In Anyang County, the city gates to the north and west of Yuanbei City are open. The merchant fleets moving north and west are in a line. Not far behind each fleet, there will be a group of thinly dressed people following them. They may There are groups of three or five, or a solitary and thin figure, carrying some simple luggage, following like moving ants.
In a spacious private room at the back of the second floor of the restaurant at the intersection closest to the West City Gate, a young man from a rich family with fair skin sat by the window. He held a half-open folding fan in his hand, covering the lower half of his face, leaving only the lower half of his face exposed. With a pair of eyes, he turned his head and looked out the window, looking at the convoys and people lining up at the gate of the city who had never returned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
There was a faint explosion from the far south of the city, followed by a dense noise rolling in.
The young man seemed to be used to it and did not move his eyes at all. However, when he looked at the similarly numb migrating people downstairs, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the private room opened slightly and then closed slowly. A tall figure Shi Shiran, wrapped in a black tights, walked in, stood in the shadow of the window opposite the young man, and spoke with the only exposed Looking at the crowd of people outside the window, the one who spoke was a female voice,
"There is another tide of beasts on the Yuan River trying to cross the river. This time, there should be rare ice-type monsters hidden in the tide of beasts on the other side. Taking advantage of the climate that is getting colder day by day, we have built an unusual channel on the Yuan River. A wide but thick frosty road." When the young man heard this, his seemingly dull eyes moved slightly, and he spoke, with a clear and moving voice, and it was also a female voice,
"Although this section of the Yuan River south of Yuanbei City belongs to the upper reaches, the river is not too narrow. How can a passage be easily built? What about the defenders south of Yuanbei City? They actually watched the other side do this. ?" The corners of the man's mouth under the black gauze seemed to be turned up,
"The water flow in the upper reaches of the Yuan River is not urgent, and the water speed is not fast. There must be a big monster from the upper three realms in the beast tide on the other side. The beast tide moves in a very orderly manner. The frost passage was quietly built last night, so the beast tide is still there at night The many changes were confusing, and the group of veteran soldiers in Yuanbeicheng didn't have many decent men. Even if someone noticed the changes on the river, they didn't dare to send people out of the city. In the end, they just dragged them until dawn, waiting for Xiaoyao Valley to arrive. A guardian fairy climbed up the city wall, and then organized a group of monks in the third realm to cover five thousand-man military formations and fight out of the city. However, before they could reach the dock on the bank of the Yuan River, they encountered a tide of beasts. The attack made it impossible to advance or retreat for a while." The girl dressed as a teenager listened quietly, her eyes still looking out the window, and this time there was no reaction at all.
The man in black continued,
"Then waves of reinforcements rushed out of the city. The monsters from the third realm and above on the other side drove away the monsters in the beast tide and rushed to kill them, causing some damage. However, in the end, there were enough Anyang troops in Yuanbei City. Human life filled a path and rushed to the north bank of the Yuan River, destroying the frost passage. Those things that had lost their intelligence fell into the water with a splash. Then, the demons from the Third Realm on the north bank fled across the Yuan River and back to the south bank. The scale of the beast tide trapped north of Yuan River was not large. Even if there were some difficult monsters among them, they were eventually slaughtered by the Anyang Army. However, the damage suffered by the Anyang Army after this battle was not small. The people behind Yuanbei City The trouble is still big. After all, the weather is not cold enough now. When winter comes..."
"The big demon south of Yuan River has never taken action?" the girl asked. The man in black shook his head,
"No." the girl asked again,
"Excluding today's battle, we have fought several battles with Nanyi around Yuanbei City in the past few days. Is there any talk in the Anyang army, especially among the middle and lower-level officers?"
"Of course there are discussions, and most of them are complaints. After all, Anyang County has lived a peaceful and prosperous life for a long time. How can there be a few families of men who are willing to work hard?" The man in black snorted disdainfully, but thought After thinking for a while, he said,
"But at night last night, I heard a few young generals sneaking around the fire and saying something, which might be of some use."
"Oh?" The girl saw the man in black pause, and when she looked over, she met a pair of smiling eyes, and she couldn't help but smile brightly,
"Sister Mingyue, are you following me?"
"That's not true," the man in black turned his head to look out the window.
"A hundred generals said that a few days ago, when thousands of people were out of the city to eliminate demons, he saw with his own eyes that several soldiers not far away had their heads cut off by a line of blood." She paused and turned back. Come on, I saw that the girl’s voice was a little low and slow,
"But the strange thing is that those soldiers without heads did not spurt a drop of blood from their empty necks! They all flew away along the blood line!!" After finishing his words, the man sitting opposite the man in black The girl's face really changed.
"Bloodline?! I remember you once told me that there is a very evil Yaoyi sect in Nanyi, which is famous for its blood refining?!"
"That's right, that sect is called Blood Spring Mountain. The people this Hundred Generals encountered should be people from Blood Spring Mountain. This sect kills people like this. It's eerie, cruel and cruel, and it's hard to guard against. "The man in black smiled slightly, raised his chin and said,
"How about it? Now people from the Blood Spring Mountain have appeared around Yuan Beicheng. Aren't you ready to return to An City with me?" The girl's face changed several times, and then she straightened up with great solemnity and stared at the man in black. asked seriously with his eyes,
"Sister Mingyue, in today's battle by the Yuan River, it's possible to tell which sects of Nanyi the Yaoyi are from?" Seeing her seriousness, the man in black didn't dare to neglect anymore. He lowered his head and recalled for a moment before saying slowly. ,
"I don't go to the mountains of southern Xinjiang many times to do things, but I have seen some Nanyi methods. The ones I can definitely recognize are the poison control technique in Wanchong Valley and the blood burning technique in Blood Spring Mountain. There are also a few people whose methods are weird and have never been seen before, but they are extremely vicious, specializing in hurting people and taking lives. I guess it is the most mysterious girl among the legendary six Nanyi sects, frowning.
"Have you never seen the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Sun Moon Lake and the Valley?!" The man in black also understood the girl's meaning at this time, his eyes gradually narrowed, and his tone became more solemn,
"I'm a little unsure about the methods of the demons from Riyue Lake and Yougu, but the Ten Thousand Poison Sect has been dealing with Li County for hundreds of years. I'm very sure that none of the demons from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect are among the demons that invaded today. , even in the few small-scale battles I have seen in recent days, the methods behind the monsters are definitely not those of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect!" The girl sat back in the chair and murmured to herself,
"The ones who previously broke through the first and second lines of defense in Anyang County and captured Nankou City. Judging from the news announced by Anyang County, it is undoubtedly the three major sects of Wandu Sect, Riyue Lake and Yougu, and Wanchong Valley. The monsters and barbarians who were assisted by them gathered together, and now the defense of Yuanhe in Anyang County was full of loopholes. It was about to break through Yuanhe and enter the most fertile core hinterland of Anyang County. The three major sects actually let go at this time. They must have other plans. ....." The man in black stared at the girl without saying a word.
The girl pondered for a long time, then asked someone to get pen and paper, quickly wrote a letter in front of the man in black, sealed it herself, and checked it again before handing it to the man in black.
"The highest, most urgent, fastest, let the young master receive it!!" The man in black took the letter, turned around, and disappeared.
