When we went to Rixin City this time, my companions and I went directly first. As for the reinforcements I brought, I asked them to slowly follow behind. These are my killer weapons, and I don't want to expose them too early.
When we arrived at Rixin City on the Demon King Thorn Deer, we found that the army from Tianlong City had not arrived yet, but the walls of Nixin City were already standing guard, and the entire Rixin City had also entered a state of martial law.
After we got here, Yuan Zihong came out to pick us up in person, and we were able to enter the city.
After entering the city, we went directly to the city lord's palace. When we saw him in the lobby, he had a smile on his face, as if he was not bothered at all by the invasion of the Tianlong Legion.
After saying hello, Zhan Ke retreated, leaving only Yuan Zihong, me and my companions in the room.
Zhanke smiled at me and said, "I didn't expect you to work for me so soon. Oh no, you came to help me. Thank you very much!"
I smiled and said, "What are you talking about? The city lord is being polite, but when will the army from Dragon City come over?"
Zhan Ke said: "We won't come over for the time being. They are currently stationing troops in Xixihe!"
The Xixi River is a large river three hundred miles north of Rixin City. Even if Tianlong City's army wanted to attack Rixin City, they would not camp so far away.
Seeing the confusion on my face, Zhan Ke said: "Don't be surprised, the city lord of Tianlong City is from the Qiuling faction, and I am from the Tianwu Kingdom Lord's side. We have the support of the Kingdom Lord behind us, so there may be small frictions, but
This kind of large-scale legion war generally cannot be fought unless there is some deep hatred between us."
I looked at Zhan Ke and asked: "By the way, I heard that the conflict between you and Tianlong City started because of me. What is going on? Can you tell me in detail?"
Zhan Ke said directly: "It's very simple. The prisoner knew that the killer Zhou Yin was in your Wuwang Sin City, so he asked the old dragon from Tianlong City to destroy your Wuwang Sin City. At that time, you were still in Wuling
clan, I thought to myself, Wuwangsui City was my unofficial territory. If the old dragon from Tianlong City wanted to occupy Wuwangsui City, wouldn’t it become his? So I decisively refused and said
In a word, if he wants to wipe out Wuwangsui City, he must first wipe out my Rixin City."
"Then the conflict between us ended like this."
This Zhanke was still telling the truth. I smiled awkwardly and said nothing, while Zhanke looked at Yuan Zihong with a confused look on his face and said, "Did I say something that I shouldn't have said again?"
Yuan Zihong said: "It's okay. City Lord Chen is used to it. With his character, he won't care. You can continue to talk about yours."
Yuan Zihong was too lazy to correct Zhan Ke.
Zhan Ke was dissatisfied and said: "If I say anything wrong, you have to correct me in time. If there is any conflict between me and City Master Chen because of those words, that would be bad, although it is not an unreasonable crime.
Sooner or later, the city will be mine, but I can't say it..."
"Well, I mean, we are allies, allies!"
The scene suddenly became awkward again.
I said: "Captain Lord, do you mean that the Tianlong City legion will not come to attack you? Then can I stop my troops from coming!"
Zhan Ke said: "No, I still have to come. There is something wrong with Lao Long's reaction. According to the past frictions between me and him, as soon as the Lord of Tianwu and the Lord of Qiling have a break, he should withdraw his troops immediately.
Yes, but this time he just stationed troops at Xixihe and postponed the advance, and had no intention of retreating. I think this matter is not over yet."
I looked at Zhou Yin next to me, then at Zhan Ke and said, "I've caused trouble for you. By the way, you now know that Zhou Yin is on my side. Don't you want to capture him and claim credit from the prisoner?"
In this case, Tianlong City will definitely withdraw its troops."
Zhan Ke smiled and said: "Let's not talk about whether I have such strength. Even if I did, I would not do that. In my eyes, you are my subordinate, not my friend, my friend's person
, even if it costs my life, I won’t move.”
I smiled at Zhanke and said, "Master Champaign, I have a small proposal. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it."
Zhan Ke asked me to speak, so I said, "How about we become brothers? I like your character very much. You are older than me. How about I call you brother and you call me brother?"
Zhan Ke thought for a while and said: "You don't live long. If you die and I am your brother, then your things will become mine, which will be more smooth. Um, I mean, I will help
It will be more smooth if you take care of her, so let’s become sworn friends!”
After saying that, Zhan Ke jumped up from his chair and pulled me to the front of the Tian Wu Pagoda. He knelt down and said, "This Tian Wu Pagoda is my belief. How about we make sworn vows to this Tian Tian Wu Pagoda?"
Naturally, I also knelt down.
Zhan Ke and I knelt down and bowed several times to the witch pagoda that day, which was considered as the sworn vows were completed.
After our sworn vows, Zhan Ke said to me: "Brother Chen, do you know where the scars on the wings on my back came from?"
I shook my head.
Zhanke said: "This is all given by the Lord Qiuling. I was one of his most loyal subordinates back then. When he was killing those holy Dharma practitioners in the third race, I always stood by his side.
, but what happened in the end? When he was escaping, he actually wanted to kill me, and his reason for killing me was really ridiculous!"
I asked why.
Zhan Ke said with a sneer: "Because I didn't follow his order to massacre the families and fellow villagers of those holy Dharma practitioners. If I followed his order, more than 3,000 people in that small town would die! Does he know what's going on?
How many are innocent?"
I really didn't expect Qiao Ling to have such a ruthless side.
But thinking about it again, he even killed his own wife, let alone his subordinates?
I sympathized with Zhan Ke, but he smiled and continued: "I was injured by the prisoner, and the Lord of Tianwu Kingdom happened to pass by and rescued me from the pool of blood when I was dying. Although my wings can no longer be retracted, but
My life and strength were saved, so from that day on, I swore to be loyal to the Lord of Heavenly Witch Kingdom until death. I also built this Heavenly Witch Tower specifically for him, and he is my faith."
I nodded to Zhan Ke.
Yuan Zihong said from the side: "Our city lord only tells these things to people he trusts, and you are among the few people who have heard this story."
At this point, Zhanke probably felt that the topic was a bit heavy, so he asked me: "By the way, do you know the legend of the Xixi River in the north?"
I shook my head to express that I didn't know.
Zhan Ke said: "The Xixi River originates from Divination Mountain and flows into the territory of the Demon Clan from east to west. It is said that Xixi was once a very beautiful Demon Clan woman. She practiced in Divination Mountain. Later, she missed her hometown too much.
Serious, so the longing turned into a river flowing from Divination Mountain to her hometown in the demon clan - Holy Snake Lake."
I asked curiously: "So Xixi is a snake demon?"
Zhan Ke said: "Yes, they are from the Hunyuan Snake Spirit Clan. Because the Hunyuan Snake Spirit Clan was wiped out, all those who were lucky enough to survive escaped from the Monster Clan."
I asked again: "Is Xixi still alive?"
Zhanke shook his head and said: "No more. It is said that after her thoughts turned into rivers, she died. By the way, last time you went to Perfect City, you should have passed Divination Mountain. That huge turtle-shaped mountain turned out to be
The place where Xixi practices."
I really want to ask the Snake King Remnant Soul if he knows this legend.
It was not just him who escaped from the Hunyuan Snake Spirit Clan, there were others. Maybe the hidden Hunyuan Snake Spirit Clan could be found in other places in the upper world.
When I was thinking about this, Yuan Zihong added: "It is precisely because of this legend that Xixi River has another name, called Missing River."
Nangong Fanxong couldn't help but say at this time: "Xixi River and Missing River, these two names are so beautiful!"
Chai Min also nodded beside them, they were already moved by this story.
We chatted for a while, and then Zhanke invited us to a hall, where a banquet was already prepared.
After the banquet, the fortune teller led us back to our rooms to rest.
There are very few servants in the City Lord's Mansion in Zhanke, but after we stayed here, we found that there were a lot of people coming in and out of the City Lord's Mansion in the past two days. Some of them were spies, some were regimental commanders of Rixin City, and some were like this
The monks on the side.
They came in and out of the city lord's palace just for one thing, the five legions of Tianlong City in the north.
As for Tianlong City in the north, I have learned something about it in the past two days. The city lord of Tianlong City is a giant dragon that can freely transform into human form. Its strength is about the fourth level of heavenly immortal. That giant dragon once lived in the human race. Because of his nature
Naughty, he massacred a human city and was hunted by the human race. Then he fled to the Utopia and became the lord of Tianlong City.
A complete evil dragon.
The evil dragon's name is Jue. It is said that he lives in Tianlong City and feeds on the flesh of humans, demons and the third race every day and drinks the blood.
The people he ate were all captured by his men from the other three races. There was even a legend that in the backyard of Jiujue City Lord's Mansion, there was a huge breeding pen, which contained many humans, demons and the third race.
Man, he fishes out people from that circle every day when he eats. He likes to eat fresh food the most!
After hearing these legends, I didn't have the slightest fondness for the evil dragon, and I even wanted to kill it.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye. My talisman cavalry and reinforced ballistae corps are still on the road. According to their marching speed, it will take at least ten days to arrive. This is also what I asked for. Let the cavalry and baggage move forward together, and do not pull back.
Open distance.
As for my Innocence Army and Tianhui Army, I did not let them come over. My Innocence City still needs to be defended.
At noon that day, I did my lunch homework and drew some talismans when I heard Yuan Zihong's voice, saying that Zhan Ke asked us to go to the meeting hall and said that he had something urgent to discuss with us.
When I got here, I discovered that apart from Yuan Zihong, there were no other subordinates of Zhan Ke here.
But my companions are many.
I curiously asked Zhan Ke what was going on, and he said: "The evil dragon Jiujue has asked me to go to Xixi River for a decisive battle in half a month. If I don't go to fight, he will cross the river and go south. So what will the old dragon do this time?"
