The night is like ink, and the full moon hangs high.

Huanglongji is located at the confluence of the Wanxing Mountains, the Guanyin Mountains and the Qianliu River.

It used to be just one of the most ordinary post stations along the official road, but the geographical advantage has made it develop from a remote post station to a lonely commercial market in the wilderness for thousands of years.

Countless caravans and entertainment shops are lined up to make it a city that never sleeps without walls.

In the hustle and bustle of the lights and wine is not affected by the night, the green buildings are hooked, the casino is flowered, and countless business travelers are sinking here.

suddenly

The group drove into the convoy from the east gate of the bazaar, and immediately attracted the attention of pedestrians passing by the street.

The black dragon on the body of fragrant phosphorus sandalwood was lifelike, and several disciples of the sect who were like demon horses walked in front of the carriage, walking with swords, and the horses were angry in fresh clothes.

If someone on the street dares to use their minds to probe the cultivation of the young heroes in this line, they can find that the cultivation of these people is all above the fifth grade.

Walking at the front of the team, a man and a woman are cultivators who are even as high as the third-grade grand masters, the men are dressed in plain clothes, long hair shawls, and the women are in carved power suits, with enchanting figures.

The two swept over the crowd around them, and as far as their eyes could see, their eyes retreated.

Look around,

Walking at the front of the convoy on horseback, the plain-clothed man smiled softly:

"This Huanglongji is still so lively, but it hasn't changed much."

When the woman on the side heard this, she replied coldly:

"It's only been March since we left for Jingjiang Fucheng, so naturally there won't be much change."

The plain-clothed man smiled when he heard this:

"This is also true, although I ran for nothing, but fortunately, Xin Yao's third brother didn't have an accident, but unfortunately I couldn't see him."

When the man in plain clothes heard the man in plain clothes talk about Xin Yao's third brother, there was a thick disdain in the woman's eyes:

"What is visible about a gentleman who only knows how to eat and drink?"

The plain-clothed man smiled when he heard this, very freely:

"It's just a rumor, it's too superficial to judge a person by rumors, if I see it with my own eyes, I will make my own judgment."

As he spoke, the plain-clothed man seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Ziqing, I remember that you spent some time in the imperial capital, and you saw Xin Yao, the third brother, at that time?"

Ziqing shook her head gently, and her long silky hair fluttered gently:

"There's nothing to say, just met from afar, with that group of so-called "four young people in Beijing" swaggering through the market and doing some things to bully men and women, there is nothing to say, and Xin Yao is really the gap between heaven and earth. ”

"Ziqing. My third brother is also a poor man. ”

Suddenly, a soft female voice came from the black dragon carriage behind the two.

“.”

When the two of them heard this, they unconsciously slowed down.

The curtain of the black dragon carriage was removed from inside, and a young woman appeared in the field of view of the two.

Dressed in aqua blue clothes, lightly embroidered peach blossoms, elegant style, tall and slender, with a green silk hair pulled into a high beauty bun, the collar is slightly open, revealing a beautiful curved white and slender neck, a blue dress is lined with skin like snow, and the lips habitually have a hint of smile.

At a glance, a feeling of gentleness like water, like a spring breeze arises spontaneously in the bottom of my heart.

Zhou Ziqing shook his head lightly and didn't speak again, but he didn't retract his evaluation of Xu Changtian just now.

Seeing this, the plain-clothed man on the side grinned directly and said:

"Sandwiched between Xu Changge, Xu Chang'an and Xin Yao, don't say that Xu Changtian is an ordinary person who can't practice, if it were me, I would feel very pitiful."

Xu Xinyao's eyes were a little gloomy:

"Zhonghua is right, but I heard from the people in the Jingjiang Mansion that my third brother seems to have gained some opportunities and changed a lot."

Saying,

The girl's beautiful eyes were bent, with some strange light in her eyes:

"This time, he actually took the initiative to tell his eldest brother that he wanted to go out for training."

Li Zhonghua chuckled and shook his head:

"It's just a pity that I can't see Xinyao and your third brother when I go down the mountain this time."

Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes flickered slightly:

"Zhonghua, are you going back to Yaoyue Mountain?"

Li Zhonghua smiled:

"Well, the division sent me news a few days ago, it's time to go back."

Xu Xinyao was slightly silent, and her eyes flickered slightly as Qiushui's eyes stared at the man:

"It's been really hard for you all the way."

Li Zhonghua laughed dumbly when he heard this, shook his head, and drove the horse in a leisurely tone, and his words were very direct:

"It's a downhill experience, but I never thought that I could meet a strange woman like Miss Xinyao, but it's a pity that I can't continue to walk the world with you."

Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes blinked:

"Zhonghua laughed, what kind of strange woman is Xin Yao."

Li Zhonghua's tone brought a hint of seriousness, and said:

"Xin Yao, I, Li Zhonghua, have spent most of my life in the mountain gate, and I have always wanted to fight the sword world, punish the evil and eliminate the evil, and help the good, but after going down the mountain, I found that I can't hoe the evil in this world at all, and the good can't help, killing a demon can save ten people, but there are too many demons in this world.

"And after getting acquainted with Xin Yao, it has only been a year along the way, and there are millions of people who have survived by Xin Yao's rescue? It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and this kind of credit is not a strange woman, and who can call it? ”

"Tsk, it's really numb, Li Zhonghua."

Zhou Ziqing on the side glanced at Li Zhonghua, his eyes were a little funny: "I like us Xin Yao so much, why don't you let your master go to Xiangguo Mansion to propose marriage?" ”

"I do."

Li Zhonghua was also free and easy when he heard this, but he just smiled and shook his head:

"But I know I'm not worthy of Xin Yao, so I'm still not bored."

"It's Xin Yao who is not worthy of you, Brother Zhonghua."

Xu Xinyao in the carriage shook her head gently: "If it weren't for Zhonghua and Ziqing's protection, Xinyao might have died many times along the way." ”

Zhou Ziqing's beautiful eyes bent slightly, and said with a smile:

"Since I am grateful, then Xin Yao will do Dongbei tonight, just to send a few people to Li Zhonghua, I don't know when we will meet again."

"Tsk"

Li Zhonghua smacked his lips, his words were dissatisfied, and he was about to knock Zhou Ziqing's horse ass with the scabbard:

"Zhou Ziqing, why do I feel like you're urging me to leave quickly? Although the master urged me to go back, at least I could finish this trip to Shengshan County. ”

Zhou Ziqing took the sword away, glared at him and ignored him, and turned to Xu Xinyao and asked:

"By the way, Xin Yao, why do you keep insisting on going back to Shengshan County to have a look, recently the spring tide in the Wanxing Mountains has started again, and there are more and more demon beasts in this area."

Xu Xinyao was slightly silent when she heard this, and said softly:

"Because of the matter of the third brother, the phantom array has not been built, so I left first, and I have to go back to see if the formation is perfect."

Zhou Ziqing was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said in a low voice:

"Didn't we activate the Great Array to verify the power of the Phantom Mist Great Array before we left?"

Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes curved slightly, and she said in a low voice:

"That activation of the big array was just a verification of the power, and many of the processes at the core of the formation have not been completely implemented, so it's best to go back and have a look."

Li Zhonghua's words are still simple and direct:

"Xin Yao, are you worried that the Vientiane Sect will do something after you leave?"

"Hmm."

"Why?"

“.”

Xu Xinyao was slightly silent, and through the night, she looked in the direction of Shengshan County:

"Things are going so well in Shengshan County.

"Although there are a lot of things to be gained by establishing the Vientiane Sect in the formation, they promised too simply, and I always feel that they are hiding something."

Shengshan County,

Outside the Phantom Mist Array, under the attraction of the beast luring incense, all kinds of demon beasts from afar converged along the black pitch mountain forest in the direction of Shengshan County.

Within the Phantom Mist Array, the bloody slaughter continued.

The military formation formed by the Shengshan border army outside the city was like a flesh and blood grinding plate, and wave after wave of monster beasts with hideous mouths rushed out of the mist, and wave after wave were crushed into a pile of corpses by the military formation.

The corpses of all kinds of demon beasts have piled up into a hill outside the city, but unfortunately, the number of demon beasts gushing out of the fog outlet still shows no signs of decreasing.

The Phantom Mist Array set up by Xu Xinyao is a trapped array.

This is a powerful trap formation that can be seen by the naked eye, and it can trap all the tens of thousands of demon beasts that will attack in the array.

But again, it's just a trap.

The formation itself could not effectively kill the demon beasts, so it could only be diverted out in batches, and finally handed over to the Shengshan border army to do it himself.

And it has been three hours since the Shengshan border army went out of the city to slaughter demon beasts.

The Vientiane Sect was still boiling frogs in warm water and methodically throwing demon beasts into the array, and the Shengshan Border Army had formed a military formation, and some people had already begun to lose their physical strength.

At this rate, the first casualty will soon appear tonight, and once there are casualties, it will be just the beginning.

In the silence of the bleak,

Captain Wang stared at the inky fog in the distance, and his voice was very soft:

"Gongzi Zhou, if I break out, will the Vientiane Sect let go of the people in this array?"

Captain Wang accepted reality very quickly, and he was also quick to make changes.

The breakout of the Shengshan border army means that if the Vientiane Sect continues to slaughter the city, then what they have done will be known to the outside world.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement, but in the end he shook his head gently:

"No, it won't."

"Why?" Captain Wang raised his eyes sharply and stared at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan paused word by word: "There is no evidence." ”

Humans and monsters will breed yin qi after death, but they will not immediately produce ghost mist.

It's a relatively long process.

As long as the Vientiane Sect is not stupid, there is a high probability that they will only use their hands and feet on the Phantom Mist Great Array and the City Defense Great Array now, and they will not be in a hurry to engrave other formations that restrict the ghost mist.

Because as long as people are dead, they have plenty of time and energy to do these things during the time when the corpses breed ghost fog.

In other words,

At this time, even if the people of Shengshan County die, it is because of a problem with the formation.

As for highlighting the encirclement to proclaim the world?

Ah sir, our Vientiane Sect contributed funds and efforts to build a big array for you, and your Shengshan County border army escaped instead of defending the city for fear of death, and bit us back?

Say that we cultivate ghost fog, then the evidence comes.

Do we have a formation to nourish yin qi in Shengshan County?

In the swaying of the firelight,

The knife-like wrinkles on Captain Wang's face seemed to be deeper, and his voice was low and a little hoarse:

"But we do."

He pointed to the fog that obscured the sky, and his fingers trembled slightly:

"This Illusory Mist Great Array was built by the Vientiane Sect, but something went wrong at this time, no matter how you say it, they can't escape the blame!"

The sound echoed softly, and there was silence on the city wall for a moment,

Xu Yuan shook his head and said in a low tone:

"Captain Wang, it's useless."

"All the way I have traveled, whether it is a merchant pawn or a disciple of the sect, I think that the builder of this Phantom Mist Great Array is the fourth lady of Xiangguo Mansion, not the Vientiane Sect, and the Vientiane Sect is only responsible for providing materials and silver."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan paused:

"Moreover, you said earlier that Xu Xinyao left before the end of the big array project, but it is rumored that Xu Xinyao left after accepting the big array to take effect, which has confirmed that this formation was created by her."

Captain Wang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:

"That time the Great Array was activated because it was necessary to verify the efficacy of the Phantom Array Mist, not for acceptance."

"But none of you denied it before." Xu Yuandao.

Captain Wang's voice trembled a little: "Miss Xu has done so many things for my Shengshan County, with this good reputation, how can I deny it in the Shengshan Border Army?" ”

"So it's all the same."

Xu Yuan looked at the Phantom Mist Array: "There is no way to investigate this kind of thing. ”

Captain Wang's voice suppressed anger:

"You mean that Miss Xu's identity has instead become the protection of this group of bitches raised by the Vientiane Sect?!"

Xu Yuan was silent for a while and nodded:

"As it stands, it is.

Even if Xu Xinyao is willing to testify afterwards, in the eyes of the outside world, this is just for her own reputation.

"And,

"The identity of the fourth lady of Xiangguofu will greatly affect the judgment of the person who is investigating the court, after all, her adoptive father is the prime minister of the court."

"If the preparations of the Vientiane Sect are more complete, even if the Shengshan border army can break out of the encirclement, there is a high probability that they will be put on a hat of escaping, and what you say will become a lie made up in order to get rid of the crime."

Captain Wang's voice seemed to be much older, pointing to the inside and outside of the city:

"So that means that these 400,000 people will definitely die?"

Xu Yuan looked at Captain Wang, took a deep breath and whispered:

"There's a way, but the chances are slim."

"What's the solution?" Captain Wang immediately asked, and a rare flash of hope flashed in his eyes again.

"Today's formation technology can't achieve long-distance control."

Xu Yuan's voice was not in a hurry: "That is to say, if the Vientiane Sect wants to control the Phantom Mist Array, it will inevitably set up a control array near Shengshan County, you form a formation to help me and my senior sister break a hole, we will go out and find out and kill people, and use that formation to control the Phantom Array." ”

Captain Wang hesitated slightly when he heard this:

"Will there be a strong man waiting there in the Vientiane Sect?"

Xu Yuan nodded:

"There will definitely be strong people, but the strength will definitely not be too strong, at most it will be a third-grade grand master."

"Why?" Captain Wang frowned.

Xu Yuan quickly and smoothly analyzed: "The overall strength of the Vientiane Sect is very strong, but it is not strong enough to be able to silently cultivate the second grade of the origin, their first grade and the second grade of the origin are basically famous, if these people make a move, once they leave traces, it is equivalent to confirming the fact that the Vientiane Sect wants to slaughter the city, and it is impossible for the Vientiane Sect to take this risk." ”

“.”

The voice fell, and the air was quiet for a moment,

Without the slightest hesitation, the burly border soldier knelt directly on the ground with his legs bent.

“.”

Xu Yuan frowned, and was about to help him up, but the other party knelt very hard, and he couldn't help him with his cultivation.

Captain Wang clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Xu Yuan:

"Shengshan County, thank you for the great kindness of Gongzi Zhou."

Xu Yuan frowned and said in a low voice:

"Captain Wang, I can't guarantee that I will be able to find out that control formation.

"And,

"This does not condemn the Vientiane Sect."

Captain Wang shook his head and grinned:

"Zhou Gongzi, at least now these 400,000 people have a chance to survive."

Today is a temporary double change, and tomorrow will make up for yesterday's
