Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 687 - 687: Dark Gu Department

Songshan County, in the city wall.

After listening to the deputy general's report on casualties, Xu Xinnian let out a silent breath:

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

After two sieges, the enemy's elite were well preserved, and the dead were all the miscellaneous troops composed of refugees.

The commander of the Yunzhou Army was a smart man, who knew how to use the lives of refugees to consume the artillery shells and crossbows of the defenders. In addition, they also let the masters mix in the miscellaneous troops, waiting for an opportunity to climb up the city wall and kill a lot, destroying the crossbows and artillery of the defenders.

"The enemy commander is a smart man, but a night attack is particularly stupid."

Xu Erlang glanced at Miao Youfang beside him and said:

"It's a bit strange."

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

"I just told you about the disadvantages of attacking the city at night. A mature general will not be so reckless. Unless he has a time limit to capture Songshan County in a short period of time..."

Xu Xinnian analyzed calmly.

"Anyway, I am only responsible for killing the enemy. I will never participate in brainstorming."

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

"I may not have told you that on that day in the Ten Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang, this hero assisted Xu Yinluo to enter the Nanfa Temple, a Buddhist important place, and fought to the death with the Buddhist monks.

"In the end, he defeated Asura, the second-rank Buddhist, and laid the foundation for the rebellion of the Southern Demon. You can rest assured that I will help you today. "

Xu Xinnian glanced at him and said slowly:

"When I was in Qingzhou City, I met Yuan Hufa, and he told me in detail about the Ten Thousand Mountains."

Miao Youfang, whose boast was exposed, froze, and then bared his teeth and said:

"That is a disgusting monkey demon."

To this, Xu Xinnian wholeheartedly agreed:

"Gentlemen think alike."

The two glanced at each other tacitly, as if saying:

It seems that you have also experienced an embarrassing scene.

At this time, a soldier hurried in and reported loudly:

"Master Xu, the enemy army shot a letter with an arrow."

Xu Xinnian's eyes flashed slightly, and he said calmly:

"Show it."

Miao Youfang immediately stood up, took the letter from the soldier, and handed it to Xu Xinnian.

The latter opened it and read it, and sneered after reading it.

"What does it say? "

Miao Youfang asked hurriedly.

Xu Erlang said calmly: "The enemy's commander is a man named Zhuo Haoran. He said that if he can break the city within three days, he will cut off my head and send it to my eldest brother as a gift."

........

Ten miles away from the East Gate, Yunzhou Jun's tent.

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

There were also scouts patrolling the outer periphery.

Outside the military tent, Zhuo Haoran, who was dressed in armor and had a burly physique, personally cut off the captured Dafeng Army scout.

He licked the bloody back of the knife and grinned:

"I didn't expect that the person in charge of guarding Songshan County was Xu Qian'an's cousin. When I break through Songshan County and cut off that guy's head, I will keep it well and send someone to send it to Xu. "

Deputy General Zhao Tian said in a deep voice:

"According to the scout's explanation, Xu Xinnian is a disciple of Zhang Shen of Yunlu Academy. He is proficient in military tactics and should not be taken lightly."

He knew Zhuo Haoran's domineering nature very well and immediately added:

"However, with the general's bravery, the city will be broken in no time. If the general knew that you cut off Xu Xinnian's head, he would definitely reward you."

Zhuo Haoran nodded:

"Pass the order down, whoever cuts off Xu Xinnian's head will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be granted a hundred households."

......

The next day, Xu Qian'an woke up from his meditation and saw a woman who was as sad as a lilac.

She was beautiful, but her sad temperament could make people ignore her beauty, and people couldn'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 "desire", "anger" and "evil".

The anger personality is relatively good, but she is a little irritable. She loses her temper and hits people if she doesn't agree with something.

The desire personality is what Xu Qi'an fears the most, which means that he is in pile driver mode 24 hours a day, and his kidneys are in great pain.

I have never experienced the evil personality. The evil personality was the last one to appear last time, and Luo Yuheng drove him away early.

Based on the fearful performance of the aunt, Xu Qi'an speculated that the evil personality is the vicious queen in the palace fighting drama.

As long as these three personalities do not appear, Xu Qi'an doesn't care about other personalities.

Xiao Ai is very sentimental. She always feels that she is old enough to be the mother of her lover, and she is a little melancholy.

"National Master, you are as beautiful as the morning sun, intoxicating. "

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

Xiao Ai showed a shy look and whispered:

"Xu Lang doesn't need to call me Master, just call me Yu Heng. "

Here you come, you come to the community to kill again......Xu Qian'an shuddered, thinking why bother, I'll wait for your reply later, and then I'll think of chopping me with a sword.

........

Outskirts of Jiyuan, edge of the primeval forest.

Led by the extraordinary leaders such as Tian Gu Granny, the four-grade masters of the seven divisions gathered at the edge of the primeval forest.

The hearts of the Gu people are heavy, and the power of the Gu God is gushing out, which often means that a Gu beast of the extraordinary realm may be born.

A mentally disordered and deformed monster, and it is in the extraordinary realm, it symbolizes killing and destruction. In the history of the Gu tribe, many leaders died of extraordinary Gu beasts.

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

"Compared to usual times, the power of the Gu God is several times stronger. "

The one who spoke was a fourth-grade elder of the Corpse Gu Department, who was accompanied by three walking corpse puppets with strong auras.

"Not to mention the birth of extraordinary beings, the number of fourth-grade Gu beasts and Gu insects will increase dramatically in the short term. If we are careless, we may be in danger of falling."

When the elder of the Poison Gu Department said these words, he was looking at the six elders of the Power Gu Department.

The first elder cursed:

"What are you looking at? I have killed more Gu beasts than you have eaten meat. "

Although he was not convinced, Zhang's brows were still furrowed.

The power of the Gu God did not explode many times. They had only experienced it twice in their lives, and none of them could compare to yesterday's movement.

After a night of absorption and digestion, the Gu insects and beasts near Jiyuan may have undergone a preliminary transformation.

Being strong is not the key. The main thing is that the primeval forests around Jiyuan are vast and boundless, and it is difficult to conduct a carpet search. Once there is an omission, it may give future extraordinary Gu insects room to breathe.

"Fortunately, Xu Yinluo helped. He is a warrior and good at killing. With his help, it is like a tiger with wings."

The second elder of the Power Gu Department said.

The elders of each department nodded slightly. Even the Poison Gu, Corpse Gu and Love Gu Departments, who did not like the Central Plains people, had to admit that what the second elder said was true.

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

A middle-aged man said beside Tian Gu Granny.

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

Beside him, there was a woman flying with a sword. She was standing on a flying sword, wearing a feathered dress, holding a whisk in her hand, and the cinnabar between her eyebrows was particularly eye-catching.

When they saw the sword-riding woman, the Gu clan men were stunned, and then they showed an obsession. Reason told them that this was a fair-skinned Central Plains woman, but their eyes told them that this was the most beautiful woman in the world.

They saw the type they loved in this woman.

Xu Qian'an landed on the ground, nodded to Tian Gu Granny and others, and said:

"This is the Taoist leader of the Human Sect, the Great Master of the Imperial Academy."

The Taoist leader of the Human Sect......Except for Tian Gu Granny, everyone stared at Luo Yuheng in surprise. If I remember correctly, the current Taoist leader of the Human Sect is a second-grade strongman.

"I specially invited him to help clean up the Gu beasts. "

Xu Qiyan said again.

With the participation of the Renzong sword cultivators, it will be much easier to clean up the poisonous insects and poisonous beasts... The eyes of the elders of the Li Gu, Xin Gu, Tian Gu, and An Gu tribes lit up, and they were sincerely happy.

The elders of the three tribes of Du Gu, Qing Gu, and Corpse Gu were either silent or embarrassed, because they were hostile to Xu Qiyan in their hearts.

Because he represented the Dafeng Dynasty.

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

But now they saw that Xu Qiyan actually invited the head of the Renzong Dao, who was far away in the capital of Dafeng, to help the Gu tribe clean up the poisonous beasts.

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

It must have cost a lot of favors to invite the Dafeng national master to the southern border... The elders of the three tribes thought.

"It must have cost a lot of favors to invite the head of the Renzong Dao. "

The great elder sighed.

People from other tribes would keep their doubts in their hearts, but people from the Li Gu tribe always "speak their mind".

Xu Qiyan glanced at Luo Yuheng and said, "Oh":

"It doesn't matter, the national teacher is my Taoist partner."

After saying this, Xu Qiyan saw more than 20 people present, and his expression suddenly became very strange.

The Taoist leader of the Renzong is his Taoist partner for dual cultivation.......

God damn it, such a beautiful woman was taken away by this vulgar warrior.......

Xu Yinluo is worthy of being the number one warrior in Dafeng. His foundation in the Central Plains is deeper than we thought...

Humph, steal my man......

All kinds of thoughts flashed through everyone's mind.

Tian Gu Granny nodded to Luo Yuheng and said:

"Let's go. "

......

With Luo Yuheng's help, the operation of clearing the Gu beasts became easy and fast.

A sword cultivator who was about to pass the tribulation, she could burst out with lethality, which made the Gu tribe look at her with new eyes.

At dusk, Xu Qiyan and the Gu tribe left Jiyuan and returned to the tribe.

He did not follow Longtu back to the Li Gu tribe, but caught up with Tian Gu Granny and said:

"Grandma, can you please talk to me?"

Tian Gu Granny walked with him for a while with a cane, and asked kindly:

"Are you asking for reinforcements?"

Xu Qiyan nodded.

Tian Gu Granny walked slowly forward and pondered:

"Forget about the love Gu and poison Gu. The two tribes have too deep prejudices against Dafeng, and it will not change overnight. But the Corpse Gu tribe can be fought for. Wei Yuan has a grudge against You Shi for killing his father, but his tribe members do not hate Dafeng that much.

"Due to their habits, the Dark Gu Tribe is only slightly better than the Power Gu Tribe, but they also lack material money and food, and live in poverty. You can start from this aspect."

Habits? Are they playing hide-and-seek all day long.......Xu Qi'an held back and didn't complain.

"The people of the Heart Gu Tribe are more rational. Chun Yan seems to have a good impression of you. It won't be difficult to discuss it well. The Power Gu Tribe can be promised food. The people are warlike and not afraid of sacrifice. The Sky Gu Tribe is not good at fighting. They can also be astrological or sorcerers, so they don't have to worry about us."

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Xu Qi'an bowed.

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

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

"Pah, pah, pah..."

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

.......

The next day, the morning sun had just risen, and Xu Qi'an went to the Shadow Department while the national teacher was still asleep.

The Shadow Department is located in the southwest of Jiyuan. It is a fairly large town. The three-meter-high earth wall surrounds the town, backed by mountains, and a small river flows outside the town.

The town has a population of about 7,000.

Of course, this is not all the population of the Shadow Department. The Gu tribe has been multiplying in southern Xinjiang for thousands of years and has developed many small tribes. There are many small villages scattered around this big town.

Xu Qi'an jumped in the shadows all the way. When he arrived at the Shadow Department, the morning sun was already high.

The river outside the town was stained with a layer of gorgeous golden red and flowed quietly.

The town was quiet, like a town that was full of people, but suddenly the population disappeared collectively, and the dead silence was weird.

He turned around and saw a child wearing southern Xinjiang clothes sitting at the door of his house eating steamed bread.

"Where are the adults at home?"

Xu Qian'an moved closer.

While speaking, he examined the little boy, who was dressed simply, and the steamed bread in his hand seemed to be his breakfast.

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

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

"Is it Xu Yinluo?"

The young man said respectfully.

"Are you his father?"

Xu Qian'an asked back.

"I'm from the patrol team. We noticed you as soon as you entered the town. The leader has said that if Xu Yinluo comes to visit, we will take you to see him."

The young man said, looking at the child:

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

I was tempted to hide...Xu Qian'an nodded, his tone calm:

"Lead the way."
