Qin Feng handed a golden token, intricately carved with a lifelike dragon, to Lin Qingxue and said in a deep voice, "This is the 'As If I Were Present' gold medal bestowed by the Predecessor Emperor. With this, you can command all the armies of the Northern Territory."
The token emitted a faint glow under the dim candlelight, as if a slumbering dragon was about to awaken. Lin Qingxue took the token; it felt icy to the touch, and its heavy weight sent a shiver through her heart.
She nodded solemnly, her gaze resolute, then turned and strode away, her skirt fluttering and stirring up a gentle breeze. In the dim corridor, her upright figure gradually disappeared around the corner.
Qin Feng watched Lin Qingxue's departing silhouette and let out a soft sigh. He turned around and called out to the door, "Wang Zhong!" Moments later, Wang Zhong entered with a slight bow, concern etched on his face. "My lord, what are your orders?"
Qin Feng walked over to the table, picked up a piece of paper filled with dense writing, and handed it to Wang Zhong. "Conduct a secret investigation into Zhao Wujie's influence in the Northern Territory, especially his spies within the military. Also, gather evidence of his corruption."
Wang Zhong took the paper and quickly scanned it. His expression shifted slightly before he respectfully replied, "I understand, I will arrange this immediately."
He slightly hunched his back and carefully retreated, gently closing the door behind him as his footsteps faded away. The room was left with only Qin Feng, who walked to the window and gazed at the falling snowflakes outside, his eyes deep and shadowy.
In the martial arts training ground of the royal residence, an expanse lay empty and desolate, with only the howling northern wind sweeping up fallen snow from the ground, producing a low moan. Qin Feng stood alone in the center of the training ground, dressed in black combat attire.
He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath as his internal energy began to circulate. An invisible current surrounded him, causing snowflakes to dance and swirl around.
He began practicing the technique he had acquired from a mysterious legacy—the Nine Transformations Dragon God Technique. As he channeled this technique, his aura gradually intensified, making the surrounding air feel as if it had solidified. In one corner of the training ground, snow fell from the branches of an old plum tree as if trembling in response to this powerful force.
In Kyoto, at Zhao Manor. Inside an opulent study, Zhao Wujie's face was ashen as he slammed a letter onto the floor. "Useless! A bunch of useless fools!" he roared, his voice filled with anger and frustration.
On the ground lay the torn letter with four large characters boldly written: "Assassination Failed."
A figure in black knelt on the ground, trembling and afraid to raise his head. "To think that there is such a powerful guard by Qin Feng's side..." Zhao Wujie gritted his teeth and said, "It seems I must pay a personal visit to the Northern Territory."
He walked to the bookshelf and retrieved a brocade box from a hidden compartment. Upon opening it, he revealed a golden token inscribed with the words "As If I Were Present."
A glint of malice flashed in his eyes. "Qin Feng, I want to see just how capable you really are!" He slammed the brocade box shut and strode out of the study, leaving the figure in black trembling even more violently on the floor.
In the Northern Di Royal Court, Tuoba Ye, draped in animal skins, sat on a throne covered with bear pelts, listening to a scout's report. "Qin Feng has begun reorganizing the military affairs of the Northern Territory and has received a golden medal bestowed by the Predecessor Emperor." The scout knelt on one knee, speaking respectfully. A cold light flickered in Tuoba Ye's eyes as he suddenly stood up and walked to the wall where the Northern Territory Map hung. He traced his right index finger lightly across the map until it stopped at a location on the border of the Northern Territory.
"Send orders to accelerate our march. Take advantage of the unstable situation in the Northern Territory and strike when they are unprepared!" His voice was deep and powerful, echoing through the hall with an undeniable authority.
Outside the hall, war drums thundered as the Northern Di Army prepared for battle, banners fluttering fiercely, exuding an aura of bloodlust as they readied for a fierce assault on the borders of the Northern Territory. Tuoba Ye gazed out of the window, his eyes burning with ambition as if he could already envision the fall of the Northern Territory and himself becoming its ruler. He clenched his fists, a bloodthirsty smile creeping onto his lips.
Tuoba Ye turned to a guard beside him and said, "Prepare my horse; I will personally oversee the battle at the front lines." The guard immediately bowed and left swiftly.
Tuoba Ye approached a weapons rack and picked up a long knife engraved with a wolf's head design. He gently caressed its blade, excitement flashing in his eyes. The edge glinted ominously in the firelight.
At the Northern Duke's Manor, in the training grounds, Qin Feng practiced a sword technique, his figure moving like a ghost—swift and elusive. The sword light flickered like a silver dragon soaring through the air. Sweat soaked his clothes, but he showed no signs of stopping; each move was filled with power and momentum. Fallen leaves were swept up by his sword's wind, swirling in midair before slowly drifting down to land on the ground.
"Your Highness, this is information collected by Wang Zhong regarding Zhao Wujie's influence distribution in the Northern Territory." A guard from the royal palace approached Qin Feng, presenting a scroll with both hands.
Qin Feng sheathed his sword and took the scroll, unfolding it for a closer look. His brow furrowed as he lightly tapped his fingers on it, revealing a hint of coldness in his gaze. After reading it, he handed it back to the guard and instructed, "Deliver this information to General Lin and have her handle it properly." The guard complied and turned to leave.
