Chapter 123, Curse Sect
Hundreds of dark flame sergeants were hidden in the jungle, led by a red-eyed and black-faced captain, who waited for a long time and didn't see anyone coming, and couldn't help but complain to the subordinates on the side: "It's all because of the bad ideas you guys gave me, what are you saying to wait here for leisure, waiting for the guys from Tianqing to come over, most of the night has passed, not a single ghost shadow has been seen, and half of the military merit has not been caught, it is really unlucky!"
Several of his soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said: "Just now, the scout reported that there was a team of Tianqing men and horses coming in our direction, but I don't know why they haven't arrived for half a day. Lord Lieutenant, how about we send another scout to find out?"
"Lao Tzu just said to let the scouts go and take a look, you two have to say that you are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, causing the other party to be alert and not let go, why are you not afraid now? Come on, go to the front and see what the hell those guys are doing?"
After a while, several scouts ran back in a puff of smoke: "Report! Those people have already made a detour and fled!"
"How can this be reasonable! Whoever has the military exploits in hand to let them slip away, they will all chase after me, and no one will be left behind if they catch up!" Captain Captain with red eyes and black face burst into a loud shout, and the first one rushed out, and the rest of his subordinates did not dare to slack off, and they all followed closely behind, chasing in the direction where Tang Lang and the others left.
Tang Lang took Ji Fengyu and others in a big circle in the woods and walked to the post road outside Canglei City, as long as they followed the post road for two or three miles, they could reach the city gate, and from a distance, several bright flames had been lit on the city wall, it must be Xing Yizhi and Bei Siqi who had already sent the message back to the city and were ready to respond at any time.
Everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace, and rushed all the way, and before the tea was ready, they had already come to a place less than a mile below Canglei City, and when they were about to reach the end, hundreds of Dark Flame soldiers came out of the oblique thorns and blocked the way.
Ji Fengyu barely recovered half of his spiritual power, and looked at the Dark Flame Sergeant with a frown, and the leading officers also happened to be looking at each other, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.
"Tang Lang, what do you have in mind?" Ji Fengyu was at a loss, wanting to see if Tang Lang had a solution to his predicament.
"Hmm...... No!" Tang Lang's tone was very strange, and his gaze was a little evasive.
Ji Fengyu looked around, Jiang Dali and the others were quite calm, the Qianhe students had begun to tremble, after a night of fierce fighting, the physical strength and nerves of these teenagers had been tense to the limit, and they were no longer able to carry out a new round of confrontation.
"Dali, this is the special distress fireworks made by Canglei Academy, you release it now, so that the dean and them can see it, and quickly let the city send someone out to respond, otherwise we will all confess here! No matter what, you can't die at the city gate, it's too embarrassing!" Ji Fengyu sighed, ready to ask for help from the city.
Jiang Dali took the fireworks from his hand, held it high above his head, and pulled the lead suddenly, and a ball of light that alternately changed blue and green rose one after another, which was particularly eye-catching in the night sky......
At this time, on the Canglei city wall, dozens of people stood and divided into two columns, on one side was the Canglei people led by Zong Bo, and on the other side was the military forces represented by the city lord Shang Yuanqing, who were arguing endlessly at the head of the city.
Bei Siqi's expression was the most excited, and he said loudly in a hoarse voice: "What are you waiting for, you should have sent troops out of the city to meet you a long time ago."
Mentor Ji Fengyu finally asked for a thousand strong men from the emperor to defend the city, all of them were good players drawn from the major academies, once they entered the city, it would not be so easy for Dark Yan to attack the city!"
Canglei City usually has only a few thousand standing garrisons, led by a captain named Lang Xiangrong, and without waiting for the city lord Shang Yuanqing to answer, this person immediately rejected Bei Siqi's request: "No! What if it is a trick to lure the enemy by Dark Flame?" My duty is to ensure that Canglei is foolproof, as long as the emperor's army arrives in the future, I can't act rashly!"
"You!" Xing Yizhi looked at each other angrily: "Those people outside are all the new forces helping us, but you let them be surrounded by dark flames and not rescue, since they don't want to rescue, why did they agree to release fireworks and release signals just now, it is simply a deliberate attempt to kill their lives!"
Lang Xiangrong's face did not change at all: "The Dark Flame army has besieged the city for more than ten days, and the communication formation has also been blocked, and we don't know anything about the changes in the outside world. If a thousand reinforcements really appeared outside the city, how could I not agree to let them into the city. But now there are only some shouts of killing nearby, and there is no trace of anyone at all. It is unconvincing that we should believe that the emperor has sent reinforcements based on the confessions of the three of you. In case you ......"
"What if?" Zong Bo's face sank like water, and he took a step forward, his eyes were threatening: "Captain Lang, what do you mean by this?" Yizhi, Siqi and Jiaxiang are all my Canglei lecturers, and they are willing to take a huge risk to break through the Dark Flame Camp and come back to report the news, how dare you doubt them? Do you think that there are still spies in my Canglei Academy?"
The city lord Shang Yuanqing saw that the atmosphere on both sides was already tense, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "You are all the mainstay of Canglei, and now that the national disaster is at hand, everyone must cooperate sincerely in order to tide over the difficulties together, and there must be no conflict, you can sit down and discuss anything, don't hurt the harmony!"
"What are you sitting down to discuss? Outside are a thousand strong students drawn from the major academies, let's let them divide and surround them in the dark flame and then besiege and kill them one by one? Others are here to help us, if we do this, who will dare to rescue Cang Lei in the future!" Shu Jiaxiang, as a doctor, cherishes the preciousness of life the most, and he is even more indignant when he hears the city lord's prevarication.
"Bold! Talking to the City Lord in such a tone!" Several of the City Lord's staff members glared at Cang Lei and the others, and the situation became even more tense.
"Captain Lang, this is the nameplate that the emperor just awarded to Ji Fengyu, and the transfer of the powerhouses of the major academies is also the emperor's edict, if you delay the final delay of the fighter plane, what should you be guilty of?" Xing Yizhi held up the identity nameplate given by Ji Fengyu in front of his eyes, and everyone could see it clearly.
"This ......" The city lord Shang Yuanqing saw that the nameplate was not fake, and he was a little biased in his heart to support Canglei's side: "Captain Lang, what Canglei's side said is not unreasonable, it is better to open the city gate and let the sect dean send someone out to have a look!"
"No! the matter of opening the city gate will not be discussed again, unless the emperor personally orders it, it is absolutely impossible!" Lang Xiangrong's tone was categorical, and he did not make the slightest concession.
The red-eyed and black-faced lieutenant finally caught up with Ji Fengyu and the others, and he was a little hesitant when he saw the rescue signal released just now, after all, Canglei City was close at hand, and if reinforcements were sent in the city, he might not be able to retreat with his whole body, but after waiting for the tea, there was no movement
, laughed and said: "The dog thieves in Canglei City have been frightened by the Dark Flame Army, and they dare not show their faces in the city, this military merit is going to be decided." Boys, kill me ......"
The Dark Flame pursuers couldn't bear it anymore, and the leader gave an order, rushing towards Ji Fengyu and the others like jackals, tigers and leopards.
Ji Fengyu looked at the silent Canglei City, spat heavily on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "I was killed this time!
The rest of the people also understood that this might be the last battle in this life, although their hearts were flustered, but many people still raised their weapons in their hands, used the last remaining spiritual power, and prepared to fight to the death against the Dark Flame Army, but many more people were already trembling so much that they couldn't help themselves, and even began to cry with their heads in their arms.
Tang Lang's behavior at this time was extremely strange, in normal times, he would definitely say a few words to relieve everyone's fear, or give an idea to lead everyone to escape, but this would not say a word, just put on a fighting posture, staring at the enemy who was getting closer and closer on the opposite side.
Canglei City was still arguing, and suddenly from the place where the fireworks signal was sent out just now, there were earth-shattering shouts and howls, Xing Yizhi and the others were immediately anxious: "Oops, they have already caught up!" Dean, if you don't make a move, Mentor Ji and they will be in danger!"
Zong Bo's face turned pale, and he said word by word: "City Lord Shang, Captain Lang, the people of my academy encountered chasing soldiers outside the city, hurry up and open the city gate, we will arrange for people to answer by ourselves, if you still have to delay, don't blame Zong and Canglei Academy for turning against you!"
Lang Xiangrong waved back, and the sergeant behind him immediately aimed the sword and bow in his hand at the Canglei people, and sneered: "I have long seen that you have the idea of rebelling and joining the enemy, and today you really showed your feet." The city gates will never be opened, and if you dare to take a step forward, you will be punished according to rebellion!"
Zong Bo and the others froze suddenly, although the situation was extremely dangerous, but they did not intend to fight hard with the defenders in the city to cause internal strife, an old man in black walked out from behind everyone, and every step he took increased, the momentum on his body increased by several points, and the apprentices, spellers, spell masters, and spell masters soared all the way to the spell sect.
"Although I don't know what attention you are paying attention to, but there is my grandson among the people outside, and there can be no accidents! Now I go out to rescue, you should quickly open the city gate, otherwise I will blast the city gate to pieces, don't be surprised!" The momentum on the old man in black was as wanton as a frenzy, and even the flames at the head of the city were blown out by the invisible momentum.
"Old friend, why do you bother! Your injuries ......," Zong Bo sighed.
The old man in black was Tang Lang's grandfather, a generation of curse sect Gu Yuxia, nodded slightly at Zong Bo: "I'm going!" I'll leave it to you here, but I don't want the city gate to be closed when I come back, if there are still people blocking it, I don't mind killing him!" After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Lang Xiangrong, which suddenly made Lang Xiangrong feel like a great enemy, and he felt a chill.
Gu Yuxia's feet were lightly clicked, and his body swept towards the place where the shouting and killing place came from like a meteor, and disappeared into everyone's eyes.
Zong Bo shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze! Why don't you hurry up and prepare to open the city gate and welcome the return of the Curse Sect!"
Lang Xiangrong and Shang Yuanqing glanced at each other, the situation was far beyond the control ability of the two of them, and the status of the strong man of the Curse Sect in Tianqing was second only to the emperor, so he could only act according to Gu Yuxia's orders first.
