In the distance, the Northwest Iron Cavalry was still eager for action, wantonly slashing and killing the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty. Wei Dongling could no longer suppress her burning anger. She took out the ghost - face mask from her lapel, put it on properly, whispered a few instructions to Lady He, and then leaped onto the palace wall.
"All Iron Cavalry soldiers, listen up! Retreat from the palace gates immediately!"
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers who were fighting were somewhat in disbelief of their ears. They quickly looked in the direction of the voice. In the firelight, they saw a figure wearing a ghost - face mask standing on the high wall, roaring loudly at them and repeating the order three times.
The Iron Cavalry soldiers looked at their General Cui with suspicion. They felt strange in their hearts. Not long ago, it was the Flying General who had ordered them to capture the imperial city of the Celestial Dynasty in one fell swoop! How could the Flying General suddenly emphasize that they should all retreat when victory seemed within their grasp?
General Cui was also quite confused at this moment. What was the Flying General up to? When the army was at the city gates, could he just decide not to fight? General Cui even faintly felt that the Flying General standing on the high wall at this moment was clearly different from the one who had issued the order to attack earlier. Could it be...
Not far away, the sharp - eyed Luo Xunlong noticed the bloodstain on Wei Dongling's neck. Seeing that the Iron Cavalry remained motionless, Luo Xunlong casually pulled out an arrow from a dead body on the ground and hurled it forcefully towards General Cui's ear.
General Cui suddenly sensed the killing intent and quickly tilted his head to dodge, barely avoiding it. The Iron Cavalry soldiers glared angrily and all looked at Luo Xunlong. They saw the "Ninth Prince" roar righteously, "Grand General Protecting the State! Are you deaf and didn't hear what the Flying General said?"
The Martial Champion Yu Mo, who was lying on the ground in a mess, being beaten up by Jingzhe and Pinhao, trembled a little upon hearing this. Grand General Protecting the State? Whose official title was this? Why was he completely unaware?
Luo Xunlong's words not only saved General Cui's face but also subtly admonished him. General Cui quickly waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat. Although the Iron Cavalry soldiers were dissatisfied with the "Ninth Prince" of the Celestial Dynasty giving orders to their General Cui, they had no choice but to obey and retreated in an orderly manner.
The moment Cui Huan saw Wei Dongling, she rushed towards her. She quickly hugged Wei Dongling's slender waist and sobbed, "How are you? Let me take a look at the wound on your neck!"
When Cui Huan carefully checked and saw that the bloodstain on Wei Dongling's fair and tender neck had already dried, she quickly felt for the ointment on her body, wanting to apply it.
Seeing that all the Iron Cavalry had retreated, Wei Dongling hugged Cui Huan and flew to the eaves. She pointed at Lady He and said to her, "Huanhuan, I can't find Yu Zixi! Huanhuan, I have other things to do. This is Lady He, Zixi's biological mother. I need you to guard Lady He closely." Since Wei Dongling couldn't find Yu Zixi, she couldn't afford to lose Lady He either.
Upon hearing this, Cui Huan knelt down gracefully and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your servant, Cui Huan, pays respects to the Lady." Cui Huan was extremely worried about Wei Dongling, but she also knew that only by doing what Wei Dongling had told her could Wei Dongling be free from worries. Moreover, the biological mother of Young Master Yu should naturally be her master.
Lady He stepped forward gracefully, reached out to help Cui Huan up, and grabbed Wei Dongling's hand, admonishing, "Miss Wei, take good care of yourself!"
Wei Dongling nodded in agreement, put away the ghost - face mask, and leaped out. She must stop this war where the people of the same country were fighting each other immediately. She couldn't let the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty make senseless sacrifices.
In the distance, General Qi and Li Mingyang were nowhere to be found. The Xiliang soldiers and General Qi's subordinates were fighting fiercely.
Wei Dongling quickly rushed forward and shouted sternly, "Stop fighting!" Her voice was very soft and was almost instantly drowned out in the crowd.
Luo Xunlong quickly stepped forward to protect Wei Dongling's side and roared at the crowd, "All of you, stop fighting!" Luo Xunlong's voice was full of vigor, like a demonic sound piercing through the ears and a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears.
Jingzhe and Pinhao tied up the Martial Champion Yu Mo tightly and carried him as they quickly flew towards Wei Dongling.
After Wei Dongling whispered an instruction, Luo Xunlong roared loudly, "Our country is still here. What kind of deep hatred do we have that we need to attack the imperial city and kill each other?"
The night wind carried Luo Xunlong's words far away. The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty couldn't help but be touched in their hearts.
Luo Xunlong then roared, "Moreover, your commander, General Qi, is already dead! As long as you lay down your weapons, you will still be the most outstanding soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty! When you return to your hometown, you will still be heroes returning in triumph! You won't let your parents down!"
This war had been fought inexplicably. Hearing Luo Xunlong's words, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty were faintly touched in their hearts. But unfortunately, the Xiliang soldiers were eyeing them menacingly, and they didn't dare to lay down their weapons.
Pinhao whispered to Jingzhe in confusion, "General Qi is already dead?"
Jingzhe stepped on the tightly - bound Martial Champion Yu Mo under his feet and replied calmly, "Who cares if he's dead or not." If he's not dead, I'll quietly go up and give him a couple of stabs.
Luo Xunlong then roared, "All Xiliang soldiers and the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, separate into two groups and retreat immediately!"
The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty stared at each other in disbelief. Was their "Ninth Prince" crazy? How could he give orders to the Xiliang soldiers? But soon, they saw a person emerge from the crowd. It was Li Mingyang, the Xiliang Prince!
They saw Li Mingyang rushing towards the "Ninth Prince" all the way, waving his hand and instructing the Xiliang soldiers behind him, "All of you, listen to him! Retreat!"
The Xiliang soldiers all looked puzzled. Weren't they here to support the Tenth Prince to ascend the throne? Why did their prince suddenly change his mind? They didn't dare to say much and all retreated in a flurry.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty looked at each other in dismay. While they were still hesitating, they saw the "Ninth Prince" pointing at the many corpses on the ground and angrily shouting, "What? You won't accept the toast but will take the forfeit? Do you want your parents, wives, and children to burn paper for you every Tomb - Sweeping Festival like them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed greatly, and they all retreated in an orderly manner.
Li Mingyang rushed forward and tried to pounce on Wei Dongling, but was grabbed by the collar by Luo Xunlong and lifted up. Li Mingyang quickly reached out to greet Wei Dongling, "Wanlin! It's me, Wanlin!"
Jingzhe and Pinhao stepped forward together to block Li Mingyang's sight and waved their hands, saying, "Princess Wu is injured. Prince Xiliang, please go back!" At the moment, the Tenth Prince, Murong Yunqian, had been severely disabled by Uncle Li on the spot, and one of his legs had been crippled. What was this Xiliang Prince still doing here? He should go back where he came from!
Li Mingyang refused to give up and said to Wei Dongling, "Wanlin, how badly are you injured? Let me take a look!"
Wei Dongling:...
Luo Xunlong threw Li Mingyang far away and waved his hand, saying, "So many people died today. Princess Wu is busy mourning at the moment and has no mood to see you. Prince Xiliang, come and visit some other day."
