Upon hearing An Xuetang’s question, Yun San and Feng Ming subconsciously exchanged glances. Yun San then cupped his hands and slowly explained.
It turned out that the night An Xue Tang and Mo Jun Yi left, Yun San discovered something was wrong outside the city not long after.
Their northern army actually had a garrison outside the city. On a daily basis, if something happened, the soldiers stationed outside would send messages via carrier pigeons or have messengers rush back to the city to report.
After learning about the war, they made an agreement in the Beijang military camp: to send a letter every hour to prevent something from happening at their stationed point. The people inside the city didn’t know this.
But even after two hours passed that night, there was still no word from the outpost outside the city.
Yun Sanbian sensed that something had happened outside the city, preventing them from returning to send a message. He also suspected that the soldiers stationed outside the city were likely killed. That’s why he rushed to meet Feng Ming that night to discuss the situation.
After Yun San explained the matter to Feng Ming, Feng Ming didn’t utter a single word of nonsense and immediately went out of the city to investigate in person.
As expected, a large number of cavalry arrived outside the city, at least ten thousand strong. They were trying every means to get into the city!
At this moment, Fengming was also fortunate that he had gone out to check the situation. If anyone else with lower light gong skills had been there, they would have probably been discovered and silenced long ago.
These tens of thousands of cavalry were able to appear outside Beijang City without making a sound. It shows that their martial arts skills are profound and their stealth abilities are very strong.
If these tens of thousands of cavalry were to attack the city, it would probably not be a difficult task.
Fortunately, the Northern Frontier army had An Xue Tang’s explosives. Even with millions of cavalry, they were still vulnerable to such powerful weapons.
After Feng Ming returned, he told Yun San about the incident. Yun San then followed him out of the city with explosives.
As two men were leaving the city with explosives strapped to their backs, they happened to run into those people who were slowly approaching the city gate.
Feng Ming immediately decided to throw the explosives directly, otherwise waiting for them to get closer to the city gate, they would destroy the wall if they threw the explosives again.
Because those people were cavalry and on the move, even if Feng Ming and Yun San managed to detonate four explosives, they couldn’t wipe them all out.
Over ten thousand cavalrymen, half of them died, and the other half were more or less injured, but they still got away.
Feng Ming chased them all the way, but those cavalrymen finally disappeared into the territory of Xiliang.
Because of what happened that night, the people in Beijiang City thought the enemy had reached the city walls. Therefore, they have been keeping their doors shut these past two days and dared not go out.
This caused An Xuetang’s return to find the usually bustling city deserted, with not a single person in sight.
After hearing Yun San’s explanation, An Xue Tang fell silent for a moment, then looked at Feng Ming, “Brother, you said they disappeared within the territory of Xiliang, could it be that they are people from the Xiliang Kingdom?”
Feng Ming and Yun San denied in unison, “No.”
Yun San shook his head and continued, “The people of Xiliang are not good at riding horses, and they can’t find so many male cavalrymen within their territory.”
Xi Liang Guo is a matriarchal society. Men are actually quite weak, and most of the soldiers who fight on the battlefield are women.
For so many years, the custom of female dominance and male submission in the Western Liang kingdom has long since rendered those men useless!
So Feng Ming and Yun San could both be certain that those martial arts experts on horseback were definitely not men from Xiliang.
An Xuetang frowned, “Since they weren’t soldiers from the Western Liang Kingdom, how could they have disappeared within its borders? Could the Western Liang Kingdom have provided them with some kind of assistance?”
Feng Ming nodded slightly, “I also suspected this matter. They could disappear from under my nose in an instant, someone within the territory of Xi Liang must have received them.”
An Xuetang fell silent for a moment. These tens of thousands of cavalry were not from the Great Yue country, nor were they from the Xiliang country. Who could they be?
Which army could field tens of thousands of highly skilled cavalry? <<<
An Xuetang looked at Yun San, “Yun San, these years, has A Jing made enemies with other countries?”
Yun San shook his head. “The enemies of Bei Jiang have always only been the Lan Nation. All other countries know of the Prince’s prowess, they dare not rashly offend Bei Jiang.”
“Lan Guo… An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, “Haven’t you suspected it was someone from Lan Guo?”
Feng Ming and Yun San looked at each other. Feng Ming smiled, “It’s not them, but this Blue Nation… it’s true that their precautions are very correct.”
“What does this mean?”
After you left Atang, there were indeed movements from the Blue Kingdom. King Lan mobilized at least 200,000 elite troops and gradually moved towards the northern border.
“… ” Let me know if you have any other text you’d like translated! ?
An Xuetang’s eyes turned cold. This Lan Chu Xiao, sure enough was a person. In the face of huge temptation, what brotherhood…was all fake!
But she had never really believed in humanity, especially not when it came to self-interest. To believe in humanity in the face of profit was a very foolish thing to do.
Then what? Are they still there?
Feng Ming smiled, “We withdrew a long time ago. The Blue King probably had people watching the movements of Dayue Country at all times, so news of the tens of thousands of Dayue soldiers being wiped out overnight reached his ears very quickly. They didn’t expect such a situation and retreated soon after.”
“Next, the Blue King sent a letter?!”
Feng Ming and Yun San looked at each other, both of them chuckled. Feng Ming continued, “My A Tang is indeed clever. After our retreat, the Blue King sent a letter. The gist was that he had withdrawn his troops to help Bei Jiang at a critical moment. However, he received news that Bei Jiang had already defeated the Great Yue Kingdom, and he felt that Bei Jiang no longer needed help, so he withdrew his troops.”
“Heh.”
“An Xuetang let out a cold smile, “This Lan Chu Xiao really takes us for fools. But it’s also good this way, after this incident we will know that even though this Blue King is a former brother of the Yun Family Army, and Lan Chu Xiao is a relative of A Jing by blood, he is not entirely trustworthy. We should be more careful in the future.”
Yun San bowed seriously, “I understand.”
An Xuetang thought for a moment, “But speaking of which, the origins of those tens of thousands of cavalry still need to be figured out.”
“Rest assured, Your Highness, I have sent someone to investigate.”
“Hmm.”
As soon as they finished talking, Mo Junyi and the others returned. An Xuetang immediately arranged for the injured Xuntanggu brothers to go to the military doctor’s place to get medicine.
Feng Ming personally checked their pulses, his brows furrowed. The White Light Palace’s old master and that mysterious Bai Hengli were indeed rare masters.
They were all martial arts practitioners, but they were beaten so badly. This shows how powerful those two people are.
An Xue Tang walked to Feng Ming’s side, “Brother, what do you think?”
“Their internal injuries were indeed very serious. Luckily, they took a life-saving medicine in time, or else it would have affected their five internal organs and six bowels, even the gods couldn’t save them.”
An Xuetang nodded, “Yes. Brother, I suddenly thought of a question just now.”
“Hmm?”
“Could those tens of thousands of cavalry be connected to the Bai Guang Palace?”
