"have not Get it yet?"

"Yes, Lord Quark, our manpower has been scattered everywhere to search, but there is really no way to find Mr. Mu, the Celestial Being." The subordinates were frightened: "Besides, in the capital now, those guys who are like the living dead are running rampant. , many of our brothers have died in battle and turned into the same bloodthirsty monsters."

Quark looked at the guy from the Security Department in front of him expressionlessly.

It can't be said that he is his subordinate, but now that he has the handwriting of the sword master Riyuro as the commander-in-chief, he can mobilize the power of the entire Security Department.

In fact, Quark does not have a fixed position in the Security Department...or rather, he has no position at all. Everyone only knows that he is the person who follows the Juggernaut, so he has a considerable identity.

"In this case, let's call people back as soon as possible." Quark thought for a while and said: "Our most important task now is to stabilize the defense line of this street and protect the people taking refuge as much as possible."

"I'm afraid... we won't be able to hold on for long."

The subordinates were extremely worried and said: "It would be fine if it were just ordinary people who turned into the living dead... but if it was professionals who turned into the living dead, it would be difficult. They still retain their strong power. If it weren't for the Security Department's constant We have stored a large number of weapons with huge lethality, and our defense line may have been breached long ago. However, judging from the current consumption, it may be difficult to maintain it until dawn."

At this moment, another senior manager of the Security Department quickly came to the two of them.

"Lord Quark, we found a secret passage in the weapons depot!" The visitor said with a look of surprise on his face at this time, "Moreover, we found a messenger in the secret passage... the messenger of Marshal Jacks! "

"Take me to see it." Quark frowned.

He... didn't know the existence of this secret passage.

…

The Security Department was founded by Sword Master Riyuro...it has existed at the same time since King Amos ascended the throne.

The original Sword Master Riyuro not only controlled all the soldiers and horses in his hands, but also established a security department that was independent of all the kingdom's systems and was directly subordinate to King Amos. It can be said that all the nobles in the kingdom were extremely afraid. a powerful figure.

Later, when the war was settled, Riyuro resigned from all military positions and only retained his identity as the chief of the Security Department. Therefore, the kingdom [Elnis] now has only one general, Jacks, who is known as the [Iron Marshal] .

It's just that [Iron Mask Marshal] Jacks has always been outside the royal capital, leading troops to wipe out the remaining strength in hiding after the destruction of various countries. He has not returned to the royal capital for several years.

Sword Master Riyuro and [Iron Mask Marshal] Jax have a close friendship, and Quark knows this very well. As a close associate of Riyuro, Quark had participated in private gatherings between the two mainstays of the kingdom more than once.

But even so, why did Jacks' messenger appear in the weapons depot of the Security Department, in that secret passage that even he didn't know about?

A feeling of distrust made Quark's eyes gradually become sharp at this time.

He carefully concealed the anger in his heart, came to the weapons depot, and saw the marshal's messenger they mentioned.

A young man who looks young, dressed lightly, but appears to be too mature and unsmiling.

"Are you the messenger of Lord Jacks?" Quark looked at the other party and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any proof?"

The young man who was the messenger took out a token at this time and said calmly: "This is the family emblem of the general. It will only be given to close relatives in the family. Your Security Department should be able to verify it."

At this time, the subordinate whispered beside Quark: "Our people have identified the family emblem. This is a specially made emblem. The general's family is unique to the kingdom, but we cannot find this person's identity in the household registration."

Quark pondered for a while, then looked at the person who came and asked: "What is your name, why are you here...and why do you know the existence of this secret passage? This is the important place of the Security Department. If you can't tell me a convincing story, There’s a reason, I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t trust you easily.”

"You can call me Tianyunxin." The young man said calmly: "In fact, I didn't know the existence of this secret passage before coming here. As for the reason why I came here, it is to help you."

"How can I help?" Quark said solemnly.

"You have also seen this secret passage." Tian Yunxin said seriously: "It is very long, even beyond the walls of the royal capital, and can lead all the way to Luo Xing Mountain outside the royal capital. The master of the family asked me to come and report the news. The purpose is to take you through this secret passage, escort the people of the royal capital away, and avoid this disaster."

"You mean the general?" Quark frowned: "He knows the situation in the royal capital... He's back?!"

"Exactly." Tian Yunxin said slowly: "Now, the head of the family is stationed at Luo Xing Mountain."

"Great!" The people from the Security Department couldn't help but exclaimed with joy at this time: "We don't have to stay here anymore... The general is back, great! We are saved!"

At this time, Quark waved his hand to silence the people behind him, and stared at Tian Yunxin, asking in a deep voice: "You still haven't answered me... why do you know the existence of this secret passage."

Tian Yunxin frowned and said: "I have already said that I didn't know about it until I came here. This is what the head of the family told me. If you have any questions, you can ask in front of the head of the family in person. My mission is just to open this secret passage , let you know.”

Quark said calmly: "If the secret passage is what you said, it can lead to Luo Xing Mountain outside the royal capital. It is indeed very long. But once the people of the royal capital pour into it, I'm afraid it may be a road of no return... …We don’t know what’s in the secret passage, let alone the exit of the secret passage, what’s waiting for us… I hope it’s still bad.”

Tian Yunxin frowned and said immediately: "It is reasonable for you to have concerns, but the current situation in the royal capital may not make you hesitate for too long. If you really don't believe it, you can send someone to follow me. How about this secret passage...? If it is really dangerous, you will lose at most one or two subordinates, but as long as it proves to be safe, you can save the people of the royal capital and yourself."

"Sir, my subordinates are willing to go and investigate!"

"My lord, I am willing too!"

Quark still waved his hand to calm the restless people, and then said seriously: "Since you want to investigate, then let me investigate... The chief entrusted the Security Department to me temporarily, and I can't let the people in the Security Department be harmed. Tianyun Xin, I will go with you."

"Sir! No!" Several subordinates hurriedly stepped forward.

What a good Mr. Quark, who dares to do something, stood up when something happened in the capital, and fought everything on his own. Now he even commits suicide alone for the safety of his subordinates... Compared with the free and easy Young Commander, It really is……

"I have already decided, you don't need to say anything." Quark said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

"Please come with me." Tian Yunxin nodded, but suddenly said: "This lord has great thoughts for his subordinates... He is really a good commander who is considerate of his subordinates."

Quark stepped into the secret passage, and Tian Yunxin followed him. The people from the Security Department immediately guarded the entrance of the secret passage, looking nervous.

"You said your name is Tian Yunxin?" Quark asked abruptly in the secret passage.

"Is there any problem?" the young messenger leading the way responded calmly.

"My president's student is called Tianren Mu." Quark said, "I always feel that your names are very similar."

Tian Yunxin said calmly: "The world is so big, even if you have the same name and surname... or even similar appearance, there are many people there, there is nothing strange about it."

"Indeed." Lord Quark nodded noncommittally, and then asked seriously: "May I ask, why was there no news before the general came back this time? According to the intelligence from the Security Department, the general's latest report should be It was a month ago, when he was probably looking for a remnant of troops in the Hongqi Mountains, which was at least twenty days' journey from the royal capital."

"You also said that the information was from a month ago." Tian Yunxin said calmly: "The clearing operation in the Hongqi Mountains went smoothly and did not take long."

"How did the general know what happened in the royal capital?" Quark asked abruptly: "Even we are in shock at this moment, and there is not even any sign of the disaster coming."

"You can ask the head of the family, maybe he will be willing to answer you."

"How long does it take to finish?"

"How long does it usually take you to get from the Security Department to the Royal Capital?"

Quark stopped asking questions and just followed Tian Yunxin silently, neither slowly nor in a hurry, saying nothing all the way.

…

…

Finally, he passed through this long secret passage unharmed, left the Dragon King's barrier of the Dragon Queen Hilda, and appeared in the Luo Xing Mountain outside the royal capital.

He looked back at the kingdom's capital city that was on fire at the moment, but he felt an unreal feeling.

"The head of the family is camping in the woods in front." Tian Yunxin's voice pulled Quark out of his daze, "Please!"

Quark had seen [Marshal Iron Mask] before, and more than once... The exit of the secret passage was guarded by a small group of about twenty soldiers.

These are the elite soldiers under [Marshal Iron Mask], and they are also the Ying Yang cavalry that once swept across the continent. They are the most powerful troops that [Marshal Iron Mask] Jacks has accepted.

"What a strong evil spirit..."

Quark couldn't help but be secretly frightened... Later, when he entered the woods and saw the densely packed tents stationed here, he was no longer simply frightened.

This [Iron Masked Marshal] actually moved a whole group of Yingyang cavalry here, and he didn't even leak any information beforehand... The secret agents of the Security Department were all over the place, but they didn't notice it at all!

Someone in the Security Department intercepted the news about [Marshal Iron Mask]!

Suddenly, Quark thought of the only reasonable explanation... Is there a traitor in the Security Department who secretly joined [Marshal in the Iron Mask]?

With this in mind, Quark finally arrived at the coach's tent under the leadership of Tian Yunxin. Tian Yunxin was standing outside the camp at this time, signaling Quark to enter alone.

Quark glanced at Tian Yunxin silently, and then, as if unintentionally, he put his hand on the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist... He held his wrist like this, then opened the tent and walked in alone.

As soon as he entered the camp, Quark was stunned.

"There you are, Quark."

"Old...Teacher, you..." Quark was startled for a moment, then suddenly showed a look of joy and walked forward quickly, "Great! Teacher, you are here!"

——Could it be that the person who suppressed the news that [Iron Masked Marshal] Jax returned to the royal capital... was the Sword Master himself?

The person who appeared in this tent was none other than Riyuro, the sword master who disappeared from the lake pavilion. In addition, there was another man in the tent at this time.

A man wearing a black iron mask with only a pair of eyes exposed...the kingdom's general, [Iron Mask Marshal] Jacks!

When Quark came in, [Marshal Iron Mask] and Sword Master Riyuro were sitting opposite each other, playing a chess game that was only introduced from the west in recent years.

Now, it should be [Iron Mask Marshal] Jacks' turn... Seeing that the general was deep in thought at this time and didn't even notice his arrival, Quark couldn't help but frowned and quickly came to the Sword Master Liyu Luo stood in front of him and whispered: "Teacher! Now in the capital..."

Sword Master Riyuro waved his hand to signal Quark to be quiet, "If you have anything to do, let's wait until the marshal and I finish playing this game of chess. Don't worry, given the current situation in the capital, it won't make much difference if it's earlier or later. ... Come and take a look at this game and see how we play."

"Yes, teacher." Quark nodded, then silently knelt down behind Sword Master Riyuro and looked over.

This is a one-sided situation, and the one currently at a clear disadvantage is [Iron Marshal] Jacks.

"Well, it seems there is only one way to reverse this situation." [Iron-faced Marshal] slowly put down the chess piece in his hand and shook his head, "If possible, I really don't want to take this step."

Riyuro couldn't help but asked curiously: "How do you plan to leave?"

"Let's go like this." I saw [Iron Marshal]'s voice deepen at this time, and then with a wave of his thug, he directly swept away all the chess pieces on the chessboard, and then said calmly: "Let's go like this."

"Smelly chess, stinky chess." Sword Master Ri Yuro shook his head repeatedly: "If you act like this, you won't find anyone to play chess with you in the future."

"Then this is the last game." [Iron Masked Marshal] chuckled and said: "You know me, every other year, I will quit the things I like. So what I want to quit this year is Play chess.”

"Then it's over." The sword master waved his hand, but directly swept aside the chaotic chess pieces, "I'll give you some face, let's make a peace."

"Ha, this is the feeling of being invincible." [Iron Marshal] smiled at this time, and then glanced at Quark, who was sitting upright behind the Sword Master, "You remember, on this day this year, the Sword Master Riyuro was killed by [Iron Marshal] Marshal Mian] was defeated steadily on the chessboard, and finally had to take the initiative to seek peace."

"Marshal is joking." Quark had no choice but to respond.

But seeing that the sword master Riyuro remained calm at this time, Quark asked tentatively: "I wonder if the marshal can enter the city and calm down the turmoil in the royal capital?"

"Unrest? What kind of turmoil do you want me to clean up?" [Iron Mask Marshal] looked at Quark in surprise at this time, "Didn't your dead teacher tell you why I came back?"

Quark subconsciously glanced at Sword Master Riyuro... Sword Master remained silent at this time.

Quark just shook his head.

"That's right, he didn't tell you...then I'll tell you." [Iron Mask Marshal] said calmly at this time: "I brought the army back this time to rebel."

"What!"

"Quark." [Iron Mask Marshal] waved his hand and said loudly: "Would you like to join me in rebelling against King Yamos? After I seize the throne and become king, you will be the founding hero of my country!"

Quark almost screamed out... Sword Master Riyuro was still indifferent at this time, as if he had known about it for a long time.

These two people...are they really still the mainstay of the kingdom?

…

…

A maid, trembling at this time, walked out of the palace and came to the square... Finally, with a pale face, she came to where Boss Luo and others were.

"How many... how many..." Even the maid's voice was trembling, "Your Majesty, please...please invite some of you to come in... to have... a meal..."

"Just right." Boss Luo smiled slightly, "We haven't had dinner yet, so Miss Lao will lead the way."

"Please...please come with me..."

Nan Xiaonan's eyes suddenly narrowed at this moment...Come on, after his wife was beaten away, the husband was finally willing to let go.
