Chapter 404: Conspiracy to find a way out
The evacuation of the garrison of the northern capital county is of great significance to the southern county.
Perhaps behind this seeming calm, there is a more turbulent undercurrent.
Liu Hu was stubborn and self-serving, leading the team with the intention of making meritorious contributions.
Unexpectedly, when I met the boy waiting here, my enthusiasm turned into horror.
To deal with this team, it didn't take much effort, and Liu Humeng and his party were captured.
"What the hell do you want. Liu Humeng also tasted the taste of being a prisoner, looked at the young man in front of him, and shouted with little confidence.
The squad of Nanlin County was all tied up with flowers, and they were surrounded in a heap.
"Commander Liu likes to fight and kill so much, he never thought that there would be such a day sooner or later. Ruan Ruan smiled and squatted down and patted Liu Humeng's shoulder.
The young man's hands did not have the slightest strength, as if he were an old friend, gentle and warm.
"We have sworn allegiance to Nanlin County, and we have long put life and death out of the way. Liu Hu's eyes were wide open, but he couldn't hide the panic in his heart.
"Your life and death have no effect on the whole situation, and the only sad person is your family. ”
Ruan Ruan shook her head, as if she was laughing at Liu Humeng's childishness.
Everyone is a pawn in war, playing a role of different weights.
A monk like Liu Humeng, who is at the forefront, is cannon fodder to put it bluntly.
It's a pity that people are in the game, and they can't help themselves.
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.
It is not an easy thing to make a contribution, and it depends on a lot of luck.
The confrontation between the two armies is only a preliminary test by both sides.
Really fighting, fighting wits and courage.
Only when you are in prison can you feel the bitterness.
"This war itself is a misunderstanding. Are you willing to sacrifice, or willing to fight. ”
A meaningless war cast a shadow over the beautiful Yunzhou.
How many people have left their homes, and how many families have died.
Ruan Ruan deeply understands the turmoil brought about by the war, and in the face of foreign invasions, he stands up to survive.
Being under the same sky was originally a scene of peaceful coexistence.
Driven by desire and ambition, it is not heartbreaking to raise a weapon in the face of one's own kind.
Many remained silent, asking themselves in secret.
They have no way to prevent the war from starting, but they have the right to choose to let it end.
"Get up, and I'll send you back. ”
Ruan Soft's words have been pointed, and all that remains is for them to think for themselves.
Liu Humeng was a little incredulous, and forgot to get up for a while.
Ruan Ruan gently lifted Liu Hu up and dusted off his body.
The thousand-strong team followed Ruan Ruan and walked slowly in the direction he came.
Zhao Jifeng saw Ruan Ruan's figure from a distance, bathed in the sunset, gradually elongated with the soft light.
The young man's steps are unhurried, as if he has crossed time and space.
The whole person is integrated into the surrounding scenery, and it seems that the distant mountains are unchanged for eternity.
I can't feel the fierce momentum from the boy, but it can't be despised either.
It seems to be far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, leaving only ethereal and quiet.
Liu Humeng's team followed behind with their heads down, completely devoid of the arrogance they had when they went.
Zhao Jifeng walked out of the camp lightly, and the monks of Nanlin County behind him also came out to look.
The two teams met in front of the camp and watched each other silently.
"You're here. Zhao Jifeng showed a rare smile and said softly.
"I'm coming. Ruan Ruan nodded.
"There seems to be progress over there. Zhao Jifeng asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes, fortunately. Ruan Ruan exhaled softly, looking extremely relaxed.
The monk next to him had already recognized this young man, and it was with his own strength that he blocked the attack of thousands of monks in Nanlin County.
The hidden dialogue between the two made everyone scratch their heads.
"I remember what you said, and I'm sure you won't let me down. Zhao Jifeng said quietly.
Ruan Ruan's eyes were clear and he looked into the distance.
The two of them stood silently like this, and there was a quiet place between heaven and earth.
Only a breeze blew through the boy's hair.
"These people are all your subordinates, and they are used in exchange for the monks of the Northern Capital County. Ruan Ruan finally spoke and made a request.
Zhao Jifeng understood and ordered his subordinates to release the imprisoned people of Beidu County.
The two opposing forces completed the exchange just before the camp.
Ruan Ruan turned around and left with the monks of Beidu County, leaving only one sentence.
"Three days later, I'd like to invite Lord You Madness to come here. ”
I believe that Zhao Jifeng will convey his meaning to the county lord of Nanlin County.
If the grievances between the two sides are to be settled completely, it is necessary to negotiate between the top leaders.
The withdrawal of the defensive garrison from the northern capital gun is a sign of an armistice.
The use of the monks of Nanlin County to exchange prisoners is also the sincerity of turning hostility into friendship.
Zhao Jifeng looked at the young man's distant back, and his eyes showed determination.
It is bordered by the county government to the south.
Zhao Jifeng took Liu Hu to see You Crazy.
"Beidu County is so arranged, will there be any conspiracy. You Madness touched his sparse beard and said thoughtfully.
"Lord Qiyu, that young man is the one who assisted Wei Qingyang to escape, and his subordinates have also been planted in his hands one after another. Liu Humeng replied truthfully.
"Steward Zhao, you have also been in contact with that young man, so you know his origin. You Madness became interested in the mysterious teenager.
Zhao Jifeng arched his hand and said: "According to what he said, he is from outside Yunzhou. His cultivation is superb, and even I am no match for him. However, he did not embarrass the monks of Nanlin County, otherwise the power of one person would have allowed me to wait for the entire army to be annihilated. ”
You Crazy knew that Zhao Jifeng didn't like to exaggerate, and he was deeply disturbed.
"Beidu County has this person to help, why did he lower his posture again. You Crazy is also a little unclear about the development of the situation.
Zhao Jifeng saw that You Mad's attitude had loosened, and hurriedly said: "The young man is not partial to the side of Beidu County, including the withdrawal of Beidu County, it also comes from his local support. ”
You Madness was a little stunned, and was very puzzled by the young man's actions.
"According to our subordinates, this may be an opportunity to resolve our grudge with Beidu County. All kinds of signs of the other party are showing favor to us. Zhao Jifeng observed the words and said what he thought in his heart.
You Madness glanced at Liu Humeng, as if he had the intention of inquiring.
"Lord County, according to the past practice, it is true that there is no such thing as today. When his subordinates fell into the hands of the enemy, he had no hope of survival. The camp in the Northern Capital County was empty, and if it wanted to provoke a dispute, it would not easily abandon the position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
Liu Humeng knew that the realm of the young man was far above everyone else.
I really want to be wrong, and I don't have to play any tricks.
You Crazy was silent, pacing back and forth.
The fact that the Northern Capital County has a strong helper and can take the initiative to evacuate speaks for itself.
Obviously, this help is not under the control of Beidu County.
So what did the boy want?
The two don't help each other.
This is the most likely.
The greater the ability, the more difficult it is to be willing to be subordinate.
Coming from outside Yunzhou explains this situation better.
Yunzhou is closed to the outside world, and when it reaches a certain realm, it becomes a kind of barrier when it breaks through.
It is the desire to explore the outside world that has led to the struggle between the north and the south around the Wangxian Mountain Range.
Since someone can enter Yunzhou, it means that there is a way to leave here.
Maybe the secret of the Wangxian Mountain Range will have a chance to be solved.
Beidu County must have gotten the news, so he did not hesitate to cease fighting.
Only when the two sides work together can we promote the development of the situation in a good direction.
You Madness is not a person who admits death.
Years of conquest also made him understand how difficult it is to dominate Yunzhou.
No matter how big the grudge is, after all these years of wear, it has long faded into smoke.
The friction between the two sides, apart from causing chaos and chaos, does not benefit their own development at all.
It's hard to ride a tiger.
It is also a kind of helplessness that makes the war impossible to stop.
Three days later, the other party invited the county lord to go to the Wangxian Mountain Range to talk about it, and everything would be clear. Zhao Jifeng reminded without a trace.
"Tiger Meng should lead the people to ensure the safety of the county lord. Liu Humeng did not forget to take the opportunity to show loyalty.
You Crazy let out a long sigh, waved his hand, and dismissed the two.
As the supreme ruler of the southern county capital, the pressure on You Madman's shoulders was not easy at all.
The past is floating in front of me one by one, and the past of yesterday is still faintly visible.
The friendship between the southern county and the northern capital county for generations has evolved into a disaster because of the breaking of a marriage.
Of course, this is only the focus of contradictions on the surface, but in fact the hearts of the people have fallen.
You Crazy was full of emotion, and his thoughts fluctuated.
Outside the window, the bright moon hung high, and the faint moonlight spilled coldly into the floor of the house.
Sleepless tonight.
Three days passed quickly.
The gate of the county capital in the south was opened, and You Madness led Zhao Jifeng and Liu Humeng to embark on the route to the Wangxian Mountain Range together.
There were no huge troops in the entourage, and the three of them were like going out to play, with only a few retinues.
Stepping into the Wangxian Mountain Range, that sense of solemnity came to my face.
The scenery in the mountains is still the same, only the footsteps of the people gently spread on the winding mountain road.
The autumn wind is bleak, blowing the fallen leaves and circling and falling silently on the mountains.
There was no word all the way, and the camp in the south of the county in front of me was faintly visible.
The path leading to the sinkhole, which was the front of the fiercest battle between the two sides, set up a banquet at this time.
Xu Canglie, the county lord of Beidu County, stood side by side with a young man in white.
The two came alone, just before the banquet, quietly waiting.
You Crazy was suddenly stunned, and the long-lost warmth poured into his heart.
"Brother You's demeanor has not diminished back then. Xu Canglie smiled and beckoned a few people to sit down in the banquet.
The three of them sat down around the table, and Ruan Ruan raised a pot of Aoki wine in his hand and poured a glass for everyone.
"Brother Xu, you are not young, and your body is still strong. You Crazy smelled the aroma of wine, and suddenly felt refreshed.
The fragrant and fragrant Aoki wine is the secret brew of the Qingling people, and it is also Ruan's personal treasure.
"It's been a long time since I've tasted such a fine wine, and I'm afraid this thing is not from Yunzhou. You Crazy picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said leisurely.
Through fine wine, you can also find out the origin of the boy.
"Lord You is really as wise as a torch, this is the exclusive property of the Qingling clan of the Canglan Continent, and it can't be imitated in other places. ”
Ruan Ruan smiled slightly, inadvertently revealing his identity.
Xu Canglie raised his neck and drank it all, exclaiming with pleasure.
Ruan Ruan filled the wine glass in front of him for him, and said with a light smile: "If Lord Xu likes it, I still have a lot of them here." ”
Several people had their own hearts and minds, sipping fine wine, and did not bring up heavy topics.
Just like several old people meet, all the emotions are immersed in the cup.
Aoki sake is mellow and green, and has a long stamina.
You Madyu's face flushed with a hint of red, turned the wine glass in his hand, and sighed: "It's been many years since I've been so comfortable as today, and I'm about to forget how much I drink." ”
The cultivation of several people obviously will not be affected by these wines, and they can only feel the pleasure of wine when they let go of the burden in their hearts.
"Brother You, it's all my fault that I failed to explain it to you, which caused a misunderstanding between us, I toast you. ”
Xu Canglie picked up his wine glass and saluted You Madness from afar.
mentioned the festival between the two, You Crazy was a little gloomy.
The battle between the two sides is driven by the desires of the heart, whether it is right or wrong.
The knots in my heart are the most difficult to unravel.
Whoever started the trouble should end it.
Xu Canglie put down his body and took the initiative to apologize, which also made You Crazy have an abnormal feeling.
When people get along with each other, sometimes they are just a little bit less communicative.
"Speaking of which, I'm a few years older than you, and I'm even more ashamed. You Crazy has been depressed in his heart for many years, and it gradually disappeared in the other party's smiling face.
Each other knows what each other thinks, but there is a lack of communication.
As soon as someone opens up the situation, it immediately becomes nothing to talk about.
"The dog acted recklessly and failed Brother You's kindness, and I, an elder, are really not competent enough. Xu Canglie thought of his son, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
"Because of the marriage with the You family, the dog never returned from this Wangxian Mountain Range, so it led to my disrespect for Brother You, and I hope to sympathize with my hardships as a father. ”
Xu Canglie rarely mentions this situation, and there are not many people who know the inside story.
You Madness only thought that Xu Canglie had hidden the secret of the Wangxian Mountain Range, so he did not hesitate to provoke a war, making this place a battleground for soldiers.
Xu Canglie told the past at this time, which shocked You Madness.
"The sinkhole in the Wangxian Mountain Range is actually an exit to the outside world, and it is not a secret of ascension. Ruan Ruan opened his mouth and said, which made You Crazy Yu's side even more shocked.
"Why did Childe say this. You Madness obviously couldn't digest the news yet, and asked suspiciously.
"Yunzhou is shrouded in a large array, and the Wangxian Mountain Range is the eye of the great array. I don't know why a mountain range fell to the nether realm, forming a fairy mountain. It was from the Immortal Mountain that I teleported to Yunzhou that I was able to meet you. ”
Ruan Ruan described the process of immortal immortalization to everyone, which made everyone sigh.
"Ling Lang's inference, combined with the situation I encountered, it is not difficult to deduce this result. ”
Ruan Ruan looked at Xu Canglie and said solemnly.
Yunzhou is in the middle of a big array, which is really incredible.
Ruan Ruan came from the outside world, and his words made everyone have to believe it.
"Who laid out such a formation, and what is his purpose. You Madness was shocked by this sudden secret.
"It was precisely because I discovered the mystery of this place that I specially invited a few people to discuss it together. Ruan Ruan only saw the tip of the iceberg, and had no clue about the secrets hidden behind it.
"Just below Yunzhou, there is an immortal mountain of the same structure, and it also has the blessing of the formation, isolating it from the outside world. ”
Ruan Ruan didn't dabble in the formation, and it was only because of Wu Changli that he had such a guess.
"Young Master Xu Jiayan must have found the connection between Xianshan and Yunzhou, and he has only been missing for so many years, and as far as I know, he has not appeared in the outside world. ”
Xu Jiayan's whereabouts are as much a mystery as the water.
What the two have in common is that they have a deep knowledge of formation.
Ruan Ruan and the others got the guidance of Shui from the top of the Immortal Mountain and came to Yunzhou.
And the water is still not in Yunzhou, it is very likely that he felt the traces left by Xu Jiayan and also entered the sinkhole.
This sinkhole is the source of all secrets.
"There is a formation blessing near the sinkhole, and ordinary people can't get a glimpse of it. ”
Xu Canglie was deeply touched that it was also because of the unique environment here that he and Xu Jiayan were separated here.
"The one who broke the formation, I already have a candidate here. The two of them were also invited to discuss the matter. ”
Ruan Ruan's reliance can only be placed on Wu Changli, and his performance all the way from the immortal mountain also shows that Wu Changli can do it.
As long as the two sides are no longer fighting, Ruan Ruan and the others can go to the sinkhole, and it is only a matter of time before the formation is unlocked.
"Brother Xu, if you told these secrets earlier, we wouldn't have been facing each other for so long. You Crazy Yu no longer had any mustard in his heart, and his tone became intimate.
"The situation of the day, even if I said it, Brother You wouldn't believe it. Xu Canglie looked helpless and said with a wry smile.
The formation of the Wangxian Mountain Range blocked everyone's footsteps, and it also caused all kinds of speculations, even Xu Canglie was convinced, not to mention You Crazy.
The unknown is always imaginative.
Before they didn't have enough strength to explore, everyone had the same mind.
"This sinkhole is not something that can be caused by man, and there may be hidden dangers. ”
Ruan Ruan was not optimistic, the strange way of mining domain stones in the Immortal Mountain always gave him an ominous premonition.
Immortal Mountain is rich in domain stones, and it needs to be mined with blood, and it is only by breaking through the formation that this bloody way has been changed.
The function of the formation is to isolate the outside world on the one hand, and it means sealing on the other hand.
Ruan Ruan couldn't help but think of the experience in the immortal tomb.
That space is a place of exile. There are terrifying creatures lurking, but it's a pity that the original god who controls the monks.
Could the Great Array of Yunzhou also have the same purpose, if this is really the case, then the Yunzhou Continent is also full of crises.
Xu Jiayan first discovered the arrangement of the existing formation in the Yunzhou Continent, and after studying it for many years, there must have been some progress.
The plan for today is to start from the sinkhole and open the exit to the outside world, so as to know what kind of danger it will face.
The trip to the sinkhole is imminent.
