In the early morning, the sky was not yet fully lit, Xu Yan's mansion was brightly lit, and the servants were busy making the final preparations before departure. A young general in black armor www.biquge.info stationed outside the gate with twenty horsemen, and waited until the hour arrived to escort Xu Yan and the others to set off.

Except for a few sets of changing robes, Xu Yan had almost nothing to pack up, standing in the courtyard and watching Xiao Dezi and the others busy before and after.

"Childe, everything is packed. Xiao Dezi wiped his sweat and reported to Xu Yanyu.

"Let's go. Xu Yan said indifferently, waving his hand and walking out of the gate.

Xu Yan's master and servant had a group of eight people, more than a dozen boxes of large and small luggage, and four carriages were prepared in advance.

Out of the gate, the young general in black armor bowed to Xu Yan and introduced: "In Xia Mengtian, I will escort my son out of the border on this trip." ”

Xu Yan returned the salute and said, "Then there is General Lao." ”

Meng Tian summoned his own soldiers to give a few words, then looked at Xu Yan and said, "According to the rules, everyone and objects must be checked, please understand." ”

Without waiting for Xu Yan to answer, a few pro-soldiers walked towards Xiao Dezi, took out the character screen to check their identity, and finally checked the accompanying goods again before they would stop. Meng Tian walked up to Xu Yan and apologized: "Offended." Xu Yan rolled his eyes and could only be searched for examination.

After half a pillar of incense, after the soldiers finished searching, Meng Tian waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Go!"

Xu Yan rode alone in a carriage, Xiao Dezi and Yue'e and others took two carriages, and the last carriage pulled the luggage and goods, escorted by twenty sergeants led by Meng Tian, and went out of the city.

Meng Tian walked at the front of the line, and the city defender sergeant checked the token and the certificate of passage and immediately let him go, and the convoy went out of the city gate and headed east.

In the carriage, Xu Yan held a map, which recorded in detail the checkpoints passed along the way, as well as the geography around the Great Xia Kingdom.

The Great Xia Kingdom is located in the west of the Wu Kingdom, and it is more than nine hundred miles from the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom to the border, and according to the speed of the convoy, it will take about five days. After arriving at the border, walk further east through a desert with a radius of 100 miles before entering the territory of the Wu Kingdom.

Before entering the border, the horses need to be replaced by camels, during which they spend about two days in the border town of Dongshacheng.

"The first 900 miles of travel takes only five days, and although the desert area in the middle is only 100 miles, it takes six or seven days, so it can be seen that the road is quite difficult to walk. ”

However, what Xu Yan is most afraid of is the desert terrain, he faced a large area of desert all day long when he was in the Purple Desolate Region of the Sky Continent, and accumulated rich experience in desert survival, so such a terrain and landform is suitable for him to escape.

"As long as I enter the desert and get out of the escort of Great Xia, and I don't enter the strength of the Martial Kingdom, I will turn around and go north at that time, as long as I go out, everything will be in the sea, sky and sky. Xu Yan put away the map and knew the plan clearly.

Before arriving at Dongsha City, the arrangements for the march all the way were all under the command of Meng Tian, who hurried up during the day and rushed to the next checkpoint post station to rest before evening.

After two days in a row, except for getting off the bus at each checkpoint for routine inspection, Xu Yan hardly got out of the car, and stayed in the car to cultivate most of the time, but he was not fully immersed in cultivation, and always kept a little alert to the surrounding situation.

The latter followed, and rushed to Cangyun Pass to rest before dark. Meng Tian looked at the sky, stopped his horse and urged the people behind.

At dusk, the city wall of Cangyun Pass finally appeared in everyone's sight.

On the wall of Cangyun Pass, a defender poked his head out and shouted, "Who is down there?"

"The convoy of the prince of Wuguo returning to China, open the city gate quickly!" Meng Tian reported his name, and after waiting for a while, the heavy black iron gate slowly opened.

The convoy drove into Cangyun Pass, Xu Yan opened the curtain and looked outside, only to see that the cyan city wall was more than ten zhang high, and among the checkpoints seen along the way, the defense of this pass was second to none, and it was difficult to capture without ten times the troops.

Cangyun Pass is divided into two city walls, inside and outside, and the inventory along the way is strict, and several sergeants around Xu Yan's carriage are inspected for a circle before being released.

"Let's go. The leading officer waved his hand and let Meng Tian and Xu Yan enter the inner city wall, while the others continued to be inspected in the rear.

A suspicious look flashed on Meng Tian's face, as if he had some doubts, but in the end he didn't say anything, and advanced into the inner city with Xu Yan's carriage.

"Get out of the car!" Xu Yan's carriage drove into the inner city, and a black-faced officer blocked the way, pulling the curtain and shouting at him.

Xu Yan frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Even if you want to check, you don't need me to get out of the car, right?"

"Where is so much nonsense, let you come down and come down. The black-faced officer's eyes widened, and he looked like he was about to eat people.

Xu Yan pouted and got out of the carriage, it was rare to talk to this gang of ruffians, and he had also encountered defenders who deliberately made things difficult along the way, and most of them deliberately found trouble and gave some money to get away.

Bang Dang!

As soon as Xu Yan's front foot landed, the inner city gate behind him suddenly fell, and the black iron gate sealed the exit tightly.

Meng Tian finally couldn't help it, pulled out the saber at his waist and pointed at the black-faced officer, and shouted, "What do you want to do, don't you know who this is?"

"It's better to step aside for those who are interested, it's none of your business here. The black-faced officer lowered his head and smiled, waved his hand to block Meng Tian's long knife, and turned his head to stare at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan didn't understand anything at this time, the other party clearly came from him. It's just that who is behind the scenes? Was it the order of the Great Xia Emperor, or the arrangement of Murong Fei and others, or Chen Xiangting?

It was night, and a torch was lit above the dim city wall, and several figures walked out.

"Xu Yan, long time no see. Chen Xiangting crossed his arms and looked at Xu Yan condescendingly as if he was looking at his prey.

Xu Yan's face was a little unsightly. Before this, Xu Yan expected that Chen Xiangting would do it to himself, but he thought that he would only move at the border, but he didn't expect him to intercept and kill halfway, which was greatly unexpected.

Looking around, except for Meng Tian, who didn't seem to be with them, the entire Cangyun Pass was under Chen Xiangting's control.

Cangyun Pass is located in the hinterland of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the number of troops stationed in it all year round is about 500 people. Even if Chen Xiangting didn't launch the army, it would not be easy for the few people behind him alone, and Xu Yan's hands couldn't help but clench.

"You go out of town and pick up the others. Chen Xiangting stared at Xu Yan intently, and said in a low voice: "Leave it to me here, he is my prey alone." ”

Mr. Qin nodded, led everyone from the city wall passage to the outer city, and said before leaving: "Don't delay it for too long, fight quickly." ”

"Hehe, I've got my own measure. Chen Xiangting's eyes were red and he grinned.

"Meng Tian. If you are interested, you will leave, and you should not see anything here. When I go back to the court, I will give you an explanation. Chen Xiangting ordered someone to open the side door, slowly walked down the city wall, and looked at Meng Tian and Xu Yan face to face and said.

"The surname is Chen, if something happens, you are alone, I don't care. ”

Meng Tian glanced at Xu Yan, then turned his head to look at Chen Xiangting, and finally put away the long knife and turned his head away.

Not to mention Meng Tian's attitude towards Xu Yan, but he couldn't stop Chen Xiangting with his own strength, and he saved his life quite wisely, and Chen Xiangting also dealt with the mess afterwards.

At this time, in the huge inner city square, only Xu Yan and Chen Xiangting were left facing each other.

"Now, this is our dueling arena. ”

Chen Xiangting raised his arms, looked around and finally his gaze fell on Xu Yan, and said meaningfully: "Only one person can leave alive, just like when he was in the Blue Dragon Palace." ”

Xu Yan saw a strong hatred in his eyes, and he did this because he wanted to kill Xu Yan in a duel to pay tribute to the dead Chen Long.

"As you wish, I accept your challenge. Xu Yan lowered his head and put on the ice silkworm gloves in an orderly manner.

Chen Xiangting walked towards Xu Yan step by step and said with a smile: "No, no, no, this is not a challenge that you can't accept." I just want to kill you, a hundred times worse than my son. ”

Xu Yan raised his head, met Chen Xiangting's eyes without showing weakness, and said, "Accompany you to the end." ”

At this time, Xu Yan didn't have time to think about what would happen to Xiao Dezi and the others who were trapped in the outer city, and he didn't have the mood to care about Chen Xiangting's cultivation realm being two small realms higher than himself.

At this moment, Xu Yan only focused on one thing, fighting to the end.
