Chapter 61: Can't Catch Up with Change (May the Motherland Be Richer and Stronger)
Zhang Qing chatted a lot with Su Qin and Ah Niu, mainly to inform the two of them of Liu Yan's strength, so that the two of them could also be mentally prepared. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win all battles.
It turned out that Liu Yan was also a martial arts practitioner, and his cultivation had already entered the third or fourth layer of the spirit realm. However, because he has a lot of elite soldiers and fierce generals, few people see him make a move.
Under Liu Yan's account, there are senior generals at the rank of captain, ten members. The cultivation is all around the first and second layers of the spirit body! Each of the ten lieutenants commanded a team and was stationed in the barracks, which were rarely on the road except during the Great War. Like before, when the Yellow Turban Thieves came to attack Zhuojun, these ten captains did not fight, but guarded Liu Yan's left and right.
There are also dozens of other mid-level generals at the rank of captain, and their cultivation is about eight to ten layers of the barbarian body.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers below the rank of lieutenant, which is considered the military strength of the entire county.
Among them, the biggest threat to their interception of the prisoner car this time was the supreme general under Liu Yan's account...... The general level of the general is cultivated, and the cultivation is around the seventh or eighth layer of the spirit body! Usually the general guards are around Liu Yan and protect his safety closely.
After introducing Liu Yan's overall strength, Zhang Qing obviously felt tired due to a day's travel, so he resigned from Su Qin and went back to the room to rest alone.
At this moment, it was the third watch in the middle of the night, but Su Qin and Ah Niu were completely sleepy. Su Qin dispersed his spiritual sense and inquired about the movements around him, only to find that the surroundings were empty and empty! So, he climbed out of the courtyard wall with Ah Niu and took advantage of the night to walk towards his home.
Along the way, although they also met some patrol officers and soldiers, with the skills of Su Qin and Ah Niu, they easily bypassed and successfully arrived at their long-lost home.
The appearance of home is still so familiar, and it has not changed much, but at this moment it is empty, and in the cool night, it feels desolate.
Su Qin walked around the room and found that the room was still neat and tidy, and there was no sign of being turned over. It seems that Liu Yan didn't plan to turn over something in this house, so he didn't rummage around.
In the room in spring, summer, autumn and winter, Su Qin also saw four swords, neatly hung on the wall, which were the four mortal high-grade swords he bought for their four brothers and sisters back then, long swords!
"These four hard-working children!"
Su Qin stroked the four swords, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, and after staying in the room for a while, Su Qin took off the four swords, and then took advantage of the dawn to sneak back to Zhang Qing's house with Ah Niu.
This Zhang Qing was ready to burn the jade, so he had already sent his wife and children out of the city, and he was left alone in the entire courtyard, which was very convenient for Su Qin and the two of them to enter and exit.
When they returned to the courtyard, the whole courtyard was still quiet, and the two of them did not make a single movement, and returned to their rooms.
After coming back, Su Qin let Ah Niu rest alone, while he continued to cultivate in the room.
In two days, the prisoner interception truck plan will be carried out, and then there will inevitably be a big battle. Although with the strength of the second layer of his innate spirit body, it was enough to compete with Liu Yan's chief sect, plus Ah Niu's fifth layer of the Heavenly Dao spirit body, it should not be a problem to deal with those ten captains. But he feels that it is better for him to be safe, and in case of an unexpected situation, it is more practical to rely on his own strength!
And Su Qin first chose to cultivate the "Canglong Jue". Because the power brought by the aura blessing was enough to increase his overall strength by several times, and his Canglong Technique was faintly showing signs of breaking through. He was confident that within these two days, he would advance to the third level of the spirit body!
As for the "Soul Condensing Illusion Technique", the progress is too slow, and it has no particularly obvious effect on the improvement of combat power.
And "Yuan Shi Sheng Xiang Gong", due to the destruction of the Soul Mansion, along with his memory of the Yuan Shi Sheng Xiang Gong, was also ruined, and he could only continue to practice after the Soul Mansion was restored.
After dawn, Su Qin had sensed that Zhang Qing was already coming towards him, so he hurriedly interrupted his cultivation and went out to greet Zhang Qing's arrival.
It turned out that Zhang Qing was still going to enter the government mansion to be on duty, and he stopped by to find out the news about Zhang Gui's family. He came this time to inform Su Qin and Ah Niu, and to remind the two of them not to go out, the search for the two of them in the city was in a tense period.
After Zhang Qing left, Su Qin cultivated with Ah Niu again, striving to improve his combat power as much as possible before hijacking the prisoner car.
Ah Niu's "Golden Armor Divine Skill" has been cultivated to the first volume: The Great Perfection of the Iron Realm. When the magic skill was run again, the color of the thick iron on his body was already faintly a little silver and white scattered in it.
However, after he stopped running the exercises, the small silvery-white spots, as well as the color of thick iron, would disappear immediately. There is a clear difference with the gold on Su Qin's body. Although the golden cortex on Su Qin's body will fade as Su Qin stops running the exercises, it will not disappear completely.
This may be the difference between the Divine Rank Exercises and the Xuan Rank.
Su Qin still continued to cultivate the Canglong Jue, and now he could already feel that the aura in the dantian had been condensed by him a lot, and some of it had already become very viscous, and it was only one step away from liquefaction.
As dusk approached, a vibration came from within Su Qin's dantian, and the fourth layer of the spirit body had successfully broken through.
I saw that another layer of spiritual liquid in the dantian had been added, and it was close to filling half of the dantian. And when he used the aura again, the speed was several times faster than before, and he could instantly move into his palms, and even the speed of the winding increased a lot, and there was even enough aura to wrap his entire palm, but also around his arms. It can be clearly felt that the aura coming from his arms is imposing!
Ah Niu's cultivation speed is a little slower, and he has not yet entered the silver realm, but the silver spots on his body have become more and more, and they are still dense, faintly about to merge into a piece of silver armor!
When the two of them were still continuing to cultivate, there was a sudden sound of the door opening in the courtyard, and the two of them hurriedly interrupted their cultivation and quickly looked out through the crack in the door, only to find that it was Zhang Qing who had returned home from duty.
Zhang Qing reported today's situation with the two of them, and it was normal. And he successfully entered death row again today, revealing their rescue plan to Zhang Gui's family, so that they could also be mentally prepared.
After that, Zhang Qing took out the wine and food and Su Qin, and Ah Niu had a full meal, and finally the three of them rested early to recuperate for tomorrow's plan to rob the prisoner car.
Early the next morning, Zhang Qing led Su Qin and Ah Niu, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early and there were few pedestrians on the street, and took the two of them to the narrow alley that had been planned before, and ambushed them first.
The three of them agreed on a code, as long as Zhang Qing roared, the three of them would work together here, and quickly retreated to the city gate after hijacking the prisoner car.
After everything was ready, Zhang Qing hurriedly went to the official palace to take duty. Today, the team responsible for escorting Zhang Gui's family to the downtown of the city to behead the public, including Zhang Qing's name. So, he had to report early.
Su Qin and Ah Niu quietly stood at the alley, patiently waiting for the team escorting the prisoner car to pass by.
After about a few hours, when the sun was about to climb overhead, Su Qin's ears suddenly moved, and as if he heard movement, he immediately jumped up, lay on the base of the wall, and looked into the distance intently.
Seeing this, Ah Niu also hurriedly lay down, and at the same time held the Xuanguang Blood Shadow Axe in the palm of his hand, and looked into the distance with a solemn gaze.
A moment later, in the direction of the two of them, a group of figures began to appear, and then the sound of gongs could be heard to give way, and then more figures appeared in their field of vision, even the prisoner cart began to appear.
Su Qin held the five-colored Lie Yan halberd in his hand and stared at the front tightly, just waiting for the prisoner cart to approach before he was about to make a move.
However, when the prisoner cart got closer and closer, Su Qin suddenly realized that something was wrong.
In the escort team, there were a total of three prisoner cars, one of which held a man, and when you looked at it from a distance, you could see that the other party was in tatters and unkempt, but it was impossible to see the true face of the other party. But the figure of the other party and his brother...... Zhang Gui is about the same. However, in Su Qin's eyes, this man did not give him a very good feeling, and he did not have that kind of intimacy between relatives at all. With the feeling of being with his brother day and night, he was not sure that this was his brother.
In his heart full of suspicion, Su Qin looked at the second prisoner car again. I want to further confirm my doubts.
In the second prison car, a woman was imprisoned, and from a distance, the whole body looked very much like his sister-in-law. It was also in tatters, unkempt, and couldn't see its original face at all. Moreover, even that strange feeling is exactly the same as the first prisoner car.
The suspicion in Su Qin's eyes was even stronger, but he was still not sure, so he could only lock his gaze on the third prisoner car.
In this prison car, four children were chained, and they were also in tatters, unkempt, and completely unrecognizable. And the body shape of the four of them is also very similar to spring, summer, autumn and winter.
But the strangeness they gave Su Qin was even stronger. After all, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter stayed with him the longest, and he was trained by him, so Su Qin knew every move of the four of them.
Therefore, after looking at the four children in the third prisoner car, Su Qin became even more determined in his thoughts.
And what makes people even more suspicious is that the team escorting the felons seems to be some old and weak soldiers, and they can't see that there are elite soldiers pressing the formation, and the other party is moving slower and slower after entering their field of vision, as if they are deliberately delaying......
"There must be ghosts!"
After observing for a moment, Su Qin held down Ah Niu, who was about to move, and quickly dispersed his spiritual sense.
Zhang Gui and his wife did not practice. Therefore, according to common sense, there will definitely be no flow of aura in their bodies. But when Su Qin's spiritual sense swept over the bodies of the two of them, he found that there was a spiritual aura that was not weaker than that of a strong person in the Spirit Body Realm, flowing through them.
And when his spiritual sense swept over the four children, he didn't find a trace of aura.
"Let's retreat, something happened to Zhang Qing!"
Su Qin whispered to Ah Niu, then turned around and quickly retreated to the depths of the alley, and Ah Niu heard the words and hurriedly followed.
Let Su Qin be more sure that the important evidence that the plan has been leaked this time is not the prisoners in the three prisoner cars, but in the team escorting the prisoner cars, after his spiritual sense searched several times, but he never found Zhang Qing's figure.
