Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 27 Who Holds the White Feather Quietly
A chaotic sound of horse hooves, mixed with a cloud of dust, came closer and closer. It was a row of cavalrymen with about ten people, and the one leading them was not only wearing black armor and a black helmet, but had fiery red hair. His face was solemn at this moment, and he galloped all the way, as if he was anxious to get back to Yonghui City.
Suddenly, a ghostly figure descended from the sky and landed silently on his horse's back, like a maggot attached to his bones! He felt a sudden chill on his neck and thought, Oh no! Is there an ambush here? The red-haired young general suddenly opened his eyes wide, and subconsciously reached for the trident hanging behind the saddle, only to find that the trident had suddenly disappeared!
woman?
The person who attacked me from behind turned out to be a woman?
Not only did this woman appear out of nowhere like a ghost, but she also stole his trident without anyone noticing? !
This realization made him suddenly angry and ashamed. He was the commander of the Dragon Wing Army of the Ruoye tribe, but he was ambushed by a woman. If this were to get out, wouldn't people be laughing at him?
But the female voice continued to sound in a tactless manner: "Hey, don't get excited, I just want to ask you to do us a small favor."
Then, several more exclamations came from behind. The red-haired young man could tell that the exclamations came from the guards following him. Could it be that they were also restrained? Did this woman have an accomplice?
Who is she to be so bold as to attack me in front of Yonghui City? Is she a spy serving as an outpost for the Kongming Clan?
Thinking of this, the red-haired young man's heart sank, as if he had given up everything, and he pulled the reins suddenly. The tall ground dragon horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, almost standing upright, and the strong recoil force caused his whole body to suddenly lean back. The woman behind him seemed not to have expected such a move. She screamed and seemed to lose her balance. Then the red-haired young man felt the coldness on his neck suddenly disappear. It was at this moment!
He suddenly turned around and slapped the woman with his backhand, intending to knock her off her horse. But at this moment, a loud voice came from behind him: "General Mu, stop! We are all on the same side! You too, girl, don't be so presumptuous!"
Hearing someone suddenly calling out his name and saying that they were one of them, the red-haired young man subconsciously retracted his hand a few inches. When he looked carefully at the situation behind him, he was almost stunned. The woman behind him was not as panic-stricken as he had imagined. She was holding a short black iron blade in one hand, and the fingertips of the other hand were tied with faint golden threads, and the other end of the golden thread was firmly tied to the reins in his hand!
What is most surprising is that this is actually a young girl!
She had a delicate and graceful appearance, with a pair of eyes that flashed a dark golden light but were extremely pure. She seemed to have heard the rebuke just now. She was now pouting and muttering to herself: "You old man, what a look! You didn't tell me that we were acquaintances earlier, and made me waste my time!"
In fact, it was not Wei Xingying's fault. Because of the Life-Spirit Art, she could see clearly the enemy as long as they appeared within a few dozen miles. Just now, when she used the Life-Spirit Art to see that the enemy had only a dozen cavalrymen, she flew out!
Normal people like Wei Xingying hadn't even seen the dust, so how could they know who was coming?
By the time Wei Xingying saw the other person's face clearly, she had already shown her hooligan nature to the extreme. She confronted the leader . In order to prevent any further complications, everyone had no choice but to subdue the cavalrymen following behind him first.
After seeing clearly the attacker behind him, the red-haired young man called Mu Feng felt a pang in his heart.
It's not that I haven't seen women before, but this is the first one who is so skilled and bold, yet as clever and quirky as a little girl.
At this moment, a horse suddenly jumped up from behind him and came close to him. There were also two people sitting on the horse. One of them was naturally his guard. At this time, he was sitting on the horse like a puppet and could not move. The other one had white hair and beard and was dressed in black linen. He looked quite familiar. At this time, the loud voice sounded again: "Brother, we are all family. I am Xingying! Do me a favor and take us into the city."
After hearing this, Ping Lili curled his lips again, thinking that this disrespectful old man was trying to establish brotherhood here. Everyone he saw was his brother, so he must have another grandfather's grandfather's grandfather...
However, since her identity was known, her previous plan of threatening with force naturally came to nothing. It would be inappropriate to draw her knife against him at this time. She hastily retracted the short black iron blade in her hand, jumped off her horse, and pretended to be calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Xingying? Why is it you? Why are you here?" The red-haired young man noticed the strange reaction of the girl behind him and almost couldn't help laughing. However, business was more important. He quickly collected his thoughts and finally recognized Wei Xingying. However, he didn't understand why this young master was here at this time. He had always thought that this guy was still in seclusion in the Five Poisons Garden.
At this time, he looked at the green-dressed girl who had already landed on the ground. He wondered what her relationship was with Wei Xingying? Then he also saw several people jumping off the horses of his guards. His brows were knitted tightly. Although he believed that Wei Xingying would not do anything that would harm the Ruoye tribe, these people looked suspicious: "What's going on? Who are these people?"
"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later, brother. Lead us into the city first!"
Yonghui City, the last piece of pure land in the war-torn underworld, seems to be becoming a thing of the past.
It seemed that everything came so suddenly. Suddenly, there was news that the Kongming tribe was marching south. According to rumors, the Dragon Cavalry Army that was originally guarding the border had unexpectedly suffered a defeat. The Kongming tribe's army would probably be at the gates of the city within three days!
Panic spread throughout the city. Some people cursed the Dragon Riders for being incompetent, some prepared to flee in panic. But the strange thing was that more people were hoping to see the miracle that happened five hundred years ago happen again.
The legend of the great master Zhuo Ao of that time is still passed down by word of mouth by the people of Yonghui City. It even becomes more and more miraculous as it is passed on, as if Zhuo Ao was a god who came down to earth to protect Yonghui City's eternal peace.
Although the people of Yonghui City have some resistance to the Ruoye tribe who now occupy Yonghui City, they have a rather contradictory attitude towards the Ruoye prince, Long Yu, who is also the legendary "Blue Sea Dragon Lotus" of their Ruoye tribe.
On the one hand, because the Ruoye people are the incarnation of fishmen, those guys who claim to be orthodox humans naturally have a natural aversion to Long Yu; on the other hand, they also understand that if Long Yu had not been so strong in defending Yonghui City for five hundred years, this place would have been invaded by war long ago.
But when the real danger came, that kind of contradictory psychology was quickly dispersed. No matter whether he was a fishman or a birdman, as long as he could continue to defend the peace of Yonghui City, he was a good man!
Human psychology is such a subtle thing.
Therefore, although the Ruoye army posted numerous notices in the city, if the people of Yonghui City were afraid of war, the Ruoye tribe could send a column of cavalry to escort them southward to a safer city for the time being. However, the actual situation was that not many people really fled in panic. Most of those who left in a hurry were merchants who were not originally permanent residents of this city.
However, the real people of Yonghui City did not flee in droves, which was unexpected. After all, many of them had lived here for generations, and their family property and savings were all here. It was impossible for them to take all their belongings with them and flee in a hurry. Human greed was like this. Even if they knew that danger was approaching, they always held on to some fluke mentality.
Anyone who is willing to stay will be regarded as a member of the Ruoye tribe. Even if the soldiers of the Ruoye tribe fight to the last man, they will protect the safety of the people in the city!
This was originally just a strategy to calm people's hearts, but what made Long Yu laugh and cry was that because of this sentence, the hearts of the people in Yonghui City, which he had been longing for for the past five hundred years, actually came together at this time.
At this critical moment, the people of Yonghui City actually had stronger confidence in Long Yu than in his Ruoye Army. They regarded him as the reincarnation of Zhuo Ao. It was even estimated that many people began to expect that the prince of the Ruoye tribe would be like Zhuo Ao back then, who could repel thousands of enemies with his own strength!
Therefore, when Ping Lili and others were brought back to Yonghui City under the bellies of the horses of Mu Feng, the commander of the First Battalion of the Dragon Wing Army, and his guards, the scene they saw was much more peaceful and harmonious than they had imagined. At least everything seemed to be in order. If it were not for the fact that the defenses on the city walls had suddenly increased several times and looked densely packed, and the rows of Dragon Wing Army soldiers galloping past them in an orderly manner on the streets, Ping Lili would even have doubted whether the news that the Kongming Clan was about to attack the city was a false rumor.
