Shi Yu'er pressed her eyebrows with a little headache, "Xu Zuo, you are right, this is their own fault, not to mention these people." โ
After a pause, she continued: "There is a problem with this Ruixiang Courtyard, the girl in this brothel actually has the courage to kill the officer who came to seek pleasure, this is not an ordinary girl, and there is such a big thing as a matchless son, he actually did not show up, I guess he is not really sick, nine times out of ten he is no longer in Ruixiang Courtyard, in short, the identity of these people is not simple, and it is very likely that we are the opponent of the devil." Shi Yu'er groaned.
Xu Xifeng nodded, "They are most likely from the rivers and lakes." โ
"I have to check the peerless son." Shi Yuer said.
When the two of them said this, a voice came to their ears not far away, this voice was not very noticeable in the noisy sound, but the two of them were martial arts practitioners, and their hearing was better than ordinary people, so they could hear it clearly.
"I said, merchants from Yandu have been pouring into our Qingdai City recently, do you know why?" One humanity.
"I really noticed when you said that, why is that?" Another asked.
"Because Yandu's business has not been doing well recently." The man in front replied.
"Why is that?" The man in the back asked.
"After the three princes came to power, they began to implement a new tax law, and the government tripled the original tax revenue, not only did the merchants not bear the burden of taxation, so they had to withdraw and seek development in other cities. The man in front of him said with a lamented face.
"As soon as the regent came to power, this was the case, and the people will have a harder time in the future." The man in the back sighed.
"Yes, I also heard that he mobilized 100,000 soldiers from the city defense battalion to search for a woman named Situ Nanyun in Yandu City, and also blocked the city gate and forbade the people of Yandu from entering and leaving, which made people panic for a while." Another man interjected.
"I've heard about this, and I've heard that there's a reward order for 10,000 taels of gold, it's a lot of money, and if you find someone, you'll get rich." A man with a golden light in his eyes joined in.
"Did you find the woman you said later?" Another person asked again.
"There are so many people, can you still catch them? That night, a place called Xiuyun Medicine Hall suddenly burst into flames, and the flames could be seen for several miles, and I heard that the next morning, the people of the city camp carried out hundreds of corpses from inside. The man who spoke first replied.
"According to you, the woman was not burned to death by fire?" The questioning man continued.
"This is very likely, it is said that the outside of the Xiuyun Medicine Hall was surrounded that night, and then the surrounding houses caught fire, and I see, the people inside couldn't get out." The man in front replied.
Xu Xifeng's face gradually turned white, and his anger was combined, and a pair of chopsticks were unconsciously crushed by him, and Meiya's face was also full of melancholy, and she muttered: "Is Yun'er really buried in the sea of fire?" โ
Xu Xifeng glared at her, "Meiya, don't talk nonsense, Yun'er, she will be fine." โ
Shi Yu'er looked at Xu Xifeng's face that turned pale because of worry, a tingling pain flashed in her heart, realizing that she had thoughts about him that she shouldn't have, she looked away, and after calming down her emotions, she said, "Don't listen to their nonsense, Miss Situ is still alive." โ
Xu Xifeng glanced at her, "Oh, the deputy master also knows about this?" โ
"I also just received the news not long ago, and I haven't had time to tell you that Yan Yujun ordered people to surround the Xiuyun Medicine Hall, Miss Situ escaped, and my father trapped her with the Ten Palaces Yama, but then she was rescued by Bai Mu Yao."
Xu Xifeng's face was silent, and the dangerous scene of Situ Nanyun escaping and being trapped by the Ten Palaces Yama appeared in his mind, and his worried heart was still beating a little uncontrollably.
Hearing Shi Yu'er's words, he groaned; "Bai Mu Yao and Yun'er are not related, I suspect that this person must have some intention to save her."
"Baimu Yao has a strange personality, it's rare to see him behave like this, I believe that since he rescued Miss Situ from my father's hands, he shouldn't harm him, otherwise he wouldn't have to save people, wouldn't he?" Shi Yuer analyzed.
"According to what you say, Yun'er is really fine, great, Yun'er is really a Jiren with her own natural appearance." Meiya breathed a sigh of relief.
A few people were talking, and two people left the table, although they were very inconspicuous, but they did not escape Shi Yu'er's eyes, she followed and walked out, and she saw the two people hurrying out.
She whistled, and not long after, a small, delicate white bird landed in her palm.
"Xue Ling, catch up with those two."
After the snow spirit "chirped" in response to its master, it waved its white wings and immediately flew towards the two men.
Shi Yu'er turned around and returned to her seat, and explained to Xu Xifeng and the two: "Just now, two people suddenly left and went out, I suspected that they were from the Feng Sect, so I followed them, and sure enough, my guess was confirmed. โ
"Oh, did the deputy master see something?" Xu Xifeng couldn't help but ask curiously.
"When they got up, I just heard the news of Situ Nanyun's accident, and I began to wonder if they were from the Feng Sect, and when I went out, I saw the backs of them leaving in a hurry, their steps revealed their anxiety, and it seemed that the goal of running was also very clear." Shi Yuer replied.
"But it's possible to go out and have an urgent matter temporarily?" Xu Xifeng said.
"No, the ordinary tourists and businessmen of this Quartet Inn will not be like this, they usually don't chat here for an hour or two, they won't leave in such a hurry, no matter what, I have released the snow spirit, it will give me an accurate answer."
"If these people are really from the Wind Sect, then we can lure the snake out of the cave next." Xu Xifeng knew that the Snow Spirit Bird was a little worried, and his face did not change.
"That's right, next, we can annihilate the Wind Sect here in one fell swoop, just in time to clear these roadblocks for the 60,000 troops who captured the phoenix." Shi Yuer said with a smile.
Meiya looked at the two of them in a daze, and heard the clouds, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?" โ
Shi Yu'er looked at her with a smile, "Meiya, you just take care of our food and housing, you don't need to know too much about the rest, and you don't understand it." โ
"You're smart, right, you still look down on people, don't tell me if you don't want to tell me, I don't want to know." Miya pouted.
At night, the cold wind was blowing, the night sky was clear, and even the stars in the sky showed a compelling cold, Shi Yuer and Xu Xifeng walked in the small courtyard of the Sifang Inn.
Shi Yu'er looked up at the stars in the sky, and then looked at Xu Xifeng in front of him and said, "Xu Zuo, did you say that the people of the Feng Sect will go back tomorrow night to attack Yanluo Valley?" โ
"There is no flaw in the game laid out by the deputy master today, and the area around Yanluo Valley is deserted, and there are high mountains on both sides, which is a good place to attack." Xu Xifeng said.
"In this way, that's the best, there are many strongholds of the Wind Sect, lead them all to Yanluo Valley and annihilate them in one fell swoop, saving us from uprooting them one by one." Shi Yuer said with a smile.
At this time, in the Fengqing Inn, more than a dozen people were discussing in a secret room.
"Qingdi, you said that Yan Yujun's 60,000 military horses are going to pass through the area of Yanluo Valley, is this news true?" One person asked.
"Qingmian, this news should be true, Yan Yujun launched an army of 60,000 people to set off from the east gate of Jinping City, bypassed the first line of the Luohuang Slope, and arrived at Huadian City through Pingsha Town, we received it ten days ago, and today we received the news that they have arrived in Huameng City, according to their marching route and marching speed, they will inevitably pass through Yanluo Valley and then arrive at Qingdai City, and then it is expected to arrive at Yanluo Valley tomorrow. Moreover, in the past few days, the demons have been secretly moving around in order to welcome the army into the city, just to clear the obstacles. Moreover, this afternoon, we were attacked by demons, and we also found information from them that they would arrive at the valley of the wild goose tomorrow, which is consistent with our suspicions. Qingdi said very confidently.
"But how could the devilish man suddenly appear at our Breeze Inn this time and attack us?" Qingmian was still a little puzzled.
"Qingmian, you are too cautious, isn't it normal for demonic people to fight us once or twice, find our stronghold, and then attack? Moreover, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Yanluo Valley is very long, stretching for more than ten miles, and there are high mountains and lush forests on both sides, which is a good place for surprise attacks. Qingdi said.
"But our Fengzong only has a few hundred people in Qingdai City, and the Yanluo Valley has an army of 60,000, we have so few people, even if we take advantage of the terrain, we can't destroy how many of their men and horses, will this be too aggressive? Moreover, we are in a hurry and unprepared. Another voice sounded in confusion.
"Qingtian, when did you become so timid." Qingdi glanced at him, and then said: "The wild goose falls into the valley and the high mountains, it is evening, the sky is dark, it is the right time and place, this opportunity is rare, even if we can't wipe them out, this time we can make them suffer heavy losses, and the forests on both sides of the river are our best cover, we can retreat after the attack." โ
"Besides, I have already reported to the Fengzong of Huameng City about the manpower problem you mentioned, and I have made an appointment to meet at Qingmian Mountain in Yanluo Valley tomorrow, and there are more than 1,000 people on both sides of us. And half a month ago, in the first line of the Falling Slope, our Feng Sect only had 500 people, so we killed 30,000 of them without leaving a single piece of armor, so we can also do it this time. Qingdi then said quite excitedly.
"Since this is the case, then we will act immediately, and I and Qingcheng will be responsible for the transportation of all the stones and logs used in the battle." Qingmian has been moved by Qingdi's words, and said with a statement.
"Well, Qingjiang and I are responsible for collecting and transporting the things that cause fire, it's winter, the weather is dry, and you can use the fire attack." Qingtian continued.
"I'll be in charge of mobilizing the archers, and when you're done with the rocks and fireballs, it'll be up to me." The other followed.
"Qingsha, you are responsible for shooting, then I will be responsible for releasing poison to clean up the remnants of the troops, I will lead a team of men and horses to sprinkle spider powder on the ground at the mouth of the valley, this poison is colorless and odorless, as long as you smell a little in the air, you can be poisoned and die,." Someone spoke out again.
"Everyone's plan is feasible, and they are all executed according to you. Qingshui and Qingshan are responsible for connecting with the people of the Feng Sect in Huameng City, and deploying manpower everywhere, now the time is urgent, and there is no room for delay, so everyone will do it separately. Qingdi said.
"Also, everything can only be done in secret, so don't let the devil find out." He added.
Everyone dispersed, and at this time, a white bird on the roof of the secret room, which everyone could not notice, also flew away.
