Chapter 107 Border Pass Cangzhou
On the first day of April, Murong Chen quickly arrived at the frontier Cangzhou. Due to the sudden war in the past few days, the handles of the gates of Cangzhou were very strict. Strict interrogation, the slightest suspicious will be immediately arrested and interrogated in the prison of the military camp.

Murong Chen showed the queen's letter, and the Fengwang's exclusive token. There was a clear and powerful "Feng" character on the black token, to teach all the soldiers guarding the city not to be disrespectful, and to report directly to the commander, who then reported to the Fengwang. In just one stick of incense, Murong Chen followed a leading general to the commander's camp.

In the largest commander's camp, a tall and straight man in silver-white armor stood beside the huge table, looking down at the topographic map on the table with several people around him, whispering a few words from time to time, probably discussing the battle plan.

"Report to Feng Shuai that Mr. Murong is here."

Several people at the desk looked up at the same time. The silver-white man in the middle was about 30 years old, with handsome facial features, sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, calm and sharp eyes, and a natural air of a general could not be concealed in his expressions. The eldest son, now His Royal Highness Feng Wang, Cang Fengqi.

In front of so many eyes in the commander-in-chief camp, Murong Chen bowed respectfully, knelt down on one knee, and performed a military salute: "The last general, Murong Chen, is ordered by the empress empress and General Murong to come to listen to Feng Wang's dispatch, and pay homage to His Royal Highness Feng Wang." .”

Ding Zhong and others knelt down behind him: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Feng Wang."

"Retire first, come to discuss tomorrow's battle plan after dinner." Cang Fengqi retreated to the left and right, waited for a group of people to salute and file to leave, and then said lightly: "Get up."

Murong Chen stood up, waved Ding Zhong and the others to wait outside the tent.

Cang Fengxi sat down on the big carved chair behind the table, looked at Murong Chen, and said, "Is something happening in the emperor?"

Gentle as jade, a gentleman, if Cang Fengqi took off his silver-white battle armor and put on an elegant and luxurious brocade robe, his jade-like and elegant appearance and temperament would not lose to Yue Xiao at all.

As the saying goes, there is a slight difference.

If Murong Chen was lucky enough to meet Yue Xiao, the owner of Jiyue Villa, when he went to Moon City, he would be shocked to find that Yue Xiao and Feng Wang were at least five points similar in appearance, and this point would make many people who don't know Lovers change color in horror.

However, Cang Fengqi, who put on the battle robe, had a thick and restrained astonishing aura between her brows, which the gentle Yue Xiao didn't have.

Murong Chen was thinking about how to answer, saying that the queen and his father are trying their best to make him ascend the throne as soon as possible, or that the situation in the imperial city at this time is more serious than the battlefield here, and there are turbulent winds, in order to find the whereabouts of Yuxi and eradicate the future. For the Moon King, who is a threat to the throne, the Murong family has dispatched all the dead men and powerful experts.

After thinking about it for a while, Murong Chen finally asked, "How is the battle going on, Your Highness?"

Cang Fengqi glanced at him, and said lightly: "It's not very optimistic. The Lan country army suddenly has more than ten thousand iron cavalry, and the combat power has greatly increased. In the battle last night, our side lost [-] soldiers, while the opponent's cavalry Almost unscathed."

"More than ten thousand cavalry?" Murong Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he frowned, "Lan Kingdom has 1 elite soldiers, of which only [-] cavalry are almost equal to the strength of His Highness. Now there are more than ten thousand cavalry suddenly. It's kind of weird."

Cang Fengqi nodded: "This king is also thinking about this question, but it is more practical to think about an effective combat plan than to study the sudden arrival of their ten thousand cavalry."

"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid His Highness won't be able to leave the battlefield in a short period of time." Murong Chen said, his heart sank. , At this moment of extreme tension, a little delay may cause all their efforts to fall short and lose everything.

Cang Fengqi looked at him with deep meaning: "Unless you have the ability to make all the cavalry of the Lan Kingdom suddenly collapse on the battlefield... Dust, what happened in the palace? You must let me go back."

Murong Chen said lightly: "Concubine Han, I'm sick."

"Concubine Han? How could it be..." Cang Fengqi was stunned, then frowned, and understood, "Did the empress do something?"

Because of his expression, Murong Chen suddenly felt that the following words were a bit difficult to say, so he couldn't help but fell silent for a moment, and when he saw His Highness Feng Wang looking at him with a serious expression, he nodded and said: "Yes, the Han family has been abandoned."

Cang Fengxi stared at the topographical map on the table used to discuss the battle plan, his eyes were full of thoughts, and after a while, he said lightly: "If the Han family is abandoned, there must be other forces to replace it. Tell me, I don't want to ask you one by one. , make it clear at once."

"Yuecheng, Jiyue Villa." Murong Chen had clearly sensed the boundless anger in the heart of the man sitting across from him at this time, he carefully considered his words, and tried to keep the story short, "I met Fengxing in Yuecheng, I don't know how much he What happened after I disappeared years ago? He is now the manager of Jiyue Villa. On behalf of the owner of Jiyue Villa, he agreed to my request and is willing to provide all the backup food, grass and weapons for His Highness’s [-] troops. In exchange."

"Blank decree?" Cang Fengqi smiled lightly, "To deal with Concubine Han Gui and Huaiyuan, isn't this condition a little too risky? Why are the queen mother and uncle so impatient to let the king ascend the throne?"

Can't wait... Murong Chen was noncommittal, and said in a low voice: "The emperor's health is already dying. A while ago, he suddenly ordered the third prince who left the palace 11 years ago to be the Moon King. However, the empress only learned about it in the past few days. That Moon King is very likely to have the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hands. Only by getting rid of Concubine Han Gui and the Second Prince first, can we deal with Moon King without distraction."

Hearing the words, Cang Fengqi fell silent suddenly, her eyes drooped slightly, she didn't know what she was thinking, after a long time, she said: "Where's Huaiyuan?"

Murong Chen was a little puzzled. The relationship between King Feng and King An was not deep, and even a little indifferent. At this time, he was indifferent when he heard about King Yue and Yuxi, but fell in love with King An. The matter is not as worthy of Wang An's attention? There is a strange feeling in his heart, but Murong Chen still replied truthfully: "The commander of the quilt has been imprisoned in the sky prison."

Cang Fengqi looked up: "Zi Yu?"

Murong Chen nodded: "Yes. The imperial concubine's order is to kill, but the commander-in-chief said that there is no conclusive evidence of treason, and he is temporarily detained in the prison pending trial."

"It's rare that he's thoughtful." Cang Fengqi's indifferent words didn't seem to have any special meaning, but Murong Chen could clearly hear an imperceptible sarcasm from it, but, who was it?
Cang Fengqi didn't seem to see his strange expression, and said indifferently: "Without the jade seal, the conditions promised to Jiyue Villa are empty words. This matter cannot be concealed, and the variables are too big. Once Concubine Han Guifei dies, the Han family will have nothing to do with it." The reason is for this king to use again, and only by controlling Huaiyuan can the Han family be wary."

Murong Chen was startled, and then suddenly realized that the imperial decree had to be sealed with a jade seal. Now that the jade seal is lost, it is natural that the promise cannot be fulfilled. If Jiyue Villa changes its attitude at that time, they will have nothing to say.

No wonder he said that Commander Zi was very thoughtful. It seemed that everything that his aunt and father had worked so hard to do in the imperial capital was nothing more than a lack of thoughtfulness in his heart.

However, Murong Chen was thoughtful, Feng Wang seemed to be too indifferent and calm about the loss of Yue Wang and Yuxi who appeared out of nowhere, did he know it long ago, or did he not care at all?
Cang Fengqi glanced at him, pointed to the big carved chair against the wall on the left, and said calmly, "Sit down and rest for a while."

Murong Chen had been on the road for several days in a row, there was hardly much rest time on the road, his body was indeed exhausted, and he also knew that Ding Zhong and the others standing outside the tent and the servants in the house were also exhausted, but the people in front of him , now is no longer the time to joke about being tired, so he respectfully said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The time for the two of them to play together, study, practice martial arts and play together has passed, and as they get older, the intimacy seems to have disappeared. Even if they are cousins, a sentence of "Thank you, Your Highness" immediately separates the upper and lower ranks.

"Come here." Cang Fengqi called out.

Two soldiers came in from outside the tent, knelt down on one knee at a distance, and said respectfully: "Commander Feng."

Cang Fengqi gave a simple order: "Prepare two tents for the brothers outside, arrange for them to have dinner together."

"Follow the commander's order."

After the two retreated, Cang Fengqi looked at Murong Chen and said, "You can rest in my tent tonight. I haven't seen you for a long time. How about we brothers talking all night long?"

"It's good, it's just," Murong Chen smiled, and said again: "Tomorrow there is still a tough battle to be fought, His Highness needs to recharge his spirits, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk all night long."

Cang Fengqi raised the corners of her lips noncommittally, and changed the subject: "How did Fengxing come to Moon City?"

"Well, I don't know." Murong Chen frowned slightly, "Feng Xing seems to be a little different from before."

Cang Fengqi took two teacups, poured some tea, handed a cup to Murong Chen, took a sip of the tea himself, and then said calmly: "Don't keep shouting, he is your uncle .”

Murong Chen stood up to take the tea and wanted to thank him. Hearing this sentence, the words he wanted to say froze on his lips. After a while, he sat down again, put the cup to his lips, and slowly sipped the tea, speechless for a while.

A brother-in-law who was only a few years older than him and was born to the lowest singing girl...

Seeing his expression like this, Cang Fengqi didn't want to say anything more, but said: "I don't want to worry about it, what method did you use to get Fengxing to agree to your conditions, but the business of Jiyue Villa is the best among the nine countries in the world The power of the imperial court alone can't do anything to them. Their promises can be trusted, but they can't be trusted completely. Without jade seals, they can't give the promised benefits to others. Jiyue Villa has reasons to go back at any time. This king will not take [-] soldiers Therefore, you must send a letter back, and Huaiyuan must not move for the time being." After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and said lightly: "Forget it, Zi Yu is here, and he will arrange everything."

Murong Chen nodded absent-mindedly, drank some tea, calmed down his emotions silently, then suddenly remembered something, looked up at King Feng, and said: "I don't know the origin of the woman that His Highness asked to escort into the palace?"
