Winter nights are always long.

The overnight turmoil that started in Hongcheng did not end there. The cook, the scholar and the public lost Liuli, fought their way out of the siege and escaped from Hongcheng, but on the way, in addition to being chased and killed by four Haotian red-clothed priests, they also met countless Hongcheng people.

The population of each city in the empire is far larger than that of the cities of the Tieli Kingdom and the Wanzang tribe, and Hongcheng, as a trading city connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains, has a population that is not as large as that of prosperous places such as Qinzhou City, Yeyang City, and Kyoto, but it also has a large base. This is also a point that the scholar admires, Haotian Sect can brainwash the people of Hongcheng to rebel against the empire through preaching, which is indeed unexpected, at this point, the scholar's reaction is very similar to the guard pool of the Divine Soldier Absolute General Battalion, in addition, in the scholar's inference, I am afraid that today's situation will be known earlier than himself in Kyoto.

Although Tianji Pavilion is to a large extent the sworn enemy of the Molou Inn, the scholar believes that Yan Xing should be the same as himself in terms of right and wrong, and if he is not so, Yan Xing is not worthy of being his opponent.

He was curious to see how Yan Xing would break the game.

The situation is worse than the scholar had expected. If Hongcheng was full of wolf people, maybe this battle could still be fought, but now that Hongcheng is full of imperial people, and the Divine Soldier Absolute General Battalion follows Xiang Wu all the year round, the scholars naturally know the temperament of that group of generals best, and their dignity and pride will not allow them to make a move on a group of people. The scholar guessed that Wei Chi was retreating north at the moment, leaving Hongcheng and heading to the east of the city.

Ding Qiliang came out all the way, and found that the people who blocked him were all the people of Hongcheng, and he was also quite embarrassed, but he didn't hesitate to kill several crazy people. Although he understood between the lines of his previous letters that his sister was very skilled in killing people who tried to bully her, when he really saw the incomplete corpses of those people, neither the scholar nor the cook despised the public loss of Ruri.

Even if the three of them are the weakest scholars, they also learned some kung fu from Ouyang Xi, the commander of the Divine Soldier Absolute General Battalion, although they are far from being able to deal with the warriors of the rivers and lakes, but they are easy to deal with ordinary minions with a folding fan in one hand, and the people of Hongcheng are not a problem, and Ding Qiliang can shake back this group of Hongcheng people just by virtue of his momentum, not to mention the loss of Liuli, if it were not for the scholars and Ding Qiliang who are persuading each other, I am afraid that the road leading to the south gate of Hongcheng in the temple has been full of blood.

In the end, the three of them successfully escaped from Hongcheng and threw off the pursuers, and at the same time, all three of them looked into the distance and saw the battle that could be seen even at night - about the west gate of Hongcheng.

Hundreds of thousands of Haotian believers in Hongcheng rushed towards the imperial army, and at the same time, dozens of huge bronze chariots also rushed towards the imperial army. The imperial army was extremely strict, and the retreat was orderly in the past, but at this moment, the long dragon-like troops in the night were cut off several times, and Wei Chi's retreat route seemed to have been calculated by the wolf people. Fortunately, there are not many ambushes on the road north of the Hulin Gobi.

But the scholar estimated that after tonight, unless the empire transferred Xiang Wu or more troops, Hongcheng would definitely not be able to be saved. But scholars are still looking forward to seeing someone's performance.

"Liuli, you designed the bronze chariot?" After making sure to stay away from Hongcheng and get rid of the pursuers, the three of them waited for the shopkeeper in a wide field of vision, and watched the battle at the west gate of Hongcheng from a distance.

"Zhuo Ao captured Dumb at that time, he just robbed his relatives, my little follower, I can't help it, in order to save his life, I promised to help the wolf clan build a machine that can conquer the Dusk Desert." Gong Ruri said.

Then she said with some worry: "Brother, did I cause a big disaster?" ”

"No, remember what I told you before, we have to keep ourselves worthwhile at all times. The reason for this is that we will be needed, and secondly, it will make it difficult to find out our hole cards. Such a chariot, although powerful, is too slow, and I believe it is not your hole card. The scholar said.

"Shall I help the Imperials build a stronger vehicle?" Gongyi Liuli asked, as long as the scholar said yes, she would agree, regardless of the imperial people who had done everything possible to kill her in the past six years.

"No, when someone appears, we'll negotiate and let the empire owe you a favor." The scholar said.

"Who has that power?" It was the cook who spoke.

"Emperor Yueluo among the four generals of Emperor Star." The scholar said.

The cook knew that above the camp of the Divine Soldiers, there was also an institution of the Emperor Star Department under the Dragon General, because the meteorite in the first year of the Qin calendar fell on the Qin Ye Plain, and the establishment of the Emperor Star Department of the empire was a major event for the entire empire and even the mainland.

The Imperial Star Department has always had four Imperial Generals, and although they are under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Generals, they are rarely active in major wars, and are more often the emperor's guards. Only when the empire is in real danger will the emperor star generals be dispatched.

The strength of the Emperor Star General is not weaker than that of the heads of the nine major factions, and each Emperor Star General also has the bloodline talent that the Qin royal family can have, the will of the Emperor of Heaven.

The cook pursed his lips and said, "If it was just an Emperor Star General, although the Emperor Fenglie was powerful at the beginning, he was still beheaded by this shopkeeper." ”

Having said that, every time Dan Qiliang recalled that battle, he pinched a cold sweat for the shopkeeper and for himself and everyone in Tiankeng City at that time. The duel between Emperor Fenglie and the shopkeeper was actually Emperor Fenglie's carelessness in the end. The light and heavy will of the Emperor of Heaven can deal with the attack of the shopkeeper and the wind and sand respectively. When it belongs to a very powerful ability.

The scholar shook his head and said: "Today's four generals of Emperor Star, Emperor Fenglie and Emperor Xiaoyu are both veterans, although Emperor Fenglie is already extremely strong, but he is arrogant, cruel to the enemy, and his strength is also the weakest of the four generals of Emperor Star." Although the veteran is more experienced on the battlefield, but this continent full of geniuses, talent is really important, the youngest of the four generals of Emperor Star is Di Yundu, and he is also the successor of Xiang Wu, but the strongest is Di Yueluo. ”

These are all imperial secrets, and they are also known to scholars from Xiang Wu's mouth.

In the chef's mind, he thought that the difference in strength between the four generals of Emperor Star should not be large. After seeing the strength of so many masters in the martial arts conference, the chef no longer regarded the people at the peak of the Nine Leaves realm as ghosts and gods as before.

But seeing the scholar's demeanor when he talked about Di Yueluo, he was still a little curious: "How strong is this Di Yueluo." ”

The scholar shook his head and said: "Di Yueluo is the same age as me, but he is very mysterious, he once challenged Xiang Wu, when he was sixteen years old, it was also the second year I went to Frost River, and only Xiang Wu and Di Yueluo himself knew what happened in that battle. The result was naturally Xiang Wu's victory, after all, the dragon general was the pinnacle existence of this world. Xiang Wu did not evaluate Emperor Yueluo in detail, only said that Emperor Xing was the strongest, and he had trained the will of the Heavenly Emperor to the extreme. Now that so much time has passed, how strong Di Yueluo is is already a mystery. ”

"Sixteen-year-old is the strongest in the Emperor Star Division?" The cook was a little shocked.

"Yes, this time the empire did not send the dragon general to sit in Hongcheng, except because the Tieli people are too strong, and because the empire sent the second combat force under the dragon general, so the commander of the divine soldier absolute general battalion who is now sitting in the imperial company camp is not the supreme commander of the imperial side in this war."

The three of them continued to talk, talking about the war. The cook could tell that the scholar was not too concerned about the safety of the empire. Even at the time of this national crisis, the scholar was a little happy, naturally not because of schadenfreude, but because of the reunion of brother and sister.

In the dialogue, Ding Qiliang finally understood why this little girl was so important to the three major countries.

She only provided the design of the chariot, which was not too strong in the public loser's technique, so that the werewolves, who had never been able to conquer the Dusk Desert, could break through the Empire's defenses in an almost devastating manner, and the Imperial army was forced to withdraw from the north. The most difficult northern region has not yet withdrawn its troops, but the western region has already lost a city.

The hundreds of thousands of civilians in Hongcheng alone, although tricky, could not pose a threat to the 100,000 best soldiers of the empire at all. The most powerful threat is naturally the werewolves, as well as the bronze chariots.

But listening to the conversation between the public loss glass and the scholar, this level of war machine seems to be just a toy, and he can't help but wonder, how much destructive power can the real public loss secret treasure have on the battlefield? The cook couldn't help but wonder why the empire would execute the loser, if such a powerful family could treat each other with courtesy, I am afraid that this continent would have been pacified.

It's just that history has become a foregone conclusion, and no one knows the real reason why the public loser and the Shen family were wiped out. The only one who knows is the Qin Xianhuang who disappeared after passing on the throne.

The three of them chatted for a while, and the shopkeeper arrived.

This is a small road to the inn, they have already discussed the route of return, after escaping from Hongcheng, the cook and the scholar are waiting here for the shopkeeper, but they didn't expect that the shopkeeper will come much faster than they imagined.

"Why aren't you hurt?" The cook was curious.

Even scholars felt incredible.

"If you don't fight, you won't get hurt." Chen Hui said as a matter of course.

"The two High Priests of the Haotian Sect just let you go?" Ding Qiliang didn't believe it.

Gong Yu Liuli looked at the dumb behind Chenhui, and also breathed a sigh of relief, although the injury was serious, but there were no new injuries, and Zhuota had previously killed the dumb in order to prevent him from killing him too quickly, every move was extremely measured, although it could cause strong pain, but it was not a fatal injury.

"Of course they didn't want to let me go, but I was lucky. Or maybe I'm finally getting better luck. ”

Chen Hui spoke, and at the same time, everyone began to walk towards the inn.

"There's no reason, the strength of those two brothers is not weak, and Zhuo Ao is the strongest person in the grassland, so you left unscathed."

The answer to the facts surprised Ding Qiliang.

"Because they can't break the wind and sand. I brought a seriously injured person, so naturally I couldn't really fight them, and after you left, I trapped everyone in the main hall of the temple with wind and sand. ”

Ding Qiliang was stunned, no wonder the intensity of the pursuit was so small, and the enemies were all trapped by the shopkeeper.

"Speaking of which, luck is good, the previous dragon king mastered a certain secret method of Taoism, and he didn't need to use his form to guide qi, and the later three-life array made me unable to cast the wind and sand, and then the later emperor Feng Lietian Emperor couldn't even trap the wind and sand, and Xie Xingshi was able to break the wind and sand because of the special lion roar skill, although the master's move was powerful, but for some martial artists with special skills, they couldn't deal with it, but this time, my opponent couldn't break free." Chen Hui was very proud.

Soon, they came to the inn.

When heading to Hongcheng, Chen Hui parked the inn in a wasteland south of Hongcheng, which was one of the borders between the empire and the Wanzang tribe, but it had always been a wasteland and inaccessible to people.

After walking into the inn, when Gong Ruli looked at the building, he inexplicably had a very strange sense of intimacy, as if he was familiar.

"Brother, I seem to have seen this building."

It's a wonderful sense of immediacy, those forgotten memories or scenes that appear in dreams lurk in the depths of consciousness, and when you suddenly see that picture at a certain moment, you have not seen it or have long forgotten it, but you have a feeling as if you have seen it somewhere. This is the case with the public loss glass at this moment.

The scholar smiled and said, "This inn is actually related to you. ”

Chen Hui also realized what the scholar said, and said with a smile: "In this way, in fact, I, the shopkeeper, are not the main owner of the inn. ”

I don't know much about the glass of the public loss.

The scholar said: "Liuli, this inn is the first floor in the world built by your grandfather and the old man. Aside from the thirteen treasure troves you've searched, this is your grandfather's last work. ”

Gong Lose Liuli was stunned, she had no impression of these things, although she had this kind of intimacy, but she didn't have much sense of belonging to the identity of the public loser. Over the years, she has preferred to be Shen Liuli.

The scholar understood what Gongyi Liuli was thinking at the moment, and he said through Chenhui's words: "Fortunately, now it is not the first floor in the world, and there is no first floor in the world, shopkeeper, you are the owner of this inn, you once said that the significance of the last floor inn is greater than the first floor in the world, I believe that for us, it is the same." The first floor of the world brought me and Liuli, all of which were bad memories, but the last floor inn was different. ”

The cook also said: "The first floor of the world has never been my life-saving place. has never saved countless Chu people in Tiankeng City, and the impression left by the first floor of the world is just the treasure of the troubled martial arts. ”

Gongyu Liuli said: "Brother shopkeeper, it looks like you are very powerful. ”

Chen Hui smiled: "I'm a little embarrassed to be praised by you like this, Xiao Liuli, I'm not good, but I'm just lucky, I met a cook, someone like your brother, and Feng Zhan, Ah Xiu, the inn will be your home in the future." ”

Naturally, I was very happy to lose the glass.

"Ah Xiu...... Is it a big sister? ”

"Ah Xiu is actually two years older than you, just like you, she is a cute girl." Chen Hui said.

"That's great!" The public loses the glass jump.

"Why, isn't it enough to have so many big brothers to protect you?" Chen Hui smiled.

Gong Ruli raised his little face and snorted: "That's definitely different, how can you understand the girl's thing." ”

The cute appearance attracted everyone's attention.

The addition of the public loss glass added a lot of joy to the inn, and then Chen Hui settled down the room of the public loss glass, and also settled the dumb room, leaving the cook and the public loss glass to take care of the dumb, after everything was done, Chen Hui wanted to discuss the next plan with the scholar, and it happened that the scholar also found Chen Hui, and he had something to say to Chen Hui.

The scholar's demeanor looked a little strange. Chen Hui knew that what he wanted to say must not be convenient to say in the inn. So there was a tacit understanding, and the two left the inn in the middle of the night and went to talk somewhere.

Although the entire area of the Western Regions is a little hot because of the scorching Red Lotus Hell in the extreme west all year round, the winter nights are still a little cool.

"Sir, I have something to say," Chen Hui and the scholar wandered through the uninhabited wasteland.

"That little scholar, what are you going to do to arrange the friend you saved today?" The scholar said directly.

"Naturally, he stayed in the inn, he should be very important in Xiao Liuli's heart, and he also showed courage to Xiao Liuli." Chen Hui said.

"It's not suitable for such a useless person to appear in your inn." The scholar did not bend around and directly pointed out his own point of view.

Chen Hui stopped, looked at the scholar and said, "Mr. doesn't want him to stay?" “

The scholar said: "I naturally know his heart for my sister, but I don't accept it. ”

(Well, there's something going on this afternoon, including the evening, so that's all for now.) ）
