The bright moon is like a hook, and the remnant clouds are like yarn.

Outside the South Valley Road, piles of bonfires are blazing.

The soldiers of the Qinglong and Suzaku armies camped on the spot, one was to guard against the enemy's attack, and the other was to guard the fleeing people, so as not to have further twists and turns.

"That's the way it is..."

In front of the fire, Mo Huaixian shook his head slightly, "Except for a few demons in the city, there is no abnormality in Yong'an, no one covets the mine, and the blood-clothed thief captured by the adults also committed suicide by taking poison on the spot." ”

"What I can't figure out is that even if the demons among the homeless people are mixed in, it won't make much of a mess, what do they want to do?"

Wang Xuan frowned and looked in the direction of Shanyin, "We... Probably hit the mark. ”

"Medium?"

Mo Huaixian pondered for a moment and figured it out, "What do you mean, my lord, that they are just creating chaos so that we don't dare to act rashly and go to rescue Shanyin?" ”

"That's right..."

Wang Xuan's face was calm, "This is a conspiracy, even if we see through it, we are still helpless, the army is not out, it is not used, the army is dispatched, and Yong'an will be chaotic." ”

Mo Huaixian sighed, "My lord is right, Yong'an's background is too poor, it's good for us to protect ourselves." ”

"At present, the military governments in various places are recruiting people in a big way, and they can only grow stronger unless they annex each other, but the royal family has sent a long history to restrain them, and I thought I expected this."

Wang Xuan nodded and stopped talking, secretly checking the Heavenly Dao Deduction Disk.

The progress of the fusion of the remnant "Blood Demon Body Forging Technique" and "Tiger and Leopard Alchemy" has risen to 33% in a few days, and it will be completed in another week.

Sure enough, neither of them is of high level, and I don't know what will come up with it...

At this moment, a person rushed forward on a moonlit night, and his body was as fast as a ghost.

"Who?!"

"Don't worry, it's the Mo family's spies."

The person who came was a tall and thin man, and when he stopped, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly pulled off the strap with the talisman tied to his leg and threw it into the fire.

Call~

As the straps lit, the wind dispersed and the bonfire was almost extinguished.

Wang Xuan is not surprised, he heard Guo Luquan talk about this kind of armor and equestrian skills, if it is related, he will ask the City God Temple to borrow a piece of incense and fire divine power, which is harmless and easy to use.

If there is no way, you can only borrow the power of powerful ghosts, which will inevitably damage the blood.

"Childe, my lord..."

The man's lips were purple, and he bent down and arched his hand: "The villain was ordered to go to Shanyin to investigate, first went to Huaishu Village, where it was a mess, there were a lot of bloodstains, but there was no half of the body, and then went to Shanyin City, which has become a ghost cave, and the villain did not dare to approach." ”

"Devil's den?"

At this time, even Wang Xuan was a little stunned, "The ghost cave is a place of great evil, gathering groups of powerful ghosts, it takes a hundred years to form, and Shanyin is only half a day..."

Halfway through her words, her brows furrowed slightly: "The old woman said that she heard a loud noise in the City God Temple, could it be that the hole was broken and arranged into a fierce array?" ”

"What about Lin Jiu, what did he say?"

"He has the secret skills of the royal family, and he can use the Chenghuang Temple to transmit the message, but at the time of the incident, the chief of Sanyin City only sent half a sentence about the fall of Sanyin, so he couldn't be contacted..."

Wang Xuan stopped talking and looked coldly at the wilderness under the night.

Sure enough, as Guo Shouqing said, the blood-clothed thief has an unpredictable style of acting, and he has a well-planned plan, and there must be a scheming wise man behind it.

Only a few inconsequential dead soldiers were sent to drag Yong'an, and if I guessed correctly, the same was true for Qucheng.

Even the entire merger state is in its calculations.

If this terrible enemy is to deal with Yong'an,

Can you hold it yourself?

……

In the days that followed, various news came one after another.

There were demons in Qucheng, causing riots, and they were surrounded and killed by the masters of the Assassin Gate...

Ningfeng County, located in the southeast of Bingzhou, fell, and Shanyin County turned into a ghost town, where it was also the territory of the Xiao family, and the military government had more people, all of whom disappeared...

The fall of Tongyuan County is also the territory of the Xiao family...

Cheng Mingzi, the elder of the Taiyi Sect in Fucheng, was assassinated, and although he was rescued, he lost his way...

And the blood-clothed thieves are once again hidden in the mountains...

……

"The target of the blood-clothed thief is the Xiao family."

In the military tent, Mo Huaixian breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at himself: "It seems that small also has small benefits, and it will not be noticed, but how to deal with this mess?" ”

That's right, the blood-clad thieves left behind a lot of trouble.

First of all, there are the droughts that run rampant everywhere, which cause the mountains and forests to dry up, the earth to riot, and the ghosts to run rampant at night, and the caravans have been sucked into dried corpses.

The second is the ghost town of San'in, which is already like a ghost, and even during the day it is shrouded in a thick mist, and wild beasts and birds dare not approach.

Wang Xuan stared at the map and frowned, "The Xiao family, the Taiyi Sect, the soldiers of the tens of thousands of mansions who disappeared... The purpose of the Bloody Thief is not so simple, but unfortunately there is not enough information to judge. ”

"But you're right, the drought and ghost towns block the trade routes, and if they are not resolved as soon as possible, the goods will not be able to be transported, let alone the food shortage caused by the drought..."

"It's more than that."

Guo Luquan on the side said with a wry smile: "It's okay to say that the ghost town is good, the old man knows a lot about it, and with the impact of the military array, it can be solved quickly, but this drought is troublesome." ”

"It is good at escaping from the soil, avoiding it when it is strong, and attacking it when it is weak, before there was a Taiyi Sect that could be killed through the altar, but now the disciples of the Taiyi Sect and the state have suffered heavy losses... Special, what a vicious method! ”

In the military tent, everyone in the Yongan Military Mansion had heavy faces.

Some people have been in the rivers and lakes, but there is no such temple in the rivers and lakes.

There are people in the court, but how can the court be so crazy and unruly.

Li Xianling, who was listening, was full of helplessness, "Lord Wang, these are handed over to the family law lineage for a headache, there is such a big incident, plus the city god temple Zhu is missing, the people are panicked, rumors are spreading, we must first calm people's hearts." ”

"Master Li is right."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, "Since the blood-clothed thief has been hidden, then the army will be dispatched tomorrow to level the ghost city first!" ”

……

At three o'clock the next day, the sky was faintly bright.

The drums of the barracks rumbled, and the gates were wide open.

This time, in order to ensure safety, the Four Elephants Army Formation was dispatched collectively.

As soon as they left the camp gate, many sergeants were stunned.

I saw that on the official road, the torches lined up in a long line, and the people of Yong'an stood by the road with the old and the young, and every household was silent with water and wine.

Li Siyuan and the county government catcher stood aside.

Wang Xuan rode his horse over, his brows furrowed slightly, "Lord Li, there is no need for this. ”

Li Siyuan said with a solemn face: "Lord Wang, this is the will of the people, this official has not forced it, besides, if the army is not strong, won't I make people laugh at Yong'an!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang."

"It's all my heart..."

"Home-brewed water wine, drink guts!"

The people immediately nodded their heads, and there was a lot of noise.

Wang Xuan inexplicably felt a warm current in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Whole army, dismount!"

With the sound of the clattering of the armor, the sergeants dismounted one after another, and immediately the people brought water and wine, and everyone did not pull a bowl.

Wang Xuan drank it all in one gulp and held the wine bowl high.

Whoa!

Everyone held up the bowls and smashed them to pieces under his leadership.

Throwing bowls is an ancient custom.

"Whole army, get on the horse!"

The sound of the surging of the nails, the rumbling of horses' hooves...

In the military formation, Zhang Heng suddenly raised his spear and shouted:

"Soldiers, the school formation, slash the demons and punish the evil, protect the family and guard the border!"

The hearts of many sergeants stirred and roared:

"Soldiers, the school formation, slash the demons and punish the evil, protect the family and guard the border!"

"Life is not more than 100, nine deaths without regrets!"

"Life is not more than 100, nine deaths without regrets!"

"Gale! Gale! Gale! ”

In the shouting of the sky, Wang Xuan's face was calm and rode his horse, the cold morning breeze blew his sideburns, and the blood-red cloak hunted and flew...
