Chapter 35—The Secret of Eternity (Guilt)

Life is a long and long road of no return, and it is impossible to go on like this all the time. The setbacks, vendettas, betrayals, and old grudges encountered along the way are all the shackles of your life, and only by truly realizing that there is no self in your heart, can you forget these fates and truly achieve your own life. - "The Legend of Red Dust Love"

Outside the East Gate, the rising sun at this moment is projected on every place on the Demon Spirit Continent, and time has passed, but the East Pass is still standing here. Today, there are still more than 10,000 neat Qi troops standing in horizontal rows above the East Linguan. There were four men standing in front of the army. A middle-aged man wearing a Lan robe, this man has a delicate and neat complexion, and there is no trace of the killing aura of a military general. However, this man who was wearing a Lan robe and no armor was indeed the real leading general of this East Linguan, Chen Jie's deputy general, Zhang Lingyi.

The three standing beside him, on the left was a general in golden armor, this general was a little different from Zhang Lingyi, his face was slightly reckless, and his rough face was full of excitement and joy. This general is Jin Xu, one of Chen Jie's three deputy generals.

And not far from these two people, the man in white was Feng Baiyi, and the woman next to him was also his wife Xia Qing. The two of them are now in the East Linguan, the last time they came, and successfully assisted the five thousand cavalry in the East Linguan to raid the camp of the three halls of the feudal state, through the plan that Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing had planned before, the three halls and the first hall of the feudal kingdom were not harmonious. Santang had experienced a surprise attack of 5,000 cavalry in the previous period, and the feudal state itself had always looked down on the army of the Qi State. They would never have imagined that the army of the Qi State would have such an opportunity to react and attack like a desperate fight. The three halls of the closed country all thought that it was an internal cleanup launched by the first hall of the closed country. They didn't want the three halls of Qi to get the credit for capturing Donglin Pass this time, so they deliberately used the excuse of Qi State's counterattack to raid them. This made Feng Guo Santang feel angry in his heart, and he hated them for coexisting with them so much that his heart dripped. So today, Santang also launched a surprise attack in the case. There was a terrible civil war between these two elite 30,000 troops. And this incident did not affect the blue lion flag of Qi floating high on the tower of the East Linguan City. The Qi State is still stationed at the Donglin Pass, and even the Qi State army has recovered several surrounding hills, relieving the most difficult crisis in the East Linguan. And now, it is the best time for the Qi army to wait for the opportunity.

At this time, Donglinguan had already survived the most difficult period. Now they only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and laugh at the infighting between the three halls of the feudal country. These 60,000 troops even fought in front of the soldiers of the Qi army displayed above the city tower and set up a formation around their camp. He didn't care at all about the attack that Qi might launch at any time.

It stands to reason that launching an attack now is not an opportunity, and Jin Xu also wants to lead the army to reap the benefits of the fisherman. However, Zhang Lingyi, who had the supreme command of this army, temporarily stopped Jin Xu's bravery. Now that the Qi army has gone through many days of fierce defensive battles, their combat effectiveness and energy have suffered great damage. Since the feudal armies on the other side are both elite armies, I am afraid that they will not be able to decide a winner quickly for a while. If they are so rashly dispatched, maybe they will also throw a rat trap, and the two sides will jointly launch a counterattack against their Qi army. Zhang Lingyi thought that since the current feudal army would not be able to face off for a while. They might as well simply let the soldiers rest for two more days, and then go to the muddy waters again after they have fully rested, in order to get the most out of it.

Later, after Zhang Lingyi's explanation, Jin Xu also accepted Zhang Lingyi's suggestion, and stabilized the situation at this moment first. However, the more he watched, the more excited he became, wishing that the infighting between the first and third halls of the country would be more powerful now. In this way, they will be able to return to Shiruocheng after all, and crush the wave of Ming uprising in the bud. However, Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu, and even Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, knew that the key to recovering Ruocheng was to be able to successfully rescue Chen Jie, the southern governor of Qi State. As long as Chen Jie can be rescued, there are some possibilities to recover Ruocheng and even defeat the more ambitious feudal state. Therefore, in recent days, Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu's spies have rushed to Ruocheng to find out how the rescue plan is progressing for Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan, who went to Ruocheng to rescue Chen Jie, the governor of the southern part of Qi State.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a messenger with a letter on his body rode a fast horse and rode from the east border to sprint. The man who looked like a messenger was obviously a person who came to deliver the message, and Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu couldn't help but secretly get excited in their hearts. I hope that this envoy will bring back good news for them, such as the good news that Governor Chen Jie has been successfully rescued and is on his way here.

"General Zhang, General Jin", as soon as the messenger jumped off the horse, he called out loudly to the two generals Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu who were standing on the city tower. However, Zhang Lingyi keenly noticed that there was no smile on the face of this envoy, and there seemed to be a trace of bitterness and sadness. Zhang Lingyi thought that it was possible that Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan did not rescue Chen Jie, so the envoy's expression was slightly sad. However, this doesn't really matter, as long as they win the victory here, they can still rescue Chen Jie when they return to Shiruocheng.

"What's the matter, didn't you rescue the governor?" Jin Xu was straightforward, he was thinking about it with Zhang Lingyi. In fact, those who know Jin Xu know that Jin Xu is not a reckless man who can only go to the battlefield to fight. On the contrary, he is also an all-rounder with both civil and military skills, but in front of Chen Jie and Zhang Lingyi, his literary talent and martial arts basically do not need to play any role. However, Jin Xu, who seems to be five big and three thick, has a bit of meticulousness in his heart. He also noticed that the emissary-looking man's face did not show any joy.

The messenger rushed all the way up, and as soon as he stepped up to the city tower, he fell on his knees in front of Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu. said in a sad voice: "Oh no, the Governor was attacked and killed by Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan, and the corpse has arrived outside the gate."

"What are you talking about!" Not only Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu, but even Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who were originally just parked on the side, also had a big change in their expressions. They couldn't believe that what this envoy said was that Chen Jie had died, and he had been attacked and killed, and more importantly, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing couldn't believe their ears, Chen Jie had died at the hands of Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, and Feng Shanshan? How could this be?

Under the dim moonlight, a girl in white clothes has an ethereal gaze like the wind, her body is exquisite, and her skin like white jade shows through her long skirt under the bright moonlight. The girl's face was dazed, her snow-like jade feet lightly touched the ground, and her mouth kept saying as if talking to herself: "No, it's all my fault, why did I choose such a path of no return, why did I kill all the people I loved?"

"Sister Yue! stop! There is the Xuanling River ahead," the white-clothed girl kept walking forward, deaf to the angry voice that came from behind her many times. Her white dress was very conspicuous in the darkness, and a blue-shirted boy who had been following her quickly chased out of the woods behind. He had been there all the way anxiously shouting to the girl in white in front of him, but the girl in white in front of him was walking fast, and the young man in the blue shirt was a little lacking in physical strength, plus the light kung fu was not good. Along the way, even after chasing for nearly two hours, he couldn't catch up with the girl in white. At this time, the young man in the blue shirt keenly saw the bright moonlight against the Qingguang River. The young man suddenly realized that they had run all the way from Ruocheng to the bank of the Xuanling River not far from Jincheng. In this way, the young man had to cheer up and try his best to catch up with the woman in white in front of him.

This young man was Feng Yuchong, and the woman in the long white dress he was chasing was none other than Gao Hanyue, who had entered Ruocheng with them earlier and was injured to the ground. Gao Hanyue's mother died tragically after blocking four arrows for her, and Chen Jie, who was originally their most trusted, had been plotting against them all along, using them as pawns for his revenge, how could it not make them break down in one day?

Gao Hanyue's earthly smile was fixed in Feng Yuchong's mind, and he could understand Gao Hanyue's cries on the verge of collapse and the endless sadness in his heart. Feng Yuchong only followed Gao Hanyue along the way, and he didn't and didn't want to stop her. Only now, the streamer of water from the Xuanling River was reflected in front of their eyes. Feng Yuchong had to hurry up his pace, wanting to stop the current Gao Hanyue from jumping directly into the Xuanling River.

The figure of the white dress and white dress like a crescent moon froze in mid-air, and Gao Hanyue's voice rising from the ground was tactful and ethereal, sounding in Feng Yuchong's ears like a midnight requiem. In front of her was the Xuanling River, the longest river on the Demon Spirit Continent. "I have no friends, no relatives, no things I want to pursue, everything I have been hurt completely, I still can't pursue what I don't have in this life, it's better to just be a hundred"
