Chapter 91 - Bodhi Enlightenment (Snow Phoenix)
Luo Yinying and Sun Hao are also quite smart people who react very quickly, and now Feng Yuchong's words are only halfway through Luo Yinying and Sun Hao have already guessed a rough idea, since Feng Yuchong has mentioned the forces under the command of Princess Rong Le, this force does not belong to the command of the Holy Emperor, but a part of the army led by Princess Rong Le herself. This includes the generals who were once proposed and promoted by Princess Rong Le, as well as the Xuanyi Women's Army itself formed by Princess Rongle, this 20,000-strong Xuanyi Women's Army composed of all unmarried women has become a force to be reckoned with in Zhongcheng after years of development and training. The Holy Emperor also deployed this Xuanyi Women's Army within the scope of the Zhongcheng Defense Army, and now the Holy Emperor led the main force of the Fengzhan Society to leave Zhongcheng to attack Yicheng, where the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden coalition army was stationed, and still did not mobilize this Xuanyi Women's Army.
With the main force of the Feng Zhanhui attacking Yicheng, at this time, there were only 35,000 soldiers left in the army stationed in Zhongcheng. Among them, the 20,000 Xuanyi women's army under the personal jurisdiction of the eldest princess Rong Le, the Holy Emperor Yiming Empress Bu Lian, and the 15,000 feudal soldiers led by Qin Yue, in fact, part of them belonged to the direct descendant of the imperial family of the former feudal country, and later after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he only reshuffled the cards and re-dispatched the officials above the rank of captain to the internal people of the Fengzhan Association under his command, and did not replace all the soldiers, among which more than 7,000 soldiers who were once subordinate to the royal family are not fully loyal to the Holy Emperor, in their hearts, the status of the former Princess Rongle is still much higher than that of the Holy Emperor, If one day the eldest princess Rongle and the Holy Emperor break up, they will still be loyal to the eldest princess Rongle who once belonged to the royal family.
Because of this, there are currently more than 30,000 troops in Zhongcheng, of which at least more than seventy percent of the troops and soldiers will be loyal to Princess Rongle Bu Lian, and her own status and prestige are extremely high in the feudal country. Of course, although she is now secretly contacting the white-clothed celestial girl forces where her daughter is located, as well as the Qi forces that remain in the city. But Rong Le Eldest Princess Bu Lian didn't have any radical ideas, the main purpose of what she was doing now was to protect her daughter, and at the same time, to weaken the influence of the Dark Legion on her husband, the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao. As the pillow person of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, she knew better than anyone that the Dark Evil God was nominally leading the Dark Legion to support them in sealing the country against the Qi State and leaving the country, but in fact, it was secretly changing and influencing and even corrupting the will of the Holy Emperor himself, although it was not very clear to others, but the eldest princess Rongle looked at it very carefully. The reason why she contacted Qi Guo and secretly supported her daughter was actually quite complicated. However, to put it bluntly, the most superficial thought of Princess Rong Le Buluan is to help her husband and daughter get rid of the control of the dark army, and also to fight for the hope of survival for the people on the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent.
It was precisely because of this that Bu Lian secretly sent an envoy to Huicheng to form contact with Feng Yuchong and them, and took the initiative to propose measures and countermeasures to help Qi State. At the same time, she continued to contact the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden and the departing coalition forces, of course, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to support the departing troops who were currently trapped in Yicheng, at most secretly transmitting the news and trying to reverse the current thoughts and plans of the Holy Emperor.
However, in the early morning of this day, Princess Rong Le Bu Lian suddenly received a flying pigeon message from Feng Yuchong in a hurry, because Qin Yue's current army temporarily left Zhongcheng to occupy Donglin Pass, so Zhongcheng was basically under the control of Princess Rong Le. Taking advantage of the current outstanding combat effectiveness of the Xuanyi Women's Army, Princess Rong Le Bu Lian successfully controlled the inside and outside of Zhongcheng, and this flying pigeon biography that would have caused violent fluctuations did not cause any waves like a stone sinking into the sea.
In the palace, the eldest princess of Rong Le Bu Lian was flipping through the flying pigeon biography written by Feng Yuchong in her hand, from which she probably knew the general content of Feng Yuchong's adventure to send this flying pigeon biography, at the beginning Feng Yuchong described the predicament faced by the military and civilians of Qi in the city in a friendly attitude and letter, and the main content of this letter is to establish a more stable friendly relationship with her, and hope that she can secretly help them through the current crisis. Whether it is the lack of food and grass internally, or the possibility that the external dark legion may go south again at any time, this is an extremely tricky matter. In his letter, Feng Yuchong also briefly explained the crisis facing the Qi State now, due to the lack of manpower and the inability to easily organize a large-scale lineup to do things, Feng Yuchong euphemistically expressed the hope that the eldest princess Rongle Bu Lian and the forces under her command could help the Qi State in some ways. These are relatively ordinary words, and Princess Rong Le Bu Lian can also understand that Feng Yuchong's current identity is unusual, as one of the current highest-ranking leaders of the Qi State, he will naturally ask her for help, as an ally.
However, what Princess Rong Le was interested in was that at the end of this letter, Feng Yuchong actually proposed that he seemed to have discovered a mysterious force that existed on the Nine Domains Continent, and once he saw that this power might be able to reverse the current extremely passive situation. Out of curiosity, when Feng Yuchong sent this pigeon letter to her for help, he also handed over all the surrounding matters to his companions Sun Hao and Luo Yinying to deal with, and Princess Rong Le Bu Lian had also heard the names of these two young people, not only because they were also her daughter's partners and former comrades-in-arms. Sun Hao and Luo Yinying are also one of the important members of the six-member ruling parliament of the former Qi State, although their identities and status cannot be compared with Feng Yuchong, they can be regarded as one of the representatives of the Qi State. Princess Rong Le Bu Lian was curious about what this mysterious power Feng Yuchong was talking about.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess Rongle Bu Lian handed the flying pigeon biography in her hand to the most important and trusted henchman around her, Su Hui, the young commander of the Xuanyi Women's Army, to read it, Su Hui was ordered by the eldest princess Rongle Bu Lian to enter the palace to accompany her today. Su Hui was dressed in a crimson military uniform, with silver-white arm guards and white jade rings around her hands, and she had short black hair that was a little different, revealing her incomparable heroism and a man-like resolute aura. In fact, Su Hui is not only unmarried and even quite young, but she is only twenty-nine years old this year, but she has already experienced many things that ordinary people cannot understand and predict.
Su Hui has been practicing martial arts with her father and brother in the army since she was a child, and she has been surrounded by a group of boys, she has been like a boy since she was a child, not only resolute but also quite arrogant. Su Hui, who used to live like the stars holding the moon, experienced a great change ten years ago. Her father and brother were both killed in the battle between the Feudal Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom, and her mother also died that year, and she fell to the bottom from the environment where she had been protected and cared for by the stars and the moon.
Later, although she couldn't make a living in many places, she followed her father to practice family martial arts since she was a child. And not long after, with her martial arts, when Princess Rong Le returned to Zhongcheng and re-established the Xuanyi Women's Army, Su Hui showed a superb martial arts like a silver stream with a silver spear and two knives, which amazed all the audiences on the school field that year, they couldn't believe that a young girl who was only twenty years old could show such smooth martial arts and smooth and meticulous skills, Princess Rong Le Bu Lian especially liked this young girl with high martial arts, so she deliberately took her under her command and became a small general of the Xuanyi Women's Armyγ At that time, Su Hui didn't even guarantee three meals a day, and the simple leather clothes she was wearing had been broken and covered with several pieces of pudding, because during this time, the family property was swallowed up, and her face was sallow and her body was thin.
After entering the Xuanyi Women's Army, Princess Rong Le attached great importance to her, so she focused on cultivating her, and even quietly connected her to the palace of Xuancheng to let her enjoy a worry-free life of food and clothing, and took the initiative to send female officials to teach her a series of things needed inside and outside the palace. And Su Hui herself is a smart and studious person, but because she is in the midst of great changes, she can't bear to face the facts. Princess Rongle Bu Lian's meticulous care for her like a sister and a mother made her witness a warm world again, so she also had great respect for Princess Rong Le, and Princess Rong Le Bu Lian was like her mother's status.
Until now, after several years of development and improvement, Su Hui has also adapted to life in the court, she has learned a lot about women's etiquette and even governance and management of subordinates while practicing martial arts at the same time, and her status in the Xuanyi Women's Army has also risen, and she was even appointed as the governor of the Xuanyi Women's Army last year, officially taking up this extremely important position. Of course, Su Hui has experienced the improvement and precipitation of these years, and her ability is naturally different from what it used to be.
Su Hui has always been strict, she is quite meticulous and even unkind in her way of dealing with people, and the soldiers and civilians in the city, including other members of the Xuanyi Women's Army, are afraid of her, and even because she is wearing a snow-colored blue jade, which is rumored to be a family heirloom of her family. Therefore, there is another name for her in the Xuanyi Women's Army - "Snow Phoenix", she is not only superb in martial arts, but also indifferent and indifferent like frost, except for the eldest princess Rongle, she will not even show a smile in front of the Holy Emperor, and it is difficult for others to find out her true thoughts in her heart.
At this time, Su Hui, who took the pigeon letter from the hands of Princess Rongle, gently opened it and read it carefully, and then she handed the pigeon letter back to Princess Rongle. "Eldest sister, I thought that Feng Yuchong's letter asking for help at this time must be because Qi Guo's current military morale is unstable, and he needs the support of external forces if he can't handle it internally. I don't know, how does the eldest sister plan to deal with this matter, if you hesitate, why don't you listen to my thoughts first? Maybe it's not too mature. β
