Chapter 745: The Chiba Army
Just as the white fox was worried, as soon as the sky was bright, Xu Tianyang rushed into Xu Ning's room.
Xu Ning didn't sleep all night, how could he sleep?
When a person's combat ability in a certain aspect is very strong, he will have a corresponding premonition, Xu Ning, who is extremely close to death all day long, always feels restless this night, and his mind is always cranky.
This is a premonition that danger is approaching, and although Xu Ning can feel it before, he has never been so strict.
After Xu Tianyang rushed in, almost instinctively, he jumped up from the bed.
"Brother Xu Ning, it's not good!"
"What's going on?"
"Breeze City, surrounded!"
Xu Ning felt the feeling that a stone had fallen to the ground in his heart, and it was finally time to come.
Fighting is not scary, waiting for battle is scary, and it is easy to get anxious. Xu Ning is no exception at this point, not to mention that he is an anxious person.
"Don't rush, speak slowly." Xu Ning looked very calm, changed into a brand new black robe, and tied his hair tightly, "Are you surrounded by Qingfeng City, and there are many people here?!" β
"A lot, a lot! Looking from the city, the main gate continued all the way to the Hengzhou Bay Wharf, and it seemed that they did not intend to protect, but prepared to attack directly! β
"Well, let's go check it out!"
Xu Ning pushed open the door and walked out, the pace was very fast, Xu Tianyang couldn't keep up with the running and jumping behind him.
Qingfeng City, it was only a night of relaxation, and people who were well-informed already knew that the huge city was quiet at the moment, and the eastern sky had cleared, but no one appeared on the street.
"Have the other five families already notified?" Xu Ning asked as he ran down the street.
"There is no need to notify at all, Senior Ouyang has also been on duty at the city gate. The people of the other four major families have reported the news, and now except for the demon beasts of the Hundred Beast Gate, the other clan soldiers are moving towards the city gate. β
"There's no need at all!" Xu Ningyi frowned and said, "You go and inform the people of the other four major families now, just guard your own house, and leave a little force at the city gate." βγ
"No, Brother Xu Ning!" Xu Tianyang asked in surprise. "The other party is hundreds of thousands of people, and the city is surrounded and the water is impassable, and you are ......"
"Such a large Qingfeng City, with hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be attacked? It's a joke! Their purpose is not to get in, but to prevent us from escaping! Xu Ning said coldly, "After the main gate is blocked, the other roads are either impassable or very narrow, and only the main gate is a dry road and a complete waterway." β
"This ...... It's true? β
"Don't ask. Just go and let me know. Xu Ning quickened his pace and left Xu Tianyang behind.
When the first rays of sunlight shone in front of the city gate, Xu Ning jumped on the thousands, looked left and right, the city wall spread for dozens of miles, and it was already full of dense people! The clan soldiers of the five major families, plus the people under Ouyang's predecessors, reflected the weapons in their hands. The snow that illuminates the outside of the city walls.
Outside the city walls, people are even denser. The uniform of the army is neat, and the weapons in the hands are also uniform.
This is the most deterrent scene, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the army may not be very strong, but the sense of oppression is extraordinary. Just looking at those dense weapons is enough to make people tremble.
Gang fights and army fights are two different things!
"The army of the Eastern Continent Empire?" After Xu Ning jumped on the city wall. The first time I saw this situation, of course, this was what came to mind. However, when he carefully discerned it, he couldn't help but provoke a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.
Although the armor is all from the Dongzhou Imperial Army, so are the weapons. But the flag is not.
It turned out to be people from the Chiba family, but it wouldn't be wrong to say that they were the Imperial Army, these people were originally people who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. Of the ten soldiers in the Imperial Army now, at least five are members of the Chiba family, and the other four are trained by the Chiba family.
There is another type of people, that is, people from major families who have served in the imperial army, Xu Ning's father Xu Lie, who used to be like this.
"Senior Ouyang, patriarchs, you came early!"
Xu Ning jumped lightly and jumped onto the city tower directly above the city gate, and the five people were looking down with solemn expressions.
Who said that he was not nervous and pretended, from his youth to the present beard, he has not seen such a scene for decades, and these hundreds of thousands of troops are coming for themselves!
"Xu Ning, your movements are a little slow!" Lin Wudi said a little unhappily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't sleep all night, and I finally waited for this moment." Xu Ning smiled slightly.
"This is not a good thing, the soldiers are coming to the city, I'm afraid I will fight to the death of a fish!" Ouyang Zhantian said sternly.
"No, it's not that strict." Xu Ning said, "Seniors, don't be too nervous, these people won't attack the city." β
The five people turned their faces to look at Xu Ning at the same time, and asked in unison, "How do you know?!" β
"Because their purpose is not to rush in, but to prevent us from getting out." Xu Ning leaned on the window and looked out, sneered and said, "If people know that the imperial army slaughtered the people in the city, what will the other cities think?" They will definitely not be able to kill the people here, as long as the news leaks a little, then the entire Dongzhou Empire will be shaken! β
"Then why are these people still making a big fuss?" Duanmu Shangpu asked puzzled.
"If I'm right, it's an excuse to kill traitors or something. However, these people are not the army of the empire at all, but the people of the Chiba family. Seniors, don't be fooled. β
"The Chiba family, no, how dare they!"
The others didn't mention it, and Lin Wudi's expression suddenly became very angry!
Lin Wuving's temper is the same as his age, he is getting bigger and bigger, no matter how powerful the Chiba family is, he is just on an equal footing with himself, and now he is attacking Qingfeng City under the banner of the Dongzhou Empire, which is unbearable!
"But it doesn't matter." Xu Ning scratched his head and said with a smile: "Anyway, we are already seen as a rebellion!" β
"Huh?!"
"You won't forget, you have agreed to the matter of the Continental Alliance, andβ" Xu Ning pointed to the top of his head. said: "The flag of the Continental Alliance has been hoisted!" β
"Wouldn't it!?"
"It's true, we're already rebels." Xu Ning looked down coldly, "At least, in their eyes, we are rebels!" β
Ouyang Zhantian didn't care, and the other four people looked a little complaining.
"Alas, Xu Ning. Why don't you talk to us about it? Duanmu Shangpu said.
Ouyang Zhantian's face sank, and he said, "Duanmu Shangpu, aren't you afraid?" If you're scared, it's okay, you can go out of the city and surrender now! However, one of the things that the old man went out to do was to kill you! β
Duanmu Shangpu was suddenly angry and roared, "Ouyang Zhantian! If you dare to insult me like this again, I don't care if you are the leader of the alliance or not! I'm going to fight with you now! Lao Tzu never knew how to write afraid words?! β
"Haha, that's because you don't read much! Can't read! Lin Wushu said.
"Shut up ......"
"Haha!"
The laughter quickly washed away the gloom and hesitation that plagued people's hearts, and the clan soldiers on the city wall were also nervous. After hearing the laughter of several patriarchs, he immediately calmed down.
"What's going on, it seems that everyone in charge is happy!"
"They're not afraid, what are we afraid of!"
"That's it, and Xu Ning is also there, he definitely won't lose."
The atmosphere on the city walls also became lively, and some people even began to laugh loudly about the weapons that were lined up below. The fear slowly faded.
"Xu Ning, what should I do next. Are you going out to meet the enemy? Lin Wushu raised his eyebrows and said.
"No, you don't." Xu Ning smiled slightly, and said, "Evacuate everyone, inform the people in Qingfeng City, don't open the city gate, but just operate as usual on the street." Up to three days. These bastards are going to leave. β
"What, get everyone out?!" Lin Wudi looked at several other people and said that he didn't understand.
"Yes, not a single one!"
"What if they come in!"
"Don't worry, I promise that no one will dare to approach the city gates!" Xu Ning said coldly.
Lin Wudi and the others hesitated for a moment. In the end, he obeyed Xu Ning's arrangement.
Although Ouyang Zhantian is the leader of the alliance, the person who really speaks counts is actually Xu Ning.
The early morning sun shone on a huge, black flag, which was marked by a six-family coat of arms around the coiling dragon emblem, and the breeze was blowing, and the flag kept fluttering.
The banner of the Continental Alliance is set up at the head of Qingfeng City openly!
"Come on, let me see what else you have up to your sleeve!"
Half an hour later, the city wall was already empty, except that the city gate was not opened, pedestrians slowly appeared on the street, and before noon, the lively and prosperous scene overcame the trembling mood, and the people in Qingfeng City felt that these days were like being in the clouds, rising up and falling for a while, not knowing what would happen tomorrow.
There was only one person left on the entire city wall, and that was Xu Ning.
He kept an eye on the movement below the castle tower, and the neatly arranged army of the Chiba family stood still like clay sculptures. They seemed to be waiting for something, and this silence made Xu Ning feel that ominous premonition.
That's right, the night of not sleeping is not because of the siege of the city.
The things that really make me nervous have not yet appeared.
What exactly?
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a ringing arrow shot out from the army below!
Xu Ning saw a ray of light quickly approaching him, shot like lightning, and grabbed the ringing arrow in mid-air.
The sound of the arrow means that there is no danger, Xu Ning took it and put it in his hand, there was not even an arrow on it, but there was a strip of cloth tied to the arrow.
"Believe it?" Xu Ning frowned.
Sure enough, it was a letter, but there were very few words written on it.
"Dismiss the Xu family and sacrifice your own head! If not, the whole house will be slashed! Tomorrow afternoon, deadline! β
Xu Ning touched his head and said to himself: "I still like to stay on my neck, and I'm afraid I don't plan to give it to you for the time being." β
As he spoke, he looked up and looked down, and at this time, he suddenly found that the soldiers of the Chiba family had separated a gap, and several familiar faces appeared in the crowd!
Uncle Xu Wuchen and his son Xu Tiangang, second uncle Xu Wuyuan and his son Xu Tianyou!
The four of them were tied up with flowers, and there were a lot of scars on their faces, especially Xu Tianyou, his face was pale, because he was crippled by Xu Tianqing in the last family trial, he couldn't bear such a beating!
"Bang!" Xu Ning smashed his fist on the city wall!
"Bastard, no wonder you are so confident, it turns out that you kidnapped our Xu family!" Xu Ning's anger burned brightly.
But it's strange, didn't Tianyang send a letter, how could he still be plotted?!
At this time, a person appeared in the crowd, and Xu Ning's anger suddenly reached the fixed point!
"You bastard! It turns out you're playing tricks! (To be continued......)
