In one night of cholera, the ancient city of Leiting was ablaze and smoke billowed, and many buildings were turned into ruins in the chaos of war.
Fortunately, the citizens of the city had gone through some storms, and instead of fleeing indiscriminately in the chaos, they gathered together, which did not cause a larger-scale chaos, and also made it easier for the guards to hunt down the mercenaries.
It wasn't until dawn that the chaos gradually calmed down. The mercenaries died and fled.
Nangong Chenyi was very 'angry'. The mercenaries knew that Jinyan City's troops were stationed here, but these mercenaries who didn't know how to live or die dared to come in and burn, kill and loot without any restraint. Yancheng paid attention to it.
Tuwei was very irritable, and patrolled around suppressing his anger. The most worrying thing happened, and it happened right under his nose. The area of Lei Ting Ancient City is very large, and the city wall stretches for hundreds of miles. Many places have been dilapidated and collapsed before coming here. It has not been completely repaired in time, and the city is also dilapidated. Once mercenaries break in, it is likely to cause chaos. Unexpectedly, the one who should come still came, and completely disregarded the threat of the Nangong family.
After dawn, they discovered that there were many mercenaries operating in the wilderness outside the city. It seemed that they had tasted the sweetness and planned to take advantage of the fire to rob at night.
Nangong Chenyi gathered everyone together, and said seriously indignantly: "We must find a way. These mercenaries just saw that the ancient city's defense is weak. If this group gets benefits, it will attract more mercenaries."
Tuwei's face was ugly: "What do they want? How can there be anything worthy of their interest in the ancient city?"
"It should be the caravan of the Huyan family that attracted them!"
"It's possible! They guessed that the caravan sent a lot of treasures."
Qin Ming didn't say a word, just glanced at the people of Nangong's family, his eyes were a little cold.
After an argument, they decided to transfer as much of the guarding force as possible to the city defense, and also asked the guards of the Huyan family to assist.
As for the city lord's mansion, there is no need to deploy too many people, and more troops are stationed to pretend to be a show of momentum, and Niu Dahai is left to sit in charge, and mercenaries generally dare not break into it.
Tu Wei noticed that Qin Ming's face was ugly. "Master, are you going to the city gate, or staying in the city mansion?"
"I'll stay at home, don't worry."
"I'll arrange more people."
"No need, there should be no problem with Senior Niu sitting in charge."
Nangong Chenyi said solemnly: "In this special period, everyone should work together! We must restrain those soldiers, otherwise troubles will be inevitable in the future."
Throughout the day, the atmosphere in the city was tense, and the citizens, both male and female, flocked to the city wall to block as many gaps as possible.
After nightfall, there were many people in the wilderness. It seemed that a lot of mercenaries had come, scattered in different directions, eager to try.
The defenders of the ancient city stood ready and strengthened their patrols in the city wall area, preparing for battle.
Many soldiers were arranged around the City Lord's Mansion, but there were not many people inside, it was dark and quiet.
Li Lingdai was sitting in the room practicing. She was originally a martial artist. She was still at the fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm in her heyday, but when the Qingyun Sect punished the Qin family, she led the crowd to rebel in anger, was severely injured, and was crippled. The cultivation base of the whole body has been sad and exhausted for these years, and he has no intention of cultivating, so he has become this old and weak.
Her current cultivation is tantamount to starting again, but with her foundation and good recuperation, there is still a chance for her state to recover as soon as possible.
In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, the city lord's mansion was quiet, and the ancient city was also very quiet. The mercenaries didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack.
In the back corner of the living room, the stone wall was rippling like the surface of a lake. A face slowly penetrated the stone wall and entered the room. His eyes were as cold as a knife. He observed the room, and after making sure there was no danger, he walked in slowly. The whole person came in so unbelievably, light and floating, like a ghost.
This is a short and thin man, with faint ripples rippling all over his body, which is very wonderful. Every time his toes landed, ripples would appear on the ground, and the ripples on his body would also ripple along with it, as if his whole body was integrated with the earth. He walked silently through the living room, through the stone wall between the living room and the bedroom, and came to the bedroom.
Li Lingdai opened her eyes in surprise: "Who are you? How did you get in?"
"Someone wants to see you!" The short man raised his hand towards Li Lingdai, his whole body rippled violently, ripples appeared on the surface of the stone wall in the entire room, and a strange force surged out of Li Lingdai.
"Who sent you?" Li Lingdai didn't panic.
"I'll find out soon." The man clenched his right hand in the air, and all the ripples on the wall exploded, tightly entangled towards Li Lingdai.
But at this moment, the closet next to her was suddenly opened, and Ye Xiaoxiao rushed out with a cold brow, the golden gun rushed like a thunderbolt, and violently grabbed the man.
someone? The man's complexion changed slightly, and the ripples all returned, wrapping tightly around his body, blending with the stone slabs on the ground, and retreating instantly.
Ye Xiaoxiao exerted all her strength during the attack, flipped over sharply, the spear slammed into the ground with a muffled buzzing sound, the point of the gun slammed into the ground, and a terrifying energy poured straight into the ground, and at the next moment, following Ye Xiaoxiao's Tumbling, the gun body was pulled out forcefully, and even the ground of the whole room exploded and flew.
The man spurted blood, forcibly pulled away from the ground, and retreated quickly: "Falling into the sky! Escape!"
But
No matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than Ye Xiaoxiao's golden gun. There was a muffled puffing sound. Before the golden gun arrived, the light of the gun pierced his chest first, and blood spattered. He fell back violently as if struck by lightning. The gun followed closely, and poof, it really hit the chest cavity, and the strong force pushed him against the wall.
"Wow!" The man spurted blood again, and ripples rippled all over his body again, trying to forcefully melt into the wall and escape.
Ye Xiaoxiao's golden gun turned suddenly, and a burst of extreme golden light exploded in his body, like thousands of golden threads bursting out, piercing through the internal organs of his whole body, killing him on the spot.
The man's eyes were wide open, the ripples all over his body gradually calmed down, and he knelt on the ground weakly, his head drooping.
"Why did you kill him? He hasn't been interrogated yet." Li Lingdai ran over.
"I know him! The secret killer of the Nangong family—Jueying!" Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, and slowly drew out the golden gun.
"Really the Nangong family?!" Li Lingdai was furious.
"Young Master guessed right." Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the corpse on the ground, her eyes almost burst into flames.
Outside the city, the mercenaries in the wilderness are actually Jinyan City's team in disguise. They really attacked last night, and today's mission is just a bluff to contain them.
The defense of the ancient city tonight is very strong, and they dare not rush forward.
As the sky grew brighter, they retreated one after another.
The defenders in the ancient city breathed a sigh of relief, it was so dangerous, they seemed to be calmed down.
The people in the city also breathed a sigh of relief, having been frightened all night.
Everyone was relieved, but Nan Gongchan was in a hurry. Why did the killer he sent disappear? Could there be any accident? But she had clearly monitored Niu Dahai. Apart from him, there was no special strong man in the city mansion.
Nangong Chan and others were anxious. If Jueying really encountered an accident, it meant that the Nangong family might be exposed. Before dawn, she came to the courtyard where the Qin family lived, and stood in the woods to observe quietly. Very quiet, nothing happened.
"What are you looking at?" A voice suddenly came out from the shadow beside him.
Nangongchan fixed her eyes on the past, and with the faint light, she could barely see the person walking there: "Qin Ming? Why are you here?"
Qin Ming walked towards Nangongchan with a smile on his face. "I also want to ask, why are you here?"
"I like to get up early and go for a walk." Nangong Chan chuckled, gentle and quiet, beautiful and elegant.
"I can't sleep either, so come out for a walk."
"What's on your mind?" Nan Gongchan didn't retreat, but instead met Qin Ming's eyes, a bright light flashed deep in the eyes, and the soul-stirring technique was quietly cast.
"Don't bother, it doesn't work for me." Qin Ming smiled and shook his head.
"what?"
"Your soul-stirring technique, to me..." Qin Ming suddenly punched Nangong Chan's lower abdomen heavily. The force was comparable to that of a heavy hammer and wheel. Nan Gongchan was defenseless, bent over fiercely, and staggered back , Qin Ming followed closely, and when she bent over, he grabbed her by the neck, brought it up in front of her, and said coldly: "It doesn't work!"
