"Master's wife!"
Without hesitation, Cheng Letian also kowtowed three times to Xiaobai.
"Get up!"
Li Yao waved his sleeve, and Cheng Letian involuntarily stood up.
Then, he frowned and said, "Someone is walking this way."
A short while later, a soldier covered in wounds and with shattered armor appeared on the mountain path.
"It's Qin Yi?!"
Cheng Letian recognized the person at a glance.
She rushed over and asked the soldier, "Qin Yi, what are you doing here? Where is the general and the army?"
When Qin Yi saw Cheng Letian, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with panic, and he stammered, "I...I don't know..."
Chapter 623 The Blade of Destiny
"have no idea?"
"Hmph, I think you know perfectly well what's going on in your head!"
"Are you afraid of death and want to desert your post?"
Li Yao stared sharply at the soldier named Qin Yi in front of him and shouted a question.
"I...I didn't want to..."
"The Wei army is truly formidable; they have utterly overwhelmed us!"
"Both Xianfeng Junying and Liang Xiong have died in battle!"
"Commander Lu Yifei has been seriously injured!"
"Even the Great General is injured..."
Qin Yi knelt on the ground and confessed in a miserable voice.
"What? My father is injured too?"
Upon hearing that his father was injured, Cheng Letian immediately became anxious.
In the military, she usually referred to her father as the Great General.
But at this moment, she referred to him as her father.
It is clear that she was very concerned about her father's safety.
"Indeed, when I left, the General was already surrounded by the Wei army and had no way to break out. I'm afraid he's in grave danger now!"
Qin Yi said, his face pale.
"No, my father will be fine!"
Cheng Letian tried to comfort himself.
Immediately, she said, "I need to save my father! Master, please help your disciple!"
"Alright, although I don't approve of your father's way of doing things, since you've asked, I'll help you this once!"
Li Yao nodded slightly.
The next moment, he swung the ring through the air.
A streak of orange-yellow light flashed by.
To the astonishment of Cheng Letian and Qin Yi, a giant yellow bird suddenly appeared in the sky.
The yellow bird spread its enormous wings, circling in the air as it let out a sharp cry that shook the heavens!
"Master...this is..."
Cheng Letian's eyes widened and his mouth opened so wide that an apple could fit inside.
"This is my mount, the Yellow Bird!"
Li Yao smiled slightly.
At the same time, he flicked his sleeve, creating a gust of wind that swept up Cheng Letian and Qin Yi, who were still in shock.
The next moment, he, Xiaobai, Cheng Letian, and Qin Yi all appeared on the giant back of the yellow bird.
"ah?"
Am I standing on the back of a yellow bird?
At this moment, Cheng Letian was completely stunned.
She never imagined that one day she would be able to stand on the back of a bird and soar through the sky.
She peered down with great curiosity, only to find an endless abyss below. Terrified, she slipped, lost her balance, screamed, and fell downwards.
However, a sudden gust of wind, like a rope, pulled her up, and she stood once again on the giant back of the yellow bird.
"Hold on tight, and don't look down!"
Li Yao said calmly.
And that soldier Qin Yi was even worse than Cheng Letian.
He was so frightened that his face turned ashen and he trembled uncontrollably.
Afraid of falling off the yellow bird's back, he actually squatted down and gripped the bird's feathers tightly with both hands.
However, the yellow bird's feathers were as hard as iron, and he couldn't hold on to them at all.
"You call yourself a soldier? How dare you be so scared!"
Li Yao glanced at Qin Yi with disdain.
Although Cheng Letian knew that Li Yao's words were directed at Qin Yi.
However, she also took it to heart.
Because she was also a soldier, she was afraid.
In order not to make her master think she was scared, she worked hard to overcome her fear of heights.
She quickly overcame her fear of being high in the air.
"Hey, where is your army?"
Li Yao kicked Qin Yi and demanded an explanation.
"There...there!"
Qin Yi stretched out his trembling right hand, pointed to the southwest, and said.
"Little Yellow, fly southwest!"
Li Yao said loudly.
Upon hearing this, the yellow bird let out a sharp cry, flapped its enormous wings, and flew off in a whooshing sound towards the southwest.
Soon, as the yellow bird passed over a majestic mountain, a fierce battle cry came from below in the distance!
From their vantage point high in the sky, Li Yao and the others could see thick smoke billowing and flames flickering in a valley in the distance, along with many tiny, ant-like figures running around.
"Kill them..."
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The sounds of fierce fighting revealed the horrific nature of the battle below.
"Master, the battlefield is down below, let's go down quickly!"
Cheng Letian was very excited. He grabbed Li Yao's arm and shouted loudly.
"Little Yellow, fly over there quickly!"
Li Yao pointed to the battlefield in the distance.
The yellow bird let out a sharp cry and swooped down to the front and below.
Soon, everyone could clearly see that two armies were fighting a bloody battle in a valley.
One side of the army raised flags with the character 'Wei' everywhere.
They were numerous and had the advantage of taking the initiative to attack, thus encircling the other side's forces.
The banners of the other army bore the character 'Shu'.
Their numbers were small, and they were in a passive and defensive position. The Wei army forced their troops to become more and more compact, and their troops were in great disarray.
"Father!"
Cheng Letian, looking anxious, had a very wide view from his high vantage point.
So she soon saw her father.
At this moment, her father, General Cheng, was covered in wounds and blood, looking like a blood-soaked man. He was wielding a lance, riding a warhorse, and bravely thrusting at the charging enemy soldiers.
However, there were simply too many Wei soldiers.
Large numbers of Wei soldiers kept rushing towards General Cheng.
It will probably not be long before General Cheng is exhausted and torn to pieces by these Wei soldiers.
"Father!"
Seeing that her father was in dire straits, Cheng Letian immediately became anxious and grabbed Li Yao's arm, saying anxiously, "Master, please save my father!"
"Your father is your responsibility to save yourself!"
Li Yao said calmly.
"ah?"
Cheng Letian was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and jumped down without hesitation.
"Hehe, this girl has quite a personality!"
