NOVEL NEXT Chapter 85 Shadow Secret Guard
More than ten kilometers away from Qingfeng City, there is an unnamed hill. At this time, there are more than 20 people dressed as ordinary people resting here. It's just that these people are rough and tough, and they don't look like ordinary peasants at all.
But these people surrounded a middle-aged man in the middle. The middle-aged man had bright eyebrows and restrained aura. Even wearing simple linen clothes could not conceal his aristocratic air.
Obviously, these people are not ordinary people, and the middle-aged man is the leader of these people.
At this moment, a person galloped over from the direction of Qingfeng City.
The middle-aged man took the water bag from his subordinates and threw it to the visitor. The visitor raised his head and drank a few mouthfuls of water, put down the water bag, and took a few deep breaths.
"Zhao Si, how is the situation?" the middle-aged man asked aloud.
"Boss, the situation is not optimistic." Zhao Si panted, and said with a look of fear: "Qingfeng City only sent one person to fight at first, but who knew that person turned out to be a strong master, and the Zongmen coalition forces suffered a lot. Lost. Later, Qingyun Sect Grand Elder Feng Qingyun died in battle, and later Qingyun Sect's other Grand Elder named Xiao Yun made a move."
"Xiao Yun?"
Hearing this name, the middle-aged man seemed to feel a little familiar. Suddenly he remembered something, stood up immediately, and said in surprise: "Are you sure it's really Xiao Yun?"
"Boss, my subordinates can be sure that it is Xiao Yun. Everyone in the Qingyun Sect knelt down and called him Patriarch." Zhao Si replied affirmatively.
"Boss, who is this Xiao Yun?" Seeing the excitement of the middle-aged man, one of his subordinates asked curiously.
"You joined late, so it's not surprising that you didn't know Xiao Yun. Back then, Xiao Yun did a big thing, which triggered a war between Qin and Wei. Back then, the ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty personally killed him, but still Let him escape back to Qingzhou. After more than a hundred years, Xiao Yun's strength must be even more terrifying, and I am afraid that only the royal family can hold him down." The middle-aged man explained.
"Any more news?" The middle-aged man then asked.
"Boss, a few more people came out later. One was Qingfeng Sect sent a female grandmaster who was very powerful. And Qingyun Sect invited a strong grandmaster named Nanshan Tongzi."
Hearing Nanshan boy's name, the middle-aged man was not so excited, "Nanshan boy, he is a master of the older generation. Rumor has it that this Nanshan boy got a strange book of exercises by accident. The speed of cultivation in the early stage is extremely fast, but in the later stage
The speed of practice will slow down, and there is a side effect, that is, the appearance will always remain young, and it will never grow up. It would be fine if he practiced in his twenties, but it is a pity that he started to practice in his teens, which made him look like a boy now. "
"This boy from Nanshan was also a man of influence in Qingzhou back then. He competed against Xiao Yun. The late emperor asked him to serve as an enshrinement in the dynasty several times, but he refused."
All the subordinates gasped when they heard this, and they didn't expect that this sect war would attract so many master masters.
They also know that the Great Qin Dynasty is not as simple as it appears on the surface. There are definitely not a few strong masters, for example, their leader is a strong master.
But I didn't expect so many masters to appear in the poorest Qingzhou.
They didn't dare to imagine how many powerful masters there would be in the royal capital of the Great Qin Dynasty.
"By the way, leader, the Qingfeng Sect sent another master master later on. This person seems to be even more powerful than Xiao Yun and Nanshan boy."
Even stronger than Xiao Yun and Nanshan Tongzi, even a middle-aged man with a stable mind like Mount Tai couldn't hold back and asked, "Who is it?"
"It seems to be called Wu Hai, yes, the leader, he is called Wu Hai." Zhao Si tried his best to recall, and said with certainty.
"Wu Hai——" when the middle-aged man heard the name, his pupils dilated instantly, "The number one master in Qizhou suddenly disappeared in Qizhou back then. It was reported that he had passed away. I didn't expect that after so many years, he It actually appeared in Qingzhou, and even joined the Qingfeng Sect."
"Boss, is Wu Hai really that powerful?" one of his subordinates asked in disbelief.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath of air, and said: "It's more than powerful. It's recorded in our Shadow Secret Guard file that when he disappeared, he was already at the peak of the Grandmaster. After so many years, even if he failed to step Taking that step is extremely terrifying. When you meet him, you must not mess with him."
"The pinnacle of the master—"
Everyone around was stunned.
Grandmasters are definitely strong even in the capital, and the royal family will treat them with care, but now there is a strong Grandmaster at the peak level, which has exceeded their expectations.
"With such an existence as Wu Hai, there is no hope for Qing Yunzong in this battle." The middle-aged man said with a sigh.
"Boss, what should we do? The origin of the power behind Qingfengzong is unknown, and so many masters and powerful people have been recruited
, This is definitely a huge hidden danger to the Great Qin Dynasty. "
The middle-aged man looked serious, and said: "This Zongmen war was apparently led by Qingyunzong, but in fact it was pushed behind by the king. The king originally thought that Qingyunzong could uproot Qingfengzong, who knows Qingfengzong can even recruit a peak master like Wu Hai." Pen Fun Library
"Leader, what shall we do then?" the subordinate asked.
"Qingfengzong is no longer something we can deal with." The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly. The strength shown by Qingfengzong would not be able to do it even if all the shadow guards were gathered together.
"..." subordinates.
The Shadow Secret Guard is a secret intelligence organization set up by the Great Qin Dynasty when it was founded. At first, it secretly monitored all officials, and then gradually monitored the entire Great Qin Dynasty.
As the name suggests, Shadow Secret Guards are fast-moving, decisive in killing, and follow them around like a god of death.
The Shadow Secret Guard is only under the command of King Qin, and who is the leader, except for the Shadow Secret Guard, very few outsiders know.
This middle-aged man is the leader of this generation of shadow guards, named Zhang Yan, who is deeply trusted by the current king of Qin.
Zhang Yan's eyes shone with wisdom. After pondering for a while, he said: "We will pass the news back to the capital. As for how to deal with it, it depends on the king's wishes. Don't forget, we came to Qingzhou this time. The mission is to find His Royal Highness the Princess."
All the subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that the leader would get mad and send them to help Qing Yunzong.
Then they are going to die.
Fortunately, the leader was not so impulsive.
"Boss, we have followed the footsteps of His Royal Highness to come here. His Royal Highness must have entered Qingfeng City. Now that the people of Qingfeng City are empty, His Royal Highness must have been taken away by the Qingfeng Sect. Qingfeng Sect With such great strength, it might not be so easy for us to take him away," said the subordinate.
"No matter what, we must bring His Royal Highness back this time."
"The king gave the order to die this time, and it has reached the point where there is no need to delay."
"If we can't bring His Royal Highness back home, there might be no need for our Shadow Secret Guards to exist."
"So, no matter how much you pay, you must bring the princess back to the capital safely." Zhang Yan said with a serious face.
"Your subordinate obeys." Everyone saluted in unison.
They all know the consequences of failing to complete the task this time, and I'm afraid it's not as simple as dismissal. Therefore, even if you work hard, you must complete this mission.
