Lin Yan ran in front, and a group of monks headed by Kong Zhi and Kong Wen chased behind him. They crossed the border in a swaggering way, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of Xihuang.
The soldiers sent out to deliver the message rushed to the camp near Xifeng City and immediately passed the news to General He Lianxiong.
This man was a strong general stationed on the northern border. He was brave in combat and well-led in leading troops, so the emperor felt confident in using him to defend the Northern Desert.
After receiving the news, He Lianxiong looked confused. After all, this incident was so unusual, and what kind of signal was conveyed in it was even more intriguing!
He is the decision-maker here. Unlike the local chief executive who has the power to govern, he, as a military commander, can make his own judgment in emergencies.
The emperor gave him the arbitrary power of Gan Gang, which naturally also came with responsibilities. The battlefield situation is ever-changing, and fighter opportunities are fleeting, so everything depends on whether the leader can keep a clear head at all times and make the right decision!
He Lianxiong rubbed his temples with his hands, waved to the messenger and said:
"I understand the matter, you go down first!" The soldier lowered his head and said:
"Yes!" Then he retreated. He Lianxiong turned to look at the green-shirted scribe beside him and said:
"Brother Gong Liang, what do you think?" This scribe is called Gong Liang Ce, and he can be regarded as He Lianxiong's military advisor. The West Wind Army he has commanded over the years has been invincible, and a large part of it is due to this scribe.
Gong Liangce stroked his long beard gently, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he cupped his hands towards He Lianxiong and said:
"General, I think that the sudden entry of monks this time is indeed abnormal, but it does not necessarily mean that the Buddha Sect has any big moves against us." He Lianxiong asked:
"How do you say it?" Gong Liangce replied:
"General, there are three reasons for making such a judgment!"
"If the Buddha Sect wants to take action against us, it must be cautious. It will not make any noise before launching a surprise attack. Alarming the enemy will only make us wary and make it difficult to achieve success. This is one of the reasons!"
"Although the Buddhist Kingdom in the Northern Desert is a little barren, it is full of talented people and has countless great virtues and talents. If there is a big strategic move, it is impossible to send only such a few people. That would be too underestimated in the Western Wilderness. This is Second!"
"Also, although we and Beimo have been on guard over the years, there has never been a major conflict. This is also because both parties are unwilling to bear the huge losses caused by a full-scale conflict. And now there are no major interest disputes between the two parties. , it is impossible for the Buddha Sect to do such a thing that would harm both sides and allow people to gain for nothing, this is the third reason!"
"To sum up, I believe that the key point for the Buddhist sect to send people into the Western Wilderness is not themselves, but the strong man who entered our border one step ahead of them!" It must be said that Gong Liangce, as a military advisor, still has To a certain level, at least the original appearance of this matter has been restored to a close degree.
He Lianxiong pondered again and again, and felt that it made sense, and said:
"Brother Gong Liang, what do you think we should do?" Gong Liangce said:
"I think we can send people to keep an eye on these people who have entered the country. As long as they don't cause too much trouble, then leave them alone. As for the border..." He Lianxiong continued:
"A large army was sent to the border as a deterrent to prevent people from the Buddhist sect from entering the country. No matter what their plans are, in order to ensure the security of our country, they will not be allowed to enter! If they break in by force, they will have no choice but to use force!"
"In addition, we should immediately send people to find out the purpose of the Buddhist sect and let them wreak havoc in our territory. It will be really hard to sleep and eat well!" Gong Liangce heard this and said:
"The general is wise! Let's do it right now!" After saying that, Gong Liangce left the camp and went to give his orders.
He Lianxiong sat alone in the tent, crossed his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:
"Fo Zong, you are really arrogant!"... On the other side, after Lin Yan used his speed to the extreme, he finally got rid of the Buddha Zong's pursuers in a short time and entered Xifeng City.
Naturally, this could not be hidden from the spies of the Western Wasteland who had been paying attention to them, but Lin Yan had the guidance of Mr. Qiu. After entering the city, he went around and around, and directly stunned all the spies who were very familiar with this place, and then succeeded. Get rid of tracking.
Kongzhi and Kongwen arrived belatedly with a group of monks. Before they entered the city, they could already feel the many sights around them, both bright and dark.
A monk came forward and said:
"The two uncles, I guess they should be from the Western Wilderness Army!" Kong Zhi nodded and said:
"We just crossed the border without saying hello, which must have attracted their attention. We will calm down after entering the city later, and try not to conflict with the locals. After all, they are not the purpose of our coming, do you understand?" All the monks said in unison. Sheng responded:
"Yes, Uncle Master!" Then Kong Zhi and Kong Wen took the lead, and the monks entered the city in a mighty manner. The guards at the city gate did not stop them, obviously they had been greeted in advance.
It's just that the guards' eyes are still a little wary. After all, the Northern Desert Buddhist Country is a powerful and terrifying neighbor. These soldiers on the border feel even more profoundly.
After entering the city, Kong Zhi and others also received various looks from passers-by, including doubts, curiosity, vigilance... and so on.
The people in the city looked at them as if they were rare animals, which made people very uncomfortable.
This is also because it is rare for so many monks to appear at the border of the Western Wilderness at one time, and it is normal for people to be interested in them.
Kong Zhi frowned and said:
"Junior Brother Kongwen, you and I will each take half of the disciples and start searching from both sides." Once Lin Yan is found, he will immediately send a message to inform him that the other party will rush over as quickly as possible.
This time, we must capture him! Kong Wen nodded, and both parties led their disciples and left. The people who were originally watching them were divided into two groups. Now that they entered the city, surveillance became easier.
Although the arrival of the monks attracted a lot of attention, overall it did not cause much disturbance to the local residents.
The main reason why they are so restrained is due to the reasons in Xihuang. If you don't know how to restrain yourself when you go deep into another country, it is really a recipe for death!
On the other side, Lin Yan's time limit for borrowing Qiu Lao's power was up. When the huge power was withdrawn from his body, a strong feeling of weakness hit him, making him almost fall to the ground!
Frequently using power that is not his own puts a huge burden on his body! Now that the power has faded, the sequelae have become more obvious.
"Boy, I have to sleep for a while to regain my strength. After that, you can only rely on yourself! Be careful!" Qiu Lao's voice sounded in Lin Yan's sea of consciousness.
Lin Yan could feel that these high-intensity battles were taking a huge toll on Qiu Lao! Running all the way, there were many Xiantian realm experts among the pursuers.
Fighting against these people is a heavy burden in itself, not to mention that Lin Yan also forcibly killed a Bu Le from the Huanxi Sect. Although this guy has a bad style, his strength is not weak!
Now, I guess Bu Huan is also bringing people all over the world looking for him! After a trip to the Northern Desert, I didn't get any benefits, but I made a lot of enemies. Who can I ask to explain?
Lin Yan replied in the sea of consciousness:
"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu!" Mr. Qiu witnessed Lin Yan's growth and accompanied him from a young boy to a master of the acquired world. He experienced many things in the process, and they were all together.
Although they have to be separated for a short time now, Mr. Qiu is much more relieved about Lin Yan. The boy back then has grown up now!
As Qiu Lao fell into a deep sleep, Lin Yan was alone again. Moreover, his current strength has dropped greatly, and he cannot display his strength in the middle stage of the Houtian Realm in battle.
If we were to face Kong Zhi and others in the Xiantian realm, there would be no possibility of escape! Fortunately, Lin Yan was prepared and quickly changed into spare clothes. After putting on a disguise, he left the city looking like a traveling merchant.
Now there are two roads before him: one is to start from the Western Wilderness, pass through the Southern Barbarians, and enter the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
This route is relatively safe, as long as you are on guard against pursuing soldiers, and you face relatively few unknown dangers.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the distance is too far and the time it takes is too long! The other way is to go directly from Xihuang to Dongtang. Although this way is indeed shorter in a straight line, it is also more difficult!
As we all know, although most of the territory of the Yuan Realm is divided between the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Barbarians, the Western Wilderness and the Northern Desert, there are still many undeveloped places, some small countries and chaotic places.
If you go directly from the Western Wasteland to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, you have to pass through a vast wasteland. This is a chaotic area where wanted criminals, wanderers and some hidden masters from all over the world gather.
If you don't have strong skills and rich experience in the arena, once you get in here, you will be chewed away and no bones will be left!
Lin Yan thought about it again and again and decided to take the risk and take this road. Because his identity is exposed this time, the danger is not only for himself, but also very likely to implicate his family and friends.
Ming Ya and Li Zongsheng are protected by the academy, so they should be fine. But his relatives and friends in his village do not have this protection. Once the Xuantian Sect takes action against them, a tragedy will happen that will make Lin Yan regret his whole life!
Therefore, even if he takes great risks, Lin Yan must rush back as soon as possible, hoping that it is not too late!
Lin Yan disguised himself all the way and rushed on the road non-stop. Except when necessary, I didn't stay in the town at all, which still took a lot of time.
Fortunately, he didn't really cross the border. After entering the Western Wasteland from the Northern Desert, he went directly to the Eastern Tang Dynasty after traveling a short distance, so the actual distance was shorter.
On this day, Lin Yan finally arrived at the entrance to the wasteland. As far as the eye can see, the wasteland is gray and black, looking very dull and depressing.
After getting closer, Lin Yan lowered his head and found that the land under his feet was a little red. He knelt down and twisted a bunch of soil in his hands, frowning slightly because the redness of the soil was actually due to blood seeping into it.
And how much blood is needed to create this effect? In other words, how many people died here?
Lin Yan looked serious and thought to himself:
"Is this the wasteland? It's really...unusual!"
