Chapter 52: Intelligence

"Newspaper—report to the lord of the city! An old man outside the city who claims to be you is coming to visit. ”

"Hmm, old man, who will pick this knot to come over?" Nan Gu wanted to go out and take a look, but was grabbed by Zheng Yingming, frowning and shaking his head: "Most of the people who picked this knot and came over are fraudulent, I think it's better not to go out." ”

"If you can't rest assured, come with me, and even if there is a fraud, you have to see what it is. With that, Nangu walked towards the outside of the city, and Zheng Yingming followed without saying a word. With two Sixfold Mountain masters together, the danger factor will be greatly reduced, and even if there is fraud, they can easily deal with it.

After a long time, Nan Gu and Zheng Yingming walked through the crowd, crossed the city gate, and saw a small figure at a distance of about five hundred meters in front of the main gate. The two of them glanced at each other, confirmed their eyes, and flashed together on the ground.

The two of them took a closer look, and it was a human being. Turning his gaze around, there was nothing unusual, only the cold wind of dawn blowing the leaves, causing a "rustling" sound. Nangu carefully looked at the person in front of him, searching for one picture after another in his mind, and he couldn't remember who this person was.

But before Nan Gu could ask his doubts, the man spoke to Zheng Yingming first, "You are the city lord, right? I am the camp sent by the imperial capital to aid Dawn City, when I passed by here, I met a large group of demons who left in embarrassment, seeing that your city gate was so badly damaged, you should have been attacked by demons, right?"

Seeing that the person had identified himself, Nangu covered his fist, put it to his mouth and coughed heavily, and then said, "Indeed, the demon is here...... Quite suddenly. It's not convenient to talk here, come back to the City Lord's Mansion with me!" Speaking of this, Nan Gu turned around and walked back, Zheng Yingming shrugged his shoulders awkwardly, and followed, leaving Yingji a little at a loss.

"What? He's the city lord? Isn't it boring for me to fight myself?" Thinking in his heart, Yingji was also embarrassed. But embarrassment is embarrassment, and it's really inconvenient to talk outside. The sky was already slightly bright, and the cold wind would still make people's hairs stand on end, so Yingji followed regardless of it.

Yingji is a unique profession in the imperial capital, when a person's strength breaks through to the Wuchong Mountain, if he has no lofty ambitions, he will be requisitioned and promoted, and he will be promoted to be a Yingji. The camp is to provide food and water to local governments across the country, and to distribute weapons and armor if the city is too badly injured.

The remuneration is often not fixed, and Yingji can propose a reward to the imperial capital government by himself, and as long as it meets the difficulty of the task, it will be distributed.

Walking to the city lord's mansion, Yingji saw a table next to a table, and even a little crowded. Looking at this battle, it doesn't look like it has just been fought, but it looks like a banquet and it is jubilant.

"This ......" Yingji was a little confused. The outer city wall was destroyed like that bear, and instead of building the city wall, they came here to drink? Of course, these can only be thought of in their hearts, and they do not say it.

"Daybreak City is two hundred miles away from here, and you have to go west after Ice Heart City. The imperial capital generally aids cities that have lost in battle, can it be said that ......" Nan Gu frowned slightly, his face a little stiff. If his conjecture is correct, it will not be easy to do for a while. After all, when a city is captured, it's not just the empire that loses a city.

"Hmm. As you think, Dawn City had already begun to fall a month ago, and it was a demon from the Seven Peaks who led the attack on Dawn City, and the situation was very grim. If Daybreak suffers, the cities further west will not be better supported, and when the time comes, it will fall apart and the borders of the empire will be in danger. Ying Ji took the tea made by his subordinates, sighed and said.

Nangu lowered his head slightly, his eyes swaying from side to side, as if his thoughts were racing in his head. In addition to Nangu, even Zheng Yingming and Hong Xin on the side felt incredible. What is this concept? Sevenfold Mountain is already considered a king-level powerhouse in the demon clan!

Unlike the Sixfold Mountain, no matter who cultivates to the Sevenfold Mountain, the strength will be unusually improved. The natural vitality is used for one's own use, and the recovery time is greatly reduced. If the Sixfold Mountain is a jackal, then the Sevenfold Mountain is a fierce tiger! And in Ice Heart City, the person closest to the Sevenfold Mountain is Zheng Yingming, and he asked himself if he couldn't go through three rounds under the strong man of the Sevenfold Mountain.

"It was a coincidence that they were coming a month ago, and Andrew, and they were coming today......? The demons on the other side of Dawn City are planning to open up in both directions? No, no, no, no! Things are not that simple! The high-level combat power of the demon clan has always had to fight against the high-level of the three empires together, and it is impossible to work hard in this medium-sized city. ”

Thinking that it seemed a little boring, Nangu stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. The three major empires are the Heaven and Earth Empire, the Wind and Cloud Empire, and the Dragon and Tiger Empire to which they belong. The three empires traded with each other and fought each other, while the heretics profited from their infighting.

Now, perhaps the demons have been dormant for too long, and they have accumulated to a certain extent, and then challenge the three major empires. But the problem is that they simply don't have the strength to wage war against the three empires at the same time, can it be...... They want to break them down one by one, just like they want to use this method to destroy the cities in the western part of the Heaven and Earth Empire one by one?

Not daring to think about it further, Nangu also told the demon how to attack and how to fight. After hearing this, Yingji also felt incredible. He had also heard a little about the situation in Ice Heart City, there had always been only three demons eyeing Ice Heart City, why did four pop up?

After thinking about it for a while, Yingji always felt that there was something wrong. Some time ago, there was news in the Imperial Capital Heaven and Earth City that Shattered Star City had dispatched two demons from the Sixfold Mountain, and he didn't know where they were transferred. Will...... Something to do with the extra demons this time?

"I'll report this matter to my superiors as soon as possible, you guys are doing it yourself, I won't stay here longer, after all, the situation is critical now, so I will leave!" Nangu and the others are also sensible, neither did much to keep them nor send them out of the city, as he said, now that the situation is serious, even his own Ice Heart City is not optimistic, and what to talk about giving away!

After Yingji left, he left several people in Nangu at a loss in the hall. Although they won the battle, they could not rejoice at all. It is said that the country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible, but to this day, the Empire has not issued any notice on the fight against heresy, is the Empire very confident in fighting heresy? If so, why did Daybreak almost fall?

......

In the tomb of life and death, Zheng and Nanxiao sat on the edge of the coffin facing each other, meditating while recovering. The middle of the coffin, the bone in the coffin. This sentence is easy to understand on the surface, but if you really want to understand it, it stumped the two for a while. Nan Xiao couldn't bear it, so she got into the coffin herself.

"No, what are you doing in the coffin of this unlucky boy!Hurry up, come out quickly, how unlucky is this!" Zheng Yu hurriedly stood up, trying to hold Nan Xiao, but found that she was already lying in the coffin.

Nan Xiao was already lying inside at this time, with his hands on his stomach, his eyes were closed, and he looked so ruddy in the faint firelight, he couldn't help but jump in his heart. When he reached in and shook her shoulder, Nan Xiao pulled his hand away and hummed, "Don't make trouble!"

"What are you doing?" asked Zheng Yu, who was a little confused.

"I'm wondering, if I were the owner of this tomb, how would I create an escape route?" Nan Xiao said with her eyes closed. But Zheng Fang snorted and said that she was naïve, so she carefully studied it around the coffin. When Nan Xiao heard this, she was not happy, and immediately helped herself up, and touched something with one hand, hard.

As soon as she sat up, Nan Xiao accidentally pressed down on that thing, and then there was a "click" at the bottom of the coffin, opening down like a door......

The piercing scream rushed into Zheng Fang's ears, grabbing his heart immediately, and the whole person was like a conditioned reflex, twisting his body, and jumping into the coffin as soon as he stretched out his hand! But who would have thought that he jumped like this, and instead of jumping into the coffin, he fell into a dark passage......

Two screams, one thick and one thin, gradually became lower at the mouth of the coffin, and finally low and inaudible. This passage is also zigzag like the previous one......

It took about a quarter of an hour for the two of them to fall down this passage, and Zheng Fang pounced on his face and landed on the ground first, standing up and screaming bitterly. Nan Xiao was already standing in front of him, as if nothing had happened.

Zheng Flail walked behind Nan Xiao, covered one side of his face with one hand, and supported his waist with the other hand and asked, "Why are you okay?" and Nan Xiao said in a low voice: "My feet hit the ground first, how can I land with my face." ”

It's still the same way, it's still a familiar conversation. Zheng Feng even had the urge to cry, he had the experience of being a human being in two lives, and his strength was still here, could he lose to this girl in this trivial matter?

"Do you see it? This stalactites are one after another, one after another, it turns out that there is a cave under the cave!" Nan Xiao was shocked by the scene in front of her. Although the torches were not brought, they were probably extinguished. But under this cave, in addition to stalactites, there are also a lot of amethysts with a faint purple light!

Amethysts are clustered in three, in groups of five, illuminating the entire karst cave, and this kind of light is not at all something that can be done by just one torch! When I walked behind Nan Xiao, I found that this karst cave was surprisingly large! It is no exaggeration to say that this place is so big that it can fit an entire city lord's mansion, and even the extra place can accommodate a few small families.

Even so, Zheng Flai's performance was still as waveless as an ancient well. He has seen this situation a lot, so naturally he will not be too surprised by his behavior.

At the feet of the two of them is a cliff as high as 50 meters, and beyond the cliff is a strange karst cave. If you can achieve absolute silence, you can hear the sound of "milk" slowly seeping down the cone-shaped stalactites and converging to the bottom of the culet and dripping into the milk pool. Under the faint glow of amethyst, the milk pool on the ground glows with the intersection of milky white and light purple, like a fairyland in the sky.

"This is the Warm Milk Jade Pool!" Zheng Yu pondered the memories of his previous life, although he had never been here, he had experienced a similar situation. Back then, when he was seeking the source of alchemy fire, he had reached a place similar to the wonders of a karst cave.
