Chapter 118: Squirrel Spirit
On the northern outskirts of Cloud City, the demon slaying army of Cloud City rushed to the north.
While riding a horse, Li Maicheng asked General Wei, "General Wei, where are those squirrel spirits?"
General Wei said: "Brother Maicheng, those squirrel spirits are in Huanming Mountain in the north of Cloud City. ”
Li Maicheng said: "General Wei, are these squirrel spirits doing evil in the area of Huanming Mountain and arresting the people indiscriminately. ”
General Wei said: "Brother Maicheng, those squirrel spirits did not make trouble in that area, they were still honest and responsible, and they did not go down the mountain to harass the people. ”
Li Maicheng was puzzled: "General Wei, since those squirrel spirits are not doing evil, why do we want to encircle and suppress them?"
General Wei said: "According to the rules of my Cloud City, as long as it is a monster, whether it is good or evil, it must be taken down and killed." ”
Li Maicheng was very angry when he heard this, and he said: "General Wei, then our people will not go, and we will not follow you to Huanming Mountain to kill innocents indiscriminately." ”
General Wei said: "Brother Maicheng, this is what King Yun means, you must go with us, and we can't disobey the order." ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he said angrily: "General Wei, what will happen to you if we don't go?"
General Wei said: "Maicheng, don't blame us for being polite, don't forget your master Zhang Qian, there are so many soldiers of the mission in my Yuncheng Palace, if you disobey the order and don't go to Huanming Mountain, we will arrest you all." ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he immediately said angrily: "General Wei, I am a man who is in the sky, and I will not be afraid of you being caught, there is a kind of coming." ”
At this time, Qi Cangyu immediately played a round and said: "Maicheng, please stop being angry, there is no way, this is Yuncheng, you can bear with it." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Qi, the soldiers of our Han Mission have a code of faith and will not kill innocents indiscriminately, today you let us go to the Huanming Mountain together to encircle and suppress those squirrel spirits, I'm sorry, it's difficult for us to obey." ”
At this time, General Tian saw this stalemate, and immediately said sharply: "Li Maicheng, don't you toast and don't eat and drink, come with us to the Huanming Mountain to subdue the demons, otherwise I will pass on the book with a flying pigeon, and your master and the brothers of the mission will die, and there will be a post station ahead. ”
Li Maicheng was very angry when he heard this, and said loudly: "General Tian, you dare, if you dare to fly pigeons and pass the book, I will let all of you, the hundred and ten, fall to the ground." ”
At this time, Lin Yifan immediately came over to play a round and said to General Tian: "General Tian, you dissipate your anger, this Li Maicheng is an elm head, and his brain can't turn around, so it's better for everyone to go to the bottom of the Huanming Mountain first, see the appearance of the squirrel spirit, and then decide." ”
When General Tian heard this, he felt that Lin Yifan's suggestion was very reasonable, and then said to Li Maicheng: "Brother Maicheng, okay, let's go to the foot of Huanming Mountain first, and then think about what to do." ”
Li Maicheng felt a dilemma when he heard this, and it was difficult to decide, so he immediately said: "Okay, General Tian, then go to the foot of Huanming Mountain first, and talk about the rest when we arrive." ”
General Tian immediately replied, "Okay, then let's do it first." ”
Then Li Maicheng and their large team of demon slaying people and horses, riding horses one by one, walked through mountains, through dense forests, waded through rivers, and finally came to the foot of Huanming Mountain.
Looking up at the mountain from the foot of the Huanming Mountain, I saw that there were many pavilions among the woods on the mountain, and those pavilions were brilliant and antique, and there were a lot of squirrel spirits standing on the side of the pavilions.
Seeing this, Li Maicheng said to General Wei: "General Wei, I don't think those squirrel spirits have harmed the people around here, and we are going to encircle and suppress them now, which is to destroy their homes." ”
General Wei said: "King Yun has an order, in the territory of Cloud City,
As long as it's a goblin, it doesn't matter if he's good or bad, he can't be killed. We're at the bottom of the mountain now, and we'll be ready to attack the squirrel spirits in a moment. ”
Li Maicheng said: "General Wei, it is difficult for our brothers to obey their fate, we will not indiscriminately kill innocent people without distinguishing between good and evil." ”
General Wei said: "Well, if you disobey the order, your master and those soldiers of the mission will be thrown into prison by us, and they will be taken to the execution ground and beheaded." ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he said angrily: "General Wei, then blame us for being unkind. ”
General Wei said: "If you don't obey the order, you will leave." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Our senior brothers and sisters won't leave, we will stop you from killing innocents indiscriminately in this Huanming Mountain." ”
General Wei said: "Li Maicheng, then blame us for being unkind." ”
Li Maicheng said angrily: "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”
Then General Wei drew his sword and rushed towards Li Maicheng, and General Li and the four generals of the Demon Suppression Army also took the Yuncheng soldiers to fight with Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian.
Zhou Xiaotian held the Xuanming Sword and chased General Li to fight, Wu Shitong held the Qiankun axe and fought with General Liu, and Bai Ruoxue fought with General Zhou with the Killing Ming Double Knife.
Qi Cangyu fought with General Tian with a sword. The giant ape monster and Su Chengxuan besieged General Wu. Lin Yifan rushed into the soldier formation with a sword and slashed the soldiers of Cloud City one by one.
They were fighting in the Roaring Mountain, when the squirrel spirit on the mountain saw it, and then the squirrel king brought a lot of squirrel demons with spears and rushed over.
While fighting with General Wei, Li Maicheng shouted to the squirrel king who rushed over: "Squirrel king, we are here to help you." ”
The Squirrel King slashed at the soldiers as he replied, "Thank you brothers, these Cloud City soldiers are our enemies, and they have come to destroy our homeland many times. ”
Li Maicheng slashed and said, "That squirrel king, we are willing to help you protect your homeland. ”
The Squirrel King replied, "Okay, thank you brother for your help." ”
Then Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian were fighting while retreating behind the squirrel demon group.
Those squirrel demons and the soldiers of Cloud City were slashing and slashing fiercely, and gradually those soldiers were cut down less and less.
Seeing that the situation was not good, General Wei immediately shouted: "Withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly......"
Then those Cloud City soldiers fled in panic one by one, and finally disappeared into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that those Yuncheng soldiers had been driven away, the Squirrel King immediately said to Li Maicheng beside him: "Brother, thank you for repelling those Yuncheng soldiers. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Squirrel King, don't thank you, your home was destroyed, and I, as a mortal, am also very guilty. ”
The squirrel king said: "Maicheng, you don't have to feel guilty, you are good people, different from those officers and soldiers in Cloud City." ”
Li Maicheng sighed: "Yes, it's just that they are too cruel, they don't distinguish between good and evil to goblins, they all kill them, and they don't care about killing, this is too cruel and inhumane." ”
The squirrel king said: "Yes, the squirrel demons of our Huanming Mountain never go down the mountain to harm the common people, but more often than not, the officers and soldiers of Yuncheng come to encircle and suppress us." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, they didn't do it right. ”
The squirrel king said: "Brother Maicheng, you guys go to our village to have some food, it's noon, I'll let my subordinates cook food for you." ”
Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Squirrel King." ”
Then the squirrel king led Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian to the Huanming cottage.
I saw that there were several pavilions among the woods on the mountainside
, the squirrel king led Li Maicheng and them to the pine forest pavilion for lunch.
Entering the Songlin Pavilion, Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, Giant Ape Monster, Bai Ruoxue, Su Chengxuan, Wu Shitong, Lin Yifan, and Qi Cangyu sat down one by one. At this time, the squirrel king ordered the little demon to bring tea, as well as nuts, bananas, chestnuts, green fruits and other fruits.
Li Maicheng took a chestnut and ate it, tasted it, felt that this chestnut was really delicious, and then said to the squirrel king: "Squirrel king, your chestnut is so delicious and tastes so good." ”
The squirrel king said: "Well, these chestnuts are produced by our Huanming Mountain, which is quite good." ”
Li Maicheng touched his ears, and then said, "Squirrel King, I want to ask you a question?"
The squirrel king said: "Brother Maicheng, please speak." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Squirrel King, do you know why Yuncheng kills demons and monsters, whether good or bad, good or evil?"
The Squirrel King sighed and said, "Maicheng, I'm afraid I have to ask Qi Cangyu this question." ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he was very surprised, and then said, "Squirrel King, why do you also know Qi Cangyu?"
The squirrel king said: "Qi Cangyu has followed those generals to encircle and suppress my Huanming Mountain before, so I know each other." ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he immediately asked Qi Cangyu, "Brother Cangyu, this is the real thing. ”
Qi Cangyu sighed and said: "Yes, Maicheng, it's not a secret, General Wei did invite me to come to Huanming Mountain to subdue these squirrel demons before. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Then what was the result of you at that time?"
Qi Cangyu said: "I saw that those squirrel demons were pitiful, so I cheated on them, and then General Wei and the soldiers they brought couldn't do it, and they were beaten and fled, which is the result." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Qi, let me ask you, why does King Yun want to exterminate all the goblins, whether they are good or bad, good or evil. ”
Qi Cangyu sighed: " This has to start with the Demon Daoist in Cloud City, the Demon Daoist is a cultivator who travels all over the world, and later came to Cloud City to be deeply valued and appreciated by the King of Clouds, he has high mana, and can turn ordinary people into demons, so there were many rebels in Cloud City before, he arrested those rebels, and then the Demon Daoist turned those rebels into demons, and then King Yun ordered them to be killed, at first it was limited to the rebels, and then it was even more terrifying, King Yun went everywhere to the people to snatch beauties into the palace as concubines, and the husbands or brothers and brothers of those beauties did not agree, and if they resisted, they were arrested and put in prison, and then turned them into monsters, and then killed them, so that no one will know that he is killing innocents indiscriminately. ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he was very angry, and he said: "This Cloud King is also too brutal, it can really be compared with the previous Shang King. ”
Qi Cangyu then sighed and said, "But isn't it?, it's just that the cloud city is heavily guarded, the city walls are full of heavily armored soldiers, and there are many hundreds of meters high towers on the side of the city wall, and there are many archers on the towers, so even if some people resist him, they can't overthrow his brutal rule." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Qi, what should we do then? My master, and the brothers of the mission are still in Yuncheng, we have to save them." ”
Qi Cangyu nodded and said: "Yes, now that your master Zhang Qian and the brothers of the mission are implicated, it is estimated that they will be arrested and sent to the prison, and they will also be turned into demons and dragged to the execution ground for execution, we have to quickly blend into the cloud city to save your master and them." ”
Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Cangyu, you're right." ”
At this time, the squirrel king said: "Maicheng, now that lunch is ready, let's eat first, and discuss while eating." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Squirrel King, then let's eat." ”
Afterwards, Li Maicheng, Qi Cangyu, and Zhou Xiaotian gathered around the table and ate a sumptuous lunch with the Squirrel King.
