The foot of the Elderly Mountain in Quyang City

From the west city gate to Qilao Mountain, there was originally a wide and flat road, which was used for trade by Orion hunters and traders from other places who lived in the mountains. It is not as busy as the official road, but it is still somewhat popular on weekdays.

On June 15th, the daylight was just right. There were people standing ten steps away from each other on both sides of the road. They were wearing iron armor and bronze helmets. Their blades were cold and their energy was stable. I have to say that Quyang's city guards were indeed capable.

We also saw 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry. They were well-equipped and had strong horses, which were more than twice as good as the Quyang soldiers. Their steps were neat and their horseshoes were in formation. They were the most proud among the Jinning Palace Guards.

The best soldiers and guards cannot be simple.[

Looking from a distance, I can see the royal carriage covered with treasures and the curtains of pearls and jade hanging down. I can only see floating shadows.

This is the most legendary woman in Nanzhao, the current emperor, Huangfu Yan.

The two masters, Wu Yihan and Xiang Xue, were the first pair of masters and disciples to arrive outside the Old Man Valley.

There is a large open space outside the Misty Valley, hundreds of meters away, and the white fog can still be seen, and it seems to be thicker and lighter in one place, and then it is filled with new fog.

The costumes of the Phantom members are quite characteristic of the Wu clan. The coat is tight-fitting with double breasts, the sleeves are medium length and gradually widened, the lining is a vertical collar, the sleeves are close to the arms and reach the wrists, and they wear wide plaid skirts and leggings.

Each department has different characteristics. For example, Mohu likes to wear a square bamboo hat with a black gauze covering his face.

There wasn't much scruple in the internal competition, but Xiang Xue still chose to wear a square bamboo hat. She was cautious by nature, and just in case, she didn't want too many people to see her true appearance.

"Master, the Supreme Emperor has ulterior motives. You and the other subordinates must be careful."

Xiang Xue observed the surroundings carefully through the gauze. The misty valley was surrounded by high mountains and ridges. It was just a recess. The cold air floated up and the warm air sank. It was easy to absorb the rain. Mountain streams also tended to go to lower places. It was warm and humid, so it was the most suitable place.

Plants grow, no wonder the scenery was comparable to fairyland a few decades ago.

But from another perspective, from a strategic position, the valley has always been the easiest place to be swept away.

"Oh? How to say."

When Wu Yihan heard what his apprentice said, he immediately became interested.

The constant changes in the competition were due to Huangfu Fang's suppression. No matter how powerful the Phantom was, it was just an organization and could be easily razed to the ground by ten thousand troops.

The imperial power is supreme and can only compromise.

But from what Xiang Xue said, it seemed that it was more than that.

"The apprentice has been to the Quyang County Yamen in the past two days and 'saw' some very interesting records. The former Quyang County Magistrate once dispatched a thousand soldiers and horses into the Elderly Confusion Valley in the name of breaking the confusion and doing things for the people. The county magistrate is a civil official.

, Nanzhao law stipulates that when civilian officials deploy more than 500 troops, they need the approval of the superior military attaché.

The Cangjiang River was flooded every year, and the surrounding counties of Quyang were affected by floods. Wen Sizhong, who was the nomadic guard at the time, was an upright person and would never agree to allocate a thousand troops to explore the Elder Mi Valley at such an urgent moment. Sure enough, the transfer order

Although the record is vague, my disciple can tell that it was definitely an order from Jinning."

Before and after the contact, Wu Yihan was keenly aware of the connection: "Le'er, according to your wishes, Huangfu Fang has long wanted to go into the Elderly Misty Valley to find that thing, but unfortunately he failed even though he lost his troops and generals."

Huangfu Yan once received a painting from the four tribes. The condition for victory in the competition was to successfully retrieve the object on the painting.

A stone, an ordinary stone.[

If there is anything special about it, it is the strong greenery.
