Nanping City is a large city in the southernmost part of Luozhou.
Further south is the boundary between Luzhou and Huazhou.
In the early years, Luzhou was a foreign country. Border provocations were often provoked and wars often broke out.
Nanping City was the frontier land of the former dynasty, and it became a military center for a time, hence the name Nanping.
When the Liao Kingdom was established in the previous dynasty, the founding emperor conquered a vast territory from east to west, and even the Southern Wasteland was included in the territory of the Liao Kingdom, thus achieving the great unification of the Middle-earth continent, and this place became the Luzhou.
The once important town of Nanping also suffered from depression and lost its importance as a military town in the past.
Despite this, the city wall remains the same, the city is high and deep, and its defensive power is probably even greater than that of Fengyin Mansion, the capital of Luozhou.
However, times have changed, and without people, even the tallest city walls are just decorations.
A few days ago, Zhang Qijin, Shen Shengnan, and Tie Fengjian led a team to this place.
There was no fighting, just some shouting, and the people in the city opened the city and surrendered.
Considering that Junwei Trading Company came here in the name of doing business, this cannot be called surrender, it can only be regarded as "respect".
Not yet.
Nanping has welcomed their real new owner.
Zhuo Junyan took the lead, with the cavalry behind him galloping forward.
The iron hooves trampled through the peaceful afternoon, shooting down the debris that filled the sky.
The chilling wind rises.
Iron-blooded and mighty!
Crossing the long street and crossing the main road, you feel like you are entering an uninhabited land, and when you rush into the city guard's office, you will be surrounded by the scenery of the city, and everyone will worship you wherever you pass.
In front of the mansion, Zhang Qijin was already waiting.
Zhuo Junyan rode the horse to a halt, the horse neighed, the horse's hooves were raised high, and then fell heavily, leaving a cloud of dust and smoke.
Zhuo Junyan is sitting on a horse, his posture is elevated, and he looks majestic.
Zhang Qijin knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and shouted: "Lord!"
"Where are the others?" Zhuo Junyan asked, reining in his horse.
"Captain Iron is directing the defense of each door, and Captain Shen is leading people to monitor Qingsong Hall."
"Qingsong Hall? So Yan Luoqing entered Qingsong Hall?"
"Yes!" Zhang Qijin said resolutely: "I entered the city at midnight last night and have not left the city yet."
"Let's go!" Zhuo Junyan turned his horse's head and shouted: "Go to Qingsong Hall!"
This time, he didn't waste a moment, and once again the storm started rolling forward.
Qingsong Hall is located on Siping Street in Nanping City.
When the team arrived at the street corner, they saw Shen Shengnan standing there in military uniform.
Seeing Zhuo Junyan coming over, Shen Shengnan said directly: "Yan Luoqing and Ji Tianhao are both inside."
"Very good, blockade the whole street and surround the whole street." Zhuo Junyan waved his iron arm, and Zhang Qijin led his men to rush out at high speed and began to disperse everyone around him.
Under the leadership of Zhuo Junyan, Junwei's people are now fierce and popular in their actions. Although they are not as cruel as bandits, they are more arrogant than bandits and can be compared with the officers and soldiers!
At this moment, the streets were blocked, pedestrians were being driven away, and the noise became louder, creating chaos and chaos.
Shen Shengnan said: "This way they will find out."
"It doesn't matter, you know what I don't mind the least is a strong attack." Zhuo Junyan said coldly.
Shen Shengnan sighed: "Chen Qingsong has good medical skills. If he can be used for me... at least you can save some rejuvenation pills."
She now understands Zhuo Junyan's temper. If you tell him to keep an open mind and do less killing, he will probably dismiss it. If you tell him that you can save some rejuvenation pills, he will probably accept it.
Sure enough, Zhuo Junyan said: "As long as he is obedient, I have no problem."
In just a moment, the long street has been cleared and the avenues are clear.
In such a big city, the streets are long, the fields are empty, and there are no people to spare.
The escorts were armed with AKs and were on guard everywhere. Their tactical posture was very close to that of special operations soldiers in the real world. They occupied favorable terrain and completely surrounded Qingsong Hall.
At this time, Qingsong Hall was still quiet and there was no reaction.
The more this is the case, the more it means that the people inside have realized something is wrong.
Zhuo Junyan didn't intend to waste time. He was about to go in when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked behind him.
He smiled slightly: "Brother Zhisui, come out, what are you still hiding?"
Following his shout, Du Zhishui was seen walking out of a corner not far away.
The former young head of the Du family is still handsome, but his demeanor is no longer what it used to be.
It brings a bit of loneliness and a bit of desolation.
His face is sad and his eyes are filled with sorrow and anger.
He looked at Zhuo Junyan: "Why? Why do you always want to stop me? How did my brother and sister offend you?"
His heart was filled with sorrow, his tone was sad, and his face was filled with the word "sad" in large letters.
How can one be so sad and angry?
Zhuo Junyan still spoke calmly: "I can understand. You finally found Chen Qingsong and wanted to ask him to save your sister, but you found that the place was surrounded by me. Chen Qingsong was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself. His hopes were frustrated, and he was inevitably sad and angry.
"
Du Zhishui clenched his fist: "I shouldn't have told Jin Wuxin!"
Zhuo Junyan sneered: "Prejudice is a terrible thing. It will make you unable to see the reality clearly and prevent you from taking the right path."
These words made Du Zhishui's heart tremble.
yes!
Little did he know that the best way to save his sister was not to find Chen Qingsong, but to find Zhuo Junyan!
But he doesn't want to!
The pride from his family made him unable to forgive Zhuo Junyan, and insisted that he was the one who harmed his sister.
Although he also knew that Du Xuanling was to blame, she was his sister after all!
Emotions blinded his reason, and he did not want to go to Zhuo Junyan.
But he didn't expect that along the way, he would hear Zhuo Junyan's name everywhere. He didn't expect that in just half a year, Zhuo Junyan had already controlled half of Luozhou, and even Nanyue Lord was killed by him.
The less he wanted to hear the name, the more he heard it.
There is no way to avoid it.
Even when he came here and learned that Chen Qingsong was in Qingsong Hall, he thought he could finally bypass Zhuo Junyan and Shen Shengnan, but he didn't expect that Zhuo Junyan came directly to kill him...
This made him extremely sad and unwilling!
Looking at Du Zhishui's expression, Zhuo Junyan said, "Did Xu Mingfeng tell you that Chen Qingsong can save Du Xuanling?"
Du Zhishui's expression changed drastically: "You..."
Seeing his expression, Zhuo Junyan knew that everything was fine.
He whispered: "Xu Mingfeng studied art with your father back then, right? Although he didn't officially start, he can be considered your senior brother. You met him accidentally when you were in Sanshui City, and it was he who taught you that Chen Qingsong can
Save your sister?"
Du Zhishui just looked at him coldly.
Zhuo Junyan said: "But you don't know that he betrayed you."
Unexpectedly, Du Zhishui was not too surprised.
He looked at Zhuo Junyan: "How do you know?"
Um?
Looking at Du Zhishui's expression, Zhuo Junyan wondered: "Do you know he betrayed you?"
Du Zhishui clenched his fists: "This bastard...he pretended that he could save Xuan Ling, but in fact he used his sister as his medicine guide!"
Zhuo Junyan said: "Speak clearly! Is this related to the residual ability of Du Xuanling's heart-confused ring in her body?"
Du Zhishui said harshly: "You know everything, what else can you say?"
Is that really the case?
Zhuo Junyan said: "Although the heart-confused ring was broken, some of the treasure's properties entered her body. In a sense, she became a stranger?"
Du Zhishui shouted: "But she didn't do it again! She knew she was wrong and she had already repented. But Xu Mingfeng was unwilling to let her go! He pretended to treat my sister, but in fact he just wanted to use her as a medicine guide!"
"Whose method did you use?"
"You still care about this now?" Du Zhishui said angrily.
Zhuo Junyan said seriously: "This is the key to saving your sister. Doesn't Xu Mingfeng use the secret method of Yunshui Sect?"
Du Zhishui answered seriously: "No, it is the secret method of the Soul-Calling Sect. He also learned it, but he was not good at it and could not succeed, so he was discovered by me."
Zhuo Junyan smiled: "After you found out, did you report it to the outside world?"
Du Zhishui shook his head: "I didn't. I pretended not to know and found out the name Chen Qingsong from Xu Mingfeng. I checked him and found out that Miss Shen knew him, so I came to find Shen Shengnan and pursued all the way until I got here. .”
Isn't it the Qingfeng Sect informed by Du Zhishui?
Then how did the Qingfeng Sect know about Du Xuanling's existence?
Zhuo Junyan was stunned.
While he was thinking, Qingsong Hall suddenly exploded.
The roof shattered, and four figures rushed out, but they were four masked men in matching hats.
The soldiers below opened fire at the same time, and a stream of bullets pierced the sky. The four people twisted in the air, avoiding the bullets and splitting into four directions.
Just as Shen Shengnan was about to lead his men in pursuit, Zhuo Junyan shouted: "Don't chase me, leave it to the people outside!"
Shen Shengnan was startled, but still shouted: "Stop, no pursuit, everyone guard their positions!"
After this period of training, the members of the escort team have been able to follow orders and prohibitions, quickly return to their positions after hearing orders, and aim their guns at Qingsongtang again.
Zhuo Junyan pointed at Du Zhishui: "For the sake of your sister, stay here."
Then he strode to the vicinity of Qingsongtang and raised his voice: "This little trick of grafting new ideas onto something is useless to me. Come out, I want to talk to you."
Zhuo Junyan said with a smile: "Cherish the opportunity, I rarely send out invitations to negotiate."
