Both of them had their own thoughts, Duanmu Anguo wanted to make use of Zong Sui to cause Dashun to not have peace, while he himself would benefit from it. And Li Jian wanted to make use of the two things in Duanmu Anguo's hands, including the Free and Unfettered Blissful Powder, to allow Zong Sui to reach a new height in the past few hundred years on this mainland.
Duanmu Anguo even told Li Jian: "This time, the order for Dashun to lead the troops to the East is actually not the god of war, the Ninth Prince, but that deity-like Seventh Prince, to our Zong Sui, this is a good thing! If the Ninth Prince came, even if we used the Free and Unfettered Blissful Powder, This Old Official really does not dare to guarantee that the Ninth Prince would not start a massacre on large amounts of flesh and blood. But since the person who came is the Seventh Prince, then the effects of our Free and Unfettered Blissful Powder can be maximized. "
Li Jian thought for a while, nodding and saying: "I heard that the Seventh Prince of Dashun is a deity-like person, he is sentimental about the world and has a benevolent heart. He is not as vicious as the Ninth Prince, he will most likely be merciful when doing things. "
Duanmu Anguo nodded, "Your Majesty is right, so, when large amounts of living beings charge towards his troops without caring about their own lives, This Old Official dares to guarantee that the Seventh Prince will definitely be merciful. As long as we can cut them out, and if we can feed the citizens in the city to the Free and Unfettered Blissful Powder, then the Seventh Prince can even retreat without fighting. "
Duanmu Anguo described an especially ideal battle scene to Li Jian, Li Jian even started to look forward to Dashun retreating, Zong Sui attacking step by step, finally replacing Dashun on this mainland. It was not that he was too easily incited by outsiders, it was that the victory item that Duanmu Anguo showed him was too shocking. If it was the Free and Unfettered Blissful Powder, Li Jian would not be too agitated, but that kind of thing earlier was too shocking. He was willing to risk it all for that thing, as long as he had that thing in his hands, even if Zong Sui did not necessarily win against Dashun, they would not necessarily lose.
The two looked at each other and smiled. It was as though they had already won. Li Jian invited Duan Mu An Guo to stay in the palace to eat dinner together. He also ordered for the four beauties that Duan Mu An Guo had sent into the palace to accompany him. During the banquet, he promised the four beauties that he would dote on them for the next four nights. In the eyes of the bystanders, the four of them looked like they were going to replace the new Noble Lady Fang. However, he did not know that Li Jian doing this was just to give Duan Mu An Guo some face.
As for Duan Mu An Guo, he appeared to be very happy that Li Jian favored these four beauties, but he was laughing internally. He was laughing at Li Jian for not being able to see that these four were just placed on the surface for others to see. The spies that he had truly deployed could not be exposed like this. He wanted to ensure that there would be someone who could assassinate the new Zong Sui ruler at any time by his pillow. He also wanted to have his, Duan Mu An Guo's, grandson among the heirs of the Zong Sui imperial family. Maybe there would be a day when the world of Zong Sui would be inherited by the bloodline of his Duan Mu family. Even though it was impossible for him to see that day with his age, as long as there was this hope, even thinking about it, he felt very satisfied!
In the military camp outside Bin City, the hidden guard that Xuan Tianhua sent out to follow the woman who came to deliver the message finally returned, but he brought back a piece of news that made one feel very helpless: "That woman seemed to have sensed something and kept making detours along the way. In the end, she entered Zong Sui's capital and disappeared after that. This Subordinate is useless and was unable to track down where she went. Your Highness the Seventh Prince, please punish me. "
Xuan Tianhua waved his hand. Hidden guards had always been responsible in their work. If it was said that the hidden guard was unable to track her, then the other party must have made complete preparations. Why would he punish the hidden guard for? It was just that that woman actually entered Zong Sui's capital, then, who exactly was she?
The army had already camped outside the city for many days, but they were cautious and did not launch an attack. Xuan Tianhua was not the kind of person who could fire the first shot. Moreover, there were reports from spies that the citizens of Bin City were densely distributed, and after Zong Sui announced the war, no one was willing to abandon their homes and leave. The loyalty of the people to their country was very high. They firmly believed that Zong Sui would not lose. Even if they lost, even if they died, they would die in their own homes. If Dashun suddenly launched an attack in this kind of situation, once the city was breached, there would definitely be a large number of casualties. No matter how careful they were, it was basically no different from massacring the entire city.
Xuan Tianhua definitely did not want to see the scene of the city being massacred. He was waiting, waiting for Zong Sui to successfully persuade the citizens to leave. Once the citizens left the city, he would quickly occupy Bin City at all costs. His army needed a city to be their base, and not these simple tents set up outside the city.
On the road from Dashun's capital to Fuzhou, Feng Yu Heng's carriage sped along. The one driving the carriage was Huang Quan, while Wang Chuan sat in the carriage with Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng was half lying down at this moment, her eyes slightly closed and she was about to fall asleep. She told Wang Chuan: "I do not need anyone to wait on me. You need to sleep, you need to conserve your energy. This way, you can take turns driving the carriage with Huang Quan. We need to rush through the night and basically do not have any rest. Even if you do not sleep now, you cannot stay awake forever. "
Wang Chuan knew that Feng Yu Heng's words made sense, but he was still a little worried: "Young Miss, we met three robbers along the way. Even though they all looked like normal robbers, we still cannot let our guard down. If there are people from Zong Sui or people from Duanmu Anguo mixed in, danger will occur at any time. "
"If there is danger, we will face it together and not let you drag your tired bodies to fight on your own." She tugged at Wang Chuan's arm, "Sleep! Conserve your energy and strength. This way, when danger arrives, you can face it in your best condition. "
Wang Chuan was moved by her words and could only sleep. Who knew that when he finally laid down, Feng Yu Heng could not sleep. She blinked and asked Wang Chuan: "Do you have anyone you like? Huang Quan likes Ban Zou, then what about you? Who do you like? "
Wang Chuan was stunned, then shook his head, "This Servant does not have anyone I like. This Servant's life belongs to Master. In my heart, there is only the Master that I serve, and there is no room for anything else."
"You still need to think for yourself." She used her own theory to teach Wang Chuan: "Everyone does not live for the sake of others. You are all independent individuals and can serve me, but you do not need to dedicate your entire lives to me, and you do not need to sacrifice your own lives. I have said it before, if you encounter danger, you should protect me as much as you can. If you cannot protect me, you must protect yourself first. Exchanging a life for a life sounds very grand, but I have never agreed to it. Wang Chuan, if you have someone you like in the future, just tell me and I will support you. How about it? "
This was not the first time that Wang Chuan had heard Feng Yu Heng say this kind of theory. Although he could not accept it no matter what, his heart was still moved. She nodded and did not say anything else. Her body shrunk into the blankets and she quietly said: "Young miss, quickly go to sleep!" However, she could not fall asleep no matter what. Feng Yu Heng's question circled around in her mind. As it circled around, Bai Ze's face appeared.
Bai Ze was the first person she met after she was thrown into Xuan Tianming's hidden guard training camp. Her mind was filled with memories of training with Bai Ze day and night. Bai Ze had arrived earlier than her and was the last person at Xuan Tianming's side. His martial arts were also much better than hers. Although she was good at qinggong, she was still a bit lacking when it came to weapons. Many times, she had been injured because she could not defeat her opponent. During those years, Bai Ze had helped her a lot. He had also helped her practice one new set of swordsmanship after another when everyone else was resting.
Hidden guards were not allowed to have feelings. On this point, she was better than Huang Quan. Over ten years, she had always maintained a cold expression. She never smiled to anyone, but when she saw Bai Ze, she would always treat him warmly. Unfortunately … unfortunately, Bai Ze already had Bai Fu Rong at his side. She could not afford to think about it in the slightest. She hid this matter in her heart and never mentioned it to anyone.
Wang Chuan turned around and laughed at herself, but she felt a little happy inside. Actually, they were really very lucky. No matter if it was her and Huang Quan, or Bai Ze and Ban Zou, they were all very lucky. They followed masters like Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming. Even if they went against their principles and developed feelings for someone, their masters did not abandon them or get rid of them directly. Instead, they gave them their greatest blessings and even helped them. In this life, to be able to follow this kind of master, even if she did not marry for the rest of her life, she would be happy.
Zong Sui, General Chunyu's manor
The news of Bu Cong's death was sent back to the capital. Along with it, there was also the news of Chunyu Ling's death.
This was what Chunyu Ling asked Feng Yu Heng to do for her. She hoped that General Chunyu's manor would receive the news of her death in Dashun. Only like this, could she escape to a faraway place and stay in the South without any worries, accompanying Yao shi's grave.
And Feng Yu Heng did not let her down. The news of Chunyu Ling and her husband Bu Cong dying in Dashun was successfully sent back to General Chunyu's manor. It was just that once this news was sent out, it caused that old General Chunyu to immediately place her on the top of his list of enemies.
Chunyu Ling was the daughter of the first wife of the old general Chunyu An and was the apple of his eye. When Bu Cong suggested going to Dashun with that Sixth Princess Li Yue, he did not think highly of it, not to mention that his daughter Chunyu Ling insisted on going as well. He had tried his best to stop it, but the new Emperor Li Jian had already agreed to Bu Cong's request and he could not stop it. And his own daughter appeared to be reluctant to part with her husband. Helpless, he could only agree to the two of them travelling together.
Bu Cong had once promised in front of him that he would protect Chunyu Ling's safety with his life. But he did not expect that he could not even protect himself and even caused Chunyu Ling to die together with him. This kind of blow to the old general Chunyu An was almost fatal.
The sudden news of the death caused General Chunyu's manor to fall into a state of mourning. The old general Chunyu An could not take the blow and fell ill in an instant. The big and small matters in the family were all handled by his wife Ma shi.
But Chunyu Ling was also Ma shi's biological daughter! Ma shi was almost crying as she took care of the funeral. Only when the mourning hall was set up and Chunyu Ling's memorial tablet was placed on it, even the coffin with the clothes inside was placed in the middle of the mourning hall, did she finally could not take it anymore, suddenly pouncing onto that coffin and bawling loudly.
The Eldest Young Miss and son-in-law of the General's manor were both dead, even their corpses could not be retrieved. This matter spread very quickly in Zong Sui's capital. When Duanmu Anguo heard this news, he could not believe it. Bu Cong died? How was this possible! The Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince were both not in the capital, who did Bu Cong die in? Could it be … … Feng Yu Heng?
Duanmu Anguo thought of the heavenly lightning and firearms that Dashun used to attack Gu Shu in the legends and could not help but laugh coldly, "Heavenly lightning and firearms? Very good, This Old Man wants to see these things in your hands! This battle, quickly begin! "
