Despite knowing that this group was approaching with aggression, the Base Camp’s logistics still prepared a sumptuous dinner, after all, they knew that those who would dare to forcefully enter the Eastern Border Base Camp were neither madn nor cowards. Enjoy new stories from .Côm
After nightfall, the Eastern Border Base Camp quieted down, but beneath this silence, countless eyes watched closely, especially the other commanders who were all discreetly paying attention to the situation.
Although they did not directly intervene, it did not an they were unconcerned. Their absence was, firstly, because they competed with Commander Lu Bentian, and secondly because they had yet to ascertain the identities of these people.
Originally, Xiao Chuanqi intended to announce Ye Feng’s identity upon arrival, but with the Old Eastern King’s absence, nothing further was said, leading to the current situation.
As for the eyes hidden in the shadows, Ye Feng took notice, but he showed no reaction. If they wished to watch, he allowed them to watch.
The dinner was soon ready, sumptuous as could be, and after that, Ye Feng and his group began to eat in the Old Eastern King’s dining room, as if they were the hosts, with no regard for their outsider status.
During the al, Sima Zhantian couldn’t stop cursing, "Damn it, these commanders of the Eastern Border seem to have lost all their spine. People have broken into their Base Camp, and yet they can just stand by coldly and watch. This is just preposterous!"
Li Jingang also sighed, "The Eastern Border is no longer what it was decades ago. Nowadays, with the Old Eastern King aging and slowly losing his deterrent power, those commanders and lords below him are becoming increasingly scheming."
Ye Feng just listened without expressing any opinion until everyone had finished dinner at eight o’clock in the evening, then they took a walk in the Old Eastern King’s courtyard.
Suddenly, a multitude of car lights shone from outside the courtyard, and a jeep roared into the compound.
"With such fanfare, could it be the Old Eastern King has returned?" Xiao Chuanqi frowned and said.
Ye Feng, however, shook his head with a smile, "It shouldn’t be. If I’m not mistaken, it should be people from Dongcheng Ridge."
He wasn’t wrong. After five or six cars stopped in the compound, a nimble-looking young man jumped out of one and called out loudly, "I heard that so thieves took advantage of the Old Eastern King’s absence to cause trouble in the Base Camp. Dongcheng Ridge has co to purge the bandits!"
One after another, extraordinary bodyguards leaped from the cars and in the blink of an eye, surrounded the entire courtyard.
Later, the doors of the central top-level luxury car were slowly pulled open, and an obese, mustachioed old man struggled to get out from inside the vehicle, accompanied by two elderly n in grey jinyi attire at his side.
Without a doubt, this obese old man was the Lord of Dongcheng Ridge.
Ye Feng glanced over him and then focused on the two older n in their fifties at the Lord’s side.
These two old n exuded a profound aura, evidently at the Grandmaster Peak, their strength roughly equivalent to Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian.
Xiao Chuanqi suddenly laughed, "My lord, so the Lord of Dongcheng turns out to be this fellow. I had a brief encounter with him at a generals’ eting in the Imperial City, where he even handed his business card."
Standing at the threshold of the hall, Ye Feng turned his head and asked, "Is he your friend?"
Xiao Chuanqi shook his head and chuckled, "Can’t say he’s a friend; we’ve only exchanged a few words. But I wonder if he still recognizes ."
The Lord of Dongcheng stepped out of his car, shook his pot-belly, and said with a cold voice, "Just these few thieves dare to brazenly intrude on the Eastern Border Base Camp? They really think they can turn the world upside down!"
"Arrest them," commanded the Lord of Dongcheng directly, "Any resistance, and they shall be killed without rcy!"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Since he has a history with you, go up and have a word with him. Let’s see how good this so-called Lord’s mory is."
"Yes!"
Xiao Chuanqi responded, stepping forward directly to the courtyard below and called out loudly, "Dongfang Sheng, I didn’t expect that after five years, you’ve beco quite bold, so quick to talk about killing without rcy."
The Lord of Dongcheng, Dongfang Sheng, was startled, then fixed his gaze on Xiao Chuanqi. He was slightly surprised and then approached him saying, "Brother Legendary, is it really you?"
"Don’t be so quick to fight!"
Dongfang Sheng hurriedly gestured with his hands, then quickly walked over to Xiao Chuanqi and said, "Brother Legendary, you’re not in the Northern Border, so what brings you to our Eastern Border suddenly? I heard that several mad thieves ca to our Eastern Border Base Camp, what’s this all about?"
Xiao Chuanqi couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Brother Dongfang, are you implying that I am one of those thieves?"
Dongfang Sheng laughed and said, "Brother Legendary, you jest. I heard my son-in-law was kidnapped, so I rushed over to see what’s really going on. By the way, Brother Legendary, why did you suddenly co to our Eastern Border?"
Xiao Chuanqi chuckled and replied, "To be honest with you, Brother Dongfang, the one who kidnapped your son-in-law is , and that thief you spoke of is also ."
After saying this, Xiao Chuanqi looked at Dongfang Sheng with a teasing expression.
Dongfang Sheng’s face changed slightly, and he said in a heavy tone, "What exactly is going on here? Could there be so misunderstanding? Also, where is my son-in-law?"
"He’s inside in the corner of the hall, along with that Loo Manager who is also tied up there," said Xiao Chuanqi with a laugh.
Dongfang Sheng’s gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at Xiao Chuanqi, saying in a deep voice, "Brother Xiao, you are also a man of status; surely you don’t just kidnap people for no reason. What is the situation here? Please explain it to first."
Xiao Chuanqi said, "The matter is actually not complicated. Your esteed son-in-law, in Jiang City, attempted to murder my Lord, but with his ager skills, he was quickly subdued and then taken to our Eastern Border Base Camp by my Lord."
"What did you say, your Lord?" Dongfang Sheng’s complexion changed completely. He had known about Xiao Chuanqi’s identity since the conference in the imperial city five years ago.
Of course, he also knew who Xiao Chuanqi’s Lord was—a ruler of the Northern Border!
However, a change had occurred in the Northern Border six months ago, and it was said that the Northern Border King had been replaced. Thus, Dongfang Sheng couldn’t imdiately determine which "Lord" Xiao Chuanqi was referring to.
"Brother Legendary, where is your Lord now?" Dongfang Sheng asked. He might not have truly considered Xiao Chuanqi a threat, but now that a King of One Realm was involved, he had to be cautious.
Xiao Chuanqi stepped aside and pointed to Ye Feng, standing in the middle of the hall entrance.
Dongfang Sheng hurriedly turned his head and stared at Ye Feng intently for a long while before finally stepping forward, bowing, and asking, "I’m not sure how to address you sir. Is it Ye or Zhu?"
Ye Feng smiled. He naturally understood the implication of those words—if it was Ye, it would naturally an himself; and if it was Zhu, it would refer to Zhu Guangbo, the current acting ruler of the Northern Border.
With a slight curl of his lips, Ye Feng stood there. He would certainly not answer directly but instead countered, "May I ask the Lord of Dongcheng, what about being surnad Ye and what about being surnad Zhu?"
