Chapter 13 Outside Yucheng

In mid-April, the snow at the mouth of Yu Gorge finally seemed to be fading, and the loess that had been buried for half a year was showing its head slightly, and even occasionally, a few stubborn grass buds could be seen.

The snow has melted, and it is spring. The farmer who has been holding back the whole winter is also resisting the hoe, preparing to reclaim the bald farmland around the city. As the weather gets warmer, Yucheng gradually returns to its usual cleanliness.Only in this school, the sound of reading from day to day is still the same.

Behind the rows of desks, the students sat cross-legged. On the teacher's seat directly in front of them, the teacher in the red dress yawned from time to time, and seemed not as energetic as the students below who were studying.

The sun streaked across the top of the head according to the same trajectory for thousands of years, and passed the small black spot that also hung in the air for thousands of years. From early morning to dusk, the teacher's head dangled on his neck, suddenly He sank suddenly, and then he woke up, then wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, looked out the window, and it was gradually slanting westward.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's end today's class." The female teacher said.

Every day, the most powerful thing she said was this sentence.

The students in the audience were a little sleepy after a day of class, and they all got up and bowed, and left the school.

This is a day in Yucheng. It is clear and indifferent, repeated over and over again, and it seems that there will never be any change.

At dusk, the rocks in the Gobi Mountains are all dyed golden.In the wind and sand twenty miles away from the mouth of Yu Gorge, the shadow of a caravan faintly appeared.

There are a lot of people in this caravan. At a glance, there are four to fifty people in total, but there are not many things transported, only one.

But this thing is huge. It is a huge box about ten meters long, wrapped in white cloth, and it took more than a dozen horses to pull it. I don't know what's inside.

What's even more strange is that the caravan didn't take the commercial road, but deliberately avoided it, and walked towards Yucheng along a route that almost no one would pay attention to.

It wasn't until the evening light dissipated, the night grew thicker, and the black moon and white moon hung in the sky that the weird caravan finally arrived outside Yucheng.

Looking at the city wall that was as silent as a picture scroll under the night, the leading businessman lifted the hood on his head, revealing a face that was too hard and angular.

He turned around and looked at the dozens of people behind him, and said calmly.

"Today's goal is only one person and one woman."

Among the dozens of figures behind him, there was a soft rustling sound, and everyone took off their hoods. Then, there were bursts of metal collision sounds in the night.

These people took off their robes, revealing the armor with a strong smell of Qin Jun's iron and blood. From around the huge white box, they took out long knives and daggers. The long knives reflected cold light, and the daggers were tempered poison.

In addition, there are fire bombs, large nets, bows and arrows, chain crossbows
In the darkness of night, these Daqin soldiers silently tied the killing tools to their bodies and placed them in the most comfortable positions within reach. The occasional light sounds gave people a solemn feeling of killing.

And the leading general of the Qin Army continued:

"Don't be deceived by the target's identity. Although she is a woman, she is indeed the most dangerous woman in the world. The military department of the Great Qin Empire has been looking for her for 18 years, and the talisman master of Qianmo Mountain has been looking for her for 18 years. The generals on the battlefield have been thinking about her for 18 years! However, she still lives to this day. It is a gift from heaven that we are lucky enough to come to this small town now!"

A group of Qin Jun still didn't say much, and the voice of arranging the weapons in his hands didn't slow down at all, but after the information was uttered, everyone was shocked beyond measure, and when they heard the word "Book of Heaven", Sometimes, these people even feel their heads buzzing.

Tianshu used Tianshu to find someone.
"So, this person may be the most difficult enemy you can meet in your life. Your purpose is to kill her at all costs. Including your lives! Even the lives of others! Understand?"

The moment the voice stopped, all the Qin soldiers also finished arranging their weapons. These people straightened up, stretched out their right hands, and struck their left chest with great force and uniformity.

Dozens of fists and armor collided together at the same time, no one spoke, but there was a bang that brought together dozens of people's determination to die.

And at the end of the crowd, a person didn't take off his robe, didn't arrange his weapons, and didn't even stand up. stroking the white cloth outside the huge box.

The night in Yucheng was as quiet as usual. The shops closed their stalls, and every household closed their doors. Candle lights penetrated the thin cloth on the windows, dotting the darkness.

A young man came out of the restaurant. He helped the owner of the hotel close the store, and put a curtain on the wooden sign on the street to attract customers. Then he led his pony towards the city gate. go.

Suddenly, he frowned, then turned his head and glanced at the alley around him.

there is nothing there
However, Xu Baiyan's eyebrows were still frowning.For more than half a year, he has been writing that huge long poem every day according to the way the teacher taught him. Finally, not long ago, he got the teacher's approval, and the other party finally agreed to teach him to write talismans.

Those talismans are very simple, after all, they are new contacts.

But after half a month of writing the 'fu', Xu Baiyan didn't make any progress.

Those talismans of his are very beautiful and smooth, but there is no sign at all. Everyone knows that if there is no talisman, it is just a beautiful trace of pen and ink on the paper.

Sometimes, Xu Baiyan even wondered if what this lazy teacher taught him to write was a talisman.

In addition to the matter of writing talismans, Xu Baiyan also discovered a very strange phenomenon.This phenomenon originates from oneself
That is, my body seems to be getting stronger and stronger, I can see farther, and I can hear more accurately. Sometimes when I practice talismans, I practice all night, but the next morning Still full of energy, even when killing horse thieves, it was easier.

So at that moment just now, Xu Baiyan clearly heard a sound in the alley. It was the light sound of shoes breaking a tree branch.

Who is it so late?

Xu Baiyan hesitated for a moment, put down the rein leading the horse, and walked towards the alley.

But the moment he stepped into the shadows

A long knife was placed between his throat!
