Chapter 145 The only hope (two in one)

  The night is like ink, and the full moon hangs high.

  Huanglongji is located at the intersection of Wanxing Mountains, Guanyin Mountains and Qianliu River.

  This used to be the most common post station along the official road, but the geographical advantages have allowed this place to develop from a remote post station to a commercial market in the wild for thousands of years.

  Countless caravan groups stop here, and all kinds of entertainment shops are connected together, making this a city that never sleeps without walls.

  The hustle and bustle of feasting and feasting is not affected by the night, brothels, goulan, casino flower boats, countless business travelers sink here.

  Suddenly,

  The group drove into the convoy from the entrance of the east gate of the market and immediately attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street.

  The black coiled dragon on the body of fragrant phosphorous sandalwood is lifelike, and several sect disciples with demonic horses walk in front of the carriage, walking with swords in fresh clothes and angry horses.

  If anyone on the street dares to probe the cultivation of this line of young heroes with his mind and soul, he will find that the cultivation of these people is all above the fifth rank.

   Walking at the forefront of the convoy, a man and a woman are even as high as a third-rank grand master. The men are dressed in plain clothes with long hair and shawls, and the women are in carved clothes with enchanting curves.

  The two of them glanced at the surrounding crowd, and their eyes retreated one after another.

  Look around,

  Riding at the front of the convoy, the man in plain clothes smiled softly:

   “This Huanglongji is still so lively, but it hasn’t changed much.”

  The woman on the side heard the words, and replied calmly:

   “It’s only been three months since we left for Jingjiang Prefecture, so naturally there won’t be much change.”

  The man in plain clothes laughed and said:

   “That’s true. Although the trip was in vain, luckily Xinyao’s third brother didn’t have any accidents. It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see him.”

  When the vigorous man heard the plain-clothed man talk about Xinyao’s third brother, the woman’s eyes were full of disdain:

   “A dandy who only knows how to eat and drink, what is there to see?”

  The man in plain clothes laughed when he heard the words, very free and easy:

  ”This is just a rumor. It is too superficial to judge whether a person is good or bad by relying on rumors. If I see it with my own eyes, I will make a judgment myself.”

   As he spoke, the man in plain clothes seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked in a low voice:

   “Ziqing, I remember you stayed in Dijing for a while, and met Xinyao, the third brother?”

  Ziqing shook her head lightly, her soft long hair fluttering gently:

  ”There’s nothing to say, I just met once from a distance, leading the group of so-called “Four Young Masters of the Capital” to swagger through the city and do some bullying things. The gap between heaven and earth.”

   “Ziqing. My third brother is also a poor man.”

  Suddenly, a soft female voice came from the black dragon carriage behind the two.

  “.”

  The two of them unconsciously slowed down when they heard this voice.

  The curtain of the black Beaulieu carriage was left from inside, and a young woman appeared within the sight of the two.

  Wearing water blue clothing, lightly embroidered peach blossoms, elegant style, tall and slender, with black silk tied into a tall beauty bun, the collar is slightly open, revealing a curvaceous, white and slender neck. The blue clothes set off her skin like snow, and there was a habitual smile on her lips.

  At first glance, a feeling of gentleness like water, like a spring breeze arises in my heart.

  Zhou Ziqing shook his head lightly and did not speak again, but he did not take back his comments on Xu Changtian just now.

  The man in plain clothes on the side grinned directly when he saw this, and said:

   “Sandwiched between Xu Changge, Xu Changan and Xinyao, let alone Xu Changtian is an ordinary person who can’t practice, if it were me, I would feel very pitiful.”

  Xu Xinyao’s eyes were a little sad:

   “Zhonghua is right, but I heard from people in the Jingjiang government office that my third brother seems to have gotten some opportunities and changed a lot.”

  Speaking,

  The girl’s beautiful eyes are bent, with some strange light in her eyes:

   “This time he actually took the initiative to talk to his elder brother about going out for training.”

  Li Zhonghua smiled lightly and shook his head:

   “It’s just a pity that I won’t be able to see your third brother Xinyao this time when I go down the mountain.”

  Xu Xinyao’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly:

   “Zhonghua, are you going back to Yaoyue Mountain?”

  Li Zhonghua nodded and smiled:

   “Well, the teacher sent me a message a few days ago, it’s time to go back.”

  Xu Xinyao remained silent for a while, Rururu Qiushui’s eyes flickered slightly as she stared at the man:

   “It’s been a hard journey for Zhong Hua.”

  Li Zhonghua laughed dumbfounded when he heard the words, shook his head, and spoke in a leisurely and direct manner while driving the horse:

  ”It’s a downhill experience, but I never thought that I would meet a strange woman like you, Miss Xinyao. It’s a pity that I can’t continue to accompany you to travel the world.”

  Xu Xinyao blinked her beautiful eyes:

   “Zhonghua was joking, what kind of strange woman is Xinyao.”

  Li Zhonghua’s tone was serious, and he said:

  ”Xinyao, I, Li Zhonghua, have spent most of my life in the mountain gate. I can’t get rid of evil at all, and I can’t help with kindness. Killing one monster can save ten people, but there are too many monsters in this world.

   “And after getting acquainted with you, Xinyao, we walked all the way for only a year, and the number of people who were rescued by you, Xinyao, survived is more than a million? It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish , this kind of credit can’t be called a strange woman, who can be called it?”

   “Tsk, Li Zhonghua is so nasty.”

   Zhou Ziqing on the side glanced at Li Zhonghua, his eyes were a little funny: “I like us Xinyao so much, why don’t you let your master go to the Xiangguo Mansion to propose marriage?”

   “I would like to.”

  Li Zhonghua was also free and easy when he heard this, he just shook his head with a smile:

  ”But I know I’m not good enough for Xinyao, so I don’t want to make fun of myself.”

   “It’s because Xinyao is not good enough for you, brother Zhonghua.”

  Xu Xinyao in the carriage shook her head lightly: “Without Zhonghua and Ziqing’s protection, Xinyao might have died many times along the way.”

  Zhou Ziqing’s beautiful eyes slightly curved, and said with a smile:

   “Since I thank you, Xinyao will be the host tonight, and I will give this guy Li Zhonghua a gift. I don’t know when we will meet again.”

   “tsk”

  Li Zhonghua smacked his lips, his words were dissatisfied, and he took the scabbard to knock Zhou Ziqing’s ass:

   “Zhou Ziqing, why do I feel like you are urging me to leave quickly? Although the teacher is urging me to go back, at least I can finish the trip to Shengshan County.”

  Zhou Ziqing took the sword to fight away, glared at him and ignored him, then turned to Xu Xinyao and asked:

   “By the way, Xinyao, why do you insist on going back to Shengshan County to have a look? Recently, the spring tide in Wanxing Mountains has started again, and there are more and more monsters in this area.”

  Xu Xinyao was slightly silent when she heard the words, and said softly:

  ”Because of the third brother’s matter, the phantom formation was not completed, so I left first, and I have to go back to see if the formation is perfect.”

  Zhou Ziqing was slightly surprised when he heard the words, and said in a low voice:

   “Didn’t we activate the formation to verify the power of the phantom fog formation before we left?”

  Xu Xinyao’s beautiful eyes slightly bent, and she said in a low voice:

  ”The activation of the formation was only to verify the power. Many processes at the core of the formation have not been fully implemented. It is best to go back and have a look.”

  Li Zhonghua’s words are still simple and direct:

   “Xinyao, are you worried that Wanxiangzong will do something to you after you leave?”

   “Hmm.”

  ”Why?”

  “.”

  Xu Xinyao remained silent for a while, looking in the direction of Shengshan County through the night:

   “Things in Shengshan County are going very well.

  ”Although the formation of the Wanxiang sect can get a lot of things, but they promised too simply, I always feel that they are hiding something.”

  Shengshan County,

  Besides the phantom fog array, all kinds of monsters gathered from far away along the black lacquered mountain forest towards Shengshan County, attracted by the scent of beast lure.

  In the phantom fog formation, the bloody killing is still going on.

  The army formation formed by the Shengshan frontier army outside the city was like a flesh and blood mill, wave after wave of snarky monsters rushed out of the mist, and wave after wave were crushed into piles of bones by the army formation.

  The corpses of all kinds of monsters have piled up outside the city to form hills, but unfortunately, the number of monsters gushing out of the fog outlet still shows no sign of decreasing.

  Xu Xinyao’s phantom fog formation is a trapping formation.

  This is a powerful trapping formation visible to the naked eye, which can trap tens of thousands of monsters that will attack.

  But at the same time, it is just a trap.

  The array itself cannot effectively kill the monsters, so it can only be diverted out in batches, and finally handed over to the Shengshan frontier army to do it himself.

  It has been three hours since the Shengshan frontier army came out of the city to form an array to slaughter monsters.

  Wanxiangzong is still methodically throwing monsters into the formation by boiling frogs in warm water, and the Shengshan frontier army has formed an army formation, and some people have begun to lose their strength.

  According to this speed, the first casualty will appear soon tonight, and once there is a casualty, it is just the beginning.

  In a bleak silence,

   Captain Wang stared at the dark mist in the distance, and his voice was very soft:

   “Young Master Zhou, if I break out, will the Wanxiang sect let the people in this formation go?”

  Xiaowei Wang accepted the reality very quickly, and he also responded quickly.

  Shengshan frontier army breaks out, which means that if Wanxiangzong continues its plan to massacre the city, what they did will be known to the outside world.

  Thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement, but in the end he shook his head slightly:

   “No.”

  ”Why?” Captain Wang suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Xu Yuan.

  Xu Yuan said every word: “There is no evidence.”

  People and monsters will breed Yin Qi after death, but ghost fog will not be produced immediately.

  This is a relatively long process.

  As long as the Wanxiang sect is not stupid, they will most likely only tamper with the phantom fog formation and the city defense formation, and will not rush to engrave other formations that restrict ghost fog.

  Because as long as people are dead, they have enough time and energy to do these things during the period when the corpse breeds ghost fog.

   In other words,

  At this time, even if people in Shengshan County die, it is because of a problem with the formation.

  As for breaking out of the encirclement to declare the world?

  Ah sir, our Wanxiang sect contributed money and efforts to build a large formation for you, and your frontier army in Shengshan County escaped out of fear of dying and not defending the city, and bit us back?

  It is said that we repair ghost fog, so here is the evidence.

  We have built a formation to nourish Yin Qi in Shengshan County?

  Under the swaying of the firelight,

  The knife-like wrinkles on Xiaowei Wang’s face seemed to be getting deeper, and his voice was low and hoarse:

   “But we know.”

  He pointed at the fog that covered the sky, his fingers trembling slightly:

   “This phantom fog formation was built by the Vientiane Sect, but something went wrong at this time. No matter how they say it, they can’t escape the blame!”

  The sound echoed softly, and the city wall was quiet for a moment,

  Xu Yuan shook his head, with a low tone:

   “Lieutenant Wang, it’s useless.”

  ”I have been walking all the way, no matter whether it is a merchant or a disciple of the sect, I think that the builder of this phantom mist formation is the fourth lady of the Xiangguo Mansion, not the Wanxiang sect. The Wanxiang sect is only responsible for providing Materials and silver.”

   Speaking of this, Xu Yuan paused:

  ”Besides, you said earlier that Xu Xinyao left before the completion of the big formation project, but it is rumored that Xu Xinyao left after the acceptance of the big formation took effect. She made it.”

   Captain Wang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:

  ”The reason for starting the big formation was to verify the efficacy of the phantom formation fog, not for acceptance.”

  ”But none of you denied it before.” Xu Yuan said.

  Wang Xiaowei’s voice trembled a little: “Miss Xu has done so many things for me in Shengshan County. How can my Shengshan frontier army deny this reputation?”

   “So it’s all the same.”

  Xu Yuan looked at the phantom fog formation: “There is no way to investigate this kind of thing.”

   Captain Wang’s voice suppressed his anger:

   “You mean Miss Xu’s identity has become the protection of this group of sons and daughters of the Vientiane Sect?!”

  Xu Yuan was silent for a while, then nodded:

  “As far as the current situation is concerned, this is the case.

  ”Even if Xu Xinyao is willing to testify afterwards, it seems to the outside world that she just did it for her own reputation.

  ”And,

  ”The identity of the fourth lady of the Xiangguo Mansion will largely affect the judgment of the court investigators. After all, her adoptive father is the current prime minister.”

  ”If the Wanxiang Sect had prepared more fully, even if the Shengshan frontier army could break through the encirclement, there is a high probability that they will be labeled as fleeing the battle, and what you say will become a lie compiled to get rid of the crime.”

   Captain Wang’s voice seemed to be much older, pointing to the inside and outside of the city:

   “That is to say, these 400,000 people will definitely die?”

  Xu Yuan looked at Captain Wang, took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

   “There is a way, but the chances are slim.”

   “What way?” Captain Wang asked immediately, with a rare flash of hope in his eyes again.

  ”Today’s array technology can’t achieve long-distance control.”

  Xu Yuan’s voice was not in a hurry: “That is to say, if Wanxiangzong wants to control the phantom fog formation, it will inevitably set up a control point near Shengshan County. My senior sister and I made a breakthrough, we went out to find people and killed them, and used that formation to control the phantom formation.”

  Wang Xiaowei hesitated slightly when he heard the words:

   “Will the Wanxiang sect have strong people waiting there?”

  Xu Yuan nodded:

  ”There will definitely be a strong person, but the strength will definitely not be too strong, at most it will be a third-rank grand master.”

   “Why?” Captain Wang frowned.

  Xu Yuan quickly and steadily analyzed: “The overall strength of the Wanxiang Sect is very strong, but it is not strong enough to cultivate the second grade Yuanchu silently. Yuanchu is basically famous and well-known, if these people make a move, once they leave traces, it is tantamount to confirming the fact that the Wanxiang sect is going to massacre the city, and the Wanxiang sect cannot take this risk.”

  “.”

  The voice fell, and the air was quiet for a moment,

   Without the slightest hesitation, the burly frontier soldier bent his legs and knelt directly on the ground.

  “.”

  Xu Yuan frowned, and was about to help him up, but the other party knelt so hard that he couldn’t help him up.

   Wang Xiaowei cupped his fists and bowed to Xu Yuan:

   “Shengshan County, thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your kindness.”

  Xu Yuan frowned and said in a low voice:

   “Lieutenant Wang, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to find that control point.

  ”And,

  ”This does not convict the Wanxiang sect.”

   Captain Wang shook his head and grinned:

   “Young Master Zhou, at least now these 400,000 people have a chance to survive.”

   Temporary double update today, tomorrow will make up yesterday’s
