The Shen Mansion is remote and the number of people is scarce, and in the past six months, even though the leader of the refining workshop has come to the door from time to time, it has never been like today.

"Sister, let's go over and have a look. Su Ye put away his sword and said in a deep voice.

He pulled Su Xueyi, crossed the courtyard wall, and carefully came to the outside of the Shen Mansion Council Hall to listen closely.

"Lord Shen, there was news from the City Lord's Mansion just now that City Lord Mu was seriously ill and the imperial capital envoy was missing. ”

"How can this be?" Shen Lian stood up with a pale face.

"General Zhou took over the power of the city lord and controlled the city defense battalion, and in recent days, the troops have been frequently transferred, the city gate is closed, and the whole city has been under martial law. ”

"Damn, Zhou Feng is trying to take the opportunity to seize power, the rear of cholera!" Shen Lian clenched his fists and looked anxious.

In the past six months, the war between the Tengyun Legion and the Meng and Ye Bai tribes has become more and more intense, and the two sides have fought dozens of times, and they have fought from the Luxue Mountain Range to the Sixiang Mountain, one step away from the defense of the Exquisite City.

The originally weak Meng and Ye tribes, I don't know what kind of power they have helped, they are incredibly strong.

In the case of continuous reinforcements to join the battle, the Tengyun Legion was actually forced to retreat by the Meng and Ye Hundred Clans, and stuck to the Sixiang Mountain.

In the past six months, Emperor Chu sent envoys to Jingjue City four times to supervise the war, but to no avail.

Under the persecution of Emperor Chu's will, the Tengyun army fought hard again and again, and the consumption of armor, grain and grass was better than one day, but it still could not quell the rebellion of the Meng and Ye tribes.

Now, in the rear of the Tengyun Legion's armor, food and grass, the Elite City has suddenly changed, and the Tengyun Legion in the bitter battle will be in danger.

Shen Lian and these commanders were all from the Tengyun Legion, and they would never sit idly by under the sudden changes.

"Lord Shen, what should we do now?" the Commanders asked in unison.

"I will first secretly send someone to inform the general of the situation in the city, and ask him to send troops back to help, you try to stay still in the past two days to stabilize the situation in the city, I will go to the city lord's mansion to test it and see if the city lord Mu is seriously ill and difficult to return...... In any case, Zhou Feng must be stabilized, and he must not be allowed to rashly set off a war in the city. ”

Although he is a refining envoy of the Exquisite City, his status is second only to that of the city lord, but he has no military power in his hands.

Moreover, for so many years, Shen Lian has always stood in the opposite camp with Zhou Feng, once Zhou Feng acts, the first goal must be to eradicate the Shen Mansion and control the refining workshop.

"There are still three days, which is the time for the decisive battle between the Tengyun Legion and the Meng and Ye Hundred Clans, but at this time, the city lord is seriously ill and the envoy disappears, isn't this premeditated?" someone said coldly, "Their target is aimed at the Tengyun Legion early in the morning!"

"But the Tengyun Legion is one of the three major legions of the empire, and the general is even more important minister of the country, who has such the courage to brazenly deal with the Tengyun Legion. ”

"I heard that the mighty king and His Majesty are not on good terms, and my heart has long been ......"

"Alright...... Don't speculate!" Shen Lian interrupted everyone's words and said in a deep voice, "You go back first, I have my own plans for these things." ”

Although the situation in the city was imminent, City Lord Mu was not dead, and Zhou Feng still did not dare to act without permission.

As long as Shen Lian can bring back reinforcements in advance, the stormy situation will naturally stabilize again, and even if City Lord Mu dies of illness, Zhu Feng and the forces behind him will not dare to act rashly.

"I hope Lord Shen will make a decision as soon as possible!" everyone got up and said goodbye.

Shen Lian sent everyone out of the mansion, immediately closed the door of the mansion, and accompanied by Yan Lao, went straight to Su Ye's residence.

Su Ye and her sister returned to the courtyard silently when the commanders got up to say goodbye.

At this moment, seeing Shen Lian's solemn face and walking from a distance, although Su Ye had already guessed what he was doing, he still pretended to be blank and asked, "Lord Shen, is there anything that needs Xiao Ye's help?"

Shen Lian nodded, pulled him to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and explained today's events carefully.

"Lord Shen wants me to be this messenger?" said Su Ye in a deep voice after hearing this.

"As soon as something happens to the city lord Mu, Zhou Feng controls the city defense warrior camp, and the spearhead will definitely be aimed at me Shen Lian first, I estimate that this will, the refining workshop and Tianyuan Pavilion are already under Zhou Feng's surveillance, if I want to send someone to deliver the letter, as long as it is someone from the refining workshop and Tianyuan Pavilion, it is estimated that they will be discovered before they have time to leave the city. ”

"It doesn't matter if the person is discovered or intercepted, but if the letter is intercepted, I am afraid that it will force the other party to jump over the wall in a hurry, act in advance, and eradicate the Shen Mansion and Tianyuan Pavilion in an instant. ”

And ...... Xiao Ye, you ......" Shen Lian looked at Su Ye seriously and continued, "You haven't been out of the gate of the Shen Mansion for half a year, no one has seen you, and few people have seen you when you first came to the Elite City. Relatively speaking, if you go to deliver the letter, they will not think that you are my Shen Lian's person, and with your strength, it is easier to send the letter into the camp of the Tengyun Legion without knowing it. ”

Su Ye didn't expect that in just half a year, so many things would happen in the Elite City.

In the past six months, he and his sister have received a lot of favors from Shen Lian, and at this moment, they should return the favor to the other party.

"Okay, I'll go!" Su Ye said in a deep voice while holding the pitch-black black sword.

"Thank you Xiaoye!" Shen Lian saw that he agreed without hesitation, and his heart was moved, and he said, "I will write a letter immediately, and I will arrange for you to go out of the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"Lord Shen, since the other party has already laid out the situation, he will definitely prevent you from contacting the Tengyun Legion, even if Xiao Ye can leave the Essence City unnoticed, it is estimated that there will be heavy interceptions and killings halfway. Su Xueyi looked at Su Ye worriedly, "Xiao Ye may not be able to send the letter to the Tengyun Legion camp so easily......"

This is a road of nine deaths and one life, and Su Xueyi doesn't want Su Ye to take risks.

"Sister, if I don't go, when the other party makes trouble, none of us can escape!" Su Ye held her hand comfortingly and said softly, "Don't worry, sister, I won't die so easily." ”

"But, Xiao Ye ......" Su Xueyi still wanted to persuade again.

Su Ye interrupted her words and looked at Shen Lian and Yan Lao in silence.

Shen Lian looked at his worried look, knew what he wanted to say in his heart, and said solemnly: "Xiao Ye, don't worry, as long as I, Shen Lian, am still alive, I will never let people hurt a single hair of Miss Su." ”

Su Ye heard his assurance, nodded slightly, and his worries were gone.

In the following time, Shen Lian wrote a letter to Su Ye, carefully told him the location of the Tengyun Legion camp, Su Ye said goodbye to his sister, and before dawn on the second day, he took the black sword and the letter, and quietly went out of the city under Shen Lian's careful arrangement.

The battlefield where the Tengyun Legion was stationed was in the northeast of the Elite City, close to the hinterland of the Sixiang Mountain, only sixty miles away from the Elite City.

After Su Ye left the city, he moved forward as fast as he could, and avoided the field of vision of the guards guarding the city, and quickly dived into the valley.

Seeing that he had completely avoided the patrol force of the city defense battalion, he couldn't help but turn back from the valley and run all the way to the northeast of Sixiang Mountain.

Su Ye walked along the main road until he was halfway through, and when he saw that he was about to walk out of the valley, he still did not encounter any obstacles, and he couldn't help but be stunned and a little surprised.

"It shouldn't be. He secretly said in his heart, "Assassinate the city lord, clean up the envoys, control the city defense army, and try in vain to cut off the back road of the Tengyun Legion and let the entire legion die outside the pass." According to my sister's speculation, there must be an ambush on this road, why did I come all the way and didn't encounter any obstacles?"

"Is it ......," he thought, staring at the narrow valley exit ahead, "is it all hiding here waiting for me?"

The exit of the valley here is the last ambush site in the hinterland of Sixiang Mountain, out of here, the outside is a flat and wide official road, and there is no place to hide the sneak attack; and this exit is narrow inside and wide outside, there are dead corners on both sides, and the people who go out of the valley can not reach the mountain wall position on both sides of the valley mouth at all, it is the most suitable ambush position for this way.

Su Ye knew in his heart that if there was an ambush on the road ahead, he would inevitably be in this position.

He was vigilant, and the closer he got to the exit, the slower his steps became, his long sword unsheathed, its blade tilted to the ground, ready for all the fights.

The mountain wind is strong and the cold is cold.

Su Ye bit her lip, her eyes sparkling, and gradually approached the corner of the exit.

The fierce killing intent faintly came from the mountain wall behind the corner of the exit, Su Ye's heart sank, and he instantly stopped five steps away from the corner, threw the sword scabbard in his hand in the air, and shouted: "Since you have been waiting for me here for a long time, you don't have to hide your head and shrink your tail, come out." ”

"The boy has a bit of guts. A deep voice came from the mountain wall behind the corner.

Then, five men with long knives appeared from behind the corner of the exit, blocking Su Ye's path.

"Whether you notice us or not, coming here is a dead end. The five said with hideous faces.

Su Ye looked at the five people silently, his right foot moved back three inches, the tip of the sword was condensed, the killing intent was condensed, and the whole person was ready to attack.

There are five opponents, three warriors of the seventh order, and two warriors of the eighth order, and their strength can be called strong.

Su Ye has one enemy and five enemies, and the only way to crack it is to quickly kill the three people with the lowest strength at lightning speed, and then face off against the remaining two to avoid falling into a group attack situation, so that he can have a slight chance of winning.

"Whether it's a dead end or not is not up to you. Su Ye shouted coldly, "It's ......"

The internal force condensed in his body suddenly exploded, and his right foot kicked the ground, and the whole person jumped up like a leopard, and instantly crossed a distance of five steps to the other party.

Without waiting for the other party to react, the blade of the sword in his palm flashed in the air, and the sword light slashed straight along the throat of the stunned person who was stunned first.

Su Ye retreated with a blow, pulled away five steps again, exhaled a breath that had accumulated in his chest, and continued: "...... It's up to the sword in my hand to decide. ”

The man's eyes widened and he looked terrified, and his hands clutched his throat hard, but he still couldn't stop the surging blood from flowing out, and gradually fell to the ground.

The remaining four people looked at Su Ye, who was five steps away with awe-inspiring killing intent, and their hearts shook and they were surprised.
