The Emperor's Phoenix: The Abandoned Concubine

"If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. I hope Ling Tian can be more practical and not cause us more trouble, otherwise it will be a big trouble again." Feng Qingchen was very unhappy that she didn't kill Ling Tian, ​​but she also understood that if everyone in Tianqiong Castle died, the matter would not be resolved peacefully, and she and the Ninth Uncle could not just leave.

There are still many supporters under Tianqiong Castle. If all the people in Tianqiong Castle are to be wiped out, those loyal people will naturally conduct in-depth investigations. By then, if these people really find out something and implicate the Ninth Prince, the image that the Ninth Prince has worked so hard to establish will be destroyed.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now that the martial arts world is in turmoil, it is not appropriate for us to intervene." Some things were done too much. Not only would the martial arts world be dissatisfied with him, but even the four countries and nine cities would interfere.

Tianqiong Fort holds an extraordinary status in the martial arts world. If it were to be wiped out, it would destroy the martial arts world and cause huge trouble.

"I understand that we can't do anything to the extreme. But Ling Tian is not a man who stays content. Once he recovers, he will probably come looking for Lan Jingyang again. Nothing good will come of these two people getting together." These two people were originally birds of a feather, and now they have a common enemy, the Ninth Prince. It's hard to say what will happen in the future.

"Lan Jingyang? Don't worry, even if he returns to Liancheng, he won't cause any trouble." There will soon be no Liancheng in the Jiuzhou Continent, and he will not allow Liancheng and Lan Jingyang to deal with him together.

Feng Qingchen didn't think so: "You know how much trouble Lan Jingyang can make. Without Liancheng, there is Xuanyue Palace. As for that aunt, we didn't find any clues this time."

Feng Qingchen became even more depressed when he thought of this. The aunt from Xuanyue Palace actually passed away before they went down the mountain, leaving them without any useful information.

"Don't worry, you will know sooner or later." The Ninth Prince touched Feng Qingchen's head and stroked her fur. Feng Qingchen lay in the Ninth Prince's arms and muttered, "Why should I worry? I'm just afraid that you will be anxious."

She saw the influence of that aunt on the Ninth Uncle. Every time she mentioned this person, the Ninth Uncle would not try to persuade her.

The Ninth Prince paused, and Feng Qingchen became even more annoyed: "See, I told you that you were anxious."

The Ninth Prince sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "Qingchen, I am just on guard against that woman."

"She has too much influence on you. What is her relationship with you?" Feng Qingchen propped himself up and looked up to ask Uncle Nine. Uncle Nine pursed his lips and said nothing. Feng Qingchen felt uneasy and asked, "Is there anything you can't say? Could it be that I would betray you?"

"No..." The Ninth Prince still refused. Feng Qingchen stared at the Ninth Prince for a long while, but the Ninth Prince pretended not to see it and closed his eyes to rest.

Feng Qingchen's nose felt sore and he suddenly felt very aggrieved. He sat up straight, put some distance between them, turned his head away and stopped talking.

The Ninth Prince took a look, then turned to look out the window and stopped talking. The two of them occupied each side of the carriage, and this continued even for the next few days. The two of them fell into a cold war.

This put a hard time on the personal soldiers and imperial guards who were protecting Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince. Although the two were very well-mannered and would not take their temper out on their servants, the low pressure spreading around them scared the personal soldiers and imperial guards so much that they wanted to shrink up and pretend they didn't exist.

The whole team was in a gloomy mood, without a trace of energy. All the soldiers were cautious and put in great efforts. Even when they received the delicious canned beef they had been looking forward to for a long time, they did not dare to smile out loud. Instead, they were secretly delighted, wondering if they could save two slices of beef for their kids at home to have a taste of meat.

The cold war between the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen lasted for a long time. Both of them seemed to have made up their minds that the other party should compromise first, but neither of them was willing to bow their heads first.

Just when Feng Qingchen thought that their cold war would continue all the way to Dongling, an urgent letter sent over eight hundred miles broke the deadlock between the two.

"An urgent letter from eight hundred miles away, Yuwen Yuanhua was defeated." The Ninth Prince took out the letter and strode into the room.

"Defeated? Yuwen Wuhua lost the battle? The one with Yecheng?" Feng Qingchen jumped up, took the letter from the Ninth Uncle, read it quickly, and his expression became more and more solemn the more he read.

"How is this possible? Yuwen Yuanhua has so many people under his command, but he can't defeat Yecheng's hundreds of thousands of cavalry?" Feng Qingchen couldn't believe it at all.

Yuwen Yuanhua is not a novice, he is a veteran who has led troops for many years. Even if he was defeated, it would not be so tragic.

"Yecheng is short of food and clothing, how could Yuwen Yuanhua be defeated so miserably?" Feng Qingchen totally couldn't accept it. They had made so many preparations for attacking Yecheng, there was no way Yuwen Yuanhua would lose even if he fought with his eyes closed.

"It has something to do with that group of weirdos from overseas." Although it was not written in the letter, the Ninth Prince also had his own information.

"Even so, the defeat would not be so tragic. It was only a small-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people, but 30,000 died and more than 20,000 were injured. This is a complete annihilation of the army. Such a number of casualties is too terrifying. What on earth did Yuwen Yuanhua encounter?" Feng Qingchen was not a whiteie who knew nothing. This number of casualties was a shame no matter where it was placed. With Yuwen Yuanhua's ability to lead troops, such casualties would never have occurred in a normal battle.

"You won't know until you go and see it." The Ninth Uncle said in a deep voice. Feng Qingchen raised his head and looked at the Ninth Uncle: "You want to go to Yecheng in person?"

"Yes." This battle is the first battle for Dongling to unify the Nine Provinces, and only victory is allowed, not loss.

"You have to lead the army personally just to attack Yecheng. What about the attacks on Beiling, Nanling, and Xiling in the future? You have to lead the army personally to attack them all? Can you handle it?" Feng Qingchen disagreed with the Ninth Prince's move. Putting aside whether it was risky or not, the Ninth Prince had to do everything personally. Does he have so much energy?

It would be good if the emperor knew how to use people and didn't need to do everything by himself. She didn't know how to fight a war, but she had Feng Liyou under her command.

"This battle is different." said the Ninth Prince.

"What's the difference?" Isn't it just a more miserable defeat? In a war, there are naturally winners and losers.

"Since it involves underworld forces, Yuwen Yuanhua cannot defeat them." If the fight continues, more casualties will occur. Every soldier under his command is extremely important and cannot withstand such losses.

"Is that really the case?" Feng Qingchen thought of Yuwen Yuanhua's identity and smiled mockingly, "I'm afraid that you are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the military power in Yuwen Yuanhua's hands."

Yuwen Yuanhua betrayed the previous dynasty and the retired emperor. To put it bluntly, Yuwen Yuanhua is a slave of three surnames. It is normal for the Ninth Prince to be worried.

"Yes." The Ninth Uncle did not deny: "He is the general with the most troops in Dongling, and he controls half of Dongling's troops."

Dongling has a million-strong army, and Yuwen Yuanhua's open and covert troops add up to a total of 500,000 soldiers and horses. If Yuwen Yuanhua has second thoughts or is persuaded by any prince to rebel, the Ninth Prince will be caught in an endless civil war.

With such a high position and power, and no absolutely loyal general, the Ninth Prince had to be on guard, and the defeat of General Yuwen Yuanhua was a perfect opportunity to seize military power...
