Su Ying licked her lips as she realized she had been stonewalled. How could she have forgotten that she couldn’t communicate with Xue Zhen like a normal person?
She looked at the wooden puppet at the side and only climbed in after confirming with Xue Zhen that she could sit in it.
Tian Mu watched wide-eyed as Su Ying got into the wooden puppet. Thereafter, the wooden puppet began to move agilely.
Tian Mu was already shocked by the wooden puppet, and now that he saw it moving, he was even more terrified and took a few steps back in fear.
After Su Ying gave a demonstration of the fundamentals, she jumped out of the wooden puppet. “How is it? This thing is awesome, right?”
Tian Mu hurriedly nodded. “Amazing! Too amazing! How… how did you make this?”
Su Ying picked up a stack of blueprints from the table and placed them in his hands. “Xue Zhen has drawn every detail very clearly in these blueprints. Take your time to study them first. During this period, you’ll have to think about this matter properly. If you don’t understand anything, ask Xue Zhen.”
Tian Mu looked at the blueprints and was even more astounded. He was astounded at Xue Zhen’s talent in this aspect. The blueprints that this fellow had drawn were simply incomparable, but it also stimulated Tian Mu’s desire to learn.
“City Lord, will Xue Zhen be upset?” After all, Xue Zhen was different from ordinary people. He could not communicate with the rest of them in an ordinary manner.
Su Ying took out a bag of osmanthus candy and handed it to Tian Mu. “If he becomes upset, just give him a candy. Just placate him like you’re placating a naughty child. He’s not as difficult to get along with as you think.”
Tian Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he took the candy. “Yes, I will do my best to study it thoroughly.”
“Mm-hmm. Before spring, I hope to see your finished product. If you need anything, feel free to tell the Green Guardian, understand?”
“Yes, City Lord.”
In the northern wilderness, a team was rapidly advancing in the direction of Sky Alpha City.
Second Master Li sat in the horse carriage, which was filled with heating stoves. The temperature difference between the interior of the carriage and the exterior was as vast as heaven and earth.
This time, he had brought a total of over a thousand people. Among them, a hundred were soldiers from the Nan State. However, these soldiers had changed into civilian clothes to follow the team. If no one pointed out their identities, no one would know they were soldiers.
After walking for several days, they finally saw the city wall of Sky Alpha City.
Second Master Li looked through the curtain of the carriage and narrowed his eyes at the towering city wall not far away. There really was such a bizarre place in the northern wilderness. He thought that his men had exaggerated on purpose to avoid punishment.
“Second Master, up ahead. It’s up ahead.”
“I’m not blind. How can 1 not see such a large city wall?”
The soldiers of the Nan State did not expect such a place to exist in the northern wilderness either, and they immediately became tense.
The Li Clan’s subordinates brought the soldiers to the entrance they had seen before. However, there was no trace of the entrance from the outside.
“It’s here, it’s here. This wall can be split open. After it splits open, an entrance will appear. Those people and the tiger came out from this place.”
Second Master Li got down from the horse carriage and stood at the foot of the city wall to take a look.
“Didn’t she ask me to bring 1,000 gold coins to redeem my people? Well? Didn’t she tell you how I’m supposed to get in?”
“Er… er…” Well, she didn’t say.
“I’ll try shouting a few times?”
Second Master Li didn’t say anything. The subordinate shouted at the city wall, “Our… our Second Master has brought the gold here. Open the city gate. Hurry up and open the city gate for us.”
Rumble! As soon as he finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared on the wall, and an entrance appeared in front of everyone.
“Leave the gold behind. When we’re done using the people, we’ll kick them out.”
A chilly voice rang out from the dark, creepy entrance.
Second Master Li was so angry that he almost burst out laughing. Did these people think that he had come all the way here just to give them gold?
“As the saying goes, you get the money when 1 get the goods. Don’t you know the rules of the world?”
“This is Sky Alpha City. We have the final say in the rules.”
“How arrogant. I, Second Master Li, want to see if you guys really have such great ability! Charge in!”
On Second Master Li’s order, the people behind him rushed into the entrance.
The soldiers behind them did not act rashly, however.
Second Master Li narrowed his eyes and said, “What’s up? If you guys don’t go in, how do you know if Xiao Jin is inside?”
When the soldier leading the troops heard him, he left half of his men behind and led 50 men inside himself.
Second Master Li stood on the same spot without moving as he watched those people rush in.
However, the strange thing was that after those people entered, the people outside did not hear any movement from inside. Second Master Li could not help frowning.
At this moment, the stone wall began moving and slowly closed.
A thick city wall separated the people inside from those outside.
Second Master Li seemed to have realized something and quickly got on his horse to leave.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw many black figures blocking his way.
“Who are you?” Second Master Li shouted angrily.
“Go and see if there is any gold on the carriage.”
The black-robed men didn’t waste any time talking and simply drew their swords and rushed at the group.
Second Master Li saw that the situation was not advantageous to them and quickly fled.
“Protect Second Master! Protect Second Master!”
Fortunately, Second Master Li had left quite a number of people outside, so he was able to take the opportunity to escape while they dealt with the black-robed men.
The black-robed men slashed their way to the carriage. There was only one box in the carriage. When one of the black-robed men opened the box, there was only a top layer of gold while the bottom was full of stones.
“He’s lying! The City Lord said that if there is no gold, we are to capture him and take him back!”
When the black-robed men received the order, they went after Second Master Li.
Second Master Li swore that he had never ridden a horse so fast in his life. The whip in his hand kept whipping the horse’s butt. The freezing wind blasted his face until his face hurt, but even so, he did not dare to stop. If he knew that the other party had so many people, he would not have come personally!
At this moment, the people inside the city were surrounded by a group of wild beasts. They did not even dare to move.
Men and beasts were in a stalemate.
This cursed place was like a deep forest the moment they entered. If they had known that, they would not have charged in so recklessly!
“What should we do? Why are there so many ferocious beasts?”
“What are you afraid of? There may be many of them, but we have quite a number of people too. You guys form a team and catch one to beat it up. I don’t believe that we can’t defeat these beasts.”
Roar!
At this moment, the tiger standing at the very front suddenly roared, and all the ferocious beasts pounced on that group of people.
Su Ying sat on a large tree and watched as those people were pounced on by the ferocious beasts one by one. There was not a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Outside the city, Xiao Jin, who was lying in an ambush, walked out.
“Take all of them down.”
When the Nan State soldiers heard Xiao Jin’s voice, they all turned to look at him. One of the soldiers’ eyes widened when he saw Xiao Jin’s appearance. It was Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin was really here!
The soldier’s back was slashed by the black-robed men when he was distracted. He fell to the ground and quickly crawled to the outer area while the black-robed men were dealing with the others.
“Xiao Jin, it’s you.. So you’re really here!”
