Chapter 43: The Transformation of Dragon City (6)

Just after Xuanyi and his entourage entered the ruined temple, the black-pressed cavalry brigade occupied the entire area, and the scene of people shouting and neighing horses was very noisy.

"My lord, a few miles further is Deyang Mansion!" a soldier pointed to the general direction on the map, indicating the general beside him.

The general at the head looked at the surrounding environment before ordering: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, and the guards are ordered to temporarily rest here tonight for the night, and then set up camp tomorrow morning!"

"Obey!" Hearing this order, many knights with tired faces responded with joy on their faces, and the military orders were conveyed to all the guards, and all the soldiers dismounted and began to set up camp one after another.

"My lord, the road from the entrance of the town to the official road has been occupied by them!"

"I've never seen this armor before, maybe it's a private army somewhere! If it's a horse thief, it shouldn't have such a neat military appearance and elite equipment. Wang Zhe came to a conclusion after careful observation.

Xuanyi had been scanned as early as the arrival of the group, and their identities were unknown question mark characters except for their names. Xuanyi has long been aware of this function by using the wood core to check other people's information many times, and generally speaking, there are only two situations that can shield the wood core from scanning: one is that the other party's strength is at least two levels higher than that of Xuanyi, and the other is what special identity concealment technique the other party used, and this concealing identity technique is much more sophisticated than the general disguise technique.

Xuanyi stared at the black-clothed and black-armored knight below for a long time, and decided to rest in the ruined temple for the sake of safety.

"Hide the horses, let's go to the temple for one night and then make plans!" Xuanyi ordered softly, and the two guards carefully took out the hoof wrap and the strip cloth bag, covered the horse's mouth and hooves respectively, and led them to the small bushes behind the temple to hide them.

Wang Zhe led four guards to take the lead in a battle formation, and entered the broken temple one step ahead to investigate and eliminate possible dangers. After a while, Wang Zhe poked his head out of the temple gate and made a safe gesture towards Xuanyi, and the group entered the broken temple.

The temple in front of him was dilapidated, full of broken walls and ruins, and the unknown weeds at the base of the wall grew more than a man tall. The evening breeze blew, and a puff of dust flew in all directions.

"My lord, this way! it's cleaner here!" Wang Zhe beckoned to Xuanyi by the wall not far away, it was rare that he had found a "treasure land" in such a dilapidated place. The gray-brown walls are intact, a few stone bricks have been laid on the floor, and on the other side is a long wooden table, which is empty, but there are faintly several oval imprints, presumably from the long-term placement of tributes.

Xuanyi walked to the wall and sat on the ground, put the weapons and luggage on the wooden table, and took the noodles and biscuits handed by Wang Zhe and ate them. Several guards carefully moved the planks and stones to make an improvised barricade at the temple gate, while the other two climbed to the roof to act as guards, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Wang Zhe leaned over to Xuanyi and sat down, took off his heavy riding boots without any image, and groaned with satisfaction while rubbing the sore soles of his feet. Xuanyi looked at the man in front of him who had "followed" him for many years, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

Everyone did not light a fire, and simply took action after dinner, as the highest status in the group, Xuanyi could naturally be exempted from staying up late on duty, he sat on the wall and pulled a blanket on his body, and he was exhausted by running around for days. After a while, sleepiness gradually rose, and Xuanyi soon fell asleep.

Xuanyi had a dream, let's be a dream, the background is the majestic and majestic city wall of the Dragon City, a starry night, Xuanyi returned from a night full of friends, slightly drunk made his footsteps stagger, apprenticeship for decades and finally gained, Xuanyi walked along the path on the edge of the city wall with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the solid city wall brought him full peace of mind at the moment.

It was already past the hour, the city gate had already been closed, Xuanyi looked at the closed city gate with drunken eyes, scratched his head helplessly, and the long black hair like satin was scattered all over the bun, which added a bit of madness.

"Hahaha!" The wild and hoarse laughter startled the black finches on the tree branches and flew away, seeing that the way home was blocked, Xuanyi simply found a stone at random and sat down, in a trance, the beautiful woman's delicate face when pushing the cup and changing the lamp always flashed in front of him, as well as the flattering words of the so-called "senior brothers", as well as the inexplicable smile in the corner of the eyes of the "teacher" Hong Chengqi, and the familiar fragments kept flashing in his mind.

Xuanyi shook his head, and there was a strange fragrance wafting in the air in this empty night, Xuanyi couldn't help twitching his nose slightly, it was an unknown fragrance, but it gave people a particularly fresh feeling.

"Adult, Adult!" Xuan Yishang was immersed in that strange fragrance, and suddenly his body shook, and he felt someone calling softly in his ear. Xuanyi struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and Wang Zhe's face came into view.

Seeing the familiar face of the captain of the guard in front of him, full of stubble, Xuanyi stood up and moved his somewhat stiff neck from side to side and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Zhe's eyes were blazing, and he said softly: "My lord, there seems to be something unusual about the group of people below!"

"Oh?" Xuanyi suddenly became interested: "Take me to have a look!"

Wang Zhe led Xuanyi out of the broken temple, under the cold moonlight, Xuanyi could roughly see several guards on duty hidden in different directions nodded secretly, Wang Zhe pointed to the improvised camp below and said, "My lord, look at that!"

The group of knights of unknown origin below actually stood in place in a neat military formation, the atmosphere of slaughter was even colder by the moonlight, and a wooden platform had been erected in the middle of the camp at some point.

"This should be the altar, they may be doing some kind of ritual!" Xuan Yi analyzed, pinching his chin.

"Tiger, tiger, tiger!" Suddenly, the knights in the array below let out three roars in unison, and the huge sound soared into the sky, which was particularly terrifying in the silent night.

"Ahem!" Just when Xuanyi felt that the meridians were slightly swollen and the internal force began to be unstable, Wang Zhe beside him had already taken a step and couldn't bear it anymore and began to cough lightly, Wang Zhe looked at the coughed up blood in amazement, and the black blood stains were clearly visible in the moonlight.
