Chapter 261: Chapter 26: Wonderfully So【7000】_4 Chapter 261: Chapter 26: Wonderfully So【7000】_4 Zhu Weiran paused, saying, “That’s inevitable, and definitely not a minority. The offerings of Feiyi Hall are basicallly all stronger than me.”

Feng Yin pressed, “So… why haven’t any of those people acted?”

Zhu Weiran was stunned.

Indeed, the high ranks of Feiyi Hall have appeared, even the chief preacher showed up, only to run away after showing his face for show.

But why haven’t the real experts of Feiyi Hall appeared?

Not to mention many, if they extended the warning line a bit further, and brought out three or four more Heavenly Level masters, it would basically be a life-or-death situation.

“There must be a reason for this.”

Feng Yin frowned, “And, it’s definitely not a small one!”

Zhu Weiran was familiar with the martial world, but he was not good with these conspiracies and intrigues, he scratched his head and said, “What could be the reason?”

Feng Yin took a deep breath and said, “Uncle Zhuang, look, Yan State has essentially wasted manpower, and also handed Qin country a big advantage, and then both Ma Daocheng and Ma Daogong have recovered; Yan State has basically gained nothing after deploying a big effort.”

“So why did Yan State plot this assassination? After the assassination, they even set up defenses to obstruct me, the divine physician; their plans are so comprehensive, and the Qin side had to respond hurriedly, why did Yan State end up with nothing?”

“Now, we’re back to the original situation of soldiers against soldiers, commanders against commanders; everyone is fighting on the battlefield. The situation hasn’t changed at all from before!”

“The only change seems to be the increase in troops by Yan State.”

“But from Yan State’s perspective, they have plenty of time. As long as they are within their borders maybe they can increase the troops at any time? They wouldn’t need such a big action and sacrifice just to increase troops, would they?”

Feng Yin said, “Although Qin country has the natural barrier of Cold Valley, it can’t interfere with Yan State’s internal affairs, can it?”

Zhu Weiran nodded honestly, “Indeed, it doesn’t seem to add up.”

“So there must be a reason for this. So, what’s the reason?”

Feng Yin asked.

Zhu Weiran scratched his head, looking dumbfounded.

Actually, when he was about to leave, the two Marshals, Ma, were also most confused about this aspect.

“Is it political? Military? Civil? Secret spy? Deployment? Or martial arts? Or what?”

Feng Yin’s mind was tangled in it like a spider web.

The messy lines of thought were being combed one by one.

He repeatedly wondered if it had something to do with his identity as the divine physician in the rainbow-coloured qingyi?

But no matter how he thought about it, it seemed impossible. Even though Bai Yihwen seemed to value him immensely and the people of the rainbow-coloured qingyi respected him a lot, just how many people do we actually have?

In other words: what had he actually done so far?

Was that enough to justify a whole country rallying its troops against him?

Although Feng Yin was very confident, he didn’t possess the confidence to believe that he was actually worth an entire country’s arduous endeavor.

“So, Yan State must be planning something big.”

Even though he had reached this conclusion,

Feng Yin felt an increasingly intense sense of crisis.

“It seems like I’ve been caught in a catch-22 by the opponent…” Feng Yin felt a bit helpless.

This feeling of crisis was too familiar.

Seeing the sixty Heavenly Horses with him, instead of feeling secure, Feng Yin felt even more pressure and danger.

There were too many people.

These guys were emanating killer intent and appeared as battle-hardened warriors emerged from mountains of corpses and blood-soaked fields.

The target was too big.

Having these people protecting him was like carrying a torch in the darkness—it was too obvious.

“Gentlemen, we’ll part ways here.”

After crossing the Cold Valley, looking at the wide military road ahead and the winding mountains on either side, Feng Yin immediately proposed to split up.

“The Great Marshal has ordered us to escort you directly to Mengzhou before we can return.”

The Heavenly Horses remained resolute.

“No need, we’ll be heading straight to Xianyang in the Capital City from here.”

“Then we’ll escort you to Xianyang.”

Feng Yin sighed.

“Let me tell you the truth, we are about to disappear. With you following us, we will be too conspicuous and cannot disappear…thus, it’s not convenient… Moreover, we are about to face the thunderous retaliation by Yan State. Though you are protecting us for now, there will inevitably come a time when you stop. Do I need to spell it out?”

“So… the longer you keep following us, the more danger we are in.”

Feng Yin gave a helpless smile, “So, we must part ways.”

Suddenly, the Heavenly Horses looked conflicted.

A few people huddled together to discuss, then bid farewell in a most agreeable manner.

As they were leaving, they produced a token.

“This is given by the Great Marshal, and it must be handed to Mister. This token represents the Western Army! Should anyone dare to bully Mister after seeing this token, it would mean declaring a war against our million-strong Western Army!”

The tone of the Heavenly Horse was very serious: “This is the second token of its kind given out since our Western Army was founded.”

Feng Yin wanted to ask, who was given the first one?

But after thinking about it, he decided not to be so curious.

Under the insistence of the Heavenly Horses, they traveled a bit further and chose a covert location.

The Heaven Horses reined their horses and stood in line to watch Feng Yin and the other two leave.

They saluted at the same time.

They did not move until the three figures completely disappeared on the horizon.

“Big Brother, what should we do?”

“What else can we do? Choose three brothers, disguise them as divine doctors, and send them to Mengzhou! Send another disguised team to Yizhou, and another…divide our forces into three routes. Didn’t the divine doctor say? If there’s a danger, we must draw it away.”

“Alright!”

“If there are hidden enemies, they will certainly think that one of our routes is real after seeing us dividing our forces into three to escort, but all of our three routes are fake…the divine doctor is naturally safe.”

It has to be said, this squad leader’s words were very sound.

After Feng Yin and the others dropped out of sight, they immediately chose a place, and hit upon a big tree to observe for any movement within dozens of miles.

Then Feng Ying was sent out to scout around.

Once it was confirmed that there was nothing unusual.

They changed disguise.

And then they became a young master, traveling with his two old man and old lady guards, out for a trip in the mountains and water.

They originally wanted to pose as a family of three, but it was inappropriate: would the rich master and his wife go out with their son for a trip without any guards?

So it’s too unconvincing.

After changing their disguise, Feng Yin let Feng Ying boldly show up, squatting on his shoulder, elegantly swaggering along the way.

The entire journey was very leisurely.

However, after traveling a bit further, and getting on the main road, they hastened their journey to get away from the most suspicious area.

When they were heading towards Pingyang, they surprisingly found a very familiar team of soldiers.

About twenty people.

Just a dozen yards ahead, moving forward at a leisurely pace with a horse carriage.

Looking again, Feng Yin doubted his eyes for a moment, rubbed his eyes and looked again, and finally confirmed he wasn’t seeing things.

What the hell… isn’t that Heavenly Horse?

Feng Yin’s speechlessness at this moment was as if he had been screwed over.

What’s going on?

Didn’t I tell you to go back?

Why why why…

Feng Yin is insightful, a thought and he understood. Seeing the ‘white-bearded divine doctor’ who was gasping for breath from the carriage in front once in a while, how could he not understand that the Heavenly Horses were trying to divert the attention of the enemy for his own good?

But Feng Yin felt, isn’t this too speechless?

I took a lot of effort to get out of sight, yet after a big roundabout, I ran into you guys again.

And you all are so blatantly high-profile, as if you’re afraid others won’t notice…

Feng Yin put his hand on his forehead, at this moment he wished he could just die.

Why did I choose this route?

In fact, Feng Yin did not know, that there were only three directions that he could take, and no matter which one he chose, he’d end up running into the Heavenly Horses! This wave… was unavoidable no matter what.

One could only say that the strategy of the Heavenly Horses has been successful.

Just as Feng Yin was feeling extremely miserable…

He saw a few dozen men burst out of the dense forest ahead. The one in the lead had a full face of beard, looking very much like a bandit who robs houses and loots goods.

With eyes as big as copper bells and a voice like a mighty bell.

“This mountain was claimed by me! This tree was planted by me…”
