Chapter 801 No Regrets Even in Death (Second Update)
Princess Qinyang was taken aback, never expecting that Xun Cheng would suddenly mention her.

Feng Cheng reacted quickly, clapping his hands abruptly, "Look at me! I almost forgot about that!"

The others exchanged glances, and one of them couldn't help but say, "General, the princess has been in the capital for a long time, I'm afraid..."

"What's there to be afraid of!" Feng Cheng interrupted. "They say a tiger father begets no dog daughter! The Prince of Yannan is currently embroiled in many matters, and having Qinyang around is a great help to us! Don't forget, Qinyang was personally raised by the Prince of Yannan! What hasn't she seen?"

Everyone else said that Princess Qinyang was arrogant and willful, but Feng Cheng knew that she had been by the side of Prince Yannan since she was a child and had learned a lot of martial arts.

The Prince of Yannan only had this one precious daughter, whom he usually doted on, but when it came to disciplining her, he was serious and showed no mercy.

Feng Chengxin passed.

As he spoke, he beckoned to Princess Qinyang, "Qinyang, Young Master Xun, come and see! The Southern Hu suffered a great loss this time, what will they do next?"

Qinyang looked at the familiar sand table; she recognized every mountain and river on it.

She was indeed much more familiar with this place than with the capital.

"By the way, what exactly happened in the Battle of Pingshui Bay?" Princess Qinyang asked curiously. "I initially thought it was Uncle Feng's doing, but I never imagined it was you who was guarding Duzhou. Then—"

Feng Cheng was taken aback.

Judging from Princess Qinyang's words, she clearly already knew what had happened here before she came.

In such a short time, even many people in the city were unaware of the specific situation, yet she, coming from the capital, knew so much...

Feng Cheng subconsciously looked at Xun Cheng, only to be met with a pair of smiling, warm faces.

really……

Xun Cheng is indeed quite resourceful; he even managed to find out these things.

But clearly, he didn't hide it from Qinyang.

Feng Cheng felt relieved and laughed heartily, "Come! Let me tell you!"

He then recounted in detail what had recently happened.

Princess Qinyang's eyes grew brighter as she listened.

By the end, she could no longer contain her excitement, "Who is so powerful? Could it be—"

Feng Cheng gave her a look and shook his head slightly.

Princess Qinyang understood immediately and swallowed the rest of her words, though her heart was still pounding.

—Besides Ye Yunfeng, she couldn't think of any other possibility!
He might still be alive!

Princess Qinyang couldn't wait to send this good news back to the capital and tell Ye Chutang in person!
But she still held back.

Without seeing the person, nothing can be certain.

However, she was in a very good mood and said repeatedly, "The Southern Hu have suffered heavy losses. Even if they want to do something in the future, they will have to think twice. Their idea of ​​taking advantage of the rebellion and my father's inability to attend to matters to launch a large-scale invasion is nothing but a dream!"

Feng Cheng replied, "Not necessarily. Tuoba Shan was originally a very cautious person. If Tuoba Yu hadn't died and Shui Xingqiu hadn't instigated him, he would never have acted this way. This time they suffered huge losses, so perhaps... it might provoke them to go all out, who knows?"

"will not."

Xun Cheng suddenly spoke, his tone calm yet resolute.

Everyone looked at him, their faces full of confusion.

Feng Cheng asked in confusion, "Why do you say that, Young Master Xun?"

Xun Cheng smiled and said, "Shui Xingqiu is indeed quite capable, but Tuoba Shan is no fool who has managed to sit on the throne. There's no third time's the charm. It's impossible for Shui Xingqiu to escape punishment this time. Many of the generals who died in the Southern Hu battle came from noble families. If their families unite, it's not impossible for them to bring down the Shui family."

“This… what Young Master Xun said makes sense. However, it is rumored that Shui Xingqiu is highly trusted by Tuoba Shan, and is eloquent and skilled in Gu poison. He is very wicked!” a soldier said indignantly.

Feng Cheng observed Xun Cheng's expression, but a hint of hesitation arose in his heart.

"...Young Master Xun, have you found out something?" He had no doubt about Xun Cheng's abilities, even though he was still in a wheelchair.

Xun Cheng pondered for a moment, then his gaze fell on the sand table again.

"General Feng's defenses are excellent, so there's no need to worry too much about anything else. The Southern Hu should still be causing trouble, so just wait patiently."

Hearing him say that, Feng Cheng felt much more at ease.

He nodded. "That's fine. I was planning to take this time to rest and recuperate anyway."

The two sides had previously clashed, and this side had suffered countless casualties.

As he spoke, he looked at Princess Qinyang.

"By the way, you came from the capital. Have you heard any rumors about the rebels along the way? I heard that there's also something about the former crown prince."

Princess Qinyang shrugged. "They are indeed using that as a pretext, but the imperial family of the previous dynasty was depleted, and some of them died out when the country fell. If there really was such a hidden gem, why would she only appear today? It's really unbelievable. However..."

She frowned slightly. "To be able to gather so many people to start an uprising in such a short time, it seems that it was premeditated. They hid it very well in the past few years, and no one ever found out about it."

Rebellion also requires resources.

Money, troops, provisions, weapons... which of these can ordinary people raise?

Feng Cheng nodded in agreement, but he had more important things to do right now.

"Qinyang, you've come at the right time. I'm short-handed right now. You're familiar with the terrain here and have dealt with the Southern Hu people before. Would you be willing to lead troops?"

Princess Qinyang's eyes lit up; this was the real purpose of her trip!
"I will obey the general's orders!"

……

The capital city, the residence of the Marquis of Dingbei.

Uncle Di sat alone in the room, listlessly reading a book.

But after a long time, he didn't turn the page, as if he was lost in thought.

squeak-

The door was pushed open, and he immediately snapped out of his daze and looked up.

Upon seeing the visitor, he showed no surprise, simply smiling and greeting him, "Young Master, what brings you here today?"

Although he lived in the Dingbei Marquis's residence, he did not see Shen Yanchuan often, and most of the time he was looked after by the Black Cavalry Guards.

Shen Yanchuan closed the door behind him, but did not go forward. He just stood there and looked over calmly.

"I heard from Su Mu that your health has improved a lot."

"Yes." Uncle Di nodded frankly. "I even went out for a stroll several times. I have to thank the young master and Miss Ye for that."

He paused, then asked, "How is Miss Ye?"

He had also heard the news of Ye Yunfeng's death in battle.

I wanted to say hello, but after thinking it over, I decided to give up.

"She said, 'Generals die in a hundred battles, and brave soldiers return after ten years.' She had thought about these things since the day Ye Yunfeng joined the army to guard the border."

Shen Yanchuan said,

"It wasn't just him; countless soldiers on the battlefield followed one after another to protect their country, and they had no regrets even in death."

Uncle Di was startled, and for some unknown reason, a hint of indescribable melancholy flashed across his face.

"……Yeah……"
