Two days ago.

After the Cloud Tree Demon army pressed the border, the whole city of Qingjiang was under martial law, and only the guards with armor often came and went on the streets.

When the martial law war drums came, Bai Bei'er and Li Wei happened to be in Mr.'s hut looking up the books on beast language, and then simply stayed there.

During this period, Bai Yougui went back with a hurried expression, he looked at the classics and scriptures scattered on the ground in the study, and the white bottle was being cleaned up, so he asked what had happened here.

When Li Wei heard this, he immediately came up with the nameless set: Senior brother, senior brother, look at this, look at this.

Bai Yougui touched the cover but didn't dare to read the contents of the book, and asked: What's wrong?

Li Wei picked up a page and said: This book is strange, this chapter was originally "Chronicle of the Domestication of the Southern Giant Whale", I don't know how it suddenly became "Yunmengze Thirteen Enlightenments", what is wrong with Senior Brother?

Bai Yougui's face turned blue after hearing Li Wei's words, but he still couldn't help but read the content of the book.

The "Chronicle of the Domestication of the Giant Whale in the Southern Underworld" is not familiar with Bai Yougui, but this "Yunmengze Thirteen Enlightenments" is the swordsmanship used by the senior sister back then, which is more than 100 times more clever than the "Commentary on the Maitreya Sutra with a Knife" passed down by the same Mr., and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique in the world. Bai Yougui was itching in his heart, but he kept in mind that Mr. had explained that the nameless collection was only passed on for fate, and it was never good to watch it privately.

Mr. has never made meaningless threats, he refuses to show himself that his strength must not be at the right time, and he is like the stupid Li Wei in front of him, who entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed.

He turned his head and looked out the window away from the nameless set, and he said, "Xiao Wei, the nameless set is Mr.'s codex, which records all the deeds on the path of his cultivation. Mr. cultivation is immeasurable, how can a small piece of paper carry so much content, all of which have three thousand small changes and three hundred big changes on every page. He called it nameless, not because it didn't have content and names, but because there were so many things involved that there was no need to force a name. You're waiting, maybe after a while it'll change back again.

How did Li Wei understand the huge temptation behind the few words "Mr.'s life deeds", but when he heard his senior brother say that it might change back to its original appearance, he kept the nameless collection all the time.

Bai Yougui remembered the purpose of going home, and said to Li Wei: I brought a carriage from Fengchang Mansion, with enough food and drink, and I also put a lot of money, and the coachman is familiar with the road, if you hear the golden gong sounding at the head of the city, you will go to the city to Mocheng, understand?

Bai Bei'er looked embarrassed and asked tentatively: Lord Fengchang, what happened in the city.

Bai Yougui sighed and said: This time it is not the white horse that came, but the cloud tree demon array, the personal guard of the demon clan's holy beast purple sparrow, if she intends to attack, no matter how strong Qingjiang City is, I am afraid it will not be able to keep it. Madame must remember that a rash breakthrough will only make it more dangerous, and do not leave the city until you have to.

The name of the purple finch is known to everyone in the world.

Bai Bei'er heard the solemnity in Bai Yougui's words, put his arm around Xiao Wei's shoulders and said, "I wrote it down."

Bai Yougui said: Originally, this house was the safest place in the world, but this time I don't know what will happen in the end, Mrs. cherishes it.

After saying that, Bai Yougui wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't help but explain to Li Wei: Xiao Wei, remember, no matter what, keep the nameless collection.

He didn't linger anymore and ran all the way to the big tent at the head of the city.

In the big tent, steady as Ma Kuo also completely lost sleep last night, he couldn't figure out the intention of the cloud tree demon to come to Qingjiang, and what was even more worrying was that the demon array did not move like a stubborn stone, and did not show any clues;

The only thing that matched his expectations was that they didn't attack the city, maybe they were fake tigers for tiger bones. But this battle also had to make him miss Ma Qing outside the city.

"Big brother, you must bless Qing'er in the spirit of heaven for a safe return. ”

But the restless prayer was exchanged for the military news he feared.

The ranger kneeling under the tent announced: The cloud tree demon has not moved, and the fire fox has ignited the outer edge of the milk tiger forest.

After listening to the military report, Ma Kuo took Ma Rulong and Bai Yougui to look at the railing, even if it was sixty miles away, the smoke of the flames was already very obvious. Ma Kuo's face was like ashes and there was no countermeasure, he turned his head to look at Ma Rulong, and asked: Where is Inspector Han's criminal officer?

Ma Rulong said in a low voice: The criminal superintendent is in the mansion. The night before, the old man of the Han family secretly joined five hundred elite soldiers and went out of the city. Ma Rulong guided the party from afar, and then said: Now it is probably in that sea of fire.

Ma Kuo asked again: How is the sixth child?

Ma Rulong said: I really didn't have a good temper to beat him for fifty boards, and I was too sensitive to lock him up these days.

Ma Kuo waved his hand and said: Let him make trouble, you can go and let it go later. The Han brothers depend on each other for their lives and have a very strong relationship, and now that the old man is in danger, he must have no intention of planning. In this way, the time is not yet ripe, so the plan should be postponed, and we will make a decision when Qing'er returns.

Ma Qing went out of the city, although it was forced by the situation, but it was indeed instructed by Ma Rulong, even if he still believed that Ma Qing would be fine with the protection of the silver. But everything is just afraid of a case, Ma Rulong couldn't help but imagine that if he really killed the young master of the Ma clan with a resolution, then the Wang family, Ma Kuo and even Ma Lao Liu would not spare him. In fact, Ma Qing was indeed trying his best to parry the attack of the pseudo-tiger, and he died for life.

As soon as he thought of this, a thin layer of sweat couldn't help but appear on Ma Rulong's face.

Bai Yougui on the other side said: Lord Guard, be relieved, it's useless to think too much, now the defense of Qingjiang City is the top priority, and you and I can just wait and see what happens.

When Ma Kuo visited Fengchang's mansion at night, he and Bai Yougui had a distant move, and felt more and more that this fat man was unfathomable, and he trusted his opinion more and more, and said: Just like what Lord Fengchang said.

It stands to reason that these people are deliberating, and Criminal Officer Han will definitely not be absent.

But as Ma Kuo said, after he heard Han Laoqi sneaking out of the city, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, he was angry and scolded for a while, and worried for a while, and it was difficult to think carefully about the situation in front of him. He didn't even want to participate in the military account discussions, if it weren't for Ma Kuo's broad-mindedness, he would have been suspected by Shangguan whether he had already fallen into battle.

Ma Kuo does not doubt him, but it does not mean that others are not mindful. Ma Rulong's perception of Han Governor's punishment immediately changed from an ally to a force that needed to be vigilant, and privately sent people to monitor Han's actions. But on the other hand, Ma Rulong also began to secretly complain about himself. After all, it was his own idea to recruit five hundred elite soldiers, but the execution was so sloppy that he didn't even find out that Han Laoqi was on the list.

Ma Laoliu's troublesome temperament led to the accumulation of a large number of affairs, Ma Rulong was so busy that he didn't even have time to look at the list before he set out for the expedition, but asked Ma Kuo to sign the military order on his behalf. Correspondingly, Ma Kuo was also busy and dizzy, otherwise according to his meticulous personality, how could he not even filter out such a conspicuous name.

Like a domino, the cause was just two innocuous small mistakes, which turned the great help of Han Duxing's punishment into a loss and a loss. Ma Rulong didn't dare to complain about the second brother, he could only hate himself for being unfavorable, and it was inevitable that he always felt that everything was not going well recently.

Just when a few people were talking, a middle-aged man went up to the city, he stiffly made a gesture to Ma Kuo, and asked in a loud voice: Lord Guard, five hundred elite soldiers fell into the hands of the enemy, I don't know what to do with the adult.

said that he was asking, but the tone was not good.

Ma Kuo did not lack this self-cultivation, and calmly responded: It turned out that it was Li Songqing, the head of the Li family, who came to serve tea.

Ma Kuo replied kindly, but he hid a knife in his smile, and insinuated that Li Songqing had no official position, how could he discuss the big account, and he was even less qualified to discuss things with a town.

After his sentence of "coming", the guards immediately grabbed a lonely teacup like a bowling ball. The lid of the cup did not fit the body of the cup very tightly, and the tea also spilled from the rim of the cup, which looked extremely embarrassing. And the city is not a place to drink tea, there are no seats at all.

Li Songqing pushed away the hand of the guard, and this time he was even exempted from saluting, and said bluntly: My lord dislikes me for being humble, and there is nothing worth teaching;

Li Songqing's words already had a threatening meaning, and Ma Rulong was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Ma Kuo. Ma Kuo said: Sending the green hero is unrivaled in Qingjiang City, and his status is respected, where does the humble saying come from. It's just that this military secret, I really can't comment on it.

Li Songqing is not an indecisive and uninformed person, and he immediately knew that Ma Kuo would not reveal half a word today no matter what, so he turned around and left without hesitation.

Bai Yougui looked at his back, thinking that Ma Kuo seemed to be calm now, but in fact, he was already in a mess, otherwise how could he be so easily angry.

"Eh, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, even if the Ma clan intends to retreat and strike the army, if the crux of the problem outside the city is not cured, infighting is still unavoidable. ”
