Chapter 222, After the War
After a battle, Huo Lian was very excited. When he saw Huo Yu approaching, he immediately smiled and said: "Your sister and I have never convinced anyone, but Mu Yu is really admirable. Huang Sha and his team's
All actions were almost as expected by Muyu. We annihilated our opponents, more than a thousand people, without even fighting them head-on. In just one ambush in Hulu Valley, we killed hundreds of people. We then pursued them all the way and killed many more.
I've beaten a lot of people, it's so fun, I've never had such a fun fight before, Huo Yu, you really have found a good husband."
Huo Yu's face turned red and he said: "Sister, what are you talking about? Brother Mu is so gifted, how can I... be worthy of him." Although these words were modest words, they were also something Huo Yu had been worried about.
.
From the very first contact, Huo Yu understood that Muyu was an extraordinary person. He was not only powerful, but also intelligent. With his own identity, it was naturally difficult for him to be worthy of him, but sometimes he was so unreasonable when he liked someone.
, even though he knew that his identity did not match, Huo Yu still fell into it like a moth to a flame.
In this world, identity is indeed a big issue. The reason why nobles are noble is not only because they have a lot of resources, but also because of their personal connections. There are more or less connections between nobles.
Since there is a connection, it will involve face issues, and the identity gap is also a major shackle that restricts the development of civilians. This has always been the case throughout the ages.
Today's Tianyuan Continent is still in the era of exclusive monarchy, and cultivation civilization has not spread in the world. Although the masters of the divine martial arts can use force to break the ban, it does not mean that they are invincible. When facing an army of tens of thousands, they cannot
In the face of obstacles, some warriors who have reached the peak of their cultivation will choose to escape from the world to practice, or escape into the hidden sect and embark on the journey of cultivation. This means that royal power is still the orthodoxy of the mortal world, and the emperor rules the world in order to stabilize the political situation.
, the majesty of the nobility must be established, and naturally, the differences in class will become deep-rooted.
Huo Lian is a bandit and was born in a brothel. As her younger sister, Huo Yu's status cannot be said to be noble, and is even lower than that of a commoner. Even if she marries a noble, she can only be a concubine. This is what status brings.
Shackles. Muyu is gifted, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a master. By that time, if Huo Yu's identity issues hinder Muchen, that is what Huo Yu least wants to see.
Although Muchen didn't care about these problems at all, Huo Yu had to care. When Muchen's father wanted to marry Xiao's mother, it took a lot of effort to get the approval of the Xiao family. If the Xiao family hadn't valued Muchen's father
Even if she is talented, she will not marry Xiao's mother. This is a stereotype among the nobles in the Celestial Empire.
Although it is a bit cruel, it is understandable. In a world that values fists, choosing a powerful aristocratic alliance is everyone's expectation. Looking down on common people is the prejudice in everyone's heart, especially for women. If they are born in a bad way,
, even if the talent is outstanding, it can only be reduced to a plaything in the hands of the nobles.
Huo Lian thought for a while and felt helpless, and said: "This is indeed a problem. We are bandits with low status. With Muyu's knowledge, our status is definitely not simple. It is very likely that we are the young master of a big family, Xiao Yu.
If you really want to be with him, you have to do something."
Huo Yu asked doubtfully: "What to do?"
"Yu'er, don't worry about this matter for now. Leave it to your sister. By the way, Yu'er, why are you here?"
"Oh, it was Brother Mu who asked me to pick up my sister. Now in the valley, all the sand snakes are very fierce. Brother Mu was afraid that you would be attacked by the sand snakes, so he asked me to take you up the mountain. There is a path on the back mountain, Sister Danxin.
It has been cleaned up, there are no sand snakes there, and it is safe to go up the mountain."
"Then let's go."
Led by Huo Yu, Huo Lian and others quickly climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking from a distance, they could see Ling Snake Village at a glance. At this time, Ling Snake Village had already been under martial law. Because of the violent Sand Snake, the people in the village were
People who dare not come out at all.
Just when everyone reached the top of the mountain, an unusually rich aroma came, which was the smell of delicious food.
I saw many sisters in Hongxia Village gathering wood and building big pots. From one of the big pots, a strong aroma of meat had begun to waft out. Just smelling it made people salivate and forget about everything.
Huo Yu smelled the aroma of meat, ran to Muchen and said, "Brother Mu, what are you cooking? It smells so good!"
Muchen was seen holding a big wooden stick and stirring the pot. The floating snake meat and ginger filled the whole air with a different kind of fragrance.
"I'm making snake soup. It's very delicious. I added a lot of seasonings and tried making a pot. It tastes good."
"Wow, it smells so good. Why is snake meat so fragrant? Sand snake meat is a bit bitter, so why is it so fragrant?"
"Because I put a lot of high-end seasonings, ginger, chopped green onion, spiritual grain wine, etc., as well as some seasonings to remove bitterness. The snake soup cooked in this way is not to mention more delicious. Wait a minute, this pot will be ready in no time
Okay, the other pots are not set up yet, so we have to wait a little longer. Oh, by the way, there are also snake meat, roast rabbit meat... and other exotic animal meat, which should be roasted soon.
In several stone bowls nearby, I put cumin, pepper, chili powder, ginger powder, and secret meat sauce. You can put whatever you like, it's delicious."
Huo Yu was very excited and shouted: "Is it ready to eat? I'll go and see." When Huo Yu arrived at the barbecue grill, Dan Xin had already grabbed a lot of barbecue and started to gobble it up.
"Oh, Huo Yu, you're here, come and try it. This barbecue is so delicious, and it also contains spiritual energy. The seasonings made from the wooden fish are awesome! Not only does it taste good, it also contains spiritual energy. Come quickly...otherwise,
There’s nothing left to eat.”
Huo Yu took a piece of roasted rabbit meat from Dan Xin, took a bite, and immediately his eyes lit up, saying: "Wow, this is... what kind of meat, it's so good, so delicious, this is the most... I've ever tasted...
Delicious meat.”
"It's just some blue rabbit meat, caught from the surrounding mountains and forests. I didn't expect that ordinary beasts can be so delicious. This wooden fish guy has good craftsmanship." Dan Xin admired Muchen's craftsmanship very much.
After a while, Muchen came over with several bowls of snake soup and said, "Don't always eat barbecue. You'll get tired of it. Let's have some snake soup. I made it specially to make it lighter. It can relieve the tiredness."
Huo Yu quickly took it and took a sip. It was so delicious.
"This...soup...is delicious, Brother Mu, you are so amazing, you can do everything."
"That's right, I am a genius, proficient in everything, hahaha..."
Huo Lian also took a sip and praised: "It's really delicious. I didn't expect you, a young man, to be interested in cooking. Your interests are so wide..."
"If a person lives his whole life and doesn't even pay attention to what he eats, it would be too boring, wouldn't it?"
Hundreds of people from Hongxia Village had a picnic on the top of the mountain. Those fierce sand snakes became delicious delicacies. After a hard day's work, everyone was not only refreshed, but also their morale was raised to the limit. No matter what happens tomorrow,
No matter what kind of battle they face, they are confident to complete it.
Compared to the Hongxia Mountain Bandits, whose morale is high, the situation in Lingshe Mountain Stronghold is gloomy. Today's failure has aroused dissatisfaction among everyone. Many people are already thinking about how to escape from here. After all, no one wants to die unknown.
Bai, today's defeat has completely shattered their weak cohesion.
In the Spirit Snake Village, Shi Zongfeng was in his room, losing his temper, while Hu Lan stood aside with a look of fear on her face, not daring to speak.
"Tell me! What is going on? Hongxia Village was destroyed by us, wasn't it? Why are there so many of them? They came to ambush us. Also, what do your men do for food? A little bit of fighting.
I have no strength at all." Shi Congfeng lost his temper towards Huangsha and Yehu.
Although Huangsha and Yehu were not angry, there was nothing they could do.
Yehu suggested at this time: "Sir, why don't we ask for help from Huangshan City."
"Ask for help! You want me to ask for help from the third elder because of a group of women? Get lost...useless trash." If he asked for help for this reason, he would still lose face.
Yehu: "However, Huo Lian has a magical weapon in her hand and wears a treasured armor. Even if you and Master Huang join forces, they can't do anything to her. If she leads people to rush to the stronghold, who else will be our opponent?"
."
"Charge to the cottage! Even if you lend her some courage, she wouldn't dare. The cottage is full of agencies and thousands of combatants. Even if she is tired, she will be exhausted. Huo Lian only has a few hundred people on hand to break through the gate of the cottage.
, it’s impossible.” Shi Chongfeng still had this kind of confidence.
The terrain of Spirit Snake Village is dangerous, with steep mountain walls and a large number of tower archers in the valley. As long as it is properly defended, it is still difficult for a Tianwu Realm master to break through. After all, the protective spiritual armor also requires a lot of spiritual power.
, if you rush into the mountain stronghold wearing a protective spirit armor, it will definitely consume a lot of money, and Huang Sha and Shi Chongfeng are not vegetarians.
Although Huang Sha didn't think Huolian could rush in, he still advocated asking for help, saying: "Sir, there was news a few days ago that the Qianlong Army of Zhenshan Palace has been unstoppable in attacking the small town ahead. In a few days, we will be able to
We will pass by the mountain stronghold. Now, our troops have suffered serious losses and may...be unable to withstand the Qianlong Army's attack."
After Shi Gongfeng calmed down, he said: "That's a problem. The Qianlong Army is not an ordinary army. All of them are equipped with black iron weapons and sophisticated armor. Facing their attacks, the defensive offensive of the cottage is still not enough."
"Why don't we tell the third elder that Huolian Shen has a great treasure, and the third elder will definitely send people to support us. When the time comes, we can defend the Qianlong Army for a few more days. If we can severely damage the Qianlong Army,
Your Excellency's status in the Murong family is different."
Huang Sha's suggestion suddenly made Shi Gongfeng realize. Since Huo Lian couldn't get the treasure on his body, he might as well regard it as a credit and report it to the third elder. The third elder would definitely send someone to recover it. Once the Qianlong Army attacked, he would
It can also be safer.
In today's battle, Shi Zongfeng was completely disappointed with the fighting power of these bandits. With these chickens and dogs, how could they stop the Qianlong Army? If he could not complete the task assigned by the third elder, even if he escaped back to Huangshan City,
There is no escape from punishment. If reinforcements come at this time, not only can they share the blame for themselves, but they can also resist for a few more days under the Qianlong Army, killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, in a moment, I will send a message to Huangshan City and ask the third elder to send someone to support you."
Huangsha and Yehu breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was support. Now they were just dealing with Huolian, and they were all beaten up. If they really faced the Qianlong Army, they might lose badly. If so,
Chapter completed!
