Time flew by, and about half a month after the Shui Tribe retreated, the time came to August 16th.
This day is the Scimitar Festival in the wilderness, and it is the moment for all warriors in the wilderness to fight ferocious beasts and prove their courage and ability. Especially for young men in Dahuang, this is also a carnival ceremony for entering adulthood.
Everyone needs to bring the hunted beasts to the square in the center of the city, and the elders will evaluate them to determine the most ferocious and untamable beast. The owner who hunts it will also be given a crescent scimitar and be named the best of the year. Scimitar Warrior.
Every year on this day, countless brave warriors of the wilderness are born, and many young people die in the mouths of beasts.
However, this is the wilderness, and growth needs to be proven with blood and courage.
On this day, news came from the sea that someone had seen the Cloud-Splitting Crazy Dragon that appeared a few months ago. When the news came, the whole city was shaken. Now even Duan Yukai and others couldn't help but go out to sea to hunt this beast. Wait for the beast.
Different from the joyful atmosphere in the entire city, Song Xing did not play with Tuoba Ye and other young men in the city. Instead, he and Ke Hanhuai accepted Qiao Yu's banquet in the city lord's palace.
With the help of Tuoba Ye's prescription and the healing techniques taught by Song Xing, it took Qiao Yu half a month to finally heal all the injuries in his body. He also wanted to thank Song Xing for hosting a banquet today.
However, the host of the banquet was deep in thought and looked out the door from time to time. His furrowed brows showed that he was not in a calm mood at the moment.
Song Xing, on the other hand, was sitting there, as if he didn't feel Qiao Yu's anxiety at all, eating and drinking calmly.
Ke Hanhuai glanced at Qiao Yu and said, "City Master Qiao, if Brother Song's prediction is correct, I'm afraid this moment will be the time."
Before he finished speaking, heavy footsteps could be heard outside the door, and Kehanhuai simply remained silent.
Qiao Yu cheered up and looked up. A burly body walked out of the hall, holding a man tied up with ropes in his hands.
The burly man was none other than the Madman of Mirage City, Duan Yukai, who was supposed to be hunting the Cloud-Splitting Mad Dragon at sea. But at this moment, his face was full of murderous intent, and the man captured in his hands was none other than Song Yizhi, who had escorted Song Xing and the others to Mirage City.
Duan Yukai slammed Song Yizhi to the ground, made a loud noise, clasped his fists and said to Qiao Yu: "City Lord, the envoy knows things like a god. There is indeed a traitor in the city. This traitor was just preparing to secretly open the secret gate of Longmen Road."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yu's originally ugly face suddenly turned darker again.
It turns out that Mirage City was built on an island and was surrounded by sea water on all sides. It was naturally dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Chaoyang Valley spent a lot of troops but failed to attack Mirage City, so they had to besiege it instead of attack it.
But only the top management of Mirage City knew that there was an extremely secret passage eight or nine feet away from the sea on the Mirage City island, which connected to Luohua Lake, the lowest point on the island.
By opening the secret gate of Longmen Road, you can enter the lake as the sea water rises. Especially when the tide is high, the sea level outside is much higher than Luohua Lake, making it easier to enter from the outside.
Hearing that Song Yizhi planned to open the secret gate of Longmen Road, Qiao Yu suddenly gave up any hope, stared at Song Yizhi and asked solemnly: "Brother Song, why do you want to open the secret gate of Longmen Road?"
Seeing that Duan Yukai, who had originally gone to sea, was on guard, Song Yizhi also knew that he had been exposed a long time ago. He had closed his eyes and said nothing after being captured. When Qiao Yu asked about it, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Of course, let me go." The army entered the city and destroyed the mirage city."
Seeing that Song Yizhi actually said such inhuman words, Duan Yukai was furious and raised his hand to teach him a lesson, but Qiao Yu reached out to stop him.
Qiao Yu's face was filled with surprise and confusion, and he sighed: "So you are actually a spy of the Shui Tribe."
Song Yizhi joined Mirage City at a young age. Although he was not as good as Duan Yukai, he was still an old brother who had followed Qiao Yu for more than ten years. Who knew that from the beginning, he was actually a spy sent by the Shui Tribe.
Thinking that Zhulong had started to plan the Mirage City more than ten years ago, placed spies around him, and gradually became a high-level executive in the Mirage City, just to insert a knife at the critical moment when the Mirage City needed to be eradicated, Qiao Yu still couldn't help it behind his back. Cold sweat.
If Song Xing hadn't seen through Song Yizhi's true face from the beginning, everything the Scimitar Festival did today was to confuse Song Yizhi and let him reveal his true face.
If he were really allowed to open the secret gate of Longmen Road and let the Shui tribe enter Mirage City, I am afraid that Mirage City would be a scorched earth at this moment.
Song Yizhi nodded calmly and admitted: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you lose, you lose. It's a pity that Tianwu didn't listen to me and attacked Mirage City from Longmen Road. He insisted on waiting for you to be seriously injured and died suddenly, so as to reduce the casualties of Chaoyang Valley. Otherwise, what would have happened? What happened today. I just don’t understand. You haven’t doubted me all these years. Why do you doubt me this time?”
Qiao Yu clasped his fists at Song Xing and said, "There is God Emperor's blessing in the dark. Although Qiao's eyesight cannot see your wolfish ambitions, the God Emperor's messenger's eyes are as bright as a torch. From the moment he saw you, he noticed something was wrong with you. , let us know. After that, although the water demon pretended to retreat, but with the messenger reminding us, how could we really be careless."
Song Xing's martial arts spiritual cultivation has long since reached the state of sincerity and predictability. This state transcends the limits of the soul and has the ability to sense crises in the dark. When he first arrived in Mirage City, Song Xing was the only one who could Song Yizhi felt a vague murderous intention in his body.
At that time, in Mirage City, when they learned that the messenger of the God Emperor was coming to end the war, they all looked forward to it and were excited, so this inexplicable murderous intention made him a little strange.
Later, when he saw Qiao Yu and took out the sacred tree order and blood book, Song Yizhi's murderous intention became more subtle and undisguised, so Song Xing became more sure that there was something wrong with this person.
The Shui Tribe's bizarre retreat after that gave Song Xing a hint of conspiracy, so he did not leave Mirage City and secretly found Qiao Yu to reveal his suspicions.
Although Qiao Yu trusted his old brother for many years, out of caution and believing that the messenger of the God Emperor would not have any ill intentions, he relaxed his vigilance openly and even held the Scimitar Festival as usual, but secretly kept an eye on Song Yizhi.
Sure enough, on the day of the Scimitar Festival, Song Yizhi revealed his true face, and Duan Yukai noticed that he was going to open the Longmen Road, so he took action and captured him.
Song Yizhi's face was full of disbelief when he heard that Song Xing had seen through his identity.
But now that his identity was confirmed, it didn't matter what he thought. Qiao Yu had him imprisoned, and he would be dealt with according to the rules of Mirage City later.
"Envoy, judging from Song Yizhi's performance, as the envoy expected, the Shui Tribe army is called a retreat, but it is actually just a cover-up to make us relax our vigilance so that we can take the opportunity to attack the mirage city from within."
Qiao Yu said to Song Xing with lingering fear.
Song Xing smiled and said: "Fortunately, we have caught the spy now. Even if the Shui Tribe attacks again, it will just be a siege. But since Zhulong ignored the God Emperor's order, it seems that he is bound to conquer the Mirage City. Let's wait and see Ours is a fierce battle.”
