The Eight Kings City, an important town on the southwest border of Emperor Lingwei's domain, is also one of the few large cities that has crossed the rank of general and is directly under the governance of the marshal. The five generalissimos under the throne of Emperor Lingwei are in charge of the five regions of east, west, south, north and center, and the Eight Kings City is under the jurisdiction of Marshal Xin.

After Xiao Tianhe and his party arrived at the Eight Kings City, Zhan Hongyue said to a few people: "Thank you, I am fortunate to walk with you, and I will be safe in the second half of my trip." My sister's house is in the east of the city, and it looks like we're going to have to go our separate ways. She owed a debt to a few people, and Xiao Tianhe and they all returned the courtesy.

After these days of getting along, everyone found that Zhan Hongyue's personality was quite easy-going, and the unhappiness when they met at first was probably due to being too vigilant. "The world is big, you and I meet in the water, since then, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a reunion. Zhan Hongyue said again.

Lu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Sister Hongyue, what are you talking about? Didn't you go to that distant sister? Then you will definitely live in the Eight Kings City." The Eight Kings Camp is not far away, and it will not be easy to meet in the future?"

"Oh yes, that's right, I was wrong. Zhan Hongyue smiled faintly, and her words were a little stiff.

"There will be a period later. After saying goodbye, Xiao Tianhe and the others were about to leave, when Zhan Hongyue suddenly shouted again: "Wait! Xiao Gongzi, can you take a step to speak?"

Xiao Tianhe looked back, puzzled, but still walked to the side of the road with Zhan Hongyue.

"What's the matter with Sister Hongyue?"

"I have one last thing to trust. Zhan Hongyue took out the "cursed slate" engraved with six red dots and handed it to Xiao Tianhe, "This slate will be entrusted to you in the future!"

"How can this be done? Isn't this something your deceased husband left you?"

"But not only will it do me no good, but it will bring me ruin. I'll leave it to you if you can find it useful in the future. ”

"Not to mention whether I have the chance to figure out what it is, just trying to protect it from being taken away by others is already a headache. You are afraid of annihilation, and I am afraid of it! You should find another master. Xiao Tianhe politely refused.

Zhan Hongyue lowered her head and smiled, shook her head gently, and said in a almost inaudible voice: "Xiao Gongzi, do you really not know it?" I don't dare to say if you can understand the mystery of the slate, but to protect it, it's a piece of cake for you, right?"

Xiao Tianhe was stunned for a moment, why did Zhan Hongyue say that? Could it be that she had seen through some secrets?" "Sister Hongyue, you don't want to make fun of me. My third-talent-level sword wave is purely the result of a mistake in a hurry, and the real strength is far behind!"

"Tsk, Xiao Gongzi, I've always treated you as a cheerful person, why do you still have to talk about it until now?" Zhan Hongyue said, "You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me, that red-haired demon clan is clearly your friend!

Xiao Tianhe was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "This ...... How do you know?" At the same time, he went through the scene of that day's summoning of Ao Jianwei from beginning to end, and found no flaws.

"It's eyes!" Zhan Hongyue smirked, "No matter how well disguised the other aspects are, the eyes are difficult to hide, or the easiest to miss." The eyes of the other people looked at the red-haired demon clan with horror and fear, but yours had calm and joy in their eyes. In the same way, the red-haired demon only shows a hint of friendliness when his gaze sweeps over you. I can't think of any other explanation other than that the two of you are friends. ”

"Uh......" Xiao Tianhe didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhan Hongyue stuffed the stone slab into Xiao Tianhe's hand: "Don't worry, I won't tell others." If you can make friends with the powerful demon clan, it must not be easy. This fast tablet is handed over to you from me, and perhaps it is its fate. Alright, I'm leaving, I wish you peace. After Zhan Hongyue finished speaking, she waved her hand at a few people and walked away along the street.

"Whew......" Xiao Tianhe let out a long breath, quietly put the slate into the storage ring, and returned to Liao Qifeng and the three of them.

Liao Qifeng was looking at Xiao Tianhe with a wicked smile on his face, and teased him: "Ouch, Brother Xiao, is there anything good?

"What's a good thing?" Xiao Tianhe and Zhan Hongyue had always had their backs to these people, and they shouldn't have seen the scene of delivering the slate.

Sun Hailiang poked Xiao Tianhe with his elbow: "Miss Zhan is very good, although she looks more mature than you, she still has charm, her temper is also very gentle, and she seems to be quite good at taking care of people, you don't suffer if you look for her." ”

"Hey, where do you want to go! Sister Hongyue just told me two words about the Eight Kings Camp. Xiao Tianhe lied.

Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang glanced at each other and asked in unison, "What is the matter with the Eight Kings Camp?"

"Uh...... Generally speaking, the people over there are quite strict, not good. Xiao Tianhe casually said nonsense, "Actually, it's useless to think about these things now, and the specific situation will naturally be known when you get there." ”

......

The Eight Kings Camp of the Demon Army is located on the top of a hill more than 20 miles away on the west side of the Eight Kings City, and is named because of its proximity to the Eight Kings City. The east side of the mountain is very steep, and the west side is a deep ravine, and even when you look down in the daytime, you can't see the bottom. Hundreds of zhang away from the abyss, there is another high cliff that echoes this side, and only a cable suspension bridge connects the two cliffs.

Speaking of this chain bridge, people call it "Daqian Bridge", which is named after the proverb that "there are no wonders in the world". Hundreds of zhang long chain bridge, below is a deep invisible moat, can be erected already

It's a miracle. In addition, another "strange" of Daqian Bridge is the narrow bridge deck, which is formed by six bowl-thick iron cables twisted into two strands, and then connected to the iron plate between the two strands, and the width of the iron plate is barely enough for one person to walk, which is really "narrow". The last "strangeness" of Daqian Bridge is that such a long suspended bridge has no railings and handrails! From a distance, the whole bridge looks like a thin line hanging between two cliffs, which makes people feel frightened before they even set foot on it.

The Eight Kings Camp is on the edge of the rope bridge.

Compared with the Xinwang Camp in the Take-off Cloud District, the scale of the Eight Kings Camp is much larger. As soon as Xiao Tianhe and his party reached the halfway up the hill, they were stopped by the guards of the camp, and it seemed that the territory of the Eight Kings Camp was all up the mountain.

Seeing Marshal Xin's personal approval, the guard's attitude changed from vigilance to enthusiasm, and happily led the four of them to walk around the winding mountain road for a long time before they reached the vicinity of the mountain. After observing all the way, Xiao Tianhe found that the dwellings in the camp were no longer military tents, but stone houses built after grinding mountain stones into bricks, and even several stone buildings several stories high. In addition, he also saw elegant landscapes such as stone pavilions and stone platforms along the way, and all the buildings were pure and beautiful.

In front of the stone building in the middle of the mountaintop, the guard asked Xiao Tianhe and them to wait outside first, and then went into the building to report by themselves. It didn't take long for him to run out again, and said to a few people: "Commander Zhao will come out soon, you guys wait." I'll have to go back first. ”

"I'm tired. Several people thanked each other in unison.

The guard didn't leave immediately, but looked around carefully, and then whispered: "Commander Zhao doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, you should be careful!"

Several people looked at each other, and Liao Qifeng asked puzzledly: "What's the matter?" Then Commander Zhao is in a bad mood, will he still make us angry?"

Unexpectedly, the guard nodded seriously: "There is such a possibility." In short, if Commander Zhao is in a bad mood, someone will definitely be unlucky. Do what you want. At this moment, footsteps were heard in the building, and the guards hurriedly left.

The four of them lined up at the bottom of the stairs of the building. After the door opened, a thin man came out, wearing a thick coat, pointed monkey cheeks, two mustaches, and a cyan birthmark around his left eye. Is this person Commander Zhao? The four of them all had the same thought in their hearts: "No matter how you look at this person, there is no leader of a battalion!"

Thinking about it, they still bowed: "I've seen Commander Zhao!"

The man hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I'm not Commander Zhao, you recognize the wrong person." I am the owner of the cloth village in Bawang City, a few days ago, Commander Zhao went to my store to order a lot of flower cloth, today I am here to deliver the cloth. ”

"I said, huh. Liao Qifeng said with a smile, "Since you are the boss, why do you personally climb the steep mountain to deliver the cloth?

"How dare I!" The boss walked down the steps to get closer to a few people, and said quietly, "Commander Zhao's requirements are extremely strict, and if he is not satisfied, he will be furious, and I don't feel at ease when he is handed over to the guy!" After a slight pause, he added, "In addition, Commander Zhao seems to be sluggish......, isn't it? Alas!"

It turned out that the blue spot was not a birthmark, but a black green that was beaten! Lu Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sun Hailiang couldn't help but laugh: "Commander Zhao's temper is really quite irritable, I heard the guards say that he was not in a good mood just now, but looking at your appearance, it seems that you have escaped today!"

Unexpectedly, the boss said angrily, "What a robbery, you see!" He turned around and saw a clear shoe print on the side of his buttocks.

"Haha!" the four laughed together.

The boss was so frightened that he hurriedly made a silent gesture: "Shhh

At this time, there were footsteps in the building again, and the boss immediately ran down the mountain in a panic.

Unexpectedly, before the footsteps reached the door, they suddenly stopped again, and no one came out for a long time. Xiao Tianhe, who had already heard from the two of them and led Zhao to have a bad temper, did not dare to enter the building at will, so they had to continue to wait at the door. And so on until dusk. From time to time, people passed by, but none of them came to talk.

"No, I can't help it. People who don't know still think that we have made some mistake and confessed our sins here!" Liao Qifeng said, "You guys wait here, I'll go in to see Commander Zhao!"

Sun Hailiang grabbed him: "Don't go! When the newcomer arrives in the camp, the commander will always give a dismount to taste, but at this time, we broke the rules." ”

Liao Qifeng was dissatisfied: "What rotten rules! Anyway, I am also the commander of the Xinwang Camp, when have I ever given the newcomer a taste?"

Sun Hailiang smiled "hehe": "The two of us are going to Xinwangying together, let's not talk about it for the time being." But have you forgotten? When Xiao Yan was first transferred, you managed that he couldn't drink for three years!"

"Uh...... I'm afraid he'll be greedy and mistaken in the future!"

"Someone is coming!" Xiao Tianhe said suddenly.

Unexpectedly, after the door opened, a bewitching woman came out of it. The person was still on the steps, and the rich smell of fat powder had already wafted over. The woman's long hair was braided from the earlobe down into a loose braid, which was casually wrapped around the front of her right shoulder, and a bow made of red ribbon was tied at the end of the whip. A pair of apricot eyes were half-open, as if they had just woken up, their cheeks were smeared with heavy rouge, and their lips were painted with exaggerated vermilion. She wore only a white undershirt, one hand on her hips, and the other on her braids.

"How many of you are transferred from Feiyun District?" the woman's voice was mellow and sweet, just a tone

It's lazy, but it's also full of disdain and boredom.

"Are you Commander Zhao?" asked Liao Qifeng as he stepped forward.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and he only felt a flower in front of him, and he was slapped firmly on the face. Then look at the woman still standing on the steps, as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing?" Liao Qifeng said angrily.

"Slap", it was the same situation again, and the woman greeted Liao Qifeng on the other side of his face with lightning speed.

"Next time you talk to me, remember to use 'you'!" the woman rebuked coldly. It seems that she must be the commander of Zhao.

Liao Qifeng, a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, was slapped twice by a woman, of course he felt uncomfortable, but just now he didn't even see Commander Zhao's movements clearly, so he had to hold back his anger at this time. According to his speculation, the realm of this Zhao Commander was probably at least the fifth element level. This is not unusual, how can a woman, if she has some ability, be the head of a battalion?

Commander Zhao pointed at Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang and said, "You two, your body is still quite strong, go to the stone house at the halfway slope of Nanshan to settle down now, and from tomorrow onwards, follow Captain Qian to be responsible for guarding the Nanshan camp gate." She pointed to Lu Xiaoyan again and said, "Looking at your figure, you should be quite agile on your legs, right?" You go to the fourth row of houses in front to find Captain Li, and participate in the liaison and procurement tasks with the Eight Kings City in the future." As soon as he heard that he could go down the mountain and enter the city, Lu Xiaoyan bowed happily: "Thank you, Commander Zhao!"

After the three of them said goodbye to Xiao Tianhe, they took the order and left. But Commander Zhao didn't seem to have any intention of assigning tasks to Xiao Tianhe, just squinted slightly and couldn't stop looking at him, seeing that he was uncomfortable.

The sun had already set, and the sky was getting darker, Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but ask, "Commander Zhao?"

"You're the new Ascendant of our demons, aren't you? Commander Zhao turned around and entered the stone building.

Xiao Tianhe scratched his head, why didn't Commander Zhao assign him a job? With doubts, he entered the building.

Following Commander Zhao all the way up to the highest third floor, Xiao Tianhe found that the entire floor was Commander Zhao's residence, there was no wall to divide the room, only stone pillars and beams, the "door" was the staircase, stone beds, stone tables, stone chairs, stone tables, stone benches, all kinds of stone furniture were messily scattered in the floor, and there were even stone stoves for heating and stone buckets for bathing in the corners. In addition to the messy furniture, all kinds of clothes, pouch mats, and papers are scattered all over the floor, and it is hard to imagine that this is actually a woman's bedroom.

"Just sit down. Commander Zhao sat down on the stone chair with a big grin, cross-legged, and really had no woman's reserve and cultivation.

Xiao Tianhe carefully put the fat powder box on a stone bench next to him aside, and sat down gently.

Commander Zhao smiled after witnessing his every move: "Heh, looking at your appearance, you are quite well-behaved." However, Xiao Tianhe couldn't feel the slightest smile on her face. "Since you came to the Eight Kings Camp with the approval of the Marshal, follow me in the future!"

"Thanks to Commander Zhao's love, but I don't know what I will do in the future?" Xiao Tianhe asked.

"The first thing is to stop calling me 'Commander Zhao', it's terrible!" Commander Zhao frowned, "Just call me 'Sister Zhao'!"

"Sister Zhao......" Xiao Tianhe's scalp was crispy for a while, and he was definitely not used to calling a person he had just met with such a cordial title, "But I see that other people also call you 'Commander Zhao'!"

"Those people are just my subordinates, and I still won't call me 'sister' if they want to! There are many people who want to slap me, and I hate them when I see them!" Commander Zhao was very disdainful, "You are different, your status ...... Even if it's my deputy!"

"How can I be virtuous, I am a newcomer, I deserve such a status, please Zhao ...... Commander Zhao, don't make it difficult for me. "Xiao Tianhe is self-aware, with his own strength as a one-yuan sword demon, if he becomes the deputy leader of the Eight Kings Battalion, it will definitely be difficult to convince the public. When you first arrive in a new environment, it's better to keep a low profile.

Commander Zhao sneered and said: "I see that you are also a dignified eight-foot man, why are you so timid and afraid? With me in charge, who dares to disagree? Besides, I need a shrewd and obedient deputy, and strength does not matter." Okay, give me a happy word, come and call me 'sister' if you want, and go downstairs if you don't!"

"This woman's personality is really rough...... If it was a big man, I would be happy to befriend him, but she is just a woman......" Xiao Tianhe hesitated in his heart and did not answer immediately.

Commander Zhao turned his face stiff, stood up and was about to scold him, when suddenly a voice came from downstairs: "Commander Zhao, Zheng Huaili asks to see you." ”

"It's that nasty ghost again!" Commander Zhao muttered, shouting downstairs, "Come up!" and then she pulled out a dark blue coat from the messy pile of clothes on the stone bed and wrapped it around her body. "You come with me!" she ordered Xiao Tianhe.

When Commander Zhao and Xiao Tianhe walked down from the third floor, that Zheng Huaili was already waiting at the stairs on the second floor. Xiao Tianhe took a look at him.

That Zheng Huaili is quite handsome, and his figure is also very strong, but there seems to be a hint of anger in his expression.

Xiao Tianhe nodded politely at him, but Zheng Huaili was not so friendly, he stared at Xiao Tianhe directly, without the slightest meaning of "Huaili". Xiao Tianhe didn't provoke him, and he didn't lose his respects, so he naturally wouldn't be afraid of him, so he looked at him coldly.

Commander Zhao pushed open a door on the second floor, judging from the furnishings inside, it should be a small hall for deliberations.

"Come in!" Commander Zhao's words interrupted the two of them looking at each other.

Zheng Huaili snorted coldly, pushed away Xiao Tianhe, who was about to enter the house, stepped in and closed the door first, blocking Xiao Tianhe outside.
