Qinghe County, outside the county capital.

With the support of a group of sergeants, Lu Chen and the others also quickly came to the gate of Qinghe County Mansion.

I saw that here, a group of high-ranking officials who had passed through a cavalry to deliver the news in advance were already standing here with a smile on their faces.

At the forefront of them, Xu Shu, Xiahou Yuan and others were of course standing here.

When Lu Chen left Qinghe County before, he handed over all the things in this county to them to manage.

But today, in addition to the two of them, there is still a fierce general under Lu Chen, who is also standing here.

Moreover, after this fierce general saw Lu Chen, he only showed a wry smile on his face, as if he had encountered something very difficult.

And at this moment, after Lu Chen saw this fierce general, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

"Male...... Xiongxin! Why are you here? Aren't you guarding the three counties in southern Xinjiang? ”

So at this time, a voice of such doubts also resounded in an instant.

"Lord, the last will be guilty, please punish the lord!"

Suddenly, listening to Lu Chen's question, Shan Xiongxin immediately knelt down respectfully towards Lu Chen without a trace of hesitation.

Li Xin and Han Qingxue, who were beside Lu Chen, were a little stunned.

Is Shan Xiongxin guilty?

Why did they just return to Qinghe County from Wucheng County, and they encountered such a thing.

Could it be that in the days after they left, there was some great turmoil in or around Qinghe County?

"Alright, Xiongxin, get up quickly. We'll talk about it when we get to the county hall, after all, this is not a good place to talk about these things. ”

Looking at Shan Xiongxin kneeling in front of him, Lu Chen also hurriedly helped him up, and said so.

Although Shan Xiongxin told him so, there should be something big that has happened, but he, Lu Chen, is not going to punish the fierce general who is absolutely loyal to him for one thing.

......

Subsequently, Lu Chen and the others soon came to the lobby of the county government.

After what Shan Xiongxin had done before, the atmosphere here immediately became a little serious, and there were no more smiles on people's faces.

At this time, looking at the three fierce generals in this hall, as well as the military advisor Xu Shu, Lu Chen also nodded lightly.

Although he doesn't know what happened yet, as long as he has such a group of fierce generals and military advisors by his side, Xu Shu is there.

So no matter what happened, for Lu Chen, he had the confidence to solve it.

As for Han Qingxue, after she had just entered the county government, Lu Chen asked her to go to Sister Lu Wei by herself, which could be regarded as reporting the news of her safe return to Sister Lu Wei in advance.

"Tell me how you came back here. Remember, you don't have to kneel for me now, just say it. ”

At this time, Lu Chen also immediately looked at Shan Xiongxin with a serious face and asked.

In fact, there is no need to ask, Lu Chen can guess some in his heart.

Because before, Shan Xiongxin was obviously leading the troops to guard the three counties in southern Xinjiang within Lingnan County.

And now, Shan Xiongxin is back here in Qinghe County.

What does this mean? This must indicate that the three counties in southern Xinjiang are afraid that they have been lost!

"Lord, Nan...... The three counties in southern Xinjiang were lost by me! ”

"Just two days ago, the barbarians suddenly sent as many as 80,000 troops, of which 15,000 barbarian soldiers came straight to the three counties in southern Xinjiang that I guarded. The other 65,000 barbarian soldiers all attacked the Lingnan county town. ”

"In the three counties of southern Xinjiang, in the face of so many barbarian soldiers, I really didn't hold the city, so that the three counties of southern Xinjiang were breached, but ......"

When he said this, Shan Xiongxin's eyes immediately looked at Lu Chen again, as if he couldn't believe what he was going to say next.

"But what?"

Looking at Shan Xiongxin, who was a little difficult to speak, Lu Chen immediately asked.

At this time, he couldn't think of anything that could make it so difficult for Shan Xiongxin to speak in the area of the three counties in southern Xinjiang.

Could it be the peerless powerhouse of the barbarians? No, probably not.

Because if it was really a peerless powerhouse of the barbarian race, then now, Lu Chen might not be able to see Shan Xiongxin for a long time.

"My lord, in the battle of the three counties in southern Xinjiang. Both our army and the barbarian army suffered extremely heavy casualties, and the total number of people who escaped from that battlefield alive was only three or four hundred. ”

"Because on the battlefield, when we are killing the enemy. An incomparably powerful heaven-level spirit beast actually ran out in an instant, and it also launched an attack on everyone it saw. ”

"In the estimation of the last general, that heaven-level spirit beast is afraid that it has at least the strength of a fivefold powerhouse in the Heavenly Martial Realm! And its appearance is a bit like a dragon! But of course, it's definitely not a real dragon. ”

Soon, under Lu Chen's questioning again, Shan Xiongxin immediately reported everything to Lu Chen.

And at this moment, listening to Shan Xiongxin's speech, Lu Chen was also slightly shocked for a while.

When the two armies were fighting, a heaven-level spirit beast that looked like a dragon suddenly appeared, and as soon as it appeared, it was a big killing.

In this Heavenly Fire Dynasty, there is such a thing?

I'm afraid that this kind of thing, in the hundreds of years of history of the Tianhuo Dynasty, has never happened more than three times.

However, since this sentence came out of Shan Xiongxin's mouth, then Lu Chen would certainly not feel any doubts about it.

"My lord, after General Shan returned to Qinghe County. I was also very surprised by this, so I sent a few teams to the three counties in southern Xinjiang to find out. ”

"However, the teams sent out, so far, they have never returned."

At this time, looking at Lu Chen, who was slightly shocked, Xu Shu, who was on Shan Xiongxin's side, also quickly stood up and said loudly.

"That's right, my lord. Another important point is that I have also read many ancient books based on the appearance of the heaven-level spirit beast described by General Shan. ”

"Among these ancient books, I finally found a heaven-level spirit beast that was similar to it. And this kind of heaven-level spirit beast is the Golden Earth Dragon, and every Golden Earth Dragon has a strength comparable to that of a peak powerhouse in the Heavenly Martial Realm when it reaches adulthood! ”

"This golden earth dragon likes to sleep in the underground all year round, and it sleeps for many years. And during the time it was asleep, as long as it was woken up, then the Golden Earth Dragon would really be angry. ”

In front of everyone, Xu Shu said it slowly. All of what he said was what he had seen in some ancient books in the county.

The Golden Earth Dragon is a heaven-level spirit beast, although it is not a real dragon.

But just after becoming an adult, the fact that it can have the strength comparable to the peak powerhouse of the Heavenly Martial Realm can already make it stand out among the many heaven-level spirit beasts.

And in this regard, Lu Chen immediately let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Golden Earth Dragon? As long as he is an adult, he can have a strength comparable to that of a peak powerhouse in the Heavenly Martial Realm? Hiss-"

"This kind of heaven-level spirit beast is worthy of having a dragon character!"

As the saying goes: people are more angry than people.

But now Lu Chen realized that people are actually better than people.

If people were to be compared to such a golden earth dragon, then it would really make people feel extremely ashamed and jealous.
