Chapter 64: Veterans Don't Die

Although the second master is hateful, those family members of the Xiao family's manor are innocent, and killing Lu Zhonghe himself will inevitably cause the Lu family's crazy revenge, from this point of view, Xiao Qiang is also responsible, he can't ignore it. [Full text reading]

Ding Lanyi nodded faintly, took out a thumb-thick jade cylinder from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Qiang: "You take this, in fact, the jade Jane left to me by the master has not been used up, I secretly kept two, one for each of us." ”

Xiao Qiang took the spiritual jade slip with body temperature, his heart rippled, and gently hugged Ding Lanyi in his arms.

His heart was beating so hard that he repeatedly told himself that he really didn't mean anything else, it was just a farewell, and foreigners still kissed him!

Ding Lanyi's face was slightly red, her head was lowered, her little hands were tightly clutched at the corners of her clothes, and she whispered: "I'll go to Autumn Valley to meet my master first, and then wait for you in Canglong City, you have to be careful." ”

Xiao Qiang nodded, flew towards the shore, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

In the 200th year of the Blue Eagle calendar, the day after the National Day, on the third day of December, the 100,000 troops of the Jade Dragon Principality raided the border of the Blue Eagle Principality, and the 100,000 Blue Eagle border guards defected, and the 200,000 troops converged into a murderous purple dragon, which was like a bamboo, all the way to the hinterland of the Blue Eagle Principality.

On the same day, the three major provinces of Hedong Province, Anxi Province, Pingnan Province and the Principality announced that they would return to the Principality of Yulong, and half of the Principality of Blue Eagle was lost!

In the north-central province of Trois-Rivières, countless merchant ships were converted into armed ships overnight, and the lurking Jade Dragon warriors and soldiers joined forces with the forces of the Belt and Road Party to launch a fierce attack on the imperial centers in various places.

The people of Trois-Rivières City had not yet recovered from the carnival of the National Day, and they were caught off guard, and the four major city gates were declared lost.

At the head of the city full of celebratory flags, the banner of the Blue Eagle disappeared and was replaced by the Purple Dragon Banner of the Jade Dragon Principality.

On the rivers inside and outside the city, merchant ships converted warships are parked densely, the four gates are scarred, and the rebels are escorting the surrendered Blue Eagle defenders away.

On the high city gate tower, a general wearing the armor of the Jade Dragon Principality was majestic, stepping on the city wall with one foot, looking at the city prostrate at his feet, and he was arrogant.

Two samurai in leather armor ran forward with large bags and small bags, and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, we sent it this time, the brothers robbed several big families, and the jewels were all over the ground, and they couldn't catch it with two hands!"

There was a sneer on the corner of Hu Qingniu's mouth, his gloomy gaze looked in the direction of the east of the city, and he said with a cruel smile: "Tell the brothers, the Xiao family is the big family, gather people, let's join the Lu family and attack the Xiao family together!"

"Attack the Xiao family!"

"Attack the Xiao family!"

Hu Qingniu's minions are obsessed with yelling at Meng Zhen and Meng Zhen to unify the barley Yao Yan Yan Yi Ba armpit squid "Tu Mang P> since Brother Niu was abolished by Xiao Qiang, their life has not been easy, and after Xiao Qiang's Gentlemen's League rose, they fell into blood mold, and the group of boys who were called by them as slaves before all rebelled and began to besiege them in turn.

They really couldn't get mixed up, and there was no hope of advancing to elite disciples, so it happened that Brother Niu came to summon people on behalf of the Liu family of the Jade Dragon Principality, and promised a lot of benefits, so they simply withdrew from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and followed Brother Niu to seek a fortune.

If they don't retreat, there is no way, if they do bad things outside in the name of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, the Discipline Hall will not let them go, and the sectarian inquisition will not let them go.

What is infuriating is that when they walk on the front foot, the rules of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion on the back foot have been changed, and the treatment of the disciples in the outer room has been greatly improved, and they can also enter the Elite Pavilion to cultivate high-grade martial arts!

These guys were full of remorse and wanted to cry without tears, but it was impossible to go back, so they had to put this account on Xiao Qiang's head!

Xiao Qiang is very powerful, right, the master of the Yunling Realm is amazing, right, he can kill a hundred people, he can kill a thousand people, he can kill a thousand people, and he can kill all our three thousand?

Not to mention, there are still many masters in the Lu family!

Not long after, Lu Zhonghe's father, Lu Zixuan, came with 2,000 men and horses, and after meeting with Hu Qingniu's people, he rushed towards the Xiao family manor.

At this moment, the Xiao family's manor has become a mess, and Hedong can't care about handling the funeral for Xiao Guangyin, so he left in a hurry with the people of the headquarters.

Since the second master came to power, he stopped caring for the descendants of those veterans back then, which has made everyone feel cold, and now when it is time to employ people, they regret it.

The people's hearts have dispersed, and the second master stared at the blood-red eyes, looking at the sparse crowd in the square, and really wanted to find a place to cry.

If my eldest brother was here, it wouldn't be like this, what did I do?!

The four elders were also remorseful, Xiao Qiang had warned them yesterday, but they thought it was Xiao Qiang's excuse, and they didn't take it to heart at all, now that Three Rivers City has been lost, a large number of people are rushing towards the manor, and it is too late to evacuate their families!

Xiao Daolin, the great elder of the Xiao family, suddenly thought of something, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "By the way, when Hong Tao was here, didn't he build a secret passage to Mopan Mountain and let the family members withdraw from the secret passage!"

Tears flashed in the corners of the eyes of the second master, Xiao Hongli, and said ashamedly: "Great Elder, in order to prevent them from escaping from the secret passage, I have already ordered someone to destroy the secret passage!"

"You!" the Great Elder pointed at the second master and stomped his feet, "You are confused, when the situation was unstable, we unanimously agreed to build a secret passage, just to deal with today's chaos, and you actually ruined it?!"

The second master said in fear: "I'll send someone to repair it, give me a few days, and it will definitely be repaired!"

"How many days?!" the Great Elder looked up to the sky and sighed, "I'm afraid we won't be able to survive all night!"

One after another, the Xiao family's family members who fled from the city in panic began to cry when they entered the manor, and brought the bad news that the second master was most afraid of hearing, three thousand rebels under the leadership of Lu Zixuan, were killing towards the Xiao family's manor!

The more than 300 people who gathered so easily were so frightened that their faces were like dirt, their legs trembled, and many people took advantage of the second master's inattention and quietly slipped away, and in a blink of an eye, at least half of them fled.

Great Elder Xiao Daolin knew that the general trend was gone, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, and he exclaimed sadly: "The sky is going to kill my Xiao family!"

Just when everyone was in a panic, a child of the Xiao family guarding the manor ran over in a panic and said in a panic: "Second master, elder, Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang brought someone over!"

"Xiao Qiang?!" The four elders were shocked in their hearts, and they always felt a little strange, and hurriedly walked towards the main gate of the manor.

On the avenue directly opposite the main entrance, the dust was flying, Xiao Qiang was dressed in a blue shirt, with a fire cloud sword hanging from his waist, and he strode calmly.

Beside him, an old man with gray hair held a tattered battle flag, although the handwriting on it had faded, it could still be seen clearly, it was a big "Xiao" character!

Xiao Qiang was followed by more than a hundred tenants. Some of them had a broken leg, some were missing an arm, some of their faces were covered with terrifying scars, they were wearing tattered leather armor, holding rusty weapons in their hands, supporting each other, quietly following behind Xiao Qiang, their eyes full of determination!

The four elders stood on the courtyard wall, looking at this group of people, looking at the battle flag, with tears in their eyes, in the blurred tears, as if they saw how the three thousand Xiao family militia fought to the death with the demon army more than ten years ago, and how the children of the Xiao family fell in a pool of blood.

Now in danger, they once again stepped forward to fight for the Xiao family!

It's the Xiao family who is sorry for them, and the Xiao family is sorry for them!

The second master looked at this scene in despair, burst into tears, guilt and remorse hit his heart, he knelt down on the courtyard wall with a puff, hid his face and cried bitterly.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

The warriors of the Xiao family, who were standing on the wall of the courtyard, looked at this group of disabled veterans with tears in their eyes, and were in awe, and the two closed doors opened violently.

The four elders and the second master stood in front of the open gate of the cave, and bowed at the same time to greet this mighty army!

The arrival of the veterans, although it could not make up for the weakness of the Xiao family's strength, brought everyone a belief, especially the return of Xiao Qiang, which made them look forward to it.

Xiao Qiang was able to convene a ten-party sword formation in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and command tens of thousands of white-clothed disciples to challenge the elite disciples, hoping that he could create a miracle again and help the Xiao family survive this catastrophe!

The four elders and the second master and others, facing Xiao Qiang, were ashamed of themselves, and the second master swore and said: "Xiao Qiang, don't worry, if the Xiao family can survive this time, we will definitely not treat everyone badly!"

"Second Master, you are wrong, we are here to help, not to ask for a reward!" The old man with the battle flag said angrily, "If it weren't for the third master and the fourth master, we would have died under the knife of the demon clan, this is friendship, you don't understand!"

The second master's face was flushed, he smiled, bowed his head and said nothing.

The Great Elder glared at the Second Master, and hurriedly smiled: "Uncle Qiuye, you were the commander of the Three Thousand People's Regiment back then, and now everyone in the manor is obeying your dispatch, so you can give orders!"

Uncle Akino was not polite, took the scepter of the Great Elder, raised his arms, and led the veterans to arrange the defense.

"Tear down all the door panels for me and move them to the courtyard wall. ”

"Da Zhuang, you take someone to knock down a few rows of rooms in the manor, so that the other party will not attack and the fire will not be controlled. ”

"Old Niu, go to the Xiao family's treasury to see, what else can be used, it's best to find more leather armor and change it for the old guys!"

"Don't be idle, you family members, hurry up and prepare all the medicines, and the places where the wounded are treated, all are neatly packed!"

"Don't be idle, build me another inner wall, and move all the rockery stones for me!"

As Uncle Qiu Ye gave orders one after another, the Xiao family manor turned into a huge construction site and began to prepare nervously for war.

In the hall, the atmosphere was solemn, and Xiao Qiang suddenly asked, "Second uncle, when will the secret passage be repaired?"

The second master gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Three days, as long as it takes three days, we will definitely be able to reopen the secret passage!"
