"My subordinates have been searching Chuixue City for several days, searching almost the entire Huangshan area except Liehuo City, but found nothing. I am very ashamed." Xu Qingshu answered skillfully.
"I don't blame you. I've found seven of them. It's already a great achievement in front of the Ice Envoy. Don't worry about the remaining three..." Ji Qing turned her back to Xu Qingshu, shook her wine glass, and suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, do you know a person named Yuan Hongxue?"
"You mean, the current Lord of the Fire City?" Xu Qingshu was not involved in this matter, but he had heard about it, so it was very natural to say it.
She herself was wondering why the thunder suddenly disappeared overnight?
"I mean before, I heard that an old man named Yuan Hongxue came to your female cavalry camp in white a few days ago. He sat down and said, don't stand, my little Qingqing." Ji Qing held two glasses of red wine and turned around charmingly. said.
"That's right." Xu Qingshu knew that Chui Xuecheng's affairs could not be hidden from the woman in front of him, but the matter did not have much or even nothing to do with her, so she could answer truthfully without any scruples: "Senior Cavalry There was indeed a man named Yuan Hongxue who came to the camp. He came on the recommendation of the city gatekeeper. When he came, he brought a little boy with him. At first, he thought he was just a worker doing odd jobs, but the night of the sneak attack in Liehuo City..."
Then, Xu Qingshu recounted the events of the night of the sneak attack on Liehuo City one by one, even including the shooting of Ning Huiyan. She was completely unaware of the inside story about Yuan Hongxue, so she did not need to go to great lengths to conceal any details. .
While tasting the red wine, Ji Qing listened to Xu Qingshu's narration with a smile. At the end, she said lightly: "I asked the handyman at the city gate and the riding camp to recall and draw a portrait. I also asked Yuan Hongxue from the Liehuo City informant. The portraits are almost identical, my sister thought, they are actually the same person."
"City Lord, I don't know..." Xu Qingshu stood up quickly. She knew that this was Ji Qing's real purpose of looking for her today, but she knew nothing. Although he was shocked and doubtful, he could still remain calm.
"Sit down...sit down. Sister knows this is your reaction. She will never doubt my little Qingqing no matter how suspicious she is." Ji Qing giggled. The soft and delicate bodies rose and fell one after another, pulling Xu Qingshu and whispering: "Master Bingshi personally intervened, and there was nothing my sister could do, but I had already found out that the little boy also met Yuan Hongxue on the way. The origin of this person is unknown, I deliberately lurked in your female cavalry camp for an unknown purpose. It may have something to do with the sneak attack that day. Anyway, it’s over now.”
"Thank you City Lord for your trust!" Xu Qingshu had never been able to see through the woman in front of him, and he didn't know whether what she said was true or false, so he could only thank her according to normal logic.
"They are all my sisters, don't talk about this... Let me tell you personally, do you think Ning Huiyan is the handsome guy who went out just now? What does he look like..." Ji Qing laughed unbridledly.
Behind the laughter, the "corpse" in the circle house flickered in Ji Qing's mind, but logically, it couldn't be the same person, because it was completely self-contradictory, and Yuan Hongxue could not help. The person who killed him in Fuxue City, this hateful old man, who jumped out of the cracks in the stone?
*****
One day later, outside Fuxue City.
"Have you heard?" A lame woman approached a man with a broken arm and said mysteriously.
"What did you hear? I said you can't live in peace. Save your energy and don't starve to death!" Sanfazi said dissatisfiedly. This woman smelled bad and it annoyed him when she got close to her.
The lame woman looked around. Not only did he not walk away, but he came closer and said, "Sanfazi, you still don't know, I heard that the city owner of Liehuo City has changed!"
"Hey, I'm talking about Mei Gui, can it be replaced by the city lord? What does it have to do with you being a cripple? Go, go, get away as far as you want, don't bother me!" Sanfazi scolded angrily.
These days, he has been in a bad mood, not because of anything else, but because of Uncle Youcai. Ever since Uncle Youcai was kidnapped by people from Chuixue City, Mr. Yuan's deal was ruined. It was a big deal. The sale and purchase of food is closely related to life.
The lame woman spat and cursed, "You idiot, why did a dog bite Lu Dongbin? You don't know a good heart. I'm here to show you the way."
Sanfazi didn't even raise his eyelids, lying motionless like a corpse. Over the past few days, he had already honed his skills. He could stay still for a day if he ate some food. If he moved too much, he would get hungry faster. .
However, the lame woman did not give up and leaned into Sanfazi's ear and whispered: "Sanfazi, do you know who the city lord just changed is? You must listen carefully. The surname is Yuan, Yuan Hongxue, Mr. Yuan..."
In fact, her information was wrong. The city lord of Fiery City should be Cao Zhengyi, but now the name Yuan Hongxue is widely spread outside, and many people have gotten it wrong.
"Go away! What city lord, what old Mr. Yuan, don't disturb me in my sleep..." Sanfazi was halfway through his grumbling, when he suddenly jumped up, grabbed the lame woman's collar, and opened his eyes wide. He shouted like a barrage: "Is it Mr. Yuan? The Mr. Yuan who has been here before? The one with the child?"
When the lame woman saw that Sanfa Zi had "taken the bait", she immediately picked up the shelf, coughed twice, and in the blink of an eye she looked indifferent.
"I'm talking about Meigui, aunt, ancestor, are you talking?" Sanfazi turned around faster than he could turn the book. He also found that his heart began to contract.
"I'm hungry and don't have the strength to speak." The lame woman said weakly on purpose.
"Okay, okay, isn't it just food? It's just a little bit. Here it is, give it all to you. Come on, tell me!" Sanfazi got angry and took out a piece of black food hidden in the innermost part of his clothes. He came out, handed it to the lame woman, and said distressedly.
"That's pretty much it!" The lame woman took the food and held it in her hand like gold. She broke it off and ate it bit by bit, as if she was afraid of finishing it all in one go. She continued to say vaguely: "I'll tell you, three shots." Son, you are going to be lucky this time! I heard someone said that the old man named Yuan is the one who calls the shots in Fiery City now. After hearing this name, I asked about it carefully, and it was the same as the one we met. It’s really not that much different, I think you should go find him quickly, maybe he will miss you a little bit and something will leak out from the gap between his teeth, which will be enough for you to live for half a year!"
Just as Sanfazi was about to ask something more, he heard Brother Kui hurried over with a group of people snoring. When he saw Sanfazi, he whispered: "Sanfazi. Come with me quickly, the Fire City is here." This is so generous, the same stone, twice the food reward. I don’t know if there is anyone left because I’m late. Hurry up, don’t wait around, hurry up and leave!”
*****
Two days later, in Fuxue City. A low and simple wooden house.
"I have called everyone here secretly today. I want to hear everyone's opinions on whether to leave or stay." The woman sitting at the head said slowly, with her hair tied up and her face slightly swollen, which was obviously caused by a long-term lack of food.
"Sister Jiang, you just have to decide, we will listen to you." A young man biting a branch said casually.
"Those of us, Skywalker, are okay. There is a stable food ration, and those science and engineering students can more or less get some. But we, most of whom are liberal arts students, have no rations and can only starve. One of them starved to death in the past two days! In the past two days, I have been thinking that even if we Skywalkers give them all the food, it is not enough. Now the people of Agni City have promised to give them double portions of food. So... " Jiang Qianqin suddenly found that Qin Qiying seemed to be a little distracted and didn't know what he was thinking about. His heart skipped a beat and he changed the subject and asked:
"Major Qin. What do you think?"
Qin Qiying reacted very quickly. She hummed first, regained her composure, and said with a serious face: "Since Miss Jiang has gathered everyone here and made it clear about this matter, I will also tell you another thing. .The doctor has news!”
"Is there any news about the doctor?" Jiang Qianqin was stunned for a moment, then said happily.
Since the last sneak attack in Agni City, the doctor disappeared, and there has been no news. Many people thought he was dead.
"A high-level informant from Agni City specifically found me and sent me a handwritten letter from the doctor. In the letter, he said that he and Major Du had established a firm foothold in Agni City, and that slavery in Agni City had already Abolish it, let us find a way to "smuggle" out, and the sooner we can get to the Fire City, the better." Qin Qiying nodded.
"Can I read the letter?" Jiang Qianqin thought for a moment and said cautiously. She had been puzzled by the disappearance of Major Du, Chu Yunsheng, and the doctor had never revealed anything about it.
"Burn it. You know, if this thing is found out, it can easily be executed as a traitor." Qin Qiying shook his head.
"Do you think it is credible?" Jiang Qianqin frowned and added: "I don't mean the doctor, I mean, could someone pretend to be the doctor, or the doctor was forced to write it in some way? this letter?"
"I have thought about it for a long time and feel that this possibility is very small. We are not great people. There is no need for such a big Fire City to go through so much trouble for us, even senior informants." Qin Qiying He pursed his lips and said.
"Well, in that case, it's decided! This kind of thing can't be delayed, otherwise things will change. Let's leave tonight. Let's all inform the students separately. If something happens, run away immediately. Don't get caught!" Jiang Qianqin He ordered in a low voice.
"Well, the doctor said that experts have been arranged to pick us up inside and outside the city. I will be responsible for contacting the informant later." Qin Qiying added.
At this time, someone suddenly stood up and said: "No, you can leave, but I can't! Tan Ning is still locked up in the central barrier, I can't leave her alone!"
"Granny, squat down! It's not your turn to make the decision in this matter. What's the use of staying here alone? Can you rescue people?" Master Zhuo grabbed him and said in a clear voice.
"I don't care, anyway, I can't leave her and run away! Brother Zhuo, Sister Jiang, I know you are doing it for everyone's good, but I just can't leave, I..." Gazi broke away from Mr. Zhuo's hand and said firmly.
"You!" Mr. Zhuo said angrily in a low voice.
"Forget it, Xiao Zhuo, let him stay here. Even if we kidnap him, he will come back." Jiang Qianqin sighed and comforted Mr. Zhuo.
"Take action"……
****
Three days later, exit from the northeast entrance of the Huangshan area.
A group of men and women in ragged clothes walked into the mist-filled mountainous area. Perhaps they were exhausted from running, or perhaps they were driven by hunger. There were only about thirty people left in the team. As soon as they got in, they staggered one by one. He fell to the ground, gasping for air.
On their swollen and sallow faces, they didn't know whether they felt lucky to have just escaped the pursuit of a group of monsters, or they felt complete despair about whether they would live or die in the future.
When they were still in shock, a group of majestic women in white surrounded them one after another. The refugees screamed and huddled together in panic, their faces turned pale with fear, and they cried incoherently: We have no food, we have no food. Food, don't eat us, don't eat us! …
What confused them was that before these women in white could make a move against them, another group of fully armed men in red came rolling in from a distance. The leading man held a torch high and said in a loud voice: "Flowing Snow City's Ladies, listen, Mr. Yuan of my family said that as long as you are willing to surrender and submit, not only will the food supply be doubled, but also the skills will be given as gifts. This is a sure-fire deal, so think clearly!"
"Sisters, don't be fooled. None of the beasts in Agni City are good, they are all liars. Everyone is ready to fight!" The leader of the woman in white frowned and shouted loudly.
The big man in red was furious when he heard this, and said: "You ignorant bitches! Brothers, listen up, Mr. Yuan has said that if you capture the Skywalker who blows the snow city alive, his military merit will be one level, and the dead one will be considered half level!" Now the great achievement is right in front of you, let me do it!"
A fierce battle broke out in an instant. The battle between ice and fire almost flattened a small hill and was littered with corpses.
Within half an hour, the Skywalkers from the Fire City who had practiced the first-level skills gradually gained the upper hand...
****
Chuixuecheng, central barrier.
A woman with an extremely perfect appearance stood in the room coldly. Opposite her, the city lord Ji Qing changed her usual charming and charming look and said solemnly and solemnly: "...Big Ice Envoy, if this happens again, Go down, within seven days, Chuixue City will be empty of people!..."
