Princess Qinyang was stunned. She never expected Xun Cheng to suddenly mention her.
Feng Cheng reacted very quickly and clapped his hands. "Look at me! I almost forgot about this!"
The people behind looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but say, "General, the princess has been in the capital for a long time, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Feng Cheng interrupted. "They say a tiger father has a tiger daughter! King Yannan is currently embroiled in many issues, and having Qinyang here will be a great help to us! Don't forget, Qinyang was raised by King Yannan himself! What hasn't he seen?"
Everyone said that Princess Qinyang was spoiled and willful, but Feng Cheng knew that she had been with Prince Yannan since she was a child and had learned a lot of kung fu.
King Yannan has only this one precious daughter, and he seems to be particularly doting on her on ordinary days, but when it comes to teaching her a lesson, he is serious and ruthless.
Feng Chengxin is convinced.
As he spoke, he waved to the Princess of Qinyang, "Qinyang, Master Xun, all of you come and see! Nan Hu suffered a great loss this time, what will he do next?"
Qin Yang looked at the familiar sand table. She recognized every mountain and river on it.
She was indeed much more familiar with this place than the capital.
"By the way, what exactly happened in the battle at Pingshui Bay?" Princess Qinyang asked curiously, "I thought it was Uncle Feng who did it before, but now I realize it was you who was guarding Duzhou. So—"
Feng Cheng was stunned.
From what Princess Qinyang said, it was clear that she already knew what had happened here before she came.
It had been so short a time, even many of the city's residents were still unaware of the situation. Yet, coming from the capital, she knew everything clearly...
Feng Cheng subconsciously looked towards Xun Cheng, but was only met with a pair of warm and smiling faces.
really……
Xun Cheng is indeed quite resourceful, he can even find out all these things.
But it was obvious that he did not hide it from Qinyang.
Feng Cheng felt relieved and laughed, "Come! I'll tell you!"
Then he told him in detail what had happened recently.
The more Princess Qinyang listened, the brighter her eyes became.
After hearing the last part, she could no longer contain her excitement, "Who is so powerful? Could it be——"
Feng Cheng gave her a look and shook his head slightly.
Princess Qinyang understood what she meant and immediately swallowed the rest of her words, but her heart was still pounding.
She couldn't think of anyone else who could carry out such an ambush except Ye Yunfeng!
That guy might still be alive!
Princess Qinyang was eager to report this good news back to the capital immediately and tell Ye Chutang in person!
But she still endured it.
Without seeing the person, nothing can be confirmed.
But she was still in a very good mood, saying repeatedly, "The Southern Hu have suffered a heavy blow. Even if they want to do anything else, they must think carefully. They want to take advantage of the rebellion and my father's busy work to launch a large-scale attack, but they are just dreaming!"
Feng Cheng said, "Not necessarily. Tuoba Shan was originally a very cautious person. If it weren't for Tuoba Yu's death and Shui Xingqiu's instigation, he would never have done this. They suffered huge losses this time, and perhaps... it will provoke them to make a desperate move. Who knows."
"Won't."
Xun Cheng suddenly spoke, his tone calm but firm.
Everyone looked at him, all with puzzled expressions.
Feng Cheng asked doubtfully, "Why does Master Xun say that?"
Xun Cheng smiled. "Shui Xingqiu does have some tricks up his sleeve, but Tuoba Shan, having ascended to the throne, is no fool. As the saying goes, three times the truth will never happen. Shui Xingqiu won't be able to clear himself this time. Many of the Nanhu generals who died in this battle were from noble families. If their families unite, it's not impossible for them to bring down the Shui family."
"This... what Master Xun said does make sense, but it's rumored that Shui Xingqiu is extremely trusted by Tuoba Shan, is eloquent, and is extremely skilled in the art of poison. He's very evil!" A soldier said angrily.
Feng Cheng looked at Xun Cheng's expression, but felt a little hesitant.
"... Master Xun, what have you learned?"
He had no doubt about Xun Cheng's ability, even though he was still in a wheelchair.
Xun Cheng pondered for a moment, his eyes falling on the sand table again.
"General Feng has done an excellent job deploying the defenses. There's no need to worry too much about anything else. There should still be some trouble over there from the Southern Hu. All you need to do is wait patiently."
Hearing him say this, Feng Cheng felt a lot more at ease for some reason.
He nodded. "Alright. I wanted to take advantage of this time to rest and recuperate."
In the previous battle between the two sides, there were countless casualties on this side.
As he spoke, he looked at Princess Qinyang again.
"By the way, have you heard any rumors about the rebels along the way from the capital? I heard about the former crown prince as well."
Princess Qinyang shrugged. "They are indeed using this banner, but the descendants of the previous dynasty's royal family are few and far between, and some died when the country was destroyed. If there really is such a hidden gem, why would they wait until today to show up? It's unbelievable. But..."
She frowned slightly. "To be able to gather so many people in such a short time to start an uprising, it seems like it was premeditated. They hid it so well in the past few years that it's surprising that no one has ever discovered it."
To rebel, you also need capital.
Money, troops, food, weapons...which of these can ordinary people raise?
Feng Cheng nodded in agreement, but he had more important things to do right now.
"Qinyang, you've arrived just in time. I'm short of men. You're familiar with the terrain here, and you've dealt with the Southern Hu before. Would you be willing to lead the troops?"
Princess Qinyang's eyes lit up. This was the purpose of her trip!
"Everything is at the general's disposal!"
…
Capital city, Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
Uncle Di sat alone in the house, reading a book bored.
But after a long time, he didn't turn the page, as if he was in a trance.
Squeak——
The door was pushed open, and he immediately came to his senses and looked up.
Seeing the newcomer, he showed no surprise on his face. He just smiled and said hello, "How come you have time to come here today, Prince?"
Although he lived in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, he rarely saw Shen Yanchuan, and most of the time, he was looked after by the Black Cavalry Guards.
Chen Yanchuan closed the door with his backhand, but did not step forward. He just stood there and looked over calmly.
"I heard from Su Mu that your health has improved a lot."
"Yes." Uncle Di nodded calmly, "I also went out for a few walks. I have to thank the prince and Miss Ye Er."
He paused, "Is Miss Ye Er okay?"
He also heard the news that Ye Yunfeng died in battle.
I wanted to say hello, but after thinking it over, I gave up.
"She said, 'A general dies in a hundred battles, but a warrior returns after ten years.' She has thought about this since the day Ye Yunfeng joined the frontier army."
Shenyanchuan Road,
"It's not just him. Countless soldiers on the battlefield have fought bravely to protect their country, even if they die without regrets."
Uncle Di was shocked, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. An indescribable loneliness suddenly flashed across his face.
"...Is that so..." (End of this chapter)
