Royal study room.

Emperor Changlong sat on the dragon throne, pinching his brow, his face full of worry.

Song Siyao had been leading troops on an expedition for a long time. The last time he received a message from Song Siyao was when Song Siyao decided to take a portion of the troops to Fengshadu first, while General Jiang led the main force behind. He knew nothing about what happened after that.

He didn't even know that Song Siyao had recaptured Fengshadu.

He is very worried about Song Siyao now.

If what Grand Tutor Su said is true, Song Siyao will face a desperate situation in the court.

As Su Taifu said, why did the Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife raise Song Siyao, a girl, as a boy?

He knew that the Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife had long hoped for a daughter, and now that their daughter had arrived, they had no need to hide her away.

He knew there was a secret involved, but he never doubted the loyalty of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Just as Emperor Changlong was pondering this, Grand Tutor Su entered.

"I have met the emperor."

When Emperor Changlong saw Grand Tutor Su enter, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

He really didn't want to see Grand Tutor Su right now, and his tone was very unpleasant, "I've already finished court, do you still have something to say?"

Grand Tutor Su said very seriously, “Your Majesty, I know you value talent, but the matter of Princess Ning’an is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer.”

"Wang Fu!" Emperor Changlong's tone was clearly impatient.

"Grand Tutor, please." Wang Fu walked to Grand Tutor Su's side, his tone seemingly polite but actually quite forceful.

Grand Tutor Su stood there quietly, looking at Emperor Changlong, knowing that if the stalemate continued, Emperor Changlong might really get angry.

"My minister retire."

Grand Tutor Su bowed, then turned and left.

Since Emperor Changlong was unwilling to take action, then he had no choice but to come in person.

After Grand Tutor Su left, Emperor Changlong asked Wang Fu, "Has there been any news from Princess Ning'an yet?"

"Your Majesty, no," Wang Fu replied.

"Where is Prince Ling?" Emperor Changlong asked again.

"Judging by the distance, Your Highness should have arrived at Fengsha Ferry by now," Wang Fu said.

Emperor Changlong fell silent, and Wang Fu withdrew to stand guard at the door.

Instantly, the imperial study fell silent.

Wind and Sand Crossing.

Hong Shao and the others have finished their discussion.

Two hundred thousand Yan soldiers were defeated by Song Siyao, but they still had troops left.

Now that General Chen is dead at Song Siyao's hands, Wen Tao is still in Hong Shao's hands, and most importantly, Song Siyao is dead, they have nothing to fear.

So, after Song Siyao died, the Yan soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, but after only three days, they regrouped and launched a counterattack.

"Miss Hongshao, the Yan army is attacking the city!"

Wearing armor and carrying a long sword, Hong Shao led her men to rush up the city wall.

She looked down and saw that the densely packed Yan army numbered at least 100,000, while the current soldiers at Fengshadu numbered less than 2,000, and even with the people from Tianji Pavilion, they numbered less than 10,000.

With Song Siyao absent, the few of them wanted to take this small force to fight against 100,000 Yan troops. The outcome was a foregone conclusion; they were bound to lose.

Hong Shao's heart turned cold.

However, with a formidable enemy at hand, she had no time to think.

She used all the skills she had learned from Song Siyao.

However, they were still unable to withstand the powerful offensive of the Yan army.

In less than an hour, the city gates were about to be breached.

Once the Yan army enters the city, the entire Fengshadu will be razed to the ground.

Hong Shao felt that at that time, even death would not be enough to atone for her sins.

"Red Peony, we can't hold out any longer!"

Hongshao stood on the city wall, and the soldier beside her had a sob in his voice.

"Keep holding on, even if you can't hold on! Until your last breath! No one is allowed to give up before that!"

Hong Shao's eyes were resolute, like a brave warrior facing death.

With Song Siyao gone, she followed Song Siyao's example and risked her life to protect the peace of Fengshadu.

After giving her instructions to the soldiers, she turned and went down the city wall.

Cang Yue, Jiang Hexia, Huo Ye, and the others were guarding the city gate; they were the last line of defense for Fengsha Ferry.

"Cang Yue, the final moment has arrived. Let's proceed according to plan," Hong Shao said, looking at Cang Yue.

Cang Yue's expression was resolute. "Let's do it!"

The moment their eyes met, the city gate opened from the inside, and Hongshao and Cangyue led their people out of the gate, which was then instantly closed again.

Jiang Hexia and Huo Ye continued to guard the door.

This was their first time on the battlefield, and they had no experience whatsoever. Hong Shao left them behind to protect them.

Both Hong Shao and Cang Yue were personally taught martial arts by Song Siyao, and on the battlefield, they could each take on ten opponents.

However, the Yan army was simply too large.

In less than half an hour, Hongshao and Cangyue were surrounded by the Yan army.

The two stood back to back, their eyes like knives, exuding a murderous aura.

They were just waiting for more Yan troops to surround them, then they would charge in, exhausting their last breath, and scattering their lives on this land.

"kill!"

The Yan army shouted and charged towards Hongshao and Cangyue.

Hongshao and Cangyue leaped into the air, ready to face their deaths.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from far away.

Judging from the sound, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers.

Hong Shao thought that General Jiang's reinforcements had arrived. She was overjoyed, thinking that they had finally held out until the reinforcements arrived and that Fengshadu was saved.

She turned her gaze and looked at the person in the lead, only to find that the newcomer was not General Jiang.
