Report

After six hours of marching, they finally arrived at the campsite of the Chu Zhou City Army before dusk.

After the ten thousand soldiers arrived, they set up camp skillfully. Jiang Lüzhong led a group of generals, Xu Xinnian, and Chu Yuanzhen into Yang Yan's tent.

Yang Yan and the senior generals of Chu Zhou City had been waiting for a long time.

Everyone took their seats. Yang Yan looked around at Jiang Lvzhong and the others, pausing slightly on Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen.

"The situation in the north isn't optimistic. We lack cannons and ballistae, as well as military supplies. Thus, we've been focusing on restraining and harassing the enemy. They are unable to inflict heavy damage to the Yasukuni army. "

Jiang Lvzhong nodded slightly. The military supplies in Chu Zhou City were limited. Most of the cannons and ballistae had to be kept in the city. It was impossible to mobilize all of them. Otherwise, if the Yasukuni cavalry attacked Chu Zhou City, the Daibun army would be completely destroyed.

Jiang Lüzhong glanced at the deputy general beside him. The latter understood tacitly and reported the amount of provisions they had brought this time, the total amount of military supplies, and the ratio of cavalry, infantry, and artillery.

After listening, Yang Yan nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he looked at the deputy beside him.

The Deputy General stood up and said in a deep voice, "I'll explain the current war situation in the north to everyone. At present, the main battlefield is in the depths of the north. The Demon and Barbarian Allied Army and the Yasukuni Cavalry are in full swing.

"The combat power of the Demonic Barbarians is stronger than that of Jing Guoguo, and they have more types of soldiers, but they are still being beaten back by Jing Guoguo. In the past few days, we have analyzed the reasons and classified them into three points: First, the military literacy of the Monster Barbarians is not as good as that of the Jing Kingdom. The Monster Barbarians have the bloodline of the Gods and Devils. Once they are hot-blooded, they will lose their rationality. In a small skirmish, this was an advantage. However, in large-scale battles involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, this was a fatal flaw.

"Secondly, the Witchcraft Cult. The battlefield is the sorcerers' home ground. You are all experienced generals, so I don't need to elaborate further. Most importantly, there was a Rank 3 Sorcerer in the Yasukuni army. It was because of his existence that Zhu Jiu, who had yet to recover from his injuries, felt restrained.

"Third, Xiahou Yushu is a top-notch commander, his battle commanding skills have already reached the point of perfection. Facing such a person, unless one uses absolute power to crush him, it's very difficult to use so-called ingenious strategies to defeat him. "

He paused for a second and then continued, "The army that we are fighting at the border of Chu Zhou City is the Left Army of the Jing Kingdom. The leader of the army is Tuoba Ji, a Level Four Warrior. Under his command were three thousand Fire Armored Soldiers, five thousand light cavalry, and ten thousand infantry and artillery soldiers. Tuoba Ji wants to kill us at the border of Chu Zhou City. "

Xu Erlang thought to himself, "They're planning to kill me at the border of Chu Zhou City, which means they're not far from each other."

As expected, Jiang Lüzhong said in a low voice, "So, if we want to go north to help the monsters and barbarians, we must first defeat Tuoba Ji."

Yang Yan nodded slowly, "Only by defeating Tuoba Ji's army can we have nothing to worry about. The problem was that in terms of cavalry, we were far from being a match for the Yasukuni cavalry. They also had quite a few cannons and ballistae. We have an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers, but nothing else. "

A general smiled and said, "That's why you've come at the right time. Now that we have enough soldiers and equipment, we can start the battle right away and catch Tuoba Ji off guard."

The generals of Chu Zhou City also smiled. They had been waiting for reinforcements for a long time.

Jiang Lüzhong nodded slowly, "Do you know where they are?"

Yang Yan nodded and said, "I only know their specific location. There are scouts watching them and they report back every two hours. So far, nothing unusual has happened."

Jiang Lüzhong looked around and said, "We have to finish this battle as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the wizards' ability, if we fight a protracted battle, there will be more and more zombie soldiers. We may not be able to burn the corpses in time on the battlefield. "

Wizards had the ability to manipulate corpses. Therefore, the best way was to burn the corpses on the spot. This was the only way to reduce the number of zombie soldiers.

Everyone began to discuss this topic.

"The warlocks of the Imperial Astronomer will give us the coordinates, and when the time comes, we'll launch a few rounds of bombardment. Then, we will fire a few rounds of attacks, then the archers and the Fire Armored Soldiers will advance … "

"But if they retreat, other than the cavalry, no other forces can catch up. If the cavalry pursues, it will be like sheep walking into a tiger's den. "

"How about we form an encirclement while they have the numbers?"

"No. Encirclement will only disperse our forces, and we will lose our advantage. They can break through in any direction and even launch a counterattack."

"We also have to be wary of the wizards' divination. It would be better if we had a high-level warlock to help us."

"Diviners can only predict their own fortune. If they are not in danger, they won't be able to do it. Heh, if they have a third-level Spiritual Intellect, then forget what I said. "

In the midst of the fierce battle, Xu Erlang glanced at Chu Yuanzhen. The former top scholar closed his eyes and didn't join the discussion.

Xu Erlang also kept quiet. A quarter of an hour later, the generals were still discussing, but they had passed the stage of disagreement and started to formulate a strategy.

Xu Erlang glanced at Chu Yuanzhen again. He still didn't say anything, but Xu Erlang couldn't help coughing, raised his arm, and said in a clear voice.

"Everyone, why don't you listen to me?"

The discussion stopped. All the generals frowned as they stared sharply at the only scholar in the tent.

Xu Xinnian didn't have the right to sit here, either because of his identity as the Inspector of Dingzhou or because of his qualifications. But Jiang Lvzhong and Xu Qi 'an had been to the Musical House together and investigated a case together in Yunzhou. Naturally, he would pay special attention to his friend and comrade's little brother.

Needless to say, Yang Yan glanced at the displeased generals and nodded without batting an eyelid. "Xu Xian, you can speak your mind."

With the acquiescence of the Commander of Chuzhou, Xu Xinnian breathed a sigh of relief and asked the generals, "What is our goal?"

A general frowned and replied in a low voice, "Of course, it is to defeat Tuoba Ji's army and go to the north to help the demons and barbarians."

Xu Erlang nodded. "So our real goal is to help the demons and barbarians, not to fight to the death with Tuoba Ji."

"What's the difference?" A general asked with a sneer.

Xu Erlang glanced at Yang Yan and saw that he was listening attentively and showed no signs of interrupting.

"Of course there is. In a war, attacking the city is the bottom priority, attacking the heart is the top priority. What we should do is to achieve victory at the lowest cost. If we only know how to fight recklessly and use the lives of our soldiers to achieve victory, it is vulgar … "

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Chu Yuanzhen suddenly coughed and interrupted Xu Xinnian's speech.

"Attacking the city is the bottom priority, attacking the heart is the top priority. This is the concept in Xu Qi 'an's book on the art of war. You may not have read it before, but the book is called Sun Tzu's Art of War. It was written by Xu Ningyan recently. Oh right, let me introduce you, this is Xu Qi 'an's cousin. He ranked second in the imperial examination. Hmm, Minister Xu, please continue. "Chu Yuanzhen said with a smile.

Xu Yinluo knows the art of war? Attacking the city is the bottom priority, attacking the heart is the top priority. Wonderful …

It turned out that this pale-faced scholar was Xu Yinluo's cousin …

After learning that Xu Xinnian is Xu Yinluo's cousin, the generals quickly put away their displeasure and adjusted their attitude.

The Warrior who had asked the question just now put on a friendly smile and said, "Minister Xu, please continue. We are all listening."

Their attitudes were completely different.

The story of Xu Qi 'an avenging the three hundred and eighty thousand citizens of the Chu Zhou City and Zheng Xinghuai, the Chief Minister of the Chu Zhou City, had already spread across the Chu Zhou City.

Some of the military officers present were natives of the Chu Zhou City, and they were very grateful to Xu Qi 'an.

Of course, the soldiers and military officers who were not natives also had the same respect for Xu Yinluo. Every time they talked about him, they would brag about him and give him a thumbs up.

Since this unruly scholar was Xu Yinluo's cousin, then it was not that he was unruly, but that he was just like his cousin. They were both outspoken and talented.

Hmm, even though he was talented, it didn't stop the generals from looking at him in a new light.

"Xu Ci's skin is still too thin. He doesn't even know how to use his cousin's reputation to his advantage. If he had moved out earlier, everyone would have given him face." "You really want me to help you …" Chu Yuanzhen shook his head.

"I don't need big brother's protection …" Xu Xinnian mumbled to himself. He took a deep breath and continued.

"Our goal is to get rid of Taba Ji. The reason why the Jing State left this army at the border of the Chu Zhou City was to slow us down and reduce the pressure on them.

"If we really fight to the death, even if we win, it will only be a partial victory. It won't help the overall situation."

Jiang Lüzhong furrowed his brows and said, "We know that. What do you think?"

The generals all looked at him. They knew that, but if they didn't kill the enemy, how could they go to the north to help?

Xu Xinnian looked around and said, "Our advantage is that we have more people. I think the best way to take advantage of this is not to outnumber the enemy, but to make use of the numbers."

He paused and said, "Why don't we send the army to take a detour?"

Hearing this, the generals were all disappointed.

Only Yang Yan and Jiang Lüzhong were deep in thought.

"How? If we don't take care of Taba Ji and take a detour, we will be surrounded by the enemy? "

"Xu Qian, your idea is not bad, but it is not suitable for this situation."

The generals said in a roundabout way.

Compared to his elder brother, this Xu Xian was far too inferior.

Xu Xinnian put his hands on the table and said lightly, "Let me finish. I heard you say that Taba Ji's army has about eighteen thousand soldiers, right?"

Yang Yan's lieutenant nodded and said, "That is true if we don't include the logistics and militia."

Xu Xinnian asked, "What do you think about attacking the city with eighteen thousand soldiers?"

One of the generals laughed and said, "Wishful thinking. Even a small city with only eighteen thousand soldiers would not be able to take it down, let alone the Chu Zhou City. Plus, there are hundreds of strongholds at the border, we can send reinforcements at any time. "

Yang Yan's lieutenant added, "We have already cleared the field."

Xu Xinnian smiled and said, "If that is the case, we can transfer another ten thousand soldiers from Chu Zhou City."

Yang Yan's deputy general pondered and said, "Of the 20,000 men you brought, 10,000 will remain in Chu Prefecture City. It won't be a problem to transfer them over. It won't affect the defense of the city. "

Xu Xinnian's smile deepened. "Then let me ask you one more question. How many soldiers will be enough to deal with Taba Ji instead of killing the enemy?"

This time, it was Yang Yan who answered, "Twenty thousand soldiers are more than enough. This place is not far from Chu Zhou City. If we deploy them well, fifteen thousand soldiers will be enough."

Xu Xinnian nodded and said, "Let's keep twenty thousand. Right now, there are more than forty thousand soldiers in the camp. Twenty thousand soldiers will join the ten thousand soldiers in Chu Zhou City. The thirty thousand soldiers will take a detour to the north and meet up with the monsters and barbarians.

"As for Taba Ji, leave twenty thousand soldiers behind to confuse the enemy. That way, we won't have to worry about them attacking us."

The tent went silent for a while. The generals didn't say anything else as they thought about the feasibility of the plan.

"We still have Warlocks. The Qi Observation Technique can help us find the enemy. Even if they react and rush north to help, we can still hold them back."

"If they move, we move. If they don't, we will stall them. That way, we can help the monsters and the barbarians and stall Taba Ji's eighteen thousand soldiers. "

"Hmm, although it doesn't feel good, it is a good idea …"

The generals present were very experienced. Whether Xu Xinnian's plan would work or not, they only needed to think about it for a moment before they had a rough idea.

Inside the tent, the generals looked at Xu Xinnian with approval. At least, they recognized his intelligence.

They believed that he was someone who could participate in the discussion.

Yang Yan heaved a sigh and smiled. "Not bad, it is a good idea. We have to discuss the details."

Inside the tent, the generals looked at Xu Xinnian with approval. At least, they recognized his intelligence.

They believed that he was someone who could participate in the discussion.

Xu Xinnian heaved a sigh. He wasn't arrogant because of it. Coming up with a good idea in the tent didn't mean that he was a genius. The generals present must have had their moments of inspiration and come up with a plan.

Marching an army to war wasn't something that could be done with just one strategy. There was too much knowledge involved, so much so that the location of the toilets in the military camp was unique.

Cijiu was indeed talented in the art of war, but what he lacked was the ability to command. "He's a good advisor …" Chu Yuanzhen nodded.



"Imperial Advisor, you are very perceptive!"

Xu Qi 'an praised him and then analyzed, "The Dao Master of the Earth Sect is indeed in cahoots with the Yuanjing Emperor, but what does that mean? I already knew about it when I was in Chu Zhou City. "

Besides, the Dao Master of the Earth Sect didn't care about his family and only thought about doing bad things and women. There was no need to investigate him, right?

The beautiful Imperial Advisor glanced at him and said, "Aren't you good at investigating cases? If I knew about it, why would I need you to do it?"

"That makes sense. I don't know what to say."

After that, Luo Yuheng asked him about his level of cultivation and gave him some advice on the Heart Sword. After knowing that Xu Qi 'an was stuck at the "intent", Luo Yuheng thought for a while and said,

"Techniques are techniques, intent is intent. There is no intention. What you need to do now is to understand intent, not to combine techniques. That's putting the cart before the horse. "

"But I don't have the" intent ". If it was intent, I would be at the peak of the fourth rank by now. Auntie …" Xu Qi 'an lowered his head.

"More haste, less speed. It would take others years or even decades to understand it, but you have only cultivated for a month." Luo Yuheng warned him, "Don't rush."

After a pause, she added, "But I hope you can master the intent within two years."

"Hm? Why two years? Is there anything special … "Xu Qi 'an nodded and said," I will. "

Luo Yuheng nodded and didn't say anything else. She turned into a golden light and flew away.

But she didn't return to the Ling Bao Temple. Instead, she turned around and landed in a small courtyard not far from the Xu Mansion.

The small yard was filled with all kinds of flowers, and the air was sweet. An average-looking woman was comfortably lying on a bamboo chair, eating an orange that had ripened early. She grimaced in pain from the sourness, but at the same time, she couldn't resist the urge to eat it.

"Why did you come to my place again? What if someone finds out?" Mu Nanzi said in annoyance.

"Other than the Supervisor, no one can see me," Luo Yuheng said indifferently, "If you think the Supervisor will covet your beauty, then I won't come."

"Then I know my place." Mu Nanzi grunted.

Luo Yuheng ignored her and walked straight to the side of the water jar. He glanced at the Nine Colored Lotus Root that was growing delightfully and nodded in satisfaction.

"You've been living well recently." She moved her gaze away and looked at the Princess.

"I feel my waist is thicker." The Princess pinched her own waist and complained, "It's all that bastard Xu Qi 'an's fault. He always brings me out to eat."

Luo Yuheng smiled. In the past, when she was still Duke Huai's princess consort, she had all kinds of delicacies, but she never liked to eat them. Now that she had become a mediocre housewife in the marketplace, eating simple meals, her appetite was much better than before.

After being trapped in the Duke Palace for twenty years, she was finally free. Even the light in her eyes was different.

At this moment, if she showed her true face, she would definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world.

Luo Yuheng said indifferently, "Xu Qi 'an is leaving the capital. Will you go with him?"

The Princess shook her head immediately and denied, "Of course not. Why should I go with him? I'm not his concubine. I'm just borrowing some money from him to stay in his outer residence."

Luo Yuheng was satisfied with this answer and said indifferently, "Remember what you said. If you go back on your words, I'll sell you to a brothel."

Mu Nanzi said suspiciously, "What does it have to do with you?"

Luo Yuheng ignored her.

The Princess threw a tangerine at her. "Here, try it. I bought it at the market this morning. It's expensive."

Luo Yuheng waved her hand and pushed the tangerine back. She didn't even look at it. "I'm not eating it."

The Princess said, "Tsk tsk, I really envy women like you who don't go to the toilet."

Luo Yuheng frowned slightly, "The way you speak right now is just like a vulgar woman in the marketplace."

The Princess chuckled.



On the other side, Xu Qi 'an was thinking about how to break through the Earth Sect Dao Chief.

"I definitely can't investigate the Earth Sect Dao Chief. First of all, I don't know where the Earth Sect is. Even if I know, I can't go. The Jinlian Taoist priest will report me. But now, I can't go to the Dragon Vein because it's too dangerous and I won't get anything.

"I've finished reading the daily log. There are no important clues. How should I investigate? Wait, what exactly do I want to investigate? "

Xu Qi 'an reviewed his clues and train of thought. At first, he investigated the Yuanjing Emperor because he supported the King of Zhenbei's massacre of the city. There was a problem with the amount of effort and return.

After investigating for so long, there was indeed a big problem with the Yuanjing Emperor. However, Xu Qi 'an didn't have a clear answer or direction.

"What I want to do is to unveil the mystery of the Yuanjing Emperor. The soul core, human trafficking, the Dragon Vein. These are all clues, but I lack a line to connect them. The soul core has the shadow of the Earth Sect Dao Chief, and the Dragon Vein also has the shadow of the Earth Sect Dao Chief …

"Luo Yuheng's train of thought is correct. The Earth Sect Dao Chief might be the line that connects everything. But how should I find the entry point?

"I've also fallen into the wrong path. To find the entry point, I don't have to start from the Earth Sect Dao Chief himself. I can also start from what he has done. I'll go to the Night Watchman's office. "

He immediately left the mansion and rode a filly to the Night Watchman's office.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Night Watchman's office, he tossed the reins and shook his robe. Entering the office was like returning home.

The guards at the door didn't stop him and even let him watch the horse.

After entering the office, he looked around but didn't find the two perverts, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao. Perhaps they had gone to the brothel to listen to music while patrolling the streets.

Fortunately, Li Yuchun was a dedicated silver gong. Seeing that Xu Qi 'an had come to visit, Li Yuchun was very happy. She happily pulled him inside and looked back.

"Don't worry, that sloppy girl didn't follow us." Xu Qi 'an knew this superior all too well.

"No, don't say it, don't say it …"

Li Yuchun waved her hand. "Even to this day, I still get goosebumps when I think of her."

It seemed that Zhong Li had left a very heavy psychological shadow in Brother Chun's heart. It was as big as two rooms and a living room … Xu Qi 'an didn't waste any time and stated the purpose of his visit.

"Boss, I want to see the confession of Count Pingyuan's human trafficker."

"That's easy. I'll get someone to bring it for you." Li Yuchun didn't ask any more questions. She waved her hand to summon an official and ordered him to fetch it from the desk storeroom.

The file of this kind of case didn't even need the Night Watchman to go personally. It was enough to send an official.

The two sat down to drink tea and chat. Li Yuchun said, "Right, Guangxiao is getting married at the end of the year. The date has been set."

"That's a good thing!"

Xu Qi 'an revealed a sincere smile. He thought that Zhu Guangxiao could finally get rid of Song Tingfeng, his bad friend, and leave from the path of no return covered in frost.

Last year, while investigating the case in Yunzhou, Zhu Guangxiao said that when the case in Yunzhou was over, he would return to the capital to marry his childhood sweetheart.

I have to pay the gift money again … Under Xu Qi 'an's smile, there was an instinctive ridicule from his previous life.

Speaking of which, the biggest loss in his previous life was that he didn't get married. His college classmates, high school classmates, and childhood friends all got married one after another. The gift money was given again and again, and now there was no chance to get it back.

Just thinking about it made his heart feel like it was being stabbed by a knife.

Not long after, the official returned with a thick stack of files from the Human Ivory organization.

After Count Pingyuan's death, most of the leaders and minions of the Human Ivory organization were captured. Only a very small part of them escaped. Those who were imprisoned had already been dragged to the market entrance to be executed.

Only the confessions from the interrogation were left.

Xu Qi 'an directly skipped over the confessions of the minions and focused on the confessions of the small leaders within the organization.

The nominal leader of the organization was a man named "Black Scorpion".

Black Scorpion's identity was mysterious. Before the Yamen, the Night Watchman, had time to lock onto this person, Hengy Yuan had killed Count Pingyuan and disrupted the Night Watchman's plan.

As for these small leaders, they didn't even know that they were serving Count Pingyuan. They were only responsible for tricking and abducting lone children, women, and even adult men.

The men were sold as slaves or hard labor, while the women were sold into brothels or kept for the brothers in the organization to play with.

As for Count Pingyuan's secretly sending people to the palace, they were even more ignorant.

"With Count Pingyuan's status, he definitely wouldn't personally come forward to meet with the Human Ivory organization. This Black Scorpion is an important figure. Before the Night Watchman had time to lock onto him, Hengy Yuan had already killed his way to Count Pingyuan's residence … "

Xu Qi 'an sucked in a breath. "Could the python in Fu Xiang's story be referring to this Black Scorpion? He knew that the Night Watchman was investigating him, so he secretly reported to the Yuanjing Emperor. After receiving the Yuanjing Emperor's permission, he leaked the information to Hengy Yuan and borrowed Hengy Yuan's hand to silence him? "

This speculation flashed through his mind.

It was only a flash. Black Scorpion's fate was either to escape the capital and go far away, or to be silenced.

There was no need to investigate this person.

Xu Qi 'an continued to read the confession. As he read, an inconspicuous little detail attracted his attention.

There was a confession from a small leader named "Lord Saber". In the confession given by Lord Saber, he mentioned that when he entered the business, he followed a senior named Lord Deer.

This Lord Deer claimed to be a veteran of the Human Ivory organization. Lord Saber followed him when he was young. Lord Deer was old and slowly retired, so he supported this confidant to take the position.

The biggest problem with this information was that Lord Saber entered the business in his early twenties, but now he was forty-three.

Before Lord Saber, there was still Lord Deer. This meant that the Human Ivory organization had existed for at least thirty years.

The organization had existed for at least thirty years. This was a conservative estimate. The Yuanjing Emperor had only cultivated for twenty-one years … Xu Qi 'an took a deep breath.

"Is the family of this Lord Deer still alive?"

He handed the confession to Li Yuchun.

Li Yuchun shook his head. "I'm not in charge of this case, so I'm not sure. I'll ask for you."

He took the confession and got up to leave. About a quarter of an hour later, Li Yuchun returned and said,

"Lord Deer died of illness a long time ago. According to the laws of Daibun, the crime of human trafficking is sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, beheading, exile, or flogging depending on the seriousness of the case. The son paid for the death of the father, and the crime was reduced to second-class.

"Lord Deer's crime was sentenced to death by a thousand cuts. Because of his death, his son paid for it, and his crime was reduced to second-class. At that time, he was exiled to the border. Lord Deer's first wife is still alive. "

Xu Qi 'an drank the tea in one gulp, got up, and said, "Take me to her."



Although Lord Deer amassed a lot of money in his early years, he knew that his profession was "dangerous", so he bought a house in the inner city and left behind a lot of property.

After his son was exiled, Lord Deer's first wife moved into the inner courtyard with her family. They could still live a life of luxury.

However, the night watchmen were troublemakers. They extorted the families of human traffickers from time to time and squeezed out all the money they earned.

Therefore, Lord Deer's family moved back to the outer city, and now lived in a small courtyard in the northern part of the city. He had a grandson, a daughter-in-law, and a grandmother.

Li Yuchun knocked on the door of the small courtyard with Xu Qi 'an. The person who opened the door was a good-looking woman with a weak expression.

She was washing clothes and wore a coarse cotton dress, which made her look very simple.

In the courtyard, a child was riding a bamboo horse, and a white-haired old woman was raising chickens.

Seeing Li Yuchun's night watchman uniform, the old woman and the young woman's expressions changed greatly. The latter was trembling, and the former was very shrewd. She threw the dustpan away, crying and shouting.

"The soldiers are bullying me, the soldiers are bullying me again. You've forced me to death. Even if I die, I'll let the villagers see the faces of you bastards …"

It was not surprising that the old woman was also tough when she was young. After all, she was the wife of the leader of the human traffickers.

Li Yuchun stepped forward and kicked her a few times, shouting, "Shut up. If you make any more noise, I'll take your grandson and sell him."

It seemed that he had touched the old woman's reverse scale. She really quieted down and glared at Li Yuchun and Xu Qi 'an with resentment.

Xu Qi 'an closed the courtyard door, walked around the piles of chicken feces, and stepped in front of the old woman. He said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you a few questions. Answer them honestly."

When the old woman nodded, he asked, "Is Lord Deer an elder of the human traffickers?"

The old woman's eyes flickered, and she said, "What elder? I'm just a woman, I don't know anything."

"Oh, you don't know anything."

Xu Qi 'an suddenly nodded and pulled the little woman into the house. He grinned and said, "Little girl, you're quite beautiful. I'll go in and have some fun."

The awkward thing was that the little woman's face turned red. She secretly looked at Xu Qi 'an and didn't scream.

Xu Qi 'an flew into a rage out of shame and said, "Sell her to the brothel again."

The little woman screamed, "Mother, save me …"

"Sell this little bastard too." He added.

The old woman hurriedly hugged her little grandson and shouted, "Don't, don't, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything."

The old woman told Xu Qi 'an that Lord Deer was originally an idle hooligan who had nothing to do all day. He was brave and fierce, so he made friends with a group of people in the marketplace.

Until one day, someone asked him to "get" a few people. Later, the commission turned into incorporation, and the human traffickers were born. Lord Deer and his brothers entered the organization and made a fortune.

"When did this happen?" Xu Qi 'an asked.

The old woman recalled for a moment, frowned, and said, "If I remember correctly, it was the 26th year of Joan of Arc."

It was a turning point in her impoverished life. It was very meaningful to her, and she had a deep impression of it.

The 26th year of Joan of Arc, why does it sound so familiar … Xu Qi 'an muttered in his heart for a moment. His body suddenly shook, and his expression froze on his face.

According to the diary of the late emperor, in the 26th year of Joan of Arc, the late emperor invited the Earth Sect's Dao Master to the palace for a discussion.

According to the diary of the late emperor, in the 26th year of Joan of Arc, Duke Huai and Yuan Jing were hunting in the depths of the Southern Courtyard. They were attacked by bears, and their guards were all killed.

In the 26th year of Joan of Arc, someone asked Lord Deer to secretly plunder people, and these people were secretly sent to the palace. From this, it could be inferred that the Earth Escape Formation of Count Pingyuan's Mansion was built in the 26th year of Joan of Arc.

All in the same year.

After a long time, Xu Qi 'an mustered all his strength and muttered, "The Earth Sect's Dao Master …"
