Yihu City in Antai Province is the only way to the imperial capital from the south.

Located in the interior of Antai Province on the edge of the province, the city is not large, sparsely populated, neither an economic center nor a transportation hub, and has never been invaded by foreign enemies since its founding, so its garrison is also very weak.

Under the scorching sun, the guards on the castle tower yawned as usual, and stood crookedly, without any military discipline at all.

He glanced at the bottom of the castle tower, and suddenly black dots faintly appeared in the smoke-filled distance.

The black dots were densely arranged, rapidly approaching in the direction of Yihu City.

Hallucination?

The soldier reached out and rubbed his eyes, then stared back into the distance.

The black dot did not disappear, but it became bigger and bigger, and gradually, the figure of the debut appeared.

After a few moments, the shadow came closer, and the soldier finally saw the movement below.

Army!

The soldier was stunned, but he was not nervous, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered to report to Wang Longqiang, the captain of the guard.

Soon, Wang Longqiang, who was wearing a silver armor, climbed the city tower, and at this time, the army below was only a few dozen zhang away from the city gate.

Seeing the black pressure below, the guard captain Wang Longqiang couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

He had just been promoted to the first level of the Heavenly Wheel not long ago, but he was already the number one master in the entire Yihu City, so he naturally knew how weak the garrison inside the city was.

The army below numbered in the thousands, and if he had come with hostile intentions, he would have no confidence in holding the city.

"Who's coming?"

Finally, the army below was wearing the military uniform of the Great Qian Empire, and he was lucky, and the spiritual power of the Tianlun level came from the dantian, and the voice was loud, and it was transmitted to the ears of the army below without hindrance.

The generals below ignored his questioning, and still led the army forward at a gallop, and soon broke through to a distance of several feet in front of the city gate.

"If you don't know your name again, don't blame me for being polite, archers prepare!" Wang Longqiang is also a master of the Heavenly Wheel, and when he saw that the other party completely ignored him, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

Unexpectedly, before he could give the order to shoot, dozens of archers suddenly burst out of the army below, one by one, with bows and arrows, and without even saying hello, they began to shoot fiercely at the top of the city wall.

"Shoot!"

Wang Lung was powerful and shocked, and hurriedly called the archers upstairs to counterattack, but it was too late, and the archers below did not know what kind of cruel training they had undergone, and the arrows they shot were accurate and ruthless, and in a moment, the number of defenders above the city tower was more than half.

The remaining half was also suppressed by the dense arrows below, and could only shrink behind the city wall, unable to even stick out his head.

With the help of long-range cover, a small group of people from the army below rushed to the city gate, took out the round balls behind their backs, and placed them under the city gate.

Spirit Thunder!

Wang Longqiang recognized these round balls, his face changed drastically, and finally realized that this army really wanted to capture Yihu City, and hurriedly led a team of men and horses down to the gate of the city, intending to fight to the death.

"Boom!"

With a deafening bang, the already shoddy and not very strong city gate was easily shattered, and a silver-robed general armed with a spear rode his horse into the city gate, followed by a large group of men and horses swarming in, the momentum of the elite troops dwarfed the undisciplined defenders of Yihu City.

Wang Longqiang no longer had any luck, he shouted angrily, exuding the unique power of the Tianlun master, and fiercely covered the oncoming military horses.

However, the silver-robed general also exuded the power of the heavenly wheel, canceling out his momentum, and the spear in his hand shot out, as fast as thunder, as fast as lightning, and his mighty body moved with the spear, instantly appearing in front of Wang Longqiang.

So fast!

The speed of the shot was indescribable, and he had no time to react.

Why am I fighting so hard with the army?

Isn't it good to be alive?

The moment he was pierced through the chest by the spear, he suddenly regretted his impulsive behavior.

Falling to the ground, he had not yet taken his last breath, and the enemy army in his sight did not seem to have the idea of occupying the city, burning and looting, but as if it were a rapid march, it galloped along the main road of the city, and moved rapidly towards the other side of the city gate.

They're going to ...... Going to Unjin Province?

Could it be the imperial capital?

With the last doubt, Wang Longqiang slowly closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

......

On the official road of Yunjin Province, a caravan is slowly marching.

On the leading unicorn carriage, a banner was erected, on which were woven two square Daqian characters "Tianmao".

As the fourth largest commercial organization in the Great Qian Empire, the convoy of the "Tianmao Chamber of Commerce" will naturally not lack protection.

Around the convoy, dozens of bodyguards were riding on horses, holding swords, and their eyes were full of blazing energy, and it was clear at a glance that they were all cultivators with not weak strength.

"Stop!"

The first one suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the convoy, and his eyes showed a look of wariness.

I saw a slender figure standing quietly in front of the road, dressed in white and carrying a long sword, with good facial features, but there was no expression on his face.

Behind the man in white, dozens of people stood in a neat row, each dressed in white, with stiff expressions and very strange looks.

"Friend, borrowed. The chamber of commerce bodyguard on the horse said loudly.

"Is this the convoy heading to the imperial capital?" the man in white suddenly asked, his voice cold and chilling.

"Friend, this is the convoy of the 'Tianmao Chamber of Commerce', please give face and make way for it. The chamber of commerce's bodyguard did not answer the question of the man in white, but showed the name of the fourth largest chamber of commerce in the empire, in an attempt to deter the comers.

"We people are on our way to the imperial capital. The man in white also ignored his words and said to himself, "I wonder if you can ask your chamber of commerce to give us a ride?"

"I'm sorry, but the car is full of cargo and can't carry so many of you. It was no longer the bodyguard who spoke, but the old man in Chinese clothes who came out of a carriage, "Sun Zhengyi, the president of the 'Tianmao Chamber of Commerce', I don't know if you can sell a thin noodles from Sun and let our carriage pass, Sun is willing to offer three hundred spirit crystals to show his gratitude." ”

At the beginning, Lin Zhiyun was forced to almost lose the amount of spirit crystals in Qingfeng Mountain, but he was casually sent away by Sun Zhengyi, which shows how rich the Tianmao Chamber of Commerce is.

"If you unload the goods, won't you be able to load them?" the man in white didn't seem to be interested in the three hundred spirit crystals, and said coldly.

"Your Excellency is the Bai family?" Sun Zhengyi stared at the group of people in white for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, "I heard that the Bai family has a rule that can give the other party a chance to choose." ”

"As the president of the Great Chamber of Commerce, you are right. The man in white said slowly, "My condition is that you will have the head on your neck, either take us to the imperial capital, or you will die." ”

"Not negotiable?" Sun Zhengyi's face changed, and his tone couldn't help but be cold.

The man in white shook his head and said no more.

"Well, that's a shame. Sun Zhengyi let out a long sigh and turned his head to look at the leading bodyguard, "There is Brother Lao Lu." ”

"What the president said, taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, this is a matter within Lu's responsibility. ”

Speaking of this bodyguard surnamed Lu, he is not very human.

His surname is Lu Mingwei, nicknamed "Butterfly Knife", and he was once ranked eighteenth in the list of heroes and heroes two years ago, and he was also a young man who was in the limelight at that time.

"Let Lu see what is wonderful about the legendary Bai family. Lu Wei said, holding the waist sabers on the left and right sides in his hands at the same time, and pulled them out together and closed them together.

The blades of these two knives are curved and arced very much, and when they are put together, they are like a butterfly with wings, from which the name of "butterfly knife" comes from.

The man in white still had no expression on his face, and he didn't make any movements, just looked at him coldly, his eyes as if he was looking at a corpse.

"Please advise!" Lu Wei is also a high-minded and arrogant person, how can he stand such eyes, fly off the horse, crisscross with two knives in his hands, and conjure up the shadow of a colorful butterfly in the air, and go straight to the man in white, the butterfly wings shake very fast, and the superimposed shadow formed is almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, and it is a charming eyeball.

The man in white stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword behind his back, and he didn't see how he moved, but he instantly appeared behind Lu Wei.

Lu Wei's eyes widened, his body and the Butterfly in his hand were cut off together, and the four broken blades and the corpse flew together, a dignified Tianlun master, who was once a hero in the list, didn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes, and went to the world on the other side without resistance.

The man in white slowly let go of his right hand holding the hilt of the sword, and the long sword was still stuck behind his back, as if he had never drawn the sword, and no one present could see the moment when the sword was unsheathed.

The man in white turned his head to look at Sun Zhengyi, and the president of the "Tianmao Chamber of Commerce" suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and before he could speak, the man in white quickly stretched out his right index finger and touched it lightly.

"Bang!"

I saw that Sun Zhengyi's head suddenly burst open, his brain was spilled, blood was splashed, and the headless corpse slowly fell down from the one-horned horse, the scene was terrifying and bloody, and it was terrifying.

A generation of business legends, the president of the "Tianmao Chamber of Commerce", fell here so inexplicably.

Immediately afterward, an earth-shattering infinite coercion emanated from the man in white, instantly enveloping the entire convoy, and dozens of convoy bodyguards only felt that the spiritual power in their bodies was stagnant, and they almost lost their ability to move.

"Lingzun!" a bodyguard of the Heavenly Wheel Realm changed his face drastically, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Can you give us a ride now?" the man in white said unhurriedly as his eyes swept over everyone.

The employer had already died, and there was a Lingzun boss on the opposite side, and the people in the convoy did not resist anymore, and honestly dumped a cart of valuable goods on both sides of the road, allowing the white figures to disappear in the trucks, and continued to move in the direction of the imperial capital.

......

An army carrying silver dollars came from the direction of Xiqi.

A cart of boxes was full of tax silver from the people of Xiqi Province, and they all knew that Lingjing was a good thing, but it was difficult for ordinary people to have it, so the taxes of the Daqian Empire were mainly collected in the form of silver dollars.

Arriving at the junction of Xiqi Province and Antai Province, the leading general clenched the long-handled broadsword in his hand and appeared extremely cautious.

It is only because this area is very close to the rumored "Liangshan" boundary, it is said that the Liangshan bandits are strong and vicious, each of them can be used as ten, and even the main army of the empire is unwilling to touch the existence.

Perhaps because of the unwritten tacit agreement between the Liangshan bandits and the Daqian court, he walked this road of transporting tax and silver no less than ten times, but he never encountered an accident.

Who can say for sure the character of the bandits, it's better to be careful.

As he thought, he kept instructing his men to be vigilant.

A wise man once said that the call of a person's heart will be answered by the universe.

It was about the Liangshan bandits he had called out too many times in his heart, and at the last mountain pass that he had entered Antai Province, a dense black figure appeared in front of him.

What do you really want to do, why didn't I just call a few beauties and a few boxes of spirit crystals in my mind?

He thought in frustration and raised the broadsword in his hand.

Now that the other party has appeared openly, he will naturally no longer naively engage in a war of words with the bandits, as a master of the heavenly wheel, there is a not weak army behind him, and he is not without confidence in the face of the bandits.

"What's your name?" The leader of the Liangshan bandits was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a thin face, eyes and a hint of evil in his expression.

"Guan Lin. Looking at the evil man in front of him, Guan Lin suddenly had a bad premonition.

"It turned out to be General Guan. The man in black spoke very respectfully, "The general can be in charge of the army that escorts the tax and silver, and his identity must be extraordinary, and the defenders along the way are known to everyone." ”

"That's natural, Guan has been escorting tax silver for more than ten years, and which of the guards along the way doesn't know me. Guan Lin straightened his chest and said proudly, "If Your Excellency wants to fight the idea of tax money, you must also weigh whether you have the ability." ”

"That's good, that's good. A strange smile appeared on the face of the man in black, "I was about to use the general's face." ”

"What?" Guan Lin was stunned when he heard this.

Immediately after, his eyes widened, and he watched the figure of the man in black slowly rise, hanging steadily in the air: "Except for this General Guan, everyone else has been killed." ”

A majestic momentum unique to the Lingzun boss emanated from him, Guan Lin only felt that the spiritual power in his body was stagnant, his whole body was stiff, and he almost fell off the horse, and the soldiers with lower cultivation behind him were even more unstable on their feet, kneeling or falling, and there was a burst of "poof, poof, poof" sounds.

The group of black-clothed people below let out a cruel laugh, waving the weapons in their hands to kill the generals, and the great cadres and soldiers had almost no resistance under the pressure of Lingzun, and they were slaughtered at will like chickens and dogs, and the sound of screams and blood bursting filled the sky and the earth.

Stop, stop!

Guan Lin listened to the tragic voice behind him, his eyes cracked, and he wanted to stop, but his throat could only make a "hissing" sound, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

The soldiers who kept falling behind him were all his close comrades-in-arms and best brothers!

Tears of weakness flowed from his eyes, but he couldn't save anyone's lives.

After a long time, the shouting and killing in the rear finally stopped, and the man in black slowly fell in front of Guan Lin: "General Guan, don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, there is absolutely no worry about your life." ”

Guan Lin's eyes almost burst into flames, and he glared angrily at the man in black.

"You should rest for a while. The man in black slowly stretched out his right hand towards Guan Lin's head, and he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

"Change your clothes!" commanded the black-clothed Lingzun.

A group of bandits quickly changed into the armor of the great cadres, pushed the vehicles transporting taxes and silver, and slowly marched in the direction of the imperial capital.

......

Similar things happened from time to time in various parts of the Great Qian Empire, as if someone had stretched out a huge net, taking the imperial capital as the prey, and slowly closing it......
