The Ultimate Playboy Novel - Chapter 1369
Chapter 1369 Let Xiao Zhen Go
The war between the two cities was imminent, and Far Ice City fell into a storm!
At the request of the Three Great Sacred Gates, the officials of the various yamen began to recruit soldiers to wait for the battle. The young and middle-aged people in the city were all arrested, as if they were waiting to die.
Hua Xiao Zhen was frightened by this chaotic situation, and he was worried every day. Qin Feng watched as the originally happy and stable families were shattered, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
But now, he was also unable to protect himself, unable to take care of these miscellaneous matters …
Three days after Ling Yun’er and the others arrived, the elders of the three great Sacred Gates in Far Ice City led their troops. This western town was the closest to the Guanxia Mountain at the border of Meteor City, so all the disciples of the Sacred Gate gathered here.
As for the rest of the strong men from the town, they would also meet here in the end.
The arrival of Xie Long and the others caused the entire West Town Yamen Manor to feel uneasy. Now that the elders of the three great Sacred Gates had personally led their troops here, the Yamen Manor’s people were even more frightened to the point of trembling in fear.
Early in the morning, there were already two long queues outside the yamen manor. Ling Yun’er, the disciples of the saint sect, and the people of the yamen manor all came out to welcome them.
Nearly a hundred people arrived. All of them were riding tall horses. At the front were Great Elder of the three sects. They wore different sect costumes. Behind them were their own sect disciples. Just that vast group of disciples made people feel terrified.
“Disciple Ling Yun’er greets Ling Chong Great Elder and Elder Ling Wei!”
“Disciple Xundao greets Xunhe Great Elder and Elder Xunwen!”
“Disciple Xie Long greets Xie Juetian, Great Elder …”
Seeing the person coming, Ling Yun’er and the others immediately went up to greet him and greeted the elders respectfully.
Spirit Beast Sect and the Red Sun Sect had both sent Great Elder and an elder, but Bai Cang had only sent one, Jue Tian Great Elder.
The three sects had brought over more than 30 disciples. Looking around, Qin Feng could see that they were all experts above the third layer of True Qi.
A hundred True Qi Realm experts gathered outside the yamen. There were even three True Qi Level 7 Realm experts inside. There were also quite a few True Qi Level 6 Realm experts. As for the True Qi Level 4 and 5 Realm experts, they were as numerous as dogs.
Such a spectacular formation shocked Qin Feng. This was even more powerful than the batch of disciples who had come out of seclusion from the Extreme Sect that he had abused on the Hero City Sea. Qin Feng was even worried that even if he used the Black Dragon Tank, he would be able to defeat this group of people.
“Where’s the steward? Are you tired of living?”
Just as Qin Feng was in a daze, the Great Elders of the three sects were unhappy. Their expressions became colder and colder. The Great Elder of the Spirit Beast Sect, Ling Chong, had the highest status and had already shouted.
Everyone in the Yamen Manor was so scared that they almost knelt down. Wei Changming kept secretly winding at Qin Feng. Wang Long, Li Hu, and the others wished they could shake Qin Feng’s arm to wake him up. This was the Great Elder of the Sacred Sect. If they were angered, they could destroy the Yamen Manor with a flick of their fingers …
‘”Childe Qiao” Hua Xiao Zhen called out softly. She was also frightened.
However, before Qin Feng could step forward, Ling Yun’er had already begun to speak up for her, “Great Elder Ling Chong, Zhang Mo Qi, this Yamen Manor is filled with low-level warriors. Obviously, it was shocked by the might of the Great Elder …”
“Xunhe Great Elder, it’s been a long journey. This disciple will help you lead the horse.”
“Thank you, Great Elder …”
Xundao and Xie Long were actually speaking on Qin Feng’s behalf as well. The three of them were indeed thinking the same thing. They had been thinking about Qin Feng’s pink spirit artifact these past few days. They didn’t want the sect elder to kill Qin Feng with a single palm strike.
Just as Ling Yun’er had guessed, Xun Dao and Xie Long did not intend to tell the sect elders about the spirit artifact. In that case, where would they get their share?
Qin Feng had already strode forward, but his expression did not change much when facing Ling Chong and the other three Great Elder.
“I am Qiao Feng, the county magistrate of the West Town Yamen Manor. If I had known that the three elders would come today, I would have led everyone to wait respectfully for a long time.”
Qin Feng’s attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, causing Ling Chong and the others to be slightly stunned!
As Sacred Gate Great Elder, their status was extremely respectable. Even if the City Lord of Far Ice City saw the three of them, he would have to curry favor with them lowly. Unexpectedly, a mere magistrate of a town had such an attitude.
“Hmph! How dare a mere magistrate pretend to be big in front of me? I don’t think you know the heavens and earth.”
Ling Chong’s expression turned cold. True Qi burst out from his body, causing the yamen attendants to be unable to breathe. Wei Changming even knelt on the ground …
Ling Yun’er was shocked. She secretly cursed Qin Feng’s arrogance in her heart. It was fine to pretend to be tough in front of her. She was actually so bold in front of the Great Elder of the Sacred Sect.
‘”Lingchong Great Elder, your status is noble. Why are you angry with an ant-like magistrate? He has too low a horizon. He doesn’t know the noble identity you represent, Great Elder …”
After Ling Yun’er finished her good words, Ling Chong looked at her strangely and felt that something was wrong in his heart. “Ling Yun’er, could it be that you have anything to do with that brat? Why have you been speaking up for him all this time?”
When Ling Yun’er saw that Great Elder Ling Chong had seen something fishy, she was scared to death. She had concealed the matter of the spirit artifact from Great Elder. If this matter was exposed, Ling Yun’er could even imagine her tragic death.
‘”Lingchong Great Elder misunderstood. How could I have anything to do with those ants? It’s just that this western town is the closest to Guanxia Mountain, and that Qiao is very familiar with the terrain here. We still need him to help us fight …”
Ling Yun’er made up a cover. Ling Chong coldly glared at Qin Feng, but did not pay any attention to him.
Just as Ling Yun’er had said, the status of the Great Elder of the Sacred Sect was extremely noble. Ling Chong even felt that if he talked to Qin Feng more, he would lose some of his status.
“Have all the strong men from the big towns of Far Ice City been arrested?” Ling Chong had already asked about his business.
Ling Yun’er hurriedly replied, “Great Elder Ling Chong, don’t worry. I told you about this three days ago when I came down from the sect. Right now, 23 towns in Far Ice City have gathered a large number of troops. We will meet here by tomorrow morning at the latest.”
Ling Chong nodded and continued, “Alright, then let’s wait until tomorrow morning when we meet up. The sect leader’s intention this time is to send out experts to fight and try to avoid an endless battle between the two cities …”
Ling Chong publicly expressed his intentions, but these words were mainly for Xun He and Xie Juetian to hear.
The Spirit Beast Sect was the strongest of the three great Sacred Gates of Far Ice City, and the words of the Spirit Beast Sect’s Sect Leader were equivalent to the imperial edict of this city. Xun He and Xie Juetian’s expressions were a little unhappy, but they agreed with the Spirit Beast Sect’s intentions. No one wanted to fight to the point of not dying.
The Sacred Gate’s Great Elder had already been brought into the yamen manor and arranged in a superior guest room. As for the disciples of the Sacred Gate, there were several people living in the same room. After all, there weren’t enough houses in the yamen manor after a hundred people came down. Even Wei Changming, Wang Long, Li Hu, and the others had given up their rooms and slept in the courtyard.
Qin Feng and Hua Xiao Zhen returned to their rooms. As soon as they entered the room, Hua Xiao Zhen said worriedly, “Childe Qiao, let’s hurry up and leave.”
Qin Feng understood Hua Xiao Zhen’s worries. Now that so many Sacred Sect disciples had arrived, even Qin Feng felt a little worried.
Tomorrow, Qin Feng was going to go to Mount Guanxia to investigate the situation. He didn’t even dare to bring Xiao Zhen along because he was deeply afraid that something would happen.
“Xiao Zhen, you ride the Fire Dragon Horse back to Hua Village early tomorrow morning.” Qin Feng had already started to arrange for the safety of Hua Xiao Zhen.
The Fire Dragon Horse was a high-grade spirit horse. He believed that Hua Xiao Zhen would not be easily caught up with others while riding on it.
“Wuwu, Childe Qiao, don’t leave this lowly maidservant behind. What’s wrong with this lowly maidservant must be corrected …”
Hua Xiao Zhen suddenly knelt in front of Qin Feng, crying heartlessly.
Qin Feng felt helpless for a moment. He hugged her and sat down on the bed. He helped her wipe away her tears and said seriously, “Xiao Zhen, I don’t want you anymore. You also know that if you continue to follow me in the war between the two cities, it will be dangerous …”
Hua Xiao Zhen’s cries gradually subsided. He shook his head firmly and said, “Childe Qiao, Xiao Zhen is not afraid of death. If Childe Qiao did not kill the bandits that day in the Namboo Forest to save Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen would have committed suicide by now. The life of this bitch is already Childe Qiao’s. I want to live and die with Childe Qiao …”
Qin Feng could tell that Hua Xiao Zhen was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Compared to death, this silly girl was even more afraid of being abandoned by him.
The more sincere Hua Xiao Zhen was, the more Qin Feng couldn’t let her get hurt. He reached out and hugged her in his arms and said, “You leave tomorrow morning. I promise you that I will go back to find you. If you follow me, it will implicate me instead.”
Hua Xiao Zhen wasn’t stupid at all. She understood Qin Feng’s intentions, but she was extremely reluctant to part with him. How could she watch Childe Qiao go through fire and water?
Seeing that Qin Feng had made up his mind, no matter how reluctant Hua Xiao Zhen was, he still secretly hid it in his heart. Qin Feng carried Hua Xiao Zhen to sleep this night, but Hua Xiao Zhen did not sleep for a night. She was looking forward to seeing Childe Qiao suddenly rush over in the middle of the night, ravaging her as fiercely as she had ravaged Ling Yun’er that night …
At dawn, Qin Feng woke up and warned Hua Xiao Zhen to ride the Fire Dragon Horse and leave.
Hua Xiao Zhen began to shed tears from the moment she left the Yamen Manor, all the way to Hua Village. Her tears dried up in the end. She wanted to turn around and return to Qin Feng several times, but in the end, she forcefully suppressed this intense thought …
Outside the yamen mansion, there were already a lot of people gathered early in the morning!
Apart from the Sacred Gate disciples who had rushed over yesterday, there was also a dark crowd. These were all robust men who had been captured from various villages and towns in Far Ice City. Almost all of them had stepped into the first layer of True Qi. As for those ordinary villagers who did not have any strength, it was useless to capture them.
Even so, nearly ten thousand people had been captured. At this moment, the streets outside the yamen manor had long been blocked to the point of being completely blocked, and there was no end in sight.
Ling Chong stood at the front of the crowd. The Great Elders of the Red Sun Sect and Bai Cang were half a step behind him. From this, one could tell their status. Ling Yun’er, Xun Dao, Xie Long, and the others stood behind the Little Elder. As for Qin Feng and the people from the Yamen Manor, they could only stand at the back.
The originally noisy crowd had long since quieted down. They all knew that the white-haired old man in front of them was the Great Elder of the Sacred Gate, and his status was even higher than that of the City Lord of Far Ice City.
