Not mentioning all the things outside the city, Lin Xiao and Pashan mingled among the crowd and walked down the city, still thinking about each other's strength.

The dozen or so accompanying men and Crystal Scale Sand Lizards are generally in the late stage of Qi refining, and there are a few who are in the Perfect Realm mixed in.

Lin Xiao didn't take these people seriously. After all, there was a huge gap between the two sides, and such a gap could not be made up by the number of people.

Instead, it was Hundun himself. This was the first time Lin Xiao had seen a local foundation-building monk since falling into the "Traceless Sea".

If we talk about the difference between him and other monks of the same realm, just by facing each other, Lin Xiao can feel that the other party is a little more ruthless, or it may be the murderous aura cultivated through years of killing.

As you can imagine, the strength is not weak.

As for what will happen if we actually get involved, it’s hard to say.

With this in mind, Lin Xiao quickly followed Pashan back to the caravan's temporary base.

It can be said that Tuosang, the second master, is also a man with good intentions. As soon as the abnormal situation subsided, he led a group of people to withdraw from the city gate and directly found an open space below the building in the north corner of the city, where they all used it as a temporary resting place.

At this time, as soon as Lin Xiao and Pa Shanfu returned, he immediately came forward to greet them.

"Boss, Brother Xu, what do you say?" Tuo Sang saluted Lin Xiao with a fist and asked.

Pashan lightly "hummed". "What can I say? Hundun came in person and said that he would start massacring the city at Haishi." He looked towards the direction of the caravan and said, "It's enough to have an idea of ​​​​this matter and don't spread out."

"I know, don't worry, boss." Tuosang nodded when he heard this, knowing that it was the responsibility of the accompanying guards to fight against others. The inside information was of no use to the caravan on the one hand, and on the other hand, it would only increase panic and would not help the matter. Naturally

It’s best not to mention it.

Lin Xiao glanced at the people stationed there, and saw twenty or thirty camels placed aside, forming a half circle. Some of the young and old men in the caravan were fetching water, some were applying medicine, and were treating the wounds of several wounded people.<

/p>

Outside the caravan, Tuotuo was holding a weapon in his hand, standing on the roof of a house next to the open space, looking out from a high position.

As if aware of Lin Xiao's gaze, the "evil man"'s eyes jumped and he nodded.

The rest of the guard brothers occupied the open space and entered and exited the doorway, being on full alert and patrolling non-stop.

Lin Xiao nodded secretly after seeing this. Apart from anything else, the Solan Guards had nothing to say about their strategies and improvised decisions, so he asked: "How is the situation in the team? How many people were injured?"

Tuo Sang hurriedly replied: "Brother Xu, don't worry. Although the city gate was in chaos just now, the trouble was caused by the two caravans entering the city. We stayed aside and let them go first, but we didn't expect that we just escaped.

”

Then he added: "At present, the guards are all injured, and no one is injured. A few people on the caravan side are injured, but they are not serious. However, a few camels were frightened and bumped around, leaving no trace.

There should be no other losses."

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said softly: "After taking a rest for a while, he called everyone and continued to compress the garrison area, leaning against the turrets and walls on both sides, and retreating to one place as much as possible."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the outer buildings, and continued: "On the outer edge of the station, I will set up a magic circle to defend against the enemy. As long as Hundun doesn't do it himself, or the people inside go out without authorization and block the Qi refining, the problem should be no

Big."

Pashan and Tuosang were overjoyed when they heard this. "Thank you so much, Brother Xu!"

After saying that, he was about to bow down, but was directly grabbed by Lin Xiao, shaking his head and saying: "There is an expert behind Hundun. There are so many people in the city, so I can't call the battle openly and take action forcefully. This matter needs to be done slowly."

I'm sorry, but please bear with me."

The two Pashans didn't know what Lin Xiao meant. Even though they were under pressure from the Jiaoya Gang and the Lord of Tutai City, they still had to find ways to protect the safety of the guard caravan. In doing so, it was no exaggeration to say that they were benevolent and righteous.

How can you say anything else?

Then Pashan and Tuosang nodded their heads heavily and said solemnly: "Brother, it's a great kindness. Just go ahead and do it. Life or death is your fate. No matter what the result is, we will accept it!"

Lin Xiao smiled. "It's not that serious..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sharp shout coming from the direction of Tuo Tuo Ze. "Solan Guard Station, whoever is coming, stop quickly!"

Everyone in the open space was startled when they heard the sound. They looked in the direction Tuo Tuoze pointed and saw a man in shorts walking out of the alley. He didn't answer, but bowed first.

"Don't get me wrong, I, the Dark Blade Guard Wudu, would like to meet with the leader of your team!"

Pashan frowned slightly, looked up and down, and returned the greeting: "I am Pashan, the Solan Guard. I wonder what Brother Wudu means here?"

"I've met Boss Pa." The man named Wudude leaned forward and said: "On the order of Dabai, the leader of my team, I came here to invite Boss Pa to discuss the strategy of facing the enemy, and also asked Boss Pa to reward him.

I’m a thin noodle, why don’t you move over?”

"Discuss a strategy to meet the enemy?..." Pashan muttered, and quietly sent a message to Lin Xiao: "What did Brother Xu say? Is this really necessary?"

Lin Xiao replied: "They invited me, and it would be rude of me not to wait. I might as well go and have a look and see what happens."

"That's fine, please allow me to come with you, brother," Pashan replied.

"It's easy to talk about, it's a trivial matter." Lin Xiao replied.

Pashan then took the first step. "The leader of your team invites me, so naturally I will go. I also ask Brother Wudu to lead the way."

"Thank you, Mr. Pa, for the honor!" Wudu clasped his fists in salute and waved his hand. "Please."

Here, Pashan gave Tuosang a few more instructions, telling him to retreat and set up camp under the turret, and then he and Lin Xiao left with Wudu.

Not far along the main road in the city, right next to the well where water was supplied, Lin Xiao saw from a distance ten or twenty men in different clothes, scattered in a circle, discussing something quietly.

At a glance, many people have seen it in Chengtou Mountain.

When Lin Xiao and the two came closer, Wu Dudang, who was walking in front, said first: "Report to the boss, Boss Pa from the Solan Guard has been invited."

Everyone in the field looked at them. Nadabai said that brothers have worked hard, and then he cupped his fists and saluted Pashan and Lin Xiao. "I'm going to pay homage to you. I've heard about Pabo's reputation for a long time. I'm glad to meet you! Please take a seat!"<

/p>

"You're welcome, Boss Da!" Pashan returned the greeting, and then he and Lin Xiao found a random place and sat down.

Lin Xiao had just been in a hurry and didn't pay attention. Now for the first time, he could clearly see the person talking to him at the top of the city.

I saw the opponent, who was around forty, quite tall, wearing a sleeveless linen robe, standing in the middle of the field, clasping his fists in all directions, and said loudly: "Now that everyone is here, let me briefly explain, there are thieves outside the city now.

The situation is strong, and I am about to discuss this matter with all of you, and come up with a way to overcome this difficulty together."

After saying this, everyone in the venue was whispering to each other and talking a lot. Nadabai was not in a hurry, as if he was waiting for them to let go and talk. He stood with his hands behind his hands and his eyes moved slowly.

As for other people, they really have everything.

Some said they wanted a bloody battle, some said they wanted to negotiate a peace, some said they wanted to break out, and some even said they wanted to use "trust eagles" to ask for help elsewhere...

After hearing all this, Lin Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more confused, and even had a tendency to take action if they disagreed, Nadabai seemed to be watching the heat coming, raised his hand and pressed down, and said loudly: "I invite you all to come here, for the common good.

We are looking for a way out. Now we are noisy and have no rules. Why don't we just listen to the next words?"

The voices of everyone present stopped for a moment, and then someone said: "Okay, since it is Boss Da who is taking the lead in this matter, you can say it first!"

"Okay! Let me listen to you first!"

"..."

Nadabai smiled and fisted. "Thank you all for your compliments. I will pick up what you just said and talk about it."

I saw him holding out a finger. "First of all, it's a bloody battle. It's inappropriate to say this. They are building a foundation and sitting in it. How can we have the confidence to fight for our lives?"

After saying this, someone immediately said: "Boss Da, what you said makes sense! Just now I said, why fight? If you fight with others, they will crush you to death with one finger, without even looking at your own weight!"
p>

"What the hell are you talking about! Keep your mouth clean!" Another dark-skinned man next to him immediately yelled and cursed.

The man on the other side was not polite and stood up immediately with his men without giving in. "I'll keep saying this a few times! Damn it! Do you have the strength to fight with me? Why don't you listen to me and send people out early?"

, negotiate and settle the matter!"

"Make peace! Make peace! Go talk to those sand lizards outside the city! I'll watch you die from the top of the city!"

"You are really looking for death!"

"That's enough——!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and the true energy wind swept across the entire audience. Dabai raised his eyebrows, spread out his peak Qi refining skills, looked at the two groups of people, and said coldly.

"I have invited you all to come here to discuss this matter, not just to see each other fighting each other and causing chaos before fighting! If so, it is better to leave early without talking!"

When the two parties saw Dabai showing his cultivation, they also knew that fighting was not an option, so they snorted a few times and sat down again.

Dabai glanced at the audience coldly and said: "I do not agree to a bloody battle, nor do I agree to open the door to negotiate a peace. I don't even think about breaking out and asking for help. It is not a survival plan at all!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at Dabai.

"Ah? Isn't this a plan for survival?"

"Yeah, it didn't work out anyway? What does this mean, Boss Da?"

"..."

Dabai gave a slight "cough" and waited until the crowd's momentum subsided before speaking.

"Let's talk about breaking out first. With a caravan, who can outrun the sand lizards behind them? Or leave them with 1200 or 200 people and escape alone? Not to mention whether you can escape or not, even if you escape, do the next

With such evil deeds, how can we have a foothold in the 'Traceless Sea' in the future? Should we just blacken our names and turn around to become a 'sand bandit knife'?"

Hearing Dabai's words, everyone in the venue nodded at the same time. Even the person who had just proposed this method changed his mind and shouted that it should not be like this, as if he had never said it before.
