The military headquarters in the border city is no longer as lively as usual. The veterans of the Guards all folded their wings in the first battle of Dongdushan, and the recruits practiced silently in a depressing environment to meet the elite team selection next week. Only the sun was still actively sprinkled on the playground, desperately trying to dry the mud.

In the Military Command Office, the only subordinate He Tianyong can trust now is He Cong, which makes him stretched.

He Tianyong said: "He Cong, how is the mercenary recruitment. ”

"Back to the city lord, they have all been recruited, and this time there are a total of eight mercenaries, including three warriors, two thieves, and one hunter and one priest. Each is a first-class player, and he stands alone. ”

He Tianyong scolded angrily: "Why don't you have a mage?"

He Cong said helplessly: "This ...... In two days, it will be the 100-day banquet of Ling Cang, the city lord of Yancheng. Their Ling family had already recruited the well-known masters in Yan City to their command, not to mention the few mages. ”

"Is it necessary for a 100-day banquet to be so grand?

"City Lord, don't you know, this Ling Cang loved to be competitive and show off when he was young. Now that the age of more than half a hundred has not only not converged, but has intensified. In the past few years alone, there have been no less than five big birthdays, what forty birthdays, forty-six birthdays, and various other names, too many to mention, not to mention that this time he is an old man, how can you say that it is possible not to fight and lay. I know you don't like to deal with that person, so I'll help you excuse yourself, I don't know what the city lord plans to do this year?"

He Tianyong leaned back on the wooden chair again, supported his chin with one hand, closed his eyes and thought, until his fingers stopped beating on the armrest, he stood up and said with a smile: "Go, why don't you go, how can you not go to such an important banquet?"

And behind the bitter smile, only he knows the current situation and helplessness, waiting for the Demon Imperial Army Headquarters to send a capable soldier, the cycle is too long, and it is impossible to solve the current urgent need, now he has to go to the Demon Imperial Garrison in Yancheng to borrow some troops, at least to survive this period of window first.

He Cong didn't know these hardships, and he didn't dare to ask why, there were even greater worries in his heart.

He Tianyong saw He Cong's anxious expression, and he guessed why, and said, "Are you worried about Cao Li?" ”

He Cong nodded, and took the opportunity to ask: "The subordinates don't understand, if the city lord goes to Yancheng, Cao Li is not the most authoritative among the border cities." And this variable, which we have not yet confirmed, is definitely the biggest hidden danger in the border city. ”

He Tianyong sat down again and said, "Who said that he would stay in the border city, I decided to let him go with me." ”

As soon as He Tianyong finished speaking, He Cong retorted anxiously: "This is not good, if Cao Li really has a problem." Isn't the lord of the city putting himself in danger?"

He Tianyong said with a smile: "Put it by my side, I can still control it, and my Digang Cover Skill is not something that he can break if he says it." If he were to remain in the city, I would not be at ease. ”

He Cong was still not at ease: "Why don't you just lock up Cao Li, you see ......"

Before He Cong finished speaking, he was interrupted by He Tianyong's sharp eyes, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, yes...... I'm sorry, my subordinate said the wrong thing. ”

He Tianyong understood that He Cong was also concerned about his own safety, and he was not too harsh, sighed, and said meaningfully: "He Cong! We can use all our minds and tricks to firmly control the border city in our hands." But if Cao Li is arrested now without any basis and no evidence, what will the other soldiers think, if you lose the military heart of the border city soldiers, then who will be born and die for you without hesitation, in the end, the border city you get is just an empty city, you know?"

He Cong knew that he was speechless, and he blamed himself again and again.

He Tianyong shook his hand, said no more, and motioned for He Cong to retreat. After He Cong retreated, he was the only one left in the command office, and when Xing Hao was in the past, all military affairs were handed over to Xing Hao. And he always felt that the Military Command Office was too small, and liked to stay in the huge He Mansion, and now when he returned to the Military Command Office alone, he found that it was not a small place, at least the empty command office could still seat several people......

Mamba didn't tell the Zhuyachuan Border City the importance of the Demon Clan's development of Dongxuan, so he didn't understand why he wanted to let Cao Li gain trust and status in the border city at all costs. When he hurried to the appointed meeting place, the back of Xiao Suo, who was still standing alone in the wasteland, was already standing alone in the wasteland. Seeing that he turned around, his hands were straight, his face did not have too much blood, but he looked pale and weak, I don't know if it was because of the excessive blood loss in the previous battle, or because he had stayed in the dark for too long.

Cao Li frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you only here now, you know that I can't disappear in the border city for too long now." ”

Zhu Yachuan didn't dare to breathe, and said, "There is something to delay." ”

"Why don't Mamba come by yourself?" Cao Li asked, seeing that Zhu Yachuan couldn't answer, he said impatiently: "If there is anything, just say it quickly!"

"Mamba let me tell you what's next. Zhu Yachuan paused, and then said, "In the dungeon of Yancheng Ling Mansion, there is a blood wolf demon beast locked up, and Mamba hopes that you can rescue him?"

"Yancheng Ling's family, such a coincidence......" A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Li's mouth: "Just two days later, the border city lord took me to Yancheng Ling's house for a banquet. ”

"Isn't that better, this is more of an opportunity, isn't the city lord over there still wary of you, why do you still take you there." ”

"You don't know, he is a very cautious person, everything must be in the palm of his hand, he can rest assured, but this is also his weakness. Cao Liyin's smile flashed, and he said coldly: "Because there are some powers that he can't control in the palm of his hand." ”

The thin body of the human race in front of him made Zhu Yachuan feel extremely dangerous, and he also began to understand Mamba's previous intentions, which was definitely a double-edged sword that was both sharp and ruthless.

Cao Liwen suddenly asked, "What is the combat power of the blood wolf?"

Zhu Yachuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Cao Li asked so much, and did not hide it, and said: "The combat power of the blood wolf is definitely not below Mamba and me, but what is even more terrifying is his fanaticism for fighting. ”

Cao Li was a little interested and asked, "What do you say?"

"Do you know why he is called a blood wolf, I have heard that when he was not a demon, he fought alone against the jackals, it was a tragedy, when he killed all the jackals, he was also completely skinless, and his hair was stained blood-red. There was also a fierce battle with the Terran berserker, and it was definitely the toughest berserker I have ever seen, and he didn't even have a single round in front of the blood wolf. Do you know how he did it?"

"Oh, kind of interesting. When Cao Li heard Xingzhi, he was full of curiosity, and he didn't care about spending a little more time.

"The berserker killed the blood wolf, he didn't hide, but completely exposed the shoulder blade, how could the berserker miss such a good opportunity, the sword did not hesitate, straight into the shoulder blade, the berserker hit the blow, but when he wanted to pull out the sword, the blood wolf grabbed the blade with his bare hands, just in the moment when the Terran warrior was surprised and hesitated, the other claw of the blood wolf ignited the killing intent, directly through the berserker's armor, inserted into the heart, this is not over, what is even more frightening is that after the human heart was quickly pulled out by the blood wolf, there is still the last trace of life, and he saw his heart swallowed alive by the blood wolf, he was scared to death, rightThe berserker who killed countless demon clans was scared to death. ”

"Not to mention that he couldn't believe what was in front of him, even we never thought that the battle could be like this. ”

After Cao Li listened to Zhu Yachuan telling the story about the blood wolf, he couldn't help laughing wildly and praised: "Hahaha...... Only a strong man who truly enjoys the battle has such a bold decision, and I saved this blood wolf......"

"Since everything is going to happen in Yancheng, it is better to decide success or failure at this moment, it is not good to have many dreams at night. Cao Wei made a plan and said: "Zhuyachuan, you tell Mamba to let him lead the demon clan into the border city in two days, when he is about to reach the son." ”

"Why?"

"Don't ask why, just tell the Mamba to do what I say, and I'll take care of the rest, and remember to bring a lizard with me, I'll be of good use." ”

With such a big matter, Zhu Yachuan didn't dare to agree easily, and asked again suspiciously: "Are you sure?"

Cao Lisen's cold gaze looked into the distance, nodded, and said to himself: "Becoming a king or defeating a villain, just do it here." ”

Zhu Yachuan received the order and left with his men, he was anxious, such a major decision had to be told to Mamba as soon as possible.

Jiang Wangchen could hear that it was Cao Li's voice, the voice that gave him advice and joked with him again and again in his growing years, he was very familiar with it. But he couldn't hear what Cao Li said to Zhu Yachuan, and before the words reached his ears, he was taken away by the mountain wind, and he could only vaguely hear some vague words, but they couldn't make sense.

Finally, Jiang Wangchen waited for Zhuyachuan to leave, and now there was only Cao Li on the hillside, and he wanted to rush out to ask Cao Li for an understanding and find out. Just as he was about to get up, he was pulled away, he was startled at first, because he was too focused on what was in front of him, and he even noticed that someone was approaching him from behind, but fortunately, when he saw the person behind him, his heart turned from nervous to happy, and finally returned to calm, the same demon clan, Hua Youyou's appearance made him have a natural relaxation, but just now this fright almost made him shout, but fortunately, Hua Youyou used her fingertips in time to put Jiang Wangchen's lips and stopped him from speaking. In order to stop Jiang Wangchen, Hua Youyou was very close to Jiang Wangchen, and inadvertently forced him to the side of the bushes, Jiang Wangchen had no choice but to take a step back, not wanting to step on a dead branch, and a crisp "click" seemed real in the quiet mountain forest.

Cao Li said vigilantly: "Who is it?"

Jiang Wangchen didn't dare to move, but the delicate and soft body of the flower rubbed against his body, as well as the dark fragrance on her body that could not be blown away, and the blowing like Shenglan, all seemed to be constantly teasing, causing Jiang Wangchen to breathe, and his flushed face involuntarily raised to find the air that was not blurred.

Another burst of spring equinox slowly blew by, stirring the faint green silk of the flowers, and a few more inadvertently clinging to Jiang Wangchen's face, gently rubbing. The stiff bushes don't sway in the wind, but through the gaps between the needles, dark shadows still seem to lurk in the shadows. Cao Li lowered his posture, for an assassin who had reached the realm of "treading waves", it was already easy to approach his prey without making any sound. Cao Li held the scabbard in his hand as he silently approached the bushes.

Although Jiang Wangchen couldn't hear the sound of Cao Li's footsteps, he could clearly feel that he was approaching, because the killing intent in the air suddenly rose and gathered in the direction where he was. He held his breath, for the first time he felt that the former second brother was approaching him with a raging killing intent, and at this moment he finally understood that everything was different from before, the second brother was no longer the second brother who stood side by side with him, and now he was just facing Cao Li who had taken refuge in the demon clan. He didn't think of his own situation, but he first alerted himself to Cao Li's position, and he couldn't mix with superfluous personal feelings, but could he really do it......

Cao Li's killing intent not only frightened Jiang Wangchen and Hua Youyou, but also frightened the nearby beast, a restless hare, finally couldn't bear the panic caused by fear, ran out of the cave in a panic, and like a blind fly, crashed into the bushes where Jiang Wangchen was, and then struggled to squeeze out, ignoring the small barbed fern thorn ball on the plush, and ran away from the bushes in a panic.

A meteor dart was lightly thrown out of Cao Li's fingertips, and he didn't see how hard he tried, the dart actually pierced the air, making a "hissing" scream, like a snake letter that had locked the poisonous tongue of the prey, and like a decree that pronounced fate, piercing into the hare's petite body accurately.

Cao Li sneered, stared at the corpse of the hare, and sneered: "If I were you, I would obediently stay in the cave, this world is dangerous, not what you can expect, it is also a good choice to be able to live a safe life, so why take the risk!"

After Cao Li finished speaking, he took advantage of the mountain to go downhill and stepped on the wind.

In the forests of the Dongdu Mountains, countless lives are killed every day, and this hare is just one of them.
