Helianzhi entrusted the country to Shan Xiong, the old prime minister, and rushed towards Hongshan City with Qinglong, Xuanwu and ten secret guards.
At this time, Helianjue had already traveled more than half of the way. In three days, the army would be able to reach Hongshan City.
Since the last time Xing Aotian's army failed to attack Hongshan City, he had been holding his troops stationary, waiting for Dong Ou's army to come and join him.
Nangong Lie was the general, and Nangong Jin was the deputy general. Both father and son went into battle together. However, Nangong and his son did not let the army rush all night to meet up. Instead, they rushed to Hongshan City in an orderly manner. It took longer than expected.
We arrived at Hongshan City three days late.
"General Nangong, your pace seems a little slow, right?" Xing Aotian looked at the father and son angrily. If they could have arrived three days ago, they would not have suffered heavy casualties.
"Your Majesty, you don't understand that the mountain road from Dongou to Loulan is rugged and steep, so we were delayed for a few days by marching." Nangong Lie led his son into his tent and said politely.
Long before the Dongou army set off, Nangong Jin had already sent people to Hongshan City to inquire about the news, so we were in control of Xing Aotian's every move.
The purpose of deliberately delaying the process was to allow Xing Aotian to take the lead in launching an attack and to explore the reality of the Loulan Kingdom.
From this conclusion, it can be seen that although there are only 20,000 troops stationed in Hongshan City, the city has sufficient troops, horses, food, equipment, and gunpowder. It seems that it is not that simple to capture Hongshan City in one go.
Hongshan City is equivalent to the gate of Loulan Kingdom. It is not easy to break through this gate. Otherwise, how can Loulan Kingdom sit back and relax.
"Hmph——" Xing Aotian snorted coldly. It seemed that he did not agree with Nangong Lie and his son's statement at all.
The mountain road is rugged, what a big joke, what is the relationship between Dongou Kingdom and Loulan? Is he, Xing Aotian, blind?
"Without further ado, we should discuss how to attack the city. Now that Loulan's reinforcements have not yet arrived, we should seize this opportunity." Xing Aotian looked at the cunning father and son. In fact, he meant a lot.
Simple, let Dongou send troops to attack the city.
How could Nangong Lie not know what he meant, but since he wanted to attack the city, both sides had to send troops together. How could he let Dongou Kingdom send troops this time?
"This is indeed a good opportunity. What do you have in mind, Your Majesty?" Nangong Lie asked deliberately.
Xing Aotian picked up a pot of wine and ordered everyone else in the tent to leave, leaving only Nangong and his son to talk in secret.
The three of them are cunning and cunning, and I don't know what conspiracy they will come up with to deal with Loulan Kingdom.
Wuji Mountain
The night wind blew gently into the room. Ever since Helianqi brought Phoenix back from the blood pool yesterday, she had been unconscious. Even when Gui Guzi was invited, nothing could be found wrong. This made Mu Yue anxious.
broken.
"Phoenix, when will you wake up?" Mu Yue sat by the bed and looked at her worriedly.
She has been in a coma for so long, why hasn't she woke up yet? This makes her heart agitated. If Phoenix doesn't wake up for a day, her hanging heart will not settle down for a day.
Alas... Sighing silently, Mu Yue could only stay by her side all the time.
"Zhi...Zhi, where are you, where is the child? Where is the child..." Mu Yue leaned on the bed weakly. Just as she was about to close her eyes and take a rest, she heard what Phoenix seemed to be shouting?
Looking at Fenghuang who was still lying on the bed, her eyes were closed tightly, but she seemed to be muttering something?
"Phoenix, Phoenix, wake up quickly, I am Elder Muyue!" Muyue shook her body and shouted her name in her ears.
"Elder Muyue..." Fenghuang, who was in a coma, seemed to have heard Elder Muyue's shout and was murmuring her name.
"Phoenix...Phoenix..." Mu Yue didn't stop and continued calling her.
Suddenly, Fenghuang opened his eyes fiercely. He looked at Elder Muyue sitting by the bed and immediately sat up. His eyes were full of surprise and excitement. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. After a long time, Fenghuang spoke.
Speak: "Elder Muyue, I am not Phoenix, I am Cen Xue."
Muyue looked at the face she was most familiar with, but her eyes told her clearly that although the person in front of her had the same appearance as Phoenix, she was definitely not the Phoenix she had grown up watching.
"Really, are you really Cen Xue girl?" Muyue asked again in disbelief.
"Well, I'm Cen Xue, do you still remember that dream? In fact, it was Renshu who was helping me, helping me bring what I want to tell you into your dreams." At this time, there are two human souls in Phoenix's body.
However, Phoenix's soul was temporarily sealed by Ren Shu's magic power. When Cen Xue's soul leaves, the seal will naturally be lifted.
Mu Yue understood that Cen Xue was a woman born in Shilingshi, a descendant of Nuwa, and her body contained Nuwa's essence and blood. If her body was placed in a forbidden area, the people at the bottom of the blood pool would definitely be able to sense it.
The essence and blood of Nuwa in her body, although Cen Xue's physical body is dead, the essence and blood of Nuwa are endless, so Cen Xue has a chance to be reborn!
"There is one more thing I don't understand. Why do you let your body soak in the blood pool for seven or forty-nine days?" This blood pool is not an ordinary pool of water. It contains every drop of the heart of the successive leaders of the Holy Moon Sect.
If the spiritual energy condensed from blood accidentally falls into the pool, it will be swallowed up by the spiritual energy in the blood pool and disappear completely from this world.
Cen Xue lowered her head and looked at herself at this time. Although she was a little uncomfortable, she still had a physical body.
"Actually, I'm not particularly clear on this question, but I feel a force controlling my thinking, allowing me to clearly know what to do. And in my ears, there seems to be another person talking,
Tell me the doubts in my heart, but I don’t understand this aspect very well. Just a simple explanation
To put it bluntly, maybe it's because my physical body has died. It's definitely not easy to come back to life. It requires enough spiritual energy to restore me, and there is a lot of spiritual energy in the blood pool to allow me to repair myself and become stronger.
Get up!" Cen Xue herself didn't explain it very clearly, but the truth should be like that.
After listening to her explanation, Mu Yue roughly understood what was going on. The physical body was dead and spiritual energy was needed to replenish the true essence. The blood pool was filled with the spiritual energy of the past leaders of the Holy Moon Sect. In this way, Cen Xue's body was soaked in the
After spending seventy-nine and seventy-nine days in the blood pool of spiritual energy, and receiving the power of rebirth from Renshu, Cen Xue can truly be resurrected!
"I understand all this. It is indeed an ancient divine lesson. The power is indeed infinite!" Mu Yue held her hand, and when the forty-ninth day came, she really came back to life.
Thinking of this, Mu Yue couldn't help but think of the king. If the king learned about this, the most excited and happy person would be the king, right?
"This matter is too unbelievable, so Cen Xue would like to ask you not to tell others about it for the time being, especially the King." Cen Xue wanted to give him a surprise, and at the same time she wanted to use Phoenix's identity to test him.
"This... okay!" Mu Yue didn't understand why she didn't want to tell the king about this. If the king knew about this, he would be very happy.
But looking at the emotion shown in her eyes, Mu Yue probably guessed her intention of doing this.
The next day, when Cen Xue appeared in front of Helianqi as a phoenix, he couldn't believe it was true. There were really such incredible things in the world.
"It is truly my blessing, Loulan, that the queen can be brought back to life!" He Lianqi stared at Cen Xue's cheek with a pair of red phoenix eyes.
This body was that of a phoenix, and naturally his face was also that of a phoenix. No matter how he looked at it, there was still no suspicion at all. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes that day, he would never have believed that such a thing existed.
"Thanks to your good wishes, the army led by Prince Yu will pass by Wuji Mountain tomorrow. I want to go down the mountain and follow the army to Hongshan City!" Anyway, she is wearing the face of a phoenix, so she will never be discovered.
.
"This is not possible. There is a war going on in Hongshan City. How can you go?" Muyue was the first to object when she heard her plan.
"Elder Muyue said yes, my queen should stay in the church with peace of mind." Helianqi agreed with Muyue's opinion. He did not dare to forget what Brother Wang told him.
"You don't need to tell me that I have decided to go to Hongshan City as a saint of the Holy Moon Sect. If you are really doing it for my own good, don't stop me from making this decision." Cen Xue said decisively,
She must go on this trip.
Mu Yue didn't know how to persuade her, but looking at the firm look in her eyes, it seemed that she had already made up her mind to go.
Cen Xue knew that Elder Muyue must have a lot to ask him, so she turned to look at Helianqi and said, "Prince Su, can you avoid this for a moment?"
Helian Qi nodded to her knowingly, turned away from the two of them, and waited until he was far away before Cen Xue said: "Elder Muyue, I know you must be worried that I will get hurt, so you won't let me go, but
Don't worry, I'll be fine, I promise you, I will definitely give you a safe Phoenix."
"You, do you know how dangerous Hongshan City is now? 80,000 troops are gathered outside the city. If anything goes wrong, both you and Phoenix will be killed!" Muyue was worried, but she had made up her mind.
It was really difficult for her.
"I know this better than anyone else. This body belongs to Phoenix. Once it is injured, not only me, but also Phoenix will be affected. But can you understand my mood at the moment? From the moment I opened my eyes and felt my heartbeat last night,
For a moment, I kept controlling my emotions because I was so excited and happy that I could be with Zhi again, and my child, my newly born child!" Cen Xue swallowed excitedly,
She had been suppressed for too long before, but now she was released, and her heart was filled with ups and downs.
"Okay, okay, I understand what you are thinking. You can go, but you must remember your promise to me that you must come back safely, for the sake of the king and the children..." Mu Yue knew that she could not stop it.
She, let her go.
"Well, I will definitely come back safely!" Cen Xue had a smile on her face and was very happy in her heart.
As expected, Helianjue's army had entered Wuji Mountain. Muyue told Cen Xueqian that she was afraid that something would happen to her. For the sake of safety, she asked Bai Lu and Qingsong to accompany her down the mountain and wait for Helianjue.
army, but Bai Lu and Qing Song didn't know the secret.
The three of them went down the mountain together, and none of them noticed anything wrong with the Phoenix in front of them. Whether it was the appearance or the voice, it was the same Phoenix they knew.
