Chapter 226 Mr. Chen, take care (ask for monthly ticket) "crunch" "crunch" Gou Zhi walked back and forth. Perhaps because it had been raining for the past few days, the floor under his feet was damp and made a slightly harsh sound. In the front, on two chairs, one on the left and one on the right, sat Fellow Daoist Yuan from Benlei Mountain and Taoist Priest Li from Fulong Temple. They both closed their eyes to rest, and the tea on the table had lost its heat. Outside, the neighing of horses and the clashing of armor coming from the martial arts field added a touch of solemnity to the atmosphere. After another cup of tea, there was a creaking sound of a door opening from behind. Then, the sound of footsteps approaching. Gou Zhi stopped and the two people sitting on the chairs opened their eyes. The first person to come out was Sect Master An of the Su Nu Sword Sect, whose pale face glowed rosy.

The second one was Qin Rushuang, whose colorful robes glowed with brilliant divine light. The third one. Let’s not talk about it. Finally, it was Chen Yuan in green. He had just healed the injuries of three people and did not look tired at all. After all, it was all thanks to the Dragon Energy Mother Tree. However, among the three, Miss Qin from the capital had the heaviest injury and it would take some time to heal. Gou Zhi saw Chen Yuan and was about to ask, but Chen Yuan spoke first: "Brother Gou, don't be in a hurry, sit down." Then he looked at the three leading captains under his command, stepped forward, and asked with a serious look, "Have you figured out the formation I gave you the other day?" The day before yesterday, he said in the barracks that he would take his brothers home. Suddenly, he remembered that when he was tracking down the Beiliang retainers at Tianxiong Pass, he found a set of formation plates in a cave outside Tianxiong Pass. Stepping into this formation can transmit to Xijian Mountain in the city, two hundred miles away. If used well, it can be of great use. He took it out from Hu Tian's sleeve and gave it to the three of them to study. After all, he was the one who passed on the magical power of "array formation" to the three of them. Liu Qing, who had always been the leader, immediately lowered his eyebrows and said, "Sir, the three of us have already figured it out. This formation is called the Mountain-Crossing Formation, and it belongs to the Earth-Escape Formation in the Five Elements. Since we have the real thing, it is easy to copy it. However, the materials needed for the formation are relatively special and rare. They need to be rich in essence and have a hard texture to withstand the operation of the formation. The essence of heaven and earth contained in this spiritual material determines the transmission distance and number of times this formation can be used." Liu Qing explained this formation in great detail, and it seemed that he had indeed figured out something about it. After hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned at first, then relaxed, "Is the bone of the Tianguan demon suitable?" The demons in Tianguan are all treasures. Their fur can be used to forge armor and precious clothes, their flesh and blood can nourish the essence and accelerate cultivation, their bones are harder than gold and iron, and they may also have some magical properties. They can be used as spiritual materials and medicines, and even for refining weapons, including Taoist soldiers. Upon hearing this, Liu Qing immediately said, "General, you are wise. I have also thought of this, but this item is too precious and the quantity required is not small, so I dare not ask for it." Chen Yuan's eyebrows were expressionless. "As long as this thing can play a role at the critical moment, everything will be worth it. The three of you will come with me later. The demon bone is difficult to refine. I will help you refine it and you can brand it. Get this thing out as soon as possible." "Yes!" "Go down first and pass on my order. Order the troops to go ahead and head to Weiyuan Pass." "Decree" The three of them immediately bowed, stepped back, and quickly passed on the order. Soon, a sharp whistle was heard in the wind and rain outside.

Following closely were the shouts of the messengers and the neighing of horses. Soon, the sound of horse hooves spread, shaking the ground. In the hall, Chen Yuan quietly watched the troops outside move, then turned around and looked at Gou Zhi: "Gou Zhonglang, next, it's your turn!" "We are going to Weiyuan Pass. You stay in Guang'an Prefecture and arrange for the people to evacuate. They can't go north, so they can only go east. This mission is arduous and involves hundreds of thousands of lives. Only you are qualified for it. In addition, your main force cannot withdraw until you receive our signal. You need to be a backup. Also, send as many people as possible out and be careful of any situation in the northwest that blocks the way out." "We need to get started now. With so many people coordinating, there are a lot of things to do." When Gou Zhi heard this, he opened his mouth with a bitter look on his face, "Are we really going to withdraw?" He had heard about the demon tribe's breakthrough before, and before Chen Yuan came, he had thought of evacuating, but when it really came to this, he felt mixed emotions. After going through so much, his mentality had changed, and this feeling was a bit uncomfortable, after all, he had been here for so many years. "The situation is like this. One day when you and I can move up a level, maybe we can feel better." Chen Yuan stretched out his hand. Gou Zhi, the "little man" sitting on the chair, jumped down from the chair, and slapped and pinched the big hand with his "little hand". There was a crackling sound on his body, and his body swelled up, revealing his original big man appearance. His voice became heavy, and his eyes bulged slightly: "Master Chen, take care!" As he spoke, he shook his hand vigorously, then let go and quickly left the hall. When Chen Yuan heard these words, he was a little dazed for a moment. He opened his hands and remembered that in the foggy early morning, in that small alley in Qingshan County with the aroma of wine, there was always a hunchbacked old man waiting for him, and when he left, he told him to take care. I miss this little old man a little! Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at the five people left in the hall. The nostalgic look in his eyes had disappeared. "Everyone, if you have anything to say to the disciples, or if you need anything to prepare, you can go now. Master An, please go to the direction of Chishui Mansion again. According to the time, your disciples should be here soon. When we are done, we will meet at the west end of the city." "As for Miss Qin, you can go as you please. I have some things to do, please forgive me!" "it is good" Several people stood up and left the hall. Seeing this, Chen Yuan looked at the empty courtyard outside, sighed a little, then transmitted his voice and moved his lips a few times. After receiving the order, Liu Qing and the other two quickly appeared, entered the hall, and followed Chen Yuan into the quiet room behind the villa. Soon after, there were crackling sounds and a strange fragrance coming from inside. In Guang'an Prefecture, it was raining lightly in the morning, and the streets were deserted. "Rumble" Outside the Sky Patrol’s headquarters, the sound of horse hooves could be heard as they rushed towards the rain. In an instant, as the sound of horse hooves spread in all directions, the entire city gradually became noisy. The people, who were already on edge because of the evil spirits, opened their doors and windows a little when they heard the sound of horse hooves outside. When they saw that it was indeed the government troops, their hearts skipped a beat and a look of anxiety quickly appeared on their faces. It’s a sin. Any movement of the government troops means something is happening. Who wouldn't be afraid at this critical juncture? Is it possible that another evil disaster has come?

In the city, in front of a horse market close to the Patrol's headquarters, business was slow. The city had been closed for more than ten days, so it would be strange if there was any business. The shopkeeper was trying to figure out business but was also worried about how to make a living. But today, a group of soldiers arrived! The shopkeeper was startled and ran out quickly, greeting him with a smile, "Sir, I am a rare guest, a rare guest, what kind of horse do you want? I will give you a good price." The leading soldier took out an official document. "Boss, according to the order of the General of the Central Army, all the horses in your horse market have been requisitioned." "what?" The same scene occurred in all the carriage and horse shops in the city, as well as in every wealthy family that had carriages and horses. Soon, notices and official documents were posted in the streets and alleys. All families with carriages and horses were conscripted, allocated uniformly, and recorded in a register. Now, many people smelled something unusual. Suddenly, the whole city became noisy. (End of this chapter)
