The sky was clear and the morning fog had not cleared.

More than 200 monks under Shen Ning's command all gathered outside Weicheng City.

The lineup was neat, the cultivators in green clothes and the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in white clothes stood in two columns, in the case of a group of people following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the north, the last group of cultivators in the Shenjing City had been assembled here, and Emperor Jing handed over such an important force to him, it can be said that the responsibility borne by him was extremely heavy.

It was precisely because of the heavy responsibility that Shen Ning did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Sima Xiangru, who came to see him off, and the new Weicheng Taishou, looked at this elite army and were amazed!

Of course, they also understand the current situation in Henan Province, and know that this army is an important force that determines the direction of the situation in Henan Province, so when facing Shen Ning, there is a little more respect in their eyes:

"On the front line of this trip, you cherish it!"

As the new champion of Weicheng Taishou, a large jar of spirits was brought up, and Shen Ning and them personally poured spirits for everyone!

Standing in front of everyone, Shen Ning, as the commander-in-chief, of course wanted to say some inspiring words at this moment, and immediately raised his wine glass, looked at everyone present, and his voice was calm and powerful:

"Listen quietly, the Great Jin Dynasty has been a thousand years, countless ancestors for the people of the world, in the dark to explore, for us to find a way to break the situation, today Henan Province has fallen into a crisis, we are deeply favored by the emperor, therefore, rather here swear not to break the gourd mountain, swear not to return to Beijing! I am willing to use this body to sing for the right path of the world! ”

Shen Ning's words were sonorous and powerful, and they were extremely infectious, and all the people present were moved when they heard it, and all the cultivators immediately repeated in a loud voice:

"We are willing to use this body to sing for the righteousness of the world!"

"I am willing to use this body to sing for the righteousness of the world!"

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

The majestic voice resounded in the sky, and the solemn atmosphere infected everyone, they knew that this march was likely to pay the price of their lives, but the value of life was for the people of the world.

It is also the root cause of Dajin's ability to rise up and resist in such a predicament!

"Gentlemen, drink this wine with me, and be strong for it!"

Shen Ning raised the wine glass and drank it all, the rest of the people's eyes were red, and Shen Ning drank the liquor in one fell swoop, and then threw the bowl on the ground in unison, that crisp sound, like their determination to make this trip, everyone has a common understanding, that is, the world of Dajin must not die!

Shen Ning mounted a horse and wanted to lead all the cultivators to the front line, but at this moment, a call came from inside Weicheng City:

"Immortal, wait a minute, I'll see you off in the future!"

Shen Ning looked back, and the scene behind him made him look moved.

I saw the people of Weicheng gathering outside the city in twos and threes, holding all kinds of food in their hands, chickens, ducks and fish!

In the troubled times, their lives are not rich, and these things are likely to be the most valuable items in their family, but at this time, they are taken out of the city, what they want, it goes without saying!

Seeing this scene, the new champion stood in front of the old man who was walking in front, and asked softly: "Uncle, what are you doing?" ”

The old man didn't say anything, but knelt down in front of the three armies with a "poof", and said with tears in his eyes: "Officials, we want to send these young offspring!" If it weren't for them, we Weicheng people wouldn't know how many lives would be left, these beasts, don't treat us as human beings, kill us if you want, do whatever you want, old man, my son hasn't even married, he was bitten to death by a flying skull that night! “

As he spoke, the old man's voice became hoarse, and his expression was even more painful: "I just want these young men to be able to eat and drink enough, and to be able to have a few demons on the front line, so as to seek justice for our dead." ”

"Lord Taishou, let's see us off."

The people behind the old man also had sorrow in their hearts, and at this time, they were all pulled out by the old man's words, and even the disciples of the Tsing Yi Division and the Heavenly Master's Mansion were infected by this emotion.

The new Weicheng Taishou looked embarrassed, of course he was willing to let the people see him off, but this matter was managed by Shen Ning, he was naturally not good at acting on his behalf, and making this embarrassment was just for Shen Ning and the people of Weicheng to see, but out of sincerity, he still looked at Shen Ning, and said with a slight request: "Brother Shen, look at this ......" ”

Shen Ning rode a horse in front of everyone, his figure looked extremely majestic in the sun, in such a situation, of course he would not refuse the request of the people of Weicheng, it was just a waste of some time, but there was no substitute for the overall momentum improvement, in such an atmosphere, their combat effectiveness on the front line would be improved because of this!

"Lord Taishou, let them pass....

After getting Shen Ning's approval, the people of Weicheng walked towards the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Tsing Yi Division with gratitude, and took the best food from each family.

"Good boy, try the cooking cakes made by the eldest mother, the eldest mother knows that you are from the north, and you are not used to the taste of our side, so you specially learned from Liu Jieba in the west of the city, come and taste it....."

In front of the old lady was a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, who had lost his parents since he was a child, why had he been so concerned by others, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up and said: "Auntie, I have received your wishes, but we have military orders, we can't use all the people's things, I can't eat them, it's cold.... Go back. ”

Scenes like this are happening here, and Sima Xiangru couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "This is the real situation between the military and the people, if Your Majesty could see this scene in front of him in person, how good it would be." ”

Shen Ning's expression was also moved, he stepped down from the horse, and said in a loud voice: "The stars of the Tsing Yi Division, the brothers of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you can accept the kindness of the people, but you must pay the corresponding remuneration according to the market price, which is what you deserve." ”

Under Shen Ning's order, the people who were moved took out the silver money they were carrying from their cuffs, and wanted to hand it over to the people of Weicheng who saw them off, but where were these people willing to accept it, both sides were prevaricating, this was from the bottom of their hearts to want each other's life to be better, and this was also a rare warm moment in the crisis situation of the Great Jin.

"Those who eat the people in vain, I will immediately send them back to Shenjing City!"

Of course, Shen Ning could see the scene in front of him, so he was willing to be this wicked person, not to mention that the people of Tsing Yi Si and the Heavenly Master's Mansion were not fools, and they could understand the meaning of his words.

When the people heard Shen Ning's order, they didn't shirk anymore, but just watched them eat the food made by their own family, and a happy smile appeared on their faces, as if these children could kill those damned beasts for them.

This farewell gift did not last long, Shen Ning looked at the sky and found that the time was not early, so he immediately got on the horse and ordered: "Gentlemen, I should wait for it." ”

After listening to Shen Ning's order, the cultivators of the Tsing Yi Division and the Heavenly Master's Mansion quickly returned to their teams.

Of course, the people were not able to stop them, they knew that these sons were going to fight hard for them, everyone's eyes were red, and there was a slight choking sound from the crowd.

Shen Ning was about to lead the army to leave, but he was pulled by an old man at the corner of his clothes, his wrinkled face showed a trace of worry, holding the best pastries, and said softly: "Child, you can also taste it, these are made by the pastry shop in the city, and they are not dirty." ”

Shen Ning was slightly stunned when he heard this, took out the equivalent silver money from his arms, put it in the old man's hand, took the pastry and ate it in front of them.

Then in the face of many people, his voice softened: "On the front line of this trip, I will definitely give an explanation to my fathers and fellow villagers, don't read it, don't worry, and see you when you return." ”

The cold voice flowed into everyone's hearts like a spring of sweet rain.

"Departure of all gentlemen!"

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

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

As the sun set, the orange-red horizon formed a line with the skyline, Lingyuan escaped, and Shen Ning and the others arrived at the city on the front line at dusk - Shangqiu City.

When he was about to arrive, he could see a cavalry composed of monks in the distance coming to meet him, and after the two sides converged, the commander of the cavalry turned over and dismounted, pressed the hilt of his sword, and asked in a loud voice: "Is there someone from Shenjing City ahead?" ”

"Exactly."

Shen Ning responded loudly, also turned over and dismounted, and walked to the cavalry team alone.

"Show your tokens and Your Majesty's Decree."

This cavalry commander was not polite in the face of Shen Ning and the others, and kept a certain distance from Shen Ning and them.

With such caution, the crisis on Shangqiu City's side can be seen in general.

This is also a routine matter, so Shen Ning did not embarrass the person in front of him, and took out these two things from the storage ring given to him by his son Fu Lingyue, and after checking the results, the cavalry commander hugged his fists and said:

"It's just a routine affair, please don't blame the commander!"

Shen Ning nodded, he didn't mean to blame, and then under the leadership of this cavalry commander, he entered Shangqiu City, and there were many interrogations when he entered the city, which was not enough to write them one by one.

When he arrived in Shangqiu City, under the arrangement of this commander, the Tsing Yi Division and the disciples from the Heavenly Master's Mansion lived in the barracks, and they were originally going to arrange a separate residence for Shen Ning, but Shen Ning refused, which also made the cavalry commander look down on Shen Ning a little.

Before Shen Ning came, he had heard that this commander was a close minister of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he thought that he was ascending to the throne by relying on his relationship, but seeing the respectful attitude of these entourages in the face of him, he immediately dispelled this idea, and took Shen Ning to a camp tent instead:

"This is the camp of the Chinese army, on weekdays, the commanders are in the camp next door to discuss affairs, in the next surname Wang Mingjie, is the commander of the cavalry team, if there is anything in the commander, you can send the soldiers in the barracks to my camp tent to find me."

Shen Ning nodded and asked, "Commander Wang, do you know where the Vermilion Bird Guardian and the White Tiger Guard are?" ”

Wang Jie smiled and replied, "The two guardians told me in advance that the Lord Commander should just rest tonight, and there will be arrangements for tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Shen Ning didn't say much, although he had the imperial order of Emperor Jing, there was no doubt that the affairs of Henan Province were still in charge of the two Quartet guards, and he was just commanding a support army, and the specific matters still needed to be arranged.

Seeing that Shen Ning had no doubts, Wang Jie left the camp.

Shen Ning had dinner with a group of soldiers in the barracks, and after a brief familiarization, he looked at the sky outside and found that it was still early, so he walked up to the head of Shangqiu City alone, wanting to see the situation outside.

When you climb Shangqiu City, the cool breeze blows in your face, and under the illumination of the moonlight, the Hulu Mountain in the distance seems extremely quiet, using your divine sense to probe, you can hear the sparse sound, and if you go deeper, you can perceive the barrier built by the demonic energy, which is easy to touch.

At the foot of Hulu Mountain, where there are corpses, blood invades the soil, the smell of blood is soaring, and several vultures are still hovering in the sky, and after realizing that there is no danger, they swoop down again, eating the corpses of humans and monsters.

The battle between humans and the demon clan is even more cruel, and the demon clan is not moral, so these corpses are placed under the gourd mountain and stinky and rotten, and no one can deal with them.

When Shen Ning saw the scene in front of him, he inevitably felt a little sad in his heart, but he was not qualified to do anything in the face of such a situation.

After standing at the head of the city for a long time, Shen Ning sighed slightly before walking down the city wall.

He also wanted to see what the current situation of the cultivators of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Tsing Yi Division who had just arrived in Shangqiu City was, which was what he should do as a commander.

Shangqiu City was brightly lit under the moonlight, and a fiery red figure was lying on a beam, looking at Shen Ning who was shuttling in the barracks, with a faint smile on his face.

Of course, Shen Ning didn't notice that someone was spying on him, and after probing the current situation of the cultivators who had come to support him from outside, he was relieved and walked back to his tent.

When he returned to the camp, he could not sleep, and there were so many things on his mind.

There are ideas on how to crack the current situation.

There are also worries about Zi Fu Lingyue, who went to investigate the matter of the Shangqing Sect, although before leaving, he and Zi Fu Lingyue established a connection between the two through secret techniques, and if one party is in danger, the other party can clearly perceive the other party's location.

With this connection, it will undoubtedly be much safer.

But Shen Ning was still uncontrollably worried, sitting at the head of the bed, looking out the window at the full moon in the sky, and grinding the jade pendant she gave to herself, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart......

What he didn't know was that Zi Fu Lingyue was also looking at Mingyue now, her face was heavy, according to the clues collected in the past few days, there have been several small sects in Henan Province that have been destroyed by unknown forces, and the magic weapons in their doors have been taken away, and the death of the disciples is also extremely tragic, they were all sucked dry of essence and blood and died, which is the same as the scene when her sect was slaughtered.

In the ruins, Zifu Lingyue and a group of subordinates were looking for clues, I don't know how long time had passed, and they handled one tragic corpse after another, and suddenly heard a star say: "Found it." ”

I saw that he was holding a broken magic weapon in his hand, which was still stained with wisps of black blood, Zi Fu Lingyue took this magic weapon and looked at it, her brows furrowed slightly, the aura emitted by this was very similar to the token she had found in the ruins before!

Handing the artifact to a constellation, the other party nodded after a brief probing, and wisps of white light extended from her body, dragging towards the north.

Seeing this, Zifu Lingyue immediately ordered: "Chase!" ”

The figures of a group of nine people then disappeared into the night.
