Chapter 172: The Five Elders' Seals
The atmosphere in the big tent was solemn, and everyone was looking at the red-robed young man above.
The camp was built halfway up the mountain, and the mountain wind creaked the big tent, and the sound of pine waves rolling in the distance could be heard.
The cold wind swept the curtains, and the wick on the candlestick jumped, and the dim light reflected a few black handwriting.
"There is a change in the cabinet, go back quickly"
A few large characters are square and solemn, and five red seals are stamped under the big characters.
Ye Cheng looked at this secret letter that he did not hesitate to use the Demon Bird Hide, and his brows furrowed.
The letter says everything and nothing.
There is a change in the cabinet, that is, there is really something big happening, but there is no clear instruction in the letter, only let it go back quickly.
"I can't even say anything about the secret letter, and it was actually added by the five elders who personally sealed"
"Let's take a look."
Ye Cheng sat down at the table and handed the secret letter to the soldiers on the side.
Lou Xiao took the secret letter, saw the five ink characters on the envelope, frowned suddenly, and handed the secret letter to Guo Yuan on the side, this is another transformation elder of the Flame Alliance in Luoyou Mountain.
After reading it, the gray-robed old man also showed doubts on his face, passed the letter around, and finally returned to Ye Cheng's table.
Ye Cheng knocked on the letter on the table and said softly
"Let's talk about it, what does this mean in the cabinet?"
"Could it be that the pavilion master has found the black abyss lair and is ready to sweep the court and plow the hole......," Guo Yuan said in a deep voice.
There had been news in the cabinet before that Ziyangxi had discovered the headquarters of Hei Yuan's attack and was ready to complete the battle.
"Impossible, the letter has added the five elders' personal seals, if it is a decisive battle, it must be the personal order of the pavilion master, and if it is a decisive battle, there is no need to be vague at all" Lou Xiao said
The five elders are the five oldest people in the Bingyang Qingyu Pavilion, each of them is a martial artist who has retired from the deputy pavilion master's position, the pavilion master and the deputy pavilion master are not there, these five people are the last people who can lead the Qingyu Pavilion.
Although they are the five elders, the strength of these people is not outstanding, and almost all of the five people retired from the position of deputy cabinet master because of injuries, and because of their respective contributions to the cabinet, they were able to continue to stay in the cabinet.
"The five elders jointly sent a letter, there must have been a big change in the pavilion, and the pavilion master is not in the pavilion......" Lou Xiao's face suddenly changed
"Could it be that Hei Yuan besieged the Qingyu Pavilion first?"
When Ye Cheng heard this, his face also changed.
Hei Yuan had besieged the Qingyu Pavilion before, and this time the pavilion master found the lair, and it was very likely that the other party's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry.
Thinking of the injured blood pigeon again, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn.
"Elder Meng, is there any news in the alliance?"
Ye Cheng looked at Guo Yuan, Meng Yuan had been sitting in the pavilion, if there was a change in the pavilion, it would be impossible for there to be no news coming.
"No, the day before yesterday, I passed the news with the alliance, and everything is as usual," the gray-robed old man replied
"The siege of the Black Abyss must be very large, it is impossible that there will be no waves at all, what is going on in the pavilion?"
Lou Xiao's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and everyone in the big tent fell into deep thought
"It shouldn't be possible for the Black Abyss to attack the city, if it's such a big thing, even if the pavilion master is not there, the five elders will definitely order me to wait for the quick return to help, it's impossible not to mention a word"
Ye Cheng looked at the five bright red prints on the letterhead, his eyes flashing slightly.
Ye Cheng's fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the elders of the Flame Alliance were also contemplating, and only the sound of fingers clasping lightly remained in the tent.
The five patriarchs jointly signed the seal, and did not hesitate to use blood pigeons, which must have been a big deal, but it turned out that the letter only conveyed an unclear word.
What does it mean that there is a change in the pavilion? Go back quickly? Do you want the master of the Flame Alliance to go back.
"And why did you name me to open it in person, just these few words, why can't even the people in the Flame Alliance read it?"
Ye Cheng picked up the envelope on the side again, flipped through it and looked at it again, but still couldn't find anything abnormal.
Using the demon bird to transmit the message must be a big deal, he must figure out what is going on, at least there must be a direction, but there is too little information at the moment, he can't make an inference at all.
Ye Cheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke
"Let's find out, what's going on with Song Guan" A cold light flashed in Ye Cheng's eyes
Soon, a thin man in a black power suit hurriedly walked into the camp, this is the martial artist selected by the Flame Alliance to specialize in intelligence
"The last general will see the alliance leader, see the adults"
"No need to salute, since last night, has there been any change on the side of the Blood Alliance" Lou Xiao waved his hand and asked directly
"The news just came back this morning, the camp of the Blood Alliance has been under martial law since yesterday evening, and according to the spies Hui Bing, the entire Blood Alliance camp is forbidden to enter and leave."
"What about the Eighteen Cities Alliance, what's the situation over there" Ye Cheng's eyes froze, staring at the generals below.
The emaciated man was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that it was Ye Cheng who asked, he didn't dare to slack off, and carefully recalled the information that came back before he spoke.
"Lord Bingmeng, as of the news that came back this morning, everything is normal in the camp of the Eighteen Cities Alliance, and there is nothing out of the ordinary," the emaciated man replied thoughtfully.
"You put everything else aside, keep an eye on the Blood Alliance and the Eighteen Cities Alliance, especially the Blood Alliance, if there is any change, report it immediately" Lou Xiao waved his hand, and the emaciated man led the order to retreat.
Ye Cheng's eyes flashed with thought, and he slowly spoke
"We and Song Guan have both received the news, but there is no abnormality on Han Jiulong's side, which means that this is not a major event affecting the eighteen cities, and the matter has not reached the point where everyone thinks, otherwise it would be impossible for us to receive a secret letter and Han Jiulong did not"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were a little relieved, and they all nodded slightly
"It's not a matter of the Eighteen Cities, it must be that the Qingyu Pavilion has undergone a big change, I guess the letter received by Song Guan should be the same as ours, and it must also be named to Song Guan" Ye Cheng said slowly
"No, even if something happens in the pavilion, then the whole pavilion should be informed, it is impossible for Elder Meng not to have the slightest rumor" Lou Xiao said softly
"There is only one possibility, even Elder Meng in the pavilion has been hidden, or in other words, in the entire Qingyu Pavilion, I'm afraid that only the five elders know what happened" Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed.
"Therefore, this letter is for you and Song Guan alone" Lou Xiao was stunned for a moment, but then his face tightened again
"Send the order down, immediately pull out the camp, and all the elders above the condensation form of the Flame Alliance will rush back to the Qingyu Pavilion."
"Also, send a message back and ask Meng Yuan to summon all the masters in the Flame Alliance back and stand by in the pavilion."
Ye Cheng's voice sank, and he said suddenly.
"Yes"
Lou Xiao and Guo Yuan glanced at each other, and they were all respectful.
More than a dozen masters hurriedly walked out of the camp tent, and the entire camp was like a sophisticated instrument, suddenly running.
After washing the war horses and dozens of people's dry food, the spies hurried out of the camp, and seven or eight white doves fluttered into the sky, and soon, only seven or eight black dots could be seen in the gray cloudy sky.
The news on the pigeons is the same, seven or eight pigeons, and one of them always arrives in the pavilion without any problems.
Han Lingxue had been guarding outside the tent, and when she saw the solemn expressions of the people, her heart suddenly sank.
"Miss, the people of the Flame Alliance are about to pull out the camp" Han Feng came from a distance, looking anxious
When Han Lingxue heard the old man's words, her face suddenly turned pale
............
On a slope dozens of miles away, the banner of the Blood Alliance was waving in the wind, but the atmosphere in the camp was extremely serious.
“...... It's the same with the Flame Alliance?"
In the big tent, more than 30 masters sat down in turn, but the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Song Guan sat on the main seat, his face pale, a circle of bandages across his left shoulder, and half of his body was tightly wrapped
"Yes, the Flame Alliance was also under martial law yesterday afternoon, I'm afraid I also received the news" Lu Wanjian was wearing a golden robe, but from the gap in the placket, he could see the gauze inside.
At this time, his face was gloomy, and he looked at Song Guan above with some suspicion, not knowing what he was thinking
"What do you think?"
Song Guan pointed to the sandalwood table in front of him, on which lay a yellow letter paper, and several black characters were condensed on the paper
Song looked at this sudden secret letter, and his face was gloomy.
He also didn't figure out the situation, the cabinet used demon birds to send a message, and there was a personal seal of the five elders, obviously something big happened, but this letter only had these unclear words.
"And, why is it this time?"
Song Guan's eyes were gloomy, and the letter completely disrupted his steps.
"No, Ye Cheng must not be allowed to walk out of Luoyou Mountain alive" A fierce light flashed in his eyes
Lu Wanjian's eyes flashed, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice outside
"Report, according to the spies Hui Bing, the Flame Alliance has moved, and it seems that it is preparing to pull out the camp" A black-armored sergeant knelt on one knee on the ground and reported in a deep voice.
A strong smell of blood wafted through the camp, and the sergeant who gave the order looked at the two bloody corpses in the aisle not far away, and couldn't help but swallow in his throat.
"Don't guess, the Flame Alliance has pulled out the camp, let's go back too, pass the order to the others, all the masters of the Blood Alliance will return to the pavilion and stand by, this time the matter is not trivial"
Song Guan glanced at the people below, his eyes flashed, and he was about to walk towards the back of the tent
"After paying so much, even if the Qingyu Pavilion collapses, Ye Cheng must not be allowed to get out alive" Song Guan's eyes were full of cold light, and his palms were clenched tightly
"What about the matter of the Cold Marrow Mine, what about the matter of Elder Chen Ying, isn't the alliance leader going to give an explanation" A cold voice sounded, and everyone who was about to get up suddenly stopped and sat down again.
The Lu family not only lost a cold marrow mine this time, but even Lu Wanjian himself almost got into it.
"What does Elder Lu want to explain" Song Guan paused, looking at Lu Wanjian with a calm expression
"I encountered a group of blood corpses on the way, even I was seriously injured and returned, what else does Elder Lu have to explain, are the blood corpses on the ground all fake" Song Guan looked at the two corpses on the ground covered in flesh and blood.
Everyone's eyes flickered, three hours ago, Song Guan returned seriously injured, covered in blood, it is said that he encountered dozens of bloody corpses halfway through the support, and Song Guan desperately escaped from the encirclement.
The Blood Alliance immediately sent people to the pine forest, and hundreds of soldiers were all killed, but the other six masters were nowhere to be found, in addition to the Blood Alliance soldiers, more than a dozen bloody corpses were also found at the scene.
Lu Wanjian's face was ugly, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but there were indeed bloody corpses at the scene, these bloody corpses were all ghosts above the Condensation Realm, if they encountered dozens, it would indeed be enough to completely destroy this team.
"Hundreds of people, only the alliance leader has escaped from the predicament, and Elder Chen is also a master of the Transformation Realm, could it be that even he is a bad person?" Lu Wanjian stared at Song Guan tightly
"What does Elder Lu mean by this, do you want to personally examine Song's injuries, so that you can rest assured" Song Guan's eyes suddenly became gloomy
"Or, Elder Lu thinks Song has lived too long."
Song Guan's voice suddenly became cold, his dark green eyes stared at the old man in the brocade robe like a poisonous snake, and an invisible momentum suddenly rose from him.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly fell into freezing, and some people's eyes flashed, but their eyes looked at Lu Wanjian a little strangely.
"Subordinate, don't dare"
Lu Wanjian's complexion changed, he felt the pressure around him, and finally he could only grit his teeth and give in
"Hmph, there are big changes in the cabinet now, and Song doesn't want to cause more trouble, but everyone, please do it yourself"
Song Guan snorted coldly, but the momentum on his body suddenly dissipated, and everyone's hearts were suddenly relieved
Pick it up high and put it down gently, isn't it really Song Guan's doing?
Lu Wanjian looked at Song Guanyuan's back, and his face was cloudy.
