When the letter eagle landed in Jinsha City, the official in charge of the letter took off the reed tube and immediately presented it to the prefect Li Xiqi.
At this time, Li Xiqi was drinking tea in front of the stove in his room, and next to him was Captain Zhang Hua.
"The snow this year is extremely heavy. Once the war horses go out, they can only cover more than fifty miles in one day."
Zhang Hua complained that the snow was too heavy and the snow was too deep, so that the horses could not move.
Li Xiqi drank tea and said: "It is said that the snowstorm was brought by the ghost tribe from the south. The snow near the Hera Pass is deeper."
Cavalry Captain Zhang Hua looked at the fire and said nothing.
Both of them had their own opinions. They felt that Jinsha City was too desolate. Apart from the business travelers coming and going, there was almost no life. It was just a military castle.
"Did you write back from Donna?"
Cavalry Captain Zhang Hua raised his head and asked.
Prefect Li Xiqi shook his head and said: "No, she didn't give any reply. She must not have said a word for us."
Cavalry Captain Zhang Hua said dissatisfiedly: "They have made great achievements, but we are stupidly guarding Jinsha City."
The door opened and a guard came in holding a reed tube.
"Master Taishou, a letter from Yuncheng."
Prefect Li Xiqi and Cavalry Captain Zhang Hua were stunned for a moment at the same time...
After taking the reed tube, Li Xiqi quickly opened it, took out the letter inside and unfolded it.
Captain Zhang Hua came over to read it. He thought it was Donna's reply.
When they saw the contents of the letter, they were both surprised.
It's not Donna's reply, but Long Chen's letter.
In the letter, Long Chen severely criticized Li Xiqi and said that if the two of them were willing to fight, they would gather in Yuncheng and attack the Ghost Clan Icefield after the beginning of spring.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Xiqi's forehead and he said: "After all, Jinsha City is guarding against people. Yuncheng is not easy to get to."
Cavalry Captain Zhang Hua also said: "Martial Saint, the ghost girl has lived for four hundred years, how cruel she is, if she goes there..."
Both of them were afraid and did not dare to say anything.
"Let me write a letter to apologize."
The prefect Li Xiqi wiped the sweat from his forehead, asked the guards to bring paper and pen, and immediately wrote a letter to explain.
After reading it several times to make sure that what he said was correct, he asked the soldiers to fly eagles and pass the message to Yuncheng.
"I'll go out on patrol too."
Cavalry Captain Zhang Hua got up and left the room, returned to his residence, changed his clothes and armor, and went out to patrol the city in the wind and snow.
...
Cloud City.
After 30,000 elite troops entered the city, logistics ordnance was delivered one after another, and training was carried out step by step.
The Long Family Army under Chen Weizhi had the fastest training. Both Long Chen and the Empress had given guidance. The effects of the ghost blood showed up, and the warriors' cultivation improved quickly.
The others watched with envy, looking forward to an early counterattack so that they could drink enough ghost blood after entering the ice field.
Feng He walked through the barracks, opened the door and entered Long Chen's room, closed the door, sat down to warm himself by the fire, and poured himself a cup of tea to drink.
"Sir, I heard that the past two days have been very sad. The two princesses took turns bullying you."
Feng He gossiped with a smile.
That night, Shi Jingxiang and I spent the night in a dry well. When we came back the next day, we were locked up by Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi for two days. All the soldiers in the city heard about it.
"Why do you, a grown man, gossip like this all the time? What's the situation with the ghost clan? Have you sent anyone out?"
Long Chen yawned and felt a little pain in his back.
Feng He said: "We have been sending people to follow them. After they entered the ice field, they pushed rocks to block the storm canyon. Our people did not dare to go in, so we monitored outside."
When the ghost soldiers retreated, Feng He's men followed them and sent messages back in the past two days.
"Sealing the canyon? Are you so afraid of me coming in? It's not like the style of the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl."
Martial Saint and Ghost Girl were injured, especially Martial Saint was seriously injured, but even so, they would not be able to block the Storm Canyon as soon as they returned.
Are they planning to sleep for another four hundred years?
"Yes, we also discovered a very strange thing. It seems that Wu Sheng and the ghost girl have disappeared."
"Missing? What do you mean?"
Long Chen noticed a strange aura.
Feng He shook his head and said: "Our people did not dare to follow too closely. When the ghost soldiers retreated, the line was very long, so we could only follow them from a distance."
"Anyway, we feel that the ghost soldiers are a bit leaderless, which is very strange."
The spies from Xichang did not dare to get too close. In addition, the wind and snow were too heavy, and the footprints left by the Dragon Slayer Army were covered up. They did not find Li Chengdao leaving with the Dragon Slayer Army.
"It shouldn't be..."
Long Chen thought about it and said, "How about..."
Feng He chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll go there myself."
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's been a hard trip."
Feng He finished the tea and immediately went out to prepare.
...
Icefield.
Yue Lang and Yue Xi finally returned to Yue City with more than 20,000 ghost soldiers.
The light in the distance illuminates the dark sky, the moonfish swims under the ice, and the familiar atmosphere of their hometown makes them feel at ease.
"Finally home!"
Yuexi was so excited that she wanted to cry. The ghost soldiers behind her cheered and shouted: "We are back, we are finally back."
"I want to go home, I want to go home!"
The team of ghost soldiers became chaotic, and Yue Lang shouted loudly: "Don't be chaotic, follow my orders, and you are not allowed to leave the team without permission!"
After returning to Yue City, Yue Lang will start his plan to use the army to pressure the clan elders and push himself and Yue Xi to the throne.
If the ghost soldier escapes and he becomes a mere commander, the clan elders will not buy it.
But the ghost soldiers didn't listen to Yue Lang at all, and the team rushed towards Yue City in disorder.
"It's okay. They are homesick. Let them go back first. There is no need to rush this matter."
Seeing that she couldn't stop scolding her, Yue Xi simply stopped and asked the ghost soldiers to go back.
Yue Lang had no choice but to let the ghost soldiers leave.
When they reached the outskirts of Moon City, the cheering ghost soldiers suddenly became quiet, and then there were sounds of crying and cursing.
"what happened?"
Yue Lang hurried over and saw the destroyed igloo and countless frozen corpses.
Some of the corpses on the ground were disemboweled, some were intact, and most were decapitated.
But without exception, they all had their blood sucked.
"They... arrived at Moon City?"
Yue Xi looked around in horror, and she found that the Moon Palace was gone.
"The palace was destroyed?"
Yuexi said with a trembling voice.
"Where are our families? General, where are our families?"
"Why is this happening? Why was Moon City destroyed?"
"Who did it? How could Long Chen enter here? Isn't he at Yanmen Pass?"
"What happened, who did it?"
"Where are my parents, wife and children? Where is my daughter?"
More than 20,000 ghost soldiers shouted wildly, and the scene was so chaotic that it was uncontrollable.
Yuexi quickly walked to the Moon Palace. The glorious Moon Palace was destroyed, and the corpses of the maids were everywhere. They died in a miserable state.
There was also a maid buried under the collapsed Moon Palace. Her body had frozen and turned into an ice sculpture.
"How could this happen? Long Chen sent people to invade the holy realm?"
Yuexi looked at all this in confusion, not knowing what to do.
Yuelang came over, stared at the destroyed Moon Palace, and said to himself: "The Moon City was destroyed, and all the clan elders died? Where did the people go?"
Yue Xi looked at Yue Lang and asked, "What should we do now?"
This time, Yuexi had no idea and didn't know what to do.
