Chapter 579: Ji Yuan's doubts
"Strange!Why did Liu Yuan and the others go to Tianyuan City to deliver a letter and go for so long?" Bai Yun stood at the head of Sword Pavilion City, overlooking the demon army below.
Ever since he discovered the figure of the demon army, he sent a team in front of Tianyuan City to report the situation here to Ji Yuan, and at the same time, asked Ji Yuan to strengthen his precautions!
"Could it be that something happened to them?" Bai Yun's brows furrowed deeply.
At this time, there were tens of thousands of demon soldiers under the Sword Pavilion City, but they had never launched a charge against the Sword Pavilion.
"General, where did these demons come from?" spoke to Bai Yun's lieutenant general, whose name was Du Jiang. "The topography here was changed by the city lord more than ten years ago, and we have sent soldiers to guard the passage adjacent to the demons, but the news that came back said that no shadow of the demon army was found. But why did they suddenly come to Sword Pavilion City?"
"I don't know. It seems that there is still some secret passage hidden in this Wanren Mountain. Bai Yun felt that there should be some secret passages hidden in this Ten Thousand Mountains that they didn't know.
Du Jiang said: "The Sword Pavilion is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With this amount of troops, there is nothing to be afraid of at all. ”
Bai Yun shook his head slightly, "Don't be careless. The intentions of demons have always been difficult to fathom. They must have a secret here. ”
"Could it be that they are waiting for reinforcements from Tian Yuan City?" Du Jiang suddenly thought of such a terrible thought.
Bai Yun's face changed suddenly, "There is this possibility! They know that the Sword Pavilion is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they are ready to wait for reinforcements to ambush Tianyuan City!"
"No! we have to find a way to inform the city lord!" Bai Yun said.
"However, the team we sent out earlier to deliver the letter has not yet returned. Du Jiang said anxiously.
"Damn!" Bai Yun stared at the demon army in the distance for a long time, and then said, "It seems that you can only make dangerous moves!"
"General, are you going to go out of the city to face the battle?" After following Bai Yun for so long, Du Jiang easily guessed Bai Yun's thoughts
"Hmm. Bai Yun nodded heavily, "This is the only way to do it for now." ”
"General, it's not proper!" Du Jiang hurriedly said. "Perhaps, the demons are luring us out of the city. Besides, when they make a move, it's not too late for us to get out of the city!"
"No! In that case, it will be too late!" Bai Yun said. "Liu Yuan: They have been out for so long, and it stands to reason that they should come back. But now they are nowhere to be seen, which only means that something may have happened to them. Similarly, if Tian Yuan City couldn't receive the news from here, he would guess that something must have happened to the Sword Pavilion, and with the character of the city lord, he would definitely personally lead the troops to help the Sword Pavilion. How can we put the city lord at risk?"
"General
Have you forgotten that the city lord once gave a death order, and without any orders from him, we are not allowed to leave the Sword Pavilion for half a step. ”
"There will be no disapproval of the king's life outside!" Bai Yun said. "That's it, I'll leave you half of the men and horses to stay in the Sword Pavilion!"
"Good. Then be careful yourself!" Du Jiang knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only be careful.
"Good. If something happens to me, you must not go out of the city to rescue me. You must defend this Sword Pavilion to the death!" Bai Yunqian commanded, this Sword Pavilion was bought with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers back then.
"This..."Du Jiang looked embarrassed, hesitated again and again before responding.
............
"Stop!" Ji Yuan ordered the army to stop, without him, because he felt like he was going in circles.
"We seem to be going around in circles!" Hua Ming said.
Ji Yuan nodded, "We have walked the road to the Sword Pavilion many times, and it is impossible for us to go wrong. There's got to be weird about that. ”
"Could it be that there are demons haunting here?" Hua Ming looked around, trying to find some clues.
"Not necessarily!" said Ji Yuan. "If the demon has such great ability, there is no need to go to such great lengths, just cut off the connection between Tianyuan City and the Sword Pavilion. ”
"But who could it be if it's not a demon?" Hua Ming was a little puzzled.
You know, the closest Shura City to here is also more than 10,000 miles away, how could they come here? Even if they did, they didn't have the ability to keep them going around in circles here.
"I don't know. In short, everyone be careful!" Ji Yuan had been observing the surroundings, he was searching, looking for a difference from the path to the Sword Pavilion in his memory.
"The whole army is arrayed! Two meters apart in front and behind, lined up in a long line. "Ji Yuan wanted to stretch the line and see if there was anything wrong.
"Keep going!"
Ji Yuan led the army to continue marching, but he was still circling in circles.
"Weird, weird!" Ji Yuan didn't notice any changes around him, but they were circling in circles without warning.
"The whole army assembles and arrays!"
Ji Yuan gave an order, and the army began to gather together, waiting in formation.
"The whole army is divided into two teams!"
With Ji Yuan's order, the army was soon divided into two parts.
"Hua Ming, you take a team of men and horses to move forward, and I will lead the rest of the men and stand by in place!" Ji Yuan gave an order.
"Yes!" Hua Ming replied, then turned to look at the army, "First team!
......
"Strange! Why have they been there for so long?" Ji Yuan originally thought that as long as he and the others stayed in place, if they were going around in circles, then Hua Ming and the others should appear from behind him, but now, they have been waiting for nearly two or three hours, and they still don't see Hua Ming and the others.
"Could it be that something happened to them?" Ji Yuan muttered to himself, and quickly vetoed it, "Impossible." If there was a fight, it would not be possible to be so quiet all around. But what's the problem?"
"City Lord, what now, do you want to stay here and wait for them?" asked a general beside Ji Yuan, who recognized him as He Man.
Ji Yuan looked at him, "Otherwise, leave them behind? Maybe they will come around to us soon." ”
"That's not what I meant. It's just that I don't know where they're going around in circles, and it's just a waste of time for us to continue waiting here. ”
I have to say that what He Man said still makes some sense.
Ji Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer! they should be back soon." ”
He Man nodded, and retreated back into the group.
Another hour or two passed, and sure enough, the hard work paid off, Ji Yuan heard a sound of footsteps in the distance, but what made him frown slightly was that the footsteps came from the front.
"Everyone get ready for battle!" Ji Yuan reminded.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Ji Yuan's fist couldn't help but tighten, and then let go, without him, it was Hua Ming and them.
"Are you really going all the way forward?" Ji Yuan was a little puzzled, if they were going around in circles, then Hua Ming and they should have appeared behind him, how could they appear in front?
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Hua Ming actually shook his head and said, "No." We walked for hours without seeing you. It felt like we were going farther and farther, and for safety reasons, we had to go back the way we came. ”
"Going farther and farther?" Ji Yuan felt that his brain was a little insufficient. He said, "This time, you stay here, and I'll take someone to walk forward to see if I can go around and come back." ”
It's not that Ji Yuan has nothing to do when they are full, but he has to solve this puzzle, otherwise, let alone supporting the Sword Pavilion, it is still a question whether they can even get out of here alive.
Ji Yuan took people away, and like Hua Ming's situation, he went farther and farther, in order not to get out of touch with Hua Ming and the others, Ji Yuan had to return the same way with the army.
"Strange! It's really going farther and farther!" This made Ji Yuan even more confused and puzzled, they were obviously going around in circles, but why didn't they meet each other when they were divided into two teams?
