In just one night, Xiao Shan Pass had been captured. Whether it was the Jade Gate Pass or the Sword Pavilion's reinforcements, even if they received the news, they would not be able to make it in time.
Everything happened too quickly. No one would have thought that in just one night, the Xiao Shan Pass that had never changed hands had already changed its owner.
Qin Tianxiong hadn't expected this outcome. When the sky began to brighten, he left the battlefield and brought his men to Blazing Flame Territory to clear out the bandits.
Xiao Shan Pass had been lost. Before he left, Zhong Ao Shuang had used Hai Dongqing to send a message to him. At that time, his heart was filled with shock.
"Tuoba Fei, are you really such an outstanding man? All of this … was it all part of your plan? If that's the case, why did you send Sulu Mountain to the north? How much do you know about what Solu Lianshan did? Or was this your plan? "
He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. If all of this was part of Tuoba Fei's scheme, then how could Great Kang be part of it?
"Father, could you see through what's behind all this?"
"Vanguard is truly scheming, scheming, and scheming too much. These damned criminals and bandits, it's better to kill them than to exhaust them. Vanguard is truly worthy of his reputation as a famous general, he has the grace of the Marquis."
He also had subordinates and trusted aides, generals and family generals that he had brought from the capital, but what he wanted to do now, even these people did not dare to let them know the slightest bit.
"The Sword Pavilion and the Jade Gate Pass are keeping an eye on each other. If you have any news, report as soon as possible."
"Yes, this lowly general obeys."
After Xiao Shan Pass was lost, the Sword Tower was immediately besieged. After a few twists and turns, the Sword Tower was in danger and wanted to rush to the Jade Gate Pass and Grand Kang.
"What? Xiao Shan Pass is lost?"
Qin Feng's expression changed, and astonishment appeared on his face. In an instant, he regained his calm and explained the situation in detail.
This news had come from his son, Qin Tianxiong. At this moment, Qin Tianxiong had no choice but to retreat to the vicinity of Jade Gate Pass and confront the bandits.
"Was it King Lou Lan who attacked the Sword Tower?"
Qin Tianxiong fell into deep thought. He did not think that the words of Zhong Ao Shuang that no reinforcements would come from the Sword Pavilion ever would be like this.
"Does King Lou have a grudge with Great Moon? How is it possible that he will ally with Great Moon's branch this time around? What's the trick behind that?"
He received the secret letter from Zhong Ao Shuang, telling him to step back little by little as he approached the jade door, giving way to a place near the Xiao Shan Pass. In fact, Qin Tianxiong had no choice but to retreat as well. After Xiao Shan's Mountain Pass was lost, he was in an extremely awkward situation. Behind him was King Lou Lan's men, who were besieging the Sword Tower as they approached them.
If it was too far away from the Jade Gate Pass, his army would not be able to support them, and they would be facing enemies from the front and back, surrounded by enemies from all sides.
The fall of Xiao Shan and the siege of the Sword Pavilion had turned the entire situation in the northern border upside down. The criminals and bandits had rushed up and occupied the advantageous position, communicating and joining forces with each other with the intent of establishing a firm foothold in the northern border. Some went to King Lou Lan, some secretly went to the Great Moon Sect, and there were even more sandstorms that went to the pass of Xiao Shan.
"Tuoba Fei, right now, Xiao Shan's pass is in the hands of the sandstorm. I want to see how he will control both the sandstorm and Xiao Shan's. "And King Lou, that is not something you can control. You went through so much trouble to complete this plan, but I didn't see how much benefit you could get from it."
Qin Tianxiong analyzed the situation doubtfully for a long time, but he still didn't understand what Tuoba Fei meant. He also didn't get an answer when he asked Zhong Ao Shuang.
It wasn't that ZhongAo Shuang was intentionally keeping it a secret, but rather, he was concealing some secret. ZhongAo Shuang didn't know how much, and could only guess.
The situation worsened day by day, and Qin Feng was not without worries. Xiao Shan Pass being robbed had cut off the connection with the Sword Pavilion. The Sword Pavilion was besieged, and all the needs of the Jade Gate Pass would be unable to be transported to this place. Under normal circumstances, he would have been able to nurture his troops through battle and plunder the Western Region's Huns outside the Jade Gate Pass. However, the vast lands outside the Jade Gate Pass was now owned by the Great Kang. Although they were farming in the middle of the month, according to the harvest, they would receive a certain amount of crops and taxes. However, since spring had just begun, the world outside the barrier was still freezing.
It was impossible for them to send troops to the Great Moon Branch. The alliance between Da Kang and the branch was now unbreakable. On the other hand, the troop that Da Yue used, Lou Lan, spread the news and conquered Lou Lan's territory, gradually approaching Lou Lan's imperial city.
Of course, no one knew that all of this was part of Lou Lan's and the Great Moon Sect's scheme. There was no war, there had never been a war, and those cities and achievements were only secretly ordered by Lou Lan to give up defending.
However, it was a long journey. It was hard for Qin Feng to find out what the war between the Great Moon Sect and Lou Lan was like. He was thousands of miles away, separated by a large moon. He had no way of obtaining any conclusive information, and all of this information was passed into his hands through Zhong Ao Shuang. The results could be imagined.
What Qin Feng knew was what Tuoba Fei had told him. Tuoba Fei did not want Qin Feng to know. Would Qin Feng be able to find out from other sources?
"What is King Lou doing?"
Qin Tianxiong stood in front of Zhong Ao Shuang, his eyes staring straight at her. He could not see through this person, this person who had done great deeds throughout the ages.
"How would I know anything about King Lou Lan?"
Zhong Ao Shuang smiled, "The Princess has already departed from Great Wings City and is heading towards the northern border. Perhaps, before long, you will be able to meet her highness."
"Why are you doing this? Is it for the princess? "
"You don't need to know this, nor do you need to be jealous. What I am willing to do for the princess is my own affair."
ZhongAo Shuang lazily leaned against the thick fur. He still didn't like the cold weather. The wind of early spring was like a sharp knife.
"Princess, if you go to the north, will Prince Xian of the Left come as well?"
"Of course, Your Highness, escort the princess to the northern border."
"Why is Tuoba Fei doing this? What does he want to do? "
"Please ask Prince Xian of the Left this question."
"I can see Tuoba Fei?"
"Didn't you always want to see Prince Xian of the Left? I think Prince Xian of the Left would also like to see you. "
"Will Tuoba Fei allow the princess to meet with me?"
It was not as if he did not understand who the true master of the Great Moon Branch was. As such, he had doubts in his heart. What was the relationship between Prince Xian of the Left, who had facilitated all this, and the beauty in his heart?
He did not dare to ask or think. Every time he thought about it, his heart would ache.
"Do you want to see the Prince?"
"I only want to see the princess."
