Chapter 460 Yan Zhao's Spiritual Journey to Linxueyue, Dongjun's Vow to Save the Imperial
Xueyue City, City Lord’s Pavilion.
Baili Dongjun was discussing city affairs with Sikong Changfeng and Yin Luoxia when he suddenly turned serious and raised his hand to signal the two to be quiet.
"I feel a familiar internal force rushing towards us..." He closed his eyes and concentrated, then opened them after a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "It's my cousin, he's astral projection!"
Before he finished speaking, a faint golden light condensed in the pavilion, gradually solidifying into the shape of Wen Yanzhao.
"Cousin, Little Gun Immortal, Miss Luoxia." Wen Yanzhao's illusory figure cupped his hands, his voice soft yet clearly reaching the ears of the three.
Baili Dongjun quickly stood up: "Cousin, what's wrong with you..."
"To make a long story short," Wen Yanzhao's illusory figure said solemnly, "something has happened in Tianqi City. Censor Hu Bufei has been framed and imprisoned, and will be executed in the autumn."
The Hu family and the Baili family have a history; Hu Bufei's father, Hu Cheng, spoke up for Baili's grandfather on several occasions back then.
He briefly recounted the events at the Dali Temple, and concluded by saying, "My uncle and I are both tied up, as the Pofeng Army is currently locked in a standoff with the Beili Army."
"We can only ask you to take action, posing as martial arts practitioners, and go to Tianqi to rescue Hu Bufei."
Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fury: "That Xiao Ruojin! The first thing she did after ascending the throne was to frame loyal officials! I'm determined to save Hu Bufei!"
Sikong Changfeng frowned and said, "Dongjun, this matter needs to be considered carefully. Tianqi City is not like other places. The Imperial City Guard, the Shadow Sect, the Imperial Guard... and those few dead eunuchs, they are all numerous and powerful!"
If we rush there rashly, we might not only fail to rescue them but also get trapped ourselves.
“Sikong Changfeng is right.” Wen Yanzhao’s illusory figure nodded. “Therefore, we need a careful plan. My suggestion is—Dongjun, Brother Changfeng, take the two strongest brothers from Tongtian Pavilion, Luofengzhong and Luo Nianse, and travel light with the four of you. Go quickly and return quickly.”
The young lady, Luoxia, and Luohe stayed in the city to oversee the situation and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos.
Yin Luoxia pondered for a moment and said, "This arrangement is quite appropriate. However... why not let Luo He go with us? Although his martial arts are not as good as Brother Luo Fengzhong's, his swordsmanship is beginning to show promise..."
"Because the city cannot be deserted," Wen Yanzhao explained. "Snow Moon City is now the largest city in the Northern Territory, and its prominence attracts attention."
If the Great City Lord, the Third City Lord, and the Guardians all leave, and someone were to take advantage of the situation, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just then, the door to the pavilion was pushed open with a "bang".
Feng Qiuyu burst in, dressed in a pale yellow dress, but her face was somewhat pale.
She strode up to Sikong Changfeng and grabbed his ear: "You're not allowed to go! Stay home and keep an eye on things!"
This sudden action stunned everyone.
Baili Dongjun asked in confusion, "Miss Feng, what are you doing...?"
Yin Luoxia's eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something. She quietly walked to Wen Yanzhao's illusory figure and whispered:
“Young Master Wen, I’ve noticed that Sister Qiuyu has been acting strangely these past few days—she’s been having trouble eating and drinking, and she’s been nauseous in the mornings. She used to have a sweet tooth, but for the past month or so, she’s been asking me to buy her things like sour plums and green apricots…”
She paused, then lowered her voice even further: "Although I'm not married, I've heard people say... these symptoms seem like... pregnancy."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yanzhao's illusory figure's eyes flashed with realization.
He looked at Sikong Changfeng and saw that the usually composed Little Gun Immortal was now in a state of embarrassment, his ear being pulled by Feng Qiuyu, but he dared not break free.
“Little Gun Immortal,” Wen Yanzhao’s illusory figure laughed, “it seems… you really shouldn’t travel far.”
Sikong Changfeng smiled wryly: "I'm sorry to have made Young Master Wen laugh."
He gently took Feng Qiuyu's hand and said softly, "Qiuyu, let go first, let's talk about this slowly."
Feng Qiuyu's eyes reddened, she let go of his hand, but still stared at him:
"You're absolutely not allowed to go! Tianqi City is so dangerous, if you... if you..."
She couldn't continue; tears welled up in her eyes.
Baili Dongjun then realized what was happening and slapped his forehead:
"That's right! Miss Feng's symptoms... Brother Changfeng, are you going to be a father?!"
These words immediately created a subtle atmosphere in the pavilion.
Sikong Changfeng coughed lightly and put his arm around Feng Qiuyu's shoulder: "It's... the pulse I took the other day, it's been over two months. I was planning to wait until the pregnancy was stable before telling everyone, but I didn't expect..."
Yin Luoxia laughed and said, "This is a joyous occasion! No wonder Sister Qiuyu is so nervous. Third City Lord, you should indeed stay in the city and take good care of Qiuyu."
Wen Yanzhao's illusory figure nodded: "In that case, the plan needs to be changed."
Dongjun, take the brothers Luofengzhong and Luonianse to Tianqi.
Brother Changfeng staying in the city will allow him to take care of Qiuyu and also help Miss Luoxia manage the overall situation.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiuyu's expression softened slightly, and he curtsied to Wen Yanzhao's illusory figure, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Wen."
Baili Dongjun frowned: "Brother Zhao, are the three of us enough? Tianqi City is full of experts, what if..."
"Enough." Wen Yanzhao's illusory figure spoke firmly, "The brothers Luo Fengzhong and Luo Nianse, when they join forces, are invincible under the Great Freedom."
"You are now a top-ranked expert, with mastery of both swords and saber techniques. With the three of you working together, as long as you don't force your way into the palace, rescuing them shouldn't be a problem."
Moreover, I will respond remotely from Qian Dong using my divine sense. If you encounter danger, although I cannot be there in person, I can use my divine sense to interfere with your opponents and help you escape.”
These words gave Baili Dongjun confidence. He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Alright! Then I'll go prepare now and set off first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Wait a minute." Sikong Changfeng suddenly spoke, taking out a celadon medicine bottle from his bosom and handing it to Baili Dongjun. "This is the healing medicine I secretly took from my master when I returned to Medicine King Valley last time. Take it with you. If you get injured, take it immediately. As long as it's not a fatal wound, it will heal in two hours!"
Baili Dongjun took the medicine bottle and nodded emphatically: "Thank you!"
Wen Yanzhao's illusory figure gradually faded away, leaving behind a final sentence: "Remember, saving lives is the priority; do not linger in battle. After rescuing Hu Bufei, immediately evacuate Tianqi and do not stay."
The golden light dissipated, and the pavilion returned to tranquility.
Baili Dongjun gripped the medicine bottle tightly and turned to say, "Fairy Sister, please go and inform Seniors Luo Fengzhong and Luo Nianse to prepare."
"Sikong Changfeng, I'm going to teach that Xiao Ruojin a lesson. I'm leaving Snow Moon City in your hands!"
Yin Luoxia nodded: "I'll go right away." She turned and left the pavilion.
Sikong Changfeng raised an eyebrow: "Remember not to hold back, and vent your anger for my master, Xin Baicao!"
After everyone dispersed, only Baili Dongjun remained in the City Lord's Pavilion.
He walked to the window and looked at the northern horizon, which was the direction of Tianqi City.
As night deepened, the lights of Snowmoon City lit up one by one.
Meanwhile, a thousand miles away in Tieji Ridge of Qiandong City, Wen Yanzhao opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Dongjun, this round at Tianqi City... depends on you."
He stood up and looked into the depths of the cave.
Three thousand medicine practitioners stood silently like a forest, with the purple light flashing in the eyes of Xuan Yin at the forefront.
On the southwestern battlefield, the Tianqi Rebellion broke out, and two fronts advanced simultaneously.
The chess game is getting more and more exciting these days.
