Chapter 17 - The Dawn of the Stars

On the evening of the second day of the fall of Xuancheng, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei and the five thousand cavalry led by Zhou Yu, the general of the country, finally rushed to the outside of Xuancheng City, at this time they had learned that Xuancheng had fallen Xuanle Jun was killed in battle, and most of the 50,000 elites had lost half of the exact news, this news made everyone's hearts unhappy no matter what, they temporarily rested on the mountain pass near the woods, and the four supreme commanding generals gathered together to discuss the development of the situation and the measures that should be taken.

Zhou Yu, as Chen Xinyu's trusted confidant, has already understood Chen Xinyu's thoughts, although she didn't say it explicitly, Zhou Yu will understand the deep meaning that Chen Xinyu never said. Now the main force of the country is attacking the rear of the dark army in the area of Licheng and Quecheng in the north, and once the dark army occupies Xuancheng and defeats the most elite army of the Qi country, it will inevitably go north to counterattack the army of the country. In this way, their original plan will be frustrated, and they will face the main army of the Dark Legion, so will there be any chance of victory? Zhou Yu was like a mirror in his heart, and they would not be the opponent of the Dark Legion with their own strength anyway. Therefore, how to distract the attention of the Dark Legion and buy them time has become the key to Zhou Yu's thinking and silence now. Compared to the interests of others, what he is doing now is trying his best to protect the interests of leaving the country, if he leaves the country to face the dark army head-on, everyone can think that this will definitely not have a good result and end. If so, it is better to get out of this chaotic situation as soon as possible and wait for the opportunity to appear.

Feng Yuchong, as Xuan Lejun's envoy, they have also been guided and cared for by Xuan Lejun, for the news of Xuan Lejun's death, his heart is like being pressed a big stone that cannot be moved away, he wants to cry bitterly to exert his helplessness and fear, but no matter what, he has to force himself to calm down and think about all this in front of him, all of this has reached the point where he will fall into the abyss once he takes a wrong step. He forced himself to stabilize and said silently: "The situation we are facing now is already very serious, the Dark Legion has broken through the stubborn defenses of Xuancheng, and His Majesty Xuanle Jun has also died in Xuancheng City. However, our Qi country has not perished, and there is still the main force of our Qi country in the southern city, as long as Her Majesty Empress Shengde is willing to cooperate with us, coupled with the power of the white-clothed celestial maiden, we still have a chance to win. ”

Feng Shanshan also agreed with her brother's opinion, but she had some thoughts of her own, "However, we still don't have a good way to deal with the Dark Legion now. The combat effectiveness of the Dark Legion is still above us, how can this be good?" Yu Fei also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Feng Shanshan's opinion, it was not a wise choice to rashly attack against the Dark Legion when there was no good countermeasure.

Zhou Yu, who was standing next to the three young men, was still silent, and no one knew what he was thinking. Of course, although Feng Yuchong is young, he also knows that Zhou Yu's silence is the most frightening, and he is the commander in command of these five thousand elite troops, if they say something offensive, I am afraid they will not be able to eat and leave. At this time, it is wise to take the initiative to ask and test Zhou Yu.

"I don't know what General Zhou thinks?" Feng Yuchong looked sideways at Zhou Yu, who was standing not far from them, and Zhou Yu recovered his gentle image from his usual indifferent state, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know much about the Dark Legion, but His Majesty has been telling me about this, I am not familiar with these or the three of them make a decision." However, I still propose to temporarily evacuate back to the north, and with the mountainous terrain of the north and the detour of the Dark Legion, delay as long as possible, and maybe there will be some changes within the Dark Legion at that time. ”

Zhou Yu's words were tactful, and he did not reveal any of the plans proposed by Empress Shengde. Feng Yuchong smiled helplessly, looking back at Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei behind him, Yu Fei gently tugged at Feng Yuchong's sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive first.

Feng Yuchong naturally understood this, "Then according to General Zhou's proposal, we will return to the north first, and prepare to deal with the plan that the Dark Legion may go north in a big way." ”

"Look, there's someone there!" The departing soldiers guarding outside the mountain range crossing shouted out loudly before Feng Yuchong's words fell, and in an instant, the eyes of all the soldiers and even Zhou Yu were attracted by this shout. Because the sky is very dark now, except for Zhou Yu and Feng Yu who lit a circle of burning torches on their side, there is no light in the rest of the place, Zhou Yu waved his hand and motioned the guards behind him to come forward with torches to take a look at the situation. Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, and Yu Fei also approached curiously.

The situation outside the mountain crossing was brightened by the light of the torches, but with the arrival of Zhou Yu and the three young men, the situation here became more complicated. On the crossing, there was a pretty figure wearing a black night coat and a bamboo hat on his head, although it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman from his face, but his figure and figure could prove that this person was a woman.

Zhou Yu came quickly and asked in his usual loud voice, "What's the situation?"

"Back to the General, we don't know what happened, this woman suddenly appeared and fell here unconscious, and we don't know what happened, so we ask you to come and have a look. A heavily armed soldier replied.

Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei walked over along the light of the torch, and when they stared, they felt that this person seemed to be very familiar, Feng Shanshan volunteered to step forward and take off the black mask on her face, Zhou Yu also took into account the fact that men and women do not kiss, so he did not let his soldiers take the initiative to step forward, since now Feng Shanshan volunteered, it would be better.

Feng Shanshan stepped forward, squatted down lightly under the torches held by the six departing soldiers, raised her right hand and slowly pulled open the hat mask on the woman's face, when she saw the woman lying on her side on the ground through the firelight, she felt that this woman looked indescribably familiar from her figure, and after gently removing the hat, she unconsciously exclaimed, "Sister Yun'er......... How are you ...........?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Feng Yuchong and Yu Fei couldn't help but change, from the original curiosity to a kind of disbelief, they were not in Xuancheng, so they didn't know the situation of their three companions after the city of Xuancheng was broken. It was only through the outpost that they learned that Xuancheng City was broken, Xuan Lejun was killed, and 50,000 elites were intercepted and killed by the Dark Army when they evacuated Xuancheng. Now that they suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, they couldn't believe it. Feng Yuchong and Yu Fei hurriedly stepped forward, and the two of them helped up this companion Nangong Yun in night clothes from both sides, what they never dared to imagine was that their companion Nangong Yun appeared in front of them and had already fainted here, which also made the three of them not very acceptable.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and signaled the rest of the soldiers to retreat temporarily, leaving only six departing soldiers with torches to stay in place, he had decided to directly lead the army to evacuate here and return to the northern Li City overnight, according to the news he received, the current Dark Legion has been gathering a large army to prepare to go north to counterattack and leave the country, after witnessing the fall of Xuancheng, he must persuade Chen Xinyu to stay out of the matter no matter what, he can't push himself to the front line of confrontation with the Dark Legion, it really can't be withdrawn and return to the Xuanling Continent, in short, he can't fight hard with the Dark Legion。

Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei didn't pay attention to Zhou Yu's silent departure and the withdrawal of the departing army, their attention all stayed on the companion in front of them, they sat down separately and protected Nangong Yun's side, Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei supported Nangong Yun's body on the left and right and protected it in the center. And Feng Yuchong, who was leaning aside, took out the Nine Domains artifact Qimen Bagua from his arms, released it from his hand and put it on top of Nangong Yun's head, Qimen Bagua glowed with a clear and translucent light, and gently used his own strength to help Nangong Yun recover.

Qimen's ability to gossip is indeed thorough and very strong, plus Nangong Yun herself was not too seriously injured, it was only because of excessive physical exertion and huge setbacks that she fainted at the crossing of this mountain range where she originally wanted to flee to the north. But fortunately, now the Dark Legion was reorganizing its army and preparing to march to attack Licheng in the north, and did not notice her escape, and the fourteen twin thorn cultivators who followed Nangong Yun were all trapped in the camp of the Dark Legion, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

It didn't take long for the power of Qimen gossip to make Nangong Yun recover from excessive physical exertion, and her originally locked eyes slowly opened, and the first scene that came into her eyes was the three companions who were close at hand, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Yu Fei all looked at her with a nervous face, and the tears hidden in Nangong Yun's eyes instantly surged out, and she threw herself into Yu Fei's arms and sobbed in a low voice. "Fei'er, I'......... I didn't help His Majesty Xuan Lejun........... Defend Xuancheng............ His Majesty Xuan Lejun.......... I'm afraid it's already ................"

The originally forced smile on Yu Fei's face also turned into an endless sadness, she gently touched her head with Nangong Yun's hair, and whispered: "Yun'er, we all know what happened in Xuancheng............ His Majesty Xuan Le Jun was martyred, Xuancheng fell, and Rambo and Lu Deng were nowhere to be found.........."

Feng Yuchong walked over and gently patted Nangong Yun's shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice: "Yun'er, don't be too sad, we don't have the opportunity and time to be sad now, our Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent has reached the moment of life and death, no matter what, we have to cheer up now to stabilize the situation as much as possible, let's go back to the north to find Ying'er and Sun Hao first, and stabilize the situation as much as possible while the Yue clan has not yet fallen, since the battle of the Rising Star has begun, it can't be stopped." .............”
