Late at night, there is wind but no moon.
A figure floated down from the top of Xian'an City silently, without alerting the Chang Guo defenders at the top of Xian'an City Wall, and was not noticed by the Zheng Guo sergeants who were surrounded outside the city.
The figures fell on the open space under the city where the two armies clashed during the day. On the ground, thousands of corpses were still lying on the cold ground. Some of these corpses belonged to the Changguo cavalry, but most of them were Zhengguo's sergeants.
Because the crossbowmen on both sides were always on alert, as long as someone from the other side broke into the middle area, they would be shot. Therefore, neither Chang State nor Zheng State moved the corpses, and the corpses were still exposed there.
The figure floating down from the top of Xian'an City was the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi with dual identities of Jade Bone Mountain and Dark Alliance. After he landed, he took out a round bead the size of an goose egg. The bead was pitch black, so dark that Heart palpitations.
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi held the bead with one hand and muttered something. Then, from the corpses lying on the ground, groups of human-shaped white mist slowly rose up. Their shapes and appearances were exactly the same as the corpses. These white mist were clearly The souls of the war dead have not yet completely dispersed.
These souls were all unexplained, and they were lured by the middle-aged man in green clothes in strange ways. They closed their eyes tightly and approached the middle-aged man. As soon as they got close to the middle-aged man, they were sucked into them by the dark beads.
After the soul was sucked into the dark bead, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of horror and pain on his face. His hands desperately groped around inside the bead, trying to find a way out, but in vain. The soul was sucked into the bead. Can't come out anymore.
In just a moment, thousands of souls were completely sucked into the beads, and the beads were filled with densely packed desperate souls.
"This little dead soul is not enough. We need to make them kill more fiercely!" The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi murmured to himself, with a cruel smile on his lips.
…
Xian'an City was besieged by Zheng's army outside the city, but there was no panic inside the city. The people in the city were eating and drinking as they should, and life was still going on normally.
In the face of the war, the city of Xian'an was so stable, which was also attributed to Gao Liansheng. Gao Liansheng had anticipated this at the beginning of the war, and had stored enough food and grass for the people of Xian'an City to feed their horses for a month in advance. He also repeatedly promoted that Changguo's reinforcements were on the way, which calmed the people's hearts.
At the same time, in yesterday's battle, Situ Lei led a thousand cavalry to fight in and out of the Zheng army, which greatly boosted the morale of the Xian'an City defenders and gave the residents of Xian'an City a reassurance. It was believed that it was only a matter of time before the Zheng army was defeated.
At this time, a heated conversation was taking place in the city lord's palace. The two parties involved in the dialogue were Gao Liansheng, the lord of Xian'an City, and the other, who was wearing green clothes and had a thin figure. He had a scar that looked like an earthworm on his chin, and a diamond-shaped piece of bone that looked like white jade was tied around his waist. He was the jade bone. The deputy lord of the mountain is Chen Shu.
However, what Gao Liansheng and Jade Bone Mountain didn't know was that Chen Shu also had another identity, that is, the three-star secret envoy of the Dark Alliance.
"Chen Shanzhu, I hope you can give me an explanation for what happened yesterday? Why did you watch our soldiers trapped in the enemy's formation without coming to rescue? If it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the black-faced man who attracted three Jingfeng Beast, I'm afraid none of our thousand soldiers can come back!" Gao Liansheng's face was very ugly.
"City Lord Gao, I have already told you that our Jade Bone Mountain only promises not to allow people from the Fire Lotus Valley to enter Xian'an City. We will not care about other things. This is the agreement between our Jade Bone Mountain and the royal family of your country." Chen Shu responded calmly, staring at the steaming tea cup in front of him.
"Hmph, the monks from Fire Lotus Valley helped Zheng Guo attack the city gate of Xian'an City, and even killed our soldiers outside the city, but you people from Jade Bone Mountain stood aside and watched with cold eyes? It was you, Jade Bone Mountain, who were dedicated to promoting the war, and watched with cold eyes. It's your Jade Bone Mountain that's the most important. The conflict between your Jade Bone Mountain and the Fire Lotus Valley is a matter between your Yuanxiu sect, so why involve our Chang and Zheng states in it?" Gao Liansheng's tone was full of gunpowder.
"City Lord Gao, please pay attention to your words. Was it our Yugushan who instigated the war between Changguo and Zhengguo? Previously, when we, Jade Bone Mountain and Fire Lotus Valley, did not participate in secular disputes, we did not see you friends of Changguo and Zhengguo. Neighbors are harmonious, don't you guys have fights every once in a while? How come the fight gets a little bigger and you have to put the responsibility on our Jade Bone Mountain?" Chen Shu was still not in a hurry. His tone was gentle, his eyes not leaving the tea cup in front of him.
Gao Liansheng was so angry that he turned livid and said angrily: "If you Jade Bone Mountain hadn't pulled out more than ten outposts of Zheng State overnight, Zheng Guo would have attacked Xian'an City so recklessly, and even Fire Lotus Valley had joined in. ?”
Chen Shu finally moved his eyes away from the tea cup. He raised his head and looked directly at Gao Liansheng, and said slowly: "City Lord Gao, you must provide evidence when you speak. If you are still slandering our Jade Bone Mountain without any basis, then I will have to Go to the royal family of your country and ask for an explanation!"
"Hmph!" Gao Liansheng snorted coldly, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the distant mountains without saying a word, and no longer paying attention to Chen Shu. His intention to see off the guests was very obvious.
"City Lord Gao, you and I are just following orders. You don't have to have such a big prejudice against me. We should cooperate sincerely so that we can repel the Zheng army and defeat the Fire Lotus Valley. Yesterday, we attracted three Jingfeng Beasts That person has probably entered Xian'an City, and City Lord Gao is also asked to send more manpower to look for him. This person's origin is unknown, and if his details are not found out, he will be a big hidden danger." Chen Shu also stood up.
"There is no need to remind Shanzhu Chen about this matter. As soon as there is news, I will send someone to inform Shanzhu. I will not send it!" Gao Liansheng did not look back.
Chen Shu looked at Gao Liansheng's back with a strange smile on his face, and then slowly left the city lord's mansion with his hands behind his back.
…
Lin Yang looked at the wooden house by the forest from a distance. He recalled that more than half a year ago, he was chased by Jade Bone Mountain Yuanxiu Ji Chengkang and hid in the Fang family in Xian'an City. He successfully used the Fire Lotus Valley Yuanxiu Chenggong to contain Ji Chengkang. , but he fainted on the street due to exhaustion from his injuries. Situ Lei rescued him and brought him to the wooden house here to heal his injuries.
"Is it Brother Lin Yang?" Lin Yang had just walked to the door of the wooden house when he heard a voice coming from inside the wooden house. It was Situ Lei.
Lin Yang pushed the door open and saw Situ Lei struggling to sit up from the bed.
"Brother Situ, don't act rashly, it's important to recover!" Lin Yang helped Situ Lei lie down and said with a smile: "I still remember that when we parted last time, I was lying on this bed. Who would have thought that when we meet again, I will be lying on this bed." The person on the bed became Brother Situ."
"Haha,..." Situ Lei laughed, but accidentally caused the injury and started coughing repeatedly.
"Brother Lin Yang, why did you look like that yesterday? If I hadn't remembered your voice, I would have thought I was hallucinating?" Situ Lei finished coughing and asked slowly.
"That's because I took a pill called Yi Rong Dan, which can change my shape and appearance in a short period of time." Lin Yang responded with a smile.
"Disguise Pill? Tsk tsk, Yuan Xiu's stuff is really extraordinary." Situ Lei clicked his tongue in surprise, and then asked: "Brother Lin Yang, what's going on with those three Yuan beasts? Why are they chasing you?"
Lin Yang couldn't explain it to Situ Lei for a while, so he could only say: "I accidentally disturbed them on the way back. I guess I disturbed their drowsiness. These three beasts were very vindictive and chased me all the way. If not When you and Zheng Guo are at war, I don’t know when I can get rid of them.”
"Brother Lin Yang, the power of these Yuan beasts is too terrifying. You'd better be careful in the future and don't provoke these beasts again." Situ Lei was obviously worried about the power of the Jingfeng Beast.
Three Jingfeng Beasts almost influenced a war. For a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, it must be very shocking.
"By the way, Brother Lin Yang, why are you back? Have you learned the real skills? Isn't this nonsense! Brother Lin Yang can escape from those three terrifying yuan beasts, so he must have learned the real skills. Yes!" Situ Lei asked and answered himself.
Lin Yang smiled and said: "Of course I have learned some skills, but I am only scratching the surface. I came back this time because I took the sect on a mission that happened to be in Changguo, so I took this opportunity to come back and have a look. Later. Time has to go back to the Danxia sect."
"That's good, that's good!" Situ Lei breathed a sigh of relief, his expression as if a stone had fallen from his heart.
Lin Yang naturally knew why Situ Lei had such an expression. Situ Lei was worried that Lin Yang would be kicked out by the Danxia sect. After all, in his memory, Lin Yang only had one bright vein and had low Yuanxiu qualifications.
In fact, Situ Lei wanted to ask Lin Yang if he would go to the Lin family, but when he thought that it was his family's housework after all, he had better not ask too much and swallowed his words again.
"Brother Situ, why did Zheng Guo attack Xian'an City on such a large scale this time?" Lin Yang expressed the question in his heart. In his impression, Zheng Guo and Chang Guo had always been at odds with each other, but they were often just minor frictions. Even in the largest conflict, the two sides would not invest more than a thousand troops. But now, there are at least 100,000 troops stationed outside Xian'an City, with a posture of uprooting Xian'an City.
Situ Lei let out a long sigh and said: "Not long ago, more than a dozen outposts on the border between Zheng State and our Chang State were all uprooted overnight. None of the soldiers in the outposts survived. Zheng State could not swallow this breath and immediately recruited The army declared war on our country, resulting in the current situation of troops surrounding Xian'an City. Originally, I guessed that Yugushan was behind this, because Yugushan had been inciting the royal family to go to war against Zheng Guo, but the royal family had never made up its mind. . When I saw Yuan Xiu from Jade Bone Mountain and Fire Lotus Valley appear on the battlefield yesterday, I was convinced that it was Yu Gushan who pulled out the Zheng Guo post. They have the strength and motivation."
"Jade Bone Mountain has never participated in secular disputes. Why is it now trying to encourage Chang Guo and Zheng Guo to go to war?" Lin Yang frowned. He felt that there must be something fishy.
Situ Lei shook his head, and then said: "I heard City Lord Gao say that after Jade Bone Mountain added a new deputy mountain lord, Yugu Mountain became keen on promoting the war between Chang Guo and Zheng Guo. Yes. Moreover, the deputy sect master of Jade Bone Mountain whom City Lord Gao mentioned came to Xian'an City not long ago, and I have seen him from a distance."
"Oh!" Lin Yang speculated that the problem might lie with the newly appointed deputy sect master of Jade Bone Mountain.
"Brother Situ, since Jade Bone Mountain and Fire Lotus Valley have ended, you should be more careful in the subsequent battles and try to avoid these Yuan Xiu!" Lin Yang was really worried for Situ Lei, but he knew that With Situ Lei's temperament, he would avoid fighting as long as he went to the battlefield. Yesterday outside Xian'an City, even when facing the powerful Yuanji Realm Yuan Xiu from Fire Lotus Valley, Situ Lei launched a charge that was close to suicide without hesitation.
Situ Lei nodded and said: "Brother Lin Yang, you don't have to worry. Look at my appearance now. How can I participate in the war?"
"Brother Situ, I give you these three fruits. Don't eat them all at once. The medicine is too powerful and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. Eat each fruit in three parts." Lin Yang handed it over. Situ Lei's three fruits turned out to be Jin Fengti.
Jin Fengti was a priceless treasure to Yuan Xiu, but Lin Yang gave three to Situ Lei without even blinking. Lin Yang had considered giving Situ Lei three Golden Fengti. With his own physique, after eating six Golden Fengti, there would be no effect if he took any more. Situ Lei estimated that just three more would be enough. .
When Situ Lei looked at the golden fengti, which was as big as a broad bean and had yellow and thin skin, he knew that this thing was extraordinary. He repeatedly declined and said: "Brother Lin Yang, this thing is too valuable, I can't have it. I am just an ordinary person. If you give me such a precious thing, wouldn't it be wasted in vain? You can keep it for yourself!"
After saying that, Situ Lei pushed Lin Yang's hand holding Jin Fengti back and refused to accept it.
"Brother Situ, they are just a few ordinary fruits. They are not valuable. Just take them with peace of mind. Moreover, you saved my life. Even the most precious treasure is worth my life? What's more, this The three fruits are no longer useful to me." Lin Yang handed Jin Fengti over again. He deliberately said that Jin Fengti was an ordinary fruit in order not to put too much psychological pressure on Situ Lei. If Situ Lei knew that Jin Fengti was a treasure that even Yuan Xiu would be jealous of, Situ Lei would definitely kill him and not take it.
"Brother Lin Yang, I saved you, and you saved me yesterday. Neither of us owes anything to the other. You still keep these three fruits. I know that Yuan Xiu cultivation costs a lot of money. Even if you If you don't need these three fruits, you can also use them to exchange for other needed things or yuan stones." Situ Lei still declined.
"Brother Situ, if you accept these three fruits, I will treat you as a brother and elder brother. If you don't accept them, we will change our names now. You will still call me Lin Yang, and I will still call you General Situ! "
After saying that, Lin Yang handed Jin Fengti to Situ Lei again.
"What's going on? Why are you so impatient! Isn't it just three fruits! I dare to invade Zheng's 100,000-strong army, but I don't dare to accept three fruits from you?" Situ Lei glared and grabbed a handful of fruits. He took away the three golden wind coins.
