Heartless Phoenix Queen - C223

It had to be said that Helian and Zi Yuan had been careless when it came to guarding Murong Xiu and Tang Ao. When Mu Rong Xiu carried Tang Ao out, he was only barely exposed by the patrolling soldiers. They quickly escaped the dungeon safely. The two hid on a quiet street next to the prison. Tang Ao rested for a while and told Murong Xiu that he knew that there was another residential area with a tunnel leading outside of the city. Murong Xiu was overjoyed. He immediately carried Tang Ao and told him to point the way to the house.

It was already late at night, and other than the patrolling soldiers, no one else was walking on the streets. Thus, the two of them avoided the patrolling, arriving at the house safely.

After a long time, there was still no sound coming from the door. Murong Xiu couldn’t help but feel anxious, but at this moment, the house’s lights came on and someone knocked on the door twice. Thus, Tang Ao knocked on the door five times. The door finally opened with a creak. An old man came out. When he saw Tang Ao, who was badly mutilated, he was first shocked. Then, he glanced at Murong Xiu next to Tang Ao.

The old man didn’t say a word as he led them all the way to the room inside. Only then did he plop to his knees beside Tang Ao, full of tears. “General Tang, how did they torture you to such an extent …”

Tang Ao waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter. Right, the person beside me is the Regent. Elder Zhang, quickly greet the Prince.”

When Master Zhang heard this, he was even more excited. He immediately knocked three times on the head of Murong Xiu and said, “This commoner, Zhang Qi, greets Your Highness …” His Royal Highness must have used some sort of magical technique to save General Tang! “This commoner thanks Your Highness for saving General Tang’s life …”

Mu Rong Xiu couldn’t bear to see this kind of scene. He held up Uncle Zhang and signaled Tang Ao to stop showing the old man around.

Tang Ao felt that this kind of prince was really interesting, so he pretended not to see Murong Xiu’s expression. Thus, after thanking them for a short while, the three of them finally began to discuss the main issue.

Murong Xiu didn’t expect this ordinary looking old man to be an outstanding blacksmith and also the secret Battle Mecha Master of the Heaven Armored Soldiers. He took the iron parts from his underground storage and helped Tang Ao install his body. Then, he woke up his wife, told her to take a pulse for Murong Xiu, and made a set of antidote from his storage. At the same time, he had his wife bandage their wounds with medicine.

Mu Rong Xiu couldn’t help but admire Zhang and his wife’s skill. After he and Tang Ao had tidied themselves up, the sky had already begun to brighten. There was already a commotion outside, and the sounds of patrolling came from another alley, loud and clear.

Thus, Old Man Zhang led them to the well in the courtyard. After opening the secret passage, he told them to follow the secret passage and proceed forward.

By the time Old Man Zhang had rearranged the hidden entrance to the secret passage, his door had also been rapped rudely by the patrolmen.

Tang Ao, who had reinstalled the Refined Iron mechanism, regained his fighting spirit and fighting strength. He brought Murong Xiu along in a hurry as he walked along the secret passageway. As for Murong Xiu, he tested the circulation of his zhen qi from time to time and found that the effect of restraining it had loosened a bit.

When the two of them came out of the exit, the sky was already bright. This exit was located in a shrubbery in the Hibiscus Mountains. When the two climbed out, their bodies were still pierced through by tree branches and thorns. It was at this moment that Mu Rong Xiu discovered that the poison’s potency had completely dissipated.

Tang Ao brought Murong Xiu out of the bush. He pointed at a nearby cave and said, “We can rest over there.”

Murong Xiu looked at it and laughed. “It really is a good place.” As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and used the movement technique from the Book of Heaven’s Path.

Tang Ao followed closely behind, and asked in surprise, “Your Royal Highness, you can circulate your Qi?”

Murong Xiu replied with a series of “hahaha” sounds.

This laughter echoed through the valley and echoed throughout the entire Hibiscus Courtyard, echoing into the ears of Helian Lie who was standing on the tower of Hibiscus City. Helian Lie pointed at the mountain range in anger and swore, “Old man Murong, next time you land in my hands, I’ll definitely kill you!”

On the other side of the border, the two guards immediately reported the escape of both Mu Rong Xiu and Tang Ao. Zi Yuan hurriedly led his men to the dungeon to investigate. When she saw the death of the guard who was lying next to Murong Xiu’s cell, she immediately guessed how Murong Xiu had succeeded. Under her fury, the Zi Yuan, who hadn’t killed for a long time, immediately ordered his men to kill the guards of Class 3 to make an example of her. The remaining three classes had a total of twelve people on each side. Yuan Hao reminded Zi Yuan from the side, fearing that this action would affect their morale. The Violet Garden enunciated each word in a deep voice, “The captives that try to escape will only act after observing the guards.” It wasn’t that these guards who had died were unlucky, but that all the guards who had changed shifts were responsible as well. This was not only the responsibility of the guards who were killed by the captives, but the guards of the other squad leaders were also extremely wrong to not have discovered the traces of their captives escaping in advance! Why not? If they were on the battlefield, they would be soldiers who could not recognize the situation and would deliver heads to their enemies. Our Northern Yue Army does not need ordinary soldiers without observation.

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were left speechless. On the contrary, some talented soldiers became eager to give it a try when they heard this. After all, there were not many people in this world who were willing to be mediocre. Zi Yuan’s words made the northern soldiers feel that they were elite soldiers. Especially those elite soldiers who had accompanied Zi Yuan and Helian Lie in their raid on the Hibiscus Kingdom that night, this made them feel even more respect and admiration for the empress.

When Helian Lie heard Murong Xiu’s laughter in the Hibiscus Mountains, he knew that it would be extremely difficult to send people to chase after them. Thus, he called his pursuers back and gloomily went to find Zi Yuan.

Zi Yuan had just finished beheading the twelve guards. He was in a daze with mixed emotions. When he saw Helian came to find him, he went up to greet him. After discussing the current situation for a while, Helian Lie decided to ignore the escaping Murong Xiu and ask Night Blue to take over this fortress. Then, Helian Lie and Zi Yuan continued to lead their armies to the west.

Ziyuan agreed with Helian’s idea, and the couple held each other tightly. Helian Lie knew that his negligence this time had let Murong Xiu go. Zi Yuan felt extremely guilty and guilty. In order to ease her self-reproach, he asked her about her situation.

Speaking of her beloved disciple, Violet Garden’s face once again lit up. “Both of them learn very quickly. The fighting techniques that I called her have become very skilled. All the men in the Tiger Guard Camp have suffered before. ”

Helian Lie was surprised. “You want this little girl to fight against the strong men of the Tiger Guards?”

“Yeah,” Zi Yuan revealed a triumphant expression. “On one hand, it allows both parties to accumulate actual combat experience. On the other hand, it naturally lets those men know that they aren’t necessarily the most outstanding. “Recently, the enthusiasm of those people who practice martial arts has increased a lot compared to when they were forced to practice it in the past.”

Helian tweaked her playful nose and said, “My Queen, two birds with one stone’s idea is really a lot!”

After recovering his strength, Murong Xiu brought Tang Ao into a cave in the Hibiscus mountain range. The two cultivated day and night. If they were hungry, they would eat wild fruits, and if they were thirsty, they would drink mountain springs to quench their thirst.

Half a month later, Zhang Qi suddenly appeared in the bushes. Murong Xiu was standing at the top of the cave. When he saw the old man’s movements, he sent Tang Ao down to greet him.

It turned out that the old man had come to inform them that the Helian army from the Northern Yue was leaving Furong City, and the one in charge was none other than the famous general of the Northern Yue, Ye Blueblue.

Murong Xiu looked at the old man and was about to return through the secret passage. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly flew down from the cave and stopped the old man. He whispered this information in the old man’s ear.

Ten days later, at the foot of the mountain where Murong Xiu was standing, thousands of people were standing there. They were all men in fine clothing, but most of them had mechanical limbs made from fine iron. This was the Heaven Craft Armor soldiers that Murong Xiu had asked old man Zhang to secretly gather. There were originally thirty to forty thousand soldiers, but now there were only a few thousand left. Tang Ao sighed.

However, Murong Xiu didn’t mind at all. He said excitedly, “It doesn’t matter. We can rebuild the Heaven Armored Soldiers soon. When that happens, we’ll kill our way out of the Hibiscus Mountains and take back the Hibiscus City!” “Then, use Furong City as the base to take back our Western Parting Rivers and Mountains!”

These words were said passionately, and the soldiers were extremely excited. However, Murong Xiu had ordered everyone to control their emotions and to not shout out loud so that they wouldn’t send a message through the valley.

While he was bored to death at the border between the East Peak and the North Yue, he received a secret order, requesting him to lead the Ye Family’s troops to the west side of the border, to the Flaming Orchid City. That very night, he had pulled out of camp and rushed out. The person following him, Ziling, was very happy as well. During the time that Blue River was guarding the border, guests would often come to the neighboring East Fencing Town. That was Zi Ling’s master in bewitching arts, Ellie. Ellie actually had many names. Ellie was just one of them, but when Ziling met her, she only knew her name was Ellie, so when they met at the border, Ziling still called her Ellie.

Since Ailee didn’t receive Feng Lingxue’s order to stop her teachings on Zi Ling, when she found out that Zi Ling was on the other side of East Fencing Town, she automatically appeared and took the initiative to visit her.

Zi Ling was very willing to learn bewitching arts from her. After all, she was relying on this bewitching art to obtain Ye Bluelight. Therefore, this time, Ailee added some combat training, she didn’t complain, and still earnestly studied. After Ellie left, Zi Ling used her husband as a practice partner. Although the two of them often fought their way to the bed, Zi Ling’s martial arts level had improved by a lot after sparring with Ye Cang, who had decent kung fu skills.

Thus, when she found out that her husband was going to the Western Divide Battlefield, Zi Ling was even more happy than General Ye himself. She pestered her husband day after day, requesting that one day, she would go on the battlefield with him, like Sister Zi Yuan and Sister Helian learning.

There was no way Ye Blueheaven could refuse her, so he could only agree. Of course, there were still conditions to agree, and that was to pounce on a lively little fairy like Zi Ling. It was a strange thing, since he started to get vigorous, he seemed to be full of energy every day and didn’t even feel enough for Zi Ling. After hearing the suggestions from some of his veterans, he was a little worried that Zi Ling would get pregnant soon. But after so long, she still didn’t show any signs of getting pregnant.
