Early in the morning, the lazy rays of the sun shone on the clean bedsheets. Lin Muyu slowly woke up from her dreams. She had slept soundly that night. After fighting with the Demon Race for almost a year, Lin Muyu had been constantly on the move and rarely had a chance to rest. She had never had the chance to have a good sleep like this.
"Dong dong …"
A guard's voice came from outside, "Chief Attendant, Commander Feng Jixing of Yunzhong Marquis requests an audience."
"Yes, I understand. Let him in."
"Yes!"
He hurriedly got up, put on a dark blue imperial uniform, and washed his face with water. While he was brushing his teeth, Feng Jixing had already pushed open the door and entered. Seeing the mountain of files on the Chief Attendant's desk, Feng Jixing couldn't help but laugh, "Sigh … Our Yu is fighting outside and dealing with these trivial matters inside. It's too tiring."
Lin Muyu asked while brushing his teeth, "Big Brother Feng must have something important to talk to me about so early in the morning, right?"
"Yes, let's talk after you're done washing up."
"Okay."
After washing up, he put on the white Royal Forest armor and tucked the helmet under his armpit, smiling, "Okay, you can talk now."
"I'll bring you to see two people."
"Oh? Who? "
"You'll know when we get there."
"Okay!"
They didn't even have the time to eat breakfast. The two young marquises of the empire rode their horses straight to Tongtian Street under the morning sun, all the way to the residence where the imperial army camp was located. Feng Jixing led him straight in, and a group of imperial soldiers respectfully knelt on one knee. "Greetings, Commander Feng, Commander Yu!"
In the depths of the compound, a group of Imperial Army soldiers stood guard, led by Zhang Wei himself. Beside him stood Luo Yu.
"Luo Yu?"
Lin Muyu was pleasantly surprised, "You're alright? I thought you had died under the steel wall … "
Luo Yu smiled and cupped his fists, "Thanks to Commander's blessings, this subordinate didn't die and even brought back two very important people of the demon race."
"Oh?"
"Go in, they're inside."
"Alright."
Feng Jixing pushed open the door and walked in with Lin Muyu. Under the sunlight, the two girls with their hands tied were sitting side by side on a chair. They looked up at the two people who had just walked in, and their purple eyes were filled with panic and anger. Their mouths were stuffed with cloth, and they couldn't speak. They looked like they were in great pain.
"These two people … are demons?" Lin Muyu was stunned. She could already feel the power of the demon race from these two girls.
"Yes."
Feng Jixing nodded and said, "When the steel wall was about to break, I knew that we couldn't hold on for much longer, so I sent Luo Yu to lead three thousand cavalrymen on a naval warship to take a roundabout route to the rear of the Demon Race to ambush their provisions camp. I didn't think that there would be such an unexpected harvest. These two are the daughters of the Demon Race's Demon Emperor, Eldest Princess Feng Jing 'er and Little Princess Feng Ning' er. What do you think? Royal members of the Demon Race aren't bad looking, right? Luo Yu took them and wandered around the Unicorn Forest for nearly half a month, and only returned to Lanyan City after learning that the Demon Race had been defeated. "
Lin Muyu's gaze swept over them, and she couldn't help but smile. Feng Jing 'er and Feng Ning' er's appearance could indeed be considered at the level of devastation, but the hostility in their eyes was slightly stronger, especially Feng Jing 'er. Her purple eyes were filled with resentment, as if she would immediately kill Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing the moment the ropes were untied.
Stepping forward, Lin Muyu reached out to pull the cloth out of the two Demon Race princesses' mouths, and was immediately greeted with a torrent of curses from Feng Jing 'er — — "You despicable humans, using such a despicable method to bring us to this place!"
"Just you wait, Father Emperor will definitely send troops to attack you, and kill all of you inferior creatures!"
"Marshal QianFeng and Marshal Lei Chong won't let you go. Just you wait and see!"
"You ugly lowly race!"
… …
At the side, Feng Ning 'er's gaze was much gentler, and she said in a small voice, "Sister, don't say anymore, they really will kill us. Did you forget how vicious they were when they killed the guards?"
"Don't argue."
Feng Jixing walked forward, one hand holding Lin Muyu's shoulder, and pointed at her handsome face as he asked, "Touch your conscience and speak, is this kind of appearance considered ugly in your Demon Race? Isn't he much more handsome than that idiot Lei Chong? "
"Incomparably ugly!" Feng Jing 'er said angrily.
Feng Ning 'er's voice became slightly softer, "Sister, actually this general … … in our God Race, his appearance is already considered first class … … He is not inferior to Marshal QianFeng … …"
Feng Jing 'er gritted her teeth, "Ning' er, how can you speak for them? Hmph, this kind of person is obviously a pretty boy. How can he be compared to a hero like Marshal QianFeng? "
Feng Jixing smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness Jing 'er, the general next to me is called Lin Muyu, the commander of the fifty thousand troops in the Longdan Army Camp of the Empire. It was also him who drowned the sixty thousand armored demons in the Wildfire Field, and defeated QianFeng and made him flee in panic. Why? Do you think he is a pretty boy and is not worthy to be compared to QianFeng?"
Feng Jing 'er was stunned, and a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes. She looked at Lin Muyu and said, "It's you … … You defeated Marshal QianFeng?"
Lin Muyu didn't deny it and said respectfully, "Lin Muyu greets Your Highness Jing 'er. Since Your Highness is now a prisoner of the Qin Empire, please control your temper. This is good for both of us."
"Don't talk about Yu like that."
Feng Jixing grinned and raised his voice, "You see, Big Brother Feng is still single. These two demon race princesses' looks and figures are also top notch. Why don't we split them? The gentle and gentle little princess Feng Ning 'er will be yours. As for me, I'll suffer a loss. This fiery and passionate Feng Jing' er, I'll take it."
Feng Jing 'er panicked, "You … … Feng Jixing, you are the commander of the army of the Human Empire. You can't do such a dirty thing. Don't … don't touch me!"
Feng Jixing put his hand on the hilt of his sword and smiled, "Your Highness, don't panic. I will be very gentle."
Lin Muyu smiled and crossed her arms in front of her chest, watching the show.
Feng Jing 'er was really panicking. Tears swirled in her eyes. Growing up in the capital of the Demon Clan, she had never seen such a scene. Moreover, it seemed that Feng Jixing was very serious.
Feng Ning 'er, on the other hand, was much calmer. Her beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist as she mumbled, "Sister, she … she already has someone she likes. Four years ago, she was engaged to Marshal Qian Feng. Don't … don't force her. If that's the case … let me, Feng Ning' er, marry this Commander Lin Muyu. Don't make things difficult for sister …"
Lin Muyu touched his nose, "What a righteous Feng Ning 'er … …"
Feng Ning 'er looked up at him and said, "Commander Yu, as long as you don't mind, Ning' er is willing to do anything for you. But sister, she … … please let her go. Let her be with the person she loves. If Marshal QianFeng loses her, he will be in so much pain that he will want to die."
Lin Muyu said, "If QianFeng kills himself because of losing Feng Jing 'er, it will be the fortune of the Empire and the Human Race."
Feng Jixing laughed and didn't comment.
Seeing Feng Ning 'er's tears fall like rain, Lin Muyu couldn't bear to see her kneeling on the ground, "Your Highness Ning' er, don't cry. Big Brother Feng and I are human generals. We are not demons. We won't kill the innocent outside of war. We invited you and Your Highness Ning 'er here as a bargaining chip. Please understand."
Feng Jixing also became serious, "Your Highnesses, Feng Jixing is not the kind of person to take advantage of others. I only said those words to remind you to control your temper. Although you are the princesses of the Demon Race, the Empire has declared war on the Demon Race. The princesses of the enemy country can only be hostages and no longer have any special rights. I hope you understand."
"I understand."
Feng Ning 'er's tears rolled down her chin, "You … … what does the Qin Empire want to use me and sister for?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Feng Jixing thought for a moment and said, "But I think … … Your Highnesses are the apple of the Demon King's eye. There shouldn't be a problem if we use you two in exchange for Lingdong Province."
Feng Ning 'er started, "You want to threaten Father?"
"What's wrong with that?" Feng Jixing's eyes were cold as he pressed his hand on the hilt of his blade, "Don't forget, your father wants to destroy us humans. If such a strong enemy was in front of me, I wouldn't hesitate to cut off his head."
"You!" Feng Ning 'er was furious and looked like she was about to explode again.
Feng Ning 'er hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, don't say anymore!"
As she spoke, Feng Ning 'er looked up at Lin Muyu, "Commander Yu, you and General Feng are both famed generals of the Empire. I hope you can keep your promise and treat me and sister with respect."
"Don't worry."
Lin Muyu said lightly, "If you stay in Lanyan City, no one will do anything to you. Your Highnesses, eat well and live well. Just wait for our news."
"Thank you, Commander Yu."
"Mm." Lin Muyu nodded and looked at Feng Jixing, saying, "Brother Feng, come with me."
"Okay!"
Outside the door, Lin Muyu frowned and said, "These two people are hot potatoes. The Demon King must be very worried. If there are no accidents, he will send peerless masters to Lanyan City to rescue them. He might even come in person. The Demon King … … this name sounds very powerful. Lanyan City has a population of millions. It's easy for spies to sneak in. If someone really wants to rescue Feng Ning 'er and Feng Jing' er, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them."
"I know."
Feng Jixing smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Yu. We will send people to negotiate with the Demon King as soon as possible. We will discuss the bargaining chips and conditions."
"Moreover, it's useless to change back to Lingdong Province."
Lin Muyu said worriedly, "After all, Lingdong Province is barren. Without the protection of steel walls and paddy rivers, the Demon King can easily take it back. Even if we take back Lingdong Province now, it's just a piece of chicken ribs."
"Well, we'll talk about this in the afternoon at the meeting of Ze Tian Palace."
"Okay!"
