Excalibur laughs

Luo Qu was quite shocked, frowned and said: "Zhuge Changting's cultivation has reached the top level of the Holy Profound Realm, and now in the ghost clan, the only person who can hurt him may be He Yi'an."

He paused, and then said with a puzzled look: "But Zhuge Changming has been rescued, even if He Yi'an wants to attack Zhuge Changting, he shouldn't do it at this time, not to mention that Xu is still in the ghost clan. If Zhuge Changting makes a move, He Xu will also be implicated."

When Zhuge Changming heard He Yi'an's name, he immediately became a little worried, and quickly asked Meng Hui, "Brother Meng, do you know who hurt Zhuge Changting?"

Meng Hui nodded when he heard the words, hesitated to speak, looked at Luo Qu, his eyes were full of hesitation.

Luo Qu said lightly: "Speak up what you have to say, it's about this time, there's no need to hide it anymore."

Meng Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, looked at Zhuge Changming, and said in a low voice: "The ghost soldier said that it was Yan Huli who took advantage of Zhuge Changting's unpreparedness in the name of an audience, secretly attacked and seriously injured Zhuge Changting. Rumors spread among the ghost clan that although Zhuge Changting survived by luck, he was seriously injured, and he might not have time to take care of us for a while."

Zhuge Changming's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, he hurriedly stood up, and asked anxiously, "How is Yanhu doing now?"

Meng Hui shook his head, and said, "I have no way of knowing this, but Yanhu's assassination of Mozun is a serious crime of treason. According to the laws of the ghost clan, it may be more ominous."

After Zhuge Changming heard Meng Hui's words, he knew that Yanhu had assassinated Zhuge Changting for his own sake. Although he had no affection for Yanhu, the two grew up together since they were young. They were not brother and sister. Better than brothers and sisters, now that he heard the bad news, he just felt a buzzing in his head, and he couldn't stand up for a while, and his body wobbled and fell backwards.

Meng Yao got up early to support him, she saw Zhuge Changming's eyes were blank, his face was full of grief, and she felt sorry for him secretly, so she comforted him in a low voice: "Changming, Yanhu's life and death have not yet been ascertained." , don't be too sad, you hurt your body."

Seeing this, Luo Qu also comforted him: "Your Majesty is right. Demon Venerable was seriously injured. It is reasonable to say that such an important news would never be spread. There must be fraud in it. Brother Zhuge, don't fall for their tricks."

Zhuge Changming forced his composure, and said slowly: "Thank you, Second Master, for inquiring about the ghost clan, Zhuge Changming thank you."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to stand up and salute, Luo Qu pushed him back with the method of restraining Qi, and said: "It's a trivial matter, why be so polite."

Meng Yao slowly returned to her seat, and asked anxiously: "The ghost army will arrive in Guyun City soon, does Second Master have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Luo Qu smiled, without any worries on his face, and said in a clear voice: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, the army of the ghost clan has been on the attack for several days, and they are already exhausted. Let's recharge our energy in the city and wait for work with leisure."

Seeing that Luo Qu didn't show any fear, Meng Yao turned to look at Liang Tianlin and the others, and saw that they also had smiles on their faces, and they didn't pay attention to the [-] army of the ghost clan at all, so they tentatively said: "Second Lord Are there any reinforcements?"

Luo Qu smiled mysteriously, and instead of answering Meng Yao directly, he walked out the door, looked in the direction of the Spirit Race, sighed, turned his back to the crowd, and asked, "Can the thousands of guards in Guyun City be worth it?" One hundred thousand soldiers and horses living in the ghost clan?"

Meng Yao was silent and did not speak, she already had an answer in her heart, but she didn't know how to speak.

Yunyun saw that everyone was silent, so he boldly said: "Second Master, please forgive Yun Yun for being rude. Although the soldiers in Guyun City are brave, there are many ghost soldiers. If there is a fight, I'm afraid Guyun City Hard to win."

Luo Qu didn't take it seriously, but smiled, and said: "The reinforcements will arrive soon, and they will show up when the ghost army approaches the city."

Yun Yun and the others were astonished, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Second Lord, who is the reinforcement?"

Luo Qu didn't answer, he was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "You will know when the time comes, since the old city lord Meng sent his family to Guyun City, I thought that there would be a day when the army would overwhelm the border. In time, they are already on their way."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Meng Yao, and said, "The problem now is not with the ghost race but with the human race. I can handle the soldiers of the ghost race when they arrive, but if the soldiers of the human race also arrive, Luo doesn't know what to do." , Luo is not afraid of them, it's just that the two armies are fighting, and it is inevitable that people will die, so don't blame your Majesty when the time comes."

Meng Yao knew Luo Qu's concerns, and said calmly: "What is the second master saying? Meng Yao understands this truth. When the time comes, she will have her own way to keep Guyun City safe."

In the next few days, everyone was very busy. Soldiers running around could be seen everywhere in Guyun City. They were intensively strengthening the fortifications. The blacksmiths in the city were also making weapons and armors day and night. All the doctors were also arrested. They were recruited, and seeing that the war was about to break out, the people in the city were still as orderly as before, without any panic.

Yun Yun stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the calm people in the city, admiring and puzzled at the same time, he turned to Luo Qu beside him and asked, "The war is coming, why are they still so calm?"

Luo Qu smiled meaningfully, and said: "Because everyone who enters Guyun City is a person who is not tolerated by the world, Guyun City takes the risk of offending other people to take them in. It takes a lot of courage , so Guyun City is always ready to fight with other tribes, and they all understand that they have nowhere to go except Guyun City, so no matter whether the war comes or not, for them, the city is alive, and the city is destroyed. After figuring this out, they have nothing to fear."

After he finished speaking, he added: "And they believe that I can protect them well."

Luo Qu's tone was full of pride, as if he was quite proud of all this.

Yun Yun looked at Luo Qu, admiring him a little more, and sighed: "Although the world is big, it's hard to find another place like Guyun City."

Luo Qu walked up to Yun Yun, like an elder caring for a younger generation, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said: "You are still young, you still have a long way to go, maybe you can see the second Gu Yun City." or more."

He said, looked at the people in the city with his hands behind his back, and said with emotion: "A person living in this world cannot live only for himself like Changsun Han, nor can he live only for others like you. Uninhibited, those rules and regulations of the Spirit Race are a constraint for me, although I am willful and reckless, I have done a lot of good deeds."

Yun Yun didn't quite understand the meaning of Luo Qu's words, looked at Luo Qu with some puzzlement, and asked, "Second Lord's words are too profound, Yun Yun couldn't understand."

Luo Qu smiled heartily, without explaining, said: "It's fine if you don't understand, but Hui Yiyao."

After he finished speaking, he laughed and walked slowly towards the tower, leaving Yun Yun in a daze, thinking about the deep meaning of Luo Qu's words just now.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and two days later in the early morning, everyone in the city was still asleep when they were awakened by the sound of war drums and horns outside the house.

Yunyun woke up from his sleep, he quickly lit the oil lamp, glanced at the still bright sky outside the window, then looked at Lingchu who had also woken up beside him, and said softly: "It should be the army of the ghost clan has arrived, you Sleep for a while, I'll go out and have a look."

Ling Chu nodded, and while putting on clothes for Yun, he said worriedly: "Don't be brave, I've been restless these days, and I'm afraid that something will happen to you."

Yunyun chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I will definitely run away if I am in danger."

Ling Chu frowned, and said, "You have to remember, if something happens to you, I won't feel better."

Seeing Ling Chu's sad face, Yun Yun knew that she didn't want him to force himself to stand out, but he had no choice but to hold Ling Chu's hand tightly, and said softly, "I promise you, nothing will happen."

Ling Chu nodded, tidied up Yun's body, helped him to wash up, and then let Yun go away.

Yun Yun rushed to the hall and saw that although the city lord's mansion was brightly lit, there was no candlelight in many rooms, so he hurried to the courtyard to wait for everyone.

After a while, Meng Yao and Meng Zhang rushed over. The three of them didn't see Luo Qu and the others, but when they were surprised, Luo Qu's voice came over.

"It's not yet dawn, everyone might as well take a short nap, let the mob of the ghost clan make a fuss for a while, wait until dawn, and go meet them again."

Luo Qu's voice echoed throughout the City Lord's Mansion. In the entire City Lord's Mansion, except for the guards and maids on duty, only Meng Yao and three other people were waiting in the courtyard.

Meng Yao looked at Meng Zhang and Yun Yun, smiled helplessly, and said, "Anyway, if you're idle, you're idle, why don't you go and see the army of the ghost tribe, they're here for us, we can't hide from them."

After she finished speaking, she led the two of them towards the main city gate, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion did not stop them. After finding three horses for them, they let them go.

The three of them ran all the way from the city lord's mansion to the city gate, and they didn't see any panicked people in the market, they seemed to be still asleep, and there were even many vendors selling in the market.

Meng Yao and the others soon arrived at the gate of the city. They boarded the tower and looked far into the distance under the faint light of the early morning. Under the firelight is a dark army of ghosts wearing black armor.

From time to time, the neighing of war horses and the low roar of wild beasts could be heard in the army formation. Meng Yao seemed to have heard the sound of chariots marching, so she couldn't help smiling and said, "Zhuge Changting is determined to bring us this time. Let's go, even the most elite black armor army and the chariots used to attack the city have been used."

After listening to Meng Yao's words, Yunyun knew that the army outside the city was strong, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked: "The second master said that the reinforcements are on the way, I don't know if we can catch up and break the siege of Guyun City."

Meng Zhang was not afraid, and said: "You don't have to worry about this. The second master's prestige in the Jianghu is not low. Many people owe him favors. If Guyun City is in trouble, they will definitely come. Since the second master said They will come, they will come."

Meng Yao's eyes were full of doubts, and she said in a deep voice: "With the [-] black armored army of the ghost clan, plus the chariots and giant beasts attacking the city, Guyun City is determined not to be able to defend it. , Many people who have friendship with him have cut off contact, who is it that can make the second master so sure that he can repel the [-] black armored army of the ghost clan?"

The sky was getting brighter, the sun was rising, and the mild sunlight was shining on the earth, but Yun Yun still felt chills on his back facing the [-] troops outside the city.

After a while, the sky was already bright, and a person rode out of the army of ghosts.

The man was wearing a black armor and carried a big knife on his back. He walked slowly towards Guyun City, and stopped at a distance of five feet outside Guyun City. He looked up at Meng Yao on the tower, and suddenly shouted loudly: " Meng Yao, where is Zhuge Changming?"

His voice was as loud as a bell, and it actually suppressed the voices in the army formation behind him, and it reached the top of the tower.

Meng Yao immediately recognized the man's voice, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Zhuge Changming is in the city, if Elder Yi wants to arrest someone, just come to the city to get him."

Yi Jianghu snorted, pointed his sword at Meng Yao, and said angrily: "Don't be complacent, as long as I give an order, my army of ghosts will surely conquer Guyun City and take your lives."

Meng Yao didn't quarrel with him, but looked into the distance and said, "If you have the ability, you can order the attack on the city."

Yi Jianghu was at a loss for words for a while, and turned to look at the other people on the tower. Seeing that Luo Qu was not there, he asked loudly: "Where are the people of Luo Qu? When is it your turn to give orders in Guyun City? Tell Luo Qu, the devil respect Pay attention to Luo Qu as a human being, give him an incense stick of time, hand him over, and the ghost clan will forget about the past, and he will be the teacher immediately, otherwise, after the time has passed, the ghost clan army will surely crush Guyun City."

Before Meng Yao answered, a general guarding the city beside him whispered to Meng Yao: "The city lord ordered, stick to the city and wait for the reinforcements to arrive."

Meng Yao nodded, feeling more suspicious about the identity of the reinforcements in her heart. After thinking about it, she found that there are not many people who are willing to help Guyun City and have this strength.

Yi Jianghu ordered someone to light a stick of incense under the city, while he retreated to the army formation and waited for Luo Qu's reply.

Wen Yuan suddenly walked up to Yi Jianghu, and said with a giggle, "Elder, do you think Luo Qu will let people go?"

Yi Jianghu sighed, shook his head, and said: "Luo Qutian is not afraid of anything, even Lingdi can't do anything about him. Since he stood up for Zhuge Changming, I guess he won't hand him over."

Wen Yuan immediately said in a hurry: "If that's the case, why are you talking nonsense with them? Isn't it enough to just order the siege?"

Yi Jianghu snorted and reprimanded: "You know nothing, you brat. Although Luo Qu turned out to be a member of the Spirit Race, he is a member of the Spirit Race after all. Besides, the current Lord Youlong is his younger brother. If you really tear him apart I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the Spirit Race, and Luo Qu is famous, if Guyun City is in trouble, those people won't just sit idly by."
