At this moment, he heard shouting and killing sounds from the left front. Qiu Yizi hurriedly looked up and saw a group of people, about a hundred in total, wearing all kinds of clothes and holding a variety of weapons in their hands. They were running to him in the blink of an eye.
These people were so aggressive that they ran to a place only 20 or 30 steps away from him. Just as he was about to launch an attack, he heard someone in the crowd shouting, "Stop, don't move rashly."
These people actually obeyed the order and stopped their steps and actions, but they looked at the government troops with a fierce look, as if they were looking at a prey that was within reach.
Suddenly, another person walked out of the crowd and said to Qiu Yizi with a smile: "Your Highness Yi, how are you?"
When Qiu Yizi saw this person, he immediately gasped - it was the Tianzun Sect leader Wen Honghui, and these motley crowds of people from all walks of life under him were, as expected, the martial arts heroes he had gathered together.
Qiu Yizi had long known that this Tianzun Sect Leader had a deep hatred for him, and now he was serving under the King of Lingnan. He thought that he would have a conflict with him one day, but he did not expect to meet him at this critical moment.
Wen Honghui then said, "Your Highness Yi is truly amazing. You almost escaped from the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops. Fortunately, I have been in Jinling City before and know the terrain here. That is why I led my men to wait for Your Highness Yi in front of the Sanshan Gate. Can Your Highness Yi understand my hard work?"
Qiu Yizi was so anxious that she was about to cry. She had no time to chat with him. She just waited for the door behind her to open so that she could escape.
But just as he was waiting anxiously, he heard Lin Shuhan anxiously reminding Qiu Yizi: "Sir, quickly ask the garrison in Jinling City to close the gate!"
"What does Mr. Lin mean?" Qiu Yizi asked.
Lin Shuhan immediately replied: "If the gate is open, wouldn't Wen Honghui take the opportunity to rush in? Then Jinling City will be lost!"
Qiu Yizi suddenly realized something and turned around quickly to order the defenders in the city to close the city gates immediately.
At this moment, a spring breeze blew past his ears: "Sir, if the city gate is closed, you can't enter the city, right?"
This was a voice that Qiu Yizi was very familiar with, so she quickly turned around and replied, "It is better for me to die alone than for the people of Jinling to suffer... Miss Wen, the person in front of you is your brother. No matter what, he will not embarrass you... From now on... From now on..."
At such a time of life and death, even someone as eloquent as Qiu Yizi could not continue speaking.
But Wen Lingjiao sighed softly: "I have been yours for a long time. If you die, I will die with you. I will never live in vain in this world..."
Wen Lingjiao's gentle and soft words were like a warm current that flowed from Qiu Yizi's ears into the deepest part of his heart. In the chilly wind of early spring, at this critical moment of life and death, under the iron-clad city of Jinling, he actually felt an unforgettable warmth.
Qiu Yizi wanted to express his gratitude and caring words to Wen Lingjiao, but he couldn't say a word. Wen Lingjiao said, "But I have another way. You can go into the city, and you don't have to worry about my brother chasing you..."
After hearing this, Qiu Yizi was stunned again, and was still wondering how a weak woman like Wen Lingjiao could resist these ferocious heroes in front of her
Suddenly, Wen Lingjiao, wearing a white mink robe, passed by him and walked straight between him and Wen Honghui. She opened her arms and said to Wen Honghui, "Brother, you know my temper. I never ask for help from others. Can you spare Mr. Qiu's life today for the sake of our brother-sister relationship?"
After hearing what Wen Lingjiao said, Wen Honghui became furious: "What? What are you talking about? Are you going to speak for this little thief Qiu Yizi? Don't forget that you are the Saint of my Tianzun Holy Church, and this little thief is the biggest enemy of my Holy Church's great cause!"
Wen Lingjiao had a blank expression on her face: "Brother, why are you still dreaming about this? It's been hundreds of years, when has the Tianzun Sect succeeded in its uprising? Among the dozens of generations of ancestors, which one was weaker than you, and which one became a king or emperor? Can't you just live a few days in peace?"
After hearing these words, Wen Honghui became even more angry: "Are you talking to me? Get out of here! Be careful... be careful... be careful of me..."
Wen Lingjiao sighed again: "It seems that brother is unwilling to listen to me. Well, I will not retreat. If brother wants to catch Mr. Qiu, just step over me..."
Although her tone was soft, her meaning was very firm, which made Wen Honghui angry and he shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Even Qiu Yizi said loudly behind her: "Miss Wen, why do you have to do this? I can't die. I have my own way. You have to believe me."
After hearing this, Wen Lingjiao turned her head and smiled slightly: "Young Master, you... don't forget me..." As she spoke, tears flashed in her eyes and she slowly turned her head away.
Wen Honghui had already made up his mind. Seeing his sister, who used to be well-behaved and gentle, now so determined, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Catch this traitor of the Holy Church!"
The martial arts masters who obeyed his orders were all gathered by Wen Honghui recently. They had no fear of the saint Wen Lingjiao. Immediately, several heroes with good martial arts skills flew into the air and pounced on Wen Lingjiao.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiu Yizi didn't care whether the Sanshan Gate behind him was open or closed, and blurted out: "Jiming, hurry, hurry, save people!"
Before Qiu Yi finished speaking, Yuchi Jiming flew out.
She and Wen Lingjiao have been getting along very well these days. Although they are of different generations, they are as close as sisters. The precious sword in her hand was given to her by Wen Lingjiao herself. Therefore, when Yuchi Jiming saw someone trying to harm Wen Lingjiao, he used his ultimate Qinggong to leap forward before Qiu Yizi could say anything.
However, Yuchi Jiming was about ten steps away from Wen Lingjiao, while Wen Lingjiao was only five or six steps away from Wen Honghui. With such a short distance, even with Yuchi Jiming's lightness skills, he could only watch those gangsters getting closer and closer to Wen Lingjiao.
Just as Wen Lingjiao was about to meet with an accident, a dark shadow flashed by and stood in front of Wen Lingjiao, shouting, "What are you going to do? The young lady is such a person, how can you blaspheme her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuchi Jiming also landed in front of Wen Lingjiao. He turned his head and saw an old woman in black clothes protecting Wen Lingjiao.
Yuchi Jiming was shocked when he saw this and asked hurriedly, "Old aunt, why is it you?"
The old woman raised her wrinkled mouth and smiled, "Of course it's me. You, a little girl, can't save him. Who else in the world can save him except me, an old woman?"
Yuchi Ji knew the ability of this "old lady" and felt a little relieved after hearing this. Just as he was about to answer, he heard Wen Honghui shouting, "Aunt, what are you going to do? Do you want to be my enemy too?"
The woman in black cupped her hands and said, "Master, the young lady was just confused for a moment. We are all blood relatives, why do we have to make such a big fuss? If the young lady is wrong, you are her brother, just give her some advice patiently..."
After hearing these words, Wen Honghui was so angry that his face was almost deformed. He grinned and said, "Okay, okay, okay. In this case, I won't make things difficult for my sister. Please, aunt, go and catch Qiu Yizi for me."
The old woman said, "My life was saved by the old man. He was kind and righteous, never treating me as a servant, and even adopted me as his goddaughter. That's why I am ashamed that the young master calls me 'Aunt'. 'Aunt' is also a person who never asks for help in this life. But the young master wants to deal with Qiu Yizi and Yuchi Jiming today. They are both related to my Yuchi family. Can you spare them today for my sake and let them fend for themselves?"
Wen Honghui has always known that this "aunt" is a man of her word and her martial arts are unrivaled in the world. Going against her at this critical juncture will only waste time.
He saw that the Sanshan Gate on the west side of Jinling City had been opened a crack, and was afraid that Qiu Yizhi would close the gate immediately after entering the city. He also ordered not to take action against his most proud "aunt", so he had no choice but to order the heroes around him: "Go, catch the little thief in front, I will reward you handsomely!"
When these chivalrous heroes heard that there was a reward, they immediately flew out and rushed towards Qiu Yizi.
Seeing this, Yuchi Jiming, who was standing in front of the crowd, felt obliged to pull out the sword given to him by Wen Lingjiao and compete with these people from the martial arts world.
Unexpectedly, the old woman in black suddenly grabbed her collar and ordered: "What are you doing here, little girl? Go and protect your uncle!" After that, she raised her hand and threw Yuchi Jiming, a living man with great martial arts skills, far away.
This move was so sudden that Yuchi Jiming was completely unprepared. He turned half a circle in the air before landing on the ground. He hurriedly shouted, "Auntie, be careful!"
The old woman in black didn't even turn her head, but her voice was very clear: "I am very happy when you call me 'aunt'. Today I will let you see the skills of your 'aunt'!"
After saying that, the old man from the Yuchi family stood there motionless. When those heroes of the martial arts world pounced on him like hungry wolves and tigers, he suddenly let out a long howl, and a black robe swayed in front of the crowd like a ghost. The leading martial arts masters collapsed to the ground as if they were possessed by an evil spirit, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
Yuchi Jiming was a martial arts fanatic. Seeing this scene, he had already forgotten that he was still in danger. He couldn't help but admire in his heart: "This old lady's martial arts have really reached the highest level, and her martial arts are light, flexible and changeable, which is exactly the right way for women to practice. Today is a great opportunity, you must watch carefully..."
The dozens of heroes who had not been hit yet due to their slow movements were extremely surprised to see this scene. They were all stunned and stopped, looking at each other. They were so nervous that they couldn't help but clenched their weapons, but no one dared to step forward.
Wen Honghui was so anxious that he shouted, "Aunt, are you going to be my enemy too?"
The old woman replied calmly, "How dare I? I am just putting my old face aside and asking the young master to show some mercy. The young master has been helping the Prince of Lingnan and his strength has increased greatly. It will be easy for him to break through the Jinling City. If my little sister and Master Qiu fall into the hands of the young master in a few days, I, an old woman, will not have the face to beg you again..."
Wen Honghui knew in his heart that Qiu Yi, who had been against him, had always been cunning and scheming. Now that he had escaped, he might not be able to catch him a second time in the blink of an eye. As for breaking through the walls of Jinling...
