Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Lu Linnan Ge looked at Chu Xiaomu and said, "Chu Xiaomu, three days ago I told you that my father was looking for you. Do you remember?"

Chu Xiaomu then remembered that Lu Linnange had indeed mentioned that her father, Lu Linang, wanted to see him about something. He had even asked her why. If she didn't bring it up again, he would have forgotten about it. He could only say, "Tomorrow when we return to Yutuo City, I'll go with you to see the City Lord of Lulin."

Ah Qi pretended to be unhappy and said, "I haven't seen your father for a long time. Why doesn't he come to see me? Your braised rock sheep meat is so delicious. I want to try it again..."

Lu Lin Nan Ge rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you want to eat it so badly, come with us tomorrow. I'll ask the kitchen to kill one and braise it. You'll stuff yourself to death!"

Ah Qi laughed heartily and said, "It's a deal. Nan Ge, you are not allowed to cheat when the time comes!"

"Keep your word. When have I ever lied to you?!"

Chu Xiaomu looked at Aqi and saw that he was in a completely different state of joy compared to the restraint he had felt at Liu Yingzi's house in Caogou Village. Then he looked at Lu Lin Nan Ge and he never thought that she, who was always serious, would actually joke with Aqi, and in the light of the fire, her face seemed to be slightly flushed.

……

Nothing happened that night and all four of them slept soundly.

At dawn the next day, the four found Yu Aqi and Lu Linnan Ge's mounts and headed towards Yutuo City in the southwest.

Yanshui Cave is not too far from Yutuo City, only two or three hundred miles away. However, since Aqi and Lu Linnan Ge's mounts had not eaten any grass for three or four days, they moved very slowly.

After leaving Yanshui Cave, seeing that the horses were really exhausted, they found a piece of grass and let them eat their fill first.

Although Cheng Huang wasn't an ordinary horse, he couldn't live without food. He had a huge appetite since he grew up, often consuming three or four days' worth of fodder for an ordinary horse in one sitting. He was also more tolerant of hunger, and the longest Chu Xiaomu had ever seen him go without food was nearly two weeks.

When Cheng Huang was eating, he would often disappear without a trace. It was unknown where he went to eat grass, and Chu Xiaomu was not sure whether he was eating only grass. There were still too many secrets in his body that Chu Xiaomu knew nothing about.

After the horses had eaten their fill, the four continued on their journey, moving much faster than before.

When they were still thirty or forty miles away from Yutuo City, they suddenly saw two horsemen running towards them. Judging from the appearance of the horses, they should be the military horses of Bicheng.

Ah Qi had sharp eyes and could clearly see the appearance of the rider on the horse from a distance. He shouted loudly: "Brother Mei Dengzi, where are you going?!"

Lu Linnange frowned and said, "Why were these soldiers of yours running around outside the city? Fortunately, you caught them red-handed!"

The two sides soon ran to one place, and Lama stopped.

Mei Dengzi's face was filled with anxiety, and he breathlessly said, "Yu... Yu Zhongjun... something big... something big... something bad..."

Ah Qi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "What's the big deal? Just take your time and tell me. Don't be anxious."

Mei Dengzi took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Yu Zhongjun, the Red Army... the Red Army suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Yashankou..."

When Ah Qichu heard the news, he was stunned for a moment. He had never imagined that the Red Army would launch an attack in just a few days since he left. After a moment of pause, he quickly regained his composure and asked, "So, how's the battle going?"

Mei Dengzi said, "The battle is a bit difficult. General Ding asked us to find you quickly!"

Ah Qi waved his hand and shouted, "Then let's go quickly and rush back to the camp!"

Everyone rode their horses and galloped away.

Chu Xiaomu suddenly remembered the Hoof Tribe Spirit King's appearance in Yanshui Cave. He had traveled from the west side of Yutuo City to Yanshui Cave on the northeast side, either taking a narrow path that would be difficult to spot or passing directly through the official road of Yutuo City. He asked, "What about Yutuo City? What's the situation?"

Mei Dengzi cried out in pain and said loudly to Lu Linnange, "Miss Lu Lin, I forgot to tell you that it seems the evil spirit of the Red Soldier has entered the city. You must be very careful when you return!"

Lu Linnan Ge snorted, "A few small evil spirits can't cause any waves in Yutuo City." She knew that as long as they were not the Spirit King of Chisha Country or ancient strange spirits, her father and several generals would be enough to deal with them.

In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the north gate of Yutuo City.

The number of soldiers guarding the city gates was three to four times greater than usual, and they were rigorously checking civilians entering and leaving the city. Lu Linnange knew that Yutuo City only behaved this way in emergencies; Mei Dengzi's words were true. However, the soldiers were orderly and showed no signs of panic, suggesting that the evil spirits entering the city hadn't caused much trouble and were unlikely to be very powerful.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw that it was the young lady and General Yu Zhongjun of the Bicheng East Zhong Army, they hurriedly let everyone in.

Lu Linnange asked the officer guarding the gate, "Do you know what kind of evil spirits are entering the city, and how many there are?"

The general said, "I didn't see them, but I heard they were two monsters with hooves and horns. They injured many people in the city."

Lu Linnan Ge was immediately relieved and said, "It has hooves and horns. It belongs to the Hoof Tribe of the Chisha Nation."

Chu Xiaomu said, "Yes, I once saw a barbarian called Zoudidi in Jinyang City. He was the same strange-looking guy you mentioned. He said that Bloodhoof had five great barbarian generals under his command. Maybe the two who entered the city were them."

Lu Linnan Ge had also heard about Chu Xiaomu's easy subjugation of the Walking Barbarians and said, "Blood Hoof should still be chasing Bing Chi and Bing Mei. So, the two Barbarian Generals of the Hoof Tribe are no big deal. Chu Xiaomu, go see my father now. If you encounter a Barbarian General, you can lend him a hand." He pulled out the cyan bell from the Three Elements Bells and said, "Take this. No one in Yutuo City will dare to stop you."

Chu Xiaomu nodded in agreement, said "Don't worry", and took the bell she handed over.

Lu Linnan Ge turned to Aqi and said, "I'll go to Yashankou with you."

Ah Qi stammered, "This...this...Nan Ge, I think you should...go to the city first..."

Lu Linnan Ge's eyebrows raised, and his voice became louder: "What if the attacker this time is Flame Claw? Are you sure you can defeat him?"

Aqi was speechless and shook his head.

Lu Linnan Ge continued, "Besides, in my city, the Bicheng Army is under the command of the Yutuo Army. I am the commander-in-chief and you are the deputy commander. How dare you disobey my orders?!"

Seeing her serious tone, Ah Qi muttered, "Who dares not to listen to you? Aren't you just looking for trouble?"

Lu Linnan Ge whipped the horse's buttocks with the whip and said, "That's good, let's go!" and galloped eastward towards Yashan.

Aqi led Mei Dengzi and another sergeant and followed closely behind her.
