Chapter 650

After lunch, Princess Consort knelt by the stream and carefully combed her hair with her head tilted.

Her figure was blurry in the water, but because it was blurry, there was a sense of hazy beauty, a beauty unique to Princess Consort.

Yingying's eyes wandered and glanced at Xu Qi'an, who was meditating under the shade of a tree across the stream. She had a strange feeling, as if he was an old friend she had known for many years.

But she clearly hated him from the start. He didn't return the sachet he picked up, he didn't return the purse he picked up, he even smashed her foot...

After revealing her thoughts, Princess Consort felt much more relaxed. As for what would happen to her in the future, she had never thought about it. After all, she had resigned herself to her fate many years ago.

What else could she do? She was a timid girl who would scream at the sight of insects and shrink into her blankets at the sight of swaying curtains. How could she fight against the ruler of a nation and a prince?

Now, she still didn't know what kind of fate awaited her in the future, but for some reason, she felt more secure here than in Duke Huai Palace.

"Sigh, I really am a femme fatale." Princess Consort sighed.

Beautiful women were all proud, not to mention the number one beauty of Daibun.

Under the shade of a tree, Xu Qi'an used meditation to communicate with Monk Shen Shu and steal the blood essence of four fourth rank experts. Monk Shen Shu's WiFi was much more stable, and he could connect after a few shouts.

"Master, you already know about the King of Zhenbei's scheme, right?" Xu Qi'an went straight to the point.

"... I don't always pay attention to the outside world. In fact, I never actively pay attention to the outside world," Monk Shen Shu said after a few seconds of silence.

Ah? You don't have the demeanor of an expert at all … Xu Qi'an told Shen Shu about the Three Thousand Miles Bloody Massacre and probed,

"Master, are you interested in the blood essence of the King of Zhenbei to break through to the third rank? Also, I have a question. The King of Zhenbei needs Princess Consort's soul, but he also slaughtered three thousand miles. Does this mean that he needs both the blood essence and Princess Consort's spiritual essence to combine to advance? "

Xu Qi'an dared to bet that Monk Shen Shu would definitely be interested and would not let the blood essence pass him by. This was why he dared to threaten to punish and even kill the King of Zhenbei.

Silence answered him …

"Master, Master?"

Xu Qi 'an shouted several times in his heart before he received a reply from Shen Shu, "I was thinking about something just now."

I thought you lost your signal again … Xu Qi 'an took the opportunity to ask, "What is it?"

Shen Shu didn't answer. Instead, he continued, "Do you know why it's so hard to walk the path of a martial artist? Unlike other major systems, martial artists are selfish.

"Plunder all the energy that can strengthen myself and turn it into my own. I'll focus on forging my body and Essence Soul. It was not strange for the North Garrison King of the Great Consecration to slaughter living beings and seize their life essence. . he. "

This was consistent with Monk Shen Shu's action of swallowing blood essence to replenish himself … Xu Qi 'an asked, "But what?"

"What?" Xu Qi'an asked. "What?" Shen Shu was silent for a few seconds.

Like a statue, Xu Qi 'an remained motionless. Then, he breathed heavily, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Phew … He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and calmed his emotions. Then, he asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you just start a war, and instead chose to slaughter the citizens?"

Shen Shu said gently, "It's not that simple. A Third Rank is no longer a mortal. To perfect oneself by absorbing the life essence of the common people, one must transform the blood essence of the common people.

"Therefore, he needs time to refine and purify the blood essence. Only when he reaches the desired level can he absorb it."

"To put it bluntly, a quantitative change leads to a qualitative change. Therefore, he needs the blood essence of hundreds of thousands of living beings …" Xu Qi'an frowned.

"Therefore, war cannot fulfill the conditions. Because the enemy will not give him time to refine the blood essence. Moreover, this kind of thing must be done in secret. "

This could explain why the King of Zhenbei did not refine the blood essence through war. During war, spies from both sides would be active. It would be difficult to hide from the enemy if they transported corpses on a large scale to refine the blood essence.

Therefore, the King of Zhenbei killed the common people in secret to refine the blood essence. But for some reason, a group of mysterious sorcerers saw through him and sold him to the barbarians. Was this why there were so many spies nowadays?

Shen Shu continued, "I can try to participate, but I'm afraid I can't kill the King of Zhenbei."

Xu Qi'an frowned. "Even you don't have a chance to win?"

Shen Shu snorted. "Since he has the confidence to advance to the Second Rank, it means that he is not an ordinary Third Rank. He is only a step away from the consummate level. In his current state, he can only fight. It will be difficult to defeat him, let alone kill him. A Third Rank martial artist is very difficult to kill. "

"But you defeated a Peak Second Rank ancient corpse in the ancient tomb."

"That was just a shell. Moreover, Daoism's strongest skill is spells. It doesn't know any of that."

Therefore, both you and the ancient corpse are like tigers in the plains. One has no eyes and the other has no tail. Let's see who is more crippled … Xu Qi'an almost covered his face.

After the conversation ended, Xu Qi'an thought about what he should do next.

Knowing that Master Shen Shu was so useless, he could only change his strategy. He changed his goal from "killing the King of Zhenbei" to "disrupting the King of Zhenbei's advancement."

One: Find the crime scene. It was very likely the place where the King of Zhenbei refined the blood essence. Find it, stop him, and ruin his plan.

Two: He had to hide his identity. He could not let the King of Zhenbei find out that the man last night was Daibun Xu Yinluo.

Three: What should he do with the Princess?

The first clue was Xikou County. He had to go there first to see what was going on. He had to be fast because he did not know when the King of Zhenbei would succeed. He could not afford to waste time.

Therefore, he had to carry the Princess on his back. The Princess … she was so beautiful. Second Uncle did not lie.

Two: How could he hide his identity? He could not reveal his golden body. Although it was a Buddhist secret art, and there were many monks who had it, it was not enough to be safe.

Xu Yinluo also knew Invincible Vajra. Xu Yinluo happened to be in the Northern Region and was not under surveillance.

As long as there was the slightest suspicion, the King of Zhenbei would investigate. Never underestimate the intelligence of others, and never take chances.

"Fortunately, Master Shen Shu has a set of skin: Immortal Body. This is something I have never shown in front of others, so no one will suspect me. Yes, the Supervisor knows, the demons who put Shen Shu here know, and the Mysterious Sorcerers know.

"But they all have ulterior motives towards me. Before I'm ripe, they won't be in a hurry to open my bud. No, the Mysterious Sorcerers probably want to open my bud. But before that, they have to think of a way to get rid of Master Shen Shu first. Yes, I am still safe.

"On the contrary, my face cannot be used. This is not something Erlang can bear at his age. But the human skin mask cannot be used. It will fall off with one hit. My disguise is not complete yet, so I can only imitate the people I am most familiar with. For example, Erlang, Second Uncle, Aunt, Lingyue, Wei Yuan, and Xu Lingyin.

"Why don't I disguise myself as a little bean and show the King of Zhenbei the power of a King Kong Barbie, hahaha …"

Xu Qi'an thought to himself, trying to lighten the anger in his heart.

After laughing, his face slowly calmed down. He whispered to himself, "Actually, there is one person I am most familiar with."

Three: How to get the Princess?

There was no way he could return her to the King of Zhenbei. He could only bring her back to Imperial City and raise her in secret. He couldn't keep her at home, so he had to buy her a small house.

According to Xu Qi'an's original plan, the Princess would be handed over after the trip to the north. But now he knew the brutality of the King of Zhenbei and the Princess's past.

Xu Qi'an planned to hide the Princess.

"But then those maids will be in trouble … Sigh, let's not think about it now. I will ask Li Miaozhen if there is a way to erase memories. The Taoists are experts in this area."

…

The City of Chu Zhou City.

The Dali Monastery prime minister was riding a carriage back to the station from the government office.

The three passed through the lobby and entered the inner yard. They went straight to the door of Yang Yan's room. Before they knocked on the door, Yang Yan's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

They pushed the door open and saw Yang Yan and Arrester Chen sitting at the table. They stared at the eight thousand mile map of Chu Zhou City in silence.

The Dali Monastery prime minister poured himself a cup of herbal tea and took a big gulp. He heaved a sigh of relief and complained.

"It's so hot today. My mouth is dry after a day of travel. The coachman didn't even sweat a drop during the whole journey under the scorching sun. It is true that people are nurtured by the local environment. "

Censor Liu joked: "It is the Prime Minister who is too weak."

The Dali Monastery prime minister's face blushed and he retorted: "You are a playboy, unlike Censor Liu, who is of noble character and unquestionable integrity."

He was mocking the Censor for pretending to be a gentleman while being lecherous.

Yang Yan waited for the two officials to finish arguing and then he asked: "How is the official correspondence going?"

The Dali Monastery prime minister's face turned serious. He shook his head and said in a serious tone:

"There is no problem. Judging from the regular official correspondence, other than the barbarians' invasion, there are no other clues. If we want to confirm it, we will have to do an on-site inspection, but I don't think it is necessary. "

Chu Zhou City spanned eight thousand miles, how long would it take to cover it? Moreover, as an experienced official, the Dali Monastery prime minister could tell the authenticity of the official correspondence with just a glance.

Arrester Chen nodded: "Also, there are many spies around the station. We will be followed if we go out."

Yang Yan looked at the map again and drew a circle north of Chu Zhou City with his finger. He said: "Judging from the scale of the barbarians' invasion, the massacre of three thousand miles will not happen in this area."

As long as the city was not breached, the government would not pay much attention to the massacre of the people in the villages.

Robbing the people in the villages was not enough to warrant the massacre of three thousand miles.

Yang Yan thought for a moment and then drew a circle around Xikou Prefecture and Yunsheng Prefecture. These two places were in the west and the other in the east.

"Is the official correspondence between these two places normal?"

The Dali Monastery prime minister nodded. "No problem."

Yang Yan fell silent for a moment before saying, "Constable Chen, bring some men to roam Chu Prefecture City over the next few days and gather information from the streets. Censor Liu, come with me to the command center. I want to see Duke Yongxiu. "

Censor Liu nodded slowly.

…

Somewhere in the mountains of Chu Zhou City.

On the precipitous cliff that had been cut by knives and axes, a hundred-year-old pine tree stretched out in a slanted manner, revealing layers upon layers of branches that were like a canopy.

A woman in a white dress sat on a rock under the old pine tree. Her hair and the hem of her dress danced in the wind, outlining her indescribable curves.

Her temperament was ever-changing. Sometimes, she was pure and beautiful, like a mountain elf. Sometimes, she was lazy and charming, like a peerless beauty that could turn all living things upside down.

The woman in the white dress held a six-tailed white fox in her arms, which let out a shrill cry, obedient and docile.

Suddenly, a chuckle came. "Your Highness, it has been 21 years since we last met in Shanhai Pass, but you are still as beautiful as the king."

The woman in the white dress giggled. "You have never seen my mother, how do you know I am not inferior to her?"

Behind her, a figure in white suddenly appeared. His face was shrouded in layers of mist, making it impossible to see his face.

"The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox is the embodiment of the essence of heaven and earth. Every Celestial Fox is unique in the world." The man in white paused and added.

"When it comes to looks and Spiritual Essence, no one can compare to her except the Princess. Unfortunately, the Princess' Spiritual Essence belongs to you alone, but her Spiritual Essence can be taken by anyone. "

The woman in the white dress smiled and said in a gentle voice, "She is the one and only in the world."

She lowered her head and stroked the head of the six-tailed white fox. "Why are you looking for me?"

The man in white sighed. "Not only did the Princess blow up Sampo and release Shen Shu, but she also stole my fruit. My twenty years of hard work almost went to waste. I hope you can let me go this time. "

The woman in the white dress said, "Every chess piece depends on his own ability. If you want me to let you go, I can. That kid has a saying that I like: Equivalent Exchange.

"Tell me, what is the Supervisor planning?"

The man in white shook his head. "If I say anything, the Supervisor will appear in Chu Zhou City. No one in Daibun is a match for him."

"You have taken half of Daibun's fortune. The Supervisor is no longer the Supervisor he used to be." The woman in the white dress smiled. She tilted her head and looked at the man in the white dress.

"That kid is just a vessel for you. If it was before, I wouldn't care about his life or death. But now, I like him very much. "

"Like him?"

The man in white furrowed his brows. He was surprised that she would say something like that.

The woman in the white dress didn't answer. Instead, she looked at the mountains in the distance and said, "As long as you can stop the King of Zhenbei from reaching Second Rank, it doesn't matter who gets the blood."

"No!"

The man in white said in a deep voice, "I want the barbarians to produce a Second Rank Cultivator."
