The sound of horse hooves as thunder sounded from the mountain road. The soldiers on duty in Taiping City were shocked to find that on the road leading to the city gate, a horse was in front and dozens of war horses were behind, and like a gust of wind, rolling towards the city gate.

"It's General Li!" On the city gate building, Zou Zheng saw the knight on the front horse at a glance and shouted loudly, "Open the city gate, open the city gate."

The city gate had just opened a gap for people to pass through. Qin Feng and his war horse had already passed through this gap, leaving a back for the soldiers guarding the city. Everyone's faces were filled with a big exclamation mark.

Dazhu stopped the war horse with a whistle, his clothes were already wet, unable to tell whether it was sweat or snow. His face was covered with mud, and he looked exhausted. Behind him, the horse monkey was even more lying on the horse, as if he could not even speak.

Their group returned from Changyang County with Qin Feng. They were alone and two horses, almost sleepless. Even the iron-clad men were depressed at this moment.

"Mahjong, is it okay?" Zou Zheng got off the city wall and tied the horse's reins for Mahjong. He asked with concern. It seemed that Mahjong was in a very bad condition.

"Brother Zou, make some ginger soup and give each brother a bowl to get rid of the cold. Also, prepare some food." Mahou raised a very tired face from the horse, "In addition, we need a bed and have a good sleep."

"Okay, you'll be ready soon." Zou Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Dazhu turned over and dismounted, walked over and pulled the horse monkey off the horse. They just ran one side and couldn't stand it anymore. The horse monkey ran from Shayang to Changyang and then from Changyang County to Taiping City, which was twice as far as they were. Relying on Dazhu's solid shoulder, the horse monkey closed its eyes and actually snored.

"Good guy, are you asleep now?" Dazhu was surprised and held the horse monkey on his shoulders with a short body and walked towards the city with big strides.

In Taiping City, a group of people were gathering in Wang Hou's house, discussing countermeasures. This emergency may have a great impact on the Taiping Army. The battle of Qi and Chu, which has been rampant, is probably going to begin this time. What kind of attitude should the Taiping Army take in this war that affects the mainland pattern? It is exactly the question that all Taiping people need to think about.

"Mr. Liu, tell me, the number of people here is the most knowledgeable and has a better grasp of big things than us." Wang Hou spoke first. If you only look at official positions in the room, of course, he is the highest. His relationship with Qin Feng is also closest, but if you really have an influence, you will be inferior to Mr. Liu.

"If I were to talk about my opinion, I want to say that we need to maintain our current attitude and continue to maintain an alliance with the Qi people." Mr. Liu looked at everyone: "We are adjacent to the Qi people. With our current strength, it would be unwise to turn against the Qi people. You must know that the Qi people were stationed in Deng County and no longer moved forward. It was not that they had no strength to destroy the Yue Kingdom, but that they signed an agreement with the Yue Kingdom for political reasons, but that they did not have the right to fight with us. If the Qi people turned against each other and launched a large-scale attack, we were really powerless to stop it. Don't forget that our main force is still in Changyang County."

Everyone was silent. Mr. Liu's words were of course correct, but now this matter involves the relatives of Princess Zhaohua and Qin Feng, so things are probably not that simple.

"The Qi people still need us, and they are afraid that we will rebel. You must know that the Chu people are still in Baoqing. My opinion is that if the Qi people do not turn against each other first, we cannot openly fight them against them." Ge Qingsheng also expressed his opinion.

Zou Ming was the only military general here who led troops. He stood up and shouted: "I don't care about these things. I just want to say that if the general calls for a beating, I will beat you. The people of Qi are too shameless. Do you think we are easy to bully? Give them a lesson and let them know that we are not easy to bully either."

The clever hand who rushed back from Taiping Iron Mine also slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Zou Ming is right. Taiping Iron Mine has now been on the scale and the weapons construction has already been on track. We can provide the army with enough weapons. Moreover, Lufeng has already set up an army of 3,000 people in Taiping Iron Mine. I think it is well trained, at least I can fight if I pull it out. In addition, Zou Ming's army and General Liu Xingwen's city guard of Shayang County, with nearly 10,000 troops, there is no possibility of a fight. Fight first and then talk, at least they must hand over the children."

"Blow, Shu Hui doesn't hand over the child, then beat him!" Shu Chang knocked on the table viciously and looked at everyone and said.

Wang Hou looked around and saw that both sides had a clear attitude. He suddenly felt a little headache. He really felt that he could not make decisions with his wisdom about the major events that might affect the survival of the Taiping Army.

"Let's talk about it when the general comes back!" He kept pulling his beard and muddy.

Everyone fell into silence for a moment. In the silence, Luo Yishui, who was squatting behind Wang Yueyao, suddenly stood up and pulled Wang Yueyao's sleeve, "Here's here!" He said inexplicably.

Immediately, Mr. Liu stood up, his face very surprised, "So quickly?"

While everyone looked at them for some reason, the sound of horse hooves was already heard in their ears, and they soon arrived outside the yard.

The horse's hooves stopped suddenly and the neighing sounded. The door was pushed open by someone, and Qin Feng's dirty face had already appeared in front of everyone.

"Where is Ruoxi?" He asked at everyone with a hoarse voice.

Everyone in the room stood up and bent down to salute Qin Feng.

"Where is Ruoxi!" Qin Feng ignored everyone and asked loudly again and again. "How is she now?"

"The princess's injury is not serious, it has healed now." Wang Houdao.

"But she has left again." Old Master Liu added.

"What happened!" Zou Ming said.

"Shu Hui stole your children!" Shu Chang jumped out and shouted loudly: "I guess now that Min Ruoxi and Ying Gu must go and fight Shu Hui with her."

It was very simple, but Qin Feng immediately understood everything that happened. Min Ruoxi was fine and could still be lively, which made him feel a little relieved. His pair of children who had never met had been snatched away by someone sent by Shu Hui, which made him heartbroken.

"Shu Hui?" He gritted his teeth and hissed, "What do he want to do?"

Recalling the other party's vague attitude when he bid farewell to Shu Hui in Changyang County, Qin Feng suddenly realized it. Both sides knew the extremely fragile alliance between them. The Qi people were most worried about the Chu people landed in Baoqing on a large scale, which caused Qi people to be attacked from both sides. Then Qin Feng, a force that lies across the two sides, seemed extremely important. However, because of his relationship with Princess Zhaohua Min Ruoxi, Qin Feng had great uncertainty in Shu Hui's view, and he could turn against Qi people at any time. Once the Chu people colluded with Qin Feng, the blow against Qi people would be fatal, especially after Shu Hui understood the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army more and more deeply, this feeling became stronger.

It is obviously beneficial to Qi people to take Qin Feng a soft threat and threaten Qin Feng to maintain a biased attitude towards Qi people in this struggle.

Children are naturally the best bargaining chips. Qin Feng believes that if Min Ruoxi had not reached the ninth level of martial arts and had a master like Yinggu around him, Shu Hui might have thought of capturing Min Ruoxi together.

"General, no matter what, even if the child falls into Shu Hui's hands, he will not be in danger of his life." Mr. Liu said slowly: "He just wants to use this to threaten the general. With the current situation, it is better for us to maintain the status quo. In addition, we will send someone to negotiate with Shu Hui, so that he can understand the general's attitude and force him to hand over the child."

For a moment, Qin Feng had already thought a lot. As Mr. Liu said, the child would not be in danger of life when he fell into Shu Hui's hands, but Min Ruoxi was different. With Min Ruoxi's strong temperament, if she did not take back the child, she would definitely not give up. Instead, her situation is more dangerous now.

No matter how high Yinggu’s martial arts skills are, since Shu Hui dares to do this, he has naturally made a comprehensive plan. In the face of thousands of troops, what is the effect of the martial arts skills?

Calm down, you need to calm down now. As he suppressed his anxious mood, Qin Feng kept telling himself. Everyone was looking at him, and every decision of his own means the life and death of countless people and the future of the entire Taiping Army.

He sat down and closed his eyes slightly.

A decision must be made. Children cannot give up, Min Ruoxi cannot be in danger, and the future of the Taiping Army must naturally be taken into account.

The room was so quiet that it seemed that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard clearly. All eyes were concentrated on Qin Feng's body. In this atmosphere, even Luo Yishui tightly covered his mouth.

After a while, Qin Feng stood up suddenly.

"Zou Ming, lead your Pili Camp to the border of Feng County to prepare for battle. Notify Liu Xingwen of Shayang County City that the whole county will enter a state of war!" He said loudly.

"I understand!" Zou Ming said excitedly. For him, killing back to his hometown was his always dream.

Qin Feng glanced at Mr. Liu who wanted to speak, shook his head slightly, and then said, "Yueyao, inform Shu Hui through the people from Taipingfang, so that he could understand that the consequences of forcing me would be very serious."

"I understand!" Wang Yueyao nodded.

"I'll chase Ruoxi, she might do stupid things. Mr. Wang, you should take charge of Taiping City first and arrange the command. Mr. Liu, you can support Mr. Wang."

"General, let Xiaoshui follow you. There is a great risk to go there. Xiaoshui can help you." Wang Yueyao said.

"Is he okay?" Qin Feng hesitated a little. Luo Yishui's martial arts skills were naturally high, but this guy's temperament could not be controlled.

"I will let him listen to you in everything." Wang Yueyao said affirmatively.
