Winter nights always come very early, and Wugu City is shrouded in night early.
When the lanterns are turned on, this city that once suffered a disaster has finally regained some of its original prosperity within a few years.
There are only less than fifty original residents.
The Wugu City with tens of thousands of people has recovered to a population of nearly 1.5 million this winter as it continues to attract people from various prefectures and counties in Cangnan Province.
People come and go on the streets at night, and business trips are endless. .
City Lord's Mansion.
Several bleak jujube trees were planted around the backyard of the city lord's mansion.
The cold wind blew past, and suddenly there was a rustling sound from the jujube trees.
Several fragile dead branches finally couldn't survive the winter and crackled and fell.
Xu Jiantao sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, carefully wiping the long sword in his hand with a cloth.
The sword was glowing with a faint golden light, which was the luster of divine inscriptions.
This was a long sword with a low-grade earth script.
The sword was sent from Lanyan City not long ago.
Xu Jiantao knew , this is Lin Muyu's masterpiece, and only this talented adopted son of the late emperor can make such a perfect work.
It is so rare to combine a mysterious weapon blade, a fourth-level seal, and a low-level earth script into one, and this Guanyanlan Yancheng may not have a second long sword in his hand now.
After wiping the long sword, Xu Jiantao stepped to the center of the courtyard, his energy sinking into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, streaks of fighting spirit extended from his body.
The next moment, the sword light was a set of sword techniques, and at the same time, he was surrounded by a faint golden shield.
The luster of the shield is a sign of the third heavenly realm of the Vajra Body Protection Divine Art.
On the side, a guard said with a smile: "Your Majesty Governor, your Vajra Bodyguard should be able to reach the fourth level in the near future.
The Governor's martial arts understanding is one of the few in the entire empire."
Xu Jiantao couldn't help but smile: "Don't talk nonsense.
Your Majesty, the Commander, stepped into the Holy Realm at the age of twenty-six.
This kind of cultivation is truly rare.
I am far away and I have grown so many years in vain."
"Haha, how can he be compared with the Commander-in-Chief?
He is a rare talent that is rare in the empire for thousands of years.
Otherwise, the late emperor would not have accepted him as his adopted son.
You see, Commander Feng Jixing and Commander Chu Huaimian follow It goes without saying that the late Emperor has not accepted these two as his adopted sons for many years.
The late Emperor has a burning gaze. " "Yes, the late emperor had a keen eye for fire."
Xu Jiantao sighed and looked up, only to see a branch of a jujube tree falling from the sky, falling straight above his head.
However, less than five centimeters away from his head, it encountered the strong energy of the Vajra Protector, and it suddenly shattered inch by inch.
"These annoying date trees" The guard said: "Tomorrow I will order people to chop them down."
"No need."
Xu Jiantao smiled: "Keep it."
"What to do with them?"
"One day we will grow old and have children around our knees.
Then, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to plant dates every late autumn to make our children happy?"
"Haha, what the Governor-General said is absolutely true.
I will eventually learn a lesson."
"How is the situation in Lanyan City?"
"There's no big movement."
The guard said respectfully.
"Um."
Xu Jiantao sat back on the stone bench, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "When will the people who went to patrol the steel wall come back?

How are the supplies for the steel wall prepared?"
The guard said: "I should be able to come back early tomorrow morning, and the supplies are almost ready.
It is enough to feed and clothe one hundred thousand horses for half a month.
Governor, our Cangnan Province spends so much supplies every month to supply steel walls.
But you don’t get any reward at all.
Don’t you feel very unfair to the Governor?”
"Haha, if you can block the iron hooves of the demons, what else can you say about injustice?"
At this moment, a chilly breath suddenly came to him “Not good” Xu Jiantao hurriedly unsheathed his sword and shouted: "Call the sword guards!"
"What's wrong?"
The guard was shocked.
Above the head, a cold murderous intention surged up, but it was a killer holding a long sword.
His whole body was filled with frost aura, and a blue ice aura suddenly fell down and hit Xu Jiantao's head.
This sword energy was astonishingly strong.
Xu Jiantao instantly knew that his protective energy would not be able to withstand it.
Without hesitation, he reached out to his waist and pulled out a short dagger.
The dagger flickered, revealing a rich earthy yellow light.
Soaring into the sky, snowflakes flew around, instantly forming a huge ice shield in front of the dagger.
Middle-grade earth script artifact ice shield technique "Bang" The visitor's sword energy bombarded the ice shield.
Under the impact of the force, Xu Jiantao stumbled away in embarrassment.
The light of the dagger dimmed in an instant.
A middle-grade earth book could only block the opponent's easy blow.
"die to me" The assassin's handsome face was a little distorted, and the blood-red master magic energy all around his body was dancing wildly.
As the long sword struck down the sky and covered the ground, Xu Jiantao had no way to dodge this blow.
The castration was too fast, even if Xu Jiantao was No matter how fast you run, you can't avoid it.
"Buzz" The sword blade in his hand trembled rapidly, and the Low-grade Heavenly Book was activated.
Xu Jiantao felt as if all the strength in his body was about to be drained.
Suddenly, his body split apart inch by inch, and in the blink of an eye he was reunited dozens of meters away behind him.
The Low-grade Space Law Book from the ground "Brush brush brush" A stream of cold arrows shot out from the mansion, and a dozen soldiers from the Gendan Battalion appeared with steel swords hanging from their waists and crossbows in their hands.
Those arrows were already blocked by the assassins one by one in the air.
Under the moonlight, the assassin's handsome face looked very much like Lin Muyu.
Moreover, a faint starlight appeared on the sword blade in his hand, which made Xu Jiantao and others very confused.
Could this man be the murderer who assassinated Tang Lu and Tang Tian?
The only difference was that at this moment, this man did not hide himself.
The identity of the demon clan, the master's demon power, the demon fighting cyclone roared and danced, holding a long sword, and falling from the sky with a powerful aura wrapped around his body.
"Bang" The buildings of the City Lord's Mansion, which were tens of meters away, were instantly reduced to powder.
The bodies of the three Gentian Battalion soldiers were unable to move, and they had already been cut into pieces when the sword light passed by.
"Using the Heavenly Book to form an array" Xu Jiantao shouted, and everyone dispersed.
The long swords in the hands of the three guards flew into the sky, which was the middle-grade heavenly book of the law of fire.
There was a thick cyclone of frost flying around Bi Bing, and he couldn't help but sneer: "I'm not afraid of any damn heavenly book, just bring as many as you have."
"put" Xu Jiantao shouted lowly.
In an instant, three middle-grade heavenly books that recorded the divine inscription "The God of Fire Destroys the World" were activated together, and countless fire rains flew down from the sky, sweeping away the frost around Bi Bing "swishingly".
"Um" Only then did Bi Bing feel the power of these three books.
It was far beyond the power of the Book of Fire Laws in Tang Lu's hand.
The power of the flames penetrated into his body pervasively, burning him.
The spiritual power in his veins and the ice on his body were shattering and melting inch by inch.

The armor on his chest turned red in the blink of an eye and was melting rapidly.
"Oh My God"
Bi Bing finally felt fear at this time.
A piece of skin on his right arm had been scorched, and waves of heart-breaking burning pain came from all directions in the body.
"bastard" Bi Bing endured the huge pain and slashed out a blast of frost sword energy "puff" A soldier from the Gentian Battalion holding the embryonic sword of the Book of Heaven was immediately split in half and died before he could even scream.
"Fire the arrow," Xu Jiantao ordered loudly.
More and more soldiers came from the mansion, and dense white diamond arrows flew in the air.
In the blink of an eye, at least seven or eight arrows were inserted into Bi Bing's chest and arms, but the arrows did not penetrate.
The flesh was so deep that it didn't even damage the bones or internal organs.
The body of the powerful Five-Star Demon Sect had been tempered countless times, and it was too strong.
Bi Bing was filled with embarrassment.
He originally thought he could perform a miraculous feat and kill Xu Jiantao here, but he didn't expect that he would be defeated by Tianshu.
Raising his palms, streaks of ice formed a swirling storm, blocking the streaks of white diamond arrows.
When the frost storm dissipated, no one could see Bi Bing.
The five-star demon sect strongman had already escaped. .
Xu Jiantao held up the long sword with dim light.
This long sword with the law of space allowed him to teleport once and saved his life.
He walked towards the courtyard on broken bricks and tiles.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Xu Jiantao couldn't help but feel secretly in his heart.
Sighing in pain, there were so many people and so many Heavenly Book artifacts, but they still couldn't kill this demon assassin.
"Governor" The guard on the side said bitterly: "We lost seven people."
"I know."
Xu Jiantao looked up to the sky and sighed: "The demons have already targeted me.
It's all my fault.
Let everyone suffer this risk with me."
"Governor, don't say that.
We are imperial soldiers and can die for the empire at any time.
It is better to die here than to wait to die in Lanyan City."
"I know.
Send a feather letter to Lan Yancheng and tell Commander Yu everything that happened today."
"yes" Three days later, in Lanyan City, a flying letter arrived at the commander's tent at Longdan Camp.
"It seems that the demons are really targeting Xu Jiantao."
Lin Muyu patted the feather book on the table with some annoyance and said: "We will forget the plans of the two palace agencies, and the demons will come too."
Situ Sen and Wei Chou pulled Yu Shu together, took a look at each other, and looked at each other.
Situ Xue just glanced at it and knew what was going on.
He smiled slightly and said: "Sir, Xu Jiantao guards Cangnan Province and provides troops, food and combat supplies for the steel wall.
He has long been a thorn in the side of the demon clan.
If I were I will also get rid of Xu Jiantao, the commander of the demon clan, and then attack the steel wall."
Lin Muyu was startled: "If General Xue's inference is used, doesn't it mean that the demons will make a comeback soon?"
Situ Xue was stunned: "I, I just said it unintentionally."
"Sir, is this really possible?"
Wei Qiu asked.
"The demons have been dormant for seven months.
Logically speaking, they are indeed about to lose control
