After being promoted to the Inner Qi Realm, Xu Ning was more confident.

The current self can almost be said to be the first person in the seventh level of the mortal realm.

Going a step further, Xu Ning's strength was enough to be the captain of Kangyun County.

Next, before going to bed, Xu Ning routinely took a look at Qianyuan Insect.

At this moment, the fat white bug in the crock pot remained motionless.

Xu Ning poked it a few times before it moved reluctantly.

"This Qianyuan Insect seems to have gained weight..."

Xu Ning found that the Thousand Origin Worm had gained weight after hatching, which was not the same as the growth path of the Thousand Origin Worm described by Wei Binglin before.

After a normal Thousand Origin Worm hatches, it will take at least three months for the physical changes to be detected by the naked eye.

But less than a month has passed since the Thousand Origin Worm hatched.

However, although he was puzzled, Xu Ning didn't take it too seriously. After all, the crystals of spiritual energy discharged by the Thousand Origin Insect were quite normal.

Looking at this languid fat white bug, Xu Ning only hoped that it would grow faster. By then, he would have obtained a higher-quality spiritual energy crystal.

...

the next day.

Outside the city of Kangyun County, the fortifications have been basically completed.

The number of refugees in the past has decreased a lot.

It was heard that Qiuyun County had fallen, and the refugees left Kangyun County again and went further afield.

"Sir, there was an accident in Lushui Lane last night."

As soon as Xu Ning walked into Weiyi, Feng Sigua came up and reported the news.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Ning heard this and asked quickly.

"Xiaowei Du of Lushui Lane was assassinated by his subordinates last night."

Feng Sigua's words shocked Xu Ningpo.

"What about people? Injured?"

Xu Ning hurriedly asked.

"People are dead."

Feng Sigua's answer exceeded Xu Ning's expectations.

"The black armored guard who assassinated Colonel Du escaped from the county town last night."

Feng Sigua continued: "After he killed Xiaowei Du, he escaped in an open and honest manner under the name of going out of the city to perform a mission."

"Xiaowei Du is also a Qi Sense Realm martial artist after all, how could he be assassinated by a black armored guard?"

Xu Ning then asked.

"Poison."

Feng Sigua lowered his voice.

"Poison?"

Xu Ning frowned.

That cost is too high.

In this world, there are many martial artists, and ordinary poisons have no effect on them.

Especially after being promoted to the Qi Sense Realm, the body has internal Qi, and after discovering that the body is unwell, the poison can be easily discharged by exerting force.

Only those poisons that are too poisonous to react quickly, or that enter the body silently, can cause damage to the warriors above the Qi Sense Realm.

And the cost of making these poisons is even higher than the tonic resources consumed by cultivating a martial artist of the same realm.

"It's really worth the cost..."

Xu Ning's face was rather gloomy.

This method of the enemy is obviously not as simple as simply killing a captain.

This will directly affect the stability of the Heijiawei.

After this happened, everyone in the Black Armored Guards had to wonder if their companions were enemies.

Even the captain of the Qi sense realm can no longer guarantee that he can resist the sneak attack and assassination of his subordinates.

"poison……"

The original Xu Ning didn't pay much attention to poison.

Especially after being promoted to Inner Qi Realm, his strong inner Qi can basically resist most poisons.

Only a few extremely high-quality poisons can inflict damage on oneself.

But at the moment, the other party obviously has a strong background, and he can even do things like killing people with poison regardless of the cost.

Xu Ning felt that this might have something to do with the fact that the other party was a demon, with a crazy and reckless style of doing things.

"Looks like you have to be more careful in the future..."

Regarding the enemy, Xu Ning's vigilance was heightened again.

...

Inside the commanding mansion.

Originally, today's Wei Changqing was quite happy.

Because of his previous inquiry to the family, he has already received a reply.

Before, Wei Changqing had been wondering why Yunying City had not dispatched reinforcements.

Now, the elders of the family have already figured out this issue for him.

According to the reply, all the senior management of Yunying City have been focusing on a major event recently.

And this matter is so big that even if the counties in the southeastern border of Feiyun Prefecture are all reduced, the senior officials of Yuansheng Sect and Heijiawei will remain indifferent.

What exactly happened, the letter did not say.

However, in addition to explaining the situation, the letter also brings good news.

That is the major event that the top management of Yunying City focused on, and it has come to an end.

Now Yunying City is starting to dispatch a support team, and they will set off in a few days.

As long as reinforcements arrive, the predicament of Kangyun County can be solved.

This incident made a big stone fall in Wei Changqing's heart.

However, not long after he heard the good news, Wei Changqing got another bad news.

His subordinate, the captain of Lushui Lane, was assassinated by his subordinate with poison.

Wei Changqing knew what kind of bad effects this would bring.

In order to prevent this negative influence from spreading in the black armored guards, Wei Changqing immediately decided to announce the news that the reinforcements were coming.

This is done, first, to appease people's hearts, and second, to demonstrate to the enemy.

...

A few days have passed.

Pottery Village.

Xu Ning's home.

Tao Yunchuan went home with a heavy heart.

He had just attended the meeting in the village.

"How is it, what did Zhuangli say at the meeting?"

As soon as Tao Yunchuan returned home, Xu Lian asked eagerly.

A few days ago, the news of the fall of Qiuyun County came.

Everyone in the village was panicked by the news.

The war stopped for thirty years, and now it is about to be ignited in Kangyun County.

"Zhuang Li said that the current situation is not optimistic, those rebels, attacking Kangyun County is inevitable."

Speaking, Tao Yunchuan sighed.

"Then what?"

Xu Lian is a bit confused.

Tao Yunchuan said: "Zhuangli has already made preparations. In the past few days, he has reached a consensus with Songjiazhuang, Tanjiazhuang, and even our two local horse gangs, the Saber Gang and Huadie Gang."

"During the war, everyone gave up their past prejudices and frictions and helped each other. If the enemy harassed and invaded, everyone would resist together."

Tao Yunchuan said: "But overall, we are not in great danger. The main energy of the rebels is to deal with the defenders of Kangyun County."

"Deal with the defenders of Kangyun County?"

Hearing this news, Xu Lian was not relieved, but even more worried: "What about Xu Ning?"

Tao Yunchuan frowned upon hearing this.

He was also very worried about Xu Ning's safety.

But on the surface, Tao Yunchuan still comforted Xu Lian and said, "Don't worry, the gathering also said that Yunying City has already sent reinforcements to help. As long as it survives the enemy's attack, then Kangyun County will definitely be able to keep it."

"Xu Ning is a colonel, don't you say he is already very powerful? It shouldn't be difficult for Xu Ning to save his life in the war."

In fact, Tao Yunchuan was very worried about Xu Ning's safety, but in order to comfort his wife, he could only say that.

"It's good to have reinforcements..."

Hearing this news, Xu Lian seemed to be slightly relieved.

For a while, the room was relatively silent.

In fact, the Xu Ning family was just a microcosm.

Everyone in Kangyun County was covered in the haze of war.

But fortunately, knowing that there are reinforcements on the way, everyone still has hope in their hearts.

Everyone is looking forward to the end of the war and the return to the peaceful days before.
