Free Web NovelChapter 1149: Chapter 365: Sceneries from All Nations Gather Here_2
The servants and slaves weren’t brought to the Guanhe Platform; they were all left in the gardens of Fengcheng.
His gaze swept over a hulking man with braided hair, a masked person riding a green-maned horse, and a beautiful woman on a white steed, her head adorned with a silver crown that swayed.
Numerous knights guarded them.
The man with braids seemed to be telling an amusing story, laughing heartily.
Jiang Wang thought that those who had gone to feast in Qi Country’s mansion might be these very people.
The so-called Shepherd Kingdom Princess, he merely glanced at her, appreciating the legendary azure eyes without offense. It was the masked person he studied more closely; the bronze mask, carved in the visage of a demon, had some interesting patterns.
"What you staring at?"
The braided man suddenly turned his head, glaring at him with a fierce momentum.
On any ordinary day, Jiang Wang would have merely laughed it off. There was no need for major conflict over a few words.
But representing Qi Country in a military expedition today, he could not afford to lose his dignity.
Therefore, he lifted his head slightly and said to the man, "I’m looking at you, so what?"
At this remark,
the entire Qi Country troop abruptly halted.
All the knights of the Sky-covering Army turned their horses around and stared coldly at the man.
And not just him, but the entire Shepherd Kingdom troop.
Swords hung at their waists, talismanic spears slung over their backs.
Silent and orderly, their presence emanated killing intent.
Surrounded by Helian Yuyun’s men were naturally the Royal Tent Cavalry of the Da Mu Empire. They too twisted their horses around in unison, longbows at hand, and scimitars at their waists.
The front line of the Shepherd Kingdom, the Cangtu Divine Cavalry, also stopped and looked back. Each man had a huge iron spear in hand.
The giant wolves’ eyes emitted a cold, ghostly glow.
On the Suan Ni Bridge, silence fell for a moment!
Only the Long River roaring beneath continued its tumultuous flow.
In such a tense moment, Cao Jie remained expressionless, neutral without taking a stand.
The Golden Crown Priest Namo Duo of the Shepherd Kingdom didn’t even step out of his carriage.
It was obvious they intended to let them solve it themselves.
A fight was naturally out of the question. A major battle on the Suan Ni Bridge before the Yellow River Gathering even began would be a laughable tale to the people of the world.
However, for the two individuals who caused the friction, a pre-gathering bout to spice things up wouldn’t be a problem.
Yuwen Ze was about to cross the border alone to test his mettle against this audacious person from Qi,
but...
A hand reached out beside him, grabbing his reins firmly.
Rucheng Yeshua’s voice was somewhat awkward but persuasive, "If someone stares at you, you stare back a few more times. What harm can it do to your face? To start a fight here, do you want Jinge to mock you?"
The latter half convinced Yuwen Ze.
But he couldn’t lose his momentum, so he glared fiercely at Jiang Wang and shouted angrily, "Stare at me, and you’ll get sty in your eye!"
Royal Tent Cavalry: ...
Sky-covering Army: ...
Helian Yuyun felt embarrassed for him from the sidelines.
Had this fellow not learned anything from his years on life’s perilous edge?
Not being so good at fighting was one thing, but he couldn’t even talk tough.
Aside from Zhao Rucheng, who had spent three years defending the Border Wilderness, it seemed he gained nothing!
Zhao Rucheng was directly dragging Yuwen Ze’s reins, pulling him towards another side of the troop, "You’re drunk from lunch, go rest in the carriage!"
Yuwen Ze was still relenting, "What are you dragging me for? Don’t pull me, I’m not drunk. This brat dares to be arrogant with me..."
Zhao Rucheng pulled harder, his voice fiercely sinking into his ears: "If I were him, I would say this is the Yellow River Gathering. If you want to cross hands with me, call your best from the Inner Mansion. Are you even worthy? What will you do then? Ask Jinge to help you out? Isn’t that shameful?"
Yuwen Ze immediately ceased his bluster.
Muttering, "I was just trying to be intimidating. Who knew the people of Qi would take it so seriously..."
The Royal Tent Cavalry of the Shepherd Kingdom defused their aura.
The giant wolf shook its ears in boredom and turned back around.
The Cangtu Divine Cavalry continued to move forward.
On the Sky-covering Army’s side, they too silently returned to formation.
It must be said honestly, clashing with this Shepherd Kingdom person, who didn’t seem too sharp, didn’t feel very imposing. Instead, it seemed they had lost face themselves.
Only Jiang Wang, the instigator of the dispute, continued to walk forward with the troop, yet... he pondered.
The awkward and distinctly unnatural voice of that masked person lingered oddly in his ears.
Even though he hadn’t activated the Voice Broadcast Immortal Style, his keen awareness of sound still allowed him to detect a sense of familiarity. freewebnovёl.ƈom
It seemed he had heard this person’s real voice somewhere before.
That real voice was not clear, but he had definitely heard it.
Definitely.
But when, and where?
Jiang Wang looked back again, but the man in the bronze mask was no longer in sight.
"Still looking?" Ji Zhaonan, who rode ’Xiao Bai’, chuckled, "If that brute really came over, would you have actually fought him?"
Jiang Wang gathered his thoughts and smiled, "Why would I? I would definitely have told him to call their number one from the Inner Mansion. Whether early or late, a fight with Shepherd Kingdom’s top Inner Mansion is all the same. But that person, definitely wasn’t qualified to fight."
Ji Zhaonan nodded, well aware that this was the reasoning of someone with a brain.
With restraint on both sides, a potential conflict dissolved into nothing.
The troop advanced for a while longer until, at the midpoint of the Suan Ni Bridge, Jiang Wang saw a massive carving on the surface of the bridge.
It depicted a beast that resembled a lion, sitting in repose as if bathed in divine light.
Presumably, this was the fabled Suan Ni.
On the entire "Fifth Town," this was the only sculpture.
