Chapter 359 Saintess of Yin Mountain
(17)

Wuchuan has always been an important place for border guards. Even if it doesn't matter about counties and towns, the population and economic exchanges in the city have always been frequent.

This place has abundant military resources and developed commerce and trade. Compared with Yuyi Town in a remote corner, Wuchuan Town is obviously more beautiful and rich.

The city wall of a hundred miles stretches endlessly, surrounding the city like several hills.There are gullies between the inner and outer city, and the moat several feet wide surrounds the city for more than tens of miles. Countless alleys, buildings, and streets are dotted with people. on the street.

Baifeng passed by the gate of the city and met Yan Dahan, the general who defended the city, and went to the center of the town without stopping. There was a road intersection, surrounded by an open and circular shape, which was usually the place where the town general and the town officials issued decrees.

He led his personal guards to escort the float carrying the saint, drove the crowd, and finally walked out of a road. The surrounding pilgrims quickly gathered spontaneously from behind the convoy, and then quickly crowded the road.

This kind of chaos was really unexpected, the horses were easily frightened and out of control on such occasions, so Bai Feng had to dismount and walk, he didn't dare to make any trouble, so he could only be cautious in everything.

Surrounded by crowds, the convoy moved extremely slowly. Even if the young swordsman dismounted and walked, he walked and stopped for a few steps. What's more, there were people piled up behind the float, and the car could only move forward and could not retreat. As a result, the entire convoy would often stop suddenly in the middle of the road for a long time, waiting for Bai Feng to lead people out of a road before moving on.

There was a loud noise all around, although some people were indeed shouting the name of the Holy Maiden, but more people were joining in the fun and taking advantage of the situation to sneak around.

Passing by tea stalls and wine shops, people who don’t give money after drinking and eating, lurking in the crowd and stealing abound. Seeing this, Baifeng knew that there should be no delay, so he decisively drew his sword out of its sheath to command the guards, and roared: "Raise your weapons!" Open the way, drive away those who stand in the way, and if anyone finds a gangster, he will be punished on the spot!"

"Obey!" More than a dozen guards pointed their spears horizontally against the crowd with all their strength, and sternly drove them away.

"Go!" Bai Feng waved his hand, and then drove forward.

After a while, they finally came to the circular square. Dugu Qi, who was wearing a scarlet ghost mask, took Murong Yan's hand and walked up to the high platform.

"Dear pilgrims, today, you will usher in a new holy lady, who will lead us to find the way forward together with the holy master!"

Afterwards, Bai Feng also walked up to the high platform, looking down at the people, feeling deeply moved in his heart, and said: "Everyone, the world today is full of wars and chaos, and the people are displaced. This is our misfortune!"

"I have come from the Central Plains to follow the guidance of the sacred tree. I have seen thousands of miles of starvation and mountains of blood and seas of corpses. Many of them were just teenagers before their death. They were unmarried and childless. People care about the mountains and fields, for the land of princes and nobles, all they can get is a negligible military salary, if they die, of course there will be nothing left in the end."

"So far, there is still no war that is fought for ourselves!" Bai Feng looked at Duguqi's shocked eyes, and then said: "Think about your fathers, brothers, and children, why do you want them to be Where are the stepping stones to satisfy the desires of princes and nobles? Let them come back, what we really need to do is to protect our own home!"

Those in the audience who had military affiliations couldn't help but shed tears, because they knew very well: Heba's repeated conquests were neither to resist barbarian aggression nor to expand territory, but to be greedy for profit and want to rule Beizhen's separatist side.

"My lord, Holy Master." Murong Yan immediately bowed to Bai Feng and said: "Everyone, on the way here, the little girl met a group of refugees. They were hungry for a long time, so I brought them into the city. , and provided them with food."

"The little girl didn't do this to show how much she abides by benevolence and morality. On the contrary, I made such a decision out of my own selfishness."

After Murong Yan finished speaking, discussions erupted in the square.

"How can the Holy Maiden be selfish?"

"I just said, she is definitely not as good as the previous Saintess."

"My lady saint doesn't do anything for us, why should I care about those heretics?"

Seeing that the situation was exactly as she expected, Murong Yan smiled slightly and said, "Last night I listened to the revelation from the sacred tree and saw a bright future. It was an era when Xianbei people and Han people lived in harmony... I brought them into the city because We are also suffering from disasters and wars, and we are sick and sympathetic!"

"Under the iron hoof of war, how can you tell the difference between you and me? Is it possible to tell who is Xianbei and who is Han under the pile of bones?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.

The Heba family's decree of vigorously reusing the Xianbei people and suppressing the Han people had a profound impact, but at this moment, everyone actually acquiesced in Bai Feng and Murong Yan's speech, and everyone present was unbelievably quiet for a while.

"Senior brother, be careful!" A thorny voice came from nowhere, and then a strange wind sound reached Baifeng's ears. Fortunately, he reacted in time and shook his head to avoid an arrow that was about to hit his head.

"Who is the assassin?" Bai Feng followed the trail and saw a person running away from the crowd, drew his sword and jumped off the high platform, shouting to the left and right guards to hunt down the assassin.

"Senior Sister!" At this time, Jing Ji had already taken the opportunity to climb up the high platform, and saw him rushing desperately towards Murong Yan, while the holy lady hid aside, not knowing what to do.

"A-Jing? A-Jing? What's the matter, why are there assassins?" Murong Yan panicked and grabbed Thorn's hand, asking repeatedly: "What should I do, Brother Feng?"

Thorn looked around, as if predicting the direction of the next arrow, and continued: "Sister, let's go, you hide behind me."

"My lord, let's go back to the float! Let me protect you with my body?" Dugu Qi followed Murong Yan to protect her.

The three of them walked down the high platform with extreme caution, and the pilgrims around them panicked for a while, pushing each other and trampling on them.

"Ah Jing, what happened?" Murong Yan looked at the chaos around her and asked.

"Senior Sister, the matter is a bit complicated. Actually, I wanted to tell you guys a long time ago, but unfortunately I have never been able to find the opportunity... Ever since Senior Sister held the sacrifice for the first time, I found some strange people under the altar."

Before Jing Zhi could finish his sentence, an arrow shot from Murong Yan's side and rear. He may not have thought clearly at all, but his body had already stood in front of Murong Yan to block the arrow.

"Ah Jing!" Murong Yan helped the other party, and roughly inspected the wound: "Is it a poisonous arrow? Who is so vicious and wants to kill us so much?"

Dugu Qi saw that the young knight was wounded and knew that he could no longer stay outside, so he hurriedly called for a float and sent Murong Yan and Jing Ji up together, and the three of them returned to the Holy Land first.
