Gu Yu had forgotten that today was the first few days she had spent in Yaoguang City. Ever since the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom captured Yaoguang City, Gu Yu had spent most of her time searching for the entrance to Dark Star City.

The ancient temple of the Ember Period, which had been abandoned, was also rebuilt by the "Feather Fallers" who followed Gu Yu during this period. After that, these "Feather Fallers", under the leadership of Gu Yu, while looking for the entrance to the "Dark Star City", set up a "magic circle" in this ancient temple, the purpose of which was to continue and increase the more severe weather environment at the moment, so as to create more opportunities for the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom to take over the entire Jibei.

In addition to Qingyan, Gu Yu's other four students also got their own division of tasks after recovering from their injuries. As a result, a huge net that had already been constructed began to radiate from Yaoguang City to this Jibei and even the world.

In the deep Yaoguang City City Lord's Mansion, Lei Che looked at the war sand table in front of him thoughtfully. After a period of rectification, Lei Che made slight changes in his original strategic deployment.

He transferred those soldiers who had been in contact with Gu Yu and the secret magicians of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom to the attacking team, and personally led them, but the garrison of Yaoguang City was handed over to Chu Liang and Zhan Teng.

The greedy war bear will definitely go to war with Lei Che.

At that time, Gu Yu will also follow Lei Che, which Gu Yu has long expected. The previous reminder given to Lei Che by the greedy war bear, Lei Che has actually always taken it to heart and has not forgotten it. Lei Che didn't dare to leave Gu Yu in Yaoguang City, in case Liuyun City was not defeated by then, and there would be another fire in the rear, and the entire north of Dongji would turn into Lei Che's grave.

Those important generals who had not yet had private contact with Gu Yu and the others, Lei Che had already greeted them in advance. In other words, the army of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom stationed in Yaoguang City will be responsible for defending the city and guarding against the Heavenly Martial Kingdom mystics left in the city after Lei Che sets out on the expedition.

In order to prevent the worst from happening, Lei Che also left a letter to Chu Liang, the lord of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, who was responsible for guarding Yaoguang City at that time, and told him not to open the letter until he had to.

He had already noticed that Lei Che had begun to be wary of his own Gu Yu, and after learning about the strategic deployment of Liuyun City from Nangong Jinyan, through Lei Che's arrangement, he speculated what decision Lei Che might make next.

Although she was not absolutely sure, in order to prevent her plan from being unnecessarily interfered with because of Lei Che's vigilance, Gu Yu told Qing Yan all her future arrangements and worries, and asked Qing Yan to take care of it for her after she left Yaoguang City with Lei Che.

Since taking Yaoguang City, Lei Che has been resting here for almost a month. In the process, he paid close attention to the movements of the entire Dongji countries in Jibei, as well as some situations in Liuyun City. And after the strategic deployment meeting, he secretly had contact with Han Ming, who was reduced to a prisoner.

For Lei Che's arrival, Han Ming was not surprised. However, Lei Che didn't get any information from Han Ming that he wanted, or that would be useful to him. The insults and curses continued, and finally Lei Che brushed his sleeves away. As for the heavy sword about the commander of the third army of the Chiyan Samurai, Lei Che still had no way to pick it up.

In desperation, Lei Che then handed over the sword to Gu Yu to deal with. See if there's any way she'll be able to wield the sword that can be turned into starlight and recondensed. As a result, Gu Yu gave Lei Che a promise at that time, Lei Che would easily swing this heavy sword belonging to the commander of the third army of the Chiyan Warriors on the battlefield of Liuyun City, just like Han Ming wielded it before.

As a result, Lei Che began to gather his army and prepare to attack Liuyun City. According to the original plan, he would take the entire north of Dongji by the spring of the next year, and then they would work with the army of the Tianwu Kingdom to open the Jingwei Pass with the countries of Xiji, and once again start the great cause of the unification of the Ji Dynasty.

And now, it's almost the end of November.

There are still about two months left for Lei Che.

From the army he assembled to go out to the soldiers under Liuyun City, it was only seven or eight days. Liuyun City is not an urn city structure, so it will be relatively easier for Lei Che to take it than it is to attack Yaoguang City.

In fact, Lei Che already wanted to go on the expedition on November 20, but at that time, he learned that the army of the Xia Kingdom was on the way to Liuyun City, and he was worried that when he besieged Liuyun City, he would be attacked by both the Xia Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom.

But the good news was mixed in the end.

After Lei Che received the bad news that the Xia army was very likely to participate in the war, the reinforcements sent by his old friend Tianwu Country Lord Feng Trembling also got in touch with Lei Che as soon as possible, and conveyed the news that he had successfully attacked the Xia army at night and completed half of the Xia army's deaths to Lei Che.

Although the army of Tianwu Kingdom also suffered a lot of casualties in the process, in view of the attitude and movements of the entire Jibei countries in the next battle of Liuyun City, the overall situation is still biased towards Xiji's side.

During this period, Hua Wu, the chief general of the Tianwu Kingdom, mentioned in his letter to Lei Che that he would take the army of the Tianwu Kingdom and appear when Lei Che needed it most. In other words, this army will not join them in Yaoguang City, and then set off from Yaoguang City with their Thousand Thunder Country.

Thinking of this, Lei Che suddenly began to think about what the purpose of this general of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom was. Could it be that at this moment, in Yaoguang City or in the army of the Thousand Thunder Country, there are hidden spies arranged by other countries?

Hua Wu's letter certainly did not mention these things. The reason why he did this was because he didn't want to have any contact with Gu Yu and the others. But it is impossible not to make contact, so all he can do is avoid contact with it as much as possible.

And Hua Wu's inexplicable words also made Lei Che, who had always been suspicious by nature, begin to think deeply and be suspicious. However, these will be explained one by one after Lei Che and Hua Wu converge on the battlefield.

Just when the forces of all parties were making preparations for the next battle of Liuyun City. Han Bin, Xia Hong and others, who were far away in Mingyue City, learned that Yun Fan had taken the eldest son of the Liu family and a mysterious woman back to the "ice prison" of Guangqi Courtyard in the Heartfelt Restaurant.

At the beginning, Lian Mu was also detained by Yun Fan, of course, all this was just a formality. Later, Han Bin and Xia Hong sent people to the Heartfelt Restaurant to investigate the ins and outs of this matter, but the shopkeeper He smiled and conveyed the script originally prepared by Liu Su to Xia Hong and Han Bin.

As a result, Han Bin and Xia Hong once again ushered in a disagreement.

At this moment, there are still two days before Yun Fan sets out. Xia Hong and Han Bin's plan has been arranged in place, just waiting for the battle of Liuyun City to start. However, in view of what Liu Su has done now, Xia Hong mistakenly thinks that this big brother who has never disappointed him, and really seriously considers his suggestion, coupled with the seemingly inexplicable conflict between Liu Fengchen and Yun Fan now, Han Bin originally guessed that Liu Su had formed an alliance with Yun Fan in private, and he can no longer convince Xia Hong at this moment.

Xia Hong was shaken again.

This also made Han Bin realize that this old friend, who seemed to know Mingyue Liu very well, actually all the original understanding was based on a boring personality cult. This made Han Bin feel a lot of headaches.

If it had been a few years earlier, maybe Han Bin would have scolded Xia Hong directly. But now the great cause they are brewing has finally made Han Bin calm and easy-going, and at the same time, his mind is deeper than ever.

In the dim candlelight, Han Bin once again had a secret meeting with Xia Hong. It's a pity that this time their secret meeting was still captured by "Hidden", which also let Yun Fan know that these two old guys have taken the bait.

Regarding the mysterious woman that Yun Fan took away from the Heartfelt Restaurant before, Shopkeeper He did not give a particularly detailed explanation to the person sent by Han Bin Xia Hong, but just brushed it over with a relatively generous guest.

After learning this information, Han Bin and Xia Hong immediately began to investigate whether the woman Yun Fan took away was the daughter of the family who had a temper in the country, but after asking around, they found nothing.

So, this is the second secret meeting tonight.

After all, they are old friends who have known each other for many years, so the two of them avoided unnecessary greetings when they met this time and went straight to the point. In the process, Han Bin mentioned some of his conjectures, but they were all vetoed by Xia Hong.

In the end, the two, who had no clue about the true identity of this mysterious woman, turned to find a breakthrough from Liu Fengchen, who was taken away together, and the difference between the two began.

Regarding Liu Fengchen's arrest, Han Bin thinks that all this is very likely to be a bureau set up by Liu Su for them. Given what he knew about Liu Su and Liu Su's ambiguous attitude after the meeting with Xia Hong, Han Bin always maintained his original opinion, and did not rule out that Liu Su might have guessed what they would do next. Of course, Han Bin has his countermeasures for this, but because of Xia Hong's wavering attitude now, he did not share it with him.

After this incident, Xia Hong wanted to consult Han Bin's opinion, try to win over Liu Su again, and verify whether Liu Su had manipulated the batch of sword armor provided to Yun Fan as he had previously suggested.

If the pre-deployment of the plan that the two of them were brewing at this time had reached the final stage, maybe Han Bin would really have the attitude of giving it a try, but now everything is in the boat. If Liu Su's true intentions are really as Han Bin assumed, then Xia Hong's move may directly ruin the common dream of Han Bin, Xia Hong, and the Su Guo clan.

Han Bin understands that Xia Hong still can't let go of the friendship between the "Three Friends of Jibei" after all, but if he is as indecisive as him, it is difficult to achieve great things. Therefore, Han Bin did not agree with Xia Hong's suggestion, and told him his opinion on Liu Fengchen's arrest by Yun Fan: "I think all this is just a play to deceive us. ”

Xia Hong: "How can you see it?"

Han Bin: "Just because Liu Fengchen was detained for a few days and then released." What is the "ice prison" where he can go in and come out unscathed? And the identity of that mysterious woman, we still haven't found out. ”

Xia Hong: "That woman is also in the "ice prison". ”

Han Bin: "Well, I, Han Ji, tried to get in touch, but the door of the "Ice Prison" was not opened, so I was scolded by Lian Mu. After that, the entire "ice prison" was not allowed to be approached by anyone without the permission of his Lian Mu. ”

Xia Hong: "When did Lian Mu say about the frost sword?"

Han Bin: "Although the frost sword is not what Lian Mu said now, it is no longer what our clan said. ”

Xia Hong: "Liu Su's words should still be useful. ”

Han Bin: "You want to use this to explain that Liu Fengchen came out of the "ice prison" unscathed, it really makes sense. But it also confirms my earlier assumption that everything is just a play for us. ”

Xia Hong: "So, what is the purpose?"

Han Bin: "Naturally, we won't let our plan succeed!"

Xia Hong: "If the plan is successful, it will also be beneficial to the Liu family. ”

Han Bin: "But they will lose their status as the leader of the clan, and the situation will return to the pattern of our three families standing side by side." Do you think Liu Su will let go of his suzerain?"

Xia Hong: "I remember you said earlier that we have all changed over the years, but Liu Su has not. Based on what we know about Liu Su's past, do you think he cares about this so-called suzerain?"

Han Bin sighed: "Xia Hong, we have all stepped into the coffin with one foot first, why are we still phantomizing these unrealistic things." Even if everything is as you think, so what? Now that Laliusu is in the group, we don't need the icing on the cake. ”

Xia Hong: "But we need Liu's sword armor." ”

Han Bin: "In a few days, Yun Fan will go to the front line, as long as he believes the letter that Han Mei gave him, then the batch of swords and armor that the Liu clan has created for him will soon become our trophies." ”

Han Bin's words made Xia Hong fall silent.

He was right, but if it really came to that point, everything would be irreparable. Thinking of this, Han Bin suddenly sighed with emotion: "Speaking of this, I am suddenly very curious about what Jian Ying and the others are doing in Yaoguang City now. ”

......

At the same time, Yaoguang City, the Han family's compound.

During this time, the greedy war bear has been resting under the thousand-year-old red plum tree in the courtyard. There are a lot of soldiers from the Thousand Thunder Kingdom stationed outside, and it can be said that Jian Ying Suxian and Qiu Yu and others were basically placed under house arrest by Lei Che in the Han family compound.

It's not an important thing, such as some supplies that are needed daily, Qiu Yu can let these soldiers of the Thousand Thunder Country do it for you. In her contact with these Thousand Thunder Country soldiers, Qiu Yu roughly deduced that Lei Che was making strategic arrangements for the next battle in Liuyun City as she had guessed before.

It's just that there are some discrepancies in the fact that the main general who should have been left by Lei Che to guard Yaoguang City was suddenly replaced by Nangong Jinyan to Chu Liang. And several generals of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom who were injured during the fall of Yaoguang City will also follow Lei Che to the battlefield next.

Qiu Yu didn't know what was going on, but she thought that if Shuguo learned the news and attacked Yaoguang City instead, maybe she would have a better chance of winning than participating in the battle of Liuyun City.

At this time, Qiu Yu didn't know that Jian Ying secretly had contact with Han Bin, and fed back her previous conjectures and bases to Han Mei who was far away in Mingyue City, and then Han Mei sorted out the information about the battle in Yaoguang City through the Shuguo clan here, and wrote the battle report that Yun Fan saw.

In fact, Yun Fan did not fully believe in that letter, it was just for reference. After all, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, and there will be no less caution. However, once Yun Fan confirms that the information on this letter is true, then in the next battle of Liuyun City, Yun Fan is very likely to make an unexpected choice based on the actual battle situation.

Right now, looking at Qiu Yu with a serious face, Su Xian and Jian Ying were a little puzzled. Qi Yi, who was standing behind Qiu Yu, didn't know what Su Xian and Jian Ying were wondering about. I thought that their confusion was related to those people who were now guarding outside the Han family's compound.

In fact, except for the greedy war bear in the courtyard that made them feel a little uncomfortable, those soldiers of the Thousand Thunder Country couldn't stop their footsteps at all. As long as they really want to go, no one can stop them.

Therefore, Qi Yi didn't understand what they were frowning for a few days. Qi Shirt felt that these were not necessary, and they were not enough. It's a happy day, and it's a bad day, so why not be as happy as possible.

In fact, for Qi shirts. Only by accompanying Qiu Yu can there be so-called happiness at all. What Qi Yi wants is actually very simple, someone who can understand him. This is naturally a very simple thing for Qiu Yu, who has long been aware of human nature.

Compared with Qi Shan, Jian Ying and Su Xian are more like students of Qiu Yu. Although several people are about the same age, Qiu Yu can easily answer all the things that puzzle the two of them and may puzzle the two of them every time.

Who would have imagined that two martial artists who had stepped into the realm of martial arts would humbly ask a woman who didn't know any martial arts to ask for a lot of things and thoughts. In fact, getting Qiu Yu's answers to questions also made these two people always achieve the Tao in the cultivation of the realm of heart and martial arts.

The realm of mind martial arts is more often in mind cultivation. Therefore, thinking about things, and knowing and understanding all things in the world are conducive to their pursuit of higher-order breakthroughs. After the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" happened, Jian Ying was "trapped" because of some things, which then made him fall into a helpless "bottleneck" every time he tried to make a new breakthrough.

It is precisely for this reason that in the end, the two planned to say goodbye without saying goodbye. Look for ways to restore peace of mind. All this was until Qiu Yu learned from Han Bin about the past events that had happened in Shuguo over the years, and then there was the current ending.

That's right, Qiu Yu helped Jian Ying get out of the shackles of the past and successfully let him get through that bottleneck period. In return, Jian Ying and Su Xian, who were originally loyal to the Yun family, switched to Han Bin's disciple and became the disciples of the Yaoguang Han family.

As for what it was that made Jian Ying fall into a "bottleneck" and never get out. When it comes to this matter, I have to mention Xia Hong's second daughter who died in the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation", that is, the daughter of the Liuyun Xia clan who once saved Yue Feiyan in Tianqiong City.

That girl is Jian Ying's apprentice.

Jian Ying believed that it was Yun Fan's departure and his later humiliation of Qianyu Yanyun in the Northern Desert, and finally brought the curse of God to the Shu Kingdom, resulting in the death of Jian Ying's only apprentice. Therefore, this also made Jian Ying, who became Han Bin's guest, more cooperative with Han Bin's every step of his plan after learning about his ambitions.

Now, that plan will soon be realized.

At the end of this opportunity, Yun Fan must die.
