"What?" Chen Tian's face was full of surprise. He turned around and stared at the messenger, "Say it again."
"The Guzhi headquarters was attacked!"
The messenger was panting like a bull roaring and was soaked to the skin. Apparently he had just landed from Zishui and was running all the way to the Feng Shui Spring in Daigui Mountain.
"When did it happen?" Chen Tian frowned deeply.
"I don't know!" The messenger was sweating profusely and speaking very fast. "When Horse Mackerel sent the news, he was seriously injured. The pigment on his dorsal fin was almost lost. Wei Zhi didn't know the specific situation of the headquarters.
!”
Hear this.
Xie Pengfan was shocked. He never expected that as soon as the front leg dispatched private troops to attack Wuwan, the back leg would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and seize the Guzhi headquarters.
And the timing was extremely tricky.
Because Liu Yiyi responded to the Battle of Wuwan, he entered Gusu City early to hold back the famous families, intending to prevent them from sending more troops to Wong Tai Sin.
In short.
The defense of the Guzhi headquarters is empty, with neither top combat power nor the most basic guards. It is simply a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Xie Pengfan subconsciously looked at Chen Tian and found that he also had a solemn expression on his face.
But Chentian actually thought further.
The enemy has such a strong grasp on Gu Zhi's vitality, so he must be extremely familiar with Gu Zhi's movements, and must have planted spies within Gu Zhi, and his level is not low.
At the same time, if the enemy dares to sneak attack Gu Zhi's headquarters, he must be aware of Gu Zhi's transcendent status in Gusu City, so he must be very strong, and he must not be afraid of showing off his face.
According to this inference, the water demon private army returning to support Guzhi's headquarters is likely to be ambushed halfway.
"Leave a hundred people to take care of the wounded, and the rest will follow me back to Guzhi's headquarters." Chen Tian's thoughts were very clear, and he made immediate arrangements. "Then he called Horse Mackerel to immediately deliver the battle report to Miss Liu and asked her to stay.
Stay still in the city."
"besides."
"Order the mountain demon to sneak into the east gate trestle, and if you don't receive news from the Guzhi headquarters that the situation is safe before dark, directly capture the city gate."
"Follow your orders!" The ordering soldier turned around and left without any hesitation, not even asking about the profound meaning of the various arrangements.
But Xie Pengfan was full of doubts about this.
Letting Liu Yiyi stay in the city can be interpreted as concern for her safety, but what about ordering the mountain demon to capture the city gate?
The city gate is the Achilles' heel of a city. It must be guarded both inside and outside. Especially in today's chaotic situation, the East Gate Trestle is even more tightly guarded.
And with the strength of the mountain demon, is it really possible to take it down?
Chentian seemed to see through what Xie Pengfan was thinking, and waved his hand: "No need to ask more, you will know later. The most urgent task is to quickly lead the troops back to the Guzhi headquarters."
The words fell to the ground.
Chen Tian jumped out of the cave, stepped lightly on the snowflakes in the sky, boarded the awning boat, led the remaining 700 private water demon soldiers, and hurried to Gu Zhi's headquarters.
The autumn wind is getting colder and colder.
Snow particles as small as fine salt particles hit the face and hurt more than a needle prick.
The masked dead soldier hiding in the reeds squinted his eyes tightly, looked at the fork of the river in the distance, and then said to himself: "Boss, are we really just waiting for a awning boat when we mobilize the troops?"
"That's right." The voice of the person who replied was very low, sounding particularly harsh, like an old bird. "The young people on the boat are not simple. Be careful. Don't make a mistake and end up feeding the fish."

The masked dead man's heart suddenly tightened.
Because the target that can make Lao Yu go through a lot of trouble must not be a soft-footed shrimp, and this assassination must be a disaster.
"Boss."
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."
"Have you fought against the target before? What was the result? With our strength, what is the chance of winning?" The masked dead man said bluntly.
When Lao Yu heard this questioning, a look of fear quickly flashed in his eyes.
At first, he followed Liu Yiyi all the way into Guzhi's headquarters and finally found out the entrance to the secret realm that had not been seen for thousands of years. But when he got ashore, he suddenly realized that Liu Yiyi had done it intentionally.
Next, I met a young man with extraordinary skills.
Although he was extremely ill and still held a woman in his arms, the kicks he performed were extremely brutal and domineering, forcing him to retreat step by step.
But in the end, he clearly had a chance to capture him alive, but in the end he let him go, thus saving a small life.
And with the fighting prowess of these dead soldiers around him, there is no chance of victory compared to a head-on confrontation. Only an unexpected sneak attack is likely to succeed by luck.
However, the dead soldiers who have been exposed will have no choice but to die and will not be able to escape unscathed.
However, these mental journeys.
Of course it's impossible to show it openly.
So Lao Yu put on a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and scolded with a stern expression: "You are the dead soldiers raised by the master of the house. You have silent arrows in the dark and invisible murders. How can you be greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"You usually enjoy all the wealth and honor in the world, but now it's time to repay your kindness, how can you look forward and backward!"
After hearing the fierce reprimands, the masked dead man no longer dared to ask any more questions. He silently took out a thin needle from his arms, then opened his mouth and inserted it into his back molar.
Just finished these.
As the river wind carried snowy debris, a awning boat sailed straight into the fork of the river.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer, the masked dead man immediately pulled the trigger, and the seventeen poison-quenched crossbow bolts were divided into three groups and hit the target without any bias.
The small awning boat could not withstand the fire of the heavy crossbow, and was suddenly riddled with holes, shaped like a honeycomb.
But the masked dead men were not happy and reacted in surprise.
Because they clearly heard the sound of jingling gold and stone coming from the awning boat, which meant that the people inside the boat were wearing heavy armor and were prepared for it. It also meant that the assassination failed and their whereabouts were exposed in advance.
As expected.
The next moment.
The awning boat suddenly exploded, with wood slag flying, and a strong man as majestic as an iron tower jumped into the air. It was Xie Pengfan, and he roared:
"What you say is true!"
"There really was a little mouse hidden on the way back!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, a steel hairpin with the force of thunder suddenly hit the hiding place of the masked dead soldier, causing the reeds to suddenly rise into a cloud of snow-white flowers.
Amid the colorful waves, broken limbs and broken arms were thrown down like a logging site, leaving a mess.
The hot blood flowed into the shallows, half river rustling and half river red, and the strong death aura scared the egrets to drop their branches for a long time.
Lingtai realm!
He is actually an extraordinary monk in the second level of the Lingtai Realm!
The masked dead soldiers had horrified faces, knowing that they would inevitably die. They immediately formed a strangulation formation with tacit understanding and rushed towards Xie Pengfan.
The dagger is in front, the hidden sword is in the back, and there are poisonous needles on both sides to echo each other.
If an ordinary person encountered such an attack, his skin would have to peel off even if he died, but Xie Pengfan had trained his muscles and bones hundreds of times, and his armor and scales were as strong as iron.
Although he fought back and forth with Wong Tai Sin, facing the masked dead men whose average cultivation level was not even at the Jade Cauldron level, it was simply a one-sided massacre.
Xie Pengfan didn't hide at all. He let all kinds of concealed weapons, large and small, come at him. He remained unmoved. Instead, he pressed his palm to recall the steel hairpin, killing the masked dead men one after another. They fell into the water and were eaten by the hungry and thirsty black fish.
Almost exhausted.
After two breaths, he looked in the direction of Guzhi's headquarters and murmured:
