Chapter 305 - Eight Kings of the Berserker TribeIt turned out that the war between the Wind Cloud Kingdom and the Goliath had such an inside story. Although Xiang Yun was the Crown Prince"s son, he had never liked to read the books and records of the ancient countries. He knew very little about countries other than the Wind Cloud Kingdom.
However, he wasn"t sure about the strength of the barbarians. He had heard that the barbarians were born with bloodthirsty blood and their bodies were as tough as the Cloud Beasts. They were born to fight.
It seemed like the barbarians were actually able to fight with a super dynasty like the Western Xia Dynasty. Even if they were defeated in the end, there would still be no casualties. This showed the strength of the barbarians.
It turned out that the Wind Cloud Country had only been facing eleven or twelve percent of the barbarian"s forces. Now that the barbarians had recovered their Yuan power, the entire country could invade from the south …
"Hiss!"Xiang Yun found it hard to imagine what was happening, especially when that man had been seriously injured. Within the entire Wind Cloud Country, who would dare to confront the barbarians? Who could possibly stop their iron hooves!
His big brother, second brother? Xiang Yun believed that if he was given some time to grow up, these two martial arts geniuses might be able to surpa.s.s his father. But now, they had not grown to the point where they could lead troops and fight against the barbarians.Seeing that Xiang Yun"s expression had turned somewhat ugly, Xiao Ding reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Brother Wei, although I don"t want to say it, I still have to advise you. You"d better not join the army at the Cold City Pa.s.s."
I found out through some channels that the disturbance in the Tiger City was related to the barbarian army. At present, even the garrison troops of the Wind Cloud Country were in danger and did not dare to patrol the Tiger City. If you join the army, then you will have no connection with the army.
Xiang Yun couldn"t help but reveal a shocked expression, "Could it be that these barbarians are already bold enough to blatantly break the agreement and even dare to attack the defending army of Tiger City?"
Xiao Ding smiled wryly, "Brother Wei, what is the difference between acting in public and acting in private? Do you know who are the generals of the barbarian race?"
"Who is it?"
"It"s Andre, one of the eight great kings of the barbarian race!""The eight great kings?" Xiang Yun had never heard of any eight great barbarian kings.
Xiao Ding then explained to him that apart from the Barbarian King, he also had eight brothers who helped him guard the Barbarian"s territory. They were known as the "Eight Kings of the Barbarian Tribe".
These eight people were all top experts of the barbarian race. They could fight well and were invincible. They were the eight ultimate generals of the barbarian race who had fought victorious battles for the barbarian king!
In the great battle against the Western Xia Dynasty, the eight kings, six kings, and four kings were all killed, leaving only the seven kings, Andre, the five kings, Tun Nai, the two kings, GMu Ang, and a general!
It was said that he and Xiang Tian had once fought outside the Cold City Pa.s.s. The two battled for a day and a night, and at the end of the day and night, Andrew was defeated, and the barbarian army led by him was also unable to withstand the wild a.s.sault of the Snow Wolf cavalry.
Such a sensitive person was once again sent by the Barbarian Emperor to the northern border of the Windcloud Nation. The subtleties of this arrangement were obvious. The ambition of the barbarians to invade the southern border was obvious!
"Brother Wei, let the great battle begin!" Xiao Ding had a worried expression as he poured himself a cup of wine.
After selling off these herbs, I have also decided that the Xiao Clan"s business will no longer be in the Tiger City. All of the shop staff will leave, and if Brother Wei is not willing to join the army, you can wait for a few days inside.
Xiao Ding looked at Xiang Yun, waiting for his reply.
Xiang Yun was silent for a moment, before finally shaking his head firmly, "I did not return the bow. Since we"ve already reached the Cold City Pa.s.s, there"s no reason for us to turn back. Many thanks to Uncle Xiao for his good intentions."
Xiao Ding"s eyes lit up when he heard this. He stared fixedly at Xiang Yun, as if he wanted to see through this young man in front of him. He seemed timid and weak, but at this moment, he released an indomitable, fearless aura.
However, Xiang Yun"s next sentence caused the Xiao family"s patriarch to suddenly feel speechless.
"I"ve made up my mind. I"ll go to the Cold City Pa.s.s to be a creepy soldier. I won"t have to worry about food or clothes, I don"t even need to go to the battlefield. I"m most suited for people like me who are afraid of death."
"Uh, it"s getting late. Brother Wei, go back to your room and rest. I"ll take my leave first."
While Xiang Yun was sitting alone in the carriage, his heart was filled with countless thoughts. After learning more about the Cold City Pa.s.s from Xiao Ding, his heart felt increasingly heavy. It seemed that the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.
At this moment, he couldn"t help but think of the man from the southern border of the Wind Cloud Country. He had been a.s.sa.s.sinated by four Sky Cloud Martial School"s experts, and was severely injured.He thought of the huge fellow in the Cold City Pa.s.s who used to be ferocious and love to wave his fists at him. With his temperament, he would probably be extremely anxious to face such a complicated situation.
Now, the seventh prince of the barbarian race, Ander, had arrived. He was a peak-level expert who could fight with his father. It was likely that the pressure on this fellow would be even greater.
"Hu!"Xiang Yun sucked in a deep breath, not heading to the inn"s guest room, but sitting cross-legged in the carriage instead, cultivating. This was the first time in his heart that his family and country had urgently wanted to improve their cultivation and power. Currently, he was still too weak.
It was another day without any rest, and another night had fallen!
In a guest room on the third floor of the relay station, Xiao Ding and his daughter were discussing business when Xiao Ding spoke to his daughter, Xiao Ling"Er.Ling"er, tomorrow morning we will be able to enter the Cold Mountain Pa.s.s and enter the Tiger City. At that time, father will go to the Gesun Trading Company to look for Igor.
"Father, I"ll accompany you to the Gesun Trading Company. The situation in Tiger City is chaotic, but the Gesun Trading Company belongs to the Goliath Clan. It"s too dangerous for you to go there alone." Xiao Ling"Er was worried about her father.
He won"t harm me, so you don"t have to worry about it. Furthermore, your father is going there alone, and he doesn"t want money, only his life. Naturally, they will not make things difficult for me.
Xiao Ling`er wanted to persuade him, but Xiao Ding interrupted her.
"Listen to father, the goods are the key right now. You must escort the ingredients safely to the shop. When I bring Igor"s men here, we can make the transaction on our own territory to ensure that there are no mishaps. Once the transaction is complete, everyone can leave for Qingfeng County immediately.""Alright then." Xiao Ling"Er saw that she couldn"t persuade her father, so she nodded in agreement.
"Right, Ling"Er, when we get to the Frigid City Pa.s.s, you can get some more money for Brother Wei. I can see that he"s out of money, and if he doesn"t have any, then the military camp will not be able to make some payments. At that time, it will definitely be a loss."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling"Er shook her head and said, "Hmph, dad, I won"t listen to you about this. When we reach the Frigid City Pa.s.s, I want this guy to immediately scram. He has already wasted his time and has been drinking for nothing.
"Ling"er!"
"Dad, I definitely do not agree to this. You must not have any sympathy in your heart. This kind of person is not worth sympathizing with!" Xiao Ling"Er"s att.i.tude was extremely tough and she couldn"t compromise at all.
"Knock knock!" Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"I"m Wei Xiaobao."
Just as he said "Cao Cao Cao Cao", Xiang Yun had actually arrived outside the guest room.
Xiao Ling"Er opened the door and glanced at Xiang Yun who was standing outside. With an unfriendly expression, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xiang Yun said calmly, "I have come to thank you in person. Uncle Xiao and Eldest Miss Xiao have taken care of me all this way. When I arrive at the cold city gates tomorrow, I"ll have to part with you. I"m very reluctant."
"Humph, we are not reluctant in the slightest!" Xiao Ling"Er said unhappily.
Since Xiang Yun had come to bid his farewells, Xiao Ding naturally welcomed him warmly. He even ignored Xiao Ling"Er"s gaze as he took the initiative to take out several dozen silver taels for Xiang Yun"s subordinates to use when they joined the army.
Xiang Yun had a very good impression of Xiao Ding. He felt that this person was a warmhearted person who treated others sincerely, so he muttered to himself, "Fine, I"ll save your lives and accept this silver tael. It"s fine if we don"t owe each other anything."
In the end, Xiang Yun accepted the silver taels. Xiao Ding had Xiao Ling"Er take Xiang Yun back to the guest room. As they walked, Xiao Ling"Er gritted her teeth and said in a cold tone, "Tomorrow, you better scram!"Hearing this, Xiang Yun smiled without a care, "It seems that First Miss Xiao still has some prejudice against me."
"It"s not much of an opinion. It"s just that I don"t like you." Xiao Ling"Er narrowed her eyes and said with an ice-cold voice.
"Oh, if that"s the case, Eldest Miss, you can look at me a few more times, but it might be more pleasing to your eyes. Unfortunately, Eldest Miss doesn"t have much time to look at me, so you should treasure it. Why don"t you come into my room and let Eldest Miss have a look?"Xiang Yun smiled playfully and winked at Xiao Ling"Er.
"Humph! Shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
Xiao Ling"Er"s heart was burning with anger. Her chest was heaving up and down. She couldn"t wait to pull out her sword and finish the man in front of her.
In the end, she calmed the anger in her heart. She cursed in her heart and turned around to leave. At the same time, she sighed in her heart. Why would there be such a shameless man in this world!
At this time, she couldn"t help but recall that night in the Second King"s Mountain"s valley, the figure that had descended from the sky.
That blue sword light that was like wind and lightning, that ethereal and unfathomable movement; everything was so breathtaking, yet gathered in that person"s body. That figure that floated towards the end of the Moon"s Night Valley left an indelible mark in Xiao Ling"Er"s heart."Who is this man that descended from the sky? That pair of eyes are really good-looking. If all the men in the world were like me, how great would that be? Will I still be able to meet him again? "
Thinking up to here, for some reason, Xiao Ling"Er, who was previously burning with anger, couldn"t help but blush and her heart began to beat faster.
This was the first time in more than ten years that Xiao Ling"Er had such a strange feeling. She didn"t know why, but she subconsciously felt shy.
She quickly looked around to make sure that no one else was around before she quickened her steps and ran back to her room. She closed the door, causing Xiao Ling"Er"s heart to be in turmoil.
Xiang Yun, who had been flirting with Xiao Ling"er, felt quite at ease. After returning to his room, he immediately sat down on his bed and began cultivating. His Yun Li and his spiritual will had almost completely recovered.
This made Xiang Yun a little excited. If he could step into the Yellow Cloud Realm and release his cloud energy, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds. He needed to make the best use of his time to cultivate in order to break through as soon as possible!
Once he broke through to the Yellow Cloud Realm, he would be able to unleash the first style of the Great Solar G.o.d Palm. He did not have to worry about the embarra.s.sing situation where Yun Li would be exhausted.
At noon the next day, the convoy arrived at the last city in Han City, "Three Yang City".
The atmosphere in the city was quite lively. On the way there, there was an endless stream of hawking noises. There were many restaurants and shops, but the people didn"t stop. They pa.s.sed through Three Yang City and headed towards the north gate.
