Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 292 - 290: Princess Vermilion Bird Defects, Allied Armies Invade

Chapter 292: Chapter 290: Princess Vermilion Bird Defects, Allied Armies Invade

Early the next morning, Princess Vermilion Bird stood outside Xia Feng’s tent with a panicked look, waiting anxiously.

Feng Yu gave her a puzzled glance, "Does the Queen have any matters?"

Princess Vermilion Bird’s face showed obvious hesitation, unsure if she should share this with Feng Yu.

But at this moment, Xia Feng spoke from inside the tent, "Come in."

With a hint of nervousness, Princess Vermilion Bird entered the tent.

Normally, tents would have dim lighting, but for some reason, the Great Xia Emperor’s Son placed a Treasure Pearl that made the entire tent brighter than outside.

This was the first time Princess Vermilion Bird met the Great Xia Emperor’s Son, and her first impression was his youth.

Unlike those Martial Sovereigns who were very old but still maintained a youthful appearance.

The Great Xia Emperor’s Son’s youth emanated from within.

She recalled that the young man in front of her was only twenty years old, not even a fraction of her age.

After hesitating for a moment, she earnestly performed a bowing ceremony, "Greetings to the Great Xia Emperor’s Son."

Xia Feng slightly curled his lips, casually playing with two pearls in his hand.

"What brings Princess Vermilion Bird here?"

At the door, Feng Yu called her Queen, but Xia Feng called her Princess Vermilion Bird.

Princess Vermilion Bird instinctively shivered, wondering if this young man in front of her had seen through her little schemes with the Vermilion Bird Empire.

Seeing that she was silent, Xia Feng twirled the pearls in his hand a bit faster, "If you don’t speak, shall I make a guess?"

"Did the Vermilion Bird Emperor contact you?"

He lazily yawned, finding the woman standing before him somewhat dull, "Consider carefully how you respond to Li Huo Empress’s future arrangements."

Princess Vermilion Bird’s heart skipped a beat, unsure how the man in front of her knew the methods she and the Vermilion Bird Emperor used to pass messages.

But on one hand, there was her future descendants, and on the other hand, there was her beloved.

Princess Vermilion Bird stood there with a slightly stiff expression, unsure of how to speak.

Xia Feng rubbed his chin, his expression tinged with curiosity, "What, is there another matter?"

Princess Vermilion Bird shook her head, then pressed her lips tightly together.

Beside her, Feng Yu was already a bit speechless with her, stood up and prepared to see her out. As she was leaving, she unwillingly turned back and asked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll reveal Li Huo’s current situation?"

Xia Feng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, "Go ahead, Li Huo is currently in chaos; I’m overwhelmed, say what you want to say."

"It’s all truth anyway."

"And besides, I want to remind you, when I entered the hall, Emperor Li Huo specifically told me to have you taken as a hostage to Great Xia."

"Tsk tsk, look, how deep is the love, he even left such a good opportunity for you."

Princess Vermilion Bird’s face turned green instantly, she gritted her teeth, turned and thanked Xia Feng.

"Thank you, Great Xia Emperor’s Son, for the reminder."

After saying this, the woman swayed her hips and stormed out in anger.

Feng Yu frowned slightly at the woman, feeling a natural dislike.

However, this had little to do with him; it was just her disrespect towards Xia Feng that made him a bit displeased.

Xia Feng threw the pearls he was playing with onto the table, letting out a light snort.

Feng Yu took a closer look and realized the pearls were actually Luminous Pearls found earlier in the Great Li National Treasury, rare ones the size of an infant’s fist, which the Emperor’s Son would play with like walnuts when he was idle.

Now, they were carelessly tossed onto the table, without fear of them falling.

Xia Feng glanced at him, "Have someone keep an eye; it seems I miscalculated, the Vermilion Bird Empire hasn’t given up on this love-sick princess yet."

Feng Yu did not understand what being love-sick meant, but he obediently took his orders and left.

After some time, just as Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu were fortifying the Li Huo Province to be like a steel drum, new battle reports arrived.

Xia Feng opened them and his smile became more genuine.

Gu Sha leaned over for a look and clicked his tongue, "So, these two countries have finally agreed to target us?"

"If they don’t come soon, I won’t be able to keep up the act."

Xia Feng glared at him briefly, then refocused his gaze on the map.

During this time, he was constantly prodding Princess Vermilion Bird, giving her false information to pass on to the Vermilion Bird Empire.

Now that Vermilion Bird and the Southern Barbarians couldn’t resist any longer and were ready to strike.

Thus, the incompetent Emperor Li Huo could finally be dealt with.

These days, Emperor Li Huo often visited Xia Feng to discuss matters, each time bringing up the issue of who should take power in the Li Huo Empire.

Each time, Xia Feng would brush it off with a laugh, but he was actually quite fed up with it.

Seeing that Vermilion Bird and the Southern Barbarians were finally moving, he couldn’t help but signal to Feng Yu with his eyes.

Feng Yu instantly understood, turned around, and went out.

Two days later, just as the Southern Barbarians and Vermilion Bird armies were about to reach the Li Huo Border, an incident occurred in the Li Huo Empire.

Not a big incident, just that Emperor Li Huo was disrespectful to Princess Vermilion Bird, and accidentally got beaten to death when she hit him.

When the news spread, the attitudes of various parties were quite intriguing.

Previously, it was heard that Princess Vermilion Bird was quite obedient to her door-step husband. Did she really beat him?

And killed him?

No matter how inadequate, Emperor Li Huo was a Martial Sovereign. Who would believe there wasn’t some intrigue involved?

But the common people believed it, and even the people of the Li Huo Empire thought it was pretty good.

They originally belonged to Vermilion Bird, and since Emperor Li Huo arrived, they lived in hardship.

Now hearing that Emperor Li Huo was beaten to death by Princess Vermilion Bird, they were even more excited.

Xia Feng turned to look at Gu Sha, "Hold the line?"

Gu Sha seriously nodded, "Hold the line, counter-attack them!"

Xia Feng rolled his eyes and then glanced at Chen Hongyu beside him. Chen Hongyu also looked a bit helpless, "Don’t worry, I’ll keep reminding Gu Sha."

Only then did Xia Feng slightly relax, and once the two armies were fully caught in Great Xia’s ambush, Xia Feng turned and drove the Spirit Light Flying Boat towards the Northern Continent.

Now everyone outside knew Xia Feng had a vessel capable of fast travel, but no one knew this vessel required no recharging and was a Divine Artifact.

There were all sorts of speculations about this vessel, some saying it was a one-time use, others saying it could only be used once every six months, or even once a year.

In any case, they speculated based on the fact that Xia Feng didn’t use it the last time he crossed the Northeast Sea.

Xia Feng took advantage of this opportunity to return to the Da Li Province Capital with Feng Yu and began to regroup soldiers.

The million soldiers previously taken were all Great Xia People, whereas this time, soldiers from other countries were being enlisted.

Finally, after gathering around another hundred people, Xia Feng stood at a height to give them a pre-battle speech.
