Suddenly, a flying iron chain snatched Zheng Quchi as he fell off the cliff, then the chain tightened and pulled back, throwing him to the other side.
On the other side of the cliff, a nomadic barbarian army stood to the side, with Mo Ye of the Julu Kingdom standing in a row, followed by a large number of soldiers, holding the seriously injured and unconscious Zheng Quchi in his arms.
"She still owes me something very important. Once I get it, I'll give her to the Mo family. You said she killed Gongshu Lan. If I use her to negotiate with Gongshu Jiruo, I should be able to get a good price for her."
Mo Ye was deliberately provoking Yuwen Sheng. He knew that Yuwen Sheng had always wanted to win over Gongshu Jiruo of Beiyuan Kingdom, but unfortunately, Beiyuan Kingdom was the only dominant country and would never form an alliance with a small country like Ye Kingdom.
Despite the sudden turn of events, Yuwen Sheng remained calm and showed little emotion. He had originally intended to kill Sang Xuanqing, but seeing her rescued by Mo Ye at the crucial moment, he did not seem to feel much disappointment.
As he leaped onto the edge of the cliff, the Xuanjia Army behind him arrived in full formation, their steps precise and powerful.
However, the two armies gathered here and faced each other, but neither side made the first move to attack. This was because the "natural barrier" served as the boundary, with the southern side being the border of Beiyuan and the northern side being the border of Ye. Both sides remained within their respective borders and did not invade each other.
He had already put on a brand new mask, his eyes revealing indifference. He even smiled at Mo Ye's words with a hint of mockery, showing no concern whatsoever: "Is that so? But in my opinion, she probably won't even live to see that day."
Given her current severe injuries, unless the Kingdom of Julu is willing to provide a "sacred medicine" to treat her, she simply won't last that long.
"Is that so? Then just you wait and see." Mo Ye exchanged a glance with him across the abyss, uttered a harsh remark, and then turned and led his team away in a truce.
Although he burned down one of Yuwen Sheng's camps and destroyed part of the front-line defenses on this trip, he himself did not fare well either, suffering heavy losses in troops and machinery, and returned empty-handed.
After cleaning up the mess at Guixu Ridge, Fu Rong, Wei Yao, Wang Zebang, and the others rushed over.
Fu Rong had something important weighing on his mind. More anxious than anyone else, he leaped off his horse. When he saw that Sang Xuanqing was not by Yuwen Sheng's side, his heart skipped a beat.
"General...where is Sang Xuanqing?!"
Yuwen Sheng looked across at the other side and smiled gently: "Mo Ye took them away."
Fu Rong's heart tightened: "General!"
"You have something to say?" Yuwen Sheng looked at him.
Fu Rong swallowed hard. "General, may I ask you a question? Did you give away the pair of gold and jade phoenix bracelets that the old lady gave you back then?"
Yuwen Sheng did not want to discuss such private matters with outsiders, but Fu Rong's expression at this moment was really too frightened and ugly, so he said, "The Phoenix Bracelet is in my hands, and the Luan Bracelet is naturally in Madam's hands."
Upon hearing this, Fu Rong abruptly took a step back.
