"Why are you taking your time? I'm not taking you to the execution ground."
At the back gate of a courtyard on the upper reaches of the Qingxi River, Xing Fei's lieutenant Yan Qing quickly walked into the backyard with a doctor in one hand.
In the backyard corridor, other people came forward with serious faces, led by an older middle-aged man, who asked in a solemn voice: "How is the situation outside? I heard some noise, it seems to be on the other side of the Qingxi River."
The man who spoke was called Ge Shan, and his strength was actually slightly stronger than that of Yan Qing, the deputy general. But among the nine people headed by Xing Fei, his most outstanding ability was strategy, so when Ge Shan asked, Yan Qing had to endure it and sighed softly: "When I went out, I met those people in the city lord's palace. , as soon as they saw me, they asked where Brother Fei was, saying that the city lord had an order asking us to rush to Qingyun Street as soon as possible to support Mr. Xing."
As Xing Fei's subordinates, they usually refer to Xing Fei as their commander, and Xing Zuo's eldest brother, Xing Zuo, as their lord.
"There are nearly a thousand personal guards hidden in the old courtyard. The commander is not here. I expected that Lord Xing would be in charge of the formation. With Lord Xing's strength at the peak of the first rank, the power of the military formation should not be much less than that of the mid-extraordinary stage. Why? …”
Geshan's intention was still unfinished. He glanced at the trembling doctors on the side and immediately stepped forward and shot the two doctors to death.
"Hey——" A trace of guilt and helplessness flashed in Yan Qing's eyes,
Geshan said solemnly: "The location of this courtyard is very good. If what the commander does is known to the city lord, the outcome will be unpredictable, so we have to do this."
Yan Qing pursed her lips: "I asked them to treat my sister-in-law. Why kill her?"
"Aren't you insulting the commander's ability?" The man who made the move had a rude look on his face and winked at Yan Qing with a funny look on his face.
Yan Qing understood immediately and remembered that if he could escape this storm, he would definitely compensate the families of these two doctors.
Geshan did not look at the body lying limply on the ground, but said lightly: "Remember to dispose of the body cleanly. There are some things we should do for the commander."
Yan Qing looked at the closed room at the end of the corridor, with mixed feelings in his heart. He restrained his strange emotions, and his eyes fell on Ge Shan's face again, and said in a deep voice: "I asked the young general I met, in the city lord's palace. All those of rank six and above must rush to Qingyun Street for support, and the city lord wants us, Brother Fei, to lead the army."
Everyone took a breath when they heard this. Bai Hao has vigorously supported their personal guards over the years, but the advancement of cultivation has been affected by too many factors. They have nearly 2,000 personal guards, and those of sixth grade and above are not enough. There are six hundred people, and earlier, the old courtyard sent 300 people there.
"This is draining the wealth of our personal guards..."
Geshan looked at the brothers around him. Among the eight people standing together at this time, the lowest strength was at the fourth level, and he had been at the peak of the third level for many years. In the past, a lineup like theirs would have gone sideways wherever they went. Walk?
But in today's weird atmosphere, in this city that has long been full of chaos, Geshan's gray eyebrows raised upwards, his eyes flickered, his temples pounded, and the haze in his heart could not go away.
As a think tank around Xing Fei, he knew more about the inside story. At this time, he said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, Hou Yiyong came to me with the city lord's order. He hoped that I could cooperate with him to investigate the details of our own people. I was afraid that you would be in a bad mood and I never told you about this, but from that moment on, I knew that a big storm was coming."
"Damn it, the city lord is doubting our loyalty?"
Someone cursed, and seeing everyone looking over meaningfully, they were shocked to realize that what they did today was big or small. If the city lord really knew about it, then there would be no loyalty at all.
Ge Shan looked at the sky outside the eaves, and the thoughts in his mind changed a lot in an instant. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart that was difficult to describe to others, "I think the most likely one to make the city lord take it so seriously is Hidden Valley, right? Today, I don't think it's Hidden Valley. Besides Zhuyeqing, who else is the master in the city?"
Yan Qing shook his head, swallowed dryly and said, "They don't know who they are going to deal with, but..."
Ge Shan raised his brows, "When did this happen? What is Yan Qing struggling with?"
"They were really caught." Yan Qing coughed a few times, lowered her voice, and said with troubled eyes, "Should you tell Brother Fei about this?"
Ge Shan reacted the fastest, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times. Knowing that they were the women in the yard that Yan Qing mentioned, he hesitated for a moment.
Yan Qing had been thinking about this problem along the way. At this time, he simply threw out the frustration in his heart and let all the brothers share the difficulty, "I just have a question. If the city lord orders the commander to kill them, what will the commander do in the end?"
Others also reflected that who Yan Qing was talking about was scratching their heads for a while, unable to decide. In the end, Geshan shook his head with determination in his eyes and said: "With the commander's temperament and current mental state, I'm afraid..."
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded from behind everyone: "Go and save them."
"Brother Fei!"
"Commander?"
Xing Fei held his helmet in one hand and adjusted the light armor around his waist with the other. When he walked in front of everyone, his eyes passed over the two corpses on the ground and he didn't speak for a while.
The man who made the move said with a trembling face: "Commander, you...how are you so fast? The two people on the ground are Fen Xi's spies. We have cleaned them up, so you and your sister-in-law can rest assured!"
Xing Fei sighed in his heart, and realized that the woman in the room had regained the high spirits that a man should have. When she raised her eyes, she did not look at the brother who committed the murder, but aimed at Ge Shan.
Geshan pursed his lips at this moment, his face facing his inspection calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Xing Fei gently raised his feet and then lowered them. He looked into Ge Shan's deep eyes and said with a flash of vicissitudes on his face: "You have been discussing with me all these years whether soldiers should be loyal to power or to us. This land where we stand.”
Yan Qing and the others looked at each other, confused. They didn't know why Xing Zuo wanted to talk about something that had nothing to do with what happened today.
Only Geshan guessed it, and nodded with joy in his eyes: "I said, and I always hope that you can make the right choice."
Xing Fei nodded, lowered his eyes, sighed heavily under his nose, suddenly pointed a big hand, and changed the topic: "Since we want to protect the land under our feet, shouldn't we also protect the people on this land? ? They are just two doctors who can easily kill people. What is the difference between you and the powerful people you say you disdain?"
Ge Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xing Fei deeply, and after thinking carefully, he said: "We should be the ones working hard for this goal. In the process of achieving this goal, some people will die, such as Some of them, like me, will be swept into the dustbin of history, but before that, as a leader, you must not let any accidents happen."
"So, I can't die. Their death is actually a sacrifice." Xing Fei nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, he passed over the stunned people and strode straight in the direction where Yan Qing came from.
Looking at Xing Fei's tall and burly back, watching him put on his helmet as he walked towards the door, Yan Qing turned back to look at Ge Shan, then turned to Xing Fei, with a refreshing smile on his face and said: "I I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what you said, but Brother Fei’s approach is more to my liking.”
After saying that, he picked up the sword in his hand and chased after Xing Fei's back.
Ge Shan did not turn around to look at the expressions of the people around him, but he could guess that their eyes must have followed Xing Feiyue as he flew further and further away. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "What? The commander has left, why don't you hurry up and follow him!"
…
…
On Qingyun Street, Mu Qing and Zhuque had just finished talking and understanding, and they looked in a certain direction at the same time.
Across the river from Qingyun Street is Pingbu Street. At this time, amid the mist of smoke, dust and vapor, the first thing that appeared at both ends of Pingbu Street was the sound of uniform footsteps.
"Here we come..." The members of the White Tiger team, who had already suffered a lot in the military formation, all had solemn expressions on their faces, and Mu Qing straightened his body subconsciously.
Suzaku felt the tension of the people around him and smiled: "I think the suggestion I just made is the best, capture the thief first. Capture the king first. They have made such a big noise, how can Bai Hao still be a miniature tortoise?" ?”
Yin Er said softly: "The sea of fire heading towards the City Lord's Mansion cannot be hidden from people like Bai Hao. He may really be a tortoise."
"Then what should we do next? Should we just leave without any pain or itch?"
When Yin heard what Zhuque said, he was really moved. He glanced at Mu Qing, who was suddenly staring at the other side. He came to Zhuque and said seriously: "Sir, the cause of today's chaos is not clear yet. The bloody evil here is The aura is strong and it’s not appropriate to go on a killing spree, lest it affects you, why don’t we take the initiative to evacuate?”
"this……"
Zhuque knew about Xie Henhe's existence, so he looked at Mu Qing.
Her move was a bitter taste for everyone in the White Tiger Group. However, when they found that Mu Qing was still looking straight at the other side, they already noticed something was wrong. They followed Mu Qing's gaze and On the stone bridge connecting the two streets, I saw the crowds of people surging, and suddenly a few slender figures appeared.
"Who are they?" Yinyi asked looking at Mu Qing.
Suzaku had already seen Xie Henhe's figure among the group of women whose hands were tied behind their backs. He moved slightly and approached Mu Qing.
Mu Qing pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, his eyes flashing with the most dangerous light. He saw the women who were gradually pushed to the front row, Sister Yueshan, Wang Xiuwei, Ye Henhe, they were all Now, what about peony?
Mu Qing's eyebrows furrowed into a frown, and he didn't dare to think about it further.
"What is their relationship with you? I really want to see that woman Xie Henhe?"
Yin Yi asked again inexplicably, but here he felt a cold gaze, but it came from the red man next to Mu Qing.
This shocked Yin Yi. Could there be some arrangement that he didn't know about?
Is it a hidden clue sent by Lord Suzaku?
"Ho ho, ho ho..."
A burst of extremely dry and unpleasant laughter sounded like a ghost's cry at the end of Qingyun Street.
Suzaku cast his gaze coldly, and Xing Zuo, who was missing his arms and barely holding on to the broken military formation, was looking up to the sky and smiling, leading the military formation behind him to run towards the stone bridge.
His scarlet eyes had long since lost the resolute killing intent, and he could only feel the joy of not having to actually die until reinforcements arrived.
"Sure enough... the city lord will never abandon me."
Xing Zuo thought like this in his heart, and actually dragged the army formation, raising the overall speed to the early stage of extraordinary.
"Sir, we can't let this guy join them!" Yin Er suddenly reminded.
Suzaku lowered his jaw, and energy surged in his body. Yinyi and the others had even set their sights on Xing Zuo in advance, but were surprised to find that Suzaku was still beside them, and couldn't help but turn to look at her in cooperation.
Suzaku didn't speak. Just as he raised his chin to signal these garbage guys with abnormal spiritual senses to look forward, he heard a roar and a drop of water suddenly exploded on the river surface.
Amid the water splashing all over the sky, a slender figure rushed straight towards Xing Zuo.
