The western part of the empire is under lockdown.

Lockdown is not a large city, but it is also a very prosperous place in normal times, and it can be regarded as a medium-sized city. The shape of the whole city is like a funnel, and the entrance is extremely narrow, of course, the narrowness is also relatively speaking, and the actual width is also a few hundred zhang away. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the mountains are steep. Entering the city gate, all the way forward, you will find that the road is getting wider and wider, and finally the view is wide, and a prosperous city appears like a gourd belly surrounded by these mountains.

When the advance team led by Guan Wenzheng came outside the closed city gate, the scene in front of him made everyone gasp.

I saw that the towering city wall was full of holes, although it was repaired and filled, but it still showed the ravages and ravages it has endured in these days. The most terrifying thing was that at this time, on the open square outside the city gate, there were piles of bloody corpses. Countless corpses piled up, forming mountains of meat. Roshan was rotting, and some of the flesh was already growing white maggots, and many flies and insects were crawling on top of the corpses, dense and numb. And there was a foul smell wafting through the air, and I am afraid that I could smell this disgusting smell for a mile or two here.

"Vomit ......", "vomit ......", "vomit ......"

The disciples of the Huofeng Sect had not yet approached the lockdown city, and some of the weaker female disciples just opened their mouths and vomited.

Seeing this, Guan Wenzheng frowned, and hurriedly passed down the order, asking Elder Delin to send the medicine boy from the Dan Pharmacy to prepare spices and distribute them to everyone to cover their mouths and noses with silk handkerchiefs. At the same time, everyone stopped, and he took the lead in flying to the closed gate of the city alone.

In a moment, Guan Wenzheng had already swept outside the gate of the sealed city, looking at the defensive barrier on the city wall and fortress that flickered from time to time, and his heart was a little complicated.

"Who's coming!?" said a soldier on the top of the city wall, looking at Guan Wenzheng below.

Guan Wenzheng hugged his fists towards the guard, and said loudly: "I am Guan Wenzheng of the Huofeng Sect, and I am tired of informing General Meng Gang!"

"It turned out to be Guan Protector! Please forgive the villain's clumsiness!!!" The soldier smiled when he heard this, and bowed respectfully to Guan Wenzheng, and then shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the city gate.

"This brother! I am not alone in entering the city this time, now that the Red Maple Mountain has been destroyed, I have decided to find another place to resettle! Therefore, Brother Lao told General Meng Gang that in a few moments, we will enter the city!" Guan Wenzheng said with a smile, seeing that the city gate was open, he hurriedly took out a few ingots of gold and silver from his cuffs and handed them over to the soldiers who opened the door, "These silver mean two things, this piece of gold will be handed over to your captain!

"Guan Protector is polite!" Several soldiers were in a hurry and didn't know what to do, where did a lowly gatekeeper like them have the opportunity to contact a powerful person like Guan Wenzheng, but now I didn't expect Guan Wenzheng to be so polite, which made several of them a little nervous, and they were full of gratitude to Guan Wenzheng in their hearts. Such a big man actually put a small person like himself in his eyes, how can he not make them excited.

But ah, these lowly soldiers, when they felt the slightest favor from those who were higher than them, were grateful to Dade, but they completely forgot their own rampant face when facing those who were more humble and weak than themselves, and they did everything they could to extort money from the common people, and they did not think at all how painful and uncomfortable the hearts of those civilians were.

After arranging things properly, Guan Wenzheng sacrificed his flying sword, quickly passed through the stench of the corpse mountain, and led the team of the Huofeng faction towards the closure of the city.

The disciples and elders of the Huofeng Sect were much better after covering their mouths and noses with silk handkerchiefs wrapped in spices, but when they passed through the piles of corpses, there were still many people who felt nausea and vomited.

Finally passing through the corpse mountain outside, the team of the Fire Maple Sect finally stepped into the lockdown city.

Guan Wenzheng is still at the forefront of the team, leading the team forward. At this time, General Meng Gang, who was guarding the closed city, had already come here, he had already been in contact with Guan Wenzheng, and he was already an old acquaintance, and he gave Guan Wenzheng a bear hug very enthusiastically when they met.

Meng Gang had a big beard and a huge body, like a huge grizzly bear. Wearing heavy armor and a giant sword pinned to his waist, the whole person exudes a majestic aura.

In the morning, Guan Wenzheng had already contacted Meng Gang, so Meng Gang had already set up a residence in the city, and ordered some soldiers to lead the disciples and elders of the Huofeng Sect there. He and Guan Wenzheng stood on the city wall, chatting and laughing with each other.

Meng Gang was very interested in the incident that happened on Hongfeng Mountain a few days ago, but because the lockdown was also in the midst of war at that time, he did not send anyone to investigate. Now that Guan Wenzheng is here, he naturally asks carefully.

Guan Wenzheng did not say anything about Guan Sheng, but only prevaricated on the grounds that the enemy was coming.

The two sat at a small table on the city wall and chatted, sighing about the impermanence of the world, talking about some national affairs, and sometimes chatting about some yellow jokes, which caused the two to laugh.

"Brother Wen Zheng, is it true that all of you immortal cultivators are not allowed to marry? Could it be that if you do that, you will leak your essence and become an immortal?" Meng Gang drank some wine, and his face was already slightly flushed.

Guan Wenzheng smiled, grabbed a large piece of meat on the table with his chopsticks, chewed it heavily, and said: "That's not the case! We cultivators pursue the improvement of the realm of strength, and when our strength reaches a certain height, they will naturally become immortals! The people mentioned by the virtuous brother are those cultivators in the Taoist temple. Cultivators are pure in heart and have few desires, and pursue the improvement of the spiritual realm, so they are not allowed to marry. I really don't know much about that way of cultivating, how can I reach the realm of immortals by meditating for a day for no reason?"

"Oh!?So, Brother Wen Zheng can get married!So why don't you have a sister-in-law yet?" Meng Gang was a little drunk and said with a smile, "If Brother Wen Zheng has this thought, I can introduce one to my brother!"

"Thank you for your kindness, it's just ...... It's just that I've already ......" Guan Wen is such a tall and strong man, and at this time, his resolute face actually showed a slight shyness, which is really rare.

Meng Gang also saw what Guan Wenzheng meant, so he didn't continue, turned his head and looked at the Huofeng faction team outside the city wall that had not yet fully entered the city, and suddenly his eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked at Guan Sheng who was sitting on the sedan chair carried by the four people in the team, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head, stared at Guan Sheng carefully, and asked Guan Wenzheng: "Brother Wenzheng!

Guan Wenzheng saw that Meng Gang saw Guan Sheng, his eyes rolled, and he said, "That little young master was sent to the Huofeng Sect by a wealthy family to practice!"

"Experience?!It is an experience, why does the Huofeng Sect want to go with him!?" Meng Gang had some doubts in his heart, as if he felt that Guan Sheng's appearance was a little familiar, and slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the daughter wall, and stared at Guan Sheng carefully.

"But isn't it! Who would have thought that such a big event would happen to him just a few days after he came to the Huofeng Sect! But he is weak and needs to go through a few years of training! Even if he moves, he will go with him! Brother Xian, leave him alone, come, let's continue drinking! I haven't seen each other for so many years, talk about what to do!" Guan Wenzheng poured the wine for Meng Gang and greeted Meng Gang.

However, Meng Gang was a little puzzled, but at this moment, the strength of the wine was already up, and his head was dizzy, so he couldn't think clearly, and when he heard Guan Wenzheng greeting, he turned over and sat down, and continued to chat with Guan Wenzheng.

When Meng Gang and Guan Wenzheng chatted for less than a moment, suddenly a captain in armor stepped forward in a panic, approached Meng Gang's ear, and whispered. As the lieutenant spoke, he raised his eyes from time to time to glance at Guan Wenzheng.

Guan Wenzheng pretended not to hear.

After that, the lieutenant took a scroll from his cuff.

Meng Gang unfolded the scroll and looked at it, his complexion changed suddenly, he woke up for seven minutes, looked at Guan Wenzheng with a little anger, unfolded the scroll, and said loudly: "Brother Wenzheng! I had a young friendship with you and confidanted with each other, but I never thought that you would deceive my junior brother because of this today!"
