Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 222: The Predecessor of Fenglou
That night on Yunzhou Island, there was a strong wind and bright lights. The Feng woman was discovered releasing prisoners of war privately. Deng Chixuan led his troops to chase her all the way and finally surrounded her at the seaside.

In order to cover the escape of the Helan clan, the women of the Feng family built a human wall with their flesh and blood to block Deng Chixuan's way.

Each of them was fearless and disregarded life and death, but Deng Chixuan was unwilling to draw his sword against them. At the last moment, he was still persuading them to stop and not make a big mistake.

"You are all members of the Queen's clan, and you are also poor people who have been persecuted by the tyrant Xia Fuchong. I will not attack you. Please get out of the way quickly. If the remnants of Helan are allowed to escape, the forces of the former dynasty will surely make a comeback, and the world will be in danger!"

Deng Chixuan was well-read, had a broad mind, and was a rare Confucian general. He did not want to embarrass Feng Jiyue's clansmen, nor did he want to disrupt the situation that had been stabilized with great difficulty. He just wanted to calm everything down as soon as possible.

But no matter how he persuaded them, the Feng family girls still refused to budge. Seeing that the Helan clan was about to flee by boat, Deng Chixuan became anxious, drew his sword, and said with a stern look:

"I'm sorry, no matter what, not a single remnant of the Helan clan can escape tonight!"

As he spoke, he and the soldiers behind him broke through the human wall. In the chaos, he still shouted orders: "Just knock them out, don't kill them!"

The women of the Feng family were soon knocked to pieces, but some of them still gritted their teeth and refused to give up. There were even a few alert ones who, after hearing Deng Chixuan's order, suddenly had an idea, deliberately aimed in a direction, straightened their chests, and rushed towards the sharp knife in Deng Chixuan's hand!

It's a pity that a generation of military generals were so powerful on the battlefield, and they could fight against the enemy with their swords without blinking an eye, but they were defeated by a group of powerless girls.

Some tried to pull his arms, some tried to hold his legs, all of them were willing to risk their lives, with stubborn eyes, they rushed straight towards the sharp knives with cold rays, with a determination to delay the pursuers and save the Helan clan even at the cost of their lives!

In the chaos, some soldiers could no longer endure it and drew their swords to chop at the women of the Feng family. "If you want to die, I'll grant your wish. You crazy women are all damned traitors!"

Seeing that the sharp blade was about to strike, Deng Chixuan's face changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to stop it: "No, don't kill them!"

He knocked the blade out of the soldier's hand and flew forward to protect the frightened Feng women whose faces turned pale. The sharp knife flew through the air and the handle was heavily inserted into the sand, with the tip of the knife pointing upwards.

When Deng Chixuan was breathing a sigh of relief, the Feng women he had just rescued suddenly reacted and rushed towards his chest, trying to pin him to the ground to buy more time for the Helan clan to escape.

Deng Chixuan was caught off guard and staggered backwards. As luck would have it, he bumped into the knife stuck in the ground. The sharp blade pierced through his chest and blood gushed out. At the last moment, he did not forget to push the girls away to avoid the blade.

The faces of the Feng girls were splattered with blood, and they were all dumbfounded. They just wanted to entangle Deng Chixuan, but they didn't expect that they would cause him to lose his life! Everything was just so wrong, and it was fate that a great general and a great contributor to the founding of Dongmu died in vain on the beach of Yunzhou Island.

Before he died, his eyes were wide open, his body was covered in blood, and he was full of unwillingness and regret. He listened to the sound of surging waves and looked at the starry sky, and he was never able to close his eyes.

"Deng Chixuan died, and the army was in chaos. Everyone was angry and wanted to severely punish the traitor. Everything was irreversible. Kuang Heng was also furious. He was not a kind-hearted person, so he immediately ordered the Feng family traitor to be burned at the stake. How could Feng Qiyun watch his people die? So everything got worse and worse, and the situation was pushed to a point of no return. The third way that Feng Jiyue had negotiated in the past, where they were separated by the sea and each was king, also turned into a bubble. The win-win situation of Dongmu and Tonglu coexisting became a delusion. You should know about the things that happened later, right?"

Feng Shuxing's words filled with sighs echoed in the secret room. Shi Xuanling did not move for a long time. Her eyes changed several times, and one hand involuntarily clenched the teacup. She suddenly felt her heart heavy, and the tea in her mouth became... bitter.

No wonder at the execution ground, Zhongli Fu advised Feng Qiyun not to be impulsive, saying that Kuang Heng must give an explanation to the people of the world and to the soldiers who had followed them through life and death. It turned out that it was not only because the Feng women let go of the royal family of the previous dynasty, but also because they also killed a founding hero and a great general with outstanding military achievements. Therefore, Kuang Heng had to deal with the Feng family members no matter what, otherwise there would be chaos in the army that would be difficult to suppress and the consequences would be disastrous!
"Feng Jiyue was not on Yunzhou Island at that time. She was in the palace preparing for the upcoming ceremony of establishing the queen. By the time she received the news and rushed back to Yunzhou Island, it was too late. Feng Qiyun led the Feng clan to completely break with the Kuang, Yue, and Zhongli families, and also prepared to leave Yunzhou Island with his clansmen to build another home."

Facing Feng Jiyue who had rushed back, Feng Qiyun was firm and unwavering, still saying that resolute sentence -

The Feng family will never be enslaved!

It is absolutely impossible for him to lead his people to submit to Kuang Heng and the new Dongmu Dynasty!

Feng Qiyun was just forcing Feng Jiuyue to make the final decision. Did she want to stay with Kuang Heng and continue to be his bride, the queen of Dongmu's new dynasty, or did she want to choose to stand with her brother and stand together with the Feng family?

"So, Senior Feng Jiyue back then finally chose to stand on...Kuang Heng's side? Because she obviously did not follow Feng Qiyun to leave Yunzhou Island, but I think there must be another hidden story, right?"

Judging from the current results, Feng Jiyue obviously did not leave with the Feng clan hundreds of years ago, because there is no record of her in the clan. Now the Feng descendants in the Qingli Mountains have no idea of ​​her existence. However, Feng Jiyue is definitely not a person who is greedy for power and ignores her relatives. Therefore, there must be other hidden stories. The truth is probably not that simple.

Shi Xuanling held her breath and looked at Feng Shuxing nervously, eager to find an answer from hundreds of years ago.

Sure enough, Feng Shuxing looked straight into her eyes, suppressed his smile, and said word by word:
"Yes, hundreds of years ago, Feng Jiyue did not follow Feng Qiyun to leave Yunzhou Island, but she did not choose Kuang Heng, nor for the position of queen. Instead, she wanted to protect the people who stayed on the island, to prevent Kuang Heng from killing them all, and to preserve the last spark of the Feng family. She had to part ways with her brother and had to... embark on another path alone."

“So, Fenglou was born.”
