From the branches to the leaves, every tree in the forest was as black as death, and the swift hunting wind blew through the forest, as if it were about to be dyed the same black by the trees.

And the gray-haired wolf followed the whistling black hunting wind, with solemn expressions of men and women, running fast in the black forest.

When Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan came out of the formation of Afang Palace, it was already noon on the second day, and the bright sunlight was shining through the gaps in the leaves, dotting the black forest with dazzling light spots.

And Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan did not hesitate, and after quietly sneaking out of the guards on the periphery of Afang Palace, they rode on the gray-haired wolf, and quickly ran along the road they came, rushing back to Lingcheng.

Yes, when Zhang Liang discovered the secret of Afang Palace, Ling Chi, which was hidden thousands of kilometers deep, he made a decision without any hesitation, and went back immediately, rushing back as fast as possible!

They were wrong from the beginning, from the moment they thought they had discovered the truth about the inner kingdom and uncovered the true face of the tyrant of Yingzheng. Whether it was Liu Bang or Xiang Yu, when they thought that they had seen the situation of Qin Chu clearly and decided to mobilize all their forces to storm the storm in the autumn of the survival of a great country, they actually didn't know that they had fallen into the situation that Yingzheng had already set up.

How could they have thought that Ying Zheng would actually use an army of 250,000 people to set off a national war as a cover, to cover up his real conspiracy and purpose!

"It's okay...... It's okay......" Zhang Liang sighed secretly in his heart, fortunately, when he left Lingcheng, he persuaded Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to abandon Lingcheng according to his plan and not to engage the enemy army who came to fight...... Fortunately, he had already prepared a stable strategy, otherwise, if they really started a war in Lingcheng, then there would be no point in what they would do now. And now, on the road, he can only hope that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang will not make any mistakes in the enemy's plan in Lingcheng...... They can't afford to be wrong.

"Yingzheng's move is really ruthless...... Zhang conscience couldn't help but sigh in his heart, can he not be ruthless in sacrificing the lives of 250,000 people! But think about it, the whole chess game laid by Ying Zheng is too ruthless.

This man who is born with the bright pupils of a dragon once in a thousand years completely regards the life of the world like an ant!

But when I think about it, the person named Bian Que is also terrifying...... From the information he got from Liu Bang, Zhang Liang knew that Bian Que had practiced both the Dao of Medicine and the Dao of Demons, and his strength was quite terrifying, but now, Zhang Liang knew that he could actually use ancient magic and demons! And it will also be forbidden in the ancient magic and magic path!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Liangxin couldn't help but secretly sigh: "What the teacher said is right, in this world, there are still many hidden amazing people......

But now, it is difficult for them to move in chess, because when Zhang Liang faced Ling Chi, he could sense that Ling Chi's gestation was nearing the end...... The time they still have, very little.

And the gray-haired wolf is running in the black forest with all its strength, as if it can also keenly smell the seriousness of the situation, and wants to save Zhang Lianghua Mulan's time as much as possible!

——Mausoleum——

It was summer, and the midday sun was so hot that I didn't want to go anywhere, so I stayed quietly under the gazebo.

Because the ground was too hard, and he thought the straw mat was too ugly, so he led his big white horse to the pavilion, and then he lay on the horse's back, half-closed his eyes, and took a leisurely rest.

"Alas...... This is the only way to relax in such a horrible place......" Roaming sighed softly, and he felt like hell at the thought that he was now living in the same city as two hundred and fifty thousand men, and that there was not a single woman here!

"But I'm the deputy commander of the First Army! I am Haoran, a righteous and ambitious, responsible and suave senior deputy marshal! Roaming suddenly shouted, "Such a handsome senior deputy marshal can't leave 250,000 troops alone!" Even if they're all rough men! ”

"Who made me the senior deputy marshal?" Roaming lay on horseback, stretched out his hands, and shouted helplessly and indulgently.

"Senior Deputy Marshal ......" The voices of several soldiers suddenly sounded.

"Ahh At this time, the roaming who was stretching out his hands and shouting unwillingly was immediately startled by the sound of "Deputy Marshal Gao", and the whole person suddenly fell to the ground from the horse.

When several soldiers saw the deputy marshal fall, they immediately ran over to help him.

"No, you don't! No! The first reaction of the roaming who fell to the ground was not to get up, but to reach out and stop a few soldiers, "I can get up myself...... There are always accidents when walking the rivers and lakes, and this little thing is no problem for your senior deputy marshal! ”

So Roaming immediately stood up from the ground, and then looked at the four or five soldiers who suddenly appeared, interrupted his silence and scared him down, and smiled: "Look, I said it's okay!" ”。

A few soldiers also looked at the roaming in embarrassment and laughed along.

After laughing, Roaming immediately changed his face, frowned and said to them, "Didn't I tell you to go to lunch?" Why did you run here again? Do you know what it is to disobey the commander's orders? ”

Seeing that Roaming was angry, several soldiers immediately knelt on the ground, clasped their fists and shouted: "The deputy marshal is angry, the deputy marshal is angry...... We, we have something very important to report! ”

"Something very important?" Roaming asked suspiciously, "What's the important thing?" ”

At this time, several soldiers looked at each other, and they stopped talking, and finally, a soldier standing in the middle spoke.

"Senior Vice Marshal...... Listen to us, we really think it's weird......"

"That's right, when you first entered the city two days ago, didn't you give an order, let us go to all parts of the city to search for any food left behind by the people who couldn't take it away, saying that during the special period, we can collect it first to fill the army food, and then we can double it back to the people in the future......" The soldier said this, paused for a moment, and quietly watched the roaming.

"Well, well, there's such a thing......" Roaming said as he looked at the soldier, bowed slightly, and said with a serious face. But in his heart, he wondered, "What! Have I ever given such an order? I don't have any impressions......"

Then the soldier continued: "So we followed your instructions and searched the houses of every house in the city to find the grain - but the result was very surprising, our team searched thousands of houses in the city, and found that not to mention the grain was not found in the house!" The rice bowl is all empty, and there is even a thick layer of mold! The soldier paused again, looking at Roaming with a surprised expression.

"Hmm...... Maybe the people here have been gone for a long time......" Roaming said with a serious face, but he was entangled in his heart, ", big brother, you are really sincere!" I'll just say casually, you don't have to search so carefully...... We have enough food to eat! ”

"Impossible!" The soldier immediately said, "Xiang Yu, they have only been in Lingcheng for less than a month, and the previous Lingcheng should still be prosperous and prosperous, and the people live happily!" And there is still water in the water tank at home, and there is no dust on the bed and floor, which means that people lived here not long ago."

"Hmm...... So what do you think? Roaming looked at the soldier slightly puzzled, and asked with a serious expression. But his heart became more and more entangled, "You detective! What do you want to do with all this? Why is the search so clear? …… Aren't you tired? ”

"At first, we didn't really care much about ......," the soldier's expression became more serious, "but then, something even weirder...... Our army of 250,000 people are all strong young people who were hand-picked and recruited by the Holy Lord from all over Qin and Chu three years ago, and many of them are from Lingcheng, an important city of the country's transportation hub, after they entered the city, they naturally couldn't help but go home to see, although they knew that the people in the city were gone, and their relatives were not there, but they still couldn't help but want to go back and see their home for three years - but when they returned home, they found that the emergency food box hidden at home was gone......"

"You may not know this senior deputy marshal, many years ago, when Xu Fu was in trouble with the dynasty, he used the emperor's prestige to steal a lot of people's grain among the people. In order to deal with it, the people have secretly built some secret grain in the walls or under the floor of their homes as emergency food boxes, and they will never eat them at ordinary times, nor take them away, but put them at home, so as not to have any accidents, and people can still have something to satisfy their hunger when they come to the house...... Therefore, it is impossible for the people to take away the food that needs urgently...... However, the emergency food boxes are also empty! The soldier paused again, his face full of horror.

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Roaming still looked serious, really didn't know what to say, just entangled repeatedly in his heart, "You say! Go on! You don't have to look at me...... I really don't know what to say! ”

After a pause, the soldier finally came out of his frightened look, "Even the emergency food boxes are empty—this is something that can only happen in a famine year without any food!" But after His Royal Highness Yingzheng ascended the throne as the emperor, he returned Qin Chu to a country and peace and security, and the world was peaceful! Taxes are also reduced! In this way, people should live in abundance, and they will never be so poor that they can even eat up their emergency food! This...... It's just horrible, it's weird! So in the face of this strange situation, we immediately organized people to go to the civilian fields inside the Lingcheng City and the official fields outside the city to check——"

"It turned out! All the fields are barren and uncultivated for a long time - but judging from the current situation, the climate of Lingcheng in recent years should be very good, and there will never be a major drought that causes the fields to be barren! Since there is no climate problem, and the fields are all barren, and the people of the city have nothing to eat, there is not the slightest food in the whole city—why is there such a terrible situation? Why are there fields and not ploughed? And if there is no food, how will those people live? The soldier paused again, his gaze narrowly watching the roaming.

"Hmm...... This...... Could it be that something is wrong? Roaming was stared at up close by the soldier, and immediately said casually with a serious face. And the heart was so entangled that it was almost vomiting blood, "You are awesome! You detectives are a family! So sharp, so logical, and so fast, what kind of soldiers are you going to be? Tang Cao's Di Renjie can be laid off, you go to manage Dali Temple! Go on! Anyway, you're all so awesome, and you still ask me for my opinion? Am I important? ”

"The subordinates don't know...... But our guess is that something very unexpected and terrible may have happened. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for a huge and prosperous city like Lingcheng to be reduced to a situation of barren fields and lack of food......" the soldier said, his voice becoming anxious, "The problem is that now we have just arrived in Lingcheng, and there is only an empty city left for us, and we don't know anything!" But this bleak and desolate scene is in front of them again, which makes people very anxious, especially those soldiers who were born in Lingcheng, they are now very worried about the situation of their families, and they are also very confused, what happened in Lingcheng, in short, the mood is very low. And everyone in the barracks worked and ate together, and the suspicions in Lingcheng soon spread, and the depressed mood of those soldiers also spread among the army...... Everyone has not returned home from the army for several years, and they are very worried about the situation at home, and now seeing that the prosperous mausoleum city has become so desolate and desolate, they can't help but worry about the situation in their hometown city and the situation of their families...... All in all, anxiety and worry are spreading in the military, and it can turn into a big problem...... Senior Vice Marshal. This time, the soldier finally finished speaking, and after calling out to the senior lieutenant, he quietly watched the roaming, and several soldiers looked at him like this, hoping to find some firm faith in their commander.

"Hmm...... This ......" roaming with a solemn look, this is really dignified, if there is a problem with the army's heart, it is really a big problem, but he can't think of how to solve this matter, he can only complain in his heart, "You said that you are a few big-headed soldiers, what are you doing so clearly!" What a problem this has caused me! The morale of the army is shaken, this pit is big! ”

"In this way, you will pass on my order first, so that everyone does not think about it, I will immediately write to Your Majesty and ask Qingling City for the past three years...... Oh no, the situation of the entire Qin Chu in the past three years, let everyone not worry! Roaming racked his brains and thought about it, but he could only reply perfunctorily like this.

Several of the soldiers also felt that this was a safer way for now, so they nodded repeatedly, then bowed to the roam, and then turned and ran to give orders.

"Hey...... Finally fooled over......" Roaming looked at the distant figures of the soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, "This deputy commander is really not good!" ”

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew from the sky, shining through the scorching sun, blowing on the roaming body, blowing his blonde hair messily flying.

And the sound of music was blown into the vast mausoleum city by this strong wind, and also into the hearts of all the people in the city.

Listen carefully, isn't that magnificent and melodious piece of music the most famous representative track of Qin Chu - the Song of the Clouds!

——Xianyang Palace, Imperial Palace Cabinet——

The bright red and pure king's blood made the final flutter between Bian Que's palms, and a steady stream of demonic blue energy from Bian Que's palms was thin, gently and firmly binding that drop of king's blood, and slowly condensing that drop of blood, until it lost all the luster of blood, and finally condensed into a coagulated blood bead under Bian Que's medical demon dao refining.

And Ying Zheng stood quietly on the side of the cabinet secret room, not disturbing Bian Que, who was concentrating on refining medicine, and his royal aura was also slightly silent at this time.

"It's done...... Bian Que pinched the drop of crimson blood with two fingers and came to Ying Zheng, looked at him quietly and said, "The blood purification pill you want." ”

"It's hard work...... Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to take the blood purification pill, and he didn't look at it much, so he put it directly into his arms, and then said in a deep voice, "Go and rest, you've been delayed for a long time in Xianyang Palace, it's time to go back to Ling Chi......"

"Hmm...... In the final period, I really have to be cautious, I will recover the exhausted Demon Blue and immediately rush back to the Black Ground Afang Palace......" Bian Que said expressionlessly, "You can also prepare......"

"Time...... Not much"

"I know ......," Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "I am ready, and I have already obtained one of our last key items." ”

As he spoke, Ying Zheng's other hand took out a small object from his arms and spread it out in front of Bian Que, only to see a drop of crystal-like crystal crystal ice appearing in the eyes of the two, and the faint nameless cold breath made both of them feel shocked in their hearts.

"Cold tears," Ying Zheng whispered, "this last piece of the puzzle is finally in my hands." ”
