Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 330: Mountain Scenery and Spring Breeze

After Xiao Ran and the other two found a place to sit down, another figure arrived soon after.

The man was dressed in white, with a white mask on his face, and in his hand he held a water, fire, gold and silver stick.

After the experience with Drunken King Kong just now, Dong Ruopu didn't dare to speak this time after he saw who the person was.

But there was no need for him to say anything. From the way everyone stood up, even Drunken King Kong stood up, Xiao Ran could easily guess that this person was the leader of this gathering.

Ouyang Baili.

I don't know much about these people in the underworld, and most of what I learned came from Dong Ruopu.

All we know is that this person is good at strategy, and every plan he makes is carefully considered, but he rarely has experience in fighting with others.

"Big brother!"

Everyone bowed to Ouyang Baili. Ouyang Baili slowly raised his hand to gesture, then looked towards Xiao Ran and Dong Ruopu.

"I heard that there are two new friends today, but I haven't consulted them yet."

"Xiao Ran." Xiao Ran nodded slightly, his voice very calm.

"Dong Ruopu!"

Dong Ruopu folded his hands in a salute, looking a little embarrassed.

After Ouyang Baili saw the performance of the two men, he laughed under his mask and said, "Thank you two brothers for your respect. Since you are here, we are brothers. I am Ouyang Baili."

After saying that, he bowed to Xiao Ran and Dong Ruopu, walked straight into the crowd, and raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

"I won't talk too much. Today, a group of Yellow Disaster troops have entered Ruzhou and are heading towards us."

"Hmm!" Everyone's expressions became serious when they heard this. The Locust God descended a few days ago. If it weren't for Concubine Frost's intervention, the entire Wancheng would have been in chaos by now.

Even so, there were still many people in the city who were seriously ill and had not recovered, and it was said that hundreds of people had died of the illness.

Therefore, they did not dare to be careless towards the Huang Zai Army.

Ouyang Baili continued: "However, according to reliable information, there are only more than ten people coming."

"More than ten people? Ha, then they are looking for death. I, Drunken King Kong, can kill them all by myself."

Upon hearing this, Drunken King Kong couldn't help but interrupt.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Baili signaled Zui Jin Gang to calm down: "Those who come with bad intentions will not come. The number of people is not the key point. The key point is who is coming."

"Who? Could he be the general in the Yellow Disaster Army?" someone asked jokingly.

But after saying this, Ouyang Baili didn't respond, and his face suddenly changed: "How could it be him!"

Ouyang Baili sighed: "It is Huang Chao, the great general of the Huangzai Army."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

As they traveled around the world, they knew the strength of this great general. Not to mention that he only brought a dozen people with him, even if he came alone, no one would dare to say that they could stop him.

"What is this person doing in Wancheng?"

Ouyang Baili looked at Qingnv. His expression could not be seen under the mask, but everyone present could feel Ouyang Baili's gaze.

Gao Yuting was startled and said, "Brother, please explain clearly."

"Frost Concubine!"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Yuting's body trembled slightly, and the Qingnv Sword in her hand hummed: "He dares!"

Everyone can feel how strong Gao Yuting's murderous intent is.

In fact, it wasn't just her, everyone present had a burning fire in their hearts.

That is the white moonlight in the hearts of many martial artists. How could such a vulgar demon dare to desecrate it?

"Hmph, let's attack together. I don't believe this guy has three heads and six arms." The flesh on Overlord Knife Chu Xiong's face trembled, and he wished he could pick up the knife and kill this man right now.

"No!"

Ouyang Baili hurriedly stopped their thoughts: "Don't do anything reckless. This person's strength is unfathomable. He may not be inferior to Shuang Fei. We can't compare with him."

"Brother, please give me some advice."

Gao Yuting bowed towards Ouyang Baili.

"Yes, the world says you are as good as Zhuge Liang. Mr. Ouyang, please give us some advice. We will never let this thief succeed even if we die."

Everyone stood up and responded.

Ouyang Baili frowned and pondered for a moment: "It's the affairs of the martial arts world. Since the other party dares to come, we should follow the rules of the martial arts world. We should set up a battle formation for him to delay time. We can also invite Ruzhou, the governor of Ruzhou, and the Taiyin Society, and ask Grandma Taiyin to come out!"

Xiao Ran stood behind and listened, but gradually frowned.

This method may sound feasible at first glance, but upon closer inspection it is full of loopholes.

If Lu Cheng were allowed to come to Wancheng, Ruzhou would inevitably be left leaderless. If the main force of the Huangzai Army headed directly for Ruzhou at this time, it would be a big trouble.

Besides, you have talked about the affairs of the underworld. Lu Cheng represents the officialdom. If you let him bring a large army to attack, the people in Wancheng will be happy, but how can those underworld people in Wancheng give up?

What's more, what will be Nuomen's position at that time?
These are all things that are not even remotely related. Is this the level of Sai Zhuge? ?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran immediately objected: "Since it is a matter of the martial arts world, why should a Jiedushi be involved? Shouldn't the Nuomen stand up at this time? Once Wancheng is breached, they will be the first to suffer."

After Xiao Ran said this, everyone felt that it made some sense.

Ouyang Baili had his own ideas, "The governor of Ruzhou has the responsibility to protect Ruzhou. This is his duty. What's more, I am worried that if Huang Chao gets angry and marches south, Wancheng will be robbed. I invited the governor of Ruzhou to prevent Huang Chao from doing something desperate."

After Ouyang Baili said this, Xiao Ran stopped arguing, but he had already made up his mind that when he returned today, he would send a message to Brother Lu in his dream to tell him not to take risks with his army.

Seeing that Xiao Ran stopped talking, Ouyang Baili slowed down his tone and said, "Nuomen naturally cannot stay out of this matter. I will go to Nuomen in person for this matter."

Then he took out a portrait from his sleeve and distributed it to everyone.

"There is one more thing. The prison in Ruzhou was robbed today. A criminal was kidnapped. This criminal is cunning and treacherous. He was once the leader of an evil sect. He should still be in the city. Please keep an eye out for him. If you find him, kill him without mercy."

When Xiao Ran heard Ouyang Baili's words, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Wait until you get the portrait and take a look.

"Hey, it's the butcher after all!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran's eyes became strange when he looked at Ouyang Baili.

"I'm afraid this guy is having an affair with Nuomen."

Xiao Ran calmly put the portrait away, thinking: "It seems that the butcher's memory really does contain some incredible secrets. I must study it carefully when I get back."

"Everyone, this matter is urgent right now. When Wancheng is relieved tomorrow, we will not stop drinking until we are drunk!"

Seeing that everything had been explained, Ouyang Baili stopped wasting time and picked up a bowl of tea, drinking it instead of wine: "Gather the righteous alliance, and the traitor..."

"Death by a thousand cuts!"

Everyone raised their cups of tea and drank it all in one gulp. As soon as the tea was finished, they stood up and left.

"That's it."

Dong Ruopu looked melancholy, feeling that this was too fast. Shouldn't they be sitting together drinking and eating meat, enjoying the world? ? Xiao Ran rolled her eyes at him.

Drinking and eating meat to enjoy the world? That is after things are done and everyone's strength has been demonstrated, then they can sit together and discuss their qualifications.

You are a newcomer, who would sit down with you to drink, eat meat and enjoy the world?
Even if we are good brothers in real life, we still have to fight together and...

Ahem, at worst we'll have to get beaten together.

Without this relationship, who would call you a brother?

"Brother Xiao, it seems that you haven't had enough fun at this gathering. Why don't we have a lightness skill competition and go to the Jade Emperor Peak of Purple Mountain to see what the moonlight looks like on the top of the mountain."

At this time Gao Yuting walked to Xiao Ran, folded her arms, and invited him.

In fact, this place is not far from the top of the mountain. An ordinary person can climb there in about half an hour. If two people use light skills to climb the mountain, the speed will naturally be faster.

"How dare I not come when Qingnv invites me?"

After saying that, Xiao Ran looked at Dong Ruopu who was standing beside him and said, "Just wait here."

Even if you drift with the wind, you must take a step ahead.

"Oh, you are such a scoundrel!"

Seeing this, Gao Yuting stomped her feet, stood up and followed him.

I saw Gao Yuting's skirt fluttering in the wind, with the tasseled belt around her waist fluttering along with it, and I couldn't help but admire her in my heart.

Of course, there was another young man standing nearby who also admired them. Seeing Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting flying together, his originally handsome face now had veins bulging and the scabbard in his hand made a slight clinking sound.

"Whoosh..."

The mountain breeze blew on his face, and two figures rushed straight to the top of the mountain, one after the other. When they were about to land on the top of the mountain, Xiao Ran paused, and a beautiful figure passed by him.

"Ha! I won!"

Gao Yuting raised her chin proudly and took off the mask on her face. The moonlight shone on her cheeks, casting a layer of bright glow, and even her hair became soft.

Xiao Ran's eyes widened when he saw this scene, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Gao Yuting couldn't help but laugh at the embarrassed look.

Xiao Ran coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and then walked to the top of the mountain.

Facing the mountain and looking towards Wancheng, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He glanced at Gao Yuting cautiously from the corner of his eye and felt his heart pounding in his throat.

He has never been in love.

I have no experience in this area.

"Damn it, if I had known I would have killed a few scumbags and learned how to pick up girls."

Just as Xiao Ran was racking his brains to think of how to start the conversation, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

When he looked up, he saw Gao Yuting staring at him with bright eyes. The distinct black and white in her pupils made Xiao Ran start to panic.

"My master said that this yellow disaster is destiny, which means that the dynasty is about to end. The world... is going to be in chaos."

After saying that, Gao Yuting took a step back.

“Crack…”

Two pieces of rubble rolled down the cliff from under his feet, causing Xiao Ran to shout, "Be careful!"

As he said this, he was about to go forward and pull it.

"Buzz!!" The piercing sound of the sword, filled with chilling murderous intent, made Xiao Ran stop.

Looking at the sword pointing at his throat, Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Yuting in front of him in confusion.

"You showed up at my sister's house that day, and I didn't ask you what on earth you were doing there."

"But I want an answer today!"

"What an answer!"

Xiao Ran looked up at Gao Yuting.

"Who are you and what position do you stand on?"

This made Xiao Ran a little confused. Isn’t it so special to check household registration in this era?

But this question forced Xiao Ran to rack his brains to think about how to answer it.

Seeing that Xiao Ran remained silent, Gao Yuting's eyes flashed with determination, and she pushed the sword forward, almost touching Xiao Ran's throat.

"Are you from the Taiyin Society? Or are you from the imperial court? Or are you an undercover agent of the Nuo Sect?"

"neither."

Xiao Ran shook his head and met Gao Yuting's gaze: "I can only say that I am a good person."

He couldn't explain his origin to Gao Yuting. How could he explain? An alien? An initiate? Or should I say, an invader?
Xiao Ran thought for a long time and finally gave the answer: only good people.

At least you can be true to your conscience in the way you conduct yourself and do things.

“How to prove it!”

If it were someone else, it would be really hard to prove. Xiao Ran just threw away a corpse.

"Does the body of Nuomen Li Shao count?"

When Gao Yuting saw the body thrown out by Xiao Ran, she almost threw away the sword in her hand.

"It's him!"

Of course she recognized Li Shao. This old fellow, respected as Li Gong, was one of the thirty-six gods of Nuo and also the great protector of Nuo.

If there was any suspicion that he had killed Zhao Shixiong before, perhaps it was a self-torture tactic, then Li Shao's body was enough to prove that Xiao Ran was definitely not a member of the Nuo Sect.

"If you don't believe me, I have other corpses to prove it, but you may not recognize them. If I must choose a faction, then I am willing to follow you. Wherever you stand, I will stand there."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran took a deep breath and strode towards Gao Yuting.

He let the sword cut a gash on his neck.

Gao Yuting came to her senses when she saw the blood sliding down the blade, but at this moment her waist tightened and in front of her were Xiao Ran's fiery eyes.

“Ding! Bang!!”

The blood-stained [Green Girl Sword] fell to the ground, making a buzzing sound.

Soon a cool breeze blew, and the tasseled ribbons fluttered in the wind, hanging on the hilt of the sword, waving in the wind.

There is a saying: "Tears fall on the green grass and the leaves turn red. Under the moon, butterflies are in the flowers. The mountains are sewn into a thick pillow of spring green. The clouds are used as tents and the ground is used as a bed..."

　There will be another update tonight, a little later.
