Miaojiang

After receiving the new instructions, the royal attendant came directly to Huanzhu Tower with the gold.

At the same time, another person came to Shen Gu Peak with the latest instructions.

Return of the Pearl Tower

The acting owner of the building, Baili Xiaoxiang, has already left. Before the owner of the building, Shen Gu Wen Huang, returns, all affairs of Huanzhu Tower will be handled by Feng Duyue.

When business comes, the reception is still orderly even late at night or in the early morning.

The deposit they brought shone brightly with gold, a golden ball.

"To kill the man who hides the mirror, the deposit is one thousand taels of gold, and after the task is completed, the other half will be paid." The royal attendant negotiated the business with Feng Duyue.

Faced with this pile of gold, Feng Duyue did not behave so badly.

"The powerful Zang Jingren is so strong that even the Miao army couldn't encircle and kill him on Tianyun Mountain. This amount of money is not enough!" Feng Duyue did not agree directly.

"This thousand taels is just a deposit. I will give you the other half after the deal is done."

"Even two thousand taels is not enough. The target's strength and the amount of the reward are not enough to make people take the risk." Feng Duyue looked like a businessman at this time.

"As long as Huanzhu Tower can guarantee to kill the Cangjing Man, you can name your price!" said the royal guard.

"The total price is five thousand taels of gold. As long as you can afford this price, Huanzhu Tower can guarantee that it will complete the task at all costs until Huanzhu Tower is destroyed!" Fengdu Yue made a promise.

"Sure!" The royal guards said without hesitation. As long as Huanzhu Tower could be put into action, it would not be a problem even if a little more gold and silver was spent. "But we need to sign a contract, and now we only have 1,000 taels of gold. The remaining 4,000 taels will be paid off after you complete the task."

on the other hand

On the Shen Gu Peak

The Miao people came again, and this time they informed the Divine Gu Emperor Wen directly in the form of a notification.

After the notification was over, he turned around and left, leaving only his back to the Divine Gu Emperor Wen.

"Alas, the Miao King really enjoys making things difficult for others! It seems that I can't stay out of it this time!

"Qianxue, have you hidden your people?" The Divine Gu Emperor Wen murmured, waving his feather fan lightly, showing his graceful demeanor.

"The fame, honor and wealth are all lost in the maze, the Bodhi tree leaf is not subject to dust. Living in the green mountains for a long time, no one looks down on it, the birds and beasts in their nests are tame in all seasons."

Barren Mountain Position

Time passed, and before anyone had time to rest, the eastern sky was already turning pale.

Shi Yanwen and Qiao Rulai also began to feel anxious.

Because yesterday, those people from Xijianliu did not leave any specific location and time of the exchange between the two sides.

They also didn't know whether Xijianliu planned to conduct the exchange directly at the Desolate Mountain position, or wanted them to go to Xijianliu's branch to conduct the exchange.

Until there is any latest news, either wait or send someone over to inquire about the situation.

When the sun rises completely

Zhou Zheng accompanied Chaoyang back to the position in the barren mountain.

A new day arrived. Outside the barrier, those parents and relatives who had lost their children and grandchildren were more anxious than Shi Yanwen and his son.

Some of them were terrified and also stayed up all night.

As soon as daybreak came, they launched an attack on the barrier of the desolate mountain position.

Although the barrier blocked their charging figures, their shouts could still be heard inside the barrier.

They waved their fists and pounded the barrier, which also caused a reaction in the barrier, causing the people inside to suffer great psychological pressure.

They didn't know how to face the people who had lost their children and grandchildren.

In the meeting hall

Shi Yanwen looked at Zhou Zheng and said:

"Mr. Zhou Zhengyi, could you please send your clone to Xijianliu to find out how they want to exchange? We need a way to ensure that they return all the children."

“It’s easy to ask a question, and it’s not hard to determine whether they will exchange all the children.

"For the first question, I can just send a clone over. As for the second question, there is almost no need to verify it specifically. The Western Sword School will never give up so many useful materials! We just need to capture these children, so that we can be cautious and unable to use our full strength.

"After trying such an easy operation, how could they hand over all the children so easily?" Zhou Zheng said.

The reason for saying this is simply because if the Japanese forbidden technique wants to revive the ancient master, it needs a sufficient number of Dingling Pearls.

The main materials of these spirit beads come from young boys and girls.

That is to say, even if Xijianliu was willing to release all the unwanted children, in the end they would still keep those 99 boys and girls.

The children who were exchanged were destined to be short of one hundred and ninety-eight.

But Zhou Zheng couldn't say it now. After all, he was an outsider to Japan and the information he could get was limited.

He could only give them a hint from another perspective so that they could prepare themselves mentally.

After hearing Zhou Zheng's words, Shi Yanwen and his son and others just sighed and didn't say anything else.

Then he took Zhou Zheng out of the barrier.

Those who had lost their loved ones and children and grandchildren immediately rushed towards them.

"Mr. Shi, when are you going to exchange our son?"

"Yes, yes, today is already the second day. The people from Xijianliu should have been ready a long time ago. You should bring your people with you!"

They had already begun to gather outside the barrier at the entrance and make a commotion.

When they saw Shi Yanwen and others, they became even more excited.

The voices of those who shouted became hoarser and hoarser.

At this moment, several eyeballs-like magical products suddenly appeared in the sky and came towards the barren mountain position from afar. These eyeballs were all Japanese magic, phantom eyes.

These phantom eyes moved nimbly and floated above the heads of those people.

Just when the ordinary people who saw this scene had no time to be surprised, one of the eyeballs exploded on the spot and three words appeared in the air.

"Qingtian Pass? What does this mean?" Xueshan Yinyan was outspoken and asked directly when he couldn't figure it out.

"Could this be the location that Xijianliu gave us to exchange hostages?"

“That should be it!”

Before they could make any other guesses, all the phantom eyes in the air collapsed on their own.

The people crowded in the front row heard their voices and immediately shouted loudly: "At Qingtian Pass! The exchange location is at Qingtian Pass!"

As soon as this shout was made, the crowd immediately dispersed and all rode their horses towards Qingtian Pass. Their movements were faster than those of Shi Yanwen and others!
