When the swaying carriage arrived at the pass of Shayang Town, it was almost dusk.

Shayang Town and Shuanglian Town are both under the jurisdiction of Zhenzhou, and there are often contacts, so there are only a dozen or so soldiers guarding the pass.

At present, a few soldiers stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and glanced inside, and saw that it was the two little girls who looked like masters and servants, so they didn't think too much, and gently closed the curtain and waved their hands to prepare to let them go.

Unexpectedly, a clear voice came from inside the carriage: "This lord, may I ask what team you are?"

"Team Seven. The soldier who walked in the front had never seen such a beautiful woman as Ruonan, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "Today was supposed to be on duty with three teams, but our commander asked them to go to the school field to gather, so we were transferred to rest, which is really unlucky." ”

"Say that much and do more, and you will talk a lot. A few feet away came a stout soldier, who bowed his head and said ha, while tying his trouser belt, on which a bright stone was quite eye-catching.

"Yo, you're finally done with convenience, and if you don't come again, I thought you'd fall into the pit. The soldier who had complained earlier felt that he had lost face in front of the young lady, and deliberately raised his voice and sneered at the stout soldier a few words, trying to make him make a fool of himself.

The stout soldier ignored his companion's taunts, he walked up to the carriage and looked at Ruonan in the carriage, and said, "What are you asking for?" ”

"Back to my lordship, I have an acquaintance in the army named Yongye, and I came to visit him this time, have you ever known him?"

"Who can not know Lord Eternal Night, Miss, wait a moment, I'll go over and call him. The soldier at the head said that he was going to help Ruonan call the lover she had been thinking about day and night.

The sturdy soldier who only asked a word heard the word eternal night, his eyes burst out, he drew his short sword at his waist with lightning speed, and his figure flashed like a ghost, instantly killing the soldier who was talking, and the warm blood splashed a carriage, Ruonan and Juan'er were frightened and stayed in place, not knowing what to do.

The soldiers patrolling outside the town reacted much faster, and a few people had already drawn their swords and surrounded him in a vain attempt to capture the man, and the short soldier had no intention of escaping, he danced a sword flower, and reflexively rushed into the crowd.

Those ordinary soldiers were not the opponents of the short man, the strength and speed were too far apart, and they were killed in a few rounds, and they fell down, only to see that the short man ended the battle lightly, and killed the coachman with a sword, turned over on his horse, and said leisurely: "Two young ladies, I am really sleepy to send pillows, I am worried about how to deal with that annoying black dog." ”

The man knocked off the horse's leg with all his might, turned the carriage around, and walked towards a small road on the official road behind him.

The night is getting close, and the moon is hanging high.

On the school field, three young people of different figures and an old man looked at the neat square team in front of them, and their faces were extremely pale.

"Nine hundred and ninety-eight, but eight hundred and fifteen. "One of the guards finished counting the numbers, his voice trembled, he had been in Shayang Town for so many years, and it seemed that something big was going to happen tonight.

"One hundred and eighty-three less. The dark and deep eyes of the eternal night slowly swept over the faces of every soldier present, "They are still one step ahead of us, and this hundred or so people are estimated to have mixed into the civilians or other teams." ”

"Report!"

At this time, a herald came galloping outside the school grounds.

"Speak. ”

"Thirteen bodies were found at the south gate, all of them seven groups of soldiers. ”

Ming Zhe didn't speak, and waved his hand to signal the herald to retreat.

"Report!"

It wasn't long before another loud shout rang out.

"Speak. ”

"Human skins have been found all over the city, and the nearby patrol soldiers have identified a few of them, all of whom are members of the third team, which has caused panic among the people. ”

"Collect all those skins and count them. Ming Zhe closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Report!"

"It's endless!"

After all, Ming Zhe was just a young man in his twenties, and when the overwhelming bad news came from all directions, the emotions he had suppressed for a long time finally broke out completely.

"You...... Your letter ...... Apocalypse City is here. The herald knelt on one knee, running back and forth in the ice and snow and sweating profusely, and was shocked by Ming Zhe's shout, cold and afraid, and trembling uncontrollably.

Ming Zhe knew that he was out of shape, stepped forward to take the letter, patted the herald on the shoulder, secretly infused a soothing vitality into his body, and said in a harmonious voice: "I'm sorry, I've worked hard for you." ”

The herald glanced at Ming Zhe gratefully, did not speak, and walked out of the school field quickly.

Ming Zhe stabilized his mind, opened the letter, and when he finished reading the content of the letter, a pair of frowning sword eyebrows showed more and more fierce momentum.

I saw that the letter wrote: "Nephew Mingzhe, the New Year is approaching, and all the affairs of the government need to be handled by you, I have informed General Mo Lin that someone will replace you in the near future." Quick return! Quick return! Quick return! Ye Honglie. ”

Ming Zhe retracted the letter in a dejected manner, he raised his eyes to look at the eternal night beside him, and there were tears flashing in his eyes, "The enemy is now, but he wants to summon me back to Beijing, how can this be good." ”

"Outside, the military order is not subject to it, General Mingzhe, you ......" Qing Jiao consciously closed his mouth halfway through speaking, because he saw that outside the military tent in the school field, Ye Wutian put his hands behind his back, and walked towards this side step by step.

"Young Master, it's time for us to go back. Ye Wutian seemed to have known the contents of the letter for a long time, and there was no joy or anger on his face, but it was an unquestionable tone.

Ming Zhe shook his head and said, "Uncle, you have also seen this form now, how can you let me say and leave." ”

Ye Wutian said: "The master of the family has a life, I have to obey, the young master wants to resist stubbornly, I can only use some means to force you back." ”

Ming Zhe took a deep breath, he tidied up his clothes, bowed to Ye Wutian, and said sincerely: "My Ye family has been loyal and good for generations, and now it is a matter of life and death for the survival of the people, and when life and death are at stake, wouldn't retreating from battle become a laughing stock in the world, if I can't guard this gateway under my feet, I will not have the face to see my ancestors and ancestors again, and I should apologize for my sins after I go back!"

Ye Wutian glanced at Ming Zhe who was kneeling in front of him lightly, he didn't mean to help Ming Zhe up, he turned around and walked back to the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Five days, even if it becomes a hell on earth here after five days, I will take you back." ”

"General Mingzhe, it's not easy for a wealthy family. Qingjiao sighed.

Ming Zhe smiled bitterly, "How many people are there that we can trust." ”

"One hundred and eighty-three people went into the town, and found that one killed one, and one less killed. Eternal Night's indifferent tone made Ming Zhe's mood gradually calm down, "In addition to creating chaos, they must be to cover up their true purpose, what is the most likely thing for the butcher of the Overlord Terrace of the Great Enlightenment Realm to do?"

"The butcher of Bawangtai did not hesitate to cook his wife and children as food for his subordinates in order to win against us, and I think the most likely thing he did was to break through our walls and set off a bloody storm in the homeland behind us. "The old dog has experienced the most cruel era, and he naturally sees the problem to the point.

Ming Zhe nodded and said, "Our city wall is blessed by the Great Array of Protectors, unless it is a Pure Sheng Realm cultivator who has reached the pinnacle, the rest of the people can't break it at all." ”

"There's another way to do it. Eternal Night reminded, "Turn off the Red Dragon Hub, if I remember correctly, there is exactly one in Shayang Town." ”

"The reason is such a reason, the Red Dragon Pivot in Shayang Town can guarantee the Great Array of Protectors for three hundred miles north and south of Shayang, in order to prevent someone from plotting against the Red Dragon Pivot, the Marshal personally set up a formation, in addition to sending troops to guard it, only ordinary people who have not practiced can turn it off, and if someone with extremely high cultivation forcibly breaks in, it will be perceived by the Marshal. Qing Jiao asked rhetorically, "Which ordinary person can kill hundreds of soldiers, dozens of Ming Dao Realms and at least two Cave World Realms?"

"So the enemies who have infiltrated the town are ordinary people who have not cultivated, so their target is the Red Dragon Hub, and it is almost certain that they have other means that have not been revealed. Eternal Night said.

Ming Zhe didn't expect this conspiracy to be very big, his head was running rapidly, and he began to issue military orders one after another: "Today, the nine and tenth teams are responsible for guarding the Red Dragon Pivot, they don't know that the current situation is critical, you go to reinforcements quickly in the eternal night." ”

"The first and second teams are stationed on the city wall and stand by, and those who riot can be killed on the spot, Lord Qingjiao, these two teams are under your command. ”

"Old dog, you take the third and fifth teams into the town to maintain order, find out suspicious people as much as possible, and then detain them first, and then interrogate. ”

"The herald told the fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth teams to gather with me!"

The four military orders were issued, and everyone in the field took their own orders, Ming Zhe took off his civilian clothes that had been soaked with sweat, took off the armor hanging on the wooden frame on the side, and put it on meticulously. He looked around at the quiet town, his eyes flickering with the campfires in the distance, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

The location of the Red Dragon Hub is an open secret in Shayang Town, and no one will take the initiative to mention it, but most people know it.

Even if it was such a significant place, because it was set up by the Generalissimo of the Soldiers and Horses, Lord Ye Qixian himself, the soldiers guarding had no way to raise the spirit of the twelve. In their hearts, the Red Dragon Pivot is equivalent to a miracle left by the gods, not to mention that it needs to be defended, even if it is placed there for you to destroy, the vast majority of people have no way to start.

The leader of the ninth team and the tenth team of the captain are a pair of difficult brothers, the two of them are not confused in the year of no hope of breaking the realm, Xiuwei and the military rank are loosely stopped in place, fortunately, Shayang Town is not a dragon's nest and tiger's den, too peaceful and easy to live a habitual life, a warm blood will slowly cool down, gag during the day, and sleep with the mother-in-law in the hot quilt at night, so good.

But since ancient times, the beautiful things that fall from the sky are unavoidable, but the unfortunate things that fall from the sky are one and the same.

At this time, just after the meal, the two commanders who were full of wine and food hooked their shoulders and were discussing some unspeakable elegant things with relish, and suddenly one of them lost his voice, only to see him rub his mung bean-like eyes, and look at the ground illuminated by the moonlight, and the other looked at him, and found that there was a small paper figure with white flowers standing there at some point, like an offering to the dead.
