At the northern end of the Sara Mountains, in a house in the inner city of Spiritual Heart.

Gu Youzhi walked back and forth in the house alone, looking very anxious, and from time to time he looked out of the window, as if waiting for something.

Ever since Ander left Spiritual City, the responsibility of bringing this place has fallen to him. However, although he is a person of the Spirit King, after all, this is the territory of Xu Ting, and he basically has no status here.

After a while, through the window, he saw a man walking briskly. Seeing this person, Gu Youzhi stopped and came to the door to greet this person.

As soon as the door opened, Yi Yunhe walked in. He, like Gu Youzhi, was a close confidant of Ander who stayed by Xu Ting's side, trying to weaken his power step by step and reorganize the Wind Spirit Legion. It's just that one stayed in Spirit Heart City, Xu Ting's side, and the other stayed in the Wind Spirit Legion.

After Yi Yunhe walked into the room, he sat directly on the chair next to him, took the teacup on the table, and poured a glass of water to drink first.

"Brother Yi, what's going on in this barracks now, and how are you preparing over there. Gu Youzhi sat down next to Yi Yunhe and hurriedly asked him.

Yi Yunhe drank all the water in the cup, panted, and shook his head, "The situation is not good. The officers and men in the army basically don't agree with me, and there are even fewer teams who can obey our dispatch. Although the work on my side has been done, if no one is willing to follow us, only these subordinates brought by the two of us, we will only fall into the hands of Na Xu Ting in the end. ”

"Brother Yi, you've been in the barracks for almost three months, how can no one be willing to obey you, but you are a deputy commander of the Wind Spirit appointed by the Spirit King himself, don't you even have this bit of deterrence?" Gu Youzhi snorted coldly.

"Brother Gu, you don't know, you are not at ease in that barracks. Xu Ting sent his own brother Xu Yi to follow me almost every day, and that Pei Yunzhuo, since he came back from Xiling, he has been spreading bad words about me everywhere in the camp. With the combined efforts of these two people, I had no chance of gaining a foothold in the camp at all. It's not easy to come here to meet Brother Gu. Yi Yunhe listened to Gu Youzhi's accusation, and he was also very helpless.

Last time, he went to Xiling with the Wind Spirit Legion to exterminate the demons, but his division was unfavorable, and the troops he led were defeated in the first battle. After that, the two sides confronted each other for a long time, and there were many small frictions, but no one took advantage. After some more time, the Wind Spirit's supply line went wrong, and he had to retreat.

After returning to Lingxin, Yi Yunhe met with Gu Youzhi, who had received Ande's instructions, many times, to discuss ousting Xu Ting from power and taking over his command of Lingxin.

During this period, Xu Ting received many orders to go on the expedition, but he also used various reasons to refuse. Yi Yunhe and the two were busy teaming up to deal with Xu Ting, and they didn't raise the matter again, so the matter was hanging like this, but it also gave Xu Ting a lot of time.

"Then they won't find out about your coming to me. Hearing that Yi Yunhe was being monitored, Gu Youzhi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked.

"Every time I came out, I was extremely careful not to be noticed. However, the two of us were both dispatched here by the Spirit King, and Xu Ting is not a fool, I'm afraid he can guess that we have a relationship in private. Yi Yunhe sighed lightly.

"There are some officials in Lingxin City who have been persuaded by me to be willing to fight against Xu Ting with us. It's just that as government officials in the city, they have no real power, so I hope that Brother Yi will win over the battalion generals and fight for control of the military power. But now......" Gu Youzhi said with a long sigh, "I can't hide it, the Spirit King has ordered me many times, as long as we can fight against Xu Ting in the city, he will send troops to help, and appoint us as the Wind Spirit Orthodox Army." But the secret envoy of the Spirit King the day before yesterday arrived, and was captured by Xu Ting when he left, although I don't know what his situation is now, but I am afraid that the matter will be exposed sooner or later. That's why I urgently summoned Brother Yi to discuss the matter, if it's too late, we will be finished by Na Xu Ting's preemptive attack. Even if he doesn't embarrass us, we won't be able to pass the Spirit King's pass. ”

Yi Yunhe was shocked when he heard this, so that the two of them were now in the tiger's mouth, and if they didn't get up and resist, they would become their belly. "So what should we do now, we can't wait any longer. ”

Gu Youzhi got up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. "We can't wait any longer, we can only give it a go, and we can make as much effort as we can. When you get back, start preparing, gather all your forces, and we'll start tonight. ”

Yi Yunhe answered, got up and prepared to go out.

Gu Youzhi suddenly stopped him, "By the way, Brother Yi, you can arrange a reliable team to guard any of the main roads out of the city." If we fail tonight, we need to have a way back. ”

Yi Yunhe nodded heavily, walked out of the house directly, and disappeared from Gu Youzhi's sight.

In a palace building in the inner city, Xu Ting sat on the main seat in the center. There are about a dozen people sitting or standing under him, all of them seem to be extremely energetic, and they are all capable men who have followed Xu Ting for many years, but Xu Yi and Pei Yunzhuo are not among them.

"Brother Xu, just now my subordinates sent a message, and that kid from Yi Yunhe went to Gu Youzhi's residence again, can we just watch it like this?"

This person is of average stature, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and slightly long hair, which faintly covers one side of the eye. This person's name is Zhang Yanshao, a friend Xu Ting just met in the past two years, and the two call them brothers, and the relationship is very good.

"Don't be in a hurry, Yan Shao, it should be them who should be anxious now, we just need to dig a pit and wait for them to jump in." Xu Ting smiled, "Ander also gave me a chance, just taking advantage of this operation to eliminate those who can't be used by me, so that this place can also be changed." In the future, this spiritual heart city will really become our world. ”

A dry cough came, and an old man interjected in the seat below. "Xu Ting, if you get this piece of the world, I hope you don't do whatever you want. Since ancient times, self-centered rule has not lasted long. ”

The old man who spoke can be said to be the most senior among everyone, this person is Xu Ting's uncle, named Xu Ting. After Xu Ting's father died five years ago, Xu Yu became the elder in the family. Although his ability is average, and his identity is not as good as Xu Ting, he has the largest seniority, so Xu Ting also respects him very much on weekdays.

"Uncle rest assured, Xu Ting knows what to do. However, I still have a lot to be desired, and I hope that my uncle will be able to help me a lot in the future. Xu Ting said politely.

Xu Yu sighed and said, "I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much, and the world will still be you young people in the future." As for the contribution, leave it to the little girl Xu Xin. As he spoke, he looked at a woman beside him.

Xu Yu only has such a daughter, Xu Xin, she is quite younger than Xu. Hearing his father say this, Xu Xin hurriedly nodded in response.

A sergeant walked through the door and stopped when he was still far from the crowd. "City Lord, there are people outside the door who ask to see him, claiming to be from the demon clan. ”

"Let them in. Xu Ting did not hesitate and directly passed the order. They came at the right time, just in time for today, and they can help me a little.

After a while, two people walked in outside, one of them was Bian Lu of the Demon Clan, Xu Ting had seen it before, and the other person looked very angry.

"General Bian, it's been a long time. I don't know what to do today. Xu Ting said to Bian Lu with a smile.

"In the last battle of Xilu, we haven't thanked the Xu City Lord's men for showing mercy. Recently, I heard that Lingxin City is uncertain, and my king specially ordered the two of us to come here to help help the Lord of Xucheng solve the chaos here. Bian Lu also replied with a smile.

Xu Ting's mind turned, this is to stare at me, afraid that if I don't do anything, it will affect their plan. If all goes well, you'll be able to make some profit. But how can I be so stupid, I still need their help.

"It's really not been peaceful here lately, but the two of you come here, I'm afraid you won't be able to help. Xu Ting wanted to ask how many people Bian Lu had brought.

Bian Lu smiled, "Although there are few people, their strength is extraordinary." In addition to the two of us, there are also a hundred brothers scattered around, who can help the Lord of Xucheng do some small work and be unprepared. As he spoke, he pointed to the person beside him, "Let me introduce to the Lord of Xucheng first, this is He Junren, a general in my clan, who has just entered the spirit." The city lord should not underestimate him, if there is any task, just arrange it. ”

Xu Ting smiled silently and thought for a moment, "Okay, since the demon lord helps Xu so much, I might as well obey it respectfully." Something may happen in the city tonight, and there are twelve main roads out of the city to the west, each of which is guarded. But if you don't know which one has a problem at night, it is very likely that the prey will be released, and I hope that General Bian can help hold this problematic line. ”

"What's so hard about this, it's up to us. Bian Lu seems to be confident.

"Okay, then please rest in the city at will, and we'll see you in the evening. ”

Bian Lu and He Junren said goodbye and walked out of the palace.

After Xu Yu watched the two of them walk out, he said to Xu Ting: "Xu Ting, I also want to remind you that the heart of a foreigner should not be gullible. The Demon Yuan can help us for a while, but they can't help us for a lifetime, and I don't know when they will bite us in turn. Now you have to be careful when working with them. ”

"Uncle rest assured, Xu Ting knows it. Between the two of us, it's just a mutual use. After it was done, either he bit me or I bit him. Xu Ting laughed out loud as he spoke.

A burly man behind Xu Yu said: "Brother Xu, that Gu Youzhi and Yi Yunhe were arranged here by Ande, if they escape, they should go to the east of the Heavenly Spirit, why let that Bian Lu go to guard the west road." "This big man's name is Qi Peng, and he is a soldier who has followed Xu Yu for many years. After a long time, Xu Yu treated him as a family member and stayed in his house.

"Well, you'll find out then. Xu Ting smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then turned to Zhang Yanshao, "By the way, Yan Shao, you send a letter to the military camp and tell Xu Yi and Yun Zhuo that they are going to do it tonight, let them not stare at Yi Yunhe too closely tonight, and also leave him a chance to do it." ”

Zhang Yanshao nodded, turned around and walked out of the hall.
