Chapter 134 What's He Supposed to Be!
facing dugu ming's rage, xiao jingyuan showed not the slightest hint of panic or fear, which was a significant change from his demeanor in the bedroom, in fact, since the arrival of the four protectors, the two domain lords, and the great commander of the southern territory, his attitude had changed.
ye feng could see this clearly, so from this point, he could deduce that there was a problem with the so-called four guardian realm kings.
unfortunately, up to this point, the king of the southern territory, dugu ming, had still not noticed anything amiss; it seemed that as a king, the dissatisfaction from the several commanders and nine domain lords of the southern territory was not without reason.

the hundred herbs realm lord said, "of course, i have something to say. your majesty, the southern king, i have not even heard of the bewitching incense and blue aristocrat grass that you mentioned just now. moreover, the incense burner and the routine administration of medicine are all managed by divine doctor wu zhong.
i am only responsible for guarding on a daily basis, and i don't involve myself in anything else."
wu zhong was in a panic, blurting out, "this has nothing to do with me, your majesty, the southern king. i am responsible for your diet, daily life, and medical treatment, but i have no knowledge whatsoever of what you've just mentioned."nôv(el)b\\jnn
xiao jingyuan said, "could it be, it's this so-called imposter sitting in the wheelchair who is framing us? it must be so. your majesty, the southern king, you've been deceived by this lad. this nonsense about bewitching incense and blue aristocrat grass is completely unfounded!"
the southern king could not help but tremble with rage, yet at this time, he did not know what to do.
ye feng, upon seeing this, shook his head silently. he wondered how the old southern king had allowed this man to ascend to the throne, or perhaps, was the southern territory really out of options at the time and had no other choice?
dugu ming suddenly turned his head and looked at the four guardian realm kings, asking, "four great protectors, what are your views on this matter?"
the four protectors remained unmoved, and the one holding the jade seal said, "this is indeed bewitching incense. i have spent some time in the hundred herbs garden before, so i can naturally recognize the scent of bewitching incense. besides, i can also recognize the blue aristocrat grass."
dugu ming, hearing this, was overjoyed, thinking that the four great protectors were indeed worthy of being the four great guardian realm kings of the southern territory. but before he could even rejoice,
xia jingyuan snorted coldly, "release me! i've said from the beginning that i am innocent. what are you all waiting for? hurry up and untie me!"
the southern king was so angry he gnashed his teeth. had he not lost all his martial arts prowess at that moment, he probably would have slapped this annoying fly to death.
all at once, king dugu ming of the southern territory finally thought of ye feng. he quickly turned his head and said, "northern king, since you discovered this matter, and it was you who cured my poison and captured xiao jingyuan and wu zhong, you must know their plot inside out. i earnestly implore you to step forward and testify against them!"
upon hearing this, ye feng secretly sighed. he thought how naive the southern king was. anyone with clear sight could see the situation for what it was—a clear case of sacrificing the pawns to save the king, although it was not so much about saving the king as saving a few domain lords.
it was evident that several domain lords had participated in the conspiracy against the king of the southern territory, but for some reason, the lords of nan dong and hengling had heard the rumors in advance and rushed to the moon spring residence to plea for mercy from the four protectors, eventually earning their forgiveness.
perhaps these so-called guardian dharma kings believed that executing these three domain lords at once could potentially lead to unrest in the southern territory. moreover, with the king of the southern territory having lost all his martial arts abilities, he was almost unfit to sit on the throne.
that's why the four protectors, at the price of directly executing wu zhong, insisted on saving xiao jingyuan!
from this perspective, it seemed very likely that king dugu ming of the southern territory might not be able to hold onto his position for much longer!
ye feng let out a silent sigh. although he did not want to get involved at this juncture, since he had uncovered the matter, it was only natural for him to step out and clarify his position.
however, just at that moment, the great protector suddenly let out a cold snort, "northern king? what are you saying, southern king? the crippled boy sitting before us with his legs broken, is he the northern border king? are you joking?"
ye feng's gaze sharpened as he abruptly turned his head to look at this so-called protector dharma king of the southern territory!
the southern king was also taken aback, and for a moment, he had no idea how to respond.
the great protector hummed, "as far as i am concerned, the current acting ruler of the northern border is named zhu guangbo. this crippled person in a wheelchair, what is he supposed to be!"
