General

"Missing?!" Lan Jing's blood-red eyes pulled Ning Yu's arm almost crazily, and roared, "What do you mean missing?! Where is the leader of the Blood Pavilion!"

At this moment, the emotions suppressed in his heart because of fear and worry broke out almost at the same time. Lan Jing's fingers trembled violently, and tears finally ran down the side of his face uncontrollably. The leader of the blood pavilion who is famous for his numbness should have known it when he left...

"There is no trace." Ning Yu lowered her head even more, desperately holding back her fists, and continued to grit her teeth to report, "The Xuanming people were defeated and retreated, Tuoba Han and others took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the subordinates dare not delay , so they directly withdrew their troops and returned to the city to support them, but after returning, the fighting had stopped. We dug the entire Yuling Pass three feet into the ground, but there was no sign of General Li. The subordinates guessed... It should be the master of the Feiyan Pavilion in the Blood Pavilion. hijacked..."

Hearing this, Lan Jing's fingers slowly slipped from Ning Yu's shoulders, her eyes glazed over at the cautious man in front of her, and she fell into a moment of silence.

Now, he doesn't know whether the result is joy or sorrow. Fei Yan took Li Xuan away, at least it shows that he is still alive, and as long as he is still useful, his life will not be in danger.However, Li Xuan has guarded the northwest for so many years, and the people of Xuanming have long hated him to the bone. Now, in order to protect himself, he is imprisoned. Even if he does not die, he will definitely be severely punished and suffer...

Those barbarians are fierce and cruel, and they are even more insane when using punishment. Li Xuan, he...

Lan Jing was stunned, and tears began to slip down unconsciously, without a sound, but wet a large area of ​​her clothes like a bank bursting.

"My lord..."

For so many years, Ling Feng has never seen Lan Jing like this. Pain and regret are entangled in his once clear and lively eyes, like a deep pool that has been stirred up by mud and sand, and even his eyes have become cloudy.At this moment, he couldn't care less about avoiding the punishment, he quickly moved to his side on knees, and whispered anxiously.

"Ling Feng..."

Lan Jing regained her senses slightly, turned her head to Ling Feng little by little, stared into his eyes and said in a low voice, "We have to save him..."

"Yes, my lord, don't worry..." Ling Feng bit his lower lip, and held the back of his hand in a comforting manner. The cold fingertips were held in his warm palm, but they were still trembling uncontrollably, " This subordinate... this subordinate will go tonight..."

"No!" Ning Yu shook her head with a serious face, "Xuanming people are at a disadvantage now, the general is the most important bargaining chip in their hands at this moment, and they must do their best to defend every step of the way and monitor our every move .If we rashly attack the enemy camp, I believe they would rather kill General Li than let us succeed."

"Then what do you say!" Lan Jing looked at Ning Yu angrily, "I can't just watch Li Xuan suffer and do nothing!"

"My lord, calm down..." Ning Yu lowered her head respectfully again, and tentatively explained, "Your lord, think about it, why do they want General Li?"

"..." Lan Jing's lips trembled slightly, but she felt that her head was in chaos at the moment, and she really couldn't think about any problems.

"First, kill General Li to avoid future troubles. General Li has guarded the northwest for many years, and it has long been a knife in the hearts of Xuanming people. If they want to annex Long Xiao, this knife must be removed." Ning Yu After a short pause, he continued, "Second, use General Li as a threat to ask for money and food..."

"Indeed, judging from the current situation, this is their most likely choice." Ling Feng also nodded, and immediately agreed, "Most of the mysterious and bitter cold places have insufficient food production. There will be a famine every year, and countless people will starve to death. In the middle of this year, I heard that there was a plague of locusts in the territory of Xuanming. The food was in short supply. Now they have raised their troops and requisitioned more than half of them. They thought they could destroy our Longxiao Kingdom. He seized money, food and grass for the winter, but unexpectedly, he was beaten to the point of desperation by the general, and he may not be able to fight again within ten years."

"So..." Lan Jing frowned and thought for a moment, "Instead of killing Li Xuan, why don't they exchange money and food compensation with us to stabilize the people's hearts and go back to deal with Emperor Xuan?"

"Exactly." Seeing that Lan Jing's mood had improved, Ning Yu raised her head to look at him again, and said solemnly, "Feng Yu's country is in turmoil now, and he can't take care of himself. Both Xuan Ming and Long Xiao are injured, and they are unable to fight again. Rest and recover National strength is the most urgent task, and I believe Tuoba Han will not understand this truth. As for that Prince Nanli, as long as he can give him an excuse to redeem his crimes in front of Xuanhuang, I believe he will not have any objections..."

"So... what should we do now..." Lan Jing sighed softly, "Just wait like this?"

"Raise money, raise food, and wait for Xuanming to send someone to negotiate terms." Ning Yu turned her head to look at Ling Feng worriedly, as if she was specifically telling him, "There are a lot of Xuanming spies along the way outside the city. There are also many secret sentries ambushed nearby, don't act rashly, otherwise you will be forced to jump over the wall, and the general's life will be in danger."
