Then, he summoned a palace servant to escort the Emperor out of the palace to meet up with the person who had come to pick him up.
"Your Highness, what about you?" Shangguan Jing asked.
"I'm going to Jadeglow Gate. Whether he's alive or dead, I have to bring him back." As Feng Jingyi spoke, she had already left Supreme Pure Palace and disappeared into the boundless night.
###Chapter3,Transaction
Five days later, Peng City.
Feng Jingyi rushed all the way here, but Peng City was already in a mess at this time. There were many situations of burning, killing and looting in the city, but the leader was the official troops guarding the city.
He originally thought that Peng City would be able to hold on for a few more days and let Feng Jing leave the south Tang safely. He also made more preparations for Prime Minister Shangguan in Jinling, but he did not expect that the situation here would be like this.
Therefore, she immediately grabbed a soldier who robbed the shop beside her and asked in a harsh voice, "Where is the mayor of Peng City, Cheng Tong?"
"Who are you?" The man shook her off and snorted.
"I'm asking you where Cheng Tong is," Feng Jing Yi asked in a low voice.
"You want to meet our General Cheng, alright," the man said as he whistled. "Come, tie the man up."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of soldiers surrounded him.
She only wanted to see the gatekeeper discussing the matter of guarding the city soon, so she did not take action and let them kidnap her and escort her to the barracks. However, when she went, she did not see Cheng Tong, but was locked into prison.
"Who gave you the right to send her off? Get Cheng Tong to come see me!" Feng Qianyi shouted angrily.
The man looked at the veil on her face with an obscene smile. He stretched out his hand and said, "It's still covering your face. It must be a girl who hasn't bloomed yet."
"Presumptuous!" Feng Jingyi took a step back and shouted in a deep voice.
"Then let us show you what we've done," the man said as he pulled off the veil on her face, revealing the peerless face hidden beneath the veil. "I didn't expect you to be such a rare beauty. However, if you want to see General Cheng, you'll probably have to see him on the bed."
As he spoke, the few accompanying escorts raised their heads and burst into loud and wild laughter.
"Is that so?" Feng Xueyi sneered and said fearlessly, "If your hand gets close to me again, I promise I'll break it. If Cheng Tong doesn't appear in front of me for two hours, I can't guarantee if his head is still above his head tomorrow."
"Just you?" The man sneered, turned around and left the cell, and snorted, "Don't worry, Pengcheng has such a beautiful woman like you. I will definitely send you to see General Cheng in bed."
"You..." Feng Jingyi gritted her teeth in anger.
"This is the general's key guard here. Keep a close eye on it." After saying that to the guard, the man swaggered away.
Fengjing watched the group of people walking away with knitted eyebrows. She had seen the soldiers in the Shangguan army. They had always been strict and strict. Although the court impeached that Cheng Tong's subordinates were not strict, they didn't expect that they were so rampant.
Pengcheng could no longer rely on them. She had to find another way to let Pengcheng hold on for a few more days so that she could buy time for Feng Jing to leave the south Tang.
"You don't have to look. Even if you see through your eyes, they won't let you out."
Feng Jingyi heard the sound and turned around. Only then did she realize that in addition to her, there were three other men in the cell. The person who spoke was a blue-robed man. He looked neat and had a clear outline.
The other person next to him looked more gentle-looking. He looked up at her without saying anything.
Behind them was a handsome man wearing a black feathered robe. He had sharp sword-shaped eyebrows and was closing his eyes for a rest. Although he was locked up in the Shack, he didn't look awkward at all. Instead, he looked like a graceful young master who lived in a luxurious room, leisurely and at ease.
"Why are you guys here?" Feng Jingyi asked as she took two steps closer.
"We have been robbed and imprisoned here. Cheng Tong wants my master to write a letter to go home and then get someone else to redeem the ransom. The person who delivered the ransom will be here in the next two days." The first person to speak said.
Feng Jingyi frowned when she heard that. The anger in her eyes grew even greater. It seemed like she had to properly deal with Cheng Tong in order to stabilize the city. It was just that she had come alone, so she couldn't act rashly.
"Since you are businessmen, how about I do business with you?"
The man in black, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at her with his cold and penetrating eyes. "Do you have the capital to talk business with us in your current state?"
The short knife in Feng Jing's sleeve cut open the rope. She stepped forward and said, "If you help me get out of here and catch Cheng Tong, I'll return all the money that you lost to him. I'll compensate you double to compensate you for the calamity of the prison these days?"
"This..." The man in blue looked at his master behind him, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
"With you?" The black-clothed childe said with a cold smile.
"It's up to me." Feng Jingyi said with a cold and serious face.
The army of the Grand Xia could attack at any moment, so she didn't have the time to waste here. She had to get out of the city as soon as possible to stabilize the interior of Peng City and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.
The black-clothed childe looked at her for a long time. Then he slightly raised his thin lips and said, "Deal."
###Chapter4,establishing one's might
An hour later, a bugle horn sounded in the camp. It was the signal of the main general's return to camp.
Feng Jingyi was set on fire at the door of the prison cell. The soldiers guarding the cell were successfully alarmed. They opened the door and prepared to check out the situation inside. But before they could enter the cell, they were hit by a flying needle and their military uniforms were quickly stripped away.
"Put them on." She threw a few suits of military uniforms and said.
The young man in black glanced at the clothes and frowned, as if he didn't want to wear such clothes.
"It's not a loss to sacrifice your self-respect in exchange for your life," Feng Jingyi said.
They just went straight out and slaughtered their way out. They were afraid that before they could find Cheng Tong, they would be surrounded by the entire army. Only by mixing in could they avoid being detected.
The black-clothed young master glanced at her and reached for his clothes. The two attendants beside him were stunned for a moment before they also changed into their uniforms.
Feng Jingyi took the lead, followed closely by the young man in black. The few of them lowered their heads and walked straight in the direction of the main tent, pretending to be patrolling the camp.
"How confident are you in winning?" The black-robed young man asked in a low voice.
Feng Jingyi didn't answer but looked a little more serious. She had been living in the palace for three years and hadn't fought for a long time. She couldn't predict how much chance Cheng Tong had of winning.
As she was looking at the main tent, she could not help but clench the dagger in her sleeve. Unexpectedly, someone behind her reported loudly, "General Cheng, bad news. The people who were locked up in the jail killed the guards and ran away."
As his voice fell, a group of people walked out of the main tent. Cheng Tong, who was the leader, raised his hand and pointed at Feng Jingyi and the rest who were patrolling the camp. "All of you, why aren't you looking for them?"
Feng Xueyi lowered her head and didn't do anything.
"It's you..." A person beside Cheng Tong strode forward and was about to teach his unprincipled subordinate a lesson, but when he saw the other party's face, he exclaimed in shock, "You..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a cold blade had already sliced across her neck. Feng Lanxiu dashed towards Cheng Tong, who was a few steps away. "Cover me!"
Although she rushed over with all her strength, her speed could not be faster than the command of the enemy.
"Archers!" Cheng Tong shouted as he realized that something was amiss. He took a few steps back and shouted.
In an instant, the surrounding soldiers all pointed their weapons at the four of them.
"I surrender." Feng Jingyi dropped her weapon and raised her hands without thinking.
The black-clothed childe was stunned and looked at the woman beside him in disbelief. What on earth did she want to do?
When Cheng Tong saw this, he walked over with a cold smile. "How dare you kill people in my place?"
"I'm flattered." Feng Jing smiled faintly, her phoenix eyes narrowing as she secretly counted the other party's steps. Her gaze suddenly turned cold as the dagger in her hand moved and the dagger turned into a long knife and pointed at the other party's throat. "Not only will I kill him, but I'll also kill you!"
The soldiers hadn't expected that the people who had already surrendered would make another move so quickly that they didn't dare to act rashly for the time being.
"As the defending general of Peng City, you didn't want to defend the city against the enemy, but allowed the soldiers to plunder the people. Do you admit your crime?" Feng Xueyi angrily rebuked.
"What right do you have to accuse me?" Cheng Tong sneered.
Feng Jingyi kicked him so hard that he fell to the ground and shouted in a low voice, "Is Shangguan Su, the daughter of the present Prime Minister, the sister of General Shangguan Yi, and the daughter of Princess Royal Nantang, qualified?"
"Ah!" Cheng Tong didn't dare to move because of the sharp knife on his neck, but he didn't show any fear on his face. "Now that Shangguan Yi is dead, how much longer can she hold her head high?"
"You ..."
"The situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty is over. I have collected a lot of property. If Miss Shangguan knows what's good for you, we can become bandits outside the frontier fortress. Perhaps, we can also make you the wife of the village."
Feng Jingyi moved her wrist, cut off her head and picked it up on the tip of the knife. She glanced at the soldiers around her coldly. "The south Tang Empire only feeds soldiers who guard the country, not bandits who bully the common people. The troops sent by the Princess Royal will arrive soon. Do you want to kill each other in the national crisis or pick up a weapon to guard the south Tang? It's up to you.
After a long silence, someone put down his weapon, and more and more people put down their weapons.
Feng Jingyi slowly glanced at the people present and said coldly, "Vice-commander, where are you?"
A man stood out and said, "I am the vice-general of the defending city of Peng City."
