King Fengyu laughed maniacally. Those who did not know better would think that he was seriously ill.
However, Zuo Tang Yixi had other thoughts.
Ning Caichen's heart could not prolong her life, but it could greatly increase her power.
In the past, she had eaten the hearts of powerful people to increase her strength.
Now that there was someone who could increase her cultivation, she was looking forward to it.
Ning Caichen's power was not just average. When the time came to devour his heart, would not his power have increased by several times?
Zuo Tang Yixi was very happy that she could see herself in charge of the cultivation world in the future.
She knew that she should not treat King Fengyu like this, but in the face of such benefits, who was King Fengyu?
"But what should we do now?"
King Fengyu was immediately confused. He was worried and hopeless.
Ning Caichen was really difficult to deal with. How could he possibly beat Ning Caichen?
Zuo Tang Yixi could tell what King Fengyu was thinking. She patted his shoulder and said, "Why are you suddenly so dejected? Are you afraid that you can't defeat Ning Caichen?
"Don't worry, Ning Caichen is nothing. How can you not be able to defeat one person? We have the royal guards of the palace."
King Fengyu felt that what Zuo Tang Yixi said made sense. He then continued, "There are two people beside Ning Caichen. I don't know how strong they are, and I don't know if they will call more people."
"I've already seen it. One of them is a monk from the temple, and the other is the second princess of the Daliang Kingdom. They are nothing special. I can defeat them with a single hand; so, what are you worried about? When the time comes, I won't even need the royal guards. I alone can beat them all!"
Zuo Tang Yixi laughed loudly. Her eyes were already shining with the light of victory, and she was even feeling impatient.
She really needed Ning Caichen!
If she lost this chance, she would not have another chance in the future.
"No, no, no! You're still my trump card."
King Fengyu shook his head.
Zuo Tang Yixi thought for a moment and felt that what King Fengyu said made sense.
In her opinion, the soldiers of the Fengyu Kingdom were all useless. They might not even know who they were fighting, and they would have to rely on her in the end.
She stroked her chin and continued, "I think it's better to let the second general go and see if he can kill Ning Caichen directly. If it's possible, we won't waste any effort."
"I think it's possible. The second general is powerful. I reckon that Ning Caichen and his men will die."
King Fengyu's eyes flashed.
Previously, he had submitted to Ning Caichen because the second general had not come yet. Now that the second general had returned, what was there to be afraid of?
"I'll go and tell the second general now."
At the thought of this, King Fengyu became even more enthusiastic. He headed directly toward the second general's residence.
At this time, Xia Chenjing was drinking tea.
"Second General, the king is here," a servant hurriedly said.
Xia Chenjing suddenly became nervous. He stood up and walked out of the mansion.
As he walked over, he happened to run into King Fengyu.
King Fengyu smiled.
"Second General, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently? You won't go to another country this time, right?"
Xia Chenjing knelt down and said to King Fengyu, "Your Majesty, I was negligent this time. I was focused on another kingdom, and I almost forgot about the Fengyu Kingdom. Now that I'm back, I definitely won't go to another kingdom again."
"That's good! This time, I came here to ask you for a favor. Recently, something big has happened in the Fengyu Kingdom."
The king of the Fengyu Kingdom sighed.
On the other side, on the lake, Jiang Ming could not help but find it strange that King Fengyu had not returned yet.
King Fengyu had not returned for such a long time. It was really rude.
However, as the king, how could he be impolite?
Was King Fengyu doing something else?
Liang Sisi looked at the people around her and secretly said to Jiang Ming, "Speaking of which, I feel that there must be something fishy about the king. He hasn't had the best of luck recently, but he's still so confused. Now that we're going for good, leaving us on this lake is really a little strange. Why don't we go and take a look first?"
Sikong Wuyuan felt that Liang Sisi's words made sense and said to Jiang Ming, "I think it's a good idea. Ning Caichen, let's go together. The people at the banquet are all indulging in wine and music."
Jiang Ming thought for a moment and said, "Alright, we'll leave now. If King Fengyu does anything to us, we'll leave the Fengyu Kingdom overnight. If it weren't for the fact that the king was so suspicious, I wouldn't have come to this lake banquet."
The three of them reached an agreement.
The queen of the Fengyu Kingdom walked over and said to the three of them, "The King must have something important to attend to, which is why he hasn't returned for so long. Please don't blame me. Let me entertain the three of you. If you have any needs, please feel free to tell me."
Sikong Wuyuan did not expect the queen of the Fengyu Kingdom to come. He was speechless.
Just now, they were just waiting here, but the queen did not come.
Now that they were planning to leave, the queen of the Fengyu Kingdom came over.
The queen of the Fengyu Kingdom did not seem to notice Sikong Wuyuan's gaze. She said enthusiastically, "The fruits of the Fengyu Kingdom are the sweetest. There are also some desserts with fruits. Would the three of you like to try them?"
When they heard about the food, Jiang Ming and the other two immediately became nervous. They looked at each other and nodded.
The food at the lake banquet could not be eaten. When the time came, they would have to secretly throw it away.
"This way please."
Seeing that the three of them did not speak for a long time, the queen of the Fengyu Kingdom thought that the three of them had tacitly agreed. She raised her hand and invited the three of them to walk with her.
Jiang Ming and the other two walked after her silently.
They originally did not want to eat the desserts, but they had to find an excuse to go out. They would have to feign sickness after eating.
The queen of the Fengyu Kingdom mocked these three people in her heart.
They really had no manners. She did not know why the king had brought three people over.
The innermost part of the lake was similar to the layout of the palace.
There was a big table in the central hall, and there were some small stools on both sides. Some nobles were already sitting there drinking and having fun.
Jiang Ming and the other two took a look and sat in the most remote corner.
