late at night.
Snow flakes were flying.
The head of the imperial city of Luoyi in Daji,
Yang Silang, the lieutenant general of the Imperial Guard, was wearing a red robe and armor, and with his spear and halberd aside, he sat at the head of the east gate of Luoyi City. Accompanied by several close captains of the Imperial Guard, he lit a bonfire, " "Crackling" burning.
They warmed themselves in front of a roaring bonfire, and drank spirit wine in a depressed mood to drive away the cold of winter.
"General Yang!
I heard that General Nangong Guangguang led 3,000 elite soldiers of the Huben Division, the most elite of our Great Ji Immortal Dynasty, to fight against the barbarians from the Northern Territory in the Muye area!
But I don’t know how the battle is going? "
The captain asked in a low voice while pouring wine into Yang Silang's wine glass.
"I have been ordered to guard the Imperial City, how can I know the general's battle situation?
However, General Nangong had already reached the seventh level of the Bing Sect [Bing King] a hundred years ago, and was one of the eight most important ministers of the emperor.
Now after all these years, he may have improved a lot in cultivation and reached the eighth realm of the Military Sect [Military Sect Half-Saint]!
It is not easy for the barbarian army to get an advantage from him. "
Yang Silang said angrily.
"Alas~, our Great Ji Immortal Dynasty is in trouble now! Barbarians from northern Xinjiang invaded in large numbers, Chaoge City fell, and a large number of refugees fled to Luoyi Imperial City.
The public security in the Imperial City was also very chaotic. Many foreign princes and nobles ran to the Imperial City to escape the disaster. The refugees had nothing to do in the city, making trouble and causing trouble. There were even wild monsters mixed in and drivers causing damage. "
"The eight hundred princes and kings of our Great Ji Immortal Dynasty have divided themselves into one side and occupied the blessed land. Many of them have strong soldiers and horses, but they all look on with cold eyes, refusing to send troops to serve the king, and sit back and watch the barbarian army attack."
"There are various rumors circulating in the market, saying that the eight thousand years of the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty are approaching. Either we will die from the Northern Barbarians, or we will die at the hands of some ambitious princes and kings!
The Immortal Emperor is old and unable to command his courtiers.
The prince is weak again, and the emperor's cultivation level is low.
Within a hundred years, there may be powerful princes and kings who may try to change the dynasty and establish a new dynasty. "
The captains of the Forbidden Army were all talking dejectedly, discussing the situation in low voices.
In fact, a few months ago, they would never have dared to discuss this matter publicly.
But now Chaoge City has fallen, refugees are coming, and the situation is dangerous. The Great Ji Immortal Dynasty was greatly shaken inside and outside, and people were already panicking.
"Shut up!
Our Great Ji Immortal Dynasty has accumulated so much wealth for eight thousand years!
Sitting in Luoyi, the most fertile royal land in China, there are also two natural passes, which are guarded east and west and are impregnable.
General Nangong fought against the barbarians in Muye. Regardless of victory or defeat, as long as the pass was not lost, Luoyi Imperial City would not be endangered.
The princes and kings of the world and the barbarians in the north cannot threaten the Luoyi Imperial City and Jiangshan Sheji of our Daji Immortal Dynasty!
Hum~!
These rebellious traitors want to change the dynasty, but that is wishful thinking! "
Yang Silang's sharp eyes glanced at the frustrated captains and said angrily.
The overall strength of the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty was actually far superior to that of the Northern Territory Barbarian Army.
It was just scattered in the hands of the Immortal Emperor and the vassal states.
He resented that these princes and kings were all ambitious and had ulterior motives. They sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, and refused to send troops to serve the king.
However, there was nothing he could do except be angry.
The Immortal Emperor is old enough to give orders to all the princes in the world. The princes are all patiently dormant, waiting for the Immortal Emperor to pass away. This is known to everyone.
Times are tough,
As a lieutenant general in the Imperial Guard who was responsible for public security in the imperial city, he had no choice but to drown his sorrows in wine.
"Gulu~!"
Yang Silang took a sip of strong drink.
After drinking a pot of strong wine, a fiery spiritual energy flow rose in his belly.
At his feet, a thin, snow-white dog lay lazily on the ground, breathing white air and its dark eyes constantly turning.
Suddenly, the thin dog perked up his ears alertly and glanced towards the city.
It suddenly stood up, showing its tallness and might, and bared its teeth in the direction of the Tongtong Alley in the city.
“There’s a big demon coming out!
Walk! Guys, come with me and take a look! What kind of monster is this, so bold and reckless, daring to show up in Luoyi! "
Yang Silang also sensed that something was wrong. He grabbed a spurge and "bang" it rose into the sky from the top of the city and shot towards Gutong Alley.
Several captains immediately followed.
As the Luoyi Forbidden Army, they have the responsibility of patrolling the city and keeping vigil at night, and they will never allow wild monsters to cause trouble in the city.
"Wow~!"
Almost within a few breaths,
The figures of these imperial guards wearing blazing red cloaks came through the air, suddenly flashed, and landed in the small earthen courtyard of Gutong Alley.
The small earth courtyard is covered with snow.
There was silence, no movement.
Yang Silang, the general of the royal forest, was wearing a fire-colored armor and a red cloak. He was standing in the courtyard of the small earth courtyard, holding a halberd. His majestic and murderous aura enveloped all directions.
Next to him was a mighty and tall thin dog.
The thin dog sniffed the snow in the small courtyard. When he walked to the door of the woodshed, he seemed to smell something, but he trembled all over and looked back at his master in horror.
The air here is filled with a very thin but extremely powerful demonic energy. It is clear that there is a big demon haunting this place!
Make it feel very scared.
If it hadn't been for its master again, it would probably turn around and run away.
"General Yang!
This demonic aura seems to be very similar to the aura of the great demon that appeared near the demon-locking well in Gutong Lane a few years ago? ! "
A Forbidden Army captain behind him thought of something and couldn't help but show fear.
Recalling that a few years ago, there was a demon disaster near the Suoyao Well in Gutong Lane. More than a dozen old houses were destroyed by the demon overnight, killing and injuring hundreds of people living here.
The generals of the Luoyi Imperial Guard came out in full force, but not even a single hair of the big demon was found.
Later, it was reported to the court and reported to the Immortal Emperor Daji and all the courtiers.
But for some reason, Immortal Emperor Daji closed his eyes and said nothing after listening, as if he was asleep. All the courtiers either raised their heads to look at the top of the Jinluan Palace, or lowered their heads and said nothing.
In the end, the matter was settled as if it had never happened.
The generals of the Imperial Guards immediately understood that this big monster... the Immortal Emperor didn't want to deal with it, the courtiers didn't dare to mess with it, and the soldiers like them couldn't afford to mess with it!
"However, this big demon appears again after a few years. Why does it appear in this inconspicuous earth courtyard house in Gutong Lane?
Injuring another person and leaving silently?
Sir, shall we summon the head of the household and question him? "
Another captain said doubtfully.
"never mind!"
Yang Silang thought for a moment and remembered the old cases from many years ago, which was also very difficult.
A few years ago, that terrifying existence that Immortal Emperor Daji and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were unwilling to mention... they all turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
He is just a lieutenant general in the Forbidden Army, how can he continue to investigate?
"Recently, there have been a large number of refugees who have fled into Luoyi City, and it is overcrowded. There are even aristocratic families who have temporarily settled in Gutong Lane, and there is a mix of good and bad.
If the news spread that a big demon is haunting Gutong Alley, it would probably cause unnecessary rumors and commotion, and even make people panic.
General Nangong Guang's wife came to the city with her family the day before yesterday and stayed temporarily in the large courtyard next door... Don't make any noise and disturb her family.
Otherwise, Yushitai will accuse me again of causing trouble to the Imperial Army!
Since nothing happened, there was no need to alarm nearby residents.
Let me track down the whereabouts of this demon first! "
This big demon didn't wreak havoc here, so there was no need for him to make the big demon's presence known to everyone.
Moreover, every household in Da Ji Immortal has the custom of keeping natal beasts in captivity, which can easily be confused with the scent of wild monsters.
Unless he is caught on the spot, it will be extremely difficult to trace the traces of this monster!
"Write down:
Winter Solstice, night.
Yang Silang, the lieutenant general of the imperial guard, patrolled the houses in Gutong Lane at night and suspected that he found traces of a big demon, but he was nowhere to be seen! No loss! "
Yang Silang ordered calmly.
He left a record to prove that he fulfilled his duties and did not neglect his duty of guarding and patrolling the city.
"yes!"
A captain of the imperial army immediately took out a jade slip of the "City Patrol Diary" from his arms and quickly wrote down the results of the patrol led by Zhonglang General Yang Silang tonight with his spiritual mind.
In this "City Patrol Diary", it records the traces of wild monsters in and around Luoyi City.
In the early years, such records were sparse, rarely seen more than a few times a year.
In recent years, the number of abnormal records has increased significantly.
Yang Silang looked at the courtyard again. This was a small earthen courtyard where ordinary people lived. There was nothing special about it.
He had no intention of chasing the big demon.
On the contrary, I am very curious, why did this big demon not destroy this house, and why did his aura disappear in front of the woodshed door of this small earth courtyard?
What's so strange about this woodshed!
Thinking of this, he accidentally pushed open the wood door in front of him and stepped in to take a look.
