When Feng Yi heard these words, his expression became clear, and he immediately understood Chen Baiqi's wish, which was obviously for him to introduce him.

But Bai Qi is not only a close friend of Major General Xun, but is it not better to be introduced by Major General Xun to discuss important matters with Master Cang Yue than him, a person with a low official position?

How did Feng Yi know that Chen Baiqi was actually his daughter? Although she could be a plotter, she could not be a scholar.

Of course, she wasn't counting on him, she just didn't want to make Feng Yi's disciples suspicious. If she gave him a reason to imagine freely, her rescue action would be logical.

She is not a saint, and she does not save people for any righteousness, she just does her best.

"Little brother Bai Qi, you can rest assured! Your matter is Yi's matter. Regardless of any request, Yi will do his best to help!" Feng Yi said solemnly.

Chen Baiqi immediately smiled.

Feng Yi had been watching her every expression, but for some reason, he blushed because of her sudden sweet smile. Fortunately, he was dark and did not show any trouble.

This young man from Bai Qi looks very feminine. He has a straight face and is not aware of it. But when he smiles like this, his already beautiful facial features and expressions suddenly soften, making him as lively as a beautiful lady with a beautiful smile in a famous painting. vivid.

Feng Yi glanced away in embarrassment, not daring to let younger brother Bai Qi notice such strange thoughts. At the same time, he also secretly despised himself for missing his younger brother Bai Qi, who was as fierce and brave as a man.

Thinking of Bai Qi's bravery with a mighty sword in his hand, slashing several horses under the knife and saving him, he suddenly felt that Bai Qi was as tall and brave as this mandrill, what a truly great man!

Just when Feng Yi admired Chen Baiqi, Feng Deng in his arms finally opened a pair of wrinkled eyes with difficulty. Feng Deng was over fifty years old, with a gray face and a beautiful beard. He was haggard and thin due to recent changes. Many, his pupils were confused and he stared straight up. It took him a long time to focus. When he saw Feng Yi looking at him in surprise, his eyes widened.

"Yi, Yi'er?!"

He couldn't believe it. He personally watched his Yi'er escape from the city, so why did she appear in front of him now?

Feng Deng once thought that his soul had returned to the earth. He wanted to reach out and touch Feng Yi, but his hands were tied and hung for too long, and his blood was blocked. In addition, his body was extremely weak, which made him weak and unable to move.

"Father! Father! It's Yi, it's me!" Feng Yi said loudly.

"You...you must have also been arrested...arrested..." When the hoarse and desolate voice said this, Feng Deng shed tears on his clothes and choked himself to the point of embarrassment.

He had four sons and three daughters in his life. Due to the persecution of Lord Chu Ling, three sons died and three daughters died. He tried his best to escape with only a single seedling left, but now he was still captured and failed. , this makes him feel so embarrassed!

He Feng Feng... is unworthy of the ancestors of their Feng family!

Seeing his father crying in pain, Feng Yi's eyes were sore and red. He was at a loss for a moment. He had never seen such a strong father showing such a fragile and desperate look. He was so clumsy and his mind was shattered. He didn't know how to explain and appease.

Seeing the two father and son "acting stupidly" on the side, Chen Baiqi was amused in his heart and couldn't help but take over the conversation and said: "Fengzhou Mu, you have been rescued now. The Chu Ling Lord's army in the city has been completely wiped out, so there is no danger, so Brother Yi I was not captured to meet you, but came to save you."

What Chen Baiqi spoke was the Mandarin of the Chu State. Sometimes the language in various places and counties can be fluent or not, just like dialects, while Mandarin is the same as Mandarin and is universal. Of course, Mandarin is not popular in poor, backward or uneducated places.

, and being able to speak Mandarin is equivalent to showing others one's cultural level, as one has received formal education since childhood.

Hearing this, Feng Yi nodded excitedly to show his agreement with what Chen Baiqi said.

And Feng Deng heard a soft voice next to him that soothed people's hearts like a breeze. He stayed there for a long time and even forgot to cry. It took him a long time to understand the meaning of her words, then turned around and stammered: "This

, in this city...so many armored swordsmen...were all killed?"

In the Warring States period, fighting was not as mysterious as described in later generations' novels. Generally speaking, if a battle was really fought, the basis for victory would be nothing more than the number and quality of soldiers and the military equipment.

There is a saying that goes, "In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are a joke." Although this statement is not absolute, it has a certain truth.

Feng Deng knew that Chu Lingjun had sent his "private soldiers" to attack Dianchi this time. He was really angry. He was angry at first, and Yang Cangyue united with all the old tribes to rebel. Secondly, he was angry at Dianchi's rebellion.

With the purpose of killing one to serve as a warning to others, this "private army" of cavalry and swordsmen is the best of the best, both in terms of numbers and quality of equipment, and in terms of strength, such a fine army of several thousand can defeat ten thousand ordinary soldiers.

, how could it be annihilated so easily?

This...could it be an army sent by some country?!

But this is not right. How could this small Dian Lake ask other countries to send troops for rescue? Feng Deng is not a big shot, and he has never made friends with any big shots!

But he couldn't think of any other county or state that could mobilize such a large force to come to Dianchi Lake for rescue, regardless of their own safety, in this severe environment where everyone in Chu was in danger.

"Yes."

"How is this possible?!" Feng Xiang immediately shouted doubtfully. He straightened his upper body suddenly, but because he was so excited, after shouting, he lay down on the ground and climbed into his arms, coughing hard, panting, and his face flushed.

red, but his red eyes were staring at Chen Baiqi.

"If Fengzhou Mu doesn't believe it, you can take a look for yourself."

Dengfeng immediately asked Feng Yi to help him up. He was tremblingly helped to the edge of the wall. He stood on the tower and looked down. In the dark night, the city road was unusually quiet and silent.

, the city was bright like scattered fire spots, accompanied by cries, screams and noises, people were constantly coming in and out, the air was filled with the smell of rust and gunpowder smoke, which was very pungent, and the firelight in the city shone everywhere.

corpses, and many unfamiliar armored cavalry appeared around the city gate to clean up the city after the war.

The pictures you have seen with your own eyes cannot deceive anyone. This Dianchi Lake has really been saved.

But this... this... what happened while he was unconscious? Who killed the soldiers in the city?

At this time, Feng Yi finally calmed down. He glanced at Chen Baiqi, who looked like an ordinary man in the wind, and said to Feng's father: "Father, I am Bai Qi's younger brother, and these sergeants are all under his command.

It was he who saved us."

Feng Deng's expression gradually enlarged. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Chen Baiqi with burning eyes. His cloudy eyes suddenly became clear and shocked.

After being appointed as an official for thirty years, the eyes honed by being immersed in the officialdom are extremely oppressive once they are serious, even if... he is not hostile to her.

Who is this young man...?

Chen Baiqi responded to his probing examination with a smile, and she thought to herself - this kind of intense look is not even one-tenth as powerful as that of Hou Qing, Young Master Cang Yue and others.

Feng Yi glanced at his father, then at Chen Baiqi, and added: "Father, Bai Qi's younger brother is an old friend of Major General Xun."

Feng Deng was stunned for a moment, and then the guard and suspicion in his eyes relaxed.

Xun Zhai's father, Xun Taiwei, had some friendship with Feng Deng, so naturally he knew Xun Zhai.

Chen Baiqi seemed to have an indifferent and calm attitude. She raised her head slightly, stared at the sky shrouded in gray smoke, and murmured: "It seems to be dawning soon..."

——

After Feng Deng was rescued, all the Feng clan members and wealthy businessmen of Dianchi Lake who were detained by the county magistrate were released. However, the people of Dianchi Lake had long been driven to Lincheng, and the city was now empty and in danger.

Although Chen Baiqi temporarily saved Dianchi Lake, it does not mean that the Feng clan who betrayed Lord Chu Ling can rest easy from now on. If Lord Chu Ling knows what happened in Dianchi Lake, it will only make things worse. No one dares to underestimate the power of a country.

The wrath of the princes, of course... does not need to be taken too seriously.

Why do you say this? This is of course related to the national conditions of the Chu State or the entire Warring States Period. In this era, the monarch did not gather power and centralize the power supreme. In this era, the king had troops, the princes had troops, various places had troops, and each county had troops.

In an era when there were soldiers in the jurisdiction, and even private individuals could hoard troops (soldiers), it all depended on who had a high enough force value.

Relatively speaking, power does not represent everything.

If you are strong enough, even the princes will be courteous to you.

Feng Deng was seriously injured. After Feng Yi took him back to his home for treatment, he sadly went to collect the bodies of his family and clan members and simply took care of the funeral arrangements. Chen Baiqi understood his pain of losing his family and took the initiative to handle other chores for him.

How to dispose of the corpses of soldiers in the city if we arrange to seal the clan members...

The Dianchi Yacheng was a member of Chu Lingjun. Chen Baiqi sealed off the county government. The urgent document about Dianchi Lake in Danyang had been intercepted by Chen Baiqi. She read the content and chuckled.

In the letter, the "rebellious traitor" in "the rebellious ministers and traitors colluded with the rebel traitors" refers to her?

After she shattered the cloth in her palm, she drew up a new "calligraphy treasure".

——The Feng clan in Dianchi Lake were all slaughtered, and today is the day to return.

Chen Baiqi casually glanced at the corpses of the soldiers who had been eliminated by the "Chen Family Army" in the city. His apricot eyes were as calm as ever, and he sent the letter to Danyang in the exact same way.

Even if such a small move is made, the matter may not be hidden for long, but at least it can buy them some precious time.

After settling the matter in Dianchi Lake, Chen Baiqi remembered something and told Feng Yi to explain it, so he took Si Jiang and Ju to go to commemorate Su.

Minsu is only ten miles away from Dianchi Lake, and is a small town nearby. This town is not big and prosperous. There is a hilltop not far from Minsu Town. There is a plum forest in the mountain col. The plum trees here are full of shade, and the scenery is beautiful.

It is beautiful, but once you enter the forest, it feels like you have fallen into a vast sea. The edges are out of reach. It is often easy to get dizzy and get lost. After many surrounding villagers disappeared inexplicably and searched to no avail, this plum forest was rumored by Zhou Wenren to have a spirit inside that would suck people.

Human souls are fragile, so few people dare to set foot on this dangerous land.

But Chen Baiqi went to show mercy to Su because he was looking for someone.

A simply decorated bullock cart stopped outside the plum forest. A young man in green robe jumped out of the cart, followed by a tower-like man and a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.

These three people were Chen Baiqi and her two followers - the disguised Si Jiang and Ju.
