Chapter 92: Missing Now he is missing on the battlefield, whether he is alive or dead...
After the September 10th Festival, winter begins.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Three months earlier, she had left Beijing for a distant snow-capped mountain, now residing near its summit. Whenever the snow fell heavily, all traces of her presence were completely obscured.
Inside, dry wood burned beneath the stove, and the wine atop it was already boiling. Mu Xingchen calmly watched the falling snow outside the door, occasionally sipping a sip of warm wine. Days like these were comforting and unusually peaceful.
But just because it's quiet here doesn't mean it's quiet outside.
Mu Xingchen looked at the envelope that had been opened on the table for a long time, his eyes dark and without any emotion.
Xiao Qi kept chattering in the bracelet, "Are you really not going to take care of Xingchen? He's in trouble now. If you go, maybe he can still have a chance of survival."
Mu Xingchen lowered his head and looked at the writing on the table.
This letter was sent by Mo Fei. Two months ago, the Yuegan Clan and the human race went to war. They tore off their disguises in one fell swoop, infiltrated and took control of half of Xiyao. Many wealthy businessmen and officials suddenly revealed their identities as Yuegan Clan and used strong means to firmly control the city in their own hands.
But this is not the key point. The most important thing is that the news of Xiao Su's sudden death suddenly came from the border, and the previously dead General Mo Fei suddenly resurrected and joined the Yuegan tribe.
After this news broke, the human race lost much of their fighting spirit and was filled with panic. The Yuegan Clan was even more victorious, with the battlefield now moving to Nanshao and approaching Kyoto.
A month ago, Mo Fei wrote to say that Xiao Su and Feng Xue grew up together in the Colosseum and had a special bond. However, at the age of ten, they were each sold by a dealer and have been missing ever since. Xiao Su has been searching for Feng Xue for years, but has yet to find any news. Feng Xue, on the other hand, has always known Xiao Su's identity but has avoided him.
Two months ago, Feng Xue risked his life alone by invading Xiao Su's army. During that time, everyone was saying that Xiao Su had met his beloved woman and was waiting to marry her after the war. But a month later, he died in the army, poisoned. Mo Fei said that the two of them had feelings for each other, but unfortunately, their positions were different.
Xiao Su is not dead, Hong Guang is not broken. After Xiao Su's death, Feng Xue also disappeared, and the people sent by Li Jing have not found her trace so far.
The content of today's letter was about Li Jing's disappearance, which was a completely different situation from a month ago.
Li Jing accidentally contracted the poison while fighting with the great ancestor of the royal family. Now he is missing on the battlefield and his life or death is unknown.
Mo Fei said that the remaining poison she had applied before had not been completely cleared.
Mu Xingchen looked at the letter on the table calmly, without any expression. After a moment, she turned her head in a daze and looked at the pot of wine burning on the stove.
"Xiao Qi, I just made this wine." She began to probe the demonic spirit within her once more, but the demonic spirit that used to surge through her body was now completely silent. The demonic spirit had been surging within her for a while now, and now that it was quiet, she was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Without waiting for Xiao Qi to answer, Mu Xingchen said calmly: "It's too late to drink this wine, why not give it to today's wind and snow."
At this moment, a cold wind blew, the fire on the stove was extinguished, the letter on the table was blown into the air, and the person in the house disappeared.
Three days later.
Mu Xingchen came to Nanshao Pass. She stood under the city gate in the wind and snow and looked at the two big words "Nan Shao" hanging on the city gate.
She arrived at the right time. Right now, the two armies were facing each other.
The imperial family had now sent Li Yan to guard Nanshao Pass. Nanshao Pass's importance was self-evident; if it were breached, the enemy would advance directly into Kyoto and achieve complete victory. However, the Yuegan Clan's commander was Mo Fei, General Mo Fei, who had become famous throughout Xiyao at the age of fifteen.
Li Yan was always her defeated opponent before, and now he is no exception.
Mu Xingchen looked up at the top of the city wall.
Li Yan shouted from above, "A Fei, I've been avoiding you all these days. But now, in Nan Shao, I won't give in anymore. I know you hate me, but as long as you come back, I can do whatever you want. Now that the evildoer of the Yuegan Clan is dead, the Yuegan Clan is doomed. You are still a human being, and you can't be confused with them. A Fei, as long as you come back, I will forgive everything!"
At this moment, Mo Fei was leading his army thousands of meters away from the city wall.
She had a calm expression on her face while riding the horse. She was wearing a plain dress with a red silk tied in her hair. Apart from that, there was no other color on her body. However, this plain and simple outfit made people unable to take their eyes off her.
Mo Fei looked at Li Yan on the city wall, with a rare look of disgust and aversion in his eyes.
Her eyes turned red as she shouted, "You can ask me to stop attacking the city, but if you, the Li royal family, die as an apology and give justice to the Mo family, I will stop immediately."
Li Jing's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and his fists were clenched so tightly that veins bulged.
"A Fei! Even if there was a misunderstanding about what happened back then, I will report this to my father and I will definitely give General Mo justice! General Mo dedicated his entire life to his country and his people, devoting himself to his death. But if he knew that his daughter betrayed her clan, betrayed the people, and turned against Yue Gan, how heartbroken he would be in the afterlife!!! Now the people are saying that the Mo family's reputation was ruined by you. How could you bear to see those people trapped in the flames of war and bloodshed!!!"
Mo Fei's lips curled up coldly.
The deputy general on the side shouted, "You're talking nonsense! In these days, we haven't harmed any innocent people in any of the cities we have captured! We, the Yuegan Clan, don't want to exterminate your race, and we have never slaughtered people! We just want a safe place to live, and we just want to live in equality! What have we done wrong? You princes and nobles, because you are dissatisfied with your positions and have been usurped, have been trying to kill us, the Yuegan Clan, all these years and will not stop until we have wiped out everyone! Today, we will capture Nanshao! Trampling the Imperial City!"
"Conquer Nanshao! Trampling the Imperial City!"
"Conquer Nanshao! Trampling the Imperial City!"
"Conquer Nanshao! Trampling the Imperial City!"
…
Li Yan sneered: "Now that Li Jing is gone, I want to see how you guys attack!"
After saying that, he flew down from the city wall and headed straight towards Mo Fei at an extremely fast speed.
"Martial law!" the deputy general exclaimed immediately.
Mo Fei looked at Li Yan indifferently, without any expression.
Just when Li Yan was about to touch the corner of Mo Fei's clothes, there was a "bang" and a huge spiritual power came towards him from behind.
Li Yan failed to dodge in time and was hit by the palm.
"Puff!" He was beaten miserably in the army, and spat out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth.
The generals on the city wall watched this scene with their eyes wide open, and cried out heartbreakingly: "Your Highness!!!"
Li Yan raised his hands and turned his head sharply. The moment he saw Mu Xingchen, his pupils trembled and he exclaimed, "How... is this possible!!!"
Everyone on the city wall also stared with wide eyes.
"How is that possible! Is that person Mu Qing?"
"Like, no, that's not right! It's her!"
"Her cultivation is truly at the level of the Burning Soul Mirror!!! No, more than that, her cultivation is even higher than the Burning Soul Mirror!!!"
"She's not a waste!"
"It's over, it's over now! Your Highness Prince Yan is blind!!!"
…
Mu Xingchen slowly put away the umbrella. She looked at Mo Fei, who immediately kept his composure, and said calmly, "Did you know I would come?"
Mo Fei nodded, and she smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see, Miss Mu."
Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "It's been a long time." Then she looked at the deputy general beside her.
Xu Cen, standing by, was both excited and angry. He clenched his fists, but finally compromised and said, "Miss Mu."
Mu Xingchen nodded, "Are you attacking the city today?"
Xu Cen nodded: "That's the plan."
Mu Xingchen looked at Mo Fei and said with a mocking smile, "You've brought me here at this time, it's not just about Li Jing's disappearance, is it?"
Mo Fei's expression instantly turned serious. She said in a deep voice, "It's impossible for a royal ancestor to make him disappear." She raised her eyes to look at Mu Xingchen and said cautiously, "Miss Mu, the Qingfeng clan has taken action."
The smile on Mu Xingchen's lips disappeared instantly, "So, it was directed at me."
Xu Cen dismounted, half-knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth, "Miss Mu, please save our master. The master fell into the trap because Qingfeng deliberately leaked the news about you."
Mu Xingchen raised her hand to let him stand up. She asked, "What did they ask for?"
Mo Fei said coldly, "Two people came from Qingfeng this time, Qingfeng Zhi and Qingfeng Li. One said he was your uncle, and the other said he was your aunt. They want to see you."
Mu Xingchen looked up at the city wall at this moment. At this moment, two bright dresses appeared inappropriately among a group of armors. They all looked at one person.
Mu Xingchen narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Yan beside her. She gently raised her hand and pinched his neck with her spiritual power, and mouthed to the two people on the tower: "Come down."
The two men on the city wall looked at each other.
The surrounding soldiers immediately knelt down and begged, "Please, my Lords, save our Highness!"
The two nodded, and the next second they appeared in front of Mu Xingchen.
Both of them were wearing masks.
Qingfengzhi was dressed in a gentle blue dress, but his eyes were sharp. Qingfengli was dressed in a flamboyant red dress, and the arrogance in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Qing Fengzhi looked Mu Xingchen up and down. He nodded with some satisfaction, but then said with some displeasure: "Xingchen, you shouldn't stand on the side of the Yuegan tribe. You are still a human."
Qing Fengli echoed nonchalantly, "Your uncle is right. You are a human. How can you help an alien race to deal with your own people? Let go of Li Yan and go back with us."
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where are you going back to?"
The man frowned and said, "I'll go back when the war calms down a bit." He paused and said, "Home."
Mu Xingchen couldn't help but chuckled and said sarcastically, "Oh? Wait until the war is over? So you mean to help those people fight the Yuegan tribe?"
Qing Fengzhi said as a matter of course: "Of course! Otherwise, when the Yuegan tribe takes over Xiyao, where will our human race go?"
Xu Cen was furious: "Our goal is not to drive humans away, we just want to coexist peacefully!"
