Chapter 401 Only one person is needed to pass
"Shh!" Situ Lian put her hand on Qingyu's lips, "Don't get excited, your body can't take it."
Panting heavily, Qingyu said, "I...will definitely expose your evil deeds to the world and avenge the hundreds of lives of my Xiao family."
"Yu'er, after all these years, how can you still be so naive? You have met my father, and the evidence has been placed in front of him. How did he treat you? If it weren't for me, you would have died again."
"You... your Situ family are not worthy of being emperors!"
"Okay, okay, don't get excited. The chicken soup is cold. I'll have someone prepare some porridge for you. Just wait."
After Situ Lian left, Qingyu tried to move her body, but... her forehead was covered with sweat and she still couldn't move.
She smiled bitterly, Xiaojiu, this time... she might have to break her promise. She... can't go back...
One of his arms and ankles was exposed due to the struggle, revealing the wounds of his hand and foot tendons. Although medicine had been applied, the blood-soaked cloth still looked so horrifying.
Situ Lian left the secret room, her eyes became sinister and fierce. She had been suffering from illness for many years, and even though she was recovering, her face was still very pale.
Outside the Prince's Mansion, several people from Fengyu Pavilion were hiding secretly. They had been waiting outside the Prince's Mansion for several days, but had not discovered anything.
Situ Lian stayed in the mansion every day except going to the palace, and had never been anywhere else.
"Brother, is Miss Qingyu really in the Prince's Mansion? Leader Long Yi has secretly entered several times, but always returned empty-handed. Should we... look for her somewhere else?"
"Just keep guarding. Leader Long Yi can't be wrong."
Daqing, border.
In the main tent, Chu Chenfeng and several generals were discussing how to fight Simon.
This time, Duanmu Qing took to the battlefield personally.
While he was attracting firepower at the front, his son Duanmu Huo took advantage of Daqing's unpreparedness and captured two small towns on the other side.
Although it is not a fortress, Duanmu Huo is a cruel and ruthless person. He even used the people in the city as bait to force Chu Chenfeng to compromise.
He had only one request, which was that Chu Chenfeng go to Xueling Town in person.
Otherwise, he would kill ten people every day until Chu Chenfeng appeared.
As soon as the news was released, he killed ten innocent civilians and even hung their bodies on the city gate.
"Your Majesty, please let me go. I don't need many, just 20,000 men, and I will definitely take back Xueling Town."
A black-faced general volunteered. His name was Fang Shen, and he was a veteran under Ye Feng. He had rich experience in leading troops in battle and was impatient. When he heard that Duan Muhuo had killed innocent people indiscriminately, he lost control of his temper and had to kill the bastard himself.
Chu Chenfeng didn't say anything, but Ye Feng waved his hand.
"Duanmu Huo has 50,000 troops at his disposal. Don't underestimate the enemy, Lao Fang."
Fang Shen was not convinced. "General, I know that Duanmu Huo is not a good person and is a bit clever. But I have fought on the battlefield for many years. Although I am not as brave and skilled as the prince and the general, I am enough to deal with a bug like this."
Chu Chenfeng did not speak, but looked at Erbao who had been standing outside the crowd without saying anything. Dongzi noticed this and pushed Erbao to the front.
All the veterans in the tent were either those who had followed Ye Feng through life and death for many years or those who were Chu Chenfeng's capable men. Originally, seeing the two young men being called to the main tent by the prince, they were very curious. Judging from the current situation, the prince seemed to trust these two people.
Chu Chenfeng was very direct, looking at Erbao without any emotion, "What do you think?"
Although Erbao is young, he is very calm. He said expressionlessly, "I think the prince should go."
"Tell me why."
"First of all, although Xueling Town is not an important place and the town is not big, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the town. Duanmu Huo is ruthless and has no bottom line. If his demands cannot be met, ten people today, tomorrow... it's hard to say."
Chu Chenfeng nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"The second is the morale of the army. If the war god of Daqing doesn't care about the lives of innocent people, the hearts of the generals fighting on the battlefield will be chilled first. If the morale of the army is unstable, there is no need to talk about other things. The third is the most important."
Everyone looked at him. What could be more important than unstable military morale?
Erbao continued calmly, "Everyone has forgotten what is behind Xueling Town."
Fang Shen asked in confusion, "The back? Isn't there a deep abyss behind? It's so deep that you can't see the bottom. If you accidentally fall in, there will be no trace of your body left."
"What about the other side of the abyss?"
On the other side of the abyss...it seems...
Chu Chenfeng looked at Erbao with admiration. As expected, this child was extremely talented.
Another general whispered, "The other side of the abyss is the territory of Northern Qi..."
Everyone was shocked. That's right, the other side of the abyss was Northern Qi.
"But... that is a bottomless abyss that has existed for hundreds of years. No one from Northern Qi has ever been able to get over there. This... this is simply impossible."
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes. "Simon is eyeing us covetously. That's something everyone has known for so many years. Northern Qi's Crown Prince Situ Lian is a sinister and unpredictable person. Ever since we knew he had a private connection with Duanmu Qing, we have been on guard against him. But for so long, the Northern Qi army hasn't made any moves. I thought..."
Chu Chenfeng looked at Qingmu who had been silent beside him, "Do you know that abyss?"
Aoki nodded, "I know."
"Are you sure you can get through?"
Aoki still nodded, "Okay, but it will take some time."
Everyone in the tent began to whisper, and no one doubted Qingmu's words. Someone close to the prince, and a close guard, couldn't possibly say anything nonsense.
But some people still refused to give up. "Even if they can get through, they have to be masters like this brother. How many people can do that in this world?"
Dongzi stepped forward at this time and said, "Only one person needs to pass."
"What do you mean?"
"As long as one person can make it through, it will be easy for the others to cross the abyss."
An old bearded general obviously didn't believe it. "You are such a boastful young man. Do you know what is under that abyss? It is so deep that no one in the world knows what is under it. Moreover, Xueling Town is several miles away from the abyss if it is on the ground. How are you going to get across?"
Facing the doubts of the old generals who were much older than him, Dongzi did not back down at all, "As long as there is a rope that is long enough and strong enough, we can pass."
"Ha, ha, ha, I said you are just bragging. I don't have this ability. Brothers, can you pass it?"
The other people in the tent shook their heads, indicating no.
"I can pass." Dongzi said firmly.
"I can do it, too." Erbao also stood up.
