Chapter 264: Another Mission
In the early morning of the second day, the rising sun slowly rose from the east, spreading the warm sun over Qixia Ridge.
However, the Qixia Ridge at this time was enveloped by a depressing and sad atmosphere, and almost everyone was immersed in this atmosphere.
In the battle a few days ago, the Qi cultivators of various families suffered heavy casualties and lost a lot of manpower, causing the living clansmen to fall into mourning.
However, what puzzled them the most was that they chose to retreat even though they had paid so much price. Isn't this sacrificing the lives of so many people in vain!
...
In a tent in the Shen family's camp, Shen Ruiling, who had been meditating and practising all night, had come to the end of his practice.
With a mouthful of turbid breath, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and he turned his attention to the door, because he knew someone was coming!
It didn't take long for Shen Jing'an to walk into Shen Ruiling's tent, and bowed his hands in front of Shen Ruiling:
"Rui Ling, the people from Qingyunmen asked you to go to the council hall!"
After hearing this, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but stunned for a moment, and murmured:
"Could it be that Zuo Canglang has left?"
Soon, he came back to his senses and said to Shen Jingan:
"I'll rush over here, Fourth Uncle, you are here to protect the clan!"
"Don't worry, I'm here!" Shen Jingan agreed.
"it is good!"
After speaking, Shen Ruiling's figure sprang out of the tent and fled in the direction of the council hall.
After a while, Shen Ruiling came to the front of the conference hall. After stopping at the door for a while, he pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
After entering, Shen Ruiling found that Chen Wensong and Du Wenfu were already sitting there, and there was another person sitting on the other side of them. It was the older Qingyunmen disciple!
Shen Ruiling's eyes turned to Du Wenfu, but found that there seemed to be a trace of sadness on the old man's face.
After the two looked at each other, Shen Ruiling saw a helpless look in Du Wenfu's eyes again, which made him vigilant.
Thinking of the current scene, Shen Ruiling seems to have guessed that something bad is about to happen!
At this time, the Qingyunmen disciple stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Shen Ruiling and said:
"Friend Shen is here too, please take a seat first!"
"Thank you buddy!"
After returning the salute, Shen Ruiling sat down and began to wait quietly.
After Shen Ruiling was seated, the Qingyunmen disciple slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Elder Zuo's injury is all right, but it's not convenient to see you, so let me receive you, and hope you fellow Daoists will cool down!"
Chen Wensong stood up and said politely:
"Fang Daoyou is polite,
I just don’t know when Elder Zuo will be able to leave the customs?”
Facing Chen Wensong's question, the Qingyunmen disciple replied indifferently:
"This..., I won't know it next time!"
For this answer, Chen Wensong obviously did not struggle too much.
I saw him turn around and asked with some worry:
"This elder Zuo is not out, so how good is this suppression operation!"
Seeing Chen Wensong like this, Shen Ruiling couldn't help sneering in his heart, they are all old foxes!
On the other side, the Qingyunmen cultivator obviously heard the meaning of Chen Wensong's words, and said with a smile:
"Patriarch Chen doesn't have to worry, Elder Zuo has already sent the news back to the sect, and reinforcements are coming soon!"
Hearing this, Shen Ruiling and the others couldn't help looking at each other, and then made their own calculations in their hearts.
But this is also good news, at least they don't have to work as hard as before!
After simply thinking about it in their minds, the three of Shen Ruiling immediately echoed:
"So good!"
After looking at the three of Shen Ruiling, the Qingyunmen disciple immediately took out three jade slips from the storage bag and put them on the table.
"Just before that, there is one more thing to trouble you fellow Taoists!"
Looking at the three jade slips on the table, Shen Ruiling knew in his heart that what he had foreseen was coming.
At this time, Du Wenfu was the first to speak, and asked with a solemn expression:
"I don't know what's the matter?"
Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of the three of Du Wenfu, the Qingyunmen disciple smiled and said:
"These three jade slips are the orders given by the elder Zuo, you can act according to the orders!"
After speaking, he handed the jade slip on the table to Shen Ruiling and the three of them.
Here, Shen Ruiling glanced at Du Wenfu and Chen Wensong.
After seeing that Du Wenfu had reached out his hand, he also took back the jade slip in front of him. Then, put the divine sense into it, and start to probe the content inside.
After a few breaths, Shen Ruiling's face gradually became serious, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he began to think in his heart.
At this time, Du Wenfu and Chen Wensong also had expressions similar to Shen Ruiling's on their faces. After they looked at each other, they turned to the Qingyunmen disciple.
After seeing the expressions of the three of them, an intriguing smile appeared on the face of the Qingyunmen disciple, and he said quickly:
"Elder Zuo said that if the bandit suppression this time is successful, then you will be the heroes of this battle. Elder Zuo will report to the sect in person and ask for the credit for you fellow Taoists!"
Hearing this sentence, Shen Ruiling couldn't help sneering in his heart and laughed.
It's too early to draw a pie for them now!
However, the Qingyunmen disciple on the other side obviously didn't care what they were thinking. After saying this, he had already done what he was supposed to do, and then he said to the three of Shen Ruiling:
"Okay, I've finished explaining everything that needs to be explained, everyone, take it easy!"
After speaking, the Qingyunmen disciple left Shen Ruiling and the three of them behind and left the council hall alone.
At this time, Shen Ruiling and the other three were left in the council room, and all three of them sat there silently, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.
After a while, Chen Wensong glanced at Shen Ruiling with a half-smile, then got up and left.
After Chen Wensong left, Du Wenfu also stood up, looked at Shen Ruiling and sighed:
"Don't think about it, just follow orders!"
After speaking, Du Wenfu did not wait for Shen Ruiling to answer, and walked towards the door alone, obviously not wanting to say anything more.
Looking at Du Wenfu's leaving back, Shen Ruiling had no choice but to stand up and walk towards his camp.
Back in the big tent, Shen Ruiling opened the ban, and thought about it alone.
In his jade slip just now, Zuo Canglang asked him to stay on the only road from Baiguling to Shanghai, and monitor the movements of the bandits.
After the arrival of reinforcements, we must cooperate with the frontal army to encircle and suppress these bandits on Baigu Mountain in one fell swoop!
This command seems simple, but it is dangerous everywhere.
It is already very dangerous to let the three of them sneak into Baiguling alone to keep an eye on the bandits, and they may face the siege of several bandits in the Foundation Establishment period at any time.
This is nothing, the key is to let them guard the road from Baiguling to Shanghai Shangfang, and not let the six evil spirits of Baiguling escape!
Everyone knew that once Baiguling was captured, the last escape route for the bandits would be to escape into Shanghai, relying on the power of the Loose Cultivator Alliance to escape the pursuit of Qingyunmen.
And at this time, intercepting them on the only way between Baiguling and Shanghai Shangfang would cut them off, and they would definitely let those bandits fight to the death for their lives!
Thinking of this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Shen Ruiling's eyes, and he remembered what the fourth elder explained to him.
For those most dangerous tasks, Qingyunmen will let them, these vassal families, get monks to do them, and treat them as cannon fodder!
