In the castle guard mansion, the castle guard general named Negative Yi is playing with a piece of beautiful jade in the study.

On the desk in front of him, there was a secret letter sealed in brown paper.

The secret letter and Meiyu had just been sent together, and there was no need to open the envelope, and Negative Yi also knew that there was no letter in it, but a silver ticket of three hundred taels.

"The high-grade mutton fat jade is worth at least two hundred taels, and the old tree firm has made a lot of money today."

Negative Yi smiled with satisfaction, and put away Meiyu and planned to give it to his beautiful concubine.

If you want to make a lot of money in Baiyu City, you must have this city guard general to be a big tree, and the old tree business can develop to today's scale, which is inseparable from the existence of negative trade.

Every month, the old tree firm will offer a generous thank you gift.

Just as he was about to open the secret letter and take out the silver ticket, Negative Yi's gaze suddenly became fierce, and the breath of the seventh-rank martial artist was instantly stimulated.

A red swallow flew into the house.

Landing on the wide desk, his smart little eyes stared at the general in front of him.

Negative Yi frowned, suppressed his breath, got up and came to the door, and made sure that there was no one outside the courtyard before closing the doors and windows.

After returning to the house, Yiyi's expression became solemn.

Hongyan on the table shook her head and opened her mouth to spit out a bubble.

The bubble floated silently on the table, and gradually appeared a figure of a woman sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform.

You can only see a vague shadow, but you can't see the face.

Negative Yi arched his hand and said: "The sect leader came to visit late at night, and I don't know what is important. ”

A low, short female voice came from the bubbles.

"Lord Lingyun, you have already entered your Hundred Jade City, and the time for the general to contribute has arrived."

Hearing this, Yi Yi immediately locked his eyebrows, groaned, and said:

"Since the sect leader has ordered, it is necessary to make a contribution, however, the population of Baiyu City is more than 300,000, and the fish and dragons are mixed, it is not easy to find someone in such a large city, if you send troops to find it, even if you find the county lord, you can't do it, after all, I am still the military attache of the Great Jin."

There is a hint of shirk in the negative words.

A chuckle came from the bubbles.

"The general cherishes feathers, human nature, my Red Lotus Sect will not be difficult for others, you only need to seal the Hundred Jade City for three days, and the rest of the matter will naturally be dealt with."

Negative Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and nodded: "From today on, Baiyu City will be closed for three days to arrest the mountain bandits." ”

"That's very good."

After the last sentence remains, the bubble bursts.

The red swallow broke out of the window and flew into the night.

Negative Yi's expression gradually cooled, staring at the window paper that had been knocked out of a hole, and a coldness flashed in his eyes, but then it turned into helplessness.

Hongyan's move of breaking the window was obviously a disadvantage, and he was dissatisfied with the shirk he just had.

Negative Yi has long been implicated in the Red Lotus Sect, and the Red Lotus Sect has made a lot of efforts to achieve this position.

Negative Yi is not a member of the Red Lotus Sect, but he owes the Red Lotus Sect a favor.

Negative Yi knew that the Red Lotus Sect was powerful and ruthless, and he couldn't afford to provoke a seventh-rank martial artist at all, so he could only choose to compromise.

"Even the Lingyun County Lord dares to move, what is the Red Lotus Sect trying to plan, I am not afraid that the King of Funan will raze you in anger!"

Negative Yi secretly muttered to himself, and his expression was uncertain.

He is a smart man, he knows how to borrow strength in his career, and he knows the forces of the Great Jin Kingdom today.

Above the court, there are only a handful of characters who can wrestle with the King of Funan.

From the Red Lotus Sect's pursuit and killing of the Lingyun County Lord, Yi Yi could see the behemoth hidden behind the Red Lotus Sect, but he couldn't see the truth about the behemoth.

After pondering for a while, he summoned his own soldiers.

"Pass my order, Baiyucheng has mixed in the mountain bandits and grass bandits, closed the city for three days to arrest the bandits, transfer 1,000 elite soldiers, guard the city gate, without my warrant, no one is allowed to enter or leave within three days, and the violators will be dealt with by military law!"

After receiving the order, the pro-soldier reported:

"My lord, Mei Qian, the captain on duty in Beicheng, has just taken leave, saying that he is unwell and needs to rest for a few days."

"Tell him to rest in three days, as long as all the captains in Baiyu City are not dead, they will give me to the city gate to keep an eye on them for the past three days, and if I can't get up, I will lie down at the city gate to recuperate! Let a man go and hold them accountable! ”

The pro-soldier was about to leave, but was stopped again.

"After the order, close the door of the house, anyone looking for me will say no, remember, it's anyone." Negative and easy to sink the channel.

"What if the other adults in the city visit?" The pro-soldier asked.

"Let's just say that I led my troops to suppress bandits in the city, but I couldn't find anyone." Negative Easy Road.

After the soldiers left, Negative Yi sat alone in the study, and lost the interest in seeing the beautiful concubine.

"Immortals fight, mortals suffer, you just fight, this official just watches from the wall."

In his own words, he picked up the pen and wrote four words on rice paper.

Wise to protect yourself.

The handwritten rice paper was then thrown into the nearby stove and burned to ashes.

……

There is a dilapidated temple in the southeast corner of Baiyu City, which has fallen into disrepair and has become a shelter for beggars.

The ruined temple is dirty, feces can be seen everywhere, and rats are in swarms.

At midnight,

A red swallow flew into the ruined temple, its wings fanned, and plunged into a mouse hole.

A short time later, a red-eyed rat crawled out of the hole, and the man stood up, grinning and squeaking, and the fangs were covered with dark green slime.

A rustling sound rippled around the rat hole.

One after another, red-eyed rats crawled out of the hole and scattered.

"Oops! Who the bites me? I don't have to find food for today's big set, I'm starved to death by this virtue! ”

A beggar who lived in the ruined temple woke up scolding, thinking that his companion had bitten him in his sleep, but when he touched behind him, he took out a huge mouse with red eyes.

"Where's the dead mouse! The living dare to bite! ”

The beggar tried to kill the mouse, but the rat bit his hand again.

The rat fled.

The beggar could only scold for a few words to relieve his hatred, and he didn't care about the wound and continued to sleep.

The life of a beggar is not worth much, and no one will go to see Lang Zhong with such a little injury.

Soon after.

The cries of beggars rang out again in the ruined temple.

An old beggar wailed miserably, and a large piece of flesh was bitten off alive by another beggar!

The other beggars were awakened.

The torches lit up, illuminating the appearance of the assailant.

After seeing this man, dozens of beggars were all gone.

The biting guy was wearing beggar clothes, the veins on his face were bulging and almost bursting, and his eyes were blood-red, like a demon.

Several beggars recognized each other as their former companions, but for some reason they became like this, so they pulled this person away and rescued the old beggar.

As a result, two more people were bitten during the pull.

"Er, dog, you're crazy! How to bite everywhere! ”

"He's not going to be sick! Eyes red! ”

"Surely I've hit the devil! Wake him up with a basin of cold water! ”

The beggars held down the biting two dogs, and someone called for a basin of cold water.

The cold water showered his head, not only did not wake up the two dogs, but inspired the two dogs to have greater strength, and they broke free at once, biting people when they saw them, until the neck of the beggar who was playing cold water was bitten off!

The sound of human heads hitting the ground woke up a group of beggars.

"Murder!"

Some people shouted, some people fled, some people's eyes gradually turned red and they bit the living people next to them, and the broken temple was in chaos.

In a short time, dozens of beggars escaped halfway.

The rest of the beggars were all red-eyed and munched on a corpse.

The ruined temple fell silent, except for the creepy sound of chewing.

In the streets and alleys of Baiyu City, screams were heard from time to time.

A woman rushed out of the house, looking frightened and fleeing into the distance, and behind her, a man with red eyes and a hoarse growl.

In a small courtyard, a young child is curled up in a corner, trembling, and in front of him, a red-eyed mother is tearing at his father's corpse.

In the courtyard of a large mansion, two red-eyed dogs fiercely chase the owner's family, and once they are bitten, they will tear off a large piece of flesh.

In a green building, a man who was looking for pleasure suddenly found that the woman in his arms was foaming at the mouth, and then his eyes were red, and his strength became so great that he threw him back under him, biting his throat with one bite.

Tonight's Hundred Jade City is full of a strange atmosphere.

There are more and more red-eyed people, and the bloody gas is getting heavier and heavier.

……

Inn.

Looking at the thousands of mountains and rivers on the map, the clouds are at a loss.

"Otherwise, you write a letter to your father for help, we won't leave, we will live in Baiyu City, when the army will arrive, when will it leave." Cloud lacks a way.

"Taoism has paper cranes to pass on books, and Confucianism has thousands of miles to transmit sounds, but it's a pity that I haven't cultivated any means and can't use them." Mu Qingyao smiled bitterly, and then said curiously: "What means do you martial artists use to deliver the news?" ”

"Our solution is simple." Yun Que said arrogantly: "Use your legs!" ”

Mu Qingyao smiled when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes bent into crescent moons.

"There's another way to do it safely." Yun Que said: "You go incognito, find a place where no one lives for decades, and then go on the road generously when you are full of gray hair, make sure that no one pursues and kills the Red Lotus Sect." ”

Mu Qingyao's eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly.

The little county lord now really wants to open Yun Que's head and see what kind of structure is inside.

Can humans come up with this kind of ghost idea?

"Before the end of the year, I must return to the Imperial City."

Mu Qingyao said with a worried expression: "In the seventeen years of my cultivation, in the end, I need the guidance of my master to help me open the gate of heaven in order to succeed, otherwise my efforts will be wasted, and I am afraid it will be difficult to embark on the road of cultivation in the future." ”

Yun Que had no choice, and there was no other choice than to arrive in the imperial city before the end of the year.

You can only bite the bullet and hit the road.

"There are nearly four months left, but there is time, since we have to take this path, we have to find some help." Yun Que said thoughtfully.

"Do you have a helper?" Mu Qing Yao said.

"No, but you can find it, there must be brave men under the heavy money." Yun Que curled the corners of his mouth and smiled strangely.

Looking at Yun Que's smile, Mu Qingyao felt that this guy was going to pit people again, but he didn't know who was in the pit.

At this time, there was a shouting and scolding at the door of the inn.

Listening to the voice is the innkeeper, it seems that a drunk has broken into the inn.

Yun Que and Mu Qingyao didn't care at first, but soon the innkeeper's screams came.

Something happened!

The two glanced at each other and acted separately in tacit understanding.

Mu Qingyao blew out the candle as quickly as possible, and Yun Que flashed to the window and gently opened a gap.

Glancing outside, Yun Que's expression suddenly changed.
