Return to the mansion.
Zhong Yan thought over and over the whole thing and the plan for the next seven days.
As long as the news is reliable, there will be no problem.
As for Qin Ben, in addition to the three previous labels of being 'bold and careful, foresighted, and capable of martial arts', he has a new understanding - he is very ambitious and has a strong backing.
Three subordinate mages died in a row. How could the capital city not notice that there was a problem?
But Qin Ben still dared to do this, which shows that he can handle the follow-up work well.
However, the power struggle has nothing to do with Zhong Yan. He only acted as a thug once, so don't worry about it.
As for the situation becoming uncontrollable, leading to the betrayal of abandoning the car to protect the commander...
Zhong Yan shook his head and thought: That's fine. With this relationship, my foundation in Qingyang City will be stronger.
immediately.
Zhong Yan began to make preparations to refine the more lethal 'violent talisman' and 'rain sword talisman'.
An all-nighter.
Early in the morning, he went out again and found the sergeant with whom he usually made friends. He asked for two sets of crossbows and modified them himself to increase their power.
Three days flew by.
There were still four days left before the planned time. Zhong Yan solemnly made arrangements with his wife and concubines at home, left the city in advance and rushed to the agreed place.
…
That night.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
There are puddles on the road after the rain, and sparkling waves suddenly appear.
coming!
Mudd!
Zhong Yan, who was wearing night clothes and hiding his face in the grass on the roadside, frowned and cursed in his heart.
To cause such a commotion, there must be more than one monk and six sergeants accompanying him!
He tensed up and glanced across, secretly thinking that he could only act according to the situation and run away decisively if something went wrong.
Not long after.
The sound of horse hooves came.
At a glance, a whole twenty cavalry were rushing toward them.
Opposite him, Bai Siyuan's eyelids were also twitching wildly. Before hesitating, the group of people had already arrived.
boom!
The ground exploded.
Yang Yanqing used his Earth Escape Technique to rise from the ground to the sky. He used his flying sword to grab the middle-aged monk in robes who was leading him. He glanced around and shouted, "There is also a seventh level of Qi Refining!"
Bai Siyuan gritted his teeth and took a step slower to control the flying sword to strike at the seventh-level Qi Refining monk.
"Ms. Ganlin, you can't even get the news accurately, but you still intercepted and killed someone!" Zhong Yan held his breath and concentrated, holding his troops still, feeling annoyed in his heart, and his impression of Qin Ben changed drastically.
According to the plan, Yang Yanqing faced off against the retinue mage who was at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining. Bai Siyuan planned to attack at the critical moment. He was responsible for the six body-forging realm soldiers and followers, and then looked out for any changes.
Now, after a moment of panic, a group of well-trained soldiers quickly formed a formation, used shields to resist the aftermath of the elemental force, set up bows and crossbows, and fired out arrows.
The middle-aged monk at the head reacted in time and blocked Yang Yanqing's key blow. The two of them jumped into each other and fought neck and neck.
Bai Siyuan on the other side, although the condensed shield blocked the arrow, he quickly fell behind due to interference. The moment the shield broke and condensed, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
Form 1 is stable.
The middle-aged monk laughed loudly, using his flying sword to attack quickly and fiercely, throwing out a talisman from time to time, and never forgetting to speak.
"Two undercover rats are waiting for you!"
"City Lord Qin is here, why don't you come out and see him?"
"Hey, thief Qin Ben, you don't dare to show up despite your destiny."
"Wait until I kill these two evil thieves, and then I will overthrow your city lord's mansion!"
"What nonsense!" Yang Yanqing snorted coldly, shook his hand and threw a disc magic weapon. It spun in the air and shot down balls of fireballs, smashing into the pile of soldiers.
Suddenly there was a burst of screams, the military formation broke open, and the soldiers scattered in all directions.
Bai Siyuan acted according to the opportunity, throwing out a diamond talisman to protect him almost at the same time, and then dived into the crowd with his sword. Wherever he passed, the long sword chopped off heads.
Obviously, the two have had many experiences working together and they work together perfectly.
At the same time, Zhong Yan, whose body was covered with 'light body charms', jumped up.
Holding a powerful crossbow in his left hand, he fired six arrows at the seventh level of Qi Refining, which was pursuing Bai Siyuan but was blocked by the diamond talisman.
A bunch of 'Explosion Talisman' hit the middle-aged monk in his right hand.
Boom~Boom~Boom~
Originally, a first-level high-grade talisman could not cause much harm to the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining.
However, the 'Explosive Talisman' was so powerful and numerous, coupled with the sudden appearance of Zhong Yan, that the middle-aged monk who had the upper hand because Yang Yanqing was distracted to activate an extra magic weapon was startled, and he immediately withdrew his attack and retreated. toward the ground.
"How brave! Just the fourth level of Qi training..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound, and bursts of mist surged from the ground. The middle-aged monk moved slowly and looked around in panic.
Even Yang Yanqing was stunned for a moment. He caught a glimpse of the formation flag in Zhong Yan's hand. He held the sword with both hands and slashed it with the force of a mountain, and laughed at the same time: "Well done!"
A knife cuts a man in half.
The seventh-level Qi Refining monk was frightened, his face changed drastically, and he turned around and ran away.
"Where to go!"
Yang Yanqing waved his hand and controlled the disc magic weapon. In an instant, he went over and rained down balls of fire. The seventh-level monk rushed in like a man seeking death and became a man of fire, screaming loudly.
Zhong Yan raised his crossbow and shot his head directly.
On the other side, Bai Siyuan also killed the last soldier.
Suddenly, there was silence in the venue, and the whole process lasted only about a quarter of the incense stick.
The three of them looked at each other and threw out several fresh corpses from the storage bags. They were bandits who were originally locked up in Qingyang City Prison.
Clean the battlefield, deal with traces, and move smoothly.
"Walk!"
The three of them rushed to the top of the mountain and ran towards Yangquanfang City.
"Friend Zhong Dao, how did you come up with the idea of coming over in advance to build a formation?"
"Yeah, thanks to that formation, otherwise it would be really difficult to end it. Even if it succeeds in the end, the three of us will probably suffer a lot of injuries!"
"I was extra careful just in case. It was a coincidence that he happened to fall into that position."
But even if that moment failed, Zhong Yan still had the back-up plan to force him over.
Of course, the two people beside him cooperated well enough, otherwise he would not have taken action easily, or directly escaped with the Earth Escape Talisman.
Yang Yanqing and Bai Siyuan looked at each other, recalling Li Henian's words of high praise for Zhong Yan in their minds.
They all looked up to Zhong Yan, who knew how to make talismans and formations, and was also thoughtful and cautious. The first time they cooperated, they all cooperated just right. It was perfect.
Yang Yanqing: "Zhong Daoyou has contributed a lot this time, and the proceeds will be shared equally!"
It was previously agreed that Yang would have 50%, Bai 40%, and Zhong Zhan 10%.
Zhong Yan smiled and noticed that he was still pale at this moment. He couldn't help but glance at the storage bag on his waist and confirmed that the disc was a third-level magic weapon, which consumed a lot of vitality.
The three of them drifted away and soon disappeared into the night.
However, what they didn't know was that there was an old man with white hair squatting in the grass twenty feet away from the original battlefield, watching the whole process.
…
…
An hour ago.
The main palace of Qingyang City.
Qin Ben was practicing calligraphy in the study, and Zhang Shun walked in quickly.
"Things have changed. I just received news that a seventh-level Qi Refining monk from Wangcheng City has gathered with twelve soldiers to accompany him."
"oh."
Qin Ben raised his eyelids, kept writing in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm really on guard. It seems I'm going to bleed heavily this time."
Zhang Shun immediately understood that the city lord had a backup plan and there was no need to worry about the interception failing.
The iron painting has a silver hook, and the four words "Dream Qingyang" on the paper are majestic.
Qin Ben put down his brush, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The cultivation level is indeed low. I hope it won't be too serious. It's not easy to find a suitable partner."
