Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 43: The High-spirited and Unafraid of Worry
Pinglili suddenly felt that she should say something on behalf of Pianpian.
But before Ying Lili could say anything, Long Yu's words made Ying Lili and Wei Xingying both stunned.
"Pianpian is missing." Long Yu said this without any emotion. No one could hear any emotion in his voice. Ping Lili subconsciously looked back at him, but caught a hint of avoidance in his eyes. She felt that something seemed wrong. However, seeing that Long Yu did not seem to be willing to talk about this matter too much, Ping Lili did not know how to say anything more. After all, they were a couple, and she was an outsider, so it was not easy for her to say much.
"If I remember correctly, General Zhiguo has 100,000 expeditionary troops under his command!" As if sensing the sudden chill in the air in the room, Wei Xingying changed the subject at the right time: "If these 100,000 troops rebelled, then we would really be trapped."
Long Yu's brows furrowed even tighter. Although he had been on guard against the General Chiguo, he still did not expect that he would actually have the courage to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. It seemed that he had really underestimated the old guy.
Or, could it be that something had alarmed the old fox, forcing him to reveal his true colors ?
Long Yu felt that something was wrong, or his intuition told him that there seemed to be a mysterious force driving all this, but he had no clue. Who was it? Who was secretly catalyzing all this?
In other words, as Qingluan said before, who set up this immortal trap? They actually included the Ruoye and Kongming tribes together. No, Long Yu even had a stronger premonition in his heart. Maybe more than one tribe was implicated. Even the Penglai Fairyland, which never asked about the affairs of the Xuming Continent, had intervened. It was not ruled out that other races would be involved!
Long Yu's gaze inadvertently fell on Ying Lili, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that her return to Yonghui City was not a coincidence?
Could it be the Shamo people?
No, that's not right. If they were from Shamo, they would have taken Ying Lili back to Shamo City long ago and would not have let her wander around outside for so long.
Then, who was it? Thinking of Ying Lili, Long Yu suddenly had an idea. If someone deliberately led Ying Lili back to Yonghui City and leaked the news to the Shamo people, then the Shamo people would not remain silent!
If the Shamo people are dragged into the Yonghui War, then the conspiracy will really get bigger, involving the three most powerful races in the Xuming Realm. What is the intention of the person who set up the conspiracy?
Long Yu's heart suddenly tightened, as if he had grasped some key point...
"Is there any way to stop those rebels?" At this moment, Gong Lili was completely unaware of her own importance. Her mind was now filled with thoughts of the Ruoye rebels who would be at the gates of the city tomorrow. She blurted out these words without even thinking.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at her sideways. Only then did Ping Lili realize how childish her words were. However, having said them, she did not want to take them back. Moreover, she hoped from the bottom of her heart to avoid the situation where compatriots killed each other and fathers and daughters became enemies. The incident of being hunted down by the Nayu people in the present world was still vivid in her mind. Ping Lili hated the situation of compatriots killing each other.
"There is indeed a way, but..." Qingluan seemed to understand what Yinglili was thinking. She pondered for a while and said calmly, "There is less than 30% chance of success, and only Miss Ying can do this."
"Me? What do you need me to do?" Upon hearing that there was a solution, Ping Lili immediately became energetic.
"You are a wizard of the Shamo clan, and most importantly, you have the blood of the Nine Yin Xuanhuang." Qingluan said this , and the faces of Long Yu and Wei Xingying on the side darkened. Why has it become a common knowledge that Ying Lili has the blood of the Nine Yin Xuanhuang?
However, Ying Lili herself was quite calm. To be more precise, she did not realize how much trouble her rare blood type would bring, or how many people would spy on her. At this moment, she was thinking about what her Nine Yin Mysterious Desolate blood had to do with this Gu poison technique. Could it be that her blood could also cure the Gu poison?
"What should I do?" Ping Lili thought, if he could avoid the tragedy of the Ruoye compatriots killing each other, then even if he shed a little more blood and took some risks, it didn't seem to be a big deal.
"Since you said that this thief has 100,000 rebels, which is not a small number, I think the Kongming tribe should not be able to use the poison technique to completely control the consciousness of the 100,000 troops. I think they must have used the most primitive method, which is to disperse the Kongming tribe wizards in the army and barely control their mental power. In this case, as long as we can blend into the chaotic army, kill the Kongming tribe wizards who are behind the scenes, and then use my Qingyin flute spell and your Nine Yin Xuanhuang blood to complement each other, it should be possible to remove the poison technique. However, I am only 30% sure of this method. If the bet is right, everyone will be happy, but if the Kongming tribe's poison is too deep... Being surrounded by 100,000 rebels, I am afraid that neither you nor I can think of retreating unscathed..."
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we might as well give it a try! I'm not afraid, but I wonder if you, Qingluan, dare to accompany me to give it a try?" Ping Lili's eyes were burning, and there was no fear in his heart at all.
"No!" Before Qingluan could answer, Long Yu shouted angrily.
Ping Lili pursed her lips and glanced at him in dissatisfaction, knowing that he was worried about her, but her naturally stubborn character emerged at this moment. She slowly raised her head and looked directly at Long Yu: "Long Yu, please remember that you are not only my best friend, you are also the crown prince of this country. I don't want you to regard me as more important than your people."
"Stop talking nonsense! I am the commander here, you don't need to remind me, I said no, it's just no!" Long Yu didn't care about that. Letting her stay in Yonghui City was already his biggest concession. How could he let her be in such a dangerous situation again? Letting her blend into the 100,000 rebels? That would be like hanging her life on the tip of a knife!
"Qingluan, I'll ask you again, if I want to take this risk, do you dare to accompany me to try it?" Seeing that Long Yu was not making sense, Yan Lili simply gave up the meaningless dispute with him. After all, her hands and feet were on her body, her blood was flowing in her body, and she was the master of her own territory. She turned her head and looked at Qingluan, her tone becoming solemn and serious.
"Lili, you..."
Seeing that Lili completely ignored his opinion, Long Yu was furious. With a loud bang, the sandalwood table beside him was regarded as an innocent substitute and was smashed into pieces by Long Yu's palm! He wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Wei Xingying abruptly: "Uncle, Rong Xingying dares to say that you should let Lili try! She is no longer the weak woman who was powerless before. I have been by her side these days and I can see clearly that she is now very courageous and her own strength is enough to defeat thousands of enemies on her own. I believe she can definitely turn danger into safety and help us resolve this rebellion crisis!"
Wei Xingying seemed to have mustered up the greatest courage in his life and contradicted Long Yu.
Long Yu looked at Wei Xingying viciously with his emerald green eyes. He couldn't believe that even Xingying would plead for her.
"Your Highness, everyone has his own destiny. Miss Ying also has her own destiny and choices. Why do you have to go against the will of heaven?" Qingluan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke and actually supported Ying Lili.
Long Yu's right hand, which was clenched into a fist, was already bulging with veins. He suppressed the anger in his heart. These ignorant guys thought war was so fun? Swords and knives have no eyes! That would kill people! Moreover, letting Gong Lili face tens of millions of rebels was something Long Yu could not accept no matter what!
Suddenly, I felt a chill on the back of my hand where veins were bulging, and a slender hand gently covered it.
"Long Yu, please allow me to do something for you, even if it's just a little bit." There was an unprecedented determination in those golden brown eyes. Long Yu sighed lightly, knowing that he had lost again. When she looked at him with such a determined look, he always had no way to refuse.
"I can let you go, but you can't go alone." After a long time, he sighed deeply, and Long Yu finally compromised.
As soon as she heard Long Yu's agreement, Ping Lili was already very excited and agreed to his additional conditions without hesitation.
According to what Qingluan said before, the few of them roughly formulated a strategy in which Long Yu would personally guard the west gate to attract the main force of the rebels, while Gong Lili would lead the others to wait for an opportunity to break the poison techniques of the troops from the flanks.
Li Ying was the protector Long Yu chose for Ying Lili after much consideration. Although Li Ying's martial arts were not particularly outstanding, what Long Yu valued most was Li Ying's calmness and ability to adapt to changing circumstances. The two women in front of him, Ying Lili and Qing Luan, seemed to be the type who were easily overwhelmed by passion. With Li Ying following him, Long Yu felt that he could feel a little more at ease.
Lookout.
Wei Xingying and Zeze sneaked out of the city using the art of earth escape and roamed around within a hundred miles. To put it bluntly, they were keeping watch for Ying Lili. Although Qingluan mentioned before that the ones who would be at the gates of the city tomorrow were thieves from within, the Kongming tribe's army eight hundred miles away was definitely not to be underestimated. Didn't they raid here last night? If they had any other way to raid thousands of miles, it was not impossible. So Long Yu did not dare to take them lightly.
If their plan is to first watch the internal strife among the Ruoye tribe and then reap the benefits, then that's easy to deal with. Long Yu has his own way to clean up the mess first.
But if they want to take advantage of the situation, then how to ensure the safety of Yinglili and Qingluan who are mixed in the chaotic army becomes the primary task.
