The weather was cold, but what was colder was the human heart.
Yan Xiangma felt cold all over, and the blood in his body was about to freeze.
He once again looked up at the sky for a while, where the beautiful figure had long disappeared. However, even the few dark clouds that she had just touched began to make him feel nostalgic.
"She really left." Yan Xiangma muttered to himself. "Not loyal at all."
He got up from the ground, patted off the mud and grass on his body, and then stroked his knees that were smashed by the golden armoured warrior. "It's healed, there's no pain at all — — the woman that I, Yan Xiangma, like is amazing."
He looked around, but did not know where he was at this time.
However, in the distance, he heard the sound of waves rolling.
"This place should be the Tiger pouncing into the river, then it's only hundreds of miles away from Zhongzhou — — If I return to Zhongzhou, will they arrest me as a traitor?"
The corners of Yan Xiangma's mouth curved in a wry smile, and then he leaped up into the sky.
Li Shinian's cultivation technique was too amazing, not only had it cured his leg injury, but also unlocked the restrictions on his body, allowing him to fly unimpeded.
Xu Da had a rare free day, because today he found that the Peacock army did not come to attack the city.
After more than a month of attack and defense, both sides had used their own unique skills and strategies in the battle for Zhongzhou, and had invested hundreds of thousands of soldiers — —
If West Wind lost Zhongzhou, the Peacock army could march straight in and reach Tiandu. Their journey would be unimpeded, and there would no longer be a strong city like Zhongzhou to defend.
And if the Peacock army did not take over Zhongzhou, they may be cut off by such a strong city at any time. At that time, if they did not care about the front and the back, they would most likely leave behind a great threat.
One side defended to the death, the other side seized.
Neither side had a reason to back down.
However, when the Zhongzhou city was about to be lost, why did the Peacock army suddenly call a truce?
It was only after Xu Da asked the military officer that he found out that the Peacock King Ying Boyan was going to behead Yan Xiangma today — — The Emperor of a country was personally supervising the battle to behead a little General of West Wind, and for this matter there was a truce for a day.
"Yan Xiangma can die without regrets." Xu Da sighed in his heart. For a general to be able to do this, it was enough to leave his name in the annals of history. Whether he lived or died, the history books would write him down.
"Yan Xiangma is a talented commander of the younger generation of the West Wind Kingdom, it's a pity — — I still have to give the Yan family an explanation, I think General already has a countermeasure — —"
Just as Xu Da was about to summon his generals to discuss how to defend against the enemy, a young general hurriedly came to report.
"What is it?" Xu Da asked in a deep voice.
"Marshal, General Yan has returned."
"Which General Yan?" Xu Da's expression stiffened as he asked aloud. In the West Wind Kingdom, Yan was a common surname and there were indeed several senior generals, but they were all stationed in various places. Why did he come to the dangerous place of Zhongzhou State at this time?
"General Yan Xiangma." The young general replied.
"Yan Xiangma?" Xu Da jumped up from his chair in shock, asking aloud: "Wasn't he killed by the Peacock army? Why is he back? "
"This — — subordinate does not know."
"Where is he now?"
"Waiting outside the city gate. Because General Zhao said — — said that things are suspicious, so he asked the Marshal to make a decision. "
Xu Da pondered for a moment, before he asked: "He came back alone?"
"Yes."
"Is he injured?"
"It seems — — he's not injured."
"Bring him in." Xu Da made up his mind. "Be vigilant."
"Yes." The young general answered and immediately ran out to pick him up.
Soon, Yan Xiangma, escorted by a group of West Wind Generals, came to the City Lord's residence.
"Greetings Marshal." Yan Xiangma took the initiative to salute to Xu Da.
"General Yan — — is well?"
"Very well." Yan Xiangma grinned. "His head did not fall off, his arm is not missing. I'm just a little hungry. It would be nice if there was something to eat. "
"Go prepare some food for General Yan." Xu Da commanded. Someone naturally went out to prepare it.
Xu Da stared intently at Yan Xiangma, asking: "General Yan — — how did he escape from the Peacock army?"
"He was saved." Yan Xiangma said.
"Oh, who saved General Yan?"
"A woman." Yan Xiangma said with a smile. "An old friend of Jiangnan."
"— —"
The generals looked at each other, a ruminative look in their eyes.
To be able to become a general of an army, one must not only be brave and fierce, but also have intelligence that does not lose to others. Obviously, Yan Xiangma's words could not convince the generals.
Not only did it not convince them, but they even thought it was ridiculous, treating him like an idiot.
Who was the one who captured Yan Xiangma? The King of the Peacock Kingdom, Ying Boyan.
The person that the Peacock King, Ying Boyan, had personally ordered to be killed, could anyone save him? And it was a woman?
Even one of the three mountain masters of Mount Longhu, or the one who disappeared from Starry Sky Academy for a hundred years, the two most powerful women in the divine continent, could not do it, right?
However, Yan Xiangma actually lied in front of them, saying that he was rescued by a woman — — who would believe such words?
"I wonder which lady saved General Yan?"
"To be able to rescue someone from the heavy siege of the Peacock army, General Yan's female friend — — must have a powerful background?"
"General Yan is so lucky to escape from death. We must celebrate General Yan today. Let's hear which goddess saved General Yan, that even Ying Wuyu of the Peacock Kingdom could not do anything about it — —"
… …
Xu Da looked at Yan Xiangma and said with a smile, "Since everyone has doubts, why don't General Yan tell everyone now — — which female goddess saved General Yan from the Peacock army and allowed him to return to Central Continent City safely?"
"Li Shinian." Yan Xiangma said.
"Li Shinian?" Everyone looked confused. "Who is this? I've never heard of this person before. "
"What's his name? Or, which sect does he come from? "
"General Yan wouldn't be lying to us, would he? He just casually said a nobody and made us waste our time guessing — — "
※ ※ ※
Yan Xiangma looked at Xu Da and said with a smile, "Others may not know, but the marshal should know who Li Shinian is, right?"
"Li Muyang's sister — —" Xu Da said in a low voice.
When it came to Li Muyang, Xu Da's attitude became subtle. Everyone knew that the little dragon was the grandson of the Duke, and Li Shinian was the little dragon's favorite sister. Yan Xiangma said that he was saved by Li Shinian, so it was not easy to express his opinion on this matter.
After all, the old Duke stood behind him, and they were a family in the real sense. What could an outsider like him say?
"That's right." Yan Xiangma said with a laugh, "I know you know him, after all, the marshal is one of us, isn't it?"
"What do you mean one of us?" Xu Da said coldly.
Yan Xiangma did not comment and said aloud, "After filling my stomach, I want to see that person — —"
"Which person?"
"Marshal, do you want me to say it in public? If you don't mind, I don't mind either. "Yan Xiangma said somewhat roguishly.
Xu Da's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly, "Go eat first. As for the other matters, I will take care of them. "
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

"Poof — —"
"Poof — —"
Snowball waved its little paws and darted around, its mouth constantly spitting bubbles. It was adorable and proud.
The Wolf King was burning in flames high in the sky, looking majestic and extraordinary.
Li Muyang floated in mid-air, holding the unconscious Qiandu tightly in his arms.
In front of them, there was a small blue fish swimming around.
This little fish was the little blue fish that Snowball encountered when it dived into the black sea, the fish that later transformed into the Kun beast.
The Northern Sea had disappeared, the black sea had disappeared.
All the insects, fish, and trees in the black sea had all disappeared, which was the substance that the Kun beast had transformed over hundreds of millions of years, and did not really exist.
And the Kun beast that was thousands of miles long had turned into this little fish, a lonely and pitiful little fish.
It wanted to struggle, to resist, to escape.
But, in this unknown territory, there was Snowball staring at it, the Wolf King staring at it, and the dragon-blood-like eyes — —
It was so weak that it was unable to resist at all.
"You — — do you know what you are doing?" The little blue fish spoke in the human language. "I am a demigod, a Kun that is about to ascend to the divine race. It was God who gave me responsibility and lifespan to create the Northern Sea — — If you kill me, the Northern Sea will disappear forever, and God will blame you. You will be punished. "
The little blue fish twisted its tail and swam in front of Li Muyang.
There was no water, not even air.
But, in this high altitude, it swam like a fish.
"Especially you, you are also a demigod — — a person who is about to ascend to become a God — — if you kill me, you will violate the law of heaven, and you will never be able to ascend — —"
"As long as I can save Qiandu, I am willing to do anything. Not to mention violating the law of heaven, so what if I lose my life? "Li Muyang said coldly. "Today, I will kill you. Even if I die a hundred times, I will not hesitate. "
"Wait — —" The little blue fish hurriedly said, "You said you only want my crystal soul?"
"That's right." Li Muyang was taken aback for a moment before he replied.
"What if I give you the crystal soul?"
"Give me the crystal soul — —" Li Muyang looked at the little blue fish with puzzled eyes, asking, "Can you still live?"
"The crystal soul of a fish is just a fish bubble — — I can give you half, and keep the other half for myself, you won't be able to use it all anyway — —"
"Then … — why weren't you willing to give it before?" Li Muyang was burning with anger. When I asked you for it before, you just gave me a little, and didn't have to waste so much time fighting.
"I thought — — you can't beat me anyway, why should I give it to you? You should know that this is where essence and qi are absorbed — — "The little blue fish said timidly. "I will give you half of the crystal soul to save someone, and you will spare my life, how about that?"
"Deal!" Li Muyang gritted his teeth. "Let's turn enemies into friends, and ascend to become Gods together — —"
