The county commander Liu Or sent another county lieutenant Han Zhizhong, after seeing Li Xidu, he expressed his intentions directly, Li Xiju couldn't figure out Liu Or's intentions for a while, so he had to go with him, at this time Wang Qian, Qin Shijie and others heard the movement and rushed out, and after several people communicated, Wang Qian and Qin Shijie decided to accompany him.

Li Xi decided that Wang Qian had the grace to save his life, and he also guessed that at this time of crisis in Bancang County, Liu or came to invite Li Xiju, who must have bad intentions, so he insisted on staying by Li Xidu's side, so that he could take care of him.

Qin Shijie didn't even say that the purpose of coming to Bancang County had been achieved, and he accidentally met his classmates for many years, how could he not be with Li Xidu?

Shangguan Ling'er also wanted to go with her, but Li Xijue considered that she was not a monk, and it must be dangerous to go, so he categorically couldn't let her take risks, so Li Xiju shirked it on the grounds that Wang Qian's sister Wang Ling was seriously ill and needed to be taken care of, but fortunately, Shangguan Ling'er was well-behaved and sensible, and she didn't do much entanglement.

However, she still has a concern in her heart, which is why she wants to go with her. Her father, Shangguan Chong, was still in Uncle Hong's teahouse at this time, and that teahouse was in Dongcheng, and the demon clan occupied Dongcheng, so they must have been in trouble as well.

Of course, Li Xiju understood Shangguan Ling'er's thoughts, and bluntly said that he would do everything possible to rescue Shangguan Chong.

Before leaving, Miss Feng said to Li Xi: "You will definitely fight with the demon clan when you go, but you have to be more careful about people." ”

Li Xi understood what Miss Feng was referring to, and did not answer, and followed Han Zhizhong to Xicheng Lane.

Liu He used a herb shop in Xicheng Lane as a temporary command post, and at this time, the Wu brothers and Nalande Zeng, who came later, discussed with him a plan to retreat from the enemy.

Naland finally persuaded his father and brought three hundred disciples of the Middle Sect, although these disciples were only at the martial level, but they were almost all the lower-level disciples of the Middle Sect.

When Li Xiduan arrived, he happened to meet Liu Ruyi, after he was released by Li Xidu, he heard that the demon clan was coming, and his father was leading the official army to retreat from the enemy, so he immediately recruited monks in Itakura County, and spent a lot of effort to gather dozens of warrior-level monks.

As soon as the two groups of people looked at each other, it was Liu Ru who was the first to provoke, as soon as he saw the sword in Li Xidu's hand, he divided the fire, and Li Xidu's people let go of his people but did not return his sword.

Li Xiju smiled and said nothing, the movement outside alarmed Liu Or, he came out of the herbal medicine shop and saw Li Xidu, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord Changshi has arrived, and the lower officials have lost their distance." ”

Li Xi decided: "The county commander is polite, now that the demon clan is attacking, as a subject of Dachu, he should do his part and do his best." ”

"Da Chu has such virtuous officials as Lord Changshi, which is really the blessing of Da Chu. ”

Li Xike had no experience in officialdom, so he didn't answer, and asked, "What is the situation now?"

Liu or said: "There are 1,000 demon soldiers, and they are wreaking havoc in Dongcheng at this time, although the situation is a little critical, but they don't dare to attack here for a while, I have sent people to Linxian County to ask for support, I believe there will be news within two days." ”

Li Xiju nodded and looked in the direction of Dongcheng, above it, there was a purple hole, like the second round of the sun.

Li Xiju pointed to the hole and said, "What is that?"

Liu Or looked up, a faint uneasiness in his heart, but still said, "That's the teleportation array." ”

Wang Qian said: "When did Bancang County have such a teleportation array, why didn't I know if I had lived in Bancang County for so many years?"

The teleportation array is a powerful formation, with the function of moving, can instantly transfer a large number of objects from one place to another, generally speaking, the teleportation array is military, monopolized by the imperial court, and is used to transport food and materials in wartime.

Wang Qian's words were not answered, Li Xiju caught a glimpse of Liu He's face was wrong, and suspected that there must be something strange in his heart, but it was not easy to ask in public, so he said, "Where did this demon clan come from?"

Liu Or replied: "This group of demon clans comes from the white python seven hundred miles west of Itakura County, they are old rivals, Bancang County has been fighting with them since it was built, and they have not been able to eliminate each other for hundreds of years, and the imperial court has sent a large army to encircle and suppress it several times to nothing, and in the end they can only let it go, but this is the first time they have attacked the inner city." ”

Li Xi was determined to think that this time the demon clan came from the teleportation array, so it was natural that Bancang County was at a loss and was easily occupied in Dongcheng, but even Wang Qian, who grew up in Bancang County, didn't know about the existence of the teleportation array, how could the demon clan know?

There were too many doubts, which made Li Xiju feel powerless, and he thought, I just want to go home.

After a brief introduction to the situation outside, Liu or invited Li Xiju and others into the herbal medicine shop and personally served him tea.

A few people sat down, and Liu Or began to cut to the topic: "Itakura County has been hit hard by this, and I can't escape the blame as the county commander, I wanted to personally lead the official army to fight to the death with the demon clan, but I thought that Lord Changshi was still there in the city, so I asked Lord Changshi to preside over the overall situation." ”

Li Xiju had expected that Liu might have this move, and said with a slight smile: "Lord County Commander, although you are a little higher in the lower official position, but you are the order of a county, how dare I be offside, it is better for you to preside over the overall situation of this Itakura County." ”

Liu Or seemed to know that Li Xi would answer like this, nodded slightly, and said: "At this point, Xia Guan also thought of it, but Xia Guan has decided to lead troops to raid Dongcheng tonight, and no one will control it here, so there is such a request." ”

Han Zhizhong, the county lieutenant next to him, also said: "Yes, Lord Changshi, if the raid fails tonight, and there is no one in Bancang County to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that the people in the city will fall into the hands of the demon clan, and I dare to ask Lord Changshi to preside over the overall situation." ”

This time Li Xi made a decision, he couldn't guess why Liu or why he insisted on letting himself preside over the overall situation, was it as simple as just wanting to let himself carry the black pot?

Qin Shijie was behind Li Xidu, gently poked his back with his fingers, and then wrote a word, Li Xijue was a little hesitant, turned his head to look at Wang Qian behind him, but saw that he had a solemn face, and his eyes seemed to expect Li Xijue to agree.

Li Xiju knew that Wang Qian's idea was completely for the people of the city, and he thought that if Liu He really decided to attack Dongcheng at night, then should he promise him to stay and preside over the overall situation?

In the end, Li Xizhu decided to stay, he could not use the lives of the people of the whole city as a victim of intrigue with Liu or He, if there was any case, he would be a sinner for the ages.

Just as he was about to agree, the county lieutenant Zhang Tao rushed in.

"Meet Lord Changshi, Lord Prefectural Order. ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Or saw that it was about to come to pass, Zhang Tao suddenly appeared, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Zhang Tao said: "The demon clan is coming." ”

"What?"

"At this time, the demon clan sent an envoy, what is the intention?"

Everyone present had a lot of discussions.

Liu Ru was impatient and asked, "How many people?"

"Just two, one of them calls himself the captain of the demon soldiers. ”

Liu He fell silent, he didn't expect the demon clan to suddenly send an envoy, he couldn't guess the demon clan's thoughts at all, and he was even more worried.

Li Xiju didn't think much about it, but the demon clan was willing to send an envoy, maybe he came to negotiate peace, if he could take back Dongcheng without using his sword, then why not?

He said, "Lord Liu, shall we go and meet you?"

Liu Or had no choice but to say: "Everything is arranged by Lord Changshi." ”
