Yuan Songzhu said that at this point, it is indeed difficult for the ethereal spirit to say anything.

Later, Yuan Songzhu personally repaired a letter and sent it to the head of Fenggongjin in Wuyi Mountain, which was regarded as a statement on this matter.

After all, the two sects are the first and second sects in the rivers and lakes, although the relationship is harmonious on the surface and the courtesies are still exchanged, but secretly there is a turmoil.

Wuyi Mountain is a river and lake that doubts the first position of Qi Baishan, and is eyeing it.

There is also a feud, there has been a war between the two major sects, but after so many years, it is still a scar.

In the letter, Yuan Songzhu did not mention how to deal with Lin Youyue, and even did not mention the whole thing.

Yuan Songzhu mostly wrote some greetings, if Wuyishan is not a fool, he already knows Qi Baishan's attitude, and he will not continue to hold on to this matter, the two major sects are really in trouble, then the imperial family will be dispatched, and the entire rivers and lakes will fall into a catastrophe, which is a God-given opportunity for the Demon Domain.

After the disciple who sent the letter left, Yuan Songzhu called another disciple and asked about the situation on the border.

During this time, the war situation on the border has calmed down a lot.

After the Gongsun family paid the heavy price of six sons and three deaths, the old general Gongsun Qi personally led the elites of the Gongsun clan into battle, which gradually reversed the defeat and recovered a large area of lost territory, coupled with the help of Han Ningzi and Yuan Mingyu and other Qi Baishan disciples and disciples of other sects, the enemies of the Demon Domain no longer dared to invade the border on a large scale, and the failure in the past few months has completely dealt a blow to their arrogance, and the Demon Domain has a tendency to retreat.

That's it from the border.

Yuan Songzhu has been practicing recently, and there is often a throbbing and uneasiness in his heart, observing the sky for a few days and nights, the starry sky domain is full of restlessness, and he has a premonition that something will happen recently, so he is ready to mobilize Han Ningzi and Yuan Mingyu back.

Another point is that three years have passed since the war situation in Beihai, according to his previous guess, the last artifact will appear in the next few years, and then it will inevitably be another big war, and now the entire rivers and lakes are not calm, large and small wars are happening, Qi Baishan disciples are scattered everywhere, and now is the time to employ people.

Now this point in time is a good opportunity, so Yuan Songzhu sent out a secret order, ordering Yuan Mingyu and Han Ningzi to return to the mountain as soon as they received the order.

In Surabaya City, just after a battle, the whole town looked very cold and fell into a downturn, perhaps this downturn has become the norm.

A demonic army, about two hours ago, attacked a village outside the city, and there was an outpost barracks in the village, and there were almost 300 soldiers in the barracks.

This is the fifth sneak attack since the defeat of the Demon Domain army, which has made people panic, and the old general Gongsun Qi has to consider regathering the soldiers sent out of the city back and only defending in the stronghold of Surabaya City, which is the safest, but in doing so, once the Demon Domain launches a new attack, then the lost territory that has just been recovered will fall into the hands of the Demon Domain in an instant.

Therefore, war is an art, and people who do not understand war are only joking with their own lives and the lives of others.

After Yuan Mingyu and Han Ningzi received the order for reinforcements, they led reinforcements and defeated the attacking Demon Domain army, killing more than 1,000 people, and suffering many casualties themselves.

The Demon Domain comes prepared every time, and the defenders of Surabaya City have always been very passive.

During the years of the ongoing war, the Empire's troops came and went, and reinforcements arrived in five batches, totaling 50,000 men.

Three years ago, when Yuan Mingyu and Han Ningzi first arrived here, the situation in Surabaya City was already precarious.

In the past three years, in this small city, which is less than ten miles long and wide, at least 200,000 troops have stayed, and at least half of the war dead have filled the streets here.

In other words, in just these three years, 100,000 people died on the battlefield of Surabaya City, not counting civilians.

In Surabaya City today, there are no civilians anymore, and even the appearance of a stray dog cannot be seen.

Houses were all destroyed, adobe was everywhere, and the streets changed and changed, and finally became patches of vacant land and ruins, and even Yuan Mingyu had to live in makeshift tents.

However, once the fighting stops, Surabaya Castle will be repaired, prosperous again, and people will gather.

Because this is a land of wealth, there is the largest mineral vein of the Great Xia Empire behind it, as long as it is a place where you can make a fortune, there are no people.

The walls were also repaired and repaired, and finally they were unrecognizable, and only large stones were piled up there, on which the flags of the empire and the flags of the army were planted.

Under the rubble city wall, there is Yuan Mingyu's military tent.

Yuan Mingyu was sitting in the military tent at this time, and had just taken off his armor and put on women's clothes again.

In this military camp, in addition to the disciples of Qi Baishan, there are also disciples of other sects, there are also disciples of Wuyi Mountain, and there are many female disciples.

When going to the battlefield, women need to change into battle armor, and usually dress up as a daughter, the army is especially gracious to these cultivators, after all, when it comes to fighting, it is these disciples who contribute the most, otherwise there are strict regulations in the army, no women can appear, and as for the woman dressed as a man, you can turn a blind eye.

Often after a hard battle, in addition to the ordinary soldiers who died, there would also be many disciples of the sect who died.

For example, Qi Baishan, a few immortals who came this time, actually lost two people in a large-scale battle last year, and such losses made Yuan Songzhu heartbroken, but after all, this is a war, and the imperial family will naturally give corresponding appeasement and compensation, and they rely on these sects to contribute to the empire.

"Mingyu, are you there?" After Han Ningzi finished reporting the military situation in Gongsun Qi's military tent, he immediately came over to look for Yuan Mingyu, he was holding a letter secretly sent by Qi Baishan's disciple, and Gongsun Qi had already read the letter.

Qi Baishan's disciples also came for a long time and were warmly received by Gongsun Qi.

Since it was the intention of the head of Yuan Songzhu, Gongsun Qizi couldn't say anything, so he could only agree to let Han Ningzi and Yuan Mingyu return to Qibai Mountain.

The battle here is indeed not so tense, otherwise, Gongsun Qike will have to think about it.

"Senior brother, I'm here, come in. Yuan Mingyu turned around and prepared refreshments, the food here is naturally not as good as Qi Baishan, but under the orders of Gongsun Qi, the treatment of the high-level disciples of all sects is even better than that of the old general Gongsun Qi.

After three years of war, Yuan Mingyu is no longer the reckless yellow-haired girl she was at the beginning, she has the taste of a woman, dignified and cautious, proper and down.

The battlefield and the rivers and lakes are the best testing grounds, and this sentence is not bad at all.

Blood can sharpen a person's mind.

"This is a letter from the master to us, let's return to Qibai Mountain. Han Ningzi said straight to the point.

He also wanted to return to Qibai Mountain, when the war here was just a little relaxed, Han Ningzi had this plan, after all, Han Ningzi's future was in Qibai Mountain, not on the battlefield.

"Is this true? I miss all those friends on the mountain, let me see what my father said in the letter. Yuan Mingyu took the letter and read it.

This turned out to be Yuan Songzhu's handwritten letter, and the words were concerned as if it was a family letter.

Yuan Mingyu read and read, and he thought more and more about everything in the mountain.

She, a woman who had never bled on the battlefield, shed tears here.

Suddenly, when he read Lin Youyue's news, his face suddenly changed.

"Something happened to Satsuki?"

"Yes, the master's letter said that Lin Demon Yue was taken away by the witch of the Demon Domain Shui Yuntian, and caused a big disaster, this time the master asked us to go back, most of it was related to this matter. Han Ningzi said.

After a few years of war, Han Ningzi has also been trained as if he has changed into a different person, and he seems to be more mature and stable.

"What did the old general Gongsun say?" said Yuan Mingyu, wiping away his tears.

"He agreed, after all, this is what the master meant, there is no need to tell the empire, according to common sense, the disciples of our various sects are turning around to reinforce the war, we should have gone back two years earlier, but the master let us have more experience, so we have been here for so long, and I also miss the master and his old man very much. Han Ningzi said.

"Great, let's pack our bags and go back now. Yuan Mingyu said, happily turned around and went to pack his things.

"I'll go and inform the other disciples and uncles. After Han Ningzi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the military tent.
