Fu Ya had been captured by Duan Mu An Guo but was not killed. In the end, Feng Yu Heng had already guessed what would happen, but she never thought that it would happen so quickly.
With Fu Ya, who looked so similar to her, if Duan Mu An Guo did not make use of her, he would be an idiot. In regards to Fu Ya's matter, Feng Yu Heng had always believed that it was a failure in the plan. It was also where she felt that she had wronged that family.
Unfortunately, with things as they were, she did not have the ability to take care of the Fu family back then. Even now, there was nothing she could do. She just hoped that Duan Mu An Guo felt that the family was still useful to him. Like this, she could buy some time to rescue them.
At this moment, Feng Yu Heng and Ban Zou were riding their horses toward Guan Zhou's South gate. She had to go over and take a look. News of her being captured had spread through the citizens of Bian An Town. It would definitely reach Qian Li's military camp. Although she did not think that Qian Li, as the Deputy General, would disregard everything and charge into the North with the army just to save her, there were soldiers from the Divine Strategy Battalion in the army. Those soldiers were handpicked by her from among the thirty thousand people. They were personally groomed and taught by her. What she feared was that the Divine Intent Army would be rash. If she had really been captured, that would be fine. Now, it was clear that Duan Mu An Guo had used a trick. If the soldiers really went to save her, they would definitely fall into Duan Mu An Guo's trap. She definitely could not allow such a thing to happen.
The two urged their horses faster and faster. In the vast snowy plains, they were like arrows that had been released from a bow as they charged South. Apparently, these two horses had been bred from Qian Zhou's stallions. Not only were they more resistant to the cold, but their physique and speed were not things that normal horses could compare to. The person selling the horses had asked for a high price, 300 taels per horse. This angered Ban Zou so much that he nearly killed him to steal the horses. Feng Yu Heng felt that she had not suffered a loss. As long as she could reach her destination quickly, she could still afford this bit of money.
Neither of the two spoke, as they continued to whip their horses. Even if this was the case, they traveled for an entire night. It was only at dawn the next day that they saw the faint outline of Guan Zhou's gates.
Feng Yu Heng reined in her horse, finally stopping for the time being. She said to Ban Zou: "I remembered something. That woman returned to the North on her own. I don't know which path she took. But I don't think it's coming from the south gate. "
Ban Zou nodded, "It's heading west."
"Do you think … something will happen?" She was a little worried. No matter what purpose Prince Lian had for approaching her, at least he hadn't done anything to endanger her life so far. What's more … "That's why you have to worry so much when you're good-looking! I just can't stop worrying about her. "
Ban Zou angrily gritted his teeth: "You can't even protect yourself, so why do you care about others?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head. "It's not that bad yet. No matter what, I can still protect myself." She thought for a moment and added, "Especially when none of you are by my side, my ability to protect myself will be stronger."
Ban Zou suddenly realized that his master's words had another meaning and could not help but furrow his brow. He asked very warily: "What are you doing now?"
"Ban Zou!" Feng Yu Heng turned to look at him, "How about you go to the West to meet her. At the very least, you can pay attention along the way to see if there are any signs of a fight or a plot to take someone's life. I can't personally send her off. I need to know if she is safe or not. "
Ban Zou was speechless, "Don't you hate the people of Qian Zhou? Qian Zhou's imperial family cut off one of the young master's fingers. Instead of cutting off Prince Lian, you're worried about her? "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "Those are two different matters." Thinking a little more, she felt that these words were not very convincing, thus she simply said the truth: "Isn't it just because I think she's pretty? Ban Zou, you're not young anymore. The problem with your wife … "
"I'll go look for her." Ban Zou did not want to continue listening to this damn girl speak. Turning his horse around, he rushed off to the West.
Damn it! Had his master's brain been flooded with water? Did he have such strong tastes? Could he take in just anyone? He did not even distinguish between male and female?
Feng Yu Heng watched Ban Zou's departing figure for a while. She also felt a little regretful that she should not have meddled in this matter. It was as Ban Zou had said. To her, Qian Zhou's imperial family was someone that she hated deeply. Prince Lian dying was even better. What was the point of doing this?
However, when she wanted to call him back, it was already too late. Ban Zou's face was filled with unhappiness, and he left faster than anyone else. Feng Yu Heng helplessly shook her head and urged her horse forward, but this journey was very difficult. She could not say for sure what was going on, but she felt that there was a sort of feeling that was constantly fluctuating in her heart. It was as though there was something up ahead that was tugging at her, causing her to suddenly feel a great deal of anticipation. This sort of anticipation was not the nervousness and anxiety that she originally felt from Dashun's soldiers rushing to save people. Instead, it was a sort of joy that came from her heart.
Only when Guan Zhou's Southern gate could be clearly seen through the morning fog did Feng Yu Heng finally understand where this sort of anticipation came from.
Just across from the Southern gate, 50 paces away, tens of thousands of Dashun's soldiers were gathered. There were 12 chariots and 12 shields. The soldiers of the Divine Intent Army stood on top of the shields. All of them raised their bows and aimed their arrows at the top of Guan Zhou's walls. And on top of the walls, facing off against Dashun's soldiers was Duan Mu An Guo's eldest son, Duan Mu Cong, as well as countless generals from the North.
However, none of this was able to attract Feng Yu Heng's attention. In her eyes and in her heart, there was only one figure that existed. Purple battle robes, a golden mask, and a red colt. The Northern wind blew, causing the cloak behind him to flutter. He was like a god of war standing there. Nobody could move him.
His arms were crossed in front of him. He looked up and stared straight at Duan Mu Cong. There was not a trace of panic. There was not a trace of nervousness. It was as though this was not a battle. Instead, it was a normal meal and drink. The only thing missing was that he did not ask someone to place a table full of food in front of him.
Feng Yu Heng's heart thumped. Why did he come?
On the other hand, Duan Mu Cong, who was on top of the city wall, was not as relaxed. He was Duan Mu An Guo's eldest son. Regardless of whether it was in terms of energy or physical strength, he was not on the same level as Xuan Tianming. Moreover, he was Han Chinese. He did not have any Northern blood in him. Although he was also tall and sturdy, he was too different from those who were born and raised in the North.
To Duan Mu Cong, Xuan Tianming was a legendary existence. Legends about Dashun's god of war, the Ninth Prince, could be found everywhere. He had heard too much over the years and had long wanted to compete with him. But now that they really met, just this exchange of glances made him feel like he was at a disadvantage.
Duan Mu Cong composed himself. Taking a deep breath, he did his best to adjust his mental state to its peak. Only then did he gather his energy and loudly say: "Xuan Tianming! My Guan Zhou's city walls are ten zhang high and five zhang thick. Even that city gate is made of bronze. I want to see what ability you have to break into my Guan Zhou! "
Saying these harsh words, he did not expect to scare the other party. But he still could not stand Xuan Tianming's indifferent attitude. It was as though he had said the funniest joke in the world. In exchange, the other party only laughed. The morale of the army was not shaken in the slightest.
Duan Mu Cong was not satisfied. He could not help but shout again: "Xuan Tianming, even if you have tens of thousands of soldiers to break through this city gate, the soldiers of the North will fight to the death with you. The hundreds of thousands of citizens of Guan Zhou City are waiting for your arrival. If you have the ability, then slaughter Guan Zhou City. I, Duan Mu Cong, want to see what right a general who does not care about the lives of the citizens has to win the hearts of the people! "
Pfft!
Xuan Tianming was amused by his words. But this laughter was even more disdainful. The good thing was that he was finally willing to talk to Duan Mu Cong. The bad thing was that Xuan Tianming's words almost made Duan Mu Cong fall off the city wall in anger.
He said: "Slaughter the city? If you want to slaughter the city, then so be it. I have never been a kind person. You want to talk to me about the hearts of the people? What a joke! I want to talk about the misery of the people? What if I, Xuan Tianming, can't get, I destroy it? If the people of the three northern provinces have the same heart as your Duan Mu Family, and wear the same pants, I really can't feed them. So be it if I slaughter them. " As he spoke, he raised his head even higher. That insufferably arrogant attitude was once again displayed, "Let me tell you, in the entire North, even if everyone was put together, they would not be worth as much as my wife. In this world, even if everyone stood together, my wife alone would not be able to attract my attention. Duan Mu Cong, this is this great one's attitude. I said that the North captured my wife, right? Listen well, if that damn girl loses a single strand of hair, this great one will dig up your Duan Mu family's ancestral grave. I will dig up every single coffin and whip the corpses to dry. I will then stuff the living and fresh ones into the coffins. Recycling is just recycling. We can't waste those coffins. Take a look, is that alright? "
Duan Mu Cong was so angry that he was about to cough up blood; however, before Xuan Tianming could finish speaking, that infuriating voice spoke up once more: "A lowly North can't even compare to Qian Zhou, yet you want to fight with I? Someone come! "He loudly shouted and raised his right hand," Prepare to attack the city! "
Once this order was given, two groups of soldiers immediately began to move forward while holding a thick wooden stake. Step by step, they began to approach Guan Zhou's city gates. Their steps were synchronized, and they were very powerful. Cracks began to appear on the icy ground.
Duan Mu Cong was not intimidated by this. He immediately stood up and loudly ordered: "Archers! Prepare! "
"Hahahaha!" Xuan Tianming began to laugh loudly. It was as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He was both arrogant and arrogant. When he finally finished laughing, he raised his hand and loudly said: "Divine archers, show that thing on the wall what it means to be an archer!"
The 500 divine archers of the Divine Intent Army had all come with Xuan Tianming. Hearing this order, ten immediately drove their chariots forward and aimed their bows at the top of the city walls.
Xuan Tianming reminded them: "Just scare them a little. Don't shoot them to death. That wouldn't be fun."
The ten divine archers nodded. In an instant, ten arrows sounded, and each person fired two arrows. Twenty arrows whistled through the air! From the bottom to the top, the arrows pierced through the wind and snow. Even if the soldiers on the city walls quickly dodged, they could not avoid the tracking arrows that seemed to have grown eyes.
None of the arrows missed. In the blink of an eye, the twenty people at Duan Mu Qing's side had all fallen to the ground, dead. The closest one was only half a step away from him.
