Chapter 31 Guanlan

Hundreds of miles southwest of Hot Spring Pass, there is a lake called Black Fire Lake.

This lake is not water, but is a viscous, glued semi-solidified liquid, the color is like ink, the tentacles are like wax, extremely viscous, it is called black mud by the world, the whole lake is like a huge basin, people and horses can't do it, boats and boats are difficult to cross, and it becomes a Jedi.

There is a strange smell in the black mud, very flammable grease, as long as the pit is dug in the black mud, it can slowly overflow, the water can not be extinguished, the sand is difficult to extinguish, it is the most commonly used fire oil in the entire western and northern battlefields, and it plays a very huge role in the battle with the demon clan.

The ancients didn't know what it meant, but the six ugly were not, and then they recognized the truth of this thing, the whole lake is a natural asphalt mine, and the fire oil floating on it is an unrefined mixture of various phenyls, similar to the mixture of modern gasoline and diesel.

Born out of the need for fire oil, the Terrans built a city here, escorted prisoners to work here, scooped up the oil from the lake, made wooden barrels, sent it to the hot spring passes, and then transported it to various places. Because the lake is vast and the oil is easy to obtain, countless displaced people come here to make a living and beg for food.

When the six uglies and the two demons arrived at the Black Fire City, it was already evening, and the beasts were walking in the wilderness, and from a distance, they could see the lanterns hanging at the head of the city, and the yellowish halo was bright in this night, which made people feel at ease.

Arrived at the city gate, someone shouted on the city tower, asked about the identity, the six ugly will be checked, passed into the hanging basket, sent to the city for verification, soon the city gate opened, the three demons rode into the city.

The black fire oil is very useful, and this place is at the forefront of the western border, so there is a brigade of 500 people stationed here all year round, but because the demon clan is not very interested in fire oil, there are few wars here, and after aging, these 500 people have gradually become sluggish, replacing from the main battle army to a miscellaneous card, and the task has become to maintain order in the city, rather than fighting.

However, with the advent of the interception and other times, the whole city suddenly had a certain tense atmosphere, so the city gate was closed early and the night patrol was increased, but after all, the battle formation had been absent for a long time, and its professionalism was still far inferior to others.

If it were other cities in the west, it would open at night, and some people would just put down the hanging basket.

asked where to go, and Liuchou rejected the suggestion that the city gate hundred schools send someone to lead the way, and only asked him to arrange for the emperor to rest, and return tomorrow, and he went alone with Mo Yun and Jinyan.

The city wall in the black fire city is as high as more than three zhang, quite strong, the population is large, although the city is not large, but because the fire oil is easy to obtain, so the population in the city far exceeds other cities, in addition to the main street around the houses are still relatively clean and wide, the rest of the place is filled with all kinds of shacks, grass huts, the road is narrow and difficult to travel, showing a very typical slum scene.

The night was dark, but the slums were still full of dim oil fires, some workshops were working around the clock, some of the homeless people who had been paid were still drunk, and the white-powdered warblers were sitting at the door wrapped in dirty arrowroot, saving all the effort to put on and take off, and only shouting to the passers-by, giggling.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell, not all of the phenyl smell of the Black Fire Lake, but some kind of smell mixed with inferior head oil, rotten food, and fermented sake lees, which was rich and pungent, and extremely unpleasant.

All the fat alleys of the main street were lined with people, or drunk, or vagrants, who were lying on the hand, and they were not even qualified to be secretly killed, and they were lying and asleep, and they did not even know whether they were alive or dead, and what tomorrow would be.

When the six ugly walked, someone peeped at him from time to time in the alley next to him, although the six ugly and Mo Yunju had changed their human shapes, but Mo Yun's burly figure of more than seven feet still gave them a great shock, although there were many snoopers all the way, but no one moved.

These people are like greedy rats living in the garbage heap, they are extremely vicious when they are weak, they can even eat and swallow their bones, but they are extremely careful in the face of the strong, and they dare not act rashly.

The six ugly did not stop for a moment, and came directly to the front of a huge wooden gate on the main street, and there was no one on the left and right, and his ears moved slightly, and he immediately stopped preparing to knock on the door.

Then, an obese man came out of the neighbor's gatehouse, trotted all the way to the six ugly, and hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to Lord Hou, the villain is a hundred schools here, and he made a special trip to greet the adult." ”

The six ugly looked at it a little, and found that the strength of this fat man was extremely poor, if it was for the monsters, at most it was equal to the demon beasts in the transformation period, and this kind of strength could sit in the western realm to the hundred schools, but it confirmed the ineffectiveness of the guards of the Black Fire City.

The six ugly didn't want to say more about it, but only asked, "Where are the others?"

"Others ......"

"Everyone else has left, and I'm the only one left waiting for you. A voice came from the side, and the six ugly turned around and saw a lean man, twenty-three or four, pushing the door out with a hippie smile. He was dressed in a full placket with a long hip, covered with leather armor, a pair of round heart guards on his chest, and the key parts of the wallet were decorated with fine scales of copper plates, and the placket was tied in a ring.

The leather armor is wrapped in scales, supplemented by a chest mirror, which is the standard attire of a Hou general, and the six ugly have seen it in Inuqiu, but he is too short and has no suitable size, so he can only give up.

It's just that this shirt is worn on him, unbuttoned, untidy, vulgar, loose and prodigal, that has the appearance of the elite of Tianshan Escape, and there are only more clothes than the street splash.

And behind him were seven or eight followers, and sure enough, there were generals and pawns, who were also unpleasant, standing crookedly and distorted, with idleness on their faces, and even some people had bad eyes, blatantly scanning up and down, their eyes full of provocation.

And when they stood like this, they had blocked all the doors.

The six ugly smiled slightly, and the people who came, including his entourage, seemed unbearable, but the faint smell of blood on his body clearly told him that these people were all elite soldiers who had experienced the baptism of war and came out of the sea of blood.

The six ugly smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "General Hou, six ugly." ”

"I know you," the young man shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I am also a Hou general, my name is Guanlan......" He pretended to be full of distress and continued: "This time, there are three generals who have come here with the ghosts, and six of you and I have been assigned to the inner marquis, and now the rest have all been assigned, so I will wait for you here, stationed in the city, and cleanse the surroundings. ”

I didn't expect that such a person who jumped off would have such an elegant name, which surprised the six ugly people, but what made him feel even more strange was the military order issued, which was really puzzling that such an urgent move was only for stationing.

"Stationed?" the six ugly subconsciously repeated.

"Yes, stationed, the drudgery of not having a chance to make war merits, not only me, but also the second and third sons are sad in their hearts......" Guanlan's face was melancholy, looked up at the sky, and then coughed heavily, and said: "So I can only try my best to boost the morale of my followers, can the six ugly brothers understand my hard work?"

The six ugly smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Guanlan's move is very ...... Presumably, the people who were invited to boost morale in the courtyard have already been packed, I wonder if Brother Guanlan can let me in to rest?"

"Ah, is it all right...... Oh, the six ugly brothers are really kind, please hurry up, please!" Guanlan immediately put on a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and waved inward, inviting him to enter, and those followers also gave way one after another, and opened the middle door.

The six ugly followed Guanlan inside, and immediately saw a pair of belly pockets hanging on the tree, and in the hidden door next to it, the sound of whispering was broken, and dozens of pairs of eyes were peeking through the cracks in the window, with bright eyes and ignorant eyes, and I don't know how he found so many beautiful warblers in such a city.

Obviously, the six uglies stopped just now because they heard the beautiful sound in the courtyard and had already noticed it.

Guanlan saw that the six ugly people had insight into the key to this, and they did not hide it, so they generously invited: "Brother Six ugly, are you willing to boost the morale of the army together?"

The six ugly smiled and shook his head, it was not that he had any resistance to this or anything else, but that he had cultivated the Ten Thousand Demon Decisive on the Gan Tuan all day, and he still wanted to rest, and although he had good combat strength, he was still young, and he didn't have much of a hobby about it.

Seeing that the six ugly were unwilling, Guanlan didn't invite each other anymore, but just pointed to the few side rooms next to him, and said: "All the wings on the left are yours, use them at will, just if you want to eat......" He snorted, and then said: "Fang just felt that those people were in the way, and they all went out, I'm afraid that you can only send someone to do it yourself, Brother Liuu!"

"It doesn't matter. The six ugly nodded, turned around and walked towards the wing, and Guanlan behind him was still standing in place and shouting to himself:

"Good brother, today and wronged, tomorrow I will set the wine for you to ......"

Before the words fell, a woman's exclamation came, but the attendants couldn't hold it back, and they had rushed into the room like hungry wolves, stripped off the clothes wrapped around their bodies, and began to rejoice on the spot, and the women were surprised and delighted, and they were all disgusted.

There was no word all night, and the six ugly Moyun and others fell asleep soundly, without being disturbed by the shouting all night, and the dream was bright.

The next day, it wasn't until noon that the six ugly people had a good talk with the sleepy-eyed Guanlan and figured out the various joints of this military order.

According to Guanlan, Da Zhou intended to strengthen the security and defense around the Black Fire City, but he could not be transferred from the nearby cities and Hot Spring Pass, so he chose to ask Tianshan Dun to send a general to garrison it to ensure its safety temporarily.

To put it simply, the purpose of Tianshan Shan to escape here is to defend the safety of Black Fire City, and it is unknown why he suddenly issued this military order.

Because it is transferred from within the Great Zhou, even if there is a Treasure Machine Beast, the time required is enough for two months, and during this time, the safety of the entire Black Fire City will be handed over to the Interceptor, but the Interception's view on this is completely different from that conveyed by the Great Zhou military order, according to the thinking of Tianshan Escape, there is only one way to go!

Kill!

Since you are afraid that the demon clan will threaten the safety of Black Fire City, why don't you just kill all the surrounding demon clan gathering places?

Intercepting what he thought, but he was most in line with Tianshan Dun's way of action, so he didn't say much after he arrived, and immediately divided the second general and Hou Jiang into four teams, three teams went out to strangle, and one team was kept as backup, and Liuchou and Guanlan were the candidates he selected to be stationed.

What remained in the hands of the two generals was only his own entourage, and the 500 soldiers of the brigade in the city whose combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the pavilion soldiers.
