Chapter 109: The Border
Qin Haoxuan first came to the City Lord's Mansion to report, the name of the person in charge of receiving Qin Haoxuan is Shen Jingtong, Shen Jingtong is the third disciple of Zuo Niancheng, the head of Qingxia Sect, and his cultivation is already Jindan Great Perfection, Shen Jingtong's appearance is dignified, at first glance, it makes people feel very imposing, in Qin Haoxuan's opinion, he is somewhat similar to his senior brother Pei Yuze, and now the entire Ningyan City, including all the monks stationed in Ningyan City, are under the management of Shen Jingtong.
Of course, Shen Jingtong welcomed Qin Haoxuan's arrival, the two had also met a few times in the sect, although they were not very familiar, but the two still understood each other, and after a few words of greeting, Shen Jingtong went straight to the point.
Qin Haoxuan briefly explained his purpose and thoughts to Shen Jingtong, so as not to let Shen Jingtong not understand his thoughts, and it was difficult to arrange it because of his feelings.
"I already know what Senior Brother means here, since Senior Brother has the intention to train himself, then Senior Brother I will no longer be polite to you," Shen Jingtong said with a smile.
"Senior brother, don't worry, you can just arrange it," Qin Haoxuan replied.
Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Haoxuan, accompanied by a disciple of the foundation building period, came to the station assigned by Shen Jingtong to himself, Qin Haoxuan's station was in the northwest corner of Ningyan City, and there were nine foundation building period monks in the station, and from today on, they were Qin Haoxuan's subordinates.
Qin Haoxuan received the task of taking over this team, and then leading them to inspect the easternmost section of Ningyan City, which was about fifty miles long.
There are two squads in charge of this fifty-mile-long border, and the two squads rotate every other month, and Qin Haoxuan's squad is one of them.
The station was a courtyard covering an area of two acres, and here Qin Haoxuan saw the nine members of the team.
Among the nine people, there are seven men and two women, two of the team are in the late stage of foundation building, and the remaining seven people are all in the middle stage of foundation building.
Under the introduction of the monks who came with him from the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Haoxuan met with them one by one, and he also had a preliminary understanding of them by observing Qin Haoxuan.
Qin Haoxuan could see that the nine people in front of him were not novices, except for two of them who were still a little immature, the others were obviously battle-hardened, Qin Haoxuan knew that Shen Jingtong said that he would not take care of himself, but in fact he still took good care of himself.
After everyone got to know each other, the City Lord Mansion monks who came with him said goodbye and left, and informed Qin Haoxuan when they left, Qin Haoxuan's team would leave for the border in half a month to take over the patrol mission of another team.
Qin Haoxuan briefly chatted with the team members, and then let them disperse, now that they are in the repair period, Qin Haoxuan doesn't need them to do anything.
The courtyard is very large, and there is a two-story small building behind the courtyard, which is where Qin Haoxuan rests, and the other team members also live here, but they live in the wings on the left and right, fortunately, there are more than ten wings in the courtyard, so everyone has their own room.
After half a month of such quietness, Qin Haoxuan's team set off as scheduled and started a month-long patrol mission.
The fifty-mile area that Qin Haoxuan was responsible for was in the easternmost section of the border, and the station was in a village less than ten miles away from the border.
The village is not big, there are only one hundred and eighty households, because the people of the whole village are surnamed Xia, so this village is called Xiajia Village.
After the team arrived in Xiajia Village, they quickly completed the handover with the previous patrol team, and then started the first patrol.
Qingxiamen is equipped with a flying spirit boat for each team, and the flying boat is ten zhang long and three zhang wide, so that a flying boat can easily carry ten to fifteen people.
Qingxiamen equipped the patrol team with a spirit boat, mainly because the monks in the foundation building period could not fly for a long time, and after having the flying boat, the true yuan of the monks could be saved to the greatest extent, so that the monks could enter the battle at any time.
After the flying boat flew out of Xiajia Village, it turned around in the air, and then galloped towards the border line, the two disciples in the team in the late stage of foundation building, one was responsible for controlling the flying boat, and the other was standing by Qin Haoxuan's side, the disciple who controlled the flying boat was called Peng Hongguang, and the disciple standing next to Qin Haoxuan was called Cao Zhengyang.
Along the way, Qin Haoxuan stood on top of the flying boat, looking around at the surrounding terrain, and Cao Zhengyang, who was beside Qin Haoxuan, was also briefing Qin Haoxuan from time to time.
This area patrolled by Qin Haoxuan's team is next to the Qinshan Mountain Range, looking around from the flying boat, the terrain of the entire section of the border is all in the mountainous area, precisely because it is in the mountainous area, so under this terrain condition, the division of the border between Qingxiamen and Tianluomen has become blurred, which has led to constant conflicts between the two sides.
The speed of the flying boat was very fast, and the area that Qin Haoxuan's team was responsible for was only less than fifty miles, so Qin Haoxuan quickly checked this area clearly.
For a whole day, Qin Haoxuan followed the team to patrol back and forth along the border four times, but he didn't find any situation, and the team returned to the Xiajia Village station at ten o'clock in the evening.
For three days in a row, Qin Haoxuan and the others had not encountered any monks from the Heavenly Wolf Sect, and they had not found any abnormalities on the border line, which made Qin Haoxuan inevitably a little bored.
However, after the past few days of contact, Qin Haoxuan has a better understanding of the members of his team, and when he fights in the future, Qin Haoxuan will be able to arrange it, and he will be able to achieve a target.
On the fourth day, the patrol team finally met a group of Heavenly Wolf Sect monks, Qin Haoxuan found that the staffing of the Heavenly Wolf Gate was exactly the same as that of Qingxia Gate, which was also composed of a Jin Dan and nine disciples of the foundation building period, and the two sides slowly staggered along the inside of their respective boundary lines, and then the monks on both sides looked at each other angrily, with a posture of not convincing anyone.
Qin Haoxuan keenly noticed that when the forty-year-old Jindan stage monk on the opposite side looked at his team, there seemed to be a hint of banter in his eyes, and Qin Haoxuan immediately felt a sigh of relief.
After the two flying boats disengaged, Qin Haoxuan signaled Peng Hongguang, who was controlling the flying boat, to slow down the speed of the flying boat, and then turned back to everyone and said, "From now on, you have to be careful and vigilant, I feel that something is not right." ”
Cao Zhengyang was standing next to Qin Haoxuan, and he, like the rest of the team, was a little puzzled by Qin Haoxuan's words at the moment: "Uncle Shi, did you find anything wrong?"
"Hmm," Qin Haoxuan nodded.
After carefully recalling the expressions of the other disciples of the Heavenly Wolf Sect just now, Qin Haoxuan couldn't help frowning.
"Don't be quiet, just stay on guard at all times, I don't know if you noticed it just now, their expressions are obviously a little abnormal," Qin Haoxuan looked back at everyone, and then asked.
As soon as Qin Haoxuan said this, the rest of the team had to be cautious, and everyone began to recall the scene just now.
After a while, Cao Zhengyang suddenly spoke: "Yes, Uncle Shi is right, their expressions just now were a little weird, like..."
"It's like looking at a dead man," said the speaker's name, Kang Yubai, a very clever young man.
"When you say that, that's really the case," Gu Yangxun, who was sitting next to Kang Yubai, suddenly exclaimed.
"Be quiet, you're afraid that others won't hear you," a female cultivator in the team rebuked angrily.
The name of the female monk who spoke was Lu Xiaozhen, she was very beautiful, and her figure was also convex and backward, such a female cultivator would be welcomed when she walked there, so Gu Yangxun was not angry, and laughed dryly.
"We're just speculating now, isn't it necessarily, but anyway, you all have to get ready first," Qin Haoxuan glanced at the crowd, and then stopped paying attention to them, but let go of his divine sense and began to search around.
With Qin Haoxuan's current cultivation, his divine consciousness can already be released ten miles away, which is not inferior to the Yuan Infant Cultivator, but this level of divine consciousness can be released, Qin Haoxuan can't support it for long, as the flying boat sped up, Qin Haoxuan soon found that there was indeed an abnormality in front of him, and Qin Haoxuan found the breath of at least fifteen or sixteen monks five miles ahead.
"Peng Hongguang, the flying boat will stop immediately," Qin Haoxuan instructed Peng Hongguang, who was controlling the flying boat.
Although everyone felt a little strange that Qin Haoxuan suddenly ordered to stop the flying boat, but Qin Haoxuan's order they had to obey, Peng Hongguang immediately stopped the flying boat, and then turned his head to look at Qin Haoxuan, and then he found that Qin Haoxuan's face was a little gloomy, Peng Hongguang
After seeing this, I don't understand that Uncle Shi is afraid that he has really discovered something.
"Don't act rashly, I said you just listen quietly," Qin Haoxuan told everyone.
"Five miles ahead, there are fifteen or sixteen people hiding, I can be sure that there are two Jin Dan among them, combined with what we saw just now, I think these people are also from the Heavenly Wolf Sect, and they are probably coming specifically for us. ”
"Uncle Shi, what should we do now?"
"Yes, Uncle Shi, should we ask the sect for help. Lu Xiaozhen, Kang Yubai and others said.
"Senior nephew Peng, Feizhou is now turning around, maintaining a normal speed, let's go back, since they want to attack us, then let's strike first, turn around first and kill the team that passed just now. ”
Qin Haoxuan's words were orders, he didn't care if the rest of the team had any opinions, Peng Hongguang turned the flying boat around, and then controlled the flying boat to fly at the speed of patrolling on weekdays.
Seeing that the flying boat of Qingxia Gate suddenly turned around, the monks of the Heavenly Wolf Gate, who had been in ambush here for most of the hour, were suddenly dumbfounded.
The two Jindan monks of the Heavenly Wolf Sect were also a little inexplicable at the moment, the older of the two was named Xiang Zimin, and the other was the younger one named Ji Mingxu, both of whom were mid-Jindan monks.
"Senior Brother Xiang, why did they suddenly turn around, they couldn't have discovered us, right?"
"It's impossible, it's five or six miles away, and we all deliberately hide our breath," Xiang Zimin shook his head.
"That's weird, then why did they suddenly turn around?" Ji Mingxu continued to ask.
