Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 205 Route
During the banquet, few people touched the food and wine, only Shen Jichi would occasionally pick up a few dishes that were not served here with his chopsticks.

Everyone's attention was focused on what Ren Shuangfei said.

"As far as I know, the fire phoenix was seriously injured when it flew to Lianxi Mountain and was on the verge of death. It is now in nirvana."

"Nirvana? Has it already happened, or will it happen in the future?"

"She has been in Nirvana for the past few months. The people from the world saved her and placed her in the volcano."

Yin Shu interrupted again, wondering, "Put it in a volcano? Wouldn't it be burned to ashes?"

Ren Shuangfei sneered, "That's a phoenix reborn from the ashes. Do you think it's just some chicken? Even the underground fire of Xishan Mountain can dry up the Xihe River, causing a severe drought in the fourteen states in the southwest of Yong State. You can see how powerful it is. You know, what does this mean to the strange people who are good at fire?"

Although Qu Jizhi did not have any special abilities, he replied, "It is a natural training ground."

"To be honest, I came here for this training ground. Unfortunately, it's occupied by the Realm People and the Fire Phoenix, so I can't get in."

After that, Ren Shuangfei smiled casually, turned to Long Minzhi, and said, "Mr. Long, do you have any way to get them out?"

When Gu Jingnian heard them say this, he already had a premonition in his heart.

really.

"Gu Jingnian." Long Minzhi said, "No matter how powerful the Fire Phoenix is, it is still connected to Gu Jingnian's blood and sweat."

Ren Shuangfei said, "Your people are omnipresent. They allowed Gu Jingnian to arrive here. I guess you must have planted spies around him?"

Long Minzhi smiled faintly, and although she didn't answer, she also acquiesced.

Ren Shuangfei looked at Qu Jizhi again and said, "You must be the same, right?"

Qu Jizhi let out a sigh of relief and did not deny it.

"So," Ren Shuangfei said, "I didn't attack that guy personally. Anyway, we have to cooperate."

Hearing this, Gu Jingnian quietly took two steps back, a little further away from Guan Tianze. Fortunately, when he looked over, Guan Tianze did not react much.

Everyone at the banquet continued chatting.

The following topic was very simple and clear. They planned to find Ying Yao nearby and then use Gu Jingnian, such as putting him in danger, in order to attract Ying Yao to show up.

After capturing Ying Yao, he obtained information about the people in the world from her and then tried to launch a sneak attack.

Ren Shuangfei was not a steady person. After the negotiation, he laughed and said, "The specific plan is not important. It can't keep up with the changes anyway. What's important is that we trust each other. Come on, let's make it clear!"

The subordinates of Zhong Wei and Qu Jizhi, who were also present, poured wine.

As Guan Tianze's confidant, Gu Jingnian also raised the wine glass and drank with everyone.

Since he knew that there was a spy arranged by Qu Jizhi around him, he guessed that he should be among the more than ten people assigned to him by Yin Jinggeng. He thought that he would report that he was not in the team today, so he decided to go back early.

After a while, Guan Tianze left on the pretext of arranging some trivial matters and walked to the back of the camp with Gu Jingnian.

The two didn't dare to talk much. Guan Tianze just patted Gu Jingnian on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look, meaning that he would not betray him.

After all, Guan Tianze is not stupid. He knows that everyone at today's banquet has their own ulterior motives and they are not a real force that can be relied upon.

Gu Jingnian then left quietly and disappeared into the night.

Over there, Guan Tianze returned to the banquet, walked to Mi Sheng's voice, and whispered, "I disposed of the confidant who was present just now."

"Oh." Mi Sheng sighed softly.

They did not intentionally let others hear this, but they knew that the people present would not ignore these small details.

--------

The other side of the valley.

Several young talents of Yong State sat around and looked up at the sky. Finally, they saw a glowing figure flying like a meteor from the direction of Lian Xi Mountain. It was Gu Jingnian.

"Where did the Marquis go?" Ji Xiangming asked.

"I'll go explore the way first."

"I have put in the effort, but have you gained anything?"

Gu Jingnian shook his head and glanced at the dozen or so people present, wondering who was the spy that Qu Jizhi had placed beside him.

In fact, he had a good impression of Qu Jizhi, and even now he did not think that Qu Jizhi was a bad person. But their positions were indeed different. The other party put the interests of Yong State first, while he only cared about protecting Ying Yao.

Different road non-phase plan.

After much thought, Gu Jingnian was too lazy to find out who the spy was in the team, and instead chose a more direct approach.

He decided to get rid of them all.

Of course, you can't make it too obvious, you still have to find a good time to avoid arousing suspicion.

That night, Gu Jingnian still shared a tent with You Yan and Hao Pangshui.

The two of them didn't want to live with Gu Jingnian at all, but when choosing people, Gu Jingnian chose them, saying that they had lived together before.

"But I snore." At that time, Hao Pangshui found a reason to politely refuse.

"Try to keep your voice down."

Because of Gu Jingnian's words, Hao Pangshui did not sleep well last night, always worried that his snoring would disturb Gu Jingnian. Tonight they went to bed early, but Gu Jingnian came back in the middle of the night and woke them up.

"Go on to sleep."

Hao Pangshui was finally about to fall asleep again when he suddenly heard Gu Jingnian talking in his sleep.

"Yingyao? Is that you? Where are you?"

Hao Pangshui couldn't help but sit up and listen carefully.

All I heard was Gu Jingnian muttering, "West of Wochuan, at the Deer Horn Hill..."

"Marquis Chengye?"

Hao Pangshui asked softly, scratched his head, and lay down depressed.

The next day.

Before You Yan woke up, Hao Pangshui said, "My Lord, you talked in your sleep last night, remember?"

"What?" Gu Jingnian was a little surprised and asked, "Is there?"

"Yes, I have."

Hao Pangshui repeated Gu Jingnian's dream talk.

"Hush." Gu Jingnian said, "Don't mention this to anyone else."

"Oh fine."

They left the tent, and Gu Jingnian asked Ji Xiangming for a map. After looking at it for a while, he chose a route and said, "Let's go."

Everyone still rode in the flying car, but it was difficult to cross the towering mountains, so they flew slowly among the rolling mountains.

Gu Jingnian had already inquired about the terrain of Lianxi Mountain from Ke Mengzong last night. He knew that Wochuan and Lujiaoqiu were one of the areas that many strangers had tried to explore in recent months but had found difficult to penetrate, so he led everyone there.

For some reason, after arriving at Lianxi Mountain, not only did the speed of the flying car slow down a lot, but even Gu Jingnian's speed of flying with the fire wings slowed down.

He always felt that his body was heavy, and the waving of his fire wings could not lift his body up as easily as usual.

I asked Ji Xiangming and he shared the same feeling.

After another two days of traveling, they were still far away from Wochuan, but they could no longer see any strange people around.

Two days later, at night, they camped at the foot of a sharp cliff, with a completely dry riverbed beneath their feet.

There used to be a river here, but unfortunately the riverbed has cracked, the trees on both sides have withered, and the air is filled with a hot and dry smell.

"My Lord, this place doesn't seem very safe. Maybe we should leave a few more people to guard the night." Ji Xiangming said, "I can guard for half the night."

"I can do it too." Gu Jingnian said.

Bai Ji said: "Count me in."

The huge owl beast in the team suddenly hummed in dissatisfaction, and then the petite Youyou jumped down and whispered, "Then... count me in, too."

Gu Jingnian noticed that the little girl glanced at him secretly with a strange look in her eyes, and he couldn't help but think that she might also be a spy sent by Qu Jizhi.

They did not light a bonfire at night because Gu Jingnian did not extinguish the fire wings on his back, which roasted the night watchmen surrounding him very dry.

But they still refused to leave and continued chatting in low voices.

Gu Jingnian wanted to find out if they knew about "realms", but he couldn't bring up the topic, so he asked Bai Ji, "Is your father the most powerful alien in Yong country?"

Bai Ji shook his head and said, "In the court, my father can be considered strong, but there should be some people in Yong State who are stronger."

"Who?"

"I don't know either." Bai Ji said, "I only heard my father say there were two or three people."

"I know someone." It was Youyou who spoke. "In the wild land of the western border, there was a person who single-handedly thwarted the westward advance of the imperial court's 30,000-strong army, and there were many extraordinary experts in the army."

After hearing this, Gu Jingnian couldn't help but guess that this person was most likely a person from the outer world.

He asked, "Who is so powerful?"

"I only heard that his name is Wang Yan, and he can command all creatures related to fire..."

"careful!"

As they were talking, several balls of light suddenly struck them.

Everyone brandished their weapons to block the incoming attacks, and when they looked over, they unexpectedly discovered that they were several skulls burning with phosphorous fire.

At this time, a bright moon was in the sky, but a series of clattering sounds were heard from the other side of the riverbed.

The owl became uneasy, growling and roaring at the riverbed in order to intimidate.

But the bones still appeared.

They were all emitting phosphorescent light, standing, walking, and approaching in strange postures. They were so densely packed that no one knew how many there were.
