The Wanxiang Sect's control position is in a cave in a valley three miles away.
The cave is deep and deep, and you can feel the breeze blowing when you walk inside.
Xu Yuan walked slowly along, holding a big cloth bag in his hand, looking at the dark surroundings with his blood-gleaming eyes.
There is convection wind, which means there is another exit inside.
As he continued to go deeper, goosebumps quickly appeared on the surface of Xu Yuan's skin due to the cold, and a thin layer of ice even formed on the inner wall of the cave along the way because of the cold.
Ran Qingmo would have such an effect every time he made a move, which was in line with the nickname Xu Yuan gave her secretly.
After walking a few hundred feet along the cave tunnel, the view suddenly opened up.
Looking at it, it is a hollow cave in the shape of a pyramid. The ground is flattened and a hole is opened at the top. The moonlight pours down and reflects crystal clear on the ice on the ground.
A mysterious formation is engraved on the ground, and in addition, there are lifelike ice sculptures.
It seems that Da Bingtuozi has solved everything here.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly as his eyes fell on her.
Ran Qingmo was holding a sword and standing quietly at the center of the control point, waiting for him. The moonlight gently shone on the curtain above her head, and her slim and graceful curves were looming under the black gauze.
Xu Yuan looked at the other person up and down, smiled and asked in a low voice:
"How is the situation at the position?"
The sounds and footsteps carried some echoes in the empty cave.
Ran Qingmo's cold and sweet voice came from under the curtain:
"There are some low-level cultivators inside the formation, and they have all been dealt with, but..."
"But?" Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed.
Ran Qingmo pursed her lips:
"This control point seems to require a soul key to use."
"."
Xu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, he walked forward quickly, felt out his mind and soul for a moment, and gradually frowned.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yuan said in his heart:
"Old Man Luo"
"do not ask me."
The remnant soul of the saint interrupted: "Old man, I have said it before. Over the past ten thousand years, I have spent all my waking hours studying martial arts. I have no interest in formations or anything like that."
Xu Yuan shook his head and glanced at the cloth bag in his hand:
"No, I mean this old man should have a soul key. Is there any way you can borrow it by force?"
The remnant soul of a saint is itself a soul body. In order to protect itself, many secret methods that directly act on the soul have been developed over thousands of years.
The remnant soul of the saint did not answer immediately, as if he was thinking, but in the end he whispered:
"No."
"In addition to my Charming God Daoyun?" Xu Yuan asked.
The remnant soul of the saint sighed and whispered:
"Unless you can create the kind of 'illusion' that Yuchu dragged you into before he died to brainwash this kid who has practiced the White Walker technique."
"." Xu Yuan was silent.
This kind of thing is simply impossible.
That kind of illusion was created by combining the memories of most of the world's powerful people. Except for Yuchu, who is the Charming Tree Spirit, no one else can recreate it.
suddenly,
Ran Qingmo's voice came softly from the side:
"Xu Yuan, is Shengshan County hopeless?"
When Xu Yuan heard this, he looked sideways and said:
"Why do you ask?"
Ran Qingmo took off the curtain and held it in his hand:
"The closest place to here is Yueshan County. It would take at least ten days for the border troops to get here."
As she spoke, she clenched the sword blade in her hand slightly:
"And it's unknown whether other counties will send reinforcements."
"."
Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, but he was relieved even after hearing this.
It seems that this big ice lump is not stupid, and he actually thought of something that he could not think of.
According to the map Wang Xiaowei gave him, it would only take more than a day for Ran Qingmo and Saint Remnant Soul to reach the nearest county seat to Shengshan County, but this distance would take at least ten days for the army.
Will Captain Wang and the others be able to hold on for more than ten days?
And this is even if other counties are willing to immediately break up camp and come to the rescue.
The reality is very realistic.
Sending troops to rescue Shengshan County is simple to say, but in fact it involves the local county officials' hats and even their heads.
What Xu Yuan said to Captain Wang before was true.
If the number of monsters attacking the city in Shengshan County increases sharply, the defense pressure in other surrounding areas will naturally drop sharply.
But the problem is that officials in other counties don't know this, or even if they know, they most likely won't take the risk.
You know, the last month has been a time of riots in the monster tide.
With the number of monsters currently encountered in Shengshan County, it is useless if the army is too small, but if the main force is sent to break camp and go to the rescue
While the army was away, monsters suddenly came and attacked the city. Their city was destroyed. Who would bear the blame?
The people in Shengshan County are common people, but the people in other counties are not common people?
As long as an official with some political literacy will not make a hasty decision on this issue of division of responsibilities.
After all, this is a matter of losing your head.
The final results will most likely be reported layer by layer.
Xu Yuan did not have a precise understanding of the efficiency of the various levels of government in the Dayan Dynasty today, but he knew that once this kind of thing was delayed for a few days, Shengshan County would really be hopeless.
In silence,
Looking at him who was silent, Ran Qingmo's eyes were a little depressed:
"It would be great if my cultivation level could be higher."
Xu Yuan raised his eyes, looked into her eyes, and whispered:
"You really want to save Shengshan County?"
Ran Qingmo whispered subconsciously:
"Master said that ascetics should punish evildoers and promote them."
"I'm asking you yourself, not your master." Xu Yuan interrupted Ran Qingmo.
Ran Qingmo pursed her lips and nodded:
"I want to save you. Do you have any ideas?"
Seeing the complexity in her always cold eyes, Xu Yuan took a deep breath:
"It's difficult. You are right. Other counties may not necessarily send troops to rescue immediately. They will definitely report the matter first, from county to county, then to Fuhezhou, and eventually even to the imperial court. Only then can the result be produced, and the current situation in Shengshan County certainly cannot afford to delay it.
"but."
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan stared at her with a crooked smile, raised a hand and lightly tapped his cheek.
Ran Qingmo's eyes were puzzled.
Xu Yuan grinned:
"Kiss me and I'll help you."
"."
Ran Qingmo took a half step back with alert eyes, the sword in his hand raised slightly:
"How can you help?"
Xu Yuan spread his hands and whispered:
"Don't forget, my father is the prime minister of the court. I can contact him directly and ask him to give direct orders from the court."
Ran Qingmo was slightly silent after listening carefully, and asked in a low voice:
"Oh okay, what does kissing you mean?"
Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
"Just kiss me."
Before the words were spoken, the sword arrived first.
"Uh-huh!"
The cold light passed by,
Xu Yuan looked at the way a strand of long hair on the temples fell silently, his eyes twitched, and while raising his hand, he quietly backed away:
".Isn't that the case?"
Ran Qingmo took the sword and moved forward step by step, with a faint look in his eyes:
"Master said that only couples can do this kind of thing. If anyone outside wants to do this kind of thing to me, he is a scumbag and will be killed directly."
Xu Yuan continued to retreat and said quickly:
"It's just a joke, Mr. Ran, don't take it seriously."
"Ran Qingmo." Ran Qingmo's eyes were serious and he kept walking.
Xu Yuan coughed lightly:
"Ahem, okay, Ran Qingmo, just stand there and don't come over."
The sight of the other party approaching with a sword made him dream of returning to a Buddhist temple in the mountains.
Ran Qingmo was silent for a while after hearing this, and suddenly asked:
"But if I don't go over, how can I kiss you?"
"."
The cave suddenly fell into silence.
For a long time,
He said:
"Then why did you kill me just now?"
She thought about it seriously and replied:
".I couldn't hold it back."
Count your breaths quietly,
Xu Yuan laughed dumbly and waved his hand:
"I was joking just now, I will do it even if you don't agree."
Ran Qingmo stared at his cheek without blinking:
"Then no more kissing?"
Xu Yuan shrugged:
"Naturally, I personally don't like to impose things on others."
"."
After a moment of silence, Ran Qingmo stared at him for a few breaths, her beautiful eyes slowly lowered:
"..Oh fine."
"."
Xu Yuan walked up and rubbed her head casually.
Ran Qingmo looked up nervously, his eyes cold and he clenched the hilt of his sword.
Looking at each other silently,
Xu Yuan's mouth twitched:
"Isn't it your master who said something again?"
Her voice was cold:
"No."
The words fell,
Da Bingtuozi jumped up and jumped out of the cave directly from the opening on the top of the cave. Xu Yuan was left alone and thoughtful.
The direction Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo headed was not to a nearby border county, but to a market called Huanglongji.
This was the decision Xu Yuan made after studying the map.
Now they don't need to ask for help. They just need to find a communication crystal and let Xu Yuan notify his father.
On the military map provided by Wang Xiaowei, Huanglongji was very large, and its proximity to three official roads and a canal made it prosperous.
There is a high probability that there will be communication source crystals in a market of this size.
More importantly, the straight-line distance between Huanglongji and Shengshan County is the shortest.
With the two of them traveling at full speed, it would only take about a day.
And if there is no Huanglongji and no communication crystal, Xu Yuan and the two can also set off from there to the nearby border town of Zishan County. In terms of time, it will only be about half a day slower than going directly to the nearest county.
The day passes by in a hurry,
There is no moon tonight, and the wilderness is completely dark, but this also makes the lights on the skyline particularly conspicuous.
Xu Yuan looked at Huanglongji on the horizon, his eyes filled with unconcealable exhaustion.
Ran Qingmo could avoid sleeping, but he couldn't.
If there is no communication crystal in Huanglongji, there is a high probability that Xu Yuan will still be unable to sleep the next day.
I didn't sleep for two days and two nights, and I didn't know if I would die suddenly.
Just as he was thinking about it, a cold voice sounded next to his ears:
"Xu Yuan."
Xu Yuan used the Blood Yuan Heart Destruction Technique to strengthen his spirits and replied via voice transmission:
"What's wrong?"
"When we arrive at Huanglongji, would you like to find an inn to rest for a while?"
His voice was still cold, but this was the first thing Ran Qingmo said to him along the way.
Obviously, this big ice lump was angry because of the previous joke.
But after hearing these caring words, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
"No, although I'm tired, I can still hold on by running my skills."
"Oh." Ran Qingmo stopped talking.
In the silence, the distance of more than ten miles passed quickly, and the light on the sky line became clearer and clearer.
Looking down from the sky, Huanglongji below is almost a city without walls.
There are rows of houses on the streets, and the streets are brightly illuminated by brightly patterned lights. Pedestrians are bustling among them, and various flower boats are floating on the canals. The lights at night are even more prosperous than some counties and cities.
Perhaps if there is no war in the future, in more than ten years, the Great Yan government will build a large-scale city here.
The south entrance of Huanglongji is brightly lit, bustling with traffic, and a bustling scene of caravans passing by.
Suddenly, two figures fell from the sky.
As soon as they landed, the two immediately attracted many people's surprised eyes.
The two of them had traveled a long time, and it was obvious that they had been traveling for a long time, and traveling in the air for a long time was at least a symbol of fourth-level cultivation.
A strong person of this level is still very rare in the market next to this situation.
Ignoring the chattering of these people, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo walked straight towards Huanglong Market. There is a high probability that there must be communication crystals in a market of this size.
Now he just wants to finish things quickly and then find an inn to rest.
Huanglongji, west gate entrance.
A motorcade drove towards the outside of the market. Among them, a carriage with a black dragon engraved on it caught special attention.
As the motorcade passed by, pedestrians gave way.
Soon, the convoy drove along the market road and onto the wide official road outside without any hindrance.
Amidst the crisp sound of horse hooves, the convoy gradually moved away, leaving only the twitching words of a group of merchants gathered in Huanglong.
After traveling for more than ten miles, the surrounding area gradually became desolate, and the number of caravans on the official road gradually became rare.
Zhou Ziqing, riding a flaming hoof horse, slowly slowed down and marched side by side with the dragon carriage in the middle of the motorcade.
A breath of silence,
The curtain of the Panlong carriage was opened from inside, revealing a gentle face that was as gentle as water.
Xu Xinyao smiled slightly:
"Zi Qing, what's wrong?"
Zhou Ziqing looked apologetic and cupped her fists slightly:
"Xin Yao, I'm sorry. My junior sister and junior brother are playful by nature, so they delayed us for a whole day."
Xu Xinyao shook her head gently when she heard the words and said in a soft voice:
"How can this be regarded as a delay? We were originally going out for training. When we arrived, we naturally wanted to see the local customs and customs."
After a pause, Xu Xinyao glanced sideways at a pair of young men and women riding horses behind her, and laughed in a low voice:
"And after we go to Shengshan County, Zhong Hua will leave. Zi Qing, you don't know how that girl Luo Xi feels about Brother Zhong Hua. It's also good to let them stay for one more day. After all, we're going No, I don’t know when they will see each other again.”
When Zhou Ziqing heard this, she had ten thousand beautiful eyes and the corner of her lips raised an ambiguous arc:
"That's right. It's probably only about five days' drive to Shengshan County. Then Luo Xi, that girl, is probably going to find Zhonghua after returning to the mountain gate."
Before the words fell,
Zhou Ziqing suddenly raised his head and looked at the dark sky behind him.
After feeling the sensation, Zhou Ziqing directly pulled out the thin sword on his back and whispered with a serious face:
"Xin Yao, someone is coming. You start the carriage formation first."
Xu Xinyao's eyes flashed slightly when she saw Zi Qing's face:
"Is it strong?"
"Looking at the breath and speed, there should be two great masters coming for us!"
After saying that, Zhou Ziqing's technique started to work.
next moment,
"Buzz——"
There was a buzz, dust rose up on the official road, and two figures landed from the sky right in front of the convoy, blocking the way.
Zhou Ziqing looked back and looked at Li Zhonghua who was behind them, nodded to each other, flew forward and landed directly in front of the motorcade, looking at the rising dust with solemn eyes.
Before the smoke and dust dissipated, a slightly chilly and warm male voice came over first:
"Xu Xinyao, come here."
Cavan passed
