After Sima Fa retired from the army, he has been very quiet.

Lu Jing's forces died down and never appeared again.

However, the county did not dare to relax in any way, and still stepped up patrols.

On this day, a group of civilians suddenly appeared outside the city, causing the guards to be vigilant.

"Stop, where are you from?" asked the gatekeeper in a condescending voice.

The surrounding archers drew their bows and arrows, aiming downward.

"Don't let go of the arrows!" a man from the team looked up and shouted, "General, we are residents of Carambola Mountain." ”

Carambola Mountain is a remote area on the border of Xigu County, which is also under the jurisdiction of Xigu County. The gatekeeper asked, "Do you have any certificates?"

"We have identity papers!" replied the person below.

"Put it in the bamboo basket!" the city gate keeper instructed his men to hang the basket with ropes and lower it along the city wall, "the soldiers are in danger, and they must be cautious!"

Outside immediately did the same, handed over everyone's identity documents to the leader, and put them in the bamboo basket together.

The defenders pulled the basket up, took out the paperwork and checked them one by one, and there was really no problem. The city gate guard was a little relieved, and shouted below: "The enemy army is spying on the county town, and it is inconvenient to open the door at the moment. If there is no major incident, turn back the same way and return to the mountains. If you want to buy supplies, you can put the money in a bamboo basket and wait outside the city for a while!"

Xigu County is now under martial law in the whole city, and in order to prevent Sima Fa from sending a fine worker into the city, the people are forbidden to enter and leave at will. Some of the people who came to buy supplies were all put down their baskets by the city gate guards to buy them on their behalf.

The leader outside said loudly: "General, we are not here to purchase supplies. Yesterday, there were monsters in Carambola Mountain, and several people have died, and the people are panicking. I heard that the king of Danyang is in the city, so I came to ask for it! I heard that the king of Danyang is good at subduing demons, benevolent and loving the people, can you remove a harm for my carambola mountain and return the people to a peaceful life?"

The city gate guard frowned and said: "The prince is busy with official business, how can he manage these things? Not to mention that the enemy army is nearby, and he may be killed at any time." Hurry up and leave!"

"General!" the leader greeted, and the group of civilians all knelt down, "Monsters are raging, and the people of my star fruit mountain are panicking all day long." If you sit idly by, you may suffer a catastrophe! I ask the general to give you the prince, and the great kindness will never be forgotten!"

"The general's great grace will never be forgotten!!" everyone kowtowed desperately to the city gate guards.

The city gate guard showed embarrassment, hesitated for a while and said: "I can only pass it on for you, as for whether the prince is willing to come out to see him, I can't be the master." ”

"As long as the general communicates for us, it is enough!"

"Then you wait!" the gate keeper ordered his men to watch over the place, and did not order any situation not to open the city gate, and ran quickly into the city.

He couldn't find Ning Ze directly, so he went to his boss Xu Jun first and reported the situation of the people at the city gate.

Xu Jun asked him to go back to guard the city gate, and rushed to Ning Ze to inform him of the matter.

Ning Ze thought for a moment and said with a smile: "After waiting for so many days, Sima Fa finally made a move! I had long expected this move, I wanted to lure Gu to other places, take the opportunity to capture Xigu County, and surround Gu. ”

"Since it's a plan, just ignore it!" Xu Jun said.

"No," Ning Ze shook his head, "Although it is Sima Fa's strategy, the people of Carambola Mountain are purely innocent, how can they sit idly by? ”

"But the prince left the county town, Sima Fa in case he led the troops to attack ......" Xu Jun looked worried.

"Don't be nervous! With the three lonely ladies here, Xigu County is impregnable. Once the monster is taken, Lone can also return in time, and the Dingjiao Sima Fa will have nothing to lose!"

Seeing that Ning Ze was full of confidence, Xu Jun felt that he was as capable as him, just like a living immortal, not to mention that Sima Fa didn't know the reinforcements that the members were ambushing, there should be no problem, and he was a little relieved.

Ning Ze explained a few words to Chu Meiren, Mi Yan, and Hua Erniang, and asked them to be optimistic about the city, and then came to the city gate.

Seeing Ning Ze, the people outside the door hurriedly pleaded their feelings and begged Ning Ze to go to Carambola Mountain to subdue the demon.

The city gate guard reported that the identities of these people had been verified, but the possibility of being bought by Lu Jing's forces could not be ruled out, after all, some places on the border belonged to the "dark zone", and the more remote star fruit mountain was one of them. Because of the terrain, it is very inconvenient to manage, and it is very easy to be infiltrated by the enemy. For the sake of safety, I hope the prince will be cautious.

Ning Ze glanced at it and clearly saw the attributes of these star fruit mountain residents through the system functions. No one has been bought by enemy forces, and even if there is, they can't hide themselves.

This matter must be inseparable from Sima Fa, the residents of Carambola Mountain are involved, and it doesn't matter whether anyone is bought by the other party. What Ning Ze has to do is to find out whether the "monster" exists, if so, what kind of breed it is, what use it will be for him after subduing it, and what is Sima Fa's idea.

did not let the city gate guard open the city gate, but summoned the strange-winged moa to ride directly and flew straight to the front of the group of people: "Since there are monsters in the world, a second delay may kill more people." Lead the way!"

Seeing Ning Ze's strength with their own eyes, this group of people became excited, thanked them respectfully, and hurriedly took the lead to lead the way, leaving Xigu County and moving quickly in the other direction.

The team has a total of eight people, led by the son of the village chief of Carambola Mountain, named Kang Yi. The other seven are all his partners, and they are considered the younger generation in the village.

In the past, it was difficult to even encounter a fierce beast in Carambola Mountain, and the sudden appearance of a monster killed several people, and everyone was frightened. Listening to passers-by, the king of Danyang of Huaguo has the power to the sky and is good at subduing demons, and now he is in Xigu County. In order to solve the matter and restore the tranquility of Carambola Mountain, Kang Yi volunteered to go to Xigu County to make a statement. Worried that something would happen to him on the road, a group of friends decided to accompany the guards.

I was worried that such a high-ranking character might ignore them directly, and I had already made all kinds of psychological preparations, and I had to grind until Ning Ze agreed. But I didn't expect this prince to be very talkative, so he came back directly.

What I didn't expect was that King Danyang, who was supposed to be very old in my imagination, was so young, and even the same age as everyone.

Kang Yi and his little friends were very excited, and they quickly became familiar with Ning Ze along the way. The other party doesn't put on a show, just like ordinary people, making them feel that the rumored King of Danyang is benevolent and loves the people is not fake.

Ning Ze inquired all the way about the information of the monster, and Kang Yi and the others would not come up with a reason.

In fact, except for the few who were killed, no one else in the entire Carambola Mountain had ever seen a monster. Several deceased people were killed in different places, but they all wrote the word "monster" before they died. So everyone said that there were monsters in Carambola Mountain, and they were afraid.

Hearing them say this, Ning Ze felt that the existence of the so-called "monsters" was suspicious. Could it be simply Sima Fa's strategy?

After thinking about it, there were "monsters" on Nan Cheng and Zhou Guo's side, and one of them was sent from Liang Guo's side. It shows that Sima Fa's side will not be left with nothing. These three forces are trying to find "monsters" to deal with themselves, and they must have their own basis.

All the way to Carambola Mountain, the village chief came out with other residents to greet him.

Everyone was in awe of Ning Ze, after all, to them, the King of Danyang in front of them was an extremely noble person.

Ning Ze determined the residents of Carambola Mountain through the function of the system, and there was not a single enemy in it. It seems that Sima Fa knew that the fine work could not escape his eyes, so he did not arrange it inside. If so, how is he going to do it, and how is he going to deal with himself?

Or did he not have the idea of dealing with himself at all, and just led himself here, preparing to take the opportunity to attack Xigu County? Or was he more confident in the so-called "monster" and felt that he couldn't even take that "monster?"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Ning Ze first checked the surroundings of Carambola Mountain through the virtual map, but did not find any red dots. It shows that Sima Fa did not ambush soldiers and horses nearby, and the so-called "monsters" were not within the area. Immediately asked the village chief: "Do you know where the monster is hiding?"

"Lord Wang, except for the three people who were killed, no one has ever seen a monster on Carambola Mountain. The village chief replied, "I don't know where the monsters are hiding." However, it can sneak into the village and kill three people without knowing it, so it must be nearby. ”

"Are you sure it was the monster?" Ning Ze asked again.

"It won't be a coincidence that the three of them wrote the word monster before they died!"

"Is the body of the victim still left?"

"Lord Yu, the body is kept in each family, and it will be buried in two days. ”

"Take Gu to see where they were killed. The traces left by the deceased are not destroyed, right?"

"It's all still there!"

"That's good!"

"Lord Wang, please come here. The village chief personally led the way, and the villagers surrounded Ning Ze into Carambola Mountain.

On the other side, after learning that Ning Ze had left Xigu County and was taken away by the residents of Carambola Mountain, Lu Yuan found Sima Fa: "Military Division, Ning Ze has been successfully transferred." Are you doing what you planned?"

"Don't be in a hurry, wait and see for a day," Sima Fa said, "Ning Ze is very cunning, and it is possible to deliberately lure us. Send someone to the area around Brook Valley to carefully reconnoiter and get information as soon as possible to make sure that there are no other reinforcements lurking around. Ning Ze went to Carambola Mountain, no matter how capable he was, he couldn't solve the whole thing so quickly, there was plenty of time!"

"Strategist, do you think that monster can get rid of Ning Ze?" Lu Yuan asked in a low voice.

"I can't say!" Sima Fa replied solemnly, "Ning Ze may die at its hands, that's the best." As soon as Ning Ze died, he would be able to reverse the situation. Combined with Tang Niu and Ma Jian, the Jedi counterattack can destroy the Chinese country. Ning Ze will not die, and even surrender the monster, but it will bring a catastrophe to Huaguo! No matter what, as long as he encounters this monster, whether he wins or loses, it will be a sure profit for us!"

"It's just, I'm a little worried. Lu Yuan said, "That thing is too dangerous! Is it really good to let it out like this? Perhaps, it would be a huge mistake to bring it out!"

"We paid such a big price, isn't it just to get rid of Ning Ze? Ning Ze will not die, and the situation will never change. Sima Fa's face was expressionless, "Don't think too much, I have asked Your Majesty to gather all the best doctors in the country to ensure that Liang Guo will not be affected!"
