Chapter 123
"Don't joke." Feng Ao Tian smiled at him, raised his hand, and touched his handsome face with the palm of his hand. His phoenix eyes showed a rare tenderness. Since coming to this world, she was grateful that there was someone who could accompany her on her journey, no matter how difficult or treacherous the road ahead might be. As long as there was such a person by her side, she wouldn't feel tired.
Leng Qianye gazed at her, recalling the past, but why couldn't he remember the bad things she had done to him in those two years? Now his heart was filled with her tenderness towards him and his inner peace. Perhaps this was his haven, and also his hope for living on. He couldn't help but smile lightly, opening his arms to embrace her. "Your Majesty..."
Feng Ao Tian felt that in front of Leng Qian Ye, her majesty was completely gone. He had always been this overbearing to himself, either ignoring her or actively pulling her into his arms, never showing a hint of gentleness, nor allowing her to display her own imperial dignity.
Leng Qianye knew in her heart that she was surrounded by excellent people, and he was just one of them. However, he still wanted to selfishly possess her for himself, even if she was an emperor, even if there was a hint of brutality deep within her bones. Even if it meant flying into the fire and shattering his body, he had to be with her. Only then did he realize that the domineering desire hidden in his heart was already so deeply ingrained, it had penetrated to the marrow of his bones.
He was thinking, when did he have such a strong affection for her? But now, he has no way to retreat, he just wants to cherish every moment with her.
Feng Ao Tian could feel the strong possessiveness bursting out from Leng Qian Ye's heart, but she had more important things to do now. Since she ordered the attack on Ling Ji Guo, the situation on this continent had already begun to change. Her fate was in her own hands, and as for others' fates? She suddenly thought of Du Gu Xing Ye, that ghostly figure who made her feel fearful. She suddenly hugged Leng Qian Ye tightly, she wouldn't let him be defeated, even if he came seeking the shadow that was her. She would stand at the peak of power and tell him his shadow had already died, long gone with the wind after that one shot. The current her was the emperor who wanted to conquer the world, Feng Ao Tian.
Leng Qianye felt the strong cold aura emanating from Feng Ao Tian's body, and he let her hold him tightly. All he could do was to stay by her side and pave a path she desired.
The old cat put away his palm, looked at Pei Han who had already fallen asleep, got up quietly, took out a handkerchief, wiped the thin sweat on his forehead, turned around and left the tent.
The soldiers outside the gate naturally didn't know who he was, but seeing that he had just defeated Dugu Xingye and was also so close to the Emperor, they didn't dare to be rude and stood respectfully on one side.
The cat gentleman raised his eyes, looking at the sky in front of him, and followed Feng Ao Tian's breath into Leng Qian Ye's camp. He saw the two embracing each other in the distance, and his mouth twitched as he stepped forward, raising his hand to separate Leng Qian Ye and Feng Ao Tian. Taking advantage of the momentum, he fell into Feng Ao Tian's arms and whispered, "Master, I'm really weak now."
Feng Ao Tian looked at him and naturally knew that he was being playful again. She thought of Ye Xiao Hui, wondering if the two of them would fight when he returned, after all, they were a match made in heaven.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh dryly, and my fingers lightly circled around the cat's waist, pinching him hard, "If you're weak, then stay in the border for a couple of days, I'll be back in the capital soon."
"Master, I'm fine now." The cat heard Feng Ao Tian's words and quickly straightened up, smiling.
Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, "Hmph, since it's settled, then follow me back to the capital."
"That's naturally great." Master Cat couldn't wait to hurry back to the palace, raised his eyes and glanced at Leng Qianye. This Leng Qianye was extremely handsome, with an extraordinary temperament that transcended the ordinary, and coupled with Mu Han Yao, he would probably be jealous to death again in these few days.
Feng Ao Tian naturally knew his little thoughts, but what she was thinking of was Xuan Yuan Yu in the capital. He must be planning something now, and she didn't want him to destroy her own nest. More importantly, Han Jin's current situation made her have to return to the palace to recuperate.
Rei Kiriya listened to her words, feeling a little lost. The time they spent together in Japan was so short that it made him cherish and reluctant to part with her even more. He just stood quietly on one side, looking at her, this farewell, not knowing when they could meet again.
Feng Ao Tian turned his gaze, looking at Leng Qian Ye, "The day the country is conquered and flattened will be the day you return to court."
"Yes, I obey!" Cold Qianye bowed his head and accepted the order, now seeing her had become his expectation.
He returned immediately after arranging the border defenses, and upon entering the camp, he saw that Cat Imperial Concubine was still nestled in Feng Ao Tian's arms. Leng Qian Ye stood to one side, and the two exchanged a smile. For some reason, this scene was particularly jarring to him. His cold expression seemed even chillier as he stepped forward, stopping in front of her. "Your Majesty, the border defenses have been arranged."
"Hmm." Feng Ao Tian looked at Mu Han Yao, released the cat, took a step forward, stood in front of him, and held his hand. "Let's go for a walk."
"Yes." Mu Han nodded solemnly and turned around, following her footsteps out of the tent.
The old cat looked at the two people leaving, hummed coldly, and then stepped out, also leaving the camp.
Leng Qianye turned around, walked to the bedside, sat down slowly, stroking the place where she had lain, leaning sideways, raised her eyes, and looked at everything in front of her. It had only been half a month.
Feng Ao Tian grasped Mu Han Yao's hand tightly and walked forward, until they exited the camp. He lowered his head, opened up the hand he was holding, and saw that the palm was stained with blood. He opened up Mu Han Yao's palm and looked at it, seeing a knife wound on it. "You're injured again."
His cold and distant eyes gazed at her, "Your Majesty..."
Feng Ao Tian didn't raise his eyes, but instead took out the silk handkerchief from his bosom and gently bandaged his hand. He lowered his head, planted a kiss on his palm, then looked up at him and said, "Master will return to the capital soon."
"Mm." Mu Han nodded, thinking of her current busy state, and couldn't help but lift his arm to wrap it around her, pulling her into a strong hug, letting her lean on his broad shoulders. Even the strongest person would get tired sometimes.
Feng Ao Tian leaned quietly on his shoulder, gazing at his stern face with a hint of stubble, and hooked the corner of her mouth, "Tired?"
Mu Han Yao gazed at the distant sky as they walked together on the familiar grassland. This was a place they had been to three times before. The first time, she had inexplicably taken him to the border, where she had imperiously ordered him not to smile at anyone. The second time, they had shared a kiss here, and she had given herself an eagle as a gift, telling him that she would always be by his side. This was the third time, and yet she asked him if he was tired?
His nature, watching everything that's happening now, but he can't turn it back, and instead lets his heart sink again and again. He watches the people coming and going around her, each one is so excellent, and how much weight does he have in her heart?
He couldn't help but mock himself, as a man, a big husband, who had been in the army for over a decade, the only thing he could do was fight bloody battles, but never thought of competing with others for favor or love, let alone falling in love with another man. This result was something he had never expected, yet now he was indeed experiencing it, and it was so sweet that sometimes he would struggle, his heart would ache, just because deep down, how could he allow someone else to be by the side of the one he loved?
But this person's identity was too special, she was too special, and she entered his heart without warning, always descending from the sky when he fell into danger, bringing him hope and warmth.
He now thoroughly understood why his second brother would sacrifice his own life for him, and willingly stay by her side without complaint or regret. On that day, his words still lingered in his mind, what was he thinking of at this moment?
He was tired, his mental fatigue far outweighing his physical exhaustion. Yet he stood tall and unruffled beside her, for he knew that the current situation did not permit him to be tired - she must be even more exhausted than he was.
He replied in a slightly softer tone, "Not tired."
Feng Ao Tian listened to his response, a flash of coldness in his eyes, and her thoughts, how could she not understand that for them, they were once proud people, even if now, they still had their own pride, but somehow, they were being manipulated by her alone, their hearts were struggling.
Feng Ao Tian raised his hand, tiptoed and tapped his forehead, just like the first time he saw him, smiling and saying, "You must always remember, you are my man."
Her fingertips touched his chest, where a "heaven" character was deeply engraved, and she had already been deeply buried there, taking root and merging with the flesh.
He gazed at her with his eyes cast downward, and the majestic nine-foot-tall man was actually tapped on the forehead by another man. This kind of intimacy that was almost like that between a man and a woman had once made him feel repulsed, but now he hoped that she could tap his forehead every day, so he wouldn't be afraid that one day he would lose her.
Feng Ao Tian lightly laughed and took his hand, continuing to walk forward.
An eagle soared in the sky above them, this was their domain.
The tom cat returned to Feng Ao Tian's camp, plopped down on the bed, and felt extremely sad about being casually discarded by Feng Ao Tian.
Bai had just received news and saw Feng Ao Tian and Mu Han Yao from afar, hastily landing beside her, "Master, the capital has changed again."
"Is Xuan Yuan Yu going to take action?" Feng Ao Tian said in a low voice.
"Yes." Baoying replied, "These days, he secretly sent people to infiltrate the capital. Chu Lingtian was released on the surface, seemingly being deported back to Xuanmo country, but in fact, he has already led his troops to rush towards the capital."
"How many men did you bring?" Feng Ao Tian seemed to have expected this and asked in a low voice.
"Thirty thousand horses." Bai hastily replied.
Feng Ao Tian coldly laughed and asked, "How many of his people are in the capital?"
"Fifty thousand." Ba said in a low voice.
"Is that three hundred and fifty thousand?" Feng Ao Tian took Mu Han Yao's hand and turned around, walking towards the military camp.
"It is." Baoying replied.
"Feng Ao Tian's eyes sank, 'Let Xue Ke that little girl go deal with Chu Ling Tian, if she can catch him once, she can catch him again.'"
"But this time, someone else came with Chu Lingtian." Bai raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Ao Tian, saying in a low voice.
Feng Ao Tian hummed and then asked, "Who is it?"
"The first war god of Genmu Country, Bai Feng." Huiyan replied with a frown.
"White Maple?" Feng Ao Tian had some understanding of this person, raised his eyes and looked at Mu Han Yao, "Him, do you recognize him?"
"I've only heard of it." Mu Han replied, thinking of the first war god of Xuanmo Kingdom, who was invincible. "He used his troops like a god. Ten years ago, there was a great upheaval in Xuanmo Kingdom, related to the current Emperor Xuan Yuanhao. Xuan Yuanhao was born and made crown prince, but later, Emperor Xuan fell in love with a woman from the folk, brought her into the palace, and titled her Li Fei. Li Fei had a stunning beauty, a face that could topple cities, and more importantly, she was gentle and kind, able to understand people's hearts. She was the favorite of Emperor Xuan at that time. Less than two years later, Li Fei gave birth to a prince, the twelfth prince. On the day he was born, there were strange signs in the sky. The astrologer observed the stars and reported back to Emperor Xuan, saying that this twelfth prince was the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens' mysterious child, with extraordinary talents. When Emperor Xuan heard this, he was overjoyed and wanted to depose Xuan Yuanhao and make Li Fei's son the new crown prince. This matter shocked the officials at the time, but no matter how they opposed it, Emperor Xuan still insisted on deposing Xuan Yuanhao and making the twelfth prince the new crown prince. Less than two years later, Emperor Xuan demoted the empress, who was also Xuan Yuanhao's mother, due to her jealousy. The next day, he titled Li Fei as the new empress. To preserve her dignity, the former empress hanged herself in the palace that night. Xuan Yuanhao was locked in his own palace and couldn't come out. Ten years ago, Emperor Xuan passed away, and the crown prince was only ten years old. Li Fei had been pulling strings from behind the scenes during Emperor Xuan's reign, and after he died, she hastily made her son ascend to the throne, while she herself took control of the government from behind the curtains. However, this didn't last long. Less than two months later, a palace coup broke out in Xuanmo Kingdom, and Bai Feng rose to fame in that war."
Feng Ao Tian listened to Mu Han Yao's words, for the first time, he knew that he could say so many words, and couldn't help but smile lightly, "You didn't know, you can still talk so much."
"Xuanyuan Yu was secretly gathering his own power during his imprisonment. Ten years ago, he was only fourteen years old. At that time, Bai Feng led an army of 10,000 to attack the capital city guarded by 300,000 soldiers and successfully broke into the imperial palace. Xuanyuan Yu naturally ascended to the throne and became the current Emperor Xuanmo. " Mu Han Yao simply told himself what he knew about Bai Feng and the Xuanmo Empire.
Feng Ao Tian looked at him, "Hmph, 10,000 troops resisting 300,000, using the few to defeat the many. In today's world, perhaps only he has such audacity and strategic thinking. It can be seen that this person is indeed a rare and exceptional general."
"He is well-versed in military strategy and uses troops like a god. I really want to meet him." Mu Han thought of this, and his face couldn't help but have a hint of expression.
Feng Ao Tian smiled and said, "One day, you two will meet."
She recalled the first time, she held her own hand, he held his war horse, what she said, he knew, her ambition had never stopped, he nodded slightly, looking forward to it.
Feng Ao Tian and Mu Han Yao were talking, now they had already entered the military camp. The cat eunuch heard the commotion, rushed out of the tent, and ran to Feng Ao Tian's side, pulling her sleeve, "Master, when are you going back?"
"Go and get ready, we'll set off then." Feng Ao Tian continued.
"The slave is ready." The cat gentleman replied with a smile.
Feng Ao Tian Xiao looked at him and said, "Hmph, in that case, let's set off half an hour later."
"Yes." The old cat smiled with his eyes open.
Feng Ao Tian thought to himself, unexpectedly Xuan Yuan Yun actually let Bai Feng come forward, it can be seen that he has made up his mind to eliminate this Feng Guo, although this is a small country, but it's not something that can be easily swept away by him.
Bai Yi still stood by Feng Ao Tian's side, thinking that even if they rushed back to the capital now, it would take at least another day to arrive. As for those left in the capital, there were only Ling and Xue Ke, a little maid. Although Xue Ke was clever and could handle Chu Ling Tian, but when it came to Bai Feng...
Feng Ao Tian turned his gaze towards Gui and said, "To capture a thief, one must first capture their leader."
"Master, Xuan Yuan Yi's martial arts skills are too strong, I'm afraid our souls won't be a match for him."
"Let Wine Uncle come out." Feng Ao Tian continued.
"Yes." Suddenly, Bao remembered that there was still a wine servant in the palace.
Feng Ao Tian glanced sideways at the cat who was secretly enjoying himself and said, "Look at your gloating expression."
Master, that old drunkard can't always be hiding in seclusion, he's got to come out and take a stroll, otherwise, he'll go moldy.
Feng Ao Tian listened to his grandiose reason, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Leng Qian Ye and Mu Han Yao, "The border will be handed over to you two from now on. Half a month later, I'll be waiting for your good news."
"Yes." Leng Qianye and Mu Hanshuo responded in unison, their voices low and solemn. At this moment, they knew what they had to do, even if it meant giving up a thousand things that were hard to let go of; they still had to do what was right.
Feng Ao Tian Xiao looked at the two of them, then turned around and took the cat's hand, "Let's go."
"Hmm." The tom cat hastily fell into Feng Ao Tian's arms, allowing him to hold his hand as the two flew away together.
Leng Qianye and Mu Han Yao watched as Feng Ao Tian's figure disappeared into the distance, their eyes gleaming with a cold light.
Leng Qianye turned her gaze and looked at Mu Han Yao, "Will you blame me?"
"Agreed." Mu Han turned his gaze away and looked at Leng Qianye, "But everything is already irreversible. Even if you blame him, your heart can no longer be taken back."
"Han Yao, I didn't expect it either." Leng Qianye sighed faintly, his handsome face as dust-covered as ever, with a hint of indifference. "She just entered my heart like that, leaving me unprepared."
The cold and stern face flashed with a hint of melancholy, "Yes, it's just that we didn't keep our hearts well, or perhaps we couldn't bear to put them away."
Leng Qianye stepped forward, patting Mu Han's shoulder from afar, "Let's go, our country is still waiting for us."
"Hmm." Mu Han nodded slightly and turned around, following Leng Qianye back to their camp.
In the capital, Xuan Yuan Ye also received the news. His handsome face was tinged with a cold smile, "I wonder if I overestimated Dugu Xingye or underestimated him?"
"Your Majesty, Feng Ao Tian's abilities are truly not to be underestimated. If we let her continue to develop like this, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future." The attendant said in a low voice beside him.
Xuanyuan's eyes gleamed with a faint chill, rotating the cup in his hand, as a cold and stern light shot out from his eyes, "Tomorrow at dawn, I want to see the blood of Fengguo flowing like a river."
"Yes, I'll go and inform them right away." The attendant hastily replied.
Xuanyuan Yu raised his eyes, gazing forward. What he hated the most was that everything wasn't under his control, including people's hearts. In this world, there could only be one ruler, and that was Xuanyuan Yu, it had to be him.
Le Qi Guo, Wei Zi Mo also received the news at the first time, and even knew that Xuan Yuan Yu had some movement towards Feng Guo. His beautiful eyes were exceptionally cold and sharp, his bright red clothes fluttering in the wind, the cold wind piercing through his robes like a sword sealed in ice, extremely chilly.
He gazed into the distance, Xuan Yuan's means, he was of course aware, tonight once past, afraid is, this world will no longer have Feng Guo, and Feng Ao Tian will also disappear with it.
Just thinking that she had disappeared like this, his heart felt inexplicably empty. Shouldn't he be happy? He would no longer unintentionally appear in front of him, wasn't that better?
Xing Wuyun unknowingly fell onto the soft couch outside his beaded curtain, today he rarely didn't hold a wine jug but instead looked at his cold and elegant side profile, "Do you know?"
"Uh-huh." Wei Zimo nodded.
"You say, will she die?" Xing Wuyun said in a low voice.
"I don't know." Wei Zimo shook his head and said.
"How could I not know?" Xing Wuyun slanted her eyes, looking at Wei Zimo, "I want to go to Fengguo."
"Even if you go, it won't change anything." Wei Zimo said calmly.
Xing Wuyun fell silent, collecting his usual carefree demeanor, one hand propping up his head as he gazed at the distant moonlight. "My intuition tells me that she won't be easily defeated."
"Really?" Wei Zuo Mo replied in a low voice, "Maybe."
Wu Yueguo, Ye Mei Xiang had just learned of Feng Ao Tian's situation, he hastily got up, "Have all the people sent by Mo Yan Ge returned?"
"Half of them have died." Xiang Han replied.
"Damn it, Bai Feng is actually so formidable." Ye Mei's eyes were cold and gloomy as she thought about how she had received the news early on and tried to stop Bai Feng, but still let him leave.
"Your Majesty, Bai Feng has already rushed to the capital of Feng Guo and will arrive tonight." Xiang Han replied.
"Get changed, I'm going to Feng Guo." Ye Mei Xi stepped forward and said in a low voice.
Early summer and Xiang Han faced each other, looking at Ye Mei Xi, naturally knowing his current worries. However, the power of Xuan Mo country was too great, Wu Yue country could not resist at all, what to do?
"Your Majesty, if you go, what will happen to this Wu Yue Kingdom?" Chuxia hastily stepped forward and said.
Yè Mèi Xī didn't even turn her head, took off the dragon robe on her body, "If she's gone, what's the point of me being alive? What does this Wū Yuè country mean to me?"
Early summer listened to Ye Yan's words, sighed silently in her heart, and then went forward with Xiang Han to change into a dark red shirt for him. He hurriedly flew out of the body and left Wu Yue Country.
The Chancellor's Mansion, Ling Frost had just finished handling official business when she learned of Ye Hui's departure. A hint of melancholy flashed across her eyes, and in the end, she couldn't stop him.
A dark figure descended, Ling Fengxue raised her eyes, looked at the person, and quickly knelt on the ground, "Subordinate greets the respected master!"
"Is he gone?" the man in black asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Ling Fengxue replied truthfully.
"Hmph, since you've left, don't ever come back." The man said sternly, "Do you know what to do next?"
"I understand." Ling Fengxue replied calmly, raising her eyes to gaze at the man wearing a ghostly mask, secretly sighing in her heart.
The ghostly man flew away, and Ling Xue slowly got up, lowered her head, looked at the memorial in front of her, and a hint of dim light flashed across her eyes.
Lan Xuan returned to the palace, the sky had darkened, his mind was still restless, he hadn't slept last night, although extremely tired, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Gu Ye Feng was in Yi Mu's bedroom, and they had just finished their dinner.
Gu Ye Feng looked around and suddenly felt relieved, "Ah, tonight will definitely be a good night's sleep."
Yi Mu looked at him and said, "Jing Shu is right, if you always stay in the harem, it will lead to gossip."
"I don't care." Gu Ye Feng raised his eyes and looked at him, "What? You think I have feelings for the Emperor?"
Yi Mu looked at him, "Isn't it?"
"I really don't know what's good about her, she has a bad temper, loves to hold grudges, and is sinister. Just because she has a pretty face, but in the end, she's still a man. I like women." Gu Ye Feng pushed his wheelchair to the desk and said.
Yi Mu slowly walked forward, looking at his resentful expression, and smiled shallowly, "Yes, what's so good about her."
Gu Ye Feng glanced sideways at Yi Mu, feeling that he had changed somewhat from before. "I'm saying, what's been going on with you lately?"
"Me?" Yi Mu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she sat down, picking up her tea cup, taking a light sip, and smiled as she said, "What else can I do, but live the life I want to lead."
Gu Ye Feng flipped through the book in his hand, "You have a secret."
"Everyone has," said Yi Mu with a faint smile.
Gu Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, "You guys, one by one, nowadays, being messed up by the Emperor, are all abnormal."
"You're not?" Yi Mu smiled as he looked at him, "Those who are in the midst of it are confused, while those who observe from the outside are clear. I couldn't see through myself, and you can't either."
Gu Ye Feng thought for a moment and then waved his hand, saying, "You're starting to ramble on again."
He smiled faintly and said nothing, he just hid his thoughts too deeply, perhaps this secret would be buried with him in the yellow spring.
Lan Yun shed the fatigue of the day, wearing a light blue undergarment, and walked to the side of the dragon bed, looking at Feng Yuqi beside him, seeing that he had changed a bit compared to a few days ago.
His eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then he said in a warm voice, "I don't know, how is the Emperor's side?"
"Blue Maidens." The soul's voice echoed at this time.
Lan Yun's book raised her eyes and saw that her soul had fallen not far away.
He stood up, walked out of the inner hall, and looked at the soul in front of him, "Is there any news from the Emperor?"
"Yes." Soul replied, "Lady Blue, the Master has ordered me to inform you that tonight, there will be a great commotion in the capital. I will send someone to protect you, and you must not leave the Imperial Chamber under any circumstances." Soul continued.
"What's going on?" Lan Yunshu thought, what else could be happening in the capital that would make the Emperor give such instructions? Unless there was a huge crisis, the Emperor wouldn't have been so insistent. He looked at his soul, "Is the Xuanmo Emperor making a move?"
"It's true." Huan didn't find it surprising that Lan Xichen would ask such a question, for in his opinion, the people around Master were naturally intelligent.
Lan Yun hesitated for a moment, "Alright, I understand."
The soul nodded and then flew away immediately.
Lan Yun turned her gaze, looking at Feng Yu Qi on the other side of the bed, and said in a low voice, "It seems that His Majesty is going to return, but in any case, there can't be chaos within the capital."
He lifted his steps again and walked out of the bedroom, looking at one side of the four joys, "Go and inform Yi Servant to let him come with Gu Ye Feng to the Emperor's Bedroom."
"Yes." Si Xi replied, and personally went to report.
Yi Mu and Gu Ye Feng were chatting idly when they heard Si Xi come to report, the two of them looked at each other in surprise.
"Looks like there's going to be a big commotion in the capital tonight." Yi Mu looked at Gu Ye Feng, "Let's go, you're probably going to lose sleep tonight too."
Gu Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache, and continued, "Indeed, you're really good at picking times."
The two of them slowly walked towards the Emperor's bedroom. Once they entered, they saw Lan Jingxuan sitting on a low couch, gazing at the scenery outside the palace.
"It's been a while since that last incident, and now it's starting again." Gu Ye Feng said with some solemnity.
"This time is more perilous than last time." Lan Jing Shu looked at Gu Ye Feng, "Xuan Mo Emperor took action personally."
Gu Ye Feng listened to Lan Xuan Shu's words, slightly stunned, and said angrily, "The Emperor is indeed a magnet for people. Now, even the great god Xuán Mò has been provoked."
Yi Mu looked at him and sat down beside Lan Jing's body, "The Emperor will probably rush back."
"Hmm." Lan Jing nodded, "As long as we are here, the imperial court will not be in chaos."
"Judging from your tone, it seems His Majesty has already thought of a countermeasure." Yi Mu said calmly.
"Mm." Lan Jing said softly.
"Alas, when will these days come to an end." Gu Ye Feng thought that his recent days had never stopped, and he had been passing them in a state of busyness and anxiety.
Lan Yun Shu looked at him and said, "It won't come to that."
Gu Ye Feng sighed and looked up at the sky, no longer speaking.
On the city wall, Yi Yang wore a brown armor, his face solemn.
Standing beside him was Xue Ke, clad in a suit of silver armor that exuded an aura of awe-inspiring heroism. She turned her gaze towards Yi Yang, "Commander Yi, I've heard that the one who has come this time is the first war god of Xuemo Country, Bai Fen."
Yi Yang turned his gaze, looked at Xue Ke who was a few years younger than his son, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a young girl could actually destroy the Ling Yue Kingdom.
In the past, he was most opposed to women in office. Now, his heart is still not depressed, but for Xue Ke, it can also be said that he has given her a few more looks.
He slightly stunned, thinking of Bai Feng, his eyes gleaming with a hint of gloom, "Unexpectedly, the Emperor Xuanmo really does look up to the Phoenix Country."
"Yi Yuanshuai, you said if it were you against Bai Feng, who would win and who would lose?" Xue Ke continued to ask.
Yi Yang fell silent for a moment before responding, "I don't know."
Xue Ke looked at him and said, "I say, Feng Guo will definitely win."
Yi Yang looked puzzled and stared at her, "The Xuanmo Kingdom is all elite soldiers and generals, compared to the Feng Kingdom, the advantage is great."
"What's it to you?" Xue Ke said confidently, "Don't forget, there's also the Emperor."
Yi Yang continued, "However, Your Majesty is now far away at the border, and distant water cannot put out a fire nearby."
"Yi Yuanshuai, do you want to have a match with Bai Fen?" Xue Ke hastily changed the subject.
For this topic, all the leaders will be interested, and even the usually silent Yi Yang is no exception. As the saying goes, "heroes cherish heroes", he rarely shows a hint of a smile, "naturally think".
"That's for today. Later, I'll let General Yi send someone to summon you, and have you and Bai Feng have a good fight, how about it?" Xue Ke said, looking at Yi Yang.
Yi Yang found Snow's words quite pleasant and nodded in agreement, "Good."
Xue Ke's eyes flashed with cunning, and he continued, "According to the scouts' reports, Bai Feng has a total of 300,000 troops, and there are still 50,000 troops lurking within the city."
"Hmm, now the 200,000 troops at Beishan Military Camp are already here, compared to his 300,000 troops, they are short of 100,000." Yi Yang thought about it and continued, "This battle will definitely be extremely perilous."
"As long as General keeps the capital safe and doesn't let Bai Feng enter, everything will be fine once the Emperor returns to Beijing." Xue Ke reminded from the side.
"Yes, just defend and don't attack." Yi Yang hastily nodded, then turned his gaze to Xue Ke, "This little girl is quite clever."
"Thank you for your praise, General." Xue Ke hastily replied, and then said, "In that case, I will only listen to the general's orders from now on."
"Good." Yi Yang nodded.
Feng Ao Tian and Master Cat rode "Ao Xue" towards the capital, Master Cat sat behind Feng Ao Tian, his hands wrapped around her waist, his head leaning on her back, he was overjoyed in his heart, how he wished to be with his master like this forever.
Feng Ao Tian continued on his way, now it was midnight, and it seemed that the capital city had already begun to stir.
The tom cat could sense Feng Ao Tian's worry, he rubbed his cheek against Feng Ao Tian's back and said in a low voice, "Master, don't worry, with Lao Jiu Gui here, we will naturally be able to take down Xuan Yuan Yi."
Feng Ao Tian listened to his words, and as for the ability of the wine public, she naturally knew it. However, what worried her now was whether Yi Yang and Xue Ke could withstand Bai Feng.
"That Xue Ke is a clever girl, she won't be taken advantage of." said the cat gentleman.
Feng Ao Tian thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I think the one who doesn't want to go back now is you."
"Who said that." The cat thought about the things of the past, and still sighed helplessly. If he didn't go back, when would Master's medicine arrive?
Feng Ao Tian's mouth corners slightly hooked, "As I said."
"You don't understand me at all, Master," the cat said in a low tone. "I am but a blade of grass beside you, swaying with every move you make."
Feng Ao Tian listened to his words, and his mouth twitched, "You really treat yourself as a weed."
"That's natural." The old cat thought, compared to those flowers that are either domesticated or wild, flowers always have a time of withering, but grass is different, never heard of it, the grass on the distant plains, blown by the spring breeze, and reborn, it's everywhere.
At midnight, Yi Yang and Xue Ke saw a large group of people slowly walking towards the city gate from afar. The two men at the front, Xue Ke naturally recognized one of them, while the other was majestic and handsome, probably Bai Fen.
Xue Ke's mouth hooked up, "Indeed, enemies are bound to meet."
Yi Yang naturally knew who Xue Ke was talking about, and followed her gaze to look at Chu Ling Tian and Bai Feng under the city wall. His eyes were cold and silent, without saying a word.
Chu Lingtian gazed at Xue Ke's eyes, his face expressionless. Today, he would avenge his past humiliation and definitely trample the Feng Nation underfoot. As for that woman, he also wanted to take her back with him.
Bai Feng remained silent for a moment before raising his hand, and the soldiers behind him were already poised to strike. After all, this city was home to their emperor, and they had to make a good impression.
In the capital city, Xuan Yuan Yu also heard the movement and naturally knew that Bai Feng had begun to attack the city. He stood solemnly at the window, looking at the distant scenery.
"Your Majesty," a eunuch whispered beside him, "should the 50,000 troops within the capital be mobilized?"
"Hmm." Xuan Yuan replied.
"The slave will pass on the order." The attendant replied and then backed out.
On the city wall, Xue Ke played with the long sword in her hand, and Chu Ling Tian met her eyes. A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, while the shouts of the soldiers from the Xuemo Kingdom and the heavy sound of colliding with the city gate came from her ears.
Yi Yang looked at Bai Feng, raised his hand, and the stone that had been prepared by his side was already smashing down under his command. In an instant, he heard the sound of someone being smashed off the scaffolding.
Lan Jing stood with his hands behind him in the center of the grand hall, and he could faintly hear the sounds of killing shouts not far away. Yi Mu walked forward, looking at him, "Don't worry, the Emperor will rush back."
"Mm." Lan Jing's warm voice responded, at this time, he could only wait.
Ye Mei Xi had already left Wu Yue Country and was hurrying to Feng Country, he flew swiftly through the night, his dark red clothes revealing endless seduction.
Early summer and Xiang Han followed closely behind him, looking at his solemn expression, the two of them didn't dare to say much, they just quietly followed.
What was weighing on Ye Zhi's mind was Feng Ao Tian's comfort. Now, he thought that as long as he could be with her, the danger of the past few times didn't matter, but now, he just wanted to stay by her side properly, even if it meant death, he would be there for her.
At the beginning of summer, looking at the road ahead, she thought that if they rushed like this, they would be dead tired before reaching Feng Guo. She couldn't help but speak up, "Your Majesty, why not take a rest?"
Xiang Han was also worried, after all, Ye Yan's body had only just recovered not long ago. If he continued to rush around like this, with the current cold and dew, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. He couldn't help but agree, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest?"
Yè Mèi Xī didn't pay attention to the two of them, continuing to hurry forward, "If we keep up this speed, by tomorrow morning we'll be able to arrive, everything will still make it in time."
Early summer and Xiang Han saw him so stubborn, they didn't say much anymore, but instead sighed and looked at him, not even noticing that his sleeve was torn by the tree branch, still desperately rushing forward, after all, it's helpless.
