. It has been a while since he arrived in Baihe. During this period, the two armies have fought many times, fighting generals, fighting formations, using tricks, using tricks, and making tricks. It can be said that neither side is good, and he uses all means. But what Xiao Feng is really depressed is that until today, the true demon army under his command has not advanced at all. Overall, only the Orc Alliance in the Four Nations Alliance has achieved some results in Azeroth, although he has led his troops to retreat to the Tran Fortress

, but the achievements he made before could not be erased. Xiao Fengzhen believed that if there was no accident in Tianyu, Vera of the Orc Alliance would have achieved greater results. Now the Orc Alliance retreated to the Fortress of Terran, and the 70,000 soldiers of the Tianyu Army retreated to the border of the Tianyu Empire to watch coldly. To a large extent, the culprit was the current Tianyu Emperor. If he hadn't destroyed the Great Wall himself, Tianyu's situation would have been no longer the same as it is now.

However, Xiao Fengzhen was not very optimistic about Vera. The Beast King's suspicion became increasingly serious, and the military achievements he had achieved might not be a blessing for Vera. However, this is a matter within the Orc Alliance and has little to do with Xiao Fengzhen, so he did not intend to remind Vera.

"Your Majesty, urgent military information." Xiao Fengzhen's personal guard captain rushed in and reported the report.

"Say." Xiao Fengzhen was reviewing the memorial at this time, and Fang Dahong replied without raising his head.

Fang Dahong hesitated for a moment and said to Xiao Fengzhen: "Your Majesty, it's about the Iron Lun. I feel it's very serious. Your Majesty should listen to what the messenger said in person."

"Huh?" When he heard the word "Tielu", Xiao Feng was immediately interested. Yang Qianli was a stubborn person who opposed his troops. He didn't know what the message he sent was.

"Let him come in." Xiao Fengzhen ordered.

In a short while, a strong man with blood on his body followed Fang Dahong to Xiao Fengzhen.

"See Your Majesty." The messenger bowed on one knee and saluted.

"No gift. What's going on with your blood?" Xiao Fengzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, this is left by those who blocked our messengers along the way." The messenger replied honestly.

"Well? What do you mean is that someone specifically intercepts you?" Xiao Fengzhen asked with a frown.

"Yes, your majesty, this time we are responsible for delivering the letters, and we have twenty-five brothers, and now I am the only one left." The messenger couldn't help but answered with a choking voice when asked about his sadness.

"What news did you bring to me?"

"Your Majesty, there are a large number of regular Feng Yang troops appearing in Admiral Yang Qianli, who is responsible for resisting the Iron Lu Dwarves. Now it has been clear that the total strength of the cavalry is 20,000 and the infantry is 50,000. The commander is Feng Yang's military minister Pang Yi, and the vanguard general is Chen Baxian. This Feng Yang army took down Guyue City a month ago, and with the help of the Iron Lu Dwarves, it quickly occupied the area around Guyue City. It is now confronting Admiral Yang Qianli. However, the troops in Admiral Yang lacked enough troops, so he could only defend himself and was unable to make progress. Admiral Yang sent me to seek reinforcements."

"Why didn't you tell me about an important thing like a bastard?" Xiao Fengzhen asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to tell Your Majesty earlier? It's that we have sent six groups of messengers in a row, but they were all killed halfway. Our brothers twenty-five are already the seventh messengers." The messenger defended Xiao Fengzhen in a low voice.

"...It's my fault. What's your name?" Xiao Fengzhen thought for a while and asked the messenger.

"Your Majesty, the young one is called Qian Manduo."

"Well, Qian Manduo, I'll ask you, have you told someone what you said?" Xiao Fengzhen asked again.

"No." Qian Manduo replied affirmatively.

"That's good. From now on, close your mouth and don't tell others about this for the time being. Now we are in a stalemate with Feng Yangjun opposite us. If someone knows what you know, it may shake the morale of our army, so can you guarantee that you won't tell anyone what you know?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I can." Qian Manduo nodded and replied.

"Okay, I believe in you. Dahong, I will give him a hand to you for the time being. After the money is arranged, you can invite Li Fuchen and the others to me."

"Yes." Fang Dahong agreed and took Qian Manduo and left the tent.

When Xiao Fengzhen was left in the tent, Xiao Fengzhen couldn't help but pick up the teacup beside him and smashed it heavily on the ground. He looked at Feng Yangjun's direction and scolded with hatred: "Is this why you are fearless? Look, I, Xiao Feng, really won't admit defeat easily."

Just when Xiao Fengzhen was still encouraging him, Li Fuchen, Liu Xiyu and Xiao Yang had already arrived outside the tent. After asking the three to make a payment, Xiao Fengzhen did not hide it and told Li Fuchen and the other two that he had heard from Qian Manduo before.

Li Fuchen and the other two were a little confused when they heard Feng Yang's regular army appearing in the direction of Tielu. Before the war with Feng Yang, the True Demon Army had sent warships to block the sea route from Feng Yang to Tielu. Now there were suddenly so many Feng Yang troops. First, the generals responsible for blocking the sea route were dereliction of duty, and second, everyone in Feng Yang's army would fly. But this reason is obviously impossible, so there is only one possibility left, that is, there is something wrong with the generals responsible for blocking the sea route.

After reaching this conclusion, Xiao Fengzhen couldn't help but order the general responsible for blocking the sea route, but was stopped by Li Fuchen. The reason for use was also very reasonable. Now Feng Yang's Navy has just won a great victory, and the True Demon Navy has suffered heavy losses. In order to resist Feng Yang's Navy, the matter of dealing with that general must be postponed. Now is not the time to care about such things.

"We must make a decision now, whether to withdraw our troops or stay here to continue fighting with Feng Yang's army? Yang Qianli's troops are insufficient, so he can't cope with Feng Yang's 70,000 regular troops." Xiao Yang said the three people in the conciliation.

"No need to say, I don't agree with the withdrawal." Xiao Fengzhen denied Xiao Yang's suggestion to withdraw. Liu Xiyu, who was standing beside him, smiled bitterly and said, "Then let's discuss sending that unit back to support Yang Qianli."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fuchen spoke out and opposed: "No, it's too late. Feng Yang's army is not a fool, and we will not be stupid enough to wait for us to send reinforcements to deal with them. Now a month has passed. Even if we send troops back now, it may be that the reinforcements we sent may not have arrived yet, and Yang Qianli has been defeated. Moreover, in Baihe, our army and Feng Yang's army are equal and have drawn away the troops, so we will be at a disadvantage in the soldiers. More importantly, once the soldiers know that the rear is unstable, it will also be a blow to morale."

"What do you think you should do?" Xiao Yang asked glaring at Li Fuchen.

Seeing Xiao Yang's appearance, Xiao Feng couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He knew that Xiao Yang and Li Fuchen had a conflict, and this conflict was initiated by himself. When he was in Jin Luo, Chen Ziqi and Xiao Tong were injured and lying on the bed because of a disagreement. After he found out, he ordered Xiao Tong to take care of Chen Ziqi until the injury Chen Ziqi healed. But the matter happened here. During the time he took care of Chen Ziqi, Xiao Tong fell in love with Chen Ziqi, but Xiao Yang looked down on Chen Ziqi, who was a little bit weak and jealous. In his eyes, his daughter should marry a real man like him, Kong Wu is powerful, and his hair looks like a bear. And a guy like Chen Ziqi who is swaying when the wind blows, hurry up and die.

Who is Xiao Tong? She has never been afraid of Xiao Yang since she was a little afraid of the world. She would not only not listen to Xiao Yang, but also say that if Xiao Yang, the father, dared to stop her, she would elope with others. She made Xiao Yang so angry that the three corpse gods were furious and the five spirits were so arrogant that they could not bear to punish her precious daughter, so she could only vent her anger on Chen Ziqi, who was still shot while lying.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but remember the crying expression when Chen Ziqi complained to him. He couldn't help but curl up his lips and smiled.

"Your Majesty, you have the same opinion." Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Fengzhen with a happy face and said.

"Ah? Oh, not bad, not bad, what did you say just now?" Xiao Fengzhen, who came back to his senses, asked a little embarrassedly.

Xiao Yang: “…”

Li Fuchen, who was standing beside him, shook his head secretly when he saw it, and spoke out to rescue Xiao Fengzhen and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao said just now, it is better to send an order to ask the Empress Dowager to find a solution. With the Empress Dowager's wisdom and means, and Yang Qianli's ability to lead troops, there should be no problem in dealing with the Feng Yang army of Tielu."

"Can it work? The Empress Dowager has not been concerned about the world for a while. Is it appropriate to disturb her now?" Xiao Fengzhen asked hesitantly.

Hearing that Xiao Fengzhen's tone was loose, Li Fuchen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, the Empress Dowager is a real strong woman. If it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty needed to maintain His Majesty's imperial authority after ascending the throne, the Empress Dowager might have commanded the army to aid Yang Qianli now."

"Well... well, then as you said, I will formally issue an order to ask the Empress Dowager to come forward to direct the battle with the Tielu Fengyang Army." Xiao Fengzhen said after thinking about it.

In the imperial palace of Jinluo City, the Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo listened to the rewards of his confidants with a calm expression, and waved his hand gently and said, "Go down." The confidant bowed to take the order and retreated from the palace.

Since he almost died in the fire, Xiao Chuo's body began to deteriorate. Xiao Chuo knew that he was about to reach the end of his life. So since Xiao Fengzhen returned to normal, Xiao Chuo became unable to leave the door and did not step into the two doors. He sat in the newly practiced meditation hall all day long and recited scriptures to pray for his descendants. It was not until Xiao Fengzhen led his troops to fight against Fengyang that Xiao Chuo began to pay attention to the situation where Xiao Fengzhen stayed in Jinluo's court.

A large number of Feng Yang troops appeared in Tielu, Yang Qianli lost Guyue City, and now Xiao Chuo is summoning people to fight back in Gulan City, but she has not asked about it. For nothing else, it is just because Xiao Fengzhen. Xiao Chuo knows Xiao Fengzhen very well. He is a material for being a wise ruler, but he is a bit too strong and has a strong sense of power. He always hopes to take all rights in his own hands. Even his grandmother, who helped him to the top, would not treat him at all. Xiao Chuo knew this very well, so until Xiao Fengzhen allowed him, Xiao Chuo would not act rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings between the two.

And today, Xiao Fengzhen's appointment is finally coming, and Xiao Chuo can finally walk to the front desk with justification and direct a battle he hopes to command.

"Come, go and invite Han Rang and Xiao Gan." Xiao Chuo ordered the eunuch standing at the door.

"Yes." The eunuch at the door agreed softly and turned to find someone.

In a short while, Han Rang and Xiao Gan did not wait, but waited for a girl with an unhappy face. As soon as the girl saw the door, she shouted to Xiao Chuo: "Old ancestor, you have to make the decision for me."

When Xiao Chuo saw someone, he suddenly felt a little hurt in his head. It was not someone else, but Xiao Tong, who was chasing Chen Ziqi but failed.

"So what's wrong? Is that Chen Ziqi still hiding from you?" Xiao Chuo asked after pulling Xiao Tong over and letting him sit down.

"Well. That guy sees me now like a cat. Could it be that he is a mouse?" Xiao Tong replied with a frustration.

"Who told you to beat him so hard?" Xiao Chuo said in his heart when he heard this. But he still had to comfort him, "Tongtong, as the saying goes, this man chases a woman across the mountain, and a woman chases a man across the sha. As long as you have perseverance, that Chen Ziqi cannot run out of your palm."

"But my ancestor, I always suspect that the material of the layer of yarn between me and him is silk, which is inseparable from the sky, and is invulnerable to swords and guns." Xiao Tong said to Xiao Chuo with a distressed look on his face.

"Not as difficult as you said, don't give up and chase it bravely. It really doesn't work... Well, men can use strong men, why can't women?"

"Yes. Ancestor, what you said is really right." After hearing Xiao Chuo's last words, Xiao Tong's eyes lit up, as if she had heard a good word from the golden jade.

"Don't do anything randomly. I'm talking about ways when there is really no way. Don't try it easily. I have seen that Chen Ziqi. Although he is weak, he is stubborn and he is very stubborn when encountering a problem of principle. Don't steal chickens and lose rice until the last time. This way, you wait a few more days, and when your Majesty wins Feng Yang, I ask Your Majesty to give you a marriage. I believe Your Majesty will not refute my face."

After hearing Xiao Chuo's words, Xiao Tong felt secretly calm. After thinking about the idea that Xiao Chuo had just said something, it sounded good, but it was a bit difficult to implement it in detail, because she was not very clear about some of the details in this matter. After listening to Xiao Chuo's subsequent promise, Dugu Yizhi's previous thought of burning his boats naturally faded.

Not long after coaxing Xiao Tong away, Han Rang and Xiao Gan came to Xiao Chuo's palace. When they saw the two of them coming, Xiao Chuo immediately said to them with a smile: "I have already received the news. Your Majesty asked me to come forward to command the appointment letter for the battle against the Tielu Fengyang Army will be delivered to Jinluo soon. I will only say you to you. Three days later, I will treat you to the patriarchs of the families of all and big families in Jinluo City. I hope you can cooperate with me at that time."

"I wonder how the Empress Dowager needs us to cooperate?" Han Rang, who was about the same age as Xiao Chuo, asked out loud.

"Jin Luo has no soldiers to send now, and those who are temporarily recruited are useless. So I want to borrow private soldiers from those families for use." Xiao Chuo looked at Han Rang and Xiao Gan and replied.

Han Rang did not speak, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "Although the private soldiers have combat power, they are not in charge of their respective responsibilities. I am afraid they cannot command the battlefield."

"You don't have to worry about this. Yang Qianli has a way of leading troops to govern the army. The biggest reason why he stayed in Gulan City now is that he lacks military strength. As long as we concentrate all the private soldiers and hand them to him, he will naturally have a way to make those private soldiers honest and obedient."

After hearing Xiao Chuo's words, Xiao Gan said, "I agree with this. The reason why Yang Qianli lost Guyue City this time was that he did not expect that there would be a Feng Yang army in Tielu City, and the other was that most of the elite soldiers in his hands were drawn to the main force of the Feng Yang army to fight against Feng Yang army. Yang Qianli had already done a good job by being able to stop Feng Yang army from moving south with the remaining soldiers in his hands."

After hearing Xiao Gan's words, Han Rang thought for a while and said to Xiao Chuo and Xiao Gan: "Since you both say that, then we will implement this plan. But I also suggest that in order to prevent those private soldiers from causing trouble for Yang Qianli by relying on their own family background, it is better for us to give him something."

"...You want me to lend Qinghong?" Xiao Chuo asked.

"Well. With your sword in hand, I believe Yang Qianli will have fewer concerns when training those private soldiers." Han Rang nodded slightly.

"...Okay, then I'll lend it to him for the time being." Xiao Chuo gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement with Han Rang's opinion.

Li's mansion, Li Fuchen's eldest grandson was talking to Chen Ziqi, joking that Chen Ziqi is now a person who is destined to be a peach blossom. Although Chen Ziqi has become a clerk next to Xiao Fengzhen, Xiao Fengzhen did not take Chen Ziqi on this expedition. The biggest reason is that he doesn't want Chen Ziqi to be killed by Xiao Yang.

而如今陈子奇也是哭笑不得,他怎么会想到,当初那个揍自己的疯女人在接触了自己一段日子以后,竟然会看上了自己.可是自己的身份注定了自己不能接受她,所以陈子奇选择了拒绝.只是让陈子奇想不到的是那个女人很有恒心,在明确得到自己拒绝的答复后还是不死心,时常来探望自己,希望自己回心转意.

"Brother, when will you drink your wedding wine?" Li Linqi asked Chen Ziqi with a smile.

"Brother Li, don't joke with me anymore. I'm having a headache about this." Chen Ziqi replied with a wry smile.

"I really don't understand why you rejected Xiao Tong. Although she has a bad temper and likes to hit people..."

"Master Sun, Miss Xiao is here." The old butler entered the house and said to Li Linqi.

"Which Miss Xiao?" Li Linqi asked without raising her head.

"Miss Xiao Tong, Miss Xiao"

Chen Ziqi stood up suddenly, stepped forward and ran to the back door, and said to Li Linqi while running: "Brother Li remember to say I'm not here."

"Hey..." Li Linqi just raised his hand, and Chen Ziqi had already run out of the room. He put down his hand helplessly. Li Linqi asked the old butler, "Where is Miss Xiao now?"

“Oh…”

Li Linqi looked at the old housekeeper in confusion and asked, "Tell me, why are you rude?"

"Ms. Xiao is now at the back door." The old butler replied honestly.

"...Not good" Li Linqi also stepped forward to the back door, hoping to catch up with Chen Ziqi for the last time...
