Chapter 336: Long Chengyi is going to fight for us against the Ghost Witch Department (230 average subscription plus more)

Doctor Zi Yu looked at Qing Yi with anticipation.

After all, the strength of Huoqiu City alone is not enough to resist the rapidly growing strength of the Ghost Witch Tribe.

A young vassal who has killed powerful enemies such as the Ghost King and the Evil God can play an immeasurable role in boosting the morale of the military and civilians in Huoqiu City, not to mention that Qing Yi has a group of powerful military forces under his command.

"If you want to achieve great things, you must be of one mind, one heart, and one comrade!" Qing Yi did not answer this question immediately, but smiled faintly.
“During the winter festival in the capital, I used the city defense formation to kill powerful enemies such as the Ningtu Ghost King, the Cat Ghost God, the Ghost Witch Tribe’s Upper Witch, and the Red Wealth God.

No matter it is the Ghost Witch Tribe, the Black Wind Tribe or the Five Gods, they must all hate me to the core. Now that I am leading my team north to Dragon City to seal the land, the Ghost Witch Tribe will certainly not miss this opportunity for revenge.

Huoqiu City does not have a large defensive formation like the capital. If the Ghost Witch Tribe knew that I was stationed here, once the army came to attack with all their strength to seek revenge, I wonder if the soldiers and civilians in the city are willing to live and die with me?"

"this--"

Doctor Zi Yu's face darkened, he was stumped by Qing Yi's question. After all, he just wanted to find a strong ally, not to die with the other party.

He pondered for a long time before shaking his head helplessly and said, "The soldiers and civilians of Huoqiu City have never had any contact with Doctor Yi of Longcheng. If I say that the whole city is willing to follow Doctor Yi to die, it would be a bit of a lie."

Qing Yi smiled slightly without saying anything. He glanced at the old man, then turned around and said loudly to the private soldiers: "Brother Gongsun, Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao, Uncle Chai, there is a large army of ghost witches moving in the salt lake. I still want to cross the salt lake to the Dragon City burial ground. Do you have any objections?"

"We swear to follow our Lord till death, even if it means going through fire and water!"

"No matter what happens, the Lord's banner is the direction we will move forward in."

"There are two powerful first-class beings in Yunling. If they are afraid of the Ghost Witch Tribe and stop moving forward, how can they have the courage to go to Longcheng to bury the earth?"

Gongsun Wu, Dongmen Hu and more than 200 other private soldiers answered loudly in unison. Many newly formed militiamen not far away did not know what was happening, and they were also shouting loudly, swearing to be loyal to the lord until death.

"Did you see that, Doctor Ziyu?"

Qing Yi had a bright and warm smile on his face, "Since all my retainers and subjects are of the same mind, same heart, and same comrade, why should I fight with a group of people who don't believe in me?

Besides, there are the Jiliu tribe and tens of thousands of barbarians in the salt lake, which are tied up with the ghost witch army. For me, entering the salt lake at this time is safer than defending Huoqiu City."

"Alas - I am sorry for offending Senior Doctor Longcheng Yi!" Senior Doctor Ziyu looked disappointed and a little sad, but he still said enthusiastically.
"Since the senior doctor is determined to cross the salt lake and head to the Dragon City burial ground, it would be best to rest in Huoqiu City for two days. It would be better to bring the entire team into the city."

"Thank you, Doctor Ziyu, for your kindness!" Qing Yi smiled and shook his head, firmly refusing, "It will take too much time for 15,000 people to enter and leave the city.

It is more convenient for us to camp by the lake outside the city. We will have to trouble Doctor Ziyu to provide us with enough food and supplies for the next two days."

"Of course that's no problem. I'll send you out of the city tomorrow morning. Goodbye!"

Doctor Ziyu reluctantly bowed to Qing Yi and said goodbye. Then he boarded the chariot and on the way back to Huoqiu City, he kept giving orders loudly,

"Tonight, we will mobilize the food, salt, pickles and other supplies in the city garrison and give them priority to the migration team of the Dragon City Second Senior Doctor. We will send them out of the city at dawn tomorrow."

"As ordered!"

The leading retainer agreed respectfully, but couldn't help but feel indignant and questioning, "My Lord has been promoted to the rank of Senior Doctor for ten years, why should he be so humble to such a newly promoted Senior Doctor?

Moreover, if the master wants to keep him in Huoqiu City for defense, he can use an excuse to postpone the time for him to purchase supplies, and delay him in Huoqiu City for more than ten days!" "Haha, this is what you don't understand!"

As the convoy entered the city gate and the heavy gate closed behind them, the disappointment and worry on Doctor Zi Yu's face immediately disappeared, and instead he revealed a smug smile.

He looked around to see if there were any outsiders around, then he smiled softly and said, "Doctor Yishang of Longcheng is going to fight the Ghost Witch Tribe for us, I'm just doing a few more bows.

Even if you think I am being servile and that I am trying to curry favor with his young vassal, what else can I lose?"

"what?"

The retainer was immediately extremely surprised and asked, "The Lord just cordially invited Doctor Yishang of Longcheng to garrison Huoqiu City. Was it just an empty promise? Not a sincere invitation?"

"My invitation to him just now was not just a vain one!"

Senior Doctor Zi Yu smiled and said, “Now the Ghost Witch Tribe has entered the Salt Lake to fight with the Sacrifice Willow Tribe, threatening the safety of our Huoqiu City at all times.

If Doctor Yishang of Longcheng can stay in Huoqiu City to assist in the defense, with such a powerful private army under his command, we don't have to worry about the threat from the Ghost Witch Tribe.

But he insisted on crossing the salt lake to the northern border dragon city, which is also a good thing for our Huoqiu City. At least it can divert the attention of the Ghost Witch Department. "

"My Lord is far-sighted and thoughtful, and I am inferior to him in many ways!"

The retainer suddenly realized and his eyes were full of admiration. "Whether the Dragon City Doctor Yi Shang stays or continues to set off, it will be a good thing for our Huoqiu City. He has no other choice."

"Haha, you are wrong. He actually has a third choice!" Doctor Zi Yushang showed an unstoppable smug look on his face.

“Originally, when the Dragon City’s Senior Doctor Yi learned of the changes in the Salt Lake, he could have chosen to retreat to the Lishui City to rest and wait until the Ghost Witch Tribe and the Sacrifice Willow Tribe were both defeated before crossing the Salt Lake.

However, my humble attitude today has forced him into a corner. Since he is unwilling to stay in Huoqiu City, he has no choice but to continue heading north.

In this way, the Ghost Witch Tribe, the Sacrifice Willow Tribe, and Dragon City B will stage a good show in Yanze, and I am afraid that the fight will turn the world upside down.

The Ghost Witch Tribe is even more vulnerable. No matter whether it is the Sacrifice Willow Tribe or Dragon City B, they will not let them go easily. In this way, they will not be able to harass or plunder Huoqiu City. "

"The wisdom of the Lord is beyond our reach!" The retainer was already in awe of him. "Then I will go and arrange for tomorrow morning's food supplies to be delivered to the camp outside the city as soon as possible."

Outside Huoqiu City, Qing Yi also looked at Huoqiu City meaningfully. He really couldn't see what Doctor Zi Yu's intention was, but his divine eye could tell that the other party's intentions were not all good.

After experiencing many hardships in the capital city, Qing Yi never hesitated to speculate on people's hearts with the greatest malice, especially the old and cunning dukes and vassals, who loved to harm the young and energetic young vassals the most. This is politics.

Thinking about the changes that the Salt Lake Incident had brought to the situation in the northern border, Qing Yi suddenly felt a chill on his spine. He felt an evil gaze and immediately looked up.

I thought it was the servants and attendants of the Cat God who were lurking in secret, but after watching for a long time, I didn't see any black cat or anything like that.

After frowning, Qing Yi ordered Daniu to fetch his fourth-grade crocodile bow and suddenly shot five consecutive arrows in the direction where the prying eyes came from.
