Lin Qian and Huo Jingyu were both stunned. Having followed Yan Kongyue for such a long time, they had witnessed many of her extraordinary abilities, yet she always managed to surprise them, raising their understanding to new heights.
Where is the Xiao General?
Xiao Zhantian appeared, riding a horse and holding a long spear with a sharp reed leaf tip.
Xiao General, Mingjie Prince is ahead. Bring your troops and flank him; we’ll rescue the people in the mountains.
Raindrops fell on them, making a sizzling sound, but the flames surrounding them were unaffected.
Xiao General whistled towards the main gate, and soon after, a squad of flaming cavalry charged out.
Presenting to Yan General!
Hurry, saving lives is our priority.
Understood! Xiao Zhantian spurred his horse and charged out, followed closely by the cavalry, who quickly spread out as the golden gate closed behind them.
Song General, we’re going too!
The warhorse let out a loud neigh as it galloped through the water.
Yan Kongyue, are they from ancient times? Huo Jingyu finally reacted.
No, I raised the Ghost Army.
But why do they call you General? Yan Kongyue scratched her brow; she dared not reveal that these were once her comrades on the battlefield.
Because I raised them. There’s no need for so many questions. Keep an eye on your surroundings; if Fourth Brother gets swept away, we need to be ready to rescue him.
Song Hu kept his warhorse at a steady pace as their small boat sped across the surface of the water. However, they didn’t leave Xiao Zhantian behind.
Soon they arrived at the village, where every house was submerged. Food supplies, livestock, water barrels, wooden boxes, iron pots, and chicken coops floated on the water's surface.
Song General, let’s move forward; there’s not a soul here. They’ve likely evacuated everyone.
Yes!
They passed through the village and continued onward as the waterway narrowed and the current grew stronger.
Finally reaching the foot of the mountain, a narrow path wound its way around to the back of the mountain.
Since the area below was flooded, there was no place to dock even if they wanted to. Lin Qian grabbed onto a small tree on the slope and climbed up. Fortunately, her rain boots were non-slip. Yan Kongyue used her agility to leap onto the slope with ease, while Huo Jingyu struggled considerably.
In the end, it was Song Hu who used his long knife to lift people up the hillside.
Not long after they climbed up, Feng Xing arrived on a jet ski.
"Hey, there's a river over there, and a few Firefighters are coming this way. I let them know!"
"They're on a mission. You think just telling them to leave will work?" Huo Jingyu couldn't believe it. After all, they were Firefighters, always putting the people's interests first; they wouldn't just abandon the civilians in danger.
"Don't you know who I am?" Feng Xing blinked, and his deep brown eyes turn to golden eyes immediately.
But just as quickly, the color vanished.
"Wow, are you trying to confuse people?"
"Not really. It's just too dangerous here. Since we're all here, there's no need for them to take risks. I just used a bit of Hypnosis; it won't harm them!"
"Oh! That's more like it."
"Come on! With this heavy rain, you guys really have a lot of energy."
After securing the jet ski, Feng Xing followed them along a narrow path that wound around to the back mountain. Just then, a cavalryman rode in from the other side.
"General, we've found someone ahead hiding in a cave. Two of them are older and injured their legs; everyone else is safe!"
"Is there anyone with a similar aura to mine?"
"I haven't seen anyone!"
Yan Kongyue furrowed her brow in thought; she could sense Lin Lang's presence, but it was very faint.
"Lead the way!"
"Yes!"
