Chapter 681: Into the Mountain

"Okay, I'll go forward with you again," Thinking that it was okay to go back, it was better to talk to Lin Xuanzhong more, and Qingyi decided not to go back for the time being.

"Okay," said a simple promise, and Lin Xuanzhong said no more. Because of the things he said to Qing Yi just now, Lin Xuanzhong's mood is also very complicated now, on the one hand, there is the problem of the Night Country, and on the other hand, the problem at hand is the problem at hand, and the problems on both sides are extremely serious, Lin Xuanzhong has no time to think about leaving the army now.

In fact, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to walk on the mountain more because he wanted to be alone quietly, and having Qingyi with him didn't seem to be conducive to expressing his emotions, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't let Qingyi go back.

There are more and more moss on the bluestone, and the further you go, the more slippery the road becomes, and the further you go, the darker the color of the road becomes, and the city wall in front of them seems to be completely connected to the heavy mountain in front of them.

"Qingfeng, do you know that in the past two days, there have been many benevolent and righteous people from all over the Wing Country who have gone to defect to the coalition forces of the two countries?" Speaking of which, a person like Qing Yi who does not have a high comprehension ability has an outstanding ability to inquire about the news, maybe Qing Yi knows some things that are not as specific as Lin Xuanzhong's, but he must know more than Lin Xuanzhong.

"Didn't it say that it was difficult for our spies to get close to the camp of the coalition forces, how did you know about this?" Qing Yi's question surprised Lin Xuanzhong, and put down what he was thinking, Lin Xuanzhong directly cast a questioning look at Qing Yi.

"You don't need to get close to the coalition camp to know this, there are our men in many of the neighboring cities to the south, and the news is coming from those places. ”

"I see," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong did not question Qing Yi's explanation at all, but felt that he was not thoughtful.

"What was the result of those people who went to join the coalition army?" Lin Xuanzhong heard the news earlier that the people who first went to join the coalition army were all arrested by the coalition army as a night army, as for the current situation, Lin Xuanzhong didn't know very well.

"Before, everyone was arrested because of the small number of people who defected to the coalition army, but now because of the large number of people who go, the coalition army has begun to accept them," although it is impossible to obtain specific information about the coalition camp, the answer that Qingyi said is very certain.

"Take it for your own use," said silently, and Lin Xuanzhong was even more surprised by Qing Yi's answer. After a moment of surprise, he continued to ask, "What is the strength of those who went to join the coalition army?"

"It varies from high to low, but I heard that there are high-level martial arts cultivators in it. ”

Qing Yi's tone was not very sure, but it was enough for Lin Xuanzhong. According to Lin Xuanzhong's guess, at first, the coalition forces may not look down on those who went to take refuge in them at all, but later, with the increase in the number of people in the past and the emergence of some high-level martial cultivators, the high-level leaders of the coalition army changed their minds. The coalition forces are powerful, but they must not refuse the good things that come to their doors.

Although he couldn't understand why those so-called people with lofty ideals wanted to join the coalition army, Lin Xuanzhong could still see that the hatred of the night army must have exceeded their recognition of the royal family of the Wing Country, so one by one they did not join the Wing Army to defend the imperial capital, but came from afar to join the coalition army.

Regardless of the real reason for those people joining the coalition army, the overall strength of the coalition army will definitely increase as a result, which is not good news for the night army, presumably the above has already seen this matter in detail, but the specific news has not yet been conveyed. In a blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong thought of many things again. It's just that the more he knows, the more he will be hit, and what Qing Yi seems to have said inadvertently is enough to destroy Lin Xuanzhong's already unfirm will.

If there are still a large number of people who continue to defect to the coalition forces in the future, it is not difficult to imagine that the next time the coalition forces come to attack the city, that group of forces alone will be able to cause a great impact on the night army. After thinking of this, Lin Xuanzhong realized the seriousness of this problem more and more.

"Qingfeng, why don't you speak?" Seeing Lin Xuanzhong's face constantly changing, as if he was trying his best to think about what he said, Qing Yi was surprised by the fact that Lin Xuanzhong didn't know about it, so after Lin Xuanzhong thought about it for a while, Qing Yi slowly spoke.

"I'm thinking about what you just said," Raising his head, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the city wall that was about to come to the end, and felt anxious in his heart for no reason. Unexpectedly, the situation was even more serious than imagined, and Lin Xuanzhong, who realized it later, was even more shocked.

"Qingfeng, do you have something on your mind?" Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong's face became more and more ugly for a while, Qing Yi became more and more puzzled.

"It's nothing," shook his head, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to explain too much to make Qingyi worried.

"There are some villages under the mountain over there, let's go there and take a walk!" Seeing some residences from afar, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly thought of walking around the village because he thought of Xingyu's relationship.

"Well," I don't know where Lin Xuanzhong got his interest, and Qingyi didn't refuse. It didn't take long for the two of them to finally reach the end of the western wall.

"See the general," to Lin Xuanzhong's surprise, there were quite a few night soldiers guarding the side of the city wall, and the leading commander was still Zhang Shuibao, who Lin Xuanzhong was familiar with. remembered that when Yu Tong deliberately embarrassed himself, he asked Zhang Shuibao to compete with him, and then thinking that now Yu Tong is no more, a feeling of time has passed spontaneously, Lin Xuanzhong misses that time very much.

"En," nodding to Zhang Shuibao and the other soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong went down the stairs at the corner directly with Qing Yi.

The long stone staircase, also paved with bluestone bricks, looks like it has been many years old, and there is moss growing everywhere along the slits where the stone bricks connect, giving the impression of walking on an ancient road. However, there are obvious footsteps in the middle area of the stone staircase, and it is obvious that there are still people walking. There are many houses facing the stone staircase, because it is located on the edge of the city, the houses are scattered and there are no special buildings.

After descending from the stone staircase, Lin Xuanzhong continued to walk west with Qing Yi, following a mountain road that had been walked by people until he reached the vicinity of the houses. It's far enough away from the bustling area of Fancheng that the environment is extremely quiet. Because it was still morning, there was still a cold atmosphere at the foot of the mountain.

Further on, the figures of some villagers appeared in the sight of the two, and at the same time, the two could hear some chaotic sounds.

"Qingfeng, what are you doing in the mountains?" Walking the rugged path down the mountain, Qing Yi really didn't understand why Lin Xuanzhong wanted to come to such a place.

"Come and go," Lin Xuanzhong just smiled faintly, speaking of which, Lin Xuanzhong also liked the silence of this remote place. In this environment, Lin Xuanzhong's body and mind can calm down. And compared with the slaughter on Fancheng's side, everything in this place made Lin Xuanzhong feel full of life.

"Then do you want to go to the village to have a look?" Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong seemed to be very interested in coming to this kind of place, Qingyi couldn't help but propose to Lin Xuanzhong.

"No need, let's just walk along the village," if he was wearing normal clothes, Lin Xuanzhong might still go to the village, but now that both of them are dressed in military uniforms, if they go directly to the village, they will probably scare the villagers, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't want to destroy that peace, so it is enough for Lin Xuanzhong to walk around the village.

"There seems to be some situation over there, let's go over there and take a look," After a while, Qing Yi, who was walking on the mountainside, noticed that there were many figures in a place, and immediately pointed out to Lin Xuanzhong next to him.

Following what Qing Yi pointed to, Lin Xuanzhong clearly saw that there was a location not far from the village where there were many villagers, running around as if they were chasing something. If you look closely, there is a strange-looking beast among the villagers.

The scene of those villagers working together to chase a fierce beast made Lin Xuanzhong curious, because according to Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts, those villagers should not have the ability to hunt fierce beasts.

"Okay," said a simple promise, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to see why those villagers dared to hunt a fierce beast. So, the two of them walked directly to the place down the mountain.

The closer they were, the two of them naturally saw more clearly, those villagers seemed to be very afraid of the fierce beast, although they blocked the fierce beast between them, but they didn't dare to get too close. On the other side, the beast seemed to be equally afraid of the villagers, running around but never attacking the surrounding villagers. According to Lin Xuanzhong's guess, either the fierce beast that those people were chasing was a cub, or there was another reason. Judging from the size of the fierce beast, Lin Xuanzhong still chose the second possibility.

After a while, the two of them were already close.

"Hurry up. ”

"Over there. ”

"Over there. ”

"Be careful. ”

......

In front of the two of them, more than a dozen strong men were wearing single coats and holding utensils, and under the command of one person, they kept waving ropes to restrain the fierce beast, and it seemed that those people wanted to capture the fierce beast with bright fur alive. However, this is strange enough, based on Lin Xuanzhong's assessment of the strength of those villagers, those people should have killed the fierce beast directly. Besides, what is the use of only holding ordinary sticks and ropes, the more he looks at Lin Xuanzhong, the more curious he becomes.

At the same time, Qing Yi on the side saw that those people seemed to be capable of dealing with that fierce beast, and immediately put down his hand that was touching the longbow, and like Lin Xuanzhong, he was curious to think about what those villagers wanted to do to catch that fierce beast alive.

On the other side, the villagers over there had already noticed the appearance of the two, but just looking at their clothes, they became nervous one by one. To those people, the figures of the two were far more terrifying than the huge beast.

"Uncle, what are you going to do with that fierce beast?" Because he couldn't understand it, Lin Xuanzhong simply went over and asked directly.

"The two adults don't know, that fierce beast is not an ordinary fierce beast," Lin Xuanzhong, who greeted Lin Xuanzhong, who was in charge of directing others to capture the fierce beast, trembled, even if he was on crutches, he had to bend down and salute the two, and the tone of his reply was even more indescribably respectful.
