My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 488: Setting Out

Chapter 488: Setting Out

It was not easy to deal with children. Qin Feng and Xiao Bai were in a stalemate.

In the end, it was Liu Jianli who stepped forward and said, “Husband, Xiao Bai’s strength is still greater than yours. If it doesn’t work out, just take her with you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a gentle breeze blew by and the surroundings fell silent as if you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Feng looked stunned and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Bai pouted and said, “I’m much better than my brother. If my brother can go, why can’t I?”

First, there was the betrayal from the wife, and then there was the blow from the innocent Xiao Bai.

Qin Feng felt uncomfortable all over.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Lie Ying spoke up and said, “Military Advisor Qin, it’s okay to bring her along. With your two wives accompanying you, there shouldn’t be any major problems on this trip.”

You were not like this before. Qin Feng sighed and solemnly warned, “Xiao Bai, you can come along, but remember not to run around. If you dare to go even halfway outside the three-yard radius of your two elder sisters, I’ll send someone to send you back immediately. Do you understand?”

With everything settled, it was time to leave.

Lie Ying ordered someone to bring two war horses. Without saying a word, Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan jumped on the backs of the horses and looked at Qin Feng together.

It seemed like they were letting him choose who he wanted to ride with.

Another dilemma! But this time, I won’t be stumped, Qin Feng thought as he looked at Xiao Bai beside him and asked quietly, “Which Elder Sister do you want to ride with?”

Qin Feng had already thought about it. He would just throw this dilemma directly at Xiao Bai. After Xiao Bai made her choice, he would naturally have to ride with the other one.

That way, he wouldn’t offend either side.

After all, it was Xiao Bai’s choice, and what bad intentions could a child have?

After looking at Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan, Xiao Bai thought for a moment and then said, “Whichever horse brother rides, I’ll ride the other one.”

‘Damn it,’ Qin Feng’s mouth twitched and he chuckled dryly, “Xiao Bai, the space on the horse’s back is limited, we can’t have three people riding at the same time.”

“I can ride on my brother’s back,” Xiao Bai chuckled.

The course of events was far beyond Qin Feng’s expectations. Feeling the gaze of the two women, he understood that the pressure was once again on him.

At this critical moment, Qin Feng looked in the direction of Lie Ying and interrupted, “Wait, General Lie, could it be that your warhorse is the legendary…”

“Oh? General Qin recognises my Sky Soaring Horse?” Lie Ying interrupted with a grin.

“This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime divine horse. If it weren’t for my illustrious military achievements in the past, the emperor wouldn’t have given me this divine horse. You know, even Liu Tianlu coveted this divine horse back then, but he couldn’t snatch it from me,” Lie Ying chuckled proudly.

Qin Feng suddenly realised, “It is indeed the Sky Soaring Horse. Seeing it in person is truly incomparable to hearing about it. Its coat, its sturdy hooves, it is indeed an exceptional horse. I have always wanted to ride the Sky Soaring Horse myself. I wonder if General Lie would allow me to do so?”

“Such a trivial matter, why should it be difficult?” Lie Ying replied without hesitation. 

With a quick movement of his right hand, he lifted Qin Feng onto the horse’s back, followed closely by Xiao Bai, who clung tightly to Qin Feng’s back.

“How does it feel?” Lie Ying asked with a broad grin.

“It feels… much easier,” Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

“Easier? What kind of description is that?” ie Ying shook his head and didn’t think much about it. He just shouted, “Army, listen up! The Military War Duke Army, march out!”

“The Military War Duke Army, march out!” The response was thunderous and deafening.

Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan exchanged glances and rode closely beside Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had never expected Lie Ying to be not only a ruthless man, but also quite a talker; his mouth never stopped talking on the way.

He recounted the past achievements of the Duke’s Military War Army, emphasising their bravery and earnestly persuading Qin Feng to become a true strategist for the Duke’s Military War Army.

Even Xiao Bai, who was lying on her back, listened until she became sleepy and started snoring.

Qin Feng used a cloth to bind Xiao Bai to him and changed the subject, and asked, “General Lie, why don’t you tell me about the situation in the western regions?”

Lie Ying touched his beard and reluctantly began to speak.

Among the four realms of the Great Qian, if one were to say which realm was the most stable besides the Eastern Realm, it would undoubtedly be the Western Realm.

This came as a surprise to Qin Feng because as far as he knew, Xiao Bai’s mother often fought with other demons and ghosts to take over the Dragon Vein territory. How could the Western Empire be considered stable?

However, after listening to General Lie’s explanation, he understood the reason.

The White Tiger Demon King of the Western Region was powerful and had extraordinary methods. Their ferocity had been earned through countless battles.

And those demons and ghosts who admired her formidable strength naturally rallied under her banner, forming a formidable force in the Western Region.

Theoretically, with such a formidable entity in the Western Region, the Demon Slaying Department should be uneasy.

However, the White Tiger Demon King strictly adhered to certain rules. She never laid a hand on the Heavenly City territory of the human race, nor did she allow her subordinates to harm humans.

With her restraint and the presence of the Demon Slaying Department, the people of the Western Realm lived an enviable life.

Qin Feng nodded thoughtfully before asking curiously, “If that’s the case, what about Qiongyu City?”

“That’s a bit strange. The Red Lotus Demon Slayers guarding Qiongyu City sent a letter requesting reinforcements, stating that an alarming number of demons and ghosts had surrounded the city without attacking. The actual situation can only be judged with one’s own eyes.”

Surrounded without any attack?

Qin Feng’s brow furrowed as he thought about the scenes he had witnessed with the Star Observation Technique. He couldn’t shake the eerie feeling of foreboding.

The people who had invaded Jinyang City were obviously planning something in the Western Empire.

When Lie Ying saw this, he thought that the other party was worried about the danger of this trip, so he laughed and said, “The reputation of the Military War Duke Army is not just talk. The demons and ghosts surrounding Qiongyu City are nothing to worry about!”

“It’s just a pity that the Demons and Ghosts don’t dare show themselves when the Military War Duke’s Army marches, otherwise I could let the military advisor witness the bravery of our soldiers!”

“Of course, with the reputation of the Military War Duke Army, the Demons and Ghosts will naturally avoid its edge.” Qin Feng praised, causing Lie Ying to laugh heartily as he stroked his beard.

But at that moment, a fierce wind rose around them, toppling trees, filling the air with sand and dust, and the horse’s hooves trampled..

“What’s going on?”

“We’re under attack!”

Amidst a burst of exclamations, the Military War Duke’s Army quickly adjusted their formation, facing in all directions, ready and waiting in a tight formation.

The aura of battle instantly permeated the entire army.

Seeing this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel astonished. It was reasonable for them to be second only to the Divine Marquis Army.

Their calm and composed demeanour in the face of danger alone far surpassed that of ordinary armies.

Lie Ying looked in the direction of the dust and sand, his face flushing red with anger as he shouted, “Who the hell dares to block my path?!”

Just a moment ago, he was bragging, now he was being swiftly slapped in the face, how could the brave general not be enraged?

Everyone saw pairs of red eyes emerging from the sand, which clearly indicated hostile intentions.
