PS: Some people who have read the last few chapters have asked me why I am writing this way is a bit weird, and it doesn't seem to be on the right track for the development of the plot. I used to think about this too, but then I didn't think it was too much of a problem to write like this. After all, the protagonists are still young now, and their experience is still insufficient. If they want to make greater progress in the future, in addition to their own efforts and persistence, they must still rely on external forces to obtain the future they want to meet. As for these external forces, hehe, this is a later story, and it will slowly become more and more exciting after watching it

In the fourth year of the Holy Emperor, in the early autumn of Xuan Lejun of Qi State, under the deterrence of strong external forces, the army of Qi guarding the East Linguan had to retreat backwards, and on the way to retreat, the division occupied Ruocheng, which was previously controlled by the Ming people. Feng Guo then marched into the east of the pass, with the Qi city of Huicheng, which had been occupied earlier, the two armies totaled nearly 150,000 troops began to launch an attack on Ruocheng, and now, the defenders of Ruocheng only have 20,000 Qi troops who retreated from the east Linguan. If the city is in danger.

The leaders of the Qi army, Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu, successively sent several envoys to Jincheng to find reinforcements. And Li Fu, the son of Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi State, who has now led the army to quell the Ming rebellion, has already sent an army south to support Ruocheng. As a result, the defenders of Ruocheng have increased all the way, and now there are 50,000 people. Although it is still impossible to go out of the city to face the battle, if nothing else, it is not difficult to defend the castle for a while. It's just that in this time period, Qi seems to be the darkest moment. Military rebellions broke out everywhere, the internal strife was not pacified, and the external invasion was strong. Although the people of Qi support the Qi army to quell the rebellion, these simple people really have no bottom in their hearts about the current domestic and external troubles.

The Qi State is now in a deep danger, even though the defense of Jincheng has reached the most critical moment, and the Ming Clan's attack is no longer very strong. In the period of time since the fall of Donglin Pass, the Ming people have now lost confidence. The area where they revolted was reoccupied by the Qi army, and the feudal army, which had hoped to use each other for benefits, occupied the city of Huicheng that they had fought so hard to gain without mercy or at all, and was thus occupied by the feudal state without much effort. Although the Northern Elder of the Ming Clan had already anticipated this matter before, he had laid a foreshadowing before the withdrawal of the army from Huicheng. All the grain and grass left in the city were coated with fire oil, and it happened that the weather was hot at this time, and the granary where the grain was stored was also made of hay, which was particularly prone to fire. It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, and although Elder Bei's plan is vicious and effective, it has not caused a great impact. The reserve army rations of the feudal state were transported to the front line as quickly as possible, not only replenishing the entire army of nearly 100,000 people, but even allowing this army to now go north to attack Ruocheng.

The Ming people are now in the dust, and for their army, which cannot replenish the supply of troops and grain and grass from the territory of Qi, the death or injury of a brother is an irreparable loss. Now the Ming Clan's Qiang Jincheng cannot succeed, but instead buries the lives of thousands of Ming brothers. The current Elder North is already overwhelmed and at a loss. His ambitions were gone, and he was now even just trying to save his life, nothing more.

In the territory of Qi State, outside Jincheng City, although the banner of the Ming clan is still fluttering there, the hearts of every Ming soldier are extremely heavy. The Jincheng tower is still standing, and the soldiers on the tower are still majestic. Even the army in Jincheng sent a part of it to the south to reinforce the Qi army near Ruocheng. Everything in Qi is in full swing, although the strong enemy is outside, and the internal troubles are inside, but the Qi country is still the army and the people are united, and they work together to meet the strong enemy.

At this time, the civil strife was basically no longer a cause for concern, and in just half a month, not only the Demon Spirit Continent had now shifted from summer to early autumn. The Northern Elder of the Ming Clan had already lost a full circle of weight, and his figure on the horse looked particularly gloomy. The sharp and resolute eyes that used to be like a goshawk are no longer visible, and the ambitions that once had are also gone. He stared at the insurmountable obstacle of their Ming army not far away—Jincheng, which was still garrisoned by more than 20,000 troops, and the figure on the tower of the city wearing dark gold armor and holding a gold-winning spear in his hand. This figure is the current commander-in-chief of the Jincheng army, Li Fu, the eldest son of Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi State, although Li Fu is not strong in battlefield fighting, his ability to command and dispatch the army is still outstanding. Coupled with the fact that he and his father have deep popular support in the Qi State, coupled with tens of thousands of elite troops in his hands, he has no problem holding Jincheng.

Now, Li Fu is already planning a counterattack plan, the reason why he mobilized 30,000 troops to the south of Ruocheng, and did not choose to go north to defend Xuancheng, a country with less than 10,000 garrisons, is precisely because his father, Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi, wrote a letter and repeatedly warned him not to send troops north to defend Xuancheng. But Li Fu was still worried in his heart, after all, Xuancheng was the capital of the Qi State, and since ancient times, the capital was breached, indicating the fall of this dynasty. Now on the bank of the Xuanling River not far from Xuancheng, the 30,000 troops of the Second Hall of the Sealed Kingdom have begun to mobilize reserve warships to forcibly cross the Xuanling River to attack Xuancheng. Li Fuming knew that this was the enemy's strategy to divide and disintegrate, but he still sent 20,000 troops north again to reinforce Xuancheng. As a result, Li Fu could have used a lot less army to defend and counterattack, and he can only passively adopt a defensive strategy now, waiting for internal strife within the Ming clan. Li Fu understood, and so did Elder Bei. The Ming Clan is now as adrift as a rootless Ping, and he now understands that if he can't come up with a credible and feasible plan, their Ming Clan may fall into a deep crisis, or even a directionless future.

"Elder Bei, there's a woman looking for you outside, and she's been waiting for a long time" Just as Elder Bei was sitting in the tent thinking about the bleak future of their Ming clan, a soldier guarding outside the tent bowed down and turned into the tent, and he could notice the deep worry and sorrow on Elder Bei's face. But he still had to report such a news, and now that the situation was critical, even though he didn't want to disturb Elder Bei, he still whispered what he wanted to say.

Elder North glanced coldly at the guard, and slowly the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated. He let out a long sigh and turned away with his hands behind his back. He waved his hand and motioned for the long-awaited woman to come in.

I don't know what kind of feeling it was, it seemed that just between the blowing of a breeze, Elder North suddenly felt a chill on his face. Elder North turned around with a snort, only to see an equally cold face.

"Holy Maiden, why are you here" The person in front of Elder North made him feel extremely familiar, but then he asked in a voice of great surprise.

The person who came was a veiled woman, who did not seem to be able to tell her exact age from her budding body, but she was really not that old. The girl was wearing a white dress, and her voice was as cold as frost, which made Elder Bei's heart cold.

"Hmph, I didn't want to come, but I can't bear you to bury all the last inheritance of our Ming clan," the holy woman slowly took off the veil on her face, revealing a delicate and exquisite face, but there was still a special look of perseverance on her face, and she carried a yellow-dark pipa with a light red glow in her hand. If Feng Yuchong could be here, he would definitely feel very shocked, this rumored "Ming Saintess" turned out to be their classmates in the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy, the girl they used to fight side by side, the girl Yu Fei who was used to being silent and indifferent.

Yu Fei, Nangong Yun and Jiang Yuehan are three girls, Feng Yuchong and they met these three girls because of the opportunity of the three-on-three battle. In fact, to say that in the Royal Academy of Qi Kingdom, Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue, who were at the same level as Feng Yuchong, except for Sun Hao and Luo Yinying, were more familiar with these three girls.

Yu Fei sighed slowly, his eyes stared at the North Elder standing not far from him, this North Elder showed an extremely unwilling look on his face, he stared at the "Holy Woman" Yu Fei in front of him, he suddenly laughed long, and his face showed a look of disbelief. "We've been planning for so long to get to where we are now, and now you're jumping out against me, saint, aren't you too ridiculous?"

Before Elder Bei's words were finished, Yu Fei had already stepped forward quickly without knowing when, and directly stabbed Elder Bei's chest with the Soul Burning Ghost Papa in his hand, and Elder Bei didn't have time to make any sound. Yu Fei had already used his soul power to kill Elder North on the spot.

Yu Fei smiled coldly, looking at Elder Bei, who was slowly falling on her back, with endless anger and sorrow on her face, she suddenly lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Do you want to know why I killed you, not only do I not want you to continue to make mistakes with the last brothers of our Ming clan, but I also want to use your head to seek a future for me."
