Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1422 Pingcheng
The speculation in his heart became a reality, and Meng Ge's heart was pounding when he heard it.

But she is no longer the naive little girl she was back then, and she will not easily believe what outsiders say.

She took a deep breath, her tone suspicious, "Since you said that your door is so powerful, what were you doing before?"

Just looking at Xiaolian's suspicious background but still being able to get the status of a court lady, the power of this sect should not be underestimated.

But they obviously have a certain strength, but they couldn't hide it before, and now they make a sudden move, which will inevitably make people doubt their motives.

"I knew you would ask that," Xiaolian sat down cross-legged by the fire, cut off a deer leg and gnawed on it, muttering vaguely while munching, "Do you think it's easy to go to Ninggu Pagoda to save people?" something?"

"We are all the people Ning Guta wants to arrest. To put it bluntly, the prisoners who are going to be locked up in the prison go to the prison to save people. Have you ever seen such a thing?"

Meng Ge was at a loss for words, "This..."

"Actually, many of our sisters don't want to practice at all," Xiaolian said lightly, "We practice just to survive."

There is no high reason, just to survive.

It is true that cultivators might be caught in Ninggu Pagoda, or even tortured and killed by male cultivators for no reason, but if they did not practice, many of them without father and mother would not be able to live at all.

"To become a practitioner, at least we can go to the woods to catch food if we lack food, or at least be forced into an alley corner by men, and we can knock down those bastards with our own sword."

Xiao Lian bit down a piece of meat hard.

Meng Ge clutched her chest. That's right, since she was a child, if it wasn't for the protection of her elder sister who is a practitioner, she wouldn't be able to live at all.

Xiao Lian took a deep breath, practice gave women the power to survive, but this world wants to deprive them of this power, so that they can only live by relying on others or betraying themselves.

"It's not easy for many of us to survive," Xiaolian said indifferently, "Is it hard to understand why we dare not go to Ninggu Pagoda to overthrow all this?"

Meng Ge shook his head.

"But why are you now..."

"We're just waiting and watching," Xiao Lian finished nibbling on the deer leg, "Just listen to what I said just now, and don't pay too much attention to it."

"The task given to me by the door is just to go to Pingcheng to see the situation. If the situation is beneficial to the female cultivator, then add fuel to the flames."

"If it's unfavorable," Xiao Lian patted her oily hands and resumed her unscrupulous look, "then I'll put oil on the soles of my feet and run away."

Meng Ge frowned, "Why are you so..."

The word "irresponsible" came to her lips, and she swallowed it again.

Because this is not the responsibility of these female cultivators.

"I know you want to say we're a grasshopper," Xiaolian pulled up a piece of grass from the ground and held it in her mouth, "but do you think everyone is the former Qin princess? Isn't everyone like her who just happens to be able to pick up the grass?" to the chief."

When the former Qin princess appeared, there was also a round of quarrels in the door. In the end, everyone agreed that the princess named Ying Baoyue failed once and there was a cliff behind her. It is estimated that she will go to Ninggu Tower to report soon.

In the end, they didn't expect that Ying Baoyue would indeed go to Ninggu Tower to report, but it was because of reasons they had never thought of.

He has successfully passed the middle-level ceremony and is going to participate in the high-level ceremony.

Hearing Ying Baoyue's name, hope rekindled in Meng Ge's eyes.

"Your Highness, you are indeed very powerful," she murmured, "Your Highness is here, sister will be fine."

"I advise you not to have too much hope," Xiaolian said coolly, "Didn't you see that Her Royal Highness is also collecting power along the way? She should be very clear in her heart, even if it is her, she wants to enter Ning The Guta is useless now."

Ninggu Pagoda can be called the strongest fortress in the Northern Wei Dynasty except for the Great Wall of Eternal Night. There are eight heavenly cultivators stationed there alone, not to mention thousands of troops and countless complex formation traps.

"No matter how many mercenaries that princess takes in, it won't matter," Xiao Lian's eyes showed a trace of pity.

These days, following Ying Baoyue's team, she watched that villagers from the villages they saved continued to join their team spontaneously, and the name of "Princess Army" became more and more famous.

But ordinary people are ordinary people. In front of practitioners, what use are those ordinary people who have only a handful of strength?

Not to mention that many of them were pale and emaciated, and they didn't even have weapons, so they just followed behind with a bamboo pole.

Xiaolian originally had admiration for the first female leader in history, but the more she observed her, the more she didn't understand what Ying Baoyue wanted to do.

It's fine to take in practitioners, but why take in so many ordinary people?Couldn't she see that many people followed them just to make a living, and they didn't have any fighting skills at all.

Even though she is the most elite cultivator, doesn't she know that ordinary people are just mobs in battle?
Xiao Lian took a deep breath. Although she was very grateful to the sect master who took them in, she also knew that the sect master took her and the sisters in because they were useful.

Seeing that the group of young heroes surrounded by Ying Baoyue are almost all distinguished and skilled, she originally thought that Ying Baoyue was also the same person as the head of the sect, but until she found out that Ying Baoyue was surrounded by many oil bottles.

For example, she didn't understand what Ying Baoyue was doing with the second lady of the Li family all the time. She had to devote all her energy to protecting her when she had nothing to do. What are you doing?

And that "Iron Guard" Guichen, isn't he not even an earth-level cultivator?
The more Xiaolian observed, the more she didn't understand what kind of person Ying Baoyue was.

Can such a group of messy and exhausted people really get close to Ninggu Tower?

Seeing Meng Ge huddled in despair beside her, Xiao Lian sighed, "Okay, don't think about it too much, go to bed early, you have to go on your way tomorrow."

……

……

The days flew by in a tense schedule.

Just four days before the enthronement ceremony set in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the outline of a city appeared in front of the convoy of Ying Baoyue and others.

The air was extremely dry, with yellow sand flying up.

Ying Baoyue fixed her eyes on the city, and the next moment she closed her eyes and looked at the long queue behind her.

"Sister, where is..."

Sensing the change in her mood, Ji Ange grabbed her sleeve.

"Yes," Ying Baoyue nodded.

She looked at the tall city in front of her. Because it had not been maintained for many years, the city wall had been cracked in many places, and she could not see the demeanor of the past capital at all.

I'm afraid this place didn't expect that after so many years of quietness, the wind and rain will be ushered in again.

"An Ge," Ying Baoyue pointed forward.

"That's Pingcheng."

Here they are.
