Lin Ranshu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and stood quietly beside Zheng Yao. Although the rest of the people were apprehensive, they were still emotionally stable. Ah Yi clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Yao and Sister Lin are together, then it will be foolproof." ”

"yes." "Yes, yes, we can wait for news with peace of mind." "You have to remember to come back quickly, there is nothing to do in this fog, everyone is waiting."

Zheng Yao and Lin Ranshu, who were at the center of the topic, were a little embarrassed, but they didn't deny it. Obviously, the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

Song Yu felt a little funny: "Your Zou Ye's defenders are quite lively? ”

can joke and even coax other people's feelings between men and women in such a desperate situation, Song Yu can't figure out whether they are all soldiers or really have big hearts.

Song Yu's words came out, and everyone quieted down again. Gotcha, it's cold. Song Yu found out, and it was not easy to get in touch with this group of people. He returned to Xie Nanshi's side: "Can you find it on the way back?" ”

Xie Nanshi nodded.

"Then don't delay, let's go." I also know that Zheng Yao and Lin Ranshu followed them back to the Ping'an Division's station, and the rest of them went back to the camp of the 4,000 people to report the news. Although Song Yu and Nanshi were bent on saving people, they didn't intend to make trouble at this time and destroy the balance of trust that had been established with great difficulty on both sides, so they simply didn't pay attention to the movements of the rest of the people.

As soon as Song Yu and Nanshi stood together, Zheng Yao finally recovered from the embarrassment of biting his tongue, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Two of you, please accept it." ”

"Yo, bribe?" Song Yu was joking, and saw Zheng Yao with two strings of blue stone pendants in his hands. Then Song Yu found out that everyone in this team of ten people had such a string.

Lin Ranshu was obviously dissatisfied, but he suppressed it and didn't have a seizure, but his breathing was a little heavy for a moment.

Zheng Yao was so said by Song Yu that he didn't stretch out his hand or shrink his hand, and he reacted for a while before explaining: "This is our Zou Ye's specialty, called Xinghai Stone." In the past, it was mostly used as a sacrificial object. It wasn't until Zou Ye was trapped that we discovered that it had a miraculous effect on the fog. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Yao's eyes darkened a little: "If only we could have known earlier." ”

Song Yu has always been reluctant to come to this kind of prop, not to mention that in terms of dispelling the fog, Song Yu feels that the stone may not be as good as Xie Nanshi, and this is probably more of a tool for Zheng Yao to show goodwill. Because Zheng Yao, the leader, was too honest, Song Yu was a little embarrassed to play tricks on others for a while, so he simply accepted them all and handed them over to Nanshi: "Thank you." ”

Zheng Yao was obviously relieved: "The young city lord is polite. ”

This time, Xie Nanshi discerned the direction, and Xinghai Shi and Xie Nanshi's sword intent offset the effect of the fog, and several people returned to the station in less than half an hour.

At this time, only three of the ten monks who had set off together were recovered. Knowing that the fog was strange and everyone was extremely easy to get separated, Tang Ya was anxious and secretly scolded himself for not being soft-hearted for a while. When Song Yu and the others touched it back, Tang Ya was explaining the defense, obviously planning to go deep into the mist to find the young city lord in person. When I turned my head, I saw that the young city lord came back with the genius sword cultivator named Jian Er, followed by two strangers.

Tang Ya stepped forward in surprise, tears were about to flow out: "Young City Lord, you are finally back!" ”

Zheng Yao and Lin Ranshu, who were following behind Song Yu, both showed complicated eyes, although they had already believed the identity of the person in front of them, they couldn't help but show a trance-like and complicated look when they heard the conclusive name with their own ears.

The young city lord came in person, if what he said was true...... Then the city lord also drove the expedition himself?! Are they Zou Ye saved? Zheng Yao's eyes were red for a moment, and at the same time, he was also a little panicked in his heart, for fear that what he had done before would offend the young city lord and cause him to give up Zou Ye.

Song Yu nodded, his eyes on the three people who followed behind him, and he couldn't see any clues from his expressions, as if they were glad that he, the young city lord, had returned safely.

Song Yu and Xie Nanshi quietly exchanged glances, and took Zheng Yao and the two of them to walk quickly to the room where they stayed yesterday. At the same time, three pieces of fingernail-sized rune paper slipped from Xie Nanshi's cuffs and stuck to the trouser legs of the three with the wind.

"Now you believe it?" After Zheng Yao and Lin Ranshu had confirmed the Tianyong camp on the side of the Ping An Division, Song Yu asked unhurriedly.

Seeing that Zheng Yao was about to kneel down again, Song Yu was annoyed, and hurriedly poured tea for the two of them and put it on the table: "There is no need to be like this, now that Zou Ye is in this situation, it is not too prudent to be cautious." I only hope that the two of them will start with the invasion of Bai Zhao and tell everything that happened here as it is. Sit down and say. ”

Zheng Yao's expression was serious, and he finally sat opposite Song Yu without prevarication.

"Bai Zhao's invasion was half a month ago, and it was still a small group of harassment at the beginning." Zheng Yao recalled what happened during this time, and his fingers couldn't help but clench into fists: "Actually, we have long been used to harassment, after all, there are many mountain bandits who fight the autumn wind on weekdays, but some Baizhao people have been mixed in, so no one thinks there is a problem." At best, I just think that it has become a little more frequent recently, and it has not even stopped the flow of trade. Until I heard that Bai Zhao's young city lord died in Tianyong......"

Zou Ye is not a hinterland city, nor is it a frontier. The lord of Zou Yezhou is also an extremely assertive person, and when he heard the news, he immediately ordered the city to be closed to prevent people from being summoned in vain. However, it was too late for Zou Ye to move, the previous small force was just a trick to divert his attention, Bai Zhaoren had already moved his hands and feet against Zou Ye's big array, and even made Zou Ye condense this strange murderous fog that lasted for a long time. By the time Bai Zhao officially sent troops, he had no power to return to the sky.

"He was originally a lieutenant general in Zou Ye's garrison army, and he also fought against Bai Zhaoren...... Oh, the small troop that plundered the houses before. Zheng Yao clenched his fists, he had been wondering if he had discovered the problem earlier, and would not have come to the end.

Zheng Yao took a deep breath and resumed the previous words: "On the day the news came back, the state lord sent someone to the main city to ask for help, and after that, it was the Bai Zhao army that pressed the border, and we were about to go out of the city to meet the enemy, but when we were about to leave, we found that we were completely trapped in the formation. Under the clouds that covered the sky, tens of thousands of people went crazy on the spot. ”

Song Yu saw that Zheng Yao's eyes were gloomy, obviously caught in the nightmare at that time, he interrupted Zheng Yao's thoughts and directly changed the question: "Tell me about the survivors." ”

Zheng Yao adjusted his mood and calmed down again: "On the first day, the first day of the siege, nearly half of the people died violently, and the fog began to spread in the city. And the Huzhou Formation was damaged in two places due to the eye of the formation, and it could only last for a day or two, and when we were desperate, we found that this Xinghai Stone could isolate the influence of the fog and the formation. ”

Lin Ranshu was reluctant to let Zheng Yao stay in his memories, took his hand, glanced at him with some concern, and then took over the identity of the commentary: "Just when I was desperate, I found that the people in several temples in the city were still safe and sound. These temples are either Buddha or Taoism or some folk beliefs that are not recorded, and the common point is that there are a large number of Xinghai stones in the temple as ritual utensils. That's why we found out that Xinghai Stone still has such a wonderful use. As a result, the survivors in the army began to wear the Xinghai Stone with them in case of accidents. Everyone gathered the Xinghai Stone again to protect the remaining people. ”

Song Yu couldn't help but take out the Xinghai Stone Pendant that Zheng Yao had given him earlier and take another look, it was blue, blue, black and black, not like a gem. The description of the props is also very simple: [Xinghai Stone Pendant] It is said that Xinghai Stone has the ability to communicate with the gods, but no one has really seen it.

Song Yu couldn't see the mystery in it at all, so he decisively threw the question to understand Nanshi: "If Xinghai Stone can restrain the fog, is it also the key to solving the siege of the city." ”

Xie Nanshi pondered for a moment and nodded: "You can try, it takes time." ”

Song Yu turned his head to look at Zheng Yao again: "Have you tried it?" ”

Zheng Yao nodded, and shook his head again: "We tried to take the complete Star Stone to break out of the formation range, but unfortunately we failed, and there is no one alive who understands the formation." ”

"The key is the formation?" Song Yu nodded, "That's okay, you don't have any, we do." Trust me now? Can you take us to your base? ”

"Naturally, thank you young city lord."

Zheng Yao got up and was about to kneel again, but Song Yu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Okay, don't kneel, you kneel every day, and you don't think your knees hurt." ”

"You go out and rest for a while, and then set off as a whole army." Since there is only a place to break the fog dilemma, there is no need to continue to stop here and waste aura.

"Yes!"

……

There are not many people trapped in Zou Ye, and neither the military nor the Ping An Division have any plans to stay here for a long time, and they have experience in traveling long distances. It didn't take long to count the number of people and bring the baggage.

And during this period, three monks who were sent by Tang Ya to find the survivors returned. Four people are still missing.

Song Yu couldn't tell if there were any traitors among these people, so he asked Xie Nanshi to throw three small runes and follow him quietly, and if there was any abnormal movement, he could stop it at any time.

As for the remaining four people who have not yet returned...... Song Yu specially went to a nearby house to find some Xinghai Stones. He placed four of the ornaments on the countertop of the main house, suppressed the message, and waited no longer to leave. If these four people can return safely, they will definitely be able to get the Xinghai Stone, and even if they can't join them, at least they shouldn't be injured by the fog.

Zheng Yao's heart sank to the bottom. He had thought that he would get a lot of help after meeting with Heian Division, but many of the people in front of him were ordinary people. When he learned that the scouts had entered the city, he was even more worried. The state lord has not been able to break the formation by sacrificing his life, what use can these ordinary people come in?

Fortunately, there is a city lord............ Since the city lord is here, there will always be a way!
