In a simple secret room in the City Lord's Mansion of the People's Movement City, a majestic old man was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed, and the whole person was motionless like a statue, and he could barely feel his breathing.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe walked in gently, no one followed behind him, and when he came to the old man, the man bowed slightly and said softly: "Mu Lao Xing is not up." ”

The old man slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, but there is something important that the old man needs to do." ”

This man is Shang Ning, the prince of Rongguo, who can be regarded as a guy who can't be literate, but he has one thing that no one can match, that is, his charm, everyone who has been in contact with him thinks that he is a friend worth associating, and when he becomes the prince, even 90% of the important ministers think that he is a worthy of assistance!

Shang Ning hugged his fists again and said: "Yes, Mu Lao, originally we thought that the Ling Hua Army would attack fiercely, according to calculations, it will take them at least ten days or so to break through our big array, and then it will be a melee, and then Mu Lao will be able to kill their high-level and even masters." ”

Mu Lao nodded and said, "Originally, we had such a plan, why is it that the big array has been broken now?" ”

Shang Ning shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Ling Huajun has retreated, just retreated inexplicably." ”

Mu Lao heard this. I couldn't help but be stunned: "Retreat!" , This is not like Ling Huajun's usual style, and they have just won a big victory, so it stands to reason that they should be the proudest time, how can they retreat without a fight? ”

Shang Ning was also puzzled and said: "I don't understand at all, even if they have a high-level spirit array master, and they see that our Sanyun City is using a joint defense array, then it won't scare them away, the big array we hide in the ground is not something that ordinary ninth-level spirit array masters can see, I'm afraid even a ninth-level peak spirit array master may not be able to see the doorway." ”

"That is, there is a spy who has revealed the news here!" Mu Lao said coldly.

Shang Ning waved his hand and said: "It's impossible, only you know the secret, the two of us, even the Metropolitan Governor who is in charge of coordinating the Three Fortune City don't know, especially the existence of Mu Lao, so it is absolutely impossible for Ling Huajun to know the reason for this!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Lao was silent for a while, then stopped dwelling on this issue, looked at Shang Ning and said, "What do you want me to do now?" ”

"Most of the Linghua army has retreated, and if they are like this, we will not have the index to activate the big array, so it is impossible to destroy their army, I want to ask Mu Lao to take action and kill some of their important people, especially the masters of the life and death realm, I will transfer the army to rush and kill first, and fight for you a chance!"

When Mu Lao heard this, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, the old man will ask them to leave some important people." ”

Thirty miles away, Fang Lin was dressed in black, standing on a high mountain and watching the orderly retreating army below silent, suddenly, he seemed to have some sense, raised his head and said: "Go and order the general, speed up, be sure to withdraw into the mountains and forests within an hour!" ”

One person's body paused slightly, and said: "Sect Master, this is unlikely, we still have 200,000 people, how can one hour be enough!" ”

Fang Lin's eyes burst with a touch of coldness, the person who saw it trembled, and immediately turned around to give the order, only then did Li Haoran come over and say, "You have never been so out of shape, what's wrong?" ”

Fang Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's just that I suddenly have a very bad feeling, it seems that some danger is approaching, and it is a great danger!" ”

Li Haoran was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Is it even bigger than the Ice Phoenix's time?" ”

Fang Lin shook his head and said: "It's different, although the Ice Phoenix is powerful, but she is not targeting us, at least not specifically targeting us, and now this danger is specifically aimed at our army, I feel that if we don't withdraw quickly, I'm afraid the loss will be very large!" ”

At this moment, the speed of the advance below suddenly more than doubled, and even some military supplies that were not important were thrown down, and at this time, the gates of the People's Movement City suddenly opened, and a large number of cavalry rushed out of it, like a torrent, and rushed towards the retreating Linghua army.

Although the Linghua army was in retreat, it was not defenseless at all, and the last three rows of sergeants suddenly turned around under the command of their respective commanders, and the tower shield smashed heavily into the earth, and the spear stretched out from the hole in the shield, just forming a solid spiked shield wall in an instant!

"Kill~~~" In the face of this defensive formation against the cavalry, those cavalry didn't care, roaring and rushing to kill, their war horses were also extremely fast, although they were not as fast as the elite cavalry of the Shang Kingdom, but they were also much faster than ordinary war horses, at least the ordinary cavalry of Ling Huazong could not compare!

Bang bang ~~~~~ next moment, countless war horses just hit the shield wall so hard, and suddenly neighed and screamed, however, the corpses that crashed into it filled the spikes on the shield, and increased the burden on the tower shield hands.

Bang bang bang, the spearmen instilled the true element, shook the tip of the spear, and shattered those corpses, however, as soon as they finished this, before they had time to breathe, the opponent's death squad collided again, and after a cycle of seven or eight rounds, finally, the true yuan of the spearmen appeared a short delay, did not shatter those corpses in the first place, and the enemy took this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack.

Boom, boom, a thick knight's spear hit the joint between the shields, and the powerful force shook the tower shielders who were not very high in cultivation to retreat again and again, and some of them even lost their footing, fell to the ground, and then were trampled to death by the incoming war horses!

There was a gap in the military formation, but it was broken through in the blink of an eye, under the impact of the cavalry, the three thousand people phalanx disappeared in an instant, and the rest were scattered, and they were soon swallowed up by the enemy troops who covered up behind, and then, these cavalry rushed towards the retreating Linghua army again, at this time, the troops left by the Linghua army outside the mountains and forests were only seventy or eighty thousand, and they could all retreat into the mountains and forests in three quarters of an hour at most, but now the enemy army has rushed up.

At this time, it reflected the military quality of the Ling Hua army and the wisdom and ability of the generals, although the situation was very unfavorable to themselves, but they did not panic at all, and suddenly the sergeants of the thirty phalanxes suddenly turned around, there was no defense of the tower shield, but Rulin's spears were all flat, and they roared and rushed towards those cavalry in a row, and the spears were still flashing with a misty halo of true yuan, and their bodies were also flashing with golden light, and they directly used the Vajra talisman!

And that wasn't the end, for while the 30,000 men rushed out, ten more phalanx soldiers turned around, and the rattling of bowstrings rang out, and arrows rained down on the enemy.

Puff puff puff ~~~~ The sound of sharp weapons entering the body sounded, the screams of the soldiers before death and the frightened neighing of the war horses were instantly intertwined, quickly overpowering the roars of the soldiers on both sides, for a while, the cavalry formation of the People's Movement City was chaotic, and the pikemen followed, and the fierce rush was just a few breaths to chisel the cavalry formation, which was not thick, and 10,000 light cavalry were explained here.

However, immediately afterward, everyone felt a slight tremor on the ground, and suddenly, all the pikemen made a posture of vigilance, and it was time to change formation under the command of their centurion and thousand-commander.

On a small hill, Dongfang Tianxiao looked at the heavy cavalry team rushing in the distance, and said: "Now we are in trouble, in this open place, in the face of the rushing heavy cavalry, we are almost powerless." ”

General Mi said: "Our soldiers all have earth spirit runes, and they can create a huge pit in an instant, so it will be beneficial to us." ”

Dongfang Tianxiao shook his head and said: "It's useless, the other party must also have something like the Earth Spirit Rune, this is at most to delay them, hey, now they can only retreat slowly in a defensive posture, as long as they enter the mountains and forests, the heavy cavalry will not have any advantage at all." ”

Immediately, Dongfang Tianxiao took out a small flag and shook it regularly in the air a few times, and suddenly, the 30,000 infantry in front formed a large defensive array, slowly retreated backwards, and also used the earth spirit talisman to create huge pits on the ground, trying to create some trouble for the other party.

Just when Dongfang Tianxiao shook the small flag, a cold snort suddenly came from the air, and then a figure burst from the sky, and with a flick of his fingers, a streamer shot towards Dongfang Tianxiao, which was actually to take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies!

The speed of that streamer was extremely fast, and with Dongfang Tianxiao's cultivation, he couldn't even capture its shadow at all, and the rest of the generals did the same, but the breath of death was real.

Just when Dongfang Tianxiao closed his eyes and waited for death, a cold snort sounded beside him, and the same streamer shot out, colliding with the attack in the air, and after making a muffled sound, both disappeared, and then, an old man with white hair and green clothes rose into the air and rushed towards the figure in the air, leaving a sentence at the same time: "General, go quickly!" ”

Dongfang Tianxiao didn't want to go, but there was a whistle on the top of the mountain in the distance, he knew. This was Fang Lin ordering him to flee quickly, and suddenly Dongfang Tianxiao's heart sank, which showed that the strength of the person who came was absolutely strong, and he no longer hesitated, and turned around with the generals and fled towards the distance as fast as possible.

Boom, the white-haired and green-clothed old man collided with the visitor in the air, but the white-haired old man fell from the air with a scream of pain, but the person who came did not move, but he did not take advantage of the situation to chase and kill the old man, but looked in the direction where the whistle came from, he could conclude that there must be an extremely important person in Ling Huazong there, otherwise it would be impossible to order a general.

The person who came was about to rush towards the top of the mountain, however, at this time, the old man who had been knocked away before was roaring and rushing over, a war knife in his hand shining with the cold glow of the forest, and the sword light at the edge of the blade was looming, and the knife qi that contained but did not give people a feeling of being sharp and unbroken.

"Spiritual Weapon! , It's really amazing, the old man doesn't have a spiritual weapon in his hand until now, you have a junior who has just glimpsed the realm of life and death actually has a spiritual weapon, hehe Ling Huazong is really rich, so that the old man wants to rob it. The visitor muttered.

Whew~~ The white-haired old man slashed out with a knife and swept towards the waist of the comer, and no knife light flew out, but everyone knew that as long as he was cut by this knife, the power that erupted with it could cut the person into two pieces with his armor.

Looking at the knife, the person who came nodded slightly, and secretly praised: "It's very good, but it's still a little bad to deal with the old man, hehe." ”

I saw his figure flash, flying upside down, and the blade was only three inches away from his body, however, these three inches were like an insurmountable curse, always three inches!

At a certain moment, the figure of the person who came flashed again, and disappeared in front of him strangely, the white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, and then, he felt a strong wind on his left side, and he didn't want to think about it, and slashed it with a knife, and the strength of the foot made the air ripple!

Seeing the other party's knife towards his palm, the person who came was not in a hurry, raised his arm slightly, avoided the knife, and flicked his fingers on the back of the knife, making a soft sound, however, the white-haired old man felt a huge force transmitted to his body, and involuntarily stumbled, and at such an instant, a palm was fiercely imprinted on his back, hitting him to spurt out a mouthful of blood, however, before his body flew out, he was grabbed by a big hand and lifted back. Immediately after that, there was another punch in the lower abdomen, wanting to abolish his dantian first!

Bang, he was hit the lower abdomen by a punch, and the old man let out a miserable scream, but a white brilliance bloomed on his body, and the man's fist rebounded, protecting his dantian from being destroyed.

The person who came didn't expect this, and was immediately shocked by his own strength and flew out upside down, and at this time, the whistle sounded again on the top of the mountain in the distance, however, the white-haired old man turned a deaf ear to this.

"The armor of the spirit weapon, hehe, it's really good, the luck of an old man today is really good, I want all your things!" The man laughed.

"Hehe, yes, then you can get it!" The white-haired old man sneered, and the next moment, a dazzling brilliance appeared on his body, and the war knife in his hand was also blazing with white light, and then, he laughed wildly and rushed towards the person who came like lightning.

When the visitor saw this scene, he couldn't help but scold: "Bastard! Lunatic! It's a spiritual weapon, and you're willing to explode it! What he cared about was the old man's spiritual weapon, but he didn't say a word about the old man's self-explosion, although he was scolding, but his figure retreated rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he reached a hundred zhang away, and the speed of retreat was not reduced at all, and it was getting faster and faster.

Boom~~~ An earth-shattering explosion came, although the self-explosion was in the air, but at this moment, even the earth within a radius of hundreds of zhang was trembling, and a circle of visible air waves were surging around, and the people who retreated rapidly in the sky were instantly slapped on their bodies by this air wave, and flew into the distance at a speed several times faster, sprinkling a little blood rain in the air.

The armies of both sides that were fighting below were taken care of by the aftermath of the explosion, and in an instant, the place where the air wave swept through became a white ground, leaving nothing and no trace of it, except the bare ground; The 30,000 Linghua army was completely annihilated, and the 50,000 heavy cavalry only escaped with only a few thousand people from the farthest distance!

On the top of the mountain in the distance, Fang Lin and the others watched this scene and didn't say a word, but from their slightly trembling bodies, it could be seen that each of them was not calm in their hearts, and finally, at some point, a woman cried out, it was Wen Yue'er!

••••••

In the Linlang Basin, the people of Tianxuanling and Wu Guo have already met here, Wu Haotian laughed and said: "Haha, the chief manager seems to have won a big victory!" ”

Dongfang Yingqin also smiled and said, "The predecessors should also have gained a lot." ”

Wu Haoming sighed and said: "Hey, it's not satisfactory, we have already tried our best to overestimate the strength of Ying Yangwei, but we still didn't expect their will to fight to be so tenacious, and the self-explosion of a few little guys in the Na He Realm has caused us a lot of losses." ”

Dongfang Yingqin smiled slightly: "After all, we still completely annihilated the enemy army, and some losses are unavoidable, and compared to our harvest this time, I'm afraid those losses are nothing!" ”

Wu Haoyu smiled when he heard this: "It seems that the chief manager has found something good here." ”

Dongfang Yingqin said: "There are indeed good things. As he spoke, he led a group of Wu people to an area, only to see that there were a few big guys here, covered by a black curtain, and they were also isolated from the exploration of divine thoughts, Wu Haotian and the others saw it, and a bright light burst out in their eyes.

Hula, the curtain was uncovered, revealing the five-seater ballista that was two zhang high, five zhang long, and nearly one zhang wide, when he saw these ballistas, Wu Haotian exclaimed: "Cloud piercing crossbow!" ”

Dongfang Yingqin nodded and said: "Yes, it is the Yeyue Empire's unique city-breaking weapon, the Cloud Piercing Crossbow, but the conditions of this thing are also very restrictive, so on the battlefield, it often can't show its due power, but it can't be denied that once it is brought into play, it will make the opponent have a headache." ”

Wu Haoming gently stroked the crossbow cart with his hand and said, "Cloud piercing crossbow, cloud piercing crossbow, we finally have it, hehe." ”

Wu Haoyu was much calmer, looked at Dongfang Yingqin and said, "Chief, how are we going to distribute this cloud-piercing crossbow?" ”

Dongfang Yingqin smiled slightly and said: "According to our previous agreement, divide it equally, as for the extra one, if anyone wants it, then just take out something of equivalent value and give it to the other party." ”

Wu Haotian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Then we want this cloud-piercing crossbow, and the chief manager will see if these things are enough!" With that, he handed over a storage ring.

Dongfang Yingqin smiled slightly, but Sister Zhi looked at it, and the corners of her mouth showed a touch of imperceptible surprise, in addition to three drops of pure dust and heavenly dew, three drops of earth-centered quenching body milk, there was actually a sand scorpion emperor's inner pill, that is a third-level spirit beast peak demon beast, and it only occasionally appears in the deepest part of the desert, I am afraid that for this inner pill, I don't know how many strong people have died!

Dongfang Yingqin accepted the ring and said with a smile: "Deal, I look forward to cooperating with you sincerely!" ”

"Haha, we're looking forward to it too, but I think our cooperation is not too far, after all, Zhu Yutong has suffered such a big loss, it is impossible for him not to react, let's wait to give him another heavy blow." Wu Haotian laughed with satisfaction.

After agreeing on some ways to contact, the two parties returned to the •••••• Xuanlei Pass Council Hall with their loot, and Dongfang Meteor sighed: "I really didn't expect that the hidden strength of the Wu Kingdom would be so powerful, I really underestimated them before." ”

Dongfang Yingqin said: "Those are not the strength of the Wu State itself at all, have you noticed, among their masters of the life and death realm, four of them turned out to be black-clothed and never spoken, and those four people are precisely the strongest among them, isn't it strange?" ”

Pi Yanchuan opened his mouth and said: "Yes, those four people are all at the level of life and death, I secretly observed, it is very likely that they are all from the Western Regions, but I don't know who they are, unless they show the true face of Lushan." ”

Dongfang Yingqin waved his hand and said: "We don't need to pay attention to those, as long as we know that they have strong strength, the pressure of the Yeyue Empire can also be divided into half of them at that time, hehe, their strength is more than that, just like us." ”

••••••

In Huangshi City, Meng Xuan walked out of the palace, but Zong Yao had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time, and when he saw Meng Xuan coming, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Auntie, how are you talking with your father?" ”

Meng Xuan smiled lightly and said: "It's not bad, your father is not that old and stubborn, but this matter is important, and it is understandable that he can't make a decision for a while, why have you been waiting here?" ”

"Yes, my aunt must have not found a suitable place to live when she first came to Yellowstone, my nephew has already arranged it for my aunt, and it is in a separate courtyard in my house, what does my aunt think?" Zong Yao said.

"You are very thoughtful, but my aunt can't live in your mansion, let alone in the palace, otherwise someone will suspect our relationship, which will have an adverse impact on our next affairs." Meng Xuan said.

Zong Yao thought for a while and said, "Then I'll accompany my aunt to the city to rent the most luxurious cross-courtyard!" ”

Meng Xuan smiled: "As I said just now, I can't have anything to do with you, why did you come out and do this again." ”

"Hehe, aunt, you said that it doesn't have anything to do with it, but many people already know about the things in the restaurant, you know, among them, there are the Huang family, and some ambitious generals, and in their eyes, you have already been involved with me, and, I estimate, the things that brought you to the palace may be suspected." Zong Yao explained.

Meng Xuan frowned when she heard this: "I'm following you secretly, it's impossible for anyone else to find out, how can they suspect it." ”

"Hehe, haven't you heard of it, people who have ghosts in their hearts will always think that everyone else has ghosts, so as long as they suspect it, they don't need evidence at all." Zong Yao said with a smile.

Meng Xuan said: "Then what should we do, at least for now, we can't make them suspicious, otherwise, it will have a lot of resistance to our affairs, and it may even be devastating." ”

"Hehe, so, you have to swagger in front of their eyes with me, let them think that I have been pursuing you, and prove that my name of spending a lot of money has also been released, only in this way, they will not suspect it." Zong Yao said with a smile.

Meng Xuan stretched out her hand and knocked on his head, and said angrily: "You have really grown up, and you dare to take advantage of your aunt!" ”

Zong Yao covered his head and smiled: "Isn't this to help my aunt hide her identity, I'm really wronged." ”

The two of them laughed and swaggered to the previous restaurant, here, the men and women who came with Zong Yao were there, as soon as they saw Zong Yao and the others coming, a young man in a yellow robe immediately stood up, and laughed: "Yo, Brother Zong Yao, we all thought that you forgot your friends when you had a beauty, but you still remembered us." ”

A woman in red who was about the same age as Zong Yao snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, Zong Yao, don't be fooled by some women who only know how to climb dragons and phoenixes, and in the end, people and money will be empty." There was a distinct vinegar flavor in her words.

"Jijiao, Brother Zong Yao, you have to be careful, we Jiaojiao are jealous again, if I go to your house to complain later, I'm afraid you will be disciplined again." Another young man quipped.

For everyone's ridicule, Zong Yao only laughed and responded, and after a while, everyone quieted down, and the woman named Jiaojiao looked at Zong Yao and said, "What, don't you introduce us to it." ”

When Zong Yao heard this, he patted his head and said, "Oh, look at me, I've been in contact for so long, and I haven't even asked about Miss's name, it's really damn." Then he glanced at Meng Xuan apologetically, and the sincere look made Meng Xuan laugh for a while, but he also secretly admired his acting skills in his heart.

Meng Xuan glanced at Zong Yao, there was a slight hint of charm in his eyes, and it was this trace of charm that made all the men present feel like their hearts were stirring.

Then he said softly in that lark-like voice: "The little girl was originally the third lady of the Liang family in Rongcheng, named Liang Peiyu, because the Rongcheng War some time ago affected the family, which caused the family to fall, and the clansmen were also gone, and the rest also divided the family property and dispersed one after another. ”

came from Rongcheng, and suddenly, some people groaned, but at this time, a person shouted: "It turns out that you are Liang Peiyu of the Liang family!" It's no wonder that even through the veil, it can give people a feeling of beauty! ”

The yellow-robed young man from before frowned and asked, "Do you know this Liang family?" ”

"Of course I know, hehe, I may not know the Liang family among the children of a big family like Brother Zong Yao, but I know it in our second-rate family, because they are also a second-rate family, but this is famous because of a woman, that is the Miss Liang Peiyu in front of us, legend has it that she looks like a fairy, her voice is like a yellow warbler, and her smile is enough to fascinate all beings. That's humane.

Meng Xuan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that he had found a dead person to be a stand-in, but he had inadvertently become a shield for himself, and the rest of the people heard the words, and they all had an understanding expression, even the yellow-robed young man did not have the previous vigilance, but he still asked: "I don't know who Miss's cousin is, maybe we still know each other, so we can take Miss directly, and it saves Miss a lot of trouble." ”

Zong Yao was a little angry when he heard this, and said: "Huang Tingxuan, what do you mean, investigating people so clearly, do you want to have bad intentions?" ”

Huang Tingxuan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Brother Zong Yao, don't get me wrong, I definitely don't mean to snatch a woman with my brother, I just asked casually, why do you have such a big reaction." ”

Zong Yao snorted coldly, he thought that this temptation had passed like this, but he didn't know that the woman called Jiaojiao said in a weird way at this time: "Yes, I'm also curious, who is the cousin of this peerless Miss Liang San, hehe, the person from Rongcheng is not a spy sent by the Linghua Sect." ”
