Murong Xiu saw that Zi Yuan wasn't talking to him anymore, so he probably didn't have any more thoughts in his heart. Therefore, he started to fight seriously with Zi Yuan, but his power was clearly much greater than Zi Yuan's.

"Miss Zi Yuan, you might listen to me." Murong Xiu suddenly spoke to the Violet Garden, but the Violet Garden didn't say anything. Her eyes became even colder. Murong Xiu naturally saw the change in her expression and knew that he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly to her.

"Zi Yuan, as long as you surrender right now, I swear I won't hurt you in the slightest. "As long as you obediently stay in the western part of the army, it'll be fine. It's a pity that you killed such a person. Murong Yi's intention is also to wish that Lady Violet Garden would be satisfied." How could Ziyuan just give in so easily? Suddenly, Ziyuan raised a flying knife and turned around to stab from behind, while Murong Xiu couldn't dodge in time and could only use his inner force to block. When Ziyuan saw an opportunity, he drew his sword out of the scabbard and thrust it towards Murong Xiu's throat.

"Lady Violet Garden, there's no need for that. Although in terms of martial skills, you and I are roughly the same, but you need to know that my martial skills are incomparable to yours. So, it's better for us to stay here and discuss what to do." Murong Xiu still refused to give up and continued speaking. Zi Yuan also knew that if this carried on, he would run out of inner strength. Thus, Zi Yuan had been looking for an opportunity to escape.

On the other side, Zi Feng was also worried when he saw that the little miss had yet to come out.

"Zi Feng, the general hasn't come out yet. Could something have happened?" One of the elite warriors said worriedly as he was obviously very familiar with Zi Feng.

"Ahh, I was also worried about that. But you clearly instructed me to leave without coming out in the middle of the night. Right now, it is already past the hour!" If she did not come out, these people would have to go back. Zi Feng knew how sincere Zi Feng was to him, so he did not want him to be in danger, so he was prepared to go over by himself. Of course, it would be best if he could get these people to scout him out, but now that the Violet Garden was in such a trap, Zi Feng naturally did not know.

"Then what should we do, whether we return it or not, we will wait here for the general's instructions." That person asked anxiously.

"Just wait a quarter of an hour. If the Miss hasn't sent out her signal yet, we'll retreat!" Although he really wanted to rush out, Zi Feng still knew that he could not go against the lady's orders. Otherwise, after he left, he would likely end up suffering greatly and receive a small punishment. However, if he did not acknowledge them, Zi Feng would likely regret it, so Zi Feng had chosen to obey the lady's orders. At that moment, a quarter of an hour was also his limit.

"That's the only way." After saying that, the big man scanned his surroundings with a serious look, wanting to see a chance to signal.

At this moment, the battle between the Purple Garden and Murong Yi was difficult to stop. The Purple Garden knew that she could not continue like this, so she stabbed out with her sword, her body nimbly retreating. Suddenly, she chose to open up the fire piston.

Boom!" A huge fire had started around the grain and was spreading around the Violet Garden. At the same time, the Violet Garden also shouted, "Murong Xiu, I'm not willing to be your captive even if it means my death!" From the looks of his battle with Murong Xiu, it seemed that Murong Xiu really hadn't tried to kill him, or else he wouldn't be able to hold on until now. Murong Xiu's original intention was to exhaust all of the Violet Garden's inner strength, but he didn't expect for the Violet Garden to do such a thing. At that moment, Murong Xiu was panicking. As for the Violet Garden, it was enduring the purging of the flames within the bonfire.

"Zi Yuan, why do you have to go through so much trouble?" Ever since he became the Regent, he had never once had any feelings for a woman. However, when he faced Zi Yuan, his heart had always been moved, and he had always wanted to kill her in his heart. After all, this woman had caused him so much harm, but every time he had met her, he had always unconsciously softened his heart, and Murong Xiu didn't know that either.

This time, Murong Xiu also knew that the Purple Garden would probably launch a sneak attack on his army camp, and the most weak part of the camp was the grain depot. Therefore, Murong Xiu had predicted that if Purple Garden really chose to launch a sneak attack, then he could only choose this break through as well, and indeed, Murong Xiu had expected it, but the situation was different than what he had imagined. He had originally planned for Wang Huai and General Yuan to attack together and capture Purple Garden alive, but after coming here, the two of them found that capturing Purple Garden was simply impossible.

While Murong Xiu was pondering, the fire was getting fiercer and fiercer. Suddenly, Murong Xiu's eyes narrowed and he jumped out of the sea of fire. With a wave of his sword, the fire on both sides weakened by quite a bit.

When he saw that Murong Xiu had really come to save him, he didn't feel much gratitude in his heart. Instead, he was already prepared for it, and with a small hidden weapon in his hand, Murong Xiu suddenly moved to hug it, but at that moment, the look in Zi Yuan's eyes also froze, and he couldn't avoid the hidden weapon any longer. He immediately retreated backwards, but the moment he retreated, the purple garden suddenly jumped out of the fire pit, and fled backwards.

"Pfft!" Mu Rong Xiu actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

"General, are you alright?" When Wang Huai saw that Murong Xiu was injured, he immediately rushed over. General Yuan was just about to go chase after the Violet Garden, but Murong Xiu waved his hand. She'll definitely escape to the Sword Edge Mountain. After he finished speaking, Murong Xiu sat on the ground to recuperate.

Clearly, the power of the Violet Garden's hidden weapon was evident. Murong Xiu didn't say anything after he finished speaking and just focused on healing his wounds. Wang Huai also ordered the rest of them to retreat after seeing this. In the huge grain depot, only Murong Xiu was left.

After a long while, Mu Rong Xiu also recovered from his meditation. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's said that it's hard to be a hero, but I'm not a hero. Could it be that I've lost my nature because of a girl?" Mu Rong Xiu muttered to himself.

When he thought of this, Murong Xiu felt a sense of loss in his heart, but the feeling he had towards Zi Yuan grew stronger and stronger. Previously, he had only admired her skills, but now, this woman was so cold and ruthless.

"Haha, Purple Garden, oh Violet Garden, I would quite like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve. I am looking more and more forward to fighting with you again." Mu Rong Xiu suddenly stood up and laughed towards the sky. It was obvious that the Purple Garden had left a heavy mark in his heart. He naturally didn't know that the Violet Garden was currently fleeing.

At this moment, the place was indescribably desolate, and the Violet Garden had also sent out a signal for those people to come and help her. As for the Violet Garden, she was recuperating from her injuries here, and when she opened her eyes, she discovered that Zi Feng and the others were actually standing in front of her with unspeakable worry in their eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." When she saw how concerned these people were for her, Zi Yuan's tone eased up. The battle between him and Murong Xiu hadn't left her with much injuries. Merely, there was only a shortage of internal power. Thus, at that moment, the Zi Yuan had also recovered.

"Miss, it's good that you're fine." Zi Feng was momentarily relieved when he saw that the Violet Garden still appeared alive before him.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you to leave in the middle of the night? Why didn't you listen?" Zi Feng and the others kneeled down as he asked what was going on.

"This subordinate did not listen to General's instructions, please punish me!" Some people actually kneeled down in such a straight line. When the Violet Garden saw this situation, she also knew that these people were worried about her safety. For a moment, she could not blame them for anything.

"All of you get up. You can't disobey the military order next time or you will be killed without mercy!" The Violet Garden also solemnly said at the end, "I understand how concerned you all are for me, but at the same time, I also don't want you all to be like last time. Otherwise, the Violet Garden would probably feel regret day and night."

"What's the situation now?" Zi Yuan asked.

"When this subordinate saw the signal given by the general, I sent someone to deliver a letter to General Lan Cang. I believe that General Lan Cang has also received the signal and is currently rushing here." Zi Feng replied.

"Alright, I understand." In his heart, he knew that if he was unable to escape from the sword peak this time, he would eventually be surrounded and killed in this empty city. This empty city was previously the place where the Northern Desert army escorted the grain, but that time, it was occupied by Murong Xiu, so this place had also become an empty city. Now, Zi Yuan and the others were resting here, and Zi Yuan was also waiting for them.

In the northern troop camp, when Lan Cang received Violet Garden's help signal, he immediately gave out orders.

"Nangong Xiong, He Han, the two of you should quickly lead a thousand elite soldiers and set off in simple attire. We must save the Violet Garden as soon as possible." Lan Cang shouted out, trying his best to conceal the worry in his heart.

"Yes, this subordinate will definitely save General Zi Yuan." The two replied and immediately began to move.

Ever since he fought with Murong Xiu, he had discovered that sending Zi Yuan on a sneak attack was a huge mistake. He could only blame himself for not finding out that he was trying to stall for time, and Murong Xiu had also wanted to stall for time, so he let Murong Xiu take the chance to escape. However, at this moment, Zi Yuan had actually escaped, and Lan Cang was trying his best to prevent the enemy from finding him. Now, he could only wait for those people to find the Violet Garden as soon as possible.

The sword tip was still quite close to his position within the northern army camp. If his subordinates were faster, they might be able to intercept Zi Yuan and the rest before them. Right now, Murong Xiu's only thought was to capture this woman and obtain her! Conquer her!

Murong Xiu knew that he couldn't easily subdue such an outstanding woman. Helian Helian was just an example, but in Murong Xiu's eyes, even though he was an idiot in terms of relationships, no one could go against his wishes. Murong Xiu swore to capture Purple Garden because he still had an opponent with Helian He!
