At this moment, the city gates of Jizhou City are closed and devastated; it looks like it has become an abandoned city, showing a desolate scene.
Outside Jizhou City, thousands of black-clothed figures exuding a powerful aura were gathering on a hill, overlooking the city.
"Clan leader, the young master is back!"
At this moment, a figure flew over, came to the crowd, knelt down on one knee, and bowed respectfully.
"oh?"
Among the crowd, there was a middle-aged man with gray hair at the head. A trace of surprise flashed across his tired face, and he hurriedly asked: "Where are you?"
"Chief Hui, we have arrived at the bottom of the mountain!"
Before he finished speaking, a luxurious, noble and extraordinary carriage came at a gallop. In an instant, it ran up the hill and stopped in front of everyone.
"father!"
The carriage curtain opened, and a young man in a splendid sword robe stepped out of the carriage, raised his hands to the middle-aged man and shouted: "I'm back!"
"Yun'er!"
When he saw the coming person, the middle-aged man was overjoyed, strode forward, took the young man into his arms, and laughed and said: "Hahaha, you came back just in time; Jizhou City can be captured in less than three days; by then,
It would be a good story for you and me, father and son, to enter the city together!"
"Dad, I hurried back from the imperial capital this time just for this matter."
The young man smiled, cupped his hands and said, "My eldest cousin sent a message asking dad to temporarily give up conquering Jizhou City and instead occupy Qingyun City!"
"Why?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned and said in confusion: "Yun'er, this Jizhou City is about to be captured; and once it is captured, the hundreds of thousands of people in the city will be enough for us to refine several blood pills.
Wouldn’t it be a pity to give up now?”
"Dad, my cousin is not asking you to abandon Jizhou City. He is just suspending the attack on the city and capture Qingyun City first."
The young man smiled faintly, then lowered his voice and said: "We have received news that Ye Wushuang is coming back from Nanhua. This son is unfathomable and will most likely affect our plans, so we must be on guard. And when he comes back this time, it will be very difficult for him to do so.
I will return to Qingyun City in eight or nine months, which is a rare and good opportunity for us."
"Oh? Does the eldest prince want us to... set an ambush in Qingyun City in advance?"
"right!"
The young man nodded slightly, but his expression became solemn, and he said seriously: "Dad, this kid Ye Wushuang has risen too fast recently and has posed a serious threat to us, so this time, we must get rid of him."
"In addition, as far as I know, Ye Wenfeng, Ye Wufeng and others have also left the imperial capital and gone home to visit relatives. They will arrive in Qingyun City in the near future; this time, we can just catch them all!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly brightened and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that boy Ye Wushuang is really weird, so we have to guard against him; if the eldest prince hadn't prevented the Ye family from being touched before, Qingyun City would have been ours long ago.
.”
"But now, after enduring it for so long, it's time for that old guy Ye Qingtian to see the true strength of our Qi family!"
"Um!"
The young man nodded slightly and immediately urged: "Dad, let's go to Qingyun City as soon as possible. Although Ye Wushuang will take some time to get back, Ye Wenfeng and others have already set off and will arrive at Qingyun City in less than three days. We must
Take care of everything before they arrive."
"In addition, I also brought many princelings this time, and they all have Tianchong realm cultivation. It will be more convenient to deal with the Ye family!"
"good!"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and immediately gathered his troops and rushed to Qingyun City.
...
Early the next morning, outside Jizhou County.
A carriage was galloping on the official road from north to south.
"Da Wen, Xiao Shuang, Meng Tian, this is your first time coming to Qingyun City. When you get there, I will definitely take you to taste the delicious food of our Qingyun City!"
In the carriage, Ye Wufeng looked at Meng Tian and the others, and said with a smile: "Especially the fine wines from Taibai Tower, they are even more outstanding; I am not boasting, even compared with the fine wines from the Imperial Capital, they are not much better!
"
"You haven't even gotten home yet, and you want to drink?"
Ye Wenfeng, who was sitting side by side with Ye Wufeng, smiled helplessly and joked: "I heard before that you were almost beaten to death in Taibai Tower; why, I want to experience it again when I go home this time.
?”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Wufeng's face suddenly became a little confused, and he immediately denied it: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, it's nothing!"
Seeing Ye Wufeng's anxious look, Li Dawen and the other three immediately looked at each other and smiled.
There were still more than two months before the end of the year, but they didn't expect that Cangyun College would give the students their annual leave in advance this year. The three of them originally wanted to have some fun in the imperial capital and then go home.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Ye Wufeng came to the door and invited the three of them to Qingyun City as guests.
After thinking about it, the three of them felt that nothing happened, and they had followed Ye Wushuang for so long and had never been to Qingyun City. After some discussion, they came together.
And the six people traveling together made this dry and boring trip to visit relatives less monotonous.
"No?"
Ye Wenfeng frowned, smiled and poked Liu Qingcheng, who was looking out of the window, and asked: "Qingcheng, tell me, is this possible?"
However, Liu Qingcheng turned a deaf ear at this moment, as if he didn't hear anything, and still stared out the window blankly.
"Qingcheng, Qingcheng?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Wenfeng called out a few words in confusion.
"ah?"
Only then did Liu Qingcheng come back to her senses. She looked at her elder brother with a puzzled face and asked, "What's wrong, elder brother?"
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ye Wenfeng did not continue to dwell on the previous question, but asked curiously: "How do you feel that you have been a little absent-minded since entering Jizhou County?"
"Needless to say, Qingcheng must have missed her third brother!"
"No..."
"Hahaha, second brother understands, second brother understands it all!"
Ye Wufeng burst out laughing, and at the same time pointed at Meng Tian and the others, and continued: "They all understand too!"
"Oh, second brother..."
Liu Qingcheng's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she gave a shy squeak, "It's really not true!"
"Oh, so you don't miss the third child?"
"It's not..."
"Then I still miss him!"
"No... Oops!"
Liu Qingcheng felt that she couldn't explain clearly. She blushed and snorted, and reported to her eldest brother Ye Wenfeng: "Brother, look at my second brother, he always bullies me!"
"Okay, okay, second child, if you bully Qingcheng again, I will tell the third child when he comes back!"
Ye Wenfeng pretended to be angry and scolded Ye Wufeng, then looked at Liu Qingcheng and asked doubtfully: "Then what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it just feels...a little weird."
Liu Qingcheng shook her head and explained: "My third brother and I walked this road before when we went to the imperial capital. Although there were rogue bandits at that time, there were still many pedestrians and caravans on this official road."
"But for some reason today, since we entered Jizhou County, we haven't seen even a single pedestrian, let alone a caravan, along the way. Don't you think it's strange?"
Weird?
As soon as these words came out, several people immediately opened the curtains and looked outside.
Sure enough, there was no one on the seemingly wide and flat official road at this moment; you must know that it was the morning, and it should be the best time for pedestrians and caravans to rush on their way. How could there be no one there?
Everyone noticed something strange and frowned slightly.
Only Ye Wufeng still looked indifferent and said with a smile: "Hey, maybe the Chinese New Year is coming soon and everyone is resting at home!"
"Besides, when you and your third brother went to the imperial capital, autumn had just entered and it was the busy farming season, so there were naturally more caravans. But now, it is already deep winter and the world is freezing. It is normal that there are fewer people on the road.
.”
"Okay, you don't need to make a fuss; I think this place is only a hundred miles away from Qingyun City, and it can be reached in three hours at most. Is it possible that there are still people who dare to attack us here..."
Bang...
Before Ye Wufeng finished speaking, a dull collision sound suddenly sounded; the speeding carriage suddenly stopped, causing several people in the carriage to sway and almost fall.
"What's going on?"
Ye Wufeng, who was closest to the car door, opened the curtain and opened his mouth to scold the groom, but his eyes glanced ahead and his pupils shrank instantly.
In front of the carriage, I saw a figure, covered in blood and pale, lying in the middle of the official road, blocking the way of the carriage.
"Um?"
When his eyes fell on the bloody figure, Ye Wufeng frowned and said in surprise: "Lin...Lin Yu?"
