Chapter 100: Suspicion
Ying Tianfu.
Before dawn, the city of Nanjing suddenly became foggy, and under the shroud of thick fog, the already dim night spirit lanterns on the side of the road became even dimmer.
While most of the people in the city were still asleep, there were already pedestrians on the streets.
People who appear on the streets at this time can be roughly divided into three categories.
Most of them are street vendors who get up early and are greedy for darkness, a few are officials in Beijing who are in a hurry to make the pilgrimage, and the rest are merchants from all walks of life who are in a hurry to leave the city.
Due to the limited visibility in the dense fog, the city is not suitable for horseback riding, so most people travel on foot.
On Hongwu Street, a middle-aged man led a horse and hurried towards the entrance of the city.
A quarter of an hour later, the middle-aged man walked to the end of the street, and the magnificent city gate gradually came into view.
Glancing at the long line of people leaving the city, he pulled off the reins of his horse and walked to the guards in front of the doorway.
"Stop!"
Seeing the middle-aged man coming, a guard raised his hand and shouted to stop, scolding him. "Blind? What line to insert? Go to the back of the line! ”
The middle-aged man was unmoved, and his eyes skimmed to the officer guarding the back.
Seeing this, the officer stepped forward, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he immediately showed a smirk. "Mr. An? What are you? ”
Manager An pointed to the city gate that had not yet been opened, and said in a harmonious voice: "There is something in this house, and the fifth master of my family has been inspecting Zhuangzi outside the city during this time. I don't know which Zhuangzi the fifth master inspected, so I'm thinking about going out of the city early, so I might as well look for them one by one, right? ”
"That's right!" The officer smiled when he heard this, sent for the husband, and asked, "What time is it?" ”
The husband who came down from the city tower clasped his fists and said: "It is already seven quarters of the hour, and another moment is the time to open the city gate." ”
The officer waved away the guard, beckoned to the head of An, and said in a low voice: "Come with me, go out of the city from the small gate." ”
A moment later, Chief Ann followed the officer to the small door for the post guards to enter and exit urgently.
He secretly stuffed a bag of copper coins for the officer, and then turned and went out of the city.
……
The sky is slightly bright.
In a large farm outside the city, smoke gradually rises from the farmer's house.
As the steward of this farm, An Dehai got up early, and after a simple wash, he went out leisurely.
He looked at the courtyard of his master's house, and was about to step forward to greet him, when he saw Zhuangnai riding straight to this side.
In an instant, the horse stopped in front of An Dehai, and a middle-aged man jumped off the horse.
He hurriedly asked An Dehai: "Second brother, can Your Highness get up?" ”
An Dehai was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "But what happened?" ”
The middle-aged man was the manager of An who came out of the city, and when he saw An Dehai asking, he suddenly showed a bitter look, "That thing is messed up!" ”
"Go and bow to Your Highness!"
An Dehai's face changed, and he pulled Manager An and walked towards the compound.
……
Inside the main hall of the courtyard.
On the throne sat a plainly dressed, but noble young man.
He looked down at the letter in his hand seriously, but his brow became more and more furrowed.
After reading the contents of the letter, he was stunned, "Failed?" ”
Chief Manager An lowered his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Highness! This matter is all due to inaccurate information, who would have expected that there would be eleven Nine Rank Realms around him. ”
Zhu Hu slowly raised his head, looked at Mr. An, and snorted coldly, "Hmph!" It seems that our Commander Mao has a different heart, and Ye Yu's information is provided by him. ”
Manager An didn't dare to answer, and muttered for a moment, "Your Highness, do you need to inform Hu Xiang about this matter?" ”
Zhu Hu shook his head, "No! This is to help the fourth brother, and it doesn't hurt us whether it succeeds or not. ”
An Dehai on the side wanted to speak and stopped, looked at the eldest brother beside him, and plucked up the courage to say: "Your Highness, does that person's interference mean that the spiritual sect ......?"
"You don't have to worry about this, this king will ask the Spirit Sect for an explanation." Zhu Huan had a gloomy face, got up and walked out of the hall, and ordered the little guy waiting outside the hall, "Prepare the horse quickly, this king is going back to the city." ”
——————
Wild on the Western Xinjiang Plateau.
After the girl in white and the fourth master left, the group of spirits who ambushed Ye Yu suddenly looked solemn.
They knew very well in their hearts that forcibly killing Ye Yu was already an impossible task.
Especially when the Spirit Breaker Crossbowmen are disrupted by the five Shadow Killing Formations, lose their high-level combat assistance, and have no long-range support, then they will face a dead end next.
"Ahh
Seeing another eight-rank realm companion being killed by Ye Yu, the remaining five spirit warriors couldn't hold back any longer, and fled towards the depths of the dense forest one after another.
Ye Yu shook off the blood on the spirit knife vigorously, and had no intention of chasing them.
Walked up to the Nine Rank Realm Spirit Priest who had been seriously injured by him before, and pressed the spirit knife against his chest.
He grinned, "Hehe, it looks like you're abandoned!" ”
The Nine Rank Realm Spirit Warrior's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth to endure the panic in his heart.
No one is not afraid of death, especially the spiritual priests who have great powers, and they have a deep fear of death.
“……”
Seeing that he meant to speak, Ye Yu accepted the spirit knife and said with a smile: "You don't have to die, with the physique of a spirit warrior, you can recover after a few days." ”
"You...... What do you want to know? ”
"Haha, you're smart and should know what I want to know!"
"I ......" the Nine Rank Realm Spirit Priest spit out a word, and his words suddenly stopped.
At this time, his eyes bulged violently, his face boiled with terror, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
"Yes...... Yan...... Yan ......"
At this time, the man's voice stopped abruptly, the pupils in his eyes slowly dilated, black blood overflowed from his mouth, and his body was weak and he couldn't breathe.
"Grass, speak clearly! Swallow what? Seeing this, Ye Yu squatted down suddenly, grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously.
After a while, Ye Yu slowly let go of his hand, knowing that he was dead, and a haze appeared in his eyes.
can be equipped with a soul-breaking crossbow, and can mobilize ten high-quality spirits, it can be imagined that the mastermind behind the scenes is very powerful.
With the Yan character confided in the spirit before he died, Ye Yu was suddenly shocked in his heart.
Yan!
Could it be that the spiritual priest is talking about Zhu Di, the king of Yan?
Ye Yu pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find a reason why Zhu Di wanted to kill him.
He shook his head, got up and looked at the second battlefield, and saw that Ma Laifu and the others were still chasing and killing that group of ordinary people.
He hurriedly blew a whistle and stopped them loudly, "Don't chase after the poor, escorting grain and grass is the most important!" ”
Hearing Ye Yu's shouting, Ma Laifu stopped, waved his hand to the other five people, turned around and ran towards Ye Yu.
After a while, Ma Laifu came to Ye Yu and stood still, and said solemnly, "Master! In this battle, 30 crossbowmen and more than 50 swordmen were annihilated. ”
He paused, his expression darkened, and he said in a low voice, "We died in battle...... Five killed! ”
Ye Yu had a gloomy face, looked at the grain cart, and said in a cold tone, "If it is confirmed that it was the person who instigated it, no matter what his identity is, I will take revenge!" ”
When Ma Laifu and the other shadows heard this, a trace of emotion flashed in their eyes.
As long as Ye Yu has an order in the future, even if the mastermind behind the scenes is the Spirit Clan, they will rush forward without hesitation.
