In fact, Shen Wujiu also knew that it would be unpleasant to have Mr. Zhang come to visit him just after he came back to reunite with his family, but things really couldn't let him delay any longer, so he could only bite the bullet and come to find him.
Zhang Yan didn't see Shen Wujiu immediately, but he didn't block him out either. Instead, He Xianghong was welcomed in and went to the study to drink tea. He calmly had lunch with his family and chatted for a while.
Seeing Zhang Yan come in, He Xianghong bowed and exited the study.
"I've met Mr. Zhang."
"Master Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. You don't look too good?"
"Mr. Geng made me laugh. The recent sudden situation in Xiyuan County has already resulted in the loss of nearly a hundred people. I am being pushed so hard by the superiors that I have trouble sleeping and eating."
Ranwen
Zhang Yan was not surprised. He once reminded the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom through Yang Rui about the affairs of Xiyuan County. The kind of void that happened more than a year ago was just the beginning of changes in space. There will inevitably be other changes and dangers later. Although we don’t know exactly how the danger came about, we must not take it lightly and be prepared to deal with the worst-case scenario.
"Sir, just two months ago, an earth dragon suddenly broke out in a village behind Baishi City in Xiyuan County, and the entire village fell into the ground like a roll. Eight households out of ten died. It stands to reason that such a powerful earthquake would be elsewhere. It should have been greatly affected, but the strange thing is that even the neighboring town did not feel any ground vibration. The earth dragon seemed to only target the Zhuangzi in front.
Later, when I went to investigate, I ran into a black spot and died. More than thirty people died.
When cleaning up later, in addition to Black Spot's dead body, some very strange things were found in the village. Please take a look, sir. "
When Shen Wujiu said this, he took out a copper box from his arms, opened the lid and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Yan.
Inside the box is a colorful stone with many sharp edges and corners, and it is a mixture of rocks mixed with crystals.
"This is this?" Zhang Yan subconsciously used his senses to touch the object in the box, but found nothing special. It's just that the crystals embedded in this thing seem to be somewhat similar to the spiritual conductivity of the refining materials. It's just that for a while he couldn't tell which kind of weapon refining material it was.
Shen Wujiu introduced: "This kind of thing is everywhere in the Zhuangzi where the accident happened, in the earth and rocks, in the ruins of houses, and some are even embedded in the stone mill for some reason. This kind of thing has never appeared in the local area. It looks like stone and iron slag. It’s impossible to say how it came about.”
Zhang Yan thought for a while and asked: "Is it not just Zhuangzi who is in trouble? What about the places where the monsters are holding up? Are there any changes?"
"Sir, you are so good at predicting things! As he said, apart from the accident at Zhuangzi, a total of six places in Xiyuan County have experienced relatively large mutations in the past few months. Either they are also "earth dragons", or they are It strangely and suddenly disappears into a big pit. It occurs most often in the places where the monsters are staring. But there are exceptions.
Every time such a change occurs, something strange will be left behind. Or the stone in your hand, or some unseen vegetation. There were also some mutilated corpses that I don’t know what they were..."
"Wait a minute, you mean "corpse"? From the demon clan?"
"Sir, it's not from the Monster Clan. It's some mutilated corpses, but it's obviously different from the Monster Clan's limbs. But because this thing only appeared once, it was still at the Monster Clan's garrison, and our people just saw it , and we were not able to get the actual objects. We can only be sure that the mutilated corpses must have been dead recently, and they look very strange, especially the bones, which are actually blue."
"Blue bones?" Zhang Yan once again picked up the copper box on the coffee table in front of him and took a closer look at the strange stone in the box. Soon, his mind was filled with thousands of thoughts like a storm.
The reason why Shen Wujiu came here is very simple, he just hopes to get some reminders from Zhang Yan. Just like a year ago. Although it was the Thirteenth Prince who spoke at the time, everyone knew that Zhang Yan was using the Thirteenth Prince's words as a reminder to Nanyuan Kingdom.
The changes in Xiyuan County this time have confirmed that Zhang Yan's insights were prophetic, and made Nanyuan Kingdom eager to know what kind of advice Zhang Yan would give. Either avoid it or participate more actively.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the changes in Xiyuan County at this time are definitely related to the previous actions of the demon clan, and it is basically certain that there is something in these changes that the demon clan has been waiting for. Maybe it's those stones that appear inexplicably? Maybe those strange mutilated corpses?
According to the recent trends of the demon clan, they have not retreated but advanced in the face of changes, and in the rotation, the number of the main battle group has begun to increase in the allocation of each group of demon clan, and all of them are masters. Level 1 demon generals also appeared frequently among them. This shows the attitude of these demon clan towards the whole matter.
But even if they could see the demon clan's plan, they still couldn't let the Nanyuan Kingdom rush in regardless. Because they are different from the demon clan. They know nothing about the series of changes in Xiyuan County. They don't know the purpose and applicable means. How can they dare to act rashly?
So Zhang Yan's opinion is particularly important.
"Master Shen, if you want to ask my opinion, I still say "safety is the most important thing" before. The demon clan can spare no casualties, but we have no need to do so. Because Xiyuan County is our territory, and we must keep an eye on those demon clan. , we don’t need our people to rush in with their lives. Besides, don’t forget that the agreement signed by the Yaozu with the Nanyuan Kingdom was for five years, and it has only been three years now. The subsequent changes will not end so quickly. .”
"Sir, do you mean to wait and see what happens?"
"Yes. But for some peripheral preparations, I believe the people in Xiyuan County have already started to prepare. It won't be too late to join in when the time is right. For now, it is better to let the demon clan take the lead. Such a large range, such a large battle, There is no way we will miss out on opportunities. You can rest assured in this regard.”
Zhang Yan understands the ambivalence of Nanyuan Kingdom very well. On the one hand, they are worried about excessive casualties, and on the other hand, they are worried that the demon clan will take advantage of all the benefits if they intervene too late.
However, Zhang Yan knew far more than the people of Nanyuan Kingdom. The changes in space will not come to an end so quickly. But looking at the news coming from Shen Wujiu now, it is actually close to the climax. It is said that it is five years, and there should be a clear result in the fourth year.
It's just that the development narrative of Xiyuan County has now exceeded Zhang Yan's prediction. All his previous guesses were based on whether there were any "unknown benefits" in "Void Zhi" and then falling in the void, so as to speculate on the purpose of the demon clan.
Now, whether it is the strange stone in the copper box in front of him or the strange mutilated body in the news, they are all overturning Zhang Yan's previous judgment and leading the result to another possibility that he has not considered before.
