Chapter Seventy-Two: A Dream of Smoke and Spring
The residents of Three Rivers City, who were hiding at home, had always been nervously watching the situation outside, and a few days ago, when they learned that Lu Zixuan had led a large army to surround the Xiao family, they almost thought of Xiao Qiang. 【Reading.com】
They didn't expect Xiao Qiang to bring them another miracle, nor did they expect the Gentlemen's Alliance of the Ten Directions Sword Formation to appear here, they only hoped that Xiao Qiang could bring a little good luck and be able to drag Lu Zixuan and win time for the rescue of the imperial army.
However, things went even better than they expected, Lu Zixuan's 3,000-strong army was destroyed, the four elders died, Lu Zixuan also died, and Xiao Qiang actually entered the city?!
The enthusiastic citizens finally came out of their homes, armed with weapons, shouting slogans of invincibility, gathered together and began to fight for their homeland, their city!
The aristocratic families were shocked, until they saw the blue eagle banner waving again over the East City Gate, and finally believed the words of the elders of the Xiao family, and they all led the family warriors out to fight and launch a counterattack against the rebels guarding various important places.
The whole city boiled, as if it had been ignited, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
At dusk, almost all of the 3,000 rebels left in the city were annihilated, and the people of Trois-Rivières recaptured the city!
They didn't know that this hard-won victory was the only bright spot, a ray of light in the defeat of the Blue Eagle Principality.
It was precisely because of this battle that the entire plan of the Jade Dragon army was interrupted and a precious respite was won for the crumbling Blue Eagle.
The City Lord's Mansion has become the base camp of the city protector at this moment, and in the quaint and gorgeous hall, the second master, Xiao Hongli, is full of spirits, and is describing every scene of their battle against Lu Zixuan to the representatives of various families.
Xiao Hongli has never been so beautiful as today, as the head of the Xiao family, as the leader of the defeat of Lu Zixuan's 3,000 army this time, he must become the leader of Three Rivers City.
Think about it, under his leadership, the defending army launched a devastating counterattack against the rebels, turning the tide, the Xiao family will not only become the home of the protector, but he Xiao Hongli, as the leader of the protector, will also go down in history and be worshiped by countless people!
The more Xiao Hongli thought about it, the more excited he became, and when the spitting stars were splashing around, suddenly a representative's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, making him sober up in an instant.
"Second master, we're not here to hear your story, we want to meet Xiao Qiang. The delegates had long been absent-minded, and the representative of the Lu family in the south of the city said solemnly, interrupting Xiao Hongli's story.
"Xiao Qiang, he is recuperating in the back garden, just tell me something. Xiao Hongli's gloomy face was full of smiles, but a faint cold light flashed in his eyes.
The representative of the Lu family did not detour around the bend, and said directly: "Second master, at this time, the people in the city are more willing to listen to people with luck, so Xiao Qiang is the most suitable person." We had already discussed before we came, the commander of the civil legion was Xiao Qiang, and as for the private soldiers of the aristocratic family, they were jointly led by the elders of our Lu family and the great elders of the Xiao family. ”
The delegates nodded their heads, then looked at the four elders sitting next to them.
Xiao Hongli's expression was angry, his face was red, he saw contempt in the eyes of everyone, saw ridicule, and even a few people lowered their heads, already chuckling, full of disdain.
Thinking of his impassioned performance just now, Xiao Hongli was embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.
His large hand gripped the armguards of the chair tightly before slowly releasing them for a moment.
The four elders had long been disappointed in Xiao Hongli, and now they were naturally happy to hear that the delegates were willing to support Xiao Qiang to take the position, but Xiao Qiang's side seemed to be still worried about the past.
Thinking of this, everyone was even more disgusted and even disgusted by Xiao Hongli's collusion with the Hedong family to persecute the uncle.
The Great Elder pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said cautiously: "Xiao Qiang is already exhausted from repeated bloody battles, especially when he was alone and assassinated Lu Zixuan, he was not lightly injured, so let's do it, everyone, Old Man Rong will discuss it with him first, Xiao Qiang is young after all, and the old man is afraid of any mistakes." ”
Everyone had long known about Xiao Qiang's feat of assassinating Lu Zixuan, and now when they heard the great elder "inadvertently" mention it, they all raised their thumbs and praised it.
After sending off the noble representatives, the four elders were excited, and came to the back garden with a smile, and saw Xiao Qiang standing there from a distance, the great elder shouted and stepped forward.
Later, Xiao Qiang had already washed off the blood stains on his body and put on a blue robe, except for a few scars on his clean face, he couldn't see any murderous aura, and Xiao Qiang was like two people before.
Seeing the four elders coming over with a smile on their faces, Xiao Qiang's gaze became cold, and he took out the black belt from the space bracelet and threw it directly to the Great Elder.
The joy on the face of the Great Elder Xiao Daolin gradually subsided, and he said suspiciously: "Xiao Qiang, what are you ......?"
Xiao Qiang said indiscriminately: "Great Elder, as soon as I left the manor, I was ambushed by the Lu family, and someone leaked the news in advance, so they set up an ambush in advance. If I hadn't been lucky, I'd have died in the woods!"
Xiao Daolin's eyes widened in shock, his face was full of murderous aura for a moment, his white hair danced without wind, and he roared angrily: "Who, who is it?!"
Several of the other elders were also furious, as if to show that this matter had nothing to do with them.
Xiao Qiang said lightly: "Great Elder, you once told me in person that you would not make a third mistake, and I also believed it, but we were all wrong. Who betrayed me, I don't care anymore, this is the last time I will fight for the Xiao family, and I will give you a word at the end, don't expect there to be reinforcements, there will be no reinforcements!"
With that, Xiao Qiang nodded to the four elders, turned around and strode away.
He already has a clear conscience about the Xiao family, he is not interested in knowing who betrayed him, he just wants to leave here as soon as possible.
I'm just a small person, a pawn to be manipulated by others, I can't change the situation, I can help the Xiao family and the people in the city, this is already my greatest ability.
Single-mindedly cultivating, regardless of the common people, the tasting meeting is my stage, only by conquering the genius elite of the cultivation world, the secular world will crawl under my feet.
Only by becoming strong can you protect yourself and protect those you care about!
Xiao Qiang let out a long roar, strode away without looking back, and disappeared into the darkness.
Several elders looked at the back of Xiao Qiang's departure, ashamed and angry, they couldn't stand Xiao Qiang, they were themselves, and they had to prevent someone behind them from plotting in front of them, I'm afraid they would also be chilled!
Great Elder Xiao Daolin burst into tears, holding a black belt, kneeling on the ground, lowering his white-haired head, and letting out a painful cry.
Outside Sanhe City, in a secret manor in the northern suburbs, Liu Yunyan was wearing white silk pajamas, lying on the bed, moaning nightmarishly from time to time.
In the dream, she would see Xiao Qiang slashing around with a sword, as powerful as a god of war, and sometimes she saw Xiao Qiang's clean and shy smile, and in the end, Xiao Qiang's bloody hand tore open her clothes, stroked and kneaded on her soft chest, and reached the inner thigh, making her weak and snorting rapidly.
When Xiao Qiang's strong body pressed against her body and entered the softest part of her body, Liu Yunyan woke up violently and sat up from the bed, her face flushed, **** undulating, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Miss, are you alright?" came the voice of an old woman outside.
"I'm fine. Liu Yunyan lay on the bed in a daze, recalling the scene in the dream that made her frightened and **, her breathing began to become heavy, her hands caressed her proud chest, and her two slender white legs were entangled together.
"Xiao Qiang, you said that you want to occupy me, do you dare?!" Liu Yunyan's eyes were fascinated, his teeth bit his red lips, his whole body tensed, and his two hands caressed his smooth skin, making a long and trembling gasping sound.
On the tenth day of the twelfth month, the people of Three Rivers City did not expect reinforcements, but they did expect the 20,000 troops of the Jade Dragon Principality.
Trois-Rivières held out for less than a quarter of an hour before it fell, leaving the world with nothing but the sky-high flames and the backs of the helpless Blue Eagle people fleeing.
In the middle of December, the Canglong Mountain Range seems to be a white dragon, crawling on the earth, and the endless peaks are covered with snow, as if wearing countless white jade crowns under the sunlight.
Deep in the mountains, in a dense forest, a young man in tattered clothes and carrying a rusty iron suit on his back was sitting by the campfire, munching on a squeaky boar leg.
The boy was Xiao Qiang, and he had entered the Canglong Mountain Range five days ago, specifically looking for low-level demonic beasts to practice, and was actively preparing for the tasting meeting in three months.
Since meeting Shang Qingyun and his party, Xiao Qiang found that it was not so easy to get the right to challenge, with his current strength, he couldn't even beat Shang Qingyun, let alone such a superlative person as Tianyin Ten Uniques.
So the next three months are very important, he needs to improve his strength as soon as possible, and the tasting will be his first public appearance, and he must not be smashed!
Originally, Xiao Qiang planned to go to Blue Eagle City to visit the uncle and the third uncle, but if he thought about it, if he attracted the hatred of the Liu family, I was afraid that it would only be unfavorable to the third uncle and them.
After all, he kidnapped Liu Yunyan, killed Lu Zixuan, and defeated Sanhe City, which is not a trivial matter, and the people on the side of the Jade Dragon Principality will not give up.
Anyway, the Pang family and the Liu family wear a pair of pants, and there should be no problem with the Pang family secretly taking care of the third uncle.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qiang couldn't help laughing at himself, it stands to reason that he should hate the Pang family, but he can't hate it, but because of the fat man, he has a good impression of the Pang family.
Xiao Qiang was full, wiped his hands and mouth, took out the three-legged tripod from the space bracelet, and then put the fire attribute magic crystal nucleus that he had hunted in the past few days into the three-legged tripod.
In the past few days, the three-legged tripod had almost eaten up the stones on Xiao Qiang's body, but it still hadn't woken up, as if it had injured its vitality after killing two Linglu Realm masters in the woods that day, which made Xiao Qiang very uneasy.
Originally, he also planned to use the three-legged tripod to directly destroy the rival in love, but now it seems that he can't use it, and besides, it's too hard to sleep for so long after using it once.
Just as Xiao Qiang was feeding Ding, he didn't realize that a huge demonic beast stood up from the darkness and walked towards him silently
