Hearing Li Feng's words, Li Yue nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. I will be careful and safe. I will definitely bring myself back safely."
Li Feng nodded. "Yes, bring yourself back safely. As for Xie Feng, just do your best. Don't force it."
As she spoke, Li Yue thought of something else and said, "Dad, the news I received is that Shangguan Zhongtang is currently heading to Sang Country. Should I take some forces and apprehend Shangguan Zhongtang directly?"
Upon hearing Li Yue's words, Li Feng thought for a moment, then took something out of his drawer, wrote some words on it, and handed it to Li Yue.
"I was already planning to assign some forces to accompany you. Since you mentioned it, I'll give you more."
Li Yue took Li Feng's document and was slightly surprised. "So many?"
"It's not a lot. This is a major matter, and it concerns my daughter's safety. What's too much about it?"
Li Feng waved his hand and said, "I know your personality. You want to leave tonight, but for your mother's sake, wait until she's asleep before you go."
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Li Yue's personality was indeed like that, but since Li Feng had said so, Li Yue nodded heavily and agreed.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you," Li Feng said with a very serious expression. "I have reported this matter to the Supreme. Due to the incident with Xie Feng many years ago, the Supreme is paying close attention to this matter.
If you can find Xie Feng and bring him back, your position in the Dragon Association will be even more stable."
Hearing Li Feng's words, Li Yue was a little surprised. She had never expected that the Supreme would be concerned about a matter that was originally about Shangguan Zhongtang.
Seeing the surprise on Li Yue's face, Li Feng explained, "Although Xie Feng's status is currently just a commoner, the talent and knowledge in Xie Feng's mind, if there hadn't been those exceptions before, the Supreme of Dragon Country would likely have been surnamed Xie by now.
The Supreme has always valued talent. Someone like Xie Feng cannot be allowed to perish, which is why this matter is being taken so seriously."
Li Yue nodded after hearing Li Feng's explanation.
Then, Li Yue still had some doubts and asked Li Feng, "But Dad, Xie Feng has been missing for more than twenty years. Let alone whether he was really taken back to Sang Country by ninjas, even if he did go to Sang Country, would the people of Sang Country let him go?"
As she spoke, Li Yue pursed her lips. "What I mean is, is Xie Feng really still alive?"
Hearing this, Li Feng also pursed his lips and said, "Our relationship with Sang Country is unusual, and Shangguan Zhongtang's attempt to assassinate Xie Feng will definitely provide them with Xie Feng's information.
The people of Sang Country are not stupid. Faced with such a talent, they will definitely try their best to make Xie Feng useful to them.
My information also indicates that Xie Feng is likely alive, but not one hundred percent. It is precisely because it is not one hundred percent certain that he is alive that someone needs to go and investigate now. If it is confirmed that he is still alive in Sang Country, then we can directly demand his return."
This was indeed true. Given Dragon Country's current strength and status in the world, if Sang Country truly had Xie Feng alive, they could directly demand him from the Supreme of Sang Country.
If they refused to hand him over... then they would just take Sang Country itself.
After listening to Li Feng's words, Li Yue completely understood the situation and nodded. "Okay, Dad. I fully understand the situation. I will do my best to investigate Xie Feng's whereabouts. If he is still alive, I will definitely bring him back."
Li Feng patted Li Yue's shoulder. "As the King, I naturally think so. But as your father, I still hope that you can return home safely in the end. Do you understand?"
Li Yue nodded. "I understand, Dad. Please don't worry."
The father and daughter spoke a few more words, and then they left the study.
After coaxing Li Yue's mother to sleep, Li Yue quietly left home, gathered her forces under the moonlight, and set off for Sang Country.
At this time, at the bottom of the sea, Su Yang was sleeping soundly. After entering the seabed, all information about the Yangwei was blocked. Outsiders could not detect Su Yang's whereabouts at all. Only Shangguan Zhongtang knew that Su Yang was heading to Sang Country.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered that Su Yang's trip to Sang Country might be a trap, but Shangguan Zhongtang was already committed and had a glimmer of hope.
He believed that his actions would not be discovered by others, and that he had people above him, so nothing would happen to him.
This was what Shangguan Zhongtang could most accept in his heart at this moment.
It was midnight, but Shangguan Zhongtang was not asleep. He had experienced many battles, but this time, Shangguan Zhongtang was gambling his entire fortune and preparing for a desperate fight against a young brat.
He could not lose, and he would not lose.
This was what Shangguan Zhongtang thought. He had no idea about the situation in Kyoto, nor did he know that the Assassination Hall, with which he had cooperated for so long, had betrayed him.
In fact, he was still contacting the Assassination Hall at this very moment.
When Shangguan Zhongtang was in Kyoto, he generally did not directly contact the Assassination Hall, fearing that it would implicate him. He always contacted them indirectly. However, now that he was in international waters and about to reach Sang Country's territory, no one would monitor Shangguan Zhongtang's calls, so he dared to contact the Assassination Hall directly.
However, it was also at night, and he only dared to do so after Tang Shanhe and the others had fallen asleep.
"Hello?"
"Who is it?!" Sakata's beautiful dream was interrupted, and he was in a very, very bad mood.
But this was his private phone, and very few people knew about it. Only important business contacts knew this number, so Sakata could not afford not to answer.
Although Sakata had never contacted Shangguan Zhongtang before, Shangguan Zhongtang had brought a lot of profit to the Assassination Hall over the past twenty years.
"You haven't heard my voice, so you probably can't tell who I am," Shangguan Zhongtang said from the other end of the phone.
Although Sakata couldn't recognize Shangguan Zhongtang's voice, Shangguan Zhongtang's tone was very steady and confident, which made Sakata a little respectful.
After all, only big bosses knew about this phone number.
"Then who are you?" Sakata asked, lowering his tone.
