Chapter Eighty-Eight—Leaving the City and Heading North
It was precisely because they were familiar with this Xuanyi Women's Army that the people in Zhongcheng were not surprised, and these people would not have thought that these two guards of the Xuanyi Women's Army were actually disguised by the people of Qi State. The Xuanyi Women's Army has been inherited in Zhongcheng for more than 20 years, and two or three generations of members have been replaced. The common people gradually became affectionate and affectionate towards this army, which was composed entirely of women, from their original rejection and disgust. This is also the purpose of the Xuanyi Women's Army, which is to seek the well-being of the people.
Due to the extremely strict selection conditions of the Xuanyi Women's Army, only a virgin young woman can serve as a virgin, and once she gets married or breaks her virgin, she cannot continue to stay in the Xuanyi Women's Army.
Although as the eldest princess of Rongle who created this army, she could not be bound by this condition at all, but in order to lead by example, after weighing the pros and cons, Bu Lian still handed over this army to her confidant, Su Hui, who regarded her own sister, to preside over it.
Bu Lian's approach is tantamount to saying that the selection conditions for the Xuanyi Women's Army have been officially finalized, and she quits the Xuanyi Women's Army, which is for this purpose.
Most of these young women are from unfortunate families, and they are unwilling to stay at home for different reasons, or their families have died, and they voluntarily join the Xuanyi Women's Army.
These two girls wearing dark robes, hats, hanging veils, and hurried and capable eyes are very reminiscent of the secret agents of the Xuanyi Women's Army, and the scene in front of them, although the surrounding people can't see their faces clearly for the time being, but they can also guess that they must be members of the Xuanyi Women's Army.
The status of the guards of the Xuanyi Women's Army in Zhongche and even the entire feudal country has gradually risen, and as the feudal army gradually retreats to the loyal city during this period of time, the 20,000 troops of the Xuanyi Women's Army are particularly important.
Yesterday evening, the guards of the Huqing Army received the news from the commander Yue Ji, and once again relaxed the tension between the military and the Xuanyi women, and now as long as they have the arrows of Su Hui, the commander of the Xuanyi Women's Army, they can travel between inside and outside the city unimpeded.
This news really made the guards of the Huqing Army unable to figure out what was going on. Because originally, just a few days ago, with the support of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, the Huqing Army had fully taken over all matters inside and outside the city, and no longer acted according to the original division of power with the Xuanyi Women's Army, both inside and outside the city. In this way, most of the power of the Xuanyi Women's Army was deprived in disguise.
The news that was passed on at that time, for the guards of the Huqing Army, although they knew that the Xuanyi Women's Army had touched His Majesty's taboo, or because of the subtlety of the queen's mother. Therefore, he was punished by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, deprived of the authority to inspect the city, and the full power was borne by their Huqing army guards.
Although they feel a little sorry for the Xuanyi Women's Army in their hearts, as the personal guards of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, the mission they need to undertake is to completely and strictly carry out all of Zheng Junchao's orders, regardless of the reason and other people's thoughts, regardless of whether the order is right or wrong.
Yesterday evening, with the arrival of Yue Ji's latest order, the arrival of this order once again indicates that the current mission of the Huqing Army is about to change again, and they do not need to continue to prevent the guards or spies of the Xuanyi Women's Army from leaving the city.
In fact, now in the entire Zhongcheng, the number of people who often come and go inside and outside the city is not large, and most of the people know that leaving Zhongcheng will face an unknown crisis, and the government will provide them with food anyway, so they simply stay in the city and no longer leave easily.
It is precisely because of the chaotic and complicated situation in the outside world that there are basically only spies from the Huqing Army and secret agents from the Xuanyi Women's Army who come and go inside and outside the city.
Now the two girls, Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying, who are pretending to be secret agents of the Xuanyi Women's Army, did not have much trouble coming to the vicinity of the North City Gate. "Stop, please show the arrow!"
Although the relationship between the two commanders of the Huqing Army and the Xuanyi Women's Army is bad, the relationship between the ordinary members is still very good, after all, under the same roof, these two armies are often the same subordinates who stay in Zhongcheng, so the relationship between the two will naturally not be bad.
Many of the guards of the Huqing Army and the guards of the Xuanyi Women's Army still have a very close relationship, so many times, when the secret agents of the Xuanyi Women's Army come and go inside and outside the city, the guards of the Huqing Army will not deliberately embarrass them. Although they were not very reluctant in their hearts, they still strictly followed the orders issued by Yue Ji and did not let any of the Xuanyi female army guards leave.
All kinds of reasons, although these Huqing Army guards can guess a little, but they can't affect their action decisions, although they sympathize with their hearts, their actions on the surface are still so selfless.
But now, since Yue Ji has issued such an order, it is naturally a very good thing for these Huqing Army guards, and they don't want to really stiffen the relationship with the Xuanyi woman's military land.
Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying, two girls, stood side by side and stopped in front of the two Huqing Army guards holding halberds. Feng Shanshan keenly caught that the tone of the Huqing Army guard sounded quite stern, but it didn't seem to mean to embarrass them too much.
Pressing her heart and pressing her inner anxiety and weakness in her chest, she calmly grasped the phoenix seal symbolizing the authority of the queen from her sleeve, took it out and handed it to the hands of the two Huqing army guards in front of her.
"On the order of the mother, I went to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess. Feng Shanshan's words were as calm as possible, not the tone that Su Hui told her, but the way they talked to these young women from their consistent conversation style in the process of coming into contact with the people of the Xuanyi Women's Army, and it seemed that there was a deliberate attitude without any emotion.
The voice that Feng Shanshan imitated now is exactly the attitude that these Xuanyi women's army guards often use. Sure enough, these Huqing Army guards didn't seem to doubt their thoughts, and took the jade pendant in Feng Shanshan's hand.
In an instant, the expression of the Huqing Army guard changed slightly, this is really a phoenix seal that can represent the queen's pity. Although the guards of the Huqing Army all know that His Majesty and the Queen Mother, the "model couple" who have always respected each other and have a deep affection, seem to have unknown contradictions and estrangements because of recent events, but this does not prevent them, since Yue Ji has already ordered, they will naturally release these two Xuanyi female army spies who hold the queen's step and phoenix seal out of the city.
After a little inspection, he happily returned the phoenix seal, "Okay, since the queen mother asked you to go to see Her Royal Highness the princess, you can leave now." "These two Huqing Army guards didn't want to embarrass Feng Shanshan and Gao Hanyue, they originally wanted to continue to maintain their original friendship with the Xuanyi Women's Army, so naturally Thailand would not embarrass them.
Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying didn't expect that they would be able to leave Zhongcheng so easily, and these Huqing Army guards didn't embarrass them in the slightest. In this way, this jade pendant is really the phoenix seal of the queen Bu Lian, which is also a "token" that can represent her identity and status.
Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying, the two girls, left the north city gate smoothly, stepped on the city gate spread on the ground, and slowly walked out of the city gate, there was a feeling of unreality in their hearts.
"Shanshan, do you think that our departure from Zhongcheng seems to be too smooth, and it always feels wrong......" Walking out of a certain distance, Luo Yinying quietly glanced back at the two Huqing Army guards who were still patrolling the city gate, she quietly approached Feng Shanshan's ear, and said in a low voice.
In fact, there was no need for Luo Yinying to remind them, Feng Shanshan also realized that they left Zhongcheng too quickly, and the two Huqing Army guards didn't seem to seriously check this jade pendant, so they quietly and directly released them out of the city.
Feng Shanshan thought for a while, and then she said with a smile: "Regardless of whether it is a conspiracy or not, let's simply not go north, go south directly, and go according to the agreed position." ”
Luo Yinying also smiled slightly, this method is not bad, if there is really an ambush, they will inevitably suffer some unknown ambushes when they go north to the vicinity of Shengcheng. Then, it is a better way to directly find a good opportunity to turn around and move south.
The two girls Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying immediately quickened their pace, carried out light work, and ostensibly made a plan according to the established plan and went straight to Shengcheng.
......
Shengcheng, with the withdrawal of the army that left the country again, the forces of the white-clothed goddess and the army that left the country have returned from Yicheng to Shengcheng to be stationed temporarily, because now that winter has come, the weather has gradually become cold. The combined forces of the two forces will not be able to stay in Yicheng safely, and the subsequent army and food supplies will become a major problem.
After Kong Hong and Bu Yuehan discussed together, the two of them successively led the army, evacuated Yicheng in batches, and returned to Shengcheng.
According to the news transmitted by their secret agents, the dark legion still continues to stay near the city, and it seems that they want to completely destroy the Qi country before taking action. As for the feudal country itself, due to the serious shortage of troops now, the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao is also unable to free up his hands to attack them.
The location of Shengcheng is not very good, the terrain is a little low, if the feudal state can use the water of the Xuanling River, it can easily flood Shengcheng, which is located in the lowlands.
In order to prevent this situation, Bu Yuehan specially arranged for people to build an earthen wall and camp on the embankment of the Xuanling River, and specially stationed 500 rotating soldiers here to guard against any possible enemy situation.
The big tent of the Chinese army of the alliance of the two forces did not stay in the city, but was set up in the garrison of the army leaving the country outside the city, and in a compound tent in the center, the leaders of the two forces, Kong Hong, the spirit lord of the wing, and Bu Yuehan, the princess of Liuli, were discussing how to deal with Bu Yuehan's mother, that is, the queen of the feudal country, Bu Lian, with the help of the fire phoenix, to pass the news to Bu Yuehan.
On the surface, these messages seem to be a mother who cares about her daughter, but Bu Yuehan knows that her mother's purpose of using the phoenix to deliver the news must not be so simple.
