Vol 8 Chapter 34: I know I'm afraid
"Stop! It's dangerous outside, everyone go back!" The soldiers stopped the crowd.
"You guys have to get out of the way! It's because of the danger that Mao Daochang went out to form an array to resist the Nian beast!"
"I can't rely on you! You all escaped from the Nian Beast, and we still rely on you to resist the Nian Beast?"
"That's right! Get out of the way! Daoist Mao is saving your lives!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" A loud shout sounded from inside the city gate.
Yuchi Gongshan stood on the tower, his white beard straightened with anger, this group of foolish people. If they are all arrested, when the matter is over, they will have to make trouble after they are released, but they can't kill them. It will be rumored that their Yuchi family slaughtered the people. This group of people really upset him!
"Father, arrest them all!" The old captain Wei Chi Lei was so angry that he also blew his beard and stared.
"Where are they going to be arrested? There are so many people!" Yuchi's second son shook his head angrily!
"Drive them out!" the young and vigorous Yuchi Laoqi said angrily.
"No, if we raise our swords and guns, they will turn from ignorant people to mobs." The calm fourth brother Yuchi sighed.
"Father! I'll take people to stop them. It doesn't make sense, so we'll build a human wall. If we don't believe it, we can't stop them!" After Yu Chifeng finished speaking, he went down the tower with a sullen face, and led the soldiers to act as a human wall to stop them at the city gate. Inside.
"What are you doing?" The common people saw the real Yuchi Army standing in front of them, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"You are our soldiers! You should protect us, not point us at us with knives and guns!"
"Our Daoist Master Mao kindly saved you, but you don't know good people! You deserve to be eaten by monsters! Daoist Master Mao! Leave them alone! Let's go to the city to form a formation and let them be eaten by monsters!"
"That's right! When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why. What can he say to a soldier like this!"
Yu Chifeng stood in the team, Guo De was so angry that he turned his head, who has the power to say now? !
"Old General Yuchi—Old General Yuchi—" Suddenly, just as they were confronting each other, a voice came from outside the city gate, "Prepare—the beast army has reached Songcheng—"
Following this shout, Yu Chifeng immediately turned his head in surprise, and saw a black horse leaping over the fence of the city gate, passing a stream of light in the air, and falling in front of him, on top of the black horse was none other than the Third Highness Duanmu Jinhong !
"Third Highness!" Yu Chifeng knelt down immediately in shock, and Guo De and the soldiers quickly knelt down as well.
Old General Yuchi also immediately took all Yuchi's sons down the tower to meet His Highness the Third Highness. With the arrival of the Third Highness, they knew that the ferocious beast had reached Songcheng.
The people surrounding the gate of the city saw someone coming suddenly, and they were still looking around curiously.
"Greetings to Your Highness the Third Prince!" Yuchi yelled angrily, he was angry with those ignorant and unreasonable people, he yelled to remind the people that the person in front of them was a prince!
Sure enough, when they heard that it was His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the common people around the door panicked immediately, and even their idol, Daoist Mao, hurriedly bowed down.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Third Prince, Your Highness is a thousand years old——"
"Your Highness, thousand years old, thousand years old—" Lang Lang's shout echoed in front of Duanmu Qingchen, but when he saw the densely packed heads in front of him, his brain buzzed like an explosion.
"Why are so many people still staying in Chengzhou City?!" Duanmu Qingchen couldn't help shouting!
The common people began to panic because of the prince's anger. People under feudal imperial power have inexplicable fear and awe of imperial power. They may not be afraid of officers and soldiers because they are relatives of high officials, but they will definitely be afraid of the royal family, because the royal family is the largest.
"Third Highness, can I ask the poor Taoist to say a few words?" Daoist Mao couldn't hide his smile, feeling that he would make a fortune today. If he stopped the Nian Beast, he would have made a great contribution in front of the royal family. This opportunity, He doesn't want to miss it.
"Who are you?!" Duanmu Qingchen didn't look at Daoist Mao, but Yuchifeng.
Yu Chifeng said with a sullen face, "The Taoist priests here, please report to Your Highness!" Yu Chifeng just told His Highness the third highness who was full of sulking, and asked His Highness to make a decision, "Most of the people in Chengzhou have already withdrawn from Chengzhou. But here is the distant house of the official doctor, the old cousin of the governor of the capital, the in-laws of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and this one, that one, they all don’t want to leave Chengzhou, saying that they are afraid that we will rob their family’s belongings!”
The more Duanmu Qingchen listened, the more angry he became. Yuchifeng had already made it very clear that these people were unwilling to cooperate with Old General Yuchi because of their power!
"And this magic stick! Tell everyone that the ferocious beast is the Nian Beast, set off firecrackers to drive it away, and now we have to set up a formation!" Yuchi shouted angrily, "No, gather the people and rush to the pass to set up a formation!"
"It's just nonsense!" Duanmu Qingchen swung his horsewhip furiously, "Tie up this stick to His Highness!"
His Highness sternly shouted, Guo De immediately grabbed Daoist Mao, he was not pleasing to his eyes!
"Your Highness! Pindao really has something to say, Pindao can really subdue the Nian beast!" Daoist Mao shouted anxiously.
"What kind of Nian beast!" Duanmu Qingchen yelled angrily on the horse, brandished his whip, his head exploded with anger, and turned to look at Yuchi Gongshan, "Old general, you should prepare for the battle quickly. The beast army has already reached Songcheng."
"Yes! Let's go! Prepare for battle!" Yuchi Gongshan immediately turned around and walked out of the city gate with everyone.
Duanmu Qingchen pointed back at Daoist Mao and shouted angrily: "That's a gluttonous beast! You spread rumors here, and you will kill the people of Chengzhou! If even the goddess sees it, she will definitely..."
"Bang—" Suddenly, there was a deafening loud noise, the ground shook, and the tiles fell, and everyone panicked and looked around.
"What happened?"
"Did it fire?"
"Is the Nian Beast coming?!"
Duanmu Qingchen felt chest tightness for a while, he couldn't explain it clearly, it's Nian Beast Nian Beast!
Yu Chifeng shook his head repeatedly.
Daoist Mao, who was captured by Guo De, immediately shouted: "It's the Nian Beast—Your Highness—let me set up the formation—or it will be too late—it will be too late—"
Daoist Master Mao's believers were also terrified by the loud noise. Seeing Daoist Master Mao shouting in grief, they couldn't help shouting for Daoist Master Mao: "Please Your Highness, let Daoist Master set up a formation to show his magical powers—— "
Duanmu Qingchen immediately sat on the horse in a daze, what kind of ignorance and ignorance is this? !
"Why are there so many people—" Suddenly, a shout similar to Duanmu Qingchen's, but deafening, echoed in the sky above everyone.
Everyone raised their faces in surprise, their expressions froze with fright, and their whole bodies trembled.
I saw Lian leisurely hanging in mid-air, with a fairy belt fluttering behind her, a white fairy belt was strangling the neck of an extremely huge black flying beast, obviously preventing it from rushing towards the crowd!
"God, god..."
I don't know if it was because they saw the flying Lian Youyou, or the flying beast caught by her. All the people were pale and trembling. They knelt on the ground and couldn't stand up.
