Chapter 129: Is there finally hope?
Chapter 129: Is there finally hope?
When Luo Xi heard the news, his hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, then he quickened his eating speed, stuffing braised pork and chicken into his mouth desperately, and his cheeks bulged up.
The yamen runner looked at her with heartache: "Ms. Luo, please accept my condolences and don't choke yourself."
He thought Luo Xi was venting his grief and couldn't help but give him some advice.
Luo Xi just glanced at him, and then continued to show off the delicious food, eating with relish.
Even Si Jia, who was still immersed in his own world, was shocked by her: "Boss, what are you doing..."
"Eat your fill and go find someone." Luo Xi said succinctly, "Didn't they say that Le Zheng Feiyuan and Chu Zhe were just missing? Missing doesn't necessarily mean they're dead."
As long as he is not dead, she believes that with Chu Zhe's ability, he will be able to overcome the danger.
Don't be fooled by that guy's usual gentle appearance, he is more brutal than Jiuxian when fighting.
Si Jia's eyes, which had lost their luster, suddenly had a glimmer of hope: "Yes, let's go find someone, Fei Yuan will be fine."
As he said this, he asked his servants to prepare the horses.
Luo Xi stopped him and said, "You'd better stay."
"This defeat was strange. The other side might have a backup plan. You might as well stay and investigate. Find out what happened so that you can respond appropriately."
"Besides, your kung fu is average. The situation in Fengling City is complicated and dangerous right now. I may not be able to protect you."
Si Jia was a smart man. He was a little confused when he heard the news just now. But now, under the influence of Luo Xi's calmness, his mind suddenly became clear.
"Okay, I get it. Boss, you have to be careful. We'll keep in touch at any time."
"Okay, I'll contact you through Honglou if there's anything." Now Baihu has almost become Luo Xi's subordinate, and she uses him very smoothly.
A few days later, they arrived not far from the gate of Fengling City. Luo Xi took Baihu to a relatively high place and looked around.
"White Tiger, didn't they say that Fengling City has been occupied by barbarians? I don't think that's the case." Luo Xi had sharp eyesight and could tell something was wrong at a glance.
Hearing this, Bai Hu took a closer look and said, "It's true. The soldiers guarding the city are clearly from Tianqi. How strange."
Luo Xi poured his supernatural power into his eyes and looked towards the city gate again. There were indeed soldiers of Apocalypse, and there were many old acquaintances, the ones who were beaten up by them last time, including the city guard.
But this time, their faces no longer had the sharp calmness they had that day. Instead, they all looked sad, and their scarlet eyes were filled with hatred.
Luo Xi thought about it and was about to ask him what was going on, but when he took the first step, he found that there was a strange man next to the city gate officer, and not only him, but also other soldiers.
It seems that the situation in Fengling City is more complicated than she imagined.
"Bai Hu, has Hong Lou found out any information?"
Bai Hu shook his head helplessly: "Feng Ling City has been closed for several days in a row. Not to mention the news, not even a mosquito can fly out."
Luo Xi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then made a decision: "Let's go downstairs and find a chance to meet with the city gate officer."
She remembered that Le Zheng Feiyuan said that the city gate officer was a retainer of the Le Zheng family named Qi Lei, a guerrilla general who was absolutely trustworthy.
But the strange general kept a close eye on Qi Lei, and even until dark, Luo Xi still didn't find an opportunity.
"Madam Luo, what should we do?" Bai Hu was so anxious that he kept scratching his head: "If we keep going like this, we may not have a chance even if we wait for a few days. General Ke Lezheng and the others may not be able to wait."
How could Luo Xi not understand: "Let me think about it."
At this time, not far away, several soldiers came out to urinate together. Luo Xi's eyes lit up, and he concentrated his supernatural power in his hands. When the time was right, he pushed the man in the middle hard.
The soldier staggered, and as he staggered, he couldn't control his urination and urinated all over the two people next to him.
The two men's faces turned black: "Asshole, are you blind?"
The soldier wanted to apologize, but when he heard the two people scolding him, he became angry and pulled up his pants and scolded back.
This made sense. The two men rushed over, pinned the man down and started beating him. Soon the three of them were fighting in a group.
The others also got excited when they saw this, and stood aside, waving flags and shouting: "Fight, fight, whoever loses is a coward..."
White Tiger: "..."
He silently moved two inches to the side, away from Luo Xi.
"Ms. Luo, have you forgotten that you are a woman?" he reminded her specifically.
Luo Xi said, "I know, but it doesn't matter. As long as the goal is achieved, it's fine. Look over there."
As she spoke, she pointed towards the city gate. When the strange general heard the commotion here, he left Qi Lei behind and came over.
Baihu was speechless.
"Let's go, don't miss the opportunity." Luo Xi pulled him and moved over there carefully and quickly.
Qi Lei also noticed the chaos over there. He sneered and said, "Go ahead and fight. Kill whoever you kill is a good guy. None of them is a good guy."
He only looked for a while and then turned his head back, but at this time, his eyes suddenly widened.
"You--" Why did he see her here.
"General, what's wrong?" Several soldiers nearby asked in confusion.
Qi Lei did not hide it from the others, and raised his chin towards Luo Xi. Those who stayed here and did not join in the fun were all loyal fans of the Le Zheng family, so there was nothing to worry about. "You guys provide cover, I'll be back soon."
Several people nodded naturally: "Don't worry, General."
Have they finally got the hope they have been waiting for?
Qi Lei originally disliked Luo Xi, thinking that the general should not let go so easily of someone who came to Feng Lingcheng to cause trouble, and who was a bandit at that.
But when he saw Luo Xi again, he couldn't help feeling happy.
She was invited by the County Magistrate Si, and now she is here, does it mean that the County Magistrate Si also knows about this matter? And I heard that the guest official Mr. Chu is a relative of this Miss Luo.
"Madam Luo!" He bowed respectfully as soon as he arrived.
"Okay, let's talk business. What's going on here?" The general might be back at any time, and Luo Xi didn't want to waste time on these empty formalities.
Qi Lei himself understood: "Madam Luo, it was that villain Du Hong. I don't know when he arranged people in the city to cooperate with the barbarians inside and outside to open the city gate, which led to our crushing defeat."
"Now, the barbarians have left after getting the benefits, but the Red Soul Army has changed its leader. The new general is from the Zuo Xiang lineage, and he listens to Du Hong in everything."
Luo Xi felt that this must have been premeditated, otherwise why would the new general come so quickly.
She was silent for a while before asking again: "So...are they really dead or missing in battle?"
Naturally, she was asking about the two Le Zheng brothers and Chu Zhe.
"Yes!" Qi Lei nodded sadly: "General Feibo was shot by two arrows and died on the spot. His body is now in the funeral home."
The 7-foot-tall burly man's eyes suddenly turned red: "General Feiyuan is covered in blood. I don't know if he is still alive."
"It was so chaotic at the time. I only saw a man suddenly fly over, snatch the general and fly away. He was a man with short hair. It must be Mr. Chu."
In the whole Fengling City, he is the only one with short hair.
