Although the soldier had already let him go, Shen Qing didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, but stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask what happened, it's not the first time that Lijiang County has come here, why does it look a little different today than before?"

"Uh...... This ......" The soldier heard Shen Qing ask, and his words were a little slurred, as if something was difficult to say.

Shen Qing also saw that he seemed a little inconvenient to answer, so he said, "Since it's inconvenient to say, then forget it."

When the soldier heard Shen Qing say this, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and replied to Shen Qing: "Forget it, originally the orders of the superiors in this matter could not be leaked, but since Shen Daxia asked, then I have nothing to hide" After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Shen Qing and motioned for Shen Qing to speak to the side.

Shen Qing nodded, turned around and gestured to Qi Yue, handed the reins to Qi Yue, and followed the soldier to a place where there was no one on the side.

After looking around and making sure that there was no one, Shen Qing said to the soldier: "There is no one here, now you can tell me what happened."

The soldier also looked around, and after no one could hear the words of the two of them, he said to Shen Qing: "Does Shen Daxia know the news that the imperial army started a war with Yanting Kingdom a few months ago?"

Shen Qing nodded, "Of course, although I am a person in the rivers and lakes, I still know a little about such major matters, but the war has been going on in the south, and several counties in my north have not been invaded by the war, how can I ...... Isn't it?"

The soldier waved his hand again and again when he heard this, "The hero has misunderstood, although the imperial army has been at a disadvantage now, but it is not enough to fight to the north."

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, if Yanting Kingdom's army hits the north, the task of going down the mountain this time will not be easy" thought in his heart.

"Even so, then why ......?" Shen Qing glanced at the city tower, only to see that there were obviously many more soldiers patrolling the city tower than usual, the meaning was obvious, he wanted to know what was going on.

"That's right, although the south has been in the midst of war, but my northern counties are quite stable because they are far away, and there are still natural dangers of the Li River, but just a few days ago, the marshal of my northern Chiming Army, General Li, received a secret letter, which mentioned that the Yanting Kingdom and the Mixed Yuan Sect of my Linxian Kingdom secretly joined forces to capture Yeming City one day."

"What!Bright City!" Shen Qing said in surprise. It's no wonder that Shen Qing will be surprised, Yeming City is the county seat of Beizhou County, not only that, this city is built on the north bank of the Li River, occupying the north-south traffic artery of the Li River, and it is the most important city connecting the north and south of the Linxian Kingdom, once the Yeming City is occupied, not only the Linxian Kingdom will be divided into two, the north and the south will lose contact, and even the army of the Yanting Kingdom can go all the way north from the Yeming City unimpeded, and then the entire north will become a battlefield, and Shen Qing's task of going down the mountain to collect disciples will not be completed, so Shen Qing was extremely surprised when he heard the news.

"How is this possible, Luminous City is heavily guarded, and the army of Yanting Kingdom is not familiar with water warfare, so they can't cross the Li River at all, in such a situation, how could they choose to attack Luminous City?"

"Hero, listen to me and tell you slowly" The soldier saw that Shen Qing was puzzled, so he explained slowly and unhurriedly: " Here's the thing, a month ago, the army of the imperial court was defeated and retreated one after another in the war of Yanting Kingdom, and even the Nanli City on the south bank has been occupied, so now the naval army of Yanting State can already attack Yeming City through the port of Nanli City, but although the infantry of Yanting Country is powerful, but in terms of water warfare, it is far inferior to the water army of our court, and it has suffered several defeats in succession, losing tens of thousands of naval troops, and is helpless against Yeming City for a while, coupled with the gradual counterattack of the southern army, Nanli City, which is not easy to get hold of, has become a useless place, and it has also consumed troops in vain, and the enemy general Dongfang Division is anxious”

Shen Qing nodded, as if he thought that the situation of the general of the Yanting Kingdom should be very difficult, "According to what you said, the current form is relatively favorable to my north, but what happened to you just said that the Mixed Yuan Sect wants to join forces with the Yanting Kingdom?"

"That Dongfang Si should have been extremely anxious, but some time ago, he secretly sent someone to contact the evil sect Mixed Yuan Sect that has been entrenched in my north, and I don't know what promise he made to say that the Mixed Yuan Sect and it will join forces with one inside and one outside, and use fireworks as the number, and the inside and outside should be attacked

Occupy Yeming City, so when the old general received this secret letter, he was shocked, that Mixed Yuan Sect was originally a person in the evil way, and usually escaped and in the market, most of its disciples were some crazy people, poisoning, assassination and other Jianghu methods are their usual tricks, if when the army of Yanting Kingdom attacked, the disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect created chaos in Yeming City, the consequences would be unimaginable, so at the moment ordered all states and counties to strictly investigate the people in the rivers and lakes, especially those who went to Beizhou County, so I just offended Shen Daxia, I am really sorry”

Looking at the soldier's apologetic expression, Shen Qing didn't get angry, but said, "It's okay, it's just some small things, but I still don't know anything."

"Shen Daxia, please say, I must know everything"

"You just said that General Li received a secret letter, which said that Yan Tingguo and Mixed Yuan Sect had joined forces to capture Yeming City, but where did this letter come from, and how could General Li distinguish the authenticity from it?"

"This ...... Don't hide it from the hero, I don't know about this matter, I only know that the orders are passed down from level to level, and as for the specific details, my position is too low, so I have no way of knowing."

Seeing that the soldier really didn't know, Shen Qing didn't continue to ask, seeing that it was getting late, the sunset was only a faint afterglow, and the night was about to fall, and he was about to leave.

The soldier suddenly said: "Shen Daxia, there is still a reluctant invitation below."

Shen Qing was puzzled, "Hmm, is there anything else?"

"Please also ask Shen Daxia not to tell a third party about today's incident, otherwise he will be blamed for the crime."

"Well, don't worry, I promise you," Shen Qing said.

Seeing that Shen Qing promised himself, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Even so, then Shen Daxia will please" After speaking, he walked towards his original post.

Shen Qing came to Qi Yue's side, took the reins and said, "Senior brother, let's go" After speaking, he walked towards the city without waiting for Qi Yue.

Qi Yue waited at the gate of the city for a long time, and saw that Shen Qing and the soldier in the distance seemed to be talking about something important, and after waiting for a long time, he saw that the sky was about to get dark, and finally saw that the two seemed to be finished, and after seeing Shen Qing coming, he wanted to ask them what they said.

I didn't expect Shen Qing to say such a sentence and leave, although he was very depressed, he knew that Shen Qing's character was something he didn't want to say, he would deliberately avoid it, even if you asked him, he wouldn't say it.

Seeing Shen Qing walking farther and farther, Qi Yue had no choice but to follow.

When night fell, every household in Lijiang County had already lit up their lights, walking on the street while feeling the lights of thousands of homes, Qi Yue felt a little melancholy in his heart, "It's been down the mountain for many days, I don't know what the master and the two senior brothers are doing on the mountain, and where are we going after so many days?"

These days, he asked Shen Qing on the side, but every time Shen Qing smiled lightly, but did not answer, which made Qi Yue a little apprehensive.

"Senior brother, there is an inn in front, let's stay there tonight" Shen Qing's voice sounded in his ears.

"Ah......" Qi Yue came back to his senses and saw that there was indeed an inn in front of him, and it was different from other places, although night had come, there seemed to be quite a lot of people at the door of the inn from a distance.

"Senior brother, there seem to be quite a lot of people in front, I don't know if there is a room" Qi Yue said with some concern.

"Well, this Lijiang County is really the intersection of the two counties, and there are a lot of business travelers, let's go faster, let's ask" After speaking, he accelerated and walked forward.

When he came to the door of the inn, he saw that the signboard said Jiangyuan Inn, and a small house was standing at the door to greet the passengers, Shen Qing went forward and asked, "Little brother, there are still rooms, bring us two."

"Yo~~ Look at what you said, we don't have anything else to open an inn, there are so many rooms, come to the two of you, please" said while inviting the two of them inside, while taking the reins of the two, and telling the horse to another little guy to lead to the backyard.

After learning that their room was on the second floor at the shopkeeper's place, the two of them followed the little maid to their own room, the rooms of the two were next to each other, and before and after coming to their own door, Shen Qing said to Qi Yue: "Senior brother, Xiao Er will bring food in a while, and rest early after dinner."

"Yes, senior brother, you should also rest early" After speaking, Qi Yue pushed the door and walked into his room.

Lying on the bed, the body that had been tired for a day suddenly felt extremely sleepy, and the day's travel, coupled with some injuries last night, made Qi Yue's eyes sink more and more.

"Coo-......" In the early morning, Qi Yue was awakened from hunger, touching his cooing belly, looking around for something to eat, but there seemed to be nothing else in the room except tea.

"Strange, I obviously ordered dinner last night, why didn't I send it up, did Xiao Er forget?" scratching his head, he walked out, passing by Shen Qing's room, and found that the door was open, and when he looked inside, the room was empty, but the luggage was still there, "I should have gone to breakfast" Thinking like this, he walked downstairs.

As soon as I went downstairs, I met Xiao Er, who greeted them yesterday, and the Xiao Er saw that it was Qi Yue, and walked over and asked: "Guest officer, you are resting well, I went to bring you dinner last night, knocked on the door and no one opened, the guest officer who came with you said that you may be asleep, let me not disturb you, so I didn't bother you anymore"

"Oh, I see, I thought you forgot, it seems that I slept too heavily last night, forget it, prepare me a breakfast, and send it to my room later" Qi Yue said depressedly.
