Chapter 69: An Inexplicable Charge
From a distance, the sky above Disturbed Sand City was completely pale yellow, and the sky seemed much lower, like a girl dressed in pale yellow silk, standing gracefully between heaven and earth.
After a few days of hurrying, the originally tired body and spirit of the group suddenly became excited, and they all jumped out of the carriage one by one and ran in the direction of Disturbing Sand City. The groom also smiled faintly, raised the whip in his hand, and followed.
Time always flies quickly, and unconsciously, everyone has been running for more than an hour, and seeing that the disturbed sand city is getting closer and closer, the mood is even more excited.
Although the city is the most marginal city of the empire, the grandeur of its construction is not weak at all.
After running for half an hour again, they finally came to the foot of the city of disturbing sand, and looked at the high and the city wall, and everyone showed excitement. The boredom brought about by so many days of travel has also been left far behind at this time.
The walls are made of large beige stones, which may have something to do with the area. The seams in between, the traces of time are even more visible. Occasionally, a small green grass jumps on the wall, like a leaf in the sea, swaying gently in the wind. On the city wall, there are soldiers standing one by one, like the immortal pine on the mountain, standing upright there, letting the wind and rain blow, the sun and the night dew.
The wind occasionally brings up grains of yellow sand, gently patting on the face, itchy, numb, but very comfortable.
"Children, this wall is not bad, right?" At some point, the carriage had stopped behind everyone, and the groom smiled with half-squinted eyes.
"Uncle, how can this city wall be built so high and so wide?" Wang Xin tilted his head and asked in a coquettish voice.
"You see, at the end of that forest is the desert, and there are often tornadoes in the desert, and although the forest can withstand some wind and sand, it is inevitable that there will be wind and sand flying into the city, so the city wall is so high and wide that it is to prevent the attack of wind and sand. The groom pointed to the left, and said unhurriedly, the gray hair that fell from his head fluttered slightly in the wind, like a long-standing guide.
Everyone twisted to look at the forest not far away, nodded slightly, and then walked towards the city gate.
Under the solemn gaze of the soldiers defending the city, everyone entered the city of disturbed sand.
In the disturbed sand city, the flow of people is surging, although it is not as prosperous as Longteng City, but it is also very lively. gave the groom some gold coins again, and Wang Yan and the five of them parted ways with the groom.
Looking at both sides of the street, full of dazzling and diverse categories of small east and west, Wang Xin suddenly came to his senses, looked left and right. After a while, I bought a lot of things, if it weren't for the space ring, I'm afraid Wang Yan and the others would have become free movers.
Drive...... Drive......
The street suddenly became irritable at the sound of two horses. Everyone looked back, and saw that this was not the soldiers who were defending the city just now? A middle-aged man in front of him, riding a tall white horse, with a serious face, was rushing this way. "What's going on?" Wang Yan and the others muttered to themselves.
"Ah, isn't that Captain Tang Cheng?" Looking at the majestic soldiers and tall white horses, the people on the street suddenly moved out of the way, for fear of accidentally provoking this group of fierce law enforcers.
The white horse arrived in front of Wang Yan and them in the blink of an eye, and suddenly stopped, and the man on the white horse was obviously Tang Cheng, his eyes narrowed slightly, turned the horse's head, stared at Wang Yan and the others fiercely, and roared. "Arrest them!"
Wang Yan and the others suddenly felt strange, was it themselves or someone else, but when they looked back, there was no one else in their direction except them, and an ominous feeling arose. Wang Xin leaned to the side and stood next to Wang Yan.
The soldiers who followed behind the white horse heard the order and quickly opened up the formation and surrounded Wang Yan and them. The iron sword in his hand was shining with white light, extremely dazzling, but it was flickering with cold light.
"My lord, who are you?" Wang Yan naturally didn't understand what was going on, stepped forward and saluted, and asked carefully.
"Don't pretend to be garlic with me!" Tang Cheng snorted coldly and said loudly. "What did you do and you don't know what you did?"
"Your Excellency is not joking, is it? Several of us have just entered the city, so we really don't know what your lordship is referring to. Looking at the hideous face of the man on the white horse, Wang Yan frowned and asked softly.
"Are you kidding? Do you think everyone has the same temper as you?" Tang Cheng said impatiently. Then he waved his hand and roared. "Don't arrest them yet!"
The surrounding soldiers quickly moved towards them, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of Wang Yan and them. Among the soldiers, there is seriousness, there is banter. The iron sword in his hand swayed in the sunlight, and the dazzling light shot out in all directions.
"Slow!" Wang Yan frowned and shouted loudly. looked at Tang Cheng and said dissatisfied. "My lord, we have just entered the city, and we haven't even finished this street, so I don't know what angered you, so please tell me more. If we are really as the adults say, we will naturally follow the adults back to confess our sins. ”
Hearing Wang Yanjue's words, the people around him immediately discussed, and they all felt helpless for the group of children in front of them.
"Haha! If you want to know why, when you get to Master Lu Meng, you will naturally know!" Tang Cheng sneered and jokingly.
"Ah, Lord Lu Meng?" When the people around heard the word Lu Meng, they all changed color and said in fear. "Now they're finished, I heard that none of the people in Lu Meng's hands came out alive, and the death was very ugly, it's over, hey...... Poor boy!"
"Wang Yan, what should I do?" Zhou Tian and Fang He on the side all leaned towards Wang Yan, among the five people, only Wang Yan was the most powerful, and they themselves had to lean towards Wang Yan.
"My lord, if you can't come up with a reasonable reason, I don't think we will go with you!" Wang Yan raised his head and said in a deep voice, as if he had lost the tone of discussion he had begun.
"Looking for death!" Tang Cheng frowned, the long sword on his body flickered, the sword was unsheathed, and a blue light slashed down.
Wang Yan's eyes tightened, and he pushed Wang Xin away next to him, and the Rouyun Sword instantly appeared in his hand, and with a wave of his right hand, a light blue sword qi suddenly emitted, meeting the blue sword qi.
Bang......
The two sword qi collided, and the blue light splashed everywhere, making a deafening sound, and the people around them all carefully retreated, but the strong curiosity still made them stop.
"Two more hits. Tang Cheng smiled indifferently, the killing intent in his eyes was even stronger, his feet clamped on the horse, and the whole person jumped up, tossed in the air, and landed firmly on the ground, the long sword was from the bottom up, and the broken sword qi was instantly released, bringing a whirring sound towards Wang Yan. The surrounding soldiers also moved, and the iron swords in their hands kept swinging at Wang Yan and the others. This time, Zhou Tian and the others couldn't help but launch a counterattack, even Wang Xin was no exception, the white sword in his hand was as soft as a swallow, and the green sword qi continued to swing out, facing the surrounding soldiers.
The street suddenly became lively, but it was much quieter, except for the sound of clanging swords, only the faint sound of breathing.
Wang Yan's eyes were half-narrowed, the whole person was as soft as water, and the Rouyun Sword brought up a light blue sword qi, constantly dissolving Tang Cheng's sword qi, and in a few breaths, there were already a few more eye-catching ravines around Wang Yan.
Watching Wang Yan dissolve his sword qi one by one, Tang Cheng was even more surprised, no matter how he said that he was about to be close to the Sword Saint, if he said that he was the captain, where would he go. The killing intent became a little stronger, and he accelerated again and attacked Wang Yan. In fact, how did he know that at this time, Wang Yan's right hand had begun to go numb, and the tiger's mouth was about to overflow with blood, but Wang Yan pretended to be calm, and simply dissolved one sword qi after another.
"Ah......h The whole person fell out like mud.
fell to the ground, Wang Yan found that Wang Xin had been arrested, and two white iron swords were hanging on Wang Xin's neck. Zhou Tian, Qin Xiao and Fang He didn't dare to move again, but just confronted the soldiers around them.
Tang Cheng sneered and slowly walked towards Wang Yan. "Fight, if you dare to move again, I'll kill her!" haha......" A gloomy laugh came out of Tang Cheng's mouth, and the people around him suddenly felt that the temperature had dropped by several points.
Wang Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth vigorously, held the Rouyun Sword, and slowly stood up. He tore off his clothes and tore off a piece of cloth that tightly wrapped the bleeding wound.
"Why?" asked Wang Yan gritting his teeth as he endured the pain from the wound.
"Why?" Tang Cheng had already walked in front of Wang Yan at this time, and suddenly raised his long sword and slashed at Wang Yan.
Yes......
Seeing that the long sword was about to sink into Wang Yan's body, Wang Xin screamed in fright, closed his eyes tightly, and didn't dare to look any further. And Qin Xiao wanted to rescue, but they were also powerless, seeing that Wang Yan was about to end this life like this, everyone was sad. Qin Xiao and the others also followed in Wang Xin's footsteps at this moment of distraction.
Bite......
It was not as bloody as imagined, and there was no imagined Wang Yan's body being split in half. A wide iron sword suddenly appeared on Wang Yan's head, blocking Tang Cheng's sword. The sword qi brought a wind and suppressed it all the time, Wang Yan was knocked down again, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out again.
"Lord Tang Cheng, Lord Lu Meng said that he would deal with them personally!" A soldier blocked Tang Cheng's long sword at this last moment, nodded, and said to Tang Cheng.
"Hmph!" Tang Cheng snorted coldly, put away his long sword, and twisted his head to the side.
Wang Yan, who fell to the ground, there was no pain in his whole body, he wanted to get up, but he felt as painful as ten thousand ants drilling his heart, he tried several times, but he didn't get up, and his body was already dyed, and the bright red blood stains corresponded to the pale yellow sky, which looked extremely sad.
