Li Ergou followed a Xiliang soldier, and the two of them rode a war horse behind the large army. Five thousand cavalry were running on the vast snow-covered commercial road. The black flag with Li written on it was rustling in the wind.
Li Xiang was at the front of the team, feeling very excited for some reason. Xing Liao felt Li Xiang's excitement and ran even more unrestrainedly. The five thousand black cavalry formed a sharp contrast with the white earth.
In Langya City, the people in the city took advantage of the cold weather and mobilized the entire city to start construction. At this time, they wanted to build a stone city wall, but there was not much time for them to build it, so they had to adapt to local conditions.
They dug up the soil and poured it with water, because the cold soil quickly froze, forming a city wall. They added a layer of city wall to the original city wall, adding about two meters to the original three-meter earth wall.
"Report!" The scout, with a gray-headed face and some yellow mud stained on his clothes, strode to the city lord's mansion, which is also the command center of Langya City: "City lord, in the south, we found a pack of about two thousand wolves rushing towards Langya City.
Come!"
The wolf!
The representatives of the major families and forces present frowned. Wolves like the Jijianlang were very vengeful, and they probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to come and take revenge on them. The Jijian wolf was usually hunted the most in their Langya City, and every year there would be wolves around.
Some Yacane wolves appeared and attacked people around the city.
"Report!" Another scout strode in and said hurriedly: "My lords, hundreds of ferocious beasts have been spotted in the north striding southward, and will arrive outside the city in about an hour!"
One piece of bad news came after another, the city lord's palace became quiet, and the sound of rapid footsteps was heard outside again.
"Report!" The scout gasped: "Sir, there is a black army in the checkpoint outside the customs. There are many of them, and this word is written on the flag!"
The scout took out charcoal and wrote the character "李" on the ground. He didn't know how to write, so he could only write what he saw.
"plum!"
The nearest lord of the Xiao family spoke up first: "There is only one person with the surname of Li outside the Northwest Pass who can still own a banner, the lord of Xiliang City, Li Xiang!"
"He brought a large army into the customs?" The Lord of Langya City thought for a moment: "Can you see what those soldiers were wearing?"
The scout shook his head: "My two dogs and I were doing some early exploration together, and when we saw fifty horses running towards us, we accidentally made a little noise, and were discovered by those people. We ran separately, and our two dogs should have fallen into each other's hands."
Those who are chasing us are each riding tall horses, wearing black armor, and have long weapons in their hands!"
"It looks like they should be the Xiliang cavalry!" The head of the Liu family said: "The people entering the customs this time are the Xiliang City troops. It can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. I don't know where they are going!"
"This city lord really hopes that Xiliang's army will fight in Langya City!" Langya City Lord smiled bitterly and said: "Xiliang City is considered a relatively regular force according to the data. The location of our Langya City is really embarrassing. If
The Xiliang army is coming, and with their protection, Langya City will be safe!"
"I'm afraid they are just pretending!" The head of the Xiao family said with a wry smile: "There is really no other way, so let our children retreat first. There is a Great Wall Legion stationed in Jiuyuan County, so it is considered very safe!"
"Dad, we won't leave here!" Just as the head of the Xiao family finished speaking, a loud voice came, and a sturdy young man about 1.8 meters tall walked in, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a blue leather armor, and a belt on his waist.
Long sword.
Xiao Jian, the eldest young master of the Xiao family.
"Dad, uncles!" Xiao Jian bowed to the elders in the hall and continued: "We came back to learn skills to build and protect our hometown. At this time, our hometown is in trouble, but we are the first to run away.
What’s the difference between us and white-eyed wolves?”
"That's it!" A little head poked out from behind Xiao Jian. She was a little girl, dressed in red. Her fair little face was a little red due to the cold wind, and she had two little pigtails tied on her head: "We have nothing to do with Bai Yan.
What’s the difference between wolves!”
"Xin'er, don't make trouble!" A girl came from behind, picked up the little girl, and looked at the people in the hall apologetically.
The little girl still wanted to speak, but the girl covered her mouth and looked at her sister dissatisfied with her watery eyes.
Xiao Jian looked at the little girl and smiled, making both the girl and the girl a little dazed. He continued to say to the elders: "I received a letter from the senior brother in the sect a few days ago. At this time, the sect has sent tens of thousands of disciples to this area.
Earth, to resist the ferocious beasts, we only need to defend Wolf Fang City and wait for Senior Brother and others to come!"
The people in the hall heard the young man's words, but the sadness on their faces had not yet fallen. Xiao Jian was a little confused: "With the foot power of senior brother, master and others, they will be able to arrive in a few days. No matter how many ferocious beasts rush in by then,
You can also block it, how..."
The head of the Liu family smiled bitterly and said: "My nephew, now it is not just the problem of ferocious beasts. The Great Wall Legion has retreated. The hungry wolves suppressed by the Great Wall Legion outside the pass have entered the pass. Now they are the biggest threat!"
Xiao Jian was a little dazed: "Are those sinners outside the Northwest Pass?"
When Xiao Jian was seven years old, he was sent to the Xuantian Sect to practice. No, it was the younger generation of Langya City who had the qualifications to go to the Xuantian Sect. They were all sent to the Xuantian Sect by people from several families in Langya City.
These young people don't spend a lot of time in Langya City. After they turn seven, they only return to Langya City every year during the Chinese New Year.
They don't know much about how Langya City was formed, and they don't know much about the area outside the Northwest Pass. They only know that it is a place where sinners go.
"It's them!" The Liu family sighed: "The force that came out this time is the number one force outside the pass. Your Xuantian Sect's forces outside the pass and the Great Wall Legion can't destroy it. At this time, the Great Wall Legion's army has retreated, and no one can stop it.
their people.
We in Langya City are the closest to them, and they are a little unfriendly to Xuantian Sect, so they asked you to leave first, and they won’t do anything to us!"
Xiao Jian frowned as he listened. He remembered that several outer sect elders had died a few months ago, and a large number of outer sect disciples had died. That was the Xuantian Sect's largest loss in recent years.
Everyone only knows that they are performing tasks outside the customs, no one knows what they are going to do...
"Then we can't leave even more. If they know..." Before Xiao Jian could finish his words, a scout from outside strode in: "Sir, there are a large number of black cavalry on the official road to the west!"
Black cavalry, Xiliang cavalry!
The fat city lord took a look at the young people gathered outside the door. They had sent these little guys out one after another over the years. He was transferred to this place twenty years ago. At that time, there were these three families in the city, and of course there were many others who relied on them.
Garbage that survives by eating the flesh and blood of miners.
It took him a year to work with three families to clear out the garbage. From that year onwards, they sent children with martial arts talents to the Xuantian Sect for training.
Over the past nineteen years, 365 people have been sent out. After these children succeeded in cultivation, they all chose to return to the desolate place of Langya City. Because of the existence of these children, the caravans no longer treated them as condescendingly as before.
The price of their goods has also increased, and the mine has become very safe.
The fat city lord shook his head. The relationship between Xiliang City and Xuantian Sect was not good. According to the information they compiled, the first joint siege of Xiliang was Xuantian Sect's force outside the pass, Xuanzhai.
Later, they fought against the enemy in Xiliang City. Another super force, the Qing Army, was supported by the Xuantian Sect. During the last battle, there was also the shadow of the Xuantian Sect. The final assassination was all planned by the Xuantian Sect, with as many as fifteen first-rate masters.
, from this we can see how much Xuantian Sect wanted to kill Li Xiang.
If Li Xiang saw Xuantian Sect disciples in Langya City, he didn't know what Li Xiang's reaction would be, but he had bailed out these young men.
Thinking about it, the fat city lord said: "Since we are almost there, let's open the city gate and wait!
Let us see what kind of person is feared by countless villains outside Zonghengguan!"
As he spoke, the fat city lord said to Xiao Jian: "My nephew, wait a minute and take your brothers and sisters on the city wall. Remember, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive, okay?
As long as you, Uncle Yuchi, and I are here, let me see who dares to touch you!"
Although Yu Chixing dislikes his surname, sometimes a good surname is really useful. Even if he doesn't like it, he has been able to go smoothly in recent years because of the things he dislikes the most.
After hearing what Yu Chixing said, Chief Xiao smiled and said to his son: "With your uncle Yuchi's words, you can rest assured! He is not good against ferocious beasts, but he is still very useful to people!"
"Hahaha!" The other two clan leaders burst into laughter. If you look closely, you can see that although they are laughing, the worry in their eyes has not changed.
Boom boom boom!
Five thousand cavalry were running, and apart from the sound of horse hooves, no other sound could be heard between heaven and earth.
Li Xiang and the others took the official road as well as the commercial road. This was a road built by the major chambers of commerce to lead to the outside of the pass. Although it was covered with a layer of white snow, the Xiliang soldiers wrapped the hooves of the beasts' skins, and the war horses stood in the snow.
There is no difference between my running speed and my normal running speed.
Langya City soon appeared in the eyes of everyone, and Prime Minister Li's banner also appeared in the eyes of everyone in Langya City.
Standing on the city wall are the younger generation of Langya City. They are all disciples of Xuantian Sect and represent the future of Langya City. In Xuantian Sect, they have seen the colorful world of the outside world. Compared with the outside world, Langya City is insignificant, but they are deeply aware of the world.
They love this land, and the wolf fangs on their bodies are their testimony.
They had also seen large armies traveling, but when they saw the Xiliang Iron Cavalry appearing, everyone's expressions became serious, especially Xiao Jian, the most powerful of them all, a second-rate middle-level person. When he saw the Xiliang Iron Cavalry,
He felt the pressure brought by Xiliang's army.
The overwhelming murderous aura and majestic momentum caused the true energy in his body to begin to solidify, and its speed became slower and slower.
This is the suppressive force brought by the military formation.
The closer the cavalry got to them, the more uneasy everyone became. All the poultry in the city lay on the ground, as if they felt something terrible.
Above the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, a huge bloody wolf looked at the struggling dragon in the distance. The dragon also turned and opened its eyes to look at the giant wolf. The two looked at each other across countless mountains.
"As expected of the cavalry sweeping across the pass, leaving the Great Wall Army helpless!" Yuchi was surprised when he saw the eyes of the Xiliang cavalry. As a descendant of the general Yuchi's family, even if he did not study hard, he was witnessed by many elders in the family. Next, Yuchixing also had some experience in military formations.
Li Xiang saw the people under Langya City from a distance and began to slow down. The speed of the army slowly slowed down. When it was less than a hundred meters away from Langya City, the speed of the army had completely slowed down.
Li Xiang led 50 people to the Langya City, more than 20 meters away from the crowd. Wang Tianlong took Li Ergou from the Xiliang soldiers to the side of Li Xiang.
Yu Chixing stepped forward and said loudly: "Yu Chixing, Lord of Langya City, everything in the city has been prepared, including gold and silver treasures, food for the Lord, and Yuanshi. Please also ask Lord Li not to hurt anyone!"
"Thank you Yuchi, but are you the Yuchi family in the imperial capital?" Li Xiang saw that Yuchi's appearance was somewhat familiar. As one of the top generals in Daqian, the relationship between several families was very good. Li Xiang had visited the eldest son Li many times, but Most of the time, he is a little follower, basically just recognizing people.
However, Yuchi's family never neglected him and treated him according to etiquette. The appearance of Yuchi's family was easy to recognize, and the men were either strong or fat.
Yuchi smiled bitterly, he still had to rely on this surname: "Yeah!"
Li Xiang got off the horse: "Since Yuchi City Lord has prepared what we need, if I are more polite, wouldn't it mean that I am not giving Yuchi City Lord your face?"
As he spoke, Li said to the soldiers behind him: "Give me an order not to harass the people in the city after entering the city!"
"promise!"
The personal guard rode back to the rear and passed on this order. Li Xiang said happily to Yuchi: "City Lord Yuchi, I wonder if you have any news about the ferocious beast?"
"Vicious beast?" Yu Chixing was a little surprised and replied: "Half an hour ago, the scouts sent a letter saying that a group of ferocious beasts are coming here, and a large number of wolves are also coming!"
"睚眦wolves, I haven't seen these things for a long time!" Li Xiang said with a smile: "Back then, when I was working hard outside the Northwest Pass, I relied on these 睚眦wolves to survive the cold winter. The meat of the 睚睦wolf, I arrived I still remember it now.
It’s a pity that after the rise of Xiliang City, these beasts are rarely seen again!”
"City Lord Li, have you ever eaten wolf meat?" Yu Chixing was a little curious. wolf meat is very unpalatable. They will eat wolf meat only when there is no other way. The meat tastes like tree bark. Even after it is cooked, there is still a strong fishy smell.
"Of course, I still remember that fishy smell!" Li Xiang said with some nostalgia: "The food was very delicious back then. Six people only had an axe, felling wood, hunting wolves, and fighting with the enemy. Now think about that time How did I manage to survive a whole winter with a piece of leather armor?”
While talking, Li Xiang walked to the side of Captain Chi Xing. Li Xiang, who was more than two meters tall, walked to the side of Captain Chi Xing. Only then did everyone realize how tall and powerful Li Xiang was.
Yuchi waited until Mr. Li got closer and felt that Mr. Li's face looked like a person, an enlarged version of him.
The Xiliang cavalry behind them looked around with vigilance. They did not dismount and were standing outside with weapons in hand.
The teenagers on the city wall looked at Li Xiang who was chatting with the city lord and others below. They couldn't see Li Xiang's appearance from above, but they just felt that this man was very strong.
Li Xiang, who is two meters tall, has a very thick body, which is a symbol of Li Xiang. When he puts on that bright armor, he looks tough at first glance.
As if feeling the news coming from above, Li Xiang raised his head and looked above
