"Okay, the situation is basically clear. Gongsun Qi took advantage of the power of the city lord and used the personal guards to arrest and imprison the people of the empire for unwarranted reasons. There are both witnesses and material evidence."
The effect of Qianli Mihun Powder was extremely powerful. It took a whole day for the guards and civilians who had been fascinated to wake up one after another. However, all the Guards soldiers discovered that the roles had been reversed, and those imprisoned in the cells became
them.
"For the sake of safety, I have abolished the cultivation of these guards. After that, they will be weaker than ordinary people. When this matter is settled, they will also face punishment from the empire."
Liu Long placed the imprisoned civilians in the open space on the ground floor of the stronghold. The long-term detention and abuse made these civilians weak and in urgent need of basic medical assistance.
"Let's go. This secret passage is intricate and complicated, connecting all the strongholds and entrances and exits, and it is very likely to lead to the secret room you saw in the City Lord's Mansion. We can't delay it. Someone may come at any time."
Liu Long and Li Mu put on the shadow cloaks again and activated the shadow tracking skills at the same time. Their figures disappeared and they returned to Lishui City through the entrance of the rice noodle shop.
Taking advantage of the thick darkness of night, they passed through the city gate and ran towards the garrison camp. The two of them used their physical skills to the limit. Now they must race against time. A full-scale showdown with Gongsun Qi and the mysterious forces behind him has begun.
In the garrison camp, Lin Qingzhu and Fang Yan had not slept a wink for a whole day. Li Mu and Liu Long had been there for so long without any news, which made them even more worried.
"Senior, don't worry. Brother Liu and Li Mu both have their own cards. I believe they must have encountered some changes and been delayed. Let's wait."
Lin Qingzhu walked back and forth in the camp. If it weren't for the fact that there were only two cloak magic weapons, she would never let Li Mu take risks alone. The girl's heart was already extremely confused. Even Fang Yan beside her
The comfort did not alleviate her anxiety at all.
"No, I want to go to the city."
Lin Qingzhu could no longer calm down. She picked up the long sword as if she was about to enter the Lishui City. Even though she was weak and could not change anything, she would never allow Li Mu to get involved in danger while she was in the safe zone.
Just survive.
Suddenly, the curtain of the camp was lifted open, and then two figures appeared out of thin air. It was Li Mu who were rushing back at full speed.
"Brother Mu, great, you are finally back."
Running at full speed along the way, Li Mu really tried his best to keep up with Liu Long's pace. At this time, he was panting, but suddenly felt a fragrant breeze rushing into his arms.
"Brother Mu, do you know how worried Qingzhu is about you? Why did it take so long to come back?"
Tears were already hanging on Lin Qingzhu's face, but when she saw Liu Long and Fang Yan, who were also in the camp with embarrassed faces and pretended to look around, the girl's face suddenly turned red.
"Ahem, Li Mu, please briefly describe the situation we discovered. I will report to the military headquarters now, and then organize a team. I plan to first enter the secret passage from the mountain col where the veteran ruffian confessed, and then determine the locations of the strongholds one by one. First,
Everyone was saved."
Liu Long really couldn't bear to be a light bulb. After explaining the follow-up plan, he went out anxiously to arrange the garrison operation.
"Qingzhu, don't worry, I'm fine. This time Brother Liu and I discovered a secret stronghold of Gongsun Qi. We also know what happened in Lishui City. The process is like this..."
Li Mu gently brushed away the tears from the corners of Lin Qingzhu's eyes with his fingers, then invited Fang Yan to sit down with him, and told him and Liu Long's experiences this day exactly.
"Oh my God, I always thought that this Gongsun Qi would be extortionate at best, but I didn't expect him to be a demonic cultivator who treats his own people as 'feed' for his cultivation. It's terrible."
When Lin Qingzhu heard that Gongsun Qi absorbed the blood of common people to practice cultivation, she couldn't help but turn pale with fear. It was not that she had never seen such a vicious person, but this was the first time she encountered such a demonic cultivator.
"So, Gongsun Qi probably obtained this evil technique through the mysterious black-robed people, and then used various excuses to massacre innocent civilians and casual cultivators in Lishui City to improve his own power.
Cultivation."
Fang Yan listened quietly to Li Mu's narration, and now he was extremely certain that the people who secretly supported or controlled Gongsun Qi were the same group of black-robed men who massacred his Fangjia Village back then.
Sure enough, wherever this force goes, there will be endless bloodshed and heinous killings, but what is the purpose of these people?
No one knows, but their evil fangs have begun to show up, opening their bloody mouths at the vast fairy world.
The ferocious appearance can no longer be ignored.
It didn't take long for Liu Long to return to the camp. Reporting to the military headquarters for reinforcements was not a process that could be completed in a short time. At least within one day, only the standing garrison of more than a hundred people could be mobilized.
.
"So the current situation is like this. The nearest large force to us is already heading towards Lishui City, but it will take at least one day, so no matter what, we have to wait until the reinforcements arrive, otherwise with our current strength,
It is difficult to successfully defeat the Guards and gain control of Lishui City."
Liu Long's words made Li Mu and the three of them fall into silence. The best way now is to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then the army will invade the border and take over Lishui City.
However, what should the civilians imprisoned in the stronghold do in one day? Once Gongsun Qi discovers the clues, the rampage of a strong man in the Huaying realm will inevitably bring disaster to all living beings, especially a Huaying who practices magic skills.
territory.
There are also those mysterious men in black robes. It is impossible to judge how they will react after discovering that they have been exposed.
The tragedy of Wolong Mountain is still fresh in our minds. The viciousness of these men in black robes is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. If they cannot directly control the entire city and all the strongholds hidden in the mountains with thunderous means, the consequences can be said to be unimaginable.
"There is another plan, which is for the four of us to enter the city through a secret passage and directly attack Gongsun Qi in the city lord's palace. As long as we can defeat him, the Guards will be leaderless and will never be able to organize a resistance force in one day. When the army arrives, we will
Can successfully take over Lishui City."
"Without Gongsun Qi and the personal guards, those black-robed forces may not dare to expose their identities, but the premise is that we can really defeat Gongsun Qi."
Liu Longxin's proposal can be said to be very risky, but it is extremely pertinent. Gongsun Qi is the key to everything. As long as he can defeat the Lord of Lishui City, everything will be solved.
But no one knows how strong Gongsun Qi is in the Huaying Realm. Once the assassination plan fails, not only the four of them will be killed on the spot, but everyone in Lishui City may not be able to escape the claws of Gongsun Qi who is furious.
This is the safest plan, but during the waiting day, many people may die under Gongsun Qi's magic power.
On the other side, it is a risky battle. If you win, you will be successful, but if you lose, you will be defeated thousands of miles away.
Should he sacrifice the lives of a small number of people to keep the entire city safe, or should he devote all his strength to fighting Gongsun Qi to the end?
The four people in the camp were faced with the most difficult choice.
