The Vientiane Sect's control array was in a cave in a valley three miles away.

The cave is deep, and when you walk into it, a breeze blows.

Xu Yuan walked slowly, carrying a large cloth bag in his hand, and his bloodshot eyes looked at everything in the darkness around him.

If there is a convective wind, it means that there is another outlet inside.

As he continued to go deeper, the surface of Xu Yuan's skin soon became goosebumps because of the cold, and a thin layer of ice even formed on the inner walls of the cave along the way because of the cold.

Ran Qingmo will have such an effect every time she does it, which is very in line with the nickname Xu Yuan gave her behind her back.

Walking out hundreds of zhang along the cave road, the vision suddenly opens up.

As far as the eye could see, it was a hollow cavern in the shape of a pyramid, the ground had been flattened, a hole had been opened at the top, and the moonlight poured down, reflecting the cold ice of the ground crystal clear.

A mysterious array is engraved on the ground, and beyond that, there are lifelike ice sculptures.

Looks like the Big Ice Lump has settled everything here.

His eyes fell on her, and Xu Yuan smiled slightly.

Ran Qingmo was standing quietly in the center of the control formation with a sword waiting for him, the moonlight gently shone on the curtain above her head, and the slender and slender curves loomed under the black veil.

Xu Yuan glanced at the other party up and down, smiled and asked in a low voice:

"How's the formation going?"

Voices and footsteps echo in the empty cave.

Ran Qingmo's cold and pleasant voice came from under the curtain:

"There are some low-level cultivators in the formation, and they have all been solved, but."

"But?" Xu Yuan's eyes froze.

Ran Qingmo pursed his lips:

"It seems that this manipulation array requires a soul key to use."

“.”

Xu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he walked forward quickly, poking out his soul for a moment, and his brows gradually furrowed.

With a slight groan, Xu Yuan said in his heart:

"Old Man Luo"

"Don't ask me."

The remnant soul of the saint interrupted: "Old man, I said before, I have been studying exercises in my waking time for the past ten thousand years, and I am not interested in formations or anything. ”

Xu Yuan shook his head and glanced at the cloth bag he was carrying:

"No, I mean this old man should have a soul key, do you have a way to forcibly borrow it?"

The remnant soul of the saint itself is a soul body, and in order to protect himself, he has studied a lot of secret methods that directly act on the soul in ten thousand years.

The remnant of the saint did not answer immediately, as if in thought, but in the end he whispered:

"Nope."

"Plus I don't have any of them?" Xu Yuan asked.

The remnant soul of the saint sighed and said in a low voice:

"Unless you can create the kind of 'illusion' that Yu Chu dragged you into before he died, and brainwash this kid who has cultivated the Alien Ghost Technique."

“.” Xu Yuan was silent.

This kind of thing is simply impossible.

That kind of illusion was created by combining the memories of most of the world's powerhouses, and no one else could reproduce it except for the beginning of the language as a succubus tree spirit.

suddenly

Ran Qingmo's voice came softly from the side:

"Xu Yuan, is Shengshan County hopeless?"

Xu Yuan looked sideways when he heard this, and said:

"Why do you ask?"

Ran Qingmo took down the curtain fence and held it in his hand:

"The closest to here is Yueshan County, and it will take at least more than ten years for the border army to arrive here."

As she spoke, the blade of the sword in her hand clenched slightly:

"And it's unknown if the other counties will be reinforced."

“.”

Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, but he was relieved.

It seems that this big ice lump is indeed not stupid, and actually thinks of things that he failed to think of.

According to the map given to him by Captain Wang, it would only take more than a day to reach the nearest county seat to Shengshan County at the speed of Ran Qingmo and the remnants of the saints, but this distance would take at least ten years for the army.

For more than ten days, can they hold on?

And this is when other counties are willing to immediately pull out their camps to come to the rescue.

Reality is realistic.

Sending troops to rescue Shengshan County is simple, but it is actually about the black hats and even heads of local county officials.

What Xu Yuan said to Captain Wang earlier was the truth.

The number of demon beasts attacking the city on the side of Shengshan County has surged, so the defensive pressure of the surrounding other places will naturally plummet.

But the problem is that officials in other counties don't know about this, or even if they do, they probably won't take the risk.

You know, the last month is the time of the monster tide riot.

With the number of demon beasts encountered in Shengshan County so far, it is useless for the army to come, but if the main force is sent to the rescue

During the time when the army was out, the demon beast suddenly came to attack the city, and his own city was broken, who will bear the blame?

The people of Shengshan County are the people, and the people of other counties are not the people?

On the issue of this division of responsibilities, as long as an official with a little political literacy has a little political literacy, he will not make a rash decision in his head.

After all, it's a head-off thing.

There is a high probability that the final result will be reported layer by layer.

Xu Yuan didn't have an exact understanding of the efficiency of the officials at all levels of the Great Yan Dynasty today, but he knew that once this kind of thing was delayed for a few days, then Shengshan County would really be hopeless.

In silence,

Looking at him who was silent, Ran Qingmo's eyes were a little low:

"It would be nice if my cultivation could be a little higher"

Xu Yuan raised his eyes, looked into her eyes, and said in a low voice:

"You really want to save Shengshan County?"

Ran Qingmo subconsciously whispered:

"The master said that cultivators should punish the evil."

"I'm asking yourself, not your master." Xu Yuan interrupted Ran Qingmo.

Ran Qingmo pursed her lips and nodded:

"I want to save, do you have a way?"

Looking at the complexity in her eyes, which had always been cold, Xu Yuan took a deep breath:

"It's difficult, you're right, other counties may not immediately send troops to rescue, they will definitely report this matter first, from county to county, then to Fu and Zhou, and even finally to the court in the imperial capital to get the result, with the current situation in Shengshan County, it will definitely not be able to delay.

"Still."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan stared at her and smiled, raised a hand and lightly tapped his cheek.

Ran Qingmo's eyes were puzzled.

Xu Yuan grinned:

"Kiss me, I'll help you."

“.”

Ran Qingmo's eyes took half a step back vigilantly, and the sword in his hand rose slightly:

"How can you help?"

Xu Yuan spread his hands and said in a low voice:

"Don't forget, my father is the prime minister of the court, I can contact him directly and ask him to give direct orders from the court."

Ran Qingmo was slightly silent after listening carefully, and asked in a low voice:

"Oh well, what do you mean by kissing you?"

Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Just kiss me."

Before the words fell, the sword came first.

"Huh!"

The cold light passed,

Xu Yuan looked at the appearance of a strand of long hair on his sideburns falling silently, the corners of his eyes jumped, and while raising his hand, he quietly retreated:

"Not really, right?"

Ran Qingmo took the sword and stepped forward step by step, his eyes were gloomy:

"Master said that this kind of thing can only be done by couples, if someone outside wants to do this kind of thing to me, it is a disciple, but he will be beheaded directly."

Xu Yuan continued to retreat and said quickly:

"Just kidding, Mr. Ran, don't take it seriously."

"Ran Qingmo." Ran Qingmo's eyes were very serious, and his footsteps did not stop.

Xu Yuan coughed lightly:

"Cough, okay, Ran Qingmo, you stand there first and don't come here."

The appearance of the other party approaching with a sword made him dream back to the deep mountain Buddha Hall.

Ran Qingmo was silent for a while when he heard this, and suddenly asked:

"But if I don't go over, how can I kiss you?"

“.”

There was a sudden silence in the cave.

Ban Yu,

He said:

"Then why did you behead me just now?"

She thought about it seriously and replied:

I couldn't help it."

Quiet counting,

Xu Yuan smiled dumbly and waved his hand:

"I was joking, even if you don't agree, I'll do it."

Ran Qingmo stared at his cheek without blinking:

"Isn't that a kiss?"

Xu Yuan shrugged:

"Naturally, I personally don't like to be tough on people in this area."

“.”

After being quiet for a while, Ran Qingmo stared at him for a few breaths, and his beautiful eyes slowly drooped:

“.. Oh well. ”

“.”

Xu Yuan stepped forward and rubbed her head casually.

Ran Qingmo looked up in a stressful manner, his gaze was cold, and the hilt of his sword was clenched.

silent eye contact,

The corners of Xu Yuan's mouth twitched:

"It can't be what your master said again, right?"

Her voice was indifferent:

"Nope."

Words fall,

The big ice mound jumped and jumped out of the cave directly from the opening on the top of the cave, leaving Xu Yuan alone in the same place thoughtfully.

The direction in which Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo were advancing was not a nearby border county, but a bazaar called Huanglongji.

This is the decision Xu Yuan made after studying the map.

Now they don't need to ask for help, they just need to find a communication wafer and ask Xu Yuan to inform his father.

On the military map provided by Captain Wang, Huanglongji is very large, and the proximity to three official roads and a canal has created a prosperous place.

In a bazaar of this size, there is a high probability that there will be communication source crystals.

And more importantly, Huanglongji is the closest in a straight line to Shengshan County.

With the two of them rushing at full speed, it will only take about a day.

And if there was no Huanglongji and no communication wafers, Xu Yuan and the others could also set off from there to the nearby border city of Zishan County, and in terms of time, it would only be about half a day slower than going directly to the nearest county seat.

The day flies by,

There was no moon tonight, and the wilderness was pitch black, but it also made the lights on the skyline stand out.

Xu Yuan looked at the Huanglongji on the horizon, and his eyes were full of tiredness.

Ran Qingmo can not sleep, but he can't.

If this Huanglongji does not have a communication wafer, then there is a high probability that Xu Yuan will still not be able to sleep in the next day.

I didn't sleep for two days and two nights, and I didn't know if I would die suddenly.

Just as he was thinking about it, a cold voice sounded in his ears:

"Xu Yuan."

Xu Yuan ran the Blood Yuan Heart Trick to beat his spirit, and replied:

"What's wrong?"

"When you arrive at Huanglongji, do you want to find an inn to rest."

His voice was still cold, but this was the first thing Ran Qingmo said to him along the way.

Obviously, the big ice cube was angry because of the previous joke.

However, hearing these words of concern, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"No, although I'm tired, I can still hold up the exercises."

"Oh." Ran Qingmo stopped talking.

In the silence, the distance of more than ten miles passed quickly, and the lights on the sky line became clearer and clearer.

Looking down from the sky, the Huanglongji below is almost like a city without walls.

The streets are lined with houses, the streets are illuminated with bright stripes, pedestrians are bustling, and the canals are lit up with boats, which are even more prosperous at night than in some county towns.

Maybe if there is no war in the future, in another ten years, the Great Yan Mansion will build a city of considerable scale here.

The entrance to the south gate of Huanglongji is brightly lit, the traffic is busy, and the caravan is a noisy scene.

Suddenly, two figures descended from the sky.

As soon as they landed, the two immediately attracted the surprised eyes of many people.

The two of them have been in the dust, obviously traveling for a long time, and walking in the air for a long time is at least a symbol of the four grades of cultivation.

It is still very rare for a strong person of this level to be in the market next to this situation.

Ignoring these people's chatter, Xu Yuan took Ran Qingmo and walked straight towards the Huanglong Market, there is a high probability that there must be communication wafers in a market of this size.

He just wanted to get things done now and find an inn to rest.

Huanglongji, West Gate Entrance.

As the convoy drove towards the outside of the bazaar, a horse-drawn carriage engraved with a black dragon caught the eye.

The convoy passed, and pedestrians avoided it.

Soon, the convoy drove along the market road unhindered and onto the wide official road outside.

In the crisp sound of horses' hooves, the convoy gradually moved away, leaving only the words of a group of merchants in Huanglong.

After traveling more than ten miles, the surrounding area gradually became desolate, and the caravans on the official road gradually became scarce.

Zhou Ziqing rode the Yanhoof horse and slowly slowed down, marching side by side with the coiled dragon carriage in the middle of the convoy.

A breath of silence,

The curtain of the coiled dragon carriage was pulled open from the inside, revealing a gentle face that was as soft as water.

Xu Xinyao smiled slightly:

"Ziqing, what's wrong?"

Zhou Ziqing's face was apologetic, and he clenched his fists slightly:

"Xin Yao, I'm sorry, my junior sister and junior brother are having sex and playing, and they have been delayed for a day."

Xu Xinyao shook her head lightly when she heard this, and her voice was soft:

"How can this matter be regarded as a delay, we were originally going out to practice, and when we arrived in a place, we naturally wanted to see the local customs."

After a pause, Xu Xinyao glanced sideways at a pair of young men and women riding horses behind him, and laughed in a low voice:

"And after going to Shengshan County, Zhonghua is leaving, what kind of feelings does Luo Xi's girl have for Brother Zhonghua, Ziqing, you don't know. It would be good to let them stay for one more day, after all, they don't know when they will see each other again. ”

Zhou Ziqing heard that there were 10,000 beautiful eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked an ambiguous arc:

"Also, it is estimated that there are only about five days left to go to Shengshan County, and it is estimated that the girl from Luo Xi will go to find Zhonghua after returning to the mountain gate."

The voice did not fall,

Zhou Ziqing looked up at the pitch-black sky behind him.

Sensing a breath, Zhou Ziqing directly pulled out the thin sword behind his back, and said in a low voice with a serious face:

"Xin Yao, someone is coming, you start the carriage formation first."

Xu Xinyao saw Ziqing's face, and her eyes flickered slightly:

"Is it strong?"

"Look at the breath and speed, there should be two great grandmasters, coming at us!"

After that, Zhou Ziqing's exercises began to operate.

The next moment,

"Hum—"

There was a buzz, dust was lifted on the official road, and two figures landed in front of the convoy from the sky, blocking the way.

Zhou Ziqing glanced back at Li Zhonghua in the rear, nodded to each other, and at the same time flew forward and landed in front of the convoy, looking at the dust with solemn eyes.

Before the smoke and dust dissipated, a slightly chilly warm male voice came first:

"Xu Xinyao, get out of here."

Carven passed
