When night fell, Xuan Tianming's army also arrived at the place where they set up camp. The news that Xuan Tianhua sent over made the two of them both happy and worried. They were happy that Xuan Tianhua was still alive, and he had already successfully escaped from his predicament. They were worried that Xuan Tianhua did not return to camp, but chose to go to Tong City alone to take the risk. This made Xuan Tianming and his wife unable to relax.
The two of them did not stay in the camp for even a moment, directly instructing Qian Li to lead the army to set up camp, while they rode quickly, following the hidden guards to rendezvous with Xuan Tianhua.
When they arrived, they saw a strange phenomenon. Those Zong Sui soldiers who were originally defending the defensive line were retreating quickly and orderly, the direction of their retreat was not to return to Tong City, but to gradually disperse in the other three directions.
Feng Yu Heng did not understand, "Are they going to surround our main camp? But there are too few people, they are simply looking down on us! "
Xuan Tianming was not as optimistic as her, watching the process of those Zong Sui soldiers retreating, he said worriedly: "Why does it feel like even though it is orderly, it is also slightly panicked? It seems like they are very anxious, like if they do not retreat now, it will be too late for something. " As he spoke, he carefully reached out and pointed in a direction, "Look over there, there is a soldier who lost his shoe, but he does not dare to turn back to pick it up, still moving forward hurriedly. This is not a simple retreat, but … … fleeing for their lives? "
This was the conclusion that Xuan Tianming gave, but they still did not understand, why did the people of Zong Sui want to flee for their lives?
Feng Yu Heng thought for a moment, then suggested: "Those people seem to be conversing with each other, Tian Tai Dao cannot see their lips clearly, why don't I sneak over to listen to what they are saying." She was not asking, but stating her own decision. Right now was not a good time to consider, the things that needed to be done had to be decided immediately, otherwise, the other party would have gone far away.
Xuan Tianming could not stop her and only had time to say: "Be careful." Then he saw his wife move forward a few times symbolically, then her figure disappeared, disappearing.
Xuan Tianhua's secret guard was speechless. He couldn't help but praise, "Royal Consort Yu, you're really good." However, she didn't know that it wasn't because she was good at body movement. She clearly had a cheating weapon in her hand. And Feng Yu Heng's worst skill was Qinggong.
It was easy for Feng Yu Heng to sneak to the enemy's side. Even if the enemy was still retreating, she could still follow them steadily. But Feng Yu Heng never thought that the news she heard would make her so shocked that she even forgot to enter the space, so she was exposed in front of the enemy.
"Quick! Just a little faster! Dashun's seventh prince had already stepped on a mine. If he moved, it was very likely that the entire minefield would explode. Those grenades were used to bomb the Dashun people. We can't throw our lives away as well. Hurry up and leave! The Dashun people will receive the news very quickly and come to save them. If we don't hurry up, it will be too late. "
The word "lightning" caused Feng Yu Heng's mind to explode. She practically believed that she had misheard, but the other side had mentioned lightning time and time again, which allowed her to confirm what she had heard without a doubt. But … … how could Zong Sui have lightning?
The shock in her heart had already reached its peak and she even forgot to enter the space, exposing herself in front of the enemy's eyes.
The Zong Sui soldiers were also stunned. They did not know why a woman suddenly appeared in front of them, appearing in front of them like a ghost. There was no process of her coming, she appeared out of thin air.
But they were Duanmu Anguo's personal guards in the end. Over these years, towards the Xuan Tianming couple who Duanmu Anguo saw as his number one enemy, even if they didn't remember them by looking at the portrait every day, it wasn't too far off. In short, while the people were shocked, they also immediately reacted to this woman's identity, so someone shouted loudly: "It's Dashun's Princess Ji An!"
Following this sentence, too many people rushed towards Feng Yu Heng and surrounded her. Weapons were drawn and swords were slashed towards Feng Yu Heng without any hesitation.
The situation on Feng Yu Heng's side was seen clearly by Xuan Tianming. Seeing that his wife was exposed now, how could he still hide, immediately bringing his hidden guards to join the battle.
But Feng Yu Heng panicked when she saw them coming, rushing to Xuan Tianming's side in a few dodges, saying loudly: "Go back quickly! The enemy has set a bait to lure our army towards the border of Tong City. Qian Li might fall for it, quickly go back and stop him! "
Xuan Tianming didn't understand, "What kind of bait would lure Qian Li to not listen to I's advice and send out his own troops?" He shook his head, "Damn girl, if you have any plans, just say it. Don't try to find an excuse to send I away." As he spoke, he twisted the whip in his hand, taking away the weapons of nearly ten enemy soldiers who were rushing towards the two of them. Those who were unwilling to throw down the weapons in their hands felt their arms tighten, as if someone had grabbed their arms and twisted them forcefully. In the blink of an eye, one of their arms was twisted off, causing them to roll on the ground in pain. "Seeking death!" Xuan Tianming became fierce, protecting Feng Yu Heng while taking the initiative to attack.
Although Dashun's Ninth Prince's qinggong wasn't as good as the Seventh Prince's, his moves were much better than the Seventh Prince's. A soft whip was used by him, only the sound of the whip could be heard, but no shadow could be seen. The enemy wanted to dodge, but because they couldn't distinguish the direction of the whip, their flesh was split open.
"Since you're afraid that Qian Li will send out his troops, then you go back and report. I will hold the fort here." He waved the whip while saying to Feng Yu Heng, "I said before, a woman should stand behind a man. I can't always leave you in a dangerous place." After saying that, he saw that Feng Yu Heng was about to speak again, so he quickly stopped her, "Don't always use your space as an excuse. Even if you have strange moves, there are some things that a woman shouldn't take the lead for." In front of the enemy, he still had the mind to spare a hand to rub Feng Yu Heng's head, "Be good, be obedient. Either we get rid of these people together, or you go back and inform Qian Li to hold back his troops. "
Feng Yu Heng didn't know what to do, and Xuan Tianming had made up his mind not to leave. What should she do? She looked back in the direction of the camp, but there was still no movement there. It was five li away, and they still had to organize the troops. Even if they wanted to come, they wouldn't be able to arrive in a short time, right? She calculated that the army wasn't in a hurry, but Xuan Tianhua's side couldn't wait. Entering a minefield was a matter of life and death. Xuan Tianhua didn't have a certain level of understanding of landmines like her. If he moved carelessly …
She almost didn't dare to think too much. She glanced at Xuan Tianming and silently said in her heart: Husband, I'm sorry, I have to lie to you once.
"Okay." Feng Yu Heng finally nodded, "Then you hold this side. I'll go back to the camp to take a look." She looked again at the black mass of enemy troops, and her heart was still worried, "Don't fight recklessly. When it's time to retreat, I'll wait for you at the camp."
"Let's go! I'll protect you. " Xuan Tianming didn't say much. He hugged his little wife tightly in his arms and retreated in the direction of the camp while fighting. It wasn't until all the enemies were gathered in front of him that he let go of his arms and shouted, "Let's go!"
Feng Yu Heng looked at him deeply and silently retreated until her small body was completely blocked by Xuan Tianming's tall back. Then, her figure disappeared and she directly entered the space.
Seeing her enter the space, Xuan Tianming was completely relieved. The corners of his lips curled up, and with a swing of his whip, he took the lives of two more enemy troops.
However, Xuan Tianming didn't know that his little wife didn't intend to return to the camp at all. For Feng Yu Heng, the shocking news she just heard was the most important thing, because she knew too well the damage that the so-called "lightning" could bring to the land and the people around it. However, she didn't dare to tell Xuan Tianming the truth. She was afraid that if Xuan Tianming knew that there was a minefield outside Tong City, he wouldn't allow her to take a step closer. But if she didn't go, what would happen to Seventh Brother? No matter how powerful Xuan Tianming was, it was limited to this era where ancient martial arts were respected. In the face of powerful high-tech weapons of the later generations, the difference in strength between ancient martial arts was too great. There was no way for him to survive.
Therefore, it was useless for Xuan Tianming to go. Not only would it be useless, but he might also be affected by the large-scale explosion of the minefield. The only thing left was for her to go. Only she could borrow the power of space to save Xuan Tian Hua from a minefield.
Feng Yu Heng left Xuan Tianming's side and ran in the opposite direction in the space. After a few times of disappearing and disappearing, she finally left the fighting area. In the boundless darkness of the night, her small body began to display the greatest potential of her Qing Gong, which she didn't know much about, and quickly ran towards the west gate of Tong City.
Xuan Tianhua, who clearly felt that he had stepped on something, was quietly standing in the middle of the minefield. The small path under his feet was no longer safe. In the end, he still couldn't completely understand the rules of this small path. Looking back, he was already a certain distance away from the five li border. He needed excellent vision and the moonlight to clearly see the situation on the other side of the border.
Xuan Tianhua didn't know what he had stepped on, but the moment he stepped on it, he felt that something was wrong. He originally thought that this five li area should be some kind of powerful mechanism, but in that instant, he suddenly thought of something.
Thinking back to when Dashun fought against Gu Shu, in the battle of the desert, the Dashun army used a mysterious weapon for the first time, lightning. He had seen Feng Yu Heng teach the soldiers of the Divine Arms Battalion how to use lightning, and he had personally seen Xi Fang lead the soldiers of the Divination Unit to bury round landmines under the desert of Gu Shu. He still remembered Feng Yu Heng giggling as she said to him, "Seventh Brother, do you see the empty space where the landmines are buried?" As long as someone entered, as long as someone stepped on a landmine buried in the ground, the landmine would explode with a bang, causing all the landmines in the surrounding area to explode as well. With that kind of power, not to mention a body of flesh and blood, even the tall and sturdy city walls would explode without a doubt.
Although he knew that only Feng Yu Heng could bring out something like a landmine, for some reason, Xuan Tianhua felt that the thing he was stepping on was one of those landmines.
He lowered his head to look. In the boundless night, he could vaguely see the traces of soil being turned over on the gray ground, but he couldn't see through the surface to see what was below. He didn't dare to move, but he wasn't afraid either. He just thought about how he had divined death twice, and now that his death divination was about to come true, the only thing on his mind was still that carefree, calm, and stubborn little girl of the past.
A landmine? He smiled faintly. If he detonated this landmine alone, it would be much better than Dashun's troops crushing it and causing countless casualties. If he could open up a path to Tong City for Dashun with his own strength, it would be worth it.
With a thought, he didn't want to wait any longer. Just as he was about to lightly move his foot with the strange object on it, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream from behind him, "Seventh Brother!"
