As night fell, the wind and rain suddenly became heavy.
Amidst the sound of rain, the cavalry in coir raincoats and light armor galloped rapidly. The rainfor days had flooded the official road, which was dark under the light of more than a dozen torches.
While running all the way, Lu Ming frowned tightly.
The torch illuminates the road, but cannot illuminate the destiny. The eyes are completely dark.
I heard that war chess games are popular in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital, but after experiencing the war, I realized that war games cannot cover it. On the real battlefield, all kinds of accidents are everywhere, and this kind of confusion and fog of war has reached the point of life and death crisis.
As the head of a county, he is of course the current commander-in-chief of the county. However, there are not many elite soldiers in the county, and the most powerful force among the squires does not obey orders.
abandon?
It's easy to say, the Ye family is the northwest barrier. If it falls, the magician will definitely attack the county town overnight... Even if the county government can hold on and the women and children are fine, what about the old, young and men outside?
The whole city was slaughtered, and even though I, the county magistrate, had not died in the battle, I would have to commit suicide by committing suicide.
Only then did I realize that Ye Qing’s description of “the first discovered den of thieves” was not so lucrative.
I was deceived by this guy again...
Lu Ming was thinking about it when his heart palpitated suddenly.
"Stop." Lu Ming suddenly reined in his horse in the road, looking at the green and black woods under his bamboo hat: "Where is this?"
"County Lord, this is Hongyeping. It is just five miles outside the county town and still twenty-five miles away from Ye Mansion." A close clan guard who followed closely responded, meaning that it should be safe here.
A cold shadow drifted through his mind. There was clearly no movement in front of him, but Lu Ming lowered his voice: "If there is a problem, be prepared..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sneer of "chi".
As the rain curtain broke, there was a biting wind: "Go to hell"
"Protect the County Lord (Sir)"
The sword is unsheathed, the bow bag is opened, the Taoist talismans are exploded, and the horse's hooves are accelerating...
For most ordinary magicians, they can kill them when they get close. Even if they are real people, as long as they haven't transformed their flesh into an immortal body for a day, this weakness will still exist.
At this time, a faint breeze blew by, and the riders in front groaned and fell down silently.
"It's the enemy magician"
Lu Ming's three-foot clear light rose up, and the golden armor appeared out of thin air. This was very timely. A ghost thorn suddenly hit his heart, and only a muffled groan was heard, which disappeared.
But this golden armor technique is also a bit thinner.
"Hey, I didn't expect to spy on a big fish..." Youfeng retreated and circled around everyone, a little surprised: "Are you the official here? A weirdo who practices Taoism but not law? I heard that elite monks like you have to open up the spirit."
Will you be willing to practice Dharma after you have ponded the pond?"
After seeing clearly that there was only this layer of black armor, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Without the blessing of the spiritual pool, you deserve to die."
As soon as the magical power unfolded, violent mana fluctuations pushed out a wave of spiritual power, and the sky was filled with ghost thorns raining down. There were nearly a hundred in number. Some of the guards held shields to defend Lu Ming, and some shot desperately, but none of them could accurately capture its figure.
.
Lu Ming shook hands attentively, and the rainwater condensed into ice arrows as soon as they were caught, and shot quickly... penetrated the quiet wind, and it was a phantom.
"Hahaha, I know you have learned a little bit recently. This power is pretty good, but you haven't been able to distinguish illusions. You can't master the reconnaissance skills." A voice came from behind.
brush--
Another arrow missed.
Lu Ming could no longer care about the sarcasm. He cast spells one after another but couldn't detect his true identity. Simple black armor spells couldn't be superimposed, so he couldn't help but turn pale.
The person opposite should be just a Qi training layer, not a real person. If I could practice and study spells two years earlier... But who knows that there will be a catastrophe?
"If I die, there will be a chain reaction in the city. If the Ye family attacks and is defeated, Pingshou County will be completely destroyed..."
boom
Just as he was thinking, a sword light descended from the sky, like a golden sun bursting out in the night sky, sweeping away everything in an instant, and a sword penetrated a dark figure on the road ahead.
The swordsman in linen clothes and bare feet shook his hand and drew his sword.
"Sword Immortal..." the magician screamed, his whole body shattered.
The light flashed slightly, and there was a weak and indistinguishable wind fleeing into the forest a hundred meters away. Panic overwhelmed it... How could there be a sword fairy? No... not the original one, just a clone.
Thanks to my special bloodline and the fact that I have a clone, I am not afraid...
It said so, but in the afterglow of the gorgeous golden sword light behind it, it didn't dare to look back at all, and just tried to escape - there are also sword cultivators and even sword immortals in this area, which are also very rare, but they all know that they specialize in fighting. The great thing about cultivators is that they have no trump card and will die if they are provoked.
He was about to escape from danger, and while he was running away, a breeze blew by with the breath of the fairy spirit... The clone melted away, and his body and soul disappeared silently.
One sword is just a residual power.
Lu Ming didn't even feel the reversal of life and death that happened in the distance. He just thought that the magician was eliminated on the spot. At this time, he quickly bowed and saluted: "Lu Ming has seen an immortal and dared to ask for the immortal's name?"
Standing in the rain was this unassuming man in gray linen clothes. He glanced at the direction in which the magician was running in secret, and inserted the same gray sword back into his back.
His long hair was disheveled, he was barefoot, and he looked down and out. He didn't have the heroic spirit of a swordsman at all, let alone the grace of a swordsman.
Everyone present looked at each other in shock, but after seeing that stunning sword strike, who dared to be really rude?
"Just call me Liyun, I'm looking for you..." Sword Immortal Liyun waved his hand, and just as he was about to speak, a black and white net appeared in the void.
This was a message, and it was quickly connected, and a golden light was instantly connected.
The docking is completed.
The only voice it could hear asked: "Have you found it? I'm almost to Yingzhou..."
"I just found the latest clue about that heavenly being, please don't bother me."
What floats in the sea of black and white is countless task information, both public and private. Most of them respond to local affairs and are processed in sequence. Black is the solid color of the base, which has been processed and precipitated, while ordinary writing appears white, and the writing is dedicated to gods. Only then did I see red.
And beyond the golden light above the ocean, each channel is a mission communication, dedicated to fairy writing, which is more effective: "Which heavenly being?"
The golden light opposite "Pingshou Yeqing" was silent for a while, it was remembering... without any impression.
"Are you sure?" The person on the other side revealed his suspicion: "The tracing location is the transfer report from the Shuifu base station in Nancang County...
"Of course this is a new heavenly being. Do you know how I found this name?"
Jianxian was angry: "The chief and deputy envoys of the Shui Mansion went on a rainy trip in Dudu and haven't come back for the past three days. They checked with the county government again and found that the county guard was away because of something. He went to inspect the wine industry. The county magistrate told him that it could only be Pingshou. Ye Qing from the county asked me to find the county magistrate Pingshou at the specific address... Here, the magistrate is not here either. I just caught him on the road and was almost killed by an evil spirit. I am questioning him..."
"You continue to track on the ground, and I will check again." The other party decisively closed the communication.
"Hello?"
Liyun Sword Immortal listened attentively, but the sound was gone. He turned back and looked at Lu Ming: "Are you the magistrate of Pingshou County?"
"That's right, the official."
The sword fairy didn't want to get involved, so he got into the subject quickly and said: "We are here for encirclement and suppression. Since you are the county magistrate, there is a heavenly being in your county who reported the discovery of the demon nest in the outside world..."
"Demon Nest of the Outer Realm" Lu Ming was stunned. His mind was in a trance, and he suspected that he was hearing hallucinations. Wasn't he a magician sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty?
Why did the Demon Nest of Outland appear again?
Yun Jianxian spoke very quickly: "Don't you understand? The court will soon continue to lower the right to know about the Demon Nest in the Outer Realm. You are the county magistrate and you are already qualified to know."
"You can just go back and inquire. I'm very busy right now, so I can only briefly communicate with you..."
Lu Ming quickly responded: "If this outer demon nest is the original bandit nest, I know this and I know the location."
"Uh, you know? Aren't you the county magistrate? Your name is Ye Qing?" Jianxian immediately stared at him and finally found this guy.
"No, I'm Lu Ming." Lu Ming didn't want to hear Ye Qing's name tonight. He didn't understand the whole thing yet, but he would never dare to complain in front of an immortal - even if it might be an immortal's clone.
"Reporting to the Sword Immortal, it was Ye Qing who was under my rule who was attacked by a magician last night, and he was tortured during the fight..."
"Oh?" Liyun Sword Immortal averted his gaze. Since this was not Ye Qing, he was not interested in listening to him talk so much. He waved his hand: "Just tell me the address of the lair."
"It's in a valley a hundred and twenty miles northwest. The terrain is..." Lu Ming had just finished explaining the address of the lair when he heard a "swish" of sword light piercing the sky to the west.
"Hey, I haven't confirmed the information about Sword Immortal yet..." As soon as the shout came out, a wave of air broke through the torrential rain, and the sword light disappeared into the sky.
boom--
The air waves close up, the raindrops spin in the air, and the strong wind scatters in all directions.
Lu Ming was speechless... This incident alarmed Tian Ting so quickly. He was so distracted that he forgot to identify himself. It would be a tragedy if the news was false.
"I just asked this swordsman to find Ye Qing, and everything was settled."
"Why should I be anxious about the mess this guy caused?" Lu Ming beat his chest and felt regretful.
In fact, when an immortal inquires, he will answer whatever he asks... Who would have known that this sword immortal would not leave any more time at all, and would not give him any chance to provide additional explanations?
Lu Ming calmed down, picked up the casualties on the spot, and rested his team. This place had been swept by the Sword Immortal, and everyone was not afraid that another magician would come out.
It's always safe.
In just a moment, a scout quickly caught up with him: "Sir... sir, there is a flying swordsman looking for you... uh
He was horrified by everyone's strange looks and swallowed: "What... is wrong with you guys?"
The scout stopped and saw the corpse on the ground. Was this... encountering an enemy?
"Did you find it?" Lu Ming said in a bad tone: "What did the Ye family say?"
The scout shook his head: "I couldn't get in touch this time. Not only the Ye family, but also the county and prefecture information boards were suddenly unable to get in touch. Master Youshuimenlu checked it and judged that the spiritual energy tide had interfered with the signal."
Lu Ming remained silent, suppressing the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. This was a professional judgment and should not be wrong.
The cavalry squad leader hesitated again and again and carefully asked: "Sir, do you still want to go to the Ye family?"
Going out of the city was a desperate adventure, but it was different now.
The immortals in the sky are here, and the big deal has been decided. It doesn't matter how much the second-placed prince does, is it still necessary to take the risk and rush to Ye's house overnight?
The cavalrymen looked at each other and looked at Lu Ming quietly.
"Why don't you go?" Lu Ming gritted his teeth and put on his coir raincoat and bamboo hat under the tree: "I almost fell into this pit, all because of this bastard guy. When I see you, you have to pick two people to take the casualties back.
, the rest follow me.”
The cavalry captain looked at the darkness ahead and rubbed his hands uneasily: "If you encounter a powerful magician again and make a mistake..."
These are soldiers who have never been on the battlefield.
Lu Ming couldn't say anything when he thought that his performance was just as bad just now, and he still had to glance at it: "Let me ask you, is this the path the Sword Immortal takes?"
"It's roughly this way, northwest." The cavalrymen understood and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then why are you worried about Xiaoxiao? Now we are just going to chase him and have a look." Lu Ming ordered, with a deep expression on his face, looking into the distance.
How could the Sword Immortal decline?
What the hell is Ye Qing doing? If I don’t know, he is having trouble eating.
