The end of autumn and the arrival of winter.
The cold in the north has become extremely rampant.
Many people on the street put on cotton-padded jackets and wrapped themselves tightly to resist the biting cold wind.
As soon as Yu Zhi and the others stepped into the northern border, the biting cold wind blew into their sleeves, lifting their robes and long hair.
"Lei Zongzong, rest here tonight. Early tomorrow morning, we will go to Qinggu." Yu Zhi said.
"Okay." Lei Xuan said.
In front of Yu Zhi, Lei Zhen didn't have any airs of a great practitioner.
After checking in at the inn, Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan left the inn.
Tianshui City, this is my hometown.
The city was once under the control of Wang Wufeng. After Wang Wufeng's death, the imperial court appointed a county governor.
After Xu Qing left the northern border, the original Tianshui City guard Zhong Ji was ordered to assist a Wuhou in the northern border to guard the northern border.
Yu Zhi settled in Tianshui City to first understand the current situation in the north.
As winter approaches, there are fewer people on the streets.
The people were also in a hurry and did not stay outside for long.
Yu Zhi knew that Shenyin Pavilion had hidden sentries in various cities in the north.
Yan Muyan was seriously injured and fell into coma, and Nie Feng disappeared.
Both of these two people have a pivotal position in Shiwandashan. If Shenyin Pavilion and Duandaomen were not in charge, those sects would often fight over petty fights.
Yu Zhi walked a few streets and walked into an alley.
Boom, boom, boom...boom.
Three short and one long.
The courtyard door opened and a young man walked out.
The young man looked at Yu Zhi and asked cautiously: "Who are you?"
"Yu Zhi." Yu Zhi said. "I want to know how the Shenyin Pavilion is doing now?"
Not everyone knew about Yan Muyan's serious injury, but the Anzi of Shenyin Pavilion had received an order to find and assassinate Li Haomiao.
Half an hour later, Yu Zhi walked out of the alley.
Ye Qinghuan looked at the gloomy Yu Zhi and asked, "What happened?"
"These secret agents don't know the situation in Shenyin Pavilion, but they have been looking for Uncle Li. This shows that there must be something happening in Shenyin Pavilion that cannot be solved by non-grandmasters." Yu Zhi continued.
"We set off overnight and arrived at Qinggu tonight. Since Shao Jian'an submitted an urgent memorial, he should know the situation of Shenyin Pavilion."
Yu Zhi whispered a few words into Ye Qinghuan's ear, and then he rode towards Qinggu alone.
Late at night, Yu Zhi finally felt Qinggu.
The Qinggu was equally depressed. A faint smell of blood filled the air of the Qinggu. The firelight flickered and the figures kept swaying.
What the hell happened?
Whoosh!
An arrow came towards Yu Zhi's face.
clang!
A clear sword light flashed, cutting off the arrow.
"Not a night ghost?" someone in the distance muttered.
"Who are you?"
Yu Zhi heard the sound and felt that he had heard this voice before, so he shouted: "Ye Chong?"
Ye Zhong stared at the young man on the horse and saw Yu Zhi's face clearly under the flickering light of the fire.
"Are you... Yu Zhi?"
At the beginning of the year, Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan made a big fuss in Qinggu, causing the Ye family to lose face and the Shaowu Hou Mansion to lose face.
To this day, there are still legends about Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan in Qinggu.
The night when Ye Qinghuan broke through, he gained the admiration of the young men in Qinggu.
Yu Zhi stepped forward and asked Ye Zhong, "What happened in Qinggu?"
After Ye Zhong saw Yu Zhi, he breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "A few days ago, the night ghosts attacked Qinggu. Qinggu was unable to respond and suffered heavy losses. Now Shaowuhou has organized manpower to prepare day and night. .”
"Just before you arrived, Qinggu suffered another attack. Marquis Shao Wu fought with it and was injured."
Yu Zhi was slightly surprised. Shao Jian'an was a strong man among the Eight Opening Monuments, and his strength was not bad either.
Ye Gui can actually injure Shao Jian'an, and his strength may have reached the ninth level of Kaibei.
"Let's go in and take a look." Yu Zhi said.
After the last turmoil, the Ye family plummeted.
But there is still Ye Zhong, and the Ye family's prestige is not as good as before, but they still survive in Qinggu.
In Qinggu, many people were carrying corpses, including human beings and night ghosts.
A great war is bound to kill people.
Qinggu was guarded by soldiers and horses from the imperial court, but it also became like this.
"Not only Qinggu, but also some sects in Shiwanda Mountain have been wiped out by night ghosts." Ye Zhong couldn't hide his heavy heart as he spoke.
Yu Zhi and Ye Zhong went straight to Shaowu Hou Mansion.
There was blood at the corner of Shao Jian'an's mouth, and his blood was surging. In the battle just now, if he hadn't won by luck, he might have died on the spot.
When he saw Yu Zhi again, Shao Jian'an no longer had the arrogance he once had.
Yu Zhi suddenly became the Zuo Deputy Chief of Staff, and was appreciated by the Emperor of Chu. His future achievements will only be higher than that of Shao Jian'an.
Pieces of information from Nanzhou Prefecture were also spread to the three northern prefectures.
Shao Jian'an just regretted why he went against Yu Zhi in the first place.
Shao Jian'an endured the pain in his body, stood up and said, "I have met Mr. Yu."
Yu Zhi said calmly: "It doesn't have to be like this. Your Majesty received your memorial and sent me here. The prince is still on the way and will arrive soon."
Shao Jianan breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation in Qinggu and Shiwandashan changed too quickly.
First, Night Ghost appeared, then Yan Muyan was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Nie Feng disappeared, and now Qinggu was attacked, it was only a few days ago.
Shao Jian'an told Yu Zhi what happened these days.
After Yu Zhi pondered for a moment, he said: "One thing is strange. No matter how weak the sects destroyed by night ghosts are, they are stronger than the defenders of some cities. If night ghosts are just for massacre, why don't they just occupy the city directly?"
"The purpose of Night Ghost is to invade the human world. Wouldn't it be better to use the city as a stronghold? What's the point of destroying the whole family?"
Shao Jian'an also had the same doubts. "At first, I went to those sects that were wiped out. There were only the corpses of those disciples, but there were no corpses of any night ghosts."
Yu Zhi was stunned and asked: "Since there is no body of Ye Gui, how do you conclude that these sects were wiped out by Ye Gui?"
"Blood."
"Blood?"
"Yes. There is the blood of night ghosts. I will never forget that stench in my life. Killing a sect, but not even one night ghost was lost. It is really strange. There is no way that the night ghosts are still theirs. Take the body away?"
Yu Zhi listened to Shao Jian'an's description and said, "What if the murderer is not a night ghost?"
Shao Jian'an never thought about this possibility.
Qinggu was attacked and killed by night ghosts, and there are traces of night ghosts everywhere in the northern border.
Shao Jian'an naturally thought of Ye Gui Miemen.
"It's impossible. Even though those sects are the lowest in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, if you want to wipe them all out quietly without leaving a trace, even Shenyin Pavilion can't do it."
Yu Zhi did not refute Shao Jian'an.
Shao Jian'an has been in Qinggu for many years and knows more about various sects than Yu Zhi. And it's not unreasonable for him to say this.
"How is the situation in Cangshan recently?" Yu Zhi suddenly asked.
Shao Jian'an thought for a moment in confusion. "Do you doubt Cangshan?"
Immediately, Shao Jian'an said immediately: "Cangshan is still closed, the barrier is still intact, and there is no sign of entry or exit."
"What's going on with Yan Muyan and Nie Feng?"
"Not long ago, Shenyin Pavilion summoned Yan Muyan, who was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Nie Feng from Duandaomen also disappeared. Before that, they had been investigating the night ghost's annihilation of the family. I guess he was attacked by the night ghost. .”
Yu Zhi shook his head, not thinking that things were that simple.
Yan Yi said that Yan Muyan and Nie Feng went to Cangshan Mountain to investigate.
But when Yu Zhi got news from the north again, it was Yan Muyan who was seriously injured and fell into coma.
It was only a month before and after, what happened in this month.
Nie Feng is not a strong master, but he is as famous as Cang Biere. He breaks the sword in his hand and looks at the world. Who can make Nie Feng disappear?
Yu Zhi looked at Shao Jian'an and said with rare solemnity: "Shao Wuhou, I leave Qinggu to you. His Highness the Crown Prince will come to Qinggu to take charge soon."
There are still many people in Qinggu who need to be protected by Shao Jian'an and others. But Yu Zhi had more important things to do.
Yu Zhi did not stop at Qinggu and rushed directly towards Shenyin Pavilion.
Traveling at night, especially in today's 100,000 mountains, is an extremely dangerous thing.
People in troubled times, whether human or ghost, like to show up and do dirty things.
What you need to be wary of is people, and those night ghosts.
Yan Muyan's serious injury and coma was still a secret, only a few people knew about it.
A few hours later, it was already dawn, and Yu Zhi also saw the peak of Shenyin Pavilion.
Yu Zhi now urgently wants to know the situation of Shenyin Pavilion.
But what Yu didn't know was that the closer he got to Shenyin Pavilion, the more dangerous it would be.
Whoosh!
A black shadow sprang out from the mountain forest and pounced on Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi stepped on the horse's back and jumped up. Then he flashed around in the air and kicked towards the black shadow.
The hard touch shook Yu Zhi away, and the black shadow flew into the forest.
What the hell?
Yu Zhi circulated his true energy, his eyes full of wind, constantly looking for traces of the black shadow.
A foul smell spread into Yu Zhi's nose.
"Yegui!" Yu Zhi immediately knew the identity of the other party.
But what happened next moment made Yu Zhi's eyes widen.
Black shadows walked out of the forest on both sides of the mountain road, and the black mist shrouded them, like black catkins fluttering on their bodies.
"Is it really disgusting?" Yu Zhi said.
Yu Zhi took out the pear blossom sword, the sound of the sword's chant echoed, and a clear sword light flickered.
Facing these night ghosts, Yu Zhi did not hesitate and drew his sword and rushed towards them.
Buzz!
The wind and snow suddenly started, and thunder suddenly appeared.
Yu Zhi turned into a stream of light and shuttled among the night ghosts. Each sword light could kill a night ghost.
What kind of copper skin and iron bones, what kind of sharp teeth and claws.
The century-old sword forged in Jianlu is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
"Shadow among the flowers, dizzy!"
Yu Zhi's figure disappeared among the night ghosts, and only the sword light flickered in the night ghosts.
Listen to the sound of the sword like the gentle sound of a deep spring.
In one breath, countless groups of night ghosts were killed under the light of swords.
When Yu Zhi appeared again, all the night ghosts around him fell down and lost their breath.
Only a stronger stench was left in the air.
Over a cup of tea, the mountains and forests were filled with corpses of night ghosts.
Countless, no need to count.
Just like night ghosts killing people, the more, the better.
Just after Yu Zhi was about to leave, there was a sound behind him.
"Seeking death!" Yu Zhi turned his head slightly, a black shadow flashed across the corner of his eye, and the sword light surged at the same time and flew out of the sword.
But when Yu Zhi saw the dark shadow behind him clearly, his expression changed and he hurriedly withdrew his sword light.
"why you?"
"S: Please give me a recommendation vote! If you don't give it, you won't get it for free..."
