It was noon, under cloudy conditions, and the temperature in Heyu City was lower than before, but the atmosphere inside and outside the city was extremely intense.
With the four-sided city gate as the core, more and more people have gathered in the city. These people are rich and poor, old and young. People who would never speak a word in their lives on ordinary days began to work for a common cause. The targets were shouting in tandem. They were excited, crowded and pushed. Many barefooted people took advantage of this situation and dared to take advantage of the chaos to attack the city gate guarded by the soldiers!
The well-trained soldiers of Heyu City were elite after all. Even if they were completely inferior in numbers, no one left their posts without permission. They formed a military formation, abandoned the checkpoints on the main street, and retreated near the city gate. No matter what the people did, they did not take a step back. .
With such a situation at the city gate, the streets and alleys in the city are gradually losing calm. People who were still watching were panicked after hearing about the martial law. The pillars of the family locked their families in their houses, and themselves But he ran around and spent all his life's energy to find out more true or false news...
Chaos abounds and there is no way to save it...
The world outside Heyu City was also not peaceful. As more and more people locked up their homes and began to move north, more dangerous rumors began to spread among the crowd. People who originally seemed unwilling to leave their homes no matter what, began to hesitate. Tangled, and then wiping away tears, they joined the procession of migrating north. Old, young, women and children embarked on a long road with no clue of tomorrow. Looking back, there was no way out...
The building ten miles south of Heyu City is located along the river.
The village that was built was now empty. In the highest courtyard, the Calabash Taoist Priest, the young female Taoist priest, and the Zhang brothers were closing their eyes and adjusting their breaths. Only Luochuan and Luo Chuan were still standing on the roof looking at Heyu City. Shadow two.
Suddenly, a gust of breeze fell from the sky. Luochuan and the others looked up and saw that the scene in the sky had a refraction-like image, and a vague outline of a fusiform flying boat appeared, and then it emerged. There was a person on the boat. It was the long-bearded Taoist Niu Dexin who controlled the Huntian Shuttle.
Niu Dexin jumped off the Huntian Shuttle and put it away. He took a look at the situation in the courtyard and the blue light that reached the sky not far away. He came to Luochuan and asked, "Master Taishou, have Zhang Biao and Junior Brother Qin gone on a lookout?"
"Senior Wan Song went to the sky to watch. Taoist Zhang asked me to send him to the north of Heyu City to inform the people in the north about moving north," Luo Chuan said, looking to the east, and saw a burly Taoist priest coming with a sword, blinking Suddenly, he flew close to them and landed on the ridge of the roof. It was Xiao Zhan. "Is everything going well, Master Xiao?"
"It went well. The people outside Heyu City were probably in panic. After hearing the news, many people immediately thought of moving north." Xiao Zhan nodded, and then looked to the north, past the blue light that penetrated the sky and the earth and the river. Yucheng looked further away, "The governor asked Zhang Biao to rush to the north of Heyucheng in advance..." He paused and looked back at Luochuan, "But I think the beast tide may arrive sooner than us. Expected to be earlier?”
Shadow was silent, but the long-bearded old Taoist was a little confused when he heard this and couldn't help but look at Luochuan.
Luochuan did not answer directly and looked at He Yucheng's
His eyes were a little cold, "For the sake of Heyu City, Nanyi moved many beasts from the mountains in the south of Lijun and Yongchang County to the south of the mountains in Lijun. There was indeed a tide of beasts before you and I came to Yongchang County. Moving eastward, you can follow the speed of the beast tide. If you want to reach the south of the mountains of Yongchang, and then cross the mountains to reach Yongchang, it will take more than ten days at the fastest. It cannot be earlier, but Nanyi Zhongsan The monsters from the lower realms and even the lower three realms, as well as the relatively mild monsters that they can control, will definitely arrive in Yongchang much earlier, not to mention if there are reinforcements from the upper three realms..." Luo Chuan hands He rolled up his sleeves and said in a low voice, "If not for this, it would be difficult for the true demons in Heyu City to make such a decision."
This time, even Xiao Zhan was a little confused, "As far as the overall situation of Nanyi is concerned, as long as the monsters in the city can hold the big formation in the city without losing it, it will be a great achievement. They have no reason to rush out of the city to wait with me. Isn’t it the reason why they want stability in this battle that the Grand Administrator asked Senior Sister Qingyun and I to take action openly outside the city?”
Luo Chuan shook his head, "Today's attack was actually more of a test to have a rough judgment on the strength of the monsters in the city. At the moment, it seems that we are acting so arrogantly, and although their response is conservative, they are not panicking. , even dispatching the big ones and releasing the small ones within the city to ensure that the army is not lost, and does not care about the trouble that may be caused by the chaos of hundreds of thousands of people, which shows that he is extremely confident, and this confidence certainly comes from the sense of superiority in strength. "
"But this sense of superiority did not become the reason for them to leave the city rashly. Firstly, the real demon in charge acted steadily and honestly, and He
Yucheng has been laid out for more than half a year. It is impossible for people like this to take on this important task. Secondly, their strength is not much higher than ours. If there are two true demons in the city, how can senior Qingyun be allowed in the city? "We are so flamboyant outside," Luo Chuan snorted, "Thirdly, the Nanyi reinforcements may arrive sooner than we thought, otherwise even if they do not have an advantage in strength, they will not be able to tolerate me waiting. Acting like this, especially when we went south from Wuming City and headed straight outside Heyu City, we were sure to win their plot in Heyu City. In the game of high-end combat power, city walls and cities were meaningless. In this way, we could not defend this place. As time goes by, a city will inevitably suffer losses. "
Xiao Zhan frowned and thought deeply, "So the governor is not worried that the people south of Heyu City will not have time to move north to escape, but is worried that I will not have enough time to inform the people around me?!"
Luo Chuan nodded and looked back at Xiao Zhan and Changxu Lao Dao, "Originally, I planned to conduct further tests on the walls of Heyu City and even inside the city tonight to further determine the actual situation in the city, but for now, I have to do something. It’s a dangerous thing.”
Xiao Zhan nodded, and the old Taoist with a long beard also understood what he heard. He smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to us, Lord Taishou? We promised to take risks when we first came here. Now that we are at a critical juncture, there is no room for any hesitation. It's just a matter of going south for a few days." It’s just a day.”
Xiao Zhan also said, "That's right, Lord Taishou, you don't have to worry about our safety. Wangchuan sword cultivators are all good at fighting. Even if we enter the mountains of southern Xinjiang, we will still have a way to survive, let alone still in our Central Continent." The boundary of the land is the prefect himself, so you must be careful
, we must not take risks, otherwise we will lose everything in this trip. "
"Don't worry, Taoist Xiao, Luo is very afraid of death," Luo Chuan nodded.
Xiao Zhan smiled when he heard this, and then asked solemnly, "How many people are needed for this trip south? Does the prefect have any other instructions?"
Luo Chuan looked at Xiao and Niu and straightened his expression, "This time, there are still three people going south, Dao Zhang Niu, Dao Zhang Xiao, and Dao Zhang Song. The land south of Heyu City is open and there are many villages. We can't spend too much time in it. , time is of the essence, we should go from south to north, with three places being the top priority.”
"Which three places?" the long-bearded old man asked.
It was Xiao Zhan who answered, "Those three military towns?!"
