Although Murong Shuang was usually a bit cold, when facing Qi Feihong, he seemed to be different from when he faced others. There was a hint of respect in the gloom, and he didn't know why he was like this.
Ordinarily, Murong Shuang is the senior, Qi Feihong is just a junior, that shouldn't be the case. No one knows the reason, and no one will ask Murong Shuang. It remains a mystery to this day.
Murong Shuang went to Pingyi City to save people, while Qi Feihong and Shen Yue prepared to leave the National Court. At this time, Qi Feihong was uneasy and very anxious. He wished he could go to Pingyi City to save people in person, but he couldn't show it because of his identity as the country's leader.
However, because it was rare to see the king in person, all the professors from the National Academy of Sciences wanted to talk to Qi Feihong and surrounded Qi Feihong to prevent him from leaving. Qi Feihong had great hopes for the National Academy of Sciences, and couldn't bear to hurt the professors' hearts, so he said a few words to them. It's just that he was more worried about Li Zheng's safety. After saying a few words, he hurried back to the Lord's Mansion to get the news about Li Zheng as soon as possible.
At this time, Jiang Jun had already brought his manpower to clean up the destroyed Qilin Palace, preparing to rebuild a hall in the shortest time so that Qi Feihong could handle various matters in the Qilin Kingdom. This time Jiang Jun planned to build a stronger hall to prevent such incidents from happening again, so he brought the strongest manpower and prepared the best materials.
Qi Feihong had no intention of paying attention to these, and was dealing with military and state affairs in his palace behind the palace. In extraordinary times, everything should be kept simple. Qi Feihong would not deliberately ask for luxury, and the ministers would not think there was anything wrong with handling military and state affairs in Qi Feihong's palace.
Qi Feihong ordered his people to pay close attention to the news about General Li Zheng. Not long after, he received a piece of news that was unclear whether it was good or bad: General Li Zheng was still alive, but he was in an extremely dangerous situation and could be killed by the enemy at any time.
The mysterious formation was very dangerous. Li Zheng and others tried their best to break through the formation and lost countless soldiers, but their efforts were still in vain.
Qi Feihong was anxious and wanted to rush to Pingyi City to rescue Li Zheng in person, but he was stopped by the ministers. After all, he is the leader of a country, and he must not leave the capital Qilin City easily and endanger himself. Qi Feihong knew what the ministers wanted, and although he was very anxious, he could not go against everyone's wishes.
Tian Xizi accompanied Qi Feihong and advised Qi Feihong to stay calm and not to show impatience or restlessness, so as not to cause the people below to speculate and cause confusion.
Qi Feihong gradually stabilized, and while he ordered people to continue to pay attention to the news about Li Zheng, he also ordered Jiang Jun to start work as soon as possible to rebuild the Qilin Hall. The Qilin Palace is the symbol of the Qilin Kingdom. If it is destroyed and cannot be rebuilt in time, it will damage the national prestige of the Qilin Kingdom.
Li Zheng was trapped in Pingyi City, and Qi Feihong sent men to rescue him. Xuannv Yuqing and others arrived at the military camp, immediately took over the army, and led the army to storm the Pingyi City defenders to relieve the pressure on Li Zheng and others.
Li Zheng's soldiers were all scrambling to rescue their general. Not only did their morale not fall, but it was at an all-time high. This was beyond the expectations of Xuannv Yuqing and others. Although they were worried, they also tried their best to lead the army to attack the city and save people.
Xuannv Yuqing and others led the army to attack five times in succession in less than an hour, and each time they broke into Pingyi City. However, each time they were strongly counterattacked by the enemy forces in Pingyi City. As a last resort, You can only exit Pingyi City. The defenders of the Immortal Golden Immortal are very tenacious. They are unwilling to take a step back no matter what, and are determined to fight to the death against the Qilin Kingdom army.
After attacking the city for a long time, Xuannv Yuqing and others knew that Li Zheng was still alive, but they failed to rescue Li Zheng, and the attack was fruitless.
At this time, someone in the water gate sent a message that the Immortal Golden Immortal had mobilized an army to garrison Pingyi City and was going to fight to the death with the Qilin Kingdom army in Pingyi City. It's no wonder that Pingyi City is so difficult to capture, and it's no wonder why there are experts sitting in Pingyi City and setting up a large formation, trapping Li Zheng in it and unable to escape.
The Immortal Golden Immortal is not a good person, let alone someone like Lu Hao. This plan is very powerful. Regardless of the possessions and plans of the Qilin State, he must concentrate his superior forces to fight to the death with the Qilin State in Pingyi City. The Immortal Golden Immortal was very conceited and felt that his soldiers had the strength to kill all the Qilin Kingdom soldiers brought by Li Zheng.
In this way, the Qilin Kingdom was caught off guard. After all, the Qilin Kingdom did not expect that the Immortal Golden Immortal would deploy like this, and was still preparing for a long-term battle. The number of people it sent would be insufficient and the preparations were not sufficient.
If the Qilin Kingdom had known that the Immortal Golden Immortal was deploying its troops like this, it would probably have sent out all the soldiers in the country. At the same time, it would also have invited the Feixian Kingdom and the Red Dragon Kingdom to dispatch all their troops to fight to the death with the Immortal Golden Immortal.
Xuannv Yuqing and others were very anxious after hearing the news. While continuing to command the army to continue the attack, they also hurriedly discussed countermeasures. No one expected that Pingyi City would be so difficult to attack, nor did they expect that the Immortal Golden Immortal would want to directly fight to the death with the Qilin Kingdom army in Pingyi City. For a moment, they felt at a loss.
As a last resort, Xuannv Yuqing personally asked Qi Feihong for help, hoping that Qi Feihong could send the national advisor Zhao Hai to the army to make suggestions. Only then did Qi Feihong know why the defenders of Pingyi City were so strong. While he was surprised, he suddenly came up with the idea of annihilating the Immortal Golden Immortal and summoned all the ministers to discuss countermeasures.
When Zhao Hai, the national counselor, heard that Xuannv Yuqing asked him to go to the outskirts of Pingyi City to advise the army, he stood up without hesitation and wanted to go to Pingyi City immediately. However, Qi Feihong left him behind and said with a trace of doubt: "The Immortal Golden Immortal should not be a person who is eager for quick success. Why is he so anxious to fight us to the death this time? I'm afraid there is some deceit in this. The Imperial Master will move slowly, please. I’ll think about it again.”
Zhao Hai said: "But General Li Zheng is trapped in Pingyi City, and his life or death is uncertain. I should go to Pingyi City to help the army and rescue General Li Zheng."
Qi Feihong said: "General Li Zheng must be rescued, but there are already many people fighting hard for this, including the national adviser. And such a direct rescue is obviously not effective. The enemy is determined to use General Li Zheng as bait." , to induce us to fight them in Pingyi City to the end, and will never allow us to rescue General Li Zheng easily... I suddenly have an idea, and I would like to ask all the ministers to listen to it first and see if it is feasible."
All the ministers said together: "Please tell me, Lord."
Qi Feihong said: "If the Immortal Golden Immortal wants to fight us to the death in Pingyi City, he must have set up numerous traps and deployed a large number of elite soldiers in Pingyi City, waiting for us to go and die. He is sure to take it. In order to rescue General Li Zheng, we will not back down even if we know there is a trap. We want to let ourselves jump into the pit of fire... How can we obediently go to die as he wishes? But General Li Zheng must rescue, this This is also the reality before us. In the dilemma between these two parties, I remembered some past events and also thought of a countermeasure."
When Qi Feihong said this, he glanced at the doubtful expressions on the faces of the ministers, and suddenly said seriously: "Is there any of you who is willing to lead troops to go out and capture Yinlingzi City for me?"
All the ministers showed puzzled looks. Only Huangfu Cheng stepped forward without hesitation and said: "I am willing to send troops to Yin Lingzi City."
Qi Feihong looked at Huangfu City and said slowly: "The Second Army shoulders the important task of guarding Qilin City. You are the commander-in-chief of the Second Army and you must not lead troops on an expedition. The Immortal Golden Immortal is cunning. Once he sends troops to sneak attack on our Qilin City, he will still It’s up to you to resist.”
Huangfu Cheng said: "The king has given me one hundred thousand troops, and I will capture Yinlingzi City within today. As for the defense of Qilin City, I will return immediately after taking Yinlingzi City, and there will be nothing wrong. If I do, I will If we are unable to capture Yinlingzi City today, I will immediately resign as commander of the Second Army and wait for the king's decision."
Qi Feihong saw what Huangfu City said and knew that Huangfu City was confident of victory. He moved in his heart and nodded and said: "In that case, I ask you to take 100,000 troops to Yinlingzi City and make sure to capture this city within one day." .After taking Yinlingzi City, you do not need to return to Qilin City immediately, but you must immediately approach the west gate of Pingyi City. If the enemies of Pingyi City attack, immediately retreat and head west all the way to Shentu City. Note Stay safe and never engage in a head-on battle with the enemy forces in Pingyi City."
Huangfu Cheng said: "I obey the order." He turned and left in a hurry, as if he wanted to fight the enemy head-on.
