Chapter 146: Red Eyes
Barentrie, the capital of the Tanta Empire, is one of the most important economic cities in the Divine Continent, where merchants from all over the world are looking for a foothold in this city where land is scarce, earning their share of wealth or not. The Imperial Palace of Tanta stands on a high hill to the west of the city, and the magnificent castle built on the hill is like a silent giant, quietly watching the prosperity beneath its feet.
At the foot of the hill where the palace is located, there are the residences of the ministers, and there is also a state guesthouse specially used to entertain foreign guests and officials.
They sacrificed too much for this mission, how to explain it?
The atmosphere of the entire state guesthouse was gloomy, and the officials in charge of receiving them were even more cautious, not daring to say more than half a word.
Until the team led by Xia Feng and Mu Li arrived successfully, they were also in danger along the way, except for the doubts caused by the eyes before, nothing posed a real threat to them, although they were also assassinated and blocked on the way, but they were all easily resolved. When they arrived at their destination, everyone sighed and felt a lot lighter.
Just in case, Hiss stayed outside the border with some of his men, and Zachary took over command of the guards, so that the guards looked a little overstretched.
The tedious negotiations were all thrown to Xia Feng, and Mu Li couldn't wait to run around the lawn as soon as he walked into the gate of the pavilion.
"Angus, Brad, we're coming, quick, come out to meet Miss Ben, hahaha......"
A black shadow came out of the shadows under the pillars and headed straight for Mu Li.
"Miss!"
"Breed!" Mu Li cheered, rushed over to Breed, and hugged him, "Haha, Breed, I'm so happy, meet again, hahaha......"
Breed was obviously frightened by Mu Li's unexpected enthusiasm, reflected for two seconds, and also reached out to hug the beautiful girl in his arms: "Miss!"
The surprises and surprises she brought to them were so real, they were simply earth-shattering, once their world was only each other and their masters, but now ...... Thank you, thank you so much!
"Woo......" Mu Li raised his head in surprise, looking at Bred and frowning slightly, "You ......"
"Do you want to ignore me even with your rapid relationship?" Xia Feng walked over, his tone full of jealousy.
Brad let go of Mu Li, and was about to salute when Xia Feng came to his side, but Xia Feng hugged him first, for his safety, for his growth, for nearly a month, he completed the task with complete hands, and Qina returned safely to the Tanta Empire, this is the biggest achievement, he doesn't need them to salute him, he just needs them to treat themselves as family, share this happiness together, and share the success of this moment.
"Master!" Brad's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't say a word after all.
"Good work!" Xia Feng said with a smile.
Brad only felt a pain in his heart, and the feeling of suffocation forced his eyes to shake, and he had to close his eyes to relieve the pain of that moment.
Mu Liwei's frowning brows never opened, and a pair of eyes searched left and right, back and forth: "What about Angus, why aren't you together?"
Before the words fell, Mu Li was surprised to see that Breed let go of Xia Feng with a pale face, and before they could react, he had already knelt down in front of Xia Feng with both knees.
Xia Feng was stunned, slowly retreated a big step, stared at the self-reproachful and painful expression on Breed's face, his eyes turned cold, such a humble phantom starry sky has never been there, and he will never allow it.
"What are you doing, Brad?" Mu Li asked directly, "What's wrong?"
"Where's Angus?" Xia Feng asked, so direct, even cruel.
As if realizing something, Mu Li suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Feng, whose expression was unprecedentedly serious, and immediately turned his gaze back to Breed.
"Angus ......" Brad lowered his head, stared at the grass in front of him, and took a long breath before gritting his teeth and replying, "He didn't follow......"
Mu Liluo stepped forward, grabbed Brad's collar and lifted the man up, forcing him to look at him.
"Say it clearly!" The cold tone of the word was like frozen ice, "What do you mean you haven't followed?"
After all, there was no way to face him, so Breed didn't look over: "We were attacked halfway, and Angus was responsible for covering our retreat......"
The throat seemed to be blocked by a hard object, and the words behind him could not be spoken, but Xia Feng and Mu Li had already understood everything.
Mu Li's hand slowly let go, his eyes were a little dull, half-frustrated, one hand reached over and hugged her stiff shoulder, the strength was great, his fingertips almost sank into the flesh, it was certain that he wanted to appease her, but he couldn't even control his emotions, he was the one who needed support.
"Xia Feng!" Mu Li grabbed Xia Feng's hand on his shoulder, his fingers were cold to the bone.
Xia Feng didn't respond, and with the other hand he pulled Brad to stand up, far away, Charles was hurrying over, even if he was sad, it was not the time to entangle.
"What the hell is going on?" Xia Feng asked so calmly, his gentle voice as always, as if with magical power, calmed Breed's chaotic mind.
“...... As we were about to cross the Ikanathan border, our officers in charge of inspection saw through the camouflage, and a battle broke out...... Angus stayed behind to hold off the enemy, and I broke through with Princess Qina, and by that time, the Lanye was about to sink......"
Xia Feng paused, then nodded, and while letting go of Mu Li, he returned to his usual indifference, and at this time, Charles had already come closer.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......"
"You have done a good job, thank you for me, master. Xia Feng said to Brad, "I will also make corresponding compensation for the loss"
Brad nodded his head and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
Charles looked at the place where Bred disappeared, and saluted Xia Feng excitedly: "Your Highness, it's great that you and your lord can be safe, we are ...... Thanks to the two bodyguards and everyone working together, I was able to come here......"
Xia Feng helped the frightened Charles and walked inside, and Mu Li followed behind with a gloomy expression.
After pacifying the survivors of the mission and arranging the next matters, it was already two hours later, and he didn't even have time to deal with many things.
The sky was a little dark, and Xia Feng walked into the room arranged for him, and the exhaustion could no longer hide the sweeping over.
"Xia Feng?" Mu Li looked at his slightly pale side face worriedly.
Brad, who had been standing in the room waiting for them, also hurriedly greeted him: "Master?" He is in really bad health right now, "You need to rest." ”
Xia Feng waved his hand, ripped open his neckline with one hand and sat down on the sofa.
"Any further news?"
“...... The only thing we know is that after we left, fierce fighting broke out in that area, but we don't know the exact situation. Brad replied, "I've informed you that they should be on their way to Icanathan by this time. ”
Xia Feng closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and said, "Find Angus, no matter what the price is." ”
“...... Yes!" Brad glanced at Mu Li, his voice almost crying, because he was afraid that the possibility would be almost non-existent.
Xia Fenghuo raised his head, his eyes were gloomy, and his smile was cruel: "What are you questioning?"
Brad suddenly froze and knelt on one knee: "Yes, master!"
Mu Li was startled, and hurriedly blocked in front of Breed, glaring at Xia Feng coldly: "Xia Feng!"
Xia Feng was stunned for a while, leaned back on the sofa weakly, slowly lowered his eyes, and then spoke, his voice was hoarse: "...... None of you shall die or leave me without my permission......"
Brad gritted his teeth to keep his emotions from spiraling out of control.
Mu Li sighed lightly, turned around and pulled Brad up: "Who the hell is it that can directly see through the disguise?"
“...... I have investigated before you came, and the young officer's name was Brandon Palmer, the youngest son of Duke Adolf Palmer of Icanathan, and a lieutenant colonel, but when I came into contact with him, I found that his position in the army seemed to be very special, and he was even more arrogant than those who were higher in rank than him......"
Xia Feng raised his hand to stop Brad's explanation, rubbed his aching eyebrows, and said, "I'm not interested in knowing who he is, but he needs to know what the price will pay for offending Phantom Starry Sky." ”
Xia Feng Yanhua's anger is often invisible, and because of this, when he shows it, it is even more terrifying, even Brad, who is extremely close to him, at this moment, he also deeply felt the unstoppable bloody breath, frozen, torn fear tightened every inch of his body, almost suffocated.
"No one can survive after hurting my people. Xia Feng waved his hand, "Go and investigate him and everything related to him." ”
Braid's eyes widened in surprise, and the next second he intuitively looked at Mu Li, Mu Li shook his head, angry and sad people have no reason at all, and it is useless to say anything at this time.
"Yes!" said Braid, who had no choice but to leave.
Xia Feng's tense nerves also relaxed in an instant, he held his head weakly with both hands, and muttered deeply to himself: "My fault, it's all my fault, I should be more careful, I should think of all the problems...... It's my fault......"
"Xia Feng!" Mu Li hurriedly grabbed Xia Feng's hand in shock, squatted in front of him, and looked at him seriously, "It's going to be fine, Angus will definitely come back safely, Xiao Fengfeng, believe him, he is Angus!"
Xia Feng's helpless eyes looked into Mu Li's dark eyes, and he couldn't move away for a long time, he withdrew his worries, there was no sadness, and even the bloodthirsty cruelty slowly disappeared without a trace, and his eyes returned to their original cleanliness and purity.
