The attic is quiet, and you can clearly hear the footsteps coming downstairs outside.
The man on the bed stared at the ceiling in trance. It took half a quarter of an hour before his fingers moved slowly.
The phone was placed next to him. After fumbling for a long time, he dialed out a long list of strange numbers.
The call was connected, and a rich man's voice came from the other side: "Hey, who are you?"
"It's me!" Ye Feng said with his Adam's apple in a deep voice.
"Wang...wangye, are you the king?"
The other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then asked with surprise: "Thank God, Your Majesty, you are still alive after all, you are still alive!"
With his Adam's apple turning, Ye Feng said with difficulty: "How is the situation in the north?"
"Back to your lord, the Northern Territory is now in chaos. After your accident, the Northern Territory has no owner and the whole army is in chaos. It turns out that the Shanying organization has always been the minions of some big figures in the imperial capital!"
The man on the phone pondered for a moment, then continued: "The day after your accident, the Imperial Capital sent the Iron Armored Army, saying that they were ordered to take over the Northern Territory Army. Gai Jiutian, the chief army commander, directly took his black blood sword and killed all the Iron Armored Army.
, that battle aroused the blood in his body, and he had to seal himself in the cold pool!"
"Leng Wuming, the commander of the Second Legion, realized that Shan Ying was going to attack the legion, so he took the initiative and killed several of Shan Ying's top killers, but he was also seriously injured and lost his arm!"
"After Commander Leng Wuming lost his arm, he temporarily retreated to the mountains to practice cultivation. He said he would wait for the prince to return and continue to follow you to conquer the world!"
The phone fell into a brief silence, and Ye Feng asked: "Who is betraying?"
"The fifth, sixth and eighth legions have now gone to the imperial capital to show their loyalty!"
As the saying goes, adversity reveals the true and the traitor, and this is absolutely true.
The man on the phone said bitterly: "Since this period of time, several other legion commanders and I have been looking for your whereabouts. We always firmly believe that you, Your Majesty, cannot be killed so easily. It's really God's will!"
"By the way, Your Majesty, where are you now? I'll find you right away!"
"No need, stay dormant until I come back!"
Ye Feng was covered in injuries and had difficulty speaking. He could only speak in his throat, his voice was hoarse and low, and his tone was extremely angry.
"It's the prince, but prince, you are seriously injured now, and my subordinates can't worry about you after all. It is not convenient for me to show up during this period. I will send a top-secret guard over..."
Before the man finished speaking, a busy tone came from the phone.
His indifferent eyes looked at the ceiling again, and the attic returned to silence. However, under the silence, Ye Feng's inner anger surged.
How many loyal and brave soldiers of the Northern Border Army, their bodies wrapped in horse leather in a foreign country, have guarded the mountains and rivers for thousands of years with their lives.
But those so-called scholars in the imperial capital killed loyal people for their own selfish interests and ignored the safety of the country.
The Northern Legion had just returned to their homeland after a fierce battle. They didn't even recover from their injuries before they were caught up in a conspiracy to compete for power in the imperial capital.
The imperial capital lured Ye Feng to the capital on the grounds of a reward, but they set up a shocking ambush outside the capital.
"Mountain Eagle, when I recover from my injury, I will uproot you!"
"Imperial Capital, I am a villain, the day I return will be the day you die!" Ye Feng roared in his heart.
In that battle, facing the eight guardians of Shan Ying and the eighteen powerful men from the imperial capital, he was outnumbered and seventy-two bones in his body were broken.
Despite being seriously injured, he went all the way south and fled thousands of miles to Jiangdu, the place where he grew up.
Perhaps his fate should not have been cut off, because he met the guard captain who was the commander of the army ten years ago, who is now the old man Hong Zhenguo.
Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes, exhaled for a long time and then took a deep breath. As he breathed out and inhaled, his chest seemed to rise and fall in a certain pattern.
Gradually, the white mist visible to the naked eye gathered, slowly entering his body and repairing his injuries.
It was late at night, and everything was quiet. Outside the attic, Mr. Hong was still standing upright, and Hong Qingyan stood beside him, not daring to make a sound.
Although she was full of questions and curiosity, she didn't dare to ask unless her grandfather told him.
Hong Qingyan finally couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, he is so seriously injured, why not send him to the hospital?"
"inconvenient!"
"Even if it's inconvenient, you should at least ask a doctor to take a look, right?"
"No need!"
Hong Zhenguo's tone was short and forceful. When he was in the army, his status was not low, and he also developed some dignity.
Hong Qingyan could only remain silent.
Hong Zhenguo looked at his granddaughter and had to explain: "He has a special status. Before he passed out, he promised not to go to the hospital or see a doctor."
"But……"
"Okay Qing'er, grandpa knows that you are full of confusion, but now is not the time to ask. The reason why grandpa wants you to marry her is also for safety and trust. Your task during this period is to take good care of him wholeheartedly.
have you understood?"
"It's grandpa." Hong Qingyan lowered her head and responded.
Hong Zhenguo reached out and patted his granddaughter on the head and said with a smile: "Although you were abandoned by your parents, God finally took pity on you. You may not know yet what a right decision you made tonight."
"Grandpa worked hard, you will understand later."
At this moment, a slight shout suddenly came from the attic above: "Here comes someone!"
Hearing these two words, Hong Zhenguo seemed to have heard an imperial edict and jumped up with a whoosh. Hong Qingyan had to climb up step by step.
"Wang..." Hong Zhenguo had just spoken when he suddenly realized something was wrong, so he quickly changed his words: "What are your orders?"
"Water!" Ye Feng said only one word on the bed.
"Yes, I'll get ready right now!" Hong Zhenguo was very excited. Since he wanted to drink water, it meant that his health was showing signs of improvement.
"I have a thousand-year-old ginseng at home. I will use it to make ginseng water. It should be useful for your body!"
Hong Zhenguo left in a hurry. This old man of the Hong family, the helmsman of the Jiangdu Hongtian Group, looked like a servant at this moment.
Thousand-year-old ginseng water boiled out quickly, and Hong Zhenguo handed the bowl to Hong Qingyan: "Qing'er, feed him, be careful!"
Hong Qingyan took the bowl, picked up the spoon, and put spoonfuls into the other person's mouth.
It's just that during the whole process, the man on the bed was staring at the ceiling without blinking, not even saying thank you, not even looking at her.
Hong Qingyan couldn't help but feel angry. Although she was weak, she was not ugly. She was even considered a beauty in Jiangdu.
But the man on the bed completely ignored her!
Hong Zhenguo explained with a smile: "I forgot to introduce you. She is my granddaughter Hong Qingyan. From now on, she will be yours. You can absolutely trust her. Don't worry about this!"
Ye Feng didn't say anything on the bed, his eyes still staring at the ceiling. After a while, he said: "That's enough, I want to rest."
"Yes!" Hong Zhenguo nodded and implemented his words 100%.
Just when he came to the door, Hong Zhenguo turned back: "By the way, out of trust and convenience, I have the courage to betroth Qingyan to you."
"During this period, she will always take care of you, please don't be offended!"
Ye Feng has slowly closed his eyes and entered into a regular breathing process.
