Chapter 800: Chapter 9: Three Thousand Martial Artists, As If the Emperor Himself Arrived The Third Prince asked directly. Li Fei looked at him: “True self, Your Highness as well.” The Third Prince laughed, swiftly folding his fan, and gestured towards Li Fei: “Ah, you, oversimplify military achievements and underestimate the Northern Barbarians.” Li Fei calmly replied: “In everything, one must try. This path of mine has been paved by trying.” The Third Prince collected his laughter and nodded: “Indeed, after all, you are the greatest hero in history, miracles often accompany you.” “Well then, I’m not here to persuade you, but to provide some intelligence.” “Please, Your Highness.” Aware that the other possesses ‘Under Heaven,’ Li Fei dared not underestimate the intelligence he provided. “The commander of this expeditionary army is Bai Yan, the Deputy Pavilion Master of Zhi Ge Pavilion.” The Third Prince said. Li Fei had briefly encountered this Great Grandmaster. Back then, it was Bai Yan who traveled from Lanling City to Tianshui City to escort Ye Zhao from Li Fei to the capital personally. “Bai Yan fought his way out step by step from the Border Army. After establishing military achievements, he entered Zhi Ge Pavilion and eventually became Deputy Pavilion Master. His famous battle was leading over three hundred elite forces deep into the Wilderness and destroying a division of the Fire Qilin Clan, bringing back over a thousand heads, including that of a Martial Arts Master!” The Third Prince continued: “Because he has experience fighting the Northern Barbarians and leading long distance raids in the Wilderness jungle, he’s the commander of this expeditionary army. The intelligence I want to provide is related to him.” “Please, Your Highness.” “Bai Yan was able to destroy that division of the Fire Qilin Clan because he had a love affair with the Fire Qilin Clan’s grand elder’s daughter, who provided him with intelligence.” “Bai Yan used the grand elder’s daughter, who was ultimately executed by the elder himself. This time, Father Emperor letting Bai Yan lead the troops is both advantageous and disadvantageous. I’ve spoken of the advantages; the downside is that your expeditionary army may face the Fire Qilin Clan’s furious retaliation! That grand elder is a top-level True Master of ‘Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Great Perfection,’ an extremely terrifying force.” After hearing the Third Prince’s words, Li Fei was somewhat puzzled: “Why does Your Highness want to tell me these things?” The Third Prince smiled: “Since we seek cooperation, naturally, some sincerity must be shown. I believe, no matter what achievements you attain in the Northern Territory, ultimately, you’ll still need my assistance!” Li Fei was silent for a moment and then said to the Third Prince: “Thank you, Your Highness, for the intelligence.” Then he opened the car door and got off. The Third Prince suddenly called to him. Li Fei turned back to look at him. The Third Prince: “Return alive.” Li Fei nodded: “Of course.” He closed the car door and walked away. The Third Prince’s intelligence was indeed valuable. At the very least, it allowed Li Fei to investigate the Fire Qilin Clan documents in advance and prepare targeted measures. As for possibly encountering the terrifyingly powerful Fire Qilin Clan grand elder, Li Fei wasn’t too worried. The target of this expeditionary army is, after all, to decapitate Northern Barbarian King Bo’erhu! If even the defeated generals of the enemy pose a challenge, how can there be talk of execution? Li Fei contemplated all the way back to the station entrance, ready to take his men inside. Suddenly, a voice rang out from afar. Several people turned and saw the Imperial Eunuch Feng Cheng. He held a wooden box and paced towards them. Although he seemingly walked slowly, the few hundred meters felt like mere footsteps beneath him, crossed in the blink of an eye. Li Fei felt a chill in his heart, vaguely sensing the [No Distance] Divine Skill from Feng Cheng, whose expertise far surpassed his own! “Greetings, Father Feng.” Li Fei and Lv Wenxing saluted together. Feng Cheng remained smiling: “Marquis Jing’an, Your Majesty sends me to see you off and to give you something.” With that, he handed the wooden box to Li Fei, and his next words could only be heard by Li Fei: “Your Majesty said, after you arrive at the Northern Territory, the imperial edict appointing you as the Expeditionary Army Supervisor and commander of the Blue Patrol Pavilion Martial Artists will follow. He asked me to give you this token first.” Li Fei took the wooden box, opened it. Inside was a gold token engraved with a coiled dragon, subtly emitting an aura of majesty, a vast presence! Four words were inscribed on the front of the token— As if I were present. Looking at the gold token in the box, Li Fei was silent for a moment. He glanced towards the Imperial Palace, then looked at Feng Cheng: “Please convey my heart, shown on the day’s message, to His Majesty.” “Please speak, Marquis Jing’an.” “All my intentions are on the paper left that day.” Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng felt chilled. He knew the contents of that note, and at that moment, the two lines on it came to mind: “Through battle across three thousand miles, a single sword can block a million master troops!” Feng Cheng gravely said to Li Fei: “Rest assured, Marquis Jing’an, I will deliver it word for word to His Majesty.” Li Fei nodded: “Thank you, Father Feng, farewell.” Feng Cheng, for the first time, solemnly saluted Li Fei: “May Marquis Jing’an return triumphant.” “Certainly.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ nοvelfire.net Li Fei returned the salute, carrying the ‘As if I were present’ gold token, and departed.
