"Where are you sending me? Can I leave?"
Murong Xiu Ming, who woke up from the pain during the tug, looked at the familiar black face, which no longer had the same momentum as the previous two days, and asked extremely weakly.
Xiong San's face was extremely solemn, and he kept looking towards the south gate, with no intention of paying attention to him. However, Murong Xiu Ming suddenly started struggling, and after attracting his attention, he quickly stopped and said, "Send me out of the city right now. The resources of my Murong family are no less than those of a city lord's palace. As long as you send me out, I will absolutely guarantee your safety."
What Murong Xiu Ming said in panic struck a chord in Xiong San's heart. His eyes signaled his subordinates to be nicer to Murong Xiu Ming. He looked at his confidants and asked, "Isn't the military advisor back yet?"
The look on his confidant's face was even more solemn than his, and he whispered: "Boss, what should we do? The Guards keep pushing, maybe Yanfufang can't hold it now."
Xiong San glared at his confidants fiercely, then looked back at his men who wanted to escort him away. He saw that they were all looking over with panic on their faces, and he suddenly understood in his heart that at this time, everyone was worried about their own lives.
He sighed softly: "We can only take it one step at a time. Let's get this guy to the City Lord's Mansion first."
This small group of people quickly headed towards the city lord's palace, and Xiong San sent his confidants to look for traces of Ge Shan along the way. In his heart, the reason why he was able to reach his current position was not only his own intelligence and Apart from the courage to act, the rest is all due to Geshan.
But when he looked at the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion that became increasingly clear in his sight, and looked a bit like a wilderness and ruins, the absurd and lonely feeling reached beyond his body and mind, and he immediately felt a sense of unhappiness.
He worked hard to climb to a high position, and now it seemed that his ambition was more than half realized. However, he was harshly awakened by reality, and realized that this was just a dream - Suzaku City seemed to be about to change its dynasty.
"What are you thinking about?"
A calm voice suddenly sounded beside Xiong San.
Xiong San was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in excitement. Whenever Ge Shan rode his horse and rushed to his side, he didn't react. This shows how much psychological impact he was suffering now, so he opened his mouth and wanted to He wanted to shout out affectionately, but in the end he took a few steps forward, just like when he first established a relationship with Ge Shan, and took the initiative to take Ge Shan's reins, trying to lead him to the side.
The City Lord's Mansion was just over a dozen feet away. Ge Shangao was sitting on a horse, looking at Murong Xiu Ming who was thrown across the horse and seemed to die at any moment. He frowned at Xiong San and said, "Murong Xiu Ming is related to the City Lord's plan. He is now You can’t die, you must live well, do you understand?”
Xiong San was taught a lesson, and his face was as comfortable as before. He gave the order with a smile on his face. He took Ge Shan's horse rein and stopped at a secluded alley. He no longer cared about whether it was appropriate or not and asked. : "Master Military Advisor, there are so many masters in Hidden Valley, what should we do?"
Ge Shan looked towards the City Lord's Mansion, and Xiong San followed suit. He was slightly dazed but still anxious and said: "We have long known that the City Lord wants to use the large formation below to do things, but the key is that such an formation can deal with it. Are there so many masters in Hidden Valley?”
"Besides, those masters in Hidden Valley are not stupid. Doesn't this mean they are being led into a trap?" Xiong San pointed at the team that was escorting Murong Xiu Ming.
Ge Shan had been dealing with various parties these days, and his face could not hide his fatigue. At this moment, he frowned slightly when he heard what Xiong San said. ?Do they have a choice? Even if I tell you, I still don’t understand."
"Hehe... According to Xiong Laosan, he is a rough man, as long as he can understand what the military counselor means." Xiong San smiled, subconsciously touched the horse's mane, raised his head and quietly observed Geshan's face and asked: " Sir, I, Xiong Laosan, have always believed that he will always be a member of the Guards, and have always been proud of the fighting prowess of his brothers, but...but since even the commander can only retreat again and again, we really Is this all we can do?"
Geshan's eyebrows moved slightly, he leaned down slightly and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid of death? Haven't you always wanted to make achievements?"
Xiong San nodded quickly and said: "Every man wants to build a meritorious career, but that is because he can enjoy blessings after making contributions. But looking at the situation now, I, Xiong Laosan, am afraid that I will not enjoy the blessings, so I have committed my life here. After all, I heard that those in Hidden Valley prefer to kill the general first when they are assassins.”
It was only at this time that Ge Shan noticed that although Xiong San's armor was now neatly thick and thick, the color was old. He had obviously changed into a military uniform with his subordinate.
Geshan returned to the city lord's palace and saw that the Nether Flame Array had not been activated. In fact, he had been reviewing his previous speculations. Now that Xiong San, who seemed to be a fool but was actually a ghost, was here to adjust the atmosphere, Geshan suddenly remembered A very serious question - Bai Hao knew that the people below were unstable, but like a general sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, he only felt that he had a chance to win.
Ge Shan actually knew very well that even now, he had only barely gained Bai Hao's trust. If an ambitious person like Bai Hao could remain calm and composed in the midst of chaos at this moment, he probably really felt that everything was safe?
But this is just as Xiong San said. The masters in Hidden Valley are not stupid. On the contrary, they are well-informed and with his help, they may be ready to destroy Bai Hao's plan that he has worked hard to prepare for months. So what will Bai Hao do? Was he really completely blinded, or did he not care about these things at all?
Xiong San raised his face and saw a somewhat thoughtful look on Ge Shan's face, so he didn't say anything to disturb him. Knowing that Ge Shan's eyebrows were frowning more and more tightly, and even after he moved a little on the horse, Xiong San could no longer hold back. With anxiety in his heart, he asked: "Commander, sir, our marshal, there are hundreds of thousands of troops nearby. I, Xiong Laosan, can't do anything else, but as long as you give the order, I will definitely take the lead in the charge."
"Is it right to take the lead in running away?" Ge Shan's face returned to calmness. The conversation between the two on the roadside lasted only half a stick of incense. The team escorting Murong Xiuming had just entered the depths of the city lord's palace.
Xiong San lowered his head and laughed dryly for a while, but the next moment he raised his head with a serious face and said: "If the military advisor takes the lead, it's not that I don't dare, but where are we going now?"
In fact, Xiong San had long thought about surrendering to Hidden Valley, but firstly, he didn’t know anyone there, and secondly, he still had to bear some karma for Murong Xiu Ming’s current situation. Thinking of this, he really didn’t feel like it. Paying too much attention, I just regret that I am not like those people flying around in the sky, a real master who can change the situation on his own.
After being disturbed by Xiong San, Ge Shan suddenly began to doubt his own stable arrangements. How could he really point out the way forward for Xiong San in a few words? His eyes fixed on Xiong San's face, Xiong San pursed his lips. , responded to his inspection with a loyal look.
Finally, Geshan said with a slightly condensed tone: "Pay attention to a movement. When the large formation at the City Lord's Mansion is activated, you can see the flames rising into the sky. Then start retreating to the surroundings to avoid being affected."
"That's it?" Xiong San spoke quickly, and suddenly realized who was in front of him, and was about to explain a few words, but Ge Shan nodded with a serious look and said: "That's it, if you don't want to be, you won't know until you die. You have become cannon fodder for other people's cultivation. Go ahead and do it now. This matter cannot cause panic yet. You can only let your confidants lead some people."
The confidants who followed Xiong San to the South Gate in the past have now become the generals in charge of thousands of people. This matter is not difficult, but Xiong San finally managed to get something useful, and when he saw Ge Shan's solemn face, He picked up his belt and rushed back into the tent.
He ran away for a few steps, slapped his head suddenly and ran back again, saying with a loyal face: "Commander, I think this big formation is overwhelming and turning the world upside down. In the end, both sides will suffer." , even our city lord's palace still can't win. Can you tell me more about it? Do you have any intention of becoming this city lord? If so, Xiong Laosan has worked hard to get one. The power of supporting the dragon."
Ge Shangao sat on the horse and looked directly at Xiong San's face. However, he saw that Xiong San changed his previous flattery and his face was full of determination. However, the flickering light in the depths of his eyes showed that this was actually Xiong San. A trial that felt like the time had come.
Such thoughts passed through Geshan's mind, and the lines on his face relaxed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Don't you always think that you are a member of the Guards? When the time comes, you can just do whatever Xing Fei does."
Xiong San's heart was pounding, and he almost couldn't restrain himself from raising his neck and roaring. He knew that this time he made the right bet. How could Commander Ge be satisfied with just being the number two man when his head was so useful?
That Commander Xing was born to be handsome and had no such ambitions. Wouldn't it be nice for me, Xiong Laosan, to be on an equal footing with him and become Commander Ge's right-hand man?
Having already confirmed this idea in his mind, Xiong San was so excited that he let out a loud roar, held the sword on his waist with his palms, and made a clanking sound from his general armor, and walked straight towards the road waiting for him. He left with his own soldiers. As he walked, he did not forget to express his loyalty and shouted: "Don't worry, Marshal, I will definitely do it!"
Geshan has now received Bai Hao's order to occupy the entire city's troops when Bai Hao did not show up.
At this time, he could be said to have temporarily reached the pinnacle of power in his life so far, but he stopped on the roadside on horseback and looked at the increasingly bright and golden sunlight, which rarely reappeared a bit like the past. The building complex of the City Lord's Mansion with its elegant style suddenly felt a chill running down my spine, and I murmured to myself, "Why are you still so quiet? What other preparations do you have?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
At the center of the underground formation in the City Lord's Mansion, Cao Jing stood at the intersection of shadow and skylight. Looking up, she could see the hole that was opened when the Nether Flame Formation erupted last time.
Bai Hao tilted his head slightly, a pair of tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and the two dark fires in his eye sockets suddenly shrank, and he smiled softly: "Someone is finally approaching. The smell is a bit strange. It is not an old acquaintance like Mu Qing."
Geshan looked away from the formation at his feet that had changed drastically overnight, and asked doubtfully: "It seems to be a retrograde formation. Are you not afraid that the Nether Flame Formation will be destroyed directly and the Blood Sacrifice Formation will die prematurely?"
The skylight pours down from this large hole with a diameter of one foot. When it falls on the bright red pattern on the ground, it twists and turns like a yellow gauze moving in the wind, and like it is made of yellow sand. of clear water.
Bai Hao stood completely in the light, with the fire in his eyes dancing, and said with a smile: "There is another person, it should be Qinglong and Baihu. As expected, these people are still too unhappy to be enslaved. Today you only need to take my place for me." Hold someone up."
As soon as Bai Hao finished speaking, not far away on the ground, a group of soldiers who had just put Murong Xiuming into an iron cage suddenly changed their expressions. A green thunderbolt suddenly appeared out of thin air and struck in their direction.
