Nightwatcher

Songshan County, in Wengcheng.

After hearing the lieutenant general's casualty report, Xu Nian let out a silent breath:

"Go down, let the soldiers be careful, and don't give the enemy's masters a chance to attack at night."

After the two siege battles, the elite of the enemy army was well preserved, and the dead were all miscellaneous troops composed of refugees. .

The leader of the Yunzhou Army is a smart man who knows how to use the lives of refugees to consume the shells and crossbows of the defenders. In addition, they let masters mix with the miscellaneous army, waiting for an opportunity to climb up the city wall and kill them, destroying the bed crossbows and artillery defending the city.

"The enemy general is a smart man, but the night attack is extremely stupid."

Xu Erlang glanced at Miao Youfang beside him, and said:

"Somewhat strange."

Miao Youfang didn't understand at all, shrugged: "What's strange, I think he is a smart man, he knows how to sneak attack at night."

"The disadvantages of attacking the city at night, I told you just now, a mature general will not be so rash. Unless he has a short time limit to capture Songshan County."

Xu Xinian calmly analyzed.

"Anyway, I'm only responsible for killing the enemy, and I will never participate in things that use my brain."

Miao Youfang first stated his position, and then began to brag:

"I may not have told you that that day in Southern Xinjiang's Shiwan Dashan, this hero assisted Xu Yinluo to enter the Nanfa Temple, a place of Buddhist sect, and fought to the death with all the eminent monks of the Buddhist sect.

"In the end, Asuro, who defeated the second rank of Buddhism, laid the foundation stone for the Nan Yao's uprising. With my help today, you can rest assured."

Xu Nian glanced at him and said slowly:

"When I was in Qingzhou City, I met Yuan Hufa, and he told me about the Shiwan Dashan in detail."

Miao Youfang, whose cowhide was punctured, froze, and immediately bared his teeth and said:

"That's a nasty monkey monster."

In this regard, Xu Xinian sincerely agrees:

"A gentleman sees the same thing."

The two gave each other a sideways glance in tacit understanding, as if saying:

It seems that you have also experienced embarrassing situations.

At this time, a soldier hurried in and shouted:

"Master Xu, the enemy army has shot an arrow book."

Xu Xinian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly:

"Present."

Miao Youfang got up immediately, took the arrow book from the soldiers, and handed it to Xu Xinian.

The latter opened it and read it. After reading it, he sneered.

"What does it say?"

Miao Youfang hurriedly asked.

Xu Erlang said indifferently: "The enemy general is Zhuo Haoran. He said that within three days he would destroy the city, behead me, and give it to my elder brother as a meeting gift."

Ten miles away from the east gate, the king of Yunzhou camped.

The bonfire was blazing, the tents were silent, the soldiers went to bed early, and the soldiers in strong armor patrolled back and forth.

There are also scouts on the periphery.

Outside the military tent, the burly Zhuo Haoran, who was dressed in armor, beheaded the captured Dafeng army scout with his own hands.

He licked the blood-stained back of the knife, grinning grinningly:

"Unexpectedly, the person in charge of guarding Songshan County is Xu Qi'an's cousin. When I break through Songshan County and cut off that guy's head, I must keep it well and send someone to send it to Xu."

Lieutenant General Zhao Tian said in a deep voice:

"According to the scout's account, Xu New Year is a disciple of Zhang Shen of Yunlu Academy, and he is proficient in the art of war, so don't be careless."

He was well aware of Zhuo Haoran's domineering temperament, and immediately added:

"However, with the general's bravery, breaking the city is just around the corner. If the general knows that you beheaded Xu Xinian, he will reward you."

Zhuo Haoran nodded:

"Pass down the order that those who beheaded the new year will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred households will be sealed."

The next day, Xu Qi'an woke up in sedation, and saw a sad woman like a lilac flower.

She is beautiful, but her sad temperament can make people ignore her beauty, and people can't help but want to walk into her heart and listen to her sorrow.

"Xu Lang, you're awake."

Luo Yuheng said softly.

It's you, Xiao Ai Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, among the seven emotions, the most difficult ones are the three personalities of "desire", "anger" and "evil".

Nu has a relatively good personality, but his temper is a bit grumpy, and he loses his temper when he disagrees with him, and hits people with his hands.

Xu Qi'an is most afraid of personality, which means that he is in exercise mode 24 hours a day, which consumes a lot of energy.

The evil personality has never experienced it before. Last time, the evil personality was the last one to appear, and Luo Yuheng drove him away early.

Based on his aunt's fearful behavior, Xu Qi'an deduced that the villainous personality is like the vicious queen in Gongdou drama.

As long as these three personalities don't appear, the other personalities, Xu Qi'an, don't matter.

Xiao Ai has a lot of sentimentality, and always feels that she is old enough to be the mother of a lover, and she is a little melancholy.

"National teacher, you are as beautiful as the morning sun, making people intoxicated."

Xu Qi'an took care of the fragile and sensitive Xiao Ai like a delicate flower.

Xiao Ai showed embarrassment and joy, and said in a low voice:

"Xu Lang doesn't need to call our teacher, but Yu Heng."

Come, come, you came to the club again to die. Xu Qi'an shuddered, thinking why bother, waiting for your reply later, and then thought of slashing me with a sword.

The periphery of Jiyuan, the edge of the primeval forest.

Headed by extraordinary leaders such as Grandma Tiangu, the fourth-rank masters of the seven divisions gathered at the edge of the virgin forest.

The hearts of the Gu people are heavy, and the power of the Gu gods is blowing out, which often means that a superhuman Gu beast may be born.

A deformed monster with insanity, and it is a transcendent. What it symbolizes is killing and destruction. In the history of the Gu clan, there are not many leaders who died of extraordinary Gu beasts.

It can be said that the extraordinary Gu beasts were dealt with by the leaders of the Gu tribe with their lives.

"The power of Gu God is several times stronger than usual."

The person who spoke was the fourth-rank elder of the Corpse Gu Department, and beside him were three walking corpse puppets with strong breaths.

"Not to mention the extraordinary birth, the number of Gu beasts and Gu worms at the fourth-grade level will increase sharply in a short period of time. If we are negligent, we may be at risk of falling."

When the elders of the Poison Gu Department said these words, they were looking at the six elders of the Power Gu Department.

The Great Elder cursed and said:

"What do you look at, I have killed more Gu beasts than you have eaten meat."

His mouth was not convinced, but Da Lao Zhang's brows were not loosened, and they were always furrowed.

There are not many outbreaks of Gu God's power, they have only experienced it twice in their lives, and none of them can compare with yesterday's movement.

After a night of absorption and digestion, the Gu worms and beasts near Jiyuan may have begun to transform.

Power is not the key, the main reason is that the virgin forest around Jiyuan is vast and boundless, it is difficult to do a blanket search, and if there is any omission, it may give the future extraordinary Gu worms room to breathe.

"Fortunately, Xu Yinluo is there to help. He is a martial artist and is good at killing. With his help, he is like a tiger with wings."

The second elder of the Force Gu Department said.

The elders nodded slightly, even if they don't like the poisonous Gu, corpse Gu and love Gu department of the Central Plains people, they have to admit that what the second elder said is true.

"It would be great if there were warlocks to help, and bombarding Jiyuan would save a lot of trouble. Or, a system like Taoist Renzong that can control the sword array."

Next to Granny Tiangu, a middle-aged man said.

While discussing, everyone saw a golden light coming towards the wind, it was Xu Yinluo with a fire ring burning behind his head.

And beside him, there is a woman flying with a sword, stepping on a flying sword, wearing a feather coat, holding a dust whisk in her hand, and the cinnabar between her eyebrows is particularly eye-catching.

The moment they saw the Yujian woman, the Gu men were taken aback for a moment, and then showed obsession. Reason told them that this was a white and pure Central Plains woman, but their eyes told them that this was the most beautiful woman in the world.

They saw the one they loved in this woman.

Xu Qi'an landed on the ground, nodded towards Grandma Tiangu and the others, and said:

"This is the head of Renzong Dao, the Great Master of Fengguo."

Except for Grandma Tiangu, everyone stared at Luo Yuheng in surprise. If I remember correctly, the current Daoist of Renzong is a second-rank powerhouse.

"I specially invited them to clean up the Gu beasts together."

Xu Qi'an said again.

With the participation of Zong Jianxiu, it will be much easier to clean up Gu insects and beasts. The eyes of the elders of the power Gu, heart Gu, heaven Gu, and dark Gu tribes lit up, and they were sincerely delighted.

The elders of the three tribes of Poison Gu, Love Gu and Corpse Gu were either silent or embarrassed, because they were hostile to Xu Qi'an in their hearts.

Because he represents the Dafeng Dynasty.

Why should we treat our enemies with courtesy? This is their common aspiration.

But now, in order to help the Gu Clan clean up the Gu beasts, Xu Qi'an actually invited the head of Renzong Dao who was far away in the capital of Dafeng Kingdom.

This sincerity and kindness made them unable to speak harsh words no matter what.

It must have taken a lot of human favor to invite Dafeng Guoshi to the southern border, the elders of the three departments thought to themselves.

"Being able to invite the head of Renzong Dao here must have used a great favor."

The elder said with emotion.

People from other tribes will keep their doubts in their hearts, but people from the Ligu tribe have always been "speaking straight".

Xu Qi'an glanced at Luo Yuheng and said "Oh":

"It's okay, the national teacher is my Taoist companion."

After saying these words, Xu Qi'an saw more than 20 people present, and his expression suddenly became very strange.

The Taoist head of the Renzong sect is his dual monks.

Damn it, such a stunning beauty was overwhelmed by this vulgar warrior

Xu Yinluo deserves to be the number one martial artist in Dafeng, and his background in the Central Plains is deeper than we imagined.

Humph, steal my man

Various thoughts flashed through everyone's minds.

Grandma Tian Gu nodded to Luo Yuheng and said:

"lets go."

With Luo Yuheng's help, cleaning up the Gu beasts became easier and faster.

A sword cultivator who is about to cross the catastrophe, the lethality she can unleash has amazed everyone in the Gu clan.

At dusk, Xu Qi'an and everyone from the Gu tribe withdrew from Jiyuan and returned to the tribe.

He did not return to the Power Gu Department with Longtu, but caught up with the Heavenly Gu Granny, saying:

"Grandma, take a step to speak."

Granny Tiangu leaned on crutches and walked side by side with him for a while, the old man asked kindly:

"What about asking for reinforcements?"

Xu Qi'an nodded.

The Heavenly Gu Granny walked forward slowly, muttering:

"Forget about love Gu and poisonous Gu. The prejudices of the two tribes towards Dafeng are too deep to be changed overnight. But the Corpse Gu Department can fight for it. For Wei Yuan and Youshi, he has the hatred of killing his father, but his clansmen are not so serious. Hate big bong.

"Because of habits, the Dark Gu Department is only slightly better than the Li Gu Department, but it also lacks material money and food, and lives in poverty. You can start from this aspect."

Habitual reasons? Did they play hide-and-seek all day long? Xu Qi'an held back and didn't complain.

"The people in the Heart Gu Department are more rational. Chun Yan seems to have a good impression of you. It's not difficult to discuss it. The Power Gu Department can only provide food. The clansmen are warlike and are not afraid of sacrifice. The Heavenly Gu Department is not good at fighting. Watching The art of astrology can also be used by warlocks, so don't worry about us."

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Xu Qi'an cupped his hands.

After asking the addresses of each department, he and Luo Yuheng returned to the Force Gu Department. After the national teacher entered the room, the first thing he did was to paste talismans on the doors and windows to isolate the inside and outside.

And Xu Qi'an sent Xu Lingyin to Lina's room.

"clap clap"

In the dimly lit room, the climate in southern Xinjiang was hot and mosquitoes were annoying. Xu Qi'an patted the mosquitoes for the national teacher until late at night.

The next day, when the sun was just rising, Xu Qi'an went to the Shadow Department while the national teacher was still awake.

The Shadow Department is located in the southwest of Jiyuan. It is a fairly large-scale town. The three-meter-high earth wall surrounds the town, with the mountains as its back, and a small river flowing outside the town.

The population of the town is around 7,000.

Of course, this is not all the population of the Shadow Department. The Gu people have multiplied in the southern border for thousands of years and developed many small tribes. There are many small villages scattered around this big town.

Xu Qi'an jumped in the shadows all the way, and when he came to the shadow department, the rising sun was already high.

The river outside the town is dyed a magnificent golden red, flowing quietly.

The town is quiet, like a town full of living people, suddenly the population disappears collectively, and the dead silence is strange.

He turned his head and looked around, and saw a child wearing Nanjiang costumes sitting at the door of his house, eating steamed buns.

"Where are the adults at home?"

Xu Qi'an moved closer.

While talking, he looked at the little boy, dressed plainly, and the bun in his hand seemed to be his breakfast.

The little boy looked at him blankly, obviously not understanding the Mandarin of the Central Plains.

At this time, a young man crawled out from the shadow beside the water tank at the door, wearing blue and blue attire, with a pale face and a blue cloth scarf wrapped around his head.

"Is it Xu Yinluo?"

The young man said respectfully.

"You are his father?"

Xu Qi'an asked back.

"I'm from the patrol team. We noticed you as soon as you entered the town. The leader has told us that if Xu Yinluo visits, he will take you to see him."

After the young man finished speaking, he looked at the child:

"His parents are hiding, and they won't come out in less than two hours."

As I said, I also had an addiction, and I couldn't help but want to hide it. Xu Qi'an nodded, with a calm tone:

"Lead the way."

PS: Recently, I am adjusting my work and rest, and make sure that I go to bed before 12 o'clock every day, so I will temporarily stabilize the two shifts. I'll make up for it when I get my schedule back.
