Kong Rui knew that the Qianren people must have a different battle plan from the previous one, otherwise they would not have sent troops and horses to come in this rainy season; and this time they blatantly sent people and horses, the Qianqian people should also know that Zhao Er and they had enough time to prepare, if they were not completely sure, I believe that the Qianjiu people would not be stupid enough to send troops at this time; and Kong Rui also knew that there was a forbidden disk in the valley to suppress the spirit disciples, and it would be difficult for the demon cultivators to break through the defenses there.

After thinking about it for a while, Kong Rui couldn't guess what the hole cards of the scheming people would be. Suddenly, he remembered that there had been a mole in his Wuxuanzong back then, could it be that Zhao Er and their team also had a mole? Thinking of this, Kong Rui couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and regardless of the worry that the cloud would be easily discovered, he decided to drive the cloud directly into the mountain that night, and quickly informed Zhao Er of them, and also let them take precautions in advance. At that moment, Kong Rui hurriedly finished dinner, and asked the guy to go to bed to meditate and pranayama after cleaning up.

In the second half of the night, the rain had not decreased, and Kong Rui didn't care much, so he opened the window and drove the clouds to the dark mountainous area.

After entering the mountainous area, he probably flew another cup of tea, Kong Rui felt a little bit of mana being suppressed, and he knew that it was the effect of the forbidden disk in the mine valley, so he hurriedly lowered the cloud head, and continued to fly forward while looking for the main road. The further he flew, the more obvious Kong Rui felt the suppression of his mana, and he also knew that if this was the case, the direction must be right.

Seeing that he had vaguely seen a big road in front of him, Kong Rui simply lowered the cloud and landed on the road, and without exerting his magic power, he walked along the road towards the mountains on foot; along the way, he also carefully observed the situation on the road, and saw that although the ground was muddy, there was no trace of a large group of people and horses, and he thought that he had finally arrived in front of the Qianjian, so he was a little relieved, and he did not dare to stop at the moment, and walked quickly towards the mountain.

Although it was only on foot, Kong Rui flew more than half of it, and the walking speed was also extremely fast, and he saw the mouth of the mine valley from a distance at dawn.

Seeing the flat land at the mouth of the valley from a distance, Kong Rui saw that Li was very different from when they attacked the valley: fifteen or sixteen wide trenches had been dug out of the open land at the mouth of the valley, and only a road two zhang wide was under the mouth of the valley, and the road was also serpentine-shaped, with deep trenches on both sides.

Although it rained heavily for many days, there was no water in the ditch, presumably to prevent the water in the trench from freezing in winter and losing the role of the trench, and a ditch was dug outside the trench to let the water out; the original gate at the mouth of the valley was strengthened a lot, and the city tower was also raised by one layer, and a red flag fluttered on the top of the city tower, and a black dragon was embroidered on the red flag, which was still the dragon flag of the Great Yan Kingdom, but I don't know whether it was intentional or the embroidery was not good, and the flag always looked weird; at the same time, you can also see the crossbows on each floor of the city tower, and there are people patrolling behind it。

Kong Rui saw Zhao Er and the others arranging it like this from a distance, not only did he nod his head secretly, but he thought that it was no wonder that in the past ten years, this place was still impregnable, and it turned out that the defense here was indeed good. He thought as he walked to the valley mouth.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" the people on the upper floor of Taniguchi Castle had already seen Kong Rui and shouted from afar.

"My surname is Kong, and I came to find Second Brother Zhao. You tell him what happened nine years ago, and he knows who I am. Kong Rui also replied.

The people on the city tower saw that Kong Rui was alone, and they couldn't see any danger, so they shouted: "You wait a while, I'll go and report." One of them ran back to report to Zhao Eryu.

Kong Rui was bored waiting below, so he walked a few steps forward, and heard someone shouting from the city tower: "You can't go any further, otherwise you will release arrows!" Kong Rui thought that this was the only way to ensure the safety of this mine valley for many years, so he stopped and stopped walking.

Zhao Er got up early in the morning, and just after practicing his fists and feet, he was about to wipe his sweat, when he heard someone report that a person surnamed Kong came to look for him, and also mentioned what happened nine years ago. Zhao Eryi heard that nine years ago, this person was also surnamed Kong, and immediately stopped wiping his sweat, picked up his clothes and put them on while walking, and said to the man: "Hurry up, hurry up!" The two hurried to the city tower.

Kong Rui's eyesight was excellent, and although he was still in the rain, he still clearly saw Zhao Er going up to the city tower. It's just that Kong Rui was still young when he left the mining valley, and nine years have passed, and he doesn't remember Zhao Er's appearance very clearly, and when he saw Zhao Er himself, he seemed to think of him a little, only to see that Zhao Er's appearance has not changed much, but time has passed, and there are a lot of vicissitudes on his face, but his expression is much more stable than before, and he has a vague general's demeanor, and hurriedly shouted: "Second Brother Zhao, I am Kong Rui, Kong Rui nine years ago, do you remember me?"

Zhao Er naturally remembered the events of the year, but at that time, Kong Rui was just a child under the age of eleven, and now the person in front of him is already a twenty-year-old young man; Zhao Er's eyesight is not as good as Kong Rui, and Kong Rui's appearance has also changed a lot, so he can't recognize a young man as the child back then. And now that the people are mobilizing troops and horses to prepare to encircle and suppress, Zhao Er didn't dare to trust an outsider easily, so he asked, "Why are you alone?"

Kong Rui didn't think about it so much, thinking that he was just concerned about Su Yun, so he said to him: "Sister Su Yun is cultivating in the sect, so she can't come together." ”

As soon as Zhao Er heard Kong Rui talk about Su Yun, he immediately knew that this person was Kong Rui, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Kong, wait a minute, I'll open the door for you." ”

Kong Rui entered the gate, and saw that there was still a relatively narrow passage inside, and some crossbows were set up on the high walls on both sides, and then there were such precautions inside, presumably because he was afraid that after the first line of defense was lost, the enemy would be able to attack the valley in one go, and there were three lines of defense set up on the passage at the mouth of the valley, and the tower of the second line of defense was very wide, and the soldiers could practice on it, and countless crossbows were set up on it; a huge dam was built in front of the last line of defense, and a lot of water was stored in the rainy season, and the top of the city tower was the puppets left by the people of the year; and after entering the valley mouth, it was all the way uphill, even if there were soldiers and horses charging, the speed can't be fast, and it's easy to be repelled by the people inside. Seeing such an arrangement, Kong Rui knew the reason why this valley had not fallen for so many years.

Zhao Er hurriedly ran down, and after seeing Kong Rui up close, he also vaguely found out what he looked like when he was a child, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Kong is finally back, let's go back and change my clothes first." "But it was Kong Rui who couldn't use his mana when he arrived here, and he didn't bring an umbrella, so he was already drenched, although it didn't have any effect on his body, but wet clothes were always uncomfortable to wear.

The two returned to Zhao Er's home in the mine valley together. Along the way, Zhao Er asked Kong Rui: "This farewell is nearly ten years, where is Brother Kong now?"

It turned out that Zhao Er also had calculations in his heart, when he saw that the Qianren were about to attack this mining valley on a large scale, Kong Rui, who had been away for nearly ten years, suddenly came to see him, and he didn't know what Kong Rui's purpose was, so he guessed that either Kong Rui was a member of other resistance organizations, and this time he knew that the Qianqian people were going to attack the mining valley on a large scale, and sent him to contact him to conspire against them; 。

"The younger brother has been cultivating in Wuxuan Sect all these years. Kong Rui didn't hide it.

Where did Zhao Er know anything about Wuxuanzong, he just wanted to say that as long as he didn't take refuge in the Xuanzong, he asked Kong Rui again: "Brother Kong, the foolish brother is lonely and unheard, what kind of place is this Wuxuanzong?"

Kong Rui reacted at this time, and said with a smile: "It's the junior brother who is negligent, Wuxuanzong is one of the four major human clan cultivation sects in our Great Yan Country. ”

Zhao Er still didn't seem to understand, but when he heard Kong Rui say that it was the four major cultivation sects, he immediately remembered that the sinister demon cultivator who he had seen in the mine valley used his magical powers to kill people, and when Kong Rui and Su Yun left, they repeatedly told them not to mess with the thing full of strange runes, saying that it could suppress the spirit disciples, and he guessed a little, and immediately said happily: "Brother Kong, you mean that you can also take off the clouds and fog now?"

"The little brother is indeed able to barely drive away the clouds. Kong Rui nodded.

"Brother Kong, do you remember the one who could fly through the clouds and fog in the valley back then?" Zhao Er hurriedly asked.

Kong Rui naturally remembered the Demon Cultivator who died at his hands, so he said, "This one naturally remembers. ”

"That brother fights him, does he have a chance of winning?" Zhao Er hurriedly asked again.

"The younger brother will definitely win. Kong Rui smiled and said confidently.
