When walking out of the side hall, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think of Fan Lan's reminder just now.
Because this time, most of the forces of Xuanfu have gone to the north to encircle and suppress the plague gods, including some of the manpower sent by the Protectorate to support. Therefore, the forces in Ruiguang City appear to be relatively weak, so he must be careful.
What we need to be especially wary of is the Shenwei Army. There is no guarantee that they will not use some sinister means at this time.
At this time, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the affairs hall.
According to Fan Lan's words, in order to ensure victory, when this battle is launched, all available forces will be invested, so it is very likely that even Xiang Chun will be present in person.
If this is the case, the Xuan Palace will indeed be extremely empty.
However, as long as Xuanshou is still there, there shouldn't be any big problems. It's just inevitable that some small places will be difficult to consider.
But for Xuanfu, there must be a choice here.
The purpose of exterminating the plague gods is to ensure the safety of the granaries on the northern plains, and everything else can only be put in the back row.
A few days passed by in a flash, and soon the tenth day of September arrived. This day was the propaganda day of the Si Li Yamen Office. Guo Shang took a carriage and followed Wang Zhi of the Si Li Yamen Office to Wenqi Square.
Because there had been two accidents in succession before, some people suggested that the lecture venue be moved to the city and heavy troops be sent to protect it.
But some people clearly expressed their opposition.
If the location were changed, wouldn't it mean that the Protectorate was unable to cope with it?
And when had the Protectorate been afraid of the threat of these supernatural gods?
But so to speak, in order to ensure safety, this time they were followed by a hundred government guards, and twenty secretaries to clear the way. Not only that, there was also a young Xuan Xiu beside Wang Changzhang who was responsible for protecting them.
Before Guo Shang came out, Jiang Dingyi proposed to send Qin Wu beside him to protect the convoy, but he refused.
The Si Li Yamen Office is not a powerful yamen now, and there is no need for assassins to assassinate them.
Moreover, there is a mysterious cultivator beside them on this trip. If they call another swordsman to protect them, it will appear that they do not trust the other party.
After the convoy came down from the platform, there were no accidents along the way. It left the city smoothly and stopped a short distance from the square.
The government security team entered first and checked around.
Everything was fine at first, but after a while, there was a sudden noise in the distance, and then there were constant sounds of clashing weapons and roaring firecrackers.
Xuan Xiaowu, the servant beside Guo Shang, seemed to have seen something, and his expression changed drastically. He stopped Guo Shang who was about to get off the carriage, and sent him to the carriage, saying: "Master Yamen, go back."
But at this moment, a strange force came. The two of them felt their bodies become heavier, their legs became like lead, and they could not move at all. The sound of the firecrackers also suddenly became sparse.
As soon as Xuan Xiaowu saw this situation, he knew he couldn't leave. He gritted his teeth, pushed Guo Shang back hard, and said: "Jun Yamen, stay here and don't make any sound."
He turned around, leaned his back against the car, and took out a bottle of red liquid medicine from his pocket. He wanted to pour out one or two drops and take it, but after thinking about it, he simply poured it all into his mouth and swallowed it hard.
The liquid fell down his throat, and he felt a burning hot air rising in his chest. It spread to all his limbs and bones in an instant. His mind was dizzy. He didn't know how long it had been. With a burst of deep breaths, he suddenly
I woke up for a while, and all my strength returned at the same time.
He stood up, but then he discovered that during the time when he lost consciousness, the battle ahead had ended. Everywhere he looked, there were broken weapons and bloody corpses.
Wang Zheng's carriage in front of him had overturned on its side, and blood was flowing out of it drop by drop, while a burly figure with bulging muscles casually tore an elite guard who was still able to move into two pieces.
When his eyes fell on the person's face, a group of shadows suddenly appeared in his field of vision. He shook his head and looked again, only to find that it was still the same.
He turned his head and looked aside. The young monk responsible for protecting the king was still standing on the stiff horse. He didn't know whether he was frightened or suppressed by the opponent's power.
He gritted his teeth and realized that now he couldn't count on others and could only do it himself.
The burly figure had already thrown away the corpse in his hands and walked step by step towards the place where Guo Shang's carriage stopped.
Xuan Xiaowu pulled out a short three-edged thorn from his waist, kicked off the ground, and rushed towards the burly figure. Under the influence of the medicine, his speed exceeded the limit of ordinary people. He swooped in front of him and stretched out his arms.
, just poke it in his face.
The burly figure did not move, but when the thorn came up, it felt like it had hit a layer of hard metal, and it made a harsh friction sound.
Xuan Xiaowu was startled. He wanted to change his move, but then the figure stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist. With just a slight squeeze, the flesh and bones were forcefully squeezed to pieces by the huge force.
Xuan Xiaowu's face was twisted, but he didn't make any sound. Instead, he stared at the other person and took a deep breath. At this moment, the temperature of his whole body increased sharply, and his flesh and blood became extremely hot, and his whole body expanded outwards.
,then……
boom!
A huge explosion erupted in the square.
"Xiao Wu!"
Guo Shang lay on his side in the carriage and called out helplessly. Although his body was suppressed by a force, his consciousness was very clear and he could only watch this scene.
The blood mist after the explosion slowly dissipated, and a small crater appeared on the ground, but the burly figure was still standing there intact.
The man shook his head, then walked towards Guo Shang's carriage, stopped in front of him, and said in a rich voice: "A Tianxia person?"
Guo Shang's eyes only kept shaking figures, but when he heard these words, he still stood up with difficulty, opened his eyes wide, and responded in a firm voice: "Tianxia people!"
The burly figure looked at him, raised his fist, and then... dropped it!
boom!
The entire carriage compartment exploded into pieces.
After there was no sound near the square, the Sikou outside dared to come in slowly. However, when they arrived at the end of the field, the scene in front of them made them all unable to help vomiting. One Sikou looked pale and kept mumbling: "Something big has happened."
, something big happened."
Zhang Yu only learned about the attack on Guo Shang's convoy near noon. After hearing the news, he immediately changed his clothes, came out of his residence, and rushed to the place where the incident occurred.
When he reached the boundary of the land, the blood stains on the ground had not been completely cleaned up, and twisted corpses were covered with cloth and placed on one side of the square.
Jiang Dingyi had already arrived here first, and Qin Wu and others followed him, as well as several Shenwei troops under the Guidu Hall.
When Qin Wu saw Zhang Yu arriving, he walked over, cupped his hands with him, and sighed: "The people from the Duhu Mansion checked and said it was a strange god who did it. There were more than a hundred guards, as well as accompanying officials and servants.
They are all dead, I have seen it, Guo Yajun’s body is very mutilated, it is difficult to put it together, only you people from Xuanfu are still alive."
Zhang Yudao: "Where are the people?"
Qin Wu pointed to a certain place and said: "There."
Zhang Yu turned his head and looked to the side, and saw a young Xuan Xiu sitting there in a state of despair. He had lost all energy and energy, curled up into a ball, and buried himself in his collar.
But he could detect that the aura on his body was not far different from that of ordinary people, and he obviously didn't have much fighting power.
It was obvious that the visitor deliberately left the people in Xuanfu alive this time without killing them.
He thought for a moment and then walked towards Jiang Dingyi. There was a child beside him at the moment. His eyes were red and swollen from crying. He was tugging on Jiang Dingyi's sleeves. However, when he saw him coming, he immediately wiped away his tears and respectfully
He bowed to him respectfully and said, "Sir."
Jiang Dingyi sighed: "This child is very stubborn. If we don't let him come, he insists on coming."
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand, stroked the child's head, and said slowly: "Go back early, don't make your mother worry, the adults will handle the outside matters."
"Yes, sir." The child wiped his eyes with his sleeves, tried to raise his head, and said to Jiang Dingyi with red eyes: "Uncle Jiang, I'm going back, I'm going to cause you trouble."
Jiang Dingyi sighed slightly again and said, "Uncle, I will send you back right now."
Zhang Yu watched the child being sent away by Qin Wu, and then he withdrew his gaze, transferred the seals involving various senses, and looked at the traces left around him. Suddenly, he looked in one direction as if he had realized something.
He moved forward and came to a small pit to stand, staring at the charred flesh and blood inside.
The breath inside gave off a familiar burning sensation, which should have been left by Xuan Xiaowu beside Guo Shang. Judging from this situation, he must have taken some secret medicine and detonated his own flesh and blood here.
When he raised his head, under the convergence of the three seals of eyes, nose, and mind, he could observe that a faint trace of blood and potion was extending outwards, all the way to the distance.
It's just that this trace is erratic and is gradually disappearing with the increase of people coming and going and the passage of time.
There is no doubt that this is the direction that the alien god left.
If I catch up now, I might still be able to catch up.
But in Xuanfu now, I am afraid there is no suitable person to do this.
So……
He tightened the Xia Jian in his hand, turned around, walked up to the young Xuan Xiu, and whispered something. After the latter heard it, he was shocked and raised his head suddenly.
Zhang Yu didn't say anything more. He held the brim of the hat with both hands, put on the hat, and hid his face in the shadow. Then he quickly walked to a horse, turned over on the saddle, and with the sound of horse hooves, it was already
Running towards the place where the blood stains were far away.
