"Stop! It's dangerous outside, go back!" The soldiers stopped the crowd.
"You are the ones who need to get out of the way! It's because of the danger that we sent Taoist Master Mao out to set up the formation to resist the Nian Beast!"
"You are unreliable! You all ran away after being beaten by the Nian Beast. How can we rely on you to resist the Nian Beast?"
"That's right! Get out of the way! Taoist Master Mao is saving your lives!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Loud shouts rang out from inside the city gate.
Yuchi Gongshan stood on the tower, his white beard standing straight with anger, this group of fools. If they were all arrested, they would make trouble again after the incident, but they couldn't be killed. If it got out, it would be said that the Yuchi family massacred the people. This group of people really annoyed him!
"Dad, arrest them all!" The eldest brother Yuchi Lei was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Where should we lock them up? There are so many people here!" Yuchi Laoer shook his head angrily!
"Drive them out!" said the young and energetic Yuchi Laoqi angrily.
"No, if we raise our swords and guns, they will turn from ignorant people into mobs." The calm Yuchi Laosi sighed.
"Dad! I'll take people to stop them. This doesn't make sense. Let's form a human wall. I don't believe we can't stop them!" After saying this, Yuchi Feng went down the city wall with a gloomy face and led the soldiers to form a human wall to stop them inside the city gate.
"What are you doing?" When the common people saw the real Yuchi Jun standing in front of them, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"You are our Qian Dynasty soldiers! You should protect us, not point swords and guns at us!"
"Our Taoist Master Mao was kind enough to save you, but you didn't appreciate our kindness! You deserve to be eaten by monsters! Taoist Master Mao! Don't worry about them! We will go to the city and set up a magic circle to let them be eaten by monsters!"
"That's right! When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain himself clearly. What can he say to a soldier like this?"
Yuchi Feng stood in the team. Guo De was so angry that he turned his head away. Who on earth was unable to explain himself now? !
"General Yuchi—General Yuchi—" Suddenly, just as they were confronting each other, a shout came from outside the city gate, "Prepare for battle—the beast army has arrived at Songcheng—"
Following the shout, Yuchi Feng turned around in surprise, only to see a black horse leaping over the fence of the city gate, streaking across the air, and landing in front of him. Riding the black horse was none other than the Third Prince Duanmu Jinhong!
"Third Prince!" Yuchi Feng knelt down in shock, and soon, Guo De and the soldiers also knelt down.
General Yuchi immediately led all the Yuchi men down the tower to pay respect to the Third Prince. When the Third Prince arrived, they knew that the beast had come to Songcheng.
The people gathered at the city gate looked around curiously when they saw someone suddenly coming.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Yuchi Feng shouted angrily. He was angry at those ignorant and unreasonable people. His shout was to remind those people that the person in front of them was a prince!
Sure enough, when they heard that it was the Third Prince, the common people gathered at the door immediately panicked, and even their idol, Taoist Mao, quickly bowed down.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years—"
"Long live His Highness! Long live His Highness! Long live His Highness! Long live His Highness!" The loud shouts echoed in front of Duanmu Qingchen, but when he looked at the densely packed heads in front of him, his brain suddenly began to buzz as if it had exploded.
"Why are there still so many people staying in Chengzhou City?!" Duanmu Qingchen couldn't help but yelled!
The common people began to panic because of the prince's rage. The common people under the feudal imperial power had an inexplicable fear and awe of the imperial power. They could rely on their relatives being high officials and not be afraid of the soldiers, but they would definitely be afraid of the royal family because the royal family was the most powerful.
"Third Prince, may I have a word for you?" Taoist Master Mao couldn't hide his smile. He felt that he would be very successful today. If he could stop the Nian beast, he would have made a great contribution in front of the royal family. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Who are you?!" Duanmu Qingchen didn't look at Taoist Mao, but looked at Yuchi Feng.
Yuchi Feng said with a gloomy face, "The Taoist priest here, report to His Highness!" Yuchi Feng just wanted to tell His Highness about his anger and let His Highness make the decision, "Most of the people in Chengzhou have evacuated Chengzhou, but there are distant relatives of the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, the cousin of the prefect of the capital, the in-laws of the Minister of Works, and this and that. They are all unwilling to leave Chengzhou, saying that they are afraid that we will rob their property!"
Duanmu Qingchen became angrier the more he listened. Yuchi Feng had made it very clear that these people were relying on their power and were unwilling to cooperate with General Yuchi!
"And this charlatan! He told everyone that the evil beast was Nian and that they should set off firecrackers to drive it away, and now he wants to set up a battle formation!" Yuchi Feng shouted angrily, "Look, he's gathering the people to break through the gate and set up a battle formation!"
"This is just nonsense!" Duanmu Qingchen was so angry that he swung his whip, "Tie up this charlatan for me!"
His Highness shouted loudly, and Guo De immediately captured Taoist Mao, as he had disliked him for a long time!
"Your Highness! I really have something to say. I can really subdue the Nian beast!" Taoist Master Mao shouted anxiously.
"What Nian Beast!" Duanmu Qingchen shouted angrily on his horse, waving his whip, so angry that his head exploded. He turned to look at Yuchi Gongshan, "Old General, you guys should prepare for battle quickly. The beast army has already reached Songcheng."
"Yes! Let's go! Prepare for battle!" Yuchi Gongshan immediately led everyone to walk out of the city gate.
Duanmu Qingchen turned around and pointed at Taoist Mao, shouting angrily: "That's a gluttonous beast! You are spreading rumors here, you will kill the people of Chengzhou! If even the goddess sees it, she will definitely..."
"Bang—" Suddenly, there was a deafening noise, the earth shook, tiles fell, and people immediately panicked and looked around.
"What happened?"
"Did they fire?"
"Is it the Nian beast that is attacking us?!"
Duanmu Qingchen just felt a tightness in his chest. No matter how he put it, he couldn’t explain it clearly. It was the Nian Beast, the Nian Beast!
Yuchi Feng kept shaking his head beside him.
Taoist Master Mao, who was captured by Guo De, also shouted immediately: "It is the Nian beast - Your Highness - let me set up the formation - otherwise it will be too late - too late -"
Taoist Master Mao's followers were also frightened by the loud noise. Seeing Taoist Master Mao shouting in grief, they couldn't help but shout for him: "Your Highness, please let Taoist Master set up the formation and show his magical powers--"
Duanmu Qingchen immediately sat on his horse in shock. What kind of stupidity and ignorance is this? !
"Why are there still so many people——" Suddenly, a voice similar to Duanmu Qingchen's, but a deafening shout, echoed above everyone.
Everyone looked up in shock, their faces becoming dazed and their whole bodies trembling.
Lian was seen suspended in the 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, immortal..."
I don’t know if it was because they saw Lian Youyou flying, or because they saw the flying beast she captured, but all the people turned pale, trembled all over, and knelt on the ground unable to stand up. They were so scared that their legs were weak and they couldn’t stand up! (To be continued)
