"Three thousand miles of bloody massacre …"
Zalmuha's expression was still lifeless as he replied with an emotionless tone, "What three thousand miles of bloody massacre …"
Did I use the wrong way of asking? Xu Qi 'an frowned and said in a low voice, "Slaughtering three thousand miles of Daibun's border, was it done by you Barbarians?"
Zalmuha stared blankly ahead and muttered, "I don't know."
Xu Qi 'an's breathing became heavy. He took a deep breath and asked Sirius the same question. The answer he got was the same. This leader of the Golden Wood Tribe didn't know about this.
He didn't give up and asked Tang Shanjun, "Slaughtering three thousand miles of Daibun's border, was it done by you Northern Demon Tribe?"
Tang Shanjun's expression was blank as he replied, "I don't know."
Don't know?
Don't know!
Xu Qi 'an's breathing became heavy again. His eyes were slightly unfocused as he sat there for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, "Chu Xianglong, do you know about the Three Thousand Miles of bloody massacre?"
Chu Xianglong's expression was wooden. Hearing this, he answered subconsciously, "Wei Yuan tried to frame Duke Huai by using a corpse and a soul to frame him. Then, he sent Silver Gong Xu Qi 'an to the border in an attempt to frame Duke Huai."
I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense … Xu Qi 'an denied it three times in his heart.
… This was Chu Xianglong's idea? He thought that the so-called Three Thousand Miles of bloody massacre was a scheme by Duke Wei and the officials of the imperial court to target the King of Zhenbei.
So he beat them at their own game and used the envoy group to escort the princess.
So, the Yuanjing Emperor also had the same idea, taking advantage of the situation? It seemed that the Yuanjing Emperor and the King of Zhenbei were in the same boat.
After all, they were brothers born from the same mother.
The Northern Barbarians and Demon Tribe didn't know about the Three Thousand Miles of bloody massacre, and the King of Zhenbei's deputy general, Chu Xianglong, thought it was a scheme by Duke Wei and the officials of the imperial court. In other words, he also didn't know about the Three Thousand Miles of bloody massacre.
Then, who was the real werewolf?
Sss … the case suddenly became complicated. Xu Qi 'an didn't know why, but he was relieved.
"How do you plan to deal with me when you return to the north?"
To this question, Chu Xianglong straightforwardly replied, "Surveillance or house arrest. After some time, I'll chase you back to the capital."
What simply and crudely. Xu Qi 'an asked again, "What kind of person do you think the North Garrison King is?"
Chu Xianglong did not hesitate. "Overbearing, forceful, and very good to his brothers. He is a master worthy of loyalty."
After thinking for a while, Xu Qi 'an asked a rebellious question, "Do you think the North Garrison King will rebel?"
"I won't!" Chu Xianglong's reply was concise.
"Why?" Xu Qi 'an wanted to hear the deputy general's opinion.
"Duke Huai is a natural commander. He likes to fight on the battlefield and doesn't like the court. Duke Huai is a martial arts fanatic. Other than the battlefield, he only cares about cultivation. "Chu Xianglong said.
Oh, that's true. Although the throne is tempting, not everyone wants to sit in that position. If Duke Huai was a martial arts fanatic, then the throne would be a restraint to him.
Xu Qi 'an reluctantly accepted this explanation. He didn't believe it completely. He had to meet the King of Zhenbei before he could make a conclusion.
He didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and started a new brainstorm.
"There are two things I haven't figured out. First, if the princess is so fragrant, why did the Yuanjing Emperor give it to the King of Zhenbei and not keep it for himself? Second, even though the Yuanjing Emperor and Duke Huai are brothers from the same mother, with the old emperor's suspicious personality, he wouldn't trust the King of Zhenbei without reservation.
"When it comes to imperial power, even father and son can't be trusted, let alone brothers. But the old emperor seemed to support the promotion of the King of Zhenbei to the second rank. In fact, he gave the princess to the King of Zhenbei just for today. "
As for the first question, Xu Qi 'an guessed that the princess's spiritual essence was only effective on the Warrior. The Yuanjing Emperor cultivated the Dao system.
In this world with a clear system, the difference between different systems was like the difference between heaven and earth. Some things might be great supplements for a certain system, but to other systems, they might be completely useless, or even deadly poisons.
Of course, this guess had to be confirmed.
As for the second question, Xu Qi 'an had no clue.
After Chu Xianglong finished his question, he looked at the remaining two souls. One was the fake princess who died violently, and the other was the warlock in white.
The white-robed Warlock looked even duller and more wooden than the others, and he kept muttering something.
"What's your name?" Xu Qi 'an asked.
"Xu Shengzu …" The warlock in white muttered to himself as he took the time to answer his question.
So you're Xu Shengzu, I thought it was the name of the boss behind the scenes … Xu Qi 'an was disappointed.
This guy used the Qi Observation Technique to spy on Monk Shen Shu, and his mind collapsed. This meant that his rank wasn't high, so it was easy to deduce that there was an organization or expert behind him.
"What organization are you relying on?"
"…"
"Who are you working for?"
"…"
"What's your name?"
"Xu Shengzu …"
This, this was impossible to communicate with. Other than saying his name, he couldn't answer any other questions. Wasn't this just a three-year-old child … Xu Qi 'an's mouth twitched.
"I remember there was a sachet in the Earth Book fragment, it belonged to Li Miaozhen …" Xu Qi 'an took out the Earth Book fragment and knocked on the back of the mirror. As expected, a sachet fell out.
This sachet contained the remnant soul that kept muttering "Blood Massacre of Three Thousand Miles".
When Wei Yuan took the sachet and reported the King of Zhenbei to the imperial court, the sachet was returned to Xu Qi 'an. He kept it and forgot to return it to Tenzō Shōnin.
This sachet was a small instrument that Li Miaozhen refined herself. It had the effect of nourishing and trapping souls. Unless it was an old ghost that had been refined, a new ghost that had just died like this would not be able to break free from the sachet.
"This warlock will be of great use in the future, even though he has become retarded. Hmm, I'll keep it for now. When the time comes, I'll hand it over to Li Miaozhen to take care of it. As a Tenzō Shōnin, she definitely has a way to restore this ghost's sanity.
"Hmm, this is the benefit of having a wide network. No, this is a benefit that only a successful Sea King can enjoy … This sachet can contain ghosts. Hmm, let's call it a scrotum."
Xu Qi 'an stored the warlock and the other souls into the sachet. He then stored their corpses into the shard of the Book of the Earth and cleaned up the scene.
Fortunately, there was no intense battle here. Monk Shen Shu had crushed them with brute force. Thus, he only needed to dispose of the corpses.
In the end, Xu Qi 'an was frustrated because he did not know how to deal with these maidservants.
"Should I just kill them? To achieve great things, one does not care about trivial matters. Although they do not know what happened next, they know that it was me who intercepted the northern experts.
"But they did not do anything evil, and they did not harm me. They are all innocent lives …"
Xu Qi 'an weighed the pros and cons for a long time. In the end, he chose to let these maidservants go. On one hand, he could not ignore his own conscience and commit atrocities that involved killing innocent people.
On the other hand, he did not have enough motivation to silence them.
Unless he planned to keep his concubine hidden forever and never let her see the light of day. Or he would steal the concubine's spiritual essence.
In that case, it was necessary to silence them. Otherwise, he would be irresponsible for the safety of himself and his family. However, with Xu Qi 'an's personality, he would not do such a thing.
Moreover, in his follow-up plan, the concubine had another use, a very important use. Thus, he would not keep her hidden forever.
This way, he would not have any motivation to silence them.
"Although I will not silence you, if you escape too early, it will affect my follow-up plan. So … have a good sleep here. When you wake up, let's go our separate ways."
…
The night breeze was slightly chilly. The old auntie fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she felt comfortable all over, and all her fatigue had disappeared.
She had not slept well for several days. Her body had accumulated a lot of fatigue, and she needed this kind of hearty sleep.
She slowly opened her eyes. The first thing that appeared in her vision was a huge banyan tree. Its leaves rustled in the night breeze.
She was lying under the tree on the meadow, covered with a robe. She could hear the crackling sound of the bonfire beside her ears. The flame brought a suitable temperature.
Her eyes were dull for a moment, and her pupils suddenly regained focus. Then, this woman, who had lived like a princess, sat up like a carp …
With her physique, this was a burst of potential.
The first thing she did was to check her body. When she saw that her dress was neat, she was relieved. Then, she looked around in horror.
Then, she saw the young man sitting by the bonfire. The fire reflected his face, which was as warm as jade.
"You're awake?"
Xu Qi 'an, who was roasting a rabbit in his hand, did not look up. He said lightly, "The water bag is beside you. Drink it if you're thirsty. In a quarter of an hour, you can eat rabbit meat."
The memories before her coma came back. The old auntie's eyes widened, and she looked at Xu Qi 'an in disbelief. "Did you save me?"
"Yes!"
Xu Qi 'an was about to show his divinity, but he saw the old auntie shaking her head and staring at him warily.
"Impossible. Xu Qi 'an doesn't have this ability. Who are you? Why did you disguise yourself as him? How is he now? "
She covered her heavy chest with one hand, and the other randomly grabbed around her, trying to find a weapon to feel safe. Finally, she grabbed a water bag and stood ready.
If "Xu Qi 'an" dared to come close, she would smash his head open.
Reasonable suspicion, not too stupid … Xu Qi 'an rolled his eyes at her and said angrily, "You're right.
"The first time we met was at the restaurant next to the ring in South City. I picked up your silver, and you demanded it from me. After that, I even smashed his foot with my money bag.
"The second time we met was at the ring in South City. I protected you despite the danger, but you hit me."
With a muffled sound, the water bag fell to the ground. The old auntie looked at him blankly. After a while, she whispered, "It's really you."
Xu Qi 'an nodded his head.
She looked at the young man beside the bonfire in a daze, and a complicated expression flashed across her ordinary face.
"I tried my best to save you. As for the others, I couldn't do anything." Xu Qi 'an casually explained.
"Yes, yes."
She revealed a mournful expression and said in a low voice, "Wang, Wang Fei is dead …"
Xu Qi 'an glanced at her and gave an indifferent "Hmm". He said, "This kind of woman can bring disaster to the country and the people. Her death is the end of all her troubles. It's good that she died. Clap your hands in praise."
She suddenly widened her eyes and glared at Xu Qi 'an, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can Princess bring disaster to the country and people? She is a pitiful woman."
"How is she pitiful?" Xu Qi 'an laughed.
"Hmph!" She raised her snow-white chin and turned her head away. She said angrily, "You are a crude Warrior. How would you know Princess' pain? I won't tell you."
Now that she's out of danger, she's acting like a tsundere again. She's so cowardly, timid, and tsundere … "Xu Qi 'an complained in his heart as he focused on roasting the meat.
At first, the old auntie sat under the banyan tree and kept her distance from Xu Qi 'an.
As the rabbit became more fragrant, she swallowed her saliva and moved closer to the bonfire. She hugged her knees and stared at the roasted rabbit passionately.
She was like a cat waiting to be fed.
When the brown rabbit was done, Xu Qi 'an sprinkled chicken essence on it and tore off two hind legs for her.
The old auntie's eyes lit up. She eagerly took it and took a bite.
Hiss … She was scalded by the hot meat. Her stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she was reluctant to spit it out. Her small mouth slightly opened, and she kept hissing.
The chicken essence covered up the stench of the rabbit meat and also enhanced its freshness. Moreover, Xu Qi 'an roasted it crispy and delicious. She, who usually hated the smell of fish, actually ate the two rabbit legs cleanly.
Then she climbed under the banyan tree, picked up the water bag, and drank a big mouthful.
She felt that life was extremely satisfying.
After eating and drinking, she moved back to the bonfire and said with a sigh, "I didn't expect that I would be so down and out. Eating a few mouthfuls of rabbit meat makes me feel happy."
Your attitude of burning bridges after crossing the river is very similar to me when I entered the Sage Stage … Xu Qi 'an felt that she was full of flaws.
What an interesting woman.
"Hey, your Bodhi bracelet is quite interesting." Xu Qi 'an's eyes fell on her snow-white wrist and said casually.
Her beautiful face turned pale, and she hurriedly pulled up her sleeves to hide it. "Worthless goods."
He didn't notice, right? He definitely didn't notice. Who would remember an ordinary bracelet? It had been more than half a year.
"Let me see." Xu Qi 'an reached out to grab her wrist.
"You, you, how dare you …"
The old auntie was shocked. Her little hand was not something that a man could touch.
She hid her hands behind her, then kicked her legs and moved backward, not letting Xu Qi 'an see the bracelet.
Xu Qi 'an grabbed her ankle and dragged her back.
The old auntie's legs kicked wildly, and she screamed.
This scene looked like a deranged young man trying to violate the elderly.
"Let me see the bracelet. I won't snatch it away." Xu Qi 'an was puzzled. "Why are you so overreacting?"
"No, no, no …" she said loudly.
"Ah!"
In the midst of her scream, the bracelet was pulled off.
