C241 Intervention to pacify the chaos of phoenix and yang (Part I)
At this time, Lu Baihuan and the rest were rushing through the night, and they had long deviated from their original route, with specific directions they were not sure of the direction, and there were even some who did not hold any hope of escaping, much less in the entire northern region of the Honglong Empire, or even the vast mountains, it was extremely impossible to find a troop of dozens or hundreds of people to escort them, not to mention they only had more than 10 people.
"Brother Huan, why don't we rest for a while before hurrying on our way?" Lu Baihuan's wife was so tired that he could not take it anymore, and asked his husband.
"Sigh, that's fine too. The sky is too dark, even with the light of torches, the dense forest would not be able to determine the direction. Let's rest until daybreak!" Lu Baihuan looked at the pitch black mountains and started to lose interest. Walking like this was really not a solution, if he met rabbits or deer, that was fine, but if he met wild boars and wolves, then these dozens of people were not enough.
"We'll set up camp here and rest. The two of you should go find something to eat. We've been walking for the whole day, I think everyone's hungry!" Lu Baihuan's wife saw that his husband agreed with his suggestion, and so he instructed the disciples of the other Blood Illusion Valley s.
"Yes sir!" Everyone answered in unison. However, their voices sounded much weaker.
"Brother Huan, did we go off course?" After instructing everything, Lu Baihuan's wife ran over to his husband's side and asked softly.
"Most likely, the problem is that I haven't found out where we are. Without a guide that's familiar with the terrain and a map of this area, it would be very difficult to find them!" Lu Baihuan shook his head, his expression one of helplessness as though his entire family had died.
"Then what should we do?" His wife asked anxiously.
"We need to hurry up and get to the front to stop them. In any case, our destination is most likely the Sword League's headquarters! We just need to stop them on the way! " Lu Baihuan thought for a while, then said after thinking.
"Alright, Brother Huan, we'll do that!" His wife nodded in agreement.
"Tomorrow morning, we will continue to head north. If we encounter any villages, we will find local mountaineers and ask them for directions so that they can help us locate them." Lu Baihuan added.
"En!"

At this moment, Gongsun Ztian had already woken up. Since he had already woken up, there was a difficult and meaningful matter to accomplish. That was, 'Interrogate', the 'Interrogate' for the entire family!
The most outrageous part was that Leng Nuohan, who knew of everything that had happened, had actually taken the initiative to become an interrogator. Xiao Lan assisted him from the side. After that, Leng Nuohan did not speak anymore, and sat on the chair with a grand demeanor, while Xiao Lan began to grind the ink with a complacent expression.
"Tell me, how did you get injured?" The first question to ask, would be none other than Murong Fenghuang.
"And how were you saved?" Immediately after, his father, Situ Qingtian, did not want to lag behind and enthusiastically spoke.
"Third bro, can you tell uncle that you didn't sleep well in the middle of the night? What did you do?" Third Uncle Situ Qingyun put on a 'I don't want the entire world to be in chaos' attitude, and resolutely wanted to stir up this' spring water '.
"..."
If they were so shameless when dealing with a patient, Gongsun Ze Tian was not an idiot. He was playing around with him, but he still dared to be unreasonable. He only saw Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly covered his chest and feebly said: "Ah ? It hurts, I. The old wounds recur! "
At this time, Leng Nuohan suddenly opened her mouth and spoke. Hearing her clear voice, Gongsun Ze Tian was extremely excited, there was finally someone who could support him, and it was no longer hard to cry alone. But who knew that when Gongsun Ze Tian heard what Leng Nuohan had to say after that, her entire body crumbled apart.
Leng Nuohan let out a light cough, and then said faintly: "Cough cough, your injury is under the right side of the rib, not your chest, you covered the wrong place!"
Initially, everyone had already given up on 'interrogating' Gongsun Ze Tian. However, because of a single sentence from Leng Nuohan, all of them faced Gongsun Ze Tian and swore to ask him a question in the afternoon.
Gongsun Ztian felt helpless in his heart. Why did he have to find such an exposed wife? The problem with getting in the way at such a critical time was really bad. He needed to get rid of it.
However, Gongsun Ze Tian knew that with Leng Nuohan's intelligence, he must have seen through the things that he had told her. It was just a small part of the plan, and even the content that he had directly explained, there was still a lot of water left over, especially during the battle, those dangerous situations that he had described with a single stroke. When he thought about the scene back then, the Leng Jia girl had even seemed to be staring at him for a long time with a hidden meaning, causing even Gongsun Ze Tian to feel a bit scared.
Gongztian muttered in his heart: "Looks like this girl came here today to cause trouble for him. I have to think of another way!"
Therefore, Gongsun Zaitian used one of the three most powerful and mysterious techniques in history, the 'feigning amnesia'. Do you know what the other two were? One was the 'Urine Escape' that Master Henggong, Liu Bang, used frequently. Once this move was used, one's life would be saved, and it was an ancient life-saving technique. The other move was even more impressive. According to legend, it was the famous move of the Ming Emperor, Zhu Di, 'acting crazily'. This skill had fooled countless heroes, officials, and even nobles.
In fact, part of the reason why 'amnesia' was on par with these two unique moves was because of Gongsun Zaitian's own setting. According to Gongsun Zaitian's research, whether it was novels or TV dramas, as long as the screenwriter could not finish writing any of them, he would create a 'amnesia', 'car accident', 'terminal illness', and so on. As for the 'terminal illness', it was even more impossible to create a 'car accident'.
Gongsun Zaitian's plan failed, and he used his second plan. He suddenly shouted out in a loud voice, "Ah! My head hurts! I can't remember anything!"
He noticed that almost everyone was looking at him with concerned eyes. Only Leng Nuohan had a look of disbelief as she examined Gongsun Ze Tian.
Gongsun Ze knew that this girl was very smart. It seemed that she was going to use some tricks. As a result, when she covered her head with her hands, she hit the back of her head with a hidden force. Then, Gongsun Ze Tian really passed out.
"Third brother!" Seeing that Gongsun Ze Tian had fainted on the bed, her mother Murong Fenghuang realized that something was wrong and ran over quickly, shaking Gongsun Ze Tian's body as she spoke.
At this time, as soon as the others discovered that something was wrong, they surrounded him as well to check the situation. At first, Leng Nuohan thought that Gongsun Zedong was just playing around because of a strange treasure, although she thought that it was childish, she found it interesting too. However, seeing that Murong Fenghuang's expression did not seem to be fake, he stood up and walked forward.
When Gongsun Ztian woke up again, he pretended as if he had lost his mind. He did not say anything about what had happened that day. He declared to the outside world that he 'did not know' or 'forgot'.
On the second day after Gongsun Ze Tian woke up, Situ Qingyun's army had arrived at the outskirts of Fengyang City. Originally, Situ Qingyun wanted to wait until the people from the Surveillance Council arrived before acting, but Gongsun Zaitian couldn't wait any longer. Hence, Gongsun Zaitian found her mother Murong Fenghuang and had her come forward to look for Third Uncle. He also used Murong Fenghuang's name to formulate a concrete plan of action.
When Situ Qingyun saw the plan of action, he was immediately overjoyed. Even after studying till midnight, he still had not fully expressed his desire to do so. The next day, he personally paid a visit to Commander Ni of the City Guard Army. Logically speaking, although the city guards and the border guards were not in the same battle system, they were part of the military system, and his position of commander was lower than Situ Qingyun's. He shouldn't be visiting Situ Qingyun, but under the excessive excitement, Situ Qingyun wouldn't care about all these.
"Great General Situ, this official does not welcome you from afar!" When commander Ni saw that Situ Qingyun had suddenly come to visit, he was confused. He did not receive any orders from his superior, and Northern Army would pass by his place to report in the morning after hearing the report. A large group of elite troops had come from outside the city, and he was so shocked that he could not even find his feet.
"I won't waste words with you. From now on, in order to maintain the security of the city, I need to temporarily deploy all of the soldiers under your command, as well as all sorts of military equipment. Do you have any objections?" Situ Qingyun was too lazy to bother and went straight to the point.
"This official has no objections!" Upon hearing that someone was taking over this mess, Commander Ni was immediately delighted like a grandson.
"Un, then go and issue the order! "My men will take over very soon, and make your city guards listen to my orders immediately!" Situ Qingyun instructed as he walked out. Commander Ni followed closely behind, bowing and scraping as he sent Situ Qingyun out the door.

This morning, the people from the Sword League and the Blood Illusion Valley felt that something wasn't right. First, they heard that a large amount of troops had come from outside the city, and that the troops were waving the black tiger flags that were unique to the Northern Army.
But why did the elites of the Northern Army suddenly appear in the Fengyang City? This confused the two gangs. Not only that, but all of the City Guards who had been hiding in the City Guards Institution suddenly lined up at all the city gates.
But then, they understood something. A single shout came from the entire street, "People of the Sword League and the Blood Illusion Valley, listen up. You have already been surrounded. For the sake of ensuring your safety, please hide at home! "
Although this was the first time people in the city had heard such a thing, they still understood the general meaning of it. Ordinary citizens didn't need to inform anyone about this alone; they had already hidden in their woodshed or cellar, quietly waiting for the end of the battle.
Following the completion of the notice, the entire Fengyang City fell into a deathly silence. Not a single sound could be heard and the four city gates opened at the same time.
The soldiers at the front and sides of the formation were all holding giant iron shields, and the soldiers in the middle held a small round shield in one hand and a long spear in the other. The spear tip was pointed toward the sky at a 45 degree angle, and all the soldiers were wearing heavy infantry armor, just like a human bulldozer made of steel. Behind the square formation was a pair of light cavalry, each horse carrying something, rolled up in a ball, unable to tell what it was.
The direction of the army was directly towards the Sword League and the encampment of the Blood Illusion Valley. Although the movement was very slow, a strong pressure was gradually forming.
