Ye Feidie was born into a military family, her clan possessing a hereditary viscount title.
However, starting from her great-grandfather’s generation, the Ye clan had already begun to decline. Her grandfather, a full viscount, had merely served as a deputy commander at the ten-thousand-man commander level.
By her father’s generation, it became even more disappointing. He actually only served as a thousand-man commander in the border army.
It was truly not that others suppressed him, but that her father Viscount Ye Jin simply had no ability whatsoever. His martial arts talent was abysmally low. A man in his thirties, yet he could not even reach intermediate warrior. And his military talent was almost zero.
But to insist that Viscount Ye Jin had no ability would also be wrong. He was generous and well-connected, with excellent relations up and down the military, so later he became the Northern Legion’s quartermaster officer.
Speaking of which, among three generations of the Ye clan, the one with the highest talent was still Ye Feidie.
From childhood she displayed extremely high archery talent. Though not as heaven-defying as Fen Mo, it was still quite remarkable.
After graduating from the Royal City Academy, firstly because her archery was truly superb, and secondly because her father had wide connections and had cultivated a relationship with Marquis Jian Yong, she stayed at the Royal City Academy as an archery instructor assistant. Two years later she became a full archery instructor, at that time she was merely twenty-three years old.
It was also at this time that she was seduced by Suolun,稀里糊涂ly losing her virginity. That year Suolun was only eighteen years old.
The two were passionately in love, renting a courtyard in the royal city to cohabit.
Later when her father Viscount Ye Jin learned of this matter, he was so furious he jumped into a rage.
He had kept a very tight watch on this daughter, absolutely not giving outside men any opportunity. Because the Ye clan had already declined, and finally they had such an outstanding daughter. Viscount Ye Jin placed all hopes for the family’s revival on Ye Feidie, hoping she could marry into a very illustrious family.
Although it was normal for noble women to lose their virginity before marriage, and they could even go to a sorcerer to repair a membrane. But Viscount Ye Jin had very high demands for his daughter, because he wanted to build for his daughter a reputation of chastity, beauty, and power.
And at that time, Ye Feidie’s reputation among the royal city’s noble young ladies was indeed very good. Already quite a few high-ranking nobles had set their sights on her, planning to marry her into their families.
Of course, even though Suolun’s reputation was terrible at that time, he was after all a feudal lord, and moreover one of the kingdom’s top-ranked feudal lords.
So, if Ye Feidie could marry into the Suo clan, that would also be very good.
But, this bastard Suolun was a full five years younger than Ye Feidie, not to mention that this bastard had countless lovers and girlfriends, definitely more than two digits, and even had several lovers he was seeing simultaneously. You hope he would take responsibility for Ye Feidie and marry her? Do not have such dreams.
Even Ye Feidie herself did not dare have such hopes. When she fell in love with Suolun, she had only one thought: not caring about eternity, only caring about once having possessed.
Thus, Viscount Ye Jin resolutely forcibly separated this pair of mandarin ducks, finding a way to transfer Ye Feidie away from the Royal City Academy, getting her far away from this scourge Suolun. As for his daughter having been slept with a hundred times by this bastard Suolun, he could only swallow his tears into his stomach. You could not go beat that bastard to death.
Thus, Ye Feidie was transferred to the city guard troops, taking up an officer position at the centurion level.
When Suolun returned to the royal city from the southern border city, the city gates were already closed, and it was Ye Feidie who helped him enter the city. At that time Ye Feidie was passionately in love, wanting to rekindle their former relationship with him, but Suolun did not keep the appointment.
After briefly gilding her resume in the city guard troops, Ye Feidie was transferred to the Northern Legion, serving as deputy thousand-man commander and adjutant of the archer battalion.
It was also at this time that Viscount Ye Jin found a marriage match for her.
Because she had been ruined by Suolun, wanting to continue maintaining her previous reputation of chastity was already very difficult, and marriage matches with high-ranking nobles were out of reach.
Thus, Viscount Ye Jin began to change his thinking, no longer looking at nobles with high titles.
In the kingdom there were many people with high positions and great power but very low titles, such as Prime Minister Yan Wuqi.
But the Prime Minister’s residence’s marriage match, his Viscount Ye Jin as a ruined household certainly could not cultivate.
Finally after picking and choosing, Viscount Ye Jin settled on city guard troops commander Yu Wengai.
Yu Wengai held high position and great power. In the Furious Wave Kingdom’s military, speaking of power in hand he ranked sixth, only below the four legion commanders and Imperial Guard grand commander Hei Ningqi.
But偏偏 Yu Wengai’s title was very low. His viscount title was merely bestowed by Zhili, without the king’s jade seal stamped on it.
Not only that, because Yu Wengai was born a commoner elite and had betrayed King Zhibian, he was severely isolated in the military. But he was also precisely one of Zhili’s favoured direct subordinates, considered one of Zhili’s trusted confidants.
Although Viscount Ye Jin had no power or influence, he was indeed an old noble of the military with very wide connections.
Thus, the two families hit it off at once, and Ye Feidie married Yu Wengai’s legitimate son Yu Wenfa.
At that time Ye Feidie did not oppose this marriage. After all, she was already twenty-five years old, already an old maiden. If she did not marry, it would truly become difficult.
Moreover, could she really count on that bastard Suolun to marry her?
When she was fooling around with Suolun, she had not hoped for any future with him.
At that time she merely felt that if a woman could not have a passionate romance with the man she loved, then this life would be too much of a loss.
So Ye Feidie had originally planned to first have a magnificent love affair with Suolun, then after breaking up find a good man who loved her to take over, then settle down and become a good wife.
Thus, Ye Feidie married the city guard troops’ young marshal Yu Wenfa.
Yu Wengai had managed the city guard troops for over ten years. After the king was hollowed out, these eighty thousand city guard troops truly became like his private army.
Yu Wenfa had already been called young marshal, young marshal since his teens.
Of course, Yu Wenfa as a person was also quite accomplished, not a playboy. At merely twenty-seven years old he had broken through to Dragon Martial Artist, but his father Yu Wengai forcibly suppressed him, not letting him go to the Dragon God Holy Temple to certify this Dragon Martial Artist.
And although it was his own son, his future successor, Yu Wenfa was merely a thousand-man commander in the city guard troops.
Ye Feidie’s martial arts were high, her personality fierce and decisive, her appearance beautiful, her figure fiery.
Yu Wenfa being able to marry her was also very happy in his heart, and treated her very well.
So Ye Feidie was also somewhat relieved at that time, truly planning to settle down and become a good wife. And besides that crazy romance with Suolun, she had not been promiscuous, having no other romances.
Thus, the couple’s days passed relatively happily.
But unfortunately, good times did not last long. A few years ago, though Ye Feidie’s romance with Suolun had not been widely publicised, it was not that no one knew.
After Suolun recaptured Tianshui City, his fame grew greater and greater, and his romantic history was also dug out piece by piece.
Thus, the matter that Ye Feidie had cohabited with Suolun for half a year was also dug out.
Yu Wenfa directly exploded!
Good, my wife whom I cherish so much, whom I treasure so much, whom I am so proud of, is actually a worn-out shoe?
And every time the royal city’s noble young masters saw Yu Wenfa, they would laugh that his head was glowing green.
Of course, actually these noble young masters’ heads were even greener.
Because, half the noble beauties within the Royal City Academy had been seduced by Suolun. And these noble young ladies had basically all married into the royal city’s noble families.
Yu Wenfa was born a commoner, and could not see past such matters, thus becoming even more unable to endure.
Thus, he and Ye Feidie entered cold violence.
Ye Feidie was also a person with a strong personality. You ignore me? Would I still go pay attention to you?
Thus, merely a few months after marriage, the two began to live separately.
But slightly different was that Ye Feidie had no feelings for Yu Wenfa, but Yu Wenfa had very deep feelings for her.
Once there were feelings, yet feeling betrayed, one would certainly desperately want to hurt the other party.
Thus, Yu Wenfa brought different women home every day, attempting to retaliate against Ye Feidie.
However, Ye Feidie felt this approach was incomparably childish and superficial. She also simply could not be bothered to return home, directly living in the military camp. The two people’s marriage existed in name only!
After Suolun defeated Zhili and entered the royal city.
Whether Yu Wengai, Yu Wenfa, or Viscount Ye Jin, all became eggs in danger under an overturned nest.
The Yu Wengai father and son were directly stripped of their positions and driven home.
Viscount Ye Jin and Ye Feidie also lost all their positions and were driven home.
Suolun did not even know of these matters, because her position was too low, not qualified to pass before Suolun’s eyes.
…
Last night, someone killed the Imperial Guard soldiers in the residence.
Then, Yu Wengai and Yu Wenfa father and son quietly left, going to a very secret stronghold.
Although all matters were kept from Ye Feidie, she of course knew that the city guard troops had gone to discuss rebellion.
After marrying into the Yu family, Viscount Ye Jin also became the city guard troops’ quartermaster officer. These years who knew how much military funds he had embezzled, already inseparable from the city guard troops’ interest group.
Ye Feidie also naturally became a person of the city guard troops. The entire Ye clan had become part of the city guard troops’ interest group.
These days, the entire city guard troops’ interest group was in a state of panic all day, fearing that one day they would be dragged out by Suolun and all beheaded.
Now, rumours spread that the royal city vault reserves had vanished into thin air, and Suolun was going to confiscate all nobles’ property to fill the deficit.
Seeing that the royal city’s great civil war was about to break out, the city guard troops certainly would not let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by, planning to rise in rebellion, kill Suolun and Zhiyan. Only this way could they survive.
Moreover, Ye Feidie also faintly knew that this rebellion would have the Holy Temple Legion participating.
So this time Suolun was in danger!
Those participating in this city guard troops’ secret assembly included not only the Yu Wengai father and son, but also her father Viscount Ye Jin, because he had embezzled too much and could not turn back.
Although all matters were kept from Ye Feidie, she knew where this secret stronghold was!
Because, this stronghold was where her father had once kept a lover. At that time her father’s lover was also not clean, having an affair with another pretty boy. So Ye Jin simply went all the way, killing this pair of men and women.
Thus, this secret residence became vacant, becoming the stronghold for this city guard troops’ rebellion secret meeting.
Her father thought Ye Feidie did not know, yet she knew everything, merely not telling her mother.
Ye Feidie knew that if the city guard troops and Holy Temple Legion colluded together and truly rose in rebellion, then the entire royal city would fall into great chaos. Suolun, merely possessing one Imperial Guard, might truly suffer a great defeat, even lose his life.
And if Ye Feidie went to Suolun to report and expose them, then effortlessly she could catch all these city guard troops commanders in one net, nipping this rebellion in the bud.
Without these commanders leading them, these city guard troops soldiers simply could not rebel.
If the city guard troops did not rebel, the Holy Temple Legion naturally also could not fish in troubled waters.
Only, if it came to that, the Yu Wengai father and son would certainly die. Her own father Viscount Ye Jin, with Ye Feidie’s merit in reporting, should be able to save his life.
On one side was her once beloved man, on the other side was her husband and father-in-law.
Truly a difficult choice. And in recent months, Yu Wenfa seemed to also discover his childishness, driving away those women in the home, frequently coming to Ye Feidie to speak soft words, wanting her to return home.
And saying that both of them were not young anymore, it was time to bear children.
How to choose? Help her lover, or help her husband?
Taking a deep breath, fiercely biting her teeth, Ye Feidie secretly slipped out of the Yu residence, heading toward the royal palace direction.
In the end she still decided to help her lover, and kill her husband!
Two quarters of an hour later…
Feidie was brought into the royal palace by Zhuang Zhixuan. The moment she saw Suolun, she urgently said, “Quick, the city guard troops commanders are holding a secret assembly, preparing to rise in rebellion!”
Suolun abruptly stood up and said, “Where?”
Ye Feidie quickly said, “South of the city, Baiyun Ward, Fengguang Courtyard!”
Suolun acted decisively, ordering Imperial Guard grand commander Hei Ningqi to lead several hundred Imperial Guard warriors, several hundred Shadow Pavilion warriors, and thousands of elites to rapidly head toward Baiyun Ward in the south of the city!
…
South of the city, Baiyun Ward, Fengguang Courtyard.
Inside the city guard troops’ secret stronghold!
Hidden Continent young master Fang Qingyi finally made his first appearance.
Normally, even Yu Wengai was not qualified to see this high and mighty Hidden Continent young master, because he was the controller standing behind Zhili.
Moreover, Fang Qingyi was also the city guard troops’ great money god, the behind-the-scenes financial backer.
“Paying respects to Hidden Continent young lord!” Under Yu Wengai’s lead, the city guard troops commanders present knelt in a group.
Fang Qingyi said coldly, “You must rise ahead of time. Fifteen thousand Holy Temple Legion soldiers have already finished disguising themselves, ready to join battle at any time.”
Yu Wengai said, “Young lord, shall we not wait for the nobles’ servant armies to strike first? Then amidst the royal city’s great chaos, we rise?”
Fang Qingyi said, “These royal city nobles cannot be counted on. Suolun has already found the gold reserves and will not carry out a great confiscation.”
Once these words came out, everyone present turned pale with shock.
Originally they were counting on the royal city’s nobles rebelling first. Their servants and tenant farmers added up to over one hundred thousand.
With these over one hundred thousand people taking the front, the city guard troops would have the confidence to rebel. Letting them directly face sixty thousand Imperial Guards? Certain death, they would not dare even with ten guts!
Fang Qingyi said, “With fifteen thousand Holy Temple Legion joining, what do you have to fear? And do you still have a choice? Suolun is already sharpening his knife, just waiting to chop off your heads. You have already been driven to a dead end, you can only fight desperately!”
Yu Wengai calmly said, “Young lord Fang speaks correctly. Between us and Suolun, either he dies or we perish! The Holy Temple Legion, the world’s elite, one can defeat three. With them joining, what do we have to fear? Moreover, as long as we begin battle, the entire royal city will fall into complete chaos. Those nobles will take advantage of the fire to loot, joining the camp to exterminate Suolun. After all, Suolun may not confiscate today, but tomorrow he may not necessarily not confiscate!”
“Right, if the head falls, at worst it leaves a bowl-sized scar.”
“Kill Suolun, rape Zhiyan!”
After Yu Wengai heard this, he immediately said in great rage, “Shut up! After rising there can only be one slogan: purge the court of evil ministers, kill Suolun!”
“Purge the court of evil ministers, kill Suolun!”
However, right at this moment…
Six thousand Imperial Guards, forming a circle, rapidly encircled toward this secret stronghold.
