When Liao Yungui, Ji Miao and his party came to the stronghold of Wuwang City in Nanping Mountain, they saw a large number of powerful troops coming and going on patrol, the strength of which was several times that of usual times.

Although the Evilman's Valley is currently besieging the city, the Haoqi League has not yet reached the end of the mountain, why is it in such a state of full force?

"Daoist Liao, General Ji." Bai Ying, who was dispatching personnel, came up to meet her, and said in a hoarse voice, "You guys came just in time, please come inside, the leader is here."

After Luo Dao narrowly escaped death, although Bai Ying was not in danger of her life, her voice became hoarse, and she felt a burning pain when she talked too much.But in any case, being able to hold a gun alive is already hard luck.So when she returned to Wuwang City, she devoted herself to the defensive work in silence. Whether it was Liao Yungui's special trip to Luodao to give Ye Youqi the sword, or his behavior of sparing Yang Yi's life, Baiying never commented on it, let alone did not comment on it. Mention half a word to others.

"At this time, why would the leader come to the front line?" Ji Miao asked, "Shen Yun is stationed in Taotang Ridge. If the other party has some ghostly means to sneak into Wuwang City, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

"The leader's thoughts, Bai Ying really doesn't know." Bai Ying smiled bitterly, then lowered her voice and said to Liao Yungui, "The leader's wife is also here, she has been recuperating behind closed doors for many years, I don't know why all of a sudden..."

Just as they were talking, a little maid hurried past, saw Bai Ying and the others, stopped, saluted, and quickly and quietly ran away with her skirts in hand.

"That's the servant girl next to the leader's wife, who is responsible for helping her get meals on weekdays," Bai Ying explained, "It's actually a bit strange. In the past, it was just that the lady didn't go out. This time, the person who came out and served by the lady's side, They're all dumb...it can't be a coincidence, can it?"

The few people present were silent for a while, and there are generally only two explanations for such a strange situation: either the leader's wife has some amazing secrets, and she is afraid that people will reveal it; serve.

But no matter what it is, it's hard not to care.

"In special times, General Bai should be more careful." After a long time, Liao Yungui sighed, "General Ji, since the leader is here, let's go together."

Ji Miao nodded sideways: "Please, Daoist."

After not seeing Qi Yun for a while, Liao Yungui always felt that Qi Yun was in a worse condition.

Maybe it's the recent failures and exhaustion, or maybe it's the relapse of the heart disease, which can't be suppressed anymore. In short, the man in the high seat looks much older than before, with a gloomy aura in his eyes.

"Daoist Liao, General Ji." Qi Yun tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair and said, "The army of the Evil Man Valley has come to Nanping Mountain. I don't know when they will attack the gate of King Wu. Before that, Qi has to do something first." Prepare."

"Leader, please order." Seeing that Liao Yungui just nodded but did not say anything, Ji Miao could only respond, "The Ji family has tens of thousands of cavalry, and they swear allegiance to the leader."

"General Ji is heroic and courageous, as expected, the tiger father has no dogs." Qi Yun smiled and continued, "Wuwang City is guarding the natural danger of the Yangtze River. I have sent people to lay a heavy ambush on the bank of the river. If Shen Yun dares to cross the river, I will call He comes and goes."

"The frontier defense by the river is important, and I hope General Ji will lead people to guard it strictly, and don't let the vicious dogs sneak in."

"Yes." Ji Miao agreed straightforwardly, and was about to say something else when a guard suddenly ran into the door and reported on his knees: "Master, there are two disciples from Cangjian Villa and Wanhua Valley who want to leave Nanping Mountain , they were stopped at the gate of King Wu's city, they had a conflict with General Bai, and I hope the leader will show me!"

"Put it on the spot and kill it." Qi Yun waved his hand lightly, "In the future, there is no need to report similar matters, just do it directly, go."

"Leader, the timing is sensitive right now, and indiscriminate killing is not appropriate." Liao Yungui suddenly said, "There are many disciples in the Jianghu sect who are in the alliance, and it is unavoidable to make people feel chilling."

"These famous and decent families in the world were very active when they joined forces with me to encircle and suppress Shen Yun." Qi Yun sneered, "Now that Shen Yun is forced to come to the door, they have all become shrinking turtles instead. It's as if what happened back then has nothing to do with them."

"Qi's hands are indeed full of blood and debts, but among them, which one dares to claim to be innocent!?"

"Hehe... the timing is sensitive? Daoist Liao might as well teach Qi at this moment, what's the use of that cheap benevolence?"

"They were under the protection of our Haoqi League back then, and now they should pay the price for running away!" Qi Yun casually dropped the teacup on a small table, "It's useless to talk, kill!"

The porcelain cup shattered on the ground, leaving a small water mark.

Liao Yungui was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The leader really wants to quarrel with all the sects on this cusp?"

"Why, Daoist chief rabbit is sad for dead fox?" Qi Yun said coldly, "Is it the descendant of Daoist Liao who loves Shen Yun's remnants and wants to leave Haoqi?"

Ji Miao was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Daoist Liao has been devoted to Haoqi for many years, and I still hope that the leader will see clearly."

"Just joking, why take it seriously." Qi Yun laughed, "I really can't see that Daoist Liao has more weight in the heart of the young generation than Qi, the leader of the alliance."

Ji Miao froze and didn't dare to say anything.

There is a knife hidden in this remark, no matter how you answer it, it will make people feel resentful.Qi Yun has been in the top position for a long time, even if he is not in good health, he still has coercion, even if he is full of smiles, the words he says are extremely uncomfortable.

Liao Yungui had no expression on his face, he just took a step back and bowed his body slightly: "Liao has talked too much."

He is giving in.

Ji Miao watched from the side, and couldn't restrain a thought in his heart—if... If he was the leader of Haoqi, he would not doubt Zhongliang casually, would not maliciously speculate on people's hearts, and would not stop killing with killing , to control evil with evil.

Isn't the purpose of this Hengshan alliance to gather the righteousness of the world to support justice in the world?

How did you get to... the situation where you can only talk about three points now?

In Ye Youqi's impression, Niang was an extremely gentle and powerful woman.

She took good care of him, protected him, and repelled malicious pursuers time and time again... In those days when their orphans and widows were hiding, the back of their mother holding an epee was once a young child who had nothing in his heart. Impossible gods.

It's just that the god will roll into the dust one day and disappear in his world.

Over the years, Ye Youqi has always felt that his mother should not be in this world anymore, so when he heard Shen Yun's furious voice, he was a little dazed - is it possible that his mother is still alive?

"It's no wonder I haven't been able to find Fengjun's bones all these years..." Shen Yun grabbed the jade hairpin, the corners of his eyes turned red with anger, and the veins on his forehead burst out, "Okay, Qi Yun... okay... okay ..."

"..." Ye Youqi picked up the bundle of hair left in the box, the long black hair was very shiny, lying smoothly in the palm of his hand, like an unreal and illusory dream.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "This...these are all mother's things?"

"Feng Jun's favorite hairpin, she has been wearing this ever since I met her." Shen Yun said angrily, "The best warm jade in the Western Regions is inlaid with century-old coral on the bottom of the South China Sea. No matter how cold the day is, this jade is warm. If it is hot, if it is put into a bowl of cold water, it only takes half a stick of incense to warm the water."

"The coral was found by Ah Ci in the South China Sea when he traveled with the people in the villa when he was a teenager... and he found the most famous craftsman in the south of the Yangtze River, carved it into shape, and embedded it on the jade hairpin."

"Qi Yun, that bastard, he dared...he dared!" Shen Yun suddenly stood up, "Come on! Pass my order! Prepare the boats and soldiers! The whole army organizes the supplies! Before the sun rises tomorrow, I will cross the river !!"

"Valley Master!" A cavalry beside Shen Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Crossing the river so rashly, in case there is a fraud..."

"You don't understand." Shen Yun clenched the hairpin in his hand, and his voice sounded like the mournful cry of a dying animal, "I've been looking for these years... I can't give up any chance... If I let Feng Jun Regardless, Ah Ci will definitely hate me..."

"Whether there is fraud or not, you will find out once you get in." Ye Youqi seemed much calmer than Shen Yun at the moment. The young man in light yellow brocade clothes with a golden crown and high collar was clearly still the son of a family when he first entered the valley, every move he made, every word and deed , but vaguely have the demeanor of a leader.

The tempering of the years has turned some people into gold and jade, while others have turned into sand and stone.

"I am an elite soldier and good general in the wicked valley. I have everything ready. When will I be afraid of going to the dragon's pond and the tiger's lair?" Ye Youqi took the hairpin from Shen Yun's hand, put it back into the box together with the hair, and ordered, "Let's gather at the shore at Yinshi tomorrow morning." .”

"Yes!"

In the early morning of autumn, the sky turned a little white, and the whole Nanping Mountain was quiet.The river is calm and waveless, and the cold moon is reflected like jade, like a peaceful and beautiful landscape painting.

Shen Yun patted the falcon's head on the wristband, watched it take off and disappear into the distance.

The neat black-armored army lined up on the shore and boarded the ship in an orderly manner. In the silence, there were only the sounds of walking and the beeping of torches.

Ye Youqi wore a brocade cloak, followed by a pitch-black leopard, went to the riverside to support the side of the boat, and looked up at the starry sky in the distance—the indigo blue was pure and beautiful, as if it had never, never been seen in this world. No suffering will start.

"What is that?" The sentinel on the side shouted in a low voice, "Master Gu, Master Shaogu, there seems to be a boat approaching on the river!"

Everyone was shocked and looked towards the river.In the thin water mist, there is indeed a shadowy big ship approaching slowly. There is no light on the ship, and it walks alone in the dark. From a distance, it looks like a ghost ship from the underworld.

Ye Youqi didn't know why, but his eyelids suddenly jumped violently.

"Then..." Shen Yun took a step forward, and for some reason, even his voice seemed to tremble, "Give me a lighting flare...Hurry up!!"

As if in response to his words, dozens of feathered arrows wrapped in flames suddenly pierced the sky and shot towards the big ship in the darkness!
