Chapter 257: The Crisis of Jiannan Road (4000 words two in one chapter)(2/3)
Because he knew that if he arrived in Guanzhong and entered Chang'an one day earlier, the soldiers of Jiannan Road would have greater hope of survival.
With the current garrison in Jiannan Road alone and the tens of thousands of people in Jinguan City, it is only a matter of time before the city is lost.
Even if they can persist, what will happen to the food problem?
The food stored in the city is always limited, and there will always be a day when it is finished.
What if reinforcements don’t come, the barbarians can’t be driven away, and they run out of food?
Chen Lin simply couldn't imagine it.
Your Majesty will definitely send reinforcements, right?
By the time he arrives in Chang'an, maybe the crisis in Chang'an will have been resolved, right?
That must be it!
After all, all the armies in the world are working for the king, and it is only a matter of time before the crisis in Chang'an is resolved.
"Hold on, brothers, you must hold on!"
…
…
As the search for bad guys deepens, the living space of Jie Ligu and Nora is further compressed.
Their strongholds in Dongshi were eliminated one by one, and the number of meetings was also reduced.
Since the last time the high priest appeared possessed, he has not appeared again.
Jieli Gu and Nala, who had not received the latest instructions, could only hide themselves as much as possible to ensure that the northern barbarians and the Demon Sect would not expose their whereabouts before they attacked Chang'an City with all their strength.
They hid in Dongshi and stayed at each location for no more than two hours.
In this way, even if the bad guys are investigated one by one, they will eventually be one step slower.
"Idiots like these bad guys only know how to find things according to the map, but they don't know that I keep changing my hiding place."
Nora hid in a wine shop owned by a foreigner. She climbed over the high wall like a civet, and then landed lightly in the courtyard.
The northern barbarians have a unique smell, and in order to cover up this smell, Nora likes to hide in places with strong smells.
Such as spice shops, such as wine shops...
As a practitioner, Nora can go without food for long periods of time.
Because it is very dangerous when it is convenient, and excrement may attract stalkers if it is not handled properly.
As a craftsman, she must ensure that her whereabouts are elusive.
Sneaking into the cellar of the wine shop, Nora could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This is a place where wine is stored, and is rarely visited on weekdays.
Although Nora likes drinking, she doesn't have any interest in it at the moment.
Firstly, she was very hungry, and secondly, drinking caused trouble.
At this moment, she must ensure that she is in a highly alert state.
Nora suppressed her instinct and sat cross-legged on the floor.
She closed her eyes and entered a meditative state to reduce energy consumption.
After about an hour of burning incense, Nora, who was in a meditative state, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.
She opened her eyes suddenly, raised her ears and listened carefully.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Nora's body tensed up, like a big cat preparing to hunt and deliver a fatal blow.
He's not a bad person, is he?
These guys are really haunting!
Nora thought secretly in her heart.
It has to be said that although the bad guys are a step slower every time, they can always catch up later.
Nora didn't dare to be careless at all, otherwise she might be stuck with a bad person and would be difficult to get rid of.
Quiet, too quiet.
It was so quiet that Nora could hear her own heartbeat clearly.
Squeak!
As the old wooden door was pushed open, Nora noticed a figure jumping in.
The opponent's speed was so fast that Nora couldn't see him clearly!
The other party is also a practitioner!
Nora judged this in her heart.
This made her more vigilant and put her whole person in a fighting state.
She is a fourth-level practitioner and has learned the Demonic Sect's techniques. She will not be at a disadvantage when facing practitioners of the same level. She will have an absolute advantage from the beginning when facing those whose level is lower than hers.
Whoosh!
Nora felt a gust of cold wind blow by, and then a figure flashed in front of her eyes.
Then he struck her with a knife.
This sword technique is very domineering and unreasonable.
There aren't that many tricks, it's just simple and crude.
"Cleaving the road between life and death with one sword is the Canglang sword technique! You are from the academy!"
Nora recognized the opponent's approach immediately, and then transformed her fist into a sword to take the blow forcefully.
In terms of ruthlessness, the Demon Sect is not inferior to others at all.
Nora's punch was full of confidence.
It's just that she obviously underestimated the dominance of Canglang's sword skills, and she only felt pain from the tiger's mouth after taking the knife forcefully.
If you look closely, you will see that it is cracked and oozing out bright red blood!
hiss!
I didn't expect that the opponent's strength was so strong.
Little did she know that Zhao Xun's Canglang Sword technique was realized in this first move.
Zhao Xun poured almost all his insights into this formula.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
After three moves, Zhao Xun's sword intent will weaken rapidly.
"how did you find me?"
Nora subconsciously took a few steps back and said with a half-smile.
"It's not easy to find you, your scent is so obvious."
"But I have tried my best to conceal my breath."
Nora frowned and said, "And I change my hiding place every two hours. How did you find me?"
"Humans have a very poor sense of smell, but spiritual beasts are different."
Zhao Xun smiled lightly and said: "What's more, I use the best among spiritual beasts, the white dragon that everyone has said is good."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that Pipi Xia was indeed reliable, and it only took him a few days to track the demon sect's enchantress out.
It is said that the white dragon's sense of smell is several times that of a spirit dog. It is indeed impressive to see with my own eyes today.
"So who do you represent? The Imperial Court of Zhou or the Academy?"
From the beginning, Nora noticed the strong aura of awe that Zhao Xun exuded, but she was not sure that Zhao Xun was from the academy.
Because Zhao Xun was wearing the clothes of a bad person.
"Is this question critical?"
Zhao Xun frowned and said: "I said I am destroying you on behalf of the moon, what can you do?"
"Destroying you on behalf of the moon? What does this mean?"
Nora was stunned and completely at a loss.
Seeing that the other party couldn't take the joke, Zhao Xunwu laughed at himself: Travelers are indeed the loneliest. No one can understand your thoughts, no one can enter your world, and no one can understand your soul.
"In short, you fell into my hands and can't escape."
Zhao Xun made a very cool summary.
"Only you?"
Nora raised the corners of her mouth and asked disdainfully.
