The Young Swordsman of Dalu

On their way back with Ji Wuchang and Jin Yuanying, Wen Fei encountered several assassins. The assassins' goal was clear: to kill them.

During the fight, Wenfei grabbed one of the men and asked, "Who sent you?"

The man was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty! It wasn't this servant who wanted to kill you, it was Eunuch Liu who sent this servant!"

"Eunuch Liu! The Eunuch Liu who's with Murong Bo?" Wen Fei asked.

"Yes!"

"Let him go!" Jin Yuanying said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Is Han Jue in command again this time?" Jin Yuanying asked.

"Yes! Baili Heng is the grain and fodder officer."

"Murong Bo! You are going to destroy the foundation of my Northern Dynasty that has lasted for nearly a hundred years! I, Jin Yuanying, was blind to have chosen such a tyrannical and incompetent ruler as you!" Jin Yuanying said.

“Ah Ying! It’s not your fault! Murong Bo is such a good actor,” Ji Wuchang said.

"Xiao Hai! How many more days until we arrive in Yancheng?" Jin Yuanying asked.

"Your Majesty! Let's change our horses at the next post station. We'll arrive in less than two days," Xiao Hai said.

"Hurry up!" Kim Won-young said.

Wenfei was worried about the situation in the northern frontier. After arriving at the post station, Ji Wuchang and the others rested for a while. Wenfei said, "Master! Senior Jin! We will be arriving in Yancheng soon. There will be no danger on the way. I need to go ahead."

“Go! Go back to the Northern Frontier and tell Li Chaoyang not to give him any reason to hesitate!” Ji Wuchang said.

"Master! Senior Jin! Goodbye, Brother Xiao!" Wen Fei ran forward and disappeared in an instant.

"His lightness skill seems to be on par with yours," Jin Yuanying said.

“I’m so pleased! This child has been working very hard!” Ji Wuchang said.

"What did you mean by those words you said to him, Lao Ji?" Jin Yuanying asked.

"Don't worry too much! If our two countries go to war, I'm afraid Li Chaoyang might soften his stance because of me," Ji Wuchang said.

"Old Ji, you underestimate me, Jin Yuanying! Don't worry! I won't let you get hurt in the Northern Dynasty!" Jin Yuanying said.

"I believe in Ah Ying's abilities!" Ji Wuchang said with a loud laugh.

"Xiao Hai! Hurry up!" Jin Yuanying said.

"As ordered!"

Wenfei raced all the way and arrived in Beijiang City a day later.

As soon as Wen Fei arrived in the northern frontier, he went to Shangguan Chenxing's border camp.

Everyone was happy to see Wenfei return, especially Li Wei. She walked up to Wenfei, extended her fist, and gently punched him.

"You brat! You've abandoned me again this time!" Li Wei said.

“You’re safer here!” Wenfei said.

"Wenfei! Are Uncle Ji and the others alright?" Wenjie asked.

"It's alright! Master and Senior Jin will be arriving in Yancheng soon!" Wenfei said.

"Didn't Senior Ji say he wanted to return to the Northern Frontier?" Shangguan Chenxing asked.

“I didn’t ask,” Wenfei said.

Seeing that Li Chaoyang remained seated without speaking, Wen Fei stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Pavilion Master Li!"

Li Chaoyang didn't look at Wen Fei, but stood up and went to the sand table, saying, "Sir! Our army must hold Liaohekou in this battle!"

"Does Pavilion Master Li mean that the Northern Dynasty army will focus its attack on Liaohekou?" Shangguan Chenxing asked.

"Liaohekou is a strategically important location that we have overlooked. This time, the Northern Dynasty army will definitely use Liaohekou as a breakthrough point. We must send heavy troops to guard it and not be careless!" Li Chaoyang said.

“Yes, Pavilion Master Li, I will make the arrangements right away!” Shangguan Chenxing said.

Li Chaoyang noticed that Li Wei's eyes hadn't left Wen Fei, and he knew that his granddaughter had fallen for him. He frowned and said, "Wen Fei! Come with me for a walk outside!"

Wenfei looked at Wenjie with a troubled expression, and Wenjie said, "Go ahead! Uncle Li won't eat you up."

Wen Fei had no choice but to follow Li Chaoyang out. Li Chaoyang walked in front, and Wen Fei followed behind. When Li Chaoyang reached a hillside, he turned back to Wen Fei and said, "Come up here!"

Wenfei climbed up the hillside and walked up to Li Chaoyang. Li Chaoyang stared at Wenfei and said, "Wenfei! You know what I've always been concerned about. You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me, Li Chaoyang! I can see that Wei likes you. I don't want my granddaughter to fall in love with someone of unknown origin."

"Don't worry, Pavilion Master Li! Now that I'm here, I am Wen Fei, the fourth young master of the Wen family! Even elsewhere, I, Wen Fei, am a true man of integrity!" Wen Fei said.

"I'm still curious how you got here?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"To be honest, Pavilion Master Li, I still don't understand how I ended up here," Wen Fei said helplessly.

"You have absolutely no recollection of this?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"No! If I had, I would have already..." Wenfei didn't finish his sentence.

“You left a long time ago, didn’t you? You should tell Wei Shi all this!” Li Chaoyang said.

"I'll find a chance to tell her," Wenfei said.

"What did Ji Wuchang say to you?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"Master said not to make you have any reservations," Wenfei said.

"Oh, Ji Wuchang! What can I say about you?" Li Chaoyang said.

“It’s clear that my master has deep feelings for Senior Jin,” Wenfei said.

“Kim Won-young, after all, bears the heavy responsibility of a nation!” Li Chaoyang said.

"Could my master be in danger?" Wenfei asked worriedly.

“I’m afraid he’ll take a risk!” Li Chaoyang said.

"What does Pavilion Master Li need me to do?" Wen Fei asked.

"Go to the Northern Dynasty and wait for Ji Wuchang. Try your best to bring him back!" Li Chaoyang said.

“I don’t think that’s possible! Master and Senior Jin have been inseparable these days,” Wenfei said.

"Find a way to bring him back!" Li Chaoyang said.

“I will!” Wenfei said.

Li Wei looked at Wen Fei on the hillside and said worriedly, "I wonder what kind of trouble Grandpa has given Wen Fei this time?"

"Don't worry! Just ask Wenfei when he comes down," Liang Feiyan said.

"Sister Feiyan, you know that my grandfather has never liked Wenfei. I'm afraid he's already realized I like Wenfei and will do something to harm him," Li Wei said worriedly.

“Master Li is a reasonable person and wouldn’t do that,” Liang Feiyan said.

"I'm so worried! What should I do, Sister Feiyan!" Li Wei said, nestled in Liang Feiyan's arms.

"It's alright!" Liang Feiyan said, patting Li Weishi on the back.

Wenfei came down the hillside, and Li Wei couldn't wait to run over to him.

"Wenfei! My grandfather didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No! Pavilion Master Li asked me about my master and the situation in the Northern Dynasty. You're overthinking it," Wen Fei said with a smile.

"Really? That's great! I thought he was going to kick you out again!" Li Wei said with a smile.

“Your grandfather isn’t that stingy!” Li Chaoyang walked up from behind them.

"Grandpa! Thank you!" Li Wei said loudly to Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang didn't turn his head, but just waved to them with his back turned.
