Chapter 40: The sword light rises to the sky

Pei Zhiqing is still busy these days.

Although food prices in Heyang County have stabilized and people's lives have temporarily stabilized, this does not mean that they can sit back and relax.

After all, the threat of the Zhaoyang Army has always been there and has not disappeared.

Therefore, she has been gathering people to preach the terrible nature of this matter and mobilize the people to participate in the defense of the city.

Of course, ordinary people don't need to actually go up to the city wall, they only need to carry some supplies in the city.

This is not a simple matter, and it takes a lot of effort to explain it alone, and it doesn't take care of anything else.

At the end of a tiring day, she returned to her rented compound, poured herself a cup of tea, and fell into deep thought.

Today she went to explain the matter of defending the city, and one of the families was the mother and daughter who had saved her before.

The mother is Wang, and the daughter is only eight years old and named Lu Qin.

Originally, there were two men in the family.

But the father who was in charge of the family was conscripted by the Zhaoyang Army to be a civilian husband, and his brother Lu Heng was also conscripted to repair the canal.

A few days ago, Cai Kang died of the river canal, and the construction of the river canal was stopped, and the conscripts were all dismissed and returned to their hometowns.

But Lu Heng never came back.

The mother and daughter were very worried, and asked Pei Zhiqing to help inquire about the news today.

"The predecessors and the mother and daughter said Lu Heng have the same name and surname."

Pei Zhiqing drank a cup of tea, and there were a lot of doubts in her heart, and she said secretly, "My predecessors have told me these days to take more care of this mother and daughter, and don't let them suffer and starve, right...... But it can't be. ”

Although Lu Daxia's existence is already a well-known thing in Heyang County, very few people know what this Lu Daxia is called, and their understanding of him is basically limited to knowing his surname Lu.

"Lu Heng is not a too rare name, it is normal to have the same." Pei Zhiqing shook his head and shook off his guess just now.

After all, the gap between the Lu Heng described by the mother and daughter and the Lu Heng she knows now is too big, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is far away, and it is impossible to be alone.

However, she still inevitably thought of the first time she saw Lu Heng, it was in the flying courtyard next to the mother and daughter's house, and Lu Heng still lives there.

Could it be that there is really any connection between the predecessors and the Lu Heng that the mother and daughter talked about?

Pei Zhiqing's doubts rose again, but she still firmly believed that the two could never be the same person.

This one is the grandmaster of the ninth level of ascending to heaven, and the other is a thin and short poor boy.

It can't be the same person.

"It should just happen to have the same name."

Pei Zhiqing came to the final conclusion in her heart and stopped thinking about it.

He was about to get up and rest, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Immediately after, through the window, I saw three figures flying into his courtyard.

"Who!"

She immediately got up, drew her long sword, and rushed into the courtyard, looking vigilant.

When the night is deep, if you come without telling you and climb over the wall, you are probably not a good person.

"Haha, Zhiqing, your martial arts have grown a lot in the past few years, we deliberately made some footsteps, and you found out immediately." Sun Siniang, the deputy master of the Sifang Gate, walked over with a smile, "Don't worry, it's us." ”

"Uncle Sun, why are you here, or at this time?" Pei Zhiqing looked at the visitor in surprise.

Her master Yuan Suxin and Sun Siniang are friends a lot, and she has seen Sun Siniang many times since she was a child, so she naturally knows each other.

However, the other two Pei Zhiqing didn't know each other, so although she saw that it was Sun Siniang who arrived, she didn't let down her vigilance.

"Don't panic, we came here this time because we want to ask you about something." Sun Siniang smiled slightly, and then said, "Let me introduce you, this is Gu Chao, the great elder of the Tiantong Sect, and Chai Falcon, the deputy leader of the Jianghai Gang. ”

"The juniors have seen Elder Gu, the leader of the Chai Gang." Pei Zhiqing saluted respectfully, but her heart was awe-inspiring.

She had roughly guessed what the three men were here for.

A few days ago, among the people in the rivers and lakes who were killed by Lu Heng for hurting the people, there were people from the Tiantong faction, the Jianghai Gang, and the Sifangmen.

Most of these three people came here to get revenge.

The three ninth level grandmasters are here!

"Will the seniors be in danger?" Pei Zhiqing's heart was a little worried.

In her cognition, Lu Heng should be the kind of very powerful ninth level, and his martial arts are also very special, so he can kill the eighth level so easily without leaving any traces of his shot.

But if one person faces three Ninth Level Grandmasters, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.

Although Pei Zhiqing was already uneasy in her heart, she still pretended to be puzzled on the surface, and asked Sun Siniang: "Uncle Sun, you came late at night, is there anything important?" ”

"Well, there is indeed something very important that we need your help with." Sun Siniang nodded, and said solemnly, "As the head of foreign affairs of Heyang County of the Zixiao Sect, you have been in this county for a long time, so you should know that the master of the ninth level surnamed Lu should know." ”

"Yes." Pei Zhiqing nodded, and she had already begun to think about how to prevaricate in her heart.

She is full of gratitude and reverence for Lu Heng.

On the one hand, Lu Heng is her life-saving benefactor, on the other hand, Lu Heng is really making the people of Heyang County live a better life, and he is also trying his best to keep Heyang County.

In Pei Zhiqing's opinion, this is a selfless person, and it is absolutely impossible for her to help others deal with Lu Heng.

"You don't need to go into too much detail, just tell me what you know." Sun Siniang's tone was gentle and authentic, and she was still wondering if Pei Zhiqing was bullied by the surnamed Lu during the time she was in Heyang County.

"Hmm." Pei Zhiqing nodded, slightly blocked the language, and said, "Actually, I don't know much about him, I only know that he seems to have appeared suddenly......"

Thundered!

At this moment, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from outside.

A loud bang rushed from the ground to the sky, and the quiet night sky was torn apart, waking up countless people in their sleep, all of whom looked at the sky with horrified eyes.

Pei Zhiqing's side is no exception.

Sun Siniang, Gu Chao, and Chai Falcon all flew to the roof, looked in the direction where the roar came from, and then found that there were two rays of light shining there, one purple and one black.

"This is the Eight Desolations Sect's Sole Sword Technique and the Netherworld Sect's Black Evil Divine Fist!" Gu Chao exclaimed, "It turns out that they also sent someone over, and they did it directly!" ”

"It's so powerful, the brilliance is so bright, I'm afraid it's already the peak of the ninth level." Chai Falcon was also amazed, "The two of them actually figured out the situation of the surnamed Lu so quickly?" They're going to get ahead of the game, what are we going to do? ”

Pei Zhiqing's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this, his predecessor was besieged by two evil sects at the ninth level?!

"We can't go over now, and it will damage our reputation if we go through it with the Evil Dao Sect Master." Sun Siniang shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Let's wait and see first...... What, how is it possible?! ”

Her voice suddenly raised, and her eyes looked in that direction with horror, and the expressions on the faces of the other two became extremely shocked.

I saw a pure white sword light with murderous intent rising from the ground and heading straight towards Xiao Han, like a giant sword that wanted to unfold the heavens and the earth, instantly engulfing the two rays of light just now, one purple and one black, and then disappeared in the sky with a slight flicker.

The night sky was once again as quiet as it had been, as if the roar and power of light had never been there.

"This, how is this possible?!" Sun Siniang's face turned pale, she only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and she said in shock, "The power of the two Ninth Levels has disappeared, he, they are dead, and they were killed in just one move?!" ”
