Chapter Twenty-Nine: Demon Beasts Descend on the Imperial Capital

Feng Qingyao smiled and didn't speak, looking fixedly in the direction of the southern Kaiyang Gate. He sensed that something would interest him from that direction.

Soon, cheers came from the direction of Kaiyangmen one after another, and shouts such as "Southern Barbarian Demon Beast", "Long Live My Emperor", "Great Qi Mighty" and "Invincible" could be faintly heard.

"Ah, uncle, it turns out that there are Nanban demon beasts! Nanban demon beasts are quite rare, I have only heard of them all along, and I have never seen a real Nanban demon beast. Qiu Xiang screamed and said to Feng Qingyao.

Feng Qingyao shook his head and smiled: "Since I haven't seen it before, let's take a good look today, and you can also show off with others after you go back." ”

"Demon beast, what kind of existence is this? Why does it make me feel very peculiar. Feng Qingyao thought with some curiosity, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart.

Due to the smooth road, the team that came in from Kaiyangmen soon arrived at a place where Feng Qing was within sight.

I saw a group of soldiers wearing crimson heavy armor, holding spears and five-foot long knives hanging from their waists, escorting three prisoner carts three zhang long and nearly two zhang wide from a distance.

These soldiers are all murderous and amazing, and each of them takes the same step every time. No more, no less, just three feet. The roaring sound of the footsteps coming together made everyone feel dry and their hearts tremble, and they felt the urge to turn around and run. Because the pressure brought to them by this team of soldiers in crimson heavy armor was too great.

Seeing this team of heavily armored foot soldiers, Feng Qingyao also had a hint of brilliance in his eyes. These soldiers in front of him are definitely the top elite warriors who have truly been tested by blood and fire, and each of them has a good cultivation. Although most of the Imperial Forest Army that maintained order on both sides of Suzaku Street was above this group of heavily armored infantry soldiers, if the same number of red heavy armored infantry soldiers were allowed to engage the Imperial Forest Army, the Imperial Forest Army would have no chance of defeating at all, and might even be defeated by a single blow.

Although this group of foot soldiers in red heavy armor attracted attention, the attention of the surrounding people was more on the three prisoner carts escorted by the heavy armor foot soldiers.

The three prison carts are made of red steel, surrounded by arm-thick fences that keep the contents of the carts from rushing out, but allow everyone to see them.

The three-headed demon beast has a lion-like head, but there is a pitch-black horn on the top of the head, the limbs are thick and extremely powerful, the four hooves are like camels, and the tail has three barbs, which you can tell at a glance that it is not decorative. The body is covered with inverted triangular scale armor, which is extremely strong.

The limbs of the three-headed demon beast were chained and connected to the fence of the prison, and the chains were covered with dense runes, Feng Qingyao felt a powerful force from those runes, which was somewhat similar to the power of thunder and lightning in his body, but much weaker than the power of thunder and lightning in his body.

It's not the strength of the numbers, but the difference in nature. Just like graphite and diamond are both made of carbon, but the two are so different that they can't be compared at all.

"Is this the Taoist technique? It seems to be a bit wonderful. A strange light flashed in Feng Qingyao's eyes, and he became more curious about Taoism.

Soon, Feng Qingyao's eyes shifted to the two Daoists wearing red Dao robes at the front of the team, in these two Daoists, Feng Qingyao felt exactly the same aura as those chains, obviously the runes on those chains and the power in the bodies of these two Daoists came from the same source.

"I heard that General Zhennan fought a great victory, and the lion camel cave in the 36 caves of the rebellious Qiangdi was miserable. The owner of the Lion Camel Cave retreated again and again, and he was about to retreat into the 100,000 mountains. These three demon beasts were all lions and camels that were turned into cave beasts by the lion camel cave, and they were caught by General Zhennan and sent back to the capital for His Majesty to see. ”

Before Feng Qingyao pondered the origin of these three demon beasts, someone next to him said.

"Then this rebellion in the south is over, right? Even the cave protection beast was captured by General Zhennan, where does the lion camel cave have the confidence to fight with me?" someone next to him asked curiously.

"How can it end so easily, the cave masters of the thirty-sixth cave of Qiang Di are all masters who don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and when they can't hold on, they will definitely not retreat. And they are not completely unreliable, as long as they retreat into the 100,000 mountains, my army of Daqi will have nothing to do with others.

The people of the Thirty-six Caves of Qiang Di have all grown up in the 100,000 mountains since they were children, and they are very familiar with living and fighting in the 100,000 mountains, but the warriors of my Daqi are a little unable to perform in the 100,000 mountains. In addition, these Qiang Di are familiar with the terrain, once they retreat to the 100,000 mountains, we have no way to deal with them. Alas, it is precisely because of the storage of 100,000 mountains that Qiang Di always has a way to retreat, so he is not very afraid of my Daqi.

It's good to be able to grab something after you get out of the mountain, and when you finish grabbing, you will be safe to drill into the mountain. So for hundreds of years, Qiang Di has been making a lot of noise. I really hope that General Zhennan can beat Qiang Di this time, and even directly destroy the Lion Camel Cave, maybe the other thirty-five Qiang Di will be scared, and they will not come out again in the future. The man who spoke first said with an indignant expression.

Someone next to him shook his head and said: "Where is it so easy, 100,000 mountains can be entered so easily, the thirty-six caves of Qiang Di have long been destroyed by my Great Qi, how can it be possible to wait until today?"

The man who spoke first also knew that what he was saying was not very realistic, so he smiled and stopped talking.

Hearing the conversation around him, Feng Qingyao nodded slightly, this Zhennan general sent people to send the captured demon beasts to the capital, I am afraid that it is not only to show his martial arts achievements, but more to ask the imperial court for military salaries. In the case of winning the battle, he still has to pay soldiers, and this Zhennan general may really have the idea of killing into the 100,000 mountains.

However, from the surrounding conversations, Feng Qingyao knew that the 100,000 mountains were not easy to enter, and even the Great Qi Kingdom had not been able to truly solve the Thirty-six Caves of Qiang Di for 800 years. If there is no statement that can satisfy both the emperor and the three dukes, it may be impossible to increase the salary of the soldiers. However, since this Zhennan general has sent all the people, he must be certain to a certain extent. This made Feng Qingyao a little curious, curious about what kind of way this Zhennan general had to solve the problem that Daqi had not been able to solve for eight hundred years.

While thinking about it, the team escorting the demon beast had arrived not far from Feng Qingyao.
