Chapter 81 The Southern Border Incident
"I've said it before, you ant, you're not worthy of knowing my identity!"
Ye Ling cast a dismissive glance at Zhao Yuansi and spoke.
Zhao Yuansi struggled to get up, standing on just one leg.
"Fine! Today, I've taken a fall!"
"But let me tell you, this isn't over."
Zhao Yuansi said furiously, then turned around and hopped towards the exit of the villa on one leg.
Before he had reached the villa's doorway, however, Ye Jiu and the others had already positioned themselves there, blocking his path.
The three towering figures stood like a wall, directly obstructing Zhao Yuansi's exit.
"My lord never said you could just leave like this!"
"To come here and make a scene, waste your martial arts cultivation and think you can just leave? Where on earth do you find such good fortune!"
Ye Jiu looked at Zhao Yuansi indifferently and said with a cold laugh.
Zhao Yuansi's expression changed abruptly, and through gritted teeth, he said, "I'll have you know! I am the Deputy Commander of the fourth army of the Southern border!"
"The Commander of the fourth army is as close to me as a brother! Are you telling me you want to kill me?"
"And I am not afraid to tell you! The Commander is currently at my Zhao residence, and if you truly dare to kill me, he will certainly come to avenge me!"
The brows of Ye Jiu and the others rose slightly. Although they looked down on the commanders of the Southern border army, the man was still a high-ranking general in the Southern border forces!
If handled improperly, it could very likely lead to war between the Southern border army and the Northern Liao army.
"Just a Commander of the fourth army thinks he can protect you?"
Ye Jiu and the others remained silent, but Ye Ling's indifferent voice reached Zhao Yuansi's ears.
Zhao Yuansi abruptly turned to look at Ye Ling and asked coldly, "Then what exactly do you want?"
"I've said that if you came here on behalf of the Zhao family, you would be crippled and thrown out of the villa,"
Ye Ling stated simply.
As he finished speaking, Ye Ling slowly raised his right hand and extended a finger.
A fierce surge of energy shot out from his fingertip, instantly piercing through Zhao Yuansi's other arm.
"Ah!"
"Ye..."
"He claimed he was going into seclusion to break through to Warrior King, but no news has come out since then!"
Ye Ling's eyebrows raised in surprise, "I met with the King of the Southern Border before my imprisonment, and that guy was still a step away from Warrior King. How could he suddenly attempt to break through?"
The nation was divided into four military regions: east, south, west, and north, each led by a respective King, holding equal status.
Yet among the four military region Kings, Ye Ling, the Northern Liao King, had always held a clear advantage in strength over the other three Kings!
As the strongest among the four regional Kings, Ye Ling always had a good grasp of the others' capabilities.
"Sir, by what you're saying, did something happen to the King of the Southern Border?"
"Thinking back now, it seems from the time the King of the Southern Border announced his seclusion, the Southern Border Army has become increasingly chaotic!"
"The commanders of the four legions are constantly scheming against each other, with none able to tolerate the others, I even heard that there had been fights within the four main legions of the Southern Border Army!"
Ye Jiu spoke with a frown.
Chen Dao grinned broadly and said carelessly, "Whether the Southern Border Army lives or dies, what does it have to do with us, the Northern Liao Army?"
"But that commander of the Southern Border Army's Fourth Legion dares to leave his post without permission to avenge his subordinate, how does the Sir intend to deal with him?"
"Why not let me go to Zhao's residence and execute him on the spot!"
Ye Ling gave him a glance but did not respond.
Then he turned to Ye Jiu and said, "You go to Zhao's residence, tell that commander to meet me at Gusu Courtyard this noon."
As a fellow regional King, Ye Ling was also somewhat concerned about the current situation of the King of the Southern Border.
And the best way to find out about the King of the Southern Border's current situation was undoubtedly to ask this commander of the Fourth Legion!
"I'll go at once!"
Ye Jiu responded and promptly left the villa.
Watching Ye Jiu head off to Zhao's residence, Chen Dao turned to look at Ye Ling with a resentful gaze.
That resentful look seemed to inquire of Ye Ling, why wasn't he allowed to go!
"Don't you know your own temperament?"
He Feng said with a smile.
Watching Chen Dao's expression, Ye Ling shook his head in amusement.
Chen Dao was impulsive, and if he had really been sent to Zhao's residence, he might have completely destroyed the place.
As for the Southern Border Army's Fourth Legion commander, if he dared interfere with Chen Dao, he would probably end up half dead at Chen Dao's hands.
After all, Ye Ling had said he wanted to see him, otherwise, given Chen Dao's temperament, the commander might have ended up dead by Chen Dao's own hand.
