If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

Little turtle?

These three words were like a resounding slap across Yang Lie's face!

What a shame!

"You...you dare to insult me?"

Yang Lie was so angry that he trembled all over, gritted his teeth, and wished he could devour Qin Feng alive.

"Qin Feng, you just wait and see! My father is the mighty General Yang Qinhu, commanding 100,000 border troops!"

"The Yang family will remember this debt! Be careful when you walk alone at night in the future, or you might lose your head without even knowing it!"

Faced with this threat, Qin Feng showed only disdain.

"All you can do is call him 'Dad'?"

"What, are you still a three-year-old who hasn't been weaned?"

"Or are you saying that without your father, you're just a useless piece of trash?!"

Every word is piercing to the heart!

"Pfft!"

Yang Lie felt a sweet taste in his throat and could no longer suppress the surging blood in his chest. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes rolled back, and he fainted from sheer rage.

"Young Master!"

"Quickly! Go and fetch a doctor!"

The servants and guards of the Yang family were thrown into chaos, frantically carrying the unconscious Yang Lie into the mansion.

Suzaku Avenue fell silent once again.

All the onlookers stared at Qin Feng as if he were a monster.

This newly appointed Marquis of Loyalty is too fierce!

He beat the son of a mighty general in the street and made him so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Qin Feng ignored everyone's reactions, pulled up Bai Wanqing who was still in shock, and said to Fatty Wang, "Let's go, let's continue looking at the house."

"Ah? Yes, young master!"

Wang Pangzi jolted awake, scrambling to his feet and following behind Qin Feng, barely daring to breathe.

It took Bai Wanqing a long walk before she finally came to her senses.

She stopped, her gentle face filled with worry. She grasped Qin Feng's arm and whispered, "Xiao Feng, you were just... too impulsive."

"Yang Lie is the only son of the mighty General. Now you have severely injured him and humiliated him like that. The Yang family will absolutely not let this go!"

Qin Feng stopped and turned around to look at her intently.

"Sister-in-law, do you think he'll let us go if I back down today?"

Bai Wanqing was taken aback.

No, it won't.

Qin Feng shook his head and continued, "It was Yang Lie who tried to kill me first, and he was the one who insulted the entire Qin family for their loyalty and bravery!"

"There's no use backing down when dealing with this kind of mad dog. The more you back down, the more he'll think you're easy to bully, and he'll only become more aggressive."

"Only by thoroughly terrifying him, by instilling fear into his very bones, will he dare not provoke us again!"

Qin Feng's words were resounding and powerful.

Bai Wanqing was exceptionally intelligent and naturally understood this principle, but she was still worried: "As the saying goes, 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered down,' and now we..."

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; it's because the bird doesn't fly high enough!"

Qin Feng turned around and smiled confidently.

"Sister-in-law, I, Qin Feng, am not a sparrow under the eaves, but a roc soaring ninety thousand miles high! When I do fly, I soar to the heavens! The mere Yang family cannot stop me!"

These words shocked Bai Wanqing, as if she were seeing the man in front of her for the first time.

He was no longer the boy who needed her protection, but a truly upright man who could hold up the sky for her!

Qin Feng already had his own plans in mind.

The Yun family, the Left Prime Minister, already sees him as a thorn in their side.

Even if we add another mighty general like Yang Qinhu, it's just a case of having more debts than we need to worry about.

Moreover, he knew very well that in this Great Xia Dynasty, the real decision-makers were neither the Left Prime Minister nor the Grand General.

They're royalty!

As long as I hold on tightly to Xia Yingtai's long legs, no matter how powerful the Yun and Yang families are, what can they do to me?

"Fatty Wang!"

Qin Feng called out.

"I am here!"

Fatty Wang hurried forward, his chubby face beaming like a chrysanthemum.

After that earth-shattering scene, his attitude towards Qin Feng had changed from respect to utter awe.

"Aside from the Yang residence, are there any other suitable houses on Zhuque Street?"

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

Fatty Wang nodded vigorously and quickly introduced, "Right across from the Yang residence, there is a three-courtyard house. The original owner was an official who was transferred to another post and was in a hurry to sell, so the price is very reasonable."

"Most importantly, the furniture and furnishings inside are all complete, made of the finest mahogany. Young Master, you can move in with just your bags!"

"Take me to see it."

Soon, led by Fatty Wang, the three arrived at a magnificent mansion.

The vermilion gate and flying eaves and brackets, though not as grand as the Yang Mansion, are serene and elegant.

Fatty Wang took out his key, opened the door, and led Qin Feng and Bai Wanqing inside.

Pavilions, terraces, towers, artificial hills, and flowing water—everything is there.

Qin Feng looked around and was quite satisfied.

"How much?"

"Young Master, the owner of that house is asking for six thousand taels of silver!" Fatty Wang reported the price.

Six thousand taels is an astronomical figure for an ordinary family.

But for Qin Feng, who now possesses a fortune of tens of thousands of taels of silver, it's nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

"Okay, this is it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng took out six one-thousand-tael silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Fatty Wang.

"Go find the homeowner and complete the transfer of ownership. You can handle the rest."

"Alright! Young Master Marquis, you're such a straightforward person!"

Fatty Wang received the silver note, his face beaming with excitement.

This is a huge business deal; the commission alone is enough for him to live on for several years!

"Also... change the signboard at the entrance to read 'Qin Residence'. In addition, find some reliable servants and maids; we'll be moving in in a few days," Qin Feng instructed.

"I will definitely handle it perfectly for you!" Fatty Wang nodded vigorously.

Just then, Bai Wanqing spoke softly, "Xiao Feng, moving to a new house is a big event, we need to choose an auspicious day."

Qin Feng smiled upon hearing this and said, "Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say, sister-in-law."

……

at the same time.

Imperial Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty, Imperial Study.

A middle-aged man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe was sitting at his desk, reviewing a mountain of memorials.

His face was dignified, exuding authority without anger, and his brows revealed a profound and domineering aura of someone who ruled the world.

He is none other than the current ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Xia Emperor.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the study door was pushed open from the outside.

"Father!"

A clear, melodious, yet slightly mischievous female voice rang out.

A stunningly beautiful young woman dressed in a long palace-style dress strode in.

She wore no makeup, yet she was already breathtakingly beautiful. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn waters rippling across the surface, her skin was as white as snow, and her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Every glance she gave exuded a captivating and unparalleled elegance.

She stood there, and the entire imperial study seemed to brighten up because of her.

If Qin Feng were here, he would definitely recognize that the person in front of him is none other than Xia Yingtai, with whom he used to call brothers and drink and make merry!

But she wasn't wearing a "mask" at this moment, revealing her true appearance.

She barged in without any manners; any other prince would have been severely reprimanded by the Xia Emperor.

However, when the Xia Emperor saw her, the majesty on his face melted instantly, and he revealed a helpless yet doting smile.

"Fuyao, you're always rushing around like this, what kind of behavior is this?"

"Father, someone has made me angry!" she said reproachfully.

"Who is it? Your father will avenge you!" Emperor Xia asked.

"It's you!"

Princess Fuyao uttered a startling remark, her red lips slightly pouting, her exquisite face filled with displeasure.

"Father! Isn't the reward you gave Qin Feng far too meager?"
