Chapter 250：Snow Dragon Guard

In the forest of yearning, the mist is thick and dense, still carrying a hint of ethereal charm, as if it were a paradise on earth. 

Beside the Lake of Longing, in the pavilion, the two of them drank the wine of longing here. The one leading the group was none other than Prince Duanyi, the second prince. 

And the man who came after Duanyi was also very handsome and charming. But this dashing young man was now wearing a suit of armor, the commander's armor, and his demeanor was both elegant and somewhat imposing, as he was the commander of the guards, Yu Ji. 

"How?" 

Duan Wuyi took a sip of the wine of longing and said with a gentle tone. 

"Your Highness, I have already arranged all the personnel. The key generals of the Imperial Guard are all under our control. Now, the Imperial Guard is being reorganized and purged. After today, the Imperial Guard will be the legion of Your Highness." 

"Um." Duan Wuyi gave a gentle nod, showing no sign of joy or sorrow, remaining silent. 

At this moment, a figure in black came walking briskly towards this place. Entering the pavilion, he bowed slightly to the Second Prince: "Your Highness." 

"South Mountain, sit down." 

Duan Wuyi waved his hand with a smile on his face, making everyone feel as if they were in the midst of a gentle breeze. 

Nanshan gave a slight nod and then sat down on the seat next to Duan Wuyi, opposite Yu Ji. He began to speak, "Your Highness, Liu Canglan has returned to Dianli City. However, he has left the elite troops for Lin Feng. It seems that he intends for them to follow Lin Feng." 

"Good thing." Duanyuanyi pondered for a moment and nodded. "Perhaps one day, this legion will prove useful." 

"Yu Ji, General Meng of the Imperial Guard is busy. You go ahead first." Duan Wuyi said to Yu Ji again. Yu Ji nodded slightly and bowed to bid farewell. Then he left the pavilion. 

Upon hearing the news of Yu Ji's victory, Nan Shan congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Your Highness! You have defeated the Imperial Guard Regiment." 

Duan Wuyi shook his head gently and said, "Today's achievements are not the result of the Imperial Guard." 

"Even Duan Tianlang and Meng Han have lost their sense of respect for the emperor. After today, Meng Han is dead and Duan Tianlang has lost his son. The others should also wake up and realize their mistakes." Su Nan interjected, "Duan Wuyi is usually kind and seldom shows his sharpness. This has made others seem to have forgotten how powerful Duan Wuyi is. Su Nan has been following Duan Wuyi for many years and he knows very well that anyone who underestimates Duan Wuyi will have a very bad ending." 

Even the eldest prince among the eight powerful and domineering young lords, the Crown Prince himself, dare not underestimate this younger brother of the royal family. 

"It's not this one either." Duan Wuyi still shook his head, causing Nan Shan to frown slightly. Then he continued, "Lin Feng!" 

"Exactly, it's Lin Feng." 

Duan Wuyi gave a slight nod and said, "From today on, everyone will know that Lin Feng is someone under my command, Duan Wuyi." 

"Although the Imperial Guard is responsible for guarding the Imperial City and is an important force, it is still far from being on par with that legion. That legion is my target. As for Duan Tianlao, he is arrogant and self-conceited, thinking he knows best. He is a fool who dares to interfere with Xin Ye. He doesn't know that the moment he decides to interfere with Xin Ye, his fate is sealed. He really thinks that the conflict between my brothers and me is something that an outsider like him can interfere in so recklessly." 

At this moment, Duan Wuyi's gaze was no longer gentle but sharp and menacing, cold and chilling. Duan Xin Ye had no cause to worry about Mo Yue's actions. Mo Yue was not someone who would harm Duan Xin Ye. Mo Yue would not do anything to Duan Xin Ye either. But he had not expected that during the journey back, Duan Tianlang would actually want to kill Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye. 

Nanshan felt a chill in his heart. He knew that he shouldn't kill Duan Tianlao. It was because the time wasn't ripe yet. That person didn't want Duan Tianlao to die. 

Duan Tianlang simply didn't understand what it meant by "the bow is hidden after the bird is shot". If Duan Xinye died, in the future when the overall situation was settled, whether it was Duan Wodao or Duan Woyi who emerged victorious, Duan Tianlang would surely be doomed to death. There was the princess's blood on his hands. Perhaps he still thought that now that Duan Wodao tacitly consented, he could do whatever he wanted. If he killed the princess, perhaps Duan Wodao wouldn't say anything now, but in the end, someone would have to bear the blame. 

This is the political maneuvering behind the scenes in the imperial palace. It is invisible and intangible, and every move is fraught with peril. 

"Nanshan, tell me, how can I obtain that legion?" 

Duan Wuyi spoke again, and Nan Shan's gaze slightly narrowed. He shook his head and said, "Nan Shan doesn't know." 

Nanshan knew exactly what the "legion" mentioned by Duan Wuyi referred to. It was the most mysterious legion of Xue Yue Kingdom, the Snow Dragon Guards. 

May the Snow Dragon Guardians and the Snow Moon Guardians unite and rule the world! 

"It's normal if you don't know," Duan Wuyi said with a light-hearted laugh. "The old man has secluded himself for intense cultivation and has long since stopped caring about matters related to Snow Moon. He has allowed me and my elder brother to contend for power and influence, and has let the eight major ruling nobles and the eight ministers of state handle the affairs. Everything else has been left behind. But only the Snow Dragon Guard has remained firmly in his hands. That legion is the true royal guard." 

Nanshan remained silent. To Snow Dragon Wei, he knew very little about him. All he knew was that he was very strong, extremely strong. 

Just at this moment, Duan Wuyi lifted his gaze and looked into the distance. 

"Your Highness, I shall withdraw now." Nan Shan stood up. However, Duan Wuyi shook his head slightly and said, "No need. Stay here." 

In the distance, Lin Feng's figure slowly approached, silent and unobtrusive, yet carrying a hint of ethereal charm, as if blending seamlessly with the universe. It presented a strangely captivating scene, causing even Duan Wuyi to feel a slight sense of alarm. 

"Lin Feng, at what stage have you reached?" 

He murmured to himself, "Duan Wuyi... Now it's impossible to tell whether Lin Feng is truly capable or not. After that trip to Jianlei City, Lin Feng seems to have undergone a transformation." 

"Your Highness." For a moment, Lin Feng's figure gracefully materialized within the pavilion, nodding slightly to Duan Wuyi. 

"Lin Feng, please sit down." 

The gentle and kind expression returned to Duan Wuyi's face, like the gentle breeze caressing the face, giving people a very soft and soothing feeling. 

Lin Feng nodded and sat down opposite Nan Shan. Today, he entered the Xiangsi Forest without any hindrance. This was naturally done by Duan Yaxie. 

"Your Highness, since you have sent Lin Feng to the Cypresses Forest, is there anything you need to tell him?" 

Lin Feng began by asking a question. 

"Lin Feng, there's no need for you to be so deliberately polite. I invited you here just to thank you for bringing Xinye back safely." 

Duan Wuyi raised his cup to Lin Feng and then drained the wine in the cup. 

Lin Feng took the other unused wine cup and also poured himself a drink. Placing it to his lips, he murmured softly, "Your Highness, the princess has gone missing in front of me. To retrieve her is my responsibility." 

After saying that, Lin Feng also took a sip of the Wine of Longing. A strange sensation arose once again. 

"How do you feel?" Duan Wuyi asked with a smile. 

"Although I'm not very good at drinking alcohol, I do know that this kind of love-sickness wine is a rare treat." Lin Feng said with a smile. 

"I was wondering if you ever thought of Xinye when you were drinking?" Duan Wuyi looked at Lin Feng with a half-smile and said, "Lin Feng, my sister, seems to have a different look in her eyes when she looks at you." 

Lin Feng's face turned pale. He gave a bitter smile. The wine of longing would stir up the memories of his beloved one. In his slightly dazed mind, the figure of his beloved would appear. 

In Lin Feng's mind, apart from the long procession of the pure white figures, there was still a single tear, the tear of the princess, and the words "Lin Feng, I really don't know", which echoed. 

It can be seen that on that day in the Purple Palace, Lin Feng's heart was truly touched, and it left a mark of Song Xinye in his mind. 

Moreover, in a corner of one's mind, there is still a fiery and tender figure. 

This made Lin Feng feel a bit depressed. Men, indeed, are very altruistic! 

"All right, I'm not oblivious to your situation either, Lin Feng. The official enfeoffment will be issued today. When will you return to Yangzhou City to take over your fiefdom?" 

Duan Wuyi saw that Lin Feng remained silent and did not urge him on. Instead, he changed the topic and spoke. 

"By the end of the year, it won't be long before the New Year's Eve arrives. At that time, I'll make a trip back to Yangzhou City." 

Lin Feng responded with a murmur. Last year's Lunar New Year's Eve, he and his father were expelled from the Lin family. Now, it's almost exactly one year since then. He might as well go back and visit those uncles and aunts. 

Perhaps, he could still manage to attend the Lin family's annual gathering. 

"All right. When the appointment is made, I'll have someone go to Tianyi College to find you," said Duan Wuyi. 

"Very well." Lin Feng gave a slight nod and continued, "Your Highness, Lin Feng would like to ask you to help me find someone." 

"You said." Duan Wuyi nodded. 

"Lin Hai, my father." 

Lin Feng slowly began to speak. Lin Hai said that they had arrived at the Imperial City. But now that he had caused such a commotion in the Imperial City, yet he still couldn't find his father anywhere, with no news at all. Therefore, Lin Feng hoped to seek help from Duan Wuyan. 

"Your father, Lin Hai!" Duan Wuyi paused for a moment and then nodded, saying, "Alright, Lin Feng. This matter is entrusted to me." 

"Lin Feng thanked the Lord of the Palace," he nodded slightly and bowed, "If there's nothing else for Your Highness to do, Lin Feng will leave now." 

"Well, you go ahead." Duan Wuyi nodded and didn't keep Lin Feng any longer. 

Lin Feng's figure vanished in a graceful manner, and he walked straight out of the Cilis Forest. Outside the Cilis Forest, a saintly white figure was quietly waiting there. Seeing Lin Feng leave, it followed him and left together!
