Chapter 597 The Legend of Xixi River

This time when I went to Rixin City, my companions and I went straight ahead. As for the reinforcements I brought, I let them slowly follow behind. These are my weapons, and I don’t want to expose them too early.

When we came to Rixin City on the demon king thorn deer, we found that the army of Tianlong City hadn't arrived yet, but the walls of Rixin City were already in full swing, and the entire Rixin City had also entered a state of martial law.

When we got here, it was Yuan Zihong who came out to pick us up in person, and we were able to enter the city.

After entering the city, we went directly to the City Lord's Mansion, and saw him with a smile on his face in the lobby, as if he didn't feel distressed by the invasion of the Tianlong Legion at all.

After saying hello, Zhan Ke moved away from the left and right, leaving only Yuan Zihong, me and my companions in the room.

Zhanke smiled at me and said, "I didn't expect you to work for me so soon, oh no, you are here to help me, thank you very much!"

I smiled and said, "What's the matter, Lord Zhancheng is being polite, but when will Dragon City's army come to kill that day?"

Zhanke said: "I won't come here for a while, they are now stationed in Xixi River!"

Xixi River is a big river [-] miles north of Rixin City, even if Tianlong City's legion wanted to attack Rixin City, they wouldn't camp that far away.

Seeing my puzzled expression, Zhanke said: "Don't be surprised, the lord of Tianlong City is from the prisoner faction, and I'm from the lord of Tianwu. We all have the support of the lord behind us. There may be small frictions, but This kind of large-scale legion war is generally impossible to fight, unless there is some deep hatred between us."

I looked at Zhan Ke and asked: "By the way, I heard that the conflict between you and Tianlong City was caused by me. What's going on, please tell me carefully."

Zhanke said directly: "It's very simple, Prison Ling knew that the killer Zhou Yin was in your innocent crime city, so he asked the old dragon in Tianlong City to wipe out your innocent crime city. At that time, you were still in Wu Ling If the old dragon of Tianlong City were to occupy the city of Wuwangsin, wouldn’t it be his? So I resolutely refused, and said In a word, if he wants to destroy the city of innocent crimes, he must first destroy my city of Rixin."

"Then the conflict between us ended like this."

This Zhanke is still full of truth, I smiled awkwardly and didn't talk to him, but Zhanke looked at Yuan Zihong with a puzzled face and said, "Did I say something I shouldn't have said?"

Yuan Zihong said: "It's okay. City Lord Chen is used to it. With his personality, he doesn't care. You can continue talking about yourself."

Yuan Zihong was too lazy to correct Zhanke.

Zhan Ke was dissatisfied and said: "I want to say something wrong, you have to correct me in time, in case there is any conflict between me and Lord Chen because of those words, that would be bad, even though it is innocent Sooner or later, the city will be mine, but I can't say it..."

"Uh, I mean, we're an ally, an ally!"

The scene became awkward again.

I said: "Master Zhancheng, do you mean that the legion of Tianlong City will not come to attack you? Then can I let my troops not come!"

Zhanke said: "No, it's still coming, the old dragon's reaction is not right, according to the friction between me and him in the past, as long as the Lord of Tianwu and the Lord of Prisoner speak, he should immediately withdraw his troops. Yes, but this time he just stationed troops at Xixi River to suspend his advance, and he didn't intend to retreat, I don't think it's over yet."

I looked at Zhou Yin next to me, then looked at Zhanke and said, "I caused you trouble, by the way, you also know that Zhanke is on my side now, don't you want to arrest him and claim credit for the prisoner? In this case, Tianlong City will definitely withdraw its troops."

Zhanke smiled and said, "Let's not talk about whether I have such strength, even if I have, I will not do that. In my eyes, you are my subordinate, no, you are my friend, my friend's person , even if it takes my life, I won't move."

I smiled at Zhanke and said, "Master Zhancheng, I have a small proposal, I wonder if you would like to listen to it."

Zhanke asked me to speak, and I said, "How about we sworn brothers, I like your character very much, you are older than me, I call you brother, how about you call me brother?"

Zhanke thought for a while and said: "Your lifespan is not long. If you die and I am your elder brother, then your things will become mine, and it will be smoother. Er, I mean, I help It will be smoother if you take care of it, that's good, let's make a vow!"

After all, Zhanke jumped up from the chair, pulled me to the front of the Tianwu Tower, he knelt down and said: "This Tianwu Tower is my belief, how about we worship this Tianwu Tower?"

Naturally, I also knelt down.

Zhanke and I knelt down to the Wu Tower a few times, and we were considered to be sworn brothers.

After sworn in, Zhanke said to me: "Brother Chen, do you know how the scar on the wing on my back came from?"

I shook my head.

Zhanke said: "This is all thanks to the Lord Prisoner. I was one of his most loyal men back then. When he killed those saints in the third race, I always stood by his side. , but what happened in the end, when he was running away, he actually wanted to kill me, and his reason for killing me was really ridiculous!"

I asked why.

Zhanke sneered and said, "Because I didn't follow his order to massacre the family members and fellow countrymen of those saints. If I followed his order, more than 3000 people in that small town would die! Did he know that there were How many are innocent?"

I really didn't expect Prison Ling to have such a ruthless side.

But on second thought, he even killed his own wife, let alone his subordinates?
I sympathized with Zhanke, but he smiled and continued: "I was injured by the prisoner, and the Lord Tianwu happened to pass by and rescued me from the pool of blood, although my wings could never be retracted, but My life and strength were preserved, so from that day on, I swore to be loyal to the Lord of the Heavenly Witch until death, and I built the Heavenly Witch Tower specially for him, and he is my belief."

I nodded to Jack.

Yuan Zihong said from the side: "Our city lord only tells these things to people he trusts, and you are one of the few people who have heard this story."

Speaking of which, Zhanke probably felt that the topic was a bit heavy, so he asked me: "By the way, do you know the legend about the Xixi River in the north?"

I shook my head to show that I didn't know.

Zhan Ke said: "The Xixi River originates from the Divination Mountain, and flows into the Yaozu territory from east to west. It is said that Xixi used to be a very beautiful Yaozu woman. She practiced in the Divination Mountain. Later, she missed her hometown too much. Seriously, so that longing turned into a river flowing from the Divination Mountain to her hometown in the Yaozu - Holy Snake Lake."

I asked curiously, "Then Xixi is a snake demon?"

Zhan Ke said: "That's right, they belong to the Hunyuan Snake Spirit Clan. Because the Hunyuan Snake Spirit Clan was wiped out, all those who survived escaped from the Monster Clan."

I asked again: "Is that Xixi still alive?"

Zhan Ke shook his head and said: "No, it is said that after her thoughts turned into a river, she died. By the way, you should have passed through Divination Mountain last time when you went to Perfect City. The huge turtle-shaped mountain turned out to be The place where you practice every evening."

I really wanted to ask if the Remnant Soul of the Snake King knew about this legend.

It was not the only one who escaped from the Hunyuan Snake Spirit Clan, there were others, maybe the hidden Hunyuan Snake Spirit Clan could be found in other places in the Upper Realm.

When I was thinking about this, Yuan Zihong added: "It is precisely because of this legend that the Xixi River has another name, Missing River."

At this time, Nangong Xiong couldn't help saying: "Xixi River and Missing River, these two names are so beautiful!"

Chai Min also nodded beside them, they were already moved by this story.

We chatted for a while, and Zhanke invited us to a hall where a banquet was already prepared.

After the banquet, the divination staff led us back to our rooms to rest.

Zhanke's City Lord's Mansion has very few servants, but after we stayed here, we found that there were a lot of people entering and leaving the City Lord's Mansion in the past two days. side monks.

They came in and out of the City Lord's Mansion for one thing, the five legions of Tianlong City in the north.

As for the Tianlong City in the north, I have learned something about it in the past two days. That day, the lord of the Dragon City was a giant dragon that could freely transform into a human form. Being stubborn, he slaughtered a human city and was hunted down by the human race, then fled to Utopia and became the city lord of Tianlong City.

It's a real dragon.

The evil dragon's name is Jiujue (Jue), and it is said that in Tianlong City, he feeds on the meat of the three tribes of humans, demons, and the third race every day, and drinks their blood.

And the people he ate were all caught by his subordinates from the other three races. There is even a legend that in the backyard of the Jiujue City Lord's Mansion, there is a huge breeding pen in which many people, demons and animals of the third race are raised. People, he scoops up people from that circle every day when he eats, he likes to eat fresh ones best!

Hearing these legends, I didn't have the slightest liking for the evil dragon, and even wished I could kill it as soon as possible.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and my rune cavalry and the strengthened ballista army are still on the way. According to their marching speed, it will take at least ten days to arrive. This is what I asked, let the cavalry and the luggage go forward together, don't drag distance.

As for my Innocence Legion and Tianhui Legion, I didn't let them come over. My Innocence City still needs to be defended.

At noon that day, I did my midday homework and drew some talismans when I heard Yuan Zihong's voice, saying that Zhan Ke asked us to go to the meeting hall, saying that he had something urgent to discuss with us.

When I got here, I found that apart from Yuan Zihong, there was no other Zhan Ke's subordinates.

But my companion is a lot.

I curiously asked Zhanke what was the matter, and he said: "The Nine Jue Evil Dragon invited me to go to the Xixi River for a decisive battle in half a month. If I don't go to fight, he will cross the river and go down. Really!"
