This warrior is so fierce

At the beginning of June, Cao Su led [-] fine cavalry and arrived in Guangyang City.

Guangyang City was the original "Piaoxue City", and now Cao Su "forcibly" changed its name. The purpose is not to make "Guangyang" sound good, but to make the original "Piaoxue" gradually fade out of people's vision .

Cao Su did not show up, but asked Shi Yong and Ma Chao in the team to come forward to negotiate with Luo Wu, the lord of Guangyang City.

Luo Wu is now in a semi-puppet state, being the city lord here is not his wish, it is really helpless.

After Cao Su's three thousand elite riders replenished here for two days, they continued northward and covered a greater distance.

June and July can be regarded as the milder months of the year in Youzhou. When the sunshine is strong, you can even feel a little bit of heat.

Of course, most of the time, Youzhou is still very cool.

The "special operations team" led by Cao Su set off directly from Guangyang City, stepped across the vast snow-capped mountains, and entered the northern border of Youzhou. After stepping out, it was the wider Youzhou grassland.

The endless grassland is suitable for galloping horses.

This is the frontier of Qianyuan, and the people living on the grassland cannot be regarded as Qianyuan people.

Cao Su led the army, and under the guidance of Gong Wu, the head of the Red Wolf tribe, he had some basic understanding of the distribution of ethnic groups and tribes on the grassland.

Generally speaking, there are not many tribes living on the vast grassland, because in winter, the living environment of the barren grassland is too harsh, and it is difficult to survive here easily.

Generally, the larger tribes only have more than ten thousand people, most of the tribes have only a few thousand people, and the smaller ones have only a few hundred people.

The number of these large and small tribes is less than Cao Su imagined, and they will move tribes every once in a while.

Of course, like the Red Wolf tribe, although they can also move, the range of movement is regular. Basically, they can still return to the original place after a circle, which means that this area belongs to their Red Wolf tribe.

That is, the relatively rough and straightforward "horse staking" in the legend.

Therefore, the grassland was sparsely populated, and Cao Su led [-] elite cavalry, capable of sweeping away any tribe he encountered.

I didn't meet any large tribes along the way, and the largest tribe had a total population of only 8000 people. Seeing Cao Su's majestic cavalry appeared, the patriarch of that tribe was blinded.

Immediately, he prostrated himself on the grassland, wanting to kiss Cao Su's combat boots lightly.

Faced with such resistance, it was difficult for Cao Su to get a chance to make a move, and the army had never fought a single battle, but his reputation gradually spread on the grassland.

Cao Su clearly felt that the population of the grassland was too small, which was not conducive to experience, so he turned around and led the Jingqi to the east.

Keep going eastward, and you will step into the Liaozhou area, which is where Li Xingxi is currently active.

As a result, before officially entering Liaozhou, they received news from Youzhou Mansion.

"In the southeast of Youzhou Prefecture, an evil dragon appeared in Funiu Daze."

"The evil dragon has achieved success in cultivation. I don't know why. A few days ago, he suddenly went berserk and swallowed up several caravans in Youzhou Prefecture. Some caravans passed through Funiu Lake, but there were no bones left, and their deaths were tragic."

Evil Jiao?

Cao Su did not expect such a bad situation to appear under his rule.

Although there are monsters in the wild nowadays, most of them have the instinct of "warding off evil and evil", knowing that in this world, warriors are respected and powerful, so they dare not easily harm them.

Especially in Youzhou Mansion, where Cao Su's first-rank martial artist is in charge, there are no monsters without eyes that dare to provoke him.

As a result, an evil dragon suddenly appeared, which made Cao Su feel a little strange.

"Order Wang Qing to investigate this matter, and there must be no mistakes."

The evil dragon attacked the caravan, and Cao Su promoted the city's development with commerce. Naturally, he didn't want to see the situation he carefully created go wrong. It is relatively safer for Qing to investigate this matter.

After Cao Su replied, he was determined to continue to lead Jingqi to patrol the frontier.

Especially for Li Xingxi's troops, he will further compress their living space in order to achieve the long-term strategic goal of gradually encroaching on and controlling Liaozhou.

Therefore, after Cao Su received this information, he immediately accelerated the progress of the Jingqi patrol.

In a few days, they ran for hundreds of miles and entered the territory of Liaozhou to start a new round of patrolling.

In Liaozhou, Cao Su's troops encountered bandit troops under Li Xingxi's command.

I haven't seen Li Xingxi's army for more than half a year. Today's Li Xingxi's army has completely turned into a group of "bandit soldiers". Not only are the warriors in the team low-level, but most of them are just barbaric acts of burning, killing and looting.

Last year's Li Xingxi's army could at least enforce orders, showing a little bit of a strong military demeanor.

Cao Su quickly defeated Li Xingxi's two small troops on the northern border of Liaozhou, and then divided his army into three. He himself led [-] main forces and marched towards the largest city in northern Liaozhou - the ancient city of Mihe. Yong and Ma Chao each led [-] fine cavalry, leaning on the corner of the main army and the vanguards on the left and right, and released interference signals to Li Xingxi in both directions.

Cao Su himself monitored the sky at all times to see if Li Xingxi, who responded, would take the initiative to investigate.

Li Xingxi did not come, and the army under his command reacted very stiffly after being attacked, allowing Cao Su to drive straight in.

Cao Su was a brave man, and he was not afraid of Li Xingxi setting up an ambush, so he arrived at the ancient city of Mihe very quickly.
-
"My lord, there seems to be something wrong."

Shi Yong and Ma Chao stopped outside the ancient city of Mihe.

The two looked at the city in surprise and waited until Cao Su's arrival.

Cao Su also immediately noticed the strangeness of the ancient city.

This most famous ancient city in Liaozhou is very quiet at noon.

The gate of the city was closed tightly, there was no sound from anywhere, and there was no Sergeant Li Xingxi guarding the top of the city.

Beside Cao Su, An Yang, who was wearing a silver-white battle armor, stared intently.

"something wrong."

Nonsense, of course there is a problem.

Ma Chao was furious, and glared at the masked little guard.

The little guard really doesn't have any discernment, what kind of identity does he dare to talk to here casually?

Anyang is taller than ordinary men, and standing there in battle armor, her gender cannot be discerned, but listening to her carefully, there is still an obvious difference, but at this moment, how can a rough man like Ma Chao have such observation skills, so he patronizes and stares at her. up.

Cao Su frowned. Outside the ancient city of Mihe, he smelled a bloody smell.

"Two days ago, the people we caught said that Li Xingxi was in this city. Could it be that he has run away?"

Shi Yong was also very puzzled, if it wasn't for the soldiers under his command, he would have entered the ancient city first to explore.

But now, even General Zhenbei thinks there is a situation in the ancient city, and no one dares to act rashly.

It can't be an empty city plan, can it?
Cao Su looked at the empty city wall and ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone stay here and don't move. I'll go in and have a look first."

"No, the general is the cornerstone of Youzhou, how can he easily take risks? The subordinates come first."

As soon as Cao Su finished speaking, the dog-legged generals immediately persuaded him, all of them looked very anxious, worried that Cao Su would really rush in directly.

Although Cao Su is the general of Zhenbei, he is also the most powerful of all.

He was worried that there was something unclean in this ancient city, which would spoil his well-experienced elite riders.

The group of people under his hands have gained a lot of experience in this experience. Under the tempering of war and fire, many people have completed the breakthrough of strength.

"I go."

Beside Cao Su, Anyang lowered his voice and volunteered.

The little guard is not afraid of the fear of the unknown, and even took the initiative to go to the ancient city to find out.

This sudden self-awakening made Ma Chao, who was a little dissatisfied, look at him with admiration.

"Nonsense!" Cao Su frowned, "What's the matter with you here?"

Although the relationship between Anyang and him is particularly obvious, the long-term hard work has also led to some fetters and affection between the two, but neither of them is willing to admit it, and Cao Su even refused on the spot. I am willing to let Anyang intervene in this matter.

"Hey?"

Ma Chao just wanted to say, then you go, but he was rejected by Cao Su.

"I feel that this ancient city is a bit weird, and I'm afraid there is danger in the city." Cao Su's eyes gradually lit up with red and purple lights, and looking around, the entire ancient city of Mihe was shrouded in a thick layer of blood evil spirit.

The evil spirit of blood is barely visible, and normal people can only feel that this place is too gloomy and cold, but with Cao Su's supernatural power close by, he can see it more clearly.

"Could it be that Li Xingxi buried himself and did some kind of sacrifice in the city?"

Cao Su was whimsical, thinking that he had encountered such a similar situation when he was in contact with some ascetics.

It's a pity that he didn't bring his ascetics with him on this patrol. Forget about the two brothers Jin Mu Jin Kun, Weng Xiao is also busy with business.

If Weng Xiao was here, he should be able to make a more adequate judgment on this city.

Cao Su withdrew his magical powers, looked at it for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "In history, the ancient city of Mihe was the birthplace of the Eastern Liao Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Eastern Liao Dynasty was too short. It was destroyed not long after the founding of the country. The ancient city of Mihe gradually declined, and until today, it has always been a kind of "border town" feeling."

"Since the establishment of the frontier army in our dynasty, we have also set up a frontier army in the ancient city of Mihe. After the Wanping Rebellion a few years ago, Li Xingxi took advantage of the momentum and defeated the frontier army in the ancient city of Mihe. Therefore, the ancient city of Mihe has always been Li Xingxi is in control."

Cao Su is an official, and has read a lot of history books, so he still has a certain understanding of the ancient city of Mihe.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered Li Xingxi's "King Kong Immortality Magical Art".

Li Xingxi has a great relationship with Hunyuan Temple. Hunyuan Temple is one of the three major powers in Youzhou. There are many eminent monks who have achieved success in cultivation in the temple. Now that Li Xingxi has made such a big commotion in Liaozhou, it seems that the whole The ancient city of Hehe has become "gloomy", and there is no reason for Hunyuan Temple to sit idly by.

When Cao Su thought of this, he immediately burst out laughing.

He has a way.

"You two look here, I'll find a way."

After Cao Su finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to go to Hunyuan Temple to throw the blame on one of the three major forces.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, the ancient city of Mihe suddenly heard a "bang".

Under everyone's gaze, the entire huge wall collapsed as if the sky was falling apart.

boom--

The collapsed wall splashed countless smoke, dust and gravel.

In all directions, it swept over without distinction.

Seeing the billowing smoke and dust, Cao Su shouted and swung his palm directly.

But the amount of smoke and dust was too large, and one palm could only disperse some near him, but most of the smoke and dust could not be dispelled, and soon everyone under his command was included.

Everyone inhaled some particles in the air, and immediately coughed.

For a while, people and horses were all awake.

Cao Su held his breath and focused his gaze towards the direction of the ancient city of Mihe.

I saw a black and lacquered thing appearing in the smoke and dust that could not be seen, standing in front of everyone.

After waiting for a long time, the smoke and dust gradually subsided.

And Cao Su and others finally regained their sight.

Under the dissipated smoke and dust is the collapsed city wall.

Inside the city wall, a huge, black-painted pillar appeared.

That pillar stands in the middle of the ancient city of Mihe. Around this pillar, all the houses have collapsed, and the ground seems to have been bombed, and it is also uneven.

The most astonishing thing is that there are a lot of dried blood around the pillars.

Cao Su narrowed his eyes and looked up along the pillar.

This circular pillar has three broken points, and there are complicated patterns engraved on it. The more and more patterns become more and more complicated as you go to the top, until finally, circles of patterns are engraved on the pillar, making it impossible to see clearly.

The incision on the top of the pillar was also not smooth, and there was even some black liquid flowing out of the top, but halfway through, it was directly imprinted on the whole black pillar.

"Pillar?"

Cao Su moved forward, but the horses under his command suddenly started to foam at the mouth.

Soon he fell to the ground, twitching his limbs, unable to move.

"General, don't take risks."

Ma Chao and others were on duty, so they carefully guarded and stopped Cao Su.

"It's okay."

As soon as Cao Su finished speaking, he saw the soil below the ground suddenly burst open.

Then a big black, thick and powerful hand suddenly grabbed towards his ankle.

The big hand that suddenly appeared under the ground without the help of Cao Su's Xinjian domain sensed it. It had long green hairs on it, and the nails on the fingertips were as long as sharp knives. It didn't look like a normal human palm at all.

When Cao Su didn't notice for a moment, he was grabbed by the ankle by a big hand.

"boom!"

The big hands desperately pulled Cao Su down.

But Cao Su reacted immediately, his body stopped suddenly, and the majestic internal energy was like a great river, urging him to step down suddenly with his iron feet.

boom! ! !
The ground suddenly sank several inches downwards, and the terrifying strength directly destroyed all the puppets who wanted to catch him.

With a sound of "clang", Cao Su drew out his shining long knife.

The long knife slashed downwards, a white light flashed like a horse, and the cold wind gusts.

Pong! ! !
The ground broke open, outlining a deep gap.

There was nothing inside, as if the claw that Cao Su stepped on and split with a knife just now did not exist at all.

Cao Su's face changed slightly, and he looked up at the ancient city again.

In the ears, I gradually heard a slight "shout".

"Let us go!"

"I'm going to die here."
