Section 136

In the summer of this year, the days of the Iron Family began to be difficult.

Due to the continuous defeat news from the coalition forces on the outside battlefield, coupled with the far-reaching impact caused by the fire in Yanguan City and the changes in Lanwen City, Iron Blood City has begun to fluctuate people's hearts. After that, as Yanguan City was captured by the barbarian army, the second army was defeated and returned to the Iron-blooded City, and the iron family's hard operation in the wilderness for three years finally became a failure. What's worse, the 100,000 barbarians who controlled Yanguan City can attack, retreat and defend, which has posed a threat to the local scope of the Tiejia.

After the news was sent back to the Iron-blood City, the flow of people in the Iron-blooded City decreased every day, and even the aborigines began to flee in the direction of China. Seeing that the Iron Family, which had been operating for tens of millions of years, the Iron War decisively ordered to block the Iron-blood City, and that everyone was only allowed to enter and not go out.

The first division of Iron Eagle's new army was pulled to the south gate leading to Shenzhou to prevent fugitives from violently hitting the gate.

In such a panicked atmosphere, the undercurrent of the high-level iron also surged.

With the defeat of the Second Army of the Iron Family, the three main legions that were originally loyal to the Iron War have died in name only. The combat effectiveness of the New First Army and the New Fifth Army is still debatable. Everyone knows that the power supporting the throne of the city lord has weakened to an all-time low, and the minds of several big families have been very close in the past few days. Although Tie Zhan knew that the topic of their meeting was nothing more than discussing when to drive himself off the position of the city owner, all the family law rules did not record that large families could not contact each other. Although Tie Zhan was unhappy, he also regarded him as unaware of their behavior.

Today is different from the past.

Tieying told Tie Zhan that the blockade of the Iron-blood City was just a stopgap measure, which was like blocking the flood. In the long run, the flood would burst out one day. At that time, even if the whole army of the Iron Family was pulled over, it could not stop the angry crowd. Iron Eagle suggested that Iron War was best to immediately send envoys to negotiate with barbarian high-level officials.

Iron War looked at the Iron Eagle and said in a low voice: "Eagle, although I have decided to give up the position of city lord, as soon as the news of our conversation with the barbarians spreads, there is no need for the old guys in the family to do it, and the angry residents of the Iron-blooded City will bury us first."

The iron eagle nodded and agreed, "Because of this, we can never write anything about our talks with the barbarians, nor can we sign any documents about peace talks with the barbarians. Father, if you allow me, I would like to go to the wilderness in person and talk to the newly appointed barbarian king about the treaty of peaceful coexistence.

Iron War immediately shook his head and said, "The barbarians have already formed an endless relationship with us. Moreover, at this time, the barbarians are at the beginning of the victory of the war, and they will never discuss the armistice with us. Eagle, let the people in the clan decide this matter together at the time of the tomorrow's meeting.

Iron Eagle pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Father, do you still want to continue to be the lord of this city?"

Tie Zhan was stunned and then said, "If it weren't for the eagle, you would have decided to stay with the city owner for your father and continue to be the city owner. As early as a few days ago, I would have left the city to find your mother."

"Since my father has no attachment to the position of the Lord of the Iron Family, instead of sitting and waiting for others to make trouble, it is better for us to withdraw voluntarily. Tomorrow's clan meeting, my father asked the elders to resign as the city owner. Iron Eagle suddenly said so.

Tie Zhan asked, "Ear, do you want me to throw the responsibility to others?"

Iron Eagle said, "Father, this is not the time to consider responsibility. Several patriarchs have been coming and going frequently recently, and you don't have to guess what they have discussed.

"Eagle, the new city lord will take office and kill people. The five legions lost three in my hands, just in fact. If I resign tomorrow, you and my father and son will have to fall to the ground before sunset to relieve the resentment of millions of city residents. Tie Zhan said, "Let me arrange it and then resign."

"Father, don't worry about this. Although the new army is a newly formed army, the guard is adapted from the city owner's guard left by the second uncle. It is currently the most powerful force of the Iron Family except for the Twelve Stars. And these guards are completely loyal to me, so if those elders want to attack us, they have to consider the consequences first. Tieying then added, "Moreover, Jiumei's new five armies are still outside the city, and she can raise troops to support us at any time, so we don't need to worry about the old people turning against each other."

Iron War nodded. Now that the Iron Eagle has arranged everything properly, there is no need to worry about looking forward and backward.

In fact, the father and son of the Tie family do not know at this moment that the largest leader of the barbarians, the current barbarian king Qiu Jiu, have mixed into the Iron-blooded City at this moment - it is actually inappropriate to say that it is not appropriate to fool around. Based on the order of the Iron War, which only allowed to enter and exit, coupled with the collapse of the Second Army, Qiu Jiu was wrapped in chaos and entered the Iron-blooded City without surprise.

This is his second visit to this wild city. Compared with his first time alone and uneasy about fate and future, he looks much more confident at this time. Moreover, the three people with him are the dragon and fire dance, the two envoys of heaven and earth, fire ghost, Kagura and wind charm, and they are all top masters. Coupled with Shangguan Yanyan's unique skills, she dressed the seven people up like ordinary practitioners and had no conspicuousness. Therefore, when he came to the Iron-blooded City this time, Qiu Jiu was not worried that he would be recognized, let alone worried about what would happen.

This time, Qiu Jiu came to Iron-blood City. On the one hand, he wanted to find an opportunity to meet with the senior officials of the Iron Family, and on the other hand, Tan Xiaoqing, the alchemist he met here, did not know whether he was waiting in Iron-blooded City as promised. Now that I have made great progress in my cultivation, it is time to prepare to go to Jilong Island.

After seven people entered the city, Qiu Jiu took everyone straight to Tiejia Square. If it is placed in peacetime, the seven people must be conspicuous. But at this time, the hearts of the people of the Iron-blooded City floated, and tens of thousands of practitioners were trapped in the city and could not leave. Among them, there were many of the same sects, so the peers of the nine or seven people, in the eyes of others, were just the brothers of the same school.

I couldn't do it for a long time, but I heard Feng Mei's sudden report: "Master, someone is following us."

Qiu Jiu nodded. Recently, in order to eliminate the influence of God's heart, he has not taken the initiative to use Zhenyuan cultivation. At this moment, even the charm with the lowest cultivation can detect the wrong situation of the surrounding environment better than Qiu Jiu. But then again, if even the charm of the wind can be detected, then this person's level really does not pose a danger to Qiu Jiu. Qiu Jiu did not pay attention to the follower and said lightly, "Don't pay attention to them. We can just take care of ourselves."

"Yes, master." The wind charm is responsible for protecting the Lord. Although he has responded, he is still the one who firmly locks the divine consciousness and follows him up.

Qiu Jiu didn't want to do much trouble, but he didn't think about it, but the person who followed him shouted, "The brothers in front of him stay!"

When he shouted, he pulled more than half of his eyes on the street to Qiu Jiu. In this case, if we move forward, it will inevitably arouse the surprise of the crowd, which is inconvenient. Although Qiu Jiu is not afraid of trouble, it is better not to take the initiative to cause trouble when he can not cause trouble.

So he stopped and turned around. Seeing a man running from afar, Qiu Jiu was stunned and couldn't help laughing. It's really a place to break the iron shoes. It doesn't take much effort to come. The person who catches up is actually Tan Xiaoqing that Qiu Jiu is looking for.

Compared with those years, Tan Xiaoqing's appearance has changed slightly. He actually raised a small handful of goat beard on his clean and unnecessary chin, coupled with the alchemist's fairy bone robe, he really has a bit of fairy style.

Tan Xiaoqing was stopped by Feng Mei when he was 90 steps away from Qiu, but he didn't care. He turned his head up and down at Qiu Jiu and looked carefully for a long time. Then he saluted the people on Qiu Jiu's side with a hesitant face and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

Qiu Jiu smiled faintly and said, "I don't know the name of the person Brother Tan is looking for?"

"Oh, it's a young man named Qiu Jiu..." Tan Xiaoqing suddenly said strangely, "Do you know me?"

Qiu smiled gently and said, "Brother Tan, has your alchemy progressed over the years? My little brother's anti-sky elixir depends on your alchemy!"

Tan Xiaoqing suddenly opened her eyes and pointed to Qiu Jiu and said, "You, you are..."

Qiu Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "There are many people here, so it is not appropriate to talk about it in detail. Let's find a clean place.

Tan Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Then go to my Dan room. It's very secluded, and ordinary people won't come to me."

Qiu Jiu nodded, took a few steps forward, walked side by side with Tan Xiaoqing, and casually asked about the recent situation of Iron-blooded City. Tan Xiaoqing couldn't help shaking his head, looked around, and whispered, "The five legions have lost three and a half, and the current situation of the Tie family is not optimistic. Moreover, I heard that Chen Bing, a barbarian at the border, had 100,000 and would come here at any time. No, everyone wanted to run to China, but the Tie family issued a strict order that the Iron-blooded City could only enter or leave, and there were people who broke into the gate without permission. Alas, I didn't expect the Tie family in the top 14 of Shenzhou to give such an order.

Qiu Jiu asked, "What about you? Do you also want to go to the city?"

"Me?" Tan Xiaoqing shook his head and said, "The Tie family now hires me to refine some strong elixirs for their soldiers. There are all kinds of alchemy materials, which can help me improve alchemy. I won't leave. Moreover," Tan Xiaoqing looked at Qiu Jiu and smiled, "You still owe me a promise to help you refine the anti-sky elixir..."

"Bold, how dare you talk to your master like this!" The two envoys shouted coldly, which made Tan Xiaoqing shrink his head and smiled at Qiu Jiu, "Your two subordinates are very fierce."
