Exiled to the Frontier, He Became the Empire’s Most Powerful Lord - Chapter 30

Mo Li tugged at the corner of her clothes and slowly pushed her wheelchair in.

Zhou Lingfeng’s handsome face became increasingly clear in everyone’s eyes.

The girls present never expected that the legendary Barbarian King was not only not scary-looking, but actually extremely refined.

If it weren’t for the hidden ailment in his leg, he would definitely be a handsome and dashing man.

“Long live His Highness the Barbarian King!”

The girls at the scene were stunned for a few seconds, and then they all knelt down in unison.

“Get up!”

Zhou Lingfeng waved his hand dismissively.

These women were all adrift in a chaotic world, and he had long anticipated their difficult circumstances.

“Your Highness, we have reached an agreement, but we beg your permission on one matter. If you refuse, we would rather kneel here forever!”

The girl who was leading the group spoke first on behalf of everyone.

“Please feel free to speak.”

Zhou Lingfeng nodded.

“We beg Your Highness to let us stay; our lives belong to you!”

She said it with absolute certainty.

After all, Zhou Lingfeng had pulled them out of their misery and was their savior.

Even if it costs them their lives, we would not hesitate.

“Since none of you wish to return, it is not impossible for you to stay.”

Zhou Lingfeng pondered for a moment, then his gaze swept across the crowd again.

He had naturally read the files of these girls and knew that the woman in charge was named Qiu Tang.

She was originally a wealthy heiress from Python City, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and was a righteous person.

She had clashed with the Azure Dragon Gang many times, but was retaliated against by them, losing her cultivation and being thrown into the dungeon.

As for the others, most of them were daughters of well-educated families, and even though they were dressed in coarse linen clothes, they still had a hint of arrogance between their brows.

“The past is but a fleeting memory. Since you’ve all chosen to start anew, you must live on with strength!”

Even if we were once in the abyss, one day we will all be able to reach the light!

The figure in the wheelchair leaned slightly forward, his tone unusually solemn.

“Remember, you are citizens of Python City.”

“I will always need you!”

Zhou Lingfeng’s voice changed from domineering to tender once again, instantly bringing tears to people’s eyes.

Mangcheng is currently in dire need of manpower, and these literate women can take on important responsibilities with just a little instruction.

More importantly, they have experienced despair and the taste of redemption, and will always uphold justice.

This is just like when he dragged his crippled leg to take up his post in Mangcheng, only wanting to carve out a way out for the people amidst the bloodshed.

“Does Your Highness really need us?”

At this moment, sobs could be heard everywhere.

No one knows who knelt first, but in the blink of an eye, a group of figures lay prostrate on the ground: “We are willing to serve Your Highness, even at the cost of our lives!”

Amidst the mournful shouts, Mo Li quickly pushed him back to the best seats to watch the song and dance performance.

Although it was Hongling’s first time hosting, this woman seemed born for the big stage, showing no stage fright whatsoever.

The song and dance performance in Mangcheng lasted for two hours, and even though it was drizzling, everyone was completely absorbed in it.

This is the happiest moment for the entire city of Mangcheng.

When the event ended, many people were still reluctant to leave.

These are the most beautiful girls in the brothels of Mangcheng. Do you think these ordinary people could ever see their singing and dancing?

Especially the costumes for those song and dance performances, which look completely covered up, but actually reveal glimpses of various exquisite details, making one’s mouth water.

Meanwhile, many powerful and influential families in Mangcheng took the opportunity to get close to Zhou Lingfeng and pay their respects.

Because Zhou Lingfeng was approachable and had no airs, the girls present lined up to offer him a toast.

At this moment, a hundred meters away, Xiao Aqing was still pestering Jiang Chujian to take her to see Zhou Lingfeng, and the feeling was very intimate.

The martial artists who had come to watch the song and dance performance under the guise of the Liu family were now deliberately taking their time to leave, staying only a dozen steps away from Zhou Lingfeng.

“Kill the barbarian king!”

With a roar, the thirty-odd martial artists, who were already prepared, drew their weapons and charged towards Zhou Lingfeng.

The weakest of these people were all mid-to-high-level fourth-rank martial artists, and four of them were even third-rank grandmasters.

Since they intended to rebel and kill the Barbarian King, they were taking a great risk and were naturally very well prepared.

Just then, a crossbow bolt coated with deadly poison suddenly shot out from the shadows.

“Your Highness, this wine is not to be drunk…”

Qiu Tang had already poured wine for the prince, and in that moment of self-reproach, she threw herself into Zhou Lingfeng’s arms.

All she knew was that the prince had a limp and difficulty moving around.

And her life was given to her by the prince!

With a muffled thud as an arrow pierced flesh, Qiu Tang felt a chill run down her spine and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“They gave me money and threatened me, telling me to poison the wine… but the prince is…”

Zhou Lingfeng vaguely heard Qiu Tang squeeze out the second half of her sentence—”Your Highness is our light!”

Then, a second cold arrow pierced the air.

Who would have thought that another green figure would suddenly appear beside them.

This was naturally a girl from a brothel who wanted to shield him from the arrow with her shoulder.

Zhou Lingfeng reacted quickly and pulled the girl away. Even if he exposed his cultivation level at this moment, he would have no regrets.

Meanwhile, seven or eight dark figures approached, their blades aimed straight at their faces.

…

“Stop them!”

Hong Jiuming appeared like a ghost, leading a group of martial artists to protect Zhou Lingfeng.

“Protect the prince!”

Lei Xingmie and the others hurriedly led their men forward!

“You all hold this little eunuch back, I’m going to kill the barbarian king!”

A high-level Rank 3 Grandmaster, whose true essence was extremely dense, said something indifferently, and then flew directly towards Zhou Lingfeng.

A shadow crossed Hong Jiuming’s eyes, but faced with the siege of three Grandmasters, he was unable to break free for the time being!

Although he was already at the peak of the third rank, these several high-level third rank masters were also extremely powerful, and together they were not much different from him.

“Barbarian King, you have no guards left now, prepare to die!”

At this moment, Zhou Lingfeng was left with only Mo Li, who had run back, and a group of girls who had no martial arts skills.

The rest of the people with fighting skills were drawn into the battle.

At this moment, many of the scattered civilians panicked and rioted when they saw this scene. If Yang Wufeng had not ordered the soldiers to maintain order, thousands of people would probably have been trampled to death.

“It’s over. With so many experts, the Barbarian King is doomed this time!”

“It seems someone from Funing City has made a move!”

“Mangcheng is about to descend into chaos again!”

This was naturally everyone’s first thought. In the past, there had been countless assassinations, both large and small, in Python City, and no one could escape.

“All of you, scatter!”

“Today I will make them pay for their crimes in blood!”

Zhou Lingfeng couldn’t help but shout coldly.

“Your Highness, run!”

Unfortunately, after he finished speaking, none of the girls around him fled; instead, they rushed forward like madmen.

The assassins and warriors in front of them were also stunned.

These women had no martial arts skills whatsoever, yet they were determined to come and die.
