Duan Liushao nodded.

Feng Ning Yan couldn't support her body anymore, and she pressed her hand on the tea table at the side, blankly staring at the sand on the ground. Her mind was like smoke drifting in the sky, floating back to the Nan Yong Pass that she was familiar with.

She seemed to see the Southern Ning Army and the phoenix banner fall from the blazing fire and replace it with the banner of the Southern Wilderness …

"Miss Feng!"

While she was unconscious, she heard urgent shouts, but her body was too weak to move. Her mind was only filled with the bloody battlefield and the tragic cries of the Southern Ning Army soldiers who had been wantonly slaughtered by the enemy …

Her forehead was burning hot, but her body was ice-cold. She was unconscious, and six hours passed.

In the middle of the night, Duan Liushao didn't move to another place to rest nor did he arrange a place for Feng Ning Yan to rest. Instead, he sat by her bedside, quietly guarding her while personally preparing and feeding her medicine.

When the sky was about to brighten, Feng Ning Yan finally regained consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw Duan Liushao sitting on a chair beside the bed, using his elbows to support his head as he dozed off.

The maid by the side was in an even worse state. She was so tired that she swayed from side to side, almost falling to the ground.

Feng Ningyan looked at the medicine bowl and porridge bowl beside Duan Liushao. Only now did she understand that this Southern Wilderness Crown Prince had taken care of her for the entire night.

However, when she thought of the enmity between the two countries and the Southern Yong Pass, the gratitude that she had just felt was immediately replaced by hatred.

She quietly got up and looked at the tired and tired Duan Liushao. She raised her palm and viciously hacked at the back of Duan Liushao's head …

After knocking Duan Liushao and the two maidservants unconscious, she tied up the three of them and stuffed some cloth strips into her mouth. Then, she took advantage of the dark sky to slip out of the tent.

Feng Ning Yan lived in the army for a long time, so she naturally knew the locations of the army camp's important patrols like the back of her hand. Not to mention those ordinary soldiers who only knew external martial arts and didn't have the slightest skill, their footsteps and breathing were rough, which couldn't be hidden from her ears.

She easily bypassed the patrolling soldiers and slipped out of the Southern Wilderness camp.

When she straightened up from the tall grass, she saw that the army camp was still brightly lit. No one had noticed her escape, much less noticed that Duan Liushao was tied up in his own tent.

The Southern Army's base was not far away from the South Mountain Pass. Feng Ningyan lightly panted as she forced her way through her weak body. Not long after she left, she could faintly see the tall city walls in the distance.

Although they were still quite a distance away, they could already see that on top of the city wall, the flag of the Southern Army and the 'Phoenixes' that had been flying high above the city wall had disappeared.

The Southern Yong Pass had really fallen. Duan Liushao didn't lie to her.

At this point, Feng Ningyan could no longer deceive herself. She looked at the pitch black city walls in the distance and suddenly felt a burning sensation in her eyes and a sharp pain in her heart. She couldn't help but fall to the ground, tightly clutching her chest.

A gust of wind blew from the south, carrying the scent of blood and smoke.

She had guarded the Southern Yong Pass for so long, but it still fell into her hands …

Feng Ningyan sat on the muddy ground beside the big tree that was filled with roots, and she stared blankly at the city walls in the distance. She didn't dare to think too deeply about the current situation that Sima Du, Liao Guangwen, and the others were in, and even more so didn't know how to explain it to Feng Wei.

She was in a daze. She didn't notice that behind her, there was a patrolman from the Southern Wilderness who was also half-crouching in the grass. He gripped the scimitar at his waist tightly and slowly approached her without a sound.

As the distance between them shrank, the man had already unsheathed half of the scimitar in his hand. A cold, snow-white light flashed in the grass.

However, at this time, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew past, causing the tall grass that was as deep as his waist to sway and rustle.

At that moment, a cold light flashed from the soldier's neck, and a desolate sound of wind covered the faint sound of him falling to the ground.

This gust of cold wind also made Feng Ning Yan shudder, waking her up from her self-reproach. At the same time, her heart skipped a beat, as if there was someone nearby. She turned her head to look, only to see a vast expanse of grass.

She did not see the Southern Wilderness soldiers who had died in the grass, nor did she see the black-clothed man who had hidden behind the tall shrubs.

This was a person that she was so familiar with. Even though they were close at hand, they were as far apart as if they were separated by the heavens.

The Southern Yong Pass was lost, but he did not have the status or the position to meet her. He could not gently comfort her in his arms and face her together.

Because he was no longer her husband, but a stranger.

In the vast wasteland, the wind was blowing drearily. Feng Ning Yan looked around, but she couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. However, she inexplicably thought of Shen Ling Jue.

She clenched her fists and thought: Ling Jue, I wonder if you received any news from the Speaker's Hall? Rest assured, I will definitely take back the Southern Yong Pass for you. For you, I will risk my life to protect the door of the Southern Kingdom and protect your world!

She turned her head and took one last look at the city gate tower of the Southern Yong Pass. Then, she bent down and decisively turned east, avoiding the South Yong Pass.

She had to return to Dragon Fang as soon as possible, she couldn't let Feng Wei think that she had been captured. She hastily sent out her troops, just like in her previous life where she suffered the same fate as the Dragon Tooth battle.

Feng Ningyan made her way up the mountain path towards the dragon's teeth, breaking through the darkest moment before dawn. As the morning sun enveloped the barracks, she finally returned to the Southern Ning Army's camp.

In the main tent, an army doctor was bandaging Liao Guangwen's wounds.

At this moment, Vice General Liao Yao, carrying a medicine bowl, walked up to Feng Wei. He glanced at Liao Guangwen and said, "General, it's time for you to drink the medicine."

Feng Wei was in no mood to drink the medicine. He waved his hand and said, "Leave it!"

Only after Liao Guangwen had finished bandaging his wounds and the medicinal effects of Mai Boiling Powder had passed did he finally wake up.

When he saw Feng Wei, he felt ashamed and wanted to beg for forgiveness.

"Great General, this lowly general has failed in his duty …"

Feng Wei raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and asked: "Don't blame yourself anymore, this commander-in-chief is only asking you, the young commander-in-chief is … Are you safe and sound? "

Liao Guangwen's expression turned cold, and he sternly said, "It's because this general wasn't able to protect the young general and allowed her to be taken captive by Duan Liushao …"

After Feng Wei heard this, he remained silent. Other than frowning, he did not reveal the slightest bit of sadness.

After a long time, he stood up and shouted, "Fifty thousand! This commander will personally take back the Southern Yong Pass and the Young Marshal! "

Just then, the curtains suddenly fluttered, and a person's figure flashed like the wind, entering the room. I'm back! "

"Yan'Er!" Feng Wei didn't dare to believe it, his daughter actually appeared before him full of energy. He excitedly held onto Feng Ning Yan and looked around, afraid that she would be hurt in the slightest.

Seeing that Feng Ningyan was uninjured, only her clothes were thin, and she wasn't wearing any armor, although Feng Wei was worried about her situation in the enemy camp, he still patted his daughter's head and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back …"

Seeing her father, the self-blame in Feng Ningyan's heart surged even more. She lowered her head and knelt down on one knee, "Father Commander … It's because this lowly general was useless and was unable to defend the Southern Mountain Pass, and thus was willing to be punished! "

Seeing this, Li Yao and the others hurriedly tried to console him.

Feng Wei hurriedly supported her up, "Victory and defeat are commonplace in war, let's throw away the city and take it back!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Liao Guangwen struggled to get up from his bed. "Young Marshal …"
