Northern City of Qingzhou
Below the city walls, a group of over thirty barbarian cavalrymen pointed at the city gate, laughing mockingly.
To the steppe barbarians, the soldiers of the Central Plains were weak and cowardly, afraid to leave the safety of their city when faced with them.
On the city walls, three hundred soldiers stood at the ready. Twenty archers had their longbows fully drawn, prepared to shoot at the barbarian riders lingering outside the city.
“Captain Lu, the King of Qi has arrived.”
At the center of the city gate, a tall, seven-foot, black-faced man clad in scale armor was watching the barbarians warily.
This was Lu Fei, the Captain of Qingzhou, responsible for leading the troops.
“The King of Qi?” Lu Fei’s voice boomed like thunder. “What’s he doing here? He’s just going to cause trouble.”
Turning around, he spotted Xiao Ming ascending the city tower.
The barbarian cavalry outside noticed Xiao Ming’s luxurious attire and immediately caused a stir—this was clearly an important figure.
One of the barbarians pulled his reins, drew his bow, and loosed an arrow at Xiao Ming.
