On the seventh day, the escort convoy of the Ten Thousand Blades Gold Branch entered Guangming City. Guangming City is a medium-sized city, with a population of about 500,000, although it cannot be compared with the population of three or four million in the four main cities of Zijin, Platinum, Gold, and Wujin, but among the more than 20 second-level cities, the scale is also relatively high.

Xinhao has four major cities, more than 20 small and medium-sized cities, plus towns and villages, with a population of more than 30 million. Thanks to the peace of the world for more than 20 years, there was almost no war between Xinhao, Yunze, and Tianchuan, and the population increased dramatically.

There is only one main city in Guangming City, and there is no sub-city, but there are small guard towers in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and there are 500 guards in each cantonment. The walls of the main city are not as tall as the golden city, the city gate is much smaller, and the moat is very narrow, no more than two or three zhang wide.

As soon as the Ten Thousand Blades convoy approached the city defense area, Luo Yongcheng got the news. At this time, he was discussing with his subordinates in the city guard mansion, and there were several confidant generals and officials gathered around him, including his son Luo Yeming.

Luo Yeming said fiercely: "Father! The Ten Thousand Blades convoy has entered the city, and the Sun clan has taken the initiative to send them to the door, let's find an opportunity to keep them in the city forever! I will entertain that little craftsman well, the day before yesterday, Yamauchi dared to threaten to kill me, this time I will see how he comes to kill me. ”

Luo Yongcheng glanced at Luo Yeming, ignored him, and looked at a middle-aged man in his forties beside him. This person has a white face and a long beard, a medium and slightly chubby body, and wears a Wenshi robe, so he should be a strategist. At this time, he was pinching his beard and thinking, and when he saw the city guard, he sat up straight and said, "I don't think it's okay to do this." Wanjian is a large commercial building in China, and the Sun family is a famous family. To be friendly with the royal family, but also very important to the emperor, this time a large number of court orders were handed over to them, which of course has the credit of the second prince, but also shows that the Sun family's position in the emperor's heart is very important. ”

"And Sun Chongyuan is transporting imperial weapons to the imperial capital this time, if the son of the patriarch of the Sun clan has an accident in Guangming City, even if we can clear the relationship and put the responsibility on the head of the Spirit Dao Gate, the adults will also bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty, at least the crime of failing to defend the city. Also, Lord Castle Keeper, what do you think the emperor will think of you? ”

Luo Yongcheng was stunned, if Sun Chongyuan had an accident in Guangming City, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was absolutely inseparable from the defense of Guangming City, at least in the eyes of the emperor, he Luo Yongcheng was a mediocre official who did not know the general situation. The emperor is shrewd and capable, although he is old, but his cultivation is at the top, even if he is ninety years old, he is still energetic, and he controls all the big and small affairs in the country. Even if he knew that there would be some actions between the princes in private to fight for the right to inherit the throne, as long as the princes did not make a big fuss, he could turn a blind eye. But if any courtier dares to jump out and openly deal with his other courtiers, the emperor will definitely strangle the person who came out of the way, so as to warn the princes that it's okay to make a small fuss, but don't go to the stage, this country is still in charge of him!

Thinking of this, Luo Yongcheng broke out in a cold sweat. He believed that if Sun Chongyuan died in Guangming City, the emperor would use him to warn the four princes. Although he is on the side of the four princes, it is better not to risk his life to provoke the emperor's prestige. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, no matter how much benefit the four princes promise themselves, they must not gamble their lives.

For the ten thousand blade caravans in the city, not only can they not move, but they must also protect them, at least they must not have any damage in their own jurisdiction. I will immediately send someone to warn those people in the Spirit Sword Gate, and if you want to blame them, you can only blame them for their incompetence, and the attack in the Moon Mountain failed. Otherwise, if Sun Chongyuan had an accident in the area close to the Golden City, he would only be blamed on the Golden City Lord. And the Golden City Lord Yao Wensheng is a royal blood relative, what can the Sun clan do with him.

Luo Yongcheng nodded and smiled at the middle-aged strategist: "Staff Officer Wei is right. Of course, I won't make a move against Sun Chongyuan in Guangming City. He glared at Luo Yeming again and said, "You are also not a small boss, you must use your brain before doing things." Although you are a disciple of Xi Zuping, you are also the son of my Luo Yongcheng. The Spirit Dao Sect is a mountain gang, not a minister of the imperial court, they can act arbitrarily, but we can't, don't just take things on yourself. ”

He turned his head to the general on his left and said, "Vice General Wang, you will visit Xi Zuping with Ye Ming later, and tell him what I mean." In my City of Light, they must obey the rules. In addition, you have to keep an eye on Xi Zuping's junior brother Wan Guoshi, his only son Wan Shaojie died a few days ago. He's in a rage, and he needs to prevent him from losing his mind and attacking the Ten Thousand Blades in reckless recklessness. ”

..............

Because the world is peaceful, the population has surged, and the total population of the three countries is about to reach hundreds of millions. With the increase in population, the demand for all walks of life is also increasing, and the commercial atmosphere is strong, so Wanjian has shops in major cities and towns. The same is true for other industries, and powerful large commercial buildings have opened shops all over the country. The appliance industry is the lifeblood of Xinhao, but it is also the most competitive industry, and there are many people whose scale is not under the blade, such as the Zhuo family's four-sea commercial building, which is not inferior to the blade. Sihai is not like Wanjian only specializing in one industry, in addition to the instrument industry, there are also several industries, and they are all very big.

Now Wanjian has also begun to set foot in fields other than the ware industry, and their sudden rise in the weaving industry has made Sihai feel a huge threat. There are so many resources, and when Wan Jian comes in to get a piece of the pie, the four seas will eat less. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and battles caused by competition happen all the time.

The Ten Thousand Blades convoy entered the Ten Thousand Blades' private residence. Sun Chongyuan arranged the residence and meals of a group of knight guards, except for the guards who stayed behind, everyone else went to rest, and they traveled for many days, most of the meals and dew on the road, and they were all tired.

Sun Chongyuan told everyone not to go out alone, and those who want to go out need to ask for instructions and travel together. After all, this is Luo Yongcheng's territory, and his son is a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, and he also participated in the attack in the Moon Mountain, so he has to guard against it.

Although Sun Chongyuan believed that Luo Yongcheng would not dare to make a move against Wan Jian in the bright light, he also needed to prevent him from sending people to trouble his subordinates and create trouble. What's more, the people of the Spirit Sword Sect may also be in the Bright City, so it is necessary to restrain the knights under them.

After explaining, Sun Xiuyun glanced at Bai Shan and Ou Keren who was standing behind him, and followed his father back to the main house. Bai Shan and Ou Keren left with a sense of humor and returned to their small mansion. Ou Keren is now following Bai Shan closely, and after he takes off the light armor on his body, he will help Bai Shan take off his armor.

Bai Shan waved his hand and said, "I'll come by myself, you go and rest." Don't go out, who knows if there will be disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect and the remnants of the Four Seas Commercial Building in the city, so as not to be recognized. ”

Ou Keren nodded, "Keren can save it!" I wear a mask when I go out, and I go out at night to check if there are any fire guards who have left secret marks. Bai Shan had no choice but to nod and did not insist.

Removing the armor on his chest, Bai Shan sat in a chair with a tired face. It's been a few days, I don't know what happened to Brother Su? He was stunned for a moment and muttered: "I hope that nothing will happen to Brother Su, otherwise, just like Brother Su's oath when he left, I will let the Spirit Daomen Chicken Dog not stay and remove him from the world!" ”

Sun Xiuyun entered Sun Chongyuan's room and said, "I'm worried that the Spirit Sword Gate has arrived first, are they thinking about how to deal with us?" However, as long as Luo Yongcheng doesn't dare to make a move, we don't have to worry too much about the remnants of the Spirit Sword Gate, they are limited in number, if they dare to come, we can just avenge the sneak attack on Moon Mountain. ”

Sun Chongyuan also thought so, nodded and said: "I know Luo Yongcheng a little bit about this person, he is not a brave and resourceless person. He may be overwhelmed by the Four Princes, but he will not blindly follow the orders of the Four Princes. He knew the consequences of moving our ten thousand blades in Guangming City, and he would not dare to take this risk, and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince would not dare to openly attack our Sun clan. ”

The two talked about this battle of the moon, saying that if there was that Wanguo Shi at that time, the consequences might be even more terrible, and they also wondered why Wanguoshi was not there? Naturally, they didn't know that Wan Guoshi had come to Guangming City in advance to move troops. Sun Xiuyun was afraid for a while when he remembered it afterwards, but fortunately they had alloy weapons and exerted huge combat power, otherwise the battle would be even more difficult, and even if they won, it would be a miserable victory. These treasures all appeared because of Su You, and I couldn't help but worry about Su You, who had no news, if something happened to Su You, he would definitely feel uneasy.

Fighting side by side with Bai Shan made her have a lot of good feelings for him, but she found that he became more and more mysterious, and there was an inexplicable follower by her side. She said angrily to her father: "What is the relationship between Ou Keren and Bai Shan, and how do the two meet?" Bai Shan is obviously from Baiyun Town, how can there be anyone he knows in the Golden City? That Ou Keren looks feminine, and he does follow Baishan like a servant, and the two live together, looking really awkward. What secrets do they have, Bai Shan is hiding from us. ”

Sun Chongyuan glanced at his daughter strangely, I don't know where her resentment came from? As for their relationship, Sun Chongyuan is also curious. I thought that Su You and Bai Shan were just two ordinary boys, but they kept surprising themselves. He wasn't too worried that the two of them would be harmful to Ten Thousand Blades, and he thought he wouldn't be mistaken, so he didn't dwell on their secrets. When necessary, they will naturally speak. It was his daughter's dissatisfaction with Bai Shan from time to time, which made him a little puzzled.

Sun Xiuyun couldn't say the reason, but he was very uncomfortable when he saw the feminine and delicate Ou Keren bowing his head to Bai Shan. At this time, she found the confusion in her father's eyes, and she busied herself and diverted the topic.

......

At the same time, in a set of inconspicuous courtyards in the city. Xi Zuping, the brothers of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Scholars, and a group of disciples of the two gathered in the inner hall. The men led by Xi Zuping entered Guangming City two hours earlier than the Ten Thousand Blades Caravan, and as soon as they received the news of the arrival of the Ten Thousand Blades Caravan, the two gathered their disciples to discuss together.

Wan Guoshi couldn't help but complained again: "If it weren't for Senior Brother asking me to bring Ye Ming's handwritten letter to Guangming City a few days in advance to borrow someone from Luo Cheng, I wouldn't necessarily lose that battle with me." Maybe we've taken down Sun Chongyuan's father and daughter, and Jie'er's Yuan Soul Mark won't die. As a result, Luo Yongcheng was greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of being implicated, and did not dare to send people. Now Sun Chongyuan is alive and well, but Shaojie is dead, and the five brothers Yunlong and Yunfeng are also missing. ”

Xi Zuping was irritable for a while, and after his sneak attack failed, Zhuo Wuxing returned to the Golden City with the remaining Sihai guards of less than 100 people. He and the remaining disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect tried to go into the forest to find Yunlong and a few people, so he was delayed for some time and arrived in Guangming City two hours ago. In the past two hours, he has been listening to Wan Guoshi's nagging, if he hadn't known that Wan Shaojie's soul seal had been shattered, he would have drunk Wan Senior Brother.

Xi Zuping also knew that he was too cautious, and blamed Zhuo Wuxing for hesitating and not giving a positive answer, so he asked his junior brother to come to Luo Yongcheng to borrow troops. He also miscalculated the strength of the Ten Thousand Blades team, thinking that at least Sun Tianze would go along, otherwise there would be a mid-stage master of Ten Thousand Senior Brothers, and the chances of winning would indeed increase greatly, and now he naturally would not admit that it was his miscalculation.

Thinking that Wan Shaojie may have died, Yunlong and the other three junior disciples have also lost contact, and they have not come back until now, and the gloom in his heart is even stronger. But he never believed that Su You and that strange wolf could deal with five disciples, and Yunlong must have some other reason for delay.

Wan Guoshi suddenly shouted: "This time, we must kill Sun Chongyuan's father and daughter, as well as that Baishan...... and that Zhao Guang, in short, everyone in Wanjian wants to pay for Jie'er's life. Speaking of the back, he was already hysterical.

When Xi Zuping was worried that his junior brother would make a mistake, a disciple knocked on the door and came in to say: General Wang and Senior Brother Luo asked to see him. Seeing the expression of his disciple Luo Yeming, Xi Zuping had a bad premonition. Sure enough, General Wang directly conveyed Luo Chengshou's explanation that the Spirit Dao Gate was not allowed to take action against the Ten Thousand Blades Caravan in the jurisdiction of Guangming City, and even the city guard would send city guards to escort them for a while.

Xi Zuping's heart sank when he heard this, and before he could speak, Wan Guoshi roared angrily: "Luo Chengshou is so afraid of the Sun clan, then he doesn't need to send people, our Spirit Dao Sect will attack and kill Sun Chongyuan by ourselves, it's always okay, right?" ”

Seeing that General Wang's face became gloomy, Xi Zuping's heart moved, and he understood the reason why Luo Yongcheng didn't dare to make a move, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that it was impossible to deal with ten thousand blades. Without Luo Yongcheng's support, how could the manpower of the Spirit Sword Gate be the opponent of the Ten Thousand Blades team? He teamed up with Sihai to attack the Ten Thousand Blades Caravan to attack the opponent, but more importantly, to capture the white wolf and kill Su You, now that they are not here, why continue to risk dealing with Ten Thousand Blades?

Now that he understands that Luo Yongcheng has the intention of retreating, Xi Zuping knows that this matter is no longer possible, and it is best to leave the city immediately to find Yunlong and them. Thinking of this, he interrupted Wan Guoshi and said: "I understand what Luo Chengshou meant, let's leave immediately tomorrow morning and return to the mountain gate, General Wang will not send him off!" ”

General Wang's face was slightly pale, and he nodded, "Then the general will go back to his life and take his leave!" When passing by Xi Zuping's side, Luo Yeming said in a low voice: "Master! The apprentice is incompetent, so he retires first. He didn't dare to look at his master, his uncle, and all the brothers, so he bowed his head and followed General Wang away.

Looking at the junior brother who was still angry, Xi Zuping patiently explained: "We missed the opportunity in the Moon Mountain, and now if Sun Chongyuan has an accident in Guangming City, Luo Yongcheng will not be lucky." So not only will he not help, but he will stop us from doing it, and that's it! We're packing up our gear now and leaving right away to find Brother Yunlong. ”

Wan Guoshi slowly came to his senses. He was silent for a few breaths, and although his face was unwilling, he still nodded and said, "I understand, senior brother!" We're going to get out of town now. Xi Zuping patted him on the shoulder and said: "There will be a chance, we have been with ten thousand blades, and the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late!" ”

After Wan Guoshi calmed down, his thinking returned to flexibility, and said: "Your Highness has been dormant for many years, and now you are finally about to attack, the task assigned to us has indeed failed, and we have to find a way to make up for the damage to Your Highness's plan." The Moon Mountain is so big, and Shaojie's mark has disappeared again, how to find it? Let's go to the imperial capital and ask His Highness for guilt first. ”

Xi Zuping's eyes showed worry, and he sighed: "That's the only way, and then the second child will help intercede." ”

Su You, who was thousands of miles away in the forest of the Moon Mountain Range, chased Xiaobai for two days and one night, except for a small rest for half an hour during meals, and he had been flying in the forest with Xiaobai. After two days of continuous practice, under Xiaobai's example, the wind control technique has begun to take shape. After mastering the essentials, his speed has obviously improved a lot, not only can he jump longer distances, but his posture when sweeping is also smoother, and he is more elegant and handsome.
