"My Lord, Wu Yuer is not in the Northern Lands." When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he knew that Chi Hou had misunderstood. However, he was not too surprised that Chi Hou could say Wu Yuer's name.
After all, the Divine Constabulary was a force to be reckoned with. If they did not know who the leader of the Shadow Sect was, then they would not be called the Divine Constabulary.
"It's not Wu Yuer?" Chi Hou's heart skipped a beat. If it was not Wu Yuer, then it was most likely the Crown Prince's men.
Three thousand soldiers. Moreover, they were well-trained soldiers.
The Crown Prince's boldness …
Was he already this powerful?
"Qingyi, help me look after the fire. I want to welcome them personally." Fang Zhengzhi did not explain further. He could hear the commotion coming from afar.
This meant that they were almost here.
"Roger!" Qingyi nodded.
"Haha, since that is the case, I will go with you." When Chi Hou saw Fang Zhengzhi stand up, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped the grease off his hands.
"Lord, this way please." Li Jingfeng immediately led the way.
Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of stopping him. Of course, he had no reason to. This was the Northern Lands. That was Chi Hou's territory.
In Chi Hou's territory, wherever he wanted to go, who could stop him?
…
At the entrance of the Northern Mountain Village, the 2,000 Red Pinion Squad members had mounted their horses. They were lined up neatly, their spears aimed at the outside of the village.
Behind the Red Pinion Squad, Zhang Yangping and a group of villagers were watching anxiously. After all, the commotion from afar was too loud.
"Village Chief, are they going to fight?"
"If they really fight, the Northern Mountain Village will be finished. Should we inform the students and teachers to hide in the mountains?"
"I don't think they will fight? The Divine Constabulary is inside. Who would dare to go against the Divine Constabulary in the Northern Lands? "
"But what if they do?"
The group of villagers discussed among themselves. After all, they had basically relied on farming and hunting for a living all their lives. It was rare for them to encounter such a situation.
At that moment, Chi Hou and Fang Zhengzhi walked out of the village, followed by Li Jingfeng.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village.
"Marquis!" The villagers quickly greeted respectfully.
"Yes." Chi Hou nodded and didn't say much. He looked at the dust in the distance and continued to walk forward.
The Red Pinion Squad, who were already in formation, immediately opened up a path.
Their movements were extremely neat.
Fang Zhengzhi sighed when he saw this. The Red Pinion Squad was one of the most elite troops in the Great Xia Dynasty. Their training was extremely strict.
For Chi Hou to be able to train such an iron army, he was naturally worthy of being called a talented general.
After passing through the Red Pinion Squad, the three of them finally saw a group of people running towards them. It was just as Li Jingfeng had said.
This was a team of masked people.
Everyone was covered in a black cloak. As they ran, the cloaks stuck tightly to their bodies. It could be seen that they were wearing the same armor under the cloaks.
"Not bad!" Chi Hou subconsciously praised when he saw this scene. After all, to someone who had commanded the army for many years, he only needed a glance to determine that this was an extremely well-trained army.
That was because that troop was advancing very quickly, but the entire troop was arranged in a rather orderly manner. Right in front of them was like a huge spear.
At the back, there were five people riding side by side in an incomparably orderly manner.
Anyone who knew a little about commanding an army could tell that this was a formation for a charge. And to be able to charge for such a long distance without dispersing the formation, it was quite a feat.
This was enough to prove the harsh training this army had gone through.
"Not bad." Fang Zhengzhi agreed with Chi Hou's assessment.
Chi Hou didn't say anything else. He just frowned slightly as his tiger-like eyes stared at the huge "spear" that was rapidly approaching.
In fact, Chi Hou rarely showed such an expression.
As the leader of the Northern Lands Five Constabularies, he didn't even frown when he faced the Northern Barbarians' 50,000 wolf cavalry.
However, now that he was facing a team of 3,000 people, he frowned.
The reason was simple …
He had the Northern Mountain Village behind him. The Northern Mountain Village was home to many of the most talented children of the Northern Lands Five Constabularies.
If these people were really sent by the Crown Prince …
In that case, he must have received a military order to come here.
There was no Red Pinion Squad.
These people were here to capture Fang Zhengzhi. However, if the Red Pinion Squad interfered, it would become a battle to the death. The Crown Prince would never allow the Divine Constabulary to get their hands on him.
They were getting closer and closer …
"Get ready!" Chi Hou slowly raised his hand.
"Woosh!" The 2,000 soldiers of the Red Pinion Squad raised their spears and pointed them forward. A powerful aura filled the air.
"Halt!"
At that moment, the charging 'Chang Yu' finally stopped. The tall black warhorse stood up on its hind legs and stood firmly.
Behind him, the 3,000 black-masked soldiers also stopped.
The formation did not change!
"I am Li Jingfeng of the Red Pinion Squad from the Divine Constabulary of the Northern Lands. I have orders from the Divine Constabulary to capture a criminal. Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Northern Lands!" Li Jingfeng spoke.
As someone who had followed Chi Hou for more than a decade, he knew what Chi Hou was thinking. It was better not to reveal Chi Hou's name at a time like this.
The spring breeze blew past.
The fragrance of the flowers wafted through the air.
The 3,000 masked soldiers stood there quietly. They didn't leave because of Li Jingfeng's words. It was as if they hadn't heard him at all.
They were waiting.
Waiting for an order.
Just at that moment, a red flag was raised. It was as red as blood and had no inscriptions or words on it.
However, Li Jingfeng's expression changed when he saw the red flag.
This was because when the red flag was flashed, the three thousand masked soldiers moved.
"Woosh!" They moved in unison, followed by two more 'shua shua' sounds. After these three sounds, an iron bow appeared in the hands of every black-masked soldier.
Every single bow was pulled taut, and every single arrow was aimed at the Red Pinion Squad. Their movements were as smooth as flowing water, and there was not the slightest pause or hesitation.
"How dare you!" Li Jingfeng raised his spear when he saw this.
However, he would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised. After all, this was the Northern Lands. Even though he didn't directly say that the Divine Constabulary was here, the Red Pinion Squad's name was equivalent to revealing the Divine Constabulary's name.
Was there anything more influential than the Divine Constabulary in the Northern Lands?
"Chi Hou, our young master wants the person beside you. If you are willing to let us go, we will leave immediately!" A voice rang out from the masked soldiers.
"Oh? What if I don't give it to you? "Chi Hou's eyes finally narrowed.
He had heard Li Jingfeng's words clearly. Li Jingfeng did not state his purpose of being here, so he left them a way out.
However, the other party did not seem to appreciate it. Instead, they pointed out Chi Hou's identity and asked for the person.
Who was it?
Who dared to declare war on the Divine Constabulary in the Northern Lands?
"If Chi Hou doesn't hand it over, then we have no choice but to offend you!" The masked soldier's voice rang out once again. At the same time, the red flag was raised again.
"How dare you!" Chi Hou looked at the raised red flag and finally got angry. As the guardian of the Northern Desert's Five Constabularies, Chi Hou had left a way out for the enemy when they led their troops into the territory.
That was the greatest mercy he could muster.
The Crown Prince had to do with this. After all, he did not want to declare war on the Crown Prince's men unless he had no other choice.
However, that did not mean that he was afraid of war.
"Die!" As Chi Hou's voice rang out, the 2000 Red Pinion Squad members roared in unison. A murderous aura emanated from their bodies.
Fang Zhengzhi was completely stunned by the scene in front of him.
What was going on?
Did he not make himself clear?
He clearly remembered that when he came, he said that he was waiting for a friend. Why was it that as soon as he left the village, both sides drew their bows and shouted to kill each other?
Didn't they want me?
Why don't you just hand me over?
Fang Zhengzhi smiled bitterly as he looked at Chi Hou. He knew who they were, but he could not say it in front of the 2000 Red Pinion Squad members.
After all …
This was the Northern Lands.
"My Lord, you can actually hand me over." Fang Zhengzhi reminded softly as he looked at the furious Chi Hou.
"What are you talking about? Do you think I will hand you over?" Chi Hou replied without hesitation.
"My lord, you should hand me over. Furthermore, I don't mind. Let me go with them." Fang Zhengzhi continued to persuade.
"You don't mind? But I mind! "Chi Hou refused without even turning his head.
Hand him over?
Was that a joke?
How could he, Chi Hou, hand over someone in the Northern Desert? Wasn't that a joke? Forget about the fact that the other party only had three thousand people, even if they had thirty thousand people, Chi Hou still wouldn't hand them over.
"My lord, I really want to go with them."
"Shut up!"
"…" Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. Why didn't Chi Hou believe him when he said that he was going to fetch his friend?
Originally, he was going to wait for the other party to come closer before he went over to greet him quietly.
However, Li Jingfeng spoke up.
Then, the enemy unsheathed their bows.
Then, in less than two sentences, the situation had reached this stage. It was too fast, so fast that Fang Zhengzhi did not even have the chance to interrupt.
"Die!"
"Die!"
"..."
The cries of the Red Pinion Squad grew louder and louder. They were ready to kill.
On the other side, the three thousand black-clothed masked soldiers were equally fearless. They aimed their arrows at the Red Pinion Squad, ready to fire at any moment.
Zhang Yangping and the villagers stood behind the Red Pinion Squad.
Everyone was so shocked that their mouths were wide open.
"Zhengzhi, come to the back!"
"They are going to fight. Let's hide in the mountains!"
"Yes, Zhengzhi, come here."
All of the villagers shouted. After all, Fang Zhengzhi was surrounded by the 2,000 Red Pinion Squad soldiers. They did not want Fang Zhengzhi to be caught in the middle of the two armies.
It was too dangerous.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't mind finding a place to hide. However, he couldn't and couldn't hide at this point in time. Hence, he had no choice but to stand out.
"Hang on, put away your weapons!"
Fang Zhengzhi's voice was loud enough for all of the Red Pinion Squad to hear. However, would the Red Pinion Squad listen to him?
Of course not.
As such, it was pointless.
However, the three thousand black-clothed masked soldiers stopped in their tracks. They held their longbows in their hands, and a yellow flag lit up in the middle of the three thousand black-clothed masked soldiers.
"Woosh, woosh woosh!"
Three voices rang out in unison.
The bows were put away and the arrows returned to their backs.
Li Jingfeng was stunned. He did not know what was going on.
The battle cries of the Red Pinion Squad also stopped at this moment because they also didn't understand what was going on.
They were listening to Fang Zhengzhi?
Chi Hou opened his mouth and a trace of shock appeared on his face. However, this shock only lasted for a brief moment before his eyes narrowed.
A pair of tiger-like eyes stared at the three thousand masked soldiers in front of him. He looked at the faintly discernible armor under the black cloaks and the longbows in their hands.
Very quickly, Chi Hou's eyes widened in an instant.
Following that, a speck of emerald green light shone from his hand. It was a speck of light that was as translucent as jade and as green as bamboo. The light flashed and disappeared.
At the same time, the expression of the masked soldier at the very front of the 3,000 masked soldiers changed drastically. Because his body was wrapped in an emerald green color.
"Rip!"
The sound of clothes ripping could be heard.
The black cloak covering his body tore apart. It was almost as if it had been sliced by countless swords, turning into palm-sized shards.
The black shards fell to the ground in the wind.
As the shards fell to the ground, a bright armor was revealed. It was a silvery-white armor with all sorts of patterns on it.
The most eye-catching thing was that there were six clouds on the armor. The clouds were red like blood, and starting from the shoulders of the armor, they were carved into the armor in a hexagonal shape.
Just like the surface of a folding fan!
