Heartless Phoenix Queen - C156
As for the Sixth Prince’s side, Feng Lingxue naturally knew that he was a piece of mud that couldn’t be supported by the wall, so she naturally saw him as a target. Thus, Zi Yuan had never had the idea of looking at the Sixth Prince as much as he did, and the battlefield had already become a kind of strategy.
If it weren’t for the Sixth Prince’s help and the fact that the political affairs of the capital were somewhat unstable, Dongping Country wouldn’t dare to hold the Sixth Prince hostage, not because they valued him, but rather because he was supported by his ministers from the capital. Otherwise, how could Feng Lingxue have any other thoughts just based on his character, but what Feng Lingxue didn’t know was that all of the ministers belonging to the empress dowager had been purged by the Violet Palace.
As for Lan Cang? After a few days of battle, Lan Cang had also come to realize that the East Peak Country was not willing to start a war with the Northern Yue and had instead decided to engage in a Feng Shui battle. In this way, they would be able to forcefully hold back Lan Cang with their lives, and as Helian Helian thought, Lan Cang did not receive Helian’s summons.
“General Nangong, did you notice anything wrong?” However, this formation was only used for defense purposes. Over the past few days, the East Peak Country had always kept a respectful distance from the northern troops and horses, not daring to collide with them. This was also a matter that Lan Cang had always been unable to understand, and if it weren’t for the troops of the East Peak Country present, he would have thought that this was just like Zi Yuan singing about the plan of an empty city.
“Marshal, I can see that too.” Could it be that these soldiers of the Empire of Dongping were kicked by donkeys? ” Earlier, the East Peak Army had always been using a roundabout strategy. They did not seek to win, but to stall him, and in this battle, if they were to fight on the other side of the western battlefield, perhaps Lan Cang would not think too much about it, because the enemy’s forces were strong, so if they used such a tactic, it would indeed reduce the morale of his side. The East Peak Army had always thought that they would not dare to argue with the North, but instead used numbers to fill this hole.
At this moment, Dongping Kingdom’s side was indeed as Lan Cang thought. The opposing party’s leader, General Yun Fei, was no longer present. At this moment, all the generals frowned and did not dare to retreat.
“General Ma, when will this be the end? Our East Peak Army does not have that many troops from the North. If this goes on, I’m afraid that sooner or later, our country will fall!” Yun Meng said with worry in her eyes, and Yun Meng was actually Yun Fei’s little brother.
“General Yun, I know about this but you’re aware of the marshal’s orders as well. The marshal is your brother, we can only obey his orders this time.” General Ma said anxiously.
“I know that this is my big brother’s order, but right now, that Lan Cang has clearly seen something. Look at how we’ve formed a defensive formation, they haven’t attacked. I’m afraid they’ve seen something.”
“We’re just walking on a tightrope. Once Lan Cang discovers that we’re retreating, we won’t dare to delay them even if we want to.” At this moment, General Ma also hit his thigh and said with a slightly deep voice.
“Hmm, this won’t do. I must find a way.” When Yun Meng heard this, she shook her head. Then, as if she had thought of something, she continued speaking.
“General Ma, how about this. The two of us will go and challenge that Blue Sky guy. If we work together, we will be able to make him suffer a little.”
“Hmm? This is a good plan, but I’m afraid that Lan Cang will not accept our invitation. ”
“Ah, General Ma, you are also anxious and confused. How can we be separated in a battle between two armies? When the time comes, I will stand in front of the main station while you fight for me.”
“Right, right, this is a good idea!” General Ma slapped his thigh and felt that this method was feasible.
As for Lan Cang, he continued to watch the battle and chat with General Nangong. The two of them felt that something was off about this matter.
“General Nan Gong, I have a plan. If we withdraw and the people from Dongping Kingdom came to challenge us, they would definitely send me out to meet them. After you help me, send someone to quietly take a look at the Dongping army camp and see just how many troops there are.”
“Marshal, this method is indeed good. Alright, that’s it.” Nangong Xiong also felt that not only would this method of Lan Cang be able to dispel his doubts, it would also allow his opponent to receive a blow!
“Alright, then I’ll immediately …”
“Report!” Marshal, General Yun Meng from the Dongping Army, has come to invite you to battle! ” As the spy came to report, he immediately interrupted Lan Cang’s words.
“Hmm? Invite? “Who is the target?” Lan Cang frowned as he spoke.
“It’s you, Marshal!” When the scout said this, a trace of a smile flashed across Lan Cang’s eyes. Soon after, he and Nangong Xiong looked at each other. The two of them understood each other and Lan Cang also galloped over. Yun Meng and General Ma had already been waiting on the battlefield for a long time.
“Just you alone?” When Lan Cang saw Yun Meng waiting here by herself, he also felt that it was a bit strange. He seemed to have thought of something and didn’t say anything more. Instead, he quietly watched Yun Meng.
“Yes, that’s right. I’ve heard of the great Marshal Cang’s fame for a long time. Today, I’ve come to try my luck!” Yun Meng also cupped her hands together as she spoke in an imposing manner. As for Lan Cang, he was too lazy to say anything else as he directly rushed forward and brandished the long blade in his hand, directly chopping at Yun Meng. Yun Meng also felt that the name of Lan Cang’s bravery was not just for show, it caused Yun Meng to directly retreat after her war horse.
“Haha, I already said that you have the courage to fight me. Even your brother doesn’t have the guts to do so!” When Lan Cang saw another person join the fray, he wasn’t afraid. On the contrary, he brandished his long blade with even more vigor.
“Humph, cut the crap!” Yun Meng’s face turned red as she heard this. It was originally a disgraceful moment for two people to fight against one another, but it was useless as this Blue Sky was too fierce. The Blue Sky only needed to give a low roar to the two of them before his internal energy gushed out.
Boom! Yun Meng was also shaken by this inner force until she was barely able to hold on. Then, she fell to the ground, while Lan Cang also dropped his broadsword and rushed forward. Seeing this, General Ma was afraid that Yun Meng was unable to dodge and immediately pounced over.
Pfft! General Ma had actually used his own body to block Yun Meng!
“General Ma!” “Brother Ma!” On the battlefield, it was nothing more than a fight to the death, so Lan Cang naturally wouldn’t care that much. The two of them had planned on attacking each other in a pincer fight, with strength weaker than his, so it was deserved to die. Looking at the somewhat crazy Yun Meng, Lan Cang sneered in his heart, at this moment, Yun Meng’s heart was unsteady, but because of the restrictions on her strength, Lan Cang was not in a hurry to fight with Yun Meng, instead, he was stalling for time.
“Marshal, we’ve confirmed the news. There are only these few soldiers here. They can’t support us any longer!” As Nangong Xiong’s words fell, Lan Cang immediately shouted out.
Bastard, how dare your Eastpan Kingdom do such a despicable thing!” The blade in his hand carried a whirlpool as he charged towards Yun Meng. Yun Meng also felt this force was not something that she could defend against and wanted to escape. However, she was struck by Nangong Xiong’s body and struck her in the chest.
“General Nangong, you will lead 10,000 troops to kill off all of the people in this East Peak Country. I need to hurry back to the Northern Yue. I’m afraid something is happening in the Northern Yue right now!” At this moment, Nangong Xiong’s eyes revealed a trace of coldness. The Eastern Ping Kingdom was truly crafty, to actually dare to scheme to lure a tiger out of the mountain, when he thought of this, Nan Gong Xiong was afraid that there would be a change in the Northern Yue Palace, he gripped his hammers tightly and rushed towards the remaining East Peak Soldiers, while Lan Cang had already returned to the camp, and spoke to the various Great Generals.
“Yuan Hao, Li Zhen, quickly tell them to assemble the troops and retreat back to the Northern Yue!” “Yes.” Lan Cang did not wait for Yuan Hao and the rest to respond after he finished speaking.
“I will lead the way first. You will first lead the thirty thousand elite troops to the front of the formation, and then follow me to the north!” At this moment, the interior of the Northern Yue Sect was already extremely empty. If the Dongping Country really wanted to lure the tiger out of the mountain, then they wouldn’t be able to do anything with just the imperial guards. No wonder, no wonder the Dongping Country troops dared to take on the lives of the enemies with just a little bit of strength, as they wanted to directly destroy the Northern Desert City and lure the tiger out of the mountain. When Lan Cang thought of this, he waved the whip in his hand with all his might and increased his speed.
When he thought of this, he felt that his heart would not be able to calm down for the rest of his life. When he thought of this, he felt that there was not much fire in his heart, so he rode back in the direction of the Northern Desert City, and how could he reach the distance between the North and the East Peak even in one night? Currently, in the Northern Palace, Helian Lie and Zi Yuan were also sitting on the Dragon Bed.
“Zi Yuan, do you think the Sixth Prince will return?”
“Even if he doesn’t want to come back, he has to.” Zi Yuan caressed the hair that covered his eyes as he casually said.
“Oh? You are quite sure about this, let’s not talk about this for now. So what if he is not sincere when he comes back? ”
“I never thought that he would come back with sincerity. If he comes back, it won’t change anything. The person I’m waiting for isn’t him, it’s the person behind him.” At this moment, Zi Yuan spoke his mind. Although Helian Helian understood what he meant, for a long time, Zi Yuan’s way of doing things had become more mature than his own. Some things happened step by step, causing Helian to be unable to react.
