Peacock Imperial Court. Scorching Sun Hall.
The Peacock King was wearing a purple robe embroidered with a fiery peacock. He was sitting upright on the throne that looked like a huge thorny tree.
In the main hall, the envoy of the West Wind Kingdom, Xiong Feihu, was speaking vehemently with an indignant face: "For thousands of years, West Wind and the Peacock Imperial Court have been friends and neighbours, living in harmony and rarely have weapons. West Wind respected the traditions of the Peacock Imperial Court, and also admired the long history and profound culture of the Peacock Imperial Court. There is a lot of trade between the two countries, and the merchants and citizens of the two countries have a lot of exchanges. "
"West Wind regards the Peacock imperial court as a friend, but the Peacock imperial court regards my West Wind as an enemy. This time Princess Qiandu of the Peacock Imperial Court led thousands of elites of the Ghost dancer corps into the territory of my West Wind Kingdom without permission, slaughtered thousands of elites of my West Wind Kingdom, and caused the complete destruction of the Kingdom's Lion Qilin army. Commander-in-chief Song Lang was also killed by Princess Qiandu — — Such evil deeds have angered even the gods. Won't the Peacock King give my West Wind Kingdom an explanation? "
"Do you have any evidence?" The Peacock King, who was thin and had the aura of a scholar, asked.
"Everyone knows this. Don't tell me the Peacock King still wants to deny it?" Xiong Feihu felt humiliated and said angrily.
"Who do you mean by 'everyone knows'? Pull them in front of This Prince and let me see. "
"The Peacock King is making things difficult for us …"
"Look, you came all the way here to attack my daughter, saying that my daughter killed someone. I'm not even angry yet, so what are you angry about? Calm down, calm down. If you have something to say, say it … What did you say just now? "
"…"
"Are you alright now?" The Peacock King waited for a while, but did not wait for the West Wind envoy to talk about business, yawned and said: "If there's nothing else then disperse. This Prince is tired and wants to rest for a while. "
"If the Peacock King wants a witness, I'll bring one for you." Xiong Feihu said in a loud voice, "I want to see how long the Peacock King will continue to quibble with the witness and material evidence here."
Xiong Feihu cupped his hands towards the sky and said, "Peacock King, do you dare to let my men bring the witnesses up here?"
"Is there really a witness?" The Peacock King raised his slender eyebrows and asked in dissatisfaction.
"What? Was the Peacock King afraid of being exposed? Are you afraid that someone will tell the truth in public? "
"Since there is a witness, then this king will meet him for the time being." The Peacock King said.
Xiong Feihu turned around and said to his trusted aide, "Bring him in personally."
"Yes. The young man accepted the order and left.
Very soon, the young man ran in with a long face and shouted, "Sir, sir …"
"What's the matter?" Xiong Feihu turned around and asked. Looking at the young man's expression, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Milord, they …"
"Let's talk this out. What the hell happened? "
"Our witness was fine, but as he was walking … he suddenly fell to the ground and died," the young man said with a sullen face. "The people of the Peacock Imperial Court must have done something. Otherwise, he wouldn't just … just die like that. "
"Venomous slander. How could our Peacock imperial court do such a despicable thing? "
"Lord Bear, you have to watch your words in front of His Highness … We are also very surprised that one of your men died. Maybe you guys died from exhaustion because you were in such a hurry? Am I right? "
"Where's the evidence? You slandered the people of our Peacock Imperial Court, where's the evidence? "
※ ※ ※
"You?" Xiong Feihu pointed to the ministers of the Peacock Imperial Court, his face purplish red and his body trembling incessantly. "You — —"
"Lord Bear, you have to pay attention to the evidence." The Peacock King 'slumped' in another direction. His lazy voice came from a high place as he said, "If I say that you attacked my daughter Ying Qiandu for no reason and accused my ministers of misconduct … I have evidence for all of this. Because it all happened right under this king's nose. But, Lord Bear, you slandered my daughter for crossing the border to kill people, where is the evidence? "
"The thousands of dead Qilin army soldiers are the evidence."
"Where are the officials of the Ministry of Revenue? Calculate the number of deaths of the Peacock Imperial Court this year, and then go to the West Wind Kingdom to ask for an explanation. They killed the innocent people of my Peacock Imperial Court — — "
"You — —"
"You see, you don't want me to do that, right? Can Lord Bear understand my grievances now? "
"Princess Qiandu's actions are like a declaration of war against my West Wind Kingdom. I, the Emperor of West Wind, let my officials ask the Peacock King, is the Peacock Imperial Court also the same attitude as Princess Qiandu, and want to enter a state of war with my West Wind Kingdom?"
"What a headache." The Peacock King rubbed his head in annoyance, asking aloud, "Lord Bear, I have spoken for a long time, why don't you understand? You said my daughter Qiandu crossed the border of your West Wind Kingdom, then I want to ask, where did she cross from? Are the soldiers of your West Wind Kingdom made of paper? Do you think people can enter and leave as they please? And it's an army of thousands of people, it's impossible to hide from your eyes, right? "
"— —"
"You said she killed countless people in the West Wind Kingdom, and even wiped out the entire Qilin army — — If that's the case, is there no one in the West Wind Kingdom? How can you let my daughter do as she pleases without being able to do anything? "
"Peacock King means — — my West Wind Kingdom can use any means against Princess Qiandu, regardless of the casualties?"
"Of course." The Peacock King said with a serious face. "However, if my daughter bumps into anything, I will take the army to seek justice for her. Lord Bear, I only have one daughter, she is more important than my life. In her matter, I was a little unreasonable — — you have to forgive me. You also have a daughter, right? "
"— —"

The wind in the north was cold, like there were countless steel knives cutting across people's faces and bodies.
Lu Wuyong led the generals to stand on the city gate tower, as though he was discussing with his subordinates whether to surrender to the Peacock Imperial Court or not.
A gust of wind blew past, and the armours of the soldiers on the city gate tower rattled. Yellow sand filled the sky, and everyone had turned into a travel-worn native.
Qiandu was standing on a horse outside the city gate, on the wilderness. The sky was cold and the ground was frozen, and snow was swirling in the air. Behind her were the five thousand Ghost dancer corps of the Peacock Imperial Court whose name shook the divine continent.
The wild wind was blowing, lifting the colourful clothes of the thousands of Ghost dancer corps, and the colourful feathers on their heads were fluttering. They were like beautiful flags.
Qiandu was waiting for Lu Wuyong's final decision, at least on the surface.
"General, it is said that Princess Qiandu of the Peacock Imperial Court is talented, does she really believe that we will surrender to her?" On the city wall, a strategist reminded in a low voice.
"She naturally does not believe that I will surrender to her, and she did not come to ask us to surrender. How could she so casually lead thousands of the most elite soldiers of the Peacock Imperial Court to ask others to surrender? "
"So, what is her intention this time? Does she not know — — that she will soon be besieged by four armies, and the situation is critical? "
"Asking to surrender is fake, attracting our attention is real." Lu Wuyong's mouth curved in a mocking sneer. "We did not see Li Muyang at the side of the little princess. If I am not wrong, he should be trying to get into the City Lord's residence to save his parents and family, right?"
"City Lord, since we know that they will do such a dirty trick, why don't we take precautions earlier, why are we wasting time here with her?"
"They are acting, why aren't we also acting? The little princess led the Ghost dancer corps to ask for surrender, in order to nail me and the generals on the city wall, so as to give Li Muyang the opportunity to act. But we are standing on the city wall to keep the little princess of the Peacock Imperial Court. When the other three armies arrive, we will beat the drum and attack, and capture them all in one fell swoop — — If we can capture the little princess of the Peacock Imperial Court alive and wipe out the Ghost dancer corps. This will be a great credit. I would like to congratulate you in advance, the day of your meteoric rise is just around the corner. "
"But, General — — with us here, what about the City Lord's residence?" A general asked worriedly. "If Li Muyang really breaks in and rescues his parents and family, wouldn't that be taking care of one thing and losing the other? Although Li Muyang is not as noble as the princess of the Peacock Imperial Court, but he is an evil dragon — — If he escapes this time, it will be as difficult as ascending to Heaven to capture him again, right? Moreover, the dragon is narrow-minded and vengeful. If we let the dragon return to Heaven, I'm afraid he will retaliate against us in the future. "
"Don't worry. You just need to accompany me in this play, and keep the little princess of the Peacock Imperial Court here. "Lu Wuyong said with a strange smile. "As for the City Lord's residence, there are experts guarding it. It doesn't matter if Li Muyang doesn't come, as long as he appears in my City Lord's residence, the divine object will sense it. At that time, the evil dragon won't be able to escape even if it has wings. "
"General means that there is another expert in charge of the residence?"
"In terms of wisdom and scheming, how can these little dolls be compared with the Old immortal of the Song family?"
Everyone was shocked.
"It turns out that Old immortal had long expected this day, so he had set up an ambush in the City Lord's residence — —"
"Old immortal's wisdom is as vast as the sea, there is nothing in the world that can hide from him — —"
"With Old immortal in charge of the situation, and the strong people of Starry Sky in the City Lord's residence, we don't have to worry needlessly — —"

At this moment, there was the sound of a horn in the distance and the clatter of hooves.
The earth was trembling under the trampling of the armoured cavalry. With Wind City as the centre, the eastern, western, and northern fronts, each had an army encircling this place. The five thousand Ghost dancer corps at the gate of Wind City were constantly encircling them.
"General, the armies of Sky Sea City in the East, White Emperor City in the West and Wolf Pass in the North have arrived, forming a pincer attack with us. The Ghost dancer corps is already in our trap."
"It's time." An excited smile surfaced on Lu Wuyong's face. "Sound the drums, tell Lu Tiesheng to lead the thirty thousand troops to attack immediately."
"Yes."
The young general responded, rushing over to snatch the drum stick from the drummer's hand, and began to beat the drums with all his might.
The gates of Wind City were wide open, and Lu Tiesheng, one of Lu Wuyong's subordinates, was the first to rush out of the city gate, followed by thirty thousand Wind City armoured cavalry.
"Kill." Lu Tiesheng roared.
"Kill." Thirty thousand people responded in unison.
