The voice of the Island Lord of Qing Hu Island, Gu Yong, was still echoing in the sky. Teng Qingshan stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. He saw a figure the size of an ant leaving Qing Hu Island's camp. This figure quickly dashed to a distance of about eighty Zhang from the city wall.
He was hugging a tube that was over one Zhang tall.
"A water leak?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
In the land of the Nine Prefectures, there were sundials, hourglasses, water leaks, and many other tools to measure time. The working principle of this water leak was that there was a small hole at the bottom of the hourglass. Then, the water in the hourglass would flow at a constant speed. As the water flowed … … the scale iron needle floating on the water would slowly descend.
When the water flowed down, the top of the scale iron needle would be level with the top of the hourglass.
Once filled with water, it could flow slowly for twenty-four hours.
"Zhuge Yuan-hong!" The deep voice sounded again, "You saw this water leak. Six hours! You only have six hours! "
Standing on the city wall, Zhuge Yuan-hong, whose white robe was fluttering, spoke for the first time. His clear voice pierced through the air, "Gu Yong, the Gui Yuan Sect has been in Jiangning County for over a thousand years. It's not easy for you to turn the Gui Yuan Sect into a piece of scorched land. It's better not to start a war to avoid harming the harmony between us. "
"Haha … …" Gu Yong's reply was a string of laughter.
The sixth and seventh ranked experts of the 《Heavenly Ranking》 finished a simple conversation with a distance of three Li.
… …
In front of the camp of Qing Hu Island, thirteen innate experts gathered together.
General Lan, who was wearing armor, laughed and said, "This Zhuge Yuan-hong is still not anxious even at this point. He even said, 'It's better not to start a war to avoid harming the harmony between us.' What a joke! Let's see how anxious he will be after we destroy the Gui Yuan Sect! "The other innate experts also laughed. Their laughter was filled with confidence!
"Elders, do not underestimate that Zhuge Yuan-hong." Gu Yong smiled. "According to the previous plan, first, we'll work together to kill Zhuge Yuan-hong. Second, we'll capture that young man named Teng Qingshan alive."
"Rest assured, Island Lord."
Those Inborn experts smiled and nodded. Although they were confident, they were not arrogant.
"Everyone, return to the main tent and rest. In six hours, prepare to launch an all-out attack." Gu Yong instructed. Actually, the reason why they had delayed for six hours was because the Silver Dragon Army had hurried all the way here and were rather tired. If they rested for six hours, their physical strength would be at its peak. The second was to let the soldiers and disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect live in fear for six hours.
Gu Yong's words were enough to strike fear into the hearts of many people in the Gui Yuan Sect.
If they spent six hours in fear, their morale would hit rock bottom.
*****
Tens of thousands of people were gathered on the city wall.
The cold wind blew, blowing Zhuge Yuan-hong's long hair.
"Junior Brother Pang," Zhuge Yuan-hong instructed, "Go to the inner city and be in charge of the deployment of the troops in the inner city." Some of the troops of the Gui Yuan Sect were on the city wall of Jiangning County City, while the rest were in the inner city.
"Yes, Sovereign." Pang Shan bowed.
"Sovereign, what should we do if someone flees in fear?" Pang Shan asked again.
Zhuge Yuan-hong said indifferently, "Those below the rank of Commandant and Protector will be thrown into the dungeon! Those who resist will be put to death! Lieutenants, Protectors, and those above would have their Dantian broken and locked up in the dungeon if they tried to escape in the face of battle. Those who resist will be put to death as well! "
"Yes." Pang Shan replied.
In the sect, the higher one's position was, the more severe the punishment would be.
Actually, when Teng Qingshan and the others retreated to the Gui Yuan Sect yesterday, the Gui Yuan Sect quickly assembled its troops. Most of the non-combatants among the outer disciples were dismissed. The core disciples, the family members of the Black Armoured Corps soldiers, and those who were too weak also left the Gui Yuan Sect and went to other places in the county city.
The others had to face the war!
"Commander Teng Qingshan, lunch." A metal lunch box was handed to Teng Qingshan. It was already past noon.
Taking the lunch box, Teng Qingshan opened the lid and started eating. Very quickly, he finished everything.
"One battle … … That Tie Yi Hall was annihilated in one night. My Gui Yuan Sect … … "When Teng Qingshan thought of the battle between over a hundred thousand warriors six hours later, his heart trembled. He wasn't afraid for himself, but for his friends and family." In the chaotic battle, will cousin and Xiao Yu be able to survive? "
In the battle between thousands of soldiers and horses, even Teng Qingshan wasn't sure if he could survive, let alone Qingyu and Qinghu.
When Teng Qingshan thought of this, he felt even more uneasy.
"Teacher, I will go to the inner city to have a look." Teng Qingshan looked at Zhuge Yuan-hong. Previously, Zhuge Yuan-hong had told Teng Qingshan not to be ten Zhang away from him.
Zhuge Yuan-hong glanced at him and said, "Go. Come back in six hours."
"Okay."
Teng Qingshan nodded and ran towards the south.
The inner city and Jiangning County City had two walls that overlapped. This was because the inner city of the Gui Yuan Sect was located in the southeast area of Jiangning County City. Therefore, the eastern and southern city walls of the inner city were part of the eastern and southern city walls of the county city.
*****
In Gu Yong's tent in the army of Qing Hu Island.
A huge map was hung on the side of the tent. It was a detailed map of the entire Jiangning County.
Gu Yong stood in front of the map and analyzed it carefully.
"After thousands of years, the changes are indeed great." Gu Yong frowned as he studied the map carefully. "However, according to the map of Emperor Yu's Treasure, the location of the treasure should be in this area of Jiangning County … … However, after thousands of years of changes, it's really hard to find." He analyzed the geographical location carefully.
"Father." A voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
Gu Yong immediately turned and smiled, "Shiyou, come in." However, when his gaze swept across the square table in the tent, his smile instantly disappeared. With a cold expression, he hastily walked to the side of the square table. His gaze fell on a piece of paper on the table. He picked up the paper.
"Father." Gu Shiyou walked in and looked at his father in confusion.
Looking at the contents of the paper, Gu Yong's expression turned ugly. He shouted, "Shiyou, ask Elder Zhao, Elder Yuwen, Elder Hu, and Elder Wen to come here."
"Yes, father." Gu Shiyou was shocked.
This time, among the thirteen innate experts of Qing Hu Island, five were Golden Dan innate experts. Besides Gu Yong, the other five were the four elders that Gu Yong had just mentioned.
"Father, why did you suddenly summon the four Law Enforcing Elders?" Gu Shiyou didn't understand, but he felt … …
Something big happened!
… …
In the inner city of the Gui Yuan Sect, there were three thousand Black Armoured Corps soldiers, thirty thousand city guards, four thousand core disciples, and twenty thousand outer disciples. The entire inner city was filled with people.
In a watchtower, there were only Zhuge Yun and Qingyu.
"Qingyu." Zhuge Yun, who was wearing a full suit of armor, held Qingyu's hand and said in a low voice, "It will be dark in six hours. If our Gui Yuan Sect really can't withstand the battle tonight and starts to collapse, there will definitely be people who will flee. Remember, at that time, you will also mix with a large group of people and flee. "
"You will come with me." Qingyu, who was wearing a Red Scaled Battle Armor, said.
When the Red Scaled Beast's battle armor was brought back, the Sovereign gave Teng Qingshan two sets. These two sets were given by Teng Qingshan to his cousin, Teng Qinghu, and his sister, Qingyu.
"Stop fooling around!" Zhuge Yun shouted angrily.
Qingyu froze. Zhuge Yun was a very optimistic person and rarely used such a tone!
"Qingyu." Zhuge Yun's eyes widened and were bloodshot. "To tell you the truth, I am afraid when I think about what will happen in six hours! In one night, Tie Yi Hall will be destroyed in just one night. Even if our Gui Yuan Sect is lucky enough to survive, there will definitely be a lot of deaths. I am the Young Sovereign! I am the son of Zhuge Yuan-hong! I can't escape! And you … … Qingyu, I don't want to see you die. Do you understand? "
Qingyu's eyes turned red as she shook her head and said, "No, if we die, we die together!"
"Qingyu, Little Yun." A voice sounded.
The two turned their heads and saw a black figure standing at the watchtower's entrance.
"Brother." Qingyu hastily shouted.
"Little Yun." Teng Qingshan stared at Zhuge Yun and said, "Tonight, many people will die. I will fight with the men of Qing Hu Island in the outer city! In the sect's rules, my sister can leave. However, because of you, she insisted on defending the city with you. Therefore, you must protect her! "
Among the core disciples, those who entered the sect for a short period of time could leave.
As for Qingyu, she entered the Gui Yuan Sect for about half a year, which was too short. She could leave the Gui Yuan Sect. However, because of Zhuge Yun … … Qingyu refused to leave alone.
"Qingyu will live well. I promise!" Zhuge Yun gritted his teeth and said.
Teng Qingshan looked at him and then turned to look at Qingyu.
"You are very stubborn." Teng Qingshan sighed. Thinking of his sister in danger, Teng Qingshan was really unwilling. He even wanted to take his sister out by force. However, last night, his sister's determined eyes made him change his mind … … If it was him and Kitten, they would probably not separate even before death.
"Brother … …" Qingyu's voice was very low.
Teng Qingshan stretched out his hand and touched Qingyu's head, just like when they were young.
"Remember, live." Teng Qingshan's eyes were a little red.
"Brother, let's have breakfast together tomorrow." Qingyu couldn't help but cry.
Teng Qingshan looked at Zhuge Yun and then at his sister.
"Okay, let's have breakfast together tomorrow." Teng Qingshan immediately turned and left … … Perhaps, this would be the last time he would see his sister.
However, life is a process of choice.
Choose to leave your lover and save your life.
Or choose to live and die with your lover?
Teng Qingshan respected his sister's choice.
"Fight, fight!" Teng Qingshan left the inner city and returned to the outer city.
… …
Time passed. The sky darkened very early in the winter. After four hours, the sky was completely dark.
On the city wall, everyone held their weapons tightly.
"It will be six hours soon." Teng Qingshan looked at the needle of the hourglass.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps. Teng Qingshan turned his head and saw his cousin, Qinghu, standing beside him.
"Cousin, if I didn't bring you to Gui Yuan Sect, you might be very happy in Teng Jia Village. You might even have a wife and a son. Do you regret it?" Teng Qingshan said in a low voice. Teng Qinghu grinned. "Why are you talking about this? None of the men in Teng Jia Village are afraid of death! However, I do regret not getting married. If I died, the family line would be broken. "
"However, I, Teng Qinghu, have become a centurion of the Black Armoured Corps! It's better than being an ordinary villager for the rest of my life. Motherf * cker, tonight I will kill … … "
Teng Qingshan patted Qinghu's shoulder and didn't say anything.
Teng Qingshan's gaze fell on the hourglass below.
"Six hours are up!" Teng Qingshan's pupils shrank.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! " Heavy sounds that were like drums pounding on people's hearts resounded. Three Li below the city, Qing Hu Island's barracks immediately became noisy.
On the walls of Jiangning County City, the soldiers held their weapons tightly.
"Motherf * cker." Teng Qinghu gritted his teeth and stared into the distance.
Teng Qingshan held his Reincarnation Spear and stared into the distance.
