Ferocious Princess - C357 An invitation from the Duke of Wei

Suddenly, Zhuo Lei felt the entire room shake. Then, a huge door opened, and Zhuo Lei looked at everything in surprise.

Unlike the place he saw last time, the road this time was very wide. Zhuo Lei smiled, in the end, the distrust in National Lord Wei’s shrewdness was actually hiding from him. He was really powerful, this road was most likely an exit from the city!

“Mm, it’s about time. This time, you guys should properly follow me and work hard. In the future, it’ll be our entire world. Hahaha …” When National Lord Wei said this, his laughter was so loud that it almost shattered the roof.

“Congratulations Master!” The group of people kneeled in front of National Lord Wei with the aura of those who had embraced their emperor.

However, the National Lord Wei seemed to be very cunning. Seeing Zhuo Lei tomorrow morning, all of this could be considered as being ready, and then, all of this would be decided by me, by me! The National Lord Wei couldn’t wait to become the emperor, and started to self-proclaim himself as the emperor.

“Big Brother, you said that you are going back to the capital?” Zhuo Jun was in disbelief, wasn’t the timing a little inappropriate?

Zhuo Lei laughed, and naturally knew what Zhuo Lei was thinking, but he realized that he had something more important to do, so he couldn’t delay it. The only thing he needed to do now was to wait for National Lord Wei to come see him, why did he believe that National Lord Wei would come find him, because he had always thought that this National Lord Wei wanted to win him over, so he had to show some sincerity, and at this moment, he was at home waiting for National Lord Wei’s “sincerity”.

Looking at Zhuo Lei’s calm expression, it seemed that he was not worried about his own problems at all. A martial general like him could only shake his head helplessly.

“Well, he should be here soon!” Zhuo Lei laughed, then looked towards the question.

When Zhuo Jun heard Zhuo Lei’s words, in addition to his current expression, there was some doubt in his heart. Then, he followed’s gaze.

“Mistress, National Lord Wei has an invitation!”

Zhuo Lei then stood up and looked at Zhuo Jun, “Let’s go!” Then he took the lead and walked out of the door.

Zhuo Jun naturally followed closely behind, he would not let go of the opportunity to know the truth.

“Nephew, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” National Lord Wei was very enthusiastic this time, his smile seemed to be even more refreshing than the spring wind.

Zhuo Lei smiled, and had already stepped into the doorstep, “National Lord Wei is truly praising this commoner!”

When the National Lord Wei heard that Zhuo Lei suddenly became different, his face sank, and became displeased.

“Zhuo Lei, what you said… Why are you being courteous to me? ” National Lord Wei could not help but reprimand him. After all, he still needed the help of the person in front of him.

Zhuo Lei was startled, then he raised the corner of his mouth deeply and said to the National Lord Wei: “National Lord Wei, you should be clear about what I’m saying. Since you’re willing to cooperate with us, then you shouldn’t hide everything, what kind of cooperation is this!”

When Zhuo Lei said this, he stared at National Lord Wei, who was taller than him by a hair’s breadth.

The National Lord Wei didn’t know where this aura came from, but just because of this matter, the National Lord Wei seemed to be somewhat unreasonable. After all, he was hiding something, but without this method of probing, how would he know if the people from the Zhuo Family were following him?

“I have been ill-advised in my consideration of this matter. I have come to apologize, and in order to show my sincerity, I have prepared something for you two to see!” National Lord Wei still felt that this was enough.

With regards to National Lord Wei’s suggestion, Zhuo Lei did not think that they would continue this dispute. He nodded his head as if he agreed to National Lord Wei’s suggestion.

National Lord Wei stood up and asked the people beside him: “Are you ready?”

“Reporting to master, everything is ready!” The man quickly bowed and replied.

Only then did National Lord Wei say a “please” and let the leader walk to the front.

“I wonder what National Lord Wei can let us see.” Zhuo Jun could not hold herself back, she was on the road and she would see the fight very soon, but she felt that the atmosphere was very good, so he asked.

However, National Lord Wei seemed to have a good temper, he turned and looked at Zhuo Jun, “Enough sincerity, what do you think it is?” Since when did National Lord Wei learn to play Mummies, and speak in such a righteous tone? With a general like Zhuo Jun, he would naturally try to play Mummies like him.

As expected, Zhuo Jun gave an embarrassed smile, and then obediently kept up with Zhuo Lei’s footsteps.

In next to no time, he stopped in the courtyard.

In front of this courtyard, both of their expressions were somewhat heavy. Zhuo Jun knew that his father was here, and every time he saw his father’s expression and appearance, his heart would always ache a little.

Although Zhuo Lei had not personally seen his during the day, he would still frequently visit his at night, so he would naturally not be at ease.

National Lord Wei was confused, if it was only Zhuo Jun who revealed this expression, he would understand, but why was Zhuo Lei still the same, did he actually come here?

“Why do you two look like that?” National Lord Wei came over to the two and pretended to be confused.

Zhuo Jun sighed, “Father is suffering here, do you think that as his son, you can get up happily?” He then sighed again and lowered his head.

At this time, Zhuo Lei had already calmed down a lot, but he could still feel his injuries, “I just came here, and for some reason, I was stopped by a type of suppressed emotion. Furthermore, looking at Zhuo Jun’s expression, it’s as if that feeling was passed onto me. Zhuo Lei looked at National Lord Wei with an apologetic smile.

After National Lord Wei heard Zhuo Lei’s words, he finally calmed down. How could he have come? Everyone said that he didn’t have the time, so how could he enter this place?

Thinking about it, National Lord Wei felt that he was being too suspicious.

In the end, the National Lord Wei brought the few of them into the secret room.

Zhuo Lei had never personally entered before, he only knew that there was something extraordinary hidden here. Now that he had actually seen it, he was extremely shocked, he did not know how long the National Lord Wei had prepared for and whether he had long thought of what to do when he went to the First Emperor.

“Big brother, since the National Lord Wei has told us this, what should we do?” Zhuo Jun asked Zhuo Lei as soon as he returned to the Zhuo Mansion.

Zhuo Lei turned and looked at Zhuo Jun, “This place will send you to guard the town, I am relieved, but since the matter is already known, I must return to the capital to report it to the emperor, and leave this matter to you. Whatever it is, you can do as I tell you.” Zhuo Lei patted Zhuo Jun’s shoulder, as if he had a lot of guts.

Although he knew that Zhuo Lei was going to leave this place, he was still a little worried that the brothers would be able to deal with the cunning National Lord Wei.

“How did you know that National Lord Wei would come looking for you this morning?” When Zhuo Jun thought about this matter, he felt that it was extremely strange and thought that Zhuo Lei was a powerful being.

Zhuo Lei laughed, “I’ve investigated this matter in advance, you don’t have to worry about that. Just follow what I told you, if the time is right, I would have naturally told you in advance!”

Hearing Zhuo Lei’s words, Zhuo Jun naturally could only nod his head. He did not need to do anything else as long as he followed Zhuo Lei’s instructions.

Zhuo Lei left at this moment, and did not leave through the big gate, because although the National Lord Wei had told him about the weapons and the place where he could train his soldiers, he was not his own kin after all. No matter how he guarded, everything that he did these two days were probably monitored, and only he used his strength, because there were very few people that could catch up to him.

Thinking about it, Zhuo Lei prepared everything, donned his night clothes, and flew out in a flash.

He could vaguely see a few figures entering his residence. Luckily he had made preparations beforehand, everything was fine. Thinking about this, Zhuo Lei revealed a satisfied smile, and quickly left the border area, heading towards the direction of the capital.

Fei Yan sat in front of the dressing table, allowing Zi Yan to do whatever she wanted with her head. Previously, she did not care too much about her image, and would just casually lift up her hair with a hairpin every single time.

“Lady, it’s so beautiful!” Zi Yan’s words were very artistic, so she naturally couldn’t lament how beautiful she was. After all, only Fei Yan’s current appearance could be considered delicate and pretty, only her eyes looked extremely intelligent.

When Shangguan Minghao came in and saw Fei Yan in such a state, especially that pair of eyes that was looking at him right now, they were as bright as pearls.

At that moment, Shangguan Minghao even thought that the Fei Yan from before had returned. He was stunned for a moment, and inside the mist, there was even something called infatuation.

Fei Yan seemed to be shocked by the look of anticipation in her sad eyes. She quickly kneeled and said, “My lady greets the emperor!”

When Zi Yan heard that the emperor had arrived, she hurriedly knelt on the ground. “This servant pays her respects to the emperor!”

It was only then that Shangguan Minghao woke up from his stupor and looked at Fei Yan. Only now did he see his current appearance, and it seemed like he really wanted to do this too much. Shangguan Minghao mocked himself, and then, he looked at Fei Yan with a gentle gaze.

Towards Shangguan Minghao’s praise of Fei Yan, she was not surprised at all. Looking at her current appearance, she naturally knew that it was from a different grade, and treated it as a joke that was swept away.

“Perform well tonight. Imperial Mother will get to know and like you again!” Shangguan Minghao suddenly embraced Fei Yan from behind, and said with deep emotion.

When Fei Yan was embracing Fei Yan, a bolt of lightning flashed through her entire body. What was she doing, to think that she would be so sensitive to Shangguan Minghao’s touch, and even have a feeling of being moved? Fei Yan reminded herself in her heart, do not fall in love, otherwise, the road that she had walked that year would repeat itself again this year.

“What is it?” Shangguan Minghao had originally felt Fei Yan’s reaction, and was secretly delighted in her heart. It seems that she was not as repulsed as she seemed on the surface, and her body, or more so, had already agreed to her heart, but why was her expression so heavy, and why was she so conflicted when she was together with him?

Fei Yan paused, wanting to struggle free from her body. However, she realized that Shangguan Minghao was imprisoning her very tightly, adding the condition of his body, she felt that her struggle was futile.

“I greets Your Majesty!” The Concubine Ping still wanted to see this legendary person in advance, thus the empress dowager had come to see Fei Yan before summoning her, but she didn’t expect to see such a scene. Although she looked calm on the surface, the veins on her hands exposed how angry she was right now.

It had to be known that this was the time when Fei Yan and him were growing up. If Fei Yan was willing to follow by her side, it would be extremely helpful to him on her throne. Firstly, it would be with Fei Yan’s intelligence and secondly, the power behind her.
