Late at night, there is wind and no moon.

A figure floated down silently from the head of Xian'an City, without alarming the Changguo defenders at the head of the Xian'an city wall, let alone being discovered by the Zheng Guo soldiers who were surrounded outside the city.

Figures fell on the open space below the city where the two armies clashed in the daytime, and on the ground, thousands of corpses were still lying on the cold ground. Some of these corpses belonged to Changguo's cavalry, but more were Zhengguo's sergeants.

Because the crossbowmen on both sides were on guard at all times, as long as someone on the other side broke into the middle ground, it would be a rush of fire, so neither Chang Guo nor Zheng Guo went to carry the corpses, and the corpses were still exposed there.

The figure that fell from the head of Xian'an City was the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi who had the dual identities of Jade Bone Mountain and Dark Alliance, and after he landed, he took out a round bead the size of a goose egg, and the bead was pitch black, so black that it made people's hearts palpitate.

The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi held the bead in one hand, chanting words in his mouth, and then, from the lying corpses on the ground, a cloud of humanoid white mist slowly rose, and its shape and appearance were exactly the same as the corpses, and these white mist were the souls of these war dead who had not completely dispersed.

These souls were all muddy, lured by the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi in a strange way, and approached the middle-aged man with his eyes closed, and as soon as he got close to the middle-aged man, he was inhaled by the pitch-black beads.

After the soul was sucked into the pitch-black bead, it suddenly opened its eyes, a look of horror and pain appeared on its face, and its hands desperately groped around inside the bead, trying to find a way out, but in vain, the soul that was sucked into the bead could never come out.

In a matter of moments, thousands of souls were sucked clean by the beads, which were densely packed with desperate souls.

"It's not enough for this little dead soul, we have to let them kill more fiercely!" The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi muttered to himself, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

The outside of Xian'an City was besieged by Zheng Guo's army, but there was no panic in the city, and the people in the city should eat and drink, and life was still going on normally.

In the face of war, Xian'an City is so stable, thanks to Gao Liansheng. Gao Liansheng expected it at the beginning of the war, and stockpiled enough grain and grass for the people of Xian'an City to eat and chew for a month in advance, and repeatedly publicized that Changguo's reinforcements were on the way, which calmed the people's hearts.

At the same time, in yesterday's battle, Situ Lei led a thousand cavalry to fight in and out of Zheng Guo's army, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders of Xian'an City, and also reassured the residents of Xian'an City, thinking that it was only a matter of time before Zheng Guo's army was repulsed.

At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, a conversation full of gunpowder was going on. And the two sides of the conversation, one is Gao Liansheng, the city lord of Xian'an City, and the other is dressed in green clothes, with a thin body, a scar on his jaw that looks like an earthworm, and a diamond-shaped bone fragment that looks like white jade tied around his waist, he is the deputy mountain master of Jade Bone Mountain, Chen Shu.

It's just that what Gao Liansheng and Jade Bone Mountain don't know is that Chen Shu also has an identity, that is, the three-star secret envoy of the Dark Alliance.

"Master Chen, what happened yesterday, I hope you can give me an explanation? Why did you watch our soldiers fall into the enemy and not come to the rescue? If it weren't for the black-faced man who suddenly appeared and attracted the three storm beasts, I am afraid that none of our thousand soldiers would have been able to come back! Gao Liansheng's face was very ugly.

"City Lord Gao, I have already told you, our Jade Bone Mountain only guarantees not to let the people of Fire Lotus Valley enter Xian'an City, and we don't care about other things, this is the agreement between our Jade Bone Mountain and the royal family of your country." Chen Shu responded lightly, his gaze staring at the steaming teacup in front of him.

"Hmph, the monks of the Fire Lotus Valley helped Zheng Guo to hit the gate of Xian'an City, and even tortured and killed our soldiers outside the city, but you people from Jade Bone Mountain stood aside and watched coldly? It is your Jade Bone Mountain that is bent on promoting the war, and it is your Jade Bone Mountain who is watching from the sidelines. The contradiction between your Jade Bone Mountain and the Fire Lotus Valley is a matter between your Yuan Xiu sect, why do you want to involve our Changguo and Zheng Guo? The smell of gunpowder in Gao Liansheng's tone was very strong.

"Lord Gao, please pay attention to your words. The war between Chang and Zheng was instigated by our Jade Bone Mountain? Before, when we were not involved in secular disputes in Jade Bone Mountain and Fire Lotus Valley, we didn't see your Changguo and Zheng Guo's neighborly harmony, and you didn't have a fight every once in a while. Why is the battle a little bigger, and the responsibility is pushed on our Jade Bone Mountain? Chen Shu still spoke in an unhurried tone, and his eyes did not leave the teacup in front of him.

Gao Liansheng's face turned blue with anger, and he said angrily: "If it weren't for your Jade Bone Mountain pulling out more than ten outposts of Zheng Guo overnight, Zheng Guoguo would attack Xian'an City so recklessly, and even Fire Lotus Valley would join in?" ”

Chen Shu finally took his eyes off the teacup, he raised his head to look directly at Gao Liansheng, and said slowly: "City Lord Gao, you have to talk about evidence, if you still slander our Jade Bone Mountain so rootlessly, then I have to go to your royal family to ask for an explanation!" ”

"Humph!" Gao Liansheng snorted coldly, then got up and walked to the window, looked at the distant mountains without saying a word, and no longer paid attention to Chen Shu, the meaning of sending off guests was very obvious.

"City Lord Gao, you and I are just acting on orders, you don't have to have such a big prejudice against me. We should cooperate sincerely, so that we can repel the Zheng army and thwart the Fire Lotus Valley. The person who attracted the three frightened beasts yesterday is likely to have entered Xian'an City, and asked the city lord Gao to send more people to find him, this person's origin is unknown, if you don't find out the bottom carefully, it is a big hidden danger. Chen Shu also stood up.

"There is no need to be reminded by the mountain lord Chen in this matter, as soon as there is news, I will send someone to inform the mountain master, and I will not send it!" Gao didn't even go back.

Chen Shu looked at Gao Liansheng's back, a weird smile appeared on his face, and then he slowly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion with his hands behind his back.

……

Lin Yang looked at the wooden house on the edge of the forest from a distance, he recalled that more than half a year ago, he was chased and killed by Ji Chengkang of the Jade Bone Mountain Yuan Xiu and hid in the Fang family in Xian'an City for refuge, and successfully used the Fire Lotus Valley Yuan Xiu Cheng Gong to contain Ji Chengkang, but he fainted on the street due to the exhaustion of his injuries, and it was Situ Lei who woke him up and took him to the wooden house here to heal.

"Is it Brother Lin Yang?" As soon as Lin Yang walked to the door of the wooden house, he heard a voice coming from inside the wooden house, it was Situ Lei.

Lin Yang pushed the door and went in, and saw Situ Lei struggling to sit up from the bed.

"Brother Situ, don't act rashly, it's important to recuperate!" Lin Yang helped Situ Lei to lie down, and said with a smile: "I still remember the last time we separated, it was me lying on this bed, who would have thought that when we met again, the person lying on the bed became Brother Situ." ”

"Haha,......。" Situ Lei laughed, but accidentally triggered the injury and coughed repeatedly.

"Brother Lin Yang, how did you become like that yesterday? If I hadn't remembered your voice, I would have thought I was hallucinating? Situ Lei finished coughing and asked slowly.

"That's because I took an elixir called the Transept Pill, which was able to change my body and appearance in a short period of time." Lin Yang responded with a smile.

"Yi Rong Dan? Tsk, Yuan Xiu's things are really not ordinary. Situ Lei was amazed, and then asked, "Brother Lin Yang, what's the matter with those three Yuan Beasts?" Why are they chasing you? ”

Lin Yang couldn't explain it clearly to Situ Lei for a while, so he had to say: "On the way back, I accidentally alarmed them, and I guess it was because I made them sleepy, these three beasts were very grudgeful, so they chased and killed me all the way." If it weren't for the war between you and Zheng Guo, I don't know when I would be able to get rid of them. ”

"Brother Lin Yang, the power of these primordial beasts is too terrifying, you better be careful in the future, don't provoke these beasts again." Situ Lei was clearly apprehensive about the might of the Storm Beast.

The three storm beasts almost controlled a war, and for a battle-hardened person, it must have been shocking.

"By the way, Brother Lin Yang, why are you back? Have you learned the real thing? Isn't that nonsense I'm asking? The Lin Yang brothers were able to escape from the hands of those three terrifying Yuan Beasts, so they naturally learned the real skill! Situ Lei asked himself.

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Naturally, I have learned some skills, but it is only a scratch of the surface. This trip back is because I received a trip to the sect and the location happened to be in Changguo, so I took this opportunity to come back and have a look. I'm going to go back to the Danxia faction after a while. ”

"That's good, that's good!" Situ Lei breathed a sigh of relief, his expression as if the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.

Lin Yang naturally knew why Situ Lei had such an expression, Situ Lei was worried that Lin Yang was driven out by the Danxia faction, after all, in his memory, Lin Yang only had a bright vein, and Yuan Xiu's qualifications were low.

Actually, Situ Lei still wanted to ask Lin Yang if he would go to the Lin family, but when he thought that it was someone else's housework after all, it was better for him not to ask too much, so he swallowed the words back to his mouth.

"Brother Situ, how could Zheng Guo attack Xian'an City on such a large scale this time?" Lin Yang expressed the doubts in his heart. In his impression, Zheng Guo and Chang Guo have always been not in harmony, but they are often just some stumbling small frictions, even if it is the largest conflict, the troops invested by both sides will not exceed 1,000. But now outside Xian'an City, there are at least 100,000 troops stationed, with a posture of uprooting Xian'an City.

Situ Lei sighed and said, "Not long ago, more than a dozen outposts on the border of Zheng Guo and our Changguo were all uprooted overnight, and none of the sergeants in the outposts survived. Where can Zheng Guo swallow this breath, and immediately recruit a large army to declare war on our country, and there is a situation where the troops are besieging Xian'an City. Originally, I guessed that this matter might be caused by Jade Bone Mountain, because Jade Bone Mountain had been pushing the royal family to start a war against Zheng Guo before, but the royal family had never made up their minds. Yesterday, when I saw the Yuan Xiu of Jade Bone Mountain and Fire Lotus Valley appear on the battlefield, I was convinced that it must be Jade Bone Mountain who pulled out Zheng Guo's outpost, and they had the strength and motive. ”

"Jade Bone Mountain has never been involved in mundane disputes, why is it now trying to encourage Chang Guo and Zheng Guo to go to war?" Lin Yang frowned, he felt that there must be something strange in it.

Situ Lei shook his head, and then said, "I heard from the Gao City Lord, saying that after the Jade Bone Mountain added a new deputy mountain master, the Jade Bone Mountain began to be keen on promoting the war between Changguo and Zheng Guo. Moreover, the deputy gate master of the Jade Bone Mountain mentioned by the high city lord came to Xian'an City not long ago, and I have seen him from afar. ”

"Oh!" Lin Yang speculated that the problem might be with the newly appointed deputy sect master of Jade Bone Mountain.

"Brother Situ, since the Jade Bone Mountain and the Fire Lotus Valley have come to an end, you should be more careful in the future battles, and try to avoid these Yuan Xiu!" Lin Yang was really a little worried about Situ Lei, but he knew that with Situ Lei's temperament, as long as he went to the battlefield, how could he avoid fighting without fighting, yesterday outside Xian'an City, even in the face of the powerful Fire Lotus Valley Yuan Ji Realm Yuan Xiu, Situ Lei did not launch a charge that was close to suicide without hesitation.

Situ Lei nodded and said, "Brother Lin Yang, you don't have to worry, look at the way I look now, how can I participate in the war?" ”

"Brother Situ, these three fruits are for you, don't eat them all at once, their medicinal power is too great, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." You eat each fruit in three parts. Lin Yang handed Situ Lei three fruits, which were Jin Fengti.

Jin Fengti was a priceless treasure to Yuan Xiu, but Lin Yang gave Situ Lei three without even blinking an eye. Lin Yang gave Situ Lei three Golden Wind Grapes, and he also considered it, his own physique, after eating six Golden Wind Grapes, there would be no effect if he ate them again, Situ Lei estimated that only three of them were enough.

Situ Lei looked at Jin Fengti, which was as big as a broad bean and had yellow and thin skin, and knew that this thing was extraordinary. He excused himself again and again: "Brother Lin Yang, this thing is too valuable, I can't ask for it." I'm just an ordinary man, wouldn't it be a waste for you to give me such a precious thing, keep it for yourself! ”

After speaking, Situ Lei pushed Lin Yang's hand back with Jin Feng, and refused to accept it.

"Brother Situ, it's just a few ordinary fruits, it's not valuable, you can hold it with peace of mind. Moreover, you saved my life. Even the most precious treasure can be worth my life? Moreover, these three fruits are of no use to me. Lin Yang handed Jin Feng Ti over again, he deliberately said that Jin Feng Ti was an ordinary fruit, the purpose was to not bring too much psychological pressure to Situ Lei. If Situ Lei knew that Jin Fengti was a treasure that made Yuan Xiu blush, Situ Lei would definitely be killed and would not want it.

"Brother Lin Yang, I saved you, you also saved me yesterday, neither of us owes anyone. You still keep these three fruits. I know that Yuan cultivation costs a lot of money. Even if you don't need these three fruits, you can use them to exchange them for other things you need or yuanshi. Situ Lei still refused.

"Brother Situ, if you accept these three fruits, I will return you as a brother and a big brother. If you don't accept it, let's change the title now, you still call me Lin Yang, and I still call you General Situ! ”

After speaking, Lin Yang handed Jin Feng to Situ Lei again.

"What's going on? Why are you still in a hurry! Aren't they just three fruits? I even dare to break through Zheng Guo's 100,000 army, and I don't dare to accept your three fruits? Situ Lei glared at him, and took the three golden winds away.
