low-key is king

Chapter 172 Water Moon Mirror

Hongshan City!
This one-county city was originally Yan Qingxi's residence, but now Yan Qingxi has died outside the west gate of Watanabe City, and the previous period of time can be described as panic.

However, in the past few days, the panic atmosphere in Hongshan City has eased a bit, followed by a tense atmosphere, because there are [-] enemy troops stationed outside.

Speaking of the 30 troops outside the city, many of them were transferred from Hongshan City. I didn't expect to become the enemy of Hongshan City now. I have to say [-] years in Hedong.

It is worth mentioning that Hongshan City now has a new city lord, who is Yang Xun who has broken through to the Perfect Martial Master of the Four Realms, and was once an invincible city lord in Watanabe City.

Of course, although Yang Xun, the city lord, has the support of Master Huaguang, a monk of the four realms, the greater reason why he can become the city lord of Hongshan City is because of the support of the Yan family.

For example, on the wall of the east gate of Hongshan City now, there is a martial artist who has reached the realm of Xiaocheng, named Mu Chengyin, who is enshrined by the Yan family.

Nominally, Yang Xun is the city lord of Hongshan City, but in fact most of the decisions are based on Mu Chengyin's face, which undoubtedly makes Yang Xun miss the days when he was the only one in Watanabe City.

It's a pity that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Mu Chengyin is far above Yang Xun in terms of strength and status.

The current city lord Yang Xun, after offending Zhendong Prince's Mansion, can only go to the dark one way.

On the wall of the east gate, Yang Xun looked at the ten-mile company outside, with a look of worry on his face.

It seems that the situation where the [-] troops besieged Watanabe Castle was reversed to Hongshan City today.

"Hehe, City Lord Yang is afraid, right? Do you want to abandon the city again and run away?"

Mu Chengyin next to him obviously saw Yang Xun's face, and when he said this mocking remark, whether it was the Yang family's father and son or Master Huaguang, their faces changed slightly, which was like adding salt to the wound.

"Mr. Mu was joking. The crisis in Watanabe City that day was caused by the collusion between the Zhendong Palace and the Hai Clan. Yang also knew that he was invincible, so he left early and came to Hongshan City in the starry night, so that City Lord Yan could prepare early! "

Yang Xun cursed loudly in his heart, but on the surface he didn't dare to offend the enshrined Yan family, so he could only repeat what he said before.

He told so many lies that even he himself believed that it was the truth.

"I see!"

Mu Chengyin didn't try to expose Yang Xun's nonsense, but the half-smile look made Yang Xun almost explode.

If I can't beat you old guy, I will definitely let you know why the flowers are so popular.

"For the current situation, what can Mr. Mu do?"

Yang Xun didn't want to say more about this scandal, so he changed the subject.

Are you not capable?There were [-] troops outside besieging the city, but Hongshan City's defenders were only about [-], so he didn't have much confidence.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, my city of Hongshan County has high walls and thick walls, can't it stop these local chickens and dogs?"

Mu Chengyin gave Yang Xun a disdainful look, as if he hated iron but not steel, but what he said was like saying nothing, and Yang Xun cursed inwardly.

Although this old guy has a high level of cultivation, he is an idiot who doesn't know how to fight.

However, when he looked at the ten-foot-high city wall of Hongshan City, Yang Xun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that even if the opponent wanted to attack, he would have to pay a huge price.

"Yang Xun, you despicable villain, how can you have the face to be the lord of Hongshan City?"

Just as Yang Xun's thoughts were turning, a loud voice suddenly came from below, which made his face darken instantly, because he was not too unfamiliar with this voice.

"Zhang Wen!"

As a martial artist with complete four realms, Yang Xun naturally had excellent eyesight. He immediately followed the sound and saw a figure in front of the army below. It was none other than Zhang Wen, a martial artist from Watanabe Castle.

This time, the army of the palace was divided into three groups, the middle route was naturally controlled by Zhendong Wang Lu Mingyang, and the south route was controlled by Prime Minister Zhao Qidong.

And this army on the North Road was jointly controlled by Zhang Wen and Gu Yun, two martial artists from the four realms of Watanabe Castle.

In fact, after the First Battle of Watanabe Castle, the Zhendong Prince's Mansion had recruited an entire army of one hundred thousand, and naturally there were some ten thousand commanders from the four realms in the army, but how dare Lu Mingyang use it?

For example, the army from the North Road has now attacked Hongshan City, the county town, and many soldiers have come out from Hongshan City. If they defected before the battle, it would be a big trouble.

Although Zhang Wen and Gu Yun had never led an army to fight before, but their strength was there, and they were veteran strongmen in Watanabe City, and they were already determined to the Zhendong Palace.

At this moment, Zhang Wen obviously saw Yang Xun on the city wall, and also got some other information. He was always holding back his breath when Yang Xun abandoned the city and fled.

"Yang Xun, when you were in the catastrophe of Watanabe Castle, you abandoned hundreds of thousands of people in the city. I was a little worried. Today's Hongshan City will become the Watanabe Castle of that day!"

Zhang Wen's loud voice came again, and these few words were a bit embarrassing. It was Chi Guoguo who said that at that critical moment, Yang Xun, the new city lord of Hongshan City, might also abandon the city and flee .

On the east gate wall, many city guards and soldiers heard Zhang Wen's loud voice clearly, and their eyes all turned to Yang Xun, the new city lord, with a strange light shining.

If Mu Chengyin's sarcasm just now didn't make them think too much, then at this moment when the army is overwhelming the city, will the new city lord really choose to save his own life at that critical moment, regardless of all of them? What about life and death?

"Zhang Wen, don't you want to spout blood. It is clear that the Zhendong Palace colluded with the Hai Clan first. Knowing that I am invincible, I choose to protect myself and report the letter. What's wrong?"

In such a large audience, Yang Xun could only repeat his previous remarks, making all the soldiers of Hongshan City skeptical.

Naturally, they have all seen Zhendong Wangfu's appeal against rebellion, but the official statement from the capital is that Zhendong Wangfu colluded with the Hai Clan to plot rebellion.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and they naturally believed in the orthodox news from the capital.

"Red mouth and white teeth, it really turns black and white!"

Zhang Wen below shouted and cursed, and then a strange look appeared on his face, and he heard him say loudly: "My lord has long expected that you would talk such nonsense, so let us see who is lying?" !"

"Hmph, whatever you say to break the sky, it's just the words of your Watanabe family!"

Yang Xun naturally didn't believe that the other party could produce any evidence, so he snorted coldly, if it was just the enemy's statement outside the city, how could these generals in Hongshan City believe it?

"Alright!"

Zhang Wen didn't pay much attention to Yang Xun, he saw his right hand suddenly lifted, and then a ray of light shot up into the sky, making everyone's eyes subconsciously focus on that ray of light.

"It's like a big mirror!"

The centurion, a third-rank martial artist, had sharp eyes. After the words in his mouth came out, everyone saw at the same time that it was indeed like a mirror.

A mirror suspended above the sky outside the east gate of Hongshan City, with a radius of several feet, exudes a faint special atmosphere, which makes the complexions of the strong men on the east gate wall change a little.

"Yang Xun, have you heard of the Water Moon Mirror?"

Zhang Wen below had a happy smile on his face, and when Yang Xun heard the name he said, his expression changed instantly, as if he knew what the other party was going to do.

The Shuiyue mirror is a very special treasure. According to legend, it can record everything that happened. As long as the Shuiyue mirror records the process, it can be reopened, allowing the past to repeat itself in the mirror.

It's just that even the water moon mirror with the lowest grade and the worst timeliness is very valuable, even more than ten times more precious than the mustard bracelet.

The water moon mirror is miraculous, but for ordinary martial artists, it is a bit tasteless.

If you want to record the past, you can just rely on your brain, so why spend a lot of money to buy a water moon mirror?

But at this moment, Yang Xun didn't have the time to think about how Zhang Wen could take out a water moon mirror. What he was more worried about was that what he had done in Watanabe City would be hidden in the water moon mirror.

Whoa!

Especially when Yang Xun saw an image appearing in the Shuiyue Mirror, the first picture was the collapse of the coastal defense embankment outside Watanabe Castle, his face turned into the color of a pig's liver.

It was obvious that when the Hai Clan attacked, Lu Xun kept an eye out for it. Although the Zhendong Palace fell, there were still many good things, and one of them was the Water Moon Mirror.

Naturally, Lu Xun would not personally record the details of that battle. He had installed the Shuiyue Mirror in a hidden corner of the east gate wall of Watanabe Castle long ago, and recorded the details of that battle clearly.

Seeing the image in the mirror of water and moon, Yang Xun knew that there was no delay. Seeing him dodge, he had already snatched the bow and arrow from a city guard not far away.

Whoosh!
A long arrow is as fast as a shooting star, and it shoots towards the water moon mirror. The arrow of the Four Realms Consummation Martial Artist has an astonishing momentum, and it is about to hit the mirror surface of the water moon mirror.

Ding!
However, at this moment, another cold light came from bottom to top, and it hit the long arrow shot by Yang Xun precisely, making a crisp sound, which also made the face of the new city lord of Hongshan City even more ugly .

"Gu Yun!"

Yang Xun did recognize that the martial artist of the four realms who also bowed and shot arrows was Gu Yun from Watanabe City, but he had never known that this person was actually a master archer.

"What? City Lord Yang is afraid that the truth will be revealed to everyone. Can you, the City Lord of Hongshan City, fail?"

Zhang Wen sneered, and asked directly in a loud voice. As soon as these words came out, many soldiers in Hongshan City were all moved.

Because they can all think that if the contents of the water moon mirror are not good for Yang Xun, why should the new city lord rush to destroy the moon water mirror?
