Mrs. Zhang took the few items she had left at home and hurriedly shuttled through the maple leaf forest with several nearby neighbors. It was already past dusk and almost dark! If it hadn't been for a guard in iron armor wearing an iron chain,
Leading from the front, she, a woman, and a group of old and young people simply did not dare to move in this maple leaf forest.
She lowered her head and glanced at the boy in her arms. He was already over a year old, but he had not yet been weaned. He was still sleeping in her arms.
Howl!
A shrill howl of a wolf came from the depths of the maple forest, immediately waking up the baby in his arms.
Mrs. Zhang quickly picked up the baby upright and held it in her arms, patting his back with her palms. The woman had followed her husband to make a living in the maple leaf forest, so she naturally understood how powerful the maple leaf wolf was, and the baby's cry
Shouting is especially easy to attract the covetousness of these ferocious beasts.
“Oh, oh, oh, be good, be good! My mother is here, don’t be afraid, don’t cry...” As she said this, she looked apologetically at the armored guard who was leading the way.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, we arrived at Yinren's camp just ahead. It's not a big problem. Those Maple Leaf Wolves don't dare to get too close to Yinren Town." The man comforted him in a low voice, but even though he said that, he
He had already taken out the Bailian Sword from his waist and was on guard.
Mrs. Zhang saw this and was naturally moved in her heart. Since her husband was killed in battle, Yinren Town has always taken good care of their orphans and widowed mothers. They will send firewood, rice, oil and salt every once in a while, and they will also give some money for the harvest during festivals.
She had just given birth and was unable to go out to make a living, so she relied on these subsidies to survive.
When thinking of this, the woman looked at the baby in her arms and couldn't help but think: The longer this baby grows, the more he looks like you... Ah Diao!
…
Most of Yinren's strong men were engaged in the martial arts field and gathered in the north. Starting from dusk, there were sounds of fighting and the crackling of demon-breaking crossbows, which had only just calmed down.
Most of the Tieyi guards did not take action. Although their cultivation was higher than that of the strong men, there was still a more important task waiting for them to do, which was to cut the people of Yinren Town into pieces.
Divide into hundreds of small groups and flee for their lives. They don't want anything except valuables and soft goods, even if they come back after ten days and a half.
And this small team that Zhang belongs to is one of them.
Ji Shenfu finished counting the battle damage, and the results far exceeded his expectations. In fact, he discovered from the beginning that these people were just strong men with the highest level of ability. The black-armored soldiers behind him were
It is quite useful, but the group of chivalrous warriors he brought this time, or the warriors who are half-step to the chivalrous state, are simply vulnerable.
Even so, one person was still seriously injured and three were slightly injured, which made the already irritable man even more depressed. He glanced at the people behind him and said calmly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Yinren Town's
The strength of the warriors can be regarded as the strongest force in Luoye County. Put away all those feelings of superiority in your hearts, and don’t be beheaded without realizing it!"
With that said, he flicked the reins of his horse and headed straight for the Presbyterian Church that he had not bitten before.
There were not many people in the large house of the Presbyterian Church with five entrances and five exits. There was no trace of anyone in the hall where the sand table was originally placed, and the sand table had also been scattered.
A man dressed in iron armor rushed in from outside the gate of the Presbyterian Church, passing through the first hall and courtyard, the second hall and courtyard, and then the third and fourth...
After all the twists and turns, he finally walked into the courtyard. The layout here was different from the previous ones. It was actually a forest of steles in the backyard. The stone steles were almost too slow to be erected, with densely packed names engraved on them.
He walked a few steps in the forest of steles, suddenly knelt down half-kneeling, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, the battle in the martial arts arena is over!"
In front of him, standing with their backs to him, were two people, Bai Yuan and Zhao Yunming!
Zhao Yunming was still dressed like a tall, thin middle-aged man. He turned to look at the slightly panicked man and asked slowly: "Is it over?"
Hearing this, the man who was holding back his tears suddenly couldn't hold back his tears. He trembled with trembling hands and said solemnly: "They are all dead, and no one surrendered!"
Zhao Yunming nodded and murmured: "With more than a dozen knight-level warriors, and Ji Shen supporting them, it's a miracle that we can block them for more than an hour!"
He glanced at the man who was half-kneeling there, and said slowly: "Follow the other iron guards and flee to hide in various places around you."
The face of the guard Tieyi changed, and he asked in a trembling voice: "No! Mr. Zhao, we want to go together! I, Niu Er, will protect you!"
Zhao Yunming looked at the upright strong man in front of him, smiled slightly and persuaded: "We stay here just to protect the people who escaped! Ji Shen helped Yinren not for others, but for us old guys
!”
The man immediately understood the clues, and then continued: "No one can say what I am sure about. Either you come with me, sir, or I will stay and die with you!"
Zhao Yunming frowned and was about to persuade him, but the white ape beside him spoke.
“Do you still remember who those strong men who died in the martial arts arena were engaged in?”
Niu Er was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I have the life and death certificate they signed before setting off!"
White Ape turned his head, looked at this sturdy man, and said with a smile: "If you have any doubts about staying, you can! Carve the names of these people on that stone tablet!"
Niu Er glanced at the huge stone tablet beside him. It was a huge wordless tablet, obviously enough for a man to do anything.
"Niu Er obeys the order!" After saying that, the strong man didn't waste any words. He took out the dagger from his waist and carved it directly under the stone tablet. Looking at the life and death figures he took out from his arms, this tough guy who dared to face life and death couldn't help but wonder.
Tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes.
Because he knows that every name on it is a living life!
…
Ji Shen led his horse and walked through the streets. He ignored the people around him, but to his surprise, there was not a single pedestrian on the street.
His soul stirred slightly and spread instantly. The next moment, his face became extremely ugly, because he found that the nearby blocks were almost empty. Ji Shenfu also understood the true purpose of the two elders of Luo Yun Sect. Naturally,
The Luo Yunzong could not bear to destroy the entire Yinren armed force, whether it was masters like Li Chengtao or Li Chengqian, or a scheming person like Lin Hengshan.
The county magistrate waved his horsewhip and walked straight to the Elder's Square in a familiar way. This was once the main venue for the martial arts competition. Yi Xifeng and others were the twelve martial arts masters who were decided here last year, and the Presbyterian Church
On this side of the square.
Qin Kai and Batu followed closely behind, and behind them were Yuchi Yongjun, Geng Yu, Liu Dong, and Hu Qingzheng, a group of guards and cavalry generals, and behind them were a group of half-step warriors, including
Batu's son Batur is also among them.
Everyone walked all the way and arrived at the door in less than a cup of tea. Ji Shenfu didn't waste any time. He slashed with the Jin Yuan sword in his hand and the entire door collapsed. A group of strong men in the knight realm also followed.
Entered the Presbyterian Church.
Ji Shenfu had already determined the location of the enemy through his internal energy. Instead of searching each room one by one, they jumped up and landed on the eaves of the house. After a few ups and downs, they arrived at the final courtyard.
The county magistrate dressed as a middle-aged scribe looked at the forest of steles below and the white ape standing there looking at him. Neither of them made a move first.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be here, I have admired him for a long time!" Ji Shenfu glanced at the tall, thin middle-aged man on the side and said lightly. After all, Zhao Yunming is engaged in the salary list organization and rarely appears in public. Even if he does appear, he will be in the capacity of Mr. Zhao.
, not Mr. Zhao.
“Mr. Ji, you rarely come to our Presbyterian Church! You’re welcome, sit wherever you like, or do you have a favorite monument? I’ll have someone carve it for you!”
Ji Shenfu was not angry at the irony in Zhao Yunming's words. He knew the other party's purpose, so he did not get angry at all.
A few breaths passed, and a group of masters from Luoye City were still present. On the other hand, the two people standing in the forest of stele seemed a little weak.
"Master Zhao, Master Bai, surrender! I, Luoye City, will definitely not treat you badly!" Hu Qingzheng naturally received Ji Shenfu's order and planned to persuade the two of them to surrender.
"Hmph! Persuade to surrender? If you are really afraid of death, we can leave before you come!" As he said that, he struck a long black stick in his hand, and Hu Qingzheng's face turned blue in fright, and he took a few steps back.
Zhao Yunming asked directly: "Surrender? Do you want me to teach him how to set up the salary list organization? Or does he want to know the requirements of a certain department in the salary list organization?"
Ji Shenfu replied readily: "Of course, it would be better if we have both!"
…………Dividing line…………
Qingchuan County, Qingyun City.
Yi Xifeng and Zhao Long each carried a jar of Fenjiu and drank heavily. This was already the third jar they drank. For Yi Xifeng, this amount was naturally a drizzle, but for Zhao Long, who had never drank alcohol before,
, it must be the right amount.
Lin Lei and Li Xintian were obviously waiting for news.
"It's already dark now, and it's almost time for a reply from there." The fair-skinned girl felt a little uneasy, and it was obvious that the longer she waited, the more she was suffering.
Yi Xifeng pushed Zhao Long beside him and muttered: "Zhao Long! You fucking drink!"
The two of them were exhausted by the long wait, so they had no choice but to drink to suppress their depression.
At this moment, shopkeeper Zhao walked in from outside, naturally holding a black and red military machine barrel in his hand.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, is there any news?" Yi Xifeng stood up when he saw the middle-aged shopkeeper coming in. Zhao Long beside him also stood up, but he raised his hands and nodded on his abdomen and shoulders.
After two breaths, waves of blue light flashed through his body. It only took about three breaths for his original blush to return to normal.
Shopkeeper Zhao nodded, handed the military barrel to Yi Xifeng, and said in a deep voice: "It's a black and red military barrel. It shows that something big has happened!"
The so-called military canister is a way of transmitting information in the salary list organization. It can be divided into several categories roughly by color.
White military canisters are mainly daily information reported by some salary bases. The urgency and importance of the event will be the most common.
Yellow military aircraft tubes generally involve information about some pay list tasks and require a certain degree of confidentiality. The urgency of the event is average and the importance is higher than that of white military aircraft.
Brown military barrels generally involve some urgent information from local forces and require a certain degree of confidentiality. The event is of high urgency and ordinary importance.
Red Army Machine Barrel, a major event involving the strategic form of one party's forces, needs to be kept strictly confidential, and the urgency and importance of the event are very strong.
Black and red military barrel, not limited to anything, the importance and urgency of the event, any one of them is top-notch.
Lin Lei looked at the long black-red tube and asked in a low voice: "Why don't shopkeeper Zhao take a look at it in advance and then show it to us? It would also save time."
Zhao Long on the side had basically recovered at this time. He explained: "The letters in the black and red military barrel are written on special paper. When you open this military barrel, you must read it within thirty breaths. You cannot finish reading the paper."
The ink marks will disappear.”
The middle-aged shopkeeper also nodded and replied: "Exactly, exactly, so let everyone watch it together!"
Hearing this, Yi Xifeng had a bad feeling in his heart. He twisted his hands and unscrewed the barrel of the military machine. Then he quickly took out a piece of paper, twisted it and spread it on the table. Several other people also followed suit.
He leaned over and took a closer look.
The divisions of Qingyun City:
In the past two days, major changes occurred in Yinren. Zhou Yuanyi, a master of the Luo Yunzong Hero Realm, successively killed Zhao Yuntian and the steward of the Zhong family, and then dueled with Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao, leaving Yinren and entering Yunxiao Pool. After that, the county governor Ji Shenfu led hundreds of people
The cavalry invaded the northern camp, Liangchengang. The last two masters of the Luo Yunzong Hero Realm took away the leader Lin Hengshan.
Information has been verified: Lin Hengshan died, Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao are missing.
It has been decided to postpone it indefinitely. All salary tasks should be prioritized when necessary. Everyone should focus on preserving their vitality!
The information has not yet been verified: the root cause of this incident originated from Yunxiao Pond, and was related to the strange vision of heaven and earth that day.
Rate list organization headquarters
…
Looking at this simple but extremely heavy information, everyone was silent. If it were said that during the day, when the Qingyun Sect heard the bad news, there was still anger in everyone's heart, just like Zhao Long at that time
, if Yi Xifeng hadn't stopped him, there would have been a quarrel on the spot. Of course, the other party is the leader of the Qingyun Sect after all, so he would not lower himself to argue with these brats, but after all, it is not good. At this time, in his territory,
Nothing can be too much.
Now that they have received information from the Payroll Organization, they know that once it is "verified information", it will definitely not be groundless! It seems that what the leader of the Qingyun Sect said is very likely to be true!
After a while, Zhao Long's face gradually calmed down. He grabbed the long knife at his waist and walked out the door. Shopkeeper Zhao was an old man after all. When he saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward to stop the young man.
the way to go.
Seeing this, Lin Lei asked: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Long tightened the straight knife in his hand and said slowly: "Go back to Yinren Town!"
