The route from Yanmen Pass to Shuohai City was originally a very deserted route.
Materials at Yanmen Pass are transported from the capital, and Shuohai City is just where some fishing boats dock. Being a prefect in Shuohai City is only a little better than distributing, and no one wants to be an official here.
After the war started, Shuohai City became extremely lively. The small city was not enough to accommodate the sudden increase in population, and many wooden houses were built outside the city.
There are many tall trees near Shuohai City, and there is no shortage of wood. It is very convenient to get materials locally.
The coolies and newly opened inns were all stationed outside the city.
In order to maintain order, the prefect Xiao Ling sent two hundred soldiers to patrol day and night to prevent theft and illegal acts.
Ziyun and Miaoyin entered Shuohai City from the west gate. The streets inside were paved with stones.
There were so many carriages and horses that the rocks were deeply indented and even crushed.
"It's different from the last time I came here."
Master Ziyun couldn't help but sigh, Shuohai City today is really prosperous and lively.
The last time, Long Chen took Ziyun, Miaoyin and the others away from the Holy Snow Peak, and the ship docked at Shuohai City.
At that time, Shuohai City was just a small city, slightly deserted.
Miaoyin said: "The materials transported by Nanliang are circulated here and transported to Yanmen Pass. It is difficult even if it is not prosperous."
Crossing the street, the two stopped at the gate of the prefect's mansion.
There were more than a dozen warriors in armor and guns guarding the door. Seeing Ziyun and the others, a young general in armor stepped forward and asked, "Who are they!"
Ziyun and Miaoyin dismounted, lifted up the black gauze on their hats, took out a token, and said, "I'm on an errand, where is the prefect?"
The token was engraved with a phoenix pattern, which was the empress's order. The young general hurriedly ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, and ran in first to report.
Ziyun and Miaoyin walked in and soon saw a middle-aged man coming out to greet them.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Ling, pays homage to the envoy."
Xiao Ling did not dare to neglect the Empress' imperial envoy.
"Prefect Xiao, you're welcome."
Xiao Ling welcomed the two of them into the guest room and sat down. Ziyun and Miaoyin took off their bamboo hats. Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment and asked carefully: "What do you call the two envoys?"
Xiao Ling only knew that Ziyun and Miaoyin had tokens in their hands, but did not know their identities.
"Poverty Taoist Ziyun, the master of Zixiao Palace."
"The owner of Miaoyin Tower."
The two briefly mentioned their names, and Xiao Ling immediately understood their identities.
Ziyun and Miaoyin followed the empress, and everyone in the officialdom knew about it.
"It turns out to be Master Ziyun, the owner of Miaoyin Building. I've heard of his name for a long time, but I just met him today. I'm disrespectful."
Xiao Ling got up and prayed again.
It is said that the two of them are like sisters to the empress, and are sworn friends with Long Chen. Their status is very special and noble.
"The purpose of our trip is very simple, to prevent Li Chengdao from making a sneak attack and destroying privately made ordnance."
Ziyun explained the purpose of his visit straightforwardly. After Xiao Ling heard this, he immediately said: "So that the superior will know that the inferior officer and Colonel Xu Fang have seized the privately made ordnance, inventoried it and put it in the warehouse, and reported the matter to the Holy Emperor through the Flying Eagle Letter.
"
Upon seeing the two of them, Xiao Ling guessed the purpose of his visit.
The imperial envoy had just arrived and the matter had been settled, Xiao Ling felt a little proud.
Presumably the empress will be very happy and remember her contribution.
Hearing that Xiao Ling had intercepted the ordnance, Ziyun and Miaoyin asked in surprise: "Have they all been seized?"
Xiao Ling replied: "More than 30,000 ordnances have been seized and have been inventoried. The good ordnances have been sent to Yanmen Pass by carriage. In addition, Captain Xu is still leading the naval patrol."
More than 30,000 ordnances have been intercepted. Xiao Ling personally selected the well-forged ones and sent them to Yanmen Pass.
By doing this, you can not only increase the supply of weapons at Yanmen Pass, but also send them to the Empress for credit.
"Well done, the ordnance has been intercepted, we just need to be on guard against Li Chengdao."
Miaoyin smiled, but she was actually more worried.
The ordnance was intercepted, and Li Chengdao fell short. If he became angry and went on a killing spree in Shuohai City, the two of them would not be able to stop him.
"With two masters here, Shuohai City will be safer."
"You two have come a long way, and I will give you a welcome reception."
Xiao Ling wanted to be courteous, but Master Ziyun smiled and said, "No need, we two don't eat much."
The two of them have half-ghost physiques and have no appetite for ordinary meals, so they can't eat Jie Feng Yan.
"this..."
Xiao Ling was a little embarrassed, it was the first time that something like this happened.
Miaoyin smiled and said: "Prefect Xiao doesn't need to be polite. We two are not used to eating ordinary food. Just ask Prefect Xiao to arrange a place to stay."
Xiao Ling heard about this matter and said: "Well, I'm rude to you. I will arrange a place to stay immediately."
After arranging their accommodation, Ziyun and Miaoyin settled in Shuohai City.
When Xu Fang heard that the imperial envoy had arrived, he quickly came back from the sea to see him.
Ziyun informed the empress of the decree, and Xu Fang followed the decree and patrolled back and forth at sea. There were also soldiers searching the shore to prevent weapons from landing.
...
Li Chengdao withdrew from the battlefield and fled north for more than ten miles in an instant. After making sure that Long Chen was not chasing him, Li Chengdao slowly stopped.
The clothes on his body were scorched, and his skin was rolled up by the heat. The pain made him grit his teeth.
Guitai and Qin Hao looked like this back then, but they didn't expect that such a day would come to them.
"Dog thief!"
Li Chengdao tore off his clothes with force, and the skin and flesh that were stuck to the clothes were torn apart. Li Chengdao groaned, and blood seeped out from the torn flesh.
"ah!"
Li Chengdao gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, the pain making him tremble all over.
After becoming a half-ghost, he had not felt such intense pain for a long time.
Li Chengdao half-knelt on the ground, and the cold wind blew in, which relieved some of the pain.
After the wound healed a little, Li Chengdao slowly got up.
After being refined to devour and kill the ghost fetus, Qin Hao and Li Chengdao were so confident that they wanted to compete with Long Chen, but they didn't expect to be beaten so badly.
When the spiritual snake swallowed the green dragon, Li Chengdao thought that his great revenge was avenged, but in the end he was burned by the dragon's flames.
It seems that Xuanwu Jue is not as good as Longjia Xinfa.
"No, that's not right, it's because my cultivation has not yet reached its true state!"
If one admits that the Xuanwu Jue is not as good as the Long Family's Mental Technique, then Li Chengdao will never be able to take revenge in his life.
Therefore, Li Chengdao blamed his lack of cultivation rather than his lack of skills.
"Swallowing can infinitely improve your cultivation. I need to swallow more essence, blood and true energy. I want to improve my cultivation. I need to improve!"
Li Chengdao is eager to devour more masters, but there is a problem with swallowing. If the opponent's cultivation level is too low, the effect after swallowing will be very little.
This means that Li Chengdao must devour those who are similar to his cultivation level, or even more powerful than him.
Looking at the world, the cultivation levels are similar to his, and there are only four people who are more powerful than him: Martial Saint, Ghost Girl, Long Chen, and Empress.
Apart from these four, the remaining ones are Demon Spirit, Di Luoxi, and Di Lingyi who can enter Li Chengdao's eyes.
Li Chengdao wanted to devour these people, but it was not easy.
Martial Saint, Ghost Girl cannot move, Long Chen and the Empress cannot move, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi are under the protection of Long Chen.
After much thought, Li Chengdao had nowhere to start.
Putting aside the thought of swallowing for the time being, Li Chengdao sent a message to Wu Sheng, asking him to raid Yuncheng.
The barbarian who stayed behind may have brought this matter to light, and Long Chen may have rushed to Yuncheng.
Li Chengdao shouted bad luck and must immediately tell Wu Sheng not to attack Yuncheng.
Without the trust eagle in hand, Li Chengdao could only look for the barbarians, seize the war horses, and immediately rush back to the ice field.
