Chapter 286 Sword Heart City

This night is destined to be an unforgettable night.

That night, the base camp of six of the nine northern families in Chang'an Mansion was attacked by unknown persons, and all six manors were destroyed. There were few casualties, but heavy losses.

What was even more uncomfortable was that the heads of the six families rushed to their manor one after another and witnessed all this with their own eyes.

The most painful thing in the world is to watch one's own home being destroyed but being powerless.

In the early morning of the next day, the heads of the eighteen families from the north and the south gathered together, watching Na Mu Chang'an who was sleeping soundly on the screen, finally relented and called him.

"Mr. Mu, I think we can have a talk."

An hour later, Mu Changan sat in this conference room, but the screen disappeared.

"We hope this matter can come to an end." Wang Zhentian, the Patriarch of the Wang family, dragged his injured body to resist the meeting room, staring at Mu Changan with a gloomy face. Shoot to death.

"What do you mean?" Mu Changan took out a lollipop from his pocket, opened it, put it in his mouth, and asked suspiciously.

"Mr. Mu, I don't say dark words. The two companies under your company will lift all restrictions today and can continue to operate normally. In exchange, we hope that the attack like last night can stop here." Gou Chengcai faced Said expressionlessly.

Compared with Wang Zhentian, he actually has a lot of resentment towards Mu Changan, but he is good at hiding, so that people can't see what is in his heart.

"Last night's attack? Why didn't I know?" Mu Changan said with a confused face.

Seeing his appearance, the [-] patriarchs from the north and the south looked at each other. Finally, Emperor Hippo signaled his personal female secretary to turn on the projector and replay the video of the attack that was taken last night.

In the video, a masked man in black came at a high speed, and a building collapsed immediately with a palm, screaming in terror, and the man in black continued to destroy, and finally the flames burst into the sky, shouting, anger One sound.

It wasn't until the manor was completely buried under the fire that the projection went dark, and the line of sight returned to the meeting room.

"I didn't do it. I went back to the hotel after fighting in the nightclub last night." Mu Changan replied honestly like a good baby.

Didn't you do it?
This statement must be believed!
Now the heads of the [-] families in the north and south are no longer in the mood to continue playing riddles with Mu Changan. They exchanged eye contact, and Emperor Hippo said: "Whether you did it or not, our sincerity has already been achieved. I invite you to come here today to take the initiative to talk to Mu Changan." You make this matter clear, I hope you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind. I'm very happy. Thank you all for releasing my company. Thank you. How about this? It's almost noon, or I will be the host. How about a hot pot? ?" Mu Changan smiled, bowed his hands, and thanked him very sincerely.

Patriarchs of the Eighteen Families in the North and South: "..."

Naturally, they would not want to have this hot pot meal with Mu Changan, what would happen if they were choked to death.

No one accepted Mu Changan's invitation, and he was not angry, and left with a satisfied expression.

Take out your mobile phone and re-download the Hippo travel software to purchase tickets.

Now the network is fine.

The plane is also out of trouble and repaired.

The driver of the hippopotamus did not say that he would not run long distances...

On the same day, Evergreen Pharmaceuticals resumed normal business.

The Spirit Pet Research Group has also started selling spirit beast eggs online.

Anyway, everything suddenly changed for the better.

"The world is still so beautiful, and the air is still so clear."

……

In another world, on Cursed God Continent, the passage team led by Hong Ling ran into trouble.

"Deacon Red, we are about to arrive at Jianxin City. According to the report from the spies ahead, the walls of Jianxin City are still intact, and there are people guarding the city gate!"

On a small hillside, Shui Baining was reporting to Hong Ling what was going on ahead.

Hong Ling suddenly became the commander-in-chief this time, and Sect Master Mu personally sealed the position of deacon of the Fengyue Sect. All disciples of the Fengyue Sect must obey her orders.

Unfortunately, I don't know if Hong Ling saw that the four inner sect disciples were unhappy, so he directly transferred them to the front line as spies, scouting the road ahead all day. It would damage the reputation of Fengyue Sect's inner disciples, if they didn't dare to resist, Shui Baining would have protested twice.

Hong Ling once crossed [-] miles from Yongle City to Qiuchuyuan, and she is actually familiar with the road conditions. However, some parts of the road she took were not suitable for road construction, so she specially redesigned the route plan, and this Jianxin City It is one of them.

She had heard about Jianxin City, but she didn't go in when she turned to Qiu Chuyuan. She just heard that the city was not destroyed, and she knew very little about the situation inside.

Since he didn't know the situation of Jianxin City, he had to send someone to inquire about it.

"Shui Baining, Jiuchi, Xia Yuan, Dugu Changjian, I ordered the four of you to enter Jianxin City to investigate the situation, and you must understand all the data in Jianxin City!" Hong Ling came without even thinking .

If you want to say who is the best in this army, it is naturally the four disciples of the inner sect.

First of all, the strength is high, and you are not afraid that you will not come back when you send it out.

Secondly, he is the number one dog leg under Mu Changan's command, so he is naturally handy to use.

"Red Deacon..." Shui Baining hesitated, trying to refuse this task.

"Huh?" Hong Ling frowned, and asked with an unfriendly expression, "What? Want to disobey?"

"Of course I don't dare, disciple will go now." Shui Baining hurriedly cupped his hands, and turned to leave after saying yes, the three people behind Xia Yuan also bowed their hands to accept orders, turned and left.

They are more sensible than Shui Baining, knowing that they can't do anything, they directly choose to obey.

Looking at their leaving backs, Hong Ling snorted disdainfully: "The four big lackeys of Chu City, don't think that you can't recognize you if you sneak into the old lady of Fengyuezong!"

It's a pity that the four of Shui Baining didn't hear this sentence, otherwise they don't know how they would feel in their hearts.

Under the gate of Jianxin City.

The four of Shui Baining stood here, looking at the tall city wall and the guards under the city wall, hesitantly stopped.

"Junior Brother Jiu Chi, why don't you go in and take a look first?" Shui Baining swallowed and asked.

Hearing the words, Nine Chi clasped his hands together, and whispered: "Senior brother, the worst thing that junior brother is good at is inquiring about news, let senior brother Xia Yuan go."

Xia Yuan waved his hands quickly when he heard the words, and said: "I have been to Jianxin City a few times before, if I go in to inquire about the news, I will inevitably meet someone I know well, won't I have exposed my whereabouts by then? Or let Junior Brother Dugu go."

Dugu Changjian heard the words, and said coolly: "I can only kill people."

It's true, Dugu Changjian doesn't talk much on weekdays, and it's even more unrealistic to expect him to inquire about news.

So the three of them looked at Shui Baining again.

If you want to say who is the most suitable to inquire about the news, it is undoubtedly Shui Baining.

"Why don't we go together." Shui Baining thought that the left and right could not escape, so he simply dragged them into the water together. Anyway, if something happens, there will be a helper to improve safety.

In the end, the dead four walked towards Jianxin City together.

"Stop! Where did they come from!" The guards at the city gate saw that the four of them were about to enter Jianxin City, and asked with a clang as they drew out their long swords and pointed at them.

"We are adventurers, it's getting late, and we want to go to the city and find an inn to rest." Shui Baining greeted him with a smile, and said with an excuse.

"Jianxin City has been occupied by our Jianxin Sect, we don't accept outsiders, leave quickly!" The city gate guards directly rejected Shui Baining's request to enter the city.

Sword Heart Sect?
Does this sect exist?

Shui Baining turned his head and glanced at Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan understood, and explained in a low voice: "Jianxinzong is a seventh-rank sect in Jianxin City. , and named this city Jianxin City."

It turned out to be the seventh-rank sect entrenched in the city!
This surprised Shui Baining and the others.

Perhaps seeing that Shui Baining was at a loss, Xia Yuan had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "I am Xia Yuan, the nineteenth prince of Daxia, and I have some connections with Jianxinzong's master Jianshisan..."

"What about Thirteen Swords and Fourteen Swords!" Before Xia Yuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party, and said impatiently: "The current suzerain of our Sword Heart Sect is Jian Wuxin, not Jian Shisan. And I don't care who you are, a dozen or so princes of the Great Xia, now that your spiritual energy is exhausted, even if Emperor Xia comes, it will be useless, get out of here quickly, or don't blame us for being rude!"

Well, the status of Prince Daxia doesn't even work.

"This little brother, I wonder if I can be tolerant..." Shui Baining suddenly had ten more spirit stones in his hand, and wanted to hand them over.

"Let's go, let's go! Let alone ten spirit stones, even a hundred, even a thousand spirit stones will not work!"

The four of Shui Baining looked at each other, but had no choice but to retreat.

"Strange, why didn't people go in?" On the way back, Shui Baining frowned and said.

"I always feel that this city is a bit weird." Dugu Changjian couldn't help but speak.

"The guards just now looked flustered. They obviously didn't want us to enter the city. It seems that there must be some unknown secrets in this city." Jiu Chi clasped his hands and said.

Xia Yuan frowned slightly, and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

The group quickly returned to the small hill, and Hong Ling had been waiting for a long time. Seeing them coming back, he hurriedly asked, "How is it? Have you found any news?"

Shui Baining shook his head and said: "Deacon Huihong, we were stopped by the guards outside Jianxin City, no matter what method we used, we were not allowed to enter."

After finishing speaking, Shui Baining told Hong Ling all about what happened just now.

After hearing this, Hong Ling also looked puzzled. There are still people blocking the city to prevent outsiders from entering these years?

impossible!

Even if it is a black-hearted city lord, it is right to open the city gate to lure people in, and then kill people and steal money inside.

But this operation of directly driving people away has never been seen before.

We must know that in the era when spiritual energy is exhausted, population has become an important measure of whether a city can develop, especially each population may carry a large number of treasures, such as spiritual stones, which are completely gold ingots.

"Deacon Hong, my subordinates think that there must be some unknown secrets hidden in this city. Do you want to report this matter to Sect Master Mu? Let him decide?" Xia Yuan said in a deep voice.

"A mere Jianxin City is going to find Mu Changan?" Hong Ling looked surprised, shaking his head and said, "I don't care about any secrets in this Jianxin City. Our goal is not to occupy this city, but We need to open up the road ahead. Since they won't let us in, we won't go in, so let's go on and tell the follow-up paving craftsmen to speed up their progress tonight, and we must arrive at Jianxin City tomorrow!"

"Deacon Hong, we don't know the internal situation of Jianxin City right now. What if the paving vanguard arrives and is attacked by the forces in Jianxin City!" Xia Yuan asked with a frown. He didn't agree with Hong Ling's statement. Because this behavior is relatively reckless, you must know that most of the craftsmen who pave the road are not very strong, and it is difficult to parry when encountering danger, and it is easy to suffer heavy damage.

"It doesn't matter, just do as you are told. The purpose of this deacon is to draw out the power in Jianxin City." Hong Ling said confidently.

Seeing this, the four naturally couldn't say anything, so they obediently took orders and went down to report.

At night, the paving pioneer began to speed up the progress. It was not very far away, and the damage to this road was extremely slight. It only needed to fill in the small holes. Therefore, it quickly arrived outside Jianxin City, all the way towards the city. go west.

The sound at night was particularly clear. The huge paving project obviously attracted the attention of Jianxin City. Many white figures gradually appeared on the city gate. Under the light on the city wall, they looked quite strange.

In the tent at the center of Paving Road, Hong Ling looked at Jianxin City with squinted eyes, and the four inner disciples standing behind him.

"What do you think these people are doing by locking themselves in the city every day?"

The four of them shook their heads when they heard the words, which made it impossible for them to guess.

"During the day, my disciples went to inquire. According to the city gate guards, the current master of the Jianxin Sect is named Jian Wuxin, but in the impression of the disciples, I remember that the masters of the Jianxin Sect are all in the name of ranking. Make Sword Thirteen." Xia Yuan still had some understanding of Sword Heart Sect, and expressed his doubts.

"You mean that if Jian Shisan dies, the current head of the Jianxin Sect should be called Jian Shisi, not Jian Wuxin?" Hong Ling immediately found something and asked.

Xia Yuan nodded, and said: "Exactly, this is an unwritten rule in Jianxin Sect. Since the founding of Jianxin Sect, the suzerains of all dynasties will consciously abide by it. It is reasonable to say that there will be no change in the future... ..."

"This Jianxin City is really becoming more and more curious..." Hong Ling narrowed his eyes, looked at the Jianxin City in the distance, and said meaningfully.

"Red Deacon, the road paving is progressing smoothly. Since the road is well preserved, we have completed repairs. Do you want to choose to build an outpost here?" Someone came to report the road paving progress.

"Rebuild it again, and build it slowly, and build the sentry tower too, but build it slowly." Hong Lingruo instructed meaningfully.

When the four people behind heard the words, they were taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Deacon Hong had become interested in Jianxin City, and they wanted to find out!
