Chapter 5657 Questioning

"As I recall, you are the one who just commanded these patrolling generals, right?"

Zhang Yifeng groaned, looked at Wen Ping indifferently and asked.

"Yes... I understand that under the current circumstances, we are bound to lose."

"So I am willing to surrender. If you want to kill me, please kill me alone. Please let the others go."

Wen Ping listened to Zhang Yifeng's question, gradually came to his senses, and replied through gritted teeth.

Although he was shocked by the strength of Zhang Yifeng and the other two, he understood that the most important thing now was to save the lives of the others.

These colleagues did this only because they trusted him and believed his words.

The main culprit was Wen Ping himself, and he didn't want to implicate other colleagues.

"You are an open-minded person, but it's a pity that you followed such a person."

Xuanyuan Li spoke in a deep voice, his eyes glancing towards the place where Mingyue had just stood, obviously noticing that Mingyue had escaped during the chaos.

"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why bother to mock me?"

Wen Ping's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't care at all about what Xuanyuan Li said.

If he was like this, he would resent his adoptive father, so why would he stay alone?

Wen Ping was ready to use his own death to appease Wen Lan's anger.

"Don't worry, we won't kill you. Your life will be decided by the Sea King."

Zhang Yifeng shook his head. They were not from the sea clan, so there was no need for them to overstep their authority and decide the life and death of Wen Ping and others on behalf of Wen Lan.

When Wen Ping heard this, he couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

Zhang Yifeng did not continue to waste time talking to him. He directly tied up all the patrolling generals who were knocked unconscious on the ground with a magic thread.

Then he led his men towards the Palace of Neptune.

"Let's go, what are you still standing there for?"

A voice came from behind, Wen Ping turned around and saw Lan Yun walking towards him with three unconscious patrol generals.

Wen Ping recognized them at a glance. These were the three patrol generals he had sent to Yinghai to clean up Lan Yun, Zhang Yifeng and others.

He originally thought that Lan Yun and the others had returned safely, and these three people must have died at their hands.

As it turns out, even the three of them are safe and sound, with only minor skin injuries on their bodies.

Soon, Zhang Yifeng brought his men to the Palace of Poseidon.

Wen Lan sat upright on the throne, but his pale face showed that he had not yet recovered from the burden brought by the forceful use of the power of the Heart of the Sea.

The captain of the guards who had previously escaped into the palace had already informed Wen Lan and Hai Wen about what had happened outside the Palace of Poseidon.

When the two heard that Zhang Yifeng had resolved the crisis of the sea clan with the strength of just a few people, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.

In their opinion, Zhang Yifeng might indeed be very strong.

But it was not so easy to scare Mingyue away and knock out all the patrolling generals so easily.

It was not until they saw Zhang Yifeng personally throwing a group of unconscious patrolling generals to the floor in the hall that the two of them confirmed Zhang Yifeng's strength.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang, for saving our sea people from a useless fight."

Wen Lan spoke weakly, trying hard not to show any pain on his face.

Seeing this, Zhang Yifeng raised his hand and a beam of spiritual light flew out and merged into Wen Lan's body.

All of a sudden, Wen Lan felt relaxed all over, and his heart, which had been aching, gradually calmed down.

Wen Lan's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he was about to say something when he saw Zhang Yifeng waving his hand.

"Your Highness, this is your sea clan's family affair, so I won't get involved too much."

"Now that all the patrolling generals of the sea tribe are here, please make your own decision, Your Majesty the Sea King."

Zhang Yifeng said solemnly, turned around and walked aside.

Upon hearing this, Wen Lan lowered his head silently, with a look of hesitation on his face.

"Lord Sea King, today's incident was caused by me. Please don't blame others."

"If you want to punish me, I, Wen Ping, am willing to die as a token of my sin."

Wen Ping walked forward, knelt down in front of Wen Lan, and spoke in a low voice.

Looking at Wen Ping kneeling in front of him, Wen Lan couldn't help but flash a look of regret in his eyes.

Among all the sea people, the one he admired the most was Wen Ping.

In addition to the understanding they had grown up with, Wen Ping was worthy of the title of the first warrior of the sea clan in terms of his character, strategy, and even personal bravery.

But his adoptive father is Mingyue. If it weren't for Mingyue's order, Wenlan believed that he would never betray him until his death.

But now that Mingyue's betrayal is a foregone conclusion, if Wenlan doesn't give an explanation...

When he thought of this, Wen Lan felt a headache.

"Your Highness, the Sea King, Wen Ping is still a warrior of our sea clan after all. It is not a good idea to execute him directly."

"Why not let him redeem himself for his crime and bring people to capture Mingyue."

Hai Wen stood beside Wen Lan, and saw at a glance the struggle in his heart at the moment, and immediately spoke in a deep voice to persuade him.

As he said this, he did not forget to wink at Wen Ping who was kneeling on the ground, indicating that he should agree.

Hai Wen was of course also aware that Wen Ping was only following Mingyue's instructions and that he would never have any thoughts of rebellion.

At this moment, Hai Wen was simply giving Wen Ping a way out so that he could save his life first.

"No, if I hadn't had my adoptive father, I would have died on the island with my father."

"If you two, the Sea King and the Sea Minister, want my life, just take it. Don't feel awkward about it."

"But it is impossible for me to capture my foster father with my own hands."

Wen Ping raised his head, his eyes full of determination, and he was unwilling to go down the steps given by Hai Wen.

"Wen Ping, this is your last chance!"

Wen Lan originally wanted to follow his father's words and pretend to let Wen Ping make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, but in fact he would only imprison him for a short period of time and then slowly reinstate him after the storm was over.

As a result, Wen Ping's extremely resolute tone aroused Wen Lan's anger.

This time, his father-in-law almost died at Mingyue's hands, but he didn't say anything yet.

Wen Ping actually supports Mingyue so much. Doesn't he know his difficulties?

"Okay, okay, then you do it!"

Wen Lan slammed the throne and stood up, angrily ordering Wen Ping to commit suicide on the spot.

Just when the atmosphere became extremely tense, two voices rang out one after another.

"My Lord Sea King, foster father, Wen Ping has absolutely no ulterior motives towards the sea people. Please be clear about this!"

Lan Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took a step forward, knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.

"Your Highness the Sea King, the sea tribe is in need of people right now, and as a king you should act with caution."

"Besides, this incident involving the sea tribe did not cause any casualties, so why should His Majesty the Sea King be angry?"

Zhang Yifeng shook his head and spoke loudly.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing that Wen Lan was about to do something irrational in anger, he still had to stand up and persuade him.

If Wenlan insisted on doing so, Zhang Yifeng would not speak again.

Wen Ping did not expect at this moment that the person he wanted to kill before would actually plead for him at this time.
