Chapter 267, the sword envoy guards
The row of houses was more dilapidated than the rest of the camp, and in some places the earth had peeled away, revealing the bamboo hedges inside, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.
His gaze swept between the houses, and after making sure that there was no figure, Lu Yun withdrew his gaze. At this time, Han Xingze had already run around the camp for a hundred laps and came to him panting.
"I've done enough 100 laps." There was anger in his eyes, and it could be seen that Han Xingze was trying very hard to restrain himself.
"Report on the latest situation in the Central Plains."
From Han Xingze's mouth, Lu Yun learned about the situation in the Central Plains. This Guardian force has been isolated and helpless, but fortunately, the main force of the Necromantic Legion went to Donghao Kingdom, and they were able to survive and stay here to fight the remaining Necromancy. Not long ago, the Grim Reaper Dryes came back to life, and after returning to the Central Plains region, he gathered troops in the western part of Broken Soul Ridge. Today, Broken Soul Ridge is full of undead soldiers.
To the west and south of the camp, a necromantic unit was stationed. They attacked the camp several times, only to be repelled by the Guardians. However, their presence poses a serious threat to the security of the camp.
When Lu Yun inquired about the situation of these two troops, Han Xingze knew nothing. His reason was that the camp was surrounded, and they had only passive defense, and they were not able to take the initiative to attack.
After a brief understanding of the situation, Lu Yun said: "Our task is to cooperate with the Western Expedition of the Donghao Kingdom to destroy the Necromantic Legion. From now on, all Guardians are in combat readiness and ready to fight. ”
Han Xingze snorted: "The army of Donghao Kingdom? We've never had any contact with each other, how does that work together? What's more, we are now in a situation of isolation and helplessness, which is really a bit reluctant. ”
It's clear that you can't get along with him. Lu Yun stared at Han Xingze's eyes, sneered, and slowly moved his right hand to the Qinglong Sword. Seeing his action, Han Xingze's body froze for a moment, and then said, "I heard that the sword envoy once defeated Dreyfus, and also destroyed the siege equipment of the necromancer among the ten thousand armies. There was a reluctant request from his subordinates, asking the sword envoy to probe the enemy's intelligence on his behalf. Only by grasping the enemy's situation can we draw up a detailed combat plan. ”

Since there is a task, Lu Yun intends to take a step back, and everything develops according to the plot, which is the wisest. He took the task and said, "Okay, I'll find out what the enemy is doing." Han Xue, you stay in the camp and be in charge of training the guardians. ”
Out of the camp, Lu Yun chose the necromantic station in the south, and after walking for a while, a forest appeared in front of him.
"Roar!" As soon as they walked into the woods, three mutant bat demons rushed up with heavy steps with their tridents. With a bang, the green dragon sword was unsheathed, and the cyan water waves flowed, stirring up a cold sword qi. With a clear dragon groan, the green dragon sword slashed through a graceful arc, slicing through the body of a bat demon with a snort, bringing up a canopy of turquoise blood.
“-4085!”
With a V-shaped jump, Lu Yun dodged the attack of the bat demon, and the swift shadow slashed the sword blade, and the ghostly light flashed, cutting through the body of the other bat demon.
“-4569!” Paralysis!
After the three monsters were lured together, the Qinglong Sword stirred up the sword wave of the falling moon slash, and with a brush, it slashed through the bodies of the three monsters. On tiptoe, he took a few steps back, and the green dragon sword swept away, and the sword that pierced the heart swept past the monster. "Poof, poof!" The two bat demons fell in response. The remaining bat demon was also seriously injured, and when he was about to turn around and flee, he was killed by Lu Yun with a slash in the air.
On the ground, a dozen silver coins glittered, and a tabula rasa's spear. Lu Yun walked up and picked up the loot on the ground. Suddenly, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him behind him, and it felt the same as what happened in the barracks.
Turning back suddenly, I felt a flower in front of me, and a black shadow quickly flashed to the east, submerged behind a tree. "Targeted?" This feeling made Lu Yun very uncomfortable, he didn't think about it, and immediately chased after it with a dragon flash. In three flashes in a row, he caught up with the figure.
"Buzz!" The Blue Dragon Sword stopped in front of the "Black Shadow", blocking his way.
In front of him was an old man with a pale face, whose name was "??? It looks very suspicious. He was dressed in a shabby linen coat with many holes in it, and the bony torso under the cloth could be seen. He had a sword pinned to his left waist, and under his wide sleeved robe, he was a one-armed old man.
"Who are you? weishenme eyeing me? Lu Yun asked coldly, and the green dragon sword in his hand was on the other party's neck.
"Don't get excited." The old man's chapped lips moved slightly, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out of his mouth: "We are not enemies. ”
With a snort, Lu Yun let out a sneer. Not enemies, not necessarily friends. This man was sneaky, and he had been spying on him in the Guardian camp just now. "Who are you? Weishenme can enter the Guardian camp? Lu Yun found that this is the crux of the problem. The Guardian Camp is dilapidated, but with so many Guardians stationed there, it's not easy to sneak into.
Glancing at the Qinglong Sword in Lu Yun's hand, the old man sighed heavily: "You are the current Qinglong Sword Envoy?" ”
This old man could guess his identity from the Qinglong Sword, which made Lu Yun feel very strange. Could it be that he is also the guardian of the green dragon? Even if not, at least he has something to do with the Blue Dragon Sanctuary. Thinking about this, Lu Yun's hostility suddenly decreased.
The old man said again: "My name is Han Zhenyao, and I am the escort of the previous Qinglong Sword Envoy. I want to ask you, where did you find his remains. ”
"Appointed swordsman?"
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Yun found something puzzling. At the beginning, he found the green dragon jade pendant in the crypt of Wild Vine Valley. In addition to the jade pendant, there is also a skeleton under the pool. Later, for a long time, he didn't know the mystery of the Qinglong Jade Pendant, only as a trigger item for a mission.
It wasn't until he became the Qinglong Sword Envoy that he knew that the Qinglong Jade Pendant was the Qinglong Sword, and it was the identity symbol of the Sword Envoy. So, if you look at it this way, the bones you saw when you found the jade pendant when you first found it weren't the last Qinglong Sword Envoy?
How could a dignified green dragon sword envoy die in such a place? The Weishenme Holy Envoy didn't ask about the bones of the previous sword envoy? How did this old man know that the previous sword envoy was dead?
"What other secrets do you know?" Lu Yun pointed at the old man with the Qinglong Sword again, with a cold expression.
"Tell me, please, where are his bones?" The old man looked at Lu Yun, his shining eyes full of determination.
"You're looking for his bones? Don't tell me, you just want to bury him. ”
"He can clear my name." The old man replied weakly.
Lu Yun slowly closed his eyes, thinking quickly in his mind. The envoy never mentioned the bones of his predecessor, and it was clear that he had no intention of welcoming him back. And this old man wants to welcome back the bones and clear himself of the crime, it is difficult to say whether it will be unfavorable to the Holy Envoy. As a disciple of the Holy Envoy, no matter what is hidden here, he must not do anything to be sorry for the master, which is related to his vital interests.
After thinking about it, he rejected the old man's request. The old man closed his eyes as if he had known this, and sighed softly, "I am now a sinner in the Holy Land, and I don't blame you for not believing me. However, I would like to remind you to be careful of Han Xingze. With that, he suddenly took a step back, turned around and fell a few times before disappearing into the woods.
As a result, there was no expected hidden task triggering. The old man ran as fast as he could, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. And the dragon flash skill was in the cooldown, and Lu Yun couldn't chase it anymore, so he had to give up. However, the old man asked him to be careful of Han Xingze, which aroused his interest.
Who is Han Xingze? The descendants of the former Holy Envoy are guarding the side of the Qinglong Sacred Domain. Could it be that this guy has self-respect and wants to be unfavorable to him? However, from the situation of the first meeting, it is estimated that Han Xingze does not have the courage to do so.
Lu Yun gave up this question and decided not to think about it for the time being, even if he wanted to break his head, it would be useless. As the saying goes, pave the road when you meet the mountains, and build bridges when you meet the water. If it does, I'll definitely be able to find a way to solve it.
Soon, Lu Yun scouted the two target camps and obtained the deployment of the Necromantic Legion. After returning to the Guardian Camp, he did not go to see Han Xingze, but directly found Han Xue. She must have known some of the past events in the Sanctuary very well.
In the hut, Lu Yun told her about meeting Han Zhenyao. When she heard Han Zhenyao's name, she was quite excited: "Where did you meet that traitor?" You weishenme didn't kill him with a sword? She questioned Lu Yun while grabbing Lu Yun's shirt.
Lu Yun frowned, grabbed Han Xue's hand, and stopped her from grabbing: "Who is Han Zhenyao?" Are you weishenme so excited? ”
Han Xue was stunned, took two steps back, lowered her head weakly and said, "He, he is Han Feng's protector." More than 100 years ago, he followed Han Feng to the Central Plains. Later, he betrayed the Sanctuary and killed Han Feng. After speaking, she sighed softly, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes.
If the guess is right, Han Feng should be the former Qinglong Sword Envoy, listening to his name, it is estimated that he still has something to do with Han Xue. Lu Yun said again: "However, Han Zhenyao said that he was framed, and he wanted to find Han Feng's bones and say that he could clear his name." ”
Han Xue shook her head and was noncommittal. Lu Yun said again: "After listening to Han Zhenyao's words, I am very strange. He knew that I had seen Han Feng's bones, and the Weishenme Holy Envoy never asked about it? ”
"What do you want to say?" Han Xue raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of surprise, "You, do you know where Han Feng's bones are?" Ah, yes, it was you who brought back the Qinglong Jade Pendant, you should know, you should know! Take me there! ”
Facing Han Xue, who was almost out of control, Lu Yun said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, you haven't told me yet, who Han Feng is." ”
"He's my brother!"
Han Xue's answer startled Lu Yun.
