Chapter 41: The Li Family
Wangyuan City Li family
The head of the Li family was sitting in a secret room, holding a letter that had obviously been opened not long ago, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, and after looking at it for a while, he seemed to see something that surprised him, and his hands suddenly held the letter tightly, and he was so nervous that even the green tendons on his fingers were swollen.
"Tonight······ Alas!" A long sigh echoed through the chamber······
In front of the city of Black Wind
Wu Quan, the city lord of Black Wind City, rode on a fiery red horse, and there were countless soldiers standing densely behind him, all of them well-equipped and in good spirits, obviously, these soldiers have been preparing for a long time, as for the object of the expedition, I'm afraid everyone knows, right?
In the palace of the city lord of Wangyuan City
Zhao Chu put a letter in his hand on the candle flame and watched it slowly burn out, the fiery red light shone on Zhao Chu's cheeks, however, through the firelight, you can clearly find the majestic fighting spirit in Zhao Chu's eyes!
"Fortunately, there are a few spies in Black Wind City, isn't it just a war? Come on, I, Zhao Chu, have really never been afraid of anyone in my life! But I have to let the dead man arrange Zhao Yi first!"
In Zhao Yi's room
A jade hand gently stroked over a bottle of Dan.
"Zhou Lin, the pill you gave me allowed me to break through the qi building layer, but I will treasure the pill bottle forever, and I will definitely wait until the day you come back!" Zhao Yi held the pill bottle and said persistently.
Suddenly, the door to her room was suddenly slammed in by a man in a black robe!
"You're my father's dead man, what happened, why did you come into my room without my permission?"
"Miss, it is expected that tonight, the people of Black Wind City will come to attack the city! The city lord ordered me to escort you to Anyang City overnight!" said the man in black eagerly.
"What? Then why don't you notify the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city in advance and let them withdraw from the city first?" Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with suspicion.
The man in black seemed to have thought of something, and he didn't answer for a while, but in the face of Zhao Yi's questioning eyes, he still opened his mouth.
"Because only by letting the soldiers defending the city know that their parents and children are in the city, will they resist hard and prevent the people of Black Wind City from advancing a bit!
When Zhao Yi heard this, he seemed quite annoyed, and put the Dan bottle into the storage ring.
"Why? I am also a native of Wangyuan City! This land has also given birth to me for so many years, why should I flee when it will face disaster? The people of Black Wind City are so brutal, if they enter the city, the consequences will be unimaginable!" I didn't expect Zhao Yi to have such a strong personality, and he didn't want to leave the city at all.
The man in black sighed heavily, thinking that the city lord's explanation of himself was really good, and the eldest lady didn't want to save her life at all!
"Miss, I'm sorry, it was the city lord who explained it himself!!"
The right hand of the man in black made a mysterious detour behind Zhao Yi and slashed at her neck.
"You ······"
The unsuspecting Zhao Yi fell down unexpectedly, was caught by the man in black, and then walked out in a hurry······
In the Zhao family hall in Wangyuan City
The head of the Li family, the head of the Lu family, the master of the Great Sword Sect, the sect master of the Poison Cloud Sect, Guo Ling of the Tongsheng Commercial Bank, and the most powerful people in Wangyuan City were all present.
"According to the report of the spies I planted in Black Wind City, it is expected that tonight, Black Wind City will launch all its forces to attack Wangyuan City, and at that time, everyone in the city must spare no effort to send their subordinates to guard the city, after all, the city gate is on fire, and the pond fish are affected, and I hope you will release your previous suspicions, and Jin Cheng will cooperate!"
Zhao Chu stood in the middle, his face solemn.
"City Lord, don't worry, I have long seen that Wu Quan in Black Wind City that guy is not pleasing to the eye, this time he will definitely be called to come and go!" But it was the head of the Lu family who replied first.
"Defending the city, my Great Sword Gate will naturally spare no effort, I am afraid that some people will secretly do something! Obviously, for the last trip to the fake cave mansion, he was still haunted.
The head of the Li family was glared at, but he didn't have any anger, but took a leisurely sip of tea.
"My Li family is willing to send all the Qi Layer disciples in the family to guard the west gate of Wangyuan City, and if the family disciples do not die, they will definitely not let the West City be lost!"
This remark naturally attracted the attention of others in the hall, this is a thankless thing, it is generally based on the soldiers of Wangyuan City, supplemented by the rest of the forces, so even if it is the worst plan, even if the city gate is lost, it retains its strength, and still has the right to negotiate with Black Wind City.
After all, this is not his own land, there is no need to completely sell his life, although Wu Quan, the city lord of Black Wind City, is brutal, but he is not brainless, and he will not take the trouble to sweep away all the remaining forces in Wangyuan City.
However, the bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused, Zhao Chu heard this, naturally his heart was happy, at this time is the time to employ people, the most afraid of the major forces cowering, now the Li family is willing to help, naturally the best.
Sure enough, that night, when Wu Quan of Black Wind City was preparing to attack Wangyuan City at night with a large number of men and horses, he found that above the city, there were already dense soldiers of all colors, as if they had been waiting for them for a long time.
In this regard, Wu Quan didn't care at all, it was nothing more than that in addition to his internal response here, in fact, he already had several key suspicions in his heart, but he was reluctant to start, after all, these people did a good job on top of their duties.
Zhao Chu stood on top of the east city of Wangyuan City, holding a spear glowing with white light in his hand at some point, and the spear was densely covered with countless lines, and it was a high-grade magic weapon!
"Wu Quan! I knew that you had coveted my distant city for a long time! I would have made you suffer today! I would have made you taste the bitter fruits of greed!"
Wu Quan laughed after hearing this, and stroked his goatee.
"Taste the bitter fruit? What a big breath! Then I will also say a cruel word! Today next year will be your Zhao Chu's sacrifice day!"
Zhao Chu was furious when he heard this, he raised the spear, and under the majestic vitality in his hand, he held the spear, and in an instant, the lines on the spear were filled with vitality!
"Take my shot first!"
Zhao Chu jumped a step, and actually jumped off the city wall like this, holding a spear in his hand and smashing Wu Quan like this!
Wu Quan also collected his previous arrogant expression, took out a giant iron axe from the storage ring, and greeted it directly!
"Khooth!"
Because Wu Quan's preparation time was not very sufficient, all of this was carried out by him sitting on horseback, and the fierce horse couldn't withstand the collision of the vitality of the two Yuan Dan Realm people at all, so he knelt directly on the ground, and directly spit out blood in his mouth, obviously seriously injured.
"Dare to hurt my fierce horse!" Wu Quan glanced at the fierce horse and said distressedly.
"Hahaha, I should be overwhelmed by your weight!" Zhao Chu naturally took this opportunity to sarcastically.
"Zhao Chu, take your life!"
"Then let me see what you, the lord of Black Wind City, have up to!"
This time, the two of them directly escaped into the air and fought, the sound was so loud that it resounded through the sky, and the brilliance of the collision of vitality almost illuminated the entire night like day!
At the same time, as soon as the two first fought, the war between soldiers and soldiers began!
With a loud and urgent horn, many soldiers of Black Wind City actually drove the siege ladder directly!
However, it was the first wave of shots from the archers of Wangyuan City who answered them!
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
The sharp arrows first harvested countless soldiers in the front, but more people in the back rushed up with arrows and tough!
However, as soon as the ladder was erected on the city wall, it was ruthlessly pushed down by the soldiers defending the city, and then there were more dead soldiers in Black Wind City!
······
Looking at the west of the city
There are not many soldiers in Black Wind City here, it seems that there are only about 10,000 people, and the strength of Black Wind City here seems to be only the force that binds the West City Gate.
Therefore, the casualties of the defenders were not too large, but the main reason was not these.
It's because most of the people who defend the city are people from the Li family! The soldiers of Wangyuan City are only a few!
Li Yue is the commander-in-chief of the West City Wall and one of Zhao Chu's henchmen, of course, Li Yue is not a member of the Li family, but a person who is heartfelt to Zhao Chu selected from the army, therefore, even if most of the people in the West City Wall are from the Li family, Zhao Chu dares to hand over the West City to him with confidence, because Li Yue can always be improvisable in the handling of many things and deal with various emergencies in a timely manner.
Li Yue felt very relaxed, there was no other reason, the fighting on other city walls was vigorous, you live or die, but the enemy here seemed to be just here to make a difference, and there was no siege at all, and even several times, when the soldiers of Black Wind City who were besieging the city did not have too many casualties, they retreated by themselves.
And the people of the Li family did not pretend to be a mess at all, they were completely conscientious, which surprised Li Yue, originally thought that the Li family should just be pretending, but I didn't expect that it seemed that it was really for the sake of Wangyuan City, and it seemed that next time I had to say more good things in front of the city lord.
But soon, a loud horn blew, this is the Black Wind City is coming to attack the city again!
Sure enough, there were a lot of people gathered outside the city, it seemed that there were a little more than the previous ones, maybe it was reinforcements sent by Black Wind City, right?
However, this alone will definitely not be able to eat their own here, although in terms of overall strength, maybe there are more people in Black Wind City, but as long as there is no problem on the defending side, it is still normal to just defend this city.
It's a pity that if there is no problem on the defending side, it will come out!
This time, Li Yue felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the people of the Li family, in the past, they used to check their weapons before defending the city, but this time they were listless, and they didn't have the slightest preparation for fighting.
No!
But there wasn't so much time for Li Yue to think, the people of Black Wind City had already launched an attack!
However, the next moment, something that stunned Li Yue happened!
A clansman from the second floor of the Li family's Qi suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed it directly in the chest of a soldier from Wangyuan City closest to him.
The soldier from Wangyuan City was still staring at the soldiers under the city one moment ago, but the next moment, he could only stare blankly at the Li family member who stabbed him to death······
