”What?” Bai Zheng didn't even have time to react.

Feng Linyuan repeated: ”Regarding the purple capsule, the person behind is Feng Linche.”

Bai Zheng's face changed, it was unknown if it was because of Feng Linyuan's sudden change in attitude, or because the person who said it was too surprising to her.

”Master Hou's meaning is, the person who harmed you is His Majesty?” Bai Zheng said in disbelief.

Feng Linyuan nodded.

Bai Zheng felt like she was stuttering: ”Isn't he, isn't it about Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis, is he taking good care of us?”

A hint of coldness flashed across Feng Linyuan's face.

Bai Zheng immediately thought of a possibility, covered her mouth and said softly: ”Could it be that the reason the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis has turned into its current state is all because of Feng Linche?”

”Miss Bai is wise.”

Previously, Bai Zheng had only dealt with a few people who wouldn't talk to her about Feng Linyuan for no reason. As a result, she had no understanding about the battle of Yancheng at all.

And the only news that she had obtained from Feng Jingyi was that he had lost because he was jealous of her. Although she did not believe this, no matter what, she would not think of this towards Feng Linche.

After all, Yancheng was the territory of the Great Zhou, and what was sacrificed was a hundred thousand officers!

What exactly was the reason that Feng Linche had so much hatred towards the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis? He was willing to take the risk of losing his homeland and damaging his soldiers, and yet he still chose to cooperate with the Xiliang?

Wasn't this asking for a beating?

Thinking about that, Bai Zheng muttered: ”How can that be? What exactly is the reason behind the failure of the Yancheng battle? ”

Feng Linyuan looked in front of him with a cold expression.

”At that time, Xuanning King personally led four hundred thousand soldiers and laid down their Yancheng. I accompanied Father and brought a hundred and fifty thousand Changping Army for the battle, and although the strength of our forces were greatly different, since Changping Army is an army that was established since our Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis was established, our training was always strict and there were always the words' Great Zhou barrier '. Although it was not one against a hundred, fighting against ten alone was not a problem.”

I originally did not place this battle in my eyes. However, for some reason, my father was repeatedly defeated. Feng Linche ordered for the Gaochang Marquis to lead 300,000 troops to the Yancheng to support the battle.

That day, father said that he had made a plan with me, he led 3000 elite soldiers to attack Zhuo Yi's main camp at night, feigning that he was no match for the enemy and escaped. Let me lead five thousand elite soldiers to steal the grain at this time.

This was a foolproof plan to begin with, even if I don't successfully ambush Zhuo Yi, once I steal the rations, Xiliang will naturally lose without a fight. ”But the result...”

Bai Zheng remained silent, but in the end, the hundred thousand soldiers and horses that were preparing for an ambush had all died at the Qing He Ridge.

”After father died in battle, I was also heavily injured. Although I had the intention to investigate the battle at the river ridge, because the Xiliang was fierce and the Gaochang Marquis had not arrived yet, I could only focus on defending against the enemy. When the Yancheng defeated me, I fell into a coma and only woke up a month later.

Feng Linyuan explained in a casual tone, but Bai Zheng was startled by what she heard.

His father, who loved him dearly, suddenly died on the battlefield, and even though he was severely injured in the battle, he still had to force himself to use a mere fifty thousand soldiers and horses to repel the four hundred thousand soldiers of Xiliang.

On one hand, he was seriously injured. On the other hand, he himself had already lost the will to live.

Bai Zheng didn't know what to say, and only felt that her chest was heavily blocked.

Feng Linyuan's line of sight pierced through the carriage and went far ahead. His expression was flat, revealing an indescribable desolation.

”After I woke up, I carefully thought about it. The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became. This battle was jointly set up by me and my father. Even if the enemy spies knew that there was an ambush, and all four hundred thousand soldiers and horses with Xiliang have come out to face it, I, hundred thousand Changping Army would not be so weak. ”
