Chapter 355 – Jerking a Skewer

“Blood Slaughter 3,000 Miles ………”

Zalmukha’s expression remained stagnant, and he replied in a tone with little emotion, “What blood slaughters 3,000 miles …….”

Was it the way I asked the question that was wrong? Xu Qi’an frowned and said in a deep voice, “Slaughtering three thousand miles of the Da Feng border, was it you barbarians who did it.”

Zalmukha stared blankly ahead and muttered, “I don’t know.”

……… Xu Qi An s breathing was rough for a moment, he took a deep breath and asked Tian Lang the same question again, and came up with the same answer, this Golden Wood Department chief did not know about this matter.

He didn’t give up and then asked the Soup Mountain Monarch, “Slaughtering three thousand miles of the Dafeng border, was that done by your northern demon race.”

With a blank expression, Yushan-kun replied, “I don’t know.”

No?

I don’t know!

Xu Qi’an’s breathing once again became ragged, his pupils slightly lax, and after sitting for a few seconds, he said in a deep voice, “Chu Xianglong, do you know about the Blood Slaughter 3,000 miles?”

Chu Xianglong looked mute, and when he heard this, he subconsciously replied, “Wei Yuan attempted to frame the King of Huai, using a corpse and soul to plant evidence, and then dispatched Silver Gong Xu Qi’an to the border in an attempt to fabricate a crime and frame the King of Huai.”

I’m not, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense …….. Xu Qi’an did the denial trifecta in his mind.

……. Is this what Chu Xianglong thinks? He thinks that the so-called blood slaughter of 3,000 miles is a plot by Duke Wei and the court officials, targeting the King of Zhenbei.

So the plan was to use the mission to escort the princess.

In that case, was that what Emperor Yuan Jing had in mind, to push the boat along? In that case, it seems that Emperor Yuan Jing and King Zhenbei are wearing the same pants.

After all, they are brothers from the same mother.

The northern barbarians and demons did not know about the blood slaughter of 3,000 miles, while Chu Xianglong, the vice general of the King of Zhenbei, thought that it was a setup by Duke Wei and all the dynastic eunuchs, which means that he did not know about the blood slaughter of 3,000 miles either.

So, who’s the werewolf anyway?

Hiss ……. The case suddenly floundered. Xu Qi’an was somehow relieved and turned to ask:

“What are you going to do to me when you get back to the North.”

To this question, Chu Xianglong replied bluntly, “Surveillance, or house arrest, and when some time passes, drive you back to the capital.”

It was really a simple and rough way. Xu Qi’an asked again, “What kind of person do you think King Zhenbei is.”

Chu Xianglong didn’t hesitate, “Overbearing, strong, very good to his brethren, a worthy lord to serve.”

After thinking about it, Xu Qi’an asked a treacherous question, “Do you think the King of Zhenbei will rebel.”

“No!” Chu Xianglong’s reply was short and concise.

“Why?” Xu Qi’an wanted to hear this Vice Admiral’s opinion.

“King Huai is a born commander, he likes to fight on the sands and dislikes the court. King Huai is a martial arts nerd, other than the sands, he only has cultivation in his heart.” Chu Xianglong said.

Well, that’s also true, although the throne is tempting, not everyone may want to sit in that position. If King Huai was really a martial arts fanatic, then the throne would be a shackle for him.

Xu Qi’an grudgingly accepted this statement, but did not believe it all, and had to contact the Zhenbei King himself before making a final decision.

He didn’t continue the questioning, hanging his head slightly as he opened a new round of brainstorming:

“Two things I haven’t figured out yet, first, if the princess is so fragrant, why did Emperor Yuan Jing give it to King Zhenbei in the first place instead of keeping it for himself? Secondly, although Emperor Yuan Jing and King Huai are brothers from the same mother, this old emperor’s suspicious character makes it impossible for him to trust King Zhenbei unreservedly.

“When it comes to imperial power, not to mention brothers, fathers and sons can’t be trusted. But the old emperor seems to have given his full support to the matter of the Zhenbei King’s promotion to the second rank? Even, when the princess was sent to King Zhenbei, it was for today.”

For the first question, Xu Qi’an’s guess was that the Princess’s spiritual embrace only worked on martial artists, and that Emperor Yuan Jing cultivated a Daoist system.

In this world of well-defined systems, different systems, the sky is the limit. Something that is a great tonic for one system may be useless or even poisonous to other systems.

Of course, this speculation has yet to be confirmed.

As for the second question, Xu Qi’an didn’t have a clue.

Chu Xianglong’s question ended, and he turned his attention to the two remaining spirits, the fake princess who had died horizontally, and the white-clothed warlock.

The white-clad warlock looked, more sluggish and mute than the others, and kept mumbling something brokenly.

“What’s your name?” Xu Qi’an tried.

“Xu Shengzu …….” The white-robed warlock mumbled as he took the time to answer his question.

It turns out that you are Xu Shengzu, I damn well thought that it was the name of the boss behind the scenes ……… Xu Qi an heart surged with disappointment.

This guy spied on Monk Shenshu with his qi peeping technique and his sanity collapsed, which indicated that he was not of high grade, thus it could be easily deduced that there was still an organization or a high-ranking person behind him.

“What organization do you back?”

“…….”

“Who are you working for?”

“…….”

“What’s your name.”

“Seung-Jo Seo …..”

This, this is completely unable to communicate ah, in addition to reading their own names, other questions can not be answered, this is not a three year old child …….. The corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched.

“I remember that there is another scented capsule in the fragment of the earth book, it is Li Miaozhen ……..” Xu Qi’an took out the fragment of the earth book and knocked on the back of the mirror, and sure enough, a scented pouch fell out.

This pouch holds the remnants of the spirit that chanted “Blood Slaughter 3,000 miles”.

When Wei Yuan took the scented capsule and reported the King of Zhenbei in the court, the capsule was returned to Xu Qi’an afterward, and he kept it, forgetting to return it to the Heavenly Sect Holy Maiden.

This kind of scented bag is a small magic weapon that Li Miaozhen refined by herself, it has the effect of nourishing and trapping the soul, unless it is the kind of old ghosts that have been sacrificed, otherwise, new ghosts like this kind of freshly dead ghosts can’t break through the boundaries of the scented bag.

“This warlock will be of great use in the future, even though he became mentally retarded. Well, let’s put it away first and give it to Li Miaozhen to raise it when the time comes, the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Sect, surely she has the means and methods to bring this ghost back to its senses.

“Well, that’s the benefit of being well-connected, no, it’s a perk that only a successful sea king can enjoy ……… This scented pouch can harbor ghosts, well, let’s just call it yin nang.”

Xu Qi’an collected the souls of the warlock and the others into the incense bag together, then collected their corpses into the pieces of the earth book and briefly disposed of the scene.

The good thing was that there wasn’t too much fighting going on here, and Monk Shenshu powerfully crushed and dried up, so all that was needed was to dispose of the bodies.

In the end, Xu Qi’an was troubled because he didn’t know what to do with the maidservants.

“It’s better to kill them, right? Those who achieve great things don’t spare the small details, although they don’t know what happened subsequently, they know that I was the one who intercepted the northern experts.

“But they didn’t do any harm, and they didn’t do anything against me, they were all innocent lives ……..”

Xu Qi’an weighed his options for a long time and finally chose to let these maidservants go, which was partly because he couldn’t skim over his conscience and do the atrocity of killing innocent people.

The other side of the coin is that there was insufficient motive for the killing and extermination.

Unless he planned to keep the Wangfei hidden, hidden to death, never letting her see the light of day. Or maybe he supervised the theft and seized the Wangfei’s spiritual embodiment.

Then killing and exterminating was a must, otherwise it would be irresponsible to oneself, and to the safety of one’s family. However, Xu Qi’an’s character would not do such a thing.

And there was another use for the Princess in his subsequent plans, a very important one. So she would not be kept hidden away.

In this way, the motive to kill and silence does not exist.

“Although I won’t kill you to silence you, your premature release will affect my subsequent plans, so ……. Sleep well here and go your separate ways when you wake up.”

……….

The wind in the night was a little cool, and the old aunt fell into a deep sleep, and when she awoke, she felt nothing but relief and exhaustion.

She hadn’t slept well in days, her body had built up a lot of fatigue and was in need of such a sound sleep.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that appeared in her vision was a huge banyan tree, its leaves “rustling” in the night wind.

And she was lying under a tree, in a meadow, covered with a robe, with the sound of a campfire “crackling” in her ears, the flames bringing the right temperature.

Her gaze froze for a moment, her pupils abruptly regained focus, and then the pampered woman got up with a carp …….

With her physique, this was an explosion of potential.

The first thing she did was to check her body, and was relieved to see that she was neatly dressed, before looking left and right in horror.

Then, saw the young boy sitting by the campfire, the firelight reflecting his face, warm as jade.

“Awake?”

Xu Qi’an, who was roasting a rabbit in his hand, didn’t raise his head as he said indifferently, “The water sac is right beside you, drink it yourself if you’re thirsty, and in a quarter of an hour, you’ll be able to eat the rabbit meat.”

Recollections from before her coma revived and flashed by quickly, and the old auntie stared at Xu Qi’an with wide, incredulous eyes, “You’re the one who saved me?”

“Yes!”

Xu Qi’an had just wanted to show his saintliness in front of people when he saw his old aunt shaking her head and staring at him warily:

“Impossible, Xu Qi’an doesn’t have this strength, who the hell are you. Why did you disguise yourself as him, how is he now.”

With one hand protecting her heavy breasts, she grasped haphazardly at her side, trying to find some sort of weapon to feel safe. Finally grabbing a water bladder, she stood at attention.

“If Xu Qi’an dares to come near, she’ll blow her head off.

Reasonable suspicion, the brain is not too stupid …….. Xu Qi’an blankly glanced at her and said without a trace of anger:

“The first time we met was at the restaurant by the ring in South City, I picked up your silver and you aggressively piped up to ask for it. Later on, I even smashed my feet with a money bag.

“The second time we met was still at the South City ring side, I defended you despite the danger and you hit me.”

With a muffled sound, the water bladder fell to the ground, the old aunt looked at him in a daze, and after a long time, she murmured softly, “It’s really you.”

Xu Qi’an nodded.

She looked at the teenager by the campfire in fascination, her plain face flashing with complexity.

“I fought with all my might to save you, as for the others, there’s nothing I can do.” Xu Qi’an casually explained.

“Yes, yes oh.”

She revealed a look of grief and whispered, “King, the princess is dead …….”

Xu Qi’an glanced at her, gave a salty “hmmm” and said, “This kind of woman who is a scourge to the nation and the people, dying is not the end of the matter, it is good to die, and the death of the clap of hands and praise.”

Her eyes widened all of a sudden as she glared angrily at Xu Qi’an, “What are you babbling about, where does the crown princess scourge the country, she’s a poor woman.”

“Where’s the pity?” Xu Qi’an laughed.

“Humph!” She raised her snow-white jaws, brushed her head away, and huffed, “You’re a coarse martial artist, how do you know the suffering of the Princess, I won’t talk to you.”

After getting out of danger, that haughty strength came up again, and it was wimpy and timid and haughty …….. Xu Qi’an spat in his heart and concentrated on roasting the meat.

The old aunt, at first, sat peacefully under the banyan tree, keeping her distance from Xu Qi’an.

As the rabbit got more and more flavorful, she gulped as she moved, moved, moved to the campfire, hugged her knees, and stared enthusiastically at the roasted rabbit.

Like a cat waiting to be fed.

The charred rabbit was roasted, Xu Qi’an sprinkled it with chicken essence and tore off two hind legs and handed them to her.

The old aunt’s eyes lit up slightly and she couldn’t wait to take it and nibble on it.

Hiss ……. She was scalded by the hot meat, hungry and not willing to spit it out, her mouth slightly open, constantly “hissing hissing hissing hissing hissing hissing hissing hissing hissing hissing hissing hissing.

Chicken essence masked the fishy flavor of the rabbit meat and also boosted the freshness, coupled with Xu Qi’an’s crispy and delicious roast. She, who usually detested fishy flavors, actually gnawed the two rabbit legs cleanly.

Then climbed under the banyan tree, picked up the water bladder, and took tons and tons of gulps.

Feeling incredibly fulfilled in life now.

After the wine and food, she moved back to the campfire and said with a parting sigh, “I didn’t realize that I had fallen so low that I felt happy in life after eating a few bites of rabbit meat.”

Your gesture of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is like the me who entered the sage time ……… Xu Qi an felt that she was covered with grooves.

Interesting woman.

“Huh, this Bodhi string of yours is quite interesting.” Xu Qi’an’s gaze fell on her snow-white white wrist, and he said inadvertently.

She blossomed and hastily gathered her sleeves to hide them, saying, “Worthless goods.”

He didn’t notice, did he? He sure didn’t. Who remembers a mediocre string that’s half a year old.

“Give me a look.” Xu Qi’an reached for her wrist.

“You, you, you’re reckless ……..”

The old aunt was shocked, was her little hand something a man could just touch.

She hid her hands behind her back and then stomped her legs to move back, not showing Xu Qi’an the string.

Xu Qi’an then grabbed her ankle and dragged her back.

The old aunt’s legs kicked wildly and a scream escaped her lips.

The scene looks like a deranged teenage boy attempting to violate Ninami.

“Show me the string, it’s not like you’re going to snatch it.” Xu Qi’an was puzzled, “Why are you reacting so loudly.”

“No give no give no give no give …….” She exclaimed.

“Ah!”

The string was still jerked off with a scream.

………..
