Chapter 17: The Shadow of the Loyal Minister

The battlefield of Qianren City has been cleaned, but this once human city is now occupied by the beasts, and the emperor lion flag with a red lion on a white background is also hung at the head of the city.

Although the city is depressed, as the situation gradually calms down, it has somewhat regained some of its former vitality. The beast army, which was originally under the slogan of destroying the human race, seems to have changed its strategy after the battle on the banks of the shallow water river a few months ago, and changed its destruction to slavery.

However, most of the people who were sent into slavery were the troops who had defended the city before, and they would face endless labor, life and death; although the lives of the common people were much more miserable than before, they still had a way to live; as for some rich people, it was better to sell some things to live.

Meow Shadow is a part of the living moisture, Meow Shadow is not a Qianren City person, but just here, after the city was broken, through a series of negotiations, he saved his life, not to mention, the general who defended the city also gave him a little bit of power at hand. It's not that the general has any PY deal with him, but this Meow Shadow family seems to have a lot of background.

Meow Shadow plans to go to the previous city lord's mansion today to have a look.,The fire burned most of the mansion a while ago.,Now that place is a no-man's land.,I heard that many orcs have found treasures there.。 As for why he wanted to go, only he knew...

Passing through the sparsely populated shopping street, Meow Shadow came to the sacred place in the middle of the city.

As long as you have seen the men who Xiao Ya mobilized before the war, you will be impressed by her beautiful face and heroic temperament, and Meow Ying is one of them. He even wanted to be stubborn and go into battle to kill the enemy, if it wasn't for the old butler to stop him, maybe he would also be included in the slavery, but this did not stop him from still admiring the goddess-like figure, and this city lord's mansion where she once lived became a holy place that all men must defend to the death.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Meow Shadow sighed. Today's city lord's mansion has been burned down, not to mention, and the belongings in it have almost been emptied. Meow Shadow climbed the stairs to the former Imperial Guard Tower, the source of the fire. Standing on the burned bare floor and looking into the distance, surrounded by mountains and birds, it is a beautiful scene of mountains and rivers.

"Yo, it's still a little lady, come, how about accompanying the masters to have a drink. ”

Just as Meow Shadow was immersed in poetry, an obscene voice interrupted his thoughts. Meow followed the prestige, and saw that in the dilapidated house next to the Imperial Guard, several orcs were pulling a man wrapped in a long robe. To be honest, Meow Shadow is no longer surprised by such a thing, the orc army is either forced to buy and sell here, or rob, he feels that such a rule will definitely not last long, but he will not remind the city guards. So he shook his head and prepared to leave.

"Hmph. Don't let go of your claws, be careful that I cut it off. ”

A pleasant, cold voice came from under the hood, it was a female voice, and it was very familiar to Meow. Meow Shadow was shocked, it wouldn't be...

He stopped abruptly and looked at the figure. I saw that the woman pulled out the short sword hidden at her waist, and with a flash of cold light, the palm of one of the orcs fell in response.

"Whew!!"

The orc clutched his severed hand and exhaled in pain, and several people on the side saw that the situation was wrong, and they also drew their weapons and slashed at the woman. However, the woman's skills are obviously good, and she solved a few people in three strokes and five divided by two. However, the severed hand orc sounded the alarm in his hand before he died, and it is estimated that it will not be long before an orc army will come.

Meow Shadow jumped into the room, and when the woman saw that there were still people, she raised her short sword to slash, and Meow Shadow hurriedly waved her hand and shouted.

"Your Royal Highness! Slow!

For this haunting voice, how could Meow Shadow admit it wrong. Looking at the short sword that stopped by the woman opposite, Meow Ying knew that this woman must be Xiao Ya, the princess who went out of the city to ask for help.

Xiao Ya's vigilant eyes under the hood stared at Meow Shadow for a moment.

"Your Royal Highness, this is not the place to speak. You may not know that the orc you killed just now sounded the siren, a sound that we humans can't hear, only their orcs. It is estimated that it will not be long before someone will come here, so we might as well go first. ”

Meow Shadow is not afraid of the orc army, but if he is caught with the princess who is being captured by the whole beast clan with a bounty, then even if his father comes forward, it may be difficult to save himself.

Xiao Ya looked at Meow Ying suspiciously, she had been in the city for a few days, she naturally knew what the people in the city were doing, and she also knew what the lives of some rich people in the city were living. Looking at Meow Ying's well-dressed appearance, he is obviously one of the rich people. Although everyone has their own way of living, she has always looked down on this kind of person who sells his interests to survive.

"Click"

In the distance, the sound of armor clashing and neat footsteps could be heard, and it seemed that there were many regular orc troops. Meow Ying glanced at Xiao Ya, who was still hesitating, and directly took her hand and ran out of the house. Seeing him suddenly act like this, Xiao Ya raised her short sword, and finally shook off Meow Shadow's hand, put the sword into its sheath, and ran with him.

Inside a house somewhere in the city

"Your Highness, you can rest assured that there will be no beast army in this place to investigate. After the investigation in the city slows down a bit, I will arrange for you to go out of the city, what do you think? Meow Ying looked at the goddess who was close at hand, and couldn't help blushing and her heart beat faster.

He is also a masterpiece among people, his appearance and martial arts are the best choice, and there are naturally women around him, but no one can enter his eyes. The baby family set for him, he was also a little resistant, so he would appear in this remote Qianren City. And after seeing Xiao Ya in Qianren City, Meow Ying secretly made up her mind that she would not marry this girl in this life, even if she was lonely for the rest of her life!

Xiao Ya looked at the man in front of her and hesitated, although she was confident that she could go out of the city, but she was a little confused about where to go out of the city. In the few days she was in the city, she naturally saw her own bounty orders posted everywhere. She is still in the city only because she wants to see how her mother and grandmother are doing, but she gets the news that her grandmother has set herself on fire in the city and her mother's whereabouts are unknown. She went to the pillar all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to do now.

Seeing that this man is gorgeously dressed, he may have some privileges in the orcs, maybe he can help find his mother, but this is a little contradictory to her original behavior, which makes her very difficult. And it's still unclear what the man's intentions were.

"You, what's your name? Xiao Ya couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time, and finally decided to take it one step at a time.

"My name is Meow Shadow. "Meow Shadow is still suave.

"Well, Meow Shadow, there's something I want to trouble you. ”

"Your Highness, but it's okay to speak, don't use the word trouble. Meow was a little flattered

"Huh. I would like to ask you to inquire about my mother's whereabouts. Xiao Ya said.

"The whereabouts of the mistress... Please feel free to leave it to you. Meow Ying was stunned for a moment, and then pounded his chest and said.

"Yes. It's hard work. ”

"If you can serve Your Highness, you will never give up. "Meow Shadow will not pass up any opportunity to show his loyalty.

Xiao Ya looked at the big boy in front of her with a smile and sighed secretly, the human race is still united after all.

"By the way, can you tell me about the current situation? I don't know what's going on these days because of some things. Xiao Ya suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Meow Ying sat down on a stool next to her and began to talk to Xiao Ya about some things after she left.

"Not long after His Highness left, Qianren City was lost. Then the orc marshal took the people to the Valley of the Gods, but in the end he retreated, and it is said that he was repelled by three warriors. In fact, everyone saw the situation that day, and the three pillars of light that soared into the sky were really not small. Originally, everyone didn't know much about the warriors, but just a few days ago, the orc territory issued a decree that anyone who provided news of the warriors would be treated as a lord of the orcs, and everyone knew that the pillar of light that day was the arrival of the warriors, so now many people are beginning to look for the whereabouts of the warriors. ”

Meow Ying glanced at Xiao Ya when he said this, and now a few people know that the concubine of Wang Guan Xiao's three families is the one who summons warriors, and he is one of them. He didn't know how Xiao Ya would react when he heard that the Terrans were helping the Orcs deal with the warriors. However, Xiao Ya seemed very calm and did not have anything unusual, so he continued.

"The last time someone provided information about what was suspected to be the Warrior's whereabouts was in the Exiled Lands. There are not only the beast clan's strange baboons, but also the soul chasing bell General Galie, but they are only more likely to be there, after all, there are also many people who say that they have seen warriors in other places. After the beast clan annexed the three southeastern kingdoms, the territory accounted for almost half of the Valan, I think there will be a war between the demon and beast races sooner or later, and it will be the time for our human race to rise again. ”

Xiao Ya was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Meow Ying with some puzzlement. Meow Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly after seeing Xiao Ya's eyes.

"Your Highness, don't associate me with a snob who sells his country for glory, my current situation is only the result of my father's mediation, and I don't like savage beasts. If His Highness starts an incident in the future, Meow Ying is willing to be a pawn. ”

Xiao Ya also felt the sincerity and determination in Meow Ying's tone, she felt that she seemed to have blamed him before, and she couldn't help but slow down her attitude towards him a lot.

"Yes, thank you. Xiao Ya got up and picked up the somewhat emotional Meow Shadow.

"What do you think we should do now? Xiao Ya asked Meow Ying for some reason.

Meow Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, feeling that this was a good omen, and he also felt the change in His Royal Highness's attitude towards him, which made him very encouraged.

"Now that the warriors have come, I think we can secretly gather the strength of the Terrans inside, and contact the warriors outside. If the news of the Exiled Land is true, the warriors should want to take a detour to Xingyao Continent, and if they can borrow the power of Xingyao Continent, the recovery of our human race will be smoother. ”

Xiao Ya listened to Meow Ying's analysis, and felt that it made sense, this is a very resourceful person, Xiao Ya thought.

"Then let's go to Xingyao Continent to meet the warriors?" Xiao Ya asked tentatively.

Meow Shadow touched his chin and fell into deep thought, in fact, he didn't know whether to make peace with the warriors, not to mention how many difficulties there were in the past, there were also advantages and disadvantages to finding peace with the warriors, if he went, then the matter of secretly gathering forces in the territory of the beasts would have to be handed over to others;

"Your Highness, don't you think this will work, we have traveled all the way from the territory of the beast clan to Xingyao Continent, and secretly gathered forces in various former human cities along the way, and handed them over to the leaders of trusted people, and after the warriors converged, we waited for the opportunity to rise up. Meow Shadow thought for a moment and said.

Xiao Ya felt that this was also a feasible plan, so she agreed.

"Then I won't disturb His Highness's rest, and I'll bring some food over later. Meow Shadow saw that it was getting late, and said goodbye.

Xiao Ya nodded gratefully, and after watching Meow Shadow leave, she fell into deep thought as she stroked the reddish-brown box she had found in front of the Imperial Guardian today.
