So next, Zhou Qing began to send people, constantly recruiting young and middle-aged people, and expanding the strength of the defenders, after all, the defenders are the most fundamental force in Tiexiong Pass.

And the task of training this batch of recruits fell to Hong Zhan.

When he asked Tiancheng, Hong Zhan served as the commander of the defending army, and his ability to govern the army was very good.

Moreover, Hong Zhan himself also has the strength of the Purple Mansion Realm, not counting Zhou Qing and a few people, Hong Zhan is almost the strongest existence in Tiexiong Pass.

Hong Zhan knew how to use soldiers very well, and in a very short period of time, he almost established his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of Tiexiong Pass.

In this regard, Zhou Qing was greatly satisfied, and the escort force of Tiexiong Pass was gradually growing.

Another day passed.

Early the next morning.

In the room, Zhou Qing was still frantically absorbing the power in the Heart of Thunder, and under his unscrupulous absorption, the power in the Heart of Thunder was already decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bang bang......

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhou Qing suddenly woke up, he pushed the door out, looked at Yang Fan with an anxious face, and frowned: "What's going on?" Why are you so flustered?"

Yang Fan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Qing, it's not good. One of the people came to report that he seemed to have seen an army from the Qingxuan Dynasty that had infiltrated the Tiexiong Pass. ”

Zhou Qing's face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Take me to see that people, I want to know the specific situation." ”

In the hall, Zhou Qing listened to a plainly dressed man, telling everything he had seen, and gradually, Zhou Qing's brows furrowed more and more.

"Qingfeng Town, a large number of strangers who suddenly appeared should be from the Qingxuan Dynasty. Zhou Qing said in a deep voice.

Obviously, at this time when war was about to break out in Tiexiong Pass, a large number of strangers appeared here, which was a bit too unusual.

"Zhou Qing, the people of the Qingxuan Dynasty, have infiltrated the Tiexiong Pass, so does this mean that the army of the Qingxuan Dynasty has also arrived. Yang Fan said worriedly.

"Probably not. Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "With Luoshui's resistance, the many armies of the Qingxuan Dynasty will not be so fast if they want to cross Luoshui, and those people who appear in Qingfeng Town should just be a small team that came to explore the way." Yang Fan, you stay in the City Lord's Mansion, what is the situation, do a good job of dealing with it, I will take someone to Qingfeng Town to have a look. ”

After some arrangements, Zhou Qing went to Qingfeng Town with Shen Rong and Shangguan Yi.

Now, Zhou Qing's Thunder Palm is only half a step away from being able to successfully cultivate the second level, although he has not been able to defeat the powerhouse of the Linggang Realm, but in the territory of the Purple Mansion, he is almost invincible.

Zhou Qing believed that the Qingxuan Dynasty should not have the possibility of being able to send a Linggang Realm powerhouse to enter Tiexiong Pass, so it was enough for the three of them to go to Qingfeng Town.

Qingfeng Town, located in the southwest of Tiexiong Pass, this town is not too big.

On weekdays, most of the people in the town know each other, but today, in the only tavern in Qingfeng Town, there is a group of unfamiliar faces.

There was no sound between the walks, but their steps seemed steady and powerful, and it was clear that this was not a group of ordinary people.

The dozen or so people sat down at a few tables, they ordered some wine and food, and began to eat, and those people neither talked nor spoke, and for a while, the atmosphere in this small tavern seemed very depressing.

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Qing and the three of them also entered the tavern.

Zhou Qing's gaze swept over those people's bodies, and under the perception of spiritual power, he quickly noticed the military uniforms of the Qingxuan Dynasty hidden under the clothes of those people.

"Sure enough, it's someone from the Qingxuan Dynasty. Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

Among these dozen people, the strongest one should be at the level of the Purple Mansion Realm, and Zhou Qing can easily deal with these people.

However, he didn't make a move, but sat down by the window, silently observing these people, obviously, these people entered Tiexiong Pass, it was not just as simple as eating something, what Zhou Qing wanted to know was their real intentions.

The dozen or so people of the Qingxuan Dynasty were still eating, and everything seemed to be very calm.

At this time, a young man of about twenty years old strode into the tavern.

The young man looked at the old shopkeeper of the tavern and laughed, "Old shopkeeper, old rules. Fill the flask for me, and bring me two taels of beef. ”

The old shopkeeper of the tavern clearly knew the young man, he just nodded, and after a while, he handed the flask and beef to the young man's hand.

"Thank you, old shopkeeper. The young man waved his hand and turned to leave.

Suddenly, at the table where everyone in the Qingxuan Dynasty was sitting, a tall man, Huo Ran got up, and when the man turned around, his burly body slammed into the young man's body.

Bang!

The young man's slightly thin body quickly retreated, and he slammed into a table, grinning in pain.

"Boy, you're fucking looking for death!" the tall man, looking at the young man coldly, roared angrily with murderous intent on his face.

"Big man, you...... How unreasonable are you. It's obvious that you hit me, and you even scolded me. The young man got up from the ground, blushing, and pointed at the man and shouted.

At this time, the old shopkeeper of the tavern quietly walked to the young man's side and whispered: "Lin Yi, you can't afford to mess with this person, don't say it, let's go!"

The young man named Lin Yi seemed to understand the unusual identity of the man, and then thought of the fact that in the past few days, the Qingxuan Dynasty had launched a war, Lin Yi faintly guessed something, he pursed his lips, was silent, and walked towards the outside of the tavern.

"Let's go, stinky boy, where do you want to go? If you don't kneel down and apologize to grandpa today, I'll let you die." The man stepped out, and his big and powerful hand, like an eagle's claw, grabbed towards Lin Yi.

Zhou Qing looked at that scene, his eyes suddenly cold, he knew that the man had already killed Lin Yi, and Lin Yi did not cultivate at all, once the man caught Lin Yi, then he was afraid that there would be no good result.

Just when Zhou Qing wanted to help Lin Yi, at this moment, outside the tavern, a sharp long sword tore through the air and burst out.

The brilliant sword light, like a frightening rainbow, shone in the tavern, and the next moment, a red blood poured out from the man's arm.

The long sword that suddenly flew out actually cut off the man's arm directly.

Bite!

The long sword pierced into the wall of the tavern, trembling continuously, making a crisp buzzing sound, Zhou Qing looked at the long sword, and he suddenly thought of something.

Suddenly, Zhou Qing turned his head and looked towards the door of the tavern, and immediately, he saw a man in a linen gray shirt walking slowly past, and then he was shocked: "Li Haoran!"
