Tonkel grabbed hold of the old man Erle in front of him, lifted him up, and said to Erle, "Sir, I'm sorry." After saying that, he got on his horse, and with a sound of driving, the men and horses shot towards the big man like arrows. In the darkness of the prairie.
Although there were sounds of pursuit behind them, they were not as dense as before.
Cui Jixiu, Erle and others all looked at the sky and sighed. A good opportunity to kill Tonkel was missed.
After a while, Tonkel had arrived at the meeting point agreed with Yi Jing.
Next to the bushes on a hillside, Yi Jing flew back with a wild game. It was roasted so fragrantly that the drinker's mouth watered.
Tonkel took a bag of milk wine from the saddle of the robbed horse, took a sip himself, and then handed the wine to Yi Jing.
Yi Jing took a big sip to strengthen his sword of extreme soul, and divided the meat to eat. The two of them ate with relish. Yi Jing wiped the grease from his mouth and said to Tonkel, "I was hurt badly. Damn it, it unleashed the potential of martial arts in advance. It has such big side effects."
Tonkel said, "I killed several people, and after Cui Jixiu, Erle, the great counselor under the throne of King Yichongtian of Xingcheng, came. In the end, I took advantage of the opportunity to escape. Otherwise, today will belong to you and me. end."
Tonkel was stunned when he heard this, "I have also heard of Erle's name. It is said that his ranking under the throne of Xingcheng is not under the Qinglong King."
Tonkel nodded and said, "Luckily, his name is very famous. Otherwise, if it were the other people among the Eight Shows in Xingcheng, Cui Jixiu might have sacrificed them in order to achieve the purpose of capturing or killing me alive." .”
Yi Jing nodded silently, as if there was something on his mind.
Torn Cole said, "What are you thinking about."
Yi Jing lit up the fire and added a handful of firewood, "I can't tell, maybe. King Xingcheng has already assembled a large number of troops and is on standby. We are just waiting for his order to attack our Luocheng."
Tonkel shook his head and said, "Luo City is now impregnable. He can conquer it just by fighting. However, you singled out King Qinglong and killed him, which indeed gave King Xingcheng a perfect excuse to send troops."
Yi Jing said fiercely, "It seems that we have won by killing the martial spirit leader under King Xingcheng. In fact, I won the face and lost the lizi. Xingcheng is their territory. All rumors will naturally be correct. The king of Xingcheng, Yi Chongtian, is in an advantage, but it is not in my favor, Yi Jing. A good boy, he is really good at catching wind and shadows, but he is not the top. I, Yi Jing, must learn from this skill. In the future, I will use it to unjustly accuse other opponents who are fighting for hegemony."
After finishing the barbecue, Tonkel took another sip of wine, lying comfortably on the grass slope, looking at the starry sky on the grassland, and said calmly, "This time, although we have found the whereabouts of the Kyushu God Beggar, we have also stabbed him. We've fallen into a hornet's nest. With King Xingcheng's personality, he will definitely react to the death of King Qinglong. It's best for us to return to Luo City immediately and send a large number of detective horses to detect the movements of Xingcheng Wuhun Legion. It’s always better to be prepared, don’t you think?”
Yi Jingshen thought it was right and said, "Good brother, thank you for your hard work. We will stay here for one night and return to the city immediately tomorrow."
"Well, that's all we can do. Now Xingcheng and Hecheng are looking for us. Although with our skills, it's not difficult to sneak in. But the risk is too great. Don't make up your mind to see Master Jiuzhou God Beggar again. That’s it. But I’m curious about what means King Xingcheng will use to retaliate against us. What do you think?”
"He would never have the guts to send troops to attack Luo City. The evil spirit sect's martial spirit legions are resting around Luo City. King Xingcheng naturally also knows why Huangque is behind.
If he sends troops, he will fight with our Luo City Wuhun Army. When both sides suffer. That's when the Evil Sect Legion showed up to collect the results of victory.
As a veteran of the military, our Fairy Yushu praised him as an outstanding figure like a god general in the sky. If Yi Chongtian doesn't have this vision. There is no need to hang around in Wuhun Continent. Go home early and sell sweet potatoes. "
Tonkel hugged his belly and laughed, "Yes, there is more."
Yi Jing continued, "But the commander-in-chief died without raising troops to retaliate. This is not the style of King Xingcheng. So he will definitely take action. The target may not be us, but it is related to our Luocheng. Other city-states. For example, the City in the Sky, which has long been regarded as a treasure by King Xingcheng, will most likely become the target of enemy attacks."
Tonkel remained silent. He had no doubts about Yi Jing's guess. All because he and Yi Jing were no longer the two ignorant gangsters outside Kyoto.
After these few years of hard work, both Yi Jing and Tonkel have become more capable. He has already become an all-rounder who can fend off powerful enemies on his own. Has rich experience in dealing with enemies.
At this moment, I was somewhat shocked when I suddenly heard Yi Jing analyzing the possibility of the enemy attacking the Sky City.
"The Sky City is in chaos now, and it is indeed easy for others to take advantage of it. However, if King Xingcheng dares to touch the Sky City, Xie Zong and you will not agree first. Will he take this concern into consideration?"
Yi Jing patted Tonkel on the shoulder, "Maybe I am paranoid, but King Xingcheng is like me. He is the kind of strong man who is not afraid of taking risks. This is not that I am putting money on my face. In fact, these Over the years, with the support of Xuanzong, King Xingcheng took the opportunity to harvest many city-states. His power has been growing silently.
With Shaolong Temple and Saintess Sect supporting him, there is nothing King Xingcheng dares to do. The evil sect forces in the Sky City. Of course Xuanzong will deal with it. And our chances of intervening in the Sky City are very slim. Even if it were me, Yi Jing, I would be excited to have Sky City under my command. The Xingcheng Wuhun Legion is attacking the Sky City at the right time. The older I get, the more I think the enemy would do this. "
Tonkor shrugged his shoulders coolly, "You have more experience in this area than I do. At most, whatever you say will be what you say. That being said, how about we go to the City in the Sky tomorrow."
Yi Jing said happily, "I was afraid that you would not agree, so it looks like we will have another lively event in the Sky City. That's it."
The two discussed it for a while and then fell asleep.
They rode two horses and set off at dawn the next day. At three o'clock in the morning on the third day. Turn the land route into a water route, board a docked ship, and head towards the City in the Sky.
There is a river stretching to the sky, with horizontal lines on both sides of the river bank. The scenery is so beautiful and beautiful that the two of them stood on the deck and lingered.
Yi Jing's eyes stopped at the palaces on both sides of the Tongtian River.
The roofs of the temple that emerge from the willows are very beautiful facing the rising sun.
Some of these palaces are still temples, and the tops of Taoist temples reflect each other from afar. So beautiful. The suburbs of Sky City are filled with an illusion of returning to ancient times. Yi Jing and Tonkel seemed to have entered the Wuhun Dynasty period, with smiles on their faces.
"Well, I really didn't expect the scenery here to be so good."
The boatman was steering the helm and said, "Sir, you are new to the City in the Sky. Our City in the Sky was established more than a thousand years ago. But since the death of the late emperor, The world is in chaos, and the Wuhun Continent has never stopped fighting. Even the City in the Sky, hey, is not immune to this fate. Being affected by the war. If I had come to the City in the Sky thirty years ago, it would have been called entering the city. It’s beautiful.”
Yi Jing became more interested and asked the boatman with a smile, "Old man, you said the Sky City is beautiful. What exactly is so beautiful about it."
"Hey, it's majestic. The buildings in the city are lined up in rows. In addition, there are more than a dozen temples extending from the "Sky Tower" to the "Tongtian Palace." Compared with the imperial palace in Kyoto City, they are not even more impressive. Just like what the young man said just now. As soon as I entered the Sky City, I immediately felt that I had entered the ancient Wuhun Dynasty hundreds or thousands of years ago, which was particularly interesting. "
They both looked happy when they heard what he said was interesting. Yi Jing rewarded the boatman with some soul coins and asked him to move the boat faster. I can’t wait to go to the city to see it first.
After walking for about three hours, the outlines of various large and small buildings in the Sky City became increasingly clear.
Suddenly, a burst of gongs and drums sounded in front of him.
Suddenly a large boat appeared on the water, blocking the path of the small boat.
The boat has a shallow draft, but is flexible in movement. But with the big ship crossing most of the Tongtian River, it couldn't get around it.
Hearing the sound of gongs and drums, Tonkel snatched out of the cabin, thinking something big had happened.
When he came to the deck, he found that Yi Jing was already observing the situation of a giant ship lying on the river.
The old man on the boat looked sad, "These killers are here again."
Tonkel squeezed Yi Jing's shoulder, and Yi Jing immediately said, "Needless to say, we encountered water bandits."
"Water pirate? Hehe, it's time to take action. Mr. Yi, have you recovered your martial soul power?"
Yi Jing slapped his chest with great force and said with a smile, "Don't worry, after a day's rest yesterday. All the unsmooth soul veins have been smoothed out. The power of the martial soul is stronger than before. , and even stronger.”
While the two were talking, the small boat had already sailed to the side of the big ship under the influence of coherence. The big ship was like a monster lying on the river, swallowing up the small boat. As soon as the shadow fell, it really gave people the feeling of being crushed.
A dozen big men immediately walked out of the giant ship. Every big man carries a bright knife in his hand. Watching a small boat approaching the big ship involuntarily, they became their "prisoners." They all laughed and pointed at the people on the small boat, which was extremely disrespectful.
Two of the scarred men were on the deck constantly directing the ship to turn around. It is very convenient for them to board the boat.
