After Xu Huaigu met Lin Cangyang, he walked back to the inn from the palace, and he was a little distracted along the way.

At this time, it was past noon, and there was a rare sun, but the sun was cold when it shone on people.

The snow on the ground melted a lot, but because of this, the road was extremely muddy. The snow at the door of the inn has been cleaned up by the proprietress and a few guys, and at this time, the inn lobby is full of people, all discussing the progress of the battle and future plans, and it is boiling.

Although everyone has different opinions, their faces are all the same, and no one can think of any good ideas.

Yu Qin and Ruyu also sat at a table in the corner, but they didn't participate in the discussion, just listened quietly.

A young and beautiful girl and a handsome child are always more eye-catching than the average person.

There was no shortage of people glancing at each other in the lobby, and in short, they had to stay on the two of them a few more times.

Xu Huaigu walked into the inn and saw that Yu Qin was also in the lobby, so he sat down beside her, and those superfluous eyes reluctantly left.

Xu Huaigu listened in the lobby for a while, and there were all kinds of voices. Some people are afraid of death, some people talk about it, some people are suspicious, and a few people don't take it seriously at all.

What's more, they said that they would gather all the people in the city to rush out of the city to flee for their lives, and as long as there were many people, the court would not dare to do anything to them.

It's just that although the man said it loudly, patted his chest and slapped it loudly, and after a few people said that they were willing to make trouble with him, the man lowered his voice again, and found some reasons to prevaricate in the past, saying that he was just talking nonsense, and he couldn't take it seriously.

If he really makes trouble, although the court is afraid of the large number of people and does not blame the public, he, the leader of the crime, will definitely be beheaded.

Now is not a peaceful era, human life is not worth a few taels of silver, and the court will be happy to kill chickens and monkeys.

Xu Huaigu listened to it for a while, and felt that it was not very interesting, so he took Yu Qin and Ruyu upstairs and went back to the room.

As soon as she entered the room, Yu Qin asked worriedly: "I heard from them that the demon clan has already hit Ximenxia, and it is dozens of miles away from Xingqing, is it really fake?" ”

"Really." Xu Huaigu nodded,

"But Lu Zijin and they have their own plans, and the demon clan will suffer a big loss in Ximen Gorge." Yu Qin's eyebrows furrowed, and she asked, "How long can Xingqing stay?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "It's not long, we have to leave in the next few days." Yu Qin lowered her head and looked out the window in a daze, stunned.

Xu Huaigu patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "This is going to Xingqing, it should be goodbye, all tidy up your mood, let's set off again." Looking at the disappointed appearance of the two, Ruyu felt a little guilty in her heart.

After getting along these days, Yu Qin treats him very well, like a younger brother, although Xu Huaigu is stricter, but in response to his words, discipline is care, Ruyu not only does not complain about him, but feels that he also treats himself very well.

However, the reason why they are so lost is because their own people are about to attack, and Ruyu is also a little uncomfortable in her heart.

After living in the territory of the Terran for more than a few months, his living habits have changed a lot, and he can gradually get used to people's work and diet.

Because of his good looks, he immediately attracted the children of several families around the inn, and those children rushed to be friends with him.

He had never known what his friends were, but the children often came to the inn to play with him.

Although they are all simple games, their feelings are cultivated in such a day and night.

Although he was not interested in games, he gradually wanted to meet the children. That's what friends mean?

As for what Yu Qin once said

The word "like", he can also have some understanding, probably referring to a deeper relationship than a friend.

…… Two days later, at night, I couldn't see my fingers, and the cold wind blew from the wide river, and it was bitterly cold.

The soldiers of Ximenxia were stationed on the bank of the river, and although the conditions were difficult, as a border army, they were duty-bound.

Originally, everything was going on as usual, the daily patrol troops and the scouts who went to spy on the enemy also set off as scheduled, and everyone did not notice the abnormality, but at almost the same moment, more than a dozen camps in Ximen Gorge, large and small, all had a report from the capital.

The fast horses had brought a rather strange order, which did not give any reason, but only asked them to retreat immediately.

There is no need to pack up the camp and the bonfire, as long as you withdraw as soon as possible, and retreat to about ten miles outside Xingqing City to set up camp again.

Everyone was puzzled, why did they suddenly retreat? You know, Ximenxia is the last line of defense to hold the demon clan, if they retreat, how can Xingqing hold it?

For a while, the soldiers couldn't help but be puzzled. However, the order was clearly written in black and white, and although there was confusion and reluctance, the soldiers did it anyway.

They withdrew from Ximen Gorge overnight and rushed in the direction of Xingqing City, leaving an empty camp by the river.

On the banks of the Qishui River, there are no more horses and horses stationed, but the demon clan doesn't know it. The leading demon clan looked into the canyon from afar, and when he saw the camp and the fire, he believed it.

They still followed the established plan, dividing the 400,000 demon clan soldiers into three routes, the 200,000 demon clans feinted from the front, and the remaining 200,000 divided into two roads, went around the middle of the canyon from the mountains and forests, and attacked the two camps with the largest number of people respectively according to the guidance on the marching array map.

In this way, the army of Ximen Gorge can be cut into two sections, plus the demon army that attacked head-on, and the inside and outside should be combined to take the canyon pass in one fell swoop.

The 200,000 demon clans came at night and attacked the canyon from the front, covering for the surprise attack on both wings.

However, when the leading demon army rushed into the canyon, they unexpectedly found that the camp was empty, and there was not even a shadow of a soldier from the Dayu Kingdom.

It stands to reason that in such an unreasonable situation, we should be cautious. However, those demon soldiers were all stupid, and the few demon generals who took the lead were also carried away by the successive victories, and they thought that it was the army of Dayu that fled without a fight, and they couldn't help but be triumphant.

So they continued to march deeper into the canyon, and joined up with the other two raiding demon armies, and none of them found it.

This situation exceeded expectations, and several demon generals decided to leave a part of the army to guard the canyon, and the rest of the army still withdrew to the camp and then made plans.

Until now, the vast river that flows through Dongfuyao Island is still calm. Directly above Ximen Gorge, two flying swords hovered side by side in the air.

Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin stood on one sword, Ruyu standing on the other. Originally, the matter of Ximen Gorge was going to flood hundreds of thousands of demon troops, and Ruyu should not be allowed to come to watch.

But after hearing about this, he took the initiative to ask to come over, and Xu Huaigu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to him.

I also took this opportunity to test how much attachment he still had for the demon clan in his heart. Xu Huaigu had already concentrated his mind on monitoring him a hundred times, if he dared to do something bad halfway, Xu Huaigu would immediately stop it.

After all, in order to plan this day, so many soldiers in Tanglinguan sacrificed, no matter what, they couldn't be allowed to die for no reason.

They will die a worthwhile death, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the demon clan are their burials. At this time, the canyon was full of dense demon clans, and Xu Huaigu and his party could see it really in the sky, about three or four hundred thousand, and they wandered in groups in the canyon, like dark clouds in the air.

When they searched the canyon and found no soldiers from the Great Yu Kingdom, they began to divide into two groups.

A small part remained in place and scattered, while the rest of the army withdrew to the rear, presumably in preparation for the return of the squad to the camp.

Time is still passing, and the demon army is going farther and farther. There was a thick layer of ice on the surface of the river, and it was as calm as ever, but there was some fog, which made Xu Huaigu a little anxious.

That Ning Qiu had already agreed reluctantly, but now that he saw that there were so many demon clans, did he also feel timid and scared?

If she didn't do it, such a long-term plan would be ruined. Xu Huaigu frowned, staring at the river.

Suddenly, in such a flash of lightning, he saw the ice layer in the heart of the river suddenly break apart, and then he heard it

There was a loud bang, and the water swelled violently. As soon as the river was lifted upward, a huge wave emerged from the river, smashing the ice to pieces.

The big waves are about dozens of feet high and more than ten miles wide, covering almost the entire canyon. Even Xu Huaigu and his party stood high in the air, and they could feel a damp strong wind blowing.

Originally, there was no wind in the sky and the earth, where did such a big wave come from? At this time, the demon army left in the canyon was dumbfounded, and for a while they panicked and scattered, and each of them rushed to the mountains and forests as if they were desperate.

However, the big waves come extremely quickly, where can the feet run? The monstrous waves fell mercilessly towards the shore, and as soon as they landed, the majestic water suddenly dispersed.

Anything that came across the water—trees, boulders, or terrified-looking demons—was mercilessly swept in.

Some of the demon clans were directly slapped to death by the powerful force of the current, and some were swept into the river by the current, needless to say, it was also a dead end.

In addition, the high terrain on both sides of the canyon caused the river bank to be cleaned after the huge waves fell, and the water rolled back and forth between the mountains on both sides several times, cleaning the river bank clean.

The first round of big waves came over, and those black spots were already seven or eight out of ten, and only the demon clan with cultivation survived with difficulty, and they were still desperately fleeing out of the canyon.

Yu Qin looked down intently, but Xu Huaigu was looking at Ruyu's face with the corner of his eye, and when he saw that his expression was a little abrupt, he frowned, concentrated his concentration, and was ready to stop him at any time.

But that's not all. After the first round of big waves, the river surface gave birth to the second round of big waves non-stop.

As if it had accumulated strength for a longer time, this wave came more violently and more quickly, and once again smashed those fish that slipped through the net.

Then there were several big waves, turning a few times in the canyon, and the snow-white waves washed freely in the entire canyon, and the sound shook the sky, until a demon clan could not see it, and the river began to calm down.

The river flowed back, but for a moment, it was a calm scene, and there was no trace of blood. The army of 400,000 demon clans, just a cup of tea, all went to see Lord Yama.

Xu Huaigu took a deep breath and thought of a metaphor that was not so appropriate—it was like an ordinary person washing a bowl after eating.

From beginning to end, Ruyu had never made a move, Xu Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not so happy about it.

Not long after leaving the Demon Domain, he was already able to bear to see 400,000 demon clans being flooded, which shows that the friendship between the demon clans is indifferent.

Xu Huaigu half-squinted his eyes, looked carefully into the canyon for a long time, and after confirming that none of the demon clans survived, he turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the water in the center of the river condensed into a female figure, which was the Qi Water God Ning Qiu.

Ning Qiu stood in the heart of the river, looked up at the flying sword in the height, and asked, "Are you still satisfied?" Xu Huaigu turned around and nodded at her.

Ning Qiu said again: "Then help me tell Your Highness that Ning Qiu's love affair with Dayu has ended, and he will not interfere in the war between the two clans of the demon clan from now on." Xu Huaigu nodded, and didn't say more, the flying sword was fleeting, and it still went in the direction of Xingqing.

Lin Cangyang once said that after the incident in Ximenxia, let him go to her for the last time, and Xu Huaigu went to fulfill this promise.

Ning Qiu's expression was faint, he couldn't see the joy and sorrow, and once again turned into water and drilled under the river, not knowing where to go.
