"Ahh Cao Zijun responded. Looking around at the deserted bamboo courtyard, he smiled wryly, "I didn't expect us to end up like this." ”

Lu Fengxin said: "Fortunately, Zigu was bold and proposed to the elder brother to wash away the bad deeds with his military exploits, and now the battle of the demons is the time to employ people, and the elder brother in charge is magnanimous, so that a few children can go to the battlefield and accumulate meritorious deeds." ”

"They can only perform the most dangerous missions on the battlefield, I'm really worried about ......" Cao Zijun's expression was gloomy.

"Don't worry about Lao Cao," Lu Fengxin smiled slightly, "Even the little chubby dun has woken up and knows what kind of world he lives in, as long as he is willing to fight, how can our children be worse than others? After saying that, he stretched out his hand and summoned Abu, who had grown to more than seven feet tall, from the sky and carried her away.

Looking at Lu Fengxin's back, Cao Zijun couldn't help but think back to his big voice at the beginning, and silently thought in his heart: Under the catastrophe, we are all changing to a greater or lesser extent, it seems that tribulation cannot knock people down, but a peaceful life, the most exhausting will. The peak master is gone, and I understand how much wind and rain he has shielded us from before.

"Master, is the master back?" A girl of about six years old staggered out of the bamboo house, flashing her cute big eyes, and looked out of the house, seeing that it was Cao Zijun, the look of anticipation in her big eyes disappeared, and turned into a distressing loneliness. "It's Grandpa Zijun, you're back, Fu'er greets you. She bowed her hand in a similar manner.

"Xiao Xiaofu is so good, come, this is the rock sugar gourd and roast chicken that grandpa brought back to you, they are your favorite food. Cao Zijun looked at Fu'er with complicated eyes, a smile on his face, and took out two paper bags.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zijun. Fu'er thanked her obediently and walked back with two bags of things.

Cao Zijun looked at Fu'er's lonely back, and his nose couldn't help but be sour. He saw this child with his own eyes, the longer he grew smaller and smaller, and he didn't know how many doctors he had consulted, but he couldn't find the cause.

After Yanli was banished, everyone hid from Fu'er, but Fu'er seemed to have a guess, never noisy or noisy, but whenever she heard footsteps, she had to come out to see, which made people sad and distressed.

"Alas!"

Cao Zijun couldn't help but sigh, and was about to go back to his house to recuperate, when he suddenly saw two sword lights passing over the bamboo forest, his hearing was sharp, and he unexpectedly heard the words of one of the sword lights.

"Have you heard about it, that Yan Li has appeared again, and there has been a lot of trouble in the human world for a while. ”

When Cao Zijun heard this, his heart jumped violently, and he hurriedly shouted to Jian Guang: "Two stay here!"

The two sword lights had flown out for several miles, turned back, pressed the sword lights in front of the bamboo house, and saluted Cao Zijun in both directions: "What does Elder Cao command?" "Despite the bleak situation of Hidden Sword Peak, ordinary disciples still had to show respect when they saw the elder.

Cao Zijun looked at the bamboo house where Fu'er was, waved his hand to open the ban, and then said, "I heard the word 'Yanli' just now, what are you two discussing?"

The two disciples glanced at each other, and one of them said, "Elder Cao, haven't you read the latest volume of the Heavenly Machine Book, your disciple is Senior Brother Yan, who has escaped from the end of the world, and is now making trouble in the human world." ”

"Really?" Cao Zijun's heart was turbulent, and his voice trembled, "Really?"

"It's true, the Heavenly Machine Book has been reported for several days. The disciple said.

"Okay, great......" Cao Zijun clenched his fists excitedly, but quickly calmed down. He saw that the two disciples belonged to Heavenly Sword Peak, so he asked again, "What does the Sect Master say about this matter?"

The disciple said: "The head of the sect is in retreat, and he has not yet expressed his position. However, Elder Chang of the Chuangong Yuan has already submitted an application to the Law Enforcement Yuan to 'clean up the portal', and it is said that the Law Enforcement Yuan is preparing to send a mine ......."

"Lei Ministry!" Cao Zijun's face changed.

The two glanced at each other and said with a wry smile: "Elder Cao, these news are all hearsay, whether it is accurate or not, we don't know, if you have nothing else, we will retreat first." ”

"Well, thank you very much. Cao Zijun let out a sigh of relief.

"You're welcome. The two disciples gave their own salutes and then turned into light.

"Lei Bu ......" Cao Zijun muttered to himself, "But the head of the sect doesn't know what attitude ......" He made a decision suddenly, calmed down, and shouted to the bamboo house where Fu'er was, "Little Fu, grandpa will go to Tianjian Peak and come back soon, you don't run around obediently, you know?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Zijun, Fu'er won't go anywhere, just wait for the master here. ”

Cao Zijun felt sour in his heart when he heard this, but he was in high spirits soon, your master is coming back, this time, I don't want this old face, but also to keep him!

The radius of Tianzhu Mountain is about more than 3,000 li, and the li here refers to the "five families are neighbors, and the five neighbors are li" in the period of the Fifteen Kingdoms, and the distance is calculated according to the distance unit, and the radius is about 750 li. However, a radius of seven hundred and fifty miles is already equivalent to the entire territory of the Giant Deer Realm.

However, if Edgeworth flies, it can turn around in a few hours. The place where Cao Zijun went, but it was the newly built dojo of Tianjian Peak on Tianzhu Mountain, which was more magnificent and expansive than the old dojo, and in the center of the dojo, a huge square surrounded by dozens of palace groups was enough to accommodate 200,000 people.

Six years have passed, and the number of disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak has also reached the 150,000 mark, entering the stage of steady development. The original site of Tianjian Peak has now become the base camp of the Law Enforcement Institute, and the power of the Law Enforcement Institute has also risen with the tide, and there is a faint tendency to become an independent line.

Cao Zijun didn't have time to observe the changes in Tianzhu Mountain, he went straight to the entrance of the dojo, and before he could press the flying sword, he heard a loud shout: "Which lineage disciple is unruly, don't you know that the Heavenly Sword Peak is heavy and cannot be used to control the sword?"

"It's me. Cao Zijun pressed the flying sword, showed his figure in the entrance archway, and said to a few disciples guarding the door, "I have an urgent matter to meet the master." ”

"It turned out to be Elder Cao. When the disciples on duty saw that it was Cao Zijun, they couldn't help laughing, and one of them sneered, "Who is Elder Cao who is in charge of the sect, you can see it when you say it?" Also, you are in the Heavenly Sword Peak Dojo Imperial Sword, and it is clear that you don't take the sect in your eyes, do you want to rebel?"

Cao Zijun's eyes flashed with a faint and cold light: "First, I didn't have a sword within the dojo; second, you slandered an elder for rebellion, and when I sued the Law Enforcement Yuan, I will treat you for a crime of rebellion and immorality, and lock you in the sword prison for seven years, see if you dare to say anything!"

The disciple's face changed, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Elder Cao raised his noble hand, the disciple said the wrong thing, and he won't dare to do it next time." ”

"Hmph, I want to meet the master, what do you say?" Cao Zijun said coldly.

"Elder Cao, if you are in charge of the retreat and order no one to disturb us, we are helpless. ”

"In that case, where is Feng Jiu?"

"Senior Brother is here," the disciple rolled his eyes and said in a pinched tone, "However, the Tibetan Sword Peak is now full of sin, but it is not suitable to step into the sacred Heavenly Sword Peak, if Elder Cao has an urgent matter, he can deliver it to the disciple, and the disciple will help you convey it." ”

Cao Zijun's face was pale, he had been busy all these years and completed the next assignment, just to let Zang Jianfeng get rid of the influence as soon as possible, but he didn't know that now Jianfeng didn't even let him step on the door today, it was too deceitful.

"That's enough! let Elder Cao in!" a stern voice suddenly sounded on the steps behind the archway.

Cao Zijun looked up and saw that it was Feng Jiu, he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the disciples on duty, he walked up the steps and said to Feng Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, you came just in time, I have something to talk to you about." ”

"Elder Cao, don't worry about these villains, please come to the house and talk. Feng Jiu nodded, and the front led the way.

When he arrived at a quiet courtyard, Feng Jiu invited Cao Zijun to sit in the pavilion, and then took out the tea to boil, while saying: "Tianjian Peak has expanded too fast over the years, resulting in uneven disciples. There was helplessness in his words.

Cao Zijun said: "Xiao Jiu, I know that now is a difficult stage for you: the sect is in charge of the young and strong, and the Heavenly Sword Peak is expanding all the time, and most of the elders who support you have no real power, and they have real power, and they are close to the Law Enforcement Academy, which makes you very constrained, and they should not have come to bother you." ”

Feng Jiu pushed the hot teacup in front of Cao Zijun: "Where is Elder Cao, Uncle Little Sword Master treated me like a personal heirloom when he was alive, and anyone from Tibetan Sword Peak is welcome to come at any time." "He has been trained over the years, and his hands have gained some strength.

Cao Zijun perked up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll say what I mean." Xiao Jiu has read the Heavenly Machine Book?"

"Yes. Feng Jiu probably guessed Cao Zijun's intention, and said with a smile, "It's for Senior Brother Yan's business, right?"

Cao Zijun gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Jiu, do you know, what kind of person the Lord of Little Sword Peak is, if Yan Li really betrayed the Dao Sect and took refuge in the Demon Clan, how could he defend it desperately?"

"That's right. Feng Jiu nodded.

"I heard that the Law Enforcement Department has transferred the Thunder Department and wants to 'clean up the portal'!" Cao Zijun said, kneeling down, "Xiao Jiu, please mediate from it no matter what, don't chill Yan Li's heart and make him deviate from the Sword Court." ”

Feng Jiu was taken aback, and hurriedly helped Cao Zijun up: "Elder Cao, you have tormented your disciple, Senior Brother Yan is my junior brother, even if you don't say it, I will definitely not sit idly by." He helped Cao Zijun to sit on the stone bench, and then lowered his face and shouted outside: "Wu Qi!"

"Senior brother!" a disciple immediately ran in from outside the courtyard.

Feng Jiu asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, the Law Enforcement Department transferred the Thunder Subordinate to the Nether Realm, why don't I know about this matter?"

Wu Qi broke out in a cold sweat, he was the highest-ranking prison around Feng Jiu, in charge of many affairs, if there was a dereliction of duty and was questioned, it would be unlucky. "Senior Brother, I don't know about this matter either, I'll go check it out right now, you and Elder Cao wait for a while. As he spoke, he turned and ran out. He was cautious in the courtyard, and when he arrived outside the courtyard, he immediately lowered his face, grabbed the placket of one of the disciples and said sharply, "Zhang Ren, you are in charge, all the decisions of the Law Enforcement Institute must be reported to the senior brother through you, why did the Law Enforcement Institute send thunder subordinates to the lower realm, but the senior brother didn't know at all?"

Zhang Ren also broke out in a cold sweat: "Senior Brother Wu, I'll check it out immediately!" said and ran out, and ran back in a short time, bringing a disciple wearing the uniform of the Law Enforcement Academy, and complained slightly, "Senior Brother Wu, the Law Enforcement Institute has just come to report it." ”

The disciple of the Law Enforcement Institute handed a document to Wu Qi: "Senior Brother Wu, this is the article that the Law Enforcement Institute has just approved, please transfer it to Senior Brother for inspection, I still have something to do, so I will go first." "Say goodbye.

Zhang Ren pouted and said: "The Law Enforcement Institute is becoming more and more domineering, and it is good to make claims without waiting for the consent of the senior brother." ”

Wu Qi frowned and scolded: "You don't talk nonsense, when the Law Enforcement Yuan was established, the head of the sect made regulations, which is within the scope of their rights." As he spoke, he sent the paperwork to the courtyard and handed it to Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu read it and handed it to Cao Zijun. Cao Zijun looked gloomy, and when Wu Qi went out, he said, "Xiao Jiu, how is it now?"

"Elder Cao, don't worry," Feng Jiu muttered, "I'll send you back first, and then face the Master, I will definitely do my best to mediate in this matter, so that Senior Brother Yan will not be wronged again." ”

The two of them returned to the Hidden Sword Peak, but they saw Xiao Rilu, who had grown into a big horse, lying at the door of the bamboo house, panting for breath, his abdomen sunken, and obviously suffering a heavy blow. Cao Zijun was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that someone would dare to come to Tianzhu Mountain to attack the disciples of the Sword Court, so he hurriedly went up to check.

Xiao Lulu found that Cao Zijun was back and let out a wail. Cao Zijun's face changed, and he looked into the bamboo house, where was there still a little girl: "Fu'er, little Fu, are you there......" shouted for a long time without response, and searched all the bamboo houses, but there was no trace, and all signs showed that they had been taken away.

"I'll just leave for a while......" Cao Zijun was in a hurry, annoyed that he was too anxious, and actually gave the thief a chance.

Feng Jiu squatted on the ground and fed Xiao Lulu a pill, then checked its abdominal injury, observed it for a moment, and then frowned: "It's Xu Longxiang." ”

"Xu Longxiang?" Cao Zijun was taken aback.

"He has the kung fu of a sword in his hand. If it weren't for the horse's talent, this palm would have killed it. ”

"He, what is he doing with Xiao Xiaofu?"

"How did Elder Cao know about the Law Enforcement Yuan's Lei Sect's lower realm?"

"There are two disciples......" Cao Zijun said with a stirring spirit, shocked and angry, "What a Xu Longxiang, what a thunder department, they deliberately lured me away so that they could capture Xiao Xiaofu and threaten Yan Li!"

Feng Jiu's face turned pale: "It's really getting more and more unruly!Elder Cao, you and I will immediately go down to the realm to stop their ridiculous behavior!"

......

Human world, Songyang.

With a permanent population of nearly 700,000 and a floating population of more than 1 million, it is not inferior to the prosperity of Kyoto. More than 20 trunk roads with a width of dozens of steps are crisscrossed horizontally and vertically, and when viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a labyrinth city. Densely packed houses, built on the main road, more than a dozen dry docks, Feipeng Port that can dock hundreds of merchant ships at the same time, endless flow of chariots and horses, patrolling Feilongwei, water manor built by the mountain, the largest practitioner trading market in the human world - Wanbaofang, the largest practitioner distribution center in the human world - Wanbaowu with Wanbaofang as the core, as well as the largest shipyard and fish market in the human world...... All of this is today's Dragon Command City.

Longling City is a prosperous water city established by the newly entrenched forces after the fall of Swallow Dock. It is no longer just a transportation transit station, more than seventy large chambers of commerce, hundreds of small chambers of commerce have settled in, making it the only commercial giant city in the Three Realms, even in the fairy realm, there is no city that can compare with it.

In the space of six years, it has grown into a terrifying behemoth, intricate as the roots of an old tree, and when it is united with the outside world, it can burst out with tremendous energy.

Leading all this is Jiang Mingcheng, a powerful person in the sacred realm who has only become widely known in recent years. With the Dragon Emperor he represented, the White Tiger Divine Soldier Family, the Northern Tang Tang Tang Sect, the Fulong Sect, the Groove Gang, and hundreds of large and small gangs and sects were supplemented to form a new order in Dragon Ling City.

The development of Longling City to such a scale today, Jiang Mingcheng has made great contributions.

Jiang Mingcheng knew that Longling City was terrible, so he didn't pay attention to the fact that Yan Shifang was about to bring people to attack. Although he didn't pay attention to it, the forces of all parties had to pay attention to it, and the Groove Gang was the first to send reinforcements, followed by the Shenbing family, the Tang Sect...... The reinforcements have reached a very exaggerated level, but at the same time, they have also calmed the restless hearts of the merchants.

Merchants are very profitable, and if Longling City is annihilated by the flames of war, their six-year construction will be in vain. Even if the dragon order city is defended, they will still suffer heavy losses, and if they can't hold it, the new master will set the rules, and the loss will be more predictable.

Today, Jiang Mingcheng announced that he would personally welcome the new reinforcements, which made his subordinates feel very strange, because as the city lord, he personally greeted him, but it was the first case.

The main road, which is 100 steps wide, is supported by a row of 25 pillars nailed in the water, a column in four steps, and pushed forward, a row of 20 steps, paved with pine wood nearly two feet thick, walking on it is more stable than the bluestone slab ground with tamped soil.

The main road is connected to the port at one end, and Jiang Mingcheng took his subordinates to guard the port in person.

At this time, a boat came out of the spirit world, slowly stopped, and jumped from the deck to a tower-like man, and the plank road vibrate, making everyone's hearts slightly startled.

"Brother Lei!" Jiang Mingcheng walked up enthusiastically and held the hand of the tower man, "I've finally waited for you." ”

"Hmm. Brother Lei responded lightly, not impressed by Jiang Mingcheng's enthusiasm, withdrew his hand, turned back and shouted behind him, "Lift it down." ”

A few men dressed in dark blue uniforms carried an iron cage ashore with a shivering little girl.

"Brother Lao Jiang locked her up. "Brother Lei said to Jiang Ming.

"No problem. Jiang Mingcheng didn't ask a word, waved his hand directly, and asked his subordinates to take the cage over.

Then dozens of dark blue costumes came down from the boat, and Jiang Mingcheng secretly counted them, including Brother Lei, there were sixty-two people in total. He secretly said in his heart: These people rely on each other in five or five, just twelve groups, and they can just be at the mercy of the Twelve Yuanchen Breaking Array.

"Brother Lei, please. He smiled and led the way. "What are the requirements for Dragon Lingcheng in the Nether this time?"

"It's okay, you don't need to wait for a move, the traitors of the Sword Court have their own Sword Court to deal with. Brother Lei said coldly.
