Chapter 119 Wuyang people should repay their debts
"Actually...after all, it was me who harmed her, right?"
Xia Xianyin looked at the back of Qingzhu who walked into Zhou Jingshui's carriage, and whispered with some annoyance.
After a conversation with Li Danqing, Xia Xianyin roughly figured out the reason why Qin Chenggu dared to attack.
Yang Kui and his party who were rescued by her before must have some ulterior secrets in their hands, and such secrets must have violated the laws of Wuyang, so Qin Chenggu had a reason to attack Li Danqing and others.
Take action. His rhetoric is nothing more than labeling Li Danqing and others as accomplices of Yang Kui and his party.
Li Danqing shrugged his shoulders when he heard this.
"The farmer saved the snake, and the snake killed the farmer."
"As long as the snake repays its kindness with its revenge, how can you blame the farmer for his kindness?"
"This is Qin Chenggu's evildoing, not to mention that people can't always take care of their own affairs. If you think like this, you just fell into Zhou Ganyi's trap."
Li Danqing's words did not make Xia Xianyin feel much better. After all, at that time, Li Danqing had dissuaded her from intervening in that matter. It was her insistence on going her own way that led to the current consequences.
She lowered her head, looking somewhat lonely.
At this moment, Xue Yun suddenly ran over from the rear of the team. His face was pale and he seemed to be very tired, but he was not in the mood to rest. Instead, he came straight to Li Danqing and looked at
The other party said: "There are no pursuers."
Li Danqing's eyes showed something strange when he heard this. Four or five hours had passed since they escaped from Yingshui City. At first, there were pursuers behind them. They ran all the way, but they were abandoned after half an hour.
Lost the pursuer.
Although Li Danqing usually laughs and scolds, and is even quite arrogant at times, he understands from the bottom of his heart that the people in Dafeng Yuan have made great progress in cultivation, but they are still far behind Qin Chenggu's elite. The reason why yesterday
The reason why the fierce battle lasted for so long was firstly because the incident happened suddenly and Qin Chenggu was eager to win and did not mobilize the real main force. Secondly, it was because Zhou Ganyi suddenly let him go.
Everyone in Dafeng Yuan was exhausted after that fierce battle. If Qin Chenggu's elite were willing to pursue them, they would definitely kill everyone in Dafeng Yuan in half an hour at most. He had completely torn apart Li Danqing.
He had lost his face, and there were people with special status like Ning Xiu and Liu Yanzhen in the crowd. If he let the tiger go back to the mountain, he would definitely be retaliated by Ning Huangji. At this point, there was no way he could stop.
Therefore, after confirming that there were no pursuers behind him, Li Danqing instinctively believed that this was Qin Chenggu's plan to suspect soldiers. While he led everyone to escape, he also constantly arranged for Xue Yun, Liu Yanzhen and others to go to the rear and front to explore the news, hoping to see
See if the opponent has an ambush somewhere.
But after several times, Xue Yun and others even broke their legs and still didn't see a single person.
Li Danqing frowned and muttered: "Is it possible that Governor Qin really had a kind heart and let us live?"
Xia Xianyin on the side heard this and temporarily suppressed his depression. He stepped forward and said, "Is there some emergency that forced him to withdraw his troops?"
Li Danqing smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "You underestimate Qin Chenggu too much. Let us go. If our Ning Xiu sheds two tears in front of Ning Huangji, civil strife will break out in Yingshui County if we don't protect it."
, the change that can make Qin Chenggu stop must be at least bigger than this, right? What do you think can happen in Yingshui County that is bigger than this? "
Li Danqing said jokingly, but after hearing this, Xia Xianyin's face darkened, she stared straight at Li Danqing, and said quietly: "Of course."
Li Danqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
, his face also became extremely ugly.
"Xue Yun, let them work harder and speed up their pace. We must return to Gale City before dark!"
…
Ma Tuo City.
Located in the northernmost part of the entire Wuyang Dynasty.
Further north, there is the endless Langtu Grassland, which is the territory of Fujian Royal Family, one of the seven royal families of Youyun.
In any sense, Ma Tuo City is the gateway to Wuyang Dynasty facing Youyun.
But since Wu Yang defeated You Yun's army forty years ago and then supported the Mengxun family to ascend to power, the Wu Yang court no longer prioritized the defense of You Yun first, but instead focused on more
His attention was focused on Daliao to the west.
Although a large amount of military pay is allocated every year, most of it is privately collected by Qin Chenggu. The Qingyun Army responsible for garrisoning Ma Tuo City has very little military pay. In addition, the imperial court is no longer willing to serve in the army.
The north invests a lot of military pay to maintain a large army. Therefore, over the years, government orders have often been issued to reduce the establishment of the Qingyun Army. Today, of the once mighty 200,000 Qingyun Army, there are now less than 80,000 left...
In the past forty years, there has been no war on the Youyun border. The Mengxun royal family also has a respectful attitude towards the Wuyang court. Every year, tribute and congratulatory messages are never left out. They call themselves Wuyang foreign ministers both internally and externally.
Opposition to this matter from both the government and the opposition was suppressed again and again.
People say that those who are constantly thinking about danger will have long-lasting peace.
Those who enjoy peace and quiet and think they have nothing to worry about.
Nature will pay the price.
The only difference is the time.
Forty years of peace and quiet have paralyzed many people, including the people in Ma Tuo City.
Ma Tuo City, located at the junction of Youyun and Wuyang, has enjoyed the blessing of having a mountain and water to support it in the past forty years.
Most of the land in Youyun is barren, and the people mostly make a living by herding and hunting. During the past forty years of peace, traders from both sides exchanged what they needed, and the people of Ma Tuo City were able to enjoy a good life thanks to the constant flow of traders.
Due to the favorable time and place, Ma Tuo City has experienced rapid commercial development in recent years, and its prosperity has ranked among the top three in the entire Yingshui County.
In addition to Yingshui City and Liu Zizai's Heishui City, Ma Tuo City is bustling and prosperous.
But today's Ma Tuo City has long lost the bustling crowds of the past. The people in the city are wailing, soldiers are running around, and the city is in chaos.
"General! There are too many people on the other side. The west city gate has been lost and Youyun's army is about to rush over." Xiang Lang, the commander of Qingyun Army's Hongwu Camp, quickly came to Ning Huangji's side and shouted towards Ning Huangji.
Words.
At this moment, Ning Huang Ji had already put on a suit of armor, and blood was dripping from everywhere on the armor. It was obvious that he had experienced a great battle.
He frowned and looked in the direction outside the city gate, where a stern-faced man was sitting in front of the tent, raising a glass and drinking.
The two sides were miles away from each other, but the man seemed to feel Ning Huangji's gaze. He stopped the wine glass that had been handed to his lips, then looked up at Ning Huangji, and raised it towards Ning Huangji from a distance.
Cups.
Ning Huangji's heart trembled, and he felt the pressure brought by the opponent's movements.
He frowned and said: "Retreat to the inner city! Delay them as much as possible and wait for reinforcements! Also give the people in the city time to escape!"
…
In the camp of Youyun's army, the soldiers came and went in a controlled manner. Although they were attacking fortresses, there was no panic.
The spring breeze was strong, blowing the black flag with the word "Long Tuo" written on the side.
Sitting on the high platform outside the big tent
The person above was Wang Juetong... no, it should be said that it was Long Tuo Yan Ya. He looked at the figure turning away on the city wall in the distance and took back the wine glass in his hand.
"Ning Huangji can be regarded as a character. It's a pity that he didn't meet a good master and was born at the wrong time. Otherwise, this battle would have cost me a lot of effort." He mumbled softly, and the regret in his tone was not as if he was pretending.
.
Bai Sushui, who was standing next to him, heard this and said calmly: "The king thinks highly of him. Ning Huangji is now nearly fifty years old and has just touched the threshold of the Divine River Realm. Such a guy will spend his whole life."
If you can't touch the lintel of the Martial Lord Realm, how can you be compared with the King?"
"Although Martial Lord is strong, he is only stronger than one person. He may be able to defeat ten thousand people with one person, but there are so many Martial Lords in the world. What is truly terrifying is not those martial arts masters, but this one." Long Tuo Yanya said this,
He stretched out his finger and pointed at his forehead.
"Don't underestimate Wuyang people, remember the lessons of forty years."
Bai Sushui was stunned when he heard this and did not dare to refute it, so he quickly lowered his head and responded.
Her respectful attitude made Long Tuo Yanya secretly bored. He waved his hand and suddenly lost interest: "Let Ran Ling come over. The farce is over. Before Ning Huangji retreats to the inner city, let him bleed again.
"
The girl with a pair of extremely lovely tiger teeth came bounding to the high platform. With that iconic smile on her face, she saluted Longtuo Yanya and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you should have done this a long time ago."
Let me take action, and everyone is impatient to wait!"
Long Tuo Yanya was not offended by the complaint in the girl's tone. He smiled and said: "We are going to capture at least three counties in the north during this trip. I have to see first how good our soldiers and horses are.
"
"There will be many opportunities to use you in the future, so why be impatient? Isn't it time for you to show off soon?"
After hearing this, Ran Ling smiled sweetly at Long Tuo Yan Ya. Seeing Long Tuo Yan Ya's eyes full of reverence, she said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Ran Ling will never let you down."
After saying this, the tiger-tooth girl stood still on the high platform. She looked towards the city in the distance. Another pair of pupils deep in her pupils gradually appeared, and a faint green light surged.
"Seven feet west of the city gate, three feet and one foot above the ground."
"Sixteen feet on the east side of the city gate, two feet and seven feet above the ground."
"Thirty-two feet on the west side of the city..."
The green light in Ran Ling's eyes flashed, and strange numbers came out of her mouth. Then the ground began to tremble, and the shadows spread, covering everyone's figures.
Several hill-like catapults were slowly pushed out. Behind and in front of each catapult, there were nearly a hundred burly warriors pulling and pushing forward. It took a long time to push it to the front of the big tent.
Huge stones were pushed out at this time and placed on catapults.
Following the order from the herald, the boulder drew an arc in mid-air and crashed into the tower like an arrow.
Those boulders accurately hit the location reported by Ran Ling. Although they only hit four or five places, as the boulders crashed in, the majestic Ma Tuo City gate collapsed at that time...
Countless soldiers fell from the city wall, and howls and screams rose together with the dust raised when the city wall collapsed.
Long Tuo Yan Ya stood up, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and murmured.
"The Wuyang people's complacency is destined to be their death knell..."
"No matter how majestic a city is, as long as it finds its weak point, it will collapse."
"No matter how powerful a dynasty is, as long as it finds the gate of life, it will collapse overnight."
