The loud noise of the fireball falling into Wind City had woken up the people and soldiers of the entire city.
Countless people woke up from their dreams, crying and shouting as they dragged their children and the old and the young to run outside.
However, the streets outside had already turned into a sea of fire, and from time to time there were fireballs falling from the sky. Where was their way of escape? Where was the safe place for them to hide?
The soldiers who had just woken up from their sweet dreams or wet dreams were already prepared. Under the leadership of the squad leaders, they quickly entered their defensive area, waiting for the arrival of the anticipated life and death battle.
They had no more choice, kill or be killed.
When Qiandu rushed to the City Lord's residence, all the people in the residence had been awakened.
She had arranged for the five thousand elites of the Ghost Dance to be stationed inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion. This was the most loyal and most powerful force that she could control. She had arranged for them to be by her side in order to protect Li Muyang's family from harm at the critical moment.
Under the heavy encirclement of the ghost mask soldiers, Luo Chi, Li Yan, Lu Tianyu, Li Shinian, as well as Lin Canghai, Gongshu Yuan, Lu Qiji and others were standing in the center of the encirclement.
Seeing that Qiandu had returned, Lu Qiji nodded to her, before her figure fluttered and she soared into the sky.
She did not want to see Li Muyang fighting alone, and he should have companions around him who could help him.
Before Qiandu returned, she was the backbone of this group of people. Now that Qiandu had returned, she could leave to help Li Muyang without worry.
Qiandu looked gratefully at her back. There was not much communication between the two, and there was even some inexplicable estrangement between them. However, Qiandu knew what she was thinking and what she would do.
"Sister Qiandu, how is my brother?" Li Shinian asked anxiously.
Luo Chi and Li Yan were also worried about Li Muyang's safety, but they could resist asking. Because they were afraid that the answer would make them more anxious.
Li Shinian didn't care about this. The battle outside was so intense that she had to know what her brother was doing right now.
"He's fine." Qiandu said aloud. "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Scanning the crowd, not seeing Gongsun Yu's figure, he asked aloud: "Where is Aunt Gongsun?"
"My mother was in the room with my father. I wanted to push them out. She said that with her father and her there, we couldn't escape. It is better to let them guard Wind City, so that they can give an explanation to the people of Wind City who are able to survive or unfortunately died unjustly. " Lu Tianyu said with tears in his eyes: "Mother also said that the ancestral hall of the Lu clan is still here and needs someone to look after it."
"I'll go in and have a look." Qiandu said aloud, quickly running inside.
Pushing open the door, she saw Gongsun Yu changing Lu Qingming's clothes with the help of several pretty maidservants.
Seeing Qiandu come in, Gongsun Yu said in a soft voice: "Wind City is difficult to protect, those people will break into the city — — Wind City is the Wind City of the Lu clan, and also the place where the ancestors of the Lu clan are buried. Qingming can't go, I can't go either. If we escape with you, it will only drag you down and increase the losses. I will change Qingming's clothes, and when those people break in, we will entertain them with the identity of the Lord of Wind City. We cannot lose face. "
"I promised Li Muyang that I will protect the safety of your family. If Aunt Gongsun does not leave, I can only stay in Wind City. "Qiandu stated aloud.
"Silly child, think about it, even if we leave, where can we go?"
"To the Peacock imperial court." Qiandu stated in a low voice. "My Peacock imperial court will certainly be able to protect the lives of Aunt Gongsun and her family."
"If you go, I also go, what about the people and soldiers in the city? What about them? " Gongsun Yu smiled. "They have lived in Wind City with our Lu clan for generations, they are of the same breath and branch with our Lu clan, they are one. And those soldiers who had defected to his side, could they also escape with him? Can they also get the protection of the Peacock imperial court? If this time our Lu clan escapes and abandons them, then what face does the Lu clan have to regain the morale of the army and restore the glory of the family? "
"But — —"
"Qiandu, I understand your intentions, but please also understand mine. I'm old, I can't run anymore. As the daughter-in-law of the Lu clan, let me temporarily rest in the hometown of the Lu clan. "Gongsun Yu said in a tough manner. "I will entrust Tianyu and Shinian to you to take care of, and Muyang — — I also need your help. I don't care what his identity is, he is my son. He is not a bad person, let alone a bad dragon — — If you help him, he will not let you down. He is a grateful person. "
"Aunt Gongsun, come with us — —"
Gongsun Yu shook her head. "I have said all that needs to be said, let me tidy up Qingming. And the girls around me, take them all with you — — "
Plop — —
Under the leadership of Jing 'er, Xi Xue and the other three maids dropped to their knees.
"Madam, if you don't go, Jing 'er won't go — —"
"Madam, let Xi Xue stay and take care of you. Madam must have someone to order around — — "
"Madam, I also want to stay — —"
※ ※ ※
Gongsun Yu waved her hand and said in a tough manner, "Go."
"Madam — —"
"What? You don't even listen to me? "
"Madam — —"
Qiandu knew that Aunt Gongsun had made up her mind, gritting her teeth. "Aunt Gongsun, rest assured, as long as the war stops, I will be able to protect the safety of Wind City. No matter what, I will not let Wind City fall into the hands of the West Wind Kingdom. "
If Wind City fell back into the hands of the West Wind Kingdom, then Gongsun Yu and Lu Qingming, as well as the people and soldiers of the city — — most likely would not survive.
This was also the reason why Li Muyang did not dare to flee in advance, because if he did, the West Wind Kingdom would certainly not believe him. They would then send an army and masters to attack the city, in order to retaliate against the West Wind and the Lu clan.
At that time, West Wind City would most likely flow with rivers of blood.
Thinking about it carefully, the human race was sometimes not as kind and reliable as a dragon.
"Thank you." Gongsun Yu looked at Qiandu and nodded with a smile. "Muyang this child really has good taste."
Qiandu dragged up several servants from the ground. "Come out with me."
When the people in the room had all left, Gongsun Yu was in a daze for a while, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, and began to comb the hair of her husband who was leaning against the bed.
"Qingming, you are unconscious, I don't know if my arrangement is right — — but I think, this Wind City is the Wind City of your Lu clan, it has been like this for thousands of years. The souls and bones of the ancestors of the Lu clan are buried here, there must be people of the Lu Family here to guard it. "
"If we lose Wind City, we will lose the strength of the Lu clan. In the future, where will the roots of the Lu clan fall? Qiandu is a good child, the Peacock imperial court is also a good place, but that is someone else's empire, someone else's city, Wind City is our home — — "
"Besides, your health is not good, my health is also not good, if we run away together, it will only make things difficult for the children — — we can't help them, but we also can't harm them. Us husband and wife will stay here. Even if we die, when people mention this, they will say — — that Lu Qingming of the Lu clan died in battle in Wind City, and that he lived and died with the people of Wind City. "
Lu Qingming's face was sallow, his eyes tightly closed, his skinny hand gently lifted up, and then weakly patted the back of Gongsun Yu's hand, his lips were cracked, but he still tried to make a sound: "Yes — —"
