When Lian Lian Lian's figure appeared in the army camp, Lian Yan Fu felt that his eyes were playing tricks on him. After experiencing hundreds of battles, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he took off Qi Dan's clothes, raised the bundle in his hands, and shouted:
"Marshal, A-Tou got back the head of Yelu Chong Yuan."
Lian Fu abruptly regained his senses and dismounted from his horse. He excitedly walked in front of Lian Fu and held him up with both hands. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "Ah Fu, quickly get up."
"Thank you, Field Marshal!" Lian Fang looked up at his fourth uncle and finally let out a sigh of relief.
When his face appeared in front of everyone, Lian Yanfu, Feng Ye, and Feng Yu were all stunned …
"Xuan, your face …" Lian Yanfu's voice trembled.
Feng Ye and Feng Yu dismounted from their horses and walked over. Feng Yu looked ruefully at Lian Fu and asked, "What's going on?"
However, Lian Meng smiled. He did not seem to care that there was a hideous scar on his originally picturesque face.
"Your Highness, Marshal, we will speak of the rest later.
"If we attack now, my Great Zhou Empire will win without a doubt. Marshal, please give the order to start the army immediately. Arfan, familiarize yourself with the people of Chidan, and I will request you to be the right vanguard!"
Lian Yan Fu immediately returned to his horse, held his bag high and said loudly, "Warriors, listen up! Yelu's head is here, and all the food of the Chidan people has been burnt. This is all due to the work of the Art of Arcane Art!"
There was a cheer from the barracks.
"Now, this commander will give the order. Ah Fu, Wang Qin, the two of you are in the vanguard. Everyone, immediately attack the Chidan Barracks!"
"Yes sir!" Lian Meng said as he clasped his hands together.
"Kill!" Kill! Kill! "
The soldiers of the three armies raised their swords and sabers, the rising and falling sounds seemingly about to pierce through the heavens.
Under the torch, Feng Ye was quietly observing the technique. On one side, he had a savage scar on his face. On the other side, his face was like jade.
This was like a completely different person from back in the capital, when he always stuck close to the little girl. Unknowingly, he already had the courage and steadiness of a man.
He vaguely remembered the words of his mufei, the Concubine Xian. She had consecutively stamped on seven red spots in the shape of a Big Dipper. She was born with the appearance of an emperor, so no one could defeat her.
In this battle with Chidan, he had obtained the head of the great King of the south yard, Yelu's head, he had burnt their provisions, and now he was leading the vanguard, he had done a great service. Once he returned to the capital, in terms of rewards, he would be as famous as the Xiao He of the past!
Lian Fu, you know your own identity. You are a prince, but do you really have no intentions for the throne?
"Eighth royal brother, what are you thinking about?" Feng Yu turned his head and asked when he saw Feng Ye's thoughtful expression again.
Feng Ye looked in the direction of the technique. "I'm looking at the technique."
Feng Yu's face revealed an expression of both admiration and sorrow as he said, "The Consecutive Formula was truly beyond my expectations. In my impression, he was only a handsome and innocent youth; I didn't expect that in just half a year, he had already trained to such an extent. In the future, he would definitely become a great person!"
"There's no need to wait for the future, it's the present." As Feng Ye spoke, he kicked the horse's belly and drew his long sword from his waist, preparing to fight a battle to the death with Chi Dan.
Feng Yu looked at Feng Ye's back and suddenly felt that he had something on his mind.
In this battle, the Chidans had lost the King of the Southern Courtyard, and their provisions had been burnt, and their morale had been sapped. The Great Zhou quickly attacked, and soon they were defeated.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights. The hundred thousand soldiers of the Chidan army were all captured, and the Queen Rene, the Queen Mother of the Great King Yeru of the Southern Courtyard, personally issued a peace request and a surrender letter. Only then did the fierce battle between the two sides come to a halt.
Later on, Feng Yu accepted the letter from Empress Yi, and the two parties signed a contract with the Mountain Customs Union. The contract stipulated that the Chidan would be given to the Zhou Empire for a large amount of silver and horses every year, and that the neighboring cities would be given to the Zhou Empire for ownership.
Empress Yi didn't raise any objections. In the end, she only made a request to take back the head of Yeru Zhong Yuan, to leave him with a complete corpse and return the Core Pill to his grave. Feng Ye agreed, and had Lian Fu deliver the head to him.
Empress Yi received the bloody bundle with both hands, but her face remained expressionless. She only gave her head to the maid behind her. Before she left, she gave Lian Fu an indifferent look. Her lips curved into a faint, indiscernible smile.
The soldiers came forward, and threw him high into the air, while shouting a chant and a chant. It was also at this moment that everyone realized that he was actually the eldest son of the Prime Minister Manor, and thus, the admiration for him increased even further. Huang Yan, who lived with him, was both happy and perturbed as he said:
"Ah, no! Young Master, you are not the son of an ordinary family. I will not hold back when you cook for me. Last time you returned me, you …"
Lian Meng patted him on the shoulder and said in a clear voice, "Huang Yan, I will always be a lackey. Don't think of me as someone else."
Huang Yan embarrassedly touched his head.
At this time, Lian Yenfu, Feng Ye, and Feng Yu finally had a chance to listen to Lian Fang's narration of what happened after he disappeared. Lian Yenfu's military tent was filled with descriptions of how he had snuck into the Chidan Barracks to replace that soldier, Hong Gu, and then, in order not to be recognized, he destroyed his own face and covered most of his face with gauze. He quietly knocked out a few people who knew him, removed them without anyone noticing.
That night, he sprinkled the prepared oil all around the rations and burned the rations. Taking advantage of the chaos, he sneaked into the soldier's tent and chopped off the head of Yelu, who was in the middle of fishing, then fled the Chidan Barracks with his head.
In order to not be recognized so quickly, he had been wrapped in gauze all this time. The scars on his face had expanded to the point that every day, the itching was unbearable. He could only sprinkle a handful of salt on himself to stop it.
After hearing what he had said, there were hot tears in his aged eyes. He looked at Lian Fu's half-ruined face and felt gratified at Lian Fu's boldness and wisdom, but also sad at the same time …
Lian Meng was such a good-looking person. He was in a great mood after seeing him so pleasing to the eyes, but now, this half of his face … He felt a lump in his throat, a deep sadness.
