Tang Yan trekked through the hills covered with yellow sand for two whole days against the strong wind, and at noon on the third day, he finally saw the "color" beyond the "yellow sand", which was a slightly quiet mountain village community, where the wind was relatively gentle, trees were planted among the mountains, full of greenery, and scattered villages were dotted around.

It's like the 'Dragon Palace' in the 'Yellow Sand Sea'.

None of these villages are too big, but the environment is very quiet, and the number of people coming and going is a bit disproportionate. There are rough and fierce mercenaries, there are hawkers, there are children who are playing, and there are some young masters and young ladies who are richly dressed and riding strange beasts.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a normal human, ah...... Canglan Ancient Land...... I, Tang Yan, are back again......" Tang Yan took a deep breath and smiled weirdly. Patting the dust on his body, he came to the front of the village gate, and at a glance, he saw a half-human-high wood carving portrait by the walled gate.

"Wanted: Tang Yan! Kill six martial venerables, including the little prince of Jingwangfu and the heirs of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, and offer a reward of millions of gold coins, two local-level martial arts, no time limit, no limit to life and death!"

It can be seen that the wood carving portrait has been stored for a long time, and the picture has been a little blurry, and no one has paid much attention to the passing travelers and mercenaries. Just imagine, even the little prince of Jingwangfu dares to kill, and he is a powerful madman when he thinks about it with his fingers.

What's more, Tang Yan's original journey in the middle of the Black Stone Spine has been spread by adding oil and vinegar, and without the strength of a second-order martial artist, or a weighty army, who would dare to take this list?

"The painting style is really rough, is my brother so ugly?" Tang Yan touched his cheeks and pouted.

The black water locust said: "It seems that I guessed correctly, the Jingwang Mansion and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land have concluded that you will come back alive." Be as cautious as possible and find out what is going on first. ”

"Little brother, are you interested in this Tang Yan?" In the tea stall outside the camp, a rough voice came.

Tang Yan looked back, it was a group of mercenaries dressed in tatters, resting around a tea table, the strongest was the second-order Martial King Realm, and the other eight were all peak martial arts sects, which was a very strong mercenary team, and it was the captain of the Martial King in the team who shouted at him.

There are more than a dozen such simple tea stalls and wine stalls outside the village, scattered branches, and there are many mercenary teams gathered in groups of three or five, the number of more than 100 people, all wild and rude, bold and brave, of course, there is no lack of gloomy and sinister people.

These guys lick blood all year round, and their life experiences are cruel and rich, and they are not easy to mess with, but they ...... The easier it is to understand the situation in a mixed place.

"Shopkeeper, come to my new friends with your best wine, come to Santan!" Tang Yan walked over with a smile and threw a silver coin to the shopkeeper.

"Wait a minute, right away!!" The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised, and rushed to the hidden place behind the stall, rummaging through his inventory.

"Little brother is bold, I like it! Call me Meng Wei!" Captain Wuwang laughed, stretched out his hand and shook Tang Yan heavily. Secretly made a gesture quietly, and the rest of the team members understood, continued to drink tea lazily, and privately protected their packages without a trace, which were all beast armor and animal bones they hunted, ready to be sold for money.

They were very defensive and worried that Tang Yan had other intentions.

"Yan Yan. Tang Yan casually reported his name and sat down at the wooden table: "Did the guy named Tang Yan catch it?"

"Arrest? Hmph, how to catch it! It's been missing for two years, and it is said that he was pulled into the Ten Thousand Ancient Beast Mountain at the spine of the Black Stone, and if he entered it, he can still survive? I don't know what kind of nerves the Jingwang Mansion and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land have, they didn't make much noise at first, and suddenly issued a wanted notice to the entire Yan Kingdom a year ago. ”

Meng Wei took the wine jar handed by the store, inhaled hard, the spicy smell made his face red, his eyes lit up, and he raised his head and poured a few sips: "Good wine!"

"That Tang Yan is really a ruthless person, he actually killed the little prince in front of the whole city. The rest of the mercenaries hurriedly took over the other two jars and scrambled to pour and drink.

"Now that they've issued a wanted warrant, there should be some clues. Do you have any orders?"

"Yes!!Why not!" Meng Wei poured two sips of wine, and came up with enthusiasm, not so vigilant, leaned in front of Tang Yan, and lowered his voice: "Brother, tell you a secret news, I heard from the people in King Jing's Mansion that a few of the people who were dragged into the Ten Thousand Ancient Beast Mountain came back alive, including the young master of the Ren family and the little saint of Yaochi. ”

"Oh?

"This is all top-secret news that those killers got from King Jing's mansion, and it has spread in recent months. Jingwangfu guessed that Tang Yan might also be alive, so he didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to start counting, at first there were few people who took orders, because they didn't want to believe it, but now, what ...... Gee...... You go to the killing workshop to see it, it's lively. ”

Another slightly younger mercenary whispered: "It is said that all the people who take orders are martial arts level bigwigs! Even some demon hunters in the Central Plains have taken orders. Some time ago, someone spread the news that the number of killers and demon hunters who took orders has reached thirteen, and there are four large mercenary unions. ”

Meng Wei said again: "Even the army has been ordered, and all the five major legions have sent elite troops to search for them. The Zhenguo General's Mansion, the Yuanwei General's Mansion, and the Huiwang Mansion all sent people to search it. We don't know the exact situation, but look at the momentum...... Eighty percent is that Tang Yan's madman is really back. ”

There was a fat mercenary who laughed strangely: "After the Battle of the Black Stone Gobi, the Yan Kingdom was in chaos for a long time, and the Jingwang Mansion and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land almost fought with the royal family and the General's Mansion, not that the six princesses secretly assisted Tang Yan." Later, the United Jinyanlou and other factions jointly put pressure on the royal family, demanding that the five princes, the six princesses and Yan Luo be severely punished. ”

"The result?" Tang Yan clinked glasses with them with a faint smile.

"Of course, the royal family will not compromise, and there is a lot of trouble, and even the army is frequently transferred. But later, without knowing what happened, the emperor suddenly demoted the five princes, and the six princesses were also driven out of the imperial city.

Swallow Rose...... The witch lived a very chic life, the general of Zhenguo was old, he protected the calf, and carried a spear directly into the Jingwang Mansion, good guy, pointed at the nose of the Jingwang and scolded an ancestor for eight generations. ”

As he spoke, the fat mercenary laughed, and the rest of the mercenaries also laughed happily, obviously thinking of the chaotic scene at that time, it was very lively.

"The fifth prince and the sixth princess have all been demoted, where have they been demoted?" Tang Yan asked pretending to be unintentional.

"Sand City. ”

"Where?"

"Where??" Meng Wei and the others smiled and looked at him strangely: "You don't know?"

"I have just come from the Central Plains, and I have entered the Yan Kingdom for the first time. ”

Meng Wei's suspicious gaze stopped on Tang Yan's face, and suddenly felt a little familiar, but the vicious black spots on it made him dare not look at it more, so he didn't care much anymore: "Crazy Sand City is in the middle of the wind-eroded hills, it is the largest ancient city within a radius of thousands of miles, and it is said that it will become the fief of the five princes in the future."

The five princes were crowned kings in advance, which is tantamount to cutting off his possibility of becoming emperors.

The sixth princess was expelled from the imperial city, that is, she would marry directly when she was twenty years old. The two of them have become brothers and sisters in distress, and the fifth prince is looking for her in-laws. ”

"Where is this place in the wind-eroded hills?" Tang Yan took out a silver coin and pushed it in front of Meng Wei: "I have just arrived, and I don't know a little about the place, so I ask Brother Meng for more advice." ”

Meng Wei was still a little impatient just now, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face: "You are asking the right person, I, Meng Wei, am a well-known know-it-all." This is the town of Fengdu, which is full of scattered villages, located in the southern part of the wind-eroded hills.

The Wind Erosion Hills are located in the southern region of the Yan Kingdom, with a very large area, with a total of ten ancient cities, scattered in different areas, with the Wild Sand City where the five princes live as the most. In addition to Wild Sand City, the most famous and powerful ancient cities are Golden Flame City and Cold Moon City. The masters inside are the Golden Flame Building and the Cold Moon Academy in the top sect of the empire.

If the five princes want to gain a foothold in the wind erosion hills, they must first have a good relationship with these two factions. It's okay to say that Hanyue Academy has always been neutral, you don't mess with him, he doesn't mess with you, Jinyanlou...... It's closer to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Princess had the intention of rectifying the Golden Flame Tower, but they had just arrived, and their foundation was unstable, not to mention that in addition to the Golden Flame Tower and the Cold Moon Academy, the rest of the ancient cities had always had overlords.

The wind-eroded hills are a famous chaotic place in the Yan Kingdom, and no one has been willing to take over it. It seems that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the five princes, and did not give anything, but directly gave a title and threw it here. ”

Tang Yan's eyes rolled, but he didn't agree with Meng Wei's introduction, these mercenaries were basically hearsay, so they listened to the excitement. After a little calculation in his heart, he picked up a few key points, and gradually sketched out an intention, the five princes and the six princesses are known as wise, and it is very likely that the emperor took a clever plan. Sending them to the wind-eroded hills can not only ease the anger of the Jingwang Mansion and others, but also use their plans to rectify the wind-eroded hills.

"This town of demeanor is lively all year round?"

"It's basically like that. It is the only foothold within a radius of more than ten kilometers. ”

"What are you gathered here for?"

"There are four kinds of special monster beasts in the southern part of the wind-eroded hills, desert coyotes, sand lake monkeys, flowing golden rats, and Mangshan porcupines, which are very numerous, and the teeth and claws of coyotes, the eyes of lake monkeys, the claws of golden rats, and the skins of porcupines are very popular outside the hills. ”

As he spoke, there was a hissing in the yellow sand in the distance, and the dense and dull sound of horses' hooves threatened to overwhelm the howling wind.

"Get out of the way!!"

"Cold Moon Academy arrives, get out of the way for me!!"

The first two loud roars woke up the group of mercenaries who looked at it, and the noisy village was a little quiet, and the mercenaries were all sitting in front of the stalls, except for looking at them, they didn't have many surprised expressions, as if they had long been accustomed to it.

"Hmph! "What a fart!" Meng Wei spat and disdainfully faced.

"Is Cold Moon Academy unpopular?" Tang Yan asked casually.

"Winning the hearts of the people? What does it mean to win the hearts of the people? The big factions in the compound are all high up, treating the poor as ants, and they don't care if we live or die. Cold Moon Academy and Golden Flame Tower go hunting in the south at least four or five times a year, rounding up those beasts under the guise of training, causing a mess. When they come, we have to reduce our harvest by at least 50%. It's annoying when I think about it. ”

The dull sound of horses' hooves approached quickly, and more than 30 gale horses rushed from the Huangsha area, and did not stop until they were close to the village.

The more than twenty horsemen around were all middle-aged guards, all carrying some prey. The more than ten men and women in it are all young and chic, and they should be the students of the academy.

"Haha...... Capture the five wolf kings alive, and now they can finally compare to Jia Jin's girls. Let's go, enter the village to stimulate Sister Jia. The sturdy young man at the head sneered haughtily, his head slightly raised, and he didn't even look at the mercenaries around him.

"Jia Jin?" Tang Yan sensitively caught this familiar word: "Brother Meng, the Jia Jin that the young man just mentioned is the heir of the Cold Moon Academy?"

"He is the best contemporary descendant of Cold Moon Academy, the peak realm of the Martial King. Because the top ten geniuses of Yan Kingdom were slaughtered by Tang Yan, he was barely able to get in, and he just arrived in Fengdu Village half a month ago. There is also the best descendant of the Golden Flame Tower, named Miffy. At the beginning of the Blackstone Spine, Miffy was unable to participate because of the retreat, otherwise it would have ...... I'm afraid I will die in the hands of Tang Yan. She is currently also at the peak of the Martial King realm, one step away from Martial Venerable, and her strength is on par with Jia Jin. ”
