    Chapter 1194 – Savior is Here!


    Di Chen’s uneasiness quickly became a reality.


    8th month, 7th day, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th legions of the Guards Legion Corps did not even hide themselves as they waltzed out of the teleportation formation and entered Fallen Phoenix City.


    The appearance of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps caused the bustling Fallen Phoenix City to instantly fall silent.


    “The teleportation formation has been activated once more?”


    This was the instinctive reaction of everyone. Following which, everyone broke out in cold sweat.


    What did that mean?


    Feng Tianlie had tided over the past five days and was obviously waiting for the queen to wake up by herself. There was no way he would activate the teleportation formation now. Apart from him, only the queen had the power to open it.


    Along with the immediate appearance of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps upon the activation of the teleportation formation, anyone with a brain would know that this was definitely nned.


    Thinking about the chaos during these past few days, some peoples’ legs turned jelly, and their faces turned ashen white.


    Since ancient times, those who failed in a coup ended up in a bad state. Just dying would be a light punishment, and those who were serious had their families wiped out.


    Some smart ones immediately packed up and got ready to escape; they wanted to either flee to Qin or Tang. No matter where they went, it was better than remaining in Fallen Phoenix City.


    Unfortunately, ck Phoenix had their eyes on them, so how would they be able to escape?


    In the Great Jin wilderness, spies of ck Phoenix loved to wear ck clothes and ck robes, which was why they were known as the ck Clothed Guards.


    A huge storm had covered Fallen Phoenix City.


    Not to mention the basic officials, but even Prince Regent feng Tianlie felt his head go numb. He was both scared and furious.


    Without mentioning the fear, he was furious due to the disrespect of the Personal Guards. This kind of people looking down on him was a humiliation to the prideful Feng Tianlie.


    Without needing to think, the sudden appearance of Feng Qiuhuang had to be because of Ran Min. During these past two days, he had been feeling really annoyed because the Persona Guards had locked down Feng Qiuhuang’s sleeping pce and did not let him in.


    Who knows, maybe Feng Qiuhuang had revived long ago and was just watching them fool around.


    “Are you treating us like monkeys?” Feng Tianlie was unhappy.


    Seeing that, an elder of the family understood, “She’s trying to lead the snake out of the hole. That’s great, without needing to do much, everyone jumped out into the.”


    “....”


    Feng Tianlie’s face was as dead as ash.


    Grumbling was grumbling, but when Feng Qiuhuang showed herself and stared at him coldly, his temper disappeared right away, “My little sister being okay is great. Great Jin really cannot do without you.”


    Following which, he argued for himself, “The servants are dumb and are fooling around, but I did not join in. I tried my best to calm everything down. I was awaiting your return and was helping you protect Great Jin.”


    While speaking, Feng Tianlie pushed all responsibility away from himself.


    It would be a lie to say that Feng Tianlie was not tempted when those people stirred up problems in the court. Luckily, he knew his ce and knew that the game was not real life and that yers could not die in the game.


    The so-called coup would never seed.


    If they were on Hope, Feng Tianlie would have definitely taken the throne for himself.


    Feng Qiuhuang gave Feng Tianlie a look and slowly spat out two words, “Very good.” Following which, she did not bother about him, entering the hall under the protection of the officials who supported her.


    Hearing that, Feng Tianlie stood stunned on the spot. Digesting the words, he said, “Very good? What does that mean? Is she happy or not?”


    At that moment, he lost his focus.


    Feng Qiuhuang naturally had no mind to bother about him. After appearing, she quickly took down all the sinful officials, and the Internal Affairs Court locked them up to be trialed.


    This act undoubtedly helped to settle the hearts of the people and raise the morale.


    The chaotic Fallen Phoenix City went back on track right away. Following which, Feng Qiuhuang announced the cooperation with Great Xia to fend off the Great Zhou invasion, “Not giving them a single inch ofnd, fight to the death.”


    Such a promation along with the appearance of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps had a sufficient amount of weight.


    All of a sudden, Fallen Phoenix City was in joyous mood, celebrating the return of the queen. It also helped to raise the confidence in the Imperial Court. During these past few days, the Great Jin people were having sleepless nights, as they were afraid that they would be people of a fallen country when they woke up.


    This was all just on the surface.


    The cruelness of reality far exceeded the expectations of the people.


    ...


    Queen’s pce, Imperial Reading Room.


    Feng Qiuhuang summoned Meng Yi and Meng Tian. Great Xia Guards Legion Corps Marshal Huo Qubing was also present.


    Feng Qiuhuang, who returned to the reading room, was not as confident as appeared the hall. Currently, her face was filled with exhaustion. Even so, she said sincerely, “General Huo, thank you!”


    “I’m only following orders from the king, so you do not need to be courteous. The guard legion corps is at your disposal.” Huo Qubing was not an arrogant person and understood the rtionship between Xia King and Jin Queen, so he did not dare to act important.


    Feng Qiuhuang nodded. Then she looked toward Meng Yi and asked, “How much grain do we have left in the city?”


    The moment those words were asked, the atmosphere in the reading room became really depressed.


    Meng Yi gritted his teeth and took a look at Huo Qubing to his left, not wanting to hide anything, “My queen, there’s little grain left, and we cannotst over a week. The price of rice on the market has swelled by three times, and the people are panicking. However, the Imperial Court is not able to open up the granary to the people to reduce the prices.”


    “Please punish me for my ipetency.” Meng Yi sought punishment.


    Feng Qiuhuang waved him off, “When can we collect the agriculture tax for this season? I know the yield is bad, but we definitely can collect something, right?”


    Meng Yi’s face became even worse, “I fear that we will not be able to collect any grain.”


    “Why?”


    “Apart from the north and the west, most of the prefectures and counties are wrapped up in the mes of war. Especially the east, which is mostly under Great Zhou now. The Great Zhou army is a pack of wolves, chasing away the civilians and collecting their grain. Following which, they amassed all the grain and used it as military rations.”


    “Those prefectures and counties that were hit ended up bing refugees, so they naturally cannot hand over grain.”


    Feng Qiuhuang was enlightened, and her face was filled with pain as she said bitterly, “Cmity followed by war and civilians not getting enough food; all of this is my fault.”


    “My queen!”


    Seeing that, Meng Yi and Meng Tian both bowed and sought punishment.


    When Huo Qubing saw that, he was filled with emotions. Seeing that they were going to end up ming themselves, he stepped up and said, “In my view, we should discuss how to continue on with the n.”


    Feng Qiuhuang was a girl after all. Seeing the civilians face problems, it was hard for her to control her emotions. Hearing Huo Qubing remind them, she realized that she had gone out of character, “General, what strategy do you have?”


    “You do not have to be too worried about grain.” Huo Qubing gave her some hope, “The Guards Legion Corps broughtrge amounts of military grain pills and are self-sufficient. The grain for Leopard Legion Corps will be handled by the Zhongyuan Provincial Governor office and does not need Great Jin to worry about it.”


    “This....”


    Meng Yi and Meng Tian exchanged nces, seeing the surprise in each other’s faces. When the Xia King had discussed the battle n with them, he did not mention the military grain pill.


    It was obvious that the Xia King was caring for their face.


    Maybe in the eyes of the Xia King, this was not worth mentioning, so he did not point it out.


    The truth was just that. Maybe the entire wilderness was worrying about grain, but that did not include Great Xia. The huge purchase at the start of the year made them self-sufficient.


    The newly reimed 200 mu of farnd had helped to make up for the poor yield to a certain extent.


    Along with the perfect water irrigation system and the advanced agriculture tactics from the school of agriculture, the strong territory specialties, and the like stacked together, the effects of the cmity on grain yield was minimal.


    It was not as exaggerated as the other territories.


    As a result, Great Xia could still take outrge amounts of grain to make military grain pills, while others were worrying about grain.


    Hence, it was understandable that Ouyang Shuo did not mention the topic of grain.


    When Feng Qiuhuang saw that, she sighed in her heart. She had realized thatpared to Great Xia, Great Jin was so weak in terms of their foundations. The difference between the two dynasties was not just territory size.


    After settling the grain matter, the two sides started to discuss the specific battle n. After all, the armies of both countries were fighting together, so even if an overview was discussed before, they needed to perfect the details.


    Time was on the essence, and the four of them discussed for less than an hour before going their separate ways.


    ...


    8th month, 7th day, noon, the Guards Legion Corps that had appeared in Fallen Phoenix City for a short time exited the city.


    Along with them were the Great Jin Guards Legion Corps led by Meng Tian. In Fallen Phoenix City, only the five thousand Personal Guards led by Ran Min were left.


    “That’s great; we are finally saved.”


    The logic of the people was simple. The army was holed up in the city because they were afraid of the enemy. Now that they were taking the initiative, it was naturally because they could win.


    Although the logic was simple, it made sense.


    The news of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps appearing in Fallen Phoenix City quickly spread through the wilderness. Hence, their exit from the city was captured by the scouts of Great Zhou and reported to themand headquarters.


    When Great Zhou pce guard marshal Lianpo got the report, he did not dare to take matters into his own hands and sought instructions from Di Chen. Should they fight, or should they retreat? If they fought, with just the pce guards, they did not have a high chance of winning. However, retreating would make thingsplicated.
