Chapter 429 Heading to Lichen
Shen Li rode on a huge snow-white swan, like a fairy descending from the sky;
Su Ran, Luo Lingchen and others rode on the majestic dragon, like a god stepping on the clouds, and suddenly appeared in the center of the square of Cangyue Pavilion.
This sudden scene shocked everyone in Cangyue Pavilion so much that their faces suddenly changed. They instinctively drew their swords from their sheaths. The swords reflected a cold light and the atmosphere became tense.
However, when they saw that it was actually Pavilion Master Su Ran sitting on the dragon's back, they panicked instantly. Their swords clanged to the ground, and they all knelt tremblingly, shouting in unison, "Greetings, Master!" The voices echoed throughout Cangyue Pavilion. They were filled with a mixture of awe for Su Ran and fear of the massive dragon and flying swan that had suddenly appeared in the sky. For a moment, they knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, as if they were on the edge of an abyss.
Su Ran's expression was stern. He leaped off the dragon with a swift movement and urgently ordered, "Zhao Feng, there might be a sudden outbreak of war in Beichen Country. Immediately send a message to Beichen Cangyue Pavilion, gather all the information, and rush to support us!"
The man who was called Zhao Feng's confidant had an upright figure and a resolute face. Upon hearing the words, he immediately bowed and said in a loud and powerful voice: "Yes, sir!" After that, he turned around and ran away like an arrow, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Su Ran turned his gaze to the thin Sun Ming and ordered, "Sun Ming, immediately put on your makeup and pretend to be me. Go to the palace through the secret passage and stabilize the situation at court."
Sun Ming looked troubled and asked cautiously, "Master, when will you return? I'm afraid if I wait too long, I'll be exposed."
Su Ran waved his hand and explained, "I've been wandering around for many years, and those people in the court aren't very familiar with me. Just act like you did when you were impersonating me. Don't panic, and you'll be able to handle it."
Sun Ming took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I understand, and I will not fail in my mission!" After that, he hurriedly retreated and prepared to disguise himself.
Chu Fengmian stood still, slowly closed his eyes, quickly made hand gestures with his hands, and muttered something.
After a while, his brows knitted tightly into the shape of the Chinese character "川", his expression extremely solemn, and he muttered to himself, "How is this possible? How could it be so sudden? When I calculated that day, the situation was clearly still under control!"
Shen Li was already extremely anxious. Seeing this, she rushed forward and asked anxiously, "What happened? Stop keeping us in suspense!"
Chu Fengmian slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with worry. He looked at Shen Li and said, "Li'er, I just calculated that the pirates have already attacked Beichen, and the entire place is in chaos. Countless innocent people have been brutally murdered. And your father, who has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the anti-enemy forces, is now leading an army of 200,000 to the battlefield. The situation is extremely critical!"
When Shen Li heard this, her head buzzed, and regret and anxiety instantly surged into her heart. She suddenly realized, "It's all my fault! I forgot that one day outside is four days in this space. The time difference caused the situation to get out of control! No, we have to set off immediately!" As she spoke, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her nails turned white.
Luo Lingchen was equally anxious. He quickly looked at Shen Li and said anxiously, "Li'er, why don't we stop by Li Chen and get the muskets and cannons we've developed. They're magic weapons that can defeat the enemy. We can also make some deployments in the sea area along the way. Now that the four countries are united, Beichen is in trouble, and we must do our utmost to help!"
Su Ran and Nangong Qi nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Nangong Qi, fully aware of the urgency of the situation, immediately borrowed the help of Cangyue Pavilion and sent a pigeon to the Emperor of Xiqi—his father, Emperor Nangong Zhaolie.
In the letter, he elaborated in detail on the current severe situation in Beichen, and earnestly reminded his father to strengthen the sea patrol deployment in advance, and it would be best to send troops to support Beichen.
At the same time, he also emphasized his firm support for Shen Li and his determination to follow her until death. Every stroke of his pen was filled with unquestionable determination.
Without further ado, the elite members of Cangyue Pavilion, following Su Ran's signal, boarded the dragon again in an orderly manner.
Shen Li flew over and straddled E Xiaoba's back. She straightened her back and shouted in a high and passionate voice, "Let's go!"
In an instant, the dragon swung its tail, Goose Xiaoba flapped its wings, and a group of people rushed towards Beichen at lightning speed, leaving only the flying dust behind them, witnessing their eager figures racing against time to save Beichen.
