1535 Arrogant, swaggering away
While Beiling's deputy general was busy seizing military power and engaging in internal strife, all the Fengli people had already evacuated. Feng Liyou breathed a sigh of relief as the matter was finally resolved smoothly.
Feng Liyou said to the Eighteen Riders: "Everyone has evacuated. I'll leave the rest to you."
The eighteen riders glanced at their companions, confirming that they had the same idea as they did, and one of them stepped forward and asked, "Where is the Sixth Elder's son Feng Lizhi?"
"Didn't he leave?" Feng Liyou answered after hesitating for a moment.
"Yes, they left, and then retreated back during the chaos." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Eighteen Riders, and they thought to themselves, it's a good thing that the girl reminded them in advance, otherwise they would have been embarrassed today. There were only a few thousand of them and they had already caused chaos.
"He actually..." Feng Liyou's face changed slightly. He was a decisive person. After a little hesitation, he ordered the eighteen riders to break the bridge.
"I will take care of Feng Lizhi's problem. Since he doesn't want to leave, let him do so." Feng Liyou suddenly showed murderous intent.
It was not appropriate for Feng Qingchen to attack Feng Lizhi, but Feng Lizhi was asking for death himself, and if he didn't do something, he would be too unworthy of himself.
"In that case, Feng Lizhi will be handed over to you. We will tell the young lady." The Eighteen Riders were used to staying in the army, where punishments were clearly defined. If responsibilities were not divided in advance, they would also be in trouble if something went wrong.
Feng Liyou smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no problem, but in her heart she secretly cursed Feng Qingchen's subordinates, saying that they were all as shrewd as her and difficult to fool. Fortunately, he had never thought of fooling Feng Qingchen.
The eighteen riders cut the rope bridge, wiped out all traces, and went to look for Feng Qingchen.
At the same time, a black shadow appeared near the Fengli tribe like a ghost, moving quickly like a black cloud.
When I got closer, I found that the black cloud was actually people. They were wrapped in black from head to toe, with only a pair of eyes exposed. From a distance, they looked like a group of ghosts.
The black shadows seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, and they moved forward almost without stopping. Judging from their target, it seemed to be the Beiling army.
However, after seeing the shadow of the Beiling army, they did not chase after them, but dispersed from both sides, using the snow-capped mountains as cover and hiding in the snow.
This group of people did not communicate along the way. All their messages were communicated through gestures, and only they themselves knew what the gestures meant.
After observing in the dark for a while, the black shadow saw a black shadow walking out from the darkness and disappearing into the snow in a few leaps.
Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince lay quietly in bed, looking at each other, listening to each other's heartbeats, without saying anything but not seeming lonely at all...
It was not until footsteps were heard outside the tent that the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen stood up from their beds.
The ambiguity in the room disappeared. The Ninth Prince helped Feng Qingchen straighten his clothes before letting the people outside in.
"Miss, someone outside the tent brought this, requesting to see the Ninth Prince." The soldier presented half a wooden token with both hands. The Ninth Prince only took a look and nodded to Feng Qingchen.
Although Feng Qingchen didn't know who the visitor was, since the Ninth Prince nodded, she wouldn't say much.
After the soldiers withdrew, the Ninth Prince explained: "The Black Cavalry is coming."
"You've come at the right time. Your 1,000 Black Knights are indeed an ace force. Their mobility is really enviable." Feng Qingchen's eyes immediately lit up. If she had not retained some rationality, she would have definitely gone forward to hug the Ninth Prince and bite him on the face to repay him for his "kindness".
The Black Cavalry was the pride of the Ninth Prince. He had trained this army and they were his confidants. Feng Qingchen was praising the Black Cavalry in the same way as praising him.
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "We can leave tomorrow morning. The fighting over there is almost over. If we don't go there now, we may get nothing."
That area naturally refers to the nameless island where the Lu family’s wealth lies.
The people of the four countries and nine cities started fighting before they even saw the shadow of the Lu family's treasure. After a truce was finally reached, everyone decided to land on the island first, only to find that the island was not as simple as they thought.
It was a small island, but it was full of dangers. If you were not careful, you would suffer heavy losses. Before they even reached the center of the island, they had lost one-fifth of their men. In addition, many people had also died in the previous fights, so there were not many people left on the island, and the number of people who could get out of the island alive was estimated to be even fewer.
The Ninth Prince originally thought that there would be a fierce battle to fight, but after learning about the situation on the island, he felt much more at ease.
With the navy he had trained before, it was more than enough to deal with the remaining people in the four countries and nine cities.
Black Cavalry came in, without saying anything, knelt on one knee in front of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, and made two gestures with his hand. The Ninth Prince also did not speak, but stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and the two of them finished their communication.
Feng Qingchen suddenly realized that her IQ was so low, she had no idea what this was talking about.
After the Black Cavalry left, the Ninth Prince found Feng Qingchen looking at him with a confused expression, and the Ninth Prince could not help but laugh.
Feng Qingchen tonight seemed to have instantly regressed to the time when they first met, silly and cute.
"His two gestures were to prove his identity. I ordered them to act in an hour." The Ninth Prince was never a person who liked to explain, but because the other party was Feng Qingchen, he was willing to explain.
"One hour, at dawn?" Feng Qingchen wondered the purpose of taking action at this time.
One hour was just enough for her to arrange for everyone to retreat, but wouldn’t the risk be greater at daybreak?
The Ninth Prince nodded. Seeing the doubt in Feng Qingchen's eyes, he had to continue to explain: "The generals of Beiling have been quarreling all night and must be tired. In broad daylight, no one thinks we dare to take action."
If you want to win with a smaller force, you have to take the enemy by surprise, just like Feng Qingchen's strategy in dealing with Beiling's army. Beiling didn't think they dare to go out on their own initiative, so they took the initiative to attack and destroy their vanguard.
When the enemy launched a fierce attack, instead of defending completely, he pulled out his men to cut off the enemy's limbs.
Feng Qingchen thought about it and had to say that the Ninth Emperor's decision was very wise. If it were her, she would make the same decision as the Ninth Emperor's. If she didn't take action at dawn, she would have to wait until night.
In one day, the variables are too great and they dare not wait.
"I will arrange for people to retreat gradually." Feng Qingchen said to the Ninth Prince and walked out.
Feng Qingchen passed on the order, and the Wolf Lord and several deputy generals shouted happily: "Miss, are you telling the truth? Have we won without fighting?"
"There is no battle in this world that can be won without fighting. Someone will support us." Feng Qingchen said mysteriously.
Winning without fighting was God's will. She didn't want these people to think that their safe escape was God's will, not her credit.
Like Doudou, she wants to demonstrate her talents in the army, but she is not like Doudou who forgets her position.
She is the closest to the ruler in the army. What she needs to do is not to demonstrate her ability to fight alone, but whether her arrangements can ensure that most people can escape unscathed under such circumstances.
Obviously, she did.
As for snatching the credit from the Ninth Prince's contribution and negating his efforts, she did not feel any pressure at all, nor would she feel ashamed.
The Ninth Prince took action because of her. If it weren't for her, all the members of the Fengli clan would have died tragically in front of the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince would not have even frowned.
Feng Qingchen knew better than anyone how cold-blooded that man was. She had clearly felt the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the Ninth Prince back then...
A word to readers: We chatted until seven in the morning, and there is one more update I will write when I get home and wake up.
