Chapter 5 Interception

On the path leading to Xilu, Tao Xiancheng and the three of them rode their horses and hurried quickly, this road is usually rarely visited, and today it is as deserted as ever. As the three of them were walking, a silver light suddenly flashed from the left front, flashing from under the feet of the three people. The speed of this silver light was extremely fast, and in an instant, the legs of the three war horses were cut off, and before the three of them could react, they fell to the ground with the war horses. Then, a young man suddenly flashed out from behind the tree beside the road, and rushed towards the three of them, and at the same time, his right hand flashed, and a silver long sword in his hand stabbed straight away.

Tao Xianxian's three had just fallen off their horses and had not yet come to their senses, but when they saw a flash of silver light, a silver sword had pierced into the throat of one person. Tao Xianxian came back to his senses at this time, touched his portable saber, and slashed towards the source of the long sword with a flick. A chuckle appeared at the corner of the boy's mouth, and then he jumped, dodged the attack, and drew his sword back.

At this time, the other person also came to his senses, took out his sidearm, and stood behind Tao Xianxian. At this moment, a sword roar was heard, and before the person could look back, he felt a pain in his chest, and a black sword blade stabbed into his chest from behind.

Tao Xianzhang looked back and saw that the other attendant had been killed by a middle-aged man behind him, and his heart suddenly shook and felt that the situation was not good. The two of them were extremely fast, and their swordsmanship was precise, not to mention that they were still one-on-two, which made him feel a sense of fear in his heart, and then he immediately took a few steps to the side, throwing the two aside to avoid being attacked on his back.

"I don't know who the two of you are, why did you kill the three of me?" Tao Xianzhang expressed his doubts, and at the same time wanted to delay as much as possible and wait for a turnaround.

The young man smiled slightly and said: "In the lower district, you are a mortal, with no name and no surname, but in my opinion, you seem to be a person in the army, I don't know where the general comes from, why did you come here in the poor countryside?"

"I see that the two of them are extraordinary, unlike a grass people, I am the Xilu City Warden Tao Charter, I came here for official business, I don't know where I offended the two. ”

"What I want is your words, so it seems that we are not looking for the wrong person, in fact, we are here for the same thing. The young man's eyes showed a thick murderous intent and looked at Tao Xianxian.

When Tao Xianzhang heard this, the first thing that came to his mind was the nameless formation in Keyin Village, which should be called the teleportation array at this moment. He thought for a moment, and seemed to have an answer in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Did you two come here through the formation?"

The middle-aged man said expressionlessly, "A dying person, why do you need to know so much?" Then he raised the black sword in his hand and pointed at Tao Xianxian, and the young man next to him stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Uncle Bian, you can just watch the battle from the side, you don't have to do it, let me try how good this Xilu's general ability is." ”

Tao Xianxian, who was on the other side, was slightly relieved when he heard this. Although I don't know what the opponent's skills are, it is definitely easier to come one by one than two to one, so I put the knife in front of me and prepared to meet the opponent's attack.

The young man raised the weapon in his hand and said, "It seems that you seem to know something, and this must not be known to He Xing." You just go to hell with these secrets. The moment the words fell, the young man's body was like a sword off the string, rushing forward, and at the same time stabbing the sword in his hand and going straight to the point.

Tao Xianzhang raised his sword to block the attack, but immediately after, the next sword came again, and the two fought together. The young man pressed forward step by step, and the killing move flashed, while Tao Xianzhang resisted with difficulty, and was almost stabbed by the other party several times. There were about twenty rounds, and the two pulled out the distance, Tao Xianzhang was out of breath at this time, although he was not taken advantage of by the other party, but the battle situation was obviously the opponent's advantage. He has been on the defensive for more than 20 moves, and he has no chance to counterattack at all, not to mention that the opponent is also very fast, and he may become his knife if he is not careful. Thinking of this, Tao Xianzhang no longer fought against him, but left his weapon in his hand and attacked the boy from the mana control.

When the young man saw it, he smiled secretly in his heart, and he stepped forward head-on, and tried to shake his weapon away with a vigorous slash, but he didn't expect Tao Xianxian's control ability to be quite good, and every time he shook his blade, he could quickly attack again. The young man thought that he couldn't delay too much time here, so he didn't intersect with his blade, and after flashing the opponent's attack twice, he suddenly turned around and went straight to where Tao Charter was. He was already inferior to the boy in terms of speed, but now he was dodging empty-handed, unable to parry, and after a few moves, he was restrained by the other party.

The young man let out a sigh of relief at this time and said, "I originally thought that I could get rid of you within ten moves, but now it seems that I am underestimating the enemy." Then he leaned over to Tao Xianxian's side and said softly: "I'll tell you a secret before I die, behind the teleportation array is my demon army, and before long, we will raze this place to the ground." ”

At this time, Tao Xianxian's heart was already shrouded in a shadow of death, hearing this, his heart understood everything in a trance of fear at the same time, he wanted to shout these out loud, hoping to let the fourth person except the scene know. But he no longer had this opportunity, and a silver light flashed mercilessly, taking his life and the secret of his heart at the same time.

At this time, Bian Lu, who was in the rear, picked up the luggage that Tao Charter was carrying from the ground, took a brief look, and found a report on the investigation of the formation. Demon Heart also walked in, took the report and looked at it, and said to Bian Lu: "It seems that he has found a lot of things, fortunately we intercepted him in time, otherwise these things will fall into the hands of He Xing, I am afraid that it will ruin our big things." Bian Lu nodded and said, "Young master, what should we do now?"

Demon Heart tore up the reports in his hand one by one, "Let's draw a few runes and send them to He Xing, the messier the drawing, the better, let him study it himself." ”

Bian Lu thought for a while and said: "It's not proper, so He Xing will continue to study and pay attention to this matter, in my opinion, let's draw him a few runes for the recovery of the formation, so that he thinks that this matter has been clarified, and the role and safety of the formation have been understood, so that he can put down this matter and not ask too much." ”

Demon Heart laughed and said: "What Uncle Bian said is very true, since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to you, but I will take care of the matter of sending a letter to Nahe Xing, I want to see who the city lord of Nahe is?"

Suddenly, Bian Lu seemed to think of something, and shouted to the demon heart: "Young master, don't be in a hurry to leave, we have to clean up here, it won't be good if someone finds out.....

Xilu City, the central office area, He Xing sat in his office, reading with relish, and Yu Yang sat on the other side, silent. He Xing turned a page of the book at this time, his eyes were still fixed on the words on it, but he said to Yu Yang: "You have been sitting with me for so long, don't you have to go to the barracks today?"

Yu Yang replied: "The army is just daily training, and there is nothing else to do, but there is always a bad premonition recently, feeling that something is going to happen to this Xilu, and there are always strange things happening in the past two days, which makes me uneasy." ”

"I said Lao Yu, you think you have been doing less recently, you want to be idle, just go to the West District to help do some work or something, don't scare me here, I'm getting older, I can't help but be scared. He Xing glanced at Yu Yang and said jokingly.

Yu Yang shook his head and smiled, stopped talking, stood up and walked to the window, and looked out of the window. Today's weather is not very good, there are always some clouds drifting in the sky, sometimes clear, sometimes hazy. On the bench under the tree on the side of the street, a pair of young men and women are snuggling up to each other, and the small traders and vendors on the grass in the distance are constantly hawking, and there are not a few people watching around, a prosperous scene, and on the side path, four or five children chase and play with each other, seemingly tireless. Seeing this, Yu Yang secretly said in his heart, I hope I think too much.

At this moment, the waiter outside the door walked in and said to He Xing: "There is a young man outside the door who asks to see him, saying that he is from Keyin Village and is here to deliver a letter to General Tao. ”

He Xing's eyes never left the book in his hand, but said casually: "Let him in." He Xing, who was by the window, was already extremely interested in this matter, but now when he heard the news, he immediately returned to his seat and sat down.

After a while, a young man was brought into the room by a waiter, and this person was none other than Demon Heart. After he came in, he looked around, and naturally he could see that the person sitting in the middle of the book was He Xing, the lord of Xilu City, but he didn't know who was sitting on the other side.

Before He Xing could speak, Yu Yang on the side asked first: "What did General Tao find out on this trip?" Demon Xin glanced at Yu Yang, although he didn't know who this person was, but he also seemed to be an important person. He put the investigation report that Bian Lu had prepared on the table and replied: "General Tao has investigated this array clearly and made a detailed report, he asked me to send a message to the city lord of He, the energy of the magic circle has gradually dissipated, but it has not completely collapsed, he still needs to stay for three or two days to see the aftermath." Therefore, the villain was specially ordered to send a letter to the city lord in case the city lord was worried. ”

He Xing flicked the book to the side, saw Yu Yang reach out to take the report sent by the young man, he glanced at the young man again, and asked, "I see that you are a little faceless, it seems that you are not a person under Tao Xianxian, right?"

Demon Heart was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The villain is a villager of Keyin Village, and he has never been here, so the adults feel that they are angry. ”

He Xing continued to ask: "With such government official requirements, why did the Tao Charter let you and a civilian come to serve them. ”

Demon Heart thought for a while, and replied flatly: "General Tao told us that this matter is irrelevant, and it does not involve important secrets, and General Tao said that he has other things, so he let the villain come." ”

A trace of hesitation flashed on He Xing's face, but he didn't continue to ask, turned his head to look at Yu Yang, who was flipping through the report on the side, and asked, "What is written in it?" Yu Yang said while looking at it: "There is a formation rune explode diagram inside, and there is a big comparison with the runes recorded in the book. Based on this result, it should be the recovery formation used for treatment. The charter speculated that it should be the formation left behind by someone to heal here, and at this moment the formation has gradually dissipated, and it is estimated that it will disappear completely in a few days. ”

He Xing turned his head to look at the young man again, since Tao Xianxian knew that he had found out at this time, what was he still doing in Keyin Village.

The villain didn't know, General Tao only said that he wanted to further observe the formation. ”

"Okay, I've got it all, you've worked hard, let's go down first!" After the young man left the room, He Xing turned his head and asked Yu Yang: "The charter is not an eventful person, what do you think is strange about this?"

Yu Yang put down the report in his hand, thought for a moment, and replied: "There is no suspense in this matter, there should be no need to stay in Keyin Village to observe the changes in the formation, it could be something else, but the research report of this formation is true, the handwriting on it is indeed from the hand of the charter, and it is cracked by comparing the books one by one, presumably observing the formation is just an excuse, and I don't know what else is." ”

He Xing's eyes narrowed and said, "If it weren't for the charter deliberately concealing it, there was something wrong with this young man who sent the letter." Yu Yang, go out and follow this person, see who he is, if there is no problem with this young man who sent the letter, take someone to Keyin Village to find Tao Xianxian, and see where he is famous. ”

Yu Yang thought for a while, got up in response, and walked out of the door.

Demon Heart left the office area, and after a while, he found that someone was following him, and after a little attention, he found that it was the person next to He Xing, he thought of countermeasures while walking, and said secretly in his heart: "If you have the courage, come over, I may not be defeated in your hands." So, Demon Heart walked in the direction of Kein Village, preparing to meet the general when he walked out of the city to the path.

The Demon Heart walked unhurriedly in front, admiring the sights and objects in the city along the way. Behind him, Yu Yang didn't notice anything unusual, in his opinion, the young man in front of him was a young man in the village who had never entered the city and felt fresh about everything, and he didn't feel that there was something wrong with this person like He Xing. And behind Yu Yang, Bian Lu accompanied him all the way, he felt a little ominous in his heart, but he couldn't make a rash move, he could only follow at the end and be vigilant at any time.

The three of them walked out of Xilu City like this and walked in the direction of Keyin Village.
