"Sister Tian, how long have I been asleep here ?" Asked Huang Xinxin.

"It's been quite a while, maybe about 3 hours or maybe 4 hours. Sleep again, we will continue the journey after you feel better. " Answer Tian Li.

Huang Xinxin's face instantly changed when she heard the clock, she did not expect that she had been asleep for so long.

"Sister Tian, the journey just continued. I think it is an urgent situation and it is not good to postpone the trip. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"But, can your body hold it ? You have a fever and at this point the snow is falling. " Tian Li replied with worry.

"Sister Tian take it easy, I understand my own body the most. Please ask the other brother to be ready. " Huang Xinxin said and forcefully stood up.

Tian Li had not expected that even with such a hot body temperature still did not prevent him from going towards the Capital.

It seemed that the circumstances this time were really urgent until Huang Xinxin did not delay the slightest bit of time even if it was for his own health.

On the other hand, Ming Yue and Yue Zhang themselves had already saved their food it was not until 8 days had already made them suffer.

Today was the fourth day and the soldiers were only allowed to eat twice, even with a very limited amount.

Ming Yue returned with a hand that was severely injured due to the enemy's attack.

"Give this food to Soldiers who have not eaten. " Said Ming Yue.

"You are currently in recovery, if you only eat once a day, can you fight ?!" Yue Zhang asked with emotion.

"What has this body of you ? I know the condition of my body best, do not delay giving it to others. I'm not hungry at this point. " Reply Ming Yue.

He chose to eat once a day instead of seeing his soldiers starving and having to fight against the enemy.

"General ! The letter you sent to the Emperor has already gotten a reply !" Shouted one of the Soldiers and gave the paper scroll.

Ming Yue directly took the letter and felt that her heart was pounding violently, their living dead troops would rely on this letter.

As he read the letter, his heart stopped beating for a moment and could not believe it for a moment.

...'I understand with your difficulties it is just that at this time in the Palace it is difficult to meet the food, food and warm clothes just sent to the other two generals who are more in need. Hang on for two days, Your Majesty will try. '...

Ming Yue could not believe what she had read, Yue Zhang snatched the paper and read the scroll on it.

"Does he think our whole lives don't matter ?! Two days ? Let alone two days, even to get through this day alone is difficult. " Say Yue Zhang said angrily.

"We have to send another letter, we can't survive. " Say the soldier who delivered the letter anxiously.

"Free, the Emperor has said so then he will not help. The target is me, you go look at my residence and see what can be sold, all sold and converted into food. " Said Ming Yue.

Ming Yue who heard this seemed speechless, she recalled the oath taught by her Father that they would serve the Emperor wholeheartedly. Especially when the Emperor at that time was the only person accompanying him playing in the Palace when everyone avoided him for fear of contracting the aura of death.

"Forget it, I've been storing this old stuff for a long time and it's no longer useful. Just sell it, it might be able to earn several tens of thousands of Gold. " Say Ming Yue pulled the pendant tied to her sword and gave it to Ming Yue.

"This is only the only relic from General Lei left, you want to sell it ?" Yue Zhang asked in disbelief.

"Then, what can I do ? Rebelling against the Emperor then everyone who follows me will be put to death along with me ? It was just an old thing that had no important value, memories would not be able to be stored inside an object. " Answer Ming Yue turned her face away.

"Well, well, since you are so determined then I will do what you want !" Reply Yue Zhang came out of the tent.

The Emperor's cruelty was completely out of control, Ming Yue closed his eyes and hugged his sword.

He had not slept for some time and when he wanted to sleep he could not sleep.

Just closing his eyes, there came the sound of war trumpets ringing again.

The battle this time was led by Xing Fenghuang, the older brother of Xing Yunlai. Ming Yue opened her eyes and drew her murderous sword to look at the enemy that was starting to attack again.

Ming Yue led the war and faced off against Xing Fenghuang who was holding a huge machete of hers.

Xing Fenghuang had a much larger body but ability was not necessarily equivalent.

"Just be free, there will be no help coming. You central plains are hypocrites, saying that you are good friends but you intend to kill. " Say Xing Fenghuang said in a different dialect.

"Munafic or not is none of your bar tribe's business, how do you know if there's any help or not ? Is our entire Palace within your grasp ?" Ask Ming Yue.

"It turns out, the person who is going to die alone has a lot of words. " Answer Xing Fenghuang.

"Then, don't lose, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the shame of defeat after bragging here. " Reply Ming Yue.

Xing Fenghuang felt angry and attacked Ming Yue, Ming Yue advanced forward and held down Xing Fenghuang's large machete with her sword.

The sound of iron friction was heard even to the point of letting out sparks, the soldiers also did not stay still and fight to defend their homeland.

Their soldiers indirectly lose because of physicality and energy but usually win because of numbers and food.

But, at this moment they were second to none and their troops were quickly slaughtered by the bar men.

Ming Yue saw the warrior who grew up together with her slowly falling land under the enemy's weapons making her feel angry.

Ming Yue shifted her body and scratched Xing Fenghuang's stomach with her sword and saw that Xing Fenghuang lost her balance.

Xing Fenghuang swung her sword past Ming Yue's head but Ming Yue lowered her head so that the sword passed her head.
