Back to the Peak

"The Holy One is here!"

Just as Ling Feng was talking with the elder of the Qing family, a deep voice came out, resounding throughout the huge square in front of Longyuan Hall.

"The saint is coming!"

"The saint is coming!"

The eyes of the heads of the various families who were talking were all brightened. I saw the majestic Xue Hongze in a dragon robe, accompanied by a group of imperial guards, slowly walking out of the Longyuan Hall, looking down at the tens of thousands of dark crowds in the square in the hall.

"See Your Majesty!"

Immediately, the three thousand Imperial Forest Army and people from various families in the entire square knelt down on one knee in unison, and the loud voice resounded through the sky.

"Everyone loves you!" Xue Hongze said with a smile while raising his right hand.

"brush!"

The sound of orderly armor came out, and everyone in the square stood up at the same time.

His eyes slowly swept across the morale of the Imperial Forest Army and the people of various families in the square, Xue Hongze nodded in satisfaction, and said in a clear voice: "The task of rehabilitating Maple Leaf City is now entrusted to you, the emperor is here today I will do my best for you, and I wish you victory and a triumphant return!"

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

Hearing Xue Hongze's encouragement, everyone's eyes shone with excitement. They waved their weapons one by one, and kept shouting loudly, full of confidence in this war.

Then Xue Hongze took a glass of wine from the tray held by the maid at the side, bowed slightly to the world, and respectfully sprinkled the wine slowly on the ground in front of him.

This is a ceremony before the army on the Lingwu Continent goes out, which means to pray to the heaven and the earth, and ask the heaven and the earth to bless the army with a great victory.

After sacrificing to heaven and earth, Xue Hongze set his sights on Zuo Yu, who was standing in front of the three thousand Imperial Forest Army, and nodded slightly.

Obtaining Xue Hongze's will, Zuo Yu pulled out the purple electric sword from his waist, turned around and looked at the three thousand Imperial Forest Army sergeants, pointing the sword at the sky, and shouted loudly: "All the Imperial Forest Army officers and soldiers listen to the order - the army will set out immediately, Go to Maple Leaf City!"

"yes!"

The neat reply sounded like a thunderous thunder, resounding throughout the palace. Three thousand Imperial Forest Army and more than five thousand men and horses from major families walked out of the palace in an orderly manner.

"Although Maple Leaf City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, each of the eight thousand troops is an elite that has been selected by thousands of people. Their strength is not weaker than that of an ordinary army composed of tens of thousands of horses. Moreover, the opponent has only a mere thousand people. This time, we will definitely be able to Successfully captured Maple Leaf City!" Seeing the soldiers leaving, Xue Hongze was full of confidence.

On the avenue from Longyuan City to Maple Leaf City, dust was everywhere, and the deafening sound of horseshoes was like thunder. More than 8,000 horses galloped so fast that even the ground trembled. Many passers-by on the official road were taken aback by this posture and avoided carefully one by one.

In order to be able to rehabilitate as soon as possible and deter the enemy, Xue Hongze not only dispatched a powerful army this time, but also equipped each soldier with a horse that can travel hundreds of miles a day. You can reach Maple Leaf City in just one day!

The cavalry team of more than 8,000 people is like a tumbling dragon, advancing quickly. At the forefront of the team were the cold-faced Zuo Yu and the leaders of the major families.

Although among these people, Zuo Yu's strength is not the strongest, but as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he is the best at leading troops to fight, so Xue Hongze appointed him as the supreme commander of the redress, and even his colleagues The major families in the country have to fully obey his orders.

But just when this cavalry team left Longyuan City, a snow-white carrier pigeon soared into the sky from Longyuan City, flapping its wings and flying towards Maple Leaf City.

One day later, in Maple Leaf City, which was surrounded by mountains from east to west, and the entire city was only a few miles around, a snow-white carrier pigeon landed in a tall mansion in Maple Leaf City.

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

"On September 6th, 8,000 cavalry set off from Longyuan City and rushed towards Maple Leaf City. It is estimated that they will arrive in Maple Leaf City in four days. The 8,000 cavalry included 3,000 Royal Forest Army and 5,000 major families of Longyuan City. People from the Qing family, Zhou family, Meng family, Yang family, Liu family, Xu family, Han family, Ling family..."

"Brother Wang Qiang, you should read it too." The burly man finished reading the contents of the secret letter, and handed it to a thick-eyed young man beside him, "I didn't expect that Xue Hongze was really decisive. Knowing this Maple Leaf City is one man guarding the gate, ten thousand men cannot open it, and the ordinary army can’t break it at all, so he just sent his 3,000 Imperial Forest Army and people from the major families! It seems that we will have to fight a tough battle in three days!"

The rough-eyed young man "Wang Qiang" scanned the contents of the secret letter, but his eyes fell on the word "Ling Family" in the letter paper. Gradually, he frowned tightly, and his eyes even ignited. Raging rage.

"This Ling family... should be the Ling family who killed my uncle Wang Xiong in Pingyang City and was recruited by the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" Wang Qiang's arms trembled involuntarily because of anger, a fiery innate qi It gushed out 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 never have died! My father would not be depressed because of his brother's death, The stubborn disease relapsed! If Ling Feng comes this time, I must avenge my uncle and let Ling Feng die in Maple Leaf City!"

Thinking of his uncle who died tragically and his father who was sick in bed, Wang Qiang gritted his teeth loudly, and the veins on his arms bulged.

"Brother Wang Qiang, that Ling Feng is a genius. I heard that even the eldest prince can't do anything to 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 don't forget our purpose of occupying Maple Leaf City, and remember not to delay the big event because of personal hatred!"

Being reminded by Pan Fengyi, Wang Qiang's eyes lit up immediately, he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded decisively, and said, "Thanks to Big Brother Pan for reminding me, otherwise I almost missed a major event. You are right, we should put the overall situation first !"

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

After three days of rushing, the 8,000 troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty led by Zuo Yu had arrived in a valley less than a hundred miles away from Maple Leaf City.

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

Zuo Yu gave an order, and the 8,000 troops stopped immediately, and began to set up camp, burying pots and making food.

Ling Feng also led the members of the Ling family to set up the tent. After eating, he walked quickly to his tent, preparing to take a 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.

"Huh, who are you?" Seeing the familiar figure from behind even though he was wearing armor, Ling Feng couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked.

Hearing Ling Feng's voice, the sergeant couldn't help turning his head in joy, and took off the helmet on his head, revealing his black and beautiful hair like a waterfall.

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

"Why can't I come? Do you still want to drive me away now?" The woman smiled coquettishly, her voice was as melodious as the chirping of a lark.
