When the huge black eagle descended from the sky, it covered the sky and the sun, and the air waves rolled.
next moment,
As the energy surged, a row of translucent stairs condensed from the attic pattern appeared on one side of Xuan Ying from high to low.
Xu Yuan, who was standing on the loft deck, chuckled and shook his head when he saw this scene.
According to Xu Xinyao, just like choosing the configuration when buying a car in the previous life, this kind of stepped pattern needs to be purchased.
It has no practical effect, but it is very powerful.
It's just a pity that there is no one below to greet you now.
Yuan Hao had no intention of coming to greet him, and he didn't even send an adjutant.
However, Xu Yuan was not angry. Instead, he found Yuan Hao a bit funny.
If he comes over, it means he probably won't be able to fight.
After walking up the Yuanqi Stairs and walking down the Black Eagle Pavilion, Xu Yuan saw the east city wall after the war.
Since it was a surprise attack inside the city with an airborne landing, basically no destructive siege equipment was used, and the city wall was still intact.
It's just that the surface in many places is covered with a rather disgusting green sticky substance.
As the two of them approached,
After Xu Xinyao also saw this thing, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a trembling voice:
"Is this spirit-blocking mucus?"
"What?"
Xu Yuan glanced at the fourth sister and found that her eyes were wrong, so he asked casually: "Did you invent this thing?"
Xu Xinyao nodded:
"Um."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, felt it slightly with his mind soul, and said with a smile:
"It did not damage the structure of the formation itself, but it blocked the transmission of source energy. This new weapon seems to be quite effective."
Xu Xinyao pursed her red lips, clenched her fists slightly, and said in a low voice:
"I originally studied this thing to test the independence of the array patterns, so that the material would not be scrapped after one failure, so the structure of the array patterns itself would not be damaged."
Speaking of which,
Xu Xinyao's eyes dimmed a lot, staring at the green slime:
"But...but they actually used it as a weapon."
"."
Forge plows into swords.
Xu Yuan paused, took a deep look at Xu Xinyao, sighed and said nothing.
Along the way, Yuan Hao is really good at running an army.
The East Wall of Vientiane has become completely orderly after experiencing a short period of chaos.
Under the east city wall, the Black Scale Army seemed a bit busy coming and going. The captured equipment and casualties were being counted. Some sergeants were clearing the streets in the distant city to maintain order.
The comrades who died in the battle were neatly and temporarily placed in the shade of the city wall, waiting for the special flying monsters to carry them back home. However, the corpses of the Vientiane defenders were not so lucky, and were piled up randomly in a special place. On the big piece of cloth, it looks like a small mountain.
In addition, Xu Yuan also saw many black-scaled troops that had been reorganized and ready to continue executing military orders at any time.
Yuan Hao seemed impatient.
When Xu Yuan arrived at Yuan Hao's location, he was gathering with some generals wearing mid-to-high-level armor and issuing some instructions.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan did not move over immediately, but stood quietly aside with the silent Xu Xinyao and waited.
He knew that Yuan Hao knew that he had arrived.
And Yuan Hao did know that Xu Yuan was coming, and he also knew that the other party was standing not far away and watching.
He just didn't want to face it.
The adjutant beside him tried to remind General Yuan Hao several times that he was coming, but he always glared back.
He liked what the Third Young Master said very much, "If you are going to be outside, military orders will not be obeyed."
Disrespecting military orders suits him very well.
But now people are slapped in the face. No matter how disrespectful this military order is, it will be a bit disrespectful.
The generals in the circle were silent and staring. Commander Yuan did not say anything, and they did not dare to leave. They could only listen to the other party talking nonsense about military discipline.
In the end, the adjutant on the side did not hold back and reminded him quickly and lowly:
"Commander Yuan, the general has arrived, look"
"."
Suddenly silence.
Yuan Hao slowly looked back at him and said:
"Ah? General? Where is the general?"
"I'm here."
"."
Yuan Hao glanced back.
Xu Yuan smiled and waved at him: "Commander Yuan, you can continue talking if you haven't finished speaking."
"." Yuan Hao.
Yuan Hao turned around naturally, waved his hand, and signaled the generals below to get out quickly. Then he quickly ran to Xu Yuan and said with a smile:
"Just say it when you come."
Xu Yuanyu said teasingly:
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing Commander Yuan's emphasis on military discipline?"
Yuan Hao's voice was serious:
"That's right. The city that was taken down is ours, and the damage caused is also ours."
After all,
Yuan Hao's expression suddenly relaxed, he rubbed his hands and asked with a low smile:
"Um, I wonder what the outcome of the negotiation will be, young master? The Blackscale Army has basically been reorganized according to the military order you issued just now. We are just waiting for the 7th Battalion to enter the city to reorganize."
"Okay, there's no result yet." Xu Yuan interrupted and said helplessly.
"."
Yuan Hao's eyes widened for a moment, as if he wanted to laugh, but held it back, frowned and said seriously:
"But the Wanxiang Sect doesn't know what is good and what is evil?"
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:
"I don't know, I've said it all but there's no result yet."
Yuan Hao asked tentatively:
"Then we plan"
"continue."
"Then the general will go first"
Yuan Hao clenched his fists tightly, cupped his hands and was eager to leave.
General will be outside, military order
"Don't worry, stay with me."
Xu Yuan dismissed his idea directly: "I have something to ask you."
"Master, military affairs"
"I told you, I have something to ask you."
"." Yuan Hao stopped talking.
Xu Yuan pointed to the cleared road ahead and whispered:
"Talking as we walk."
Yuan Hao and Xu Xinyao followed silently.
The corpses had been moved away, but there were still some fresh blood stains on the road. Xu Yuan looked at the red stains and asked in a low voice:
"Is Bai Zhao dead?"
"ah?"
Yuan Hao was stunned for a moment.
Now that the military affairs are so urgent, why keep him by your side just for this?
Thinking about it, Yuan Hao looked at the back in front of him and sighed inwardly.
It seems that the Third Young Master also knows that he likes his saying that he will not accept military orders abroad.
It's probably impossible to fight.
He replied in a low voice truthfully:
"I was about to commit suicide, but I saved him, and he is now placed two blocks away."
"Have someone bring him here." Xu Yuandao.
Yuan Hao silently left to arrange the manpower, but he was still within Xu Yuan's sight range.
And seeing this scene,
Xu Xinyao asked in a low voice:
"Third brother, are you ready to silence yourself?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and did not answer her, but called softly:
"elder sister?"
"what?"
An angry voice immediately sounded from Xu Yuan's side, and Lou Ji, wrapped in a coat, appeared beside him.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly when he saw this. He had seen this method of concealing his presence before in Si Ziyu:
"Do you still have the human skin mask on you?"
Lou Ji frowned when he heard this:
"Do you want to give it to the person named Bai Zhao?"
Xu Yuan nodded:
"Um."
"Alas~"
Lou Ji sighed sweetly, seemingly reluctant, but still agreed: "Changtian, you are such a prodigal, but who asked you to call me sister~"
With that said, Lou Ji took out an iron box from her Sumeru Ring.
Xu Yuan took it, and Lou Ji reminded him as if nothing had happened:
"Changtian, the world is so big, there is no need for you to leave a single risk in the world."
Xu Yuan was silent for a while, smiled and shook his head:
"I know, but I can't be so cold-blooded now. He is different from Zhou Xiao Heyi, and he has contributed to us."
Xu Xinyao followed Xu Yuan silently, biting the corner of her lip, looking at his back with complicated eyes.
soon,
Bai Zhao was led over by several sergeants.
Yuan Hao stood not far away very knowingly, looking at the prosperous Vientiane City.
The moment Bai Zhao, a middle-aged man with half-white hair on his temples, saw Xu Yuan, he subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but he held it back and whispered:
"You're looking for me?"
He didn't kneel down, he didn't call Third Young Master directly, he was still as measured as ever.
Xu Yuan said nothing and handed the box in his hand to him.
When Lou Ji saw this scene, she curled her lips in distress and whispered:
“You really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when you’re not a family member.”
"."
Xu Yuan glanced at the old aunt faintly, and Lou Ji snorted and turned away.
She was not happy with the idea of investing such a valuable thing in a small person.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Yuan stared at Bai Zhao, who was at a loss in front of him, and whispered:
"You should have seen what's in this box."
Bai Zhao had seen the box and heard the words of the beautiful and charming woman beside the Third Young Master. His voice was slightly trembling:
"Mask."
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and asked:
"So, what are your options?"
Bai Zhao still knelt down, his body trembling as he knelt in front of Xu Yuan:
"How could Bai Hede allow you to do this?"
Xu Yuan looked down at him and said calmly:
"Bai Zhao, you are a smart man. You should know what it means when you put on this mask."
"Know."
"So your choice?"
"."
Bai Zhao didn't say anything, and bowed his head solemnly to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
"Bai Zhao died today. Come up with a name and go down. Someone will arrange a new job for you after a while."
After all,
Xu Yuan waved his hand and walked straight forward accompanied by Yuan Hao and Xu Xinyao.
Lou Ji did not leave, but stood beside the kneeling middle-aged man and said softly:
"Your name is Bai Zhao, right?"
"Yep."
Bai Zhao put his head on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. He had probably guessed the identity of the woman who was accompanying the Third Young Master.
"It seems like you have guessed who I am?" Lou Ji was very interested.
"Lord Lou Ji." Bai Zhao said in a low voice.
Lou Ji crossed her arms over her chest and said slowly:
"You're very smart. Since you know who I am, I won't say anything more. Do your best and don't let Chang Tian down."
After that, the voice disappeared.
a long time,
Bai Zhao slowly stood up and looked at the back of the person in the middle of the crowd. He clenched his fists tightly until the person gradually walked away and bowed his head again.
Go some distance,
Xu Yuan looked sideways at Lou Ji and said with a smile:
"Sister, don't look at me like that. You have to have a local leader to lead the way when taking over an industry, right?"
Lou Ji sighed lightly:
"What industry does a gang leader know?"
Xu Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this:
"Have you not read the information from Bai Zhao?"
Lou Ji shrugged and shook his head evilly:
"Sister, I am very busy. The people below are responsible for these things."
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly when he heard this and said:
"He is indeed just a gang leader. He can hide a gang of more than 3,000 people without a trace. He must have taken care of several important nearby counties and cities and is familiar with the surrounding situation. Moreover, Bai Zhao ran a chamber of commerce fifteen years ago, and the scale is not large. Small, but it’s a pity that he was directly swallowed by others because he made money out of the world, and later he became an underground gang member.”
Without cultivation and background, the more wealth he has, the stronger he is like to the sect family.
When Lou Ji heard this, she chuckled and asked:
"Are you planning to put him in charge of the chamber of commerce that has come over?"
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"Of course not. At most, give him a deputy position to see how he can be given so much authority right from the start. With a local snake like him, Mr. Hua should be able to send someone over. It should be much smoother."
Lou Ji said with a smile:
"You act just like your father did."
Xu Yuan smiled when he heard this:
"Thank you for the compliment, but this compliment makes me a little uncomfortable."
"oh?"
Lou Ji smiled even more happily after hearing this, and took his arm: "It seems that our ambitions are not small~"
Xu Yuan shrugged and asked:
"Sister, I'm curious about why a character like yours keeps working under my father?"
In several lines in Cangyuan, Lou Ji committed suicide after the death of Xu Yinhe.
Of course, she was not the only one who committed suicide.
Hua Hong.
Zong Qingsheng.
Bai Dai.
These senior officials in Cangyuan all chose to commit suicide with relief after learning that Xu Yinhe was dead.
In my memory, my father was just a silent and smiling figure most of the time.
Lou Ji thought about it seriously, lowered her eyes and whispered softly:
"There are many reasons. I respect your father as a person, appreciate his methods, and admire his talents. Of course, the more important thing is that he carries our ideals."
Xu Yuan was quiet for a moment:
"Ideal. Peace and prosperity?"
"Um."
Lou Ji let go of Xu Yuan, stretched out in front of him, raised her eyes and looked at the sky: "It was like this at first, but now maybe I just want to see how far he can take us. That’s right, people change after all.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan suddenly fell silent.
Lou Ji tilted her head and came forward, smiling sweetly:
"Feeling stressed?"
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and said jokingly:
"There is definitely pressure. If possible, I really don't want to take on this mess. It's too tiring."
"."
Lou Ji was silent after hearing these joking words.
Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the other party's expression.
He suddenly realized that Lou Ji, who was the number one member of the Black Scale Guard, might have vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with Xu Yinhe's body, and his joke just now seemed to help her verify this guess.
Looking at each other speechlessly,
Neither of them said anything.
Lou Ji smiled and hit him on the head, and said calmly:
"You performed well this time. Sister, I, the examiner, are very satisfied~"
After all,
She raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Wanxiang Mountain Gate, then looked back at Xu Yuan with soft eyes:
"Changtian, you succeeded."
As her words fell,
An old voice came from the city:
"Sir, I'm here to keep an appointment."
