"Stop whoever comes!"
"This is a restricted area of the military camp. No one is allowed to pass through without permission!"
At the base of the Fashan Army, at the foot of a long staircase in a meeting hall, in the wind and snow, two armored soldiers holding long spears stopped a figure walking quickly.
The man was wearing armor, his eyebrows and beard were gray, and he had a wisp of goatee. He looked like a veteran. He walked as fast as the wind, grasping the corner of his cloak at the side and pulling it back to shake off the snow.
"I am Gongsun Yang of the Ninth Mountain."
"I want to see Commander Pei!"
The person who came was the storyteller Gongsun Yang, who was assigned to Sichuan Pass as Chen Yuan's front-line eyes and hands!
He usually lives in seclusion in the Shanhai Pass and does not attract attention. Only a few core figures guarding the Shanhai Pass know his identity.
The soldier outside the door obviously did not recognize this "veteran", and the armor on his body was just ordinary blue armor, so he frowned.
But when he heard the name "Ninth Mountain", he hesitated for a moment and said, "I will go and inform them. Your Excellency, please wait here. The commander is discussing matters with several generals."
"Make way!"
But before he could finish his words, a voice was heard, and a soldier in blue armor walked out of the hall quickly, with a sword on his waist in one hand, and walked down the stairs. He blocked the long spear and clasped his fists, "Mr. Gongyang, the commander asks you to move to the side hall, please follow me!"
"Trouble!" Gongsun Yang nodded, his tone serious.
The soldier in green turned around and led the way to the side hall, and Gongsun Yang followed.
Soon, the two arrived at the side hall. The soldier stopped in front of the door, turned around and clasped his fists, "Mr. Gongsun, please come in. The commander will be here soon."
Gongsun Yang thanked him and walked in, and then the door was closed.
The hall seemed rather deserted. Gongsun Yang did not find a place to sit down. Instead, he frowned and paced back and forth, appearing to be troubled.
At this time, in the hall next door, the fire basin was crackling. Pei Yanhu summoned five generals to discuss matters and sat in front of the hall.
The Sixth Shanzhonglang General was explaining military affairs, standing beside a chair with his hands folded in front of his chest.
"The scouts we sent out reported last night that they discovered a large number of demon activities outside Zhennan Prefecture a few days ago, so we sent people to sneak into the prefecture to investigate the exact movements of the demons. However, we have either lost contact or have not found any useful information. Commander, it seems we have to prepare early..."
Pei Yanhu sat in the first seat in front of the hall with a solemn expression. At this moment, the blue-clothed soldier who had led the way just now turned back into the hall, controlled the sound, and quickly came to stand beside Pei Yanhu's seat, his lips moving slightly.
Pei Yanhu nodded, his eyes fell on the several Zhonglang generals below, and then he spoke,
"We'll discuss this later. I need to go see someone first!"
"Just a moment."
Having said that, he stood up and strode to the back of the hall. Several lieutenant generals looked at him, then at each other, somewhat puzzled as to who was coming that the commander took him so seriously.
Pei Yanhu walked with great vigor and soon came to the side hall from the side door of the back yard of the main hall, where he saw Gongsun Yang pacing in the hall.
"Mr. Ram!"
"What happened?"
When Pei Yanhu saw Gongsun Yang, he also called him "Sir", even though the man's cultivation level was only at the Tianguan Dao seed level.
Because Chen Yuan had specifically told him about the background of this storyteller before he left. This person's cultivation method is unique and very important to Chen Yuan. He was left here by Chen Yuan as a chess move, which could play an unexpected role when necessary.
Few people knew his identity, and Pei Yanhu had deliberately concealed it. If there was any news, he would let trusted people around him inform him, or go there in person. He would not summon this storyteller to a place where there were many people.
Just like the council chamber!
The other party came to him at this time on his own initiative, obviously there was something going on, and it was not a small matter.
Pei Yanhu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he walked quickly forward from behind the hall!
When Gongsun Yang saw this, he stopped, stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said straight to the point, "Commander Pei, my master suddenly awakened his clone just now and sent a message to me, saying that he needs your help! He is in another place now."
"Where is your general?" Pei Yanhu raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled.
"The Hundred Thousand Mountains, the territory of Luwu Mountain!"
When Pei Yanhu heard the news, his eyes widened, "What?"
He even suspected that he had heard it wrong!
Gongsun Yang also knew that the news was shocking, and he quickly stated the reason that the adults had told him.
Five days ago, he informed Chen Yuanchuan that the demons outside Zhongguan were ready to make a move. Later, the general transferred troops to prepare for the southeast front, and a series of events happened as he passed through Qingshan County.
Pei Yanhu's pupils trembled after listening to Gongsun Yang's statement.
The demon who betrayed the human race sacrificed his soul and summoned the Ten Evil Demons to come, but was stopped by Chen Yuan who led his troops to kill them. As a result, the Dragon and Tiger Demons were implicated, and thus they entered the transmission channel and finally fell into the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"Tell me, what does your general need me to do?" Pei Yan's eyes flashed with brilliance, his tone a little hurried.
Chen Yuan must not get into trouble. After the incident at Tianxiong Pass, he has been the backbone of many soldiers. "My Lord needs to order you to send people to the outside of the pass to investigate the movements of the demons and find out which demons have opened the teleportation array. Then my Lord can find a way to teleport out of the mountain."
"In addition," Gongsun Yang explained the mission that the master had told him word for word, "The master asked the commander if the Daofusi had a geographical distribution map of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The master is trying to get rid of the demon blockade, and this map will be of great use to him. If there is one, let me pass it on to him!"
"The geographical distribution map of the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
“Yes!” Pei Yanhu’s expression changed. “There is a copy of the manuscript sealed in the Fusi Armory. It has been passed down for many years. It is rumored that it was left behind by a great master who sealed these monsters. Successive generations of mountain-cutting troops also participated in improving it. However, the mountain-cutting troops have declined and are no longer useful. It has been gathering dust in the armory.”
"Good!" Gongsun Yang's face brightened up. He felt relieved after solving a problem.
"I will send a message back to Jinguan City immediately."
"What else did your general say?" Pei Yanhu continued to ask, concerned about Chen Yuan's safety.
Gongsun Yang followed Chen Yuan all the way, knowing that this person had helped you, so he raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Yanhu:
"My Lord has asked me to inform the commander. Please be prepared. If my Lord makes a move, it will probably be a bloody battle!"
"Let us prepare our troops and horses, and wait for the right time!" Pei Yanhu's face was shocked, and bloodshot eyes crawled through his eyes, "Okay!"
He dreamed of counterattacking and avenging his dead comrades and his son.
"This envoy will send people to find out the movements of the demons and the situation of the teleportation array at all costs."
"Go down and do what your general has told you to do."
"Yes!" Gongsun Yang bowed, turned and left the side hall. After he left for a while, a silver light flew up from a corner yard of the Fashan Army's base.
Pei Yanhu returned to the meeting hall and gave orders to the five Zhonglang generals under him.
"Other military affairs will be discussed later. Now, follow my orders."
"Pass the order down. At all costs, find out the latest movements of the demons in Zhennan Prefecture, Huxia Pass, and Jingyuan Prefecture. Also send an urgent message of 800 miles to the southeast to help find out the demons in other directions. Find out which demon tribes have appeared in large numbers and investigate where their teleportation arrays are. Once there is any news, send someone to deliver the message immediately!"
"Also, a bounty notice will be issued in the city for this mission. Anyone who finds out the situation of a demon clan transmission channel will receive a bounty of 500 jin of Tianguan Dao Fruit, demon flesh and blood, and a drop of the essence of the Musashi Great Demon!"
"My Shu soldiers will be doubled!"
Pei Yanhu's eyes gleamed with a sharp light that could reach three feet away, and his tone was sonorous and resounding.
The five lieutenant generals below were shocked when they heard this.
The flesh and blood of the Daoguo demon is fine, but the essence and blood of the Musashi demon are all on the bounty, which is going to cost a lot of money.
However, the mission this time is quite dangerous. It involves investigating the transmission channel used by the demon clan to transfer its troops. Just thinking about it will reveal the difficulty of this mission. The demon clan's transmission channel must be heavily guarded. It is difficult to even get close to it, let alone find out the situation clearly.
What happened?
Does the commander want to destroy the demon clan's teleportation array to hinder the progress of the demon army?
But as a soldier, you have to obey orders.
"Yes! I will obey your command!"
"drive"
"drive"
"drive!"
One after another, fast horses galloped out from the mountain-fatting army’s camp. The sound of horse hooves echoed on the streets outside, and they headed straight for the southern city gate!
At this time, in the wind and snow, at the southern city gate, many people gathered around a city wall, most of them were dressed like gangsters.
On the city walls, rows of reward notices were posted.
"In Qingyuan County, 600 miles outside the pass, a Tianguan Daozhong Huodou is causing chaos. Anyone who kills it will be rewarded with 100 kilograms of Tianguan flesh and blood and two pieces of Gengjin."
"Three hundred miles southwest, at Fubo Mountain, there is a demonic dog causing trouble. We are recruiting experts from the Heavenly Gate to join the army in the cleanup. The reward is a bottle of Heavenly Gate Dao Fruit Demon Essence Blood!"
"."
All of these bounties were official bounty notices issued by the mountain-cutting troops within the pass.
As the front line of the demon battlefield today, the resistance forces in the Sichuan Pass are not only the mountain-cutting troops, but also various people from the martial arts world. Together with the demons outside, a new situation has been formed.
Demons are rampant outside the pass. The flesh and blood of the demons in the pass, or the leather, armor and bones of low-level demons, are all excellent resources for cultivation. The Fashan Army is in charge of the circulation of most resources. Once they are short of manpower, they will issue a bounty and recruit masters to cooperate with them to complete related military affairs, gradually forming a stable supply and demand relationship.
However, the missions issued by the mountain-cutting army are often of high difficulty and basically require top-level masters to complete. But because the rewards are generous, they often attract many masters willing to take risks.
Of course, as long as it involves cultivation resources, there are naturally civilian ones. With the emergence and influx of precious demon materials in the past, many black markets and shops have appeared inside the pass, and even small trade fairs are held regularly. The atmosphere of cultivation in the city is much stronger than other places in Shu.
Because as the front line of the demon battlefield, it is full of fighting, danger and unknown!
Soon, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, coming from far away and becoming clearer. A team of twenty soldiers and horses were seen running quickly to the foot of the city wall. Two rows of soldiers moved forward quickly to separate the crowd. The other three soldiers in blue armor dismounted, threw out a reward from their sleeves, and posted it on a blank space on the city wall.
The martial arts masters under the city wall immediately looked sideways, made a commotion, and watched the actions of this team of soldiers.
The posting of the reward caused quite a stir, with three captains of the mountain-cutting army appearing to post the reward.
For a moment, he couldn't help but look at the posted reward notice with curiosity, and then he exclaimed.
"What?
"Big goblin blood?"
Exclamations came one after another from the surrounding crowd. The reward for this mission actually included a drop of giant goblin blood, which immediately caused a stir in the crowd and made them boil.
The blood of the great demon. Are the mountain-cutting troops willing to offer even this as a reward?
Pairs of eyes quickly scanned the three posted bounty notices. At first glance, the excited hearts of many martial arts masters quickly cooled down. The task on the bounty notice was to go to the fallen prey to inquire about the transmission channel used by the demon clan to mobilize troops.
This mission was to go deep into the demon's heartland, so you can imagine how dangerous it was. As for the channel used by the demons to mobilize troops, they had heard about it after staying in Chuanzhongguan for a long time. It was rumored that the demons used the tribe's treasures and sacrificed a large amount of blood to open it, and then descended directly from the distant Shiwan Mountains to Shu, and the blood and energy sacrificed came from the people of Shu.
The three notices represent three different mission locations, which are the three nearest fallen prefectures outside the Sichuan Pass.
Suddenly, the originally noisy atmosphere quickly cooled down, and no one dared to go forward to unveil the list!
And the news spread quickly.
Half an incense stick later, a young man in black with a sword case on his back and a silent and cold face walked to the foot of the south city and took down a bounty.
Many people recognized him!
"Gongsun Wuji!"
An heir of a sword tomb who once made a great name for himself in the Shu martial arts world!
Not long after, another reward was torn off.
He is a young man dressed in white with an elegant temperament!
None of the martial arts masters had seen this person before.
And this person is Zhao Quanzhen from Wudao Mountain! (End of this chapter)
