Some changes have taken place in Taiming City.

With the assassination of the prefect and General Lu, the atmosphere became obviously tense, both in the Taiming Army and the Taiming City, so nervous that even ordinary people could easily detect it.

It is said that not only the scouts of the Taiming Army have frequently traveled between Taiming City and Heiqiao City in recent times, but also the legendary Ancient Army, which belongs to the Taishou, have entered Taiming City in large numbers. Occasionally, some families disappeared overnight, probably because of the work of Ancient Army.

Compared with the perceptions of the Taiming people, the Taiming soldiers felt much stronger.

As the characters in Anbu and wearing black cloaks and tights first entered Kurobashi City, everyone felt a terrifying feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.

But as time went by, there were no rumors that soldiers or even officers were taken away by the Ancient Army, which made the dark clouds above Heiqiao City become deeper and more depressing, making people restless.

Fortunately, there is a war.

When the war broke out, no one of the soldiers had the energy to care about the men in black robes.

Life and death are the biggest problems.

Since that day, the Taishou patrol and the largest martial arts exercise in the Taiming Army in more than ten years, teams of thousands or even two or three thousand people will receive orders from the general to leave the city and go deep into the mountains and forests on different routes to carry out reconnaissance tasks. Whether the target is discovered or not, they must return to Heiqiao City at the designated time the next day.

But what is strange is that, except for a few of the teams that went out, no team had ever fought in a small group of beasts.

The person who led the troops to fight this day was Zhang Zifeng, a deputy general who had been in Heiqiao City, who had been depressed. He ordered three thousand troops out of the camp the second time he received the military order. The army headed southeast without hesitation and plunged directly into the mountain area closest to Heiqiao City.

But he didn't know that shortly after his team left Heiqiao City, three teams of two thousand people received military orders and followed him in a package and a half.

Zhang Zifeng didn't have the heart to pay too much attention to his back, because when he walked deep into the mountains as directed by the military order, he immediately discovered something unusual.

Because according to the Taiming Military Daily, there have been signs of a large number of beast groups and even demons appearing in the mountains near Taiming. Occasionally, the scale of beast tide that fell into the eyes of scouts several times was even several times higher than in previous years!

But when he went deep into the mountains with a bloody battle to return, he found that the mountains and forests were silent, as if in a few days all the birds, beasts, insects and snakes in the mountains were dead!

Extremely weird.

He could only slow down his original plan of rapid and in-depth development, and used elite cultivators as scouts to expand the scope of the reconnaissance to the mountains and forests within a radius of ten miles. Instead of taking relatively remote paths, he chose the canyon avenue that had been familiar to the Taiming Army for many years. However, until he penetrated deep into the place where the military orders reached, they did not encounter any decent beast groups. This familiar and unfamiliar jungle became inexplicably terrifying for a moment.

This feeling made him feel a little uneasy.

So he ordered the commander to return according to the military order, but he hid in the forest and headed in the opposite direction. After several miles, he immediately found a huge group of beasts gathered here in a huge mountain canyon with rivers!!

He lurked carefully on the side, carefully observed the beast group before retreating and retreating little by little, retreating all the way, setting traps, and soon caught up with the army. Then the army accelerated and returned to Heiqiao City smoothly.

After returning to the city, Zhang Zifeng was called by the messenger from the general's mansion in the city before he could have a short rest.

Without saying much, he directly followed the commander to the general's mansion in Heiqiao City.

After passing through the military camp and entering the officers' residential area, Zhang Zifeng was very familiar with this place. While following the messenger, he lowered his head and thought about his experience in the mountains and forests in the past two days, especially the beasts in the canyon, which always made him feel strange and unpredictable. For a moment, he couldn't understand what the Nanyi wanted to go north this time.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt an extremely forced murderous intent beside him hitting his face!

It hurts his skin!!

He had no time to react, and could only use the instinctive reaction he had sharpened between life and death on the battlefield, and tilted his right hand to his waist, but found that he was coming to the general's mansion without a knife at all!

In a daze, the murderous offensive had already reached his side!!

He quickly mobilized the true energy in his body to press it down on his right arm. At the critical moment, he could still use the power of his shoulder to press a complex yellow array pattern between the two feet away!!

"Dong..."

After a dull sound of a huge rock falling into a pit from a high place, Zhang Zifeng's yellow array pattern that was knocked out with his shoulders was cracked and broken into dust fragments in the sky. However, he was just shook back three or four steps by a gentle force and leaned against the wall on one side. His leopard eyes were staring at the three men in Taoist robes in front of him and shouted, "You... Wangchuan Sword Cultivation?!!"

The leader of the three people was a burly middle-aged man. He was also staring at Zhang Zifeng with his bull eyes, looking at him with great spirits. He was very impressed. On his left one, the face was similar to his, but his long beard and gray hair were much older, smiling, and he looked a little amiable, but on the other side was a vicious Taoist priest.

The vicious Taoist priest among the three people apologized and smiled at Zhang Zifeng and bowed, "Don't blame Zhang, we and the three of us are here under the orders of the prefect and General Lu to wait for Zhang and take a try. It is really a spy from the Southern Yi who is too cunning and has to do it. I hope no wonder."

Zhang Zifeng glanced at Lu Dongfeng's personal soldiers who nodded to him on the other side, then exhaled a long breath, rubbed his shoulders, and bowed to the three Taoist priests. "Since he was ordered to act, Zhang naturally dared not blame the three Taoist priests," he looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest in the middle and bowed solemnly, "Do you ask the real person Zhang has passed the test?"

"Of course," the middle-aged Taoist priest in the lead waved his hand, "but I'm a little interested in your last technique of forming a formation with shoulders. And I think you are practicing the earth-based Taoist Technique, and your body is condensed and heavy. It just so happens that my ability is also good at defense. If there are flaws in the future, I can compete with you."

"I dare not, Zhang can't talk to the real person with the real person in depth. The real person does not dislike Zhang's stupidity and is willing to give advice. Zhang is very grateful, but now he is inconvenient for official duties. When he is free, he must go to the real person's mansion to ask for advice." Zhang Zifeng bowed and nodded to the other two Taoists before going to the mansion with the commander to go to the mansion.

Only three Taoist priests were left still in place, so naturally there were three Taoist priests Niu Deyi, Niu Dexin and Qin Wansong.

The old Taoist Niu Dexin, who had already pretended to be the demeanor of a pastor, was tired. While reaching out to rub his already stiff face, he asked the middle-aged Taoist priest beside him, "Senior brother, is the transformation technique I encountered this time really as troublesome as the little prefect said?"

Qin Wansong could only smile silently when he heard the title of Luo Chuan by Changfeng.

Niu Deyi lost his usual casual appearance, Zheng Keying, then looked deep into the city lord's mansion and murmured, "Unless the two senior brothers are coming, even if Senior Sister Qingyun really arrives, I'm afraid there is no better way. This kind of thing depends on who can't calm down first..."
