"The Holy One has arrived!"

Just as Ling Feng was talking to the Great Elder of the Qing Family, a deep voice came out, resounding throughout the huge square in front of the entire Longyuan Palace.

"The saint is here!"

"The saint is here!"

The eyes of the heads of the various families who were talking lit up. I saw Xue Hongze, who was wearing a dragon robe and was full of imposing spirits, walked out of the Longyuan Palace slowly accompanied by a group of imperial guards, condescending, looking down at the thousands of black and oppressive crowds in the square of the palace.

"See the Holy One!"

Suddenly, the three thousand Royal Forest Army and the people of various families in the entire square fell to one knee on the ground, and the loud voice resounded in the sky.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!" Xue Hongze raised his right hand and said with a smile.

"Brush!"

The sound of neat armor was heard, and everyone in the square stood up at the same time.

His eyes slowly swept over the morale of the Royal Forest Army and the people of various families in the square, Xue Hongze nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly: "The heavy responsibility of going to Maple Leaf City to rehabilitate will be handed over to you, this emperor is here for you today, I wish you a victorious start and a triumphant return!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

Hearing Xue Hongze's encouragement, everyone's eyes flashed with excitement, waving the weapons in their hands one by one, constantly shouting loudly, and their hearts were full of confidence in this war.

Then Xue Hongze picked up a glass of wine from the tray held by the maid on the side, bowed slightly to heaven and earth, and then respectfully sprinkled the wine on the ground in front of him.

This is the ritual before the army on the Lingwu Continent sets out, which means praying to heaven and earth for blessings and asking heaven and earth to bless the army with great victory.

After sacrificing heaven and earth, Xue Hongze set his eyes on Zuo Yu, who was standing at the front of the three thousand imperial forest troops, and nodded slightly.

After getting Xue Hongze's will, Zuo Yu drew out the purple electric sword at his waist, turned to look at the three thousand Royal Forest Army sergeants, pointed his sword at the sky, and shouted loudly: "All the Royal Forest Army soldiers listen to the order-the army will set off immediately and go to Maple Leaf City!"

"Yes!"

The neat answer was like a thick thunderbolt, resounding throughout the palace. Three thousand Imperial Forest soldiers and more than 5,000 people from major families walked out of the palace in an orderly manner.

"Although Maple Leaf City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, these eight thousand men and horses are all selected elites, and their strength is not weaker than that of an ordinary army composed of tens of thousands of horses, and the other party only has more than a thousand people, and this time they will definitely be able to successfully take Maple Leaf City!" Watching the soldiers leave, Xue Hongze's heart was full of confidence.

......

On the avenue from Longyuan City to Maple Leaf City, dust was everywhere, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves was like rolling thunder, and more than 8,000 horses galloped quickly, and even the earth trembled. Many pedestrians on the official road were even more startled by this posture and carefully avoided them one by one.

In order to be able to rehabilitate and deter the enemy as soon as possible, Xue Hongze not only sent a strong army this time, but also equipped each soldier with a war horse that can travel hundreds of miles, and with the speed of their march, it only takes about four or five days to reach the Maple Leaf City!

The cavalry of more than 8,000 people was like a tumbling dragon, advancing rapidly. At the front of the team was Zuo Yu, who had a cold face, and the leaders of the major families.

Although Zuo Yu's strength is not the strongest among these people, as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, he is the best at leading troops to fight, so Xue Hongze appointed him as the supreme commander of this rehabilitation, and even the major families in the same company have to completely obey his dispatch.

But just when this cavalry team had just left Longyuan City, a snow-white carrier pigeon rose from Longyuan City and flew towards Maple Leaf City with its wings fluttering.

A day later, in the Maple Leaf City, where the east and west are surrounded by mountains, and the entire city is only a few miles away, a snow-white carrier pigeon fell into a tall mansion in the Maple Leaf City.

A burly man in armor with a sword mark on his cheek took down the secret letter tied to the pigeon's leg, opened it, and read it carefully.

"On the sixth day of September, eight thousand cavalry set out from Longyuan City and hurried towards Maple Leaf City, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Maple Leaf City after the fourth day. These 8,000 cavalry included 3,000 Imperial Forest Army, as well as 5,000 men and horses from the major families of Longyuan City. These include the Qing family, the Zhou family, the Meng family, the Yang family, the Liu family, the Xu family, the Han family, the Ling family, ......"

"Brother Wang Qiang, take a look too. The burly man read the contents of the secret letter and handed it to a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes beside him, "I didn't expect that Xue Hongze to be really decisive enough, knowing that this Maple Leaf City is a man who can't be opened, and ordinary troops can't break it at all, so he just sent his three thousand royal forest troops and the men and horses of the major families directly! It seems that we have to fight a tough battle in three days!"

The thick-eyed young man "Wang Qiang" swept the contents of the secret letter, but his eyes fell on the word "Ling family" in the letterhead, and he gradually frowned, and his eyes were even more angry.

"This Ling family...... It should be the Ling family who killed my uncle Wang Xiong in Pingyang City, and then was recruited by the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" Wang Qiang even trembled involuntarily because of his anger, and a fiery innate true qi erupted from his hand, turning the secret letter in his hand into ashes, "If it weren't for the so-called genius Ling Feng of their Ling family, my uncle would not have died at all! If Ling Feng comes this time, I must avenge my uncle and let Ling Feng die under Maple Leaf City!"

Thinking of his uncle who died tragically and his father who was sick in bed, Wang Qiang's teeth were gritted, and the green tendons on his arms were even more violent.

"Brother Wang Qiang, that Ling Feng is a genius-like figure, I heard that even the eldest prince can't help him in Longyuan City. And this time the other party has a lot of people, it's not so easy for you to kill him!" The burly man Pan Feng patted Wang Qiang's trembling shoulder, "We must avenge your uncle's revenge, but you don't forget our purpose of occupying Maple Leaf City, remember not to delay the big thing because of personal vendetta!"

Being reminded by Pan Fengyi, Wang Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, and nodded decisively: "Thanks to Brother Pan's reminder, otherwise I almost missed a big event." You're right, we should focus on the big picture!"

glanced at Wang Qiang approvingly, and Pan Feng showed a rare smile.

......

After three days of rapid travel, the 8,000 men and horses of the Eastern Jin Dynasty led by Zuo Yu had already arrived in a valley less than 100 miles away from Maple Leaf City.

"Set up camp here today, everyone rest for the night, and prepare to attack the city at dawn tomorrow!"

Zuo Yu gave an order, and the eight thousand men and horses suddenly stopped and began to set up camp and bury the pot to make rice.

Ling Feng also set up a tent with the Ling family, and after eating, he walked quickly to his tent, ready to rest. But as soon as he opened the curtain, Ling Feng saw a sergeant in silver armor sitting in his tent with his back to him.

"Hey, who are you?" Seeing that although he was wearing armor, he still had some familiar back, Ling Feng couldn't help frowning slightly, and opened his mouth to ask.

Hearing Ling Feng's voice, the sergeant couldn't help but turn his head happily, and directly removed the helmet on his head, revealing a head of black and bright hair like a waterfall.

"Why are you here!" Seeing the pretty woman in front of him, Ling Feng was startled and surprised.

"Why can't I come? Can't you get me away now?" the woman laughed, her voice as melodious as the chirping of a lark.
