elder Sister and Second Sister from the family."

Qin Tianhu grabbed Qin Feng's collar, ready to properly punish this "guardian-turned-thief" brat, when the carriage suddenly stopped—and a shout reached his ears: Zhao Zhenhai's voice.

"Prince Qin, a roadblock ahead!"

A roadblock?!

Qin Feng's eyes lit up; he immediately wrenched free from Qin Tianhu's grip and grinned foolishly: "Father, calm down—let me handle this emergency first."

Saying that, Qin Feng slipped away and leapt out of the carriage.

Watching Qin Feng's carefree back, Qin Tianhu first turned beet red with anger—then burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahaha! No wonder you're my son—even if you're a scoundrel, your audacity carries the spirit I had in my youth!"

Qin Feng pulled out Qin Tianhu's demonic palm and sprinted to Zhao Zhenhai's side, eager: "Where's the roadblock?"

Zhao Zhenhai looked utterly bewildered: "Prince Qin, what's wrong with you?"

"You know there's a roadblock—why are you so excited? Don't you feel any worry at all?"

Qin Feng grinned broadly: "Why worry?"

"The Brocade Uniform Guards already mapped out the surroundings—the Jingji Garrison never showed up. To threaten us, they'd need to send thousands, even tens of thousands of troops."

"Such a large force couldn't move fast enough to catch up with us."

"As for the local garrisons nearby? Too weak to matter."

"And anyone who could sneak close to our convoy under the Brocade Uniform Guards' noses must be a small band—so even if every one of them were a super-elite warrior capable of fighting a hundred, they're still no threat."

Not even a handful of Tianji Camp Guards could pose any danger to Qin Feng.

So in Qin Feng's eyes, no matter who these roadblocks were, they were simply walking straight into death.

Seeing Qin Feng had already figured everything out, Zhao Zhenhai, impressed, calmly explained:

"They're a group of Dead Soldiers—fewer than a hundred, lying in ambush by the roadside, apparently planning to strike you. But as soon as they made contact with our vanguard, they were exposed."

"We still don't know their origins—they're now surrounded and will likely be wiped out soon."

Hearing this, Qin Feng's interest surged—he wanted to see who dared assassinate him at this moment.

After all, the convoy carried so many important Jia Guan—anyone who dared attack it, Qin Feng would obliterate without hesitation!

Under Zhao Zhenhai's protection, Qin Feng reached the front of the convoy—and indeed found a ground littered with corpses.

At least forty to fifty bodies, all of them assassins.

They were called assassins because none wore armor—only black cloth robes.

Qin Feng actually laughed out loud: "Attacking a convoy in nightwear?"

"Do these fools think the Tianji Camp Guards and Black Riders, armed to the teeth, are just decorations?"

Zhao Zhenhai also shook his head: "If we'd known they were this foolish, we wouldn't have disturbed Prince Qin—we could've just had the Black Riders crush them into meat paste and ride right over them."

Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, watching the battle ahead with keen interest.

The remaining ten-plus assassins were completely surrounded by Tianji Camp Guards—the battle was one-sided.

The assassins were about to be wiped out entirely, yet not a single Tianji Camp Guard had died—or even been wounded.

This was the crushing superiority of elite Armored Warriors over cloth-clad assassins.

Seeing the remaining Dead Soldiers still resisting desperately, Qin Feng grew even more intrigued and called out:

"Who are you? Why assassinate me?"

The leader, a Black-Clothed Man, had been gritting his teeth in fierce combat—he froze at Qin Feng's voice, ripped off his mask, and roared: "Qin Feng! Do you still recognize me?!"

Qin Feng froze, studied him closely—and then beamed with delight.

"Wu Heli?!"

"You actually escaped alive from Qilian Mountain?!"

Seeing Wu Heli again felt like a pie had fallen from the sky and smashed into Qin Feng's head.

Back in Yuping County, letting Wu Heli go had led to the deaths of many civilians in Nan Jing—this had always been Qin Feng's lingering guilt.

Moreover, Wu Heli has extremely rich combat experience; capturing him is extremely difficult.

Now that Wu Heli has come to them voluntarily, how could Qin Feng not be delighted?

Qin Feng immediately ordered: "Keep a close watch—do not kill the leader; eliminate all the other Assassins."

Although Wu Heli led the Dead Soldiers in desperate resistance, they were swiftly slaughtered by the Tianji Camp Guards.
