Chapter 185 The demon tribe is coming!
"Let us out!"
"Please let me out, I don't want to stay here and wait for death!"
"Dog officer, do you want to kill us?"
The moment the city gate was closed, the group of people who wanted to escape seemed to have their hope of life cut off. They became hysterical in an instant, cursing the guards and Chu Yang who was sitting alone on the top of the city.
Everyone's eyes were red, and they were so excited that they seemed to want to eat people.
While the guards were desperately resisting the people's attack on the city gate, they were also complaining in their hearts. Before, they allowed people to pass, but now they were not allowed. Isn't it obvious to arouse public anger?
If they were not allowed to leave from the beginning, perhaps these people would not be so angry.
Now that the rich have left, the poor have to stay here and wait for death. Anyone would go crazy.
Some young and strong men were so angry that they simply went home to pick up tools such as kitchen knives and hoes in their hands, gathered under the city gate and shouted, as if they were planning to fight with the guards.
The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and blood would splash on the spot if they were not careful.
Seeing this, Chu Yang waved his hand again, and the wind blew these people away, completely clearing the area near the city gate.
All men, women, old and young fell heavily to the ground. They looked at Chu Yang on the top of the city wall in horror. What happened just now was beyond human control.
The people were in a state of anger. It was not feasible to just rely on words to reason. Hesitation would only make things worse, so Chu Yang took action to give them a warning.
Facts have proved that this trick is very useful.
Whether they calmed down or not, these people finally stopped showing radicalism, but they did not leave immediately, but stood silently in place.
Some people had dull eyes, and some people looked sad.
A faint cry sounded in the crowd, and the sad mood spread in an instant.
At this moment, Chu Yang said: "The reason why I stopped you is that I don't want you to go out of the city and die in vain."
The cry paused slightly.
Seeing that the indifferent man who looked like a demon finally spoke, some people among the people also plucked up the courage to say: "Those wealthy businessmen and officials have left, and they also took their own guards with them. We are waiting to die in vain if we stay here."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed: "Yes! How can such a small number of people defend Jinling City? Sir, please show some mercy and let us go!"
"Yes! Please let us go!"
"Please show mercy and give us a way out!"
Chu Yang shook his head and said: "I just want to ask you one question, after leaving Jinling City, How do you avoid the pursuit of the demons? Why do you think you can avoid it? "
A scholar walked out of the crowd and said politely: "The soldier who delivered the message said that the Qi family army was trapped in Wanglong City, which proves that he came from Wanglong City. Based on the distance from Wanglong City to Jinling City, plus the speed of his green-maned horse, we still have one day to escape. "
"If everything goes well, we can go to the next human city to seek refuge before the demons arrive. "
Hearing this, everyone ignited hope and asked Chu Yang to open the city gate.
Chu Yang sneered: "That group of dignitaries also think so, so they will die miserably."
The scholar was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Chu Yang said this, just thinking that he was making a point, frowned and said: "If you can't find a reason to refute me, please open the city gate."
As soon as the voice fell, a handsome man walked out of the crowd, but if you look closely, you will find that his temples have long grown white hair and there are some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes are very young and bright, as if they can illuminate other people's hearts.
Because he is so handsome, people will subconsciously ignore his age.
He walked up to the scholar and explained: "I think what this gentleman means is that no matter how fast a person runs on two feet, he can't be faster than a big monster."
"As far as I know, some bird monsters can fly dozens of miles with just a flap of their wings. The journey you say for a day may not even take a cup of tea in the eyes of those big monsters."
"Not to mention that some dog monsters have a very keen sense of smell. It is common for them to track the smell of three or five days ago."
"It's okay for one person, the smell will dissipate faster. If a group of people walk in the wild, those monsters will soon notice it, so this gentleman forced you to stay in the city to give you a chance to survive."
After the extremely handsome young man finished explaining, those people who didn't know the truth knew Chu Yang's intention, and their anger turned into gratitude. A few people still didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to incite the crowd to attack the city gate.
The scholar who started to argue with Chu Yang lowered his head in shame. He used common sense to speculate about the demons, which was a mistake that couldn't be more wrong.
Seeing the scholar like this, the handsome young man smiled and comforted him: "General Qi has protected Jinling City very well, and even several nearby towns are rarely invaded by demons and demons. This is very rare in the whole south. It's normal that you don't understand these things."
The scholar bowed slightly, then saluted Chu Yang on the top of the city again, and then left with a red face. I don't know if he listened.
After persuading the crowd to disperse, the handsome young man leaped up to the top of the city wall, met Chu Yang's eyes, and bowed, saying: "My Lord, I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder how you are doing?"
"When I won the third place in the imperial examination, some people gave me jewelry, some gave me beauties, and some promised me a high position, but no one knew that I was depressed and just wanted to get drunk!"
"You treated me to the best daughter's red wine in the capital and got me drunk together. I still remember the taste of that wine."
"I didn't expect to see you again ten years later. Your Taoist skills are almost mystical. It's really impressive."
The person who came was none other than Li Xunhuan, Xiao Li's prodigy ten years ago, and also Xiao Li Feidao today.
In fact, Chu Yang didn't deliberately invite Li Xunhuan to drink at the beginning, but because the emperor kept pressing him, he was under great pressure, so he had to drink to vent.
Who would have thought that he would get acquainted with the prodigal Li Xunhuan by accident.
However, the two of them only drank once. Not long after, Li Xunhuan resigned and retired, never to be seen again.
"Why did you appear in Jinling City?"
Chu Yang looked at him quite surprised.
"I was chased here."
Li Xunhuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I have been outside the customs for ten years. I was found by the people from Hulong Villa just when I wanted to come back for a visit. I have to say that the intelligence capabilities of Hulong Villa are truly the best in the world."
Chu Yang asked curiously: "Why are they chasing you?"
Li Xunhuan said helplessly: "I don't like to be an official, but they want me to be an official, or the chief instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army. How can I be qualified for such a high position? There is really no other way, so I ran to Jinling City to temporarily avoid the limelight. ”
Chu Yang's face gradually turned grim, and he asked, "Isn't the leader of the Forbidden Army Guo Bujing, the chief catcher of the Six Sects, concurrently serving as the leader? Why was it suddenly replaced by someone else?"
Li Xunhuan said: "I heard from the two people who were chasing me that it was because the Emperor cared that Guo Juxia would be too tired to hold two jobs and hoped that he could take care of his health, so he dismissed him from his position as the instructor of the Imperial Army."
Chu Yang closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment, he opened his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes, "Your Majesty is very kind-hearted."
"I just wonder if His Majesty might be a little tired after being in power for so many years."
Li Xunhuan heard the hidden meaning in his words and immediately trembled, with a look of horror on his face.
"Since Li Tanhua is here, you might as well stay and defend the city with peace of mind. Your little Li flying knife is the nemesis of the great bird demon."
Chu Yang didn't care how shocked Li Xunhuan was by his words and deeds, he just wanted to deal with the matter in front of him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have this intention."
The moment Li Xunhuan walked out of the crowd, he didn't intend to be alone.
"Then ask Li Tanhua to go to another city to help them defend the city."
Jinling City has two gates, front and back. The gate under Chu Yang's feet faces south, directly opposite Wanglong City, so it will bear the brunt of the monster clan's attack on the city.
Li Xunhuan asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, don't you need my help?"
Chu Yang explained: "I am enough, and you will take the government servants down with me later."
"Guarding the city alone?" Li Xunhuan hesitated to speak.
I don't know how to evaluate Chu Yang's "confidence", or whether it is arrogance.
Defending the city is no child's play, even the top warriors will die in the face of millions of iron hooves, let alone the monsters who are about to attack the city.
The demon race's physique is naturally superior to that of the human race, and there is also a gap in the lethality of the soldiers on both sides. When the two armies faced off, the demon race's army was obviously stronger than the human race's army.
"I know that the prince knows Taoist magic, but it is still too reluctant to defend the city alone. You may not have seen much real war in the capital these years."
Li Xunhuan tried hard to persuade Chu Yang to give up the idea of defending the city alone.
"Li Tanhua doesn't need to worry too much. Since the prince said so, he is naturally confident."
A person came from a distance, with an embroidered spring knife across his waist. It was Li Gexiao.
"Master Li?"
Li Xunhuan looked at Li Ge in surprise and smiled.
"Li Tanhua, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you went to the outside of the Pass. I wonder what the scenery is like outside the Pass?"
Li Ge walked forward with a smile.
“In terms of scenery in this bitterly cold place, the only thing that can be seen is the sky full of wind and snow.”
Li Xunhuan shook his head and laughed.
"Since you want to retire, why not find a good place? Why would you think of going outside the customs to find sin?"
Li Gexiao asked with some confusion.
"I did a sad thing, so I went outside the customs to seek retribution."
For the first time, a bitter expression appeared on Li Xun Huan's face, and this expression made Li Gexiao feel the same. He immediately understood that the sad things Li Xun Huan said were related to feelings.
"In that case, it's okay not to say anything." Li Ge smiled and waved his hands, walked straight to Chu Yang, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I have made arrangements for the other side of the city. Lu Xiaofeng and the others found Mie Mie in General Qi's house. The demon crossbow can help us defend the city."
"However, it is best to send out manpower to ask for help from the imperial court, so that nothing goes wrong."
Chu Yang said: "Then you go, it will just settle the grudge between you and Yan Song."
After hearing this, Li Gexiao shook his head decisively and said, "I have to stay and defend the city. Yan Shifan's life should be taken by whomever he wants. It has nothing to do with me."
Chu Yang was surprised. He had thought that Li Gexiao would step in and intercept Yan Shifan without hesitation. After all, the pain of losing his wife had been unforgettable for so many years.
"If you need someone to inform you, I have two good candidates."
Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "My lord, do you still remember what I said just now that I was chased to Jinling City?"
Chu Yang asked: "Do you want to talk about Dragon Protection Villa?"
Li Xunhuan nodded and said, "The ones chasing me are Tianzi's No. 1 secret agent Duan Tianya, and Di's No. 1 secret agent Gui Hai Yida."
"They were led to other places by my servant Tie Chuanjia, and I guess they will be here soon."
Although Li Gexiao was curious as to why Hulong Villa wanted to pursue Li Xunhuan, at present, the most important thing was, so he said: "Hulong Villa cooperates with the Shenhou Mansion all the year round. The Shenhou Mansion is responsible for dealing with demons and demon clans. They are responsible for gathering information and are proficient in evasion. The demon clan’s method of tracking.”
"Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao are responsible for delivering the message, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Jinling City can protect itself with Chu Yang, but other southern cities may fall into disaster, so if the imperial army arrives one day earlier, those people will have a better chance of survival.
Chu Yang suddenly said: "In this case, you should find the two people as soon as possible, but only one person is enough to deliver the information, and let the other person help me do something."
Li Xunhuan asked: "What is it?"
Chu Yang replied: "I want to know the situation in Wanglong City. How did General Qi and the Qi Family Army get trapped there?"
Li Xunhuan understood Chu Yang's thoughts and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Jinling City is already busy with its own affairs, are you still thinking about helping the Qi Family Army in Wanglong City?"
The words "You are dreaming" were almost said in his words.
Li Gexiao grinned and said, "Li Tanhua is really not suitable for being an official. Fortunately, you resigned that year, otherwise you would suffer now."
Li Xunhuan asked in confusion, "What does Lord Li mean?"
Li Gexiao patted Li Xunhuan's shoulder and whispered, "When I was a centurion, my teacher told me that it is always right to ask less and do more."
Li Xunhuan was still in a daze when Li Gexiao dragged him down the city wall.
After the two left, Chu Yang stood on the wall and whistled. Not long after, a huge wolfhound appeared at the foot of the wall and smiled at Chu Yang in a flattering way.
It couldn't jump up the 100-meter-high wall, so Chu Yang could only cast a spell to make it fly up.
If Wangcai continued to stay outside, he might be killed by the monsters attacking the city. It had such a strong human smell on it, and the big monsters must know that it had recognized its master.
Wangcai had been working hard these days, and it was time to reward it. Chu Yang took out a handful of blood bodhi and stuffed it into its mouth, and the full blood turned into energy flowing in its body.
Wangcai's dog eyes suddenly widened.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "If I give these things to Li Gexiao, I guarantee that he will recover to his peak within a day, but this will not be of any benefit to his martial arts."
"The loss of his foundation also means that he can start from scratch, check for deficiencies in the places that he did not do well before, and make his martial arts more complete."
"I never thought that Yan Nantian would come out halfway and pass on his wedding dress magic skills..."
"It can only be said that time and fate."
After swallowing the blood bodhi, Wangcai's hair became more shiny. He hurriedly shook his tail, hoping that Chu Yang would give him some more rewards.
"Okay, don't be too greedy. If you eat too much, you will be slaughtered easily, just like those pigs before the New Year."
When Wangcai heard this, his tail froze. How excited he was just now, how panicked he was now.
Chu Yang smiled and looked at the vast plain outside the city, watching the sun gradually disappear on the horizon.
Night fell.
The people in the city closed their doors and everyone prayed around the dim lights.
At this moment, people became the most loyal believers of the gods and Buddhas.
The moonlight fell on the city gate, and together with the torches in the dark night, it illuminated the darkness ahead.
The yamen runners were nervously guarding the demon-killing crossbow. Only this peerless killing weapon could bring them a rare sense of security.
The cold wind suddenly became biting.
A strange breath was spreading in the air.
Pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness were like ghost fires, staring at Jinling City, and their red eyes showed greed.
Wangcai showed his fangs and stared fiercely at the front!
Chu Yang stroked its head.
"Finally here!"
