Xuan Tianfeng thought, he used this method to try and preserve Noble Lady Li’s life, but he did not know if his mother would appreciate it or not. If she did not appreciate it, then just hate him! Either way, it was good as long as she could live. And once she left this Jing Ci Palace, he could not guarantee if Noble Lady Li would cause some trouble again, once she followed the path of Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui in the past, she would not even dare to think of the consequences.
Walking further away from Jing Ci Palace step by step, it was as if he could still hear the angry shouts of Noble Lady Li behind him. Xuan Tianfeng’s nose prickled a little, ever since he was young, other people would laugh and say that he had shallow eye sockets, always prone to crying for a boy. After he grew up, he got rid of this bad habit, but today, he found it rather hard to hold in!

In the end, when a long sigh from him turned into the shape of tears in his eyes, a hidden guard appeared with a flash, standing at his side, saying in a deep voice: “Master, news came from the eastern border, His Highness the Seventh Prince is advancing the army quickly, the 500,000 strong army actually completed almost half the journey in less than 20 days, they might just reach Fu province in less than a month.”
“Oh?” Xuan Tianfeng forcefully withdrew his thoughts from Jing Ci Palace, his brows furrowing deeply, thinking about the words from this hidden guard. Completing almost half the journey in 20 days? What kind of speed was this? It was almost the speed of a single person on horse. But that was a 500,000-person army! Even if they took shortcuts and traversed over mountains, shortening the journey by so many days was pushing too hard, what was this Old Seventh doing?
“Master, it seems like His Highness the Seventh Prince has intentions of preventing His Highness the Ninth Prince from catching up, the route he took was different from what was originally discussed.” The hidden guard said this again, then fell silent.
Xuan Tianfeng waved his hand to order the hidden guard to leave, but endless worry rose in his heart. Old Seventh was intentionally preventing Old Ninth from catching up? He even changed route? What was this Old Seventh planning to do?
He had a bad feeling, this feeling did not stem from suspicion against the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua, no one would suspect the Seventh Prince, Xuan Tianfeng only thought of a scary reason, using a life to exchange for a life!
Old Seventh would never do things without a purpose, since he took this action, he definitely had a certain level of understanding and control over this action. If Xuan Tianhua calculated that the battle in Zong Sui was dangerous, replacing Old Ninth in taking this journey, then could he still preserve his life?
Xuan Tianfeng flicked his sleeves harshly, he was not angry at his two younger brothers who had close bonds, he was angry at himself for only being knowledgeable in civil affairs, but was so much worse than his two younger brothers in military accomplishments. To the point that at this time, he could only attend to court, with no ability to go the battlefield with them to advance and retreat together.
Five days later, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng reached the intersection between the eastern border and the capital. It would be separation here, to the east was the direction towards Fu Province, and south, was Da Shun’s capital.
Bai Ze took Wang Chuan and Huang Quan and travelled some distance away towards the north, making an effort to give the two who were about to separate some time to say their goodbyes. To this, Feng Yuheng gave some praise, expressing: “He is rather considerate.”
The two sat in the imperial carriage, no one moving, the atmosphere was a little oppressive. Half a beat later, Xuan Tianming said: “Go back to the capital using the imperial carriage, Bai Ze and I are heading to the east, it will be faster on horse.”
Feng Yuheng ignored him, only digging things out of her sleeve in a self-absorbed manner. Anti-inflammatory medicine, painkillers, hemostatic drugs, hardtack, mineral water, canned food, medicinal bandages, small tools and things like this. In addition, she took out that gun which Xuan Tianming stored inside her Space, including many bullets, even assigning a good gun to Bai Ze.
She told Xuan Tianming: “I will still say that sentence, preserving your life is the most important thing, in the face of staying alive, no other reason can be exchanged for that. Honestly, this battle in Zong Sui has caused me to feel unease for the first time, even if I give you more weapons, I still feel uneasy. Therefore, Xuan Tianming, you better keep your life, once there is danger, you need to suppress your heart who wants to preserve lives, just use the mines and explode everything! Even if you have to flatten Zong Sui, you need to come back to me unharmed, understand?”
She said this very seriously, with that small expression of hers, it was as if she had already arrived onto Zong Sui’s battlefield herself and had seen the land flowing with blood and the skies covered in smoke, as if she was already holding the mine and blowing up everything, exploding Zong Sui until there was no inch of living land left.
Xuan Tianming felt that this girl was a little too nervous, it was a fact that the battle of Zong Sui was not easy, being the strongest nation amongst the four subordinate nations, having the largest population and possessing refined steel, with Zong Sui and Da Shun fighting each other, both sides would definitely have a hard time. Of course, Da Shun would definitely win in the end, and with Da Shun attacking proactively, declaring war on the other party’s land, they could win without hurting their nation’s foundations too much. But everyone understood, with Zong Sui’s new Emperor ascending the throne and turning against the main nation Da Shun so quickly, if he did not have any backing, how could he dare to do so? Was this backing only Duanmu Anguo? That might not be the case.
But even so, it would not be as bad as what Feng Yuheng worried about, that he would be in life threatening danger, right?

Xuan Tianming looked at his young wife in front of him, thinking for a while, then decided to pick up that gun, pulling Feng Yuheng out of the carriage with him. Looking up, there was a goshawk soaring in the sky.
He pointed the gun upwards, not taking much effort to aim, but hearing the sound of a “bang”, that goshawk fell on the ground with one shot, the bullet lodged in its head.
“Look, my shooting skills are accurate! How can the people of Zong Sui approach me.” He sounded confident, with this kind of weapon in his hands, no matter what, he would not fight that hard in this battle, right?”
Feng Yuheng saw that his shooting skills were divine and breathed a sigh of relief, but that worry in her heart did not settle down at all, becoming worse instead. She suddenly hugged Xuan Tianming, saying in a frantic tone: “Xuan Tianming, I am regretting it, bring me together with you to Zong Sui! With this, regardless of any danger encountered, I can immediately bring you into the Space and preserve your life!” She raised her head and looked at the face which enchanted her at first sight and that purple lotus on his forehead which bloomed even more beautifully over the years, pleading constantly: “Bring me along, okay?”
Xuan Tianming patted her head gently, reassuring her in a soft voice: “I cannot just care about my own life and death, there are still so many brothers! In addition, there is Seventh Brother. Heng Heng, do not worry, I will definitely return alive, we still have to have children together! You agreed to bear children for me, have you forgotten?”
Feng Yuheng let him go, pushing him away with some force: “Go, just go! I know that it is impossible for you to bring me along, and it’s not like I can really abandon the mess that is the capital and not care about it. You had me protect Da Shun in your place from the capital, I will just go back and protect it.” She thought of that person whom she saw from on top of that gate tower, one of them was Bu Cong, she was very sure of this, there was also a woman, and she would still panic thinking about it now. But she did not want to tell Xuan Tianming this at this time, giving him worries when he was travelling to the eastern border. Either way, if there was any danger, she would just get rid of it, it was not as if she had never faced that Bu Cong in the past. “Either way, this is the last time, we will leave after this battle is over.” She said stubbornly, “If you’re still unwilling to leave, I will put you into my Space and bring you to where I want to go.”
“Alright!’ Xuan Tianming smiled, reached up to stroke her face, “My Heng Heng is the most amazing person, and no one is your match, not even me. Obediently wait for me to obtain victory and return, our good days are still to come!”
She nodded, not saying anything else, only returning to the imperial carriage and stuffing many things inside, there was food as well as medicine, stuffing this imperial carriage to its fullest, that was when she felt a little more relieved.
The two finally separated, Xuan Tianming travelled on horse, Bai Ze sat in front of the imperial carriage, in charge of driving it. The imperial carriage could not move as fast as a person on a horse, and Xuan Tianming had to slow down a little to wait for him. Bai Ze said with a smile: “Master! Our Princess must be a female deity!” He looked back into the imperial carriage as he said this, thinking in his heart that he went off for a short while, but a whole carriage of things appeared in a blink of an eye. If the Princess was not a female deity, the origin of these items could not be explained at all.
Xuan Tianming did not avoid the topic at all, he told Bai Ze: “That’s right, she is a female deity. What? Your Master married a female deity as a wife, you’re not happy about it?”
“How can I not be happy!” Bai Ze quickly said: “This Subordinate does not even have time to express happiness. Everyone says that His Highness the Seventh Prince is a deity, but he only has the appearance of one, hm...... his personality as well. But our Princess is a true female deity, she has spells, for Master to marry a Princess like this, isn’t this living a heavenly-like life with a female deity? We just do not know if the deity knows the spell of immortality?”
Xuan Tianming glared at him, not answering this question. In reality, he was considering Bai Ze’s thoughts, that Heavenly Space belonging to his wife was so mysterious, it had so much good medicine inside, could it have the elixir of life which granted immortality?
“Master!” Bai Ze’s voice was heard again, containing great excitement, “When This Subordinate gets married, can Princess also gift some things used by female deities? For example, those things which are used in our Palace, known as...... soap, shampoo, toothpaste and things like that. This Subordinate has gotten used to using them in the Palace, when I leave in the future, it will be troublesome without those things!”
Xuan Tianming laughed out loud, “Bai Ze! After fighting this last battle, This Prince will leave Da Shun’s capital, going to spend leisurely days with your Princess. Do you want to spend the days with your wife in your new house, or are you willing to continue following This Prince?”
Bai Ze was stunned, asking: “Master wants to go west?”
“For such a good place, why would This Prince not go?”
“But......” But he wanted to follow his Master, also wanting to go to west, that was the best place he had ever since in his life. In the past, the Third Prince Xuan Tianye tried to dip his fingers into it, if his Master did not go there in time, that place might have been harmed by that Third Prince. But he also wanted to live good days together with his wife in the new house...... bring this wife to the west as well? No, no, his wife still had her father, Craftsman Bai was old, he would not be able to withstand such a long journey.
“You can just stay behind!” Not waiting for Bai Ze to choose, Xuan Tianming spoke first to make arrangements for him, “Protect Da Shun for This Prince, assist His Highness the Sixth Prince properly, This Prince will leave the military rights of the western border to you, so you can carry out your private interests under the guise of serving the public, bringing your wife to that territory every year and staying there for a while!”
