Chapter 144 Difficult choices

On the other side of the city gate, nearly a thousand elite soldiers were covering Wang Jing and a group of generals as they fled out of the city.

Suddenly the knight in front reined in his horse suddenly, and the entire team's progress came to a halt.

"What's going on ahead?"

Wang Jing was a little angry and asked loudly.

"Deputy Commander Wang! The enemy is at hand. Where are you going?"

a young voice asked.

Wang Jing's heart trembled suddenly, and then his face changed and he smiled.

He winked a few times to both sides, got off his horse, and walked all the way to the front of the team.

"Wang Jing has met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Wang Dingding nodded and saluted Ayimu.

"The war is urgent, no need to be polite!"

Ayimu frowned slightly.

Beside her stood Mo Ziyun and Ning Tianhan, while Qi Hui, who was wearing steel armor, fell to the ground, making a lot of noise.

Wang Jing looked behind them and saw that Song Beichen was nowhere to be seen, and the armor of the soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition were in tatters and their uniforms were stained with blood.

"Your Highness Princess, I heard that you and General Song are in danger, and I am preparing to go out of the city to rescue you!"

Wang Jing explained.

"Really? Deputy Commander Wang, let alone the army of sand monsters approaching the city, let's talk about the direction you are heading out of the city. The goal of our expedition is the southwest oasis. Why are you going northeast? Haven't you heard the story of the opposite direction?

?”

Ning Tian said coldly.

"Uh...this, actually..."

I didn't expect this guy to be so ungrateful. Wang Jing's face looked a little ugly.

"No matter what, please go back to Marshal Shen now! Hold on to the city! Protect the people!"

Mo Ziyun said loudly.

"But Marshal Shen has been killed in battle!"

Wang Jing said immediately.

"What did you say? The master is so powerful, how could he die?"

Ayimu was a little unbelievable.

"That's true, princess! Marshal Shen left his last words before his death, asking me to act as the marshal, and asking me to find you and obey your orders. Please lead the soldiers and civilians of Kunlun City to evacuate outside the city to a safe place.

go."

Wang Jing said with sincerity.

"master……"

Ayimu suddenly burst into tears and almost fell to his knees on the ground.

Mo Ziyun quickly supported her.

At this time, the main street in the city was in chaos.

"Report to the deputy commander, a large number of fleeing people are coming over, and they are crowded together with our people, and the whole street is blocked!"

A general rushed over and shouted loudly.

"How unbecoming is it for the army and the people to flee! Deputy Commander Wang, I think we should return to the city quickly!"

Ning Tianhan said.

"This... princess, Marshal Shen's last words..."

Wang Jing hinted.

"I believe that the master is definitely not the one who abandoned me and fled. Maybe he didn't explain it clearly! Since everyone has decided to obey my order, then follow me back to the city and cover the evacuation of the people!"

Ayimu wiped away her tears, stood up straight and said.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jing's brows suddenly frowned.

"I will obey the princess' orders!"

He cupped his hands and responded helplessly.

After the two armies joined together, they immediately headed towards the southern city gate.

There was chaos everywhere along the way, and the people in the city didn't even have time to grab their belongings. They hugged their children and supported the elderly, and fled in panic amidst the dark wind and sand and the terrifying roars of beasts.

Mo Ziyun defended tightly in front of Ayimu, while Ning Tianhan and Qi Hui were scattered on both sides, scouting the enemy's situation and killing the oncoming sand monsters from time to time.

Four or five young men wearing leather armor came running towards me. They were holding tools such as shovels and poles in their hands. They did not look like soldiers.

When the young people saw such a large group of heavily armed troops suddenly appearing, they fell to their knees in fear.

"Deputy Commander Wang, what's going on? Have you recruited young people to go to the city?"

Ayimu helped several young people up and asked.

"This... princess, this is the case. The situation this time is more critical than ever before. Even Marshal Shen died in the battle, so I am also a little confused and have no choice but to obey the authority! Princess, please convict me!"

Wang Jing cupped his hands, lowered his head and said.

"Follow the right in urgent matters, why do I feel..."

Just as Mo Ziyun was about to speak, Qi Hui fell from the sky and landed in front of him.

"Tianhan, Xiaomo, the captain has something important to tell you!"

He winked, hinting that he could take a step to speak.

Mo Ziyun nodded and immediately followed Qi Hui to a remote place.

"What? The wormhole channel was opened in advance?"

Mo Ziyun was immediately shocked.

"I thought everything would be solved smoothly after getting the Sky Mending Stone, but I didn't expect that it actually put us in a dilemma!"

Ning Tianhan sighed.

"If we had known this, we shouldn't have come back. We should have gone directly to the captain and the others!"

Qi Hui crossed his arms and looked at the sky with a frown.

"If we go to the captain directly, what should Ayimu do? She is the Princess of Kunlun, there is no reason to abandon her subjects!"

Mo Ziyun said.

"Qi Hui, what are your plans now?"

Ning Tianhan asked.

"What else can we do? I don't want to be locked up here for 1,200 years! Let's go before no one notices! The captain has sent us the coordinates of the wormhole passage. We have enough time to rush on our way!"

Qi Hui lowered his voice to avoid being noticed by passers-by.

"I agree! There can be no further delay!"

Ning Tianhan thought for a while and then spoke.

"Xiao Mo, what about you?"

Qi Hui asked.

"I……"

Mo Ziyun was thoughtful and looked stunned.

"Xiao Mo, you are a member of the Sky Shield Pioneer and must obey the captain's orders!"

Qi Hui reminded.

"Okay...I'll go with you..."

Mo Ziyun lowered his head, seeming to be looking for something in his peripheral vision.

"Then let's go! I'll go explore the way for you!"

After Qi Hui finished speaking, he flew forward.

Ning Tianhan patted Mo Ziyun's shoulder, and the two followed him side by side.

On the street, the soldiers formed a military formation and kept killing the approaching sand monsters. Wang Jing and Ayimu walked in the middle with an indifferent expression.

He seemed to feel something and turned back to look at both sides of the street.

"Princess, why haven't the three of them come back yet?"

Wang Jing asked.

"Well, maybe there is something important to say!"

Ayimu was careless.

"They couldn't be afraid and ran away quietly, right?"

Wang Jing said with some worry.

"How could it be? I know them well. They are all upright men. They will never be sanctimonious or have ulterior motives like those villains."
