Qian Xiu's face was expressionless, and his tone was so ordinary that it was irritating: "What does that have to do with you?"
Song Yu was choked. He rubbed his temples and felt a little dazed for a moment. Later, he realized that he seemed to be angry just now.
And as Qian Xiu said, the things here have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty in a sense. Even if he is temporarily unable to exit the game due to a bug, it is easy for him to leave Yongxi State. I'm afraid nothing in this world can restrain him.
Because of these words, Song Yu pulled away briefly. But soon, he brought his thoughts back: "I am the judge of the Peace Department of Yongxi Prefecture, just like you used to be. But I will not choose to betray Yongxi Prefecture, or even betray the entire Humanity."
Qian Xiu's face was still expressionless, but his eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't think I am colluding with the White Walkers, nor do I think I have done anything wrong. But I don't force you to think the same thing as me. Qinian , you came here specifically to see me, is Yongxi Prefecture already in danger?"
Zhou Qinian's palm was still on Qian Xiu's head. He couldn't see Qian Xiu's expression, but after a brief silence, he still responded: "Yes."
So Qian Xiu finally showed his first expression. He smiled lightly, looking like an elder who had a distant temperament, but could always give guidance to the younger generation when they were confused. However, when this smile fell into Song Yu's eyes, it was terrifying.
Qian Xiu stood up slowly. This made Zhou Qinian's hand leave his head. But Qian Xiu didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he picked up the oil barrel beside him and added oil to the ever-burning lamp in the worship hall ladle by ladle.
The scene is as peaceful and beautiful as a painting.
Song Yu felt that this person was really contradictory.
Outside the city, the city guards, the Department of Peace, and even Xie Nanshi, Du Anchen, and the passing monks were all risking their lives to fight, just to protect the peace here. Not to mention that the instigator is at least the main culprit Qian Xiu, why is he so calm and humble?
He stopped in front of Qian Xiu: "I want to know what means you have to ignore the city defense formation. You can choose to delay, and then I may do some inhumane things in order to get the answer."
The light in Qian Xiu's eyes finally focused on Song Yu, with pure curiosity: "Why do you think your torture can be more torturous than the Seal of Peace?"
I have to admit that what Qian Xiu said makes sense.
Song Yu opened his mouth. Zhou Qinian thought he had been choked, so he frowned and stepped forward to take over the interrogation.
Unexpectedly, Song Yu relaxed completely, his eyes were very bright, and there was even a hint of color on the corners of his eyes and brows, and he said with unusual certainty: "Sure enough, something is wrong with you! I knew it! I knew it! You must still be there There is a back-up plan that we don’t know about!”
"If you are really just colluding with the White Walkers, then before the news of our arrest of Liu Huaijun spreads throughout the Department of Security, what you should do is to immediately pack up and run away, leave Yongxi State, and go to the White Walkers. After all, you have You are an important member of the Security Department, and you can definitely play a vital role in the attack on Yongxi Prefecture! But you stayed, no, it should be said that you fell into a trap!"
After talking about it, Song Yu smoothed over the weird and stuck things he originally thought: "I really misjudged you for a while, thinking that you were really just pedantic, just because of that piece of 'sage's residual clothes' that was threatened by Liu Huaijun. . Only now am I convinced that you must have a purpose for staying."
Qian Xiu ignored him and thought about continuing to add lamp oil to the tablets in the worship hall.
Song Yu made a wrong move and still blocked Qian Xiu's path. His eyes were fixed on Qian Xiu's face, hoping to see some reaction in any of his movements.
It's a pity that Qian Xiu didn't respond.
Unable to make any progress, Song Yu turned to look at Zhou Qinian: "Master Zhou, do you have any way to make him speak?"
Zhou Qinian was silent. He knows Qian Xiu better than Song Yu and knows that this person has a tough character. He wouldn't frown even if the peace seal came to him. Ordinary torture methods are simply ineffective. Qian Xiu also lived a simple life on weekdays. Not to mention his family members and nephews, he didn't even have a servant at home. And this ascetic life will not give Qian Xiu any weaknesses.
Song Yu understood it and felt a little disappointed, but it was also expected: "I have finished what I want to say."
When the two left the worship hall, the sky was gray. It was as if there was an invisible dark cloud weighing heavily on the hearts of Yongxi Prefecture and everyone else.
At this moment, the almost loud noise in the outer city suddenly became quiet, and there were also many ordinary people shouting in unison.
Song Yu didn't know why. Zhou Qinian looked at the sky intently for a while, and his tense breath suddenly relaxed: "It's the formation that has been activated."
Song Yu was a little surprised: "So fast?"
Song Yu was not surprised by the timing of the formation's activation. From early in the morning, the city was crackling like the Chinese New Year. It was obvious that the formation had not yet been maintained and was relatively fragile. If you don't reactivate it, you may be defeated in advance.
But, everyone was still drunk last night. When did the seal of the Secretary of Peace and the seal of the state leader in the hand of Sui Taoist priest become one?
Zhou Qinian grinned and showed an extremely stiff expression: "With this formation, even if we don't leave the city and there are no reinforcements from other state capitals, we can survive for a year and a half just by sticking to it."
"Yes. What's more, we still have so many people going out to kill the White Walkers." Song Yu said casually, even a little envious of those who could go out of the city to level up.
But...this is just the best case scenario.
Qian Xiu, or rather the White Walker's back move, was just like the invisible dark cloud before, always shrouding Song Yu's eyes.
…
The Taoist priest was helped down from the tower. Qi Rong's eyes were filled with tears, showing that he was out of breath from crying earlier. But when he saw Taoist Sui Sui, Qi Rong put on a straight face again, pretending to be strong: "Grandpa Elder, how do you feel?"
At this time, Taoist Master Sui's face was pale, and his whole body was as weak as if his bones had been removed. Although he is much older, due to his extremely high level of cultivation, he used to look at least not young at all. But now he is really a bit old.
The cost of activating the formation is greater than imagined. In addition to cultivation, life span is also consumed. But Mr. Sui Tao has no regrets about this. He even managed to smile at Qi Rong. Then, he saw Jie Nanshi standing aside. and Song Yu who came in a hurry.
The Taoist priest's tired and erratic eyes fell on Jie Nanshi, with many indescribable emotions in his eyes. However, perhaps because he was worried about the large number of people present, he did not speak.
Jie Nanshi looked at Taoist Sutra. He was not holding a sword, but there was a sound of swords ringing around him in response. He understood what Master Sui Dao had not said. Although Dao Sui did not go to the front line in this battle, he lived up to the reputation of Jiange.
Jie Nanshi looked through the desolate night and looked at the densely packed strange beasts hidden in the dark night outside the city: "Rest assured. I am the one who will fight this battle."
The casual Taoist priest closed his eyes slightly, hiding the complexity and relief in his eyes, and followed the city to a resting place not far away to meditate and adjust his breath.
Song Yu walked up to Jie Nanshi who looked solemn, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Is the medicine enough?"
"enough."
Song Yu was stunned for a moment and said in a rather novel way: "I thought you would stay outside the city until the medicine I gave you is used up..."
"I'm tired." Before Song Yu could finish his words, he was cut off by Jie Nanshi.
This is not a prevarication. Song Yu's medicines are very magical. In Song Yu's words, those medicines can instantly replenish his physical strength and energy. But Jie Nanshi has been fighting outside the city for about an hour. In this hour, countless strange beasts have died under his Taoist skills, and there are also fewer and fewer around him.
It seems that there is only killing between heaven and earth, and the air of blood is spreading all around. There is no way forward, let alone the way back.
The elixir can replenish qi, blood, and nourish the mind, but the fatigue that comes from the depths of the soul cannot be replenished by medicine.
Song Yu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered this. He didn't pay much attention to it in the past. After all, there were rarely times when he needed to concentrate on killing monsters for two hours without taking a break. But now it seems that in addition to these two important values related to the battle, there is at least one other one, and it cannot be Medication refills.
Xie Nanshi suddenly curled up his lips. He traveled all over the country, killing countless strange ghosts and beasts with his sword and talismans. He feels tired today. In addition to being tired, he also has the impact he received during this period.
In the early years, he was driven by his belief in killing the White Walkers. In just a few months, he seemed to understand a lot more about human nature, but his sense of isolation from the world seemed to have become heavier.
Forget it, thinking too much is not conducive to the way of swordsmanship, and it is also sorry for the casual Taoist who consumes his life force to drive the formation. Thinking like this, Xie Nanshi walked towards the city gate again, his figure even looking a little desolate in the night.
Song Yu conveniently took Nanshi's arm and said, "You have been killing for a long time, but there is nothing missing outside. It can be seen that under the tide of beasts and ghosts, the refresh frequency of wild monsters must have changed. You go to sleep first, no We are in a hurry during these two hours. And you should take advantage of the time when the formation is at its strongest, and arrange a shift together to maximize the efficiency of spawning monsters..."
Xie Nanshi originally wanted to explain that his tiredness came more from the vibration of his soul, and as long as his Taoist heart was firm, it would not have much impact. But when he heard Song Yu's next words, his expression was startled, and he thought for a moment before saying: "These strange ghosts and beasts seem to have the same goal, and they are not fighting like we saw on Yuanao Mountain before. The way you described I’m afraid it won’t be easy to achieve.”
Song Yu didn't think there was any problem. Whenever monsters were spawned, there would always be some convenient output methods. Otherwise, with limited manpower and unlimited monster spawns, sooner or later a few of them would be exhausted: "Finding rules and methods will definitely solve the current situation."
Of course, the most important thing is, since you can’t kill them all, don’t waste your energy. Song Yu let go of Jie Nanshi's arm and bumped the opponent's with his shoulder. A careless smile appeared on his face again, but his words were loud and clear: "This battle is between us."
Xie Nanshi did not leave the city again, but chose to stay with Song Yu. Perhaps he chose to stay and help Song Yu when he was in Qinghe Town because he had been looking forward to how much change this person would bring to the world.
The collision of alien beasts and ghosts against each other is still there, but the shock brought to the capital of Yongxi Prefecture has been greatly reduced. When Song Yu came down from the tower, he was only a moment away from those strange beasts and ghosts, and he only heard a few faint crashes.
On the contrary, the city is much more lively. The people who had been driven into the inner city in their sleep all crowded back to the outer city when they saw that the situation was decided. Without the anxiety of losing their home, they dared to challenge the guards, and the streets became noisy for a while.
Yongxi Prefecture's internal and external troubles have been brought to light.
