The crowd galloped all the way down the official road, nothing happened on the way, and in the blink of an eye it was the early morning of the fifth day.

"We can go to Jade City before sunset, and then you can go back to the ancestral house by yourself, and after you settle down, you can come to the town demon guard station to find me. ”

After washing by the mountain stream, Li Hu glanced at Lin Chong beside him and said.

Lin Chong nodded in response, after getting along in the past few days, he had a good sense of Li Hu's demon guards, at least not like the other demon guards he had come into contact with, these people did not look like they were flying and domineering.

The sun was rising, the fog had not yet dissipated, and everyone packed up and prepared to go.

At this moment, the sound of drums could be faintly heard in the distance.

"It's the sound of snare drums, coming from the official road. ”

"Black Armor!"

Someone listened carefully and said loudly, his tone was a little excited.

"The Black Armor Army is dispatched, which means that there are a large number of demon clans in the vicinity, let's hurry up and take a look. ”

Li Hu greeted him, got on his horse and galloped away, and Lin Chong followed closely behind him when he saw this.

A moment later, on the official road, Lin Chong and the town demon guards saw a spectacular scene.

In the rush of the snare drum, a black torrent shook in, and the military flag was unfurled.

The sergeant of the Black Armor Army marched forward in unison, shouting "kill" every three steps, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

At the same time, the terrible sound of bull's horns began to shake through the valley, and on both flanks two armies of black armor swept flat like a tidal wave.

As the most powerful army in the Tian Yuan Continent, the cold Xuantie mask, the bloody sword on the waist, the shocking shout, accompanied by the morning mist, the entire official road was shrouded in the aura of slaughter......

"With so many black armor troops gathered, it seems that what Wang Yun said is true. Li Hu rode on the horse and whispered, his brows furrowed.

"Master, what are you talking about? What happened to my father?

Lin Chongzheng looked at the Black Armor Army stunned, and when he heard Li Hu mention Wang Yun's name, he asked casually.

"This should be to strengthen the defense of the border of the Sea of Death, that day your father said that a group of black armor troops will be stationed along the entire seaside, and Fengcheng will also have a group of troops. ”

"It's just the normal movement of the Black Armor Army, and the demon clan has been really restless lately. ”

Li Hu's words had been discussed with Wang Yun a long time ago, and he used them to deal with Lin Chong.

Half a month ago, Wang Yun was informed by the Qingguo Imperial Court that after the end of winter, a large number of demon clans might appear on the border of the Sea of Death through the demon eyes, and a big war might come.

It was for this reason that Wang Yuncai suddenly asked him to come and take Lin Chong away in the name of the imperial examination, because he didn't know if Fengcheng was safe.

"Hmm. ”

Lin Chong nodded, but he didn't suspect anything.

The frequency of the appearance of demon eyes in the past six months is indeed very high, and it is also necessary to strengthen the defense, after all, the damage of ordinary troops to the demon clan is too low, and the number of demon guards stationed in each city is too small.

In less than a quarter of an hour, this group of at least 3,000 black-armored troops disappeared from the sight of several people.

Lin Chong rode a horse, looked back at the direction of the black armor army a few times, and felt something:

"There are three thousand black-armored battle spirits, and they are out of the winter snow in the jade city. ”

After the two lines of poetry came out, Li Hu on the side felt a trace of aura fluctuations, his eyes lit up, he looked at Lin Chong and said, "What? Do you want to go to the Black Armor Army? Then wait for the imperial examination to finish." ”

"The minimum level requirement of the Black Armor Army is seven grades, and both civil and military personnel must meet this requirement before they can join. ”

"Of course, if you can keep improving in the liberal arts and get into the exam, or the champion or something, then I would prefer you to defend one side rather than go to the battlefield. ”

"After all......"

Thinking of Lin Chong's talent in an instant, Li Hu said, paused, and said: "After all, ordinary people are having a hard time now, and how to make them live better is the most important thing." ”

"Hmm. ”

Lin Chong still nodded simply, didn't say anything, and didn't know that the two casual poems just now had already amazed Li Hu.

Qipin is too far away from him, and it is not realistic to go to the battlefield.

Now his grade strength is probably between the eighth and ninth grades, whether it is civil or martial.

It's just that he has the golden finger of the small universe, but his real strength is no weaker than that of the eight-rank literati or martial artists.

Li Hu's words Lin Chong also agreed, the demon clan appeared from time to time, and most of the entire Tianyuan Continent was in a dilapidated state, so it had to be well managed.

The number of literati is too small, although it is also possible to kill demons, but the courts of various countries, including the civil and military courts, hope that the literati will focus on governing the country, rather than killing the enemy.

From the three teams of black armor troops that passed just now, it can be seen that almost all of them are composed of martial artists, but there are only a few literati, which shows how precious the literati of the Tian Yuan Continent are.

One last glance at the direction in which the Black Armor Army was leaving, Lin Chong sped up, wanting to rush to Yucheng as soon as possible, his premonition was not very good.

......

Jade City, a residential house on the side of the mountain at the east gate.

"Little brother, buy a piece of tofu, it was just made in the morning. ”

"Auntie, the freshly made tofu can be eaten even if you have bad teeth.

Wang Yun, who was dressed in a patched dress, looked at the pedestrians on the street, kept shouting, with a smile on her handsome face, but she was extremely melancholy in her heart.

Recently, the demon clan has appeared too frequently, and the life of the common people has become more and more difficult, and there are many fewer people who even buy tofu.

"Sister Yun, I want a piece of candy, hehe......" The milky children's voice appeared in front of Wang Yun with a pair of immature little hands, dirty and covered with dirt.

"Good. Wang Yun shook her head helplessly, took out a candy from her pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the little girl with a runny nose who appeared in front of her.

"Sister Yun, my mother said she wanted a piece of tofu, and she would come over to pay later. The little girl sucked the snot on her face and looked at Wang Yun with a serious face.

"Okay, Xiaoyan is so well-behaved, I know how to help my mother buy things. Wang Yun touched the little girl's head and said.

"Hee-hee, Xiaoyan has grown up. The little girl finished happily, put the candy in her mouth, and looked very happy, bouncing and jumping.

"It's a good world for kids. ”

Wang Yun sighed, turned around and looked at the few cabins with the plaque of "Wang's Tofu" hanging behind her, and her heart was mixed.

More than three months ago, his father Wang Wu was bitten to death by a demon beast outside the city, and she and her blind mother were driven out of their master's ancestral house by the people of the Wang family's big house.

After wandering for a night, he finally had no choice, so he took his mother to live in these dilapidated cabins in the city.

This is a place full of horror and bad luck, and Wang Yun still remembers the incident ten years ago.

More than 50 human bones, I don't know when they were buried under these wooden houses.

The most terrifying are the bones that have been dug up, headless, and limb abound.

According to the results of Yucheng's inspection, the bones buried here were all killed by people, not by the demon clan.

It took the government a year to find the killer.

The people of Yucheng later called this place "the cursed place".

Faced with this situation, Wang Yun, who has a tough personality, still moved in with her mother, after all, the elderly cannot be allowed to sleep on the streets.

What she hopes most now is that her husband, who has been away for more than 20 years, will come back one day to give herself and her mother something to rely on.
