Wan Peng said, "Go to their capital, Jinyang." We only get there to get more information. Otherwise, staying here, we don't know anything, but it's just a waste of time. ”

Xie Ting hesitated a little and said, "However, even if we go to Jinyang City, we may not be able to get much information." I think we might as well start with the northern branch of the Fass clan and help us get some useful information through their connections. They shouldn't have left yet, and it should be too late for us to rush back. ”

Wan Peng shook his head, "No." The Fass clan, especially the northern sect branch itself, has already made too much trouble, and at this time, let them help, first, they may not be able to take care of it, and second, if they are found to be diverted to helping us find the Lingyun Secret Jane, we may immediately enter the attention of the authorities. In this way, the road behind is even more difficult. ”

Xie Ting knew that Wan Peng had made up his mind, and his analysis was not unreasonable, so he didn't speak again, but silently and habitually sorted out the medicinal materials he carried with him.

Nothing happened overnight. Early the next morning, Wan Peng and Xie Ting traveled lightly, but wherever there were sparsely populated places that would not attract attention, they flew at high altitude, and if they encountered some settlements, especially relatively large towns, they would also descend at a safe distance and then walk through.

In these towns, their understanding of Jinxiao is also gradually deepening.

The next afternoon. Jinyang City is already in sight, and the grandeur of the capital makes Wan Peng and Xie Ting sigh from the depths of their hearts.

The construction concept of Jinyang City is different from any capital city that Wanpeng has seen. While most of the other capitals have slowly formed a metropolis in the form of natural development, Jinyang City has obviously been carefully planned.

When it was still a hundred miles away from the city, the villages and cultivated land around the city were already located in a regular manner, and the roads in it were specially trimmed, which was smooth and did not accumulate rainwater.

Ten miles away, the towering city walls and towers of Jinyang City are glowing with a golden color. The closer you go, the more you can feel its momentum. Near the gate of the wall, the tower is about 20 zhang high, and the materials and decorations are so exquisite that people can't help but want to stop and take a few more looks.

The guards at the city gate are not complicated, they are just ordinary posts, and they generally do not inspect the people who enter and exit. It was only when they encountered some people who obviously didn't look like good people on the outside, that the guards came forward to confirm their identities and compare them with the portraits on the same wanted notice.

Without any trouble, Wan Peng and Xie Ting entered the city smoothly. In fact, after entering the city wall, it was still far from the core of Jinyang City, at least fifty miles away. The city was divided into different areas, each of which resembled a small city, but there were no special walls, only some guards at key passes.

The planning in Jinyang City is also quite detailed. Whether it is a residential area or a commercial area, every place and every detail is well organized. Even the public toilets in the city have a uniform style and orientation.

It's no wonder that Jinxiao can have the strength to compete with Chixiao. Because from the construction of this city, it can be seen that Jinxiao's managers are extremely attentive and creative.

Wan Peng and Xie Ting went all the way in, and after arriving at a more core area of Jinyang City, they found an inn to live in. The scale of this inn is not small, especially the halls on the first and second floors are very large, and the palms inside are full of people eating and resting, from different accents and different topics, you can judge that there is everything in all walks of life. If you sit here all day, you might be able to learn a lot of interesting things.

After a brief settlement, Wan Peng and Xie Ting came to the hall on the first floor. They were supposed to eat, too, so they ordered something to eat and turned their attention to what the people in the hall were talking about.

On a table about two feet away from Wan Peng's table, there were four people wearing Jinxiao regular army uniforms, which was also the focus of Wan Peng's monitoring.

All four of them seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol, and one of them was visibly blind, and seemed to be drunk for seven or eight minutes. He slapped the table at this time, "His grandmother's, brother, I am not convinced." Why did he, Zhao Er'er, replace me as captain and lead the troops to Xuanxiao? And where am I inferior to him? Phew, the employment of people is unfair, the employment of people is unfair. ”

Another person chimed in, "That's right, if the eldest brother goes this time, he must have made great achievements, and maybe after he comes back, he will be directly promoted to a general, and his name will go down in history, and he will be glorious and rich." ”

As soon as he said this, the so-called eldest brother seemed even more unhappy in his heart, and took another big sip of wine. But the person sitting opposite the eldest brother seemed very calm, "The eldest brother actually doesn't have to think about it like this." As far as I know, Duan Xueliu was ordered by President Duan Qing to march into Xuanxiao and won thirteen cities within a month. However, the follow-up was resisted by Xuan Xiao, and I heard that there was a woman surnamed Hou, who was extremely skilled in the application of the art of war, and Duan Xueliu suffered a lot of losses. If the eldest brother doesn't go to Xuanxiao, maybe it's still a good thing. ”

The eldest brother took another sip of wine, "Third brother, you don't know anything." I have friends in the military aircraft department, and I have received more information than you. Why did President Duan suddenly send more troops to Xuanxiao this time? The reason is very simple, because the confrontation with Xuanxiao has been resolved! That woman who is Hou or something, some time ago, was defeated by our troops, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect herself now. Therefore, President Duan seized the opportunity and sent people to make meritorious contributions. Didn't you notice that Duan Xueliu's son had withdrawn, and now it was Duan Xuehai's son who was sent out. What does that mean? Think about it. ”

He paused for a moment and said to himself, "Duan Xuehai, the eldest son of President Duan Qing, is also the golden period of the development of his career now. It's just that he is still young, and whether it is in domestic affairs or foreign affairs, he still lacks some achievements that can be picked up. Therefore, Duan Qing sent him out this time to gild him well. In other words, the people who are sent out again this time can all come back with their military exploits!"

When Wan Peng heard this, he was about to sit still. Jinxiao sent an army to attack Xuanxiao, he knew it, and he also studied a series of battle formation tactics and handed them over to Hou Ruoting, who acted as the organizer of a Xuanxiao cultivator's resistance to foreign invasion. However, they actually said that Xuan Xiao is defeated now?

This is definitely not good news at any given time. Although Wan Peng knew that it was inevitable for Xuan Xiao to lose in the war with Jinxiao, it was not easy for him to accept the news so quickly.

Because this is about the current Lingyun City!

If Xuanxiao is defeated, Senior Sister Hou Ruoting will definitely be in a disadvantageous position as they said. And she is now the city lord of Lingyun City.

Lingyun City is a new city. If the city lord has three longs and two shorts, how can Lingyun City live in peace!

While listening, Wan Peng involuntarily clenched the water glass in his hand. At the critical moment, there was a snap, and the water glass was crushed.

Still, he insisted on hearing the conversation of these people to the end. If something happened in the Xuanxiao Cultivator Realm that caused the cultivator to fall into a passive defeat, then the objective facts that had been formed could not be reversed in a minute and a half. Therefore, although Wan Peng was anxious, he still did not give up the opportunity to get more information.

However, the topic of those four people, as the amount of alcohol they drank, slowly deviated from the main line just now. After about an hour, all four of them left in a haunting manner. Wan Peng also got up at this time, pulled Xie Ting over, and strode out.

His goal is to get out of town. Jinyang City must be the capital of Jinxiao, and there may be any kind of masters among them, including Duan Qing or a person who has obtained the inheritance of the gods. Using the Nine Heavens Pass here, Wan Peng is afraid that he will bring some trouble. Therefore, he took Xie Ting and left Jinyang City for a hundred miles, and after using the formation to isolate it, he used the Nine Heavens Passage to open the passage and go straight to Xuanxiao.

However, even so, Duan Qing, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, still opened his eyes with some doubts. He muttered, "Weird. What kind of person could it be that used the Nine Heavens Passage? The passage between the Nine Heavens, except for some emergencies that were in the hands of the rulers of each Heaven, and were strictly restricted by Chixiao, the others had long been closed. Could it be that it's a Chixiao person again?"

He took a deep breath and looked more closely, but found nothing.

Lingyun City.

The place where Wan Peng and Xie Ting are located is the courtyard where Wan Peng originally lived. It's still neat and tidy, and there's no dust or debris in every corner, apparently it was cleaned not long ago. Returning to his homeland, and thinking of the days when the Lingyun Sect was still there, Wan Peng couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

But he quickly kept his emotions under control. glanced at Xie Ting, "I'm going to find Senior Sister Hou now." You haven't been back for a long time, so why don't you go to Baicaotang to see your brother. An hour later, we meet again. ”

Xie Ting nodded, "Okay." The two were about to leave, but a disciple with cleaning tools came in from outside the courtyard, and when they saw Wan Peng and Xie Ting standing in the courtyard, they were surprised and vigilant, and first asked, "Who are you?" and then shouted behind them, "Senior brother, senior brother, there are two strangers in the courtyard!"

Before allowing Wanpeng to explain, he saw three more people running outside the door, all of whom had an expression of facing a great enemy. However, as soon as the leader entered the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then two lines of tears flowed down, "Senior Brother Wanpeng, are you back......?"

Wan Peng's heart tightened, "What's wrong?"
