"Tian Ming Mountain … Tian Ming Mountain …"
Feng Jixing held the letter in his hand and said with a frown, "Heaven's Edge Mountain is a lone peak. Once it is surrounded, it will be impossible to descend. If there is no military force to coordinate from the inside and outside, it will be a dangerous place."
As he spoke, Feng Jixing cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness Yin, Feng Jixing requests to lead the Imperial Army to rescue Your Majesty!"
"No, not possible!"
The person who objected was Qu Chu. With a solemn face, he said, "Regardless of whether this letter is real or fake, even if His Majesty is really surrounded in Tian Ming Mountain, the Imperial Army must not leave Lan Yan City. Lan Yan City only has this amount of military force. Once the Imperial Army leaves, there will only be forty to fifty thousand men and horses. How can they stop the Yihe Country's three hundred thousand troops?"
Feng Jixing looked up at Qu Chu and said, "Qu, His Majesty is the ruler of this world. As officials, how can we not save him? Taking ten thousand steps back, His Majesty is Xiao Yin's father and treats us like nephews. Yu, do you think that we should not rescue His Majesty? "
Lin Muyu was silent for a few seconds and said, "We should rescue … How about this, I will order the Longdan Army Camp to rescue His Majesty and the Imperial Army will continue to stay in Lan Yan City. What does Big Brother Feng think?"
Feng Jixing's face was a little pale and he did not speak.
Lin Muyu saw through his thoughts, "Big Brother Feng is … You do not trust the Longdan Army Camp?"
"Yes."
Feng Jixing held the Beheading Wind Blade and his eyes were filled with determination, "This time, His Majesty must not have any accidents. I have made up my mind. Feng Jixing will lead the thirty thousand Imperial Army to break out of the encirclement and rescue His Majesty at Tian Ming Mountain! Requesting for Your Highness Yin's permission! "
Qin Yin nodded, "En, permission granted!"
Her heart was concerned about Qin Jin's life and death and was more determined than Feng Jixing.
Lin Muyu sighed and did not say anything else. She only said, "In that case, I will lead the Eagle Nest Camp to clear the way for Brother Feng …"
"No."
Feng Jixing shook his head and said, "Yu, you can't stay in Lanyan City."
"Why?"
"You have to go to Dragon-rocky Mountain, personally command the Longdan Army Camp, and fight your way back to Lanyan City. Only then can the Longdan Army Camp be stationed in Lanyan City." Feng Jixing looked at him deeply and said, "Big Brother Feng will protect His Majesty, and you will protect Xiao Yin, okay? No matter which one of us survives, we must continue on this path. "
Lin Muyu felt a lump in her throat. She couldn't help but turn her face away and say, "Lin Muyu will obey your orders …"
Feng Jixing patted his shoulder and squeezed out an ugly smile on his bloodstained face. "We'll leave in two hours. Can you accompany Xiao Yin well during this time?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu's heart sank. She knew what Feng Jixing meant. It was easier said than done to fight their way out of the encirclement and then fight their way back. This was a path that was accompanied by death. Whether they could come back or not depended on the will of the heavens.
…
Qin Yin stood up and took Lin Muyu's hand. "Let's go take a look at Father's kitchen?"
"Yes."
The two entered the rear hall. The attendants did not follow them, but they all stayed where they were with mournful expressions. Everyone could feel that Seven Seas City and Muyu City had refused to send troops. This might be the last few days of the Empire's existence on the continent.
In the rear hall, all the kitchen utensils that Qin Jin had used were placed neatly. Qin Yin pulled Lin Muyu's hand to the window sill of the side hall. Under the window was a polished bronze mirror. Qin Yin slowly sat down and picked up a comb. She said with a smile, "Big Brother Yu, can you comb Xiao Yin's hair? In the past, it was Father who combed my hair. "
Lin Muyu felt a little bitter in her heart. She took the comb and gently removed the golden princess crown from Qin Yin's hair and placed it to the side. Instantly, Qin Yin's beautiful hair fell down. Lin Muyu gently stroked her long hair, combing it over and over again. She raised her head and looked at Qin Yin's beautiful face in the mirror. Qin Yin was also looking at her.
Qin Yin looked at the mirror and did not say a word. Tears flowed down her face.
"Don't cry. Everything will get better." Lin Muyu murmured.
Qin Yin held Lin Muyu's hand and buried her face in his chest. She cried, "No, this country has really collapsed. Just like the name of the continent, the nine cauldrons have been destroyed. There is no longer an imperial family."
Lin Muyu calmly caressed the side of Qin Yin's face and said, "Xiao Yin, don't cry. Xiao Yin, don't cry …"
Qin Yin cried even more fiercely. She turned around and hugged Lin Muyu. Her voice trembled as she said, "I don't want the empire, but I want this family. I want Father to come back. I want Brother Yu to be by my side. Why me? Why do I have to bear all of this?"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly, "Xiao Yin, it's okay. Father and I will come back."
"No …"
Qin Yin bit her red lips and tears filled her eyes, "I have been having the same dream every night. In the dream, Father told me that I must be strong and live on. I know … Father might really be gone, but I must make Feng Jixing go to Tian Ming Mountain. Brother Yu, forgive me … forgive Xiao Yin for being stubborn this time …"
"Yes, I know."
Lin Muyu's body trembled slightly. A piercing pain came from the wound on his arm. He lowered his head to look at Qin Yin and said, "Everything will be fine. Xiao Yin, wipe away your tears. I haven't finished combing your hair."
"Yes."
Qin Yin sobbed softly. She looked at herself and Lin Muyu in the mirror. It was like a big brother was dressing his little sister and waiting for her to get married. However, this scene seemed to be on the verge of shattering. This was the last time it would happen.
After combing her hair, Qin Yin coiled her own hair and inserted an exquisite golden crown. She regained some of her princess-like demeanor. She stood up and turned to look at Lin Muyu, saying, "Regardless of success or failure, you must come back alive to see me."
"Don't worry. I will."
Lin Muyu turned to look outside and said, "There's not much time left. I have to go."
"Yes."
After watching Lin Muyu walk out of the side hall, Qin Yin couldn't help but sob again. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I love you. You must come back alive to see me …"
… …
Outside the main hall, Wei Chou and Xiahou Sang led a group of Royal Guards and Royal Guards, waiting for Lin Muyu's orders. They hadn't slept the entire night, but their fighting spirit was still high.
"Commander, are we leaving?" Wei Chou asked.
Lin Muyu nodded, "Yes, but this time … I can't guarantee that I can bring you back alive."
Wei Chou smiled, "Commander, don't worry. We can come back by ourselves."
"That's good. Let's go!"
"Yes!"
On the northern city wall, the city wall was suffering from heavy attacks from the catapults. A large portion of the city wall had already collapsed. Zhang Wei was leading a group of people to repair it. At the same time, the streets of the city were densely packed with the Imperial Army's heavy cavalry, shieldbearers, pikemen, archers, etc. Over the past few days, more than 10,000 Imperial Army soldiers had died in battle, but Feng Jixing still managed to gather together an army of 30,000.
"Yu, you're here?" Feng Jixing carried his Wind Chopping Saber and rode his horse over with a smile. He said, "This bunch of bastard volunteers have destroyed another section of the city wall. Damn it. Heh … We are preparing to set off!"
Lin Muyu looked at the sparse guards in the city and said, "Brother Feng, leave Zhang Wei and a thousand Imperial Guards here. I'm worried that the city will really fall, and Xiao Yin will have too few people by her side …"
"Mm, alright."
Feng Jixing turned and said, "Zhang Wei, lead the brothers of the first battalion to stay and defend the city!"
Zhang Wei cupped his fists, "Yes, Commander!"
"Open the gates, attack!"
The iron gates slowly opened, and thirty thousand Imperial Guards welcomed the rain of spears and swords as they charged towards the densely packed volunteers outside the city. Facing an opponent several times their size, not a single one of them revealed a trace of fear.
… …
At this time, Qihai City.
In the depths of the Duke's Mansion, in an exquisite and elegant courtyard room, a "bang" sound was heard as a hole was punched through the door. Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful face appeared behind the hole and said, "Let me out, Grandpa, you can't do this!"
Tang Lan leaned on her walking stick and turned shakily to look at Tang Xiaoxi, saying, "Xiao Xi, why can't you understand Grandfather's painstaking efforts?"
"What painstaking efforts?"
Tang Xiaoxi said angrily, "You're obviously greedy for life and afraid of death. You're an important official of the Empire, a duke of a region, but you're afraid of death and don't dare to send troops. Hmph, I've seen through you. Grandfather is no longer the great general who followed the previous Emperor to war."
"What did you say?!"
Tang Lan was slightly angered, saying, "Don't you understand? This is a brotherly dispute between Qin Jin and Qin Yi. It's best for our Qihai City not to get involved. Besides … Qin Jin's godson, Lin Muyu, killed your older brother, Tang Bin. I will never forget this grudge. You should also remember that Lin Muyu is an enemy of the Tang family. We shouldn't save him!"
"He killed my cousin in order to save me. How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?" Tang Xiaoxi looked at him with teary eyes and said, "Grandfather, I don't care about your concealing techniques. Xiao Xi only knows that Xiao Yin and Mu are the most important people to me. I can't lose them. If Grandfather doesn't save them, Xiao Xi will go myself!"
"You're crazy, Xiao Xi!" A middle-aged man berated, "Is this how you talk to your grandfather?"
"Hmph, Second Uncle, you're just a coward who's afraid of death."
Tang Xiaoxi suddenly laughed and said while crying, "The Imperial Capital is surrounded. The Imperial Guards and the Flying Mount Battalion are fighting to the death. They only have tens of thousands of people. Our Qihai City has close to 200,000 soldiers, but we're just watching from the sidelines. Hehe … Is Qihai City still a city of the Qin Empire? If you guys aren't going, I, Tang Xiaoxi, will go alone. "
Tang Lan shouted, "Xiao Xi, are you crazy?!"
However, at this moment, flames suddenly rose from the small house. Tang Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and spread out nine dancing flame tails behind her. She said, "You guys can't trap me."
Boom!
The Soul Suppressing Seal soared into the sky and destroyed the house. Tang Xiaoxi leaped up and lay on the roof like a beautiful little fox. With a leap, she disappeared from Tang Lan's sight.
…
"Heavens, this crazy girl!"
Tang Lan gritted her teeth. "Send someone to find Xiao Xi immediately. We must bring her back!"
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man said, "But Father, the envoy from Yihe Nation is still waiting in the living room. What should we do?"
Tang Lan said indifferently, "Let him go. Tell him to tell Qin Yi that there will be a war between Qihai Province and Yihe Nation. Tell Qin Yi to wash his neck and wait for Qihai City's butcher knife! Oh yes, that person … Have you found him? "
"Yes, he has been arranged to stay in the posthouse in the city."
"It's a secret for now. Treat him well and don't neglect him. He's a rare exceptional general!"
"Yes, don't worry, Father!"
