Chapter 1399 Suspicious Flock of Birds
While Fu Zhaoning, Ji Lao and others were speeding up the preparation of medicine, Xiao Lanyuan had already arrived at the city wall of the capital.
There is now a group of Qinglong Guards guarding the city wall.
The Qinglong Guards have recently recruited some young men from the Dark City, and some were sent from the border towns of Zhao State by An Nian.
There are eighty of these people in total. The Qinglong Guards have been training them these days, and initial results have been seen in the past half month.
They were all wearing armor and carrying swords, looking quite majestic.
Xiao Lanyuan was very generous to them. Every day they ate the nutritious meals recommended by Fu Zhaoning, and also had soups prepared by Fu Zhaoning for them.
Most of these people were on the verge of survival as they were all somewhat malnourished. Many of them were very thin when they arrived, but after nearly a month, everyone had gained weight and became much stronger.
In addition, most of the training of the Qinglong Guards is to strengthen their bodies first, and now their bodies are stronger.
These eighty people will be the first batch of soldiers defending the city. After they are assigned to the four city gates, they will be allowed to lead the team when others come to join them in the future.
Now when they saw Xiao Lanyuan coming, they all stopped training and lined up to salute.
"Your Majesty!"
Xiao Lanyuan listened to their powerful voices, which were different from the sparse voices when he first saw them, and nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work. Did you find anything?"
"Your Highness, the spies ahead reported that those people are still three miles away and will probably be outside the city tomorrow."
"Three miles away?"
Xiao Lanyuan's heart moved, and he wanted to go out and explore on his own.
If he goes out, he should be able to hear what the other party says. As long as he hears something, he can take more specific precautions.
With his lightness skill, an hour would be enough for him.
"Are there any more people coming?" he asked again.
The capital has reappeared in the sunlight. Once this news spreads, people will surely come to seek refuge.
He sent out a group of guards to meet the civilians who might come along the way, but he didn't know whether anyone would run into the people from the Shenyi Sect.
It would be troublesome if it really happened.
The people of the Shenyi sect are cruel and ruthless, and they are afraid of taking advantage of innocent people.
"Your Majesty, no common people are coming at the moment."
"Well, you must be careful these two days. You must guard day and night, don't miss any movement, and don't underestimate the enemy."
"yes."
Xiao Lanyuan looked outside the city. It was all white and he couldn't see anything.
A group of birds flew towards this side in front.
Originally, there was nothing special about it, but after Xiao Lanyuan took a closer look, he found it a little strange.
Because two or three birds among the flock seemed to suddenly fall, and then flapped their wings quickly and flew up.
It was just a change in the blink of an eye, and he happened to see it.
He focused his eyes and saw that the flock of birds were flying towards this side. He immediately gave the order: "Ready your bows and arrows!"
The guards were very surprised. Why were they preparing bows and arrows now? They hadn't seen anyone yet.
But this was Xiao Lanyuan's order, and although they were puzzled, they still carried it out immediately.
Several people took bows and arrows.
"This one is for the king."
Xiao Lanyuan took one and immediately drew his bow and arrow, while giving the order, "Shoot those birds."
Kill birds?
The guards did not dare to disobey and immediately followed suit, pulling the strings and shooting arrows, with all arrows aimed at the group of birds.
Xiao Lanyuan aimed at the leading head.
"shoot!"
With a whoosh, his arrow flew out first.
The others immediately shot arrows as well.
