On July 11, there was more fireworks than usual at Jianmen Pass, the entrance to Jiannan Road.
A group of nearly a hundred Yanyang soldiers, all covered in armor, passed by. All the defenders of Jianmen Pass came out to greet them. Qin Mo, as the defender of Jianmen Pass, could only stand in second place at this time, with Ma Xiaowei, who had worked with him before. Standing together, the two generals took the lead.
The one with a heroic face was naturally the young general who had just arrived in Rongcheng and was stationed in Jiannan, and the other one was Li Yanhe. The two had completely opposite attitudes towards the team of 100 people.
The young general seemed extremely proud. He hammered his breastplate with his hand to show respect for some figures in the team who nodded to him. Even when the leader of the team passed through Jianmen Pass at the beginning, this man The young general swept away his early morning fatigue and stood solemnly.
But Li Yanhe looked at these Yanyang soldiers with some doubts. The aura exuded by these people was not comparable to that of the guards here. They were all good soldiers, but they did not have the kind of chilling aura that they had experienced on the battlefield. ..More like a charlatan?
Behind the two generals, Qin Mo watched their different performances and secretly recalled the conversation between the young general and Captain Ma next to him after the goat dam. It seemed that the southern Xinjiang was not going to be peaceful. Ah... The city guards at Jianmen Pass waited until all the hundred people had entered the pass before following them into the pass. Just as several Jiannan generals led by Li Yanhe and the young general were preparing to return to the Chinese army's camp, from A person walked quickly from the crowd behind.
Qin Mo looked sideways and saw that it was the young general's confidant. He had the impression in his heart that he was called a smile.
"Nine generals, everything has been arranged," Qian said with a smile and clasped his fists.
"That's good. Then take my transfer order and follow the generals on this trip," the general with the ninth surname said in response.
"Yes!" Qian Dexiao finished speaking and then stepped back. Li Yanhe saw this in his eyes, just sighed and made no other moves.
...At this time, at the Tiandi Alliance station, various sects were undergoing renovations under Ming Xi's arrangement, and only the sects from central Guizhou and Shannan were sent to arrange disciples to investigate the traces of the Tue Evil Sect.
The horses of Lin Manliu and Ning Ke had stayed at the racecourse on the west side when they arrived at the station before, and had not been affected by the bandits' intrusion.
The young man in a short shirt took the two horses and handed Ning Ke's horse's reins to her. The two nodded to each other, got on their horses and prepared to bypass the Tiandi Alliance station and head towards Yuezhou.
"Let's go!" Lin Manliu patted the neck of Xiao Huang who was sitting next to him, and took the first step towards the entrance of the station.
"Brother Liu, why don't you ask me why I still want to go with you?" Ning Ke shouted from behind.
"Brother Ning naturally has his own thoughts, so why should I ask again?" The boy in a short shirt turned to look at Ning Ke with a smile.
Whether they were trapped together in the Sword-Forging Peak in the beginning, or now with the Tiandi Alliance, or in the future with Yuezhou, the young man understood that Ning Ke only wanted to retaliate for the rescue he had done when he was buried in the Sword Valley. If he loses all his love at some point, Ning Ke will never follow her again.
After the two rode out of the Tiandi Alliance station, they galloped on the mountain road. Behind the two people who were gradually receding, three people walked out of the entrance of the station. The leader was Mo Wuyan, who was wearing a purple robe and long sleeves. Behind him was Mo Wuyan. The two of them are actually the two worshipers of Zhujian Peak?
"Mr. Mo thinks that Li wants to force the two of them to stay at Zhujian Peak?" Li Junce said expressionlessly as he saw the two people walking away.
"You two must also know that there are disciples from Zhujian Peak in our Yi Jian Villa now..." Mo Wuyan asked indifferently, not paying attention to Li Junce's words.
As soon as these words came out, Li Junce's expression became strange. Originally, the news was only passed to his ears and could not be confirmed. Now that the leader of Yijian Villa said it himself, he could no longer lie.
"Ahem... That little kid named Liu sent a message for Mr. Mo yesterday, right?" Qiao Xiuchen said.
"Indeed, Zhuang Nai knew some secrets about the sword appreciation event last year, so he naturally paid attention to the movements of the four swords." Mo Wuyan raised a hand, his arm protruded from his big sleeves, and he twirled his fingers. Moving a white piece.
Li Junce watched the two singing in harmony, and was glad that he had not taken action rashly before, and continued to stop the two people. If he turned against the Yijian Villa, he would lose the chance to fight for the remaining two swords.
"But since your village knows the movements of the Four Swords, and there is a disciple of my sword-making peak in the village, and it is even more popular now, why don't you explore it on your own, and why do you tell us two?" Li Junce asked, making sure that this person did not use any deception. .
"I'm afraid Li Gongfeng has forgotten our identity as the owner of the village. The Lu and Si families are old friends. The owner of the village has no intention of concealing Zhujian Peak. Let's see what happens next." Mo Wuyan responded to dispel Li Junce's doubts.
The owner of Yijian Villa, Lu Fengbai, whose ancestor is Yanyang Army God Lu Xu, is from the same era as Si Xuan, the old mountain owner of Zhujian Peak. If the Lu family's private army was the strongest combat force in Yanyang back then, The weapon produced by the Sword-forging Peak is Yanyang's sharpest weapon. It has made a lot of contributions to Yanyang's gradual settlement in the Central Plains from a small country in the north, and later to its dominance in the north and south.
There are also rumors in the world that Lu Xu, Si Xuan and the emperor of the Xia family who dominated the world were once sworn brothers. However, half a century has passed and no one has confirmed the authenticity.
Later, the Lu family did not inherit the military merits of their ancestors, and their private soldiers became Yanyang's cavalry. Their fathers began to engage in business and were considered wealthy in the Jiangnan area. However, in Lu Fengbai's generation, one person used up all the family wealth to conquer Jiangnan. The Lu Mansion built the current Yijian Villa.
In Zhujian Peak, the old mountain master Si Xuan suddenly died suddenly after he finished forging four swords in the early years, leaving only his young heir to take over Zhujian Peak. Fortunately, his heirs were not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also in management. Zhu Jianfeng is a good hand in everything, and he is about to return Zhujian Peak to its former glory. However, unexpectedly, the sword appreciation incident last year had another incident... As a result, all four swords were stolen, the sword house was destroyed, and the mountain owner The fate of death.
"But if we want to stop the Evil Slaughter Sect or capture one of the Four Swords before it, we still have to rely on the full action of the Heaven and Earth Alliance." When the three of them were silent, Qiao Ruichen said unexpectedly.
"Of course I need to inform everyone of the Heaven and Earth Alliance about the news, but I will let you know it on your own. I hope you will think carefully about your future actions." The purple robes in front of the two worshipers at Zhujianfeng looked at Li Junce's position as they spoke. , obviously talking about Li Junce's attempt to force Lin Manliu and Ning Ke to stay.
"We will be working together from now on. Naturally, we will not disturb Guizhuang and Mr. Mo's arrangements any more," Li Junce could only say with a smile.
This statement was to show Yijian Villa that it would not embarrass Lin Manliu again in the future.
"That's good. There are still some important matters that need to be dealt with in the village, so I won't disturb you two anymore. Mo will go first." Mo Wuyan said goodbye.
"We won't bother Mr. Mo anymore." Qiao Ruichen bowed his hands. After Mo Wuyan nodded, he turned and walked towards the station. When Li Junce saw him turning around, he also waved his hands to say goodbye. He kept watching the purple robe disappear into the crowd, and then he lowered his hands.
"What did the little kid say to his second brother yesterday..." Li Junce gave up the idea of despising his second brother after the battle of the Heaven and Earth Alliance. He had always thought that his second brother was depressed, but he didn't If he pays more attention to the affairs within the sect, he can take charge of everything, become bigger and stronger, and can also suppress the Qiao family, but if something important happens, it seems that his second brother will have to take action.
"Southwest, about delivering the message, you go or I go," Qiao Ruichen said with a sigh, not sure whether it was because he was tired or because he disliked the stupidity of the third brother next to him.
"I'll just go. I don't have to trouble my second brother anymore. Jun Ce will do his best!" Li Junce said in response.
"Then I'll go back to the camp first. I'll talk to Na Mingxi and be careful on my own... I'm leaving." Qiao Ruichen said a few words and walked towards the camp.
Li Junce would still take his second brother's advice to heart. He turned around and looked at the direction in which the two of them were riding away, and thought about it again in his mind. The young man he saw was a man from Yijian Villa. He is a disciple who knows how to forge Jianfeng swords. He has an old relationship with the Jiang family in Yuezhou, and is familiar with Uncle Qiao who was buried in the Sword Valley. Now that he is protected by Mo Wuyan, he feels more and more that the young man is not simple... It can be imagined So what can I do with this? From now on, I will be working with that Yijian Villa, and I will no longer be able to control this person. Thinking of this, Li Junce shook his head helplessly and could only sigh, it was really a slow move and he lost the whole game.
At the east entrance of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, Li Junce stopped alone for a while, then turned and walked towards the center of the camp, but the direction he went was towards the Wenjian Lake camp.
Lin Manliu and Ning Ke, who had already gone far, naturally would not know about the conversation that took place at the entrance of the Tiandi Alliance.
When the two of them walked around the Tiandi Alliance station from the north, they saw the scorched black area where Yangfeng Valley was located. At this time, Yangfeng Valley, the entire valley and the mountains and forests outside the valley were filled with a dead air.
After yesterday's rain, it was difficult to wash away the tragic situation here. Under some charred branches, you can even see some broken limbs.
Who would have thought that a day ago, this place was peaceful and peaceful, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. Who could have thought of the source of the fire? In that valley, on the eve of the crisis, there was still the scenery of cherry blossoms blooming on the hillside.
All of this was reduced to nothing because of yesterday's siege and suppression, and will never exist again.
"Brother Ning, why do you think Ling Xun wanted to seek refuge with the Evil Slaughter Sect?" Lin Man asked with six royal horses in front, looking at the bleak scene in front of him.
"What the people in the world want is nothing more than magical weapons, secrets of martial arts, or authority in the world. What else can they ask for?" Ning Ke answered casually.
"But as we saw yesterday, they were able to die calmly... and would they ever want this?" Lin Manliu clenched the reins in his hands, pulled back and stopped Xiao Huang, and stopped at a burnt black spot. Before breaking branches.
"If you have to sacrifice your own life, then there is another way..."
"His life...".
"Um". Yangfenggu and the bandits in central Guizhou defected to the Tue Evil Sect one after another, and finally ended up being wiped out by various factions in the rivers and lakes. It is not difficult to see what they wanted.
During the battle in Yangfeng Valley, only Ling Xun and the leaders of several mountains in central Guizhou were praying for the safety of their disciples, subordinates, and families.
Where the Heaven and Earth Alliance is stationed, the bandits attack from behind and the Heaven and Earth Alliance stays behind. All they want is that the leader is safe and sound. But now Yangfeng Valley and the mountain bandits here are very different. The Heaven and Earth Alliance that took action also suffered a blow and had to be forced to repair here. The Evil Slaughter Sect behind the scenes created such a situation without even using a single soldier. .
