Hundreds of riders gradually approached, their speed gradually slowed down, and they stopped dozens of feet away from the city wall. Elite disciples from the three sects finally arrived.
The closed city gate, the large number of crossbowmen on the city head, the groups of Tianyu Sect monks, and the disciples of the three sects outside the city all saw it.
Fei Changliu, Xia Hua and Zheng Jiuxiao, who were lined up in front, looked at each other and showed no intention of entering the city in a hurry.
It is impossible for them to start a war with Tianyumen just to see Shang Chaozong. If they win, it is still possible. The key is that the three families joining forces are no match for Tianyumen.
The three sects came here purely to deal with Niu Youdao's side. They came according to Niu Youdao's words. Tianyumen allowed them to meet with Shang Chaozong. If they were not allowed to meet, they would not meet without force.
When Niu Youdao asked about it, he said that Tianyumen was blocking them. Their strength was limited and they couldn't see them even if they wanted to. It's not that we don't listen to you.
Niu Youdao asked us to come, and we came obediently. Tianyumen didn't let us see him, and we also didn't see him.
To put it bluntly, neither side should be offended.
This is the countermeasure that Fei, Xia, and Zheng came up with.
From the moment Niu Youdao suddenly sent a message to force them to come over, they realized that Niu Youdao was going to take action and have a fight with Tianyumen. They would not easily fall to one side before seeing the tendency of victory or defeat.
It’s not that they like to be just a wallflower, but they don’t want to offend easily, either Tianyu Sect or Niu Youdao. They are afraid of the former’s strength and intimidated by the latter’s ability. It is true that they are caught between the two. Difficult.
This is also the tragedy of a small sect like them that relies on others. If they want to survive, sometimes they have no dignity...
Shounian went into the room and made an announcement before coming out. He said to Feng Ruonan who was waiting at the door: "Miss, Madam is waiting for you inside." He stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation and left first.
Feng Ruonan stepped across the threshold and walked into the house. In the inner room behind the bead curtain swinging on one side, he saw his mother standing and waiting.
"Ruonan, come in." Peng Yulan's voice was gentle and dear.
Feng Ruonan walked to the bead curtain, opened the bead curtain with both hands and entered, his eyes meeting his mother's.
Feng Ruonan's face looked obviously haggard, and Peng Yulan felt deeply in her heart. Is this still her heroic daughter? How could he be so lonely, so sad, so haggard
She blamed herself for a moment, but soon put the responsibility on Shang Chaozong.
We have left Changping City. We are doing our best to protect you and your wife. From now on, you can live a stable life away from the fight. Isn't it nice to have food and clothing without worries? Why are you not willing to give in? Why do you want to come back to fight for it? Not only did you miss your own life, but you also missed the life of my daughter!
Feng Ruonan looked at her mother quietly, silently.
"You look bad and haven't had any rest, okay?" Peng Yulan stepped forward, held her daughter's face in her hands, and asked lovingly.
Feng Ruonan raised his hand and pushed away his mother's caring hands, "My parents treated me like this, and my husband resented me for it. Can I rest? Mom, do you know what it feels like to live like a year?"
Peng Yulan smiled forcefully: "Ruonan, are you overthinking it?"
Feng Ruonan: "I am not a lady who grew up in a house, so I know nothing about things outside. I know everything, and you know very well what you are doing. What my parents and my husband are fighting for, I I understand, I can understand the troubled times, but I don’t understand, you are my parents, why do you do this to me?”
Peng Yulan: "Since you understand, I won't explain it. Your husband used our Feng family to gain a foothold, and in turn took away the power of the Feng family in Guangxi County. If he can be in the first grade of junior high school, we can be in the fifteenth grade. No one can blame anyone.”
Feng Ruonan shook his head sadly and said: "He took the power of Guangyi County, but did he harm anyone in the Feng family? Whether it was for the sake of the in-laws' affection or the face of Tianyumen, he did not touch anyone in the Feng family. No one else. I thought that even if you win, you will treat him the same way he treated the Feng family. He has wronged the Feng family once, and the Feng family has wronged him once. The worst is that we will be even, so I won't say anything, I admit it. . But why do you want to kill Meng Shanming? Don’t say that you don’t know the relationship and feelings between Meng Shanming and their brothers and sisters. Don’t say that you didn’t keep Meng Shanming because you didn’t want to kill him. If you kill Meng Shanming Shan Ming, to the brothers and sisters, is nothing more than the murder of their father, have you ever thought about what you want me to do?"
At this point, tears fell down like broken beads.
"Don't cry, mother knows it's hard for you." Peng Yulan's eyes were also red, she took a handkerchief to wipe away her daughter's tears, and comforted: "You misunderstood, it was not our intention to kill Meng Shanming, it was Tianyu My parents can’t do anything about the door, you should understand.”
Feng Ruonan: "Then what's going on now? What's going on with bringing us back under house arrest? Has the Tianyu Sect changed its mind and even refused to let the Shang Chaozong go?"
She was not aware of the current changes in the situation outside, and she was also blocked from information.
At this moment, a report came from outside, "Madam, I'm here to invite you!"
Peng Yulan, who was listening attentively, flashed her eyes, opened her arms and hugged the crying Feng Ruonan, and comforted: "It's not what you think, it will be over soon, and I will never embarrass you again. Very soon." It’ll be over soon.”
The hand caressing Feng Ruonan's back moved to the back of Feng Ruonan's neck, and suddenly cast a spell and pinched the back of Feng Ruonan's neck.
Feng Ruonan, who was crying so hard, rolled his eyes and fainted in his mother's arms.
Peng Yulan moved it to the couch and laid it horizontally, arranged his body neatly, and wiped away the remaining tears on his face, "Ruonan, this time the Feng family is sorry for you. Don't worry after this time, mother will not If you suffer any grievance again, I promise you, it will all be over!"
When she parted the beaded curtain and left, she looked back at Feng Ruonan who was lying peacefully on the couch. She put down the beaded curtain and raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears that overflowed from her eyes. She straightened her clothes, straightened her demeanor, and walked quickly. Leave.
When they arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, Feng Lingbo came quickly and asked in a low voice: "Where's Ruonan?"
Peng Yulan nodded: "The arrangements have been made and she will not be involved in the danger over there."
"That's good." Feng Lingbo felt relieved and kept talking, "The men of the three factions have arrived and are in a stalemate outside the city. Take action immediately. There is not much time. You must be quick!"
"Okay! As soon as my news arrives, you must act quickly."
"Don't worry, I've made all the preparations here. I'm just waiting for your news to come back and we'll be able to do it in one go!"
The couple met for a while and then parted immediately. Feng Lingbo then summoned Feng Ruoyi, Feng Ruojie, Tao Yan and Nong Changguang again to make final plans.
After leaving the political hall, Peng Yulan went straight to the neighbor's house and found Feng Entai directly.
Seeing Peng Yulan coming in a hurry, Feng Entai, who was standing in the pavilion, asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Peng Yulan: "Lingbo has just received an emergency report from below. Someone from the three sects has sneaked in secretly. The South Gate area may just be to attract the attention of our Tianyu Sect. The intentions of the three sects are unknown..."
After a while, Feng Entai left urgently with a large number of monks and rushed to defend the North City Gate and East City Gate.
On the pretext of protecting Feng Lingbo's safety, Peng Yulan obtained Feng Entai's elder token, allowing her to uniformly dispatch and command the left-behind disciples of Tianyu Sect. Feng Entai also believed that she would protect Feng Lingbo with all her heart, so she gave the token without any doubts...
In the nearby house, Bai Yao flew to the roof, and was also alerted by Feng Entai's movement.
After receiving the notification from the disciples in the sect, Bai Yao ran to the roof and watched Feng Entai and others leave with a confused look on his face.
Soon, Peng Yulan rushed here and used the same reason to deceive Bai Yao. Not saying that the situation was urgent, she even took out Feng Entai's token and issued an order, saying that it was Feng Entai's decree, which made Bai Yao disappear. Having to make a choice, he quickly gathered people to defend the area around the West City Gate.
After that, Peng Yulan used Feng Entai's order to gather the remaining monks on both sides and take them away in the name of inspection. Including the steward's longevity, Peng Yulan knew that this steward was actually her father's confidant.
Along the way, some people had questions: If we leave like this, will Feng Lingbo's safety be a problem
Peng Yulan took out his token and suppressed it, telling him not to ask any more questions. He stared at the disciples of Tianyu Sect in person, not letting anyone go to ask for instructions.
At this point, all the disciples of Tianyu Sect in the core guarding area of Changping City have been evacuated by Peng Yulan...
"Do it!"
Following an order from Feng Lingbo, who was at the center, some of the garrison troops in the city immediately moved. Four groups of troops quickly approached the house where Shang Chaozong was under house arrest from four directions.
"Step aside!"
Feng Ruoyi, who came with a group of people, stood at a street blocked by horses and directly gave the garrison general a deep order.
The general was stunned: "General, the governor has an order. No one is allowed to trespass on this road without permission, so as not to disturb the peace of the mages." He also subconsciously took a second look at the men and horses behind Feng Ruoyi, and found that they were well-equipped and well-equipped. People are equipped with crossbows.
Feng Ruoyi directly showed Feng Lingbo's command arrow and said sternly: "Do you want to disobey me?"
The general immediately put his hands in shame and said, "Yes!" He turned around and waved his hand, and immediately asked people to move away and let the horse go.
…
Yuan Gang climbed up the wall again and witnessed two groups of monks leaving the target location one after another. He found that they were going in different directions, and he was a little confused about what happened.
The courtyard door opened, and Yuan Feng, who was carrying a burden, ran in again, "Boss, there is something strange in Feng Lingbo's garrison."
Just as Yuan Gang jumped off the wall, the courtyard door opened again, and Niu Lin, carrying a pole, ran in and reported urgently: "There is something abnormal in the garrison!"
After a while, Yuan Huo and Niushan also came to report the same situation.
Yuan Gang quickly ran into the house and quickly spread out the map and asked the four people about the whereabouts of the garrison.
After drawing a route for a while, Yuan Gang finally used charcoal to draw a circle around the place where Shang Chaozong was placed under house arrest. He said with an unusually solemn expression: "Master Dao's worries are correct. Feng Lingbo is going to attack the prince. Sure enough, he is so anxious that he will jump over the wall!"
