"Ordinary bandits, they use the Divine Arm Crossbow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xu Jingtang calmly put down the guy who was already trembling like chaff in his hand, and said lightly.

The adjutant hurriedly said, "Divine arm crossbow?"

"Well, interrogate him and see if you can get some useful information. Xu Jingtang nodded and commanded, but his expression was clearly not like holding any hope, this battle was really unequal, he only broke into the cold iron spear and swept the battle situation, such a battle obviously could not arouse his slightest interest, and looking at the only living mouth with a frightened look and a look that was not even good at speaking, no one would have too high expectations for the news in such a guy's mouth.

"Divine Arm Crossbow, what is that?" Yuan Lai asked in a low voice.

Xie Caiwei's eyes flashed, and she slowly explained: "This is the crossbow arrow of the imperial military, blessed with some superficial avenue rules on it, with special arrows very powerful, and it is very simple to use, it seems that the person who attacked is not a cultivator or a soldier, but just a group of bandits who take money to do things." ”

"Oh, a bunch of bandits, and this god arm crossbow...... It seems to be cannon fodder. ”

"It should be said that a group of cannon fodder who are so bold as idiots dare to attack Yu Linwei with this crossbow arrow, what is the difference between this and using the mantis arm as a car?" Xie Caiwei sighed.

"You said that this crossbow arrow belongs to the military, so can I guess that the person behind this group of cannon fodder is also a big man in the empire's army?" Yuan Lai asked in a low voice, he was not very worried about his own safety at this time, after all, a fool could see that the other party's purpose was not his own, so he was very interested in this matter itself.

Xie Caiwei didn't speak, as the Yulinwei soldiers scattered into the woods to clean up the battlefield, or a unilateral slaughterhouse, Xie Caiwei pulled Yuan Lai away from these soldiers, and then said: "It should be said that it is certain, it is not for nothing that the people can have a divine arm crossbow, let's just say that those families in the various state capitals of the Great Apocalypse, which one has something to do with the local garrison, it is not impossible to get this divine arm crossbow, but it is one thing to have crossbow arrows, and it is another thing to dare to attack the Yulin army!" Do you understand the significance of attacking the Feather Forest Army?"

"Yulin Army is the emperor's own army!" Xie Caiwei almost shouted in a low voice, this little girl who is usually Svenwen had a strange brilliance in her eyes at this moment, and her delicate fingers were twisted together to hide the fluctuations in her heart.

Yuan Lai squinted, he was not clear about the political pattern of the Great Apocalypse, since he came to this world, he had only slightly contacted the literati clan of the Great Apocalypse, and then slightly opened a corner of the cultivation world in the capital, and that's it, so when he saw the girl's tone, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Then what do you think is going on?"

"Northwest!" Xie Caiwei immediately gave such an answer.

"Northwest?"

Strictly speaking, it should be said that there are six states to the west of the Great Apocalypse and a region to the north, and the one there who has a very special position in the empire, I suspect that this matter has something to do with him, but I don't know what is going on, maybe my brother will know something. ”

Yuan looked at her solemn expression and asked, "Who is that person?"

"Haven't you heard?" Xie Caiwei was a little surprised.

It seems that this person should be a very famous figure, Yuan Lai naturally didn't know that he could only smile and hide his embarrassment, but fortunately, Xie Caiwei didn't ask much but popularized and said: "He is the only general in the empire who is the first general of the Long Xiang!

"Shentu Wojia?" Yuan Lai chewed on the name, and was about to ask carefully when he saw the adjutant of the team riding over and said with a smile: "Pack up, prepare to continue on the road, and arrive at the inn where you settle down in a short while." ”

Yuan Lai and Xie Caiwei looked at each other, didn't say anything, and followed.

Everyone was calm, and when the five hundred of them had left, there was only a large mound left in the grove.

And the sunset slowly disappeared at this time, and the night quietly fell.

Although there was no rush to march, but to say that he was not tired at all it must be a lie, when he arrived at the inn, someone naturally carefully received this group of military masters, and the innkeeper personally came out to greet him, his chrysanthemum-like smile made Yuan Lai unexpectedly think of the old bustard who solicited customers, and that thoughtful appearance made him feel sour, he didn't know that the virtue of ordinary soldiers in Daqi was actually better than that of bandits, and how could the owner of such a fine 500 cavalry team dare to have a little bit of neglect?

It's also thanks to the fact that this group of people is the Beiya Forbidden Army who eats under the imperial city, and the military discipline is strict, otherwise I can't say how many innkeepers will secretly scold my mother along the way.

"Divide into three teams to keep vigil at night! Xu Jingtang showed a slightly relaxed expression after finishing the order, he adjusted his mood and took Xie Caiwei and Yuan to dinner, and talked and laughed casually for a while, Xie Caiwei was very obedient and did not ask questions about what happened during the day, and this Xu commander obviously didn't want to explain it clearly to a junior, and finally just said to Xie Caiwei: Don't worry. And then he left.

"It's late, go to sleep. Yuan came to see the sky, it was already dark outside, only a string of flaming red lanterns at the door of the inn was very conspicuous in the night.

"Well, you can sleep too. Xie Caiwei nodded, took a lamp and candle and walked upstairs to her room.

Of course, five hundred people can't all live in a separate room, and tonight they didn't catch up with the post station opened by the empire, Yulinjun's gang can only make do with the Chase Shop, Xie Caiwei is girl is naturally impossible to squeeze together with those soldiers, so she lived in a single room on the second floor, and Yuan Lai was also stained with her light and was assigned a room by Xu Jingtang alone, which was not far or close to Xie Caiwei.

As night fell, the whole inn fell into a deep sleep, except for a group of soldiers outside the inn who kept a somewhat careless vigil, and during the day they saw with their own eyes that their commander easily wiped out the enemy like a tiger entering a flock, so although they were still vigilant, they couldn't help but look down on the enemy in the dark.

After Yuan Lai entered the room, he meditated a little tiredly and practiced for a while, and then he stopped and lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, and after sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he was suddenly awakened by a throbbing in his heart.

When he opened his eyes, he felt a burst of sweat on his back, and the golden heart in his body was still beating steadily, but his original heart was beating rapidly, and a familiar feeling of uneasiness came to his heart, he frowned and turned over and sat up, pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and the enhanced hearing after entering the first realm captured the subtle sounds of the entire inn in the darkness, and the sound of snoring, the movement of the guests at night, the sound of the wind, the movement of the horses grazing in the stable, and the whispered chatter between the soldiers outside the inn all converged into one and poured into his heart。

It was something he couldn't perceive in the noisy daytime, but it also caused him confusion at this time, and the gathering of such chaotic sounds made his head hurt a little.

Yuan Lai shook his head fiercely, and ran the vitality in his body along the meridians to the brain, and suddenly the whole person was much more energetic, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was not strong but it did not disperse, he decisively got up and put on his clothes and held the crane in his hand, and suddenly his whole heart was a little more stable.

Yuan Lai pushed open the door of the room, the corridor outside was quiet and unoccupied, he slowly walked a few steps along the corridor and subconsciously walked towards Xie Caiwei's room for some reason, he was completely subconscious, maybe because he was the closest to her in the whole team, and when he walked outside her room, Yuan Lai suddenly found that his heart was uneasy.

He looked stunned, reached out and knocked on Xie Caiwei's door, it must be rude to knock on the girl's door late at night, so he hesitated a little.

No one responded, so he knocked twice more, and then softly called out Xie Caiwei's name.

The cultivator's six senses are keen, if Xie Caiwei is here, he should wake up even if he falls into a deep sleep, but no one answers.

Yuan Lai's expression changed, and he pushed the door hard!

The door is not bolted, and it opens as soon as it is pushed, and where is the shadow of a girl inside?!

Yuan Lai flashed into the room, only to see Xie Caiwei's coat hanging next to the bed, but the person was gone, and the window opposite the door was already wide open!

He ran over, and saw a dark shadow in the darkness of the night!

He chuckled in his heart, seeing that the other party was about to disappear into the range of his gaze, he could only grit his teeth and raise his vitality, jumped out of the room and chased him!

And not long after he chased out, Xu Jingtang, who was wearing a single coat, appeared at the door, and his face became gloomy like water in an instant.

"Assemble!!"

He shouted loudly, and his voice was like a whirlwind that shook the whole inn to the ground! I don't know how many guests were so frightened that they woke up from their dreams!

And the fastest reaction was a team of Yulin guards who were keeping vigil outside the inn, they were instantly awakened by this sound, and a group of people suddenly raised their heads! In the blink of an eye, Xu Jingtang had already appeared outside the inn!

One of the soldiers wondered, "My lord?"

And what greeted him was Xu Jingtang's gloomy face like rain clouds, as well as a burst of anger and coercion!

The soldier's face turned pale in an instant! The blood in his body was actually stirred up by this coercion!

"Tell me to go down! Stay put! If I don't go back before dawn, Adjutant Liu will lead the team and continue to advance towards the city!

A group of Yulin Guard soldiers straightened their bodies and said loudly, "Yes!"

As soon as the word "yes" landed, the other Yulin soldiers who were sleeping just jumped up from the bed in a hurry, and Xu Jingtang turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in front of everyone.

And Xu Jingtang also covered his divine sense fifty meters around his body while running, paying attention to any clues, but unfortunately he cultivated a divine consciousness condensation method suitable for close killing, which was invincible within fifty meters around his body, but it was not suitable for tracking and finding people!

"Shentu Wojia, are you really so unscrupulous?!" he shouted in his heart, his eyes already anxious and solemn!

......

......

Yuan Lai has already raised his speed to the fastest, and he can only keep following the other party without losing it, he regrets a little at the moment why he didn't learn a style from Li Qingwan before he came out, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so passive, he had already seen that the person was carrying another petite figure on his shoulder, and looking at the other party's speed, it seemed that he still had the strength to go, if he hadn't carried a person, he would have thrown Yuan Lai off a long time ago.

The only good news is that because he has been able to keep up with them, it is far away from them, so the other party doesn't seem to notice that there is a small tail hanging behind him, so he runs in the dark night, Yuan Lai keeps thinking in his head, and estimates the time when he comes out, Xu Jingtang should have found out, waiting for the big commander to chase after him is the best way, he is not worried that Xu Jingtang will not take into account Xie Caiwei's safety, after all, he is only a commander of the Yulin Army, Xie Lingyun's anger as an important minister of the court is not something that his hat can withstand, the only worry is whether someone will attack at the inn at the same time, or Xu Jingtang can't find the right direction。

He didn't have much to think about, but kept leaving some marks on his run.

Finally, the speed of the people in front of him slowed down, which also relieved Yuan Lai, who was beginning to breathe, there was a broken temple in front, and this place was also very desolate, it seemed that this temple had been cut off for a long time.

The black shadow disappeared at the door of the ruined temple in a flash, as if walking into the mouth of a giant beast in the darkness.

Yuan Lai gasped twice, did not act rashly, but first began to adjust his breathing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and waited for his heartbeat to calm down before he began to approach, he did not choose the path that the black shadow had walked, but cautiously circled, approaching from behind the broken temple, and at the same time the hand holding the crane in the moon was already clenched.

Judging from the speed, that person is definitely not an ordinary person, if it is a cultivator, Yuan Lai can't figure out what the strength of the other party is, let alone whether there are any companions nearby, and he doesn't know why the other party kidnapped Xie Caiwei, she is just with Yulin Jun all the way, and the enemy in the dark must not have any intersection, unless......

"Unless they've identified the wrong person, or...... It's going to use this to hinder the Yulin Army's journey!" Yuan Lai secretly said in his heart, thinking about it like this, his heart was also a little lighter, the other party's purpose was not to kill people, being kidnapped proved that she was valuable, and being valuable could ensure the safety of her life for a period of time.

He took a deep breath, looked up at the position of the moon in the sky, and estimated that the time was about two hours before dawn, Yuan Lai approached the temple briskly, walked in through a gap in the courtyard behind the broken temple, and quietly dived inside.

The temple was pitch black, the moonlight shone through the gaps and the cracks in the walls, and there were wild grass and broken pieces of wood on the ground, which had fallen from the roof of the temple, Yuan Lai carefully avoided the wooden blocks and broken porcelain pieces, he listened carefully to the movement inside, but found that there was no sound in them.

When he came to the back of the Buddha statue in the temple, he could already see the location of the main hall of the temple, but what made him frown was that there was no one in the main hall, let alone the lights.

He had already walked through the rest of the temple from behind, and there was no hiding place except the main hall at this time, but......

"No?"

Yuan Lai stepped into the main hall in a daze, and he saw the main gate of the temple, which had been so decayed that it was unsightly, not long ago, the person came in from here carrying Xie Caiwei, but now there is no one to be found!

Yuan Lai's heart beat violently, and cold sweat suddenly wet the clothes on his back.

Lost?!

His heart sank.
