Chapter 14—Volume I (Part II)

Life is impermanent, and not every path can be chosen and decided by oneself. You may not be able to really make decisions in this life, but that doesn't change your original intention. Everyone will encounter such a difficult journey, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the heart of pursuit of progress. If one day you lose even that, then you will lose everything you could possibly have. - "The Legend of Broken Mountains and Rivers"

The rising glow shone on the edge of a mountain on the edge of the plain. Walking across this vast plain, there is a cross-cutting mountain range in front of you. Obviously, at the end of this plain is into the mountains. This mountain range is the end of the area controlled by Chungseong, the capital of the feudal state, and is called the "Xuanlan" mountain range. And at the end of this vast plain, walking further into the mountains will officially enter the scope of the mountain city of Yicheng. Yicheng is located in a relatively remote area, and the county is still surrounded by mountains. The degree of prosperity and wealth cannot be compared with that of Zhongcheng.

Since the current emperor of the feudal state ascended the throne, the vigorous development of Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal state, not only changed the scope of Zhongcheng's control, but also included some prefectures and counties in the northern city of Shengcheng and the western city of Yicheng into Zhongcheng's sphere of influence. In addition, Zhongcheng is already prosperous, densely populated and commercially connected, and there are actually only two economic and political centers of the feudal country, one is Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal country, and the other is the southern city of Dream City, which was previously commanded by the Holy Emperor and was stationed as the leader of the feudal war society. These are the only two cities that the feudal rulers have devoted themselves to reforming and adapting to Fuxin over the years, as for the areas such as Ikseong and Seongseong, as well as Yeongseong in the north and Monseong in the south, Anseong in the north and Chungseong in the south. The prosperity of these feudal cities is not at all comparable to that of loyal cities. Even Dream City, the original leader of the War Society, and now the place where the Holy Emperor started, has developed slowly under the strict orders of the Holy Emperor, and the production and labor income of Dream City have become the cornerstone of the development of Zhongcheng.

At the end of Pingyuan, to the west of Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal state, is a group of mountains, and from this mountain range, it is under the control of Yicheng, the mountain city closest to the capital of the feudal state. It's just that although Yicheng is the city closest to Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal state, Yicheng is not outstanding in terms of economy, humanities, or politics. Even among the feudal countries, it is rare to hear about the talents that come out of Yicheng. The population controlled by Zhongcheng was about 5 million, while the population controlled by Yicheng was only about 700,000. This is also the reason why the people of the feudal country are reluctant to go to Yicheng, one is because Yicheng is indeed a rugged road, and there are uninhabited mountains for more than 100 miles from Zhongcheng to the west. The second reason is that Yicheng is really sparsely populated and lacks resources, and ordinary people in ordinary feudal countries will never go to Yicheng if they have nothing to do.

However, today, there are several figures around this mountain range, who do not look very old, and as the sunlight gradually rises and deepens, it can be clearly seen that the leader is a young girl wearing a crimson dress with a slight hint of indifference and sadness on her face. The girl wore a head ring made of silk grass on her head, and her face was pretty and beautiful. If it weren't for the fact that people who were relatively familiar with the girl did not know her, they would not have been able to clearly see the faint sadness hidden in the deep eyes of this woman.

Behind the girl was a young man in a light blue robe, with a pair of black boots on his feet, and the expression on his face was also full of indifference and sadness, his face was very delicate, and he looked like a scholar who was not particularly weak.

Then came a young man with a slightly cold face and a black robe. The young man's face was pale, and his steps were steady and calm. Behind him, followed by five girls wearing long dresses of various colors and looking about the same age. The first girl wore a white butterfly dress, followed by a girl dressed in plain and goose egg yellow.

Their steps seemed to be slow, but no matter how slow they walked, the seven of them finally came to the end of the plain at their feet. The vast mountain range that now unfolded in front of them was the place where they were about to part.

The woman in the leader, wearing a crimson dress and a slender head ring around her head, was Jiang Yuehan, and the village they had inadvertently captured earlier Jiang Yuehan already knew was the place where the fragments of the secret world of the feudal kingdom were kept. It's just that Qin Guan, the village chief there, unified Jiang Yuehan as the princess of the feudal kingdom to go through the test of the first volume of the secret classics. It's just that Jiang Yuehan also understands that if he does this, it will inevitably lead to an early breakup between himself and his partners.

The six young people who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old behind Jiang Yuehan were Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun. They had not taken precautions on the road before, so they fell into a trap. And now, Jiang Yuehan himself is about to experience the test of the first volume of this secret world classic, so now is the moment to break up.

Two steps forward, it can be regarded as leaving the boundary of Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal country, and entering the territory of Yicheng. Jiang Yuehan turned his head and held his head high there, his eyes glittering with crystal and surging tears. She knew that this was a fact that she had to face, that she could not choose her own life, so she had to decide what she should do.

Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun also probably understood the deep meaning of Jiang Yuehan's behavior. The six of them also expressed considerable understanding of this, and they also felt the same for the life that their partner could not choose.

Jiang Yuehan turned around, her eyes stared at the sky that was gradually becoming clearer in the distance, Jiang Yuehan took a deep breath, and stared at Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun in front of her, who were also staring at her. She said loudly in an incomparably crisp voice: "You believe me! I will definitely succeed!" After speaking, Jiang Yuehan deeply arched his hand with the partners in front of him, and then turned to leave, for fear that he would be emotional in his heart, so Jiang Yuehan never looked back, and left the sight of Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun step by step.

Feng Yuchong had thousands of words in their hearts that they wanted to say to Jiang Yuehan, but they were all infected by Jiang Yuehan's pride and ambition. However, out of the longing and blessing of their companions, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei, and Nangong Yun still stared at Jiang Yuehan's back until her back disappeared in front of everyone, and then the six of them slowly turned around and stared at the mountain range that belonged to them in the distance.

Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun went to the mountain city of Yicheng, largely to find the father and mother of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, and Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who are also the masters and mothers of Gao Hanyue and Shi Lanbo, Shi Lanbo said last time that Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing are still in Yicheng and should not leave in a short period of time. And now that Jiang Yuehan has to face the test of the secret world classics alone, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun agreed to go to this mountain city of Yicheng to find out first, and by the way, look for Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing.

After the last failure in Zhongcheng, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun can be regarded as summing up some views. Chungseong was the most important city of the Holy Emperor, and it was also the capital of the feudal kingdom. The city and its counties are not only economically prosperous, but also have a peaceful and prosperous life. In such a city, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for any cholera to occur, and the original plan of Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun can only be said to be silently bankrupt.

However, the failure they experienced in Chungseong also taught them a good lesson, and they naturally couldn't see some reason for Chungseong, a prosperous city controlled by the emperor. However, if Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun go to the mountain city of Yicheng this time, it will be very different from Zhongcheng. As a sparsely populated and economically backward city, Yicheng is basically the same as Shengcheng, a northern city that Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue once went to. What may exist in this city is what Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun are interested in. So, they and Jiang Yuehan agreed on a time to meet in Yicheng, and Jiang Yuehan also said that once he passed the test of this secret classic, he would come to Yicheng to find Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun.

At this moment, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun, who were standing in front of the mountain road surrounded by mountains, looked at each other, and their faces all had a comfortable smile. Indeed, they have really gained a lot of insight in this line, and now in addition to silently praying for Jiang Yuehan who is fighting alone, they are more looking forward to the future they are about to meet.

"Let's go!"

Facing the rising sun, the six embarked on a path they had never known before. A long stream of light poured down, and in front of you was a bluestone slab that led to the depths of the mountains. At the top of this staircase is a pavilion where people can enjoy the shade. From then on, more than 100 miles to the west, you can see the shadow of the mountain city of Yicheng.

Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, Feng Shanshan, Shi Lanbo, Yu Fei and Nangong Yun were all full of anticipation in their hearts, of course, they did not discover and foresee the upcoming danger to them
