The hall fell silent.
Whether it is the county magistrate or the Marquis of Yao, or the two palace lords of Xing Xing and Xing Lu, they all know some battle reports, but they are far less comprehensive than the ones here in the Sword Holding Palace.
After all, the lord of the Sword Palace temporarily acted as the county governor, and everything would be taken over by the Sword Palace during the war, so the news here was naturally the most complete.
"Did you hear that?" The palace master of the Sword Holding Palace was expressionless and slowly spoke.
"County Cheng, it's not that I don't want to use better means to send those foreign people to send strong people, but I don't have time."
The county magistrate fell silent.
"Yao Hou, why haven't 70% of the alliance's allied forces been dispatched yet? Asking for a huge amount of supplies is so bold!" The voice of the palace master of the sword palace revealed a touch of slaughter.
"And the more than 400 ethnic forces that refuse to send strong people, at this time, once the Sea Sea County is in chaos, what will happen to them? Yao Hou, have you ever thought about it!"
"Now that the two major battlefields have reached and are dangerous, and Fenghai County has reached such a level, Kong killed some foreigners, why do you need to chatter!"
The palace master of the Sword Holding Palace had a cold tone, and the entire hall was cold.
"What if those foreigners join forces to resist?" Yao Hou frowned, his face gloomy, and looked at the palace master of the Sword Holding Palace.
"Kill." The palace master of the Sword Holding Palace Dan passed this word.
"If you send a strong person to rebel on the battlefield? Are you done killing!"
"Xu Qing, inform the four deacons to continue to exterminate the clan, I see who dares to disobey." The palace master of the Sword Holding Palace spoke slowly, ignoring Yao Hou.
Xu Qing nodded and recorded it.
"Kong Liangxiu, you are stubborn and self-willed, if you do this, if Fenghai County cannot be defended, those foreigners will ......" Yao Hou stood up and stared at the palace master of the sword-wielding palace.
The palace master of the sword-wielding palace looked at Yao Hou coldly.
"If Fenghai County is destroyed, what am I still thinking about doing with these foreigners?"
Yao Hou stared at the palace master of the Sword Holding Palace, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.
"Yao Tianyan, the aliens of the alliance, when will it start?" The palace master of the sword-wielding palace narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke calmly.
"One day!" Outside the main hall, Yao Hou snorted coldly.
The county magistrate sighed, got up and bowed to the palace master of the Sword Holding Palace, and left as well, as for the other two palace masters, they each got up expressionlessly and left the main hall.
Soon, the entire hall became quiet, with only Xu Qing and the palace master.
"Palace master, my subordinates retire." After waiting for a while, he didn't see any other instructions from the palace master, so Xu Qing bowed deeply and left the hall.
When everyone left, the palace master was silent for a long time, took out a jade slip, gently pinched it on it, looked up in the direction of the Yao Mansion, and slowly frowned.
"Is it him?"
At the same time, Yao Hou, who left the Sword Holding Palace, looked full of anger until he returned to his mansion, and in the secret room, the anger on his face disappeared, turning into a deep gloom, muttering.
"It shouldn't be Kong Liangxiu, so who murdered the county governor......"
Time passed slowly, and ten days passed.
In the past ten days, Xu Qing has not had any time to rest at all, and more and more battle reports from all sides are gathering every day, especially as the armies on the two major battlefields in the northwest arrive one after another, the battle with the Shenglan clan has also begun to proceed tragically.
Battle reports will come every moment.
Among them, Yao Hou, he did what he said that day, and it only took one day to know how to communicate, so that those alliance foreigners were dispatched.
And he himself, along with most of the Yao Mansion's clan, also went to the northern battlefield.
Before leaving, he didn't see anyone alone.
However, Xu Qing saw the palace master walk out of the hall and looked in the direction of Yao Hou.
And the actions of the four major deacons, and even the arrival of the two deputy palace masters, under the forced promotion, finally deterred all the foreign tribes who did not participate in the war, so that the strong people in their clan had to obey the decree of the Sword Palace and were scattered among the armies of different states.
So in today's Fenghai County, except for the battlefield, there are no spiritual treasures and void monks.
This is true even for prisoners.
The higher the cultivation, the more they were arrested first, as for those weaker prisoners, although there were still many who hid, but the powerful ones had all been killed.
So soon, the sword bearers who went out began to return, and finally on this tenth day, they all returned to the county capital.
At this time, the critical situation on the battlefield has also reached a critical moment.
The number of casualties was shocking every day, and it was getting more and more, until late at night on the tenth day, he received an emergency from the west and the north at the same time.
The entire border blockade of the forbidden magic weapon of Fenghai County is about to collapse and cannot last long, and once it collapses, the army of the Holy Lan clan will enter Fenghai County like a flash flood.
But the reinforcements of the human race still haven't arrived.
Even Xu Qing knew through the battle report that at this moment, the imperial realm and other counties that were extremely far away from here had also encountered a similar situation, the Black Heaven Clan...... launched a large-scale dispatch.
The various dependent clans under his command also broke out, and the entire human race territory was in danger for a while.
When this battle report was handed over to the palace master by Xu Qing, the palace master obviously knew that he was wearing battle armor alone in the main hall.
This battle armor was black and consisted of hundreds of pieces, and any piece exuded a terrifying power.
Seeing Xu Qing, his expression was as serious as ever, and he waved to him.
"Come on, help me get a grade."
Xu Qing walked silently, picked up the battle armor, and put it on for the palace master, who stood there, looking at the sunset in the distance, and suddenly smiled.
"The last time I went to the top of the league, my eldest son was by my side, many years."
Looking at the palace master who was obviously much older during this time, Xu Qing remembered what the ghost hand had told him about the death of the palace lord's son in battle.
"My eldest son committed suicide, I arranged for him to infiltrate the Shenglan tribe back then, and his identity was exposed after the mission was completed. The palace master spoke calmly.
Xu Qing was silent, picked up another piece of battle armor, and continued to wear it for the palace master.
"I also have a second son, who has a very straightforward personality, values love and righteousness, but is also romantic and very contradictory, so it is easy to be plotted to death."
"But no one knows that he still has heirs, my grandson...... Very good, very good." The palace master smiled, Xu Qing had never seen a smile on the palace master's face, this was the first time.
And the grandson he was talking about, after Xu Qing learned that the palace lord's surname was Kong a few days ago, he already had some guesses in his heart.
However, this smile dissipated from the palace master's face after Xu Qing put on the last piece of armor for him.
His expression was serious again, giving people a sense of rigidity and extremely harshness, he took the helmet handed by Xu Qing and spoke in a deep voice.
"Xu Qing, order the magistrate palace and the punishment palace, please go to the northern theater of operations, we must hold on!"
"And I, I will lead 100,000 sword bearers to the western battlefield, and I will go to see how much the cultivation of those old guys of the Holy Lan Clan has increased."
Xu Qing responded solemnly.
"Palace master, when will we leave, I'll go prepare."
"You don't have to go to the battlefield, I will arrange a stand-in for you to be seen in your place." The palace master turned his head, his eyes deepened, and looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, he looked at the palace master in front of him, after the dark battle armor was worn on the other party's body, a thick evil aura rose to the sky, and vaguely it seemed that there were countless fierce beasts roaring around him, and even more so on the battle armor, countless ferocious souls emerged.
"I have other arrangements here, you are going to carry out a confidential mission." The palace master's eyes fell on Xu Qing's eyes, as if he wanted to look at him more closely.
"After you burn incense, set off, go to Chaoxia Prefecture, go to the secret place of the Sword Holding Palace there, and secretly investigate something for me!"
After saying that, the palace master raised his hand and handed a jade slip to Xu Qing.
This jade slip was the one he lightly squeezed in his hand alone in the hall a few days ago.
Xu Qing took the jade slip, with a solemn expression, and did not speak.
The palace master turned his head and looked at the sunset in the sky outside the main hall, and after a long time, he slowly spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
"Half a month ago, it was also such a sky, the county magistrate...... fell."
"Xu Qing, if I die in battle this time, you will hand over this jade slip to the new county governor appointed after the arrival of the Terran reinforcements."
"The jade slip is a clue about the sudden fall of the old county magistrate that I investigated during this time......"
Xu Qing's heart was shocked and looked at the palace master.
The palace master still looked at the sunset in the outside sky, and a low voice came out calmly.
"The death of the old county governor is full of weirdness, this matter is far from as simple as the assassination of the Holy Lan clan, the old county governor's cultivation is half a step away, how can he fall silently, or even without any resistance, if I hadn't known him as an old man, I would have thought that he was doing this on purpose!"
"But the old county magistrate, but he really fell, his death...... There is a big problem."
"But time is running out, I don't have time to continue the investigation."
"I don't know who the emperor will send to Fenghai County, but you can give it to him."
"And the reason why I gave it to you is because I don't trust anyone here, and my grandson is even more impulsive and not suitable for doing this!"
"Yao Tianyan, the county magistrate, the lord of the Criminal Law Palace and the master of the palace, they may all be behind the scenes, the death of the old county magistrate, the collapse of the criminal prison department, must have been done by their own people in the county capital, and even in the eyes of some people, my suspicion is the greatest!"
"The person behind this scene is hiding too deeply, if it is not dug up, Fenghai County will be in turmoil...... Xu Qing, I believe you are not the other party's person, not because of your origin, but because of your brilliance."
The palace master spoke softly.
Xu Qing's breathing was rapid, and these words from the palace master made his heart rise with huge waves.
"I'll give you another token, this token allows you to go to any secret place of the Sword Holding Palace in Fenghai County, without military merit, and it will not cause fluctuations in the secret formation, you can secretly sneak in to investigate."
"In addition, this token also contains the right to kill a forbidden magic weapon in the county capital to ensure your safety during your investigation."
After the palace master took out a blue token and handed it to Xu Qing, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall, until he reached the door, he turned his back to Xu Qing, and suddenly heard a low sound.
"Xu Qing, do you still remember the first thing I said when I saw you in the Criminal Prison Department a year ago?"
"Remember!" Xu Qing looked at the palace master.
"Read it out."
"As a sword bearer, everyone is a human sword, and we must always be ready to die for the human race." Xu Qing spoke loudly.
When the palace master heard this, he laughed, put on the helmet of the battle armor, and the moment he stepped out of the main hall, his voice echoed in Xu Qing's ears.
"I am also a sword bearer!"
