Princess Ding Ye Li had defeated the Northern Territory King Ren Qining within a month. In two months, she had completely pacified the entire northeast region. The border with the Northern Territory Brute Tribe had returned to where it was in the Da Chu State. However, the returned territory and people were no longer citizens of the Da Chu State. Instead, they were now under the King's Manor.
Even though the rulers of large countries like Great Chu, Xi Ling, and Northern Tribes could see that the foundation of the north was not stable and that there were many hidden dangers within, but there were still millions of people. Ding Wang Fei was able to pacify them in less than three months. It was shocking. From then on, Princess Ding Ye Li's achievements in the field of martial prowess did not belong to any of the past generals. The people below the Prince Ding Mansion and outside the newly pacified Purple Thorns Pass revered Princess Ding like a god.
In the Western Tomb's Jhennam Of Gojoseon Palace, Lei Zhenting was studying the map on the table with his head lowered. Ever since Infinite Boundless Mountain and Mo Jingli had gotten together, Mo Jingli had actually begun to vaguely show signs of provocation towards the Western Tomb. Infinite Boundless Mountain did indeed have some ability. In a few confrontations, they had caused Lei Zhenting to suffer a few small losses. This had also strengthened Lei Zhenting's determination to destroy Infinite Boundless Mountain.
Below him, Young Master Qingchen was sitting peacefully in his white robes. Even though Infinite Boundless Mountain was hidden deep within the mountains and had a natural formation as cover, Young Master Qingchen's face did not have the slightest trace of worry. He was just leisurely sipping his tea, waiting for Lei Zhenting's reaction.
"Father! Father … "Lei Tengfeng hurried in with a letter in his hand. Lei Zhenting could not help but frown. In terms of age, Lei Tengfeng was about the same as Xu Qingchen and Mo Xiuyao. However, not to mention their strategies and methods, their personalities were far from being as calm and collected as these two. It was no wonder that Lei Zhenting had always been worried about his only son.
In fact, Lei Tengfeng's ability and strategy might not be as good as Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingchen, but he definitely wasn't any worse than people like Mo Jingli and Ren Qining. It was just that he was always under his father's shadow and lacked experience, so his personality was slightly lacking compared to others.
"Young Master Qingchen is still here. How can you make such a big fuss? What happened? "Lei Zhenting asked in a deep voice.
Lei Tengfeng also saw Xu Qingchen sitting at the side as soon as he entered the room. He was stunned and secretly regretted his rashness just now. However, being scolded by his father in front of Xu Qingchen, his expression turned ugly. Xu Qingchen put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Since Duke Rui is here, there must be something important. I will take my leave first. "
Glancing at the letter in Lei Tengfeng's hands, Lei Zhenting could roughly guess what it was about. He shook his head and said, "Young Master Qingchen is not an outsider. Just say it."
Lei Tengfeng hesitated for a moment before handing the letter to Lei Zhenting, "Princess Ding destroyed Ren Qining's million strong army. Ren Qining committed suicide."
"What?" Even someone like Lei Zhenting, who had been through many storms, couldn't help but be stunned. He couldn't blame his son for losing his composure just now. Originally, while Lei Zhenting didn't think highly of the alliance between the Northern Tribes and the Northern Territories, he was still happy to see it happen. After all, while he was cooperating with the Prince Ding Mansion to deal with Infinite Boundless Mountain, he also had to guard against any sneak attacks from the Prince Ding Mansion. With the Northern Territories holding them back, he was much more at ease. But who would have thought that just a mere Ye Li would be able to destroy the Northern Territories in just two months? Mo Xiuyao hadn't even had to lift a finger. Was it the Prince Ding Mansion that was too strong, or the Northern Territories that were too weak?
Thinking of this, Lei Zhenting's expression as he looked at Xu Qingchen also changed somewhat. Xu Qingchen, however, seemed oblivious to it, her expression indifferent. Lei Zhenting calmed himself down before smiling at Xu Qingchen, "Princess Ding is indeed a female hero of her generation. I must congratulate Young Master Qingchen and the Prince Ding Mansion."
Xu Qingchen smiled mildly. While stabilizing the Northern Territories could be considered a stroke of good luck that couldn't be replicated, Xu Qingchen was still extremely happy that his cousin had successfully accomplished such a great thing. Nodding with a slight smile, she said, "Many thanks to Prince. Li 'er is still young. It is also her luck that she was able to achieve such a feat by accident." Beside them, Lei Tengfeng's mouth couldn't help but twitch upon hearing this. Princess Ding had only been famous for less than ten years. Guarding the Eternal Forest, suppressing the Northwest, sweeping through the Western Tomb and now stabilizing the Northern Territories. Even his Royal Father had suffered a loss at her hands. Such a person was still young. When she was no longer young, how could she still live?
Xu Qingchen probably also felt that such humble words sounded more like bragging to others. Naturally, she changed the topic with a smile, "The matters of the Northern Territories are far away. Let's not bother about them. Instead, let's talk about how we should deal with Infinite Boundless Mountain. If our two families can't even take down Infinite Boundless Mountain, this Xu will really have no face to return to Glass City. "
Lei Zhenting's and Lei Tengfeng's expressions also brightened. The Northern Territories was already a foregone conclusion. There was no point in dwelling on it. It was just that the borders of the Northern Territories would have to be carefully rearranged. However, before their eyes, if it were the tens of thousands of mighty soldiers of Zhennan Palace as well as the wise Young Master Qingchen, they wouldn't be able to take down a mere Infinite Boundless Mountain. That Ren Qining wasn't the number one joke under the heavens. They were. Moreover, Mo Jingli relied on Infinite Boundless Mountain's support to provoke them time and time again at the Cloud Mist River. Lei Zhenting definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate this. Now that Infinite Boundless Mountain was not destroyed, the Prince Ding Mansion would only lose some face. To the Western Tomb, it was already a great enemy!
Lei Zhenting nodded, "Young Master Qingchen's words make sense. I wonder if Young Master Qingchen has any thoughts on the natural grand formation within the Infinite Boundless Mountain range? "
Xu Qingchen frowned, "Although I have already seen the map, it is still incomplete at the end of the day. I, however, have some thoughts. However, I need to personally head to Infinite Boundless Mountain in order to verify them. "
Lei Zhenting said, "There have been some small matters by the Cloud Mist River recently. I cannot accompany Young Master there. Quan 'er will lead fifty thousand elite soldiers to accompany Young Master to Infinite Boundless Mountain. What does Young Master think?" Xu Qingchen nodded, cupping his hands towards Lei Tengfeng, smiling, "Then I will have to trouble Duke Rui."
Lei Tengfeng hurriedly returned the greeting, "It is my duty. Young Master Qingchen need not mind it."
After sending Xu Qingchen off, Lei Zhenting and his son were speechless for a long time in the study. Lei Tengfeng asked somewhat worriedly, "Father, are we just going to leave the matters of the Northern Territories to their own devices?" Lei Zhenting smiled bitterly, "How are we going to manage it? The Northern Territories have nothing to do with our Western Tomb in the first place. Also, it was the Northern Territories themselves who first provoked the Prince Ding Mansion. Even if they were to perish, they would only be seeking their own deaths. It's just that … even I did not expect that this Ye Li would actually be so … "Lei Tengfeng could not help but sigh in admiration," Princess Ding is truly not something that any woman in this world can compare to. Even those few from Infinite Boundless Mountain are probably worlds apart when compared to Princess Ding. "
Lei Zhenting looked at the letter that Lei Tengfeng had presented to him. "Princess Ding has conferred upon Ren Qining the title of Duke of Changqing? Such grace … "Back in the Western Tomb, Ren Qining had plotted to assassinate Ye Li, which had also directly led to the Western Tomb's nobles being massacred by Mo Xiuyao until rivers of blood flowed. For such a person, it was already rather good that Ye Li had not seen his corpse torn apart and tossed into the wilderness. She had actually conferred upon him the title of Duke, and given him a noble burial.
