… …
In the hall, the people of the clan dispersed.
Today's arrangement was indeed a little unexpected. Some felt sorry for Li Yunzi, while others were gloating.
"I thought that Madam would ask Li Yunzi to find a random servant to marry, so as to prevent that matter from continuing to cause an uproar and embarrass our clan. Who knew that she would become someone's concubine? How pitiful." Mu Qing's tone was somewhat sorrowful.
It was just that this sigh was too fake. The only thing missing from her pink and white cheeks was a smile that was in high spirits.
Li Yunzi had made too many outstanding women in the clan pale in comparison. Now, she was the one who had ended up like this.
"She's the City Lord's concubine. If she serves him well, she might live a better life than us obedient young ladies."
"She must be good in this aspect. After all, she can even stand up to a lowly beggar …"
"Don't be so loud. She's coming this way," Li Kongxi said.
The young women of the clan were currently clustered around Li Kongxi and Mu Qing.
Li Yunzi was alone. She walked down the stairs. The group of women in the clan were all walking gracefully. Li Yunzi had obviously heard what they were saying.
Li Yunzi glanced at the young ladies who were adding insult to injury. She still could not tell if they were happy or angry.
However, the young ladies could not help but move closer to Li Kongxi and Mu Qing.
Who knew if Li Yunzi would go crazy?
However, she did not do anything drastic. She walked through another door in the hall. It was not the way back to the Li Clan's Imperial Courtyard, but to the barracks.
Li Kongxi could not help but harrumph when he saw her back.
However, at the thought of the vast difference in their circumstances, Li Kongxi's face brightened up again.
… …
There was a stone bridge and a few willows. Li Yunzi stood on the bridge and stared at the silver and red carps under the bridge. She watched as they stirred up the water in the pond.
It didn't take long for a burly commander in silver-black armor to walk over.
Commander Cheng quickened his pace when he saw Li Yunzi on the bridge.
"Yunzi, were you waiting for me here?" Commander Cheng asked.
"Mm, I hope Commander Cheng can help me with something." Li Yunzi nodded. Her eyes were bright and clear, as if she had not lost control of herself because of the extreme humiliation in the hall.
"In the end, your father is still easily influenced by the young madam. Since he didn't object to this matter, in any case, you have contributed so much to the city, but he wants to send you to the tiger's mouth in exchange for a hypocritical truce. Sigh, let's go. Yunzi, I will help you escape. Go far away and find a good man to live with. Don't come back. This Li family is not worth it. "Commander Cheng's eyes were filled with pity and helplessness.
Even if Li Yunzi didn't come looking for him, Commander Cheng was prepared to help her escape.
Commander Cheng was someone who had been on the battlefield. He was very clear that Li Yunzi was a complete captive after marrying into the Ling Family of Firmament City. Moreover, she had killed many of the Ling Family's disciples on the battlefield.
Once Li Yunzi arrived there, she would rather die than live.
Hearing Commander Cheng's words, Li Yunzi felt a trace of warmth in her heart.
In the end, there was still someone who was thinking for him.
"Uncle Cheng, I'm not trying to escape."
"If you don't escape, why do you want to suffer the humiliation? You are still a woman, and you are still young. This Li family is not worth it for you to use your life in exchange for a pitiful peace negotiation. You don't have to worry about the situation at the border. Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let those bastards from Firmament City take half a step into our territory! "Commander Cheng said agitatedly.
"Uncle Cheng, do you know why the Wasteland Rebellion can't be quelled? No matter how many people are killed, the unarmed rioters will still charge into the battlefield without a care for anything?" Li Yunzi asked.
Commander Cheng frowned.
He didn't understand what Li Yunzi was thinking. She couldn't even protect herself, yet she was still thinking about the safety of Zulong City?
"The Wasteland Rebellion is barbaric and primitive. The people are not intelligent. Our Zulong City has fertile land. They have long been drooling over it. They are like wolves and tigers after being encouraged by someone, "Commander Cheng said.
Li Yunzi shook her head and said, "It's impossible to kill all the rioters in the Wasteland Rebellion …"
"You should be worried about yourself, Yunzi."
"I won't escape," Li Yunzi said calmly.
When one was stuck in a quagmire, the crazier they struggled, the deeper they would sink.
Li Yunzi was still feeling lost not long ago, as she had no idea who her enemy was.
Now, she was finally able to see it clearly.
They had all surfaced from the water and were laughing sinisterly. They could not hold back their joy and were about to trample her into the mud.
…
Winter was about to arrive. The Ancestral Dragon City had not had a single drop of rain for a month. Even the Lichuan Plains, which had always been very fertile, was showing signs of drought. If not for the nourishment of the three great rivers, the plains would have long withered.
Zhu Minglang remembered when he first arrived at the Zulong City, it was still a blue sky and fertile land. After staying at the Dragon Tamer Institute for more than a month, the vast land outside the city seemed to have changed into a different set of clothes.
The yellow grass, the withered leaves, and the mountain range in the distance had turned into an undulating silver-white mountain range. It was majestic, but it also had a hint of bleakness …
"Ahh!"
Li Shaoying wrapped herself tightly with a woolen coat, but she still could not withstand the cold wind in the air. Her nose had turned red from the cold, and her snot was about to flow out.
Zhu Minglang glanced at him. He did not understand why this guy was in the traveling class.
However, Zhu Minglang had a rough idea of what was going on when he saw him and Nan Ye riding on a pseudo-dragon bird.
Right now, they were all high up in the sky, sitting on the backs of pseudo-dragons and holding the reins with both hands.
The yellow and bleak plains were right under their feet. However, the wind was like ice blades, cutting at their cheeks and ears painfully. Li Shaoying had obviously never been in the sky before, so she had no idea what protection she should take.
There were a total of thirteen pseudo-dragons, each carrying thirteen students.
Among the students, there were real Dragon Tamers who already owned dragons, and students like Li Shaoying and Nan Ye, who were still under the Dragon Gate.
They were led by two teachers. One of them was Ke Bei, who was in charge of the students' safety. He was the man Zhu Minglang had met the other day. The other one was Duan Lan, who was responsible for casting the Spell of Summoning Clouds and Summoning Rain.
Apart from the thirteen students and two teachers, there was also an assistant lecturer, who was Zhu Minglang.
Duan Lan, Ke Bei, and Zhu Minglang were sitting on top of an Eagle-Draco.
The Eagle Dragon had a broad back like a lion, and half the chest and head of a giant eagle. It was over five meters long. Sitting on the Eagle Dragon's back was like sitting on a deck chair covered in a fur blanket at home. It was a great pleasure!
As a matter of fact, Zhu Minglang did not expect a slacker who was only here to do odd jobs would be assigned as an assistant lecturer.
"The Cang Dragon can control the wind and rain? I feel like the Cang Dragon is the Dragon King, "Li Shaoying said.
He was wearing a simple robe that didn't have any patterns or decorations. Compared to the other students who were wearing fancy clothes, he indeed looked shabby.
It could not be helped. The robe was the best Li Shaoying had. He would still be herding cows at home if his Ox Spirit had not shown signs of a dragon.
