Three days later, an urgent message came from the border gate within 800 miles, saying that the Northern Border King Baili Xuance had assembled an army of 500,000 to attack the border.
The generals leading the troops were the eldest prince of the northern border, Baili Qianhan, and the third prince, Baili Hongyu.
The atmosphere in the court was unprecedentedly tense. There were only 200,000 Xiao family soldiers guarding the border, 100,000 of whom were at Nanwu Pass and 100,000 at Chaoyang Pass.
The war in the north started five days ago. The north is coming with great force, and I’m afraid that Nanwu Pass can no longer be defended!
Xiao Shujin was still accompanying his wife to visit her grandmaster when he was urgently summoned into the palace by the emperor. Yan Meng was very worried, but she knew that she should get used to this kind of life since the day she married him.
There are still 200,000 troops in the east suburb camp outside the city, and 150,000 troops in the west suburb camp.
The emperor ordered the prince to lead an army of 200,000 to the northern border, transfer 150,000 to the eastern suburbs and 50,000 to the western suburbs camp, and set off in two days.
Xiao Shujin will take 50,000 people from Xijiao to the border early tomorrow morning.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and many passionate young men wanted to join the army.
The Ministry of War also issued a notice to recruit soldiers, and a large number of new soldiers were being recruited all over the country.
The next day, the Feng family was still having breakfast when the second brother Feng Hao and the third brother Feng Chen returned from the academy.
As soon as they entered the house, they knelt on the ground and said, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, my third brother and I want to join the army. I hope you will agree!"
The whole family was stunned. Old Man Feng said, "You are still young. Can you go in two years? Grandpa knows that you two have always liked practicing martial arts, but you are still young."
"Grandpa, we've all grown up and we want to join the army. Please help me and my third brother. We've already discussed it."
Fengjiu also guessed that her two brothers would go, but she didn't know whether their family would agree.
Old Man Feng sighed: "Have you thought it through?"
The two responded in unison: "Grandpa, we've figured it out!"
My eldest and second uncles didn't say anything, but my aunt and second aunt's eyes were red.
Old Man Feng's face was full of reluctance. He closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I agree, but you must come back safely. No matter what, you must come home alive."
The whole family was in an atmosphere of separation. Feng Jiu thought for a long time. There were so many modern weapons in the space. The North was coming with great force. What if Nan Li was defeated? She had finally had such a good family. She couldn't let anyone destroy it.
After thinking about it, she decided to go too, but her family would definitely not agree, so she had to find a way to hide it from them.
She teleported to Prince Chen's Mansion and told Nangong Beichen that she wanted to go to the border. Nangong Beichen did not object, but told Fengjiu that neither of them could use magic to kill people, and these people were not bandits who killed and ate human flesh.
Soldiers are ordinary people, and if the monks kill them, they will suffer backlash.
Feng Jiu also knew this truth. She didn't need magic, but she had weapons. She could also teach modern medical skills to the military doctors. With the spiritual spring water in her space, she could save people as long as they were not dead at the time.
So, she had to go this time, but she didn't know how to tell her family.
He quickly returned to his room and thought for a long time before he came up with a solution that was not a solution. He then quickly went to Prince Chen's Mansion and told Nangong Beichen about his plan. Nangong Beichen was a little hesitant, but agreed.
In the afternoon, Fengjiu used magic in the garden and suddenly fell to the ground and vomited blood in front of her grandparents, which scared the two elders.
They asked the servants to quickly invite Feng Lao Si back home. Zhao was pregnant now, and the old couple did not dare to tell her, so they had to ask the servants in the house to keep it a secret.
After returning home, Feng Lao Si ran straight to his parents' yard. Seeing his motionless daughter, Feng Lao Si was at a loss. He took out the pill from the ring space and stuffed it into Feng Jiu's mouth.
Seeing that it had no effect at all, Feng Laosi was almost going crazy, and Feng Jiu was also distressed, so she had no choice but to lie to her family.
Old Man Feng thought that Nangong Beichen was also a cultivator, and wondered if he would have a solution. Old Man Feng also thought of this.
Holding Fengjiu, he went to Prince Chen's Mansion. When he saw Nangong Beichen, Feng Laosi said, "Achen, come and take a look. What happened to Nannan? Why is she vomiting blood and unconscious?"
Nangong Beichen: "Uncle Feng, don't be anxious. Put down the wine and let me see what's wrong with her."
Feng Lao Si placed Feng Jiu on the small step. Nangong Beichen used his spiritual power to move Feng Jiu's body. He looked at Feng Lao Si and said, "Uncle Feng, Jiu'er has gone astray and needs to go into seclusion for a while. She has just advanced and hasn't consolidated her cultivation yet."
"When will she wake up?"
Nangong Beichen took out a cup of spiritual liquid from the space and gave it to Fengjiu to drink. Fengjiu woke up after a while.
Seeing his daughter wake up, Feng Laosi burst into tears and hugged Feng Jiu, his body trembling.
This made Fengjiu feel heartbroken, but she had no choice but to do it. She pretended to be weak and called out "Daddy."
Feng Lao Si: "Nannan, are you still feeling unwell? Tell Daddy how you became possessed?"
Feng Jiu: "Dad, I've already reached the second level of the Nine Heavens Star Art. I need to go into seclusion for a period of time to consolidate it. I couldn't bear to leave you and my family, so I didn't go into seclusion. That's why I went astray."
Feng Lao Si asked: "Can it be cured by seclusion?"
"Well, if I had just advanced, I would have only needed to retreat for half a month, but I've delayed for so long, I'll probably have to retreat in the space for two or three months."
Feng Lao Si: "Then why didn't you tell Daddy? Are you trying to scare him to death? Now as long as I retreat, everything will be fine, right?"
Fengjiu nodded: "Yes, Daddy."
Feng Lao Si: "Then quickly go into seclusion!"
Fengjiu: "I can't bear to leave my father to stay in seclusion for such a long time."
Feng Lao Si said unhappily, "Nannan's health is the most important thing. She'll be well in two or three months anyway. Daddy and Mommy are waiting for you to come out of seclusion."
Feng Jiu nodded, and Nangong Beichen followed Feng Jiu and the others back to the Marquis' Mansion. Feng Lao Si told his family that Feng Jiu was going to go into seclusion, and his family members looked at Feng Jiu with heartache.
Feng Jiuhao comforted her family, and Nangong Beichen also said that it was okay and he would protect her in the space.
Only then did the Feng family feel at ease to let Feng Jiu enter the space.
The two men put an invisibility talisman on their bodies and went to the palace, telling the emperor that they also wanted to go to the border.
Let the emperor help cover for the two of them, and the news on the border must be kept secret from the Feng family.
The emperor promised the two that he would take good care of the Feng family after they left. The two brought all fifty secret guards from Prince Chen's mansion into the space.
Nangong Beichen also asked the emperor for four female secret guards. He knew that Feng Jiu was most worried about Zhao, so he sent these four female secret guards to Zhao to protect her.
Fengjiu: "Achen, thank you."
Nangong Beichen: "I should be the one thanking you, Jiu'er, don't think too much, we will be back as soon as possible."
Feng Jiu and the other person used teleportation directly, and after four teleportations they arrived at Nanwu Pass on the border, which was the military camp where Feng Jiu and the others had come last time.
