Chapter Seventy-Five—The Civil War (Counterattack)

Half an hour later, two slender figures cast by the midday sunlight appeared on the vast Víku Plain. From a distance, these two figures look as if they are flying from the other side of the horizon, which is breathtaking. This Viku plain is really big, and it's a bit impressive. This Viku Plain is naturally the largest plain in the entire Xuanling Continent.

However, because the land on this Weiku Plain is relatively difficult to grow crops, and there is not enough water near this plain, even if the royal Chen family has thought of many ways to this plain, and even does not hesitate to forcibly relocate the people to this Weiku Plain, but the results are still very small. Since the plain is not suitable for cultivation, it is not self-sufficient in some respects. So naturally, after basically collecting the fire oil in it, the royal Chen family generously gave up this Weiku Plain, and at the same time took the initiative to shrink its forces. The main reason for this was that their troops were not replenished enough, and the practical help of the feudal states that they originally wanted to support them was not given to them. As a result, the royal Chen family still chose to give up the Weiku Plain as a last resort. Of course, they didn't just swallow this disadvantage, and after nearly ten years of unremitting efforts, they had basically collected the fire oil contained in this Viku Plain.

In this way, it was not very unacceptable for them to give up this Viku Plain, which had no other resources. On the contrary, some of the support received by the Chen family of the imperial family itself was unwilling to provide their already scarce strength to these civilians and soldiers on the Weiku Plain. Generally speaking, the withdrawal of troops from the Chen family of the royal family is a harmless choice.

Chen Xinyu was different, she knew very well what such a huge amount of fire oil on the Weiku Plain meant to the Chen family of the royal family, although they might not be able to make this kind of firearms now, and they were also in a state of infancy in the entire Xuanling Continent. It's just that now with the help of the feudal state, Chen Xinyu may not be able to say well whether the Chen family of the royal family can take the lead in developing this type of firearm. After all, although they don't have enough oil on hand, they still haven't stopped researching, and Chen Xinyu also attaches great importance to this, and in some ways she has been committed to developing and researching this new type of weapon, which is still in its infancy. Once this type of firearm is developed, the strategic pattern of the two sides will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.

This is also one of the important tasks given to Zhou Yu by Chen Xinyu, and Zhou Yu will naturally not slack off. After rejecting the wishes of the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, he immediately set off for the central area of the Viku Plain, where the oil extraction was most critical. Under the bright sun at noon, the first group of cavalry to rush over was Zhou Yu's escort who personally went to inspect the underground oil mining tunnel.

And the two figures following behind him were none other than Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, who originally went to see Zhou Yu with confidence, and wanted Zhou Yu to come forward to help them complete the task of appeasing the people and officials in the surrounding counties, but they never thought that Zhou Yu would naturally make such a surprising decision. So, after weighing the pros and cons, the two brothers and sisters, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, who had no choice but to follow Zhou Yu's cavalry troops, continued to advance. Due to the light power they were able to use, it was not much of a problem for the cavalry unit in front of them to catch up.

It's just that the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan are still very worried, after Zhou Yu's situation, the two brothers and sisters really didn't expect that the situation was really unacceptable. The decision made by Zhou Yu also made Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, really unexpected. Now, they had no other way but to follow the cavalry force.

So, in the center of this Viku Plain, a very empty groove appeared from the plain area that was originally very empty, and it could be seen that there was a very empty underground passage below, and this underground passage was empty and winding all the way down, and there was no edge at all.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, walked to the border of this open area, and they naturally saw that the original cavalry unit only had a group of war horses left outside, and only a part of the army was guarding these war horses here. It's just that there are only more than a dozen sergeants guarding the war horses here, and most of the other troops have already followed Zhou Yu down to the underground of this fire oil mining place.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, did not hesitate anything, but walked over directly. didn't wait for the white jade token in him to be revealed, and the white jade token was written very simply and clearly what was Chen Xinyu's personal order. As soon as this token came out, the soldiers guarding here were taken aback, and they had originally wanted to drive away these two young men who looked very young, not even twenty years old. Of course, they naturally never expected that these two young people would have such a piece of white jade and jade pendant in their hands, which symbolized the highest power of leaving the country, which they never expected in any case.

However, since this is the case, then a unstable thought arose in their hearts, these two brothers and sisters are definitely not ordinary people, and they may even be the confidants of their Empress Chen Xinyu. Thinking of this, a slightly older soldier leader led by these dozens of soldiers stood up and asked respectfully in a somewhat low tone, "I wonder what the two of you are here?"

Although this person spoke in a very polite tone, the two siblings Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan did not see the fear they should have on his faces, which actually explained this situation in some ways, these dozens of soldiers actually did not believe that they actually seemed to be very unbeatable to them, and in some cases, the very respectful Empress Chen Xinyu would give such an important piece of white jade pendant to their hands, which was a situation that they could not figure out.

However, now the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, are not worried about these things now, after all, the current situation is too late to continue to delay. Feng Yuchong then asked bluntly: "We were personally ordered by Her Majesty the Empress to come to observe how the fire oil collection on this Viku Plain is going on now, I wonder if we can go in?"

The words have come to this point, the patience in the hearts of the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan has reached a situation where it is about to explode, and there is only one way for them to persuade Zhou Yu now. If these dozens of soldiers continue to stop them, they will really be polite, these people are really toasting and not eating and drinking.

Although the dozens of soldiers in front of them didn't know what kind of ability Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan contained in the two siblings, they had already seen a certain murderous aura invisibly on the bodies of these two siblings. So, they subconsciously began to protect their lives, and the leader of the dozens of soldiers hurriedly smiled and said, "In this case, you two can naturally enter here, so please."

Looking at the respectful behavior of the leader in front of him who took the initiative to lead the way, Feng Yuchong quietly withdrew the Soul Wind Feather Fan that had been pressed in his hand. He silently pulled his sister's arm and whispered: "We can't just admit defeat like this, since he doesn't give us face like this, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Feng Shanshan understood what her brother meant, although she felt that it was a little inappropriate to deal with this matter like this. But after she looked at her brother's resolute expression and actions, Feng Shanshan's heart suddenly rose with a helpless emotion, and she was embarrassed to refuse her brother and advised her brother not to do it. She thought about it for a while, but decided to take a look at it. "Okay, let's go down and have a look"

The leader led Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan to the entrance of the underground passage in front of them, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan could clearly see a dark alley like an underground street below, and the surrounding cave walls were built with short ladders and other rocky buildings, which made the eyes of the two brothers and sisters a little overwhelmed. This place where the oil is mined is really large-scale

When entering the cave underneath from the outside, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, had already seen the elevator connecting the inside and outside of the cave, which was large enough to accommodate dozens of people to go up and down together. This point really relieved the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, should, from this road, they can find Zhou Yu and his subordinates who have come here now.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, suddenly had a very strange emotion in their hearts, perhaps saying that they couldn't understand the current situation more and more. Who would have expected that the current situation would be turned into such a situation by Zhou Yu, who seemed to know the situation very well. In this case, can the people and officials in these neutral towns who have not been appeased continue to support them? This is really something that feels wrong.

Thinking of this, the two brothers and sisters, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "Maybe only now by mastering this great general's sigil in Zhou Yu's hand, we can do the most useful thing, otherwise all this is useless, I really can't imagine what the situation will become if this strength goes to the command of the Chen family of the imperial family."
