In front of him was the letter of appointment of the deputy city lord of Hechi City.

Han Li had been to this place before, and it was named after the silted up waters of the Xia River Ancient Road. It is located in the southeast of Longxiang City, the northeast of Juque City, and the distance between the two places is less than 40 miles. He originally thought that he would hold a position that was neither high nor low in the integrated Longxiang army, and gradually accumulate military merits, and finally like the prefecture-level elders of the Xiao family, he would take charge of the authority of the monk battle array.

As the son-in-law of the Xiao family, his status is not high, but as a prefecture-level monk, he and many people can actually be commensurate with fellow Daoists, but he still deliberately kept a low profile, because this time he caught a glimpse of some suspicion in the eyes of many people.

I didn't seem to have done anything wrong, until Sui Jianfeng, the head of the Sui family, who was quite close to me, secretly woke him up, because of Jiang Feng, the head of the shallow mountain sect.

What's the matter with me?

We were just nodding acquaintances on the same side, not even counting, Han Li couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and then thought that the other party and himself did have something in common, he had also heard and seen Xiao Mingzhen and Jiang Feng's involvement, and learned that the former had recommended Jiang Feng in the family to participate in the Shiqian Alliance, which was a wind-like honor. But in the end, Jiang Feng's performance was not good, and he did not have the courage to give up his old love, and he missed the identity of the "son-in-law of the Xiao family", and he also became infamous for provoking Bai Ruoxi, the wife to be married to the Bai family. This behavior has aroused all kinds of doubts within the family, and the self who would have been reused is also facing the situation of being examined again.

No matter how superb alchemy is, is it useless?

Han Li's heart immediately welled up with a little dissatisfaction, but he didn't put the slightest bit on his face, he knew that even the position of the deputy city lord of this Hechi City could be regarded as a kind of promotion, without the support of the Xiao family behind him, it was claimed that only the elite were left, but in fact, it was difficult to get the position of the enemy before.

"The deputy lord of Hechi City is very old, and has been in this position for eighteen years, and will soon retire. Sui Jianfeng lost no time in reminding.

"He is a member of the Bai family. Another sentence is quite admonishing.

"The promotion is faster, if you can make some achievements, and you can go further in cultivation, when the limelight is over, it is not difficult to transfer back to the Long Xiang Army, after all, you are Dan into eight products, and the future is limitless. Sui Jianfeng put away the eight-hundred-year-old "Xindu Seven-Leaf Lotate" sent by Han Li and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will help you operate it when the time comes, Hechi City is in a better location than Longxiang City, it is close to the trade route, if you want to gain something, it is not difficult to think about it." ”

Adjacent to trade routes, it seems to be much easier to sell herbs and exchange cultivation resources, but it still needs to be covered up. Han Liden had enlightenment, his eyes were brave, his confidence overflowed all over his body, and he said firmly: "I will definitely live up to Uncle Sui's trust." ”

If he could ascend to the position of City Lord one day earlier, he could consider planning his own team, everything depended on the Xiao family, and he would always be passive, without the slightest bargaining capital, Han Li thought secretly. It's just that since the investigation will continue, there must be invisible eyes staring at him, at least in the last few months, and it is necessary to be extremely cautious. Of course, using the identity of Uncle Feng's nominal disciple, he might be able to do something in advance.

Speaking of which, it was also that Jiang Feng who caused himself to go around in a circle, but this change, how can he know if it is a blessing? At least this position, after being familiar with it, is much more free and convenient to act than before in the army.

............

When Jiang Feng came back from the Yu family, he went straight to the Chu family, and did not see Chu Yiming himself, but got the latest news from the housekeeper Huang Dong.

"Sixth Shao passed the word over, saying that the Fang family's affairs have already been resolved, but he still needs to do some aftermath work, if you are in a hurry, you can go directly to Dongji City to find him. ”

Jiang Feng, who had not received any help from the Yu family, wondered if he wanted to go to the Bai family to try his luck, so he had to go to the East Pole City.

Anyway, Jiang Feng thanked him, explained to Yingge and the others, and then got on the latest beast ship alone and went straight to Dongji City. This was the first time he had come to the location of the Li Sect since he took charge of the Asa Mountain Sect. Compared with the pattern of Zhenwu City, which is half a mountain and half a city, Dongji City is built on a huge towering platform, east and west, north and south, with a total of twelve city gates, eight of which are open to foreign monks.

On the beast boat, as a monk visiting Dongji City for the first time, Jiang Feng was told that one-sixth of the territory in the city had been allocated to the Long Xiang Army as a camp, and it was not allowed to enter without permission. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion, I am afraid that the secret path is not only the Li Sect itself, but even the heads of the surrounding sects, I am afraid that they will also be secretly vigilant at this moment, firmly grasp the control of the monk's battle array, and improve its mobility, so that it can form combat power at any time.

I don't know if Xiao Mingzhen is in that camp, on the way down the beast boat slowly, Jiang Feng looks at it with great eyes, but except for the five-colored smoke rising from the camp, he can't see anything clearly.

I don't know what she is doing at this time, how she is doing, and whether she has walked out of the haze she has created. Jiang Feng's heart was apprehensive, he wanted to know, he wanted to get a glimpse, but he had no choice but to let that lingering concern fly into the clouds and blend into the gradually depressed clouds.

............

Lizong, East Pole City, in the camp of the Longxiang Army.

Xiao Mingzhen was dressed in a suede suit, and more than a dozen sergeants lined up behind the military tent, practicing flag symbols, although sound transmission is a more convenient and fast way, but not every monk has expertise in this area, or is willing to sacrifice a skill to learn this auxiliary skill, not to mention, in the chaotic battlefield, it is also unrealistic to let the commander transmit the voice to each monk, only each monk in the array, is accustomed to following the rhythm of the commander, is the best choice.

"It's too slow!"

The harsh rebuke resounded in Xiao Mingzhen's ears, and then she felt a strong ground-level coercion, not sharp, but powerful. In just a moment, the tall figure flashed beside her, it was the captain of the team, He Fangxuan, approaching the side, Xiao Ming could really feel the sound of the other party's deep breathing.

"Act decisively, and in a moment, it is life and death!"

"Yes!" Xiao Mingzhen replied loudly, just like the other monks present.

"Go on!"

He Fangxuan then threw out a smoke-wrapped magic weapon, the gray color immediately obscured everyone's eyes, and even the detection of divine consciousness was also quite restricted, and the actions of the commander became blurred, at this time, only the monk closest to the commander could glimpse the accurate instructions and make a correct response, and others would refer to his actions and spread the instructions, which was a drill based on the real situation.

The strong man on Xiao Mingzhen's left hand side moved and jumped to the left front, sacrificing the bowl in his hand to make an attack, while the black-faced boy on the right hand side was the opposite, taking three steps back in a row, and playing a water shield talisman to protect himself, the two had completely different understandings of the order, which made Xiao Mingzhen panic, didn't the manual say that you should follow the nearest person around you to act, how could this be, who should I learn?

At this time, she suddenly felt that an iron sword was coming straight to the door in front of her, and she subconsciously retreated sharply, but the iron sword came in a hurry, and in a hurry, she had to be distracted and inject spiritual power into the "Owl Pattern Bronze Bell Soul Gu" in her sleeve, with the help of the [Spirit Leap] skill, flashed to the side, dodging the iron sword that followed.

However, a pale and cold spiritual power, wrapped in the iron sword, struck again, and she had to be distracted and use [Spirit Leap] again, several times, only to find that she had escaped out of the circle. This is a clear violation of the third prohibition of the Code.

"Whether you read the flag clearly or not, you should make a decision immediately, whether to attack or defend, rather than sit back and wait. He Fangxuan's voice sounded again, the smoke cleared, and there were already two women and a man on the ground who were forced by the iron sword to have no way out, and Xiao Mingzhen was the fourth person.

"Out of the circle! If you make a big mistake, you will be fined one hundred marble stones. ”

"I'm not a battle cultivator at all!" Xiao Mingzhen defended aggrievedly, with her spiritual power, she could only cast sixty marble stones, which meant that she had to take a rapid recovery pill, or simply use a third-order spirit stone to supplement her spiritual power regardless of the risk of impurities entering her body.

"Shout out, will the other party spare your life?"

The sword eyebrows are raised, the short hair is like a man, He Fang's eyes are blazing, as if he can see all the scheming, he didn't care about Xiao Mingzhen's defense at all, "Remember, the sergeant I trained, must remember two, the first one, survive! The second one, still survive! Only by surviving can you have a chance to trample the opponent under your feet!"

Hmph, what's the big deal, who doesn't know that the sergeants you led before all died in Longxiang City, Xiao Mingzhen couldn't help but scold, there were all kinds of grievances in his heart, but he felt the other party's sharp gaze sweep over, and her heart was cold, she knew that this was the coercion of killing blood, so she quickly gritted her silver teeth and buried all the dissatisfied scheming with strength, for fear that the other party would increase the punishment of one hundred to one hundred and fifty.

"Did you hear that?"

At the end of the training, Xiao Ming, who felt that his muscles and veins were broken, really wanted to rest, and Zhao Lingzhao, a very talkative female cultivator in the team, whispered the gossip: "That Captain He, the team of twelve people led before, once cooperated in the siege and killed one Jindan mid-stage and three Zhuji Chengcheng. ”

"Didn't you say they're all dead?" interjected another, slightly strong, round-faced nun with a small face.

"Man, you don't know, the team was completely wiped out because of a magic weapon of the other party's Yuanying Monk, which hit the center of the team, but at that time, there were still three people who had a chance to escape, but in order to protect Officer He, they risked their lives to miss the magic weapon. ”

"I said why his face is so dark, and the relationship is precipitated by the friendship of the brothers. The round-faced nun known as the "man's wife" smiled heartlessly, "It's a pity, I originally liked the handsome appearance." ”

"You don't have a chance, so consider me!" Another female cultivator leaned over, and her index finger lifted the fat chin of the round-faced female cultivator, "Man, will I leave you a bed tonight?"

Everyone suddenly burst into laughter, and the camp tent was full of joyful atmosphere, but Xiao Mingzhen, who was sore all over, couldn't fit in, she could only secretly clasp the "Bronze Bell Soul Gu" in her sleeves and taste the coolness.

Every man has a different story, just like an old wine, but some are crisp and some are spicy...... She suddenly remembered the golden light she had seen in the ancient well, and what did she say?

In a drowsy state, she suddenly heard a shrill whistle, and she quickly opened her eyes, only to see that the female cultivators around her had already arranged their robes and clothes, and quickly flew away from the tent.

She didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, in fact, she was so tired that she simply slept in her clothes, and rushed out with everyone, but saw that in the howling wind and snow, five different teams of sergeants were gathering in knee-deep snow.

"Night Raid Drill!"

She only heard a familiar male voice, but she saw that the lieutenant He Fangxuan had already taken the lead in soaring into the sky, and the broad and tall figure was like a streamer that broke through the sky, and suddenly, it merged into the wind and snow in the sky.

............

In the midst of the same snowstorm.

Jiang Feng shook off the snow on his body for the third time, and finally waited for Fang Jinlu at the gate of the West Gate Prison.

He wasn't the first to come out, and he wasn't the last. Seeing Jiang Feng coming to pick him up, he just looked up at the flying cold snow and exhaled a breath of white air, "I owe you a lot of favors, although the entire Fang family owes you, but you know, I am not the same person as them." ”

Compared to them, you are just more undisciplined, Jiang Feng couldn't help but secretly wonder, but this is exactly what I value right now. However, in this situation, it is not suitable to say it so bluntly, seeing that Fang Qingtan, the head of the Fang family, also came over, he stopped chatting, but listened to the other party:

"The grace of the head of the Jiang family is remembered by the three generations of the Fang family. ”

"You're welcome, without the Chu family's circulation, you can't do it in the future. ”

Jiang Feng naturally would not take all the credit for saving the other party to himself, Fang Qingtan should know that it was Chu Yiming who came forward to mediate, but he should also know that it was Jiang Feng who was secretly exerting his efforts.

Fang Qingtan didn't continue to be polite, he knew that he didn't have any friendship with Jiang Feng, and the person who could talk to the head of the shallow mountain sect should be the unruly nephew Fang Jinlu in front of him. Speaking of not being angry, he naturally understood that the Fang family's difficulty was not caused by Fang Jinlu's negligence, but that the Li family coveted the Fang family's business in Zhenwu City, and took advantage of the fall of his backstage to suddenly make a difficulty.

"No matter what, in the future, if there is a useful old family, the head of Jiang will open his mouth. ”

"I don't know Fang Daoyou, can you plan a place for the people of the family?" Jiang Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, he felt that this was a good opportunity to recruit talents.

"Our Fang family has always made a living from the formation refining weapon, so I plan to move all the family to the Nangong family in the southwest of Lizong, where there is a third-order spiritual land, the cave mansion can also be rented freely, and it is adjacent to Juque City, so I think it will develop well in the future." ”

So that's the case, Fang Qingtan deliberately mentioned the "third-order spiritual land", thinking that he was also going to break off his thoughts of continuing to persuade, Jiang Feng sighed in his heart, dark Dao talents are rare, the small temple of the Qianshan Sect can't accommodate this big Buddha, otherwise, the Qianshan Sect has further hope in the way of refining the weapon formation. As for now, although they can earn a little money with only Elder Zhao Wenjun and Shui Yunqi, they are still far from entering the mainstream.

But Jin Lu said he was going to stay. ”

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, and as Fang Qingtan's gaze looked at Fang Jinlu, he found that the other party was also stunned, and said in his heart that this was a temporary decision, but he saw Fang Jinlu pouting.

"Okay, stay and stay, and follow you left and right, and there is nothing good to look at. But ......"

"But what?" Fang Qingtan's face was solemn, making people feel like they were parting from life and death.

"But my cousin Yuan Mengzhu also wants to stay. ”

"Worthless bastard!" Fang Qingtan snorted, apologized to Jiang Feng again, said a few words of gratitude, and paced into the crowd waiting in the wind and snow in the distance, and after a while, a red-clothed female cultivator ran over, and was about to plunge into Fang Jinlu's arms, but found Jiang Feng on the side, and immediately was in a dilemma, a little twisted.

"It's okay to be your own person. Fang Jinlu said in a low voice, took his cousin Yuan Mengzhu into his arms, and brushed away the falling snow on the other party's shoulder.

You are your own person.

Jiang Feng didn't look over, he didn't look at the two of them, as if no one was giving up. I wondered in my heart, is it better for this Fang Jinlu to be included in the sect, or will it be left elsewhere for the time being?
