Chapter 108 The rivers and lakes are deep, how many people drowned

A great war is on the verge of breaking out, without warning, and with great brutality.

The 80,000 defenders of Aries City were almost all dispatched, but they couldn't stop the black army of only 800 people, and after the city gate was broken, Mo Zhan waved his hand, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

At the same time, the 800 people changed their strategy, 300 people rushed to kill in front of them, opened the way for the carriage, 200 people on each side defended separately, and 100 people in the rear broke the rear.

In such a large-scale chaotic battle, accidental injuries are inevitable, and some people who came to see the excitement died inexplicably under the knife.

As the carriage continued to advance, the three hundred Zhaoshen troops in front of them decreased at a visible rate, and the Zhaoshen troops on both sides also suffered casualties, and only the last hundred were saved. But in fact, everyone knows very well that in the end, the worst will be these 100 people, and maybe not even one of them will survive.

Upstairs in Nancheng, Gu Huating looked at the convoy that was constantly moving away, he didn't do anything superfluous, the order had been issued, what would be the next result, he could only resign himself to fate.

Although there are also many guests in the General's Mansion to worship, even if they are taken out, it is not of much significance, in such a large-scale battle, unless there is a team composed of hundreds or even thousands of strong people, one or two strong people are of little significance.

At this point, he actually admired the Huaxia Empire, and there were still two armies that could establish such a powerful army.

As a commander-in-chief, no one doesn't want to have such an army under his command.

Watching the powerhouses of the Zhaoshen Army calmly go to their deaths one by one, Su Xiaoqi did not deliberately avoid it, and his face was not moved, not because he was hard-hearted, but because he already knew that this would be the result.

If these 800 people are dead and they haven't left Aries City, then Mo Zhan will die, Chu Xiangyu will die, Ma Dongping and Liu Dali will die, and they will also die.

In the end, the three hundred Zhaoshen troops in front paid half the price and let the convoy come to the north city gate.

This time, Mo Zhan and Chu Xiangyu shot at the same time, and the one hundred Zhaoshen troops in the rear also began to decrease at a faster speed, and when the north city gate finally broke, the one hundred Zhaoshen troops were all killed, and fifty people were drawn from each side to block the north city gate, giving Su Xiaoqi and the others time to go north.

The carriage pulls out of Aries City, and the battle ends.

Of the 800 Zhaoshen troops, more than half of them were lost, and all of them were killed in battle, and not a single wounded.

As for the losses of the 80,000 defenders of Aries City, it no longer makes any sense.

Because as long as Su Xiaoqi is still alive, no matter how much the God Army loses, it will be considered a victory, but the price paid for such a victory is too great.

After leaving Aries City, Su Xiaoqi stayed in the carriage, rarely showed up, occasionally spoke, and only instructed the little boy on some talisman essentials, and then continued to sleep.

His current body can only be repaired by the difference in the speed of time between the dream world and the real world.

At this rate, after walking for about two days, you will be able to enter the boundary of Qingshan City, and there will be no more changes in the next journey.

Regarding the matter of Qichao Mountain, Su Xiaoqi had to ask Sima Jia first, according to Chu Xiangyu, Sima Jia was not in the three cities of Qingshan, Huayang, and Yishui, but in the Hundred Flowers Valley in the north of Yunshang City, and was fully responsible for all matters related to that ruin.

In other words, if Su Xiaoqi wanted to see Sima Jia, he had to nod his head and go east and go to Yunshang City first.

Along the way, the price paid was too great, and Su Xiaoqi didn't want to go through another Aries City.

The number of the Shลshin Army is really limited, and not so many people can die.

But if you want to go to Qingshan City, then to Huayang City, and then from Huayang City to Baihua Valley, after several turnovers, with your current physical condition, I am afraid that it will be a few months later, and Su Xiaoqi will not be able to wait that long.

Of course, he could also directly ask Sima Jia to come to Qingshan City to see him, Sima Jia would not refuse, but he had to let go of what he was doing.

According to Sima Jia, that relic is particularly important to the Chinese Empire, and Su Xiaoqi will not delay the major affairs of the empire for his own private affairs.

Therefore, if you want to see Sima Jia and ask about Qichaoshan in person, the best way is to hide your identity and secretly go to the city through the clouds.

Therefore, the remaining more than 400 Zhaoshen troops were personally led by Mo Zhan and continued to go north to Qingshan City, just in case, the carriage that Su Xiaoqi was riding also followed, and asked Ma Dongping to pretend to be Su Xiaoqi.

And the father and son also went to Qingshan City together, so there were only Liu Dali and Chu Xiangyu on Su Xiaoqi's side.

According to Chu Xiangyu's arrangement, Su Xiaoqi's current identity is the son of a big family in the south of Sumeru, and he came out this time to see the ancient ruins that suddenly appeared.

And Ma Dongping is also Su Xiaoqi's coachman, as for Chu Xiangyu, of course, he plays the role of a maid.

In addition, some of the espionage and some identity certificates required for customs clearance, Chu Xiangyu had already prepared, and nothing was omitted.

The three of them did not encounter any obstacles and entered the Cloud City unimpeded.

Because of the ancient ruins, today's Cloud City is really crowded and lively.

And in the north of Cloud City, all the defenders were in full array, looking like a great enemy, and they did not dare to slack off for a moment, because in the north of Cloud City, a large army of the Chinese Empire was stationed.

Although on the surface, this army came for the relics of the Valley of Hundred Flowers, no one dared to guarantee that it was just a cover for the Huaxia Empire.

Of course, since this ruin appeared near Cloud City, there was no reason for the Sumeru Kingdom to give it to others, and sent troops to rob it several times, but it was a pity that with the intervention of the Zhaoshen Army, the Outer Heavenly Machine Pavilion operated from it, and each time it was in vain, and the losses were heavy.

And those strong people who come here, Yunshang City will not stop them, so as long as someone says that they want to go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers, Yunshang City will directly let them go, they wish that these strong people would have a conflict with the Huaxia Empire, it is best to fight, and in the end, it is them who pick up the cheapest.

So when Su Xiaoqi and the three of them said that they were going to Baihua Valley, Yunshang City directly let them go, regardless of the identities of the three of them.

This made Su Xiaoqi a little stunned, he originally thought that there would be a lot of trouble when he passed through Cloud City, but he never thought it would be as simple as that.

In the mountains and forests north of Cloud Castle, there are no trees to be seen now, apparently because of the battle, the original green mountains have turned into plains.

It's just that along the way, there is no desolation after the battle, on the contrary, the flow of people is like a tide, coming and going.

There are even people who have done business here, and all kinds of tea sheds and wine shops have emerged in an endless stream, and each of them has a hot business, which makes people have to sigh, it is really difficult to kill money.

Su Xiaoqi and the three of them were dusty and tired all the way, and now they are finally about to arrive at Baihua Valley, which means that they have no worries at all, so they stopped in front of a tea shed.

In the tea shed, there are mostly some women, because the men have gone to the wine shop, in this situation, if a big man comes in to drink tea, will not be laughed at.

Of course, some old people are exceptions, such as in this tea shed, there is an old man, and beside him, there is a little girl of seven or eight years old.

When Su Xiaoqi walked in, he attracted the attention of many people, but he just glanced at it lightly and didn't look at it anymore.

Because this guy is pale, weak to walk, and looks like he is seriously ill, if such a person still drinks, then he really doesn't want to live.

It's just that people can't help but slander, these are all dying people, it's not very good to wait quietly for death, and they come here to join in the fun.

Su Xiaoqi casually picked up a table and sat down, a woman carried a kettle, walked up with a smile on her face, skillfully opened three big white bowls, and the teapot in her hand was lifted, and there were suddenly three more bowls of mellow tea on the table.

The woman asked the three of them if they needed anything to eat, and Chu Xiangyu casually ordered a few servings, and the woman left with a smile, busy but with a smile on her face.

No one will be angry with money.

Su Xiaoqi lifted the tea bowl and was just about to take a sip to moisten his throat, but the tea bowl was handed to his mouth, but his brows were furrowed.

A team of people galloped by, and the sky was suddenly full of dust, and the tea shed was simple, almost completely open-air, so naturally it could not cover the dust, so the guests' bowls were quickly covered with a layer.

The surrounding guests just poured out the tea in the bowl, added a bowl of their own, and continued to drink tea and chat, not caring about it.

Su Xiaoqi suddenly remembered what Fang Xingwen had said, "They are all from the rivers and lakes, and they don't pay so much attention to it." He couldn't help but smile knowingly, and also learned from those guests, poured out the tea in the tea bowl, and added another bowl himself.

At the same time, the old man over there got up suddenly, shook his sleeves, and actually shook out a folding fan, and after coughing, he said loudly: "Guests from the south to the north, have you ever heard of Su Xiaoqi, the seventh prince of the Chinese Empire?"

Originally, there were mostly women here, and they all raised their heads at this moment, and did not answer, but they all nodded.

When Su Xiaoqi heard someone talk about himself, he naturally raised his eyes, and after seeing such an old man, he let down his vigilance.

This kind of person, Su Xiaoqi has seen before, it is nothing more than relying on some of the latest news to add fuel and vinegar to earn a few copper coins.

On the mainland, they are collectively referred to as storytellers.

Because of the existence of such people, some news will spread very quickly and far away, but after processing, and then hearing it in the ears, it will become heroic deeds, epic legends.

But in fact, it is very different from the real event, and it is even irrelevant.

Su Xiaoqi took a sip of tea gently, wanting to hear what the old man was going to say about himself.

The old man first said something about Su Xiaoqi's battle with the big demon, and some of the details were unbelievable even when Su Xiaoqi heard it, and he couldn't help but be vigilant again.

He only listened to the old man's eloquent talk, but he didn't add any fuel or vinegar, as if he had seen the battle with his own eyes.

Those women listened to it one by one, and their faces were full of yearning, but Su Xiaoqi's face was heavy.

This old man is not a master who hides deeply, is the purpose himself?

Over there, the little girl was holding a big white bowl, and after walking around, she was suddenly full, and the old man's eyes were crooked with a smile, and she worked harder to tell the story, and her spit was splashing.

After he finished the battle of the big demon, he talked about what happened after Su Xiaoqi came back, starting from the foot of Zixia Sect Mountain, until he was surrounded and killed, and then to the appearance of the Zhaoshen Army, all the way to the north......

Everything is said to be true.

Su Xiaoqi lowered his voice and asked, "Can you see this person's heels?"

Chu Xiangyu had actually been watching this person closely, and after hearing Su Xiaoqi's question, he shook his head, "With my strength, I can't see anything, this person is either super strong without a mirror parting, or an ordinary storyteller." โ€

Su Xiaoqi nodded, relaxing a lot.

Chu Xiangyu is a real star gathering mirror powerhouse, if he can't even see Chu Xiangyu, then this person should just be an ordinary person.

Even if this person is really a deeply hidden powerhouse, then if he wants to be unfavorable to himself, he can't change anything in the current situation.

After the old man finished the story, he took the money and left the tea shed.

Su Xiaoqi kept watching the backs of the two leaving, and when the two were completely far away, Su Xiaoqi was completely relieved.

It's just that at the moment when he was about to withdraw his gaze, the little girl turned around, revealing two small tiger teeth, shining in the sun.

Su Xiaoqi's eyes widened suddenly, and the whole person almost fell backwards, one lost his mind, and then looked at it, people came and went, and there were still the figures of those two people.

Su Xiaoqi only felt a chill down his spine and shuddered.

If the old man is very deeply hidden, and even Chu Xiangyu can't see it, Su Xiaoqi can still accept it, but such a seven or eight-year-old girl, could it be that she is also the strong person who has no delusion?

If it weren't for that, how could she possibly find herself looking at them, and if it wasn't, how could she suddenly have such a meaningful smile?

Or did you see hell in broad daylight?

The women around have begun to whisper, talking about the whispers between some women, sometimes with a youthful face, sometimes with a soft and shy face.

What they said was nothing more than themselves, but how did they know that they were the seventh son they thought of.

Su Xiaoqi suddenly sighed, and looked at the direction in which the old and the young left.

Perhaps, he is to these two people what these women are to himself.

Sure enough, this river and lake is far from being as simple as it seems, and I don't know how many such and such people have drowned.

He lifted the tea bowl and drank it in one gulp, stabilizing his mind, it seems that if he has the opportunity in the future, he will have to take a good trip to the rivers and lakes.

In the distance, the crowd was chaotic, and many people began to retreat without stopping, then turned and fled in confusion.

The earth trembled like thunder.

A large army came in a mighty way, and everywhere it passed, whether it was a high-roller in the rivers and lakes or a monk on the mountain, they all retreated in unison.

Because this army is full of black armor.

When the army came to a tent ten feet away, it stopped neatly, and then a horse ran out alone, but this man was not wearing black armor, but a splendid robe.

When this man came to the teashed, he reined in his horse and held on, and then quickly turned over and dismounted, and greeted him: "Sima Jia, see the seventh prince." โ€

Su Xiaoqi got up and said, "Pavilion Master doesn't need to be polite. โ€

After that, Su Xiaoqi got into the carriage, but Sima Jia did not get on the horse, but just led the horse and followed the carriage.

In the tea shed, everyone's faces were full of shock, and they finally came back to their senses, and the carriage had disappeared into the black army.
