The sky above Luoyang was clear, and suddenly a line of dark clouds appeared in the distance, and slowly the dark clouds accumulated, and the sky was overcast.

The heat in the air added a little bit, making people and animals breathless, and even ordinary people could feel that a rainstorm was coming.

After a while, there was a low muffled thunder in the air, and the thunder quickly woke up Li Rong and the others, who were discussing fiercely around the bookcase.

Then the raindrops fell intensively, hitting the tent, and there was a rustling sound, like spring eating leaves.

"The snake spirit's luck is really good," Yang Siqiao sighed softly when he heard the thunder.

Although I didn't go out to see if it was raining, I could tell from the thunder that a heavy rain was coming. Summer is a period of frequent heavy rains, and there have not been a few rains this year, so I don't know how many days it will fall this time. If the torrential rain falls for a few days, it will definitely make the water level of Luoshui rise and the water flow faster, if the snake spirit destroys the dam at this time, the water will inevitably be greater and more powerful, and no matter how many soldiers guard the imperial city, how elite these soldiers are, they will still be scattered in the face of the monstrous flood.

"If the snake spirit is not sure at all, he will not dare to use one faction to fight against one country," Li Rong said, "Okay, we have almost deduced it." Brother Yang and I will go to see Lord Chang Shiyuan, Wei Chi, you go back and wait first. ”

Yu Chi Xiu took Yang Beifeng, Dong Xuanjing and others out of the camp tent and went back to their respective camp tents.

Li Rong and Yang Siqiao walked out of the camp and went to see Yuan Xingchong together.

The raindrops are getting denser and denser, getting bigger and bigger, all the size of soybeans, and they hit the body, making people feel a slight pain.

Of course, a little rain can't help a master like Li Rong and Yang Siqiao. A faint white air shield appeared on the surface of Li Rong's body, and the raindrops slid down the air cover and fell to the ground, not getting wet.

The raindrops couldn't wet Yang Siqiao, and an invisible dark true qi emerged from his body, which fluctuated slightly, ejecting the raindrops.

"Brother Yang is indeed only one step away from the realm of the sixth grade, and the magic of true qi manipulation has already glimpsed the threshold of the sixth grade." Li Rong said.

"The trick is not elegant," Mr. Yang said.

Yang Siqiao did adopt a tricky method, he used his true qi to spray out the orifices in a regular and orderly manner to block the raindrops. It's just that the speed of the true qi spewing out is extremely fast, making people look like the body surface seems to be shrouded in an air hood, but in essence, it is not the real body protection true qi of the six-rank realm. Naturally, this shows that Yang Siqiao has a very high degree of true qi control, and it also means that he has not yet advanced to the sixth-rank realm.

While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the official hall where Yuan Xingchong was.

The soldiers guarding the door knew the identities of Li Rong and Yang Siqiao, and when they saw the two coming in, they didn't stretch out their hands to stop them, and directly let the two in.

"Yuan Ming, Si Miao, come in!" Yuan Xingchong's voice came from inside.

"See Lord Changshi," Li Rong walked into the official hall and saw Yuan Xingchong, who was sitting behind the bookcase, bowing and saluting.

Yang Siqiao also bowed to Yuan Xingchong. It is true that he is a cronie of the Queen Mother, and Yuan Xingchong's identity is not ordinary, not to mention that he is also a seven-rank innate grandmaster.

"You two have worked hard these past few days," Yuan Xingchong said gently, "Let's sit down first." ”

Li Rong and Yang Siqiao lined up on the left and right, and sat on the small stools on both sides.

"Our Lady God Emperor has ordered us to investigate the conspiracy of the snake spirit, and we should work hard." Li Rong said.

"It's not a few days before the sacrificial ceremony, Yuan Ming didn't have anything to gain at this time, and found out the snake spirit's plan." Yuan Xingchong asked.

"It's better than nothing." Li Rong said, stood up, stepped forward, and took out the attack plan that everyone had just drawn up from his arms, and attached it was a topographic map of the mountains and rivers near Luoshuiyan.

Yuan Xingchong solemnly took the paper roll, unfolded it and put it on the table, and watched it quietly.

"The snake spirit's ambition is really not small," Yuan Xingchong frowned.

The topographical map of the mountains and rivers on the paper scroll, with dense notes in small print next to it, indicated the snake spirit's possible attack plan. With Yuan Xingchong's knowledge of the snake spirit organization and the recent news obtained from other sources, it can almost confirm the authenticity of this plan.

"In addition, when we were patrolling in Beicheng, we stumbled upon a nest of the snake spirit, which seems to have a green snake with one of the six snake heads of the snake spirit." Li Rong continued.

"The lair of the snake spirit, the green snake," Yuan Xingchong said in surprise.

If the things recorded on the paper scroll are from the speculation of Li Rong and others, and there is no particularly strong evidence to confirm it, then the snake spirit's nest is ironclad evidence of the hard state, if you can sweep the nest and catch the green snake, you will definitely be able to wipe out the snake spirit's power in Luoyang, and you can make the snake spirit's plan stillborn. There are many methods and secret techniques in the Demon Gate to make the strongest iron man speak, as long as he catches the green snake, he has a way to make the green snake spit out the secrets of the snake spirit.

"Where is the snake spirit's lair?" Yuan Xingchong then asked.

"A house in Chengfufang in Beicheng," Li Rong replied.

Yuan Xingchong listened and fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping the bookcase regularly, he was thinking about a possible plan of action, to dispatch those people, what if there was Li Ruoxue in that lair, and who needed to deal with her.

Li Rong and the others naturally knew what Yuan Xingchong was thinking, so they waited silently.

"I'll handle the matter of the snake spirit's lair personally. This topographic map will be reported to the Holy Mother God Emperor for decision, and we will have to wipe Wu Chenghe's ass for him. Yuan Xingchong said, "You guys go down first, and wait for my orders at any time." ”

As the emperor's personal guard, Qianqi is not under the command of the soldiers of the Southern Ya Army, and can only be mobilized by the emperor's current personal order as the Holy Mother of God. Participating in the battle to encircle and suppress the snake spirit undoubtedly requires Wu Zetian's permission to act.

There were only a few days before the sacrificial ceremony, and Yuan Xingchong did things a little faster, and soon got a will from Wu Zetian and called Li Rong to arrange a plan to encircle and suppress the snake spirit lair.

It was still raining for a whole day, and the ground was muddy. The drainage facilities of the streets in Luoyang are good, but after all, it is loess and it is still muddy and difficult to walk after crossing the water.

In order not to reveal the rumors, and at the same time make the snake spirit unprepared. Yuan Xingchong chose to attack the snake spirit at night, so he set off with thousands of knights on the left and right, passed through the imperial city, came out of the Chengfu Gate, and went straight to Chengfu Fang.

The soldiers were dressed in pale yellow oil coats, made of yellow silk soaked in tung oil, which functioned to protect them from the rain.

Walking side by side with Yuan Xingchong is a tall middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in white, with a long knife hanging from his waist, and a noble temperament.

Yuan Xingchong, like Quan Xiancheng, was not wearing an oil coat, but also dressed in white, and said something while walking with Quan Xiancheng.

Yang Zhiyi and Li Rong followed behind, each leading a thousand knights on the left and right to follow closely behind.

Before coming, everyone formulated a detailed and careful plan according to the location provided by Li Rong, preparing to unleash a thunderous blow and capture the snake spirit rebel party in one fell swoop. As for inviting Quan Xiancheng, firstly, because Quan Xiancheng is the general in charge of Yulinwei, and secondly, he is also a rare seventh-grade grandmaster, and his martial arts are not under Yuan Xingchong, which is also to deal with the possible "snake spirit" Li Ruoxue.

The rain was still falling, and the sky was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the road. But there were two grandmaster-level masters in front of Yuan Xingchong and Quan Xiancheng, and they were all dressed in white, which were quite eye-catching at night, and there were Li Rong and Yang Zhiyi who usually trained the soldiers, and the thousand knights did not get lost.

There was silence in Chengfu Fang, only the sound of raindrops falling on the ground. In this weather, people are hiding at home, reluctant to go out, and the doors of the shop are closed tightly.

The house where Ma Jiayun hid in Chengfufang was silent, and in the room on the second floor of the two-story small building behind, Ma Jiayun sat on the couch and meditated on pranayama. Although he had healed from his injuries that day after half a month of recuperation, the loss of true qi could not be completely restored to his previous peak overnight.

After a long time, Ma Jiayun stood up, came to the window with a little joy, opened the window, looked at the dark sky outside the window, let the rain fall on his body, and felt the rare coolness.

There was also a small attic on the top of the second floor, where two black-clad snake spirit warriors stood and looked around, staring at the movements around the house.

"Someone's coming," exclaimed a samurai, looking at the faint yellowish figures that suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance, and it seemed that it was a large group of people from the imperial court.

"Praetorian guards of the imperial court!" Ma Jiayun, as a master of the six grades, has a sharp eye, and naturally discovered the arrival of a thousand knights.

Seeing the thousands of knights rushing from all sides, Ma Jiayuna didn't know that his mansion had been exposed, his face changed greatly, and then he faintly revealed a resolute expression.

At this time, two samurai in the attic ran down and shouted to Ma Jiayun to tell him about the enemy attack.

"Don't panic, lead the men to break through to the south, there are boats we have prepared on the Luoshui River. Act according to a pre-prepared plan. Ma Jiayun said coldly.

"Yes, Lord Green Snake." The samurai replied, hurriedly beckoning his companions to flee the place.

Ma Jiayun hurriedly returned to the room, took out a set of black robes, put them on his body very quickly, put a few important things into his arms, and jumped out of the window.

There are thousands of soldiers who came to round up, thinking that the other party must have a careful plan, specifically for the snake spirit, then there are definitely masters among them, and it is estimated that they may be grandmaster-level masters, which is not something they can handle.
