However, I did not see Yu Nanqing.
At that time, Yu Nanqing mustered 30,000 troops, and Su Chien was among them.
That's why he asked Lü Cezhong today, "Did Yu Nanqing really perish in the Black Sea?"
If so, why did Su Chien appear unharmed?
Su Wanyan's eyes brightened slightly. If Si Yang could mention Su Chien in such a tone, it meant that Su Chien was alright: "It's good that he didn't cause you any trouble."
Si Yang was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Su Wanyan was thinking of this, without mentioning Yu Nanqing at all.
At this point, Si Yang was relieved: "Su Chi'en is brave in killing enemies and fearless on the battlefield. Even I am inferior to him."
Hearing someone praise Su Chien like that, Su Wanyan was naturally happy, of course, after all, he was her younger brother.
But she couldn't show it too much, so she had to be humble and said with a smile, "Not at all, compared to General Si Yang, he is far inferior."
Si Yang seemed to have seen through her thoughts and found it quite amusing.
"Then you should get some rest, I should go to sleep too," Su Wanyan said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the two armies clash, things are not all over.
The number of casualties in the military, as well as subsequent supplies and plans, are all things that need to be considered.
However, if subsequent operational plans are flawed or contain untimely errors, all previous efforts could be wasted.
After meeting with Su Chien and learning of Yu Nanqing's orders, Lü Cezhong transferred all 10,000 elite troops to the city island and deployed people to guard the area around the governor's mansion to ensure Su Wanyan's safety.
Su Chien's appearance here could not help but arouse the curiosity of the other soldiers: Where is Yu Nanqing?
Did their prince actually die?
How did Su Chien and his group manage to get through the naval fire?
Su Chien was unable to answer all the questions, and Lü Cezhong also felt that this was inappropriate, so he waved his hand to stop and told Su Chien to rest well.
The day after Feng Lingxu withdrew his troops, Lü Cezhong received news that ships transporting military supplies in the East China Sea would pass through the Chengdao River basin in the afternoon.
Lu Cezhong was overjoyed and waved his hand, ordering the ships transporting military supplies in the East China Sea to be intercepted!
Su Chien volunteered to intercept the military rations and then transport them to Chengdao Island.
Then he will have a reason to visit Su Wanyan.
Lu Cezhong did not object, so by the afternoon, the Jin army, like bandits, completely seized all sixteen grain ships from the East China Sea.
The soldiers and supervisors transporting military supplies in the East China Sea realized that something was wrong and immediately sent an urgent battle report to the imperial court when the ships were intercepted.
Meanwhile, a horrifying event occurred in Qingxuan City: all the officials in the city died tragically overnight.
An investigation revealed that all the victims were killed in one strike, with no additional wounds, demonstrating a clean and swift attack.
Judging from the stiffness of the corpses, they had been dead for at least three days, and yet no one noticed during those three days.
Yu Nanqing has already left Qingxuan City.
Xiaoshui, a sea area in the East China Sea that combines dark waters, islands, and jungles, is a place where the sea is calm during the day, making it hard to tell which way is which. However, at night the weather changes suddenly and the temperature drops sharply. If you are not prepared, it is common for people to freeze to death here.
In some places, fog lingers year-round, snakes, insects, rodents, and ants gather, poisonous creatures roam freely, and the swamp gas in the forest is even more difficult to guard against; it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a place where bones are piled up everywhere.
And these are just the tip of the iceberg. The entire sea area is vast and boundless. When ships sail into this area, the first thing they will face is the turbulent undercurrents and whirlpools.
Feng Lingxu was a native of the East Sea. He had already conquered this sea area when he was young, so surviving in the saltwater was not a difficult task for him.
Most of the soldiers in the East China Sea are able to swim, and even in the turbulent sea, they can find a relatively safe current.
At this moment, Feng Lingxu led the soldiers of the East Sea across the Nirvana Sea and landed on an island.
As soon as he stepped ashore, his eyes were filled with a gloomy and malevolent aura. He never expected that he would be forced to this point by the Great Jin Dynasty, especially on the territory of the East China Sea.
A thick fog enveloped the area, and when one looked up, all one could see was the nearest soldier.
Feng Lingxu calmed down, adjusted his breathing, and ordered: "Everyone, listen up! Rest on the Qingsang grass, find rice worms to eat to prevent the miasma on the island. Lighting fires on the island is strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this order will be punished by military law!"
When the fog rolls in on Misty Island, it becomes difficult to distinguish between day and night. When we first landed, it was roughly dusk.
Nighttime is when snakes, insects, and rodents are rampant, but the Qingsang grass can keep most poisonous creatures away.
However, the temperature here fluctuates at night, and one cannot light a fire at will, so Feng Lingxu frowned.
We came up at a really bad time; if we had come earlier, we might have been able to find a solution.
Now that the fog is thick and night is approaching, it is best not to wander around.
However, now that we're here, we're finally safe. The Jin army won't be able to catch up to Xiaoshui. Once they've rested and recuperated here, he can launch a surprise attack and annihilate the Jin army in one fell swoop.
However, just when Feng Lingxu thought everything was fine and he could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold glint suddenly flashed above the island, like a starlight, and struck straight down at Feng Lingxu.
A tremendous killing intent made Feng Lingxu's heart sink.
In an instant, a loud "bang" resounded, and the impact fell like a cannonball. Feng Lingxu stared in disbelief, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and narrowly escaped the impact.
A hurricane swirled around this point, even dispersing the surrounding mist.
Once Feng Lingxu had distanced himself, he took a closer look and a surge of anger welled up within him, causing the veins on his face to bulge with fury: "Yu, Nan, Qing!"
Yu Nanqing appeared before Feng Lingxu, holding a long sword and looking cold.
Dressed in white brocade, with flowing black hair, she was in the saltwater, yet remained perfectly clean, not a single leaf clinging to her.
He brandished his longsword, his gaze darkening slightly as he pointed directly at Feng Lingxu.
Feng Lingxu never expected Yu Nanqing to appear here: "You're still alive!"
To be precise, he didn't believe that Yu Nanqing would die just like that.
Although he led troops to intercept and kill them, Yu Nanqing's men seemed to tacitly agree and followed his plan, one by one 'dying in the Black Sea'.
Things were going so smoothly that he didn't feel like it was real at all.
but……
"How could you possibly have survived the naval flood!"
That's impossible. Even the natives of the East Sea have a slim chance of survival when they enter the saltwater. The East Sea royal family has a complete record of the saltwater, and he himself only managed to break through the saltwater step by step by following the complete record.
How could Yu Nanqing, a man from the Jin Dynasty, possibly be familiar with saltpeter water, especially when he was leading 30,000 troops!
Yu Nanqing's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He completely ignored Feng Lingxu's words and his inner strength surged in an instant. In just a moment, a cold light was already pressed against Feng Lingxu's neck!
