Chapter 625: Chapter 52: Under the Sound of Iron Cavalry, Seeing Breaking Army Again_3

The youth in a blue-grey outfit rubbed his fists.

The silver-haired girl lifted her foot and gently kicked under Li Guanyi’s right leg.

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I know my own strength."

Mr. Zhao’s face bore an expression as if he had seen a ghost; in the blink of an eye, all his men had been sent flying. With Li Guanyi’s current martial arts skills, even without wearing armor and not getting serious, these men were no match for him.

Mr. Zhao’s face was swollen in a large patch, but he still had that characteristic reckless rage of a rural tyrant, saying, "You, you!"

"Do you know who I am?!"

"I don’t."

Great anger coming from Mr. Zhao, "I am an official appointed by the Court, the deputy in charge of criminal law in this town. The County Magistrate, the County Magistrate in the county city, are all familiar with me, and all the gangs, big and small, are on good terms with me. People within eighty miles see me and have to lower their heads and greet me."

"How dare you hit me, do you dare to hit a Court-appointed official?!"

"You, you, you, just you wait! I’ll go find my big brother, get my big brother here!"

Li Guanyi said, "A Court-appointed official, seems to have even more authority than the Emperor."

Mr. Zhao cursed loudly, "In these eighty miles, my word is more useful than any Crown Prince or Emperor! Call my people!" Li Guanyi signaled Xu Yunxia not to worry, as Xu Yunxia was someone who had also seen her share of trouble.

The family that could raise a young man like Yuan Zhi, who at his young age dared to mete out justice through killing, must indeed possess a certain boldness. So, they simply stopped worrying, fetched some meat, and shared it together. In no time at all, about twenty Government Officials, armed with water and fire rods, had arrived. The one leading them, dressed in cloth armor, yelled furiously:

"Who? Who dares to mess with my brother?"

They surrounded Li Guanyi and the others, their rods raised, pointing at them as they pompously declared their presence. Li Guanyi said to Shaking Light, "It seems true, as said, that in Ying Country, the rivalry between the civil and military runs deep and officials abound everywhere."

The official in a fit of rage, swung his rod down at Li Guanyi, cursing:

"Fuck, I’m talking to you!"

But before he could get close, the pain in his wrist and the base of his thumb was so intense that the rod flew out of his hand. He staggered backward, and then suddenly, there was the sound of muffled thunder. Xu Huilan looked up at the sky with confusion and tension, saying, "Is it starting to rain?"

"I, I haven’t had the chance to collect my washed clothes..."

"It’s not rain; it’s the wind."

Li Guanyi answered, extending his hand to support his mother, saying, "It’s because of your son, a wind has risen in this world. I owe you thanks..."

Xu Huilan did not understand, and the young man before her broke into a grin:

"Your son, he’s truly incredible!"

Many years ago, a gentle woman would take her child’s hand, smile as she pointed to the outside world, and speak of the future’s breadth, saying she had no skills, so her child must learn to read, write, and practice martial arts.

"Don’t be like your mother."

"Your mother had no skills, so she hopes her child won’t follow the same old path."

Back then, the woman would reach out and affectionately ruffle the hair of the young Yuan Zhi, smiling happily, "My child is definitely the most talented."

"He’s the most precious, most valuable treasure in this world."

But Yuan Zhi didn’t know.

He didn’t need to truly become such a talented person with heaven-defying abilities.

In the eyes of that woman, he was already the most outstanding person, and so memories from the past seemed to blend into the wind, shattered by the sudden thunder. The roaring sound drew closer, like an approaching storm, and Mr. Zhao turned around, only to see an endless surge of thunder, and a wave of dark color appeared.

Clad in dark heavy armor, the eight-foot-tall war horses breathed like dragons.

Five hundred Heavy Cavalry.

Five hundred Light Cavalry.

All holding their fine steel war spears.

A thousand elite iron cavalry charged forward, and as four thousand horse hooves thunderously crashed down, it seemed as though the earth itself was trembling. None could calm their wildly beating hearts. This iron force, already tested by the tumultuous era, burst forth like a tidal wave, and with a final breath, surged into the area.

Eventually, at the climax, they came to an abrupt halt!

They obeyed the command and stopped.

But the fierce momentum they brought along caused waves to roll up; their battle robes and banners fluttered freely in the wind, exhibiting a silent, icy might that reached for the skies, making everyone’s heart pound in their chests. Mr. Zhao and the City Captain of the local town paled in fear.

Because they saw, that young man was just standing there.

Li Guanyi reached out to hold Xu Huilan steady.

The renowned general Ling Pingyang dismounted.

Thus, a thousand elite iron cavalry dismounted in unison. They placed their cavalry spears onto the hooks of their tack and then, in a uniform motion, dismounted from their steeds.

They stepped forward in unison, and even clad in full armor, they managed to kneel on the ground.

They extended their palms and struck their chests with force.

A solemn silence ensued.

Without the need for words, their identity was proven. The color drained from Zhao Jiao’s face, turning paler than if he had been dead for three days, almost unable to remain seated.

No, are you, are you kidding me?

The once plainly dressed young man now stood like a blunt heavy sword, his aura formidable. A warhorse was brought to him, and as Li Guanyi walked past a thousand elite mounted troops, all eyes on him, he reached out to take hold of the warhorse.

He did not mount it but approached the mother, speaking in a gentle, calm voice: "I am Li Guanyi, who has some standing."

"Yuan Zhi is our army’s strategist."

"He sent me to bring you to him."

Li Guanyi looked at the disbelieving Xu Huilan and softly said, "Please allow Li Guanyi to lead the horse for you." In front of the thousand-strong army, the renowned general helped Xu Huilan onto the horse, and then personally led the horse by the reins.

Xu Yunxia and his wife, along with their child, were also escorted by the soldiers of the Qilin Army.
