Under Luo Xuan's meticulous conditioning, Young Feng recovered very quickly. Luo Xuan had returned to the River of Forgetfulness once and explained some matters regarding Kublai Khan. Everyone knew that this was a serious matter, so they also expressed that they would not be entangled in personal grudges for the time being and would not pursue Phiona's past. Although the two women were dissatisfied with Luo Xuan's concern and protection of Phiona, they were forced to keep quiet.
However, there were still people who questioned the relationship between Luo Xuan and Phiona.
When Luo Xuan wasn't around, Jiang Xue learned a lot about Xiao Feng from Shen Yinan. Although it was just a few bits and pieces, she also knew that she was too impulsive. For her sister and Fang Zhaonan, perhaps all of this was really ridiculous. It was just that the feeling of being abandoned was always lingering. Seeing the intimate relationship between Young Feng and the people in the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, his resentment was mostly due to jealousy. At least Xuan Shuang once had a foster father, and then Fang Zhaonan. Although he had a master, all the favor came from his careful actions and tireless efforts. However, he had always understood her. If the Snowflake Divine Sword had forced her to face death that time, then when the sword pierced into her body this time, he would understand that he could no longer hate her. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame fate for playing tricks on him. Therefore, when he saw Luo Xuan being questioned by everyone in the hall, all kinds of strange gazes gathered on Luo Xuan. Luo Xuan only remained silent and frowned. He could not help but step forward to help him out.
"Everyone, even if you don't believe Nie Xiaofeng, you should understand my father's character. Nie Xiaofeng was now playing a vital role in this war that was about to break out. If anything happened to her, or if there was any unhappiness with everyone, no one would be able to bear such responsibility. As Nie Xiaofeng's master, it's only right for my father to take care of her. As a divine doctor and an alchemist, my father is responsible for saving lives and healing the wounded. As one of the main people in charge of this operation, my father has the responsibility to take care of everyone's safety. When we were injured and poisoned that day, everyone's antidote was also sent over by Phoenix Perch Pavilion's housekeeper, Ah Li. Now, we can't offend Nie Xiaofeng.”
"Heroine Mei is right, but the relationship between Hero Luo and Nie Xiaofeng is too ambiguous. As a righteous person, even in such an alliance, it's better to keep a clean conscience and not ruin Hero Luo's reputation.”The Emei Nun Jing Shui did not like Xiao Feng's arrogance, so she spoke rudely.
Luo Xuan had expected to face such a question, but he still chose to remain silent. Xiao Feng, himself, and others were ultimately not qualified to interfere. Luo Xuan directly ignored their words and could not be bothered. Shangguan Honglie, Fang Zhaonan, and Shen Yinan were discussing the recent emergency.
While Jiang Xue was dealing with this group of people who liked to take things seriously, the Phoenix Perching Pavilion and the Great Song garrison sent news at the same time. This time, Hu Bilie was determined to win this round. One hundred thousand cavalry had gathered on the plains outside Black Water Town, where the three kingdoms met. Their formation was strong, and this battle seemed to be unavoidable. Although it was only a small scale test, it was also a drill for the final battle. At this moment, not only did the Song officers rush here to ask for reinforcements, Murong Qingyue had also personally come to the Perching Phoenix Pavilion in disguise. Xiao Feng and the old Murong Prince had a long chat in the living room before coming out.
Luo Xuan and the other Song officers rushed to the front line first. The subordinate of the Phoenix Perching Pavilion only gave Luo Xuan a letter and did not say much else.
After coming up with an idea, Phiona told General Murong about her plan. The old general had been on the battlefield for most of his life, so he was not very worried about the current tense situation. After hearing Phiona's idea, he was very appreciative. After making a plan, they all rushed to Black Water Town.
Haotian and Qingcheng received Phiona's instructions and arranged for the next time. Li prepared several brocade carriages. Phiona and General Murong set off slowly the next morning.
Although it was an emergency at the border, the general and the Phoenix Lord were leisurely. A day's journey took them two days to arrive. When the carriage arrived at Black Water Town, the streets were already sparsely populated. The guards had almost sealed off the main road. The guards on the city tower were tightly guarded.
Upon seeing the arrival, Ye Yuxuan, the Black Water Guard General, and Chen Lei, the Great Song General, came to welcome them. Luo Xuan, Fang Zhaonan, and Shangguan Honglie also followed.
The four brocade carriages stopped in front of everyone. Although they knew that the people in front of them were extremely noble, the two generals, who were used to the simple and serious style of the army, had a look of dissatisfaction in their eyes. When Young Feng and Nian 'er finally got out of the car, they were even more upset because they were very familiar with General Murong and were his disciples. Ye Yuxuan said directly,"Your highness, we're here on the battlefield. Why are even children here? I can't afford to be injured by these noble people in embroidered clothes! Your Highness, I heard that you were coming to help. I thought you would bring tens of thousands of troops. I didn't expect you to bring…"
"Hahaha, Yuxuan, you've misunderstood. This is the Phoenix Master of the Phoenix Perched Pavilion. This is Princess Yu, and this is Young Master Nian Luo. They are the assistants the emperor invited for us. This time, you don't have to listen to my commands. If there's anything, just tell Young Feng.”General Murong's bold words made Ye Yuxuan very curious. However, there was nothing different about the woman in white clothes in front of him. She was more like a white orchid blooming under the moonlight. She was beautiful beyond compare and her expression was indifferent. After a simple meeting, General Murong habitually went to patrol the tower with Ye Yuxuan and Chen Lei to check on the military situation. Little Wind did not stay idle either. He brought Nian 'er and Liang Yu to the only restaurant in Black Water Town.
Under Xiao Feng's orders, Qingcheng's Shadow Killer and the Phoenix Guard Army of the Phoenix Perching Pavilion trained by Hao Tian had already arrived at Black Water Town. This time, General Murong did not bring reinforcements because of the existence of such a hidden force. That was why they could be so leisurely, as if they were sightseeing.
After entering the restaurant, everyone's eyes immediately gathered on them. These days, the city had been sealed off, and these Jianghu people and some passing merchants could only stay in restaurants. Almost no outsiders entered the city. Now that three guests in brocade clothes suddenly entered, everyone whispered to each other. Looking at their bright but not vulgar yet elegant faces, they could not help but guess the identity of the visitors. They walked toward a table by the window.
Hao Tian and Qingcheng had been waiting for Phiona for a long time. When they saw them come in, they smiled at each other. As expected, they were the center of attention wherever they went, but she didn't care about anything.
After taking a seat, Young Feng went straight to the point."Is everything ready?" Although the tea in the cup was not exquisite, it was still edible here. Xiao Feng only frowned and took a sip before putting it down. Nian 'er, who was used to eating delicious food, did not touch the cup at all. She looked at them and did not know what they were discussing. She was confused and soon fell asleep.
Seeing Nian 'er sleeping on the table, Hao Tian couldn't help but ask,""Why is this young master here too? The conditions here are not as good as at home.”
Young Feng glanced at Nian 'er and said,"The poison that Nian 'er refined is not fatal. This will be more useful in this battle. There is no need to hurt anyone. Besides, he is still out to train. If I am not around one day, he will have to live on his own.“
"Xiao Feng, are you hiding something from us?”Hao Tian had heard a lot about Phiona after he came back. He felt that something was wrong with Phiona this time, but he didn't know what the problem was. Now that he heard Phiona's words, he felt uneasy.
However, Young Feng only smiled and shook her head."It's fine, you guys follow the plan. I'll take Nian 'er back first. Remember, don't leave any flaws.”
Haotian and Qingcheng nodded, and Phiona carried Nian 'er back to General Manor.
There were almost no passers-by along the way other than the guards. It was so quiet that it made people panic.
Xiao Feng hugged Nian 'er with a serene expression.
Looking at Young Feng, Liang Yu had many questions in her heart. In the end, she couldn't help but ask,""Aunt, did Kublai Khan ask big brother for a marriage alliance?”
"Hmm? Yu 'Er, why are you talking about this?”Young Feng knew that she had hidden this news, so there shouldn't be many people who knew.
"When aunt was recuperating, brother brought me to the palace once. It was the empress who told me, and she said that brother refused. Now, Kublai Khan is forcing me to not let go.”Liang Yu thought of Shen Yinan's figure and felt a sense of desolation. Recently, Shen Yinan seemed to have a lot on her mind, although she knew from the beginning that the possibility of her being with him was very small. They had different identities and positions. Even if Shen Yinan didn't care about the rumors in the world, she had to consider the reputation of Shangguan Castle. Now, Shangguan Honglie was more and more opposed to the two of them. Even if they wanted to be together, it was not easy.
Looking at Liang Yu's sorrowful expression, Young Feng suddenly thought of her past self. At that time, she had just understood her feelings for her master. Although she did not care about the so-called etiquette, her master cared. All her feelings could only be hidden in her heart and carefully. After knowing that there was no hope for happiness, the despair and desolation in her heart could almost destroy people. Why did Yu 'er have such an expression now?
"Yu 'Er, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you. No one can force you to marry someone you don't like.”Young Feng looked at Cold Jade seriously and vowed.
"I know. Aunt won't let Yu 'Er suffer." Liang Yu smiled.”
The sky gradually darkened, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire Black Water Town.
Wind and rain are coming, and half the city is covered with smoke and sand.
