The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2090 - 2089: Impenetrable Fortress
Everyone saw that this alien princess was quite down-to-earth, and after drinking and chatting for a while, they quickly accepted her.
Long Fei deliberately skipped the part about the ritual, letting Lin Yingying accept it more easily.
Besides, he really hadn’t done anything.
Lin Yingying obviously wouldn’t be so easily fooled and said to Jin Xiyao, "So, you don’t plan to return to Aurelius in the future?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Jin Xiyao said, "Right, past events have vanished like clouds. From now on, I’ll be tagging along with Long Fei wherever he goes!"
Long Fei covered his face and coughed to remind Jin Xiyao.
This guy had no guard at all and even openly said to Lin Yingying, "Although I slept in the fractured space for an era, I’m not that old. I’ll call you Sister Lin from now on, how about it?"
"Great!"
Lin Yingying chuckled lightly and asked her, "You trust Long Fei this much? Just based on a brief encounter, you followed him back?"
Jin Xiyao glanced at Long Fei, smiled, and said, "Of course, we have already performed the ritual, so naturally I trust him. Even if he hurts me, even if he’s a bad person, I’d acknowledge it."
The women on the scene exclaimed, all curious and asking, "What’s the ritual?"
"Marriage?"
"Are you saying you’re married to my brother-in-law?"
Lin Shanshan’s eyes were wide with gossip.
Long Fei’s heart sank as he thought, great, this girl doesn’t have a clue, and she so easily let someone draw out this information?
Or does she simply not care about it?
Lin Yingying glanced at Long Fei.
Long Fei, feeling guilty, hurriedly explained, "The ritual is a kind of ceremony on Aurelius, and it’s different from our marriage here."
Jin Xiyao looked at him amusedly, never expecting that this fearless hero was actually frightened of his wife.
She spoke for Long Fei, "Indeed, the ritual is just a ceremony, similar to the master-servant ceremony between the Human Race and the Demon Clan, and doesn’t mean anything."
"Ooh!"
Everyone smiled mischievously, not believing that it meant nothing.
Lin Yingying stood up directly and said to Little Kirin and Little Xuan, "Since your father is back, let’s return to Jade Island!"
Long Fei immediately stood up, blocking her way, and said, "Running around so late at night, and Chang’an City hasn’t been taken yet. Aren’t you going to stay and help?"
Lin Yingying gave him a sidelong glance and said, "With you, the great hero, around, how can you need me?"
She motioned for the three wolves to pull the carriage over and took the two children onto the carriage.
Wudu followed along, silently not daring to speak.
When the master is timid, even the Demon Servant becomes timid too.
Lin Shanshan was originally hiding among the crowd, still wanting to stay and have fun for a few more days.
Lin Yingying called to her, "Aren’t you leaving?"
She chuckled sheepishly, bade everyone goodbye, and said, "My sister alone isn’t safe, I’m going to accompany her."
She waved goodbye to Long Fei, then followed onto the carriage.
Ji Wanrong and Ji Wanyu stood aside, not knowing what to do, and could only wave goodbye as they left.
Once they left, the scene became much quieter.
Long Fei made a sign to Jin Wu, instructing him to send a small warship to follow Lin Yingying back.
To avoid any mishaps on the way.
Jin Xiyao looked at everyone, somewhat confused, and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Chu Feng choked on his drink, laughed, and said, "No worries, our lady of the house is wonderful, just a bit jealous. After you spend more time with her, she will accept you."
"Is that so?"
Jin Xiyao also laughed awkwardly and said, "Then I really shouldn’t have brought up the ritual just now."
Wang Jie grinned at Murong Chong and said, "Third brother, look, being single is better. Marriage is not only the grave of love but also a prison for men."
Murong Chong took a sip of his drink and chuckled lightly. As a proper person, he naturally wouldn’t join Wang Jie and Chu Feng’s gleeful schadenfreude.
Long Fei sent Lin Yingying off and sat back down with an expression of frustration.
Ji Wanrong returned to her seat with her sister and said to him, "Do you want to go back and appease Sister Lin?"
Long Fei took a sip of his drink, feigning ignorance, "Are you kidding? I am the Great Sect Leader of Yin Yang Sect, not someone who’s afraid of his wife!"
Everyone exchanged looks and immediately burst into laughter.
Jin Xiyao couldn’t help but laugh heartily, genuinely enjoying the people here, feeling like part of a big family.
This was unimaginable on Aurelius.
In the past, no one dared joke with her.
After a night of idle chat, the next day, intelligence arrived from the rear from the Vanguard Army commander Ji Xiaolian.
They had already blocked the various reinforcements of the enemy along the supply line behind the Central Plains.
After a night’s battle, they annihilated one hundred thousand elite Northern Army troops.
Now the reinforcements have retreated, and Ji Xiaolian is asking if the Vanguard Army should advance to reinforce the Hangu Pass.
In the military tent, Ji Wanrong and Long Fei, along with various commanders, discussed.
The battle had reached a point where it was no longer about how many enemies could be destroyed, but rather when Chang’an City could be taken.
The reinforcements at Chang’an City were not many, with actual troops held by various lords.
They were still observing and had not yet expressed their stance.
As long as Chang’an City was taken, the entire world would be under control.
Orders were immediately issued from the front-line military tent for Ji Xiaolian’s Vanguard Army to leave some troops to guard Hangu Pass, sealing off the entry points.
The remaining troops were ordered to speedily enter the pass.
Outside Chang’an City, military flags waved.
Both sides were ready and waiting, even the puppet Emperor Ji Mingyi led the expedition personally.
Camps were set up on the city walls, where he commanded the battle personally.
The vanguard of Wang Xun’s Army at the Rear had already arrived outside the city, setting up camp a hundred miles from the city walls.
In this world, a hundred miles isn’t very far.
From this distance on elevated ground, one can clearly see the towering 300-meter-high city walls of Chang’an City.
These walls are not ordinary walls built with blue bricks on the outside. Inside, instead of soil traditionally compacted, they were built with foundations dug ten zhang deep, with the center poured with molten iron.
The walls are nearly a hundred meters wide, encased in blue bricks around a hundred-meter-thick iron wall.
Such walls exist only around Chang’an City in the Great Xia Country.
Since its founding, Great Xia Country has continually reinforced these walls.
Rumor has it, to build these walls, an entire iron mine in the Qinling was emptied.
It’s no exaggeration that these walls couldn’t be blown apart even by a warship from Aurelius.
This isn’t a wall, it’s clearly a surrounding iron mountain.
The gates in these walls are made with Teleportation Arrays.
Outside, a moat a hundred meters deep was dug for defense.
When crucial, the moat can be filled with fire oil as a barrier.
These are just the hardware facilities, there are also various complete Defense Formations inside and outside the walls.
Once these formations are activated during wartime, truly neither ascending to heaven nor entering the earth can occur.
Such a city’s defensive system relying on the common siege knowledge of this world to forcibly seize is bound to come at a great cost.
