Chapter 456 The Seven-Year Covenant (Part 2)
(This chapter has not been proofread yet, but you can read it again tomorrow afternoon!)
Mrs. Zhang took the few things she had left at home and hurriedly shuttled through the maple leaf forest with several neighboring households. It was already past dusk and almost dark! If it weren't for a guard in iron armor who was leading the front, she and a group of young and old would not have dared to move in the maple leaf forest.
She looked down at the boy in her arms. He was already over a year old, but he had not yet been weaned. He was still sleeping in her arms.
Howl!
A shrill wolf howl came from the depths of the maple forest, immediately waking up the baby in his arms.
Mrs. Zhang quickly picked up the baby upright and held it in her arms, patting his back with her palms. The woman had followed her husband to make a living in the maple leaf forest, so she naturally understood how powerful the maple leaf wolf was, and the baby's cry Shouting is especially easy to attract the covetousness of these ferocious beasts.
"Oh oh oh, be good, be good! My mother is here, don't be afraid, don't cry..." As she said this, she looked apologetically at the guard Tieyi who was leading the way.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, we arrived at Yinren's camp just ahead. It's not a big problem. Those Maple Leaf Wolves don't dare to get too close to Yinren Town." The man comforted him in a low voice, but even though he said that, he He had already taken out the Bailian Sword from his waist and was on guard.
Mrs. Zhang was naturally moved when she saw this. Since her husband was killed in battle, Yinren Town has always taken good care of their orphans and widowed mothers. They will send firewood, rice, oil and salt every once in a while, and they will also give some money after the harvest during festivals. She had just given birth and was unable to go out to make a living, so she relied on these subsidies to survive.
When the woman thinks of this, she looks at the baby in her arms and can't help but think: The longer this baby grows, the more he looks like you... Ah Diao!
…
Most of Yinren's able-bodied men gathered at the martial arts field in the north. Starting from dusk, there were sounds of fighting and the bursting of demon-breaking crossbows, which had only just calmed down.
Most of the Tieyi guards did not take action. Although their cultivation was higher than that of the strong men, they still had a more important task waiting for them to do, which was to cut the people of Yinren Town into pieces. Divided into hundreds of small groups and fled for their lives. Except for valuables and soft goods, I don’t want anything else, even if I come back after ten days and a half, it’s fine.
And Zhang's team is one of them.
Ji Shenfu finished counting the battle damage, and the results far exceeded his expectations. In fact, from the beginning, he discovered that these people were just strong men with the highest level of ability. The black-armored soldiers behind him were It is quite useful, but the group of warriors in the chivalrous realm he brought this time, or the warriors who are half-stepping into the chivalrous realm, are simply vulnerable.
But despite this, one person was still seriously injured and three others were slightly injured, which made the already irritable man even more depressed. He glanced at the people behind him and said calmly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you that the strength of the warriors in Yinren Town can be regarded as the strongest force in Luoye County. Put away all the superiority in your hearts and don't get your head chopped off." Don’t know it!”
After that, he flicked the reins of the horse from his hip and headed straight for the Presbyterian Church that he had not bitten before.
There were not many people in the large house of the Presbyterian Church with five entrances and five exits. There was no trace of anyone in the hall where the sand table was originally placed, and the sand table had also been scattered.
A man dressed in iron armor rushed in from the gate of the Presbyterian Church, passing through the first entrance hall, the courtyard, the second entrance hall, the courtyard, and then the third, fourth...
After he made many twists and turns, he finally entered the courtyard. The layout here was different from the previous ones. It was actually a forest of steles in the backyard. This almost erected a stone tablet with densely packed names engraved on it.
He walked a few steps in the forest of steles, then suddenly knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, the battle in the martial arts arena is over!"
In front of him, there were two people standing with their backs to him, it was Bai Yuan and Zhao Yunming!
Zhao Yunming was still dressed like a tall, thin middle-aged man. He turned to look at the slightly panicked man and asked slowly: "Is it over?"
Hearing this, the man who was holding back his tears suddenly couldn't hold back his tears. He trembled with his hands and said solemnly: "They are all dead, and no one surrendered!"
Zhao Yunming nodded and murmured: "With more than a dozen knight-level warriors and Ji Shen supporting them, it is a miracle that we can block them for more than an hour!"
He glanced at the man who was half-kneeling there and ordered slowly: "Follow the other iron guards and flee to hide in various places around you."
The guard Tieyi's expression changed, and he asked in a trembling voice: "No! Mr. Zhao, we want to go together! I, Niu Er, will protect you!"
Zhao Yunming looked at the upright and strong man in front of him, smiled and persuaded: "We stay here just to protect the people who escaped! Ji Shen helped Yinren not for others, but for us old guys !”
The man immediately understood the clues, and then continued: "No one can do what I, Niu Er, are sure of. Either you, my lord, come with me, or I will stay and die with you!"
Zhao Yunming frowned and was about to persuade him, but Bai Yuan beside him spoke.
"Do you still remember who those strong men who died in the martial arts arena were?"
Niu Er was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I have the life and death certificate they signed before setting off!"
Bai Yuan turned his head, looked at this sturdy man, and said with a smile: "If you have any doubts about staying, you can! Carve the names of these people on that stone tablet!"
Niu Er glanced at the huge stone tablet beside him. It was a huge wordless tablet, obviously enough for a man to do anything.
"Niu Er obeys!" After saying that, the strong man didn't waste any time. He took out the dagger from his waist and started carving directly under the stone tablet. Looking at the life and death figures he took out from his arms, this tough guy who dared to face life and death couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes.
Because he knows that every name on it is a living life!
…
Ji Shen helped his horse lead the way and walked through the streets. He ignored the people around him, but to his surprise, there was not a single pedestrian on the street.
His soul moved slightly and spread instantly. The next moment, his expression became extremely ugly, because he found that the nearby blocks were almost empty. The real purpose of the two elders of Luo Yunzong, Ji Shenfu, is to destroy the entire Yinren armed force. Whether they are masters like Li Chengtao and Li Chengqian, or scheming people like Lin Hengshan, Luo Yunzong cannot tolerate it. of.
The county magistrate waved his riding whip and walked straight to the Elder's Square in a familiar way. This was once the main venue for the martial arts competition. Yi Xifeng and others were the twelve masters of martial arts who were decided here last year, and the Presbyterian Church was on one side of the square.
Qin Kai and Batu followed closely behind, followed by Yuchi Yongjun, Geng Yu, Liu Dong, and Hu Qingzheng, a group of guards and cavalry generals, and behind them were a group of half-step warriors. Batu's son Batur is also among them.
The crowd rode all the way and arrived at the door in less than a cup of tea. Ji Shenfu didn't waste any time, and with a slash of the Jin Yuan sword in his hand, the entire door collapsed. A group of strong men in the chivalrous realm also walked into the Presbyterian Church.
Ji Shenfu had already determined the location of the enemy through his inner energy. Instead of searching each room one by one, they jumped up and landed on the eaves of the house. After a few ups and downs, they arrived at the last courtyard.
The county magistrate, dressed as a middle-aged scribe, looked at the forest of steles below and the white ape standing there looking at him. Neither of them made a move first.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be here too. I've admired him for a long time!" Ji Shenfu glanced at the tall, thin middle-aged man beside him and said lightly. After all, Zhao Yunming was engaged in a salary list organization and rarely appeared in public. His appearance was in the capacity of Shopkeeper Zhao, not Mr. Zhao.
"It's Mr. Ji, but you rarely come to our Presbyterian Church! You're welcome, sit down wherever you want, or are you interested in a certain monument? I'll have someone carve it for you!"
Ji Shenfu didn't get angry at the irony in Zhao Yunming's words. He knew the other party's purpose, so he didn't get angry at all.
After a few more breaths, a group of masters from Luoye City still arrived one after another. On the other hand, the two people standing in the forest of stele seemed a little weak.
"Master Zhao, Master Bai, surrender! I, Luoye City, will definitely not treat you badly!" Hu Qingzheng naturally received Ji Shenfu's order and planned to persuade the two of them to surrender.
"Hmph! Persuading to surrender? If we are really afraid of death, we can leave before you come!" As he said that, he struck a long black stick in his hand. Hu Qingzheng's face turned blue in fright, and he took a few steps back.
Zhao Yunming asked directly: "Surrender? Do you want me to teach him how to get the salary list organization? Or does he want to know the requirements of a certain department in the salary list organization?"
Ji Shenfu replied readily: "Of course, it would be better if we have both!"
…………Dividing line…………
Qingchuan County, Qingyun City.
Yi Xifeng and Zhao Long each carried a jar of Fenjiu and drank heavily. This was already the third jar they drank. For Yi Xifeng, this amount was naturally a drizzle, but for Zhao Long, who had never drank alcohol before, , it must be the right amount.
Lin Lei and Li Xintian were obviously waiting for the news.
"It's already dark now, and it's almost time for a reply over there." The fair-skinned girl felt a little uneasy, and it was obvious that the longer she waited, the more she suffered.
Yi Xifeng pushed Zhao Long beside him and muttered: "Zhao Long! You damn drink!"
The two of them were tired of the long wait, so they had no choice but to drink to suppress their depression.
At this moment, shopkeeper Zhao walked in from outside, naturally holding a black and red military machine barrel in his hand.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, is there any news?" Yi Xifeng stood up when he saw the middle-aged shopkeeper coming in. Zhao Long beside him also stood up, but he raised his hand and tapped his abdomen and shoulders twice, and waves of blue light flashed through his body. It only took about three breaths for him to turn red. will return to normal.
Shopkeeper Zhao nodded, handed the military barrel to Yi Xifeng, and said in a deep voice: "It's a black and red military barrel. It shows that something big has happened!"
The so-called military machine tube is a way of transmitting information in the pay list organization. It can be divided into several categories roughly by color.
The white military canisters are mainly daily information reported by some salary bases. The urgency and importance of the incident will be the most common.
Yellow military aircraft tubes generally involve information about some pay list tasks and require a certain degree of confidentiality. The urgency of the event is average and the importance is higher than that of white military aircraft.
Brown military aircraft barrels generally involve some urgent information from local forces and require a certain degree of confidentiality. The event is of high urgency and ordinary importance.
The red military canister is a major event involving the strategic form of one party and needs to be kept strictly confidential. The urgency and importance of the event are very high.
The black and red military aircraft barrel is not limited to anything. The importance and urgency of the event, any one of them is top-notch.
Lin Lei looked at the long black-red tube and asked in a low voice: "Why don't shopkeeper Zhao take a look beforehand and show it to us? It would also save time."
Zhao Long on the side had basically recovered at this time. He explained: "The letters in the black and red military barrel are written on special paper. When you open this military barrel, you must read it within thirty breaths. You cannot finish reading the paper." The ink marks will disappear."
The middle-aged shopkeeper also nodded and replied: "Exactly, exactly, so let everyone watch it together!"
Hearing this, Yi Xifeng had a bad feeling in his heart. He twisted his hands and unscrewed the barrel of the military machine. Then he quickly took out a piece of paper, twisted it and spread it on the table. Several other people also followed suit. He leaned over and took a closer look.
Qingyun City is divided into:
In the past two days, major changes have occurred in Yinren. Zhou Yuanyi, a master of the Luo Yunzong Hero Realm, killed Zhao Yuntian and the steward of the Zhong family, and then dueled with Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao, leaving Yinren and entering Yunxiao Pond. Later, Ji Shenfu, the governor of the county, led hundreds of cavalry to invade the northern camp and Liangchengang. The last two masters of the Luo Yunzong Hero Realm took away the leader Lin Hengshan.
Information has been verified: Lin Hengshan died, and Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao are missing.
It has been decided to postpone indefinitely. All salary tasks should be prioritized when necessary. Everyone should focus on preserving their vitality!
The information has not yet been verified: the root cause of this matter originated from Yunxiao Pool, and was related to the strange vision of heaven and earth that day.
Payroll Organization Headquarters
…
Seeing this simple yet extremely heavy piece of information, everyone fell silent. If during the day, when the Qingyun Sect heard the bad news, everyone was still angry, just like Zhao Long at that time, if Yi Xifeng hadn't stopped them, they would have started a quarrel on the spot. Of course, the other party is the head of the Qingyun Sect after all, so he will not lower his status to argue with these brats, but it is not good after all. At this time, in other people's territory, nothing can be done too much.
And now that they have received information from the salary list organization, they know that once it is "verified information", it will definitely not be groundless! It seems that what the leader of the Qingyun Sect said is probably true!
After a while, Zhao Long's face gradually calmed down. He grabbed the long knife at his waist and walked out the door. After all, shopkeeper Zhao was an old man. When he saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward and blocked the young man's way.
Seeing this, Lin Lei asked: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Long tightened the straight knife in his hand and said slowly: "Go back to Yinren Town!"
