Chapter 125: The Killing Intent

That day, late at night.

In the tent where the nine Bai Qiong brothers lived, Bai Qiong was lying on a hard, short and narrow camp bed. A handsome and feminine guard was carefully applying medicine on his buttocks.

The effect of the medicine stimulated the wound, Bai Qiong's body twitched, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Brother, I want Lu Yi's life!"

Bai Qiong gritted his teeth and stared at Bai Lang fiercely: "It's all because of him that our family is suffering from the misfortune we have today! It's all because of him that Wei Shuang died tragically! It's all because of him that we have fallen out with that old bastard Zhu Song!"

"If he had been obedient and married Wei Shuang according to our plan, and then died honestly, our marriage with the Zhu family would have been successful. How could we have fallen into this situation?"

"Now, not only have we failed to form an alliance with the Zhu family, but we have become their complete enemy."

"Zhu's revenge is so shameless... They actually recruited us into the army. They actually, actually, allowed Zhuge Li to use military law to harm us!"

Bai Qiong screamed, "Zhu Song deserves to die, the Zhu family deserves to die, and Zhuge Li deserves to die a thousand times... But the culprit of all the sins, the source of all the evil, is Lu Yi. It's all Lu Yi's fault!"

Bai Qiong grabbed the rough cloth bed sheet with both hands and gritted his teeth, "I want him to die. If he doesn't die, I, I, I will not be able to close my eyes in peace!"

With a "swish", the handsome guard smeared the pink ointment all over Bai Qiong's wound. Then he took out a small crystal bottle, opened the stopper and shook it gently. A few drops of blood-colored sticky liquid spilled and landed on the pink ointment.

The pink ointment immediately caught fire, with flames more than an inch high.

Bai Qiong's face became extremely strange, and waves of soul-stirring and bone-destroying itching came over his buttocks. His body was shaking violently, and his hands were tightly grasping the bed sheets. He wanted to scream, but dared not to.

He had just been severely beaten with eighty military sticks, and his pelvis was almost broken.

If Bai Qiong himself had not reached the tenth level of Tuomai Realm, he would have been beaten to death by this beating with a military stick.

If he dared to yell in the military camp in the middle of the night, Zhuge Li would definitely not hesitate to give him another good beating.

The flame on his butt burned for more than a dozen breaths.

Then, the flame went out, and the pink ointment turned into a thin pink soft skin, gently sticking to Bai Qiong's buttocks.

The handsome guard lifted a corner of the soft leather and gently peeled it off. The soft leather fell off with a "swish" sound, leaving a faint sweet fragrance, revealing Bai Qiong's intact, white and smooth skin, as white as mutton-fat jade.

When the brothers Bai Lang and Bai Xi saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh with joy at the same time.

It was worthy of being the elixir from the Paradise Palace where heaven and earth meet. Just now, Bai Qiong's butt was beaten like tofu dregs and his flesh was broken, but at this moment, in just a quarter of an hour, his injuries were healed!

Bai Lang smiled and bowed to the guard: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The guard smiled and nodded: "We are a family, you are welcome... Hee, I will trouble you fellow brothers to take care of me in Gaojing from now on."

His eyes swirled, and the guard smiled softly, "As for Lu Yu, how difficult is it for you fellow apprentices to kill him?"

Bai Lang, Bai Qiong and others were ecstatic.

No words were spoken that night.

In the following days, Lu Yi and others galloped at full speed in the city of Haojing, following the highway and passing through one market after another.

On February 20th, I got up very early and the weather was nice.

There was a chilly breeze blowing in the face, and a red sun was rising slowly in the east. Lu Yi, leading the military supervision group, surpassed the vanguard troops in the rear by more than a hundred miles. After breaking camp and running for more than an hour, a very high city wall came into sight in front of them.

For the first time in his life, Lu Yi saw the outer wall of Haojing City.

The red sun in the east shone its rays directly on the western wall of Haojing City. The pale yellow wall reflected bright golden light under the sunlight.

From south to north, I don’t know how long the city wall is, but it seems endless.

From top to bottom, the outer wall of Haojing City is three miles high!

The city wall is three miles high, and there is no trace of splicing on the surface of the wall. The whole wall seems to be cast as one, natural and without any gaps.

Dayin was established more than 1,800 years ago. Before Dayin, Haojing City was the capital of more than a dozen dynasties.

Among those dynasties, the ones closest to Dayin have well-documented history, and the longest one lasted for more than 30,000 years!

The outer wall of Haojing City has experienced at least hundreds of thousands of years of baptism, but there is not a single spot or crack on the surface of the wall.

What kind of magnificent power can create such an incredible wonder?

Beside Lu Yi, brothers Lu Jun and Lu Yi were also staring at the huge wall a few miles ahead in a trance: "Brother Yi, isn't it shocking? Ha, this is not something that can be built by human power."

"This is indeed something that cannot be made by human power." Lu Yi gripped the reins tightly and nodded in agreement: "It's shocking, lamentable, think carefully, how terrible it is? Such a creation, ah!"

The large group of people continued to move forward.

The closer you get to the city wall, the clearer the details you can see.

On the surface of the city wall, there is a zigzag staircase walkway that extends from the ground to the top of the city wall.

At every corner of the zigzag walkway, there is a platform with a radius of one hundred meters, on which people can be vaguely seen moving.

Near these zigzag walkways, vertical stairways lead from the ground to the top of the wall. From afar, the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other can be heard. Giant ladders dozens of feet long and wide are slowly going up and down the stairways.

"That's a hydraulic ladder." Lu Jun introduced, "There's also one in Beijie City. It's powered by the water from the underground river. It can carry thousands of soldiers, or tens of thousands of pounds of food, fodder, and baggage, etc., once up and down."
Lu Yi sighed, "Brother Wu, I have never figured out what such a high city wall was used to protect against. Tsk, just as you said just now, it is so scary. A three-mile high city wall. If you jump from it, it will take a long time for you to die."

Lu Yi remained silent.

He was daydreaming about what the world was like when the spiritual power of heaven and earth had not yet collapsed.

Is there anyone who can go straight to the sky?

Can anyone live forever?

Can anyone ride a whale and a dragon?

Even more, is there anyone who can really fight against heaven and earth, with his own might...

Lu Yi shook his head vigorously, getting rid of all the countless strange thoughts in his head.

He smiled and told himself - 'One day, I will see it all myself! '

After all, he has already walked on this road.

The Vajra Temple, the Blood Soul Temple, the Nine Yin Sect, and many other Buddhist, Taoist, and demonic sects...

Lu Yi is looking forward to the wonderful things in this world.

The vanguard scouts had already rushed to the city gate, or rather, to the "city gate group".

On the city wall nearby, which stretches for hundreds of miles, there are thirty-six city gates in a row. Each city gate is a hundred feet wide and a hundred feet high, square and huge.

After the military order was handed over, the general of the imperial guards guarding the city gate gave an order, and the ground shook slightly. The giant mechanisms inside and under the city walls were impacted by the strong water flow of the underground river, erupting with infinite force.

At the gate of a city, a three-meter-thick metal gate creaked up slowly, revealing a gloomy doorway.

The troops under Lu Yi slowed down and their mounts trotted into the gate.

There was a constant 'creaking' sound coming from the front.

The outer wall of Haojing City is five miles thick. In the city gate tunnel, there is a giant gate every one mile. With the roar of mechanisms, these giant gates are opening one after another.

Lu Yi reined in his horse at the city gate and looked up at the tall city walls.

The sun shone on the pale yellow city wall. A green light flashed in Lu Yi's eyes. On the surface of the city wall, huge lines that were invisible to ordinary people's eyes reflected a faint rainbow of light in the sun.

There is something strange about this city wall.

Lu Yu felt inexplicably satisfied - this city wall was indeed not an ordinary city wall.

It was once extraordinary.

As a result, his mood inexplicably improved, and his whole body was filled with inexplicable strength. Lu Yi smiled and nodded at the imperial guards standing solemnly on both sides of the city gate. He waved to them, and with a force of his legs, the blood-hoofed black horse under him let out a long neigh, and he ran towards the gloomy city gate with all his strength.

The five-mile-long city gate tunnel flashed by, and for the first time in his life, Lu Yi walked out of Haojing City.

There was a city wall blocking the view before, so we couldn’t see anything.

As they left the city, Lu Yi and many other soldiers from the Yulin Army, the Imperial Guards, and the Palace Guards, who, like him, were leaving Haojing City for the first time in their lives, all exclaimed in amazement.

What a vast and magnificent landscape.

Outside the city of Haojing, spring arrived earlier than inside the city. Right in front of Lu Yi was the main road of Zuzhou, which was a hundred miles wide and stretched straight to the west.

Lu Yi's team left the city from a gate located to the south among the thirty-six city gates, so after they rushed out of the city gate, they were less than a mile away from the south side of the main highway.

In front of him was a straight road that looked like a giant dragon, light yellow in color, and just like the walls of Haojing, without any cracks, marks of time, or signs of wear and tear.

Looking south of the road, one can see endless red clouds that look like burning fire.

Those are apricot blossoms.

More than half a month earlier than in Haojing City, the apricot forests stretching for thousands of miles were already in full bloom, and the air was filled with a soft and elegant floral fragrance.

This is an apricot tree that has been growing for who knows how many years.

As far as Lu Yi could see, there were hundreds of old apricot trees several dozen feet high, with branches twisted like dragons, and more than tens of millions of apricot flowers on the trees, each as big as a palm and as colorful as the sunset.

Many soldiers subconsciously pulled the reins and stared blankly at the endless sea of ​​flowers.

"How magnificent!" Lu Yi and many of the accompanying officers applauded and praised at the same time.

From a distance, I saw two cute girls skipping out from the apricot grove, carrying flower baskets.

When they were about to step onto the main road, they suddenly saw a large group of people on the road. They were so frightened that they trembled for a moment and retreated a long way towards the apricot blossom forest.

At this moment, a dozen young men in gorgeous clothes rushed out from the apricot blossom forest, covered the mouths of the two girls with great skill, carried them, and ran into the apricot blossom forest in a flash.

Lu Yi was stunned.

Lu Jun and Lu Yi were dumbfounded.

A young eunuch accompanying him sneered, "What's going on? Sir, look, what does this mean? A group of mice are stealing food in front of a cat?"
