C81 (2/2)

Qu Feizhi interrupted, ”Then can you ask the imperial city for help? This was a battle of life and death, there was no need to hide anymore. Otherwise, if my Phoenix City Pass is broken, everything is gone. ”

Hearing that, Kong Sheng's face showed some hesitation, he stopped for a moment and said: I've already arranged for a fast horse, we will set out at noon.

At this moment, Chen Chu frowned, such a big military event was delayed until noon before leaving, although it did not affect him greatly, it did not seem like Kong Sheng was acting in a swift and decisive manner.

Kong Sheng continued to say, ”Everyone here is a martial artist, so I won't speak of those things. It would take at least thirty to forty days from today's announcement to the arrival of the Imperial Capital's reinforcements. Our current mission is to defend here at death's door for these forty days, and to continuously exhaust our Moqiu Army's strength. This way, when the capital's reinforcements arrive, we can send our entire army to assault them and destroy their Moqiu Army in one go. ”

When he finished, the room was still for a moment. Everyone knew that Kong Sheng's words were true. The imperial city did not have a standing army, and facing an army of a million, mobilizing an army of one hundred and twenty thousand was a joke. It would take at least five hundred thousand to see. The grain and equipment of the 500,000 soldiers were both problematic. It's not an exaggeration to say that thirty or forty days is really too long. But facing an army of a million soldiers who had guarded for forty days, who would dare to be so confident?

Seeing that no one said anything, Kong Sheng sighed and said, ”Let's leave it at that for today, everyone should go back first. We'll meet again in a few days.”

Qu Feizhi saw that another guard was rushing towards him, and said with a frown, ”Lord Kong, I'm already a consultant, do you still want to sleep on that wooden bed?”

Kong Sheng rolled his eyes, ”It's already wrong to be so picky, why do you have to be so picky?”

Qu Feizhi felt wronged and said, ”Then at least we can discuss it with the two Tiger King s, at least we can change it to Chao Yang, okay? I heard that there's going to be a celebratory feast tonight. Even if you don't want me to go, can you give me a jug of wine and two chicken legs? ”

Kong Sheng's expression suddenly became serious, he stared at Qu Feizhi for a while, and then slowly said: ”Even if you two took the initiative to leave the camp and use the heads of two Tiger King s, there is nothing else you can do.”

”Ah?” What else is there? ” Qu Feizhi looked puzzled.

Kong Sheng took a deep breath and said to Zhao Handong: ”Old Zhao, call her over.”

Zhao Handong took the orders and left the conference room. After a while, he returned, and upon his return, he found a young lady following him.

When Xiu'er, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi saw this girl, they were all stunned. She was none other than the civilian girl that they had saved back then, Xiao Qi.

”Xiao Qi? Why are you here? ” The Xiu'er cried out. At that time, when the troops were separated outside Ninth Tiger King's territory, she had personally entrusted Xiao Qi to do so.

Xiao Qi slightly lowered her head: ”I ~ ~ I was a bit scared, so I came back to chase after you guys.”

When she said this, everyone understood. It was fortunate that Xiu'er saved her. Even though she was entrusted with this task, since the first battalion was a mix of the of the rebel army and a large clan, and since there was no difference between the two, she must have been afraid of being humiliated again, hence she had personally ran over to chase after them. As for how to infiltrate Red Camp, that was simply, as long as one of the Red Camp Knight s was willing to help her, giving her some thick clothes to support her figure, and then putting on a cloak and helmet, it would just be a mess. If they painted their faces a little, or even covered them up, it would be impossible to tell who was behind the chaos.

As for being able to reach Phoenix City Pass, it was also because of this young lady's great luck. Red Camp Knight had even suffered two-thirds of the casualties, but she was actually able to survive.

However, now that Xiao Qi had appeared here, other than making people sigh about her good luck, she also had another identity, and that was the person who had personally experienced the massacre. She had truly experienced the most tragic massacre within the boundaries of Moqiu State. Although this massacre was caused by the first battalion, outsiders could not differentiate between the two. Because at that time, whether it was the first battalion, the Red Camp Knight, or the Wulian Border Army, they all had a common name: ”Fire Phoenix Chaos Army”.

Xiao Qi could follow the Apprentice Knight s of the Red Camp into the city, but they would definitely not be able to escape the one-on-one battle. She must have been caught at that time. This kind of girl did not need to be punished. As long as she was slightly scared, everything would be fine. Now that they saw Xiao Qi's ashamed expression, it was likely that Kong Sheng completely knew what they had done inside the Moqiu State. For a model soldier like him, to be able to endure such a massacre and not mention it was already a very difficult thing to do.

Seeing that the three of them did not say anything, Kong Sheng shook his hands slightly, ”Alright, I won't say anymore, it's good that everyone understands, all of you can go now.”

This time, Qu Feizhi did not utter a word, his head was lowered, and was sent out by the guards.

Returning to the courtyard Zhao Handong had arranged for his to stay, Xiu'er sat on the chair in a dejected manner. She found it extremely difficult to calm his heart, and she was a little unsure of what to do now. She found out the truth behind the conflict between Mo Qiu and the fire phoenix. She also obtained the power of the Beast God. Originally, he wanted to quietly avoid participating in the battle and just accompany Kong Sheng as he watched him from the side. However, the Moqiu State Master insisted on launching a huge attack on him, and Kong Sheng found out about the massacre that the expedition team was going to carry out in the Moqiu State. In this way, how would he see himself? What should he do now?

As she thought about it, Xiu'er's heart was filled with frustration. She subconsciously reached into her small pocket, where she hid a small pouch. The divine beast Taotieh had personally placed this embroidered bag in her hands before she left the Moqiu City, saying that she would decide based on her own heart. However, if she really met with a dilemma and had to make a choice, she might as well open this embroidered bag and take a look.

Just then, a servant girl that was arranged by Zhao Handong to take care of her walked in and said softly, ”Lady Xiu’er, Lord Kong is here. He said that he has something to discuss with you.”

Xiu'er immediately calmed her emotions and sat up straight. ”Quick, invite Lord Kong in.”

Kong Sheng slowly walked in, seeing that Xiu'er was ordering a servant girl to make tea, he gently waved his hand, ”Don't be busy. Lady Xiu’er, can you come out with me for a walk? ”
