Rumble…

The sky was cloudy, with lightning and thunder.

The government officials ran around, carefully gathering the stumps. As for the blood on the ground, it was diluted by the heavy downpour.

The people of Yong'an stayed at home, terrified.

Are there any rebels?

How could a traitor appear here?

It couldn't be a mutiny...

Although there were all kinds of speculations in my mind, I felt a little calmer as the county government sent people to beat gongs along the street to announce that the ban would be lifted at dawn.

Of course, all these matters of appeasing people and restoring order have been handed over to the county magistrate Li Siyuan, and the Yong'an Mansion Army quickly made preparations for the war under Wang Xuan's order.

Yong'an Military Camp, the drums are rumbling.

The entire military camp was already busy, with people shouting, horses neighing, and auxiliary soldiers running back and forth to gather supplies.

In the big tent, senior military officials gathered.

Mo Huaixian handed over his hand and reported:

"Back to my lord, the auxiliary troops are taking inventory of supplies, grain, grass, and dried meat according to your instructions. They are equipped with ten days' worth of elixirs and arrows for three battles..."

"Over in the mountain city, Mr. Lu has led his people to refine dragon crystal golden feather arrows. Adding in the previous inventory, we can save thirty arrows..."

"There is news from the Liu family brothers in Qucheng that the Xiao family's influence has been eliminated. Another demon was found who wanted to attack the Demon Sealing Tower. He was killed by Paijiao elder Cheng Sanshui and his men. I heard that you were on patrol and planned to send thousands of people to follow.

…”

"Li Chunniang of the Five Immortals Hall of Lingyuan County plans to personally lead a thousand people to go to war..."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "Sealing the Demon Cave is a very important matter. Please let me refuse...forget it, let them do it."

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion: "Sir, Qucheng and Lingyuan are interesting, but we don't need them when our troops are traveling, right?"

"You idiot."

Old Man Yang, a man holding a cigarette, said with a smile: "After this battle, the Xiao family has been completely destroyed, and the order of Bingzhou for thousands of years has also collapsed."

"The prince asked you to go out on patrol, firstly to eliminate the demon troubles, and secondly, to take the opportunity to rectify Bingzhou. It is the harvest season now. Renqucheng and Lingyuan were allies when we were weak. If we don't let others follow us now, what will you do in the future?"

Convincing people?"

"Even if Jianghu gangs are waving their flags, they can't just be tough with their fists..."

"Oh, that's it."

Zhang Heng suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "Then I guess these two companies won't be the only ones who will follow."

The treasure-suppressing man, Old Man Yang, had a childish expression on his face, "Now that something is happening to the Xiao family, even if it's just to show their attitude, they will send people to follow."

Wang Xuan nodded and said: "Mr. Yang is right. This trip is to create momentum, deter hidden evil spirits, and calm people's hearts. This is our mission."

"Now there are 3,000 veterans in Yong'an, and 2,000 new recruits have passed the battle at Kanyuan Mountain. On this patrol, I will bring 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 auxiliary troops to accompany me."

"At present, there is a chaos in Bingzhou, and Yong'an has to guard against it. Liu Shun, you lead two thousand soldiers and Mo Shenjun to guard Yong'an to prevent evil and thieves from causing chaos."

"Yes, sir."

"This patrol is not to open up wasteland. Qi Long and Huang Lao will go with me, while the rest of the enshrinement camp will stay in Yong'an..."

"Yes, sir."

After making some arrangements, everyone was ordered to go about their business, while Wang Xuan rode his horse to the City God's Temple.

"Master Wang, please come this way."

Guo Shou sent a Taoist boy to guard the door early in the morning and led Wang Xuan into the backyard.

"Brother Wang."

Chen Qiong stood under the eaves with a pale face. When she saw Empress Wang Xuan, she immediately smiled and nodded.

Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen, how is your injury?"

Chen Qiong gave a bitter smile, "It's still the same. Sometimes it's like sleepwalking during the day, and when you use magic with all your strength, you'll faint."

"This is damage to the soul."

Master Ba Dou came over, shook his head and said: "They were dragged into a dream by Nucha, and they set up an altar to curse. If they escape with their lives, they are lucky. It will take at least half a year to recover. When Bingzhou calms down, their sect will send someone to come."

catch."

Guo Shouqing ordered the Taoist boy to help the young man out with a stupid face, "Master Wang, although my uncle has sealed this man's body, he has been frightened for many years and his main soul has been damaged. He will be taken with him on this trip."

What?"

Wang Xuan nodded and said: "Our search for the victims of the soul technique has been revealed. The three soul fetuses are in Yong'an. Who knows what methods the other party will use. It would be more appropriate to follow the army."

"That's fine."

Master Ba Dou nodded, "If you get to Kangyuan and see Senior Brother Tie, you can hand this person over to him and take him back to Wuliang Mountain. The Master may be able to find a way. By the way, come with me."

The two came to the side hall. The tall Taotie Pill Cauldron had not yet cooled down, and the ten human pill coffins were empty. Wang Xuan suddenly made a guess, and said with surprise on his face: "Is it finished, real person?"

Master Ba Dou looked tired and rolled his eyes, "Now your boy is in more and more troubles. After just one acquaintance, I can't bear to have your body exposed in the wilderness."

Wang Xuan was delighted, "That's what the real person said."

He has a close relationship with the Taiyi Sect's Tiezhen lineage, and he talks very casually on weekdays.

After receiving the black lacquer brocade box from Master Ba Dou, after opening it, I saw seventeen golden elixirs arranged neatly inside. Although the evil spirit was restrained, there was an underlying ferocious aura.

Master Ba Dou said in a deep voice: "These Dao Weapon Pills were all warrior cultivators in the Thief-Swallowing Realm during their lifetimes, and they have already forged the bodies of divine weapons. However, after the weapon pills are refined, if they want to fully exert their power, they need to be infused with a large amount of military formation evil.

Qi."

"I know you have a secret method to accumulate military energy, but you have to do it according to your ability, so as not to consume too much and be attacked by others."

Wang Xuan looked solemn and said, "I will remember what the real person said."

The Tao Weapon Pill can also store evil energy, but it will be consumed by daily movement, so Bai Qin rarely drives it and only practices in it, so as to prevent Mo Qingrou from being unable to drive it when she is attacked.

After he mastered the Taixu Yin and Yang Jue, although the Yin and Yang Xuan Sha was extremely powerful and profound, it was still too much for him to supply eighteen soldiers at the same time.

When we left the Chenghuang Temple, night had fallen.

Under the continuous rain, the lights of Yong'an City, which had experienced a day of turmoil, were dimly lit, and the streets were empty. Occasionally, a patrol officer walked by and bowed his hands respectfully to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, rode his horse and disappeared into the rain...

…

Xianquan County, southeast mountainous area.

This is the junction of Minzhou, Huaizhou, and Bingzhou. Although the mountains are continuous, because it is an important commercial town and the Xiaojia Mountain City is located, there are no monster nests or ghost caves.

The people of Xianquan have been having a hard time recently.

Since the Xiao family took over the Bingzhou Chamber of Commerce, many policies have caused chaos in the Chamber of Commerce, resulting in a lot less traveling businessmen from other places.

Not only that, the Xiao family's main house also issued a curfew, and a large number of Xiao family children patrolled every night. Those who violated the prohibition were caught on the spot and thrown into prison, and they had to be stripped of their skins even if they did not die.

The people of Xianquan finally saw the bloody battles within the aristocratic families. People who usually called themselves brothers and sisters suddenly became life-and-death enemies. I heard that more people died in the mountain city, not to mention ordinary people like them...

At this moment, in the heavy rain, only scattered lights were lit in Xianquan County. Teams of patrol guards marched forward holding torches. The once prosperous commercial town has turned into a military camp.

The top of the southeastern mountain was originally a place for watching the military drum show, but at this moment, dense black shadows appeared.

A man covered in heavy armor appeared, with a resolute face, and the banner of General Xuanniao was waving behind him.

"Do it!"

After giving the order, the sergeants rushed out one after another and jumped high from the cliff.

Wow!
Chapter completed!
