The battle between the North and the West had finally broken through. According to the secret report sent by Zi Yuan, Helian found a way to defeat the Heaven Armored Soldiers. He successfully repelled the guards of the Heaven Armored Soldiers, and then left two cities in the west.

However, Xi Li soon had a new countermeasure. It was a formation formed by the Heaven Armored Soldiers. Tang Ao had already become the Great General of the Celestial Armored Soldiers in the Western Front. He used the scripture Murong Xiu had taught him as well as the Miracle Door Escape Armor he had learned. He set up many unique formations and played around with the Helian army.

When Zi Yuan received the report from the capital of the Northern Yue City, he was extremely anxious. However, this sort of spirit formation was extremely difficult for the Violet Garden. She knew that Murong Xiu must have been familiar with these things since he was still in the palace. That was because the secret mechanism of his courtyard was none other than the Mysterious Gate Escape Armor. However, she knew that it was impossible for Murong Xiu to teach her anything. Even though Murong Xiu hadn't told her anything, Zi Yuan understood that she and Murong Xiu had once again returned to the position of enemies ever since Feng Lingxue had arrived at the palace.

Suddenly, she thought that perhaps Feng Lingxue also understood formations! It was just that Feng Lingxue and Murong Xiu had been busy lately. He wondered if Feng Lingxue had formed an alliance with Murong Xiu.

Thinking this way, she unconsciously walked into the west hall where Feng Lingxue was resting. Sure enough, Murong Xiu was playing Go with her again, and when he saw her enter, he called out to her as well. Zi Yuan quickly waved his hand and said, "It looks like even the almighty Empress Zi Yuan doesn't know how to play chess!"

Zi Yuan did not reply. Instead, it was Feng Lingxue who smiled modestly at her, "I still remember that last time, Snow tried to play Go with Empress Zi Yuan, but the Queen taught her a new game, which seems to be called the Grand Adventurer's Heart. This game is very popular amongst Xue's concubines right now!"

When Murong Xiu heard this, he immediately put down the chess piece in his hands and asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'a true, true, true, and great adventure'?"

Zi Yuan was unwilling to answer. He picked up a Go Go and asked, "Do you play Go?"

"What is a five?" The two Purple Garden's number one and number two's were like curious babies as they surrounded the Purple Garden and asked.

Zi Yuan gestured for them to put the chess pieces on the board before taking out Blackie. "Blackie, come down first."

"Oh, just like Go." Mu Rong Xiu said from the side.

"Don't interrupt!" Zi Yuan rolled her eyes at Murong Xiu before placing Bai Zi next to Hei Zi. "Usually, Bai Zi will continue to do that."

"Yeah, it's still very similar to Go. This is what it looks like." Mu Rong Xiu interrupted him once again.

"I told you not to interrupt!" Zi Yuan raised his sword. Murong Xiu quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, I won't say anymore."

"If Hei Zi were to become two now, then if Bai Zi didn't stop him at this time and chose to become two instead, then Hei Zi could become three again. Normally, when the opposing side had three pieces in a row, we would have to block them. When the other side had three pieces in a row, we would have to block them. "If we didn't stop them when they made three pieces in a row, you guys see, that would have happened." Zi Yuan arranged Blackie into three rows, Bai Zi also into three rows, and then placed another Blackie next to Blackie, "Look, Blackie has now become four consecutively. If Bai Zi tried to block them at this time, then under Blackie's lead, Blackie will directly put them here, and now that's five consecutively, Hei Zi will win."

"Does that mean whoever wins after taking five consecutive victories?" The young duke of Dongping Kingdom, Feng Lingxue, was truly a smart person. Listening to Violet Garden's explanation, he understood the crux of the Go.

"That's right!" Zi Yuan put the chess piece back. "How about this? Do you want a plate?"

"Alright, alright!" Murong Xiu rubbed his fists together.

"The three of us will be matched in black and white first." Violet Garden commanded.

"What do you mean by black and white?" The two of them continued to not understand.

"It means the back of the hand. The three of us will strike the heart or the back of the hand at the same time. If one of us attacks the heart, the other two will strike the back."

"If it's the back of one's hand, what about the other two?" Mu Rong Xiu asked.

"Of course it's still the victory of that hand."

"What about the winner?" Mu Rong Xiu asked again.

"Play black, and then the two remaining stone scissors. The winner will play white, and the loser will watch from the side."

"Then, what is it again? What about the stone shears …" Murong Xiu and Feng Lingxue didn't understand again.

"This is a rock," Violet Garden clenched her hand into a fist. "This is a scissors …" She stretched out her index finger and middle finger. "This is the cloth." She then extended her palm, "The stone wins the scissors, the scissors win the cloth, and the stone wins the paper. Do you understand? "

The winter rain started to fall. In the Western Palace, Murong Xiu and Feng Lingxue had reached the back of their hands at the same time and the Violet Garden had reached the palm. Thus, Zi Yuan was the first to obtain the right to be in charge of matters of the underworld. Afterwards, Zi Yuan stood at the side to supervise the two of them using the stone scissors, but after three rounds, the two who had just learned the exact same gesture. Thus, another round came. This time, it was Feng Lingxue who used the scissors to win against Murong Xiu.

Murong Xiu shrugged and expressed his helplessness. He stood to the side and watched as Zi Yuan and Feng Lingxue played Go.

Even though this was the first time Feng Lingxue played Go, it was obvious that he had already memorized the mechanism that Zi Yuan previously told him about. As a result, half of the Go board was quickly taken up by the two players, and the outcome of the game was still unknown. Zi Yuan felt that this Feng Lingxue was really smart. Presumably, the Go was also very good. If that was the case, he might really know about the formations and stuff like that.

However, Zi Yuan was still slightly better than Feng Lingxue. Murong Xiu couldn't wait to fight with Zi Yuan. However, he didn't last as long as Feng Lingxue. The chessboard was half full, and Murong Xiu was defeated. Zi Yuan was tired, so he asked the two who had just learned Go to play. In his heart, he began to think about how he would explain it to Feng Lingxue. It was just that the three of them played a whole afternoon of five pieces, and Zi Yuan did not find the right opportunity.

During dinner time, the palace maid reported an urgent matter and Zi Yuan left in a hurry. Murong Xiu stopped the chess piece and said faintly, "Looks like the situation at the front line has changed …"

Feng Lingxue narrowed her eyes and said: "You should be very happy now, right?"

"Sigh, I can't say. However, it seems that there's no good food or wine today." Mu Rong Xiu said, "I won."

Feng Lingxue took a glance and said: "The schemer is indeed a schemer."

The two put away their chess pieces once again and began to play Go. Just as they played a third of the game, Zi Yuan angrily ran in with his subordinates.

"Tie Murong Xiu up for me." A few iron chains quickly landed on Murong Xiu's body. Murong Xiu didn't avoid her and allowed her to tie him up.

"Feng Lingxue, if you bring me to the frontline with Mu Rong Xiu, then I'll add you to the three year agreement we signed with you before the Northern Vietnam War." Zi Yuan handed a treasured sword to Feng Lingxue.

Murong Xiu had a complicated expression on his face as he watched Feng Lingxue silently receive the treasured sword. It seemed that she had tacitly accepted this promise. He smiled bitterly and said, "Are you really afraid that I would run away?"

"I don't dare to kill you right now, but I have a way to make your life worse than death." Someone come! "

Immediately, someone came up and poured a bowl of black soup into Murong Xiu's mouth.

Mu Rong Xiu had no choice but to drink the soup as he asked angrily, "What are you giving me to drink?!"

Zi Yuan didn't say anything. He just called for Feng Lingxue and Murong Xiu. The three of them got into a simple and unadorned carriage. Zi Yuan drove them all the way out of the palace at lightning speed.

Just now, Zi Yuan had received an urgent report saying that the 100,000 elite soldiers under He Lian's command had been depleted by the Heaven Armored Soldiers by 30,000. Now, the 70,000 elite soldiers had vanished without a trace at the Western Paradise Mountain, and the fate of Helian Lie was unknown!

From the perspective of the Violet Garden, it was obvious that Helian and the troops he led had fallen into Tang Ao's trap, which was why they lost contact with the others. They, the Northern Yue, were not an incompetent mutant and were incapable of solving this kind of formation. And since Tang Ao's idol, Murong Xiu, was in Zi Yuan's hands, she could only save Helian by bringing him to Tang Ao. As for calling him Feng Lingxue, it was because he wanted to use the power of Dong Ping or Feng Lingxue to restrain Murong Xiu.

This time, the original intention was to directly go find Tang Ao, so the Violet Garden originally didn't plan to bring anyone with them, so they directly sent three people over. Speaking of which, since she knew that the one who had been peeping in the Northern Yue Palace was Feng Lingxue, Zi Yuan understood in her heart that Helian had always said that he felt that Feng Lingxue liked her. Thus, she could not help but want to use Feng Lingxue at this critical juncture.

Along the way, Zi Yuan changed horses every time he saw a relay station. After changing who knows how many horses, they finally approached Hibiscus Mountain.

"Tang Ao's troops are over at Hibiscus Mountain." The three of them stopped at the foot of the mountain.

"The fog here is so thick all year round, what a natural barrier." Feng Lingxue exclaimed in admiration, "Even if they didn't use a formation, it would still be quite difficult to cross this mountain and attack the city on the other side."

"Therefore, it's not that simple for you to take us down from the north. The place where we leave from the west is very steep and easy to defend and attack, but not easy to reach. It's not just us at the Hibiscus Mountains." Mu Rong Xiu spoke with a bit of pride.

"The key is that this mountain range is vast and endless. With seventy thousand soldiers lost within, it will be quite troublesome to search for them." Feng Lingxue said, "How about I get someone to help?"

"Murong Xiu, is there a way to get to Furong City without climbing over the mountain?" Zi Yuan asked.

"Yes, you did. Three days ago, when we passed by the locust tree, I told you to go to the other side, but didn't you refuse?" With his hands tied behind his back, Murong Xiu leaned against the carriage as he replied in a casual manner.

It was true that Mu Rong Xiu had made this suggestion three days ago, but she was in a hurry to get to the Hibiscus mountain and didn't listen to his suggestion at all. However, if she were to return to the locust tree now, she would have to waste three more days of time. She pondered for a moment, then said, "We'll go straight to the Hibiscus mountain.

"Erm, Zi Yuan, why don't you wait a bit and I'll call for some helpers?" Feng Lingxue took out a very thin bamboo tube from her sleeve, and after pulling the lead wire from the edge, a high signal flare emerged from the tube.
