After running west to the west for more than ten days, the army crossed Xiling Pass and finally came to Laiyun City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Laiyun City is naturally not a big city, but in this already desolate Xiliang, it is also a rare fortress, so the caravans and even grain and grass that travel between Xiling and Yongning will choose to pass through here, and therefore, Laiyun has become the throat connecting the checkpoints between the two places.

After the news came that the barbarians would send strange soldiers to bypass the Langya Mountain to attack, it could be said that people in Laiyun City were panicking.

The old city lord was looking forward to the army of Zhenxiguan.

Now that the army has arrived, the old lady guards even organized residents to welcome them.

"General Zhen, you're here. The army had just entered the city, and the old lady actively ordered the army to stay in the barracks that had been prepared, and began to speak with his hand holding Zhenxiguan.

It can be seen that this old lady still has some prestige, and Zhenxiguan, who has always been unsmiling, also looks quite respectful when facing this old man.

"Zhen is late, I hope Yuan Lao will forgive me. ”

"Where is the general of the town, the national disaster is at the head, many people who talk about it on weekdays are now avoided, only the general, you still dare to come to my Laiyun and save my people!

"Yuan Lao has won the award. My father and grandparents all died in Xiliang, this country is hated by the family, and the town can't stay out of the matter because of reason and reason. Zhen Xiguan responded. The attitude is humble, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Haha, General Zhen really has the style of your father, come, I have prepared a dinner, and I will definitely entertain General Zhen and all the soldiers today!" said the old man surnamed Yuan.

Zhenxiguan frowned when he heard this, and said: "Yuan Lao's heart is received by Zhen Mou, but the enemy is current..."

The old man seemed to have expected Zhenxiguan to have such words, he laughed for a while, then reached out and patted Zhenxiguan's shoulder, and said: "General Zhen, don't worry, how can someone Yuan delay this military event, there is only food today, no wine." On the day of triumph, I will not get drunk with the officers and men of the three armies!"

When Zhenxiguan heard this, he put his mind at ease, bowed to the old man, and led Su Changan and his generals to walk towards the Taishou Mansion with the old man.

The Taishou Mansion in Laiyun City is naturally not magnificent, but the food on this table is extremely delicious. As soon as everyone sat down, Su Changan, who was sitting on the same desk with Qingluan, smelled an appetizing aroma.

"All the soldiers have come from afar, and the old man is here to replace the wine with tea, and I will give you a cup of wine on behalf of the people of Laiyun City. The old man's voice sounded at this moment, and he stood up, although his figure looked a little rickety because of his old age, but he was full of energy.

Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses and drank with them.

When everyone sat down here, Zhenxiguan, who was sitting in the first seat, looked at the old man on the stage and asked, "Old Yuan, I don't know what the situation in Laiyun City is now, how is the city defense, and how many defenders are there?"

The old man shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You child, but you are the same as your father. ”

Although he said so, after the old man groaned slightly, he still explained the situation in Laiyun City one by one.

"Don't hide it from you, since the news of the arrival of the barbarian army came, my Laiyun City can be said to be panicked, in less than two months, the people who walked and fled have gone to thirty percent of the residents, and every day more people are dragging their families and mouths away. There are not many defenders, about seven hundred, but they are all good hands in the Nine Star Realm, and since receiving the news of General Guan, the old man has not slackened, strengthened patrols every day, and ordered craftsmen to strengthen the city day and night. A few days ago, he also borrowed three divine crossbows from King Wu. ”

"Yes. Zhenxiguan nodded when he heard this, although the monks of the Seven Hundred and Nine Star Realm are not strong, they can be regarded as an elite, and they are better than nothing. As for the three divine machine crossbows, they are real weapons, and the entire Xiliang battlefield together is only a hundred, and most of them are held in the hands of Fu Sanqian. Compared to the monks of the Seven Hundred and Nine Star Realm, these three Divine Machine Crossbows can be called an unexpected joy.

"By the way, General Zhen, the old man still has a reluctant request. The old man suddenly looked straight and said.

"Elder Yuan, please speak. Zhen Xiguan responded.

"I have a dog under my knees, and I have the ability to practice in the academy in Chang'an, but when I heard about the change in Laiyun, I ran back with some classmates a few days ago, saying that I wanted to help Yuan defend against foreigners. This general and all the soldiers came thousands of miles to my Laiyun to help in the war, and I, Yuan, naturally did not hesitate to kill my dogs. But after all, they are young, and they may only lose their lives when they go to the battlefield, so the old man wants to send them to the general's tent to polish them. Speaking of this, the old man paused and added: "The old man does not ask the general to give him a half-official position, but even if he sits on a horse, it is better than messing around by himself." ”

"Yuan Gongzi has this ambition, it is a blessing for Laiyun, and Zhen should do his best to help. I want to settle the soldiers in the next few days, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient, if Yuan Lao does not give up, let your son come to our army in three days to report. Naturally, I'll get it right. Zhenxiguan rarely showed a smile.

After getting the consent of Zhenxiguan, the old man was naturally extremely happy, and the next time was really staggered, and the host and guest were happy.

When the banquet dispersed, Su Changan handed over the arrangement of the residence to Hu Zi and Liu Changyu, and took Qingluan to live in the wing room arranged for them by the old lady.

In the past few days, he gradually felt that his cultivation had shown signs of recovery, which was crucial for the upcoming battle. As long as he returns to the Earth Spirit Realm, he can summon his Realm Tianlan, so that ordinary monks below the Dao Realm have the strength to fight.

Therefore, he also put down the power of the past few days, and began to cultivate with all his strength, striving to recover the realm as soon as possible.

But perhaps because he was too anxious, Su Changan obviously felt that he had touched the threshold of the Earth Spirit Realm again, but he couldn't break through that layer of sandpaper no matter what.

Three days have passed, and Su Changan has made no progress, and Qingluan naturally sees his anxiety, but he can't help anything, so he can only persuade him from time to time.

On the evening of the third day, when the time came, Su Changan's closed eyes suddenly opened, and Qingluan on the side seemed to feel something, and he also stood up and looked at Su Changan.

But Su Changan smiled bitterly and shook his head at her, and Qingluan knew that Su Changan had failed again this time.

was about to say something, but saw Su Changan suddenly stand up and said, "I want to go out for a walk alone." With that, he pushed open the door and went out in the night.

Qingluan also felt that Su Changan had pushed himself too hard these days, maybe let him calm down for a while, and it would get better. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he sat down and did not follow.

In a sense, Laiyun City has many similarities with Changmen Town, where Su Changan grew up.

Of course, Nagato does not have the scale of Lai Yun, nor can it be as prosperous as it.

But there is one thing, they are all located on the side.

People have seen a lot of fighting between foreigners and armies, and every time there are more defenders in the city, they will not feel at ease, but will be more and more frightened, because the more defenders, the more likely it is that war will break out here.

The nearly 10,000 troops that have poured into the city in the past few days naturally cannot hide from the eyes of the people in the city.

This has made Laiyun City, which was already panicked, become more and more chaotic recently, more and more people began to drag their families away, and the soldiers were busy imitating, and inevitably neglected to maintain law and order in the city, and some robberies happened more and more frequently.

Su Changan walked in the streets of Laiyun City, and said that this official road called Xingfu Street used to be the most prosperous disturbance in Laiyun City.

But now the wine shops are empty, and there is no light in the dark street, let alone the dark night like day

The sight.

Su Changan's brows furrowed, but it was not only because of the cultivation bottleneck these days, nor because of the coming barbarian iron hoof.

He thinks more and further.

About Tianlan, about the Protoss, about Beitongxuan.

He was vaguely aware of something, but he couldn't understand it for a while.

It's as if there is an invisible thread that connects everything, all people.

He felt he needed to find the thread and peel back the cocoon before he could get the answer he wanted. And in this thread, Beitong Xuan should be a very important link, so he needs to see him, not only to relieve himself of the trouble of divine blood, but also because, there are many questions that he needs to get answers from him.

But until then, he had to hold on to Layyun.

This is of course a very dangerous thing, he can actually take Qingluan away, after all, with his cultivation, there are artifacts such as Xiahou blood and Shifang Sword, even if Zhenxiguan personally takes action, he may not be able to completely leave him.

It's just that Guan Canghai saved his life after all, although Guan Canghai's actions are somewhat of taking advantage of people's dangers, but Su Changan remembers that Yu Heng once taught him that people live for a lifetime, and they should have a clear conscience.

He felt that this was right, so he took it as a truth, remembered it in his heart, and used it in the world.

Thinking so, Su Changan suddenly found that not far ahead, there was still a wine shop still lit up, and he felt that the lights of the lonely house in the dark night were a little strange no matter how he looked at it. Moreover, Laiyun City is not peaceful these days, and it is still a little dangerous for a liquor store to open so late.

But in the final analysis, this is just a matter of the shopkeeper of the hotel, and Su Changan has no intention of meddling.

He looked at the sky and felt that the hour was not too early, and he was about to turn and leave.

But suddenly I heard an old man talking drunken like a dream from the wine shop.

"The book and sword are half a life of yellow sorghum dreams, and there are three thousand green clouds floating white!"

The voice paused, then burst into a maniacal laugh.

"Haha! Good poetry, good poetry!"
