As night fell, Yong'an City was lit up.

Near the Jinyu Building on Cross Street, there was a faint sound of babbling, blowing, playing and singing.

With the development of the Xuanzhu mine, merchants come and go frequently, and the nature of running the rivers and lakes is also indispensable, which makes this simple town a little more impetuous.

"Be alert, don't miss the dark alleys!"

After Zhao Cheng, the head catcher, assigned the task of patrolling the night tonight, he led people to the city wall, and complained to his subordinates as he walked: "In this world, the public food is not delicious, and there is no leisure all day." ”

"Alas, it's the same, they all went to the government army."

"That's it, I heard that there are not enough people to recruit this year's watchman in Fucheng, which makes several seniors of the public gate tremble..."

A few people chatted and went up to the city wall.

Yong'an defense is in charge of the county government on weekdays, but if there is an emergency, the ironclad army led by Liu Shun will enter the city, after all, it still needs to be trained.

That's the case with Dayan.

Because of the Sheji Temple, the fields are nourished by Lingqi, and it is easy to harvest a bumper harvest, and the extra population will naturally flock to all walks of life, and it will be difficult to survive.

Nowadays, the military government is vigorously developing, but there is a shortage of population, all industries are grabbing people, prices are also disordered, and the people are complaining.

Under the general trend, no one can escape.

As soon as Zhao Cheng, the head catcher, led the people to inspect the east side, he heard the soldiers guarding the city pointing ahead and exclaiming: "Zhao Tou, look!" ”

Zhao Cheng took a look intently, only to see that the military camp in the distance suddenly opened wide, and hundreds of war horses roared out and disappeared into the night.

"The government army is dispatched, is something happening?"

"I haven't seen anyone deliver a message..."

Several officials whispered.

Zhao Cheng was startled, and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense about tonight's affairs, and tell the brothers to pay attention to strangers during this time." ”

The officials looked at each other, "Yes, Zhao Tou!" ”

Zhao Cheng frowned and looked at the southwest mountain range, which was dark in the night.

He knew the inside story of the relocation of Tumen Village.

Are you ready to do it?

……

The night breeze blows and the horses' hooves rumble.

Wang Xuance was in the center and said in a deep voice: "Mo Yunxiao, lead the spies to set off first, if the demon trace is found in Tumen Village, clean it up immediately!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Elder Yang, the army is angry, appease the good woodmen."

"Yes, sir!"

Following his command, more than ten horsemen instantly accelerated and headed towards the southwest.

In the night sky, Xiaobai fluttered his wings and followed silently.

In the wilderness, the army rumbled forward in the darkness.

In the fifth year of Xianqing, Lixia, the Yong'an Mansion Army officially set out to attack the southwest mountains.

……

Half an hour later, the formation slowed down.

Wang Xuan raised his eyes and saw that the mountains not far away were winding and undulating, the huge bright moon was hanging high, and it was black like a desolate beast.

A village below the hill was dimly lit and silent.

Wang Xuan stretched out his hand, and the military formation suddenly stopped, and the war horses shook their heads and snorted, and the sergeants were silent, their eyes sharp under the tiger helmet.

"Wow!"

Under the horse, Ah Fu shook his ears and roared a few times.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, "Sure enough, there is something..."

Yong'an is surrounded by mountains, narrow in the east and south, and connected with the mountains in the north in the southwest, which is vast and vast, and is the key target of the government army to open up wasteland.

With all kinds of clues before, Wang Xuan judged that there was a demon nest in the southwest mountains, but for some reason he was unwilling to alarm humans, and sent a little demon to peep.

Everything was as he expected, but it was not a good sign.

A moment later, a cluster of firelight swirled in the village.

"Let's go!"

Wang Xuan gave an order, and the army continued to move forward.

After a while, a huge earthen wall appeared in front of me, with ruins and broken walls, overgrown with wild grass, and only a ten-meter-high stone gatehouse remained.

This was once a military camp in the Great Wei Dynasty, although it was destroyed in the war, but the Qi hole was not broken, so the world was changed to a village, and it is also the origin of the name of Tumen Village.

As soon as the troops entered the village, Mo Yunxiao came in armor and said in a deep voice: "My lord, sure enough, there are demons and evil secretly watching, and the others have been killed, and the subordinates have left a living mouth." ”

Wang Xuan's eyes froze, "Take me to see." ”

The Soushan army was well-trained on weekdays, and they scattered to occupy various key roads when they dismounted, and he followed Mo Yunxiao to the front of the village land temple.

Two sergeants lit torches, and a shaggy figure lay on the ground.

Wang Xuan looked at it, but it was a slender dog badger, with knotted muscles in his arms, vaguely humanoid, bound by iron chains and struggling frantically, constantly baring his fangs and roaring.

It's a demon who cultivates the way of life......

Wang Xuan's eyes were cold: "Can you speak human words?" ”

Badger Demon: "Whew... Roar! ”

Wang Xuan was a little disappointed: "It seems that the horizontal bone has not been refined yet." ”

Badger Demon: "Whew... Roar! ”

Wang Xuan waved his hand: "Kill and feed the dog!" ”

Badger Demon: "Wait! ”

In an instant, a pair of cold eyes stared at it.

The dog badger demon suddenly exploded, and his eyes were full of fear.

The cultivation of monsters is far more difficult than that of the human race, and it is even more life-saving.

Wang Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and said in a deep voice with cold eyes: "Tell me about your demon nest and spare your life, this official will never..."

As he was talking, Wang Xuan's heart suddenly cooled and turned around suddenly.

In the distance, above the dark mountain forest, there was a faint long howl, like the cry of an evil ghost in the mountain, and then there was the sound of drums.

The wolverine on the ground suddenly struggled with fear, and then its body swelled suddenly.

Wang Xuan's pupils shrank, "Retreat!" ”

At the sound of the order, the sergeants dispersed in an instant.

Burst!

The wolverine was like a balloon bursting, and the flesh and blood were splashed everywhere, and it didn't even have time to scream, and the ground was a mess, crawling with wriggling insects.

Old man Yang gasped: "Demon Gu technique!" ”

Seeing that Wang Xuan was puzzled, he hurriedly explained: "My lord, the old man once heard the master say that the human race has changed dynasties for thousands of years, and many inheritances have been lost, and they have been learned by the old demon in the mountains, and the combination with his own demon art is even more strange. ”

"If you guess correctly, the demon king should use Gu magic to control his subordinates."

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the mountain, he could feel that there was a gaze there that disappeared quickly, Xiaobai didn't find it, it should have been a retreat.

Gu magic, escape method... It seems that this demon nest is not simple!

"Your Excellency."

Mo Yunxiao stepped forward and said, "I am derelict in my duties, and I am willing to accept the punishment!" ”

He was a little annoyed in his heart, and he also hated his carelessness, but he didn't expect that there would be a monster that could use magic to monitor from a distance.

Wang Xuan shook his head, "It's not your fault, we have paid enough attention to it, but the monster is more cautious." ”

Mo Yunxiao looked around, "My lord, are we still sneaking in to investigate?" ”

This coupon, in order to find out the details of the southwest mountains first, did not expect to leak his whereabouts.

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's okay, since that's the case, then they can have a good time." ”

"Send the message, let the others come and meet!"

"Yes, sir!"

After Mo Yunxiao received the order, he immediately released the eagle falcon to report the news.

After a while, the gate of the Yong'an military camp opened again, and thousands of war horses rumbled and shook the night sky.

This time, the government army did not hide it anymore, the military flag was unfurled, and the birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests were scattered.

An hour later, the village was brightly lit, full of people, and horses neighing.

Inside the Land Temple, dozens of people gathered in front of the map.

This operation is not only a matter of the Yong'an Mansion Army, but also Guo Shouqing of the City God's Temple came to help with more than a dozen Taoist children, as well as the worship camp and auxiliary soldiers, a total of more than 5,000 people.

"According to the information provided by Yamanaka Muke..."

Wang Xuan pointed to a few circles on the map, "There are evil cults gathering in these places, but now they have been discovered by monsters, and they can't be explored in depth alone." ”

Guo Shouqing nodded and said: "Lord Wang did the right thing, the poor road has also broken the demon nest, the mountains and forests are lurking, the monsters are even better, and several masters over there in Dian Prefecture have fallen into the plot." ”

Guo Luquan knocked the cigarette pouch pot and frowned, "There are four places on the map, this is only within the scope of the wooden guest's activities, what if we rush in and are besieged by a group?" ”

"Then steady!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth, "We don't know the details of the demons, how do they know the hole cards of the government army?" ”

"The demons and evil in the mountains are scattered and scattered, fighting each other, if a force appears, on a par with other forces, do you think they will be lively, or will they gather in one place?"

Mo Huaixian's eyes lit up next to him, and he smiled: "The soldiers are treacherous, and the virtual and the real are combined." Do adults want to hide their strength and gradually encroach? ”

"That's right."

Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "If the evil is strong, we will retreat safely, if the strength is not good, we will pretend to be a miserable victory, although the military formation is formed, but it must also be tempered, this southwest group of evil, is the whetstone!" ”
