"I'm at Cangyun Peak." The young man bowed to Shen Xiao, his voice was cold and indifferent, and he couldn't hear any special emotions. This was also Shen Xiao's first impression of him, and it matched the thick black armor on him. .

"I am ordered by the commander to serve as the general's deputy from today onwards, and I am willing to help the general achieve something."

Shen Xiao saw that the young man maintained his saluting posture, so he said: "There is no need to be rigid, I have not been in the valley for a long time, and I am new here, please give me your advice."

Only then did the young man raise his head and look at Shen Xiao at the same level - he was about the same height as Shen Xiao, and his physique seemed to be stronger than Shen Xiao's, but his aura was much weaker than Shen Xiao's, probably because his eyes were too dim.

The corner of Shen Xiao's mouth curled up a little: "I'll have to work in the future."

From a certain point of view, Shen Xiao felt that Feng Ling was a bit like Ye Junqian when they first met. His eyes were gray and lifeless. Although he was sharp and reliable in doing things, he was extremely bad at talking and was not close to anyone.

In the past two months, Shen Xiao kept a low profile in the Valley of the Wicked. On weekdays, he went out to patrol, and the farthest was the Longmen Desert, reading some military records in the inner city, or pulling Feng Ling and other brothers out to fight.What he did did not match his military rank as a "vicious god patrolling the valley".

Although forced.One was that it happened to be a period of truce between the two sides, and the other was that Xiang Jing gave him a blow at the beginning.

Now Ma Wei naturally refers to Feng Ling, who was sent as his deputy.Xiang Jing's meaning was so clear that he didn't hide it at all - Shen Xiao had just entered the valley, so he raised his military rank to the seventh rank, and even personally pointed out his former confidant Feng Ling to give him a former heroic general as his deputy.Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that the position of deputy is good-looking, but it is actually to monitor whether he has any ambitions.

Shen Xiao lay on the couch and closed his eyes, but he didn't really fall asleep.About an hour later, as usual, he noticed the especially light footsteps from the next door, which belonged to Feng Ling.Feng Ling would leave for a while every night after Shen Xiao "falls asleep", probably to report Shen Xiao's movements to Xiang Jing, this is Feng Ling's real mission, Shen Xiao knew it but never showed it.

It was only when Feng Ling left that Shen Xiao could think about his own affairs.He opened his eyes and looked at the roof, only the sound of the howling wind outside could be heard in the quiet surroundings, and his thoughts wandered endlessly with the wind.

In fact, Shen Xiao hasn't slept well for a long time, ever since he was seriously injured by Ye Junqian that day, it might be better to say that he slept the deepest during the period of serious injury.Although it has been more than a year, when I close my eyes, I still think of the scene of that day from time to time, and suddenly think of Jiang Chuan who killed the killer, and Pei Guiqing who is still missing.

One of the reasons why Shen Xiao entered the Valley of the Evil was to find Pei Guiqing.From Lu Jie, he could already confirm that Pei Guiqing was alive.After entering the valley, he almost cut off contact with Lu Jie.As for Lu Jie, almost a few days after Shen Xiao entered the valley, he was sent by Xiang Jing to go outside the valley.That day when Shen Xiao was patrolling the mountains and returning to the valley, he happened to pass by him, and Lu Jie threw a letter paper with only the word "An" on it, which was in Pei Guiqing's handwriting.

Previously, Shen Xiao walked around the outskirts of the Valley of the Evil in the name of being familiar with the terrain, but failed to find Pei Guiqing's trace. If it was possible, it was only the high places in the inner city that he could not set foot in now.

The current position is not awkward, neither too far away nor too close, like a wolf whose legs are chained, there is no threat even though it has the desire to pounce on its prey.

Shen Xiao became more and more aware that even if Pei Guiqing was recaptured, there would be invisible obstacles in pursuit of what he wanted to do at this stage.And the root of these obstacles comes from the Xiangjing—the Xiangjing who is afraid and wary of himself.

"Brother is expected to act like this." Feng Ling stood in front of a white-clothed Taoist priest, but it was not Xiang Jing, but his fellow disciple Bai Yu who stood beside Xiang Jing in the past. "How's the news from the Haoqi League?"

"Shen Xiao was indeed expelled from the Haoqi League under the pretext of Mr. Jiang Chuan. After missing for a year, Fang was led into the Valley of the Wicked."

"Where is Junior Brother Junqian?"

"Ye Junqian seriously injured Shen Xiao. Now he is practicing in seclusion at Jianzhong."

"Wouldn't you think that the situation in the league would turn out like this during the two years I've been in the Valley of the Wicked..." Bai Yu lowered his head and glanced at the blade of the sword in his hand that was glowing with coldness. "Looks like it's time to go back and see the master."

Feng Ling answered, "The matter of Shen Xiao's entry into the Valley of the Wicked has been sent to Mr. Jiang Chuan according to Mr. Jiang Chuan's intention. What should Xiang Jing do?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest."

In the middle of speaking, Bai Yu suddenly remembered something, took out a token from the inside of his sleeve robe, turned around and grabbed Feng Ling's hand, put the token in Feng Ling's palm, and said: "By the way, according to the agreement, this is the mysterious token you want. Jia Ling, Xiang Jing and I will go to Rongtian Ridge today. It must be busy at that time. You can take this opportunity to go to Yinyuanhui. General Yan Wangqing will call you back to Cangyun Castle in a few days. Not to mention Xiang Jing, even Wang Yifeng can't stand you."

Feng Ling's dark eyes showed a glimmer of light when he saw the Xuanjia Token, and immediately dimmed again, but they did not disappear.He cupped his fists and bowed to Bai Yu, his voice was even lower than before: "Mr. Luo has done me a favor, and I will report it in the future."

"No need." Bai Yu suddenly laughed when he heard Feng Ling's words, and asked back: "Since you have already made up your mind to leave, are you still coming back to this muddy water just to repay me?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"You want to leave Xiangjing, and I also want you to leave Xiangjing, so I'll help you, what kindness said." Bai Yu turned her head, took Fengling's hand and placed it on the Xuanjia Token, . "When I came back from Rongtian Ridge, you probably weren't in the Valley of the Wicked anymore. See you in Jianghu, Ling Feng."

The corners of Fengling's mouth were raised, although the smile was not obvious, but it was really a smile: "There will be a period later, Mr. Luo."

Xiang Jing led people out of the valley to Rongtian Ridge.When Shen Xiao was planning how to get rid of or buy Feng Ling, Feng Ling disappeared. He thought he was just reporting when he fell asleep as usual, but this time Feng Ling never came back.

This is a good thing for Shen Xiao.Shen Xiao was skeptical, and after returning to the inner city at night, he planned to arrive at the time for the guard's shift change. After tying up the horse, he leaned behind the wooden barrier, and as soon as the shift changer left, he jumped up the stairs.

There is not much time for him to find Pei Guiqing, and he might be discovered by someone.Shen Xiao covered all the way and searched all the houses on the first-level platform first, but still found nothing. When he was about to dive to the second-level platform when he was uneasy, suddenly there was the sound of a bird of prey roaring overhead.

Shen Xiao raised his head vigilantly, and saw a falcon bird hovering in the sky, and flew to the top of the city wall after circling.Shen Xiao followed Hayabusa with his eyes, and saw a figure sitting on the wall, the man raised the wine jar and took a sip, Hayabusa settled on his shoulder, staring straight at Shen Xiao with sharp eyes.

The man jumped off the wall and stepped out of the shadow of the wall.Shen Xiao saw the dragon pattern tattoo on his upper body at a glance, coupled with this person's profound internal strength, guessed for a moment, and probably guessed the identity of this person.

Some of Xiang Jing's confidantes who I heard about when he was in the Haoqi League, Cang Yunfengling, Qixiu Xiaochu, and Guo Feng from the Beggar Gang.This person is probably Guo Feng.

"Qi Ye didn't know the general, offended." He smiled to Shen Xiao.

The opposite party's meaning was very clear, even though Shen Xiao was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up.But judging from the opponent's posture, Pei Guiqing's location should undoubtedly be near the second-order platform, which is also where Xiang Jing's residence is.

It seems that if he wants to see Pei Guiqing, he has to climb up—a law that everyone in the world understands, Shen Xiao clenched his fists tightly, warning himself not to be impatient, although the fight was not the intention, but obviously, If you continue to keep a low profile like this, you will just sit and wait to die.

In the end, he still had to be involved in this dispute.Shen Xiao looked up at the quietly burning candle on the table, sparks reflected in his eyes, and the once calm eyes became sharp again.

If you want to climb up, with your current self, you are alone and weak, and you will definitely not be able to do it.

Now it's different from the Haoqi League in the past. Although Xiang Jing gave himself the rank of the fierce god of patrolling the valley, it was just a title. In fact, Shen Xiao's men had less than a hundred troops. Fortunately, he often communicated with his men on weekdays and was willing to work for him. should be the majority of them.

However, only one hundred people is obviously not enough. If you want to make a difference, you need to have more than a thousand people, or even more.

If you want to find the remaining 900 people, you must get out of the Valley of the Wicked.The deadline for the truce is less than a month. If you consider the strength of the stronghold...

Apart from strongholds, what about joining forces with Lu Jie?

Lu Jie's smile, always hidden under his big white hood, naturally appeared in Shen Xiao's mind.

Back then when Lu Jie asked him if he wanted to join forces to bring down Xiang Jing, he refused. Unexpectedly, Lu Jie didn't say a word. At that time, Lu Jie's expression was also such a mysterious smile, neither hostile nor Without good intentions, as if he had expected that he would think of joining forces with him.

Shen Xiao began to think that Lu Jie was interesting, but taking down Xiang Jing was not something he had to think about now. If he really wanted to join forces, he had to have enough strength himself. Sure enough, he had to start thinking about the stronghold first.

The candlelight on the table shook back and forth, Shen Xiao stood up, and walked to the sand table map fixed on the wall - the road from Rongtianling to Cangshan and Erhai Lake was Xiangjing against Jiangchuan; the road from Longmen to Luodao was Lu Jie is facing Gu Lin; the road with gaps is the middle road, from Mawei Station to Baling County.

Shen Xiao's eyes stopped at the boundary line between Maweiyi Station and Bailongkou, he frowned, his eyes became deep.

The largest stronghold of Mawei Station and the point of trade route is Fufeng County, which belongs to Ye Chuyun and indirectly to Lu Jie.Shiwaipo and Sunyue Cliff at Bailongkou have no ownership due to poor terrain and difficult management, and the troops are idle.

If these two points are successfully won, then the inevitable situation will be - him, facing the heroic general of Wolongpo, Bailongkou, Ye Junqian.

His spear was lying horizontally on the wooden frame under the sand table. Shen Xiao stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the cold body of the gun. The image of Ye Junqian smiling cheerfully at him gradually dispelled all thoughts and occupied his mind.

Obviously, compared to his own thoughts, now he wants to know the expression on Ye Junqian's face when he was facing Ye Junqian.

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable chuckle in the room.

The author has something to say: the first chapter of water, the series of life

The Cangyun branch line will be mentioned later, Shen Xiao will come back,

Ye Junqian goes out of the next chapter, Gu Lin goes offline, Xiang Jingjiangchuan goes offline, Pei Guiqing goes offline,
