The old man sighed, ”Young Master must be from somewhere else, right? The age subcity is at war, the officials are in the process of capturing Ding, all the young and strong men have been captured, the food has been used as rations, and the rest have fled.
Long Feiyuwei shook his head: ”Battling for my country is a matter of course, why would they want to capture him? It was only natural for these people to go to war while their wives and families were waiting at home. Why did they have to run? How could they kill their enemies in peace? When they return, what will be waiting for them will be empty houses and cold pits. Wouldn't Hero be disheartened by that? ” From his point of view, a fight between age subcity and an enemy should be under the responsibility of the citizens of Phoenixcloud, it should be everyone fighting to be the first, their families taking the initiative to send them food and water was reasonable, but here was different, a man had to go to the front line, and their family members had to leave immediately after the man left, could it be that the people here lacked the guts to do so? And no concept of family affection?
The old man sighed: ”Young master's words are reasonable, but young master does not know the situation of the age subcity, this city is extremely sturdy, and there are not many people needed to guard the city, it is just that the western mountains need guards, these people do not want to, but the people are pulled to guard those places, and not give weapons. The enemy is coming either smashing stones or punching wooden sticks, tell me, the citizens are fighting with bare hands, how can they possibly survive? Seven or eight people are said to have died from the capture of this village three days ago, and not a single person remains from the capture of that village a month ago. ”
Long Feiyu frowned, ”Is there such a thing? Aren't the guards here too weak? ”
The elder shook his head. ”I've heard that there are tens of thousands of soldiers, but these soldiers are busy catching people and robbing things within ten miles of the village. How could they think of killing the enemy?”
Long Feiyu said in shock: ”With such a big story, they still have the mind to steal things?”
The elder angrily said, ”They are not the only ones fighting for things. They won't let go of a girl who looks better. Three days ago, the daughter-in-law of the He Clan's second son was raped by this group of beasts and hanged!”
Long Feiyu was furious, ”How dare you! How are these beasts different from the people of Yun Zeguo? ”
The old man nodded his head: ”Some villagers would like for the age subcity to break through as soon as possible and let Yun Zeguo clean this group of beasts!”
Long Feiyu was stunned, his own countrymen actually wanted another country to attack and kill his own compatriots, where was the root of this bizarre thought? Was it because their compatriots had disappointed them so much and they had no way to cure them that they had to entrust themselves to them?
The old man looked at him and said, ”This is a place of conflict. Young Master and Young Miss should leave quickly. If you were to meet these soldiers, I'm afraid …” Danger! ”
Long Feiyu laughed, then turned and left, directly heading to the main road, he wanted to see what kind of city the age subcity was.
Ahead of them was an official road. About a kilometer away, a tall city gate tower stood, connected with the city gate tower to a mountain range that stretched into the distant horizon. This place was connected to the mountain they had just emerged from.
The phoenix flag with the red and yellow patterns on it was probably the Phoenixcloud's flag. On the other flag was a black circle, with a big ”Zhao” in the middle, maybe because of the city guard general's surname, countless flags fluttered in the air, reflecting the ancient city wall's view, making it look very solemn. The soldiers under the banner were all standing tall at the top of the city, looking towards the southwest.
Unable to see anything from here, Long Feiyu said softly: ”Yu Yao, wait a moment!”
From here, he could see the entire city wall as well as the vast earth outside. From five miles away, there was a faint fluttering of the flag, and the place where the smoke rose was probably Yun Zeguo's military camp, from his point of view, it was a place where all the troops and soldiers fought. As long as this General Zhao was not too useless, there should not be any enemies invading from this point onwards, because several large mountains formed a natural barrier, and this barrier could be seen from afar. He could not see clearly what the terrain of the mountains was like to the west, but they were also extremely dangerous, so he reckoned that they held the advantage of land. Was this the Time City? This was the border that was rumored to be filled with danger?
Long Feiyu found it hard to understand, one was whether Yun Zeguo was crazy enough to send himself to his death, and two was whether the generals here wanted to cause a ruckus on purpose so that he could contribute to the defense of the city, but it seemed unnecessary now. If the Phoenixcloud only wanted to defend this place, then this place was the best place, and if they wanted to attack, it would be a little difficult. He was not a person of this world, and treating the Phoenixcloud as his own nationality was somewhat far-fetched. To eliminate another country for the sake of this country was not his mission. If they could coexist peacefully and not let a hundred people suffer, he was more willing to watch from the sidelines.
Long Feiyu's body moved, and he disappeared from the top of the mountain. Strong gales blew through the forest, and Long Feiyu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking in the direction of Yu Yao with a face full of anger.
A few soldiers were surrounding Yu Yao, causing her to panic and retreat. But every step she took, was followed by a few soldiers, and as the distance between them got closer and closer, Yu Yao gradually retreated into the forest. The soldiers' faces would turn red, and from where the breeze came, Long Feiyu stood three meters behind Yu Yao as he coldly asked: ”What do you guys want to do?”
Yu Yao shouted ”Big brother”, turned around and ran, and hid behind Long Feiyu!
A few soldiers stopped, and one of the man who looked like a small leader coldly said: ”I suspect that you two are Yun Zeguo's spies, and need to be searched!”
Yu Yao said anxiously, ”No! We are good people! ”
The leader laughed. ”Little beauty is smart. He knows what we're thinking and will go into the forest by himself!” Slowly approaching Long Feiyu, he suddenly raised his hand and slashed towards Long Feiyu's head. Long Feiyu was shocked, he dodged: ”You want to kill me?”
The leader sneered: ”Why can't we kill Yun Zeguo's spy?” Seven or eight soldiers surrounded him and raised their sabers.
Long Feiyu slowly said: ”After you kill me, you will naturally not let her off? Isn't that right? ”
The little leader smiled obscenely. ”No, this little beauty is so pretty. I can't bear to kill her!”
