Genius Demon Empress

"What?" Yue Jinghua was taken aback, "Where did you get the news? But really? Who are the people who died?"

If it is said that Yue Jinghua has really established a relationship with anyone on this strange continent, then apart from the few people in the Jingxinyuan, it is the few mercenaries of the Backfire Mercenary Group.

Especially Ni Qianjun and Feng Buhui, who have experienced life and death with her, she regards them as true friends.

How many mercenaries of the Backfire Mercenary Group died? Do they also...

The mercenaries were always on the verge of blood and death, but Backfire, one of the famous mercenary regiments in the mainland, killed several mercenaries under the premise of no major missions. This is undoubtedly a major event.

"Are you worried about that red-haired boy?" Seeing Yue Jinghua's slightly changed face because of his emotion, Xieyu was rather apprehensive, and he forced a few words through his teeth, "Don't worry, that boy is not dead, Those who died were several old mercenaries from Backfire. Those mercenaries were completing two different tasks. One of them was to deliver the crystals obtained from Dan Modron to the client. The other It is said that they handed over the devil crystal issued as a pension to the family members of the mercenaries who died in the mission. The reason why the Assassin League paid attention to this matter is because their death method is very special. One move is fatal, and the wounds are all from..."

Xieyu used her finger to touch the throat and slid down to the navel, "Those mercenaries with a cultivation base of Dixuan were killed almost without any power to fight back. The devil crystal they carried was also It's all gone."

The devil crystal, it was the devil crystal she sent out that killed them.

There was a sore throat, Yue Jinghua paused, "Do you think this kind of crystal is really possessed by demons and will bring bad luck to people?"

"I don't believe it, but I can be sure that this kind of crystal represents some kind of danger. If it is not necessary, don't let anyone know that you have this kind of crystal. Everyone is innocent and guilty. , is the only iron rule," Xieyu accepted the crystal, and Ata looked at Yue Jinghua meaningfully, then turned and left.

Yue Jinghua fell into deep thought.

What Xieyu said just now reminded her that the value of the devil crystal will play different roles in the hands of different people. But since someone is willing to look for this crystal at the cost of a blue diamond mission, it has undoubtedly proved the preciousness of this crystal.

But she hastily sent the crystal out.

Pill Demon had said back then that the crystal, whose origin was unknown, was given to him by a stranger.

After a while, she took up a pen and wrote a letter, and then sent Hong Ling to an unknown village in the Long Warring States, Fenglinwan Township.

Ni Qianjun has a good cultivation base, and with the backing of Ni Huo's mercenary group, it shouldn't be so easy to get into trouble. But Feng Buhui, who left the Backfire Mercenary Group, obviously did not have this condition.

Although his crystal had already been handed over to the mercenary group as a substitute for that mission, Yue Jinghua didn't know whether he would also be killed because of it.

Hope, Feng Buhui will be fine, Yue Jinghua secretly thought in his heart.

It's a pity that things in the world can't be all people wish. Not long after Yue Jinghua sent the letter, the breath of death was approaching Fenglinwan Town step by step.

Fenglinwan is an ordinary town on the border of the Dragon War Empire. Around it, there is a kind of tree called Fenglinwan. The leaves of this kind of tree are like maple leaves, but in autumn, they will not turn red like maple leaves. It will not turn red until around winter. It turns red, so this kind of tree is called maple late tree.

Like many small towns in the Dragon Warring States, the small town is small, with only more than two hundred households in the town.

Because it is close to several mountains and relies on mountains to eat mountains, most of the residents in the town make a living by logging and hunting.

Feng Buhui's hometown is located on the outskirts of the town. Ever since he left the Backfire Mercenary Group and bid farewell to Yue Jinghua, he has been living in the town.

Feng does not regret not being a mercenary, the happiest thing is his mother and younger brother.

He was the eldest son in the family, and his father died when he was a teenager. In order to subsidize the family, and to appease the perennial passion in his chest, Feng Buhui joined the Backfire Mercenary Group with an old mercenary who happened to pass by the town at the age of thirteen.

Eight years of mercenary career made him grow from a young boy to a good man who stands upright.

Even though he lost his right arm after going through the painful experience of the Pill Demon Tomb, Feng Buhui didn't go back to the town after returning to the town. He gave all the gold coins he got from resigning to his mother, and bought a blacksmith shop left by his father.

His right hand is broken, but his left hand can still be used. In just one month, Feng Buhui learned how to carry a hammer with his left hand, and forged some hoes, pear tools, and hunter's bows and arrows for the villagers. .

Whenever Orion came to pick up his bow and arrows, Feng Buhui would be stunned for a while, and then, when he returned home, he would sit by his bed, take out the crossbow that Yue Jinghua improved for him, and rub it in his hand. For a while.

On this day, as usual, he was driving a plow for spring plowing.

Old Li, the neighbor who came to the town as a policeman, came over, "I don't regret it, I have a letter from you."

In a small town like Fenglinwan, there is no post station, and all letters are delivered to the yamen in the city.

What made Feng Buhui curious was who wrote him the letter.

After he left the Backfire Mercenary Group, he didn't tell anyone where he went, only Yue Jinghua and Backfire were excluded.

After reading the letter, Feng Buhui's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition enveloped him.

He immediately stopped what he was doing, informed Old Li, and walked home.

After walking a few steps, he saw his little brother bouncing over, and when he saw him, he showed a smiling face: "Brother Bugui, there are guests at home, and a big brother with red hair came to see you gone."

Red hair? Could it be that Ni Qianjun is back? Feng Buhui felt a little more at ease in his heart, and he hurried home.

After entering the small courtyard of his own house, he saw a tall and burly figure standing in the courtyard of his own house, with red hair fluttering like flames.

The man turned around, Feng Buhui was taken aback, "Leader!"

"I don't regret it, why didn't even I, the head of the regiment, recognize me once I left Backfire? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I happened to pass by Fenglin Wan Town. I heard that you are from this town, so I came to see you." Look. The environment here is good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is considered a good place," the person who came was the head of the Backfire mercenary group, Backfire.

While Ni Huo was talking, he took the tea from Feng Buhui's mother.

As soon as he heard that the head of the famous mainland mercenary group had come to the town in person, all the adults and children in the town surrounded him.

Feng Buhui's home was immediately surrounded.

Feng Buhui didn't expect that the head of the group would come to the door in person, remembering the letter Yue Jinghua brought, Feng Buhui had already guessed the purpose of the head.

"Head, are you here because of the Devil Crystal?" Feng Buhui understood Ni Huo, he would never come to the door in person for a useless old subordinate, not to mention that he was on the Huolongfan, for the sake of Master Yue. over his meaning.

"Hehe, I came here for the crystal. To tell you the truth, a few days ago, several of our brothers had accidents, all of which were related to the crystal. I heard from Qianjun that you got those crystals from others. Here, tell me, who gave you these crystals?" Ni Huo laughed loudly, then glanced at the people inside and outside the room, and frowned slightly.

There was a thud in Feng Buhui's heart.

He kept silent, stood up, walked into the house, took out an iron box, and said in a low voice: "Commander, those crystals were indeed sent out by me. As for who gave it to me," he walked out of the house After looking at it, it seemed like a difficult decision had been made, "There are too many people here, so it's not convenient to talk about it, let's go outside and talk about it."

Ni Huo didn't take it seriously, stood up too, and followed Feng Buhui out of the house.

Before leaving, Feng Buhui's little brother shouted a few times behind him, "Brother Buhui, Auntie told you to come back early, it's time for dinner, tonight we have your favorite salted chicken."

"Hey," Feng Buhui didn't turn his head, he responded, and walked forward with Ni Huo.

The two walked all the way, neither of them spoke again until they passed through the maple forest outside the town.

Only then did Chi Huo call out to stop Feng Buhui, "Buhui, if we go any further, we will go to the mountains, and there is no one around here. You should tell me, where did you get your devil crystal?"

"Okay, I'll tell you now," Feng Buhui's voice seemed a bit obscure, he turned around abruptly, the crossbow in his hand had been loaded at some point, and aimed at Backfire.

His left hand, which hadn't used the crossbow for a long time, was still trembling slightly. But soon, he calmed down. In the woods, a gust of evening wind blew by. Feng Bugui used the crossbow with his left hand. The crossbow improved by Yue Jinghua was very convenient.

Seeing Feng Buhui suddenly turned against him, Niu Huo didn't seem too surprised, he smiled and said, "Buhui, what are you doing?"

"Don't pretend, you're not the head of the regiment," Feng Buhui stepped on his feet and began to move, looking for the best shooting point, "I've never told the head of the regiment about my hometown. It's impossible for Qianjun to tell you , The devil crystal was given to him by me."

In fact, in order to protect Yue Jinghua, before Ni Qianjun went out for the trial, Qian Ding Wan told Feng Buhui to unify his caliber with the outside world, and even in front of the leader, he had to insist that the crystal was Ni Qianjun Got it back.

Moreover, although the regiment leader he knew was a bit strict, he would never smile and tell the news of the death of other mercenaries in the regiment.

"Hehe, it seems that the Backfire Mercenary Group is quite famous. Among these mercenaries, you are the one who saw through my identity the fastest. The others, even before they died, thought they were killed by their companions. Yes," there was a terrible dry laugh, the man who was almost exactly the same as Backfire, his body changed drastically, and his clothes were torn apart.
