Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 249 Something happened to A Yue?
At the age of nine, she returned to the Shi family, recognized her ancestors, and became the third Miss Shi, who was trapped in the attic and lost her freedom. At that time, Shi Xuanling escaped many times, but even when she was the saddest and hated the Shi family the most, she never doubted her life experience, and never thought that she was not her father's biological daughter.

"After all, I look quite like my father, but he frowns too much and is a stubborn, old-fashioned man. I didn't like him when I was little and blamed him for always locking me up. But later I realized that he was trying to protect me. He and my mother were afraid that I would meet that fate and wanted me to be an ordinary lady from an official family. He also said that he was willing to fulfill any of my wishes and would wait for me at home. I know that he obviously... obviously loves me, so how could he not be my biological father? How could that be?"

Shi Xuanling became more and more confused as she spoke, and her eyes gradually became moist. You Ming could clearly see that she was not in a good mood, so he quickly held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, little Lingling, maybe Master is just trying to save your father with this excuse, just as Pei Shixi said?"

After all, that day in the Qingli Mountains, when Pei Shixi stepped forward to interrogate the clan leader Qi Yuan and asked him to give a definite answer, the clan leader hesitated. He neither changed his words nor admitted what he had said before. He just pointed at Shi Zhongqing who was trapped in the formation and persuaded Pei Shixi and others again:

"No matter whether he is Xiao Lingdang's biological father or not, you shouldn't act like this. Fire Phoenix King is above, be merciful and save the world. Do you want to go against the clan's principles? Don't make the same mistake again. Let him go quickly and turn back!"

The Restorationists, led by Pei Shixi, of course, would not listen. Instead, Shi Zhongqing, who was trapped in the formation, shouted, "Xiao Lingdang is my biological daughter. She is the blood of my Shi family. She has long recognized her ancestors. If you want to hurt her, I, Shi Zhongqing, will not let you go even if I become a ghost! Where did you hide her? What happened to my daughter? Where is she now?"

At that time, Shi Zhongqing was seriously injured when he was fighting against eight people alone, but he still shouted with full strength. The huge rocks in the formation were shattered by his internal force. He was actually affected by the smoke in the formation at that time, and his whole consciousness was blurred, but even in the case of confusion, he still shouted firmly:

"Give my daughter back to me and hand over Little Bell. No matter what you do, don't hurt her in the slightest. Everything should be directed at me. I am willing to exchange my life for my daughter!"

Now recalling Shi Zhongqing's appearance that day, You Ming couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "When he was in the smoke and unconscious, he insisted that you were his daughter and was willing to take his own life to protect you. It shows how much he cares about you, his daughter. Pei Shixi laughed at that time and said that if such a deep love for his child is not your biological father, then who else in the world is worthy of being your biological father?"

The room was filled with warm smoke, and the faint fragrance of winter plum blossoms outside the window drifted in with the wind. As the curtains fluttered, Shi Xuanling, who was sitting on the bed, had already burst into tears. She suddenly clenched her hands and gritted her teeth and said:
"I want to save my father. I will never sacrifice him and use his life to activate the Ghost Blood Formation!"

You Ming was shocked when he heard this, and quickly held down Shi Xuanling again: "Don't be impulsive, Xiao Lingling, your father is safe now. If you really go there, you will walk into a trap and kill him!"

As long as Shi Xuanling is not found, the Restoration Faction will not be able to touch Shi Zhongqing. What's more, the clan leader Qi Yuan has always refused to reveal the specific method of activating the Fengling Blood Array, so Pei Shixi can only lock them up for the time being.

"Your father is now imprisoned in the mountains. At most, he will suffer some physical pain, but you don't have to worry about his life for the time being. He is the key to unlocking the Fengling Blood Formation. Pei Shixi values ​​him more than his own eyes. Xiao Lingling, you can rest assured for the time being. We have to make long-term plans to save him!"

Not only was Shi Zhongqing to be rescued, but also the old clan leader and the group of Shouqing faction that followed him, and even included... the Restoration faction headed by Pei Shixi, who was getting deeper and deeper into trouble, doing crazy things like courting disaster and throwing themselves into a flame.

"Whether the Guardian or Restoration faction, they are all our compatriots, and all the descendants of the Feng family who remain in this world. Little Bell, do you still remember what you said?"

A blazing fire ignited in You Ming's eyes, and Shi Xuanling was also excited. He immediately nodded and said firmly word by word:
"Of course I remember. I said that I would protect my people and lead them across the sea back home, back to Yunzhou Island, back to their former hometown, so that the Feng family can regain their status and see the light of day again!"

"Very good, Xiao Lingdang. Although the world is in chaos and war is raging everywhere, this crisis may also be an opportunity for us, because the real ruler of Dongmu is the third prince."

The Chi Nu tribe was pressing forward step by step, and the Youzhou rebels were coming fiercely. The Dongmu Dynasty was in danger in the storm. Under such internal and external troubles, Emperor Yun fell ill. What really made him angry was not only the current severe situation, but also the fact that there were no generals available in the court, because he had killed Lord Yue with his own hands!

Yes, today's Dongmu has lost its former glory. The defenders are like a pile of loose sand. Facing the enemy's attack, they are defeated and disintegrated. Under the full firepower of the Youzhou small court, Dongmu has lost many cities in succession!
The only general that Emperor Yun can rely on now is Wen Yanru, but he cannot spare time to come to help because he has to guard Yunzhou Island. Otherwise, once this pass is broken, more Red Slave troops will march straight in and break through the gates of Dongmu Country!

There are wolves in front and tigers behind. However, Dongmu’s generals have fallen, talents are scarce, the country is crumbling, and the government and the people have begun to complain. The people privately said that the last thing they should do is to kill Lord Yue and disband the Yue Army. If Lord Yue was still alive, he would lead the Yue Army to fight bravely, repel the enemy, guard the country's borders, and bring peace to the people of Dongmu!
The rumors in the streets could not be suppressed or concealed. Emperor Yun fell completely ill after learning about it. Perhaps he was angry about these words, or perhaps he felt guilty. When the night was quiet, perhaps he was regretting killing his former good brother?
In short, Emperor Yun was seriously ill and could not afford to be without a ruler for a day, so the former third prince, now the new crown prince Kuang Lianya, was pushed up at this critical moment to take charge of the government and exercise the power of regent, showing the majesty of a new ruler.

"The twelfth prince's third brother is indeed quite capable. After Emperor Yun fell ill, he took over all affairs and turned the tide when the country was in danger. He even won by strategy, causing Pei Shixi's Tonglu court to suffer several setbacks. I once said that the third prince was more suitable to be the emperor than the weak and inexperienced twelfth prince. Now it seems that my original statement has been confirmed. It's a pity that they have a deep brotherly love, but now they have to fight each other to the death..."

At that time, the Third Prince went to the Cold Palace to visit the Twelfth Prince at night. He held the Twelfth Prince's hand tightly and made a solemn promise to him:

"Third brother will protect you for the rest of your life. If I become the emperor in the future, I will never allow the Wei family to harm you and your mother. No matter what situation you are in, you will always be my dearest twelfth brother. Third brother keeps his word and I will never abandon you!"

It's ironic that the two brothers probably couldn't have imagined such an absurd situation in their dreams, let alone wanted to see it. One of them was pushed to the position of regent in the war, worried day and night, while the other was taken to Youzhou by the restoration faction and became the puppet emperor of the so-called Tonglu Kingdom. He was also worried and sleepless every day.

The ruthless fate has pushed them to opposing positions. It is so cruel. Does the once sincere oath still count?
Thinking of this, You Ming sighed, but Shi Xuanling was thinking quickly and said calmly in his ear: "Uncle Master, the opportunity you mentioned is probably right in front of us. Just as you said that day, the Third Prince will not be our enemy. On the contrary, he may lend us a helping hand. I also think so. So, we have a way to go now."

You Ming raised his head and looked at Shi Xuanling steadily. He knew that this child was smart and clever, and would understand things at a glance. Sure enough, Shi Xuanling looked straight into his eyes and uttered ten words with a firm look -

“Negotiation, alliance, mutual assistance, and self-help are also ways to save yourself.”

The blood in his chest was boiling, You Ming was breathing rapidly, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Let's take the red book and the iron certificate to find the third prince. Our common enemy is actually the Chinu tribe. Pei Shixi is courting disaster and will only cause the Feng family to fall into Xi Yuehan's clutches. His so-called Tonglu Kingdom will definitely be swallowed up by the Chinu people and replaced in the future. No matter what, we must stop the Chinu tribe..."

Before You Ming finished his anxious words, a figure stepped into the hall anxiously and shouted from a distance:

"Mr. You Ming, have you developed an elixir that can cure the blue flame poison? Xuan Yu was trapped in the Shura formation before, and he finally broke out, but he was poisoned by the blue flame. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer!"

Shi Xuanling was naturally very familiar with this voice. She shuddered and looked up to see Princess Fengzhou's anxious face. When their eyes met, they spoke almost at the same time -

"Little Bell, are you awake?!"

"Is Ah Yue in trouble?"
