The streets and alleys of Yancheng were shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and the imperial guards flocked to the area, lined up neatly, and sealed off the area of Baili Xianlou.

The people of Yancheng looked at this unusual scene and secretly had an ominous premonition. There have been so many big moves in Yancheng lately, so much so that the peaceful atmosphere in people's hearts has been swept away, and replaced by anxiety about the unknown.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world. When the world has been peaceful for a long time, the people may have forgotten the horrors of war, but there are always some people who have witnessed it and will be afraid of the bloody battlefield. They understand that the meat grinder will not be pitied because of your identity, and your personal fate is really not worth mentioning in the face of the general trend of the world.

On the side of the street, a doll in a cute tiger-headed shirt was very excited when she saw the majestic soldiers and horses, pointing with her small and delicate fingers, and babbling up to express her curiosity.

And beside him, an old man hurriedly picked up his grandson, which made the child extremely anxious, and the voice was slightly crying, quick and short.

The old man bent his back, constantly coaxing his grandson not to cry, and looked in horror at the messy footprints left on the snow after the soldier ran by.

"Grandchildren don't cry, grandchildren don't cry." The old man looked at everything in front of him in a daze, "Your father was conscripted into the army, and now I don't know where he is, I'm afraid you won't see your father again in the future." The cruelty of the blade, what do you little baby look forward to? ”

The child still ignored it, and his hand desperately pointed in the direction where the soldiers had left, and his body tried to break free from the old man's arms.

The old man's old face was filled with infinite sorrow, and he let out a heavy sigh, and turned away with his grandson in his arms, leaving the child crying and ignoring it. His back was faintly like a silhouette, gradually disappearing into the streets and alleys.

At this time, Ye Long looked at the magnificent auction hall in front of him with unwillingness, infinitely regretful. The soldiers who poured in like a tide around him made him understand that the plan to annex Baili Xianlou was completely bankrupt.

After thinking about it all the time, it ended up like a dream. Ye Long looked at the soldiers around him resentfully, and secretly compared the strength in his heart, and finally had to admit that even with Lin Shan and his team, he couldn't easily defeat the soldiers of the empire.

If it was placed in the past, with the crooked melons and cracked dates of the Yancheng Guards, he would not have been able to enter Ye Long's eyes at all, but now he was stunned to find that the soldiers of Yancheng have taken on a new look no matter how they judge from what angle, and their overall strength has risen by more than a notch? If the people before were just cannon fodder composed of some hooligans, then these soldiers at this time fully met the standards of large-scale charges, and the bright armor and strict military discipline all brought out the strong smell of blood on their bodies to the fullest.

It was a temperament that had been trained in the sea of corpses and blood, and it was definitely not something that the flowers in the greenhouse could have.

This transformation fell in Ye Long's eyes, causing turbulent waves in his heart. What is the reason why the empire attaches so much importance to this small town?

But no matter what, now that this area has been taken over by the army, they are destined to no longer be able to covet the wealth in the Baili Immortal Tower, so he glanced at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan understood, and immediately waved his hand at the team, and more than 100 people fled into the distance, leaving Ye Long alone to stay in place and wait for Ye Feng.

The Ye family fled from here, and the others were even more bored and dispersed in a hurry, and the speed of the soldiers simply made any general who was good at using soldiers red.

"Patriarch Ye, you're here too." The soldiers were suddenly divided into two shifts, and one person came to meet them.

Ye Long fixed his eyes and saw that this person was the city lord Li Ao.

"City Lord Li, how can this soldier ......?" Ye Long wanted to speak and stopped, originally in his plan, after annexing Baili Xianlou, it would encroach on the unknown of the city lord, and after pulling Li Ao off the horse, he would support the puppet city lord, so that the entire Yan City would be surnamed Ye. It is precisely because he regards Li Ao as a meal on the plate, fish and meat waiting to be slaughtered on the board, so he always holds a condescending posture when facing Li Ao, and he does not dare to react in the slightest way because of the scholar who humiliated him a few days ago, which further fuels his arrogance from the bottom of his heart.

But now, everything is quietly and invisibly changing, do you really have the strength to argue with him? Ye Long had deep suspicions.

"Ah, due to the recent troubles in Yancheng, coupled with the infestation of beast tides, the empire has to send additional troops for the sake of the safety of its people." Li Ao said with a smile, not worrying about what happened in this Baili Immortal Tower.

Ye Long pursed his lips, how could Li Ao's words be worth believing? You must know that ordinary bandits deserve such attention, even if it is a small tide of beasts, it can only be easily eliminated, how can this battle be dispatched?

But since Li Ao didn't say it, he must not want to say it, and he could only ask for it by himself.

Therefore, he could only focus his attention on Ye Feng gloomily. You must know that what Ye Feng represents is not only his life, but also the future of the Ye family. The reason why the Ye family has been able to rise to this day is not because of Ye Feng's existence? If this only reliance is lost, won't those humiliated families rise up? The destruction of the Ye family was predictable.

Therefore, Ye Feng can't die!

"If nothing else, what happened to the people inside? City Lord Li, I also hope that you can enforce the law impartially, and you can't retaliate because of our previous festivals. ”

"Oh? Holidays? What were our previous feasts? How did I not know? Li Ao's eyes always had a playful element in them, which made Ye Long look frightened.

"Scholar...... That thing ......"

"Patriarch Ye is talking about that, I thought it was something. It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning, it's just a scholar, how can it be called a festival? Li Ao waved his hand heroically, which made Ye Long breathe a sigh of relief.

"So the people in here...... Should it be rescued? Ye Feng was kidnapped, you must know that Ye Feng is not only the pride of the Ye family, but also the pride of Yan Cheng, if there is no Ye Feng, how can Yan Cheng be as famous as today? ”

"That's right." Li Ao pretended to think and said, "Since this is the case, then the task of saving Ye Gongzi is unshirkable!" In the next order, the order will be given. ”

Ye Long's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Come on, make way for Patriarch Ye, and let Patriarch Ye personally go to the rescue!"

The order was forbidden, only two clicks were heard, and the well-trained soldiers quickly gave way to a road.

Looking at this straight passage leading to the gate of the auction hall, Ye Long's mouth was full of bitterness. If you have this strength, why should you be kicked out by others? I thought Li Ao was helping himself, but he didn't expect to embarrass himself!

"What's wrong? Why is Patriarch Ye stagnant? Letting you in and out of the place where the crime occurred is already a great blessing, and you won't be unappreciative. ”

"How...... How could it be. At this time, Ye Long was worried, and he didn't care about any dignity at all. Dignity is based on strength, not emotion. Without Ye Feng, the Ye family would be reduced to the Infernal Hell!

"Then why don't you go? I've opened the door widely, aren't you kidding me if you don't go? ”

Ye Long was very hesitant when he heard this, and just as he was about to enter the auction hall in his heart, he saw a figure staggering at the door of the auction hall.

It's Ye Feng!

Ye Long's eyes were as bright as morning stars, and he hurriedly rushed forward.

……

Although he didn't know why Li Ao just surrounded the Baili Immortal Tower, and didn't see any other actions on it, and even let those who participated in the auction flee in all directions, Ye Long still naturally found a reasonable explanation for Li Ao's behavior in his heart. In his opinion, the reason why Li Ao is like this is either because the oxen ploughing the fields and the donkeys rolling and cultivating are too terrifying, and he clearly understands that even if he attacks in groups, it will only be in vain, or Li Ao's temperament is too lazy, and he doesn't even bother to take care of such a big thing.

However, fortunately, he did not investigate his intention to occupy the Baili Xianlou industry, and did not even investigate the dead Baili Xianlou guards, which was tantamount to opening the door to their Ye family to a certain extent.

Ye Long stood in front of the beautifully carved window lattice and looked at the heavy snow, his heart full of depression.

Sighing softly, his gaze moved to Ye Feng next to him.

Since Ye Feng came back from the auction house on the day he fought, he had fallen into some kind of strange realm.

The aura around him flickered hot and cold, and the strong fluctuation that originated from his soul made Ye Long shocked.

Ye Long didn't know whether this phenomenon was good or bad, so he didn't dare to make inferences, so he could only guard Ye Feng's side at all times in order to observe his condition in time.

Touching Ye Feng's forehead, he felt that the cold and biting cold air climbed up from his fingertips, but when he was about to take it away, the cold air suddenly changed, and the extreme heat was as hot as a furnace, if he placed the retort on it, he could even brew wine.

With such a double heaven of ice and fire, who can stand it? What surprised Ye Long was that the condition around Ye Feng's body had not only become fragile due to this pull, but on the contrary, the incomparably strong power had been born through repeated tempering.

What adventures did he get? What happened in the auction that day?

All this is like a mystery, and it can only be revealed when Ye Feng wakes up.

It's just that time is running out from the covenant of life and death...... The coronation ceremony before the martial arts conference, Ye Long had already planned well, and even sent invitations to all forces, and the response was excellent, and the major families responded one after another, after all, no one wanted to have a stiff relationship with the Ye family because of this.

That Lu Xuan's life is already in the countdown.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Long's mouth sneered.

Where is Lu Xuan at this time? If this question is asked to the Ye family, then they will say without thinking: "It must be imprisoned in the Ye family." ”

But is that really the case?
