"Lord Manager, it's already noon. We should let our men rest and drink some food."

"It's best not to waste time. We've been delayed by those people for a long time, and it's already late in the evening. "I'm afraid that you won't be able to get to the top until midnight. If you continue to stay here, I'm afraid there might be some mishaps."

"Lord Manager, no matter how anxious the men are, they still have to eat and rest. If they don't rest, the horses also have to rest and drink water. "Let's stop here for two hours and let our brothers rest for a while, and feed the horses. How about that?"

Commander Wei did not dare to make his own decisions, so he asked Ling Feng for his opinion. Inwardly, he was dissatisfied as he thought to himself, "You are sitting in the carriage, looking relaxed and at ease, not needing to suffer the bone-piercing cold wind and being able to eat as you please. I wonder how exhausted you are, since you've been running around for an entire day and night."

However, he didn't dare to say these words out loud. He could only feel discontent in his heart.

Ling Feng pondered for a moment and knew that after running for an entire day and night, his men were already exhausted: "Send down an order for them to not delay any longer and feed the horses. We'll set out in an hour."

"Yes."

Commander Wei agreed. With a belly full of complaints, he ordered everyone to dismount and rest for a meal. Everyone was already itching to take a break. If not for the fact that they knew it would be dangerous to stay here for too long, they would have already requested for an order.

"What about that sinful consort?"

"Reporting to Commander, I'm unconscious."

Commander Wei walked up to Ji Tian Ning's horse and used his hand to prop up Ji Tian Ning's face. Ji Tian Ning closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious. This way, she could numb the enemies and perhaps have a chance to escape.

"In such cold weather, she is unconscious and tied to the back of a horse. If there was a length, it would be hard to explain. Commander, why not put her back in the carriage? She's tied up like a dumpling, so there's no need to worry. "He's freezing cold, His Majesty will probably blame us."

Commander Wei touched Ji Tian Ning's face and nodded, "You are quite right. I will consult with the Head Supervisor."

He returned to the side of the carriage, bowed and said, "Head Steward, that sinful concubine has been unconscious all this time. She is still injured and has lost a lot of blood. If he put it on the horse, the wind would be bone-chilling, and it was likely that there would be accidents. "Head Steward, do you think we should put that sinful concubine on the carriage and bandage her wounds? If something happens, we'll be unable to report back to His Majesty."

Ling Feng was also worried that something might happen to Ji Tian Ning. He did not know how heavy that sword of his would be, so he could only nod his head and say, "Just throw her in the carriage and let the military doctor come over. If her injuries are not serious, then you don't need to bother with her. "Tonight, you will be able to enter the bountiful stage. Once you have reached the bountiful stage, we can talk about it later."

"Yes."

Commander Wei picked Ji Tian Ning up from the back of the horse and placed her in the carriage. She suddenly felt much warmer. Inside the carriage, there was a stove with charcoal inside. The cold wind couldn't blow in, but of course, outside the bone-piercing cold wind was a sky of both ice and fire.

The pain in his shoulder was still faint, and the blood no longer flowed. However, the pain from the wound did not stop. Her whole body was sore, and many parts of her body were numb. The soreness and numbness made her feel very uncomfortable.

She didn't dare move, still pretending to be unconscious, waiting for the right opportunity.

The military doctor came over and took off the clothes on Ji Tian Ning's shoulder. He used water to soak the clothes that had already congealed on the bloodstained skin. Gently cut it open with scissors, exposing the wound.

Because Ling Feng's sword had been startled and deflected, the sword did not pierce too deeply. However, because Ji Tian Ning fell off her horse and was constantly being carried around on its back, she suffered from a lot of blood loss.

"How are your injuries?"

"Reporting to the Head Supervisor, it's not that important. It's just that her skin and flesh were injured and her muscles were not injured. This lowly one will bandage her with medicine."

Ling Feng wanted the military doctor to not have any trouble, but he was worried that Ji Tian Ning would be in trouble due to her injuries if she stayed on horseback for too long, so he didn't say anything.

At this moment, Ji Tian Ning's rope had been untied. Since she needed to apply the medicine, it was inconvenient for her to do so, so the military doctor removed the rope from Ji Tian Ning's body.

Ji Tian Ning's heart was filled with contradictions. This was an opportunity for her. She could use this opportunity to capture Ling Feng and use him as a hostage, threatening him to release her.

However, in her heart, she was not sure if she could catch Ling Feng or not.

She did not dare to act rashly. She secretly listened to the surrounding sounds and peeked around.

"Lord Chief Eunuch, this lowly subordinate saw a few fireballs rise into the air, and it was Nanke who sent out the order. This servant is worried, Nan Gong already knows about the matter of this evil concubine, if you want to take action, it's best for you to hurry up and leave, don't waste any time. "

"Bastard, I shouldn't have let them go. And that bastard Yan Feng, he's been haunting us all the way."

"Rest assured, Head Supervisor. If Yan Feng dares to return, I will definitely make sure that he will not be able to return."

"Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble the two of you then. Capturing the two of you alive will give you the greatest power. When I return, I'll definitely ask for your merits in front of His Majesty."

"Thank you, Lord Manager."

Ji Tian Ning's heart tightened. She still remembered how she was captured and did not dare to move again. If those two experts were here, she would not have a chance. She could only continue to wait.

"Wei Changqing, send down the orders. We're leaving immediately."

Ling Feng hurriedly ordered Commander Wei to get everyone on their horses and set off. At this moment, they had not even rested for an hour.

"Head Supervisor, the time to rest is too short. Should we let our brothers rest for a bit more?"

Ling Feng frowned and was about to get angry, but when he saw that the soldiers outside the carriage were all exhausted, he said softly, "I don't know why, but I feel uneasy. Something big seems to have happened. "Let the brothers be tired, and bring the sinful concubine back to fertile land, and reward the brothers with an edict."

When Wei Changqing heard Ling Feng saying this, he did not say anything else. Seeing the flame of the Southern Champion, he too felt uneasy in his heart. One had to know that in the wilderness, there was no fortified city to defend. If they were to encounter the great army of the Southern Champion, the only road left for them was death.

They hurriedly passed down an order for everyone to stand up. No one wanted to stand up and rest for a bit longer.

"Brothers, you all have seen the firework of the order sent by the Southern Champion right? They must have received the news of the Consort's capture by us and are currently planning something. If we arrive earlier, we will be safer outside. We brothers must work harder and get up quickly to get on the road. "

When everyone heard Wei Changqing's words, they understood his reasoning and got up to leave.

Ji Tian Ning lay in the carriage, pretending to be unconscious as he complained to himself. He escaped with great difficulty, but who would've thought that he would be caught halfway through escaping from the people that Ling Feng had sent after Tang Mu Chen.

The military doctor applied some medicine and bandaged Ji Tian Ning up. Fortunately, the military doctor saw that Ji Tian Ning's shoulder was injured and so his hands were relatively light. He only tied Ji Tian Ning's hands behind her back and did not have much rope.

"Lord Commander, the people in front who were fleeing have been found. I heard that Fenggong has been breached."

A scout had come back to report that, and Tang Mubai and the others were all dumbfounded.

"Have you asked around?"

"This little one has already investigated thoroughly. Young Prince, you've attacked and destroyed Fenggong. They escaped from Fenggong City." This little one caught a refugee and brought him back, but from my point of view, this person doesn't look like a refugee, but more like an official who escaped. "

The scout threw a person from his horse to the ground. That person knelt on the ground while trembling and said, "Milords, I am just a refugee. Please return my things to me and let me go."

The scout laughed and said, "I have never seen such a wealthy refugee before. The package was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as horses. "That fine horse is Feng Yuan's war horse. Since when did it become possible to ride a war horse as you please among the commoners in the city?"

Tang Mu Chen asked, "Has Feng Rong City really been breached?"

"Yes, sir. This little one picked up this warhorse. I picked up a warhorse that was beaten to death. This little one is truly a commoner of Fengliu City. I would absolutely not dare to fool you."

"When did Feng Rong City get breached?"

"Just now, it took less than four hours."

Tang Mu Chen looked in the direction of the abundances. They were divided into two groups: one in front of Ling Feng, the other behind him.

At this moment, they were only less than a hundred miles away from Fenrir City, and the sky had already darkened.

"How many of you escaped?"

"Milord, this little one does not know either. I only know how to escape, where to find out how many people have escaped."

"Someone, order the people following behind Ling Feng to come here and capture those who are running away. No matter who it is, we must not let them escape and inform Ling Feng of the news."

"What does the Commander mean?"

"If Ling Feng were to know of this news, he would probably not dare to return to Fenggong and would definitely take a detour. If he did not know about this, he would have rushed straight to Fengwu, where the young prince's soldiers have already entered the city. Where else can he escape to? "

"Commander, you have a brilliant plan."

Tang Mu Chen laughed coldly, "Ling Feng, I'll let you be elated for a while. Quickly run to Fengcong and report to the young prince that if you meet any troops from the Southern Champion Kingdom, ask them to come and help us."

"Yes."

Everyone became excited. The destruction of Fenggong was tantamount to seizing Fengyuan. The war had gone so smoothly, and they had never expected it to happen. All of a sudden, the exhaustion had been swept away, and he felt a hundred times more energetic than before.

"Brothers, work harder. Catch all those who are running away along the way. Whoever dares to resist will be executed on the spot and be hidden in the shadows.

"Commander, we don't have that many people. If we capture them alive, where should we place them? It's better to just kill every one we see to avoid trouble. "

Tang Muchen thought for a moment and said, "Don't just randomly kill them. There might be many Fengyuan officials among them. Try to capture them alive and put their mouths shut, then tie them up." They all had horses with them, and they tied them to the horses and went with us to reap the bounty. If they couldn't take it with them, they would hide in a remote area and wait for reinforcements to come and escort them. If anyone tries to resist, kill them on the spot. "

"Understood."

Everyone urged their horses to move forward and search for the fish that had escaped the net. Because of this, no one came to disturb Ling Feng's team. At the same time, he didn't know that the news of Feng Rong's defeat was still spreading.

At this moment, Tang Mu Chen, who had gone ahead of everyone else, caught sight of many of the officials who had escaped. At this moment, he didn't have time to figure out who these people were. If he could bring them with him, he would send someone to take them with him. If he couldn't take them with him, he would hide and send someone to watch over them.

In next to no time, he met with the Southern Champion army. The opposing team was led by a golden-armored squad.

"General Jin, congratulations."

Tang Mubai cupped his fists in respect and envy. The five kingdoms had the most meritorious military exploits as they rushed back with golden armor to participate in the city siege. They would definitely receive a reward for their meritorious service.

"Commander Tang, where is Miss Ji now?"

The Golden Armor was not thinking about merits and rewards. Instead, it was only concerned about Ji Tian Ning's safety. Anxiety was clearly expressed in his words.

"I am incompetent, causing Miss Ji to fall into the hands of Ling Feng. When I return, I will face the prince and ask for forgiveness. Right now, Miss Ji is still in Ling Feng's army. I will lead some people along the way and capture all of the people who escaped from Fong Rong without letting them know the news.
