Chapter 378: Return to the Capital

“Knock knock …….”

There was no response from the house after two knocks on the door, and Xu Qi’an listened sideways for a moment, catching the sound of slight, even breathing.

The sun is in the ass, still sleeping, how heartless this woman must be ……… Xu Qi an muttered, his palm pressed the door of the room, and under the impetus of the qi, the bolt automatically popped open.

Stepping into the room, clean and tidy, the windows were closed, and on the round table were four teacups upside down, one of which was set squarely, with unfinished tea remaining in the cup.

The screen facing the door of the room was hung with a romper, a bodice and a pale pink embroidered plum blossom belly-band.

She should have taken a bath last night, and afterward she lay down on the bed and huffed and puffed, and didn’t have time to put away her clothes and small personal belongings.

This is the original underwear of the first beauty of Dafeng, if it was in my time, it would definitely be able to be listed on the internet to sell a lot of silver, no, it is soft money ……… Xu Qi an searched around the room and did not see the fragment of the earth book, following the sensation with the treasure of the magic, and finally found that it was used to cushion the corner of the table.

Suddenly a little want to let her know what is called a whip law …….. Xu Qi’an painfully took the pieces of the ground book back into her arms.

This woman didn’t even realize the preciousness of this small jade mirror, which hid Xu Qi’an’s life savings inside.

Thinking of this, he twisted his head to look at the bed couch, sideways and soundly sleeping woman, the sleeping posture is quiet, there are a few points of the air of the princess.

Waking up is all over the place.

Time passed, there was a water leak on the side of the dresser, and the woman in the bed mumbled now and then, twisted restlessly a few times, or, not knowing what she was dreaming about, frowned and stomped her feet resistingly.

The sleep was not restful.

As the clock ticked down to the beginning of the sixth hour (9:00), she finally murmured and slowly opened her eyes.

Afterward, Xu Qi’an saw the crown princess’s petite body stiffen violently, then slowly relax as he took a sip from his teacup and smiled at her, “Awake?”

At the sight of him, surprise flashed vaguely in the eyes of the Princess, branching out and assuming a careless demeanor:

“Why did you come back, heh, figured it out right, the King of Zhenbei is the third rank, no one in the entire Da Feng is more powerful than him. It’s good that you can tend to the good and avoid the bad.”

After a pause, the tone turned slightly softer: “This matter is handed over to the court to deal with it, there is no need for you to show off.”

Wangfei tossed and turned last night, it was difficult to sleep, all of this of course and she worried Xu Qi’an was killed by the king of Zhenbei did not have a penny to do with …….

Xu Qi’an said indifferently, “The King of Zhenbei is dead.”

The princess stayed there, like a statue.

“I, I don’t believe …… it,” she deadpanned, staring at Xu Qi’an.

“It’s not like it’s something worth joking about,” Xu Qi’an said in a nonchalant manner, “The murder of the titular Prince, such a big deal, why would I lie to you.”

The princess froze and looked at him, trembling, “Dang, really?”

Xu Qi’an nodded.

He saw the long eyelashes of the princess fluttered, a teardrop rolled down, two three four …….. The teardrops were like broken pearls, rustling down.

She cried for freedom.

Thinking that he wasn’t that familiar with her, Xu Qi’an coldly watched the First Beauty of Dafeng wailing and crying.

Only when she had finished crying did Xu Qi’an summarily reassure her, “You’re already free, and you can go wherever you want in the great state of Kyushu, just like Mondo.”

She sobbed and wiped her tears, not forgetting to ask, “Who is Mondo.”

With such a boring question, Xu Qi’an was too lazy to bother with her.

At breakfast, the princess, who had recovered emotionally, said furtively, in a room with only two people, “Did you kill him?”

Xu Qi’an shook his head, ”The Zhenbei King is so strong, how could I beat him? It’s because a mysterious expert appeared and beheaded him on the spot. The congregation of the mission can testify to this, so you’ll know in the future.”

Wangfei “oh” a sound, also think it is unlikely to be Xu Qi’an did, she is a smart and sensible woman, and is not one of those in the capital blindly worship Xu Yinluo ignorant girl.

Although the Zhenbei King was unruly and merciless in nature, his cultivation was not compromised, and he was much, much more powerful than the current Xu Qi’an.

She held a scallion pancake and nibbled on it, her small hands oily, her bright eyes hovering over Xu Qi’an’s head, “How did your hair grow back?”

“I would have had hair.”

“You didn’t.”

“I have.”

“You …….”

Wangfei was knocked by Xu Qi’an with her chopsticks and wisely changed her words, “You did.”

Thanks to the power of the Divine Distinction, Xu Qi’an’s hair finally regenerated back; a third grade martial artist could regenerate a severed limb, let alone a hair.

It was something that made Xu Qi’an very pleased, and even more pleased that he had kept his bald head well protected, wearing a sable hat so that others did not know the growth of his hair.

I’ll still be wearing my sable hat outside, so I can take it off after a while ………. I’m still the young boy with long hair. Xu Qi An thought happily.

After breakfast, he sat in front of the dressing table, in the mirror was the restored Xu Qi’an, sword brows and starry eyes, nose straight, lips on the thin side, cheeks on the hard side of the contour, the overall penetration of a man’s handsome and masculine beauty.

With the red lips and white teeth of Xu Erlang, and the picturesque eyebrows of Nangong Qianlou, they were very different types of handsome men.

The princess sat on the edge of the bed, wiggling her feet, looking at him knotting his hair, and asked, “What am I going to do from now on?”

Xu Qi’an coiled her hair and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, “It’s been said that you can go wherever you want.”

Noticing that Xu Qi’an didn’t quite want to mind herself, she said somewhat gamely, “Lend me another ten taels of silver, I’m going back to the Jiangnan Mu family, and when I have the money in the future, I’ll ask someone to return the silver to you.”

“Pop!”

Xu Qi’an placed a silver ingot on the table.

Actually so dry …….. Wangfei bit her lips, board face, put away the silver, then she silently packed the dirty several pieces of intimate clothes, small parcel to the shoulder, announced:

“I’m leaving.”

“Go on!” Xu Qi’an nodded.

The princess gave him a deep look, turned violently, and ran out of the room.

After running out of the inn, she headed out of the city alone, through the bustling crowds of people, through the downtown area and the long streets; the city wasn’t that big, and she soon made her way to the city gates.

However, looking at the spacious city gates, the Princess suddenly chickened out, it was as if that was not the way to freedom, the outside world was so dangerous, the hearts of people so complicated.

When she was thirteen years old, she was sent to the palace by her family in exchange for a high position.

She lived for many years in the layers of the palace, and then the Yuan Jing Emperor transferred to the King of Zhenbei, and lived in the royal residence for twenty years.

She longs to be free, to be uninhibited, but when freedom is at her fingertips, she suddenly realizes that she simply can’t survive out there.

She was like a canary in a cage, more than twenty years of fine clothes and food had robbed her of the ability to fly to the free sky.

Even though she could return to her “mother’s house”, it would be just another sale by her parents, no, the probability is that she would be sent back to the palace by the clan the next day after she returned to the house.

She was staring blankly at the spot, and after a long time, she was no longer blank, but the bright light in her eyes went out a little.

The princess kept her head down, looking at her toes, her shoulders thin and her back thin, like a homeless little girl.

At that moment, a man’s sigh came from behind him, “Little Auntie, I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I’d better take you with me.”

The princess gambled on not turning around.

Xu Qi’an walked in front of her and squatted down without speaking.

The princess glared hard at his back for a moment, the corners of her mouth quirking up gently as she opened her arms and flung herself onto his back.

After leaving the city, Xu Qi’an carried her on his back and ran wildly along the official road, at which point he missed his beloved filly a little.

“I’m a pain in the ass.” The princess whispered in his ear.

Warm spit sprayed on Xu Qi’an’s earlobe, causing him to frown, the earlobe was Xu Baijun’s sensitive zone, a secret that only Fu Xiang knew.

You are self-aware …….. Xu Qi’an asked, “Does Emperor Yuan Jing know about your appearance?”

The princess shook her head, “But he knows that I have a spell to change my appearance, and he must have known about it when I sneaked away several times. But haven’t seen me in this appearance.”

She thought for a moment and added, “The guards of the royal palace have seen me like this.”

Xu Qi’an didn’t reply, thinking.

Although the King of Zhenbei is dead, the Wangfei is still the meat and potatoes, and Emperor Yuan Jing will definitely not leave her unattended, even though the mission is unanimous in believing that the Wangfei has been taken by the barbarians.

But those maids knew that I found them in the end, of course, they didn’t know that I defeated the barbarian powerhouse and rescued the princess. But the fact that they survived and made it back to the capital is a doubt in itself.

Although it can not be used as evidence that I saved the princess, but as long as there is a suspicion, Emperor Yuan Jing will definitely send people to investigate, do not even need to monitor, directly and openly.

That’s why the princess can’t come back to the house with me. But it can be kept outside.

The capital has a population of three million, it’s impossible to search door to door, and besides, there aren’t any clues pointing to the fact that I’ve brought the princess back to the capital.

The best thing to do was to keep her outside, not far from the Xu Mansion, but not too close.

After considering the details, Xu Qi’an nodded his head in satisfaction, feeling secure.

Then, inevitably, he was bewildered for a moment as to why I had to go this far for an old aunt.

When did I get poisoned by her?

Xu Qi’an didn’t go in the direction of Chuzhou City, intending to meet up with Zheng Xinghuai first and bring him to Chuzhou City.

And now that the city of Chuzhou is destroyed, he is the Minister of Prefecture of Chuzhou, he has to clean up the mess, and by the way, tell him that the King of Zhenbei has already perished, so there is no need to hide in the east.

On the way, he intentionally asked Taoist Master Golden Lotus to shield the members of the Tiandi Association and open a private chat with Li Miaozhen, asking her where she was.

Unsurprisingly, he was scolded by the Heavenly Sect’s Holy Maiden, and then accused of the news that the Zhenbei King had perished.

Xu Qi’an was “shocked” and called it impossible. He fully demonstrated the quality of a “shocked party”.

This made Li Miaozhen slightly pleased in her heart, so she was no longer so angry with him for releasing the pigeon.

Afterward, Xu Qi’an asked her to leave Chuzhou City on the pretext of looking for Xu Yinluo, who was on his way here, to meet him in the valley.

At noon, Xu Qi’an finally arrived in the valley with the princess, that day to bid farewell to Zheng Xinghuai, he looked for an inn in the nearby county to accommodate the princess, the two places are not far from each other.

………..

In the cave, the campfire was blazing, and Li Han and Zhao Jin, the two buddies, were roasting mountain chickens, hares, fresh fish and other prey.

The tall and thin Shentu Baili closed his eyes and exhaled on his knees.

The fat Wei Youlong wiped his machete and said in a deep voice:

“I don’t know how Xu Yinluo and Mistress Flying Swallow are doing, Que Yongxiu and the King of Zhenbei are brutal and ferocious, so if they find out what’s going on, they’ll most likely incur the trouble of killing us. And if they have an accident, then we will most likely be followed.”

Tang Youxin, a gunman from the military, swept his eyes sharply toward the cave entrance, and then withdrew his gaze, hugging his lance and closing his eyes.

Zheng Xinghuai waved his hand, his voice was light, but his tone was full of certainty: “No, the two of them won’t be targeted by the Zhenbei King and Que Yongxiu even if they come up empty-handed.”

The pretty-looking young woman asked, “Why is Lord Zheng so sure?”

Zheng Xinghuai said: ”Flying Swallow Woman wanders the world, meddling in the affairs of others, and is able to make such a big name for herself, and is safe and sound. Never reckless generation. As for Xu Yinluo, solving a big case, maybe it is luck. But this one piece by piece, is enough to show his ability.”

The crowd nodded slowly.

Whether it was the Flying Swallow Heroine or Xu Yinluo, both of them were amongst people who gave people a sense of solidity, the kind of characters who would be incredibly relieved when things were handed over to them, without having to spend the whole day worrying and fearing.

At this time, Shentu Baili violently opened his eyes, his voice low and urgent, “Someone is coming.”

Li Han and Zhao Jin subconsciously dropped their prey, grabbed their respective weapons, and rushed out of the cave with the crowd.

A man and a woman came together.

The man was masculine and handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor, and it was none other than Yinluo Xu Qi’an. As for the woman, they just glanced at her and ignored her, their feet walking without a pattern, upside down, following Xu Yinluo.

Mediocre in appearance, with a slight gasp of breath between sprints, a woman who could not be more ordinary.

Zheng Buzheng, who was at the back, greeted him, arching his hand and saying, “Xu Yinluo.”

The martial artists behind him with surprise, Xu Yinluo the night before swore that he would go to Chuzhou City to investigate the case, unexpectedly returned today.

This place is hundreds of miles away from Chuzhou City, and this amount of time is not enough for a round trip.

Without any nonsense, Xu Qi’an opened the door and said, “I’ve received news that the King of Zhenbei has perished in Chuzhou City. I’ve come to fetch you all there.”

A bolt from the blue!

Zheng Buzheng’s face abruptly stiffened, his eyes slowly glaring out and his mouth slowly opening wide, making Xu Qi’an realize that this was the true vein of the Shock Party.

All the warriors looked at each other silently, and saw the word “disbelief” in each other’s eyes.

“Yes, was it a wrong message received ……..”

Minister Zheng Buzheng took a few steps forward, a complicated expression on his face as he had the luxury of hoping that the news was true, while at the same time deciding that Xu Qi’an had received erroneous information.

Shentu Baili and the others didn’t say anything, but they also thought that His Excellency, the Minister of Political Affairs, had a point.

A thousand times true, the King of Zhenbei was slaughtered by my own hands ………. Xu Qi’an smiled and nodded, “There’s no mistake, it’s true.”

Bang, bang, bang ……. Ambassador Zheng Buzheng heard the sound of his own wild and intense heartbeat.

“Mistress Fei Yan will be here soon, she knows what happened.” Xu Qi’an dumped the pot.

The crowd then returned to the cave and waited in apprehension.

Wangfei sat obediently beside Xu Qi’an, nibbling on a chicken leg in small bites, as the First Beauty of Dabong struggled to play the role of an insignificant passerby.

On the way here, she learns of Zheng Xinghuai’s identity from Xu Qi’an and understands that his family died in the massacre.

Despite the fact that she and the King of Zhenbei did not have any feelings for each other, but after all, they were a married couple with a name, and the Princess felt guilty towards Lord Zheng.

Half an hour later, Li Miaozhen arrived at the valley, descended her flying sword, and lightly fell into the valley.

She looked around at the crowd that had long been waiting at the entrance of the cave, nodded slightly, and paused again at the mediocrely-presented princess.

“Flying Swallow Woman, Xu Yinluo said, said ……… Zhenbei King perished in Chuzhou City?”

The Zheng Buzheng ambassador sprinted a few steps and stared straight at her.

Li Miaozhen gave an affirmative reply, “Yes, his body is still in Chuzhou City.”

Immediately, he briefly told the story of the battle in Chuzhou City.

After hearing this, Zheng Buzheng slowly nodded his head, and his bloodshot eyes, sweeping over the crowd, whispered, “My lord, my lord would like to be alone for a moment.”

Arching his hand, he turned, and slowly walked back to the cave.

A few seconds later, heartbreaking cries came from inside.

Xu Qi’an sighed, and then Li Miaozhen’s voice transmission rang in his ears, “Who is she?”

“A person with a miserable life, it just so happens that I have something to ask of you, the case of the Blood Slaughter 3,000 miles has been settled, and you don’t have to worry about the aftermath. Can you help me take her back to the capital? Remember not to flaunt, it’s best to find an inn to rest down first, and wait for me to return to the capital.”

Xu Qi’an replied with a voice transmission.

Li Miaozhen did not reply, scrutinizing the Wangfei for a moment, skimming her lips and transmitting her voice:

“A person whose life is miserable, so you want to bring it back to the capital for resettlement? This woman is a good-looking woman, but when did you become so hungry?”

Miao-jin, not that I’m putting you down, with the bracelet off, she can confidently say that everyone here is trash!

Xu Qi’an sensed that Li Miaozhen was a bit upset, so he didn’t respond, only arching his hand.

Then he turned around and whispered to the princess, “She is my concubine’s mother’s family and can be trusted, so you should first accompany her back to the capital and listen to her arrangements.”

When the princess heard this, her willow brows knitted lightly, this was the first time she had heard that Xu Qi’an had a concubine, but when she thought of his status and position, and when she thought of a frequent visitor of the Church Department like him, wouldn’t it be normal to have a concubine. As for Li Miaozhen she did recognize her.

“Uh-huh!” She nodded coldly.

…………

Three days later, day and night, non-stop hoof Zheng Buzheng, after more than a month, finally returned to the city of Chuzhou.

Zheng Xinghuai with white hair, step by step, climbed to the top of the city, he saw that the former prosperous city of Chuzhou has been reduced to ruins, everywhere is a broken wall, the earth is full of devastation.

Half of the northern wall collapsed, and the western gate was crushed.

More than 20,000 soldiers were scattered throughout the city, each busy with their own, some searching for food, rice and noodles and other foodstuffs, although the city was badly damaged, the substances hidden in the cellars were well preserved and many supplies could be found in the collapsed ruins.

Some soldiers are building houses to serve as makeshift barracks to provide temporary shelter for more than 20,000 soldiers.

Some of the soldiers were mending the walls.

Some of the soldiers were burying corpses, those of their fellow soldiers, those of the people of the city, and those of the barbarians and demons.

These have been in order for three days.

“The history books will surely write down this incident to warn future generations, and at the same time, they will also write down the sins of the King of Zhenbei, so that he will be left in infamy for years to come.”

As Liu Yu Shi appeared by his side, the mission’s side had already learned from Li Miaozhen about Zheng Xinghuai’s escape from death, and understood that the Zheng Xinghuai they had seen in the city was a fake.

Mostly it was the handiwork of that third grade sorcerer, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from the fourth grade Yang Yan.

“The court, will it really convict the King of Zhenbei?” Zheng Buzheng said in a low voice.

“Victory is earned.” Royalty Liu said word for word.

At this time, Xu Qi’an, Yang Yan, Sheriff Chen and others ascended the city wall, and the organizing officer Xu Yinluo said in a deep voice, “Next, we will return to the capital, return to the capital to determine the Zhenbei King’s crime, and to put a lid on this case.

“But before that, the Jung Buzheng should want to toast a few thin glasses of wine to the fallen souls of the city first.”

Centurion Chen Snap carried a wine jug in his hand and stepped forward.

Zheng Buzheng took the jug of wine and once again looked out over the city below, wanting to set aside some time to reminisce about the first half of his life before paying his respects.

………

Zheng Xinghuai was born in Zhangzhou, which is known as one of the two major granaries of Dafeng, but his family was very poor when he was young, and he struggled to make ends meet through his mother’s washing and embroidery work for the well-off.

What the young Zheng Xinghuai looked forward to the most was the fall harvest, when he could go to other people’s fields to collect ears of wheat.

By picking up a basket of wheat ears, he and his widowed mother can have porridge for three days. You can’t pick up too much or you’ll be severely beaten.

After the fall harvest, the hardest thing to endure was winter, and every winter his hands and feet were frozen and cracked. Her mother, on the other hand, even in the winter, for a few coins, she had to syringe people’s clothes by the frozen river.

Little by little, his widowed mother was able to save up enough money for him to pay his teacher’s tuition and to enter the Imperial College.

Zheng Xinghuai 16 years old into the State Prison, studying hard for ten years, Yuan Jing 19 years, he was the gold list, the second grade.

He hoofed it back to his hometown, wanting to give joy to his mother, wanting to take her to the capital to settle down, wanting to shine and impress all the people who had once spoken cold words.

But all he saw was his mother’s short grave.

The widowed mother had died many years ago, and he had never been told that the family letter was written with the help of the clan, because the common woman who had worked so hard all her life did not wish to interfere with her son’s studies.

Zheng Xinghuai knelt at his mother’s grave for a day and a night.

Zheng Xinghuai’s career was not smooth, because too stereotypical, unwilling to go along with the crowd, he offended the then-chief minister, was relegated to the northern part of the Serbian Chuzhou, as an eighth-grade county magistrate.

At first he did not like Chuzhou, because of the bitter cold in the northern part of the country, the people are tough. Stereotypical of him, but also finally got the hang of it, exhausting his savings to find acquaintances to make connections, hoping to be transferred back to the capital.

Until one year, the barbarian cavalry came over to hit Grass Valley and plundered for dozens of miles.

Afterwards, Zheng Xinghuai was sent to console the people and inspect the situation; he walked on the ridge and looked at the seedlings trampled by the iron horsemen; he walked on the official road and looked at the corpses devoured by the barbarians with only the remains of their bodies; he went into the mountains and saw the people who were lucky enough to escape, and looked at their poor and vicissitudes of life.

Zheng Xinghuai remembered his mother who had died many years ago.

Later that chief minister was sentenced to death, and his fellow students and close friends operated in the court with the intention of transferring him back to the capital.

But at that time Zheng Xinghuai already did not want to leave Chuzhou, because he poured all his energy, heart and soul into this land.

He was so desperate, often staying up all night on political matters, as if that would make up for what he owed his mother.

Time passed, eighteen years snapped his fingers, and he had given most of his life to Chuzhou, but now he had ended up alone.

“Merit and fame, a book of paper, but raised ashes in the dust …….” Zheng Buzheng, the minister of government, wept with sadness.

The wine poured down and splashed dust.

………..

No one spoke for a long time until Zheng Xinghuai’s mood stabilized, and the Chancellor of the Da Lisi cleared his throat and said:

“Que Yongxiu has fled in fear of punishment, and the Zhenbei King has been put to death, but their crimes have not yet been made known to the world, and Minister Zheng Buzheng is the main witness, and must return to the capital with us. But this scene in Chuzhou City, today’s northern border, need people to stay to preside over the big picture ………..”

Liu Imperial Frowned and analyzed, ”The three hundred and eighty thousand people of Chuzhou City died tragically, the aftermath of the incident is simple, we only need to settle the twenty thousand plus generals.

“As for the other states, counties, and counties, it’s fine to keep things as they are, no need for special care. As for the barbarians and demons, they have just experienced this great battle and have long been scared out of their wits. They’re afraid of that mysterious expert and won’t invade the borders again in the short term. It won’t even be for many years.”

Zheng Xinghuai pondered for a moment and looked at Yang Yan: “A scholar is not in charge of the army, this official is good at handling government affairs, but managing the army is a layman. Yang Jinluo, you have the highest cultivation level in the room, and even more experience with the army. You can both manage and deter the soldiers.”

Yang Yan nodded and faintly said, “OK.”

The head is actually an upgraded version of Zhu Guangxiao ah, silent, but down to earth and willing to work, very reliable ……… Xu Qi an did not interrupt from the beginning to the end.

Because what he wanted to say was finished by these civil officials.

“Right,” he suddenly remembered something, “Zhenbei King’s body brought back to the capital, he is the protagonist of this case, death, but also to bring back to the capital.”

“That’s natural.” Minister Zheng Buzheng nodded his head.

The body of the King of Zhenbei must be brought back to the capital no matter what.

This case, killing the King of Zhenbei is only the preliminary end, characterizing the case is a perfect finale.

Seeing that the matter had been talked over, Yang Yan looked at Xu Qi’an and said in a deep voice, “Follow me over.”

Guv, your serious look and arrogant tone are like my class teacher in middle school ……… Xu Qi an still obediently went with him.

The two of them walked along the city wall, and after walking out for some distance, Yang Yan stopped and turned around:

“When King Zhenbei sacrificed the people of the city, I had seen the souls of the people of the city converge into the ground, and there seemed to be a formation under the ground. But when I went to dig afterwards and dug three feet into the ground, I found nothing.”

Souls converging into the ground? What kind of operation is this Isn t the Zhenbei King s slaughter of the city for the purpose of refining blood pills ……… Xu Qi an s first reaction after hearing this:

Miao-jin, I need you!

If you have a blind spot of knowledge about souls, it’s right to look for Li Miaochen, and if Li Miaochen is not a good learner, then it’s okay, there’s still Golden Lotus Taoist Master, an old silver coin.

Yang Yan gazed at him and asked, “Do you have any clues.”

The benefits of a wide range of contacts are very obvious, I will continue to carry the fish pond forward in the future, by the way, the small sword carved from butter jade has not yet been given to the military lady ………. Xu Qi An thought borderline in his heart and said in a deep voice:

“Chief, wait a moment, I’m going to the latrine.”

Yang Yan is aware that he holds a fragment of the Book of Earth, when that Zilian Taoist priest, is Yang Yan single-handedly killed.

Xu Qi’an walked down the city, found a secluded corner, took out a fragment of the Earth Book, and used his identity as Number Three to transmit a message: [Daoist Golden Lotus, I have something to discuss with you alone.]

In the middle of the night, the members of the Tiandi Association who saw this transmission had a very bad feeling in their hearts.

I don’t know what’s going on lately, but that female crown, Li Miaozhen, has been asking to shield the group for three days, and now Number Three has followed suit.

A few seconds later, Daoist Golden Lotus transmitted, [What is it?

[3: What about Myojin? Myojin can participate in the conversation.]

…….. Daoist Master Golden Lotus let out a sigh and transmitted the message, [Miaozhen, you may transmit the message now].

[2: What do you want from me? If you have something to say, just say it, and if you have a fart, let it go.]

What’s going on here, so much fire? Xu Qi’an transmitted a letter: [You don’t seem too happy, what’s wrong.]

Li Miaozhen: [Hehe, what’s wrong with you woman, she’s about to treat me like a maid, those who don’t know think she’s the princess. That kind of peace of mind stance is just infuriating.]

You are a great seer like Zhong Li? Xu Qi’an sent a message to comfort the Holy Maiden: [Don’t bother with her in general, she’s used to it.]

That stupid woman, the crown princess, may not have done it on purpose. She had been the crown princess for half her life, with her brocade clothes and maids serving her, and there were many habits in her life that could not be changed just by saying so.

Unless Li Miaozhen is like him and keeps knocking the crown princess.

Li Miaozhen: [Something to talk about, don’t disturb my meditation.]

Obviously the remaining anger has not been eliminated, with fire ah, I still coax her …….. Xu Qi An transmitted the book:

[I don’t think you need to be so hardworking, with our Fei Yan warrior’s natural talent, you only need to focus part of your energy on cultivation, and you’ll be able to stand proudly against your peers.]

Li Miaozhen transmits a letter: [Hmph, I think you’re lying to me.]

She was in a slightly better mood.

Xu Qi’an: [What does Daoist Jinlian think?

Taoist Master Jinlian: [I don’t think you guys have any respect for me at all.]

Just like a rowdy classroom ushering in the homeroom teacher, Xu Qi’an and Li Miaochen didn’t dare to continue their idle chit-chat, and the former brought the topic back, passing on a letter to explain the situation:

[It’s like this, when the King of Zhenbei sacrificed the people of Chuzhou City, Yang Yan saw with his own eyes the souls of the people converging into the ground, but afterward, how could he not find the end of the story.]

Li Miaozhen replied, [Is there any residue of the formation?

Yang Yan didn’t say, that means no ……… Xu Qi’an replied: [No.]

Li Miaozhen stopped talking.

In the midst of the silence, Daoist Golden Lotus transmitted, [Listening to what Miaozhen said a few days ago, the experts involved are the Earth Sect’s Dao Head and the Witch God Cult. Heh, they are all strong in the Yuan Shen realm, and the formations are dispensable.

[Well, although the Taoist Sect and the Witch God Sect refine and raise ghosts, they basically don’t collect that many souls. Unless they want to refine soul pills.]

There is an old man in the family, such as a treasure, it is true that it is still Jinlian Taoist priest rich in experience …….. Xu Qi’an transmitted a letter: [Soul Dan? What is Soul Dan and what does it do.]

Daoist Master Golden Lotus transmitted: [There are many roles, such as enhancing the Yuan Shen, acting as alchemy materials, refining magic treasures, repairing dysfunctional souls, cultivating artifact spirits, and so on. Probably, the Earth Sect Dao Head needs soul pills. In addition, the resentment and hostility generated by the slaughter of the city, this great evil in the world is a great tonic for him].

So, the Earth Sect Dao Head was cooperating with the Zhenbei King for the sake of the Soul Pill? Xu Qi’an nodded indistinctly.

[3: In that case, will he continue to slaughter the city? The head of the Earth Sect Dao is a second grade ah.]

Xu Qi’an asked worriedly.

[Nine: Heh, he doesn’t dare to, because he’s just a hair’s breadth away from the heavenly calamity to ……. that state of his, he doesn’t dare to cross the tribulation at all. So you don’t have to worry about him slaughtering living beings unless he doesn’t want to live anymore.]

Xu Qi’an was instantly relieved.

Ending the transmission, he returned to the city.

Yang Yan immediately looked over.

Xu Qi’an mused, “It just occurred to me that those souls should have been refined into soul pills. Most likely, it was a reward for the cooperation between the Earth Sect Dao Head and the Zhenbei King.”

The Soul Dan is the “greatest evil” that the head of the Earth Sect says? Yang Yan nodded slowly.

He was there at the time and heard it clearly, though from a distance.

The next step is to characterize the Chuzhou massacre and let the Zhenbei King and Que Yongxiu carry the charges they deserve, which will surely suffer obstruction ……… Yang Yan Dao:

“Find Wei Gong when you have something to do, listen to his advice more often, and don’t be reckless and impulsive anymore, do you understand.”

After a pause, he whispered, “If Lord Wei feels that this matter is not to be violated, you must not try to be strong.”

Xu Qi’an looked at him and didn’t say anything.

……….

Early May, early summer.

An official ship from Chuzhou, breaking the waves, slowly sailed into the boundaries of the capital and finally anchored at the capital’s pier.

The people of the mission stood on the deck, looking at the crowded and enthusiastic pier, and felt a great deal of emotion in their hearts.

It was late spring when they traveled to Chuzhou, and when they returned to the capital, it was already early summer.

What happened during this time could be bragged about for the rest of one’s life when it comes to ordinary people.

Faith burned in the eyes of the mission’s crowd as they breathed a sigh of relief.

They’ll be bringing a heavy dose of news to the capital.

There is no more King of Zhenbei in Dafeng.

PS: This is a two-in-one chapter, one of which makes up for yesterday. Last night’s Centurion chapter was delayed a bit, and while I’ve been dragging my feet from time to time due to work, I haven’t been missing the number of words I should have, unless I take a vacation.

Thank you to “The Length of Time, Nine-tailed Snow Demon, Too Difficult to Chen, Immortal Reincarnation, I Promise You a Life, Turbid Life, and Huai Shu” for their alliance rewards. I’ve added your words of appreciation to the 100 Allies chapter.
