Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 24 Memories of a Ye State Woman

The Yunqi Army, one of the direct troops under the command of General Fang Nan, the pillar of the Ruoye tribe, is known as the sharpest knife of the Ruoye tribe.
All the sieges and captures of strongholds and thousands of miles of raids are nothing in front of the Yunqi Army. What the Yunqi Army is best at is frontal assault. No matter how strong the opponent's defense is, the Yunqi Army can tear a hole in the opponent's defense with their indomitable and invincible momentum, like a sharp knife, inserting into the enemy 's heart!
Not afraid of death!
Besides not being afraid of death, I am still not afraid of death!
When two meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Especially on a battlefield like this with cold weapons, a madman who is not afraid of death and has great skills and courage is invincible. And this Cloud Cavalry Army, from top to bottom, from the commander to the soldiers, are all such madmen without exception!
Nangong Huang, the eldest son of Nangong Wulie, the commander of the Dragon Cavalry, was ruthlessly thrown by his father into the Cloud Cavalry, which was engaged in battles in the south and the north. He started as an ordinary assault cavalryman and spent hundreds of years to finally become the vanguard commander of the Cloud Cavalry by relying on his outstanding achievements in blood-stained battle robes and his indomitable and fearless spirit.
The saying "like father, like son" probably refers to this kind of people.
Having learned about Nangong Huang's life from Wei Xingying's brief introduction through telepathy, Gong Lili suddenly felt a little more favorable towards the young black-armored general in front of her who was on good terms with Wei Xingying. After all, she had used the Life Skill to see Nangong Huang leading the way and being invincible. Gong Lili had always been full of admiration for such a passionate man.
However, seeing that old man Wei Xingying, whose hair and beard were all white and who was about to be buried in the earth, actually called Nangong Huang, who looked no more than twenty years old, "Brother", made Ping Lili feel extremely conflicted.
Wei Xingying once mentioned that the people of the Ruoye tribe grow very slowly, about one year older every fifty years. Then, Nangong Huang, who looks no more than twenty years old, must be at least eight or nine hundred years old. Wei Xingying, who was born only five hundred years ago, calls him "big brother", which is indeed right. When Wei Xingying was born, he should have been about seven or eight years old in human terms.
However, faced with a person who looked about the same age as himself, but was actually old enough to be the grandfather of his grandfather's grandfather, he still felt a little unhappy about the inexplicable status gap that made him several generations lower than others.
This was still a small matter. What troubled Ping Lili even more was that she couldn't guess what this person was thinking.
Ever since Qiongqi was subdued by Gong Lili, as soon as they heard its angry roar, the Orc legions naturally turned against them. Although Qiongqi could not defeat Gong Lili, in the eyes of those Orcs, he was definitely able to maintain his status as the boss!
However, Jing Lili thought that she was good at fighting monsters and demons, but she was definitely an amateur in deploying troops and fighting. She did not dare to be arrogant in front of an expert. Therefore, the half-orc army that turned against the enemy and the black-armored cavalry of the Ruoye tribe led by the black-armored young general all obeyed the orders of Nangong Huang, the vanguard commander of the Cloud Cavalry.
After Nangong Huang confirmed that the Ruoye Black Armored Cavalry he led had firmly occupied the valley entrance, he unexpectedly did not order them to continue advancing deeper into the valley. He seemed to have completely forgotten his mission as a vanguard, and only asked the soldiers to continue blowing the whistle and beating the drums to make a grand appearance. However, the thousands of Ruoye Black Armored Cavalry he led were ordered to shrink their formation and stay where they were.
As for the surrendered Orc legions, Nangong Huang actually asked them to coordinate with the sound of horns and drums and let out earth-shaking roars, as if he was deliberately creating an atmosphere of a fierce battle at the entrance of the valley. Such an abrupt order made everyone a little confused, and they didn't know what he was up to.
Ying Lili was even more curious, thinking that maybe they were waiting for the Ruoye tribe's army to gather in the rear? But why were the vanguard troops so far away from the army? If this was really a life-and-death battle, by the time the army arrived, it would be too late.
Could it be because Nangong Huang ran too fast? Did he lose sight of the fact that he had left the army far behind? Ping Lili shook his head in self-mockery, waving away these inappropriate complaints in his mind.
The other party is a man who has experienced many battles and will not make such a low-level mistake. So, they must have their own reasons for doing so. Seeing Wei Xingying and Nangong Huang whispering together, and Wei Xingying's brows getting tighter and tighter, Ping Lili knew that this matter was not that simple. However, since Nangong Huang was not willing to reveal his plan to everyone at this time, then, just wait patiently. Since someone wants to act, Ping Lili doesn't mind sitting down and watching the show. She wants to see what Nangong Huang is acting out.
After figuring this out, Ping Lili shook his head and turned to look at the other two people beside him, but was surprised to find that Ze Ze and Qing Luan seemed to have the same indifferent idea.
Zeze was looking up at the sky, standing with his hands behind his back, pretending to be a little adult. Sometimes, Pinglili really wanted to run over and pull his skin to see if it was real human skin. Could it be some thousand-year-old monster transformed? Otherwise, how could he have such a calmer temperament than an adult at this time?
In fact, Ying Lili blamed Ze Ze wrongly. It was not that he was pretending to be calm, but that he was not interested in the affairs of the Ruoye tribe at all. These things had nothing to do with him. He and Ying Lili were just in a temporary cooperation relationship because of a verbal agreement. He only needed to take action when it was time, and then collect the medicine and leave when the one-month deadline agreed upon was up. What did the Ruoye tribe and the Kongming tribe have to do with him?
And Qingluan, the woman who bore the hatred of the loss of her country and her clan, did not say a word at this time. She just took out her flute and stroked it indifferently. It was impossible to guess what she was thinking. This calmness surprised Yan Lili. Logically, Qingluan should be eager to fight the Kongming clan immediately, just like when she came all the way here before. But why did she look so indifferent at this time? She didn't even take the initiative to ask whether the war should be fought or not?
Why is this?
Ping Lili suddenly realized that he actually knew almost nothing about this woman from Ye State, except her name.
Thinking of this, Peng Lili's heart moved, and he walked up to Qingluan and started chatting with her seemingly inadvertently: "Miss Qingluan, what are your plans now?"
The bronze mask concealed Qingluan's expression as always. Qingluan sighed slightly, "To be honest, Miss Pingli, my mind is also in a mess right now. I don't know what I should do next."
When Ping Lili heard this, he was shocked: "How can you say that?"
"I am ashamed to say that I have been following my master to practice in a certain place for many years. This time I sneaked out without telling my master. My master is very smart and had already predicted the bloody disaster that would happen in Licheng today a few days ago." Listening to Qingluan's gloomy voice, the doubts in Pinglili's heart became even greater. If Qingluan's master could predict the future, why would he...
As if seeing the puzzled expression on Pinglili's face, Qingluan sighed again: "You want to ask, since we can predict the future, why would we watch this tragedy happen?"
Pinglili's throat tightened, he swallowed hard, and nodded.
"My master told me that everything is determined by destiny. This is the fate of our Ye Kingdom. The luck of Ye Kingdom has come to an end. As the saying goes, the will of heaven cannot be violated." Qingluan was choked with sobs when she said this.
"Bullshit fate! Who is born to die? What bullshit is God's will? That's all bullshit!" Upon hearing this, Ping Lili couldn't help but get angry and cursed loudly. Perhaps it was because the tragic scene of leaving the city before shocked her. The tragic deaths of the old, the weak, women and children were still vivid in her mind. How could her death be described as nothing serious just because of a sentence of God's will?
But after cursing without thinking, he found that Qingluan was stunned for a long time without saying a word. Then he remembered that his words seemed disrespectful to her master. However, Gong Lili was a stubborn person. Although he knew that the other party would not like to hear what he said, he felt that there was nothing wrong in standing up for the weak, so he was stubborn and refused to explain more.
"Miss Ping is really outspoken and chivalrous. Qingluan thanks the people of my Ye country for your compassion." Qingluan was stunned for a long while, but she was not angry. She choked and continued, "In fact, I didn't believe in God's will before. I thought that I had achieved some success and would be able to change this unfair fate. So I sneaked out of the sect and rushed back day and night, thinking that if I could get back in time, I could at least save the lives of the whole family and preserve some of my bloodline. But I didn't expect that halfway through, it would be... Alas, now it seems that Master is right, everything is destiny..."
"Did something happen to you on the way that delayed you?" Ping Lili listened carefully at this time and actually heard some clues from the other party's words.
"When I was leaving the place of cultivation, I was ambushed by a man in green. The man in green was very skilled in martial arts, probably at least at the level of a grandmaster. How could I be his opponent? After being captured by him, I was knocked unconscious." When Qing Luan said this, he gritted his teeth, as if if the man in green appeared again, she would fight him to the death!
When Ping Lili heard this, she was shocked. A man in green? A Grandmaster? Ping Lili knew one such person. It seemed that there was such a person in Yao Ji's memory five hundred years ago. However, that person was from five hundred years ago and was not from the Ruoye clan. Could he still be alive today? Ping Lili thought about it and realized that she was overthinking. It was not only the man named Zhuo Ao who liked to wear green clothes these days. Moreover, although she had never seen Zhuo Ao in person, according to the legends about Zhuo Ao she had heard before, he was at least a Grandmaster. He should not do such a ridiculous thing as attacking a girl!
