Demons are gathering.

The human side is also taking action in a intensive manner.

For a moment.

The major sects who heard the news sent people to the imperial city to discuss the next war that would determine each other's future destiny.

The Jade Ding Dynasty did not block the news that demons gathered together to prepare for invasion.

After all, in order to cope with the subsequent war, the frequent actions of the Yuding Dynasty in all aspects could not be hidden. Moreover, out of propaganda needs, it is even more impossible for the Yuding Dynasty to block the news.

For the vast majority of ordinary people.

War is terrible.

Especially in the face of war with demons.

In the deeply rooted thoughts of ordinary people, demons are cruel and bloodthirsty in nature and always threaten the safety of the human world.

Once humans are defeated, all humans will become slaves and foods that can be slaughtered under the rule of demons.

People are afraid of demons and war, but this does not mean that people do not have the confidence to defeat demons.

Not to mention the battle of Chihai that severely damaged the demon a hundred years ago.

The countless wars between humans and demons have broken out in history, and finally ended with humans winning.

Psychologically, humans have an absolute advantage.

Therefore, after the ordinary people of the Jade Ding Dynasty learned that the demons were preparing to start a war again, they quickly returned to peace after a brief panic.

Rather than saying that the people firmly believe that the Jade Ding Dynasty can defeat the demons again, it is better to say that the people's understanding of this war has been shallow before the war really came to them, and even before they personally felt the cruelty of the war.

This is the blessing of ordinary people and their misfortune.

So what if they know the terribleness of war and demons? The problem is that they have no ability to resist and change at all.

They are like lambs protecting in the sheepfold, and human monks are shepherds who protect these lambs, always alert to the invasion of demons and hungry wolves.

Although the demons and hungry wolves often succeed in causing losses to the flock.

But human monks protected the flock in general.

As long as the flock does not perish.

More guardians will be born in the flock.

As the center of the Jade Ding Dynasty.

The Imperial City is one of the safest places in the world.

However, the imperial city was inevitably affected and impacted by the war.

For example, the important daily necessities such as food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, which are most concerned by ordinary people, have experienced small fluctuations in prices. Once the war breaks out completely, it will inevitably fall into material scarcity. At that time, prices will rise rapidly, and the biggest victim will be the poor people at the bottom.

Therefore, all ordinary people with a little mind start to hoard these daily necessities after realizing this issue, let alone those merchants who intend to hoard goods through war.

Xia Fan, who is an official in the court, is also a little busy recently.

When the entire dynasty machine was operating in the face of war, even the most leisurely officials like him could no longer be idle.

Every day, all important institutions and departments in the court would ask the Chongwen Academy to mobilize and organize various materials, so that the Chongwen Academy, which is deserted and lonely on weekdays, is rarely in full swing.

"Is this the show you want to watch?"

This day.

Xia Fan was sorting out the information.

The old voice of the guardian Shi Meng Yu suddenly rang in his ears.

"I wonder what Lord Shuzangshi is referring to?"

Xia Fan did not stop the movements in his hand, but instead asked a little consciously.

"I am naturally referring to this war that is about to break out with the demons."

The guardian Shi Mengyu didn't care about Xia Fan's attitude at all, and said calmly.

"The play I want to watch is indeed related to this war, but what I want to watch is not on the front line, but in the imperial city."

Xia Fan said leisurely.

"Imperial City... Please forgive me for being stupid. I wonder how the imperial city can attract you?"

Meng Yu said in a deep voice.

The imperial city far away from the front can be said to be the base camp behind the human race in this war.

Since it is a base camp, it is naturally the top priority in protection.

If the fall of the imperial city can only mean one result.

Humans were defeated.

In other words.

The place that determines the outcome of this war is not the Imperial City, but the Chihai Front.

The problem is that Xia Fan did not leave the imperial city and head for Chihai. Is the drama he is going to watch is not this extraordinary battle that determines the future fate of each other's race?

From Xia Fan's answer, Meng Yu faintly smelled an unusual smell.

"Have Lord Shunzang Shi ever thought that if the imperial city was the battlefield that decided the outcome of this war?"

After saying this.

Xia Fan held the collected information in his arms, and at the same time saluted Meng Yu in front of him, then turned around and left.

"...I will tell His Majesty everything about you!"

Looking at Xia Fan's back as he left.

Meng Yu suddenly said with a serious expression.

"It's up to you."

Xia Fan didn't even look back.

In fact, at this time, he no longer wanted to hide it.

He chose to tell Meng Yu this, but he wanted the scene he had been looking forward to be more exciting.

After sending the information to the designated department.

Xia Fan then returned to his mansion directly.

"Huh? Big villain, why did you come back so early today?"

The little cat lying in the courtyard basking in the sun immediately sensed Xia Fan.

"It's time for us to leave."

Xia Fan waved to the little cat.

"Go? Where to go?"

The little cat was stunned when he heard this, and then jumped into Xia Fan's arms.

"Inn."

Before the little cats could react, their figures disappeared into the courtyard.

Half an hour later.

Figures suddenly appeared in Xia Fan's mansion.

"He's not here."

patio.

Dou Yao looked at Xia Mingyuan beside him with a serious expression.

"But according to the confession of the people in the mansion, the other party had come back an hour ago..."

"Are there anything else to discover?"

Xia Mingyuan wandered in the courtyard with his hands on his back, seemingly aimlessly.

"There is another cat in the house missing. It is said that the cat is his favorite pet... If it is expected, the cat is the demon king he captured back then..."

Dou Yao sighed lightly.

"I didn't expect that he was always under our noses."

Xia Mingyuan said softly while pushing open the door of a house.

"This also shows that if he doesn't want to see us, we will never be able to see each other."

Dou Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"At least we can be sure that the other party is not our enemy."

Enter the house.

Xia Mingyuan's eyes gradually locked in a corner of the house.

Because there is a chessboard in the corner.

There are various wood carved chess pieces placed on the chessboard.

"And...he seems to be watching all of us secretly all the time."

Xia Mingyuan came to the chessboard in the corner.

He picked up a wooden carving on the chessboard.
