When Qiao Ye saw the walls of the Ice Fortress again, she felt the urge to burst into tears. She had finally returned after a long journey and over the mountains and ridges!
"Hey, is anyone there?"
Qiao Ye shouted at the top of his lungs in the direction of the city wall. The guard on duty poked his head out, dropped a bamboo basket without Qiao Ye revealing his identity, and pulled Qiao Ye up the city wall.
After all, Qiao Ye showed his face when the evil beast attacked the city, and most of the town guards already knew Qiao Ye.
After pulling Qiao Ye up the city wall, Liu Mang was also there. He patted Qiao Ye on the shoulder and said, "My condolences!"
Qiao Ye had a question mark on his head, what does it mean to ask me to express my condolences as soon as I come back?
Liu Mang patted Qiao Ye's back and said, "Go to the boundary guardian first!"
Qiao Ye was confused. She was still confused when she got off the city wall. When she arrived at the boundary guard's house in the fortress, Qiao Ye's pupils suddenly shrank.
That yard...
It was actually decorated into a mourning hall!
Qiao Ye was stunned for half a minute, then quickly walked into the yard, and immediately saw the yard full of coffins, and a group of boundary guards standing everywhere, looking lifeless.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Qiao Ye's eyes widened, and he grabbed the collar of a boundary guard and said, "Tell me, what's going on!"
"What are you shouting for?" A strong man stretched out his hand to push Qiao Ye and said, "If it weren't for your intelligence error, what would have happened like this?"
"Qian Ruyi, I've tolerated you for a long time." Qiao Ye said coldly: "If you don't want to die, get out of here."
"What? You want to fight with me?" Qian Ruyi sneered: "Come on!"
"Shut up!" At this time, Xuan Fang walked out of the inner courtyard, shouted low to stop the quarrel between the two, and then said to Qiao Ye: "Qiao Ye, come in!"
Qiao Ye glanced at the coffin placed in the outer courtyard, quickly walked into the inner courtyard, followed Xuan Fang to the room, and asked anxiously: "What's going on?"
"Sit!" Xuan Fang stretched out his hand to signal, and then said: "I've been tricked. Jiang Liuxue's goal is not the Heavenly Book Monument."
Qiao Ye raised her eyebrows and said, "Those dead people outside?"
Xuan Fang said: "The Heavenly Book Monument is a cover. I dispatched a large number of people to the ruins, leaving only two teams here. They all died in the battle. Jiang Liuxue is indeed looking for something, and what he is looking for is here.
, in this city, in my house."
"How is this possible?" Qiao Ye said: "How did he enter the fortress?"
"I don't know." Xuan Fang said: "But he just came in and avoided all the guards. Nie Feibai was held accountable!"
Qiao Ye couldn't help but curse.
Qiao Ye's idea is right. Jiang Liuxue wants to use the ice demon to command the evil beast to attack the city, so it must be meaningful. What is the meaning?
Qiao Ye's speculation was that Jiang Liuxue might make a lot of noise and be unable to avoid the defenders, or that the things he wanted to take were near the fortress, and he had to use evil beasts to attack the city and hold everyone back, so that he could
take something.
At the moment it seems that it is because of the latter, but the thing is not nearby, but within the fortress!
Jiang Liuxue actually wants to enter the fortress!
There is no reason to blame Qiao Ye for not thinking about it. In fact, no one would have thought that this fortress has tens of thousands of guards, as well as a large number of boundary guards and world secretaries stationed there. Entering here for Jiang Liuxue is equivalent to entering a tiger's den.
But Jiang Liuxue not only came, but also succeeded!
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this idea. When the evil beast attacks the city, the guards are on the city wall to deal with the evil beast. The inside of the fortress is also empty. If Jiang Liuxue has any special way to enter the fortress, then the evil beast will
Siege can also create an excellent opportunity for Jiang Liuxue.
Xuan Fang continued: "You don't need to take this matter to heart. It's not your problem. You get the news and report it truthfully. This is your duty and what you should do. I am the person in charge here.
, I got the news from you, but I didn’t find a way to judge the authenticity or make reasonable arrangements. Therefore, the responsibility for this matter lies with me. Secondly, Nie Feibai was responsible for guarding the fortress, but he actually let the other party enter and exit as if nothing happened. Of course,
You have to take responsibility. Those brothers who are dead outside are the fault of me and have nothing to do with you."
Xuan Fang is very sensible. These words are not comfort, but facts.
The fundamental reason for Jiang Liuxue's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain was that Qiao Ye provided information about the Heavenly Book Monument. There must be many people blaming Qiao Ye.
But Jiang Liuxue was a conspiracy. If Qiao Ye got the information, whether it was true or false, he would definitely have to be summoned and reported. And Qiao Ye was summoned. It was impossible for Xuan Fang not to take people to visit the Tianshu Monument. Jiang Liu
Snow's plan succeeded.
Did Qiao Ye even suspect that the information on the Heavenly Book Monument was false?
Did Xuan Fang suspect that the information on the Heavenly Book Monument was false?
Both of them had doubts, but doubts were useless. If they just had doubts, wouldn't they keep an eye on the Heavenly Book Monument? What if Jiang Liuxue's purpose was really the Heavenly Book Monument?
But the thing is like this, the truth is indeed like this, Qiao Ye still feels uncomfortable.
Qiao Ye said: "What on earth does that guy want to get?"
Xuan Fang pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "A stone."
Qiao Ye said: "Stone?"
Xuan Fang nodded and said: "It's not clear what this thing is exactly. The world's mystics are investigating the origin of this stone. It's not just a year or two since the void fault in Hanlin Mountain appeared, but
It has been many years. The boundary guards, town guards and world mystics stationed here have changed several times. Some things may not have been found recently, but may have been left over from before. However, everything is registered and made.
It’s registered and can be checked, but it will take some time.”
Qiao Ye nodded and said, "What that guy is looking for cannot be an ordinary thing."
"Yes, and there is also an important piece of information, which was provided by the only survivor." Xuan Fang said: "The two teams I left behind all died in the battle, and he was the only one who survived."
Qiao Ye said: "Who?"
Xuan Fang said: "Lin Jiao, he pretended to be dead and escaped."
Qiao Ye was speechless. Good people don't live long, and bad people live for thousands of years. But from the looks of it, even bad people can't defeat a bitch. That good-for-nothing Lin Jiao is the only one to survive. This is simply a miracle among miracles.
Xuan Fang continued: "Lin Jiao said that he heard Jiang Liuxue say with his own ears that after getting the things, there are only three items left. Therefore, it is certain that Jiang Liuxue is looking for something. There are still three items left. I
I think there is a high probability that the things he is looking for are related to some extent."
Qiao Ye said: "So, we must first find out what that stone is."
Xuan Fang nodded and said, "That's right."
At this time, Qiao Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "I have another piece of information!"
