Five days later, the city was in a state of disarray. At this point, the stronghold of the Marquis was raided, leading a life of wandering. An Ling Qinglan personally led the troops to clear the surrounding area of the Mausoleum City, conquering Mount Ke, chasing all the princes and officials to flee to the north.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about the reverse scale's injuries, An Ling would have chased him down and killed him. However, the shadow of the ambush from that day still shrouded his heart, so he had been much more careful and cautious.

"Nan Feng, who do you think it is?"

He could not stand to get up so easily, so Ji Tian Ning ordered him to lie down and rest.

"I saw that arrow and then sent people to search for the corpses and things they left behind. I suspect that it was someone from the Northern barbarians. But why would the Northern barbarians appear here? What are their intentions? "

Anling Qinglan's face was heavy, "Now that Fengyuan is in pieces, not only did Shang Qiuyuan become rich, but he also captured Fengjingping, and then headed north. The benefits he gets from Fengyuan are the greatest. The other three countries have long been dissatisfied with this. However, on the surface, they cannot openly engage in battle with the Southern Champion. They will definitely cause trouble in the dark. "

"If that's the case, then the Hou and the Northern barbarians must have colluded with each other long ago. Otherwise, we would not have gone after Hou Hou and met with the northern barbarians' ambush. "

"These are only guesses that have not been confirmed yet. Now that we don't have to be fast, it is better to keep fighting steadily and not give the enemy any more chances. I'll send out a few scouts from the northern barbarians to keep an eye on their movements. "If I find out that it's really the Northern barbarians, I won't let them off so easily."

Nanfeng rubbed his fists together and said angrily: "These bastards, after I recover from my injuries, I will definitely teach them a lesson. How's the emperor's injury? "

"With the Empress here, there's no need for us to worry. It's just that the Emperor is still awake and asleep at times, which makes me worried."

"The Empress's medical skills are truly puzzling. An Ling Cyan Lan, do you think the Empress can really use witchcraft?"

An Lingyun shook her head. "I also do not know about this matter. It's just that the Empress's methods are not something my five nationalities know. Even your life was saved by the Empress. That arrow had pierced through your ribs and exited from your back. I am not surprised that you still survived such a heavy injury. "

"Who else knows about the Emperor's injury?"

"I ordered the guards to keep this a secret. It's just that the emperor hasn't appeared for a few days. There are already many rumors going around in the army. Even though I have sealed this matter, I'm afraid that I can't hide it from someone who wishes for it. "It's already been five days and we've already gone over three hundred li. If the Emperor still doesn't appear in front of everyone now, I'm afraid his morale will be unsteady."

"Have you ever studied this with the Empress? Even if the Emperor were to reveal it, it would be enough to pacify the army."

"We've already done our research. Tomorrow, the emperor will appear in front of all the soldiers. Now, in order to pacify the army, we've already summoned Shang Qiuyuan back."

Nanfeng stared blankly for a moment. "Why do you want to borrow the emperor's decree to summon Master Fengyuan back?"

"This is not because I want to borrow His Majesty's decree, but because the emperor asked me to summon Shang Qiuyuan back. As for why, I think the Emperor has the intention of probing Master Fengyuan. "

"That's true. What do you mean by 'Master Fengyuan'? I heard that he and the Prince's father and son are now in good harmony, and are highly favored by the Prince. "

"The secret within is something that we cannot know. If he were to receive the will of the Emperor, he would immediately return. This means that he does not harbor any ill intentions." If you use any other excuse to delay it, I don't think it's a good thing. "After all, this place is Fengyuan, and Shangqiu has connections in Fengyuan. This is also what the Emperor is most worried about."

"Guess if Shang Qiuyuan will be called back. He won't be under the orders of the Emperor."

"No one can see through his thoughts. Even the Emperor can't see through his thoughts, so there's no need to talk about me waiting. What about the King of Shoulder? What kind of person are they? And right now, I'm not really fond of them. "

The two were extremely worried. If Shang Qiuyuan stood by the side of the King, even if all of Fengyuan was placed within the territory of the Southern Champion, perhaps the Fiery Inverted Scale would not have the ability to command the ruler, Fengyuan. This was also the reason why the reverse scale led the troops and personally led the troops to reinforce Fengyuan.

Only if he was in Fengyuan himself could he balance his power and gain certain benefits.

"This is worrisome. Right now, His Majesty's injuries are severe. His illness is already unstable, and with this injury added on, perhaps his energy will be limited in the future." Currently, the Emperor does not have a son behind him. This is truly worrisome. "

"Indeed, the Queen already has a child, but she has not yet given birth to a prince. Even if they gave birth to princes, they would still have the bones and blood of the palace. If it is difficult for the Emperor to recover, and if the King Shoulder has power, then the Southern Champion will fall into the hands of the King Shoulder Shoulder. "

Nanfeng and An Ling's Qinglan were both Flaming Devil Scale's trusted aides, and their personal friendship was also quite good. Thus, they didn't have much scruples when discussing it in private.

"Lord Commander, Lord Lieutenant Governor, Master Fengyuan requests an audience with the Emperor."

"He's back?"

An Ling QingLan stood up abruptly. She did not expect that Shang Qiuyuan would return so quickly, so she ordered the person who reported the news to come in.

"How many men did Uncle Fengyuan bring back? Where are we now? "

"Lord, Master Fengyuan has brought a thousand men with him. Now that they are stationed outside the camp, he has come alone to seek an audience with the Emperor."

"Well, if that's the case, then wait for me to greet them. Nanfeng, you can rest here. "

An Lingyun stood up and went out of the tent to welcome Shang Qiuyuan. From an official point of view, Shang Qiuyuan was the official and general of Nanke, and he also had the identity of a young prince. Whether it was the official position or the title, they were both higher than An Ling's Qinglan.

A white figure stood on a red horse in the distance, his silver hair fluttering in the wind. He was wearing a white robe with lotus patterns on it that fluttered in the wind.

Lonely and proud, just like a blossoming snow lotus, that loneliness and coldness seeped into the heart of An Ling's QingLan from afar.

At this moment, he felt that his power was too weak in front of this man. How could a man like him lower his head before such a common man?

"Master Feng Yuan, we are here to congratulate you, Sir An Ling." I wonder if I should call you Young Master, or Young Prince? "

"Commander, there's no need to be so polite. You can call him whatever you want, since this is just a code name." I have come back with an edict, but I don't know when I will be able to meet the Emperor. "

Shang Qiuyuan faintly smiled. Although he was smiling, his innate noble arrogance still filled him with dignity. He was very polite to An Ling and the Blue Mist. After all, he was the Flaming Devil Scale's confidant.

An Ling QingLan's gaze swept across her surroundings. The men that Shang Qiuyuan had brought were all stationed not far away and had already set up camp. Thus, Shang Qiuyuan had come alone, not bringing a single person with him. He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. Shang Qiuyuan's action was enough to dispel the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"General, please follow me."

He did not directly take Shang Qiuyuan to see the Fiery-Scaled Sword, because he did not know whether or not the Fiery-Scaled Sword was awake at this moment. At the same time, he did not want Ji Tian Ning to see or hear of the arrival of Shang Qiuyuan.

"Great General, have you received any news?"

Shang Qiuyuan was silent and did not move. He had also heard that the Fire Lin had been injured, but he did not know how it had been injured. This matter was also told by the King Shoulder that if it weren't for Ji Tian Ning saving him, he would have already died.

He did not know the truth and did not want to say much.

"Please advise me, Lord Commander."

"I don't dare, Great General said I don't dare to be a lowly person. A few days ago, His Majesty was ambushed and heavily injured. Now, his injuries are serious, and he is still resting." Although this matter has been kept a secret many times, this lowly official thinks that the Great General might have already received some information. When the Emperor woke up, he immediately sent an order for the general to come back so that he wouldn't lose his morale. "

"I wonder how His Majesty's current injuries are? I am very worried. Could you visit the Emperor's dragon body first? "

"General, there is no need to be anxious. Please rest for a moment in this lowly official's tent. This lowly general has a favor to report."

Shang Qiuyuan knew that the move by the reverse scale was a test of his loyalty. Summoning him back to his side at this moment would not only allow him to be under control when his injuries were serious, but also allow him to control Feng Yuan.

He did not mind at all. He was extremely familiar with the Emperor's tactics and techniques. He was secretly worried in his heart. He was even more worried about the Fiery Inverted Scale's injuries, but the person he was worried about was Ji Tian Ning.

"I didn't expect that she would fall into the hands of the Emperor in the end, but I wonder how she is doing now?" Upon hearing that Hateful Heavens had been killed, her heart must have been filled with endless grief and grief. However, I do not know if I can see her this time. As long as I can see that she is safe and sound, I can rest assured. "

She gently touched her chest where the wound had been healed by her own hands. This time, she had gone to the north and wiped out the Sixth Prince in one fell swoop, catching him alive. If it weren't for the few pills she'd given him, his life would have been in danger.

He was worried that the war would affect the other three countries and not only focus on Feng Yuan.

In order to obtain greater benefits in Fengyuan, Yun Meng, Northern Yi, and Jinghai had secretly set up plans to deal with Nanke, and even joined hands with a few Fengyuan princes. Their common goal was to prevent Nanke from expanding her interests in Fengyuan.

He had entered the army only to capture a few other princes, not to attack the stronghold. Attacking a city was a last resort. In order to capture the remnants of the Feng family, he didn't hesitate to go against the other three nations. However, if the other three kingdoms joined forces with the princes of Fengyuan, his wish would not be fulfilled. This was something that he did not wish to see, nor could he allow.

An Lun's Azure Mist secretly sent people to observe the current situation of the reverse scale, and had also arranged for Ji Tian Ning to not know of Shang Qiuyuan's arrival.

Bringing Shang Qiuyuan into his own tent, he recounted the matter, "General, the reason why the Emperor summoned the general back is because the general is familiar with the area and uses troops like a god. He intends to have the general temporarily take charge of military affairs in order to prevent his morale from waning. However, the current Emperor's injuries are still extremely serious, and he often falls into a deep slumber. Thus, this lowly subordinate shall first ask the Great General to rest here for a while, before going to meet with the Emperor. "
