In the northern suburbs of the capital, a chaotic battle caused sand and rocks to fly everywhere. Feng Yu Heng was about to curse out loud.
"F * ck! What did these people eat to grow up?? "She angrily said after taking down an enemy with a military knife," How are they so strong? "
It was not Feng Yu Heng's fault for cursing. Duanmu Qing's team had many people, but more importantly, these people's fighting abilities were very strong. Their physical strength and sword techniques were perfectly combined. It was to the point that if she wanted to take down one of them, it would take her at least ten rounds.
The military knife in her hand was the one she had used to break Zong Sui's iron essence at the palace banquet on the first day of the New Year. With this weapon in hand, she was able to slow down the enemy's momentum. However, in the end, it was only slowing down. The enemy had many people, while they had few people. Xuan Tianhua and Ban Zou had no problem fighting against ten people each. She had a steel weapon that could occasionally shoot out a few tranquilizers, allowing her to hold her own. However, Wang Chuan, who was skilled in qinggong, was at a disadvantage. Huang Quan's martial arts were also inferior to Xuan Tianhua and Ban Zou's. The two of them gradually became more and more strenuous. In the end, when the enemy chopped down with a blade, Huang Quan was sent flying to the ground.
Xuan Tian Hua pulled her in a timely manner, pulling her to his side. Only then did he save Huang Quan's life.
Feng Yu Heng knew that this could not continue. She fought while retreating to Xuan Tianhua's side. She heard Xuan Tianhua say: "Heng Heng, think of a way to escape. Find a place to hide!"
She became anxious — — "Only cowards hide!"
Xuan Tianhua angrily gritted his teeth: "Find a place to hide. Ming will definitely send people to pick us up."
Feng Yu Heng also gritted her teeth, "Then let's wait for reinforcements together. I don't believe that a mere Duanmu Qing can keep all of us here." As she spoke, she moved to Huang Quan's side. She found an opening and snatched the weapon from Huang Quan's hand. Without even thinking, she threw it away. Then, she shoved the military knife in her hand into Huang Quan's hand: "Use this!"
Huang Quan wanted to refuse, but the current situation did not allow her to think too much. The enemies came one after another, and she was overwhelmed.
With the steel saber in hand, she no longer had to dodge the incoming swords and sabers. She directly faced the enemy's weapons head-on. Cutting iron like mud, not only did she split the enemy's sword in half, but she also used the momentum to slash at the enemy's forehead. Before that person could recover from the shock of the broken weapon, his vision was covered by a layer of fog, and there was no more sound.
Feng Yu Heng had no weapon, but she took out a lot of anesthetic needles and a needle gun from her space. She simply stood there and raised her hand to shoot. She finally realized that this group of enemies was simply too ferocious, too strong, and all of them were as strong as bulls. If she continued to fight with them with her small body, she would definitely die of exhaustion. Fortunately, the four people at her side were protecting her, and the enemies could not get close. This gave her enough shooting range.
She stood there and repeatedly raised her hand, as people fell all around her. Xuan Tianhua, who had been quite worried when he saw her give her weapon to Huang Quan, finally calmed down. Letting out a long sigh, he moved closer to her side and said: "These people were brought by Duan Mu Qing from the North, but he definitely did not bring this many when he came. The majority of them were hidden in the northern suburbs of the capital. The people of the North eat raw meat from a young age, and most of it is beef. Their bodies are much stronger than the people of the central plains, and they are much more powerful. That's why we find it very difficult to fight against them. This is also the reason why Dashun has not sent troops against Qian Zhou yet. "
This was something that Feng Yu Heng had expected. Especially after today's battle, she felt that if they wanted to move against Qian Zhou, they would need to wait until the new steel weapons were made. She thought to herself that once this matter was resolved, she would need to quickly return to the military camp.
Thinking like this, her subordinates became a little frantic. She even pulled out four tranquilizer guns. Holding two in each hand, she began to shoot. Xuan Tianhua could see that she was frantic and quickly advised her: "Stay calm. Don't panic."
She nodded but said: "I just pray that Xuan Tianming will send people to support us. He must not come himself. Duan Mu Qing planned to ambush us. I do not believe that the capital will remain peaceful. Right now, protecting the capital and the imperial palace is the most important. Only by protecting them can our battle have any meaning! "
Another few enemies were knocked down by her tranquilizer guns. Gradually, the enemy began to feel a little afraid. After all, they did not fear a real fight. They had many people, and they could tire out Feng Yu Heng's side. But nobody thought that Feng Yu Heng would have such a powerful hidden weapon. It could not be seen, and it could not be dodged. As long as it came in contact with the weapon, it would immediately kill.
In reality, they did not know that it was a tranquilizer and thought that the people were already dead. Thus, they crazily stepped on the corpses of their comrades and charged forward again. This resulted in more than half of the people who were tranquilized being trampled to death by their own people.
Duan Mu Qing was not stupid. Seeing that they could not continue like this, he simply shouted: "Retreat!"
When the people from the North heard this order, they immediately gave up on attacking. They all began to retreat without any hesitation.
Immediately following this, they heard Duan Mu Qing shout: "Archers, get ready!"
Suddenly, in the forest around the battlefield, many archers appeared out of nowhere. They all stood up, nocked their arrows, and pulled back their bowstrings. The tips of the arrows were all aimed at the five of them.
Wang Chuan stood close to Ban Zou. Her face was a little pale. She subconsciously stood in front of Feng Yu Heng, wanting to block her. However, when she stood in front, she found that there were archers behind her as well. There were archers on both sides. She could not block them from all sides, so she pulled Huang Quan and Ban Zou to block them together. However, they were still missing a corner.
Xuan Tianhua looked at the stubborn girl standing in the middle. He did not say anything, but he automatically filled in the empty spot. Like this, the four people surrounded Feng Yu Heng. Ban Zou said: "Even if we become porcupines, we'll be the ones to die first."
It would be a lie to say that she was not moved, but Feng Yu Heng had never been a delicate person. In front of a powerful enemy, she did not have the heart to make chicken soup for the soul. The fearlessness that she had trained in the army allowed her to calmly raise her head high.
She was not afraid at all. At worst, she would just have the four of them hold hands and she would grab one of them. Everyone would hide in her space. Although there was no guarantee that they would appear in front of the enemy when they came out, that was not a big deal. They could choose not to come out. Either way, there was food, water, and a bed in her space. She would not be able to finish eating, and she would not be able to finish using them. She could just waste time with these people from the North and see who could last longer.
Feng Yu Heng had always believed in Xuan Tianming. No matter how chaotic the city was, he would naturally have a way to resolve it. The people outside the city only had one goal, and that was — — to save their lives.
She turned around and looked straight at Duan Mu Qing. Hiding in her space was her last choice. Aside from Xuan Tianming and Yao Xian, she would not reveal the secret of her space to anyone else unless she had no other choice.
At this time, Xuan Tianhua's lowered voice sounded in her ear. He only said one sentence: "To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader." Although he said this, he could not move. This was because if he moved, he would attract the attention of the archers and harm Feng Yu Heng. However, Xuan Tianhua remembered a strange matter. When Feng Yu Heng went to the Xiang Palace at night, he had followed her. This girl had suddenly disappeared behind him and then suddenly reappeared. Although he had not mentioned this matter to anyone, it was still a mystery to him. So, he held onto a glimmer of hope and asked Feng Yu Heng, "Can you do it?"
Feng Yu Heng narrowed her eyes and her lips curled into an evil smile that was very similar to Xuan Tianming's. She softly said, "I can."
Once she said this, she suddenly disappeared into thin air. There was no sign or process. It was as if she had never been here. However, Xuan Tianhua could still faintly feel her aura. Then he looked in Duan Mu Qing's direction.
The sky outside the city was dark and no one had lit a torch. The four of them had tightly surrounded Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng's disappearance was silent and the enemy did not notice it at all.
Ban Zou, Huang Quan, and Wang Chuan felt their scalps tingle. Fortunately, the three of them had been with Feng Yu Heng for a long time and were used to the strange things she did. Although they were curious, they could not beat the worry in their hearts.
The others also followed Xuan Tianhua to look in Duan Mu Qing's direction. In this moment of distraction, there seemed to be a plain-clothed figure that suddenly appeared in the straight line leading to Duan Mu Qing's location. However, it only appeared for a moment before disappearing like a ghost.
Because the Feng Clan was holding a funeral, Feng Yu Heng had been wearing a white dress the entire time. The pure white material was very abrupt in this kind of night. That sudden appearance was seen by many people. Some people even cried out with uncertainty, "What was that?"
However, when people looked carefully, they could not see any trace of the figure.
The people who saw it felt their hair stand on end. The people who did not see it did not know what they were shouting about. For a moment, the enemy was in chaos.
However, this chaos was quickly suppressed by Duan Mu Qing. They heard him shout, "Silence!" All of the voices stopped.
A person who looked like a general said to him, "Vice commander, there really seemed to be a white figure that flashed in front of us. It was a human figure."
Duan Mu Qing furrowed his brows and looked over, but he could not see anything out of the ordinary. He had not noticed the white figure earlier. He had been looking at his archers to see if there were any blind spots. This was because he had heard that county princess Ji An was not only good at martial arts, but her archery skills were also exquisite. People with exquisite archery skills could easily see the flaws in the enemy's arrow formation. They could also use these flaws to escape. Moreover, the enemy was not only Feng Yu Heng. There was also the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, who he was also wary of. Including that hidden guard, none of them were easy to deal with.
It was because of this distraction that he did not notice the white figure. However, with so many people saying that they had seen it, he could not help but take it to heart. Thus, he changed his hand gesture and the archers lowered their bows a bit. It looked like they were about to shoot.
It was at this moment that his eyes suddenly lit up. The originally dark night suddenly turned completely white. This kind of white suddenly appeared in front of his eyes without any warning.
He unconsciously wanted to reach out to grab it, but before he could raise his hand, he felt a chill on his neck. A pair of cold little hands were like a pair of iron pincers.
Duan Mu Qing was completely dumbfounded. He almost reflexively squeezed out a word from his throat with extreme fear and confusion — — "Ghost!"
