"Li Ye came back with thousands of monster monks. We only took these monks to intercept them, without Taoist soldiers. Can we really kill him?" After leaving Bianzhou City, Zhu Wen asked He Jingcheng doubtfully.
"There are eight thousand monsters around Li Ye, and we only have three or four thousand Taoist soldiers. There is no chance of winning in a frontal battle. Besides, if there is a big movement, he is easy to detect. If he turns around and runs away, we can do nothing to him."
He Jingcheng said: "Besides, I now have the Xiexie Blood Mill bestowed by the Immortal Emperor, so I can kill Li Ye and his demon monks without using Taoist soldiers at all!"
Zhu Wen frowned, "Even if we only take these monks there, the movement is much quieter, but we may not be able to hide from the opponent's perception halfway. During the march, we must first send scouts to explore the way. As a veteran in the battlefield, Li Ye will Send someone first."
He Jingcheng said with confidence: "Just rest assured, I have a way to avoid his perception, and I can also lure him to appear in front of us automatically, and obediently give him his head!"
...
After returning from the East China Sea, Li Ye took thousands of monster monks and flew all the way in the direction of Pinglu.
Because the cultivation base of the monsters is above the level of real people, it saves a lot of hardships in boats and cars, or it is a very labor-intensive task to solve the problem of eight thousand monsters riding boats and horses.
But it is also because the demons are basically real people, the flying speed is not too fast, and it will take a few days to reach Qingzhou. It has been two or three months since Li Ye left Pinglu, and the government affairs and military affairs have been delayed a lot, so he didn't want to fly slowly with the brigade. After leaving Zhao Batian to lead the team, he himself, Wu You, and the proprietress speeded up.
The hot summer is not over, and the evening sun is also scorching.
Outside a small town on the southern border of Qingzhou, there are several simple tea sheds and restaurants, which serve simple tea and light meals, and the price is much cheaper than the restaurants in the town. Farmers who sell some local products from nearby villages to the city, or small merchants who earn some hard money, will choose to rest and eat here.
At this time, except for the people living in the small town, who hoed back from the crop fields with long shadows, there were basically no farmers walking. However, there are quite a few vendors entering the city, and they all travel around and need to stay in the town for one night.
The dirt road between the tea sheds and restaurants was lightly dusty and seemed a bit lively.
Li Ye, Wu You and others appeared on the road and walked slowly towards the town. When passing by the tea shed restaurant area, Li Ye looked around at these dark-skinned, tired and poor people, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
"Are we going to settle down here today?" Wu You raised his head and asked Li Ye beside him, there was no doubt in Shui Ling's eyes.
Li Ye nodded: "This small town is a bit weird, I don't worry if I don't find out."
Returning to Qingzhou from the Yaozu territory outside the East China Sea, Li Ye's flight route was straight. Of course, there is no need to say much, and he has no reason to detour. The town happened to be in his flight path.
Originally, an ordinary town was not enough to attract Li Ye's attention, let alone make him stop. It's not far from Qingzhou City. With the flying speed of him and Wu You, they can return to the palace in more than an hour, and there is no need to stay overnight in the small town.
However, when approaching this border town, Li Ye smelled an unusual aura, and it was this aura that attracted him to stop.
It was a bloody smell, a very thick bloody smell.
Based on Li Ye's years of experience in fighting in the battlefield, it is easy to judge that without the blood of more than a thousand people, there will be no bloody smell of that level at all.
However, when he stared at the town seriously in mid-air, he didn't find anything unusual. Although the town is not prosperous, it is quite lively with people coming and going. Whether it is the old and young people walking, the people returning from the hoes, or the vendors who open their doors to do business, they all look normal.
There are no traces of mass killings anywhere.
So Li Ye stopped and decided to take a look inside and outside the town.
This is the border of Qingzhou, and the town is still within the territory of Qingzhou, which is under Li Ye's jurisdiction, and the people here are also his subjects. If something happened, he couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Boss, here are three bowls of herbal tea."
Walking into a tea shed, Li Ye sat down on a bench and greeted a wrinkled elderly couple squatting aside. He didn't enter the town rashly, and planned to take a look around first.
The tea shed was very simple, and the roof could not completely block the sunlight. A few beams of golden light fell from the hole, and one of them happened to land on the table in front of Li Ye. The square wooden table has no lacquer surface, and because of the long-term use, the edges and corners have been ground very flat, but it does not look rough.
Wu You and the proprietress also sat down at the table, and the latter looked around curiously. He probably didn't expect that the shop in the mortal world would be so simple, worse than her inn.
The old man got up and went to the small counter to pick up the teapot and tea bowl, poured it on the table for Li Ye and others, then put the teapot down on the table, turned around and went back, and continued to squat beside the old woman.
From the beginning to the end, the old man said that he had nothing to say, and he didn't even look at Li Ye and the others. It seemed that the pressure and embarrassment of life had made him lose interest in everything in his old age.
Li Ye took a sip from the cracked old tea bowl, praised the good tea, smiled and said to Wu You and the proprietress who had not moved, "Don't you two try it?"
Wu You hesitated, lowered her head and took a sip. Although her expression remained tense, her eyes showed bitterness, but she still swallowed the tea bravely. The princess who has been pampered since childhood has never drank such bad tea.
The proprietress turned her head after drinking the tea, and sprayed it all on the ground in one gulp, looking at Li Ye in disbelief: "Can this be called tea? All the tea here is like this? I just go to the mountain to pick two flowers and leaves, It doesn't taste like this, does it?"
Li Ye smiled but said, "You have to tell the boss about these things."
The fox demon looked at the old couple, but saw them squatting there with indifferent faces, maybe they didn't notice the movement on their side, or maybe they didn't bother to pay attention at all. The fox demon knew from their looks that if she had any complaints at this time, the old couple would probably just say "three copper coins, give me the money."
If the fox demon continued to argue a few more words, the other party might raise their voices and accuse them of drinking tea but finding an excuse not to pay them, and would mobilize the surrounding people to embarrass them.
Li Ye looked at the road outside the tea shed, the sky was already dark, but there were still many pedestrians, and there seemed to be no end to the lotus hoe farmers returning from the crop fields. Most of the diners in the shops looked blank, while the proprietors were as indifferent as the old couple, as if they owed them all who came to eat.
Is it indifference or arrogance
"Have you finished drinking? I really admire that you can drink this kind of tea. Let's go after drinking it. After tasting the tea here, I don't even have the intention to go to town." The fox demon said to Li Ye very disappointed.
"I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to leave now." Li Ye said lightly.
Wu You immediately looked alert, and the fox demon was startled, "Why?"
Li Ye did not answer the fox demon, but looked at the old couple squatting aside, and said to them: "I don't know why you haven't taken action, maybe you are waiting for something to wait for, but if you don't act, I will It’s about to strike first.”
When the old couple heard Li Ye's words, their expressions finally changed, and a look of surprise appeared on their indifferent faces. The two of them looked at each other, stood up together in silence, and their cloudy eyes also became sharp at this moment, like sharp swords out of their sheaths, staring closely at Li Ye.
However, the two of them only put on a response posture, and did not act rashly. They didn't even emit fluctuations in their cultivation bases, and they didn't even use their magic weapons. They were obviously still hesitating, or they were sticking to a certain order.
"It's really not straightforward." Li Ye shook his head.
While speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and stroked the teacup on the table, and shot at the old couple!
The tea bowls were just the most common tea bowls, how could they withstand the power of Li Ye's spiritual energy, they all burst in mid-air and turned into countless pieces.
The aura engulfed these debris, like hundreds of tiny flying swords, covering the old couple like a torrential rain.
The expressions of the old couple changed drastically, and they could no longer hide their identities, and their figures retreated abruptly.
At the same time, spiritual lights flickered around the two of them. The original coarse linen shirts disappeared and were replaced by fairy cassocks, and their wrinkled faces returned to normal. The two of them held long swords in their hands and waved them with their arms. Circles of fish scale-like sword light splashed out as they whispered, laying sword nets in front of them.
The scraps of the tea bowl collided with the sword light curtain, making a tinkling sound, and the tiny aura exploded on the sword curtain one after another, just like the splashes caused by the rainstorm falling on the surface of the lake, beautiful and full of strength.
However, Jian Guang did not completely block the flying spirit energy, and many debris still penetrated the curtain, piercing the two immortals. In an instant, streaks of blood burst out, and gorgeous flowers bloomed in the air.
The aura dissipated, and blood sprayed the dirt floor behind the two immortals, the furthest one was more than ten steps away from them. They fell to their knees one after another, and fell straight forward again.
The shock caused the tea shed restaurant area outside the town to explode.
The man picking vegetables overturned the vegetable basket, the chef in charge of the spoon tore off his apron, the diners threw away their bowls and chopsticks, the returning farmers threw away their kitchen utensils, and the walking vendors threw away their goods.
They moved quickly, but behaved calmly, and none of them fled in disorder.
They burst out with the powerful cultivation of the fairyland, and the camouflage on their bodies was instantly removed.
The roof of the tea shed and restaurant was overturned, and the thatch flew wildly above the head, driving away the last rays of the setting sun. Their figures passed through it like ghosts, advancing or retreating or sweeping sideways from different directions, and surrounded Li Ye and others in the setting sun.
After Li Ye killed the two immortals, he stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, without moving a step, without moving a single finger, watching the immortals rushing and darting, as if he was facing an enemy.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes full of contempt.
The immortals stood at their respective points, staring at Li Ye with stern expressions, but none of them made a move rashly. It was as if standing in front of them was not a mortal monk who only had a fairyland, but a majestic venerable in the fairy garden.
Li Ye's past achievements made these immortals who were arrogant and never looked down on mortal ants willing to let go of their sense of superiority and deal with it cautiously. And before the leader shows up and gives the order, he will never step forward to seek death.
Their leader is He Jingcheng.
He Jingcheng is now slowly flying out of the small town.
Beside He Jingcheng, there were Zhu Wen and more than ten immortals.
Even with the Xiexie Blood Mill in his hand, even if Li Ye was already surrounded, He Jingcheng, who arrived later, did not dare to put himself alone in Li Ye's sight, he had to be guarded by his side.
Li Ye glanced at He Jingcheng and Zhu Wen, without the slightest surprise, as if he had expected the other party to appear.
He chuckled: "It took so much effort to lure the lonely king here, and arrange people to pretend to be ordinary people to confuse the lonely king. Such a cautious and well-planned style of action is not in line with the noble status and toughness that you immortals have always advertised. Do it. The lonely king still remembers that when the first immortal appeared in front of me, he killed him right away. Why have you become more and more cowardly? This really disappointed the lonely king."
"Li Ye! Don't be arrogant! Since you know that we have a plan to lure you here, you should understand that at this moment, you have become a turtle in a urn and a dead end!"
