Chapter 81: Before the Storm II

81_81671 Cao Shunyang slowly turned around. He saw that several different emotions appeared on her face at the same time. What he could see was anxiety and surprise. He couldn't remember the last time he had seen her like this. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

"I estimate that in the latest two days, Cangyan and Xiliang provinces will be under full martial law. Each town and village will send a certain number of additional troops. Xiliang Province has issued a temporary ban on the sea, temporarily prohibiting all ships other than military ships from sailing at sea. The navy in the Xiliang Sea will probably temporarily block all shipping lanes to the Jianyan Country in the next few days, prohibiting all ships from navigating. ”

"Why?" asked Liu Xiying.

"The deputy marshal guesses that the backstage of the Five Beasts Gang is the 'Dark Spirit' evil spirit master unit of the Jianyan Kingdom," Cao Shunyang said, "It is very likely that they will send a message to the 'Dark Spirit' through the sea route in the Xiliang Sea." ”

Liu Xiying shook her head lightly and didn't say anything.

Cao Shunyang took two steps forward, stood in front of her, and quietly stared at her purple-black eyes.

"The boss said that we need to send people to the Xiliang Sea to assist the naval forces to ban the sea. There is a possibility that the 'Dark Spirit' forces will send men to smuggle across the line. ”

"Do you need me to go?" Liu Xiying was a little surprised.

"Yes," Cao Shunyang nodded, "The boss and the military commission will let you go." I can't walk away now. ”

Liu Xiying turned her head slightly and looked to the other side.

"Don't you worry about her? I understand you. It's the same for me. But 'she' is still too young after all, and it takes time to digest and absorb this power. Besides, the manager is here, there will be no problems. ”

Liu Xiying just nodded and sat back on the stone bench.

"Don't you want revenge?" Cao Shunyang walked around to her again, "For him, and for yourself?"

"I did think about it before. Liu Xiying's tone was like that of a little girl who had been wronged.

"Isn't this the opportunity?" Cao Shunyang was a little anxious, "Xiying, you should know what ...... you and I have on our shoulders?"

"I know. ”

Liu Xiying slowly stood up from the stone bench and looked into Cao Shunyang's eyes. She stared hard at the pair of golden, piercing eyes, as if she wanted to engrave them in her mind.

"If it weren't for the Dark Core choosing me, I would have thought I was dead. I thought about giving up many times, but in the end I held back. It's for him and her that I've stuck to this point. ”

She slowly walked to the stone door, raised her hand, and pulled it open. The heavy stone door was no different from a fluttering piece of paper in her hand, and it opened as soon as she pulled it.

"Did the manager tell me when I should go?"

"It's best to go now," Cao Shunyang said lightly, "go directly to Pingling Port." The central government has already sent a communication spirit master to send a message to Xiliang Province and the Xiliang Navy. You'd better go right over. The intelligence system and staff of the Jianyan country are not dry either. If they want to act, they do it fast. ”

Liu Xiying turned her head and smiled faintly. No more that miserable wry smile. She put on her veil again, walked out of the cavern, and rose to the ground.

Cao Shunyang sat on the stone table and slowly spread his right hand. Five golden rays of light shot out from the fingertips of the five fingers of his right hand, illuminating the entire stone cave. The candle in the center of the stone table was extinguished instantly.

The junction of Pingyuan Province and Cangyan Province.

Several clouds of different shapes and thicknesses float in the sky, crowding each other into the territory of the place. The whole sky looked like an old garment with many patches, gray and white, but some gray was darker, and some gray was lighter. Although the snow has stopped for a while, this kind of not gray and white sky can still feel oppressive.

A unit is marching on the main road that crosses the border between the two provinces. Looking down from above, the whole team looked like a long dragon. There were hardly any civilians on the entire road, only this army was marching. Since the outbreak of the war, there have been very few ordinary civilians traveling to the three provinces in the northwest.

The queue of this army was strange, and the soldiers did not march in full rows or columns, but in squads or squads in circles. These "circles" are not exactly the same size: each small "circle" is usually composed of seven or eight people, with a commander in the middle, and each large "circle" is usually composed of a dozen or dozens of people, divided into two layers inside and outside or inside and outside, with a commander and two lieutenants in the middle. The whole team is a group of hundreds of such "circles", which are commanded by the largest four-layer "circle" in the center of the team.

Anyone with a little sense of perception can see that most of the soldiers in this army are just ordinary people with weak spiritual power. But all the commanders standing in the center of the "circle" are basically spirit masters. Each soldier was heavily armed, wearing not only a full suit of heavy armor, but also carrying a large-caliber musket that was a few points thicker than their arm. Each piece of armor is inlaid with metal plates made of special metal, and key parts are inlaid with aquamarine crystals of various shapes and sizes. Each piece of metal, each spar, emitted soft spiritual power fluctuations, connecting each warrior into a whole. The muzzle of each musket also released faint fluctuations of spiritual power, as well as a faint metallic aura. These spiritual power fluctuations are all pure attributeless spiritual power, which is no different from pure heaven and earth element power. Probably for this reason, these soldiers marched a little faster than the average soldier running at full speed.

Kang Long rode a cyan horse and slowly walked in the middle of the largest four-story "circle". A wide black robe covered his entire body, including the armor on his body and the general star on his shoulders. His gaze was still as deep as a pool, but his hair was more messy, and he looked like a bird's nest ramped by the wind.

In the sky, a white dot of light was flying from the south. The point of light flew very fast, and within thirty seconds it was on the periphery of the four-story "circle" in the center of the group. He is a pure speed spirit master who is completely white. In the communication spirit master army of the Cangling Country, a pure speed spirit master like him is the most popular, because the speed of delivering letters or delivering important items is the fastest. He froze in mid-air and saluted Kanglong.

Kang Long returned the salute with a blank face and beckoned. The white-clothed spirit master immediately took out a letter with a spiritual power seal from his uniform pocket, and raised his hand to push it out.

The thin white envelope swirled and fell into Kanglong's hand. He raised his hand to unseal it, took out the letter, and read it twice quickly.

"I see. If you go back and send a message, it will be said that the Spirit Core Valley has sent people to Cangyan and Xiliang to support. The march of the three-way troops on our side will be accelerated. ”

"Yes, General. The white-clothed spirit master saluted again, instantly turned into a white light, and returned the way he came.

Kang Long clenched his right hand and squeezed the letter in his hand along with the envelope. A cloud of ocean-blue light immediately released from his right fist, turning the letter and envelope into water little by little.

"Speed up. Run forward at high speed. ”

Green City. Department of Security. Underground interrogation room. Recidivism interrogation room.

Lingzhi lay flat on a huge metal platform in the center of the interrogation room, motionless. Four sturdy, round iron cuffs each locked her limbs, holding her firmly to the cold metal platform. The two layers of spiritual power seals each sealed half of the spiritual veins in her body, making her unable to use any spiritual power at all. A rough and thick prison suit wrapped around her body like a load.

She closed her eyes, tilted her head, and didn't make a sound. Except for breathing and heartbeat, all other signs of life in her body seemed to be gone.

Huang Yixiong, Director Yang, and Sang Guozheng stood on three sides of the metal platform, staring at the female prisoner on the stage. Three teams of spirit masters and a dozen staff members surrounded them.

"Have you checked it all?" Huang Yixiong turned his head and asked a female spiritual master on his left.

"Yes, Mr. Governor," replied the female spiritual master, "she is the upline of Fu Guoping's group and Xie Bao's group, the woman codenamed 'Lingzhi'. Her martial spirit is Jade Ruyi, and her spiritual power level is fourth-order and second-order. Her spiritual power was originally a light attribute, but later she strayed into the evil spirit master organization, and was affected by evil magic and forbidden drugs, coupled with her cultivation and went crazy, she became a rare light evil spirit master. ”

"We've searched her just now," replied another female spirit master, "and she not only has the Five Beasts tattoo on her body, but also a grimace representing the 'Dark Spirit' forces of the Rock Country. This proves that the Five Beasts have become an espionage organization under the command of the 'Dark Spirit' forces. ”

Huang Yixiong's face immediately became ugly. He took two quick steps forward and pulled away the sack-like prison clothes on Lingzhi's body. There are two large openings on the left and right sides of this prison suit, which can be pulled apart from the left and right sides. He saw two tattoo patterns on Lingzhi's body.

"Mr. Governor," said a bespectacled staff member standing on the other side, "all the spiritual veins in her body have dried up under the influence of the evil arts, and some are about to break. Her mind was starting to get confused, too. We tried to interrogate her just now, and she could barely utter a full sentence. We don't dare to use hypnotism on her right now, for fear of breaking her spiritual veins. For her, there was a fatal danger of breaking or breaking her spiritual veins. ”

"Yes," Director Yang stroked his beard, "she's the most important clue we have so far. We need to hurry. The people of the Five Beasts are very cunning, and if we slow down a little, they will have a good chance of transferring. ”

"I'll do it. Sang Guo was walking briskly to the front of the metal table.

"Dean Sang, what method are you going to use?" asked Director Yang.

Sang Guozheng didn't speak, but raised his right hand and aimed his palm at Lingzhi, which was bound to the metal platform. A rich breath of life instantly released from his body, filling the entire interrogation room. A wave of grass-green spiritual power fluctuations slowly poured out from his palm, releasing bursts of fresh fragrance like grass
