Crunch, crunch — —
The wheels rolled over the ice and snow, making a shattering sound.
The horses' hooves were raised and fell at the same time, neat and uniform.
The horses spat out large clouds of white gas from their mouths, fusing with the cold mist in the air, indicating that they had just experienced a long and arduous journey and were exhausted.
These were all frontier warhorses, monsters that could carry fully-armored warriors on the battlefield to charge and kill … But at this moment, they were exhausted to this state. It was clear what kind of terrible things they had experienced before.
Hundreds of black-clad soldiers clustered around a black carriage. Their bodies were wrapped in black iron armour and wore steel wolf masks on their heads. This was the Wolf Cavalry that was famous throughout the Divine continent.
They were created by Lu Xingkong, the head of the Lu Family. Although there were not many of them, they were invincible and invincible. Charging and breaking through enemy lines, they were unparalleled.
When Lu Xingkong left the battlefield, he only took hundreds of Wolf Cavalry back to Tiandu. These people were also the main force to protect the safety of Lu Xingkong and the Lu family's mansion.
Now that these Wolf Cavalry appeared in the wilderness, it proved that there must be a direct descendant of the Lu Family in the vicinity.
Crunch, crunch — —
The wheels rumbled.
Wheezing — —
The horses neighed.
The wind did not stop, and the snow stopped. A cold moon appeared in the sky.
It was this cold moon and the silver moonlight on the vast land that illuminated their path. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for them to move quickly in this deep snow without torches or illuminating pearls on this desolate mountain ridge.
If it wasn't for Xiaoxin going to a cliff or a pit, it would be dangerous.
Snow. The world was full of blood snow.
Blood. There was a continuous line of red blood in the heavy snow.
The longer the convoy went, the longer the line of blood was.
There were injured people and animals in the convoy. They were rushing all the way and encountered seven interceptions, and did not even have the time and energy to simply bandage their wounds.
Galloping.
Galloping.
To a destination they did not know.
Crack — —
The two black-clad soldiers at the front suddenly stopped.
A wolf-headed soldier raised his right hand, and the Wolf Cavalry behind immediately reined in their hooves and put their hands on the hilt of their swords.
Silence.
Dead silence.
The mountain path was steep, and the cold moon was lonely.
Amidst the heavy snow, a hundred black horses escorted a single carriage in the middle of the snow.
He did not move forward, nor did he retreat.
They just stood there quietly, looking forward with their hands on the hilts of their swords.
The warhorses seemed to have sensed danger. They twisted their bodies restlessly and dug at the snow under their feet.
However, under the control of those black iron knights, they could only stay where they were; instead of escaping away, they could only stay where they were.
Kacha …
In front, at the end of the darkness, a man wearing the three-headed snake uniform of the Monitoring Division and a red cloak walked out.
Then the second, the third …
Densely packed black robed men, groups of Monitoring Division uniforms.
It was as if the entire Supervisory Division of the Empire had been gathered here.
Cui Jian looked at the elite wolf-headed soldiers sitting high on the warhorses, and exclaimed in admiration: "It really is the invincible Wolf Army. I have prepared a big gift for you, but you were able to warn us in advance and did not dare to take a step forward — — It would be a pity if the elite division was destroyed. If you are willing to surrender, I am willing to give you a way out. Let bygones be bygones. "
His black armor was stern, and his eyes were deep.
The hundreds of Wolf Cavalry did not say a word.
They did not think Cui Jian was here to praise them.
Cui Jian curled his lips, unconcerned. Looking at the black carriage in the middle of the Wolf Cavalry, a mocking smile surfaced on his lips, and he said in a loud and clear voice: "Madam Lu, how have you been? It's windy and snowing heavily outside, but Madam Lu brought Young Master Tianyu to play in the wilderness. Don't catch a cold. "
No one responded.
The black carriage quietly stopped there, and the black Wolf Cavalry also quietly stopped there.
No one was willing to talk to Cui Jian, and no one was willing to respond to his sarcastic question.
Cui Jian raised his eyebrows and said aloud again: "Madam Lu, junior has travelled thousands of miles to visit you, you have to say a word to junior. Madam Lu is also from a prestigious family in Yingchuan, and the Gongsun family is also one of the top aristocratic families in the Empire. Moreover, the gold coins of that family, if piled up together, would be higher than the black mountain in the distance? Speaking of which, we all live on the same street in Tiandu, one on the east and one on the west, but in the end we are neighbours — — what is that saying again? A close neighbour is better than a distant relative. Cui Jian came to visit, but Madam Lu did not say a word, is it not in line with aristocratic etiquette? "
Inside the carriage, there was still no sound.
Cui Jian's brows knitted in a frown, turning to look at a member of the Monitoring Division next to him. "Are you sure that Gongsun Yu and the little bastard of the Lu Family are in this carriage?"
"Yes, Chief Inspector." The member of the Monitoring Division bowed. "When General Song led his troops to attack the House of Duke, he encountered a fierce counterattack led by Li Kefeng's City Patrol Division. Madam Gongsun implemented the 'Spring Breeze Plan', they set fire to the Lu residence and several neighbouring residences. Before that, they had stored a large amount of black oil and charcoal in the Lu residence. Those things ignited immediately, and even strong winds and heavy snow could not drown them. "
"Trash, I asked you if you can be sure that Gongsun Yu and the little bastard of the Lu Family are in this carriage — — you just have to answer my question."
"Yes, Chief Inspector." The Monitoring Division member quickly apologised. "When General Song wiped out all the traitors of the City Patrol Division and killed Li Kefeng, the Lu residence was already in a sea of fire. General Song sent people to search the Lu residence, but did not find the bodies of the servants and maids of the Lu residence — — they had already evacuated through a secret passage. Now General Song is leading a team to pursue. Our people have been keeping an eye on the movements of the Wolf Army. When they received the carriage in the backyard of the Lu residence, they immediately fled outside Tiandu — — "
Cui Jian's face turned ugly. "You mean, if the group of people that Song Lang is chasing does not include Madam Lu and the bastard of the Lu Family, then they are in this carriage — — is that right?"
"I am incompetent." The Monitoring Division member hurriedly bowed and apologised.
"No matter." The smile on Cui Jian's face was ferocious. "Since Madam Lu does not want to talk, then I will personally ask her to get off the carriage — — I'll go and tear down her carriage, I want to see if she can still sit comfortably in the carriage. Maybe when she feels the cold of the wilderness, she will take the initiative to throw herself into my arms — — "
"Cousin — —" A man in a three-headed snake uniform of the Monitoring Division frowned. "In any case, Madam Lu is an elder — —"
"Elder?" Cui Jian stared at the man coldly. "Yan Xiangma, do you know how the Lu Family killed Cui Zhaoren?"
"I know, but — —"
"But what? They killed Cui Zhaoren, not even a piece of bone or flesh could be found, not even a chance to be buried in the ancestral grave or the Cui family's ancestral hall — — Cui Zhaoren can only be a lonely ghost, wandering outside forever. "Cui Jian roared. "They killed Cui Zhaoren, that old man of the Lu Family and Chu Xianda are acting, saying that Li Muyang is a young hero, a hero of Tiandu — — A person who kills is a hero, a hero, then what is Cui Zhaoren?"
"They treated our Cui family like that, and you still think that woman is an elder — — In my eyes there are no elders, only enemies. Whether they are a man or a woman, whether they are an old man or a woman, as long as they are a member of the Lu Family, they are the sworn enemy of our Cui family — — "
Cui Jian stared thoughtfully at Yan Xiangma, and said in a ruminating tone, "Yan Xiangma, you don't sympathize with the Lu Family, do you? Or — — Chu Xianda, that old bastard's conditions moved you? "
"Cousin — —" Yan Xiangma's eyes flashed with anger. "An aristocrat should have the demeanor of an aristocrat, I just don't want you to insult a poor woman who can be called an elder. Besides, when did I agree to Chu Xianda's conditions? When he said those words to me, did I not tell Grandfather the whole story — — did I keep anything back? "
"Yan Xiangma, others don't understand you, but I understand you." Cui Jian said with a smile. "When did you tell Grandfather after Chu Xianda talked to you? The next night. What did you do that day? Such a confidential matter, such important information, but you only said it the next night — — Chu Xianda's words must have hit the bottom of your heart, right? The Yan family is not completely without a chance to replace the Cui family. Are you tempted? Do you want to gamble with them? "
"Cousin, you're slandering me — — when did I have such an idea?"
"Heaven and earth know, you and I know. There are some things that everyone is well aware of. "The chill in Cui Jian's eyes was frightening. "Do you think you can hide from Grandfather with your little cleverness? In the past thousands of years, which conflict, which change in the situation, was not my Cui family the biggest beneficiary? Just based on your Yan family, you want to replace the Cui family? Yan Xiangma, tell me, are you stupid or not? Are you stupid or not? "
"If cousin insists on this idea, then I have nothing to say." Yan Xiangma said coldly.
"You naturally have nothing to say. Because you have a guilty conscience. " Cui Jian was not willing to let go of this opportunity to beat Yan Xiangma. "Of course, you can also prove your innocence. I know that when you were in Jiangnan, you and Li Muyang are old friends. In that case, go and kill these people in front of you — — kill Gongsun Yu, kill Lu Tianyu. In this way, I will believe that you have not been bewitched by Chu Xianda, and your Yan family and our Cui family are still on the same side — — Are you willing to prove your loyalty? Prove the loyalty of your Yan family? "
Yan Xiangma's expression was gloomy, his eyes bloodshot.
Clang!
He pulled out the sword in his hand, walking step by step towards the group of Wolf cavalry.
