159 Afraid of Lao Tzu
The gate of the courtyard was not bolted, and the lights in the house were extinguished.
After killing Zheng Taiyuan last night, Zhuzhu Su Ning'er went to the Zheng family with a hundred city guards and the men and horses of the five major families.
Ye Haotian didn't go to that battle, and from Su Ning'er's account after he came back, he also had a detailed understanding of the battle situation.
Killing Zheng is really a last resort.
At this point, Ye Haotian and Xu Heihu's positions are the same. The siege of the demon army is a matter of tens of thousands of lives, there is no hidden danger allowed in the city, no one dares to take this risk, since the Zheng family has had close contacts with the demon clan, since he wants to use Ye Haotian to pray for the clan, then he should be killed.
In order to prepare for the next day's battle, Ye Haotian asked Zhuzhu Su Ning'er to return to the small courtyard in advance, whether it was sleeping or practicing, they needed to appear on the battlefield in the most peak state. In this battle, they will become the main force.
......
The fiery red sun rises from the east, and Quicksand City ushers in a new day.
The cheerful and lively atmosphere in the city has long been gone, and in the roaring war drums, all the adult men in the city have gathered in front of the city lord's mansion, and a dozen soldiers have taken out bundles of swords, guns and armor from the armory, and the men have received the weapons in their hands and run to the school field not far away under the leadership of several school officers, where they will receive temporary combat training and learn the most basic combat skills.
Battlefield against the enemy, different from the market hooligans fighting, but also different from the cultivator's dueling, in the melee, except for a few strong people who have cultivated to a high level, no matter how fancy the move skills are all decorations, only the simplest chopping is the foundation of killing the enemy, for the border people who have been trying to survive in the wasteland for a long time, these actions are not difficult to master, what they have to learn is how to exert their strength to the extreme when they make a knife, increase the speed to the fastest, smash the stone harder, and shoot the bow and crossbow farther.
Time passed bit by bit, the fiery red sun turned into a scorching sun, and the long projection left on the ground by the North Gate Tower was slowly shortening, and all the soldiers and ordinary cultivators in the city who could participate in the battle gathered under the walls of the North Gate, silently waiting for the upcoming bloody battle. It's just that the first thing that came to their ears was not the muffled trumpet sound of the demon army, but a tremor of hooves and feet. The sound was like the earth suddenly turned into a huge drum, someone kept beating the drum with a drumstick, the roar was coming from the front, but it came from the ground, some small sand and stones kept jumping up, and the tiles on several old houses fell one after another, and when the tremor turned into shaking, there was a bang in the distance, and an old wall fell to the ground.
Ye Haotian stood on the city tower, looking at a demon army approaching like a torrent in the distance, knowing that his conjecture had finally been confirmed, but when he saw the number of demon reinforcements and the two huge figures following behind, his pupils tightened slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"You're right, it's really a siege beast. Xu Heihu was dressed in battle armor and holding a steel gun, standing beside Ye Haotian, with a nervous look on his rugged face, "But you didn't guess one thing, it's not one, it's two." ”
Ye Haotian understood what Xu Heihu meant, smiled, and said, "Or, let's divide the two?"
Xu Heihu ignored Ye Haotian's ridicule, he took a deep breath, tried to suppress the tension in his heart, and said: "I didn't expect that the small quicksand city would attract nearly 10,000 blood skeleton legions to besiege it, even if it was killed, it would be worth it." ”
"Don't talk about death at every turn. Ye Haotian turned his head to look at Su Ning'er not far away, and found that she was staring at her beautiful big eyes, looking into the distance without blinking, not only did she not see the slightest look of fear on her face, but also faintly exuded excitement.
"Speaking of calmness, you have to learn more from Lord Su, you look at the people, not only are you not nervous, but you also look forward to it, if every Xia State sergeant is as brave as her, the demon clan will be wiped out long ago. ”
Xu Heihu also glanced at Su Ning'er along Ye Haotian's line of sight, and exclaimed: "She is worthy of being the daughter of King Liang, she has courage, if she can live, I will go to King Liang in the future, and if you have a daughter, you must have a father, what do you think?"
"Well, choose wisely. Ye Haotian nodded, suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Infant Nine is here." ”
In the camp of the demon army, the black chariot ran over the muddy land and came to the city tower again.
......
......
"Ye Haotian, I really didn't expect that after your identity as the son of the demon god was revealed, you would still be able to stay in the city, and this group of despicable fools doesn't seem to plan to hand you over. Ying Jiu stood on the chariot, his voice became harsher than yesterday, and his ugly face exuded a playful look.
Ye Haotian looked at Ying Jiu with a calm expression, and said lightly: "It's a pity, your plan fell through, aren't you disappointed?"
"Disappointed?" Infant Jiu chattered a few wild laughs, "When have you ever seen Jiu Ye bet on only one person? Don't say you didn't see the reinforcements behind me, don't tell me you're not afraid, don't regret it! To tell you the truth, Jiu Ye gave you a day to wait for the support of the demon marshal, and now that the reinforcements are coming, even if you want to run, it's too late, in the love of our brothers, I advise you not to be fearless to resist, go down to the city and follow me to see the demon lord, how about it?"
"Okay. Ye Haotian also smiled, "When I was on the island before, every time you saw me, you would bow your head and run to me like a dog, I thought that your cultivation was low and your strength was weak, and I was afraid that I wouldn't help you after being bullied by Bai Ze, so I scolded you every day for being cowardly and useless, not like a man, and later I learned that you deliberately hid your strength in order to get close to me and please me." ”
After a pause, Ye Haotian continued: "Today, you have also seen that none of these people on the city tower can beat you, since you want me to meet the demon lord with you, okay, I promise you, but there is a premise, that is, you have to come up and take me down in person, I can swear in the name of the gods of the heavenly realm, as long as you dare to go up to the city tower, the people behind me will never make a move on you, and I also promise to follow you, Ying Jiu, do you dare?"
There was silence on the city tower, only Ye Haotian's voice echoed in the air.
The corners of Ying Jiu's mouth twitched a few times, his miserable green eyes stared at Ye Haotian viciously, and his dead gray face was full of hatred.
Ye Haotian stood on the city tower and waited quietly for Ying Jiu's response, and when he saw the increasingly thick resentment in his eyes, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha...... You don't dare! You count Lao Tzu as the only one on the city tower, but you still don't dare, why? Because you are timid, you are cowardly, you are suspicious, you are afraid of death, these are your nature! Even if there is no one around Lao Tzu now, you dare not come up, why? The reason is very simple, you are afraid of Lao Tzu!
