It was early spring, and the winter snow in the upper reaches melted, turning into running water and pouring down. The splashes of water caused a bit of bone-chilling chill.
"Mr. Yan, what are I looking at?" Zhou Bigan said with a smile.
Her purple hair was blown back by the river wind, revealing her smooth forehead and extremely dark pupils.
"What am I looking at? Is it possible that you don't know what I'm looking at? It's disappointing to be so aggressive!"
As he spoke, his smile faded.
"Without expectations, there is no disappointment." Yin Shengshi's smile became slightly stiff and he sighed softly,
"Master Hou should have understood that in this world, you and I are free, but we are not free people.
There are some things you can't help yourself with. "
He said, paused,
"Of course, Lord Marquis, you don't need to think too much. Marquis Yu sent you to guard Tongnan Village to show his trust and respect for you, and he has no intention of monitoring you when he comes here."
"Trust and respect? If you really trust me, I should be in Sitong City at this time, not in Tongnan Village." Zhou Bigan said quietly.
Although some of them are not explained, it is because they are concerned about the face of both parties.
Who doesn’t understand the actual meaning?
Wolves are easy to drive away, but lions are difficult to tame.
A man of his strength, if he didn't have this body, would be like a celestial being, a land immortal Buddha. How could he command him at will, and how dare he command him at will?
It's just that he couldn't understand. Didn't that person understand that if he really had different intentions, it wouldn't be easier for him to seize several cities and split the soil and seal the land with the power of victory in the past as a royal family than it is now?
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. There are many arrangements in Sitong City. The commander Tuoba Xin is your personal guard. With the power of the Tao Formation, even if the Great Sage comes in person, his strength will be suppressed. Plus Sitong City If the wall is strong, there will be no business trips." Yin Shengshi said softly,
"Of course, if something happens, the other party will just besiege the city and harass them like last time. If the Marquis goes there, he can calm down one or two."
If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.
In this duel, not only are there no shortage of top masters, but also middle-level warriors. The imperial court has also mobilized elites from various places to support them, and there are also plenty of them.
In addition, battlefield weapons manufactured by the Ministry of Heavenly Works such as Taoist formation military orders, fine iron chariots, etc. were provided, which can be considered as sufficient preparations.
This is why Yin Shengshi agreed to go out and monitor Zhou Bigan just in case.
"Mr. Yin has calculated everything so well, but have you ever thought about it? Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If something goes wrong, what will we do?" Zhou Bigan was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke up.
"It must be impossible." Yin Shengshi said immediately as soon as the other party finished speaking, "This formation has been reviewed several times beforehand."
After he finished speaking, he was about to say something else, when suddenly, there was a loud sound of birds.
I saw a golden light flashing across the sky, cutting through the thin clouds, and falling straight towards the ground.
This is...a golden-feathered eagle?
For some reason, Yin Shengshi suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
The golden-feathered eagle soared into the sky, its speed became slower and slower, and finally landed in front of the two people.
Zhou Bigan's face returned to calm, and he stepped forward to take off the letter from the eagle beast.
"Interesting, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens..."
Zhou Bigan's voice became lower and lower,
When he raised his head and looked at Yin Sheng aside,
When Yin Sheng heard this, his expression was sluggish, and he stepped forward to take the letter.
After a few breaths, his face became terrifyingly gloomy. He swallowed his saliva and subconsciously looked at Zhou Bigan.
He didn't know what to say at all.
Things have really changed a lot. Sitong City has just fallen, and 30% of the Sitong court army has been captured. Among them, the military leader Tuoba Xin has disappeared.
In this case, the coach disappeared.
Then think of the other party's identity...
"You didn't expect this to happen, and I didn't expect this to happen either." Zhou Bigan's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was terrifyingly calm.
"Of course, I will give everyone an explanation for this matter."
"..." Yin Shengshi was speechless.
The coach's rebellion is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.
What's even more outrageous is that the traitorous coach is also the personal guard raised by the man in front of him...
Zhou Bigan didn't speak, just glanced at Yin Shengshi, then looked along the Tongnan River, and his figure slowly disappeared.

Huaiping General Office, Military Aircraft Department.
Antique and luxurious meeting hall.
The precious flowers are swaying in the curling smoke. Not far away, the incense burner is motionless, calm and peaceful.
The new state shepherd, Wu Guiduan, was sitting in the first place with a calm face and a calm expression.
He was dressed in a purple robe, tied around his waist with a rhinoceros goldfish belt, and had a shark skin scabbard attached to his waist.
There are military officers sitting in two rows below him. They are all strong and strong, full of vitality and blood, and have extraordinary bearing.
The lowest level of any one of them is the military commander, and they work in local positions. They are the first and second leaders in each place. They are considered to be the top among the middle and high-level leaders of Zhou Shengjun in Huaizhou.
Logically speaking, everyone should be unruly, but at this moment, they were all surprisingly calm and solemn.
The reason is naturally the person in the seat.
Wu Gui, the new governor of the state, came from Wangjing. As a special envoy of the imperial court and carrying the current imperial order, he can be a real dragon crossing the river.
In addition, his strength is also top-notch, so others cannot help but ignore him.
"Now that an urgent military order has been sent, our army in Sitong County was defeated. Six hours ago, Sitong City was gone. What do you think?" Wu Gui put his hand on the armrest, supported his chin, and said calmly.
It seems like he doesn't care about these things at all.
"According to what I heard, there are two reasons for this defeat. One is that the little black Buddhist Buddha head deliberately concealed his strength before, and the other is that the commander-in-chief of the army is suspected of betraying..." The speaker was the first person on Wu Gui's right.
He is wearing black armor, a jade belt on his forehead, and a pair of red phoenix eyes that seem to hide a sharp edge.
His body shape was much stronger than the other generals. When he spoke, he glanced at everyone present, but no one dared to look at him.
This man was the top leader in Huaiping at this time, the unparalleled general Li Yuanqian.
If Wu Gui hadn't come with the imperial order, he would actually be sitting at the top of the Military Hall.
"I know this. That person seems to be named Tuoba Xin. Who recommended him?"
Wu Gui closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows with his hands, as if thinking.
"This is Lord Zhou Bigan, the Marquis of Yongxin." Someone prompted.
"Yes, it's Zhou Bigan. Where is he now? Since he was the one who recommended it, he should be held accountable." Wu Gui suddenly understood and immediately spoke up.
But no one answered the call at this time.
Just kidding, what is the origin of this Yongxinhou, locals like them don’t know yet?
To put it bluntly, not to mention his strong strength, but his connections, three to four out of ten high-ranking people in the Luojia Mountain Army have served under him.
Otherwise, Tuoba Xin would not have been pushed to Sitong City as the top leader.
Who dares to offend a person like this?
The scene instantly froze for three or four breaths.
The master of the Military Aircraft Hall seemed not to be embarrassed at all. When no one responded, he continued to himself and said:
"Now that the four roads are gone and the pass guards have disappeared, the methods of those traitors must be even more cunning. Let's see, what should we do now?" He spoke lazily.
Again no one spoke up.
The incense burner in the distance was slowly burning incense, and the bamboo timepiece in the courtyard was ticking.
"Strengthen the walls and clear the country, how about deploying troops to suppress it?" At this time, Li Yuanqian suddenly responded.
"Deploy troops to suppress them. Now the war is also tense in Luojia Mountain and Taihuai River. On the other side of the North Sea, we need to guard against the Sea Clan. Where can we mobilize troops?"
Sitting opposite Li Yuanqian, a blond man with a beard spoke for the first time.
This man is wearing military armor that is a little different from most people. There is a red bird in the center of the armor.
He is Xie Lan, the deputy commander of the Wangjing Forbidden Army, responsible for the three armies, and a well-known figure in Wangjing. Now he is sent to Huaizhou together with Wu Gui to help out.
There are also rumors that he participated in the battle for the royal family and took sides early, but ended up being too ruthless and was sent out by Jihuo. Only then did he arrive in Huaizhou.
Therefore, he has a very bad temper, and his speech is usually a bit strange.
"Then what does Brother Xie mean...?" Li Yuanqian asked, his expression unchanged.
"Why not use the power of the sect to resist? After all, there are only three gates in Sitong County now. Haha, aren't there two big mountains in Huaizhou?"
"You mean...borrowing the power of Lingtai Sect and Qianshan Sect?" Li Yuanqian sat upright.
"I know that you, Yuhou Mansion, have some relationship with the Qianshan Sect, so I will leave it to me. You can make peace with the Lingtai Sect." Wu Gui said with a smile.
"This... I'll give it some thought."
"Haha, yes."

Outside Sitong City, a few days later.
Qinglonghui base is an earthen fortress hidden in the mountains.
Lin Mo stood on the elevated slope inside the fort and looked into the distance.
While watching, he kept stuffing something into his mouth.
There is a clicking sound from time to time.
Look carefully, they are primeval stones.
Ordinarily, Yuan Stone, which is considered an excellent cultivation resource, is being eaten as snacks?
Die Meng and Dao Ci couldn't help but look at each other.
Could it be that this is the secret of the strength of my senior brother Qingliang?
Maybe, you can try it yourself in private?
The two of them couldn't help but have such an idea in their minds.
Lin Mo swallowed the Yuanshi in his mouth and pinned the snack bag to his waist.
He saw the different expressions on the two people's faces, but didn't pay much attention to them.
Nowadays, it is no different than before I started practicing martial arts. Some of my unique features need to be hidden, lest I attract the attention of others.
At this time, he no longer had to worry about many things.
Who has reached this level without any secrets? What does it mean if you like to eat some yuan stones?
Who has the guts to come over and ask him why he likes to eat this stuff?
"The two junior brothers should be fine, right?"
Lin Mo clapped his hands, looked at the two people who were still pale but their breaths had stabilized, and asked casually.
"This...thank you for the elixir given by senior brother. It's almost better now."
Diemeng and Diemeng were still thinking in their minds, but when Lin Mo turned around to ask, they immediately replied nervously.
Especially Dao Ci.
Since he entered the profession, he has been given great expectations due to his extraordinary talent.
What are the secret skills of earth elixirs, secret weapons of equipment, whatever is given to them.
He was completely trained as a Taoist disciple, similar to Taoist Sister Huiling of the Cihang Taoist lineage.
However, before the two of them could truly become successful, Lin Mo suddenly emerged as a new force.
With the combat power of a suspected true king, he directly became the key training target of the sect, and even ranked as the twin stars of Lingtai with the senior senior brother Qi Sun of the previous generation of Lingtai.
Originally, Dao Ci was a little dissatisfied. After all, geniuses are arrogant, but after this battle, after truly seeing Lin Mo's strength, he was finally conquered.
Afterwards, the scene when Lin Mo casually killed a powerful enemy and murmured something like, "Why not, destiny is with me" came to mind.
Occasionally, the body may become hot and the heart may beat rapidly.
"Since we are fellow disciples, you don't have to be polite about trivial matters." Lin Mo shook his head.
Since the last fire in Sitong City, Diemeng dared to bring a large group of Lingtai disciples to find Pufan to support him, so he recognized these junior disciples.
Naturally, he wouldn't care about helping his own people if he could.
"Right now, according to the news from the spies, Sitong City has been captured. I have decided not to return to the clan. Are you coming with me?" He continued to ask.
His original plan was to return to the sect that day, but a few disciples were seriously injured and looked like they would vomit blood if they took just two steps. Unable to bear it, he changed his plan and brought a group of people to his sect. Rest in a secret base.
It was during these few days that he witnessed with his own eyes what the irreversible trend was.
In such a large Sitong City, after the defeat of the official army, the Black Buddhism sent people to settle in.
After entering the city, they immediately held a meeting to save the suffering, saying that the Black Buddha would ascend to heaven to save the suffering in the world.
It advocates complaining for the poor people and enumerating the sins of the wealthy families in the city in a form similar to "big character bao".
In the end, most of the resistance was wiped out in one fell swoop.
And distributed the wealth of the wealthy family to the people, winning the hearts and minds of the people.
In just a few days, he successfully took over Sitong City.
The speed and efficiency are so high and terrifying that it’s frightening.
"This...Sitong City has fallen, and we naturally want to return to the sect, but we are just afraid that we will trouble senior brother again..." Diemeng said, feeling a little embarrassed.
With their current condition, it can only be considered a slight improvement. In today's troubled times, if there is no one to protect them, it is easy for them to overturn if they are unlucky.
"It's just a way to go, no need to worry about it."
Lin Mo shook his head.
After that, he went to Xiao Zhengyang, Wang Kui and others to explain how to accumulate grain and develop, and explained the follow-up arrangements.
Then he determined his position, led everyone, and returned to Lingtai Sect at full speed.
The group did not travel by land, but took the Eagle Er.
Ying Er, who grew up in the mountains, now has a wingspan of nearly ten meters. In terms of strength alone, ordinary martial arts masters are no match for him. He can carry seven people flying with ease.
It’s just that the sky hasn’t been too peaceful recently.
There are many more weird birds than before, and none of them look like the native bird species of Chi County.
During rapid flight, accidents are very likely to occur, which makes the return speed much slower.
Finally, we stopped three times along the way and finally arrived at our destination three days later.
They also reported all the matters here, and then Dao Ci and others were called in for routine debriefing and questioning.
Lin Mo didn't have anything important to do, so he didn't need to report on his duties and walked directly towards Qingliang Temple.
But just halfway, he met Qi Sun.
"Senior brother, you stopped me halfway, but something happened? You really don't even have time for me to go home and take a rest?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.
The two of them were standing on the iron chain mountain road on the mountainside. The sea of clouds was lingering at the foot of the mountain. The mountain wind blew by from time to time, and there was a hidden forest sea.
"Junior brother made such a big noise when he came down the mountain. He doesn't look like he is tired." Qi Sun's shabby coat was changed into a black shirt with dragons and tigers painted on it. He hugged his shoulders with his arms and joked road.
"Heavenly Lord summoned me, it should be because I have something important to come to you for."
