Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Xinyao came out.
Xu Yuan raised her eyes and saw that the light blue dress was wrapped around her slender body, and the expression on her face had returned to its original state.
Just like before, every time she was sad, she would secretly feel sad, carefully keeping her emotions in her heart so as not to affect others.
Looking at her with a normal expression, Xu Yuan said softly:
"never mind?"
Xu Xinyao said in a low voice:
"Well, it's okay."
Xu Yuan stood up slowly, moved half a step to the side, and introduced the two women:
"This is Ran Qingmo, this is my sister, Xu Xinyao."
"."
Ran Qingmo's quiet eyes looked at Xu Xinyao, and their eyes met in the air for a moment. Some emotions flashed in Xu Xinyao's eyes, and she whispered to Xu Yuan:
"Third brother, is this sister-in-law?"
This is her judgment based on the past life style of this third brother.
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:
"Just call her Ran Qingmo."
Xu Xinyao hesitated slightly and saluted Ran Qingmo:
"Sister Qingmo."
"She is younger than you, only seventeen years old." Xu Yuan interrupted before Ran Qingmo could speak.
Xu Xinyao glanced at the third brother with soft eyes and whispered:
"all the same."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment and grinned:
"As you wish."
Ran Qingmo looked around between the two of them, and finally stood up slowly:
"Tianhao, thank you for saving Shengshan County."
She just heard Xu Yuan say that if she hadn't happened to meet Xu Xinyao, Shengshan County would have been hopeless.
Hearing this, Xu Xinyao's expression froze slightly, she subconsciously opened her eyes and whispered:
"This matter started because of me. If it weren't for my formation, it wouldn't have gotten to this point."
Ran Qingmo tilted his head and said in a clear voice with confusion:
"But isn't the murderer from the Wanxiang Sect?"
"." Xu Xinyao looked at her beautiful eyes and blinked.
Ran Qingmo’s eyes do not contain any impurities:
"I heard from people in the city that you were..."
"Ran Qingmo."
Xu Yuan interrupted at this moment: "This matter is indeed because of her misunderstanding of others. This matter is indeed caused by her."
Ran Qingmo glanced at Xu Yuan and said softly:
"But."
Xu Yuan emphasized his tone:
"Ran Qingmo."
"." Ran Qingmo honestly stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan said casually:
"Let's go to Shengshan County and see with my own eyes the good things you have done."
Xu Xinyao looked complicated and nodded slightly:
"Um"
Since the distance was not far, Xu Yuan did not use the saint's remnant soul to lift him up when he was on the way, but he also saw the fourth sister's methods.
Her boots are engraved with an extremely magical formation pattern, which can make her reach the speed of a grandmaster in a short time, and the formation patterns on her clothes can protect her from acceleration damage, and her reaction speed seems to be affected by some kind of formation pattern. With blessings, I still had the energy to communicate with him on the way.
No wonder the fourth sister in Cangyuan is so powerful in combat.
The distance of several miles was quickly reached, and she landed in front of the phantom mist formation like a natural chasm. Xu Xinyao took out a light blue token from the Sumeru ring on her fingertips, and after playing a few spells, the After a large formation of phantom mist surged, a semi-circular passage about ten feet wide opened to both sides.
Walking into it, the mist on both sides surged, and you could even faintly hear the roars of monsters in between.
Although the fate of Shengshan County being massacred has been changed by manipulating the phantom fog formation, the formation is only a trap after all and cannot effectively kill the monsters within it. The monsters trapped in the formation still exist. .
After walking through the uneven soil, a group of three people walked out of the long and narrow mist path.
Xu Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and said blankly:
"It seems that the crisis here can't be resolved until reinforcements from the surrounding areas arrive."
After finishing his words, Xu Yuan looked around and saw ruins and corpses all over the ground.
An open space was cleared around the city wall of Shengshan County, and on this open space were laid the corpses of countless monsters, mixed with a few torn human limbs, and the uniforms of the Shengshan border troops were vaguely visible on them.
But these are just small heads.
As the monsters and border soldiers on the ground looked forward, at the end of the three people's field of vision, there was a wall of flesh and blood. The broken corpses of the monsters and border soldiers formed a wall of flesh and blood. Some border soldiers could even be seen dying. The arms that struggled desperately but finally fell down.
There is the edge of Shengshan County's city defense formation.
Countless flesh and blood piled up like a mountain, even higher than the city wall of Shengshan County!
Xu Yuan did not fly by with the help of the saint's soul power, but moved forward step by step.
The three of them did not speak, and climbed up the high wall made of flesh and blood step by step, allowing the three of them to see the scene in Shengshan County.
A large area of the city wall collapsed, and the walls that had not collapsed were also full of pits. The formation patterns on the surface of some of the city walls were still functioning, but at this moment the aura was dim and crumbling.
And deeper still is a purgatory on earth.
The number of human corpses within the collapsed city wall suddenly increased. Broken limbs and arms could be seen almost everywhere. Countless corpses were torn in half by the ferocious jaws of monsters. These scenes spread along the damaged streets into the city. It was not easy to see them. The prosperous Shengshan border town is now a bloody mess.
At dawn, on the dead streets, some remaining Shengshan border troops led some knights and caravan warriors to search for the impossible survivors on the streets.
this moment,
Xu Yuanzhen truly understood the meaning of the river of blood.
Underfoot is soft flesh and blood,
Xu Yuan clenched his fists slightly, turned his eyes to his adopted sister in a light blue dress and asked:
"What does it feel like?"
Xu Xinyao clenched her fists and had difficulty breathing:
"I just want to save them."
His feet were filled with thick blood. The scenes of flesh and blood and the bursts of fishy smell constantly stimulated Xu Yuan's senses. Xu Yuan said in a low voice:
"If you do bad things with good intentions, you will also do bad things."
"Um"
Xu Xinyao pressed hard on the two wounds on the back of her hands. The excruciating pain barely kept her awake: "I, I know."
Xu Yuan walked towards the bottom of the meat mountain and said in a low voice:
"Xiaosi, the formations you have learned, and your status as the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, make every move you make affect the lives and deaths of many people. Think more about the consequences when you do things. I have already informed my father about this matter. Wanxiang He will solve it with Zong, but he won’t be so lucky next time.”
Xu Xinyao followed Xu Yuan silently. After a long while, he said softly:
"Father, you want to attack the Wanxiang Sect? Do you have any evidence?"
Xu Yuan said calmly: "Why, do you have evidence?"
Xu Xinyao shook her head: "No, they only supported me and Yinliang with the resources to build the formation. They don't know anything else. Even the control point can't be traced to them at all."
Xu Yuan shook his head and whispered:
"I previously captured an insider from the Wanxiang Sect and handed it over to the Black Scale Guards at Huanglongji. When the interrogation comes out and substantive evidence is found, my father will take action."
"Thank you." Xu Xinyao sounded guilty.
Xu Yuan glanced at her:
"If you are really guilty, just listen to what I said before."
"." Something strange flashed in Xu Xinyao's lowered eyes.
The three of them stepped onto the crumbling city wall. Xu Yuan stood there and looked into the distance, shuddering for a while, when a black shadow quickly swept towards them from the city.
The movement of the skills was poured into his eyes, and he could see clearly that the person coming was none other than Colonel Wang, who had been away for several days.
Falling in front of the three people,
Captain Wang and Xu Yuan looked at each other, and without saying a word, he knelt down in front of him and saluted with clasped fists:
"Wang, please thank Mr. Zhou for your great kindness on behalf of the people of Shengshan County."
"."
The air was quiet for a moment,
Xu Yuan stepped forward slowly and helped the other person up.
Compared with when he left, the middle-aged man with white hair on his temples looked extremely haggard at this moment. A bright red wound almost penetrated from his waist and abdomen, and his eyes were full of weariness.
The deaths, injuries and physical injuries of his comrades in the past few days have left this burly man physically and mentally exhausted.
With a sigh, Xu Yuan whispered:
"Captain Wang, I just did what I wanted to do."
Captain Wang looked at the young man in front of him, his tired eyes filled with emotions:
"Mr. Zhou, it may not be anything to you, but if it weren't for you, there might be no Shengshan County in this world."
Xu Yuan shook his head, changed the subject and whispered:
"Tell me, why did it become like this in three days?"
Colonel Wang was silent, his fists clenched loudly, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"The Wanxiang Sect arranged dead soldiers in the caravan in the city. They used small source crystal bombs to blow up several key positions."
Xu Yuan frowned, looked around and saw several scorched marks on the inner wall of the city wall, and sighed:
"As expected, the Wanxiang Sect still has some backup plans."
Saying that, Xu Yuan patted Captain Wang on the shoulder and whispered:
"Reinforcements from surrounding counties will arrive within ten days. By then they will deal with the remaining monsters in the formation. You should have a good rest."
Saying,
Xu Yuan looked sideways at Xu Xinyao:
"Miss Xu, give the token to control the formation to Captain Wang."
Captain Wang was slightly startled when he heard these words. He turned his eyes and saw many complicated emotions flashing through his eyes when he saw Xu Xinyao.
There is anger and there is gratitude.
Finally, the burly man lowered his head and saluted Xu Xinyao:
"Miss Xinyao."
Xu Xinyao stepped forward slowly and handed over the token:
"Captain Wang, I'm sorry."
Captain Wang lowered his head and took it, whispering:
"Miss Xinyao, you have also been taken advantage of, but before entering the city, it is best to cover your face like Miss Ying'er."
"."
When Xu Yuan heard this, he interjected with interest:
"Oh? Is it because the people in the city are very grateful to her?"
Captain Wang was stunned for a moment, looked at Mr. Zhou beside him, but said in a deep voice honestly:
"No, Mr. Zhou doesn't know something. Now the city has regarded Miss Xinyao as an accomplice of the Wanxiang Sect, and the Sheng Temple has been demolished. Our border troops tried our best to dissuade them, but it is a trivial matter for the people to cause trouble. The key lies in the merchants and knights. The warriors inside and the Shengshan border troops are no longer able to maintain order. Amid the public anger, Miss Xinyao may be in danger if she goes in like this."
Xu Yuan rubbed his brows when he heard the words and had a general understanding.
People like to create gods, but they also like to drag gods off the altar, especially when their lives are threatened and their emotions need an outlet.
He looked at her sideways:
"Does it look like your efforts were in vain?"
Those who work hard to save the people become the object of resentment of the people being saved.
She was silent for a while and forced a smile:
"Master Zhou, this is what Xinyao deserves."
Xu Yuan looked at the smile on her face, shook his head, turned to Colonel Wang and asked in a low voice:
"Captain Wang, can I borrow the communication source crystal in the city?"
Colonel Wang hesitated slightly and said in a low voice:
"Master Zhou, the formation has failed."
Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at Xu Xinyao next to him:
"Well, isn't there a formation master here?"
Captain Wang did not hesitate:
"If necessary, Mr. Zhou can use it at will."
Xu Yuan smiled slightly: "Then let's go."
After saying that, Xu Yuan jumped off the city wall directly. Captain Wang looked back at Xu Xinyao, opened his eyes, but said nothing, and followed Xu Yuan to jump off the city wall.
Xu Xinyao was about to step up to follow when she suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of her clothes.
Ran Qingmo silently took out a brand new curtain from the Sumeru ring, pulled her and asked softly:
"Um, don't you want it?"
Xu Xinyao looked at the curtain fence and bit her lip:
"I will"
"She wants it." Xu Yuan's voice came from under the city wall: "Ran Qingmo, help her bring it."
As we walked further into the inner city, the number of living people on the streets gradually increased, but the smell of blood remained unabated. Countless injured people were laid flat on both sides of the street, and people who looked like doctors were running among them, moaning in pain. The sound and noisy curses are endless.
Most of the people maintaining order were merchant warriors, because Shengshan's border troops had almost been wiped out in the defense of the city.
The well-dressed Xu Yuan and the others attracted the attention of many people, but under the grief of bereavement and death, most people just glanced at them numbly and then looked away.
Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze and asked in a low voice:
"Have you ever counted the number of injured people?"
Half refers to half of the dead, not counting the injured.
Under the current medical conditions in Shengshan County, these injured people will most likely die of illness.
Captain Wang walked at the front and replied in a low voice:
"We can't count them. There are too many. The city walls on both sides of the south and west sides of the city have been broken. Even if we reach an agreement with those caravans, we can't kill them at all. If Mr. Zhou stays at night for half a day, Shengshan may have turned into a dead city. "
Without saying another word, Xu Yuan walked all the way into the county government office. When he passed the school grounds, Xu Yuan's already numb thoughts stopped again.
On the huge school ground, there are countless corpses. The white cloth covering the corpses has been used up. The colorful city is one after another, and many of them are scattered. The blood is blooming on the cloth like the flower of the other side. Bright red.
Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
"Captain Wang, how many people are left in your Shengshan border army?"
Colonel Wang stopped, glanced at the school grounds, and reluctantly grinned:
"Four, four hundred and thirty-seven."
An hour later,
In the silent stone house, as the array charged up, a huge spherical crystal floated off the ground.
Standing in front of the source crystal, Xu Xinyao looked back and whispered:
"Third brother, the communication crystal has been repaired."
Xu Yuan did not speak, stepped forward, raised his hand and gently touched the surface of the source crystal, and his soul and source energy poured in at the same time.
Xu Xinyao was slightly silent when she saw this, and was about to quietly exit the stone house, but Xu Yuan's voice suddenly came over:
"I'm going to talk to my father, you stay."
Thanks to the leader I summoned to reward with a fist in an attack gesture, I now owe three single chapters, four two-in-one chapters
(End of chapter)
