In the distance, Jida saw the War God King ride away. He didn't know if he had seen him bow in greeting, and he didn't know if he had heard what he had said. The Iron Guard followed the War God King like a gale of wind. In an instant, they disappeared from his line of sight.

In the darkness of the night, an eye-catching signal flare bloomed in the night sky.

Yun Zihuang released the signal detonator and stared into the distance. That was the direction where Feng Qingxiao might break out of the siege. She was waiting for him to release the signal detonator. Before he left, he left behind some things for him, such as signal detonators and usage rules, the concentration of high-energy food, medicines, and so on. He also arranged for a few places to meet up.

Right now, she was releasing a signal flare that indicated the approximate location of her current location. After the opponent sees it, they can release the appropriate signal detonator and specify a location to meet up.

The final victory was bountiful and she received more materials than she expected. After two days of marching, she would release a signal detonator every night in hopes of contacting Feng Qingxiao. This was the third night.

Soon, a signal flare rose into the night sky from far away.

"It's him! It's him!"

She cried out in surprise and jubilation. She finally got news of him!

Even though he had heard some information from the captive general, the captive general did not know whether or not the War God King had broken out of his siege. He only knew about the matters of the Blazing Flame Valley. From this simple piece of information, she was able to deduce that Flame Valley was one of Feng Qingxiao's moves, and the most important one at that. With the Battle God King's ability to grasp the timing, he would definitely take the opportunity to sneak into the northern barbarians and escape out of Black Bear Valley in the chaos.

She told the Iron Guard that her lord had broken out of his siege in order to boost the morale of the troops. This was also her conclusion.

Indeed, Feng Qingxiao did not disappoint her, he had really stepped out of Black Bear Gap!

"My Lord!"

The Iron Guards also knew that this signal flare meant that their master was safe and sound, already outside the Black Bear Valley.

She immediately released another signal flare, pointed it to the rendezvous point, and ordered them to set off.

Hundreds of people passed by like a gust of wind in the night, heading straight for the rendezvous point. Right now, the attention of the great army was still focused on the Black Bear Valley. The targets of hundreds of people were still too small, and they were still pretending to be people of the Northern Regions as they advanced through the deep night.

Feng Qingxiao's grave face revealed a gentle expression. With a slight smirk, the little girl did not let him down and brought the Iron Guard back. However, Wind Blade had received some information from Jida. He did not know how it would turn out.

In the morning light, the scouts came back excitedly to report that their lord was stationed in front.

The Iron Guards in the forest were equally excited. When they received the news that the princess had returned with her guards, their hearts were filled with anticipation.

There was a moment of hesitation in his steps when he saw him.

Yun Zihuang quickened her steps and walked over, kneeling on one knee as she lowered her head: "This lowly general, Yun Zihuang, greets Master."

Her voice was slightly trembling. Goodbye, after experiencing so many life and death experiences, countless thoughts. When he had left without saying goodbye, he had not even known if they would meet again!

"Do you know your crime?"

She lowered her head and kowtowed deeply, "This lowly general knows his sin. I am overjoyed to see that my lord is safe and sound."

Feng Qingxiao was silent. Seeing his again, wasn't it also a mix of joy and surprise? Looking at her body covered in dust, her small face was filled with fatigue. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was much thinner than before. How could she not know how difficult it had been for her to return alive?

"You know your crime, do you know how you should be punished for it?"

She looked up at him. "Let the Lord punish us as he pleads, and we beg the Lord's grace to repay the General's mistake with military merits."

He sneered, "If this grandpa were to die in Black Bear Valley, this grandpa would not be able to hear anything even if you had thousands of words to say. "If you were only a general under my command, your head would have been chopped off long ago for your heinous crime!"

Silence. The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy. Within a few hundred feet, there was not a single person. Only the two of them sat on a wooden stake while the other knelt on the grass.

She was sleepy, and thought of what he had said when she had first arrived at Black Bear Gully. Some things he had not said, but it was very likely that he would not have the chance to say them in the future. At this moment, if she once again heard him say such words, if he really did die in the Black Bear Gap in battle, would she regret not saying those words to him?

"My lord and my general are safe and sound now."

"I brought five thousand Iron Guards with me when I left for the battle."

Feng Qingxiao's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He looked at the nearby Iron Guards, and realized that the Iron Guards only had a bit more than a thousand people!

"Since the founding of the Tianyuan Kingdom, the men of the Feng Clan have all died in battle!"

Yun Zihuang's heart trembled, feeling intense pain. Everyone in the Tianyuan Kingdom knew about this, how could she not know?

"Go eat and rest."

Her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but found that she could not. If she had to say anything, she should have revealed her secrets and scruples, but she didn't have the courage to do so yet.

He stood up in silence, turned around, and left. When he looked back, he was still sitting where he had been before. His black eyes quietly looked at her, as if he was waiting for her to say those words to him.

She turned her head and quickly left, because if she looked again, she would be unable to restrain herself from running towards him and revealing a secret that she shouldn't have told him!

The fragrance of the pine trees in the snow was so familiar and soothing. In an instant, he felt like he was in a dream. He felt like he had returned to the capital, to the House of the Duke of Dingguo. Yun Zi Huang stretched out her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, but she suddenly stopped because at this moment, someone was holding her in their arms.

It was him!

His body stiffened. No one knew when he arrived, nor did they know how long he slept in his embrace. Every time he slept in his embrace, he slept exceptionally well, and this time was no exception. For a long time, no one spoke. They just embraced in silence. Her two hands were still tightly hugging his waist, hugging it very tightly.

"The envoy of the Sky Tyrant Lord has arrived."

"So fast."

As she said this, she gently released his hand, wanting to take it back with a guilty conscience, but he put even more force into taking her back into his embrace, "On the fact that you are this grandpa's woman, I will let you off this time. If there is a next time, I will not forgive you!"

She pursed her lips and muttered, "Stingy, I did so much and I didn't even say anything."

"If you were only Commander Yun, your life would be long gone. Duke Ba Tian would be willing to retreat his troops and exchange them for the antidote."

"The Lord has agreed?"

Feng Qingxiao smirked as he tightened his arms, making her feel like he was suffocating, "Dream on! Don't even think about getting any benefits from me. If you want the antidote, exchange it for Bartle's head and retreating troops!"

"So sinister … Cough cough … But I didn't say... There's an antidote. "

"I didn't say that I would give them the antidote."

"You … Was the Lord trying to trick the Duke of Sky to death? "I feel that my lord can fulfill his promise and add some conditions so that the Sun Ascension Empire will have a headache."

When Feng Qingxiao made his comeback, it was known in history as the "Year of the Heavenly Bestowal".

In April of the same year, the Regent led five thousand troops to the Blackbear Ditch. Princess Taiping led a thousand troops to the Blackbear Ditch and sent two hundred thousand troops to the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire.
