Chapter 1: The Shadow Reappears(1/2)

In July 190, Dong Zhuo from Chang'an took new measures.

Perhaps he realized that a long-term confrontation with the Kanto princes was not a solution. In the battle of Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo had personally experienced the horror of the Kanto princes working together. Dong Zhuo understood that even if he had the Xiliang army, it was unrealistic to try to sweep the heroes of the world to establish the Dong family dynasty.

Being forced to retreat from Luoyang to Chang'an is enough to illustrate the problem!

After the battle against Dong Zhuo ended, the princes of Kanto prepared for war. Although the princes did not make a comeback at this stage, if Dong Zhuo was not worried about this, it would be purely self-deception.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo had to lower his head and think of peace talks.

The Great Honglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yinxiu, held the Jinwu Huwuban, and was the great craftsman Wu Xiu, and the Yueqi captain Wang Gui went on a mission to Guandong separately, hoping to reach a peace agreement with the Guandong princes led by Yuan Shao, "to reunify the Han Dynasty."

Unfortunately, the Kanto princes did not understand Dong Zhuo's "work" in mind. At least the leader of the Kanto princes Yuan Shao did not think so. Hu Wuban, Wu Xiu, and Wang Gui's first stop to Kanto was Hanoi. After receiving Yuan Shao's letter, the prefect Wang Kuang killed all these people! Yin Xiu, who was sent to the prefect of Nanyang, Yuan Shuchu, was also killed. Only the Great Honglu Han Rong was spared because of his great reputation.

The reaction of the Kanto princes completely cut off Dong Zhuo's desire for peace. Even if they could not see any hope of asking Dong Zhuo for another time, no prince was willing to make peace with Dong Zhuo in private at the risk of being scolded by the world and being killed by Dong Zhuo!

Coerce the emperor, kill innocent people, rape women, and are extravagant... Dong Zhuo's reputation among the people was extremely bad. However, Dong Zhuo, who was tyrannical and in charge of power, did not restrain himself. In order to satisfy his own desires and accumulate more wealth, Dong Zhuo made another decision that the world hated: destroy the Wuzhu coins and re-cast the bronze men, Zhong Qian, Fei Lian, and copper horses in the jurisdiction into small coins, which caused serious consequences, "The goods were cheap and the goods were expensive, and the grains were as high as tens of thousands of dollars."

"Thousands of miles of grass, how green is it? It will not be born in ten days." This folk song is enough to illustrate Dong Zhuo's image in the eyes of the world.

Thousand miles of grass, ten days of divination, together, the word Dong Zhuo is the word Dong Zhuo. Thousands of people want Dong Zhuo to die immediately. No matter who gets too close to such a person, the result will probably not be much better. As long as the princes are not hopelessly stupid, they will naturally not be able to accept Dong Zhuo's comfort.

Jizhou, which is known as "the world's heavy capital", also has unstable factors.

Jizhou is located in the Yellow River in the south and guards Yan in the north. In the country, it has abundant resources and a large population. The soldiers who can be requisitioned by Han Fu are extremely large, and the food is enough to last for ten years. In addition, the Black Mountain Army left their base a few days ago, Han Fu's life should be quite easy, but the reality is not the case.

The existence of Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kanto princes and the prefect of Bohai, made Han Fu restless!

As the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu does not have the prominent family background as Yuan Shao. This is why Yuan Shao can lead the heroes of Guandong as a small prefect. When Dong Zhuo was still in Luoyang, Han Fu was still welcomed Yuan Shao's arrival and gave Yuan Shao a lot of convenience within his ability. However, when Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an and the situation of the princes of Guandong fighting each other, Yuan Shao's existence undoubtedly made Han Fu very embarrassed.

The departure of the Black Mountain Army made Han Fu no longer have the place to rely on Yuan Shao. The cooperation between the two companies has lost its realistic foundation, allowing Yuan Shao to continue to stay in Jizhou, which is very unfavorable to Han Fu's authority in Jizhou.

Han Fu had learned through many twists and turns that when the battle against Dong Zhuo was still in progress, Yuan Shao had asked Cao Cao, "I occupied the Yellow River in the south, guarded Yan in the north, and had Wu Ren and Xianbei people, and then went south to compete for the world. This might be successful!" This remark fully exposed Yuan Shao's covetousness with the Bohai county and the entire Jizhou area!

What made Han Fu helpless was that it was easy to invite gods and sent them to the gods (of course, Yuan Shao's visit to Bohai was not the result of Han Fu's initiative to invite him). Yuan's disciples were everywhere. The name of Yuan's family caused Yuan Shao to gather a large number of talents. Although his troops were still weak, Han Fu was not as good as the reserve of senior talents.

Moreover, Yuan Shao was the nominal leader of the Guandong princes, and his position as the prefect of Bohai was recognized by the court. If Han Fu forced his expulsion, he would not only seem very rude, but the serious consequences that this move might cause were not something he could bear.

Han Fu, who was afraid that Yuan Shao would become a big shot, had to use a relatively gentle method to curb Yuan Shao's development. Jizhou Prefecture reduced the military supply of Yuan Shao's troops. He hoped to use this method to disperse and starve Yuan Shao's army!

This approach naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction from Yuan Shao and his soldiers. Although the two did not tear their faces apart on the surface, they had already had grudges. Neither Han Fu nor Yuan Shao wanted to lose the interests in their hands. The showdown between the two families seemed to be only a matter of time. Jizhou could only have one overlord!

Jizhou, which seems to usher in the dawn of peace, is undercurrents!

The secret battle between Yuan Shao and Han Fu attracted the attention of some lord players in Jizhou. The current situation is Han Fu has the upper hand, but players know that under normal circumstances, Han Fu is not able to fight against a strong man like Yuan Shao. Some lord players with a keen sense of smell have also begun to act quietly.

However, compared with the introverted Yuan and Han battles, players are paying more attention to another big news: the murderous demon Yan Yan, who has returned to the world after months of silence!

"In addition to the name, Yan Yan appeared in Qingzhou!"

"Latest news, the murderous demon Yan Yanyan took action twice outside Fengxiang City, killing five players!"

"The perverted NPC kills, and another innocent player has been demoted!"

Yan Yan's appearance caused an uproar. Since the battle to attack Dong Zhuo, the adventurers have been very quiet and have been very angry. Players need excitement. No matter whether they have been assassinated by Yan Yan, they always feel a lot of fun.

On the forum, adventurers discussed Yan Yan very enthusiastically. One of the posts raised serious doubts about the authenticity of the matter. The post was the five-person group of Feng Yiluo and Shanyi who robbed the king of the king of the world. After seeing the video uploaded by Tianxia Buried to the forum, they quickly raised their own questions.

"The players who were killed in the video robbed the Red Eagle King on the same field as us. Although they didn't understand why the three of them were killed and who was killed, it would be absurd to point the finger at Yan Yan! There were only five of us present at that time, and we knew nothing about their killing. If Yan Yan did it, what reason would be to kill them and let us go? With the strength shown by this demon, it would not be difficult to do this!"

The five-member team of Killing Kings just happened to have videotaped the world buried and others when they were maliciously robbed the king. The original intention at that time was that once the robbery incident was escalated, it could be used as evidence, and now it can be used to criticize its authenticity. After players carefully compared the video materials, the calls for "Yan Yan appeared outside Fengxiang City as a fraud" became high. You should know that the relevant videos appeared on the forum could not see the passage of Yan Yan's murder. The victims only turned on the video function after they were killed.

bs hype!

This post attracted the attention of many people. It was not until the victims who died at Yan Yan's hands came out and confirmed that the NPC in the video was indeed Yan Yan, including Angel, the deputy leader of the Red Pink Legion. After Lei Ye said this, his suspicion about Yan Yan's identity came to an end.

The cry of "swearing to kill Yanyan" is endless!

Why didn't Yan Yan take action against those five adventurers? This is a question in people's minds. Perhaps only Yan Yan himself knows the answer to this question.

Xiao Feier, the leader of the Red Pink Legion, was surprised, "Is this news true? Since the previous ambush, the demon has not appeared for several months. Everyone has always believed that Yan Yan has died of serious injuries. Otherwise, with his hatred for the players, how could he wait until now to take action?"

"It's true! There is a video of Yan Yan killing outside Fengxiang City on the Internet. I have seen it. It's sure it's Yan Yan!" The person who spoke was one of the top ten player beauties in the game, Angel of the Red Pink Legion, the deputy leader of the Red Pink Legion. As one of the former victims, her judgment was very convincing.

Xiao Feier frowned, "Since that's the case, the news of Yan Yan's reappearance can be confirmed, but why did he appear so long? Before he appeared in Qingzhou, he had not appeared for more than five months. Even if he was seriously injured, there was no reason to have to take care of five months for so long! Why has he not committed the crime again? Where did he hide in more than five months?"

This question is a question in the minds of almost all adventurers. Judging from his previous style of conduct, no one thinks that Yan Yan will give up any chance to kill players.

Angel - Ti obviously has no answer to this question, "I also find it strange. Judging from the online video data, Yan Yan is a little fatter than before, and he is not as haggard as he should have when he escapes for a long time. He probably might have lived in seclusion in some place for a while. He shouldn't be able to get into the player's territory, maybe he is in a remote NPC town."

Just as she was silent and thinking hard, Xiao Feier said decisively: "No matter what, since he came out to kill someone again, Yan Yan must die. This is not just to avenge the angel sister. Yan Yan must have an explanation for the sins committed by our players. This is related to the dignity of all players. We cannot tolerate an NPC killing the player arbitrarily and continue!"

Just the day after the news of Yan Yan came out, the Red Pink Legion, one of the four major gangs, once again expressed its attitude: it was recommended to reorganize the "Demon Elimination Alliance" and call on all players to join the roundup of Yan Yan to seek justice for those players who were tragically attacked!

Finally, Xiao Feier reiterated her former promise: whoever kills Yan Yan can join the Red Pink Legion, regardless of gender.

A stone caused a thousand waves, and Xiao Fei'er's call received a warm response. It has to be admitted that the Red Pink Legion, which has many beauties and has always refused to accept male members, has an incomparable attraction to many players. Many people are eager to try, hoping to become the first male member in the history of the Red Pink Legion.

"Brothers, I'm happy now. Kill that perverted crazy monster!"

"Well, I've already planned to sign up. Anyway, I've been busy upgrading for a while and I'm a little bored. If I'm lucky enough, I still have the chance to join the Red Pink Legion!"

"I'm not interested in joining the mm gang. I just think that Yan Yan's immortality will be a disaster sooner or later. Who knows if he will be targeted by him one day? The level is so difficult to upgrade now. I have worked hard to get promoted one level and then killed by him. That would be too unfair."

For a long time, adventurers have almost forgotten the existence of Yan Yan. After several months of disappearance, the former powerful informal organization Demon Elimination Alliance has long collapsed. But shortly after the news came out, Demon Elimination Alliance was launched again, and the number and strength of the participants were better!

Qingzhou, Jiaquan City.

After hearing the news that Yan Yan appeared outside Fengxiang City, the romantic and handsome Zhao Long smiled, "Okay, that murderous devil actually ran out of A Niu's territory and was ready for a good show. Now that we have arrived on our territory, we will notify our brothers to pursue Yan Yan with all our might! Well, we can just join the Demon Elimination Alliance, so it's easy to make overall arrangements."

Shortly after the world's No. 1 Gang said that it would join the Demon Elimination Alliance, the leader of the Great Han Alliance, Jifeng Lingyin quickly made the same statement. In addition, the Red Powder Legion, which first proposed to encircle Yanyan, three of the four major gangs participated in the operation, which also attracted more gangs to participate in the war.

The only one among the four major gangs who did not participate in the Demon Elimination Alliance was Aoshi. Qingzhou was too far away for Aoshi, who took Hanzhong as the base. However, the leader of the Aoshi Gang, Wudi Chao Ge, was not completely out of the matter. Although Aoshi could not send a large number of members to Qingzhou, a few members who were near Qingzhou still joined the roundup as their personal identities.

Zhao Long and the Lingyin of the Wind are not idle. No matter who "brings Yan Yan to justice" will be a great bonus to the gang's reputation among players. The strength of the Demon Elimination Alliance has grown unprecedentedly!

The Zilong Society, which is powerful and has a base in Qingzhou, has become the leader of the new "Demon Elimination Alliance", including the old rival Dahan Alliance, which was tense some time ago. Their manpower is also controlled by the romantic and elegant Zhao Long. Of course, such cooperation is limited to dealing with Yan Yan.

In dealing with Yan Yan, adventure players are united unprecedentedly!

In addition to the enthusiastic participation of adventure players, some lord players also raised flags of uprising, expressing their willingness to cooperate with the Demon Elimination Alliance to capture Yan Yan. "The dignity and honor of players cannot be violated!"

"Even if Yan Yan has three heads and six arms, as long as he dares to appear again, there is no possibility of escaping under the net of heaven and earth we set up!" The romantic and handsome Zhao Long was full of passion!

——At this time, Zhao Long had not realized that his decision would put Zilong in an embarrassing situation. If he was given a chance to make a new choice, Zhao Long would never let Zilong be so devoted.

The entire Qingzhou is like a big vortex, and Fengxiang City, which is in the center of the vortex, is no longer calm.

A large number of adventure players began to head towards Qingzhou in the carriage at the post station, and Fengxiang City became the first choice destination for players. This was not only the last place where Yan Yan appeared, but also the temporary command center of the Demon Elimination Alliance. The arrival of a large number of players brought more benefits to Fengxiang City, and also brought certain safety hazards to Fengxiang City. When A Niu had not returned, Sun Liang felt heavy pressure!

The tragedy happened outside Fengxiang City, so Fengxiang naturally could not be completely out of the matter. Although the city lord has not returned yet, Sun Liang, Pang Tong and others still have to make appropriate responses. Two days ago, they found that a player deliberately led the mainland to spread rumors and cause trouble. Who knows whether those enemies hiding in the dark will make a big fuss about Yan Yan?

Xu Rong's Shanzi Camp has increased the staff on duty!

The martial arts team also did not dare to neglect. All the junior martial arts soldiers were dispatched. Fengxiang City was full of martial arts soldiers in casual clothes. They looked solemn, vigilant and careful to monitor almost all the adventurers who were staying in Fengxiang City!

After doing all this, Pang Tong and Sun Liangcai felt a little relieved and finally had a little leisure to comment on Yan Yan's affairs.

"Mr. Pang, you must have heard of Yan Yan's deeds."

"How can I not know such a famous person? Don't forget that in addition to staying in the academy, I also have the intelligence center in charge of Fengxiang." Pang Tong smiled indifferently.

Sun Liang hesitated for a moment, and asked in a vain: "Yan Yan is a vicious murderer in the minds of those strangers. I wonder what sir thinks of this person?"

Pang Tong's expression couldn't help but become solemn, and the joke on his face was swept away. After a while, he said: "Although I don't agree with Yan Yan's approach, I believe that there must be a reason for him to hate those strangers so much. It's hard for me to be hostile to him just because he has never attacked the indigenous people. To be honest, many strangers have contempt for aboriginal people like us, and often inadvertently express disdain in their words and deeds. How many strangers are there who treat the people kindly like the lord? Perhaps Yan Yan's approach can make those strangers learn what the minimum respect is!"

Sun Liang nodded silently, in fact, his views were surprisingly consistent with Pang Tong.

"Then...we also want to join the pursuit of Yan Yan?" Deputy City Lord Sun finally told the question he wanted to ask the most, staring at Pang Tong with anticipation.

"Do you want to do that?" Pang Tong smiled bitterly and continued: "Let's just wait and see what's going on and ensure the normal operation of the territory first. I hope Yan Yan is lucky enough. There are too many aliens who want to kill him, and even Zilong Association is involved."

No matter how sympathy Pang Tong and Sun Liang privately sympathized with Yan Yan, under the current circumstances, they would never show it, which would cause Feng Xiang a lot of unnecessary trouble. There is really no need to put Feng Xiang in the opposite direction of countless players for an "outsider". The two realized that Feng Xiang villagers might also have this mentality. In order to avoid some criticism, Sun Liang even issued an order to the mayors of each affiliated territorial in the name of the deputy city lord. If Yan Yan is found in each affiliated territorial, they must not hide it.

Of course, when the officials who sent the order also tactfully expressed their will to "not participate in the pursuit" and "not inform players". In the eyes of Pang Tong and Sun Liang, "not hiding" is Feng Xiang's bottom line, and beyond this bottom line is not in line with Feng Xiang's interests. No matter how much, the romantic and beautiful Zhao Long is the temporary leader of the Demon Elimination Alliance, and he can't pull the hindrance of an allies for a person who has nothing to do with Feng Xiang.

Wuwei Town, the mayor Qian Jin couldn't help but sigh after receiving the order. The attitude of the administrative center was understandable, but as an NPC, his sympathy for Yan Yan was also obvious. Sympathy belonged to sympathy, Qian Jin quickly summoned the villagers of Wuwei Town to convey the meaning of the administrative center. Although the villagers were quite unbearable, they still had to accept such facts.

"Deputy Lord Sun told us not to hide Yan Yan, so he might not be able to survive..." An excited young farmer was quite dissatisfied with this.

"Don't be fooled! Deputy City Lord Sun did this to avoid dragging our Fengxiang City into the quagmire. Do you think he was not sad when he made this decision?" As Qian Jin shouted, the young farmer lowered his head in shame, and the venue was silent.

"Yan Yan is a good person. I hope he can overcome the difficulties this time!" A middle-aged man expressed everyone's voice.

——Similar situations occur in various affiliated territories of Fengxiang.

Xun Chou's face in the crowd was indifferent, but his wet eyes had already shown that he was unable to calm down at this time. The blessings of these villagers to Yan Yan made this man who had almost never shed tears almost burst into tears.

Because, he is Yan Yan, the demon Yan Yan who killed the five expelled players!

At this time, no one in Fengxiang knew that the good man Xunchou and the evil man (in the minds of the players) Yan Yan were the same person. Even when Xunchou's true identity was exposed, the villagers in Wuwei Town could not believe this fact. How kind Xunchou is in people's minds!

Why Yan Yan stayed in Fengxiang under the pseudonym of Xunchou needs to be mentioned several months ago.

More than five months ago, Yan Yan encountered an unprecedented crisis. After taking many moves and successfully escaped, he finally fell into a trap carefully woven by players from the Demon Elimination Alliance. After successfully attacking three players who were used as "bait", he was besieged by nearly a thousand players!

Yan Yan hates players, but he is definitely not a reckless man who only knows how to fight. This can be seen from his like to solve problems by assassination. At the critical moment, Yan Yan chose to escape very simply, fighting all the way out and breaking through the siege, but he was also seriously injured in this battle. After forcing his fierce attack, he ran away with his scarred body for a whole night, and finally fainted on the Hongnong Ancient Road due to lack of energy.

Then, he met A Niu and his group who returned from Liangzhou. When he was rescued and saw a city lord, he was very fierce because he was Yan Yan, who hated the players with teeth!

In addition to having a deep prejudice against players, Yan Yan has always been kind to NPCs, which are also natives, and he has never attacked his own kind.

When Yan Yan attempted to attack A Niu and was subdued again, the demon wisely chose to hide his true identity, fabricated a tragic story, and accused a pseudonym. In fact, Yan Yan did not give up his determination to retaliate against the players, "Xunchou" means "seeking revenge"!

——Yan Yan's true identity has not been discovered by Fengxiang City, which is actually quite a coincidence. When A Niu "picked" him back to Fengxiang on the Hongnong Ancient Road, Yan Yan was not a member of Fengxiang City, and A Niu naturally could not see his true information; when Yan Yan became a member of Fengxiang, the officials only thought that he was really the so-called Xunchou. Although both the city lord and the deputy city lord could find out his true identity, neither A Niu nor Sun Liang would deliberately do such boring things. Yan Yan successfully transformed into Xunchou.
To be continued...
