Chapter 1399: Meet Zhan Beiye

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Marquess Ning took a deep breath.

He had witnessed their abilities with his own eyes. It was impossible to follow them.

“Left through the north gate?”

What places could they head north to? MO City? Or perhaps they wanted to venture even farther into the remote desert?

“Where’s Zhan Beiye? Is there any movement?” He raised his hand and pinched his nose bridge.

“Zhan Beiye is still in the City Lord Residence. He seems to be making arrangements for the city’s fortifications, ” the subordinate replied.

“Hmph!” Marquess Ning snorted.

Zhan Beiye seemed determined to rule the 20 cities as his own.

However, Marquess Ning could not do anything to this young man. After all, he had many troops supporting him. If he did anything to him, those troops would definitely cause chaos.

“My Lord, those two have already left. Do you still want to go to the City Lord Residence?” the subordinate looked up at his master and asked.

Marquess Ning’s sharp gaze dimmed, and his eyebrows twitched.

Go to the City Lord Residence? What would he do? Was he going there to be beaten to the ground by the paper effigies around Zhan Beiye? He did not want to embarrass himself again.

He had wanted to regain some lost dignity for his grandson, but the situation was different now. He could not do that. If he insisted on going, he would only embarrass himself.

What could he do? He could only endure his anger and leave first.

“Did you find out where Zhan Beiye brought them back from?” he asked again.

“My Lord, according to our reports, those two appeared seemingly out of thin air. Their first appearance was when they allegedly burned all the food and firearms in Yueming Empire before returning with Zhan Beiye.

“After that, they left twice. The second time, they returned with a large quantity of military provisions. The third time was this time. It’s rumored that they left to lure Ming Fucheng away.

“They seem to have a feud with Ming Fucheng.”

However, the subordinate could not figure out their feud with Ming Fucheng.

Were they from Yueming Empire? Did they have any interactions with Ming Fucheng in the past? However, these were his mere speculations, so he dared not say anything else.

“Ming Fucheng!” Marquess Ning was furious at the mention of this person.

If not for idiots like Ming Fucheng, Zhan Beiye would not be where he was today. It was all because of Ming Fucheng!

The Zhanling Emperor was also stupid. He actually allowed Zhan Beiye to lead troops to resist Ming Fucheng and gave him the opportunity to strengthen himself.

“Send someone to Yueming Empire to find out where they came from,” he instructed his subordinate.

“Yes, my Lord,” the subordinate replied and did not dare to say anything else.

“Huff!” Marquess Ning exhaled heavily.

He had to make a trip to Zhan Beiye’s place, be it to warn him or to plead for peace. He had to see what Zhan Beiye was up to so that he could give the Zhanling Emperor a reply.

“Stay here and stand guard. I’ll go and meet Zhan Beiye.”

The subordinate watched him leave speechlessly. Marquess Ning did not say anything when he asked earlier, but now he was heading to Zhan Beiye’s place?

However, he reckoned that Marquess Ning would not be able to do anything to Zhan Beiye.

He returned so badly battered yesterday morning. If he were to go and try to teach Zhan Beiye a lesson today, he might not even return alive..
