Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 172 Where is she?
Western territory, Rongzhou.

A battle was fought for three days and three nights. The battlefield echoed with the cries of the two armies fighting, and the mountains and rivers shook.The red-eyed Chu army mechanically held up their spears, knives and halberds, stepped on the corpses under their feet, and slashed at one Xiliang army after another.There were endless screams.Corpses were strewn across the field for hundreds of miles around, blood flowed like rivers, and the smell of blood filled the air, shrouding the entire Rongzhou City in fear of death.

Mo Zhanhua was wearing a purple-gold dragon armor, riding a fire dragon horse to the forefront, pointing at the sword, blood stained the sky.

The Xiliang army is in defeat.

Three days ago, they were still waiting for the arrival of reinforcements to take down Rongzhou in one fell swoop.Unexpectedly, Mo Zhanhua suddenly led troops to attack, and led troops into their queue at an unimaginable speed, destroying their lineup, making them unable to gather strength, and thus dividing their team bit by bit ,collapse.

"Come on, drive the Xiliang army out of the land of Great Chu!" Seeing that the defeat of the Xiliang army was certain, the morale of the Chu army rose even higher.

Wherever he went, Changhong was stained with blood.

There was another shocking fight, and the flag embroidered with Marquis Xia finally fell down. The tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were dying saw the flag fall, put down their weapons and surrendered.

Mo Zhan Huale reined in his horse, looking at the wilderness under his feet full of corpses.

On the Qinglong Yanyue Knife hanging by his side, blood dripped down, reflecting the setting sun behind him like blood.

"Report to my lord, Xia Houyu's body has been found." Zhanying rode up and stepped forward, holding a bloody head in his hand, it was Xiahouyu, a general from Xiliang.

Mo Zhanhua glanced at that head.

It can be seen that Xia Houyu was extremely unwilling to die, his head was cut off, his eyes were still wide open, and his appearance was very frightening.If it weren't for these soldiers who have fought in the battlefield all year round and are used to the smell of blood, anyone who saw such a bloody head would be scared out of their wits.

"It's just their own masters, so send someone to send them back." Mo Zhanhua said in a deep voice, lightly tugging at the rein of the horse, and walked to the rear.

"Yes, my lord." Zhan Ying said.

After returning from the battlefield, Mo Zhanhua only had time to change out his battle armor before receiving a letter from his subordinates.

"My lord, there's news from Beijing that Xiang Feng's family has been dispatched to Lingnan." The subordinate said.

Lingnan is in the southeast of Chu State.In recent years, in order to prevent the invasion of powerful enemies, the emperor ordered to build defense projects in the mountains, which required a lot of labor.Nowadays, those who commit major crimes and are sentenced to be sent to the frontier are basically sent here.

It's just that the distance to the south of the Five Ridges is far away, and the climate is harsh. Young people who walk there from the middle of the capital will almost die, not to mention the frail Feng Xiang.

"Pass a letter to Feng Qi, asking him to lead a team of people along the way to protect Prime Minister Feng and his family. If there is an accident, no matter the cost, even if it is a prisoner escort, we must ensure that they arrive safely!"

"Yes." The subordinate led the order and went out.

Mo Zhanhua sat in front of the desk, looking through the door with deep eyes at the trees not far away.

With Gu Changci's ability, it is impossible to just change the beheading into exile, so the only possibility is that the Feng family was charged with other crimes.

What could it be?

Suddenly remembered the sunset bow that Feng Qingyao took away.

Could it be that Feng Lan's rescue of people in the northern border was exposed?
If this is the case, exile can be regarded as the emperor's mercy.

There are many contents in the letter, but there is no mention of that woman. Could it be that after Cong Rongzhou left, she has been wandering outside and did not return to the Imperial Capital?
