This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 577 Massacre of the city!

The night was as dark as water, and faint sounds of stringed instruments and laughter could be heard from the front yard.

In the courtyard, Wang Qi and others looked at Li Fei expectantly.

"The court will not give up Cuiqing City."

Li Fei gave a direct reply.

Hearing this, Wang Qi and others breathed a sigh of relief and everyone had a smile on their face.

With Li Fei's current status, what he said in the East Territory can indeed directly represent the Great Blue Dynasty!

"When the troops go out, we will be the vanguard!"

Wang Qi immediately patted his chest to express his stance, and the others also began to make promises.

Li Fei smiled and nodded, then took the initiative to ask some questions about Hua Donghan.

Wang Qi and others naturally told everything they knew.

After a moment, Li Fei left.

Wang Qi turned around and looked at his companions: "So Master Hua actually knows Marquis Jing'an?"

"The Marquis seems to be quite concerned about Master Hua?"

"Could it be?"

"No way"

"If that's the case, then Hero Yang is doomed."

"."

Li Fei didn't know that he was being gossiped about. On his way back to his residence, he took out the Thousand Machine Shadowless Silk and sent a message to Ning Qingman:
"Do you still remember Hua Donghan from Tianshui Sword Tower?"

"of course I remember."

"She did come to the East Territory to practice swordsmanship."

Li Fei told Ning Qingman the news he had just heard.

"She and that hero Yang are trapped in Cuiqing City?"

"They said he was trapped, but now there is no news from him. I don't know if he is still alive."

"Both of them are martial arts masters. As long as they are careful, they should still be alive."

"Well, if Hua Donghan and that hero Yang are still alive, I will bring them back."

Li Fei said so.

He flew for several days in a row, all the way from Linshui Province to the Eastern Border.

After arriving, I didn't take any rest and went straight into the battle. I was actually very tired after the battle.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Wang Qi and others to ask, he would go directly to Cuiqing City.

Although Ning Qingman didn't say it, he knew that if the other party was here, he would definitely go to rescue people.

"be careful."

After a while, Ning Qingman sent a message.

Li Fei smiled slightly: "Maybe knowing that I'm here, Qilian Guanshi will choose to abandon Cuiqing City and has already withdrawn his people."

On the same night, the bright moon was still hanging high in the sky above Cuiqing City.

The fire in the city has been extinguished, the fighting has subsided, and there is also a carnival here.

This is a feast for the conquerors.

There were laughter and shouts, as well as women's screams and pleas for mercy.

There are a total of 120,000 people in Cuiqing City, most of whom are families of border army soldiers.

When the city was captured, the soldiers defending the city blocked the enemy inside the city and covered the retreat of the people inside, but in the end, less than one-fifth of the people escaped.

The remaining people were trapped in the city, trembling under the scimitars of the grassland people.

In a dilapidated house, Hua Donghan sat cross-legged on the bed in meditation, while Yang Lingyue stood by her side to protect her.

The house was lit by kerosene lamps, and all the furnishings and furniture were very old and simple.

A sturdy woman walked into the bedroom, glanced at Hua Donghan on the bed, and whispered to Yang Lingyue:

"Hero, I made some food for you, would you like to have a bite?"

Yang Lingyue turned to look at her, his tone a little stiff: "No, you guys eat."

At his level, ordinary food is simply not enough to replenish the energy needed for himself and the implants in his body.

The little food the woman prepared was just a drop in the bucket.

"Well, let me boil some hot water for you."

The woman's expression darkened and she spoke again.

Yang Lingyue realized that his attitude might be a bit hurtful, and he forced a smile on his face:
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"Don't say that. Don't say that."

The woman waved her hands quickly, "You saved me and my son, you are my family's great benefactors!"

She smiled again: "I'll go boil some water for you."

Her name was Tian Shuang. She was the widow of a soldier from the Eastern Border. Her husband died in battle at the border in his early years, and she lived alone in Cuiqing City with her son.

Three days ago, the city was breached and she and her son were unable to escape in time. Later, they wanted to return home to hide, but on the way they encountered a group of grassland soldiers who were killing people for fun.

At the critical moment of life and death, she and her son were rescued by Hua Donghan, after which she took the two to her home.

As soon as Tian Shuang left, Hua Donghan stopped regulating his breathing and opened his eyes.

"how?"

Yang Lingyue asked with concern.

Hua Donghan shook his head: "It's still a step short. I don't know when I can succeed."

Yang Lingyue comforted her, “Don’t be anxious. This step is already very difficult. If you can find the opportunity to break through, you have already stepped over the threshold. You will succeed sooner or later.”

A hint of restlessness appeared in Hua Donghan's eyes.

It’s a good thing that the opportunity I have been searching for for many years has finally come.

If she were still in the Tianshui Sword Tower, she could completely concentrate on her studies and slowly seek a breakthrough.

But now she and Yang Lingyue were trapped in Cuiqing City, where danger could come at any time, and there was no safe environment to break out.

The archery skills, perception ability and flying speed of the 'Eagle King' in the city are outstanding among the grandmasters.

So the two of them did not dare to try to leave the city easily.

Once discovered by the 'Eagle King' again, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky to escape again.

Both of them wanted to wait until they were in better condition before trying to leave the city.

If Hua Donghan can break through and become a grandmaster, then the chances will be even better.

A little head suddenly popped out from the door.

He is a chubby little boy, he is Tian Shuang's son.

Seeing the little boy, Hua Donghan smiled and waved to him.

The little boy walked up to her nervously and curiously.

"What's your name?"

Hua Donghan asked with a smile.

"My name is Wang Ping'an."

The boy said in a low voice, then stared at the sword that Hua Donghan placed aside.

Hua Donghan saw the other party's intention and picked up his sword:

"Like this?"

Wang Pingan nodded vigorously.

In the past, when he played with his friends, he used branches and sticks as swords, but he had never touched a real sword.

Hua Donghan smiled and handed over his sword: "Take it."

Wang Ping'an hugged the sword in his arms as if he had found a treasure.

It’s like embracing the entire world.

"Big sister, can I become as powerful as you and this uncle in the future?"

Wang Ping'an looked up at Hua Donghan and asked innocently.

Yang Lingyue on the side touched his nose awkwardly.

He is indeed more than twenty years older than Hua Donghan.

"You want to be as good as us, why?"

Hua Donghan asked with a smile.

"I want to go into battle and kill the enemies, kill those barbarians on the grassland, and become a great hero like my father!"

Wang Ping'an held the sword and said seriously.

Hua Donghan patted his head and said, "There will be a day like this. Even if you don't become as powerful as us, you can still become a great hero."

"really?"

"of course."

While the two were talking, there was a commotion outside.

Yang Lingyue stood up suddenly and said to Hua Donghan:
"I gonna go see."

Step out of the bedroom.

After a moment, Yang Lingyue returned with a serious expression:

"The grassland people are searching every household. It seems they want to gather everyone together." Hua Donghan frowned: "What do they want to do?"

Yang Lingyue shook his head. He only knew that he couldn't stay here any longer.

"Two heroes!"

Tian Shuang walked into the bedroom, pulled Wang Pingan over, and knelt down in front of the two of them.

"Sister, you."

"I beg you two heroes to take Ping An away!"

Tian Shuang said, and began to kowtow to the two of them:

"Please!"

Yang Lingyue raised his hand and used a gentle force to stop the other party from kowtowing.

He turned and looked at Hua Donghan.

Without enough pills and not daring to absorb a large amount of the vital energy of heaven and earth, neither he nor Hua Donghan's conditions had recovered to their peak, and their injuries had not healed.

Next, they avoided the search of the grassland people, and they did not dare to act rashly to avoid being discovered by the 'Eagle King'.

Therefore, it would be very inconvenient to bring along an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts.

Hua Donghan stood up and looked at Wang Pingan who was holding his sword. He gritted his teeth, stepped forward and helped Tian Shuang up:
"Okay, leave peace to us."

Tian Shuang cried with joy and kept thanking him.

After a while, the two of them left quietly with Wang Ping'an, whose eyes were red with tears.

At this time, the entire Cuiqing City was brightly lit, and grassland soldiers were everywhere, driving people out from house to house.

In the night, Wang Pingan, who was held by Hua Donghan, sobbed and asked:

"Will I never see my mother again?"

"."

Hua Donghan didn't know how to answer.

She couldn't even guarantee her own life or death, let alone the life or death of others.

"Will someone come to rescue us?"

Wang Pingan asked again.

Hua Donghan looked up at the night sky and said firmly:
"Someone will come to rescue us!"

"With so many people here, the court will not give up this place."

The next morning.

Li Fei immediately found Fu Ziwu and asked about the news of Cuiqing City.

The Prairie Royal Court must have received news of his battle record in Hase Castle.

Qilian Guanshi might abandon Cuiqing City.

Otherwise, when he attacks Cuiqing City again, the grassland side will suffer heavy losses.

"I sent people to Cuiqing City to gather information overnight, and there will be results soon."

Fu Ziwu said to Li Fei.

"How was the interrogation of Huyan Pushan?"

Li Fei asked again.

Fu Ziwu: "You are tough-talking and determined, but I have a martial arts master who is good at interrogation. He has mastered a magical power called [Heart Candle] that can break down other people's defenses and obtain their memories.

Now he is continuing to cast [Heart Candle] on Huyan Pushan, and it shouldn’t be long before he will be able to reap the rewards.”

Li Fei nodded.

Sure enough, professional things should be left to professionals.

Huyan Pushan is the temple shaman and Qilian Guanshi's confidant.

If Qilian Guanshi has any other cards up his sleeve, the other party should know about it.

The two chatted for a while, and then a messenger brought an urgent military intelligence.

When Fu Ziwu took a look at the military intelligence, his face suddenly changed and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"what happened?"

Li Fei noticed the other person's mood change.

Fu Ziwu looked up at him and passed on the military situation:

"See for yourself."

Li Fei took the information and saw that it said:

"The people of the grassland are gathering the soldiers and civilians of Cuiqing City on a large scale. The grassland royal court has announced that it will massacre Cuiqing City!"

Massacre the city!

Li Fei also had murderous intent in his eyes: "How dare they?"

Fu Ziwu had been on the battlefield for many years and had led troops for many years. He quickly calmed down and looked at Li Fei:

"I'm afraid it was declared so deliberately."

"Are you coming for me?"

Li Fei also reacted.

He just arrived in the East Territory yesterday and won a victory.

Today, the Prairie Royal Court announced that it would massacre the entire city, and it was obvious that they wanted to lure him to Cuiqing City!
"The White Flame Army is still resting and cannot fight for the time being. If we can get rid of you, the Eastern Territory will no longer be able to stop the grassland cavalry."

Fu Ziwu analyzed calmly.

Li Fei sneered: "Qilian Guanshi wants to bring people to surround and kill me? Are you so confident that you can kill me?"

Fu Ziwu looked into his eyes and said, "Don't be impulsive."

He was also very angry about the massacre, but he knew that Li Fei's safety was more important.

Li Fei and Fu Ziwu looked at each other: "What is your plan, Admiral Fu?"

Fu Ziwu: "This matter needs to be discussed with Admiral Ye and Commander Zuo."

Ye Jingfu, Governor of the Eastern Territory.

Zuo Jun, commander-in-chief of the White Flame Army.

These two people are undoubtedly the two people with the most say in the entire Eastern Territory.

Fu Ziwu was originally ranked third, but now that Li Fei has come to the East Territory, he can only be ranked fourth.

"Okay, let's get in touch now."

Li Fei said.

So Fu Ziwu took Li Fei to the magic circle used for long-distance communication in the city.

In a secret room on the second underground floor of the military headquarters building, the ground and walls were covered with runes, and in the middle stood a jade qilin more than two people tall.

After activating the formation, Yu Qilin's eyes lit up blue.

Then, light and shadow intertwined to form a human figure.

This man was dressed in loose clothes and had a scholarly air. He looked like a great scholar with a wealth of knowledge.

He is Ye Jingfu, the governor of the East Territory, the grand master of the Dao realm, and a veteran of three dynasties!
He is also a member of the Ye family and the great-uncle of the Prime Minister Ye Ze'an, but he had set up his own family long ago.

"Admiral Ye."

Li Fei bowed to the other party.

Ye Jingfu smiled and returned the greeting: "Marquis Jing'an, I have long heard of your great name, but it's a pity that I cannot meet you in person."

He was a famous Confucian general in the Da Lan Dynasty. He was once the top scholar in the imperial examination. He first entered the cabinet as an official, and later was granted the title of marquis and appointed as a general.

He can be said to be the most capable fighter among the civil officials and the most knowledgeable among the military generals.

In Ye Jingfu's era, he was also a well-known legendary figure.

After Ye Jingfu greeted him, the light and shadow beside him changed, and another figure appeared.

The man was wearing white armor and a mask, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Although it was just a projection of light and shadow, the temperature in the secret room seemed to drop a little as soon as he appeared.

"Commander Zuo."

Fu Ziwu took the initiative to salute, with admiration in his eyes.

He is a pure soldier, and the only people he can truly admire are those whose military achievements far surpass his own.

Zuo Jun, the commander-in-chief of the White Flame Army, led the White Flame Army to dominate the grassland for decades!

Zuo Jun was very silent. He glanced at Li Fei for the first time and didn't say anything.

Li Fei saluted him: "Commander Zuo."

Zuo Jun silently returned the greeting.

"Time is running out, so let's cut to the chase. The Prairie King's Court has announced that it will massacre Cuiqing City. What are your plans?"

Ye Jingfu was responsible for presiding over this meeting.

"I think it's a trap, deliberately set for Marquis Jing'an to lure him to Cuiqing City."

Fu Ziwu glanced at Li Fei, hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't recommend Jing'an Hou to take risks!"

Ye Jingfu did not comment upon hearing this, and looked at Zuo Jun:

"What does Commander Zuo think?"

Zuo Jun was very frugal with his words: "In the next three months, the White Flame Army will not go into battle again."
