Chapter 36: Impasse

In the royal capital, in the same room covered with rune curtains in the royal city, an old man looked at the overturned Dan furnace in front of him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He was thinking and deducing.

After a long time, in the palace of the king of Luo, several people stood solemnly in front of the most majestic man in the entire Luo country.

"Eighteen years have passed, and the vision has reappeared, is this really providence!"

One of the old men said in a sighing tone, and the words fell into silence throughout the hall again.

"Your Majesty!"

Just when everyone didn't know how to answer, suddenly another old man who had been pinching strange gestures in his sleeves suddenly stepped forward and bowed to King Luo, who was sitting upright.

"Say it!"

With the king's permission, the old man looked back at the other people, and then turned around and stepped forward again not far from King Luo's figure, leaning over and whispering something, the others looked at each other, but they didn't hear what he was talking about, and the wrinkles between everyone's eyebrows became more and more obvious for a while.

Until the old man once again respectfully stood up straight in front of King Luo, and then turned to look at the people.

"Please Master Wu Nian!"

When the words fell, everyone was shocked.

Far away in the southwest of Luoguo, in the border city of Xiongguan, the first border city guarding southern Xinjiang, countless people in the border city seemed to wake up from a big dream, but when they really woke up, they fell into a panic again.

Because what happened last night has already filled the city, maybe in the future, they will not sleep as peacefully as they did last night.

Because of the sudden retreat of the herdsmen's army, giving the border city a chance to breathe, Xizhu, who witnessed the nightmare, was walking quickly through the border city street at this moment, and saw that this once prosperous street quickly became depressed after last night.

Even though there were passers-by in a puff of smoke, they all came and went in a hurry, and did not stop much.

On the other side, in the border city general's mansion, Xu Wen had already woken up from her dream, she only felt that she had a long dream last night, and she felt very tired when she woke up.

"What's going on?"

At this time, there was a noisy sound in the mansion outside, Xu Wen frowned and got up and walked out of the room, and soon learned the terrible news, and the whole person was even more stunned.

The herdsmen's army was overwhelmed, and even in this general's mansion, all the servants were in panic.

Xu Wen searched for a while and found that Xizhu had long since disappeared, and asked many people who didn't know where Xizhu went.

"Has this guy slipped away?"

After a while, Xu Wen came to the border city street again, but everything in front of her was very different from what she saw a few days ago, the prosperity of the border city in the past disappeared, and there was a depressing atmosphere everywhere.

From time to time, pedestrians ran on the streets, or columns of soldiers rushed to and fro.

"Is all this true?"

Xu Wen hesitated, and there was a deep uneasiness in her heart.

"Why are you here?"

At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded from a distance, Xu Wen turned around and saw a person running towards him in a hurry, a pair of old faces were flushed, and at the same time, there was a team of border city defenders behind him.

Take a closer look, who is this guy who is not Xizhu!

"You...... What did you do!"

Xu Wen looked at Xizhu with a strange look on her face.

On the other side, seeing that it was really Xu Wen, Xizhu's face showed joy, and the movements under his feet accelerated again, and he quickly came to Xu Wen's face, but when he heard Xu Wen ask this, he was a little confused.

"What did I do?" Xizhu asked;

"How else would you have been arrested?"

Xu Wen said, when the words fell, Xizhu seemed to understand what Xu Wen was referring to, so he looked back at the Luoguo soldiers behind him, and then couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, could he really be like a prisoner.

"Uh...... You go over there first!"

Xizhu pointed in a direction at random, and the group of Luoguo soldiers who followed him really left in the direction he pointed.

"You!"

Xu Wen's face showed a look of even more surprise than before.

"What are you, you only appeared now, I escaped death last night, and when I saved General Xu from fire and water, I'm afraid you kid was still sleeping a lot!"

Xizhu said, but looking at his embarrassed expression, he seemed to have a bit of spirit.

"What the hell happened last night?"

The look of doubt in Xu Wen's eyes was even more intense, she looked around for a while, and then her gaze fell on Xizhu, who was embarrassed on the surface.

"Last night, the herdsmen army attacked the city, and I ...... and I"

Before Xizhu finished speaking, Xu Wen interrupted him again.

"What!"

Xu Wen was shocked, but at this moment, in this city, there are thousands of people like Xu Wen who learned the news!

"General!"

In the camp of the border city, Xu Hanfei half leaned on the handrail on the side, although he experienced an extraordinary night, he always persevered.

Fortunately, he is a dignified general, a powerful martial arts practitioner, but at this time, his sense of weakness is rarely seen.

The herdsmen's army retreated suddenly, giving the border city that was originally in danger a chance to breathe, but Xu Hanfei was always waiting for a result in this big ups and downs!

"We have searched all over the city, and found a total of forty-nine corpses, and through checking, they should be the herdsmen who have blended into the city!"

The soldier who knelt on one knee said, and then the drape of the camp was lifted at once, and in the open space outside the camp, dozens of corpses dressed in uniform black were lying on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the left and right who were sitting in this tent all looked solemn, and their hearts were already turbulent.

"It's burning!"

Xu Hanfei said in a deep voice, when he was young, a puff of billowing black smoke gradually drifted out of the camp of the garrison of the border city, and at the same time, a stench of burnt corpses came out.

"General, how should the affairs of Beicheng Mansion be handled?"

Seeing those corpses being burned, a military general standing next to Xu Hanfei turned his head to look at Xu Hanfei and said in a low voice, in the border city military circle, who doesn't know the things between the Beicheng Mansion and the General's Mansion, but now the shocking thing is that in addition to the fact that this herdsman is like a cavalry descending from the sky to raid the border city, it is also destroying the Beicheng Mansion under everyone's noses.

But after all, Beicheng Mansion is directly under the royal capital, and Beicheng Mansion was destroyed, even if the border city was defended, it was definitely an unforgivable provocation for the royal capital!

"Although the herdsmen have retreated, we have suffered a lot of vitality, remember how to defend the border city is what we should worry about......

Xu Hanfei stood up from his seat, and at this time, another soldier hurried from outside, and it turned out to be someone from the General's Mansion.

Outside the border city, but only a few dozen miles away, a joint camp suddenly appeared, which was the retreating army of the herdsmen.

At this moment, in a large tent that belonged to the herdsmen, a man was carrying his hands behind his back, and the thumb and index finger of his right hand were rubbing against each other, and behind him, all the people slowly retreated.

Until in the end, only he and three other old men who looked exactly the same were left in the whole tent, and the man standing with his hands in his hands was the great commander of the herdsmen!

"I want an explanation!"

The man who was the chief commander spoke, his tone was very flat, but it could be judged from his voice that this person was only in his forties.

Although he is a great priest and a herdsman warrior, he can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person in the wasteland, but his age is not much different from that Xu Hanfei.

"Breaking our seal, and having the ability to break free from the power of fishing for the moon in the water, with that fierce aura, it is definitely a fierce existence!"

One of the old men opened his mouth and said that he was the one who used the water moon fishing last night!

"Even if the ancient corpse you said appeared in this city, it would not be a reason for me to retire!" said the Grand Priest;

"Then what about the repetition of the three brothers who lost Yang Shoubu......

At this time, another old man said, only to find that the three of them at this moment seemed to be older than last night, and they always felt that something was missing in their bodies, and that thing was the longevity they had lost.

"Exit the border city, everything is empty talk, and we can't last five days!"

The Great Priest was silent for a moment and said suddenly;

"Retreat...... We may have a chance to live!"

At this time, the third old man finally spoke, and the great priest was silent, his fingers rubbing faster and faster, and finally, his hands suddenly let go, and then he turned around and walked out of the tent as well.

On the other side, in an inaccessible place in the border city, Wang Tofu stood in front of a man in his forties.

"You're here...... Warlock?" Wang said;

"Who the hell are you?"

The man also stared at Wang Tuofu, his face showed solemnity, he was the man who had brought Xizhu into the border city and was called the second brother by Xu Hanfei, of course, he also had another name: Shen Yin.

"Fang Mu, Dan Yin, astrology, you belong to that lineage!"

"I want to hear stories about warlocks and goblins in your world. ”

Wang Tuofu opened his mouth and said, but his request was something that the man standing in front of him never expected, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, as if he saw something different from the young man in front of him.

After a long time, Wang Tofu left the border city, he knew that the original world was still full of unknowns, since the cause and effect had been broken, he finally chose to leave, because he did not belong to the way he had to find back here, and the answer seemed to be in another place.

"Fang Mu, Dan Yin, Astrology ......"

Looking at the back of Wang Tofu leaving, Shen Yin stood motionless, he looked at the person, and had an intuition in his heart that he might have seen a very strange existence.

This kind of existence, only very few can meet it, and he has seen it!
