Chapter 35 - The Secret of Eternity (Fuluan)
Where lies the way back, no one knows the way forward. Riding a horse galloping through the ages, this life is loved by the beloved curtain in the heart. Forget all memories and pursue your future. She never told me about her past and future, but she didn't know that no matter what she was, how she is, how she will be in the future, I will always chase her, even if she will tell me with her back, there is no need to chase. - "The Legend of Yun Shen"
Yu Fei slowly walked out of the camp where Elder Bei was, at this moment, the surrounding sky gradually began to bloom with a bright look, since it was now early autumn, the temperature on the Demon Spirit Continent was not as hot as it was some time ago. The blood stains in her hand have been wiped away, and the Burning Ghost Pipa in her hand that was originally used to kill Elder North was also hidden behind her by her, and in her hand she is now only holding the white jade token that Elder North used to mobilize this 30,000 Ming army, this token is very chic, Yu Fei knows that this token of Elder North plus the artifact Burning Ghost Papa in the Holy Land of the Ming Clan, she will definitely be able to mobilize this army smoothly and let them find a bright path again, instead of continuing to walk in the darkness like this. You must know that the morale of the Ming army is low now, and there is nowhere to find food, grass and supplies for soldiers. Not to mention the march of troops to attack Jincheng, even retreating has become a deep luxury. If the Ming people continue like this, no one will be spared. This is something that Yu Fei absolutely does not want to see. She could let Elder North die, but she wouldn't let the last force that might support her disappear like this.
And as soon as Yu Fei walked out of the big tent of the Northern Elders, the personal guards of the four Northern Elders standing outside the camp all surrounded him. They knew that Elder North had been in a bad mood recently, and he would never easily meet with any unknown outsider, and he had talked to this outsider for so long. These guards in armor all quickly surrounded Yu Fei in front of them, and asked nonchalantly, "What's the matter, this girl, how are you and Elder Bei talking now, I wonder if there is a plan to deal with the current crisis?"
Even though these guards didn't know that Yu Fei was the current saintess of their Ming clan, they didn't even know Yu Fei very well. However, Yu Fei was still very eye-catching, after all, this woman had been talking in Elder Bei's camp for so long, and they also had a trace of respect for her. In addition, these four guards have been following Elder Bei, and they still know a little about Elder Bei's vigorous support for Yu Fei to become the next saintess of the Ming clan. It's just that I forgot about it for the time being because of the urgency of the recent war.
Yu Fei shook his head slowly, and said to the guards in front of him with a smile: "I don't hide it from you, I am the rumored Ming Saintess Yu Fei, how about you please invite the generals of various armies to come here to discuss matters first?" After speaking, Yu Fei took out the white jade token taken from Elder Bei from his wrist, this token is exquisitely clear, and the white jade is crystal clear. It is a rare item that ordinary people can't imitate, and although the guards standing in front of Yu Fei had a hint of surprise on their faces, they all turned their heads and left. Not long after, eight commanders of the 30,000 armies of the Ming clan had already appeared in front of Yu Fei, and they came to the North Elder's camp with them, as well as the four personal guards of the North Elder, these four personal guards followed the North Elder for more than ten years, and at the beginning, when Yu Fei proposed his identity, the four of them did not react for a while. However, as time passed, these four guards wearing silver armor and holding sharp silver spears have already reacted, this girl, isn't it Yu Fei, the holy heiress who was vigorously supported by Elder Bei back then?
When they came back with the seven commanders, they originally planned to ask Yu Fei about his specific identity first, but they didn't expect Yu Fei to say directly and fearlessly: "Elder North is dead, and now the Ming Clan, it's my turn to take charge! Although Elder North can bring you hope for revenge, he can't bring you the path to light! Therefore, I have sent him on a path to happiness, and he will leave this world without pain, remorse and anger!" At the same time, Yu Fei held the white jade token of Elder North high in his hand, waiting for the reaction of the eleven people in front of him.
Yu Fei's voice was loud and loud, resounding in the clear and gentle Rising Sun Zhongkong Valley, and her words directly shocked the eleven people who had just arrived in front of them, and at the same time made them all realize that Elder North had died in the hands of this Ming Saintess. In the middle of the ring, one of Elder Bei's personal guards, his burly figure and solemn face, could only hear him ask in a deep voice: "You, shouldn't you spend time with Elder Bei through this difficult time, why do you still do this, don't you know that we won't support you?"
For the personal guards of these four Northern Elders, they also knew a little bit about what happened back then. After the self-detonation identity of this Ming saintess Yu Fei, they still have some impressions of this Yu Fei. But they also didn't expect that Yu Fei would be so direct, not only directly attacking and killing Elder Bei, but also obtaining Elder Bei's white jade token, seeing the token was like Elder Bei coming in person. This token made the seven commanders who originally wanted to be powerful now dumb, and they were waiting, if the four guards of the Northern Elder agreed to this Holy Maiden Yu Fei to lead their army, they would also choose to accept it. But if the four Northern Elders' cronies and guards did not support Yu Fei, they would not support Yu Fei, but would work together to take him down.
Yu Fei also understood that she summoned these seven generals here at the same time, which was actually a gamble. If none of the seven generals supported her, even if she could use the strength of the Burning Ghost Peggio to get rid of the seven generals. But if he does so, he will lose his last support and leverage. Now that she has revealed her identity, she naturally won't do it until the last moment. What she has to do now is to find a way to stabilize the personal guards of these four Northern Elders.
Yu Fei sighed leisurely and said slowly: "It's not a secret, for us, our Ming clan has suffered unequal treatment from the beginning. Without any crime or mistake, we were ruthlessly purged by the previous emperor of the Qi State. The situation was extremely tragic this time, and our Ming clan lost nearly sixty percent of their people's lives, money and food. It is precisely for this reason that the seeds of hatred have been planted in the hearts of the remaining surviving members of our Ming clan. Until now, our Ming people have had a total of two uprisings, which sounds good, called revenge. But if it doesn't sound good, who knows if there is selfishness? The leader of the Mingyue Heavenly Kingdom Uprising back then was He Yu, the guard general of Donglinguan, if he was really for our Ming clan, he should have not asked for help from the feudal kingdom on the way to attack Ruocheng. But because of the feudal country, the wolf was brought into the house, and it suffered a strong blow. In the end, most of the members of the Ming clan who followed him in the rebellion at that time were lost. And now, doesn't Elder Bei have his own selfish intentions? Now that he has succeeded in fighting against Shui Ruocheng, most of the army of the General Qi State has basically been lost. Then he should withdraw from this continental turmoil and save the last branch of the Ming clan, but what about the northern elder? He was still not reconciled, he not only attacked Huicheng in the south along the way, but also went north to attack Jincheng, which is now heavily garrisoned by Qi State. So in the current situation, do you think they really have no responsibility? They have put a glossy skin on their selfishness, can they really say: They have no selfish motives?"
Although Yu Fei's voice was not loud, and there was not even the slightest ripple in her voice, her voice was full of shock. The shocked faces of the four guards in front of them were indistinguishable, making them feel a hint of chill. After a long time, one of the guards, who looked a little shorter, asked in a calm voice, "Then, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, don't you have your own selfish intentions?"
His voice was as sharp as a knife, and his indifferent eyes stared directly at the girl Yu Fei in front of him. Yu Fei's dress fluttered in the wind, and her body looked a little thin. But Yu Fei's voice was also indifferent, "I am selfish, I don't deny this, but, now these 30,000 troops are our last Ming tribesmen, maybe there are old and young women hiding in the mountains, but, do you really want the Ming people to disappear from now on?"
Yu Fei's voice was unusually sharp, and her voice carried a hint of anger. Just when the four guards and the seven commanders in front of him were thoughtful. Yu Fei struck while the iron was hot, and took out his current artifact, the Soul Burning Ghost Pipa from his back, the artifact in the Holy Land of the Ming Clan.
"This artifact soul, presumably you should be familiar with it" The burning ghost pegga is Yu Fei's last killer feature. Now that she had moved the eleven people in front of her, now was her best chance. In Yu Fei's hand, the scorching ghost pipa was filled with a little ripple like water.
"Isn't this the pipa in the holy land of the Ming clan, didn't even the patriarch get the recognition back then" The sound of the burning ghost pegga is different from other pipa, its voice is more ethereal, sad and tactful, and the sound played makes none of the Ming people who heard it at that time be able to forget such a sound.
Yu Fei smiled faintly, "What is your choice now?"
