However, just when Zhou Xingyun thought that Xuanyuan Chongwu and Changsun Wuzai had stopped and everyone could finally go to the south gate of Lingdu City safely, a wave of hostility suddenly struck...
"There is an assassin!" Wei Suyao frowned and decisively drew out his sword.
In the flash of lightning and flint, the afterimage suddenly appeared, and the sharp edge was like a wisp of wind, suddenly piercing Zhou Xingyun's chest.
"Me?" Zhou Xingyun was shocked and quickly dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, the assassin's target was him instead of Han Feng. Could it be that the person coming was Ximen Lengbang, the killer of the Temple of the Dead?
Just when Zhou Xingyun was wondering who his attacker was, Nangong Ling arrived first, and the seven-foot Tang sword was unsheathed with a clang, cleaving the sharp edge that stabbed Zhou Xingyun's chest.
However, when Nangong Ling drew his sword to fend off his opponent and was about to launch an offensive pursuit, the little girl Zhou Yao saw clearly the appearance of the person coming, but she hurriedly called out to Nangong Ling who was pursuing the victory: "Mom, wait a minute! He shouldn't be an enemy..."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xingyun looked at little girl Zhou Yao curiously. The person suddenly assassinated him. Why wasn't he an enemy?
"Hahaha, the little girl is quite knowledgeable. I first came to report, so I was afraid that Mr. Yun wouldn't remember it, so I said hello in a special way. Everyone should know that Mr. Yun has a very special brain structure and has the ability to automatically filter out men.
Amnesia, if I don't appear in a unique way, he will soon forget me." The young man danced the trident in his hand and pointed at Zhou Xingyun in an unrestrained manner.
"I saw him at Yueya Peak..." Wei Suyao looked at the man in front of him: "He is one of the warriors who responded to the call of the Martial Arts Alliance and trained at Yueya Peak. It is rumored that he was the top martial artist in the previous Young Heroes Conference.
"
"Brother Yun, Brother Yun! I have also met him...he is a brother from Yunziying."
"Huh?" Zhou Xingyun looked surprised. Aren't all the girls in Yunzi camp?
Oh! No, the Fairy Army is all girls. There are indeed male troops in Yunzi Camp, but he rarely pays attention to the situation of the 'stable'. When everyone is in the supernatural world, Qin Shou and Qin Zhi are the general managers of the stable.
"I was ordered to protect the royal family, but... your formation has sufficient combat strength, so I shouldn't need to intervene. Then... see you again."
"Stop! Don't even think about leaving after you're pretending!" Li Xiaofan couldn't bear it and stabbed the opponent with a sharp sword. However, before the long sword touched the opponent, the afterimage of the young man turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.
Zhou Xingyun saw Li Xiaofan standing where the man disappeared, swearing angrily, and couldn't help but smile blankly: "What's the situation? What is that guy doing?"
"He is one of the problem animals of the Leiyun Army in the Yunzi Camp..." Little girl Zhou Jian said naively: "In the world where I was born, the fairy army composed of aunts was invincible, but it was managed by Uncle Qin as the second in command.
The Leiyun Army is also so powerful that it has no friends. By the way, the origin of Leiyun is because my father lives alone and has four-digit beauties. Therefore, Uncle Qin and the others all said that the sky has no eyes and they want to do justice for the sky.
Brother, so... the Leiyun Army was born."
"Qin Shou, come here, I have something to tell you." Zhou Xingyun grabbed Qin Shou's collar with one hand: "Tell me the truth, have you ever thought about asking Yushu Zhifang to form some kind of Thunder Cloud Army?"
"The sun and the moon can be used as a guide! The heaven and the earth can be expressed! Qin's loyalty to Brother Yun is as strong as the mountains and the heaven and the earth are in harmony. He dares to be with you..."
"Get out!" Zhou Xingyun pushed Qin Shou away violently, and his disgusting words made his skin crawl all over.
"Inexplicable." Tang Yuanying scolded with displeasure on her face, disgusted with the young man's rude behavior just now. If Zhou Yao hadn't called out "Wait a minute," she would have definitely been faster than Nangong Ling, and Meteor stabbed the opponent with a sword.
After all, someone attacked her husband...
"Don't worry about it. Although he was hostile when he attacked us, I didn't feel any murderous intent. He probably just wanted to test us." Xuan Jing said lightly, and Xu Zhiqian then added: "He probably wanted to tell us that the Wulin Alliance Faction
We have several masters guarding us secretly."
"I'm sorry, it's Qili'an's fault." Qili'an suddenly apologized to everyone.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xingyun was confused. What did Miss Qili'an do?
"Qili'an noticed that someone was following us in the dark, so she released cold energy in an attempt to scare them away." It turned out that Qili'an discovered that someone was following them in the dark, so she released pressure on them. The other party was worried about Qili'an.
He accidentally injured one of his own, so he showed up to let Zhou Xingyun and others understand the situation.
"Nothing wrong! It's not your fault. The elders of the Wulin Alliance sent them to protect us secretly, but they were discovered by others. That must be their fault!" Zhou Xingyun unconditionally protected Qili'an...
After an interlude, Zhou Xingyun and others arrived at the south gate of the city without any danger. At this time, thousands of people from Lingdu City had gathered at the city gate and confronted each other with the guards stationed at the city gate.
However, the situation of the confrontation between the two sides was a bit beyond the expectations of Zhou Xingyun and others...
"They are..." Han Qiumiao looked annoyed. There were subtle differences between the residents who gathered at the city gate to cause trouble today and the residents who went to the granary to cause trouble two days ago.
The troublemakers who were begging for food in the granary two days ago were all young, middle-aged men and women in good health. To be precise, they are the main labor force in the family.
And the people of Lingdu City who gathered at the city gate today were mostly old, weak, women and children...
Seeing several elderly men and women arguing with the guards fearlessly, Han Qiumiao could only use the word "headache" to describe his mood at this moment.
Daqing Zhou Xingyun's behavior of corporally punishing the troublemakers made the Wuhe gang learn a lesson, not only to let young and strong people come forward to cause trouble.
Now thousands of residents of Lingdu City, with their families and families gathered at the city gate, if Zhou Xingyun punishes the old, weak, women and children, it will undoubtedly arouse more resentment among the people.
"We want to leave the city! Why do you block the city gate! Trapped us in the city!"
"Since you are unwilling to open warehouses to store grain and provide the people with enough food to live on, then let us out of the city!"
"My lord, please do me a favor. The old woman and my grandson just want to stay away from the war and join distant relatives. Please let us out of the city."
"The rebel thief Qingtian Xiong has led 30,000 Northern City guards to form a formation on the outskirts of Lingdu City! I can't open the city gate to let you out!" The royal guards stationed at the city gate earnestly discouraged the people who wanted to leave the city.
Currently, five thousand Northern City guards are standing guard just one mile outside the city gate. Wouldn't opening the city gate be courting death?
"Master Zhou Mu is not a rebel! The royal family is stupid and incompetent, and they don't care about the life and death of the people of Lingdu City! Only Master Zhoumu can make us, the people of Lingdu City, have enough food and clothing!"
"We want to be Lord Qing's subjects! We will not be slaves to the imperial family!" A hunchbacked old woman stamped her cane vigorously: "Today
You can either kill us defenseless old, weak, women and children, or you can open the city gate and let us out!"
"Be citizens! Don't be slaves! Open the city gate! Let us out of the city!"
When Mu Ya saw the hunchbacked old woman, she couldn't help but report to Zhou Xingyun and others: "I met her last night when the Wuhe Gang gathered for discussion. She is one of the representatives of the people of Lingdu City."
"Can any of you estimate how much the goose egg-sized emerald inlaid on her crutch is worth?" Zhou Xingyun's eyes fell on the hunchbacked old woman's crutch. The crystal clear emerald is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
Owned. Even if the soft girl didn't say that she was a representative of the people of Lingdu City, Zhou Xingyun could still be 100% sure that this old woman must be a big landowner!
I want to be Lord Qing’s subjects! Don’t be a slave to the royal family! The old woman dares to speak out in public about such a treasonous act. It seems that her status in Lingdu City is extraordinary, and she is used to being domineering.
Furthermore, the hunchbacked old woman repeatedly emphasized that they were a group of unarmed old and weak women and children, and she obviously wanted to use moral restraint on the city guards.
"Miss Wuchanghua, is there a master hiding next to the old woman?" Zhou Xingyun suddenly asked. Based on the behavior of the hunchbacked old woman, she must have a back-up plan if she dared to say such things unscrupulously.
"There is one top master and three top warriors. They are the servants in the middle of the second row, to the right of the old woman's crutch. The rest are mixed in with the crowd in the fourth and fifth rows." Impermanence Flower said neither lightly nor seriously.
"Let me tell you, it's impossible for a high-ranking old woman like her not to be afraid of death. When she's domineering, she must have bodyguards around her."
Han Qiumiao heard what the hunchbacked old woman said and saw thousands of people booing and shouting that they would not become royal slaves. He was immediately furious: "You will only die when you leave the city, Qingtian Bear will not give you a way to survive."
"See you, princess." When the city guard saw Han Qiumiao, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
Since Qingtian Xiong once openly staged a drama to humiliate the royal princess in the downtown square of Lingdu City, Han Qiumiao's identity was considered public, and the common people had seen her appearance, so the guards had no need to hide it.
"Master Qing is so kind to us people in Lingdu City! When winter comes and we are about to die of cold, it is Master Qing who provides help in the snow and provides quilts and clothes for the people. In the bitter days of famine, when we are about to starve to death, it is also
Master Qing opened a granary to store grain and gave us food as a gift. Master Qing loves the people like his own children, how could he not give the villagers and elders in Lingdu City a way to survive!"
When the hunchbacked old woman met the royal princess, not only did she not salute, but she even stamped her cane vigorously and shouted arrogantly: "The ones who don't give us the people of Lingdu City a way to survive are you who don't understand the sufferings of the people and claim to be
Princesses and emperors of royal families! That was how it was in the past, and it is how it is now!"
"Mother Fushou is right! Master Zhou Mu is not a rebel! We are living well here, but it was your royal family who suddenly occupied Lingdu City! Now Lingdu City is in short supply of food. Since the royal family refuses to open warehouses to stock up on food, then let us go.
Out of town!"
"Yes! We would rather leave Lingdu City to make a living on our own! We would rather not be slaves of your royal family!"
"We want to leave the city! Let us leave the city! Open the city gate! Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
Following the speech of the hunchbacked old woman, thousands of people from Lingdu City who gathered at the city gate all shouted to Han Qiumiao, asking the guards to open the city gate and let everyone leave Lingdu City.
