The sergeants sent by the friends have arrived in Shangrao, and the Jiuli Academy Department has come to Dongyue this time There are a total of four core elders, in addition to Zhang Jue and Yuji, the remaining two are in Shangrao at the moment, namely Liu Shang and Mo Zhong, these two are a few years younger than Yuji and Zhang Jue, they are also core elders, but their status is slightly lower than the two, but there are also strange means, they and the general of the military department Banyi led four thousand Jiuli sergeants a few days ago, and occupied Shangrao with lightning speed, and sat in the army at the moment, waiting for the battle situation in the rest of the places, Always ready to go.

After listening to the report of the sergeant sent by the disciples, Liu Shang and Mo Zhong learned that Yu Ji was injured by several Donggao soldiers one after another, and the two were a little happy, Yu Ji has always been quite arrogant, this time he suffered a big loss, and it can be regarded as giving him some lessons, but the plan drawn up by the patriarch cannot be lost, they must go to Le'an to support at this moment, and Le'an cannot lose it again.

Liu Shang and Mo Zhong immediately set off for Le'an. In the past few days, the Jinfan Army and the puppet army have not moved, Peng Yiwei and the disciples of Tianjian Mountain Villa have patrolled near Le'an City from time to time, hoping to have some traces of the puppets, but they have found nothing for a few days. Xuancheng was also quiet for a few days, Zhang Jue received a letter from the Ministry of War, and now he is in charge of all matters related to Xuancheng, and at the same time, the Ministry of War will send another sergeant to support. Approaching the end of the year, Emperor Wen hopes to spend the New Year in peace. Dong Yun had been staring at Zhang Jue in Xuancheng, but he didn't make any moves after discovering that Zhang Jue.

Soon there was news in the city that the puppet army and the Jinfan army had a big battle in Le'an, and the two sides were injured by each other, but they didn't expect that the 20,000 puppets actually went directly to Le'an to intercept the Jinfan army. Zhang Jue immediately decided to wait for the reinforcements from the military department to arrive, go to Le'an, and defeat the puppets together with the Jinfan army. Several lieutenant generals were extremely puzzled, their goal was Lincheng, and now Lincheng had not been captured, and it was against the deployment of the military department to bypass and rush to Le'an. Zhang Jue explained that the puppet army is currently the most evil force, if it is not completely eliminated, even if the city is captured, it will not be able to resist the opponent's counterattack, so it is the best policy to concentrate on destroying this one first. Now that Zhang Jue's prestige is extremely high, everyone also felt that it was quite reasonable for a while, so they didn't object anymore.

Dong Yun inquired about Zhang Jue's deployment, and vaguely felt that this was another conspiracy, but there was nowhere to explain it at the moment, so he decided to go to Le'an first.

After Yuji woke up, he learned that after the first battle between the puppet army and the Jinfan army, the puppet suffered a lot of losses, he repeatedly calculated and decided to wait for Shangrao to come and launch a wave of offensive against the Jinfan army, vowing to solve the Jinfan army before the end of the year. Lin Pinghui was also thinking about this problem, thinking that he could relieve the siege of Le'an before the New Year, and the sergeants wanted to go back to Jiujiang Port for the New Year, but the current battle situation was unfavorable, and it seemed that it was difficult to win or lose for a while. After the people sent to Jiujiang Port returned, they informed Lin Pinghui that Lin Zhenba asked the Jinfan Army to continue to be stationed near Le'an, waiting for an opportunity, and reinforcements would come one after another. Lin Pinghui could only obey orders.

Xiao Zhongqin and Ling Hui hurried day and night, and in order to arrive at Le'an as soon as possible, they chose a shortcut in the mountains, but accidentally found the traces of Duan Fei and a group of puppets in a valley on the way. Xiao Zhongqin decided to find out the situation first before going to Le'an. The two of them sneaked closer to see the carcasses of all kinds of livestock scattered around, all of which seemed to have been drained of blood and emitted a putrid stench. And the many puppets stood motionless at the moment, there were a lot of them, and in the middle of the puppets was a man dressed in the costume of a Dongyue general, because they didn't dare to get too close, all Xiao Zhongtan and Ling Hui didn't see Duan Fei's situation clearly for a while. Ling Hui was only a few years older than Sun Lin, and rarely went out of the valley, and when he saw the rotting livestock corpses and the evil puppets, his face gradually turned pale, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous, and almost threw up. Xiao Zhongqin was afraid that he would make a sound and alarm these puppets, so he hurriedly pulled him away quickly.

The two ran away for a while, and as soon as Ling Hui stopped, he asked Xiao Zhongqin, "Master, aren't we going to come out this time to deal with this kind of disgusting evil?" ”

Xiao Zhongqin glanced at Ling Hui and replied angrily, "What do you think?" ”

"These evil spirits say they are ghosts, I think they are exalted, you better let me go back first, I can't deal with them." Ling Hui wanted to run away after saying that.

"You stop me, I said you can't give me some breath, how can you say that you have also been in Qinggu for so many years, it is rare to come out and go back like this." Of course Xiao Zhongqin would not let him go back, he knew that his disciple had been extremely afraid of trouble since he was a child, if it weren't for his not bad nature and his martial arts talent, he would have wanted to kick him out of Qinggu a long time ago.

Seeing that Master was a little moved, Ling Hui reluctantly stopped and said, "Master, it's not that I'm afraid of things, I saw these evil things, and I guess I have already vomited to death before I can fight, this is not a shame for us Qinggu." ”

"You're talking nonsense, I'll throw you among the puppets." Xiao Zhongqin was already a little angry.

"These demons are puppets, so the person in the middle we just saw should be the one who controls these puppets." Although Ling Hui was afraid of trouble, he had also roughly observed the puppet for a while and basically knew the situation.

Xiao Zhongqin relieved his anger a little, it seemed that this Ling Hui had just observed carefully, so he replied to him lightly: "It should be, but I can't figure out how to control these puppets, and I can probably only guess that these puppets need to drink blood to maintain." ”

When Ling Hui heard the blood drinking, he remembered the corpses of the livestock around him just now, and he felt nauseous again, he covered his mouth and waved his hand again and again, signaling Xiao Zhongtan not to say any more.

When Xiao Zhongtan saw Ling Hui's appearance, he glared at him in disgust, and continued, "Let's wait here for a while to see what happens to these puppets. ”

When Ling Hui heard Xiao Zhongqin's words, he couldn't care about his disgust, and said in shock: "What? You still want to be here, or Master is here, your martial arts are extraordinary, I can't resist it, so let's go to Le'an to find the people of Tianjian Villa first. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you are not a good disciple, why did I accept such an apprentice as you, it is really a shame for my martial arts." After Xiao Zhongqin finished speaking, he grabbed Ling Hui, and the two of them moved closer to the puppet again.

Yu Si is also coming towards the side of Duan Fei's puppet army at this moment, in order to avoid the scouts of the Jinfan Army, he will prepare some livestock every few days and send them to Duan Fei's puppet hiding place, the puppets need blood to maintain their vitality, although there are quite a lot of birds and beasts in the valley, but there are many puppets, he still needs to prepare some to transport them over, to ensure that these puppets can be put into the battlefield at any time.

Xiao Zhongqin and Ling Hui hid on the side, and when they saw a team of people coming over with several carts of livestock, they hurriedly hid. When the convoy arrived at the entrance, only a young man who looked like a scholar was left, and the rest of the drivers hurriedly turned around and went back. After waiting for a while, the puppets slowly walked towards the livestock, and as soon as they got close to the livestock, the puppets suddenly went crazy, snatched their prey, bit open the throats of the animals, and frantically sucked up the blood. Although it was not the first time Yu Si had seen this scene, there was still a trace of cold sweat oozing from his back, and he left the puppet for some distance and stood silently in the distance.

When Ling Hui saw this scene, he really couldn't hold it back, and after retching twice, he suddenly vomited. His vomit immediately attracted Yu Si's attention, and Yu Si's figure moved, passed through the puppet, and walked quickly in the direction of Xiao Zhongqin and Ling Hui. The puppets also seemed to sense something, and several puppets who were close to suddenly put down the livestock in their hands, followed behind Yu Si, and slowly walked towards the hiding place of the two.

Xiao Zhongqin regretted a little at this time, he should have promised to let Ling Hui go back just now, this kid is not enough to succeed, if he is entangled by these puppets, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the two of them to escape from their skin. But at this moment, it was difficult to ride a tiger, Yu Si and the puppet were getting closer and closer, Xiao Zhongqin patted Ling Hui on the back and asked him to go first, he jumped up, waved his palms, and two strong true martial forces crashed into Yu Si from both sides. Yu Si immediately sensed the strength of this energy, he didn't dare to take it hard, he wanted to hide sideways, but he was still swept by the strength of his left arm, which was injured by Peng Yiwei before, he was in pain, staggered a few steps, barely stood still, and saw a middle-aged man opposite, seven feet tall, quite thin, thin lips and sword eyebrows, and his body was already full of strong energy.

Yu Si was very depressed, since he came to Dongyue, he has been meeting some unknown masters in the past few days, from the dirty clothes Taoist to Peng Yiwei, and now the middle-aged man in front of him, these people are not on the martial arts list, but the means are more powerful than the other. He immediately decided to leave first.

When Xiao Zhongqin saw Yu Si, he concluded that this person must be from the Jiuli clan, and since he personally sent it to the door, he decided to capture it first and interrogate him. Seeing that Yu Si wanted to run, he jumped high, quickly passed through the puppet that was approaching, and directly slapped his true martial energy with one palm, and flew towards Yu Si.

Yu Si's left arm was injured, so he could only hurriedly swing his right palm to resist, and the strength of the two was a little worse, and as soon as they collided, Yu Si was knocked away. But he was quite clever, and struggled to get up and run into the valley woods. Just as the two of them rushed into the woods one after the other, people from the Heavenly Sword Villa appeared in the forest.

Several disciples of Tianjian Villa found that there was a horse team full of livestock going out in Le'an City, which was quite strange, and immediately returned to the camp of the Jinfan Army to inform Peng Yiwei and Xu Chengsheng, Peng Yiwei heard the words and immediately chased out to see what was going on, Xu Chengsheng was afraid that the fifth uncle would let go of the Jiuli people like last time, leaving two male disciples, and took the remaining four people to rush over with Peng Yiyi, in order to avoid being discovered, so he kept a distance, until he saw the horsemen retreating from the entrance of the valley, and the group of people immediately rushed into the valley, and happened to pass by the woods, bumped into Yu Si and Xiao Zhongqin, who was chasing.

Yu Si saw that there was Peng Yiwei in front of him and Xiao Zhongtan in the back, he was really secretly bitter, and just when he was a little desperate, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the two female disciples of the Heavenly Sword Villa falling on the left side, and he suddenly waved his hand to the left side, and a black water qi directly hit the two female disciples. When the two female disciples saw Yu Si attacking them, they immediately took out their swords and threw out several sword flowers to resist the black water qi, while Yu Si quickly stepped forward, bent down, and passed between the two while the two were busy dealing with the black water qi, and when they turned around, they pinched the throat of one of the female disciples with one hand.

Xu Chengsheng saw that his junior sister was controlled by Yu Si, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Don't mess around." Peng Yiwei faintly appeared at the tip of the long sword. The rest of the disciples were also extremely nervous, swinging their swords to surround Yu Si.

This hand made everyone in the woods stunned, Xiao Zhongqin stepped forward angrily and yelled at Yu Si: "You have the ability to let go of that female doll and fight with me." ”

Yu Si smiled sinisterly and said: "You are all masters, I think I am invincible, but now I have a hostage in my hands, if you let me leave safely, I will let her go, otherwise it would be good for me to die here and pull such a beautiful girl on her back." After speaking, the female disciple snorted in pain.

Several disciples all looked at Xu Chengsheng, and Xu Chengsheng glanced at Peng Yiwei, who was ready to go, and Xiao Zhongqin, who was standing aside, and slowly stepped forward and said, "As long as you let Senior Sister Su go, we will let you leave." ”
