More than a few months have passed since the demon scourge in Shangtang County.

However, fortunately, the demons in the territory did not cross the border and then went to the territory of Houchu. In this regard, the Houchu court, which is thousands of miles away, is naturally a little comforted, and in the prefectures and counties around Shangtang County, it is inevitable that people will be panicked, and the population of the county will all decline sharply, but this is also inevitable. And the most fortunate thing is undoubtedly the 100,000 soldiers stationed outside Shangtang County.

Since those demons were cowering in Shangtang County, and the orders they received were only to garrison them outside to prevent them from continuing to invade the territory of Houchu, the current situation allowed them to temporarily avoid a dispute and casualties.

With the passage of time, more and more sword cultivators were also sent from the Zhenjian Palace in Yuzhaojing, with more than 30 sword masters and hundreds of sword warriors, all of whom were stationed on the main roads and necessary places leading to various places in Shangtang County, just like the 100,000 soldiers.

These people are naturally used to prevent it from happening.

And that Zhenjian Palace Yu Sword Saint, now his injuries are also well, sitting in the Zhenjian Palace, but as long as there is any movement, it will be able to come in an instant.

There are even rumors that in the Zhenjian Palace, in the near future, there will be a retreat sword saint who is about to come out, and when the time comes, the strength of the Zhenjian Palace that can be put on the table will inevitably increase greatly.

And this means that when the time comes, the Later Chu Dynasty will be able to have two sword saints to drive.

However, even so, the Yu Sword Saint of the Zhenjian Palace did not see him go to Shangtang County to kill the demons again.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

You must know that the current situation in Houchu is not a stable and peaceful situation, on the contrary, it can be said to be a step-by-step crisis.

Not to mention the demon disaster that Shangtang County has become a foregone conclusion, this wave has not settled, and a wave has risen again, and more than a dozen small countries in the south of Daze and Hou Chu have all been attacked, this has indeed touched the bottom line of Hou Chu, and this tone, as a big country, is really unbearable.

Therefore, the situation in the south is unpredictable now, and in the past few days, the border army in the south of Houchu has been sending out of reconnaissance and cavalry, and the movement of soldiers under his command and the transportation of heavy grain and grass have become more and more intensive, and it is obvious that a huge offensive is already brewing.

And the border army in the north of Houchu is now always keeping an eye on the movements on the other side of the Hengsuo River, beware of the border army of Daqi suddenly going south and doing the vicious things that take advantage of the danger of others. Although, if this is the case, it is normal, as the saying goes: soldiers are not tired of cheating. Since ancient times, it is normal for soldiers to behave in treacherous ways, and if they are plotted by others, they can only blame themselves for not being vigilant enough and having bad luck, so naturally there is no way to complain.

In order to prevent this from happening, the northern border army of Houchu had already closed the pass checkpoints at an early age, temporarily banned the post road between the north and the south, and everyone was also waiting for it.

Although this move is clearly to tell Daqi that something big must have happened in the state of Chu after him. However, they made such a gesture, but they were also signaling to Daqi in another way, they were already prepared, perhaps very well prepared, for deterrence, when Daqi did not find out, naturally they did not dare to act rashly at will.

For the current Houchu, the trend between the north and the south is undoubtedly the most critical in the south.

You must know that Houchu is not as good as Daqi, north of Daqi, is a boundless desert, inaccessible, and there is no need to worry about it. Then south of Chu, it is Daze, and now in the middle of Daze, it is a place of chaos, and countries are fighting. The dozen or so small countries that were originally attached to themselves were originally a barrier, used to block the countries of Houchu and the chaotic war of Daze further south, so that the chaotic war would not burn to them, and they did not have to worry that someone would suddenly stab themselves in the back, so that they had no worries and could concentrate on-for-tat with Daqi in the north.

But now, in a matter of days, those dozen or so small nations have been conquered. This is tantamount to saying that the most reliable barrier behind Hou Chu has been broken, and for a while, it has already fallen into a situation where it is attacked by the enemy.

How can such a situation not make him feel anxious?

Later Chu Dynasty is up and down, naturally everyone can see this situation clearly, and it is also to save the severity of the current situation.

In such a situation of north-south attack, it is naturally impossible for the Later Chu Dynasty to suddenly move north, openly provoke a war, start a war with Daqi, and then fall into a death war with huge consumption or possibly the possibility of destroying the country, so it is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Therefore, the only choice is naturally to take advantage of the fact that Daqi has not yet moved, lead the army south, recover the lost territory of more than a dozen countries, and break this embarrassing situation as soon as possible, so that he can occupy a favorable position in the long run, and only then can he be expected to be invincible.

Naturally, most of the eyes of the ministers of the Later Chu Dynasty are also on the southern border, and in recent days, the excerpts presented to the imperial front are almost stating the strategy of using troops for Daze in the south, as for the demon disaster in Shangtang County, since they have not seen its disaster for so long, it seems that they have been put aside for the time being, and few people mention it.

However, recently, a soldier handed over a fold, proposing to transfer 50,000 of the 100,000 garrison soldiers to the south for support, but this matter was resolutely opposed by Li Guyu, the old secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and argued on the basis of reason, and in the end, it was over.

This matter, not big or small, is just a small episode in the major events of the DPRK and China in the past few days, but it made Emperor Zhengde think of something after saying this.

Previously, the young man from Hidden Sword Mountain who promised to be able to relieve the scourge of the demons in Shangtang County seemed to be named Liu Fufeng, but now, what happened?

……

More than ten miles away from Entropy City, Daqing Mountain.

In mid-air, forty brilliant flying swords fell together and stabbed at the scarred mountain-like demon.

Roar!

I only heard the demon roar with it, and then saw that its pair of fiery red evil eyes gradually lost their color, and then, the whole body shook twice, and finally fell into the big green mountain.

I could only hear a loud bang, and the ground shook under my feet, and the dust and smoke flew up, almost impossible to see.

After a while, until the dust and smoke gradually fell again, and then I saw that the demon had no movement.

The huge body, suddenly, ignited a red flame, devouring it all.

There was a foul smell in the air, and the demon's body burned and scattered ashes, all over the sky, and when the wind blew, the bigger the fire, the faster the demon's body burned.

Suddenly, at the foot of a slope not far away, there was a shriveled but still excited cheer: "It's dead! Hahahaha, it's dead, look, it's dead!"

What followed was a tall and thin figure.

And behind it, there are also two figures, one fat and one thin, the thin one, the eyebrows are quite thick, and the face still looks a little honest.

These two people also looked surprised.

The clothes worn by the three of them may be a green shirt, but now it is difficult to recognize the appearance, there are stains and dirt spots everywhere, and they are tattered, just like beggars' clothes, even the three of them, and they are also extremely chaotic.

The three of them are all over their bodies, and maybe the long sword they hold in their hands may still be a little pretentious.

However, even with the current appearance, it is difficult to hide the joy on their faces, and even, looking at their appearance, it seems that they have long been unconcerned about their sloppy and embarrassed appearance.

These three people are naturally Liu Fatzi, Li Ji, and Gao Guangyang, who followed Liu Fufeng into Shangtang County to eliminate demons earlier.

They were also the only help sent to the boy by the Zhenjian Palace.

The three swordsmen, in the eyes of the young man, were like waste.

And in front of him, the demon who fell down and was devoured by the flames was none other than the demon who had seriously injured the Sword Saint of the Zhenjian Palace before.

A demon whose strength is comparable to that of a sword master.

Now, he fell in front of the three of them.

Four people, to be exact.

Forty flying swords suddenly flew out of the demon's body, and then fell behind the three people of the Zhenjian Palace.

Behind them was a handsome young man, dressed in white and clean, dragging a sword box in one hand, and forty flying swordfish flew into it.

The scene in front of me may be extremely incredible.

These four people, one swordsman and three swordsmen, killed a demon comparable to a sword master.

It was like a dream, but it just happened.

After Liu Fufeng put away the flying sword, he waved it with one hand, and the sword box was also put away. looked at the three of them with such demeanor, they were very disdainful, and they didn't even want to look at it.

Three wastes, it took more than a month to consume this demon to death, it was originally a wounded body, and its strength was only half of the original, but what was there to be happy about.

The young man thought so in his heart, and secretly frowned, but the time it took this time was much longer than expected, and many plans had to be delayed because of this.

Thinking about it like this, the mood at the moment was not very good, so he coldly said to the three of them: "You three, what are you screaming, come with me quickly." ”

When the three of them heard this, they were stunned, and when they turned their heads to look at the young man, they found that he had already walked, and the place where he was going was deeper than this big green mountain.

The three of them didn't dare to stay longer, and hurried to keep up with the young man's pace.

Then, Liu Fatzi followed behind the young man, looked at the young man with a shy face, and said respectfully: "That...... Senior Brother Liu, haven't we already killed this demon fighter? Isn't this demon disaster already resolved? We, shouldn't we go home, but why are we still going to the mountains?"

The other two also chimed in.

Now the three of them have learned to be obedient thoroughly, and they no longer dare to make a mistake in front of the young man, on the contrary, they have to be grateful to the young man, otherwise, they would have died under the gate of the entropy city.

Liu Fufeng snorted coldly, his pace did not stop, his head did not return, and said, "Who said that?"

When the three of them heard this, they were surprised and said, "Isn't it?"

Liu Fufeng sneered, but didn't speak again, just waved his hand back casually.

After following the boy for more than a month, the three of them understood what he meant by this gesture.

But it means, let them follow him.

Then, shut up.

Yes, although the three of them still had a stomach full of questions, they had to swallow them all, silently following the young man's steps.

The four of them walked in the mountains for a long time, and looked back at the place where the demon's body was burning, the fire had weakened, and they thought that the demon was almost burned out.

I don't know how far I walked, and suddenly, in front of the four of them, a cave suddenly appeared, and there was a faint paint inside, and there was not the slightest thing to see.

Liu Fufeng paused at his feet, then looked at it, and then walked into it without the slightest hesitation.

"Senior Brother Liu......" The three people behind them, looking at the darkness of the cave in front of them, were very weird, and they wanted to dissuade them, but they didn't expect to see the figure of the young man disappear into the cave.

The three of them looked at each other, hesitated, and then dared to stay here, but they hurriedly followed.

By now, the three of them have understood that in this Shangtang County, there may be danger anywhere, but staying by the young man's side is the safest!

It was the three of them who followed closely, but fortunately the young man did not walk far, and after entering the cave, he could still see his figure.

The cave is dark and difficult to see.

However, looking at Liu Fufeng's walking pace, it was like walking leisurely in his back garden, walking very easily, on the other hand, the three of them couldn't help but bump and bump along the way, and even more suddenly stumbled over the stones under their feet, landed on the ground with their faces, and a painful cry echoed in the cave.

I don't know how far they went, but the three of them saw the young man suddenly stop.

There was a faint purple light coming out of the front, and from time to time there was a red light, and there was, a well.

When the three of them saw it, they were extremely surprised, pointed to the well, and asked Liu Fufeng, "Senior Brother Liu, what is that?"

Liu Fufeng smiled, the face hidden in the darkness made people unable to see the smile like a spring breeze on it, and said, "That's it, the Demon Suppression Well." ”
