The camp returned to calm, Ling Feng sent additional men to patrol and heal the injured, Chen Zimo returned to the dirt bag and leaned back, looking at the wound that had been bandaged in a daze.

"Why did he want to rob this treasure? Someone instructed him or what? Could the people in the Lin family village also have something to do with him?"

At this time, Uncle Wang did it to his side. "I know what you're thinking, I can probably guess who you fought in the battle just now, and it's a fluke that you survived under his hands. ”

Chen Zimo didn't turn his head. "Uncle Wang, why did you say he was robbing this treasure, and what exactly are we escorting?"

"I heard about this treasure before I went out of the city, I heard that this treasure was born from heaven and earth, and the qi of heaven and earth is restrained, it can take the soul of others, and it can also break the demon thoughts in your own heart, I think Yu Bing should also grab this thing for this point, he is a sword idiot, his life is only to pursue the peak of martial arts, his swordsmanship is only one step away from entering the sword, but it is a pity that he was a stop with your father back then, and the demon thoughts were planted in his heart, resulting in swordsmanship has not improved for so many years, so he often uses alcohol to eliminate his sorrows at a young age, but it is a pity that this is a good age. ”

"I see, that~"

"He is a wretched man, but he is also a hateful man, and it is a capital sin to rob the treasure, so don't show him that undeserved mercy, as I have said to you before, this city is a treacherous city, and it is not to be taken lightly. ”

Chen Zimo didn't make a sound, just nodded.

"Do you know why this demon beast appeared, it was specially arranged by people, and now except for the three of you on Nanshan, no one has come back alive, that is half of the military strength of the city defense army, do you know what this means?"

Chen Zimo suddenly realized. "I see, that demon beast is just to reduce the strength of the city defense army, is it, could it be, someone wants to attack Heluo City, no, no, this idea is too crazy. ”

"What if it's not for the attack on Heluo City, but for the treasure in your arms?" Uncle Wang said and stood up.

"You mean Yu Bing, he single-handedly directed all this. ”

Uncle Wang sighed and didn't speak, just walked away silently, leaving Chen Zimo alone at a loss.

The city has also been in turmoil in recent days, a large number of foreign people and many unknown people are gathering more and more in the city, resulting in worse and worse security in the city, although Sun Dushou issued a temporary order to start driving away and semi-sealing Heluo, but the effect is not great, a large number of mercenary groups, adventurers, etc. are stationed outside the city, and there are even many bandits and wanted fugitives, and he also received secret security These people are secretly assembling, and they seem to be planning something.

Years of experience made him quickly think of the treasures that will arrive in the city in the next few days, maybe these people are coming for the treasures, but the things about the treasures are confidential, even the treasures themselves, how did these people know?

Someone must be doing something!

Outside the city, looking at the white sky that was gradually brightening up in the sky, but the surroundings were still gray, Ling Feng leaned quietly under the tree.

"This farce you arranged is very wonderful!" Uncle Wang's voice sounded from behind the tree.

Lu Lingfeng smiled coldly. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, old fox. ”

"You're very powerful, you sent the people in the village!"

Lu Lingfeng stood up and patted the soil on his pants. "How much more do you know?"

"Then the demon beast on Nanshan was also arranged by the guard to be released by you, I think you are also for this treasure, but unfortunately I didn't expect it to get out of control and cause a disaster. ”

"You know more than I thought you would. ”

"I also know that you are the dog of the guard, and maybe one day his ambition will consume you. ”

Lu Lingfeng walked towards Uncle Wang, and when he passed by him, he stopped and said softly: "Follow your Fu Wang well, but knowing more may not necessarily lead to a long life." ”

At noon, the anxious Sun Dushou saw Chen Zimo and Lu Lingfeng returning to their lives, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the treasure was safe, and he never expected that Yu Bing would be the first person to rob the treasure, but now he is also very helpless, at this time Yu Bing has also disappeared, if he sends a sea fishing document, it will be equivalent to revealing the treasure.

"At this time, I can only press the next day, Ling Feng, you go back to rest first, I have something to say to Zimo. ”

After Lu Lingfeng retreated, Sun Dushou looked at the wooden box in Chen Zimo's hand, thought for a while and said: "This treasure is temporarily placed here for you, I will arrange a fake treasure to be placed in the city defense barracks, really you put it in the study building, and you will keep it safe, about a week later, the team excluded by His Royal Highness the Good King will arrive in the city, and everything will be easy to do at that time, do you know that this matter is important, you must be very careful!"

Chen Zimo nodded.

"Go back and rest, don't leave the house these days, there will be a big event in the house tomorrow. Sun Dushou held his forehead and waved his hand.

Chen Zimo respectfully retreated, while Sun Dushou looked at Chen Zimo's back and took a sip of tea.

Outside the city, in the temporary camp of adventurers, in the distance where the tents were standing, in a large tent, six or seven people stood at the table to discuss things, when a person opened the curtain and walked in.

"Jiang Linliang, is your intelligence accurate?"

The person who came walked to the table and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, please believe me, the treasure has entered the city, and it is in the city defense camp, this time we need your full cooperation, and after capturing Heluo City, everyone will take what they need." ”

"Good, good. At this time, an exotic mage with a hood said excitedly.

"The time is set for tomorrow's engagement banquet, so tomorrow you need to cause more chaos in the city and in the villages around the city. ”

After sleeping until noon the next day, Chen Zimo hastily ate a few bites of food at noon, and then drove the carriage out of the city to Chenjia Village, because the city was not peaceful these days, Chen Zimo decided to take his grandparents to live in the city bookstore for a while.

After the arrangement was made, it was getting late, and he returned to the governor's house, and at one of the doors, he saw the servant with a lantern, and he grabbed the butler and asked, "Is this something important?"

"Don't you know, my lord, tonight is the engagement banquet between Miss and Lord Ling Feng, and all the famous families in the city have arrived. ”

"Xiao Yun and Ling Feng!" Chen Zimo was stunned in place, he didn't know what to say, remembering what Sun Dushou said yesterday, he muttered: "I see, this is the result." ”

At night, the governor's mansion was very lively, with both the special envoy of His Royal Highness King Shan, Lord Feng, as a witness, and the two sons of His Royal Highness King Fu attending, which can be described as full of cards.

Chen Zimo sat on the steps in front of the study building, he sent all the other guards to the engagement banquet, leaving him alone to guard the treasures, he wanted to see it, but for some reason, he didn't dare to look at it.

"Yes, that guy Ling Feng is indeed very powerful, and he is very promising, much better than himself, no, he is just a wasted person, and he can't even stabilize his livelihood, so what qualifications do he have to compare with Ling Feng?"

He really wanted to drink now, and at some point, he was also obsessed with the spicy things in the cup, Chen Zimo lowered his head and scratched on the ground casually with his feet, holding the tea in the courtyard in his hand.

"If Yu Bing is here at this time, maybe he can still ask for a drink, at least it will be better than the wine at the banquet. Chen Zimo said and sighed.

"Are you looking for this again?" a familiar voice came out.

There was a buzz and a bang came towards Chen Zimo's front door. Chen Zimo gathered his qi in his hand and grabbed the thing steadily, although he has already achieved something about the 'field' now, but subconsciously he still gathers 'qi' to attack and defend.

Chen Zimo didn't look at the person, but looked at the thing in his hand, which was a small silver wine jug, he opened the wine jug without hesitation, raised his head and drank it all.

"Good wine, good wine. Then he looked at the man in black standing in the middle of the courtyard. "Yu Bing, it's better to have your wine. ”

"Water, the more you drink, the colder it gets, the more you drink, the warmer it gets, I think you need to warm up. ”

"You didn't come here just to bring me a drink, I think you're still thinking about the treasures in the building behind me. ”

Yu Bing didn't speak, but stared at the young man in front of him who was leaning on the steps with big characters and kept drinking the wine in the pot, and a crimson sword was stuck in the ground. "You, aren't you afraid that I will poison the wine?"

"Don't be afraid, for I know you won't. ”

"Why not?"

"You have not overcome me. ”

Yu Bing laughed loudly, and the green silk was scattered. "Do you really think I can't kill you?"

"It's easy for you to kill me, but you still can't beat me?"

"Why can't I kill you if I can kill you?"

"You don't understand the sword in your hand!"

Chen Zimo's words hit Yu Bing's heart hard, the same words, even the same tone, the same as back then, these years, the obsession in his heart has been fermented like that wine, but this wine is a jar of bitter wine, a jar of bitter wine that no one knows.

"I don't know the sword, I don't know the sword, you learned the sword at the age of six, swinging the sword 800 times a day, you have already broken the delusion, and now you have been practicing the sword for twenty-eight years, I don't understand the sword, why do you all say I don't understand the sword. ”

Yu Bing, who was angry, stared at the young man in front of him, but he didn't notice that the air around him was filled with a strong aroma of wine, which was actually the 'field' that Chen Zimo exuded.

"Every day, every hour, every moment, every sword of that duel is repeated in my heart. As he spoke, Yu Bing's eyes were red and bloodshot, like a demon crawling out of hell, he turned his back to Chen Zimo and roared angrily at the sky: "There is only one chance to make a sword, and for that sword, I have sharpened it for more than ten years." ”

With that, the killing intent around him suddenly rose, and Yu Bing turned around violently, and a sharp sword in his hand was unsheathed. "Then I'll really learn your swordsmanship today. ”

Cang Chang sounded, the cold light flashed, and a sharp sword stabbed towards Chen Zimo's face, this sword was full of murderous aura, Chen Zimo threw down the wine jug and flipped back, and at the same time kicked the sword lightly with his toes, the red flame that was inserted on the ground was brought up, and after his body fell steadily, he grabbed it with his right hand, and the sword appeared in his hand.

The footsteps arched, a sword stabbed out, facing the sword that Yu Bing stabbed, and suddenly the tips of the two swords were facing each other, and the surrounding sword qi suddenly rose, and the trees in the courtyard behind Yu Bing were cut off, and the wooden windows and doors of the study building behind Chen Zimo were directly shattered by the sword qi.

Yu Bing secretly marveled in his heart, although he didn't use all his strength, it was just two days, but he didn't expect Chen Zimo's swordsmanship to be so sophisticated.

And Chen Zimo was drunk, he just stabbed this sword with drunkenness in his mood, and he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"Very good, very good, how many years have I been able to see such a swordsmanship wizard again, in time, your swordsmanship will be incomparable, but I am bound to get this treasure. Although he didn't understand why Chen Zimo's swordsmanship was so sophisticated, he had no intention of fighting with Chen Zimo at this moment, and after speaking, he stepped on his left foot, and he actually jumped up, and the unprepared Chen Zimo didn't have time to retract his strength, the sword strength made him fly into the courtyard, and Yu Bing jumped into the study building.

When Chen Zimo strode into the study building, Yu Bing was already holding the wooden box in his hand.

"Put down that wooden box. Chen Zimo raised his sword and pointed at Yu Bing.

Yu Bing sneered and opened the box.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

At the same time, at the banquet, everyone was drunk and hearty, and I don't know who shouted. "The city defense camp is on fire. ”

When everyone looked at it, they saw the flames soaring into the sky, and the dark night sky was also reflected red.

"Report, the arsonist has rushed out of the city, and the city defense army has suffered heavy casualties. A guard ran in with a dark face.

"How can this be?" Feng Yan asked loudly.

"Because, because I don't know when all the military supplies were transferred. ”

Sun Dushou looked at the guards. "What about the guards of the military?"

"My lord, the seals on the materials are all complete, and I think that they were transferred during transportation. ”

Feng Yan looked coldly at the sergeant who spoke. "Who is in charge of the verification?"

"It's Lord Chen Zimo. ”

Feng Yan raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings. "What about others?"

Sun Dushou arched his hand and said, "Guard that thing in the study building." ”

"You hurry up and organize firefighting, and the rest of the guards and I go to the study building. Feng Yan walked towards the study building angrily.

In the study building, both of them stared at the wooden box and froze in place, neither of them expected that it was empty.

Suddenly, Yu Bing burst out laughing. "Hahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, we were all played, everyone worked hard to grab just an empty box, and finally won the plan, that is, to take away the treasures, and led all the spearheads to the city, and as a result, they all became chess pieces, a good one kills two birds with one stone, and a good one kills two birds with one stone. ”

Chen Zimo looked at Yu Bing, who looked like a madman in front of him, and he was at a loss. "The sword, like the person who uses it, sinks into a certain emotion, and it will exert a different power, but no matter what kind of emotion it is, it will eventually become a bondage, and you can only break through by letting go of your anger. ”

As he spoke, the blazing fire in the distance shocked Chen Zimo, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's not good, it's the city defense camp that is on fire." ”

When he turned his head, there was still ice in the building, leaving only an empty wooden box lying on the ground.

At this time, a group of people came in, and the first one to come in was Feng Yan.

"Chief Guard Chen, where are the treasures?"

Chen Zimo put away his sword and arched his hand: "It's a lowly guard, wrong, be~"

Feng Yan looked at the box on the ground, and then waved his sleeves heavily. Chen Zimo played slack, drank and made mistakes, and was put in prison first, and then made a decision after being found out. ”

As he spoke, the four guards held down Chen Zimo and didn't even give him a chance to argue.

"Order martial law throughout the city, search for thieves for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find them for me. Feng Yan's angry voice made everyone tremble.

That night was destined to be a chaotic night, because of the martial law in the city, none of the guests attending the banquet left the house, and there were still many guest rooms in the palace.

The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps woke up many people who had fallen asleep, and finally the injured thieves fled to the camp outside the city, and the searchers also clashed with the adventurers and foreign mercenaries gathered outside the city, and the soldiers who searched were killed and wounded heavily, and even in the end these people surrounded the city and prepared to occupy Heluo City.

In the early hours of the morning, the first wave of attacks began, although the number of people outside the city was far more numerous than the remaining guards, but after all, the rabble, separate and scattered, the attacks were scattered, and the guards had a geographical advantage and repelled them, but this was also short-lived.

The sky was cloudy as if it was about to fall, and there was only the smell of restlessness in the air, and the lingering smell of blood stuck to the body like glue, sticky.

Chen Zimo, who was sitting in the prison, sat on the bed facing the wall, with his back to the prison door, staring blankly at the wall in front of him, at this moment his heart was like a rag, as if the last trace of water was about to be twisted clean, and there was no trace left.
