Chapter 52: Doing What I Say
Ji Wan'er was shocked, and immediately stepped forward to help, and Nankong Qian also reached out to help, planning to take her to the place where the people were stationed at the foot of Hanxu Mountain, but the disciples who came later said that Mrs. Ji and Ji Wan'er had special identities and were not suitable to stay at the bottom of the mountain, which attracted attention, so they came to Qilin Gate again.
After arranging for Mrs. Ji to rest, Nankong Qian learned from Ji Wan'er and other Qilin Sect disciples that the old city lord Ji had fallen into the hands of the people of the Demon Realm!
"When did it happen!?" Nankong was startled and turned his head to ask Ji Wan'er.
And Ji Wan'er sobbed softly and said: "In the early hours of this morning, my father said that he wanted to live and die with the people of Zaikong City, so he went to the city tower, but he never came back, and the dark guard reported that it was His Majesty the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm who personally arrested him......"
"It's cold smoke. Nankong slowly lowered his eyes.
"Han Yanchen, he's simply crazy now! Not to mention killing Elder Huang and Elder Hua, he also seriously injured so many disciples of my Qilin Sect, and he didn't let go of even Shu Xie Zhenren, and this time he sent troops to attack Zaikong City, and also led people to kidnap Old City Lord Ji! What do you say, what does he want to do!?Use Old City Lord Ji to threaten us to surrender!?"
One of the Qilin Sect disciples couldn't help but roar loudly! When the words fell, Mrs. Ji seemed to be woken up, coughed lightly, Ji Wan'er suddenly stepped forward to check, and Nan Kongqian signaled them to be quiet, not to disturb Mrs. Ji's rest, anyway, he was about to leave with those disciples and let Ji Wan'er take good care of Mrs. Ji, but suddenly, Mrs. Ji called his name-
"Nankong...... Shallow ......"
Nan Kongqian suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at her, Ji Wan'er looked back at Nan Kongqian in confusion, Nankong Qian's heart was stunned, and then motioned to those disciples to go out first, and then walked in front of Mrs. Ji by himself, "Mrs. Ji." He crouched on the edge of the bed and looked at her respectfully.
"Daddy, he was kidnapped by the people of the Demon Realm......" Mrs. Ji looked at him weakly and said, Nan Kongqian nodded, "I know, madam, don't worry, I will save the old city lord Ji at all costs!"
Mrs. Ji wanted to reach out and hold his hand, but she didn't have enough strength, Nankong Qian hurriedly moved forward when she saw the situation, and took the initiative to hold Mrs. Ji's hand, Mrs. Ji held his hand tightly, her eyes were earnest, "The people of the Demon Realm kidnapped him, not only because he is the city lord of Zaikong City, but more importantly, Zaikong City Order!"
"Empty City Order?!" Nankong was startled!
"Yes! Zaikong City Order!" Mrs. Ji bowed, and at the same time, she took Ji Wan'er's hand again, and made the two of them clasp their fingers tightly, as if only then could she feel at ease, she looked at Nan Kongqian intently, her eyes were sincere and sincere, "Nankong Qian, when we gave you Wan'er, it was because your father promised us that in the name of the Nan family, we would protect our Ji family and our Zaikong City for generations, and now, it's time for you to fulfill this promise." β
When the words fell, Nankong Qian's heart trembled again!
"Mother......" Ji Wan'er seemed to realize something, and looked at Mrs. Ji's eyes couldn't help but sparkle with a hint of crystal.
And Mrs. Ji just smiled faintly, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears in front of her eyes, and continued to say to Nankong Qian: "Wan'er is the only daughter of my Ji family, and the only heir of the Zaikong City Order, Wan'er's father fell into the hands of the people of the Demon Realm, it must be more than lucky, I don't expect him to come back safely, but as his wife, I am also half the master of Zaikong City, I must arrange everything for him!"
The city lord was taken captive, and the people of the Demon Realm took the opportunity to attack the city, and the empty city can be described as precarious, if Wan'er's father unfortunately encounters an accident, then Wan'er is the only heir to the empty city order! No matter what, you must protect Wan'er's safety, and you must not let her also fall into the hands of the Demon Realm...... otherwise, Zaikong City will fall into a place of no return! You promise me, you promise me ......"
Mrs. Ji was so excited that she couldn't help but start shaking when she held the hands of both of them.
"Mother, don't say that, Wan'er is scared in his heart......" Guan'er looked at Mrs. Ji's increasingly pale face and her trembling hands, and her heart couldn't help but feel more uncomfortable, and Nan Kongqian couldn't help but sour his nose when he looked at the scene in front of him, but he quickly recovered, looked at Mrs. Ji and nodded vigorously to reassure, "Madame, since Wan'er is my wife in Nankong Qian, then I will ensure her safety no matter what, and never let her fall into the hands of the people of the Demon Realm!"
"You say...... Do it?" Mrs. Ji once again cast her earnest gaze on Nankong Qian, Nankong Qian nodded vigorously, "As soon as the word is spoken, it is difficult to chase the horse, I swear in front of Mrs. Ji as the master of the Nan family, and swear in front of Mrs. Ji as a disciple of the Qilin Sect, no matter what, I will keep the promise between me and Madame, protect Ji Wan'er, and protect the entire Zaikong City!
"Okay!" Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Nankong Qian's oath, "Since that's the case, then I'll rest assured." She slowly let go of the hand holding them, and then slowly leaned back, Ji Wan'er saw the situation and hurriedly helped her to sleep and rest, and Nankong paused shallowly, said to Ji Wan'er, and left the room on tiptoe.
After going out, a disciple came to tell him, saying that they were invited by the head of the Jinghua Palace, and Nankong Qian knew that it must be for the matter of carrying the empty city, so he came to the Jinghua Hall without saying a word.
Everything is still familiar.
Senior Brother in Head, Elder Red Meilang, Elder Green Wormwood, Elder Green Pothos, unfortunately, the six elders of the Qilin Sect at the beginning, in the blink of an eye, there were only three left, and Elder Mo's position has not been filled, and Elder Huang and Elder Hua ......
Nankong slowly lowered his eyes, not wanting to think about this matter anymore.
The senior brother in charge said that now that the demon world has attacked Zaikong City and kidnapped the old city lord Ji, its intention is already obvious, they are to occupy Zaikong City and control Zaikong City and all the people in the city, unfortunately, even their Qilin Gate helped, but did not let Zaikong City survive, perhaps, this is really fate!
Some disciples reported that the people of the Demon Realm quickly occupied Zaikong City after they left, and also laid a powerful isolation barrier around Zaikong City, and all the people were trapped in the city, and the people of the Demon Realm have led thousands of demon shadows into Zaikong City, and the leader of them seems to be their Demon Emperor Majesty.
Nan Kongqian's heart trembled when he heard the words 'His Majesty the Demon Emperor'!
"Now the people of the major mountain ranges have all gathered at the foot of Hanxu Mountain, although Hanxu Mountain can hide for a while, but it can't hide for a lifetime, if it continues like this, after the people of the Demon World conquer Zaikong City, they will immediately transfer the spearhead to Hanxu Mountain, when so many people gather under the mountain, they will be wantonly plundered by the people of the Demon World if they are not careful, how should we deal with all this?"
Elder Hong's eyebrows raised confusion, and Elder Green and Elder Green both sat silently on one side.
"I think, the top priority, we still have to rescue the old city lord Ji as soon as possible, after all, he is the master of the empty city, with him, he can use the city order to summon the dark guards of the empty city, and then recapture the empty city from the hands of the people of the demon world, we can transfer all the people under the Hanxu Mountain to the empty city, so that as long as we defend the empty city, all the problems will be solved." β
"I'm afraid...... It's not that simple. Elder Qing, who had been silent, spoke slowly, and everyone turned their heads to look at her, Elder Qing said: "From the very beginning, the Demon Realm has been eyeing the people in the major mountain ranges, and then directly sent troops out of the mountains to sweep and expel all the people to the foot of My Hanxu Mountain, after that, they controlled the Beiban You Drunken Mountain, Xihe Mountain and Mengze Mountain, Zaikong City was surrounded by six mountain ranges, they occupied three mountain ranges at once, I think about it, they also have plans for Zaikong City;
When the sacrifice and the mountain desert, they hit the Qilin Gate hard, when we were resting, they quickly sent troops from the three major mountain ranges to attack the empty city, and took away the old city lord Ji, perhaps, from the beginning, their purpose was to carry the empty city, we were wrong, thinking that the object they wanted to attack was all the people of the Northern Barbarians, thinking that as long as we protect the people, they could not do whatever they wanted, but in the long run, Hanxu Mountain is at best a mountain range, and the people are hiding here, after all, it is not a long-term solution, and in the end, our goal will still be transferred to the body of the empty cityγ β
"What does Elder Qing mean is that what the people of the Demon Realm have to calculate from the beginning is Zaikong City?" Du Lianyi was a little incredulous, "But if that's the case, then why did Han Yanchen use Elder Hua to lure the Qilin Gate to the desert battle, why did he use the dementor rod to suck the soul essence blood of people? Why did he seriously injure Shu Xie Zhenren? Even if he wanted to severely damage our Qilin Gate so that we could not interfere in the affairs of Zaikong City, but yesterday when the Demon Realm attacked Zaikong City, my Qilin Gate disciples still charged ahead and took the lead." β
Du Lianyi was very puzzled, and Elder Qing slowly lowered his eyes when he heard this, "This matter is indeed a bit elusive. β
"The people of the Demon Realm are changeable, maybe they wanted to deal with all the people of the Northern Barbarians at first, but then they didn't want to confront our Qilin Sect head-on, and then turned the spearhead to Zaikkong City, which is not impossible. After Du Lianyi and Elder Qing finished talking, Elder Green slowly spoke again.
Du Lianyi bowed slightly when he heard this, "This is also true." β
And Nan Kongqian felt that what they said was not unreasonable, but he remembered what Mrs. Ji told him, so he said to the head and the two elders: "What the senior brother of the head and the two elders said is not unreasonable, but I think that the reason why the demon world suddenly turned the spearhead to the empty city is most likely for the empty city order. β
