TFWYH – Chapter 747 Reunion with an Old Friend

The townspeople were all talking about it.

Tang Wan had feasted on so much gossip that she was practically stuffed, and she was extremely curious about this Feng Kingdom!

Her handsome husband had once deliberately shown her books that recorded the history of the Feng Dynasty, and she had found such a nation quite fascinating.

There, women held all the power. The emperor and even all the civil and military officials were women.

It was practically a paradise tailor-made for women!

If she didn’t have her handsome husband, she would definitely have traveled to Feng to broaden her horizons.

But now she had her handsome husband and couldn’t just abandon him to go wandering about.

Well…

At least not right now.

Tang Wan quickly pushed thoughts of the Feng Kingdom to the back of her mind and headed for the medical clinic.

What she didn’t know was that, at that very moment, a grand procession was arriving at Xiangxi Town.

The guards in this entourage were all women, each one valiant and imposing. Their eyes remained fixed ahead, and their bearing was no less formidable than that of men.

Three spacious carriages, protected at the center of the formation, slowly came to a stop outside the gates of Xiangxi Town.

Half a month earlier, Yi Zhanhong had received a confidential report and hurried over from Weng City with Su Yuan. Together with the magistrate of Xiangxi Town, whom he trusted, they had come to welcome the distinguished guests.

The Heavenly Dynasty and the Feng Kingdom lay at opposite ends of the world, separated by vast, boundless seas, and they normally had no contact whatsoever.

To the people of the Heavenly Dynasty, the Feng Kingdom was little more than a legend.

But now…

Recalling the emperor’s secret letter, Yi Zhanhong immediately became extremely vigilant.

Compared to the Heavenly Dynasty, the Feng Kingdom was much closer to the southern tribes.

Therefore, the emperor had instructed him that they must maintain friendly relations and absolutely must not allow Feng to ally itself with the southern barbarians.

Of course, if possible, he was also expected to sound out the envoys and gather information about the overall military strength of the Feng Kingdom.

After all, the people of the Heavenly Dynasty knew very little about this legendary nation.

Should they ever become enemies in the future, it would be better to know both oneself and one’s opponent.

Thus, Yi Zhanhong had come with a mission, but also with complete sincerity, determined to host the envoys of the Feng Kingdom properly and fulfill his duties as a gracious host.

However…

When the father and son from one of the carriages stepped down, Su Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

Th-this…

Wasn’t this Tang Wan’s father?

He had once even sent people everywhere to search for him.

Compared to the stunned Su Yuan, Murong Hong was far more at ease. Laughing heartily, he walked over and cupped his hands in greeting.

“Lord Su, it has been a long time. I trust you’ve been well?”

“Y-you… you…” Su Yuan stammered, his face filled with disbelief.

The current Murong Hong stood tall and straight. The thick beard that had once covered his face was completely gone, and he wore an expensive-looking dark green brocade robe that exuded nobility.

Had it not been for the face identical to Tang Hongba’s, Su Yuan would have thought he had mistaken him for someone else.

“Um… Lord Su, do you know this gentleman?” Yi Zhanhong asked suspiciously, noticing the strange atmosphere between them.

Recovering himself, Su Yuan replied with a complicated expression, “My lord, this man… appears to be the father of County Lady Wengnai, formerly a resident of Xiangxi Town named Tang Hongba.”

Yi Zhanhong: !

The other officials: !

Murong Hong smiled.

“That’s right. I am Tang Hongba, and I am also Murong Hong, the Mighty General of the Feng Dynasty. Back when the Crown Princess of our nation and I fell upon hard times, we lived in hiding in Xiangxi Town. Lord Su showed us great kindness, and I have always been deeply grateful.”

“I wouldn’t dare take credit, I wouldn’t dare…” Su Yuan said awkwardly.

Meanwhile, the little person in his heart was screaming nonstop.

The Crown Princess?!

So the village girl Tang Wan, as he had once believed her to be, was actually the long-lost daughter of the Crown Princess of Feng?

And Tang Tiansheng and Tang Tianyang were in fact imperial grandsons of the Feng royal family?

Murong Hong smiled again before formally introducing his two sons,

as well as Tang Fengji, the Seventeenth Prince of the Feng Kingdom.

Finally, Murong Hong turned his gaze toward a man dressed in a plain white robe and wearing a golden mask…
