It was unknown when the dark blue sky started to change color, but it started to emit a jade-like radiance. In the direction of the Eastern Dawn Fortress, strands of pure white light were spreading out on the horizon, gradually outlining the outline of the land, and also gently lifting the curtain of the night … …
The stars did not leave right away. They continued to decorate the clear sky. Some were red, some were blue, some were navy blue, and some were white. As dawn approached, the curtain of stars formed a beautiful scene in the dim world!
Blood was still dripping from Li Yunzi's hand. She had yet to stop the bleeding.
She seemed to have heard something. She slowly turned her head and looked to the west. She looked at the mountain range shrouded in darkness.
Suddenly, figures that resembled black geese appeared on the mountain range.
The black geese were lined up in a row. They brushed past the Veil of Dawn, as if they were flying from night to day. They were flying toward Rong Gu City without any murderous aura.
They were the half of the Soaring Bird Battalion that Li Yunzi had sent back. Their leader was Lu Jiangjun. He led the Soaring Dragons and landed in Rong Gu City. He followed Li Yunzi's instructions and placed the supplies down!
The supplies were piled up like a mountain. Some ripe grains were squeezed out from the gaps between the sacks and scattered on the ground. The grains shone brighter than gold under the sunlight.
The Rioting Army was panicking when the Soaring Dragons showed up, especially their leader, Zhang Tuo. His face was tense. His skin was so dry that it began to crack …
However, Zhang Tuo's face began to tremble when he saw the Flying Drake carrying food and clothes, just as Li Yunzi had mentioned. A moment later, his tear ducts, which he thought had dried up, began to tear up again. He could not wipe them away no matter how hard he tried!
"The City Lord of Rong Gu City will distribute them to you. Zhang Tuo, you should help him too," Li Yunzi said to Zhang Tuo with a smile.
"This sword mark …" Zhang Tuo hesitated.
"The moment you put down your weapons, you became my people. You are free to come and go as you please, even if you are unarmed," Li Yunzi replied.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you for showing mercy to the people!" Zhang Tuo knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Li Yunzi.
…
In Ronggu City, there were quite a few residents.
Ever since the appearance of the Riot Army, they had been tormented because they knew that the refugees, who were known as wild beasts, would take everything away from them.
However, at this moment, the city gates were wide open. Despite the grandeur of the rioting army, not a single one of them stepped into the city. They stood in front of the city gate tower in an orderly manner, taking away the resources that would allow them to survive the winter.
On the old street, people walked out of their tightly shut doors one after another. There were also women holding their children's hands. They were very far away and were a little scared, but they couldn't help but be curious …
"Mommy, why are you lying? They clearly don't have big fangs," a four-year-old girl with a pigtail said to her mother in a childish voice.
The girl's mother looked embarrassed, not knowing how to answer this question.
…
In the City Lord's Mansion, there were some green bricks and some grey tiles. The wet courtyard was filled with plum blossoms. The plum blossoms' petals were wet from the rain and fell all over the courtyard. The fragrance mixed with the fresh air of the valley after the rain was even more intoxicating.
Zhu Minglang was sitting on a small stool with a blanket on top of a simple bamboo mat. He was carefully treating Li Yunzi's wounds.
Li Yunzi had fainted.
She was suffering from excessive blood loss.
In fact, Zhu Minglang felt that Li Yunzi was gambling with her life. If the Flying Bird Battalion was delayed, wouldn't she have lost her life for nothing?
As soon as Zhu Minglang finished bandaging her wounds, Li Yunzi woke up just as he felt that he could finally be of use.
She opened her eyes and her gaze landed on Zhu Minglang's face …
Zhu Minglang felt that he was considered handsome, but he was definitely not at the level where women would be infatuated with him. Zhu Minglang actually felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Yunzi.
What was that sentence again? His old face turned red.
"There's red date porridge. It's just cooked. I'll go to the kitchen and bring it over for you," Zhu Minglang said.
"Alright," Li Yunzi nodded.
When he brought the red date porridge over, Zhu Minglang originally wanted to pass it to her. However, he glanced at the cloth wrapped around her palm and then looked at this extremely weak beauty.
He gently stirred the porridge to let the fragrance and sweetness of the red dates spread out in the porridge. Then, Zhu Minglang slowly brought the wooden spoon to Li Yunzi's mouth.
Li Yunzi hesitated.
"I took a sip when I was in the kitchen. It's not hot anymore," Zhu Minglang said.
Li Yunzi looked deeply at Zhu Minglang and said, "Leave it here. I'll do it myself."
"You have to lie down so that your blood can circulate properly," Zhu Minglang said.
Li Yunzi was also considered someone who had been on the battlefield. She had been seriously injured before. She knew that if she propped herself up slightly, she would definitely have difficulty breathing.
"How's the situation outside?" Li Yunzi asked as soon as she swallowed a mouthful of porridge.
"It's pretty good. Castellan Zheng and Chief Zhang are both capable people. More than ten thousand Wasteland people have received their supplies. They are on their way back," Zhu Minglang said as he fed Li Yunzi the red date porridge.
Zhu Minglang fed Li Yunzi very slowly. It was a more reasonable way to feed her.
As for Li Yunzi, every time her thin lips parted, her gaze would be evasive. She remembered that when she was looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers, her gaze was stern. Zhu Minglang was probably more intimidating than the thousands of soldiers and horses.
"Is this your baby dragon?" Li Yunzi's eyes flickered with joy when she saw the white fluffy little Winged Dragon beside Zhu Minglang.
"You know it?" Zhu Minglang chuckled. He was going to tell Li Yunzi that the little Bai Qi had helped them unlock the dungeon. Luckily, he was not a quick talker. He felt that it was inappropriate to mention the dungeon now.
"Mm?" Li Yunzi, on the other hand, was rather puzzled. After a moment, she then recalled the little ice silkworm that Zhu Minglang often placed on his palm to feed.
Little White's eyes were wide open. It clearly recognized Li Yunzi as well, as it let out a soft, melodious moan towards her with a joyful look on its face.
"Look, I'm not just good at raising silkworms." Zhu Minglang's tone had a tinge of pride, but when he thought of her flying on a sword and stopping tens of thousands of rioting soldiers, Zhu Minglang felt a little hurt.
Perhaps he still had a long way to go …
Li Yunzi placed her attention on the little Bai Qi. A smile appeared on her pale face. Everyone liked a cute and gentle pet. The little Bai Qi also had the Art of Illusionary Transformation. Its current size was no different from a little white cat with gorgeous wings. Its appearance alone could easily melt the hearts of all the women in the pet market.
"What's its name?" Li Yunzi asked.
"Bai Qi."
"Bai Qi, Bai Qi …" Li Yunzi repeated the name.
…
Outside the courtyard, a man was walking over quickly. He was sweating profusely, but his face was full of smiles, as if he was about to announce some good news. He was about to speak when he saw the scene in front of him. The whole courtyard was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
Zheng Yu opened his mouth wide, but quickly came to a realization. He immediately retreated out of the courtyard as if he had understood everything.
"Brother Zhu is indeed not an ordinary person. Even the Empress is like a shy and docile little girl in front of Brother Zhu," Zheng Yu could not help but admire Zhu Minglang even more.
