1504 How About Joining Forces?
“This, this… Both of them are rare, one an inscription master, the other an array master. Why aren’t they staying at the back? Why are they joining in the fun?”
“Right, the beast tide is not a joke!”
“Are we crazy, or are the members of the Liang family crazy? They actually brought these two Buddhas to the front line, tempting fate. The Liang family is really sinful!”
However, no matter how much everyone condemned what the Liang family did, Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan still set off for the front line of the city gate with the Liang family’s team.
On the other side, Duanmu Chun, who received the news, was so angry that he suddenly swept the tea set on the table to the ground.
“Since they like tempting fate, let them all die! If I can’t get it, no one else can either!”
“Your Highness, the Fourth Prince knows that the Liang family is going to defend the city, so he wants to request to go to the front line with them,” the reporting guard said.
A hint of viciousness flashed through Duanmu Chun’s eyes when he heard that. “How much time is left?”
The guard thought for a moment before replying cautiously, “His Highness will die of old age quickly in two days at most.”
“Two days.”
Duanmu Chun sneered. “Since my good fourth brother wants to advance and retreat with the Liang family, let him go. The crime of the Liang family murdering the prince is not bad. Do you know what to do?”
“Yes, I understand!” The guard bowed respectfully and said.
Duanmu Chun waved his hand and said, “Go, send my fourth brother off yourself.”
“Yes, Master!”
…
On the city wall of Zhuang Prefectural City.
“Lord Li, I’m here to take over the position of guarding the city.”
After bringing the hundred people up the city wall, Liang Zongxing was the first to find Li Niansheng and cupped his hands.
Li Niansheng, who was observing the terrain outside the city, had a complicated expression when he heard that.
However, in the end, it only turned into a sigh. “I’ll leave Zhuang Prefectural City to Fellow Taoist Liang.”
“I’ll definitely do my best.” Liang Zongxing nodded as if he didn’t see that Li Niansheng wanted to say something but hesitated.
Li Niansheng soon found Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan, who were hiding in the crowd, and couldn’t help frowning deeply.
He immediately persuaded, “Fellow Taoist Liang, the eldest prince can be said to be the king of Delin Country right now. Even the emperor can’t do anything to him. Fellow Taoist Liang, you should still…”
“Thank you for your reminder, Lord Li.” Before Li Niansheng finished speaking, Liang Zongxing interrupted him.
He knew that Li Niansheng had good intentions, and it was precisely because of this that he had to interrupt him.
After all, the walls had ears. It would be bad if what Li Niansheng said reached the eldest prince’s ears.
Seeing that Liang Zongxing didn’t want to continue this topic, Li Niansheng couldn’t say anything else. He said a few more polite words and left with his troops.
After Li Niansheng left, Liang Zongxing arranged for people to guard various posts.
Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan, on the city wall, looked at the Firerock Forest in the distance.
At this moment, the Firerock Forest was very quiet, like the calm before the storm, waiting for the next eruption.
“It’s already so frequent that there will be a beast tide every two days. Ah Yan, what do you think?”
Lu Zijia looked at the mess outside the city wall and couldn’t help frowning slightly as she asked the man next to her.
Mu Tianyan pondered for a while and said, “The beast tide broke out once every seven days at the beginning, and then the time it broke out became shorter and shorter. Until now, it’s been two days. If this continues, the beast tide will only erupt more and more frequently. The Liang family won’t be able to hold on for long.”
“So, it’s time to show our true strength. How about a combination of our power?” Lu Zijia tiptoed, raised her arm and put it on her man’s shoulder, saying with a sneaky look.
Those who didn’t know better would think that she was about to do something bad!
