It was almost noon when Lin Muyu brought the remnants of the demon clan back to Zhongnan City. It was snowing heavily. Tang Xiaoxi led the elite cavalry of the Longtan Camp in Zhongnan City to welcome him twenty miles outside the city. The two sides met on the snowfield.

Tang Xiaoxi was very relieved when she saw Lin Muyu returning safely.

However, when Tang Xiaoxi's eyes fell on Qianfeng, Qianfeng was somewhat cramped and embarrassed.

"The defeated general Qianfeng met His Highness Xi." He saluted respectfully, with the devil's etiquette to the princess.

"No need to be polite, I am not Feng Yuan's daughter."

Tang Xiaoxi smiled faintly and said, "And Feng Yuan has always regarded me as a daughter. What you want is the demonic power in my body."

Qianfeng was a little surprised: "Princess Xi is still holding a grudge against what the gods did to you back then?"

"I will never forget."

Tang Xiaoxi turned over the horse, and the red cloak was spinning in the flying snow. She turned around and looked at Qianfeng deeply, saying, "If it weren't for your saint and Yao Ji, I wouldn't have killed Xiaoyin. I will never forget this hatred in my life. Qianfeng, now the unity between humans and demons is just Mu Mu's meaning. I respect the will of the King of Qin, but it does not mean that I don't hate the demons."

Qianfeng laughed at herself: "Okay, I'm the marshal of the gods. Now His Majesty and His Highness, both princesses, have died, their bodies and heads are different, and their heads are missing. It's not too much to vent all the hatred on me, Qianfeng."

Lin Muyu walked over with the reins of the war horse, reached out and pressed Tang Xiaoxi on the leg of the horse's back, and said, "Xiaoxi, don't say it anymore, it's not fair to him to settle some of the accounts on Qianfeng's head."

Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said softly: "Well, I understand."

Lin Muyu looked at Qianfeng again and said, "Feng Yuan, Feng Jing'er, Feng Ning'er's head was sent to Dongshuang City by the Tianji Empire as a gift. I have ordered them to be buried with the etiquette of the King of the Great Qin Empire."

"real."

Qianfeng's body trembled subconsciously and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Qin... After I settle down, can I go to pay tribute to His Majesty and His Highnesses, the two princesses?"

"That's your freedom."

Lin Muyu breathed and said, "Everyone has been walking all night. Come into Zhongnan City and eat something hot, otherwise many people will probably get sick."

"good."

Tang Xiaoxi said, "Mumu, you really want to allow these demons to enter Zhongnan City."

Her meaning is self-evident. Three months ago, the demons were still fighting bloody battles with the Empire. They were both mortal enemies, but now they want the two armies to live in peace. I am afraid many people will not be able to accept this fact.

"Xiao Xi, what do you think?" Lin Muyu asked.

Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips: "The Longtan Camp and the Central South Family's army have been fighting repeatedly, and they have long been deeply resentful. If they were allowed to enter Zhongnan City, there would be friction. I think it would be better to let Qianfeng lead the demon army to station in a small town outside the city, where there are enough houses and food can be transported from Zhongnan City."

"What does Marshal Qianfeng mean?" Lin Muyu asked.

Qianfeng's expression was calm: "Your Highness can call me Qianfeng. The gods were defeated in a crushing defeat. I am no longer a marshal. As for the garrison, it depends on your highness's arrangement."

"Don't worry."

Lin Muyu patted his shoulder and said, "You gods will rise again. Let's spend this period first. Besides... we may not be able to live in Zhongnan City for too long."

"Why?" Tang Xiaoxi asked in surprise.

Lin Muyu's eyes turned to the snowy areas in the north, with a hint of helplessness and sadness, and said, "Zhongnan City is located on the Eight Wilderness Land. To the north of the Eight Wilderness Land is the snowy areas, but there is no danger to guard at all. The mere passes are only a few meters high. If we defend the Eight Wilderness Land to the end, the losses will be very heavy."

"Then Mu Mu, what you mean."

"Prepare to retreat to Tongtian Gorge."

Qianfeng was shocked: "Does Your Highness Yu give up the huge Eight Wastelands to the Tianji Empire?"

"We have no choice." Lin Muyu dusted the snow on her shoulders and took the reins of the snow and said: "The Gentian Camp cannot be meaninglessly damaged. After fighting last night, I believe that Wei Qiu lost many people."

Tang Xiaoxi was a little sad and said, "In order to save these people from the demon clan, more than 13,000 people have been killed in the snowy area until last night. More than half of the more than 6,000 people who came back were injured. Even Wei Qiu himself was seriously injured and is resting in Zhongnan City. For only one night, our wounded barracks and medicines are not enough."

"ah……"

Lin Muyu felt ache in her heart and her fists clenched.

Qianfeng frowned and said, "It is my fault to let the Longtian Camp bear such losses. Please rest assured His Highness Yu that the Tianji Empire destroyed my entire clan, but Qianfeng has a breath and will inevitably deal with the Tianji Empire to the end."

"Well, keep your strength first, let's go."

Lin Muyu turned over and said, "People come, send more scouts to inquire about the situation of Longji's regiment. In addition, send scouts Zhanying to the coastal area to investigate."

"yes."

The wind and snow were swaying, and the team walked towards the direction of Zhongnan City.

Zhongnan City, the walls of this thousand-year-old ancient city are mottled. It is like an old man standing on the northern border of the mainland. When the strong enemy arrives, this old man seems so vulnerable that he cannot stop the attack of Zhongnan City's iron hoof.

Qianfeng's troops arranged to go to the town to rest. Although it was just a declining town, it looked like a paradise for the demons who had been in the frozen polar regions for months. It was so extravagant for them to drink a sip of hot water and eat a fragrant steamed bun. Even the face of the marshal Qianfeng was very ugly, which was obviously due to nutritional deficiency.

Walking on the main street of Zhongnan City, the horse's hooves were whispering thick snow, and the sound was constantly rustling.

"Is Long Yu Douxuan really not afraid of the magic crystal cannon?" Tang Xiaoxi thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

Lin Muyu nodded: "Yes, Marshal Qianfeng can prove this."

Qianfeng looked tragic and said, "Long Yu Douxuan seems to be the natural nemesis of the Magic Crystal. We dispatched five hundred winged brothers to launch suicide attacks, but they did not receive even a slight effect. They used their lives to prove the reason why Long Yu Douxuan restrained the Magic Crystal."

“It’s not just them.”

Tang Xiaoxi said in a calm voice: "There are more than 10,000 soldiers who died in the Longtian Camp, and they are also stained with blood because of the power of Long Yu Douxuan."

Qianfeng was a little silent. After a few seconds, he said lightly: "I'm sorry."

Lin Muyu felt extremely uncomfortable. Tang Xiaoxi's hatred for the demon clan was far deeper than he had imagined. This battle was indeed caused by the relationship between the demon clan to cause the Longtan Camp to lose more than 10,000 elite soldiers. This was also a heavy blow to the Imperial Army, but Lin Muyu knew very well that he had to reconcile this contradiction, otherwise it would cause a disaster in the future.

"Xiao Xi, the demon clan is also the victim." He looked at Tang Xiaoxi beside him, his eyes were soft, and he said, "Imagine that the tens of thousands of troops of the Longji Corps cooperated with the Tianji Dragon Cavalry to cross the northern glacier continent bridge for a surprise attack. The demon army happened to encounter them in the north. In fact, it was the demon clan who blocked this knife for our Great Qin Empire. In a sense, we must be grateful for the sacrifices made by the demon clan."

Tang Xiaoxi opened her mouth in shock and nodded. Lin Muyu's words woke her up from the dream, causing her to make some changes in an instant.

Qianfeng's voice was very bitter: "It's a pity that the price of this sacrifice is the lives of His Majesty of our clan and the two His Highnesses."

"Ning'er is my friend, I won't let her die in vain."

Tang Xiaoxi looked at the distant sky with beautiful eyes, clenched her pink fists, and a faint flame lingered around her, saying, "Longji Corps killed Ning'er, I will definitely settle this account with them, and pay back the blood debt."

"Yes, the blood is debt and blood is paid back." Qianfeng gritted his teeth.

Lin Muyu remained silent. What he was thinking about was when he would retreat, and Zhongnan City would definitely not be able to stay there. Once the main force of the Tianji Empire came across the sea, it would be possible to form a siege against Zhongnan City in a blink of an eye. It would be difficult to leave at that time.

At this time, he had already arrived at the lord's mansion in Zhongnan City. Wei Qiu had gauze wrapped around his shoulders and walked out with the help of several guards.

"Wei Qiu."

Lin Muyu welcomed him forward.

Wei Qiu fell to the ground with his legs weak and tears flowed: "Your Highness, his subordinates are incompetent, which caused more than 10,000 brothers to be killed in the Longtan Camp, and they were unable to even collect their bodies. This is all my fault."

Behind him, a group of senior generals of the Gentian Camp knelt down together. Basically, each of them was injured and in a mess.

Lin Muyu can't remember how long it took for the Gentian Camp to have not suffered such a defeat. Since the Empire developed the Magic Crystal Cannon, the Gentian Camp has begun to win every battle. However, last night's battle broke everyone's heart and courage. The gap in absolute strength almost completely defeated their confidence and morale. The next major event does not seem to be how to evacuate, but how to reorganize morale.

"Wei Qiu, get up."

Lin Muyu turned over and dismounted, helped Wei Qiu up, and said, "The soldiers who died in battle were all warriors of the empire. They sacrificed their lives for the country. Their names will be loaded into the stele forest of Zhenguo. Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wei Qiu wiped his tears and said, "Your Highness, they are too strong..."

"I know, go in and have something to eat first."

"yes."

"Come here, write a feather book and send it back to Dongdu to inform King Xin that King Zhong dared to fully defend against the magic crystal cannon, so that they could prepare early."

"yes."

After entering the hall, several tables of food were already set up, but there were only vegetables and no wine. The Gentian Camp was defeated. Today, no one would have the intention to drink and could not taste the taste of fine wine.

Qianfeng sat next to Lin Muyu, looking at the table of delicious food, and felt bitter in his heart.

eat……

Don't know the taste.

But his body needed nutrition, so Qianfeng ate a lot, so many of the ten thousand men in the Gentian Camp looked at him with contempt.
