After Jiang Yan and Lu Lu changed their clothes, they exchanged their money for a new yard.
As soon as they finished packing, Gu Kang came looking for it.
"Brother Jiang, didn't that courtyard just now suit your liking? Why did you change the courtyard?"
"Of course not." Jiang Yan invited Gu Kang to sit down and poured him a cup of tea. He explained, "I just killed a monster in that yard and the house was broken down, so..."
The main reason is that the smell of the mucus sprayed by the monster is so unpleasant that no one can stand it for a long time!
Um?
weird?
Gu Kang suddenly straightened up. He looked at Jiang Yan seriously and asked suspiciously, "Brother Jiang, are you... a warrior?"
"What? Doesn't it look like it?"
Jiang Yan took a sip of tea and smiled slightly. He raised his right palm, put his fingers together, and lightly drew towards the table. A trace of white thread flashed away.
Looking back at the tabletop, a deep scratch appeared.
"Inner...inner energy!"
Gu Kang tried his best to widen his eyes and open his mouth. He pointed at Jiang Yan and said, "You...you are actually a body refining realm warrior?"
He had limited knowledge. When he saw Jiang Yan using his inner energy, he only thought he was a body refining realm warrior.
Wow!
Gu Kang stood up suddenly, and the stool under his feet was knocked over by him, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
He bowed deeply to Jiang Yan and said loudly, "Junior Gu Kang, pay my respects to senior."
In the world of martial arts, those who master come first.
Gu Kang called Jiang Yan senior, which was not wrong.
Jiang Yan smiled and quickly asked Gu Kang to sit down again, "Brother Gu, there is no need to be so formal. Let's just call him the same as before."
"Uh...okay."
Gu Kang's face became a little more serious. He didn't dare to chat anymore, so he quickly said, "Brother Jiang, I just came back from Muramasa, and now there is new news coming, saying that the disaster in Guihua City has been over... …”
"Oh, really?"
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up. He stared at Gu Kang and asked, "Is this the news from the officials?"
"Um."
Gu Kang shook his head, "But this news came from the Commander-in-Chief."
The commander-in-chief?
That news is probably true!
"By the way, did the news from the Commander-in-Chief say anything else?" Jiang Yan asked again.
"Nothing else."
Gu Kang shook his head, "I just said that Guihua City is safe."
"Well, thank you very much." Jiang Yan handed over his hand.
"You're welcome." Gu Kang replied, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Jiang Yan got up and sent Gu Kang away, then returned to the small courtyard.
"Young Master..." Lu Lu walked over.
"Let's cook and have a night's rest. We'll return to Guihua City tomorrow!"
Jiang Yan said softly.
The next morning.
Jiang Yan bought a carriage from the village and took everyone away from Xiliu Village to Guihua City.
An hour later, they finally arrived at Guihua City.
"Well...it seems that this time, a big guy really came..."
"Fortunately, I ran fast!"
Wherever you look, sections of city walls have collapsed, and many of the runes on the city bricks have been dimmed and broken.
But inside Guihua City, it looked even more desolate.
On the broad street, there was no longer a crowded scene, only a few scattered people passing by in a hurry.
"How many people died this time?"
Jiang Yan stared at the buildings on both sides of the street. There must have been a fire here last night, but now, only the remains of charred ruins are left, with wisps of white smoke rising out.
Driving on the street, I would occasionally hear heartbreaking cries.
He stopped talking and his expression gradually became calm.
Finally, after turning a few intersections, Jiang Yan and his party returned to Yangliu Lane.
…
Ningchang Street.
In a relatively spacious building, Jiang Yan saw Lu Lu hugging a middle-aged man and woman tightly and crying loudly, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
Let's give her a holiday today.
After walking out of Ningchang Street, Jiang Yan turned around and walked towards Lunan Street.
…
Zhenwutang.
"Jiang Yan, it's unfortunate that you're here. Hall Master Ning is not in the hall right now."
I just walked into Zhenwu Hall and happened to bump into Fu Mao.
"not here?"
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that such a big thing happened in Guihua City. As the deputy head of the Zhenwu Hall, Ning Gongdao should have more things to deal with.
"Brother Fu, do you have time? I have something to ask..."
"Hahaha, of course there is time." Fu Mao smiled and pointed to the pavilion in the garden next to it, where there were stone tables and benches, "Let's go there and talk."
"Okay." Jiang Yan responded, and the two walked under the pavilion.
"Brother Jiang, do you want to ask about what happened yesterday?" Fu Mao took the initiative as they sat down.
Jiang Yan nodded slightly. He really wanted to know more detailed information here.
"Ahem..." Fu Mao's face darkened, and he whispered, "Brother Jiang, regarding the spear and the subsequent battle, our level is not high enough, and there is no very specific news coming from the hall."
"I only know that the jade spear was a magic weapon, and the strong man who fought with it later was a strong man in the Dan realm."
Demon soldiers? Dan realm warrior?
Jiang Yan naturally has an impression of the jade spear that caused the tragedy in Guihua City, but Dan Realm warriors...
He should have been in Yue Xiaoxuan's carriage at that time, and did not see the scene of the Dan realm warriors fighting the demon soldiers.
call! !
Fu Mao sighed, "In short, after this battle, half of the population of our Guihua City was killed or injured. I heard that the magistrate of the government, Mr. Cheng, was also unfortunately killed and became a sacrifice..."
half?
Jiang Yan raised his eyes fiercely, showing a look of disbelief.
Jiang Yan didn't know the exact number of people in Guihua City, but according to his estimate, there were at least 100,000 people in Guihua City.
No less than 50,000 people died in just one demonic soldier blood sacrifice?
hiss! Suddenly, Jiang Yan suddenly felt a cold chill coming over his heart.
He fell completely silent.
Seeing this, Fu Mao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Jiang Yan, please be patient. At least we survived, right?"
"Every year in the dynasty, cities were destroyed. Guihua City was so lucky. If it hadn't been for the mysterious Dan Realm expert, only 10% of the people who could escape this time would have been at most... "
Jiang Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. After a while, he suddenly remembered a question and asked quickly, "Brother Fu, our gang didn't suffer much loss this time, right?"
"Well…"
At this time, Fu Mao's eyelids twitched fiercely. He approached Jiang Yan and whispered, "I heard that the two hall masters from the Foreign Affairs Hall and the Internal Affairs Hall were drinking together, and they disappeared all of a sudden.
In addition, the remaining warriors and low-level disciples also suffered many casualties. "
Finally, he concluded, "Under the overthrow of the nest, there are still intact eggs. Our Dahe Gang has been severely damaged this time!"
"Does the gang plan to recuperate next?" After a while, Jiang Yan licked his dry lips and asked again.
"Recuperate?" Fu Mao slowly shook his head and whispered, "This time Guihua City was half destroyed and everything was in ruins. Our Dahe Gang was also seriously injured and its power was greatly reduced. The gang is eager to regain its strength. How is this possible? Recuperate and recuperate?”
"Today, news has been sent from the main hall. In a few days, all efforts will be made to wipe out the water bandits and completely stabilize the Lishui River trade route."
"As long as we can stabilize the Lishui River trade route, our Dahe Gang will be very stable. No matter how much we suffer, we can slowly recover."
