The sword of online games refers to the rivers and lakes

Lingzhou City seemed even quieter under the heavy rain. The sky had just darkened, but not a single person could be seen on the street. Most of the rooms were guarded by General Tie, and most of the residents in the city had already left. www Li Yu

Murong Lan and I walked around the city, but in the end we couldn't find an inn or restaurant that was still open. For them, eating and sleeping are no longer necessary, but having a place to live is better than living in a hotel.

It's much more convenient outside.

Just as Li Yu was about to open the door of a room, a voice of greeting suddenly came from behind him.

"Heroes, I finally found you." The person who came was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat covering his face. His face could not be seen clearly. He was short of breath and panting at times, as if he had been rushing all the way.

Li Yu looked at it suspiciously. They seemed to have no acquaintances in Lingzhou City.

Seeing Li Yu's confused expression through the rain curtain, the visitor picked up his bamboo hat and said, "Hero, we have just met."

Li Yu took a look and saw a very ordinary face, but his determined eyes were very outstanding, and he looked a bit familiar.

"When the hero entered the city, he handed the imperial spy to me." The visitor explained. "The hero must be looking for a place to stay! If you don't mind, you can come to my house." Li Yu's casual handling left him and another soldier

They received great benefits, including a promotion and a reward of five hundred taels of silver. After leaving the military camp, they came to look for them.

Li Yu suddenly realized after hearing this. Seeing the heavy rain still pouring down, he glanced at Murong Lan and nodded.

The visitor was very happy to see this and immediately led the way.

This man is actually just a very ordinary soldier. He is originally from Lingzhou. He has a small house in the city, but due to the years of war, his family has been sent to the south. He only goes out a lot when he needs money.

Yesterday, my father asked someone to bring a letter saying that he had no more money and hoped to send some after his salary was paid. The five hundred taels of silver he received today just solved his urgent need.

The house is at the foot of the city wall, and it didn't take long to arrive.

By the time Li Yu and the others were arranged to stay, the horse was tied up and fed, the sky was completely dark. Because this was a special period before the war, soldiers were not allowed to ask for leave. After settling them in, the owner hurried to the city wall to perform duty.

Went.

"Senior brother, what should we do next?" Murong Lan asked.

Li Yu took out the token found on the spy and said, "I'm going to Yipintang."

Murong Lan hesitated and said, "Yipin Tang is where the Xixia royal family recruits masters. We don't speak Xixia dialect, so it's hard to disguise ourselves."

"It doesn't matter, the mission is just to find out the truth and reality of Yipintang, and there is no need to compete with those masters." Li Yu actually knew that this mission would definitely not be that simple, but there was no better way at the moment. Since the prompt was to enter in disguise, there was naturally

There is a possibility of success, and we will adapt accordingly when the time comes!

"Senior brother's Qing Gong level is not as high as mine, so I think it's better for me to enter!" The dangers involved are self-evident, and the level of Qing Gong is the key to survival.

Murong Lan had no idea, "Your figure is far different from that of the spy. You will be caught before you can get in. You don't have to worry about Qinggong." Li Yu put the token back into his arms.

"Then I will meet you outside when I arrive."

Li Yu nodded. After all, this was a task for two people to do together.

***

Perhaps the intelligence collection had not yet been completed, so Xixia did not take advantage of the heavy rain to attack the city, and the night was peaceful.

"My hero, this is our General Cheng. General, this is the hero who captured the Xixia secret agent." Early in the morning, Li Yu was awakened by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a group of soldiers.

Uniform soldiers.

"Thank you for your help, hero. I am the general commanding the army of Lingzhou City." His voice was high-pitched, and he looked a bit mighty, but a strange look would flash from the corner of his eyes from time to time.

The owner of the room knew from his contact with Li Yu yesterday that he didn't like too many people, so he continued, "General, the hero was ordered to go to the Xixia Kingdom for official duties. It is a long way from Lingzhou City to Xingqing Mansion.

The hero doesn't have a mount yet, so I hope the commander can help me." In fact, it was inappropriate to say this in his capacity, but the capture of the secret agent yesterday was really crucial to the situation of the battle, and he had obtained it early in the morning.

The general is about to be promoted.

When the general heard this, he said succinctly, "Since we are all doing things for the imperial court, of course we should help with such small things. Come and bring a good horse." He had no good impressions of people like Li Yu, but he really

It can be said that Li Yu should be his benefactor, so everything is easy to say.

When Li Yu heard this, he cupped his fists to express his gratitude.

Seeing that Li Yu's expression was indifferent and his attitude lacked respect, the general was too lazy to stay here. He said, "The military situation is urgent and official duties are busy" and left.

***

It's actually not that far from Lingzhou City to Xingqing Mansion, but it just rained heavily yesterday and the road is very difficult to walk. It will be much easier to travel with horses.

Li Yu and Murong Lan raised their whips and patted their horses amidst continuous shouts of gratitude, and soon left Lingzhou City behind them.

The Xixia Kingdom's attack on Lingzhou City was already quite obvious, but what confused Li Yu was that when they entered Lingzhou City, there was an army in the city. After the spies defrauding the city and the espionage incident, the city

The number of troops inside has still not increased. The morale of the soldiers on the city wall has been much lower than the day before yesterday.

Exiting Lingzhou is the territory of Xixia, but now is the war period, and I haven't met anyone along the way. Li Yu doesn't know the road, and Murong Lan has never been there. Everything is based on the map left by Pure Color

.

"There are troops ahead." Murong Lan suddenly said.

Li Yu also felt that there was a large group of troops marching in front. Hearing the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, the number was probably no less than a thousand. At this time, they were almost arriving in Shunzhou. The troops appearing here could only be Xixia

They could only choose to avoid the regular army. No matter how powerful one person is, it is impossible to fight against an army. Moreover, regular armies usually march and regularly explore their surroundings. If they do not take a detour, it will only be a matter of time before they are defeated. Now

The army was still far away, but it was still too late to avoid it.

Li Yu spread out the map. He couldn't leave Shunzhou, so he had to go from Jingzhou. These two places are very close to Xingqing Mansion. Even if he diverts now, it won't be wasted. It's just that Xixia's army is already heading to Lingzhou.

There must be more than a thousand cavalry gathered in the direction of the city. If it were just the soldiers in Lingzhou City, no matter how much information they knew, it would be easy to defeat them.

Following the direction marked on the map, the two easily found the way to Jingzhou.

"There are some here too." Murong glanced at Li Yu.

Fortunately, the troops from Jingzhou have already rushed to the front. Li Yu concentrated his energy and could still see densely packed troops in the distance. Most of the troops setting off from Jingzhou were infantry. Looking at the traces left on the ground

This army seems to be carrying heavy weapons, and the deep car marks extend all the way forward.

The fate of Lingzhou City was obviously beyond the control of the two of them. After checking it out, the two of them continued on their way. Jingzhou is just a small place, and Xixia's development here is different. In order to worry about being attacked, the two of them went on the road again.

, the two of them chose to go around the city and go straight to Xingqing Mansion.

After passing Jingzhou, Li Yu and the others often met some pedestrians, but they were all ordinary people. The war was between the two countries, but until it officially broke out, it was peaceful. There are few people in Xixia

When the Central Plains people moved around, these Xixia people looked at them with strange eyes.

In a quarter of an hour, we will arrive at Xingqing Mansion.

"Roar", there was a loud shout from the front. Li Yu and Murong Lan felt their mounts shake, and then they stopped moving forward.

"Who are you? Are you going to Yipintang?" It was a fat man with a pair of scissors and a fat face.

Seeing him subconsciously waving the golden scissors in his hand, Li Yu's heart moved, and a person's name was about to come out.

"It's the Crocodile God of the South China Sea." Murong Lan said softly to Li Yu.

"What is your grandfather-in-law asking you?" Seeing that Li Yu and the others were not afraid of the big scissors in their hands, they were just talking in a low voice. The loud voice seemed to shake the ground.
