Cao Ze laughed and said, "How about this, Ji Bu, why don't you come with me to the Qin Kingdom? I promise I will not mistreat Miss Hua Ying."
Ji Bu's face darkened. "Cao Ze, you secretly instigated internal strife in Chu. If you are caught, you know what will happen to you! Even if you are a Qin official!"
Yingbu shouted, "Why waste words with him? Just arrest him!"
Ji Bu's heart sank as he watched Cao Ze pick up his sister who had fallen to the ground.
He opened his mouth as if to give an order, but hesitated.
"Useless! Utterly useless! Useless! Can't even protect your own family!"
The Moon Goddess cursed Ji Bu as a good-for-nothing, her voice echoing through the mountains and fields.
Ji Bu's eyes twitched incessantly.
At this moment, almost everyone looked at Ji Bu, waiting for his decision.
Apart from Cao Ze and Hua Ying.
Cao Ze was carefully wiping the mud off Hua Ying's face, and very considerately comforted her, "Did you hurt yourself?"
Hua Ying remained silent, staring at Cao Ze with red eyes.
Cao Ze suddenly slapped his head. "Look at my memory, I forgot you were gagged."
"Here, let me take it off for you."
Cao Ze casually picked up the gag from Hua Ying's mouth.
"Cao Ze! You'll get what's coming to you..."
Cao Ze reacted quickly, shoving the wad of cloth into Hua Ying's mouth again in an instant.
"Waaaaah..."
Hua Ying's throat hurt so much she almost cried.
Cao Ze sighed, "I was just trying to help you get some fresh air, and you're biting the hand that feeds you."
Hua Ying didn't know who Lü Dongbin was, but she really wanted to bite Cao Ze a few times!
Seeing his sister being humiliated, Ji Bu finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"on!"
"boom!"
A fiery meteor exploded in mid-air.
Upon seeing the signal, the Chu soldiers instantly activated the mechanism, and countless armored warriors with shields stepped forward, forming a battle formation and slowly tightening the encirclement, striving to starve Cao Ze and his men to death.
The Moon Goddess was suppressed by Chu Nan Gong and dared not move, fearing that she would provoke Chu Nan Gong to take action. She could only talk back to Cao Ze.
"Two thousand armored soldiers, even a Grandmaster would die here! Let alone you, you traitor Cao!"
"You traitor Cao! Kneel down and surrender obediently, beg for mercy from me, and perhaps I'll spare your dog's life!"
"Cao Ze, you mustn't..."
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Cao Ze frowned and said nothing. After all, he was currently surrounded by Chu soldiers and didn't have time to argue with Yue Shen.
But Yanfei couldn't hold back any longer. She went up and slapped the Moon Goddess several times, swelling her beautiful face and even blowing away the sky-blue veil covering her eyes.
Cao Ze felt a slight pain on his face just looking at it; Yan Fei really had the heart to do that.
"Waaaaah..."
For some reason, the Moon Goddess burst into tears under the lashes of Yan Fei.
"Senior sister! You hit me! You actually hit your junior sister for a playboy! Waaaaah..."
When the Moon Goddess cried, Yan Fei was completely bewildered.
The junior sister had been beaten by her since childhood. She had been resentful and begged for mercy, but she had never cried.
Chu Nan Gong silently withdrew the power of heaven and earth that had been suppressing the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess continued to weep, completely unaware that the power of heaven and earth that had bound her had vanished.
Cao Ze wondered to himself, what was Moon Goddess's sister-in-law up to this time?
There was no way around it; his sister-in-law had done too many outrageous things. He simply couldn't believe that his sister-in-law would be slapped to tears by his senior sister, especially in front of everyone.
Chu Nan Gong said, "Yan Fei, this place is not safe to stay for long. Let's leave with Yue Shen first."
He gave Cao Ze another deep look and said, "See you in Xianyang."
Cao Ze nodded, watching Yan Fei help Yue Shen and Chu Nan Gong leave.
Despite being surrounded by thousands of troops, they moved as if they were in an empty field.
Ji Bu kept his eyes fixed on Cao Ze, showing no concern whatsoever for the departure of Chu Nan Gong and the others.
"Cao Ze, I'm giving you one last chance. Release my sister!"
Cao Ze ignored Ji Bu, hugged Hua Ying, abandoned his horse and jumped onto the mechanical eagle.
Hua Ying stared intently at Cao Ze, the small flames in her peach blossom eyes burning fiercely.
Old Man Lü muttered something under his breath as he controlled the mechanical eagle to take off.
Ji Bu cried out in alarm, "Quick, don't let them fly!"
He had seen the Mo family's mechanical Vermilion Bird; once it took to the skies, no matter how many people there were, they were helpless against it.
"Boo! Hah! Hah!"
Countless crossbow bolts flew towards the enormous mechanical eagle like locusts in a swarm.
Because the mechanical eagle was much smaller than the mechanical vermilion bird, and with the addition of Cao Ze, Hua Ying, and Jing Ni, it became very difficult for Old Man Lü to control the mechanical eagle, and the mechanical eagle ascended very slowly.
The high priest chanted a spell softly: "Wind..."
The wind swept away from all directions, scattering countless arrows.
"Humph!"
Ying Bu stepped onto the horse's head, leaped forward, and threw the double axes in his hands with all his might.
The two axes, like shooting stars chasing the moon, shot towards the wings of the mechanical eagle with the force of thunder and lightning.
"Thorn..."
Cao Ze flicked his fingers and sent out two worm-shaped lightning bolts, which directly knocked Ying Bu's double axes off his hand.
At this moment, the mechanical eagle is three zhang (approximately 10 meters) off the ground.
Although it wasn't very high, it left Ji Bu and his group helpless.
Countless arrows were shot at, but they were all dispersed or had their trajectories altered by the wind domain surrounding the high priest.
They could only watch helplessly as the machine-made eagle, like a donkey pulling a cart, wobbled and drifted into the distance, resembling a big, clumsy goose.
It can't fly high or fast, but it just can't reach it.
"Ugh!"
Enraged, Yingbu punched and broke a large tree next to him.
To surround Cao Ze with two thousand men and still let him escape is a disgrace!
Ji Bu gripped the reins tightly, gritted his teeth, and watched as the mechanical eagle gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Ying Bu, I'm not going back to Chu Du. I'm going to Xianyang. You take your men back."
Ying Bu immediately objected.
"Brother, what do you take me for?! Enough talk, let's go to Xianyang to rescue your sister!"
Seeing Yingbu's resentful expression, Jibu's lips twitched a few times before he sighed, "Alright, let's go together, brothers."
As long as his sister still has his sachet on her, he will definitely be able to find her!
"What a pity, we arrived too late..."
A middle-aged man wearing a straw hat was followed by a thin young man and a tall, imposing young man.
Who are you?
Ji Bu looked warily at the three people who had suddenly appeared.
"I am Tian Guang, the leader of the Farmer's Swordsman. His Majesty was worried and specially sent me to bring people to take a look."
Sheng Qi cracked his knuckles, looking annoyed. "I hadn't even loosened up my muscles yet, and the person had already flown away!"
Wu Kuang said, "Brother, Cao Ze and Jing Ni are both Grandmasters, and in my opinion, that woman who is skilled in using wind is at least a Great Grandmaster. You're probably..."
Sheng Qi chuckled and said, "I just don't feel right if I don't have a fight."
Ji Bu clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Ji Bu, commander of the Shadow Tiger Legion, greets the chivalrous leader."
Tian Guang squinted, looking at the black dot on the horizon.
"I still have a base in Xianyang. If you go to Xianyang, you can find Tian Mi and ask her to find a way to rescue Hua Ying."
Ji Bu was taken aback. "What does the chivalrous leader mean by this?"
Tian Guang said calmly, "Hua Ying is a disciple of our Farmer's Clan, and she cannot fall into Cao Ze's hands and be humiliated."
"In that case, let Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang travel with you; consider it a trial for them."
Wu Kuang and Sheng Qi clasped their hands in unison, "You are the leader of the chivalrous sect!"
Ji Bu bowed deeply, "Thank you, chivalrous leader!"
He already knew that his sister was a disciple of the Farmer's Clan, but he didn't expect the Farmer's Clan to be so loyal.
Tian Guang said, "You should first make arrangements for the soldiers. Give me a letter to deliver to the emperor. Don't act impulsively and ruin your promising future. The emperor values you and Ying Bu very much."
Ji Bu was moved, "Ji Bu thanks the chivalrous leader! Thanks Your Majesty!"
He knew that with Tian Guangxia's guarantee, the hidden dangers he had left behind today would naturally be resolved without him even noticing.
However, in return, he and Ying Bu would become Changping Jun's people.
The only redeeming quality is that the general is utterly loyal to the royal family, so they need not feel ashamed of their loyalty to him.
