Wuhen suddenly smiled: "Miss Ronger's background is unusual."
"My master is the princess, where do you want to go?"
Ronger Wuhen couldn't tell whether what he said was true or not, but he didn't go to the bottom of it: "Xueyue City is the largest place for human trafficking in the Yan Kingdom. There is a mixture of good and bad people there, so I think it is more appropriate to wear casual clothes and sneak in.
.”
"It's great that Mr. Wuhen is willing to provide suggestions for the success of the mission. Then I will do as you say. I won't prepare clothes for you. I will take you to see your subordinates."
"..." Wuhen was speechless, so Bailiyu's words were deliberately testing whether he was really willing to take on this task?
"Go back and tell the princess that the job I accept must not be less than one hundred thousand taels once."
Ronger looked at him with a smile: "I know you do a good job, so I won't treat you badly."
Wuhen: "..."
Are you teasing him?
How could he, the world's number one killer, end up being teased by women at will?!
Wuhen's heart was simply broken.
...
Su Qing was sent away by Ronger after her meal. Less than an hour after she left, the 200,000-strong army from the Beast City launched a massive attack.
The people in the towns behind were all panic-stricken. On the streets, except for people whose families lived outside the city, people who took refuge in the city with their children were sleeping on the streets. There were almost no pedestrians in sight, and many shops were closed to customers.
Those in the city who have relatives in other places have already gone to join them.
Su Qing asked the government to prepare carriages. Once the city gate was lost, he asked the officials to take the people to evacuate. Some of the vacant houses in the city were used to house the people who had taken refuge in the city.
Now they should stop running around. If a group of people flee to other towns one after another, not to mention causing panic in the rear, these people will have no place to live when they go out. If those living in the open air catch the cold and spread it one by one, another epidemic will spread.
Disease.
Officials summoned craftsmen to make carriages and could take them away if necessary. When the people saw that the court had not abandoned them, they naturally did not panic.
After all, the people don't want to leave. Firstly, they have lived here for generations and have feelings for this place. Secondly, when they leave their hometown, they become homeless refugees with no home to live in and no food to eat.
The 200,000 troops in Beast City were so powerful that the Great Wall fell at noon on the third day. The 100,000 troops retreated to the city to hold on, while the remaining troops were still contending with Beast City at the front.
Su Qing stood at the city gate, and the army evacuated in an orderly manner, without being beaten by the beast city in a panic.
Rong'er saw the worry flashing in Su Qing's eyes and comforted her: "Don't worry, Princess. Your Majesty will not be defeated."
"Yeah." Su Qing nodded.
Bailiyu told her when she was in the camp that if the beast city launched a large-scale attack, the Great Wall would definitely not be able to be defended. Although the city gate was strong, it could not withstand tens of thousands of beasts attacking day and night.
So he asked her to return to the city first, and the army would soon be withdrawn. As long as the time was delayed, and when the medicine from the Valley Master arrived, the army of beasts would be wiped out sooner or later.
There were a total of 250,000 people in the southwest, and a total of 240,000 were withdrawn in a whole day, but Baili Yu was still nowhere to be seen.
Qing Yibo said that Bai Liyu led 10,000 people to lure away most of the beasts led by Bai Shaoshu, and this allowed the army to retain its strength and retreat to the city.
"The medicine to deal with all the beasts will be delivered tomorrow. Then it will be time for us to counterattack. The third prince is brave and his own martial arts is not bad. You don't have to worry."
At night, Uncle Qingyi saw that Su Qing was not sleeping and couldn't help coming over to comfort her.
"I know." Su Qing could only say.
Being chased by all kinds of beasts, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, it is difficult to cope with it. The more others comfort her, the more uneasy she becomes.
Uncle Qingyi didn't have time to comfort Su Qing all the time. Anyway, she knew in her heart that it would be useless to talk too much.
He guarded the city gate and arranged a team to meet Shangguan Yan.
Early the next morning, the wild beasts outside the city attacked again, with deafening roars and murderous cries. It was as if one could see a bloody mouth opening in front of their eyes.
Information came from the army that the entire army of 10,000 men lured by the Third Prince was wiped out!
Uncle Qingyi frowned: "Has the body of the third prince been found?"
His heart was pounding and he didn't dare to see Su Qing.
"No, the situation is urgent and I didn't dare to check it carefully."
Uncle Qingyi sighed: "Don't let the third princess know about this in advance."
Su Qing already knows!
Hearing what Ronger said, her hands and feet instantly felt cold, and it took her a while to speak; "It's impossible for him..."
"It is true that the army of ten thousand people was completely wiped out. I looked carefully and found no body of the prince. The prince should get away."
Su Qing couldn't feel at ease, walked back and forth for half a circle, and suddenly said: "Let me go out and take a look!"
Rong'er said quickly: "It's necessary, the princess must not make any mistakes. If the prince escapes, your going out will only make the prince scrupulous."
That makes sense.
Su Qing continued to turn around anxiously, and suddenly thought of something.
"It was Bai Shaoshu who was chasing Baili Yu. He knows Baili Yu's situation best!" Ronger looked at her with confusion:
"What do you want to do, Princess? The military camp in the Beast City is difficult to detect. The intuition of beasts is sharper than that of humans."
Su Qing took out Xiao Hei from his sleeve and said, "Little guy, can you go to the enemy's side and check the situation?"
"Meow meow meow?" Xiao Hei tilted his head. Can he eat something by the way?
Su Qing touched its little head, which was about half the size of a fist: "If you can escape unscathed, bite Shaoshu Bai to death!"
"Meow!" Xiao Hei jumped to the ground, nodded heavily, turned around and ran away in the blink of an eye.
...
Over there at Beast City.
Bai Shaoshu had already set up camp and was celebrating when City Lord Bai came in a hurry: "Bai Liyu is dead?"
"Let him run away." Bai Shaoshu invited his father into the tent: "Dad, don't you want him to die?"
City Lord Bai's eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life, and after a long while he sighed softly: "We can fight, but Baili Yu cannot die. If he dies, we will be in great trouble."
"Dad, you have always given Bailiyu face, but he is determined to be the third prince of the Ming Dynasty. Now our positions are at odds with him. If I let him go, will he let me go?"
Seeing that City Master Bai didn't want to speak, Bai Shaoshu finally couldn't help but asked: "Then you must at least give me a reason to let him go. What trouble will he bring to us if he dies?"
City Lord Bai looked at his son's questioning eyes and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Bai Liyu's master is the master of the Xuanji Pavilion."
"Xuanji's father is Bailiyu's master?" Bai Shaoshu was shocked when he heard the news: "Bailiyu is from Xuanji Pavilion?"
"He probably doesn't know the true identity of his master."
