After struggling for a while, Erzhuang finally chose to believe Xue Ding. He glanced at the woods and knelt down in the tunnel: "The reason I was able to escape was because of the help of my teacher. In order to let me escape, the teacher sent the Qinghe soldiers who were pursuing me away." I stopped him, and now my life or death is uncertain. General, can you help me save my teacher?"
Xue Ding frowned and said: "What is your teacher's strength? Is Baqiu Jiliang in the forest?"
Erzhuang said with some uncertainty: "The teacher is stronger than me. I don't know the specific strength. He probably hasn't reached the master level. Yashiro Kira must be the general Qinghe. I ran away in a hurry and didn't see the pursuers. Soldier, I think that person with his good nature should be with Lin Zheng."
Xue Ding pondered for a moment and nodded: "Baqiu Jiliang likes to play with his opponents, and he will not let your master and apprentice escape so easily."
His face suddenly darkened and he said seriously: "This General Qinghe is actually a real master of the Dacheng Realm. Your teacher has not come out yet and is probably in danger."
Er Zhuang's face changed drastically when he heard this. He shook his head desperately and shouted: "No, nothing will happen to the teacher!" Then he got up from the ground with great difficulty and was about to rush into the forest, murmuring in his mouth : "Teacher will not die, I should be the one who deserves death. Teacher, wait for me, I will save you right now!"
Xue Ding rushed forward and grabbed Er Zhuang's arm and threw him back. Er Zhuang fell to the ground. When he struggled to get up, Xue Ding said coldly: "Don't let you be injured like this now. You were like this when you were in your prime." Even a little bit of strength is not enough, and if you go there, you will die in vain!"
"I have to save him even if I die. If I hadn't saved my teacher, he wouldn't have put himself in danger. I would have harmed him!" Erzhuang said excitedly.
Xue Ding stepped forward and slapped Er Zhuang on the face, which stunned Er Zhuang. He stared at Xue Ding blankly.
Xue Ding said angrily: "Wake up! Your teacher gave you his life in exchange for you to go back and die? Your nephew doesn't want it anymore? Or should he take him to die with you? Let me tell you, I will not care about him. , such a big baby is the best food for wild beasts!"
Erzhuang was silent, he lowered his head and sobbed helplessly, his whole body on the verge of collapse.
The young man could no longer bear the loss of almost everything in one day. Er Zhuang suddenly crawled towards Lin Zi's swaddling clothes. He held Lin Zi tightly in his arms and cried bitterly.
Lin Zi, who had fallen asleep again, was woken up by Er Zhuang's hug, and burst into tears. This time the crying was particularly violent. Er Zhuang was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do. The military doctor walked over and checked: "General, this baby should be I’m hungry.”
Xue Ding looked at the military doctor suspiciously. He didn't quite believe this guy who was acting unreliable, but he couldn't let the guy cry like this. He said impatiently: "Go get some milk!" The military doctor took the order and left. , quickly ran back from the team, holding a kettle in his hand.
The military doctor picked up Lin Zi from Er Zhuang's arms. He held the kettle and slowly fed the child. Lin Zi greedily sucked the milk from the kettle and calmed down immediately. It seemed that he was really hungry.
Erzhuang's mood became more stable at this time. He knelt down again and begged: "General, please help me rescue the teacher."
Xue Ding shook his head with a serious face and said: "Be more liberal, your teacher is no longer here." In his heart, Sun Zheping has been sentenced to death. He does not want to waste all his efforts to send people into the forest to rescue, which will only increase casualties and alert the snake. .
"The Qinghe Army has a master like Yaqiu Ji Liang sitting in command. The forest situation is complicated and the cavalry cannot gallop at all. Even if my Ningguan cavalry enters, it will be difficult to make achievements. I have more important things to do now. Do you want to kill me?" Kill Qing Hejun to avenge his family and teacher?"
Erzhuang clenched his fists tightly. At this time, he already believed in his heart that Sun Zheping had passed away. His eyes were full of anger and he said decisively with a tone of voice: "General, I think so!"
Xue Ding helped the two men up, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay! Just follow me, I will kill you happily!"
He looked at the military doctor and said, "Take good care of this kid and this baby."
The military doctor took the order and took Er Zhuang and Lin Zi to a carriage in the team. There were a lot of food supplies in it. It looked like they had eaten a lot. There was a space left. The military doctor settled Er Zhuang into the carriage. .
Xue Ding got on his horse and gave the order, and the Ningguan cavalry set off again, heading south in a mighty way toward Beidou City.
In Beidou City, He County, as the Qinghe Army approaches, Beidou City has closed the city gates and is waiting. Beidou City Director Qingfeng stands on the city wall and looks into the distance. His expression is solemn, making the originally majestic face look a little more... Distribute murderous intent.
Standing next to him was a middle-aged general. If Gu Xifeng were here, he would definitely feel familiar. He was the father of Jiang Huaishi and Jiang Huaishu, and the Beidou City Guards Commander Jiangling. Although Jiangling was wearing a military uniform, his face was somewhat bookish and his temperament was gentle and elegant.
Now that all the elites of the Galaxy Sect have been sent out, there are only 5,000 city guards left in Beidou City. Even if the Galaxy Sect sends hundreds of disciples to support them, the situation is still not optimistic in the face of the invasion of 80,000 Qinghe troops.
Ren Qingfeng suddenly saw a large group of people appearing in his field of vision outside the city. He turned to look at Jiang Ling beside him and said: "There are a large number of people appearing due to the north. They may be Qinghe people!"
Jiang Ling said with a heavy look of doubt on his face: "The scouts just came to report that the Qinghe Army was camped fifty miles away from Beidou City in the north. How could they launch a surprise attack so quickly?"
Ren Qingfeng frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused, and then he said decisively: "Don't worry about whether it is an enemy or not, just be on guard!"
Although Jiang Ling was still a little confused, he still took the order and conveyed the order to his subordinates.
“Heart on alert!” “Heart on alert!”…
Sounds of warning sounded on the city wall. The city guards and Galaxy Sect disciples all looked solemn, clenching their weapons and looking nervously into the distance.
As time passed, the group of people moved from far to near, and with the eyesight of a master in the realm of Ren Qingfeng, they gradually saw what the other party was wearing, and his expression changed from solemn to confused.
Those people quickly entered the range of the archers. When the city guard archers bent their bows and prepared arrows to hit the opponent head-on, at Ren Qingfeng's signal, Jiangling issued an order to lift the alert. The archers put down their bows and arrows. They looked at each other in confusion. There was confusion on his face.
A team of about five hundred people came to Beidou City. These people were not from Qinghe or even from the army. They were dressed in different styles.
Some of them are wearing rich clothes, some are wearing commoners, and some are even dressed in rags and look like beggars.
They include a sturdy man with a gangly appearance, a pretty woman in cool clothes, a white-haired old man with a weathered face, and a childish-looking boy, all of them men, women, old and young.
Mixed together with Taoist priests, gangsters, knights... people of various identities, full of the atmosphere of the world.
The leader of this group of people was a middle-aged man in brocade clothes. He was riding a horse, and behind him was a group of swordsmen in uniforms. He looked quite extraordinary.
He signaled everyone to stop, looked up at the city wall and shouted loudly: "Fellow Taoists of the Xinghe Sect, I am Yao Linfeng, the master of the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect. This time I am leading one hundred disciples to come to the aid of the Xinghe Sect. Behind me are all the fellow Taoists who came to help Xinghe Sect tide over the difficulties after hearing about Qinghe’s army’s attack.”
The Hidden Dragon Sword Sect is one of the few sects outside the Xinghe Sect in Yingzhou. It can basically be ranked among the top five in terms of scale. The Hidden Dragon Sword Sect is located in Wanning County. They saw the Qinghe army passing through but they were helpless. , the weakness and incompetence of many officials in Wanning County chilled them.
When the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect heard about the Qinghe Army after the Qinghe Army passed by,
The target this time was the Xinghe Sect, and all the elites of the Xinghe Sect went to Kaiyuan City. Yao Linfeng, the leader of the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect, immediately organized his disciples to rush to the Xinghe Sect.
The Xinghe Sect has a high prestige in Yingzhou. Many sects and people in the world have received help from the Xinghe Sect. Even if they have not received any favor from the Xinghe Sect, many people in the world are very angry at what Qing Herao has done.
Along the way, everyone from the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect met many people who had the same ideas as them. Naturally, these people went together. Later, more and more people came after hearing the news, and the team rushing to support the Galaxy Sect became more and more popular. It became huge.
"The abbot of Wanning County Fahui Temple, Kong Ming, led twenty of his disciples to come to help the Xinghe Sect!"
"Taoist Yukou Shan Longxuan has brought thirty people here to help the Xinghe Sect resist the Qing and barbarians!"
"Sun Changfa, the old beggar in Xishui City, wants to kill a few more shameless Qinghe people even if his life is at stake!"
"Xingyue, the leader of Wanfu Tower, came here with a few girls who have some skills to help Xinghe Sect."
"Okay, okay, what's there to shout about? It's better to keep your strength on the battlefield and kill more Qinghe talents. Butcher Gao Jiujin doesn't kill pigs, only Qinghe dogs."
People from all walks of life in Beidou City reported their homes one after another, and the scene was a bit chaotic.
Ren Qingfeng looked at the scene in front of him, and his majestic face couldn't help but be moved.
Jiang Ling said from the side: "Sir, these people are not spies of Qing and Rao. I will know a few of them."
Ren Qingfeng ignored Jiang Ling, but shouted excitedly to the city: "Fellow Taoists, I am Qingfeng, the director of Beidou City. On behalf of the Xinghe Sect, I would like to thank all of you for coming. I promise that I will never let you down." Such kind words! You and I will face the enemy together and live and die together!"
The heroes in the world were in a good mood after hearing Ren Qingfeng's words. Xinghe Sect did not neglect them because they were just a rabble. Ren Qingfeng, a famous master in the world, was so polite that they were moved. Among the crowd From time to time there were applause and cheers.
At Ren Qingfeng's signal, Jiang Ling ordered the city gates to be opened to allow these Jianghu people to enter the city. Ren Qingfeng personally went to the city gate to greet them. Everything was handled in accordance with the highest etiquette of welcoming guests from the Xinghe Sect. This group of Jianghu people who came to help were flattered.
At the same time, the Ningguan cavalry led by Xue Ding was not far from the Qinghe army, and a big battle was inevitable.
