The situation could not have been more tense. There was even a sense of imminent danger, as if the flames of war would spread in front of everyone if they weren't careful.
Qi Yu was truly sweating on behalf of Third Prince Helian Cheng, what was Helian Cheng trying to do? It seemed that Helian Cheng's position in the imperial court was not higher than Helian Jing's, if not, their Royal Father would not abandon Helian Cheng's opinion and agree to Helian Jing's suggestion to attack Dongluo.
Since that was the case, why would Helian Cheng hold back?
Helian Jing's retort was filled with contempt and condescension, not leaving Helian Cheng the slightest bit of face. When Qi Yu heard this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Helian Cheng. That was his big brother after all.
Xiao Suyan was obviously not willing to see her husband in such an awkward position in front of so many people. She looked at Helian Cheng with tears in her eyes: "My prince, let's return to the city!"
Helian Cheng walked to the front of Xiao Suyan and slowly pulled him over. The soldiers beside Xiao Suyan did not dare to stop him and could only ask for her help.
Helian Jing frowned, and said coldly: "Return to the capital? Third Brother just set fire to them and then left, that's not appropriate, right? "
Xiao Suyan immediately turned around and asked with grievance, "What else does King Jie want?"
Helian Jing said: "Dispatching troops to attack Dongluo is Royal Father's decision, but Third Brother took bold actions to obstruct him on the day of the battle. Not only did he set fire to the officials' yamen, he even appeared in the army camp to disrupt the morale, and he did so not as an enemy to me, but as an enemy to the Royal Father! Third Sister, what do you think I should do? "
Xiao Suyan's face was ashen as she turned to Helian Cheng. With a trembling voice, she asked, "My prince, was that fire really set by you?"
"Of course not." Helian Cheng frowned, "Although I am opposed to sending out troops, but how can we set our own government officials on fire?"
"Hahahaha!" Helian Jing laughed with his head raised, "Third brother has always been magnanimous, and in the end he actually dared not admit it after doing such a thing?"
Helian Cheng said: "I did not set that fire."
Helian Jing's face darkened, he looked at Helian Cheng beside him, "Send someone to escort Prince Jing back to the capital, and let the Emperor handle the matter!"
"No!" Helian Cheng reached out to stop him, "You are the supervisor, and he is the commander. In this army camp, he has violated military law, and all of you have the authority to punish me. However, I'm not going back to the city, I want to go on an expedition with you. "
"You want to join us?" Helian Jing was obviously surprised, "You want to make a meritorious service?"
"At least, I understand Dongluo. can help. "
"But how can I trust you?"
Helian Cheng slowly pulled Xiao Suyan into his embrace and said, "My wife's life is in your hands, what else is there to worry about? If you find out where something is wrong, Royal Father will not blame you for killing us. "
Helian Jing was silent.
Helian Cheng wanted to stop Helian Jing and not bring such a disaster along, but Helian Jing had already nodded his head and said, "Alright! Di Ying, you will be responsible for the safety of Prince Jing and Princess Jing! "
Di Ying glanced at Helian Cheng and answered, "Yes, Overseer!"
That was the end of it.
They never thought that Helian Jing would actually hand Helian Cheng and his wife over to Di Ying for supervision, and that Di Ying was also one of the bodyguards or commander of the General's Estate Guard, so he was in charge of Qi Yu and his group. Thus, this imperceptibly gave Qi Yu the opportunity to get close to Helian Cheng.
Yes, Qi Yu wanted to get close to Helian Cheng.
Helian Cheng was from the Main Sect and Peace Faction, hence he was unwilling to let Eastern Barbarian fight with them. Therefore, even if Helian Cheng was friends with Dongluo, Qi Yu felt that although the Kang City would probably receive news from Jun Zibi and prepare to fight, wouldn't it be better to stop the Eastern Barbarian from sending troops?
And if she wanted to stop Eastern Barbarian from sending out troops, then she must definitely join hands with Helian Cheng. Even if she couldn't stop Helian Jing from leading the troops out, at the very least, she could help Kang City to delay the battle and give Kang City more time to prepare!
Yu Lian's fire was quickly suppressed. The fire was finally extinguished, the officers and soldiers came to report. Only then did Helian Cheng give the order to send out the troops.
The vanguard camp led the way, the commanding officer Helian Cheng and the supervising commander Helian Jing rode on a chariot and followed behind, the transport troops followed behind as per usual.
Helian Cheng and his wife were handed over to Di Ying, but Di Ying had only arranged for a few of his trusted aides to guard them. People like Jun Zibi and Qi Yu who were newly recruited as guards, didn't have the chance to get close to Helian Cheng, this important and dangerous person.
— Of course, Helian Cheng's danger was only to Helian Jing and Helian Cheng.
It was finally evening. The great army had set up camp and rested during the journey.
The army began to build a stove in a pot and start a fire to cook. Smoke slowly rose up, curving and curving, like an immortal mirror.
Helian Jing and Helian Cheng entered the command tent and Helian Cheng and his wife were left outside the tent. Di Ying glanced at them and said, "Send Prince Jing and Princess Jing into the military tent to rest! After a while, the Fire Head Battalion finished preparing the rice, and sent it over to the Prince and Princess. "
"Yes sir!"
Nearby, Qi Yu silently watched as Helian Cheng and his wife were sent into a small tent. She retracted his gaze and sat down.
Jun Zibi sat down beside her, lowered his voice, pretended to chat, and asked: "What, you have plans for him?"
That's what he said! Qi Yu glared at him, "What? "No way?"
"Close to him? "Be careful." Jun Zibi said, "They are all watching him, how can they have a chance? Let's wait for the opportunity to leave! "
"No." Qi Yu flatly refused.
Now that he was looking for an opportunity to leave, it wasn't like he didn't have any. But where to?
Chu Yixuan was already gone, she didn't even know where he should go. When she came back from her midnight dream, she couldn't resist shedding a few tears to vent his feelings. Now, Helian Cheng had appeared very well, there were actually people fighting back in the Eastern Barbarian royal family, wasn't this her ready-made alliance?
She wanted to join hands with Helian Cheng to stop this battle and save the people of these two countries from under fire and water.
After all, Chu Yixuan had come to the Kang City to protect it, even though the reason behind his visit had yet to be investigated.
"In a while, I'll find a good opportunity. Just wait for me there, I want to have a good talk with him." After Qi Yu finished speaking, she added, "Watch how I act."
"Looking at your face?" Jun Zibi moved closer to her and looked at her carefully, "Your face is dark, what does this mean?"
Damn, he really knows how to poke fun!
Qi Yu glared at Jun Zibi, "Stop with the blabbermouth, be more practical!"
Jun Zibi chuckled, he turned and looked around, and said softly: There are too many people, I don't think there is a chance!
Qi Yu looked at the small medicine bottle in her hand and said, "I have a way. In a while, when we eat, listen to my commands. "
Poison again! Jun Zibi was a little nervous, don't make this a big deal, no one could escape safely!
Bi Su sat there silently as she watched the two of them. She didn't know why, but she was happier to see Jun Zibi flirting with Qi Yu than Qi Yu.
Dongluo, Kang City.
The last rays of the setting sun were swallowed up by the darkness of the rising darkness.
Feng Qingmo, dressed in silk clothes, stood on top of the city gate tower, and looked towards the direction of the Yucai City, frowning deeply.
The person who brought about the Kang City was a young man who was nearing his prime. At this moment, he was accompanying Feng Qingmo as he wore a cautious smile on his face.
"Your Highness, the sky is already dark and we can't see anything. Why don't you go back to the government compound and have a meal first?" If you wish to inquire about the matter, your subject will do his utmost to not slack off in the slightest. "
"I'm not hungry." Feng Qingmo looked at the east side of the sky. He was worried about Qi Yu!
Xiao Ran had actually sent a few spies to the side mirror to investigate, but Dongluo people could not enter the Eastern Barbarian realm, so, it was impossible to find out what the situation was like inside the Eastern Barbarian realm.
Earlier, he had received news from Jun Zibi that he had accompanied Qi Yu to the Eastern Barbarian, but after arriving there, there was no news of their return.
So, was Jun Zibi and Qi Yu okay? Did they save Bi Su? I wonder if Eastern Barbarian is really sending troops to attack Dongluo? He did not know if Qi Yu was safe and sound in the Dongluo either. Should he save him as soon as possible, or wait for the right time and hope for Qi Yu's speedy return?
As for Chu Yixuan, he had been safe and sound throughout the journey. However, an accident actually occurred within the Kang City's borders, where he had yet to reach the Kang City.
That was still his brother! Although they were all half-brothers, and had never lived together since young, it was very strange that Feng Qingmo had a kind of natural affection for these brothers and sisters of his.
Of course, was not one of them. In order to scheme against his own brother, Chu Yiyun had done all that he could and was extremely scheming. Perhaps, this was the reason why he did not feel anything towards Chu Yixuan.
After blowing on the city gate tower for a long time, only then did Feng Qingmo, accompanied by Xiao Ran, descend from the city gate tower.
To be honest, he didn't really believe that anything would happen to Chu Yixuan. His previous interactions with Chu Yixuan made him feel that this brother of his definitely wasn't someone who could be easily tricked to death.
Chu Yixuan had hidden skills, but he also had hidden thoughts, his thoughts were meticulous. One step, ten steps. To be able to live peacefully under the covetous gaze of Crown Prince Chu Yizhao, how could he possibly die so easily?
Therefore, Feng Qingmo hoped that he did not guess wrong, and that Chu Yixuan could still live to appear in front of him. If he was to send out the troops this time, he would still need to stand shoulder to shoulder with Chu Yixuan to defend his homeland.
Suddenly, a spy rushed over, his head covered in perspiration as he half knelt in front of Xiao Ran and presented a letter, saying: "Master, there's a secret letter!"
Xiao Ran's expression immediately shook, and immediately received the letter. Just as he was about to open the letter, he suddenly thought of something and immediately passed the letter to Feng Qingmo.
Feng Qingmo waved his hand, "There's no need, I trust Master Xiao."
Xiao Ran was so grateful that he did not know what to say. He shook the letter and opened it, reading through it in ten lines, and said happily: "Your Highness, this letter was sent to me by a distant cousin of mine who was sent a pigeon. There is news about Eastern Barbarian!"
About Qi Yu?
Feng Qingmo immediately became excited: "What news?"
Xiao Ran looked at the letter again and his expression instantly became dispirited. Even his voice trembled a bit: "Eastern … Eastern Barbarian, they have really launched an army! "
