TFWYH – Chapter 780 All-Out Pursuit

In order to stay alive, Tang Fengji no longer cared about anything else.

He told them everything.

And with every sentence he spoke, Ling Yu’s heart sank lower and lower until it reached rock bottom.

An army of a million soldiers.

The Ling Clan.

Tax revenues nearly double those of the Heavenly Dynasty.

Every detail demonstrated Feng Country’s overwhelming strength.

Fortunately, Feng Country was far away.

If it had been closer…

There might never have been a Heavenly Dynasty at all.

In any case, Tang Wan absolutely could not be allowed to return to Feng Country!

Holding the command token, Ling Yu rushed into the Black Scale Cavalry camp.

The Black Scale Cavalry was not particularly welcoming toward this unexpected visitor at first.

But Ling Yu had prepared for this long ago.

Li Dashan and Ling Sheng had both established themselves well within the Black Scale Cavalry. The former had become the captain of a vanguard squad, while the latter served as the Right Wing Commander, each leading their own men.

When Ling Yu arrived, he already held the command token in his hand.

And since the matter concerned Tang Wan…

The two men did not hesitate for a moment.

They immediately gathered their troops and split into several groups, with Li Dashan, Ling Sheng, Yan Cheng, Mu Qingfeng, and Ling Yu each leading a pursuit party.

However…

Ling Yu glanced at the Shadow Master, who had followed along, his expression somewhat impatient.

“Lord Shadow Master, shouldn’t you be protecting His Majesty? Why are you following me?”

After a moment of silence, the Shadow Master replied,

“Protecting you is protecting His Majesty.”

After all, you’re the next Emperor.

Protecting you is the right thing to do, isn’t it?

Hearing this, Ling Yu said nothing more.

He spurred Treading Snow forward at full speed.

The horse lived up to its name.

Before long, they could already make out a rapidly moving carriage ahead.

With a wave of Ling Yu’s hand, countless Black Scale Cavalry soldiers surged forward and completely surrounded it.

Ling Yu dismounted in one fluid motion, leaped onto the carriage, and flung open the curtain.

Inside sat a woman with a figure remarkably similar to Tang Wan’s.

She smiled cheerfully at him, a chicken drumstick in hand and grease smeared all over her mouth.

“Well, if it isn’t Lord Minister! You’ve worked hard, Lord Minister…

“But unfortunately, you’ve got the wrong person.”

Ling Yu laughed in anger and jumped back down.

“Take her into custody.”

Several Black Scale soldiers immediately rushed into the carriage and dragged her outside.

The woman remained utterly fearless.

Not only was she unafraid, she actually began flirting with the soldiers.

“Oh my, handsome, you’ve got quite the firm backside!”

“And you—you’re pretty cute too. Want to consider becoming my fourth husband?”

“Wow, you’re good-looking as well! Why don’t all of you marry me? We can have some fun together tonight!”

…

Damn it.

Was this really a woman?

How was she more shamelessly flirtatious than most men?

The Black Scale soldiers who had captured her all ended up blushing furiously instead.

Seeing their reactions only delighted her further, and she spoke with even fewer restraints.

At that moment, Ling Yu calmly remarked,

“Has no one thought of contributing a sock to shut her up?”

The woman’s expression changed instantly.

The harassed soldiers: …

Right!

They could just gag her!

Why let her keep babbling?

Immediately, one of the soldiers sat down and removed his shoe.

That smell…

It was indescribable.

Like spoiled stinky tofu mixed with snail noodles, plus a corpse that had been rotting for more than ten days.

The surrounding soldiers immediately retreated two or three meters.

Some began complaining loudly.

“Wang San, put your shoe back on! That’s absolutely foul!”

“Seriously! Your feet are the stinkiest in the entire camp!”

“Hurry up and put it back on—I think I’m going to throw up!”

Wang San scratched his head and grinned innocently.

“Can’t help it. This lady’s pretty wild and likes strong flavors. Maybe this is exactly her type.”

“…”

What utter nonsense!

The woman’s face turned pale.

She opened her mouth to protest, but Wang San had already rolled his smelly sock into a ball and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Woman: I XXXX… BLEGH…!
