Zi He wiped his sweat and was about to go into the library to shade himself from the sun, but when he stood at the door, he saw a familiar figure.
"People from Wu Ge?" Zi He frowned and was about to catch up.
Yun Wusheng had already got into the carriage and left quickly as if something was urgent.
Zihe directly grabbed the soldier who was closest to him.
"What's the matter, kid?" the music guard just asked, when Zi He took out the token from his waist.
"Zi, Master Zihe?!"
"Shh!" Zi He pressed his mouth.
Then he handed the token in his hand to the other party and said.
"Take my token and quickly return to the company, notify the personnel, quickly seal the city gate, and don't let anyone walk out of Leye City!"
Wenqi Bookstore, second floor.
"Sir, isn't our element crystal inventory quite abundant? Why didn't you just say it wasn't enough?"
Liu Wen touched the prosthesis on his hand and said with a slight smile in his tone.
"I don't want to give it."
Suddenly someone opened the door and said breathlessly.
"Liu, Mr. Liu Wen! The landlord wants to see you!"
Liu Wen suddenly shed a few drops of sweat and was a little panicked. He couldn't figure out what the original poster discovered about him.
Was it discovered that he had embezzled money from public accounts, or was he discovered that he deliberately reduced his help to Han Ning, or was he discovered that he secretly introduced someone to Qiu Guyun.
But before he could get up, another person hurried in and said breathlessly.
"Master Zihe is here! He wants to see you and the host!"
Hearing this, Liu Wen's expression became even more panicked. If the library hadn't been built too high, with the second floor being more than ten meters tall, he would have wanted to jump out.
Zi He was the manager of the Shou Le Division. Liu Wen could not imagine what else would happen to Zi He after he found him, besides the private soldiers being discovered.
Raising troops privately is no different from rebellion. Rebellion is punishable by beheading. Liu Wen forced himself to calm down.
"Then, where is the poster? Where is the poster now?" Liu Wen asked hurriedly.
"Ah?! The host is downstairs, dealing with Zi He."
Hearing this, Liu Wen felt a little complicated. The good thing is that with the poster here, things should be able to be restored.
The bad thing is that since the poster is in the library, he must be monitored, in case he doesn't know everything that happened just now.
Liu Wen just couldn't understand why the poster could always eavesdrop on him when he was doing bad things.

In the Butterfly Fire Hall, Ji Xunsheng placed pieces of talisman paper in front of him. Ji Xunsheng took out two red cubes and put them into the iron bowl.
Pour hot water into it and stir it slightly with chopsticks. The red cubes quickly melt and merge into the water.
The red water in the iron bowl gave off a fishy smell. Ji Xunsheng picked up the brush, dipped it in the bowl, and began to write the curse on the talisman paper.
With each stroke, the surrounding air is slightly distorted. This is the effect of the fairy power in the air being absorbed by the talisman paper.
"You spend so many talismans in one breath. Are you trying to catch some big monster, or did Han Ning ask you to do something again?"
Along the wall, a clear female voice came.
Ji Xunsheng was stunned and quickly reacted.
"Hall Master?"
"What's wrong? You still say you can't speak anymore."
"No, this time we have to deal with a tree demon, which is a bit difficult to deal with."
"What are the main difficulties?"
"The main difficulty is that the tree demon has many parasites. Those parasites have some climate and can be treated as independent demons. From this point of view, the tree demon is probably half-footed on the road to becoming an immortal.
.”
Ji Nianzhen did not continue to speak, but looked at the green seed in his hand. At this time, the green seed had turned into an emerald green crystal.
Two white lights flashed in the crystal. Ji Nianzhen lowered his body and put the crystal next to his ear.
Said softly.
"Vashak, do you know something?"
Ji Xunsheng continued after hearing no reply for a long time.
"They are all monsters with half a foot in the world of immortality. How can they still do such evil deeds? I really don't understand."
In the next room, Ji Nianzhen heard the message from the crystal.
[You know, I can't live without Cui Juepo. I'm just an obsession, so I don't know much.]
[I met the tree demon in Cui Juepo and absorbed part of his memory, but not much. I only knew that his name was Ye Banfan.]
[The tree demon seems a little irrational, but judging from the aura of his body, he is indeed very advanced in cultivation. He is only one catastrophe away from becoming an immortal.]
[But I don’t know why, his demon power is very mixed, like, like...]
Ji Nianzhen urged.
"What exactly is it like?"
[Just like you, just like you are full of immortal power, I am afraid that if he has cultivated the same thing as you, the tree demon may have taken another immortal path.]
[I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I'm afraid ordinary immortals are a bit difficult to kill. I don't think you mortals can beat it.]
[But if there is a way to drag it to Cui Juepo, my remnant soul will definitely want to absorb it, and then those mortals may have a chance.]
After listening, Ji Nianzhen thought for a while and said.
"Xunsheng, take the two talismans you drew and come to my room."
Ji Xunsheng just stood up and asked again.
"Is it really convenient? Didn't you and Han Ning not let me in before? Didn't you let me see you?"
"It's okay, come in, I'm just suffering from a stubborn illness, and I'm not naked."
Ji Xunsheng opened the door, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a strange fragrance of flowers.
Before, Ji Xunsheng could smell a fishy smell just at the door. Ji Xunsheng always thought that Ji Nian had a sore, so he was not allowed to see her.
But after seeing him later, Ji Xunsheng also dispelled his doubts, but he still didn't understand what kind of disease his hall master was suffering from?
As soon as he opened the door, apart from the strange fragrance of flowers filling the air, the thing that caught Ji Xunsheng's attention the most was Ji Nianzhen.
"Master...you look better now."
Ji Xunsheng felt that Ji Nianzhen's temperament had changed somewhat, and his charm had increased a lot.
"Xunsheng, give me the talisman."
Ji Xunsheng handed the two drawn fire talismans to Ji Ninzhen.
After Ji Nianzhen took the talisman, he stroked the talisman paper with his fingers, and the black fairy order around his waist flashed.
But what appeared on the tips of Ji Nianzhen's fingers were streaks of green light.
Looking at it, Ji Xunsheng was filled with doubts, but it was difficult to ask.
The curse seal painted on the talisman was distorted after coming into contact with the green light, and it was twisted out of shape.
It's like ghost writing, extremely ugly and incomprehensible.
The talisman paper also changed color, turning into a faint fluorescent green.
Ji Nianzhen handed the two completely transformed talismans to Ji Xunsheng, and then gave instructions.
"Xunsheng, remember, of these two talismans, keep one talisman for you to use when you are in danger, and use the other talisman on you when you see the tree demon's true form. Do you understand?"
Ji Xunsheng nodded, and just as he was about to ask about something else, Ji Ninzhen issued an expulsion order.
"Okay, Xun Sheng, you can go out, I'm feeling a little unwell..."
After hearing this, Ji Xunsheng couldn't say anything more, so he had to take the talisman and leave.
…………
At the city gate, long queues of carriages were blocked, and the merchants on the carriages were shouting.
"Why don't you close the city gate properly! I have to rush to transport the goods!"
"Yes, it's broad daylight and no one died and nothing was lost, so why should the city gate be closed?"
In one of the carriages, Yun Wusheng looked out and asked the people around him.
"What's going on? Why are all the cars blocked?"
Liu Mushui was still closing his eyes to rest his mind. When he heard Yun Wusheng's words, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Don't be anxious, I'll get out of the car and take a look."
Liu Mushui opened the car door and went out to check the situation. A few minutes later, Liu Mushui came back and said.
"The gate out of the city is closed, and the Shou Le Army does not allow anyone to leave Leye City."
"Why aren't you allowed to leave the city? Do you know what happened?"
Liu Mushui shook his head and said.
"I don't know. Han Ning hasn't taken any action in recent times. Logically speaking, it should be peaceful. I don't know why the city gate was closed."
"But there is still good news. Han Ning and Master Liu Shantian acted quickly and left the city long ago, so they were not affected."
"..." Yun Wusheng took a breath.
"Don't worry about them. How can we get out of the city? I have time and I'm in a hurry!"
Liu Mushui squinted his eyes and frowned a little.
"Don't worry, 70% of the Chamber of Commerce carriages crowded here belong to the Qianyang Chamber of Commerce, and they are all our own people."
"I'll ask them to find a way to cause chaos, and then I'll take you to take advantage of the chaos and leave."
…………
At the gate of the city, the garrison began to search the carriage of the Chamber of Commerce, and when they found a carriage.
As soon as the seat was opened, the long sword weapon hidden under the seat was exposed.
"Isn't this the magic weapon that Tongyesi had stolen before?"
"Why is he here! Someone come quickly and catch him!"
The fat man sitting inside suddenly panicked, and his forehead kept dripping.
"No, no, I'm not a soldier, soldier, listen, listen, listen to me."
Before the fat man could finish speaking, he was pulled out of the carriage and fell heavily to the ground.
"If you have anything to say, you can wait until you are in jail to say it!"
The music guard took out the rope from behind and was about to tie up the fat man.
The fat man suddenly took out a small iron ball from his cuff and threw it hard at the military guards.
The iron ball suddenly exploded, releasing thick red smoke and disturbing the sight of the garrison.
"Come on, come on! There's an attack here!"
"Send some men quickly, don't let this man escape! The prisoner is a fat man! He has short black hair and wears glasses!"
Most of the music guards guarding the city gate were attracted by the smoke and rushed over to arrest the fat man.
"What's going on! Why did they suddenly start fighting?"
"Hey guys, this fog is so thick, I can't see anything!"
The merchants in the other carriages all said this, not knowing what was going on.
While everyone was watching the excitement, Liu Mushui and Yun Wusheng bent over and walked towards the city gate.
