Chapter 253: The Wind Blows
"It's so dark here. Xue Ren muttered to himself in his heart, and with his own eyes, he couldn't see where the edge of the wall was.
"Watch your step, Your Highness. Meng Xiang took a torch from the wall and walked out of the passage.
The light of the fire was unusually messy under the storm, and the dense wind and snow seemed to be tired of the cold and gathered towards the torches.
Xue Ren saw the dark abyss at his feet with the help of the firelight. Before I knew it, I was already on the edge, but fortunately I didn't move forward again.
"Grab the torches, the walls here aren't the stones of the Inner Realm. β
Meng Xiang handed the torch to Xue Ren, and could clearly see that there were several open wounds on the back of his hand, not knowing if it was frostbite or because he had fought against the monsters.
"Where should I go now?" Xue Ren held the torch and lit up the edge abyss at his feet, and he couldn't see anything but the snowflakes flying in the sky.
"Come with me, this faΓ§ade isn't particularly big. β
Meng Xiang didn't have to rely on the torch to illuminate at all, he had already remembered everything here in his heart, even if he closed his eyes, unless someone deliberately framed him, he would definitely not stumble and fall.
"This prince is also bold, and the ordinary nobles are estimated to have been paralyzed on the ground with fright just now. Meng Xiang thought to himself, but this also gave him some good feelings towards the prince. After all, Frozen City is not a place for sightseeing
"Aren't there any soldiers left here?" Xue Ren hadn't found any figures since the beginning, did he just rely on irregular patrols to identify if there was a demon invasion?
"I'll see them in a moment. Meng Xiang paused and glanced at the darkness below.
"Who's there?" Xue Ren also looked in the direction Meng Xiang was looking, but apart from some orange snowflakes, he couldn't see anything else in the darkness.
"It's the Wind Ghost. Meng Xiang continued to walk his own way, "Probably sent to spy on intelligence." β
"There are scouts among the monsters?" "Xue Ren had heard of it for the first time, and this ghost would have a strategy?
"Those monsters in the Inner Realm are not as good as these beasts, they are much smarter. Meng Xiang turned his back to Xue Ren and looked solemn, "I heard that they still have their own king." It's just that no one has seen it in hundreds of years. β
"The King of Monsters?" Xue Ren looked at the darkness, vaguely as if he had seen a pair of blue lights in the darkness.
"Then I'd like to see you. β
"The king of the human empire and the king of the demons greet each other?" Meng Xiang laughed, "I can't imagine it at all. β
While the two were chatting, Xue Ren felt something approaching and grabbed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, but at the same time, in the darkness on both sides, two cold rays pierced the protection of the flames and hung above his head.
"Feng Che, Ji Yuan......" Meng Xiang already knew about them, but he didn't speak just now just to see what Xue Ren would do.
"General Meng, who is this person?" the two of them showed their faces from the darkness, and they looked at Xue Ren curiously, "Could it be that the general specially found us to replace us?"
"This is Xue Ren, the prince of our Xinghua Kingdom. You two ......."
"Prince!?" The two looked at Xue Ren in shock and looked at the king's sword at his waist. "We thought it was a wind ghost touching it, and we asked Your Highness not to blame. β
Xue Ren shook his head, "It's okay, but I'm really surprised that you two are wearing such heavy armor and can still move so quickly." I can't even draw my sword. β
Feng Che scratched his head, but his palm didn't seem to be able to reach it, just hung in the air, and laughed awkwardly, "We're just used to it." β
"Just now you said that you wanted His Royal Highness the Prince to replace the two of you?" Meng Xiang looked at them with a smile
"No, no, no, how dare I let His Royal Highness the Prince replace us. Ji Yuan immediately retorted, "We just want to go back and spend the New Year with our brothers." β
"Go ahead, I approve it. After Meng Xiang said this, the two of them didn't react for a while
"General, do you mean really?"
"Of course it's true, you two will go to the Frozen City for dinner first. His Royal Highness and I will be here to help you guard it" Meng Xiang looked at Xue Ren, "How about it, Your Royal Highness." β
"Absolutely. "Xue Ren didn't have much interest in the banquet, anyway, the soldier he wanted to see wouldn't run away.
"His Royal Highness the prince has said okay, what are you still standing here?" Meng Xiang glared at them, "Do you still want to go to the banquet, mother-in-law and mother are like a girl." β
"Then ......" Feng Toru glanced at Ji Yuan, "and we will go to ......"
"Let's go. The two of them turned around in three steps, and after two or three turns, they had already disappeared into the darkness.
Xue Ren naturally understood that Meng Xiang was trying to embarrass himself and wanted him to leave as soon as possible.
"It's just the two of them stationed on the outer wall?"
"There are dozens of brothers, but they are not very lucky, and I am afraid that they will have to stay here tonight. β
Meng Xiang came to the edge of the city wall, and there were many claw marks on the outer wall, which were visible under the light of the fire.
"When was the last monster invasion?" Xue Ren stretched out his frostbitten fingers and touched the ice barrier behind him, looking up at himself, wondering if this thing was really leading directly to the sky.
"The most recent time, if it's small, was just now. Meng Xiang pointed straight ahead, "Before you came to Frozen City, there were more than a dozen long-beaked dogs who tried to sneak up on us. β
"Long-mouthed dog?" Xue Ren smiled, who named this name so joyfully.
Meng Xiang couldn't laugh, although the name of this beast was funny but very dangerous. There were more than a dozen brothers who defended the city because they died.
"Since His Highness intends to stay in Frozen City, he will also come to the city wall every once in a while to patrol the garrison, just like the other warriors. β
"Of course, that's why I'm here. However, I brought 80,000 soldiers with me this time, and I don't know when the monster cold wave will blow. β
Meng Xiang walked forward, where there was a cauldron that was burning with flames.
"Believe me, Your Highness would never like to see such a scene. It's been sixteen years...... To this day, I still hope that the cold wave will not blow. β
Xue Ren didn't know what else was in that cold wave, but he could see something from Meng Xiang's face.
A strong wind blew from a distance as if in response to Xue Ren's call.
The flames on the torches were extinguished instantly, leaving only the fire in the pot still struggling to support it
