The beautiful woman in the white dress cracked a smile. "Why don't you try to find the place where the King of Zhenbei massacred?"
The man with the blurry face shook his head and said, "I've been to every corner of Chu Zhou City, but I couldn't find the place where the King of Zhenbei massacred. But the Heavenly Design told me that it's in Chu Zhou City. "
The woman in the white dress retracted her seductive demeanor. Her long and straight eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she muttered,
She said, "He's fighting for time. Once he finishes refining the blood, we won't be able to stop him. By that time, the only way to stop the King of Zhenbei is to kill Mu Nanzi.
"But Mu Nanzi is with that kid. If you want to kill her, you Spellcasters can do it yourself. Heh, being hated by a person with great luck is very damaging to one's luck.
"Oh right, did you say that the Supervisor knows about the King of Zhenbei's plan? If he did, why didn't he care? I suddenly suspect that Mu Nanzhi and Xu Qi 'an are together because the supervisor is secretly adding fuel to the fire. "
The man in the white dress sneered. "You can keep guessing. Once you figure out his plan, the Heavenly Design will sense it and the Supervisor will come. I will find a way to escape. As for you, don't even think about getting your tail back. "
The woman in the white dress was indeed afraid and didn't say anything more about the Supervisor.
"Three days, we have to find the place where the King of Zhenbei massacred in three days. Otherwise, everything will be over." The woman in the white dress said.
"I have an idea."
The Spellcaster looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance and said, "Xu Qi 'an?"
"Yes, and no." She smiled faintly and stroked the six-tailed white fox's soft long fur. She said,
"You think Xu Qi 'an's luck can guide us. That's a good idea. But what I think is that everyone seems to have forgotten about Wei Yuan. He's the only advisor who can fight with the Supervisor. Why don't we keep an eye on the emissary? "
The man in the white dress snorted. "If you know that he can fight with the Supervisor, then you should know that the emissary is just a cover. I have never looked down on Wei Yuan. I just don't know his attitude on this matter.
"Wei Yuan is a Kingdom Scholar, and at the same time, he is a rare commander. He does not look at things from the perspective of good and evil. If the North Garrison King is promoted to the second rank, the Great Feng North will have nothing to worry about. He can even suppress the barbarians.
"Wei Yuan has been fighting in the court and at the same time, he is trying to mend the Empire. He must want to see the King of Zhenbei.
"But what the King of Zhenbei has done has crossed the line. Will Wei Qingyi allow it or will he stab the King of Zhenbei in the back? I'm afraid even the King of Zhenbei doesn't know."
Speaking up to this point, the Warlock in white snorted coldly: "That idiot is still heading west."
The woman in the white dress threw the six-tailed white fox out of her arms and said softly, "Inform the monsters to enter Chu Zhou City and wait for orders."
The petite and adorable white fox fell down the cliff. In the process, its body expanded, and its round furry body elongated. In an instant, it turned into a ten feet long giant fox. Its body was smooth, and its four limbs were strong and powerful. The fox tail behind it was like a peacock spreading its tail.
It sprinted across the void as if it was running on flat ground, quickly leaving into the distance.
…
On the road to the west, Xu Qi 'an dozed off under the shade of a tree. In his dream, he was rolling in the sheets with a beautiful woman and the white-robed general was leading thousands of soldiers.
"Phew …"
Xu Qi 'an opened his eyes. The shadow of the tree was swaying and the light spots were broken. The beauty in his dream gradually overlapped with the princess who appeared briefly that night.
He couldn't tell if it was because he hadn't been to the Musical House for a long time or because the princess was too charming.
This woman was like poison. Once he saw her, his mind would remember her and he couldn't forget her.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the princess who was leaning against the tree trunk and dozing off with her head tilted. He also saw her ordinary face. Xu Qi 'an's heart suddenly became as clear as ice. He wouldn't be shocked even if the sky collapsed.
A different kind of sage surged from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey, hey, wake up."
Xu Qi 'an pushed the princess to wake up. He watched her open her eyes and urged, "Don't worry.
He urged, "We can arrive at the next city before lunch. Let's change the food and see if we can kill a few more barbarians or your husband's spies."
The princess frowned. She was not very happy to hear the words "your husband". She rolled her eyes and snorted.
When Xu Qi 'an squatted down, she obediently lay down.
The princess was arrogant for a while. She wrapped her arms around his neck and didn't look at the rapidly retreating scenery. She shrunk her head and whispered,
"Hey, can you beat King Huai? How are you going to deal with him?"
Although she was attracted by his temperament for a moment, the princess was still able to recognize reality and was very curious about how Xu Qi 'an would deal with the King of Zhenbei.
If Xu Qi 'an said, "I'm going to kill the King of Zhenbei with a single knife."
Then she decided to persuade him not to do such a stupid thing as courting death.
Xu Qi 'an said angrily, "I'm going to stab his wife. I'm going to stab her."
“?”
The princess was at a loss for a moment and suddenly reacted. She raised her eyebrows and hit his head hard with her fist.
Duang, duang, duang!
They fought all the way.
…
Chuzhou Guards.
Yang Yan brought Imperial Censor Liu and stopped outside the barracks. The barracks weren't the usual tents.
Other than the tents they lived in when marching, the troops stationed everywhere had their own barracks, which were no different from ordinary houses.
Normally, there were five to six thousand guards in a state capital. There were ten to twenty thousand guards in a state capital at the border.
For a state capital like Chuzhou, with the help of the King of Zhenbei, there were thirty-six thousand guards.
These thirty-six thousand guards were the troops that the King of Zhenbei could directly command in a short period of time. As for the guards around Chuzhou, the King of Zhenbei could also command them, but he had to go through a procedure.
The seal of the Commander of Chuzhou!
Yang Yan and Imperial Censor Liu sat on the back of a horse. After basking in the hot sun for two hours, the horse was so hot that it was snorting.
Imperial Censor Liu was listless. His lips were chapped and he laid on the back of the horse. He said weakly, "Yang Jinluo, let's go back first. I'm about to turn into a dried human being. "
At this moment, a guard came out with a saber hilt and said in a clear voice, "The commander invites the two of you in."
Censor Liu heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He tumbled down from the horse's back.
The two followed the guard into the barracks. They passed by many barracks and came to a courtyard with two entrances.
They entered the courtyard and met the Commander of Chuzhou City, Duke Que Yongxiu.
Que Yongxiu had an extremely good appearance. His facial features were handsome, and he had a short beard. However, he was blind in one eye, and his remaining eye was sharp and untamed.
He sat on a large chair and held a cup of tea in his hand. He stared at Yang Yan coldly and said, "Isn't this Wei Yuan's son? What are you doing in my barracks?"
The son of Wei Yuan's son was his adopted son, but the former had a hint of mockery.
Yang Yan didn't get angry because of this. He didn't even blink and said lightly, "Investigating a case."
Que Yongxiu asked knowingly, "Investigating what case?"
Yang Yan said coldly, "Three Thousand Miles Massacre. I want to see the records of the Chuzhou City guards leaving the barracks."
The reason why they started with the Chu Zhou City Guards was because the diplomatic mission had to come to Chu Zhou City first when they arrived in the north. Then there were the 36,000 soldiers of the Chu Army, all of whom were the North Vanquishing King's trusted subordinates.
They were also the main force of Chuzhou City.
The King of Zhenbei would definitely send his troops to fight the barbarians. The records of the barbarians leaving the barracks would be the evidence. The movement of troops was a tedious task.
It was not as if they left the camp just because they said so. The corresponding supplies, equipment, and so on were all traceable.
Due to the King of Zhenbei's control over the Chuzhou City, there might not be any traces left behind. But they still had to investigate. Otherwise, the envoy would have to stay in the station and sleep.
"Three Thousand Miles Massacre?"
Que Yongxiu slammed the table and stood up, scaring Censor Liu.
The Protector walked in front of Yang Yan and pointed at his nose, cursing, "I followed the King of Zhenbei and guarded Chuzhou City for more than ten years. How can I be investigated by you, the son of Eunuch Wei?"
Yang Yan didn't respond and looked at him expressionlessly.
"When I was fighting at the frontlines and guarding the border, you were lying in the beds of beautiful women in the capital. Now you come here to tell me about Three Thousand Miles Massacre? Pfft, go back and tell Wei Yuan and those scholars who only know how to use a brush. They want to frame me and Duke Huai? In their dreams. "
The Protector Que Yongxiu sneered, "Now, go back to where you came from."
Censor Liu was furious. He pointed at Que Yongxiu and scolded, "Protector, we are investigating by imperial decree. How dare you disobey?"
Que Yongxiu said with a fake smile, "Censor Liu, you can impeach me when you return."
He was that arrogant.
Censor Liu's face twitched. He was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He wasn't the leader or the Imperial Inspector. He had no right to punish the Protector.
He couldn't go head to head with the other in Chuzhou. He didn't have the right to do so. The only thing he could do was impeach the Protector when he returned to the capital.
"Let's go!"
Yang Yan turned around and planned to leave.
"…"
Censor Liu's anger was at its peak. He had been out in the sun for two hours and was in so much pain. He finally entered the camp, but the other party let them in on purpose to humiliate them.
There was no way they could investigate.
"Wait!"
Que Yongxiu suddenly stopped them. When Yang Yan turned around, he smirked, "Yang Yan, you failed to protect the princess and got kidnapped by the barbarians. You are still missing."
"Duke Huai is very angry. I didn't punish you because of Wei Yuan. But if you admit your mistake and kneel outside the camp for four hours, I will make an exception and let you check the records of the guards leaving the camp. "
When he said these words, Que Yongxiu smirked with undisguised provocation.
"You are going too far." Censor Liu was furious. He wanted to show off his scholarly skills and let this vulgar Warrior have a taste of how the women in his family lost their chastity.
But he was stopped by Yang Yan's gaze.
The two turned around and left. Que Yongxiu's mocking laughter came from behind.
"This is going too far, too far …" Censor Liu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. His lips trembled.
"When we return to the capital, I will let this ignorant man know the power of a scholar's pen."
Yang Yan said lightly, "He is purposely provoking me. He wants to kill us."
Censor Liu was shocked, "Why do you say that?"
Yang Yan didn't answer. He got on his horse and said in a low voice,
"Slaughtering the Three Thousand Li may be more difficult than we imagined. Xu Qi 'an's decision was correct. He secretly went north and left the diplomatic mission. If he was still in the diplomatic mission, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
"And with his stubborn temper, it was easy for him to fall into Que Yongxiu's trap. Here, he can't beat the Lord Protector and the King of Zhenbei. Only death awaits him. "
Censor Liu's face suddenly paled. He restrained all his emotions and said with unprecedented seriousness, "With Xu Yinluo's intelligence, he shouldn't go that far."
Yang Yan shook his head. "Pure provocation is naturally useless …"
But if it was like that Yin Luo with the surname Zhu, how could Xu Qi 'an tolerate it?
Censor Liu didn't pursue the matter, not because he understood Yang Yan's meaning, but because of his keen intuition in the bureaucracy. He realized that slaughtering the Three Thousand Li was more troublesome than the diplomatic mission had expected.
Otherwise, why would the Lord Protector want to kill them?
… …
"Let me tell you a joke."
Carrying Princess Yourong on his back, Xu Qi 'an trudged through the mountains and plains. He opened his mouth to admit defeat.
It wasn't because he'd been knocked on the head. Xu Qi 'an summed up the Princess Consort. Petty, cowardly, tsundere … the last two didn't matter, but she was just this petty. Yes, she was angry and hadn't spoken for a long time.
Xu Qi 'an felt bored and wanted to find someone to chat with.
Seeing him admit defeat, the Princess Consort grunted and raised her chin, saying, "Let's hear it for now."
"Once upon a time, there was an ant that liked to play with its legs. One day, it saw a millipede. The little ant was overjoyed and said, 'Oh my, I can play with this leg for a year.'"
The Princess Consort froze for a few seconds and then realized the mystery behind it. She giggled, "I've never seen a millipede before, but it's definitely an insect with many legs, right? That's why the little ant was shocked."
"Yes, yes."
"What does' oh my 'mean?"
"… It's a word used to express shock."
The Princess Consort suddenly understood and nodded, indicating that she'd learned it. She then forgave Xu Qi 'an in her heart.
Xu Qi 'an carried her on his back and ran for a while before suddenly stopping in a valley.
"What's wrong?" the Princess Consort asked.
"To pee," Xu Qi 'an answered calmly.
The Princess Consort spat, got down from his back, and turned away.
Xu Qi 'an looked at her strangely.' Does this woman think I'm going to pee in front of her? 'What are you thinking, you stinking pervert?'
He went into the dense forest beside the valley. Just as he was about to untie his belt to relieve his inflated bladder, the Princess Consort's scream suddenly rang out.
At the same time, Xu Qi 'an caught movement from afar. It was noisy and densely packed.
He hurriedly tightened his belt and rushed out of the dense forest. He ran into the Princess Consort, who had chased him into the forest with a frightened expression and an expression that was about to cry.
"Xu Qi 'an, oh my …" the Princess Consort screamed.
'Ning Ke is really a studious Princess Consort …' The corners of Xu Qi 'an's mouth twitched slightly. Then, he looked into the distance. He immediately knew why the Princess Consort was so frightened.
In front of him was a giant python that was thirty feet thick and more than a hundred feet long. It slithered its body into the valley, snapping the bushes along the way, leaving clear "footprints".
Behind the giant python, there was a black horse that was more than two meters tall. It had a single horn on its forehead, scarlet eyes, and four hooves that were surrounded by flames. There was a huge rat that was as tall as a human, with bulging muscles, leading a dense pack of rats. There was a four-tailed white fox that was comparable to an ordinary horse, leading a dense pack of foxes.
That was not all. In the forests on both sides of the valley, there were countless different kinds of animals hidden. There were apes, mountain spirits, rock goats, tigers, bobcats … and even more ferocious beasts that Xu Qi 'an did not recognize.
The army had passed through!
"It's the Demon Clan …"
Xu Qi 'an immediately pulled the Princess Consort behind him and faced the Demon Clan army as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
The situation in front of him caught him off guard. Xu Qi 'an did not expect that he would encounter such a Demon Clan army. He suspected that the Demon Clan was coming for him. However, his whereabouts were uncertain and he had to keep a low profile. It was impossible for him to be pursued by such an army.
No matter what, an encounter was an encounter.
At this moment, the python that was leading the way hissed and stopped. It raised its head high and stared at Xu Qi 'an with its cold vertical pupils.
The four-tailed fox, the black horse, the rat monster, and the other leaders all let out sharp cries or neighs to transmit a signal. All kinds of roars rose and fell in the forest, echoing each other from afar.
Then, the Demon Clan army stopped.
Gazes from the opposite side penetrated through the dense forest and landed on Xu Qi 'an. Countless malicious intents surged towards him like a tidal wave, all of which were captured by the warrior's intuition for danger.
The Princess Consort's face was pale and her legs were trembling. She held onto Xu Qi 'an's arm tightly as if this man was the only thing she could rely on.
Xu Qi 'an's brain was working fast, thinking about how to deal with the terrible situation.
"There are so many of them. None of them are weak. It would be hard for me to kill them all alone, not to mention protecting the Princess Consort … It doesn't matter if they are coming for me or not. According to the style of the Demon Clan, they would definitely hunt if they could.
"These are the Demon Clan of the North? The Demon Clan army has gathered in Chu Zhou City. Is there going to be a big upheaval in Chu Zhou City? "
"Phew …" Xu Qi 'an's chest heaved up and down. He gently touched the surface of the jade mirror and poured out the Black Gold Long Blade and the Confucian Dharma Spells book.
He held the Princess Consort with one hand and held the long blade in the other. He slowly put the book in his mouth and looked around at the Demon Clan army. His voice was slightly muffled.
"Who among you is the leader of the Demon Clan?"
The giant python spoke human language and stared at Xu Qi 'an with its cold eyes. "Who are you?"
They don't know me … They are not coming for me … Xu Qi 'an heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I am just a Jianghu Warrior. I have no intention of being your enemy."
He first made his attitude clear.
These days, people valued peace and harmony. Fighting and killing were not the way to go.
However, he had clearly underestimated the habits of the Demon Clan. Many voices came from the forest.
"Eat him, eat him."
"What a powerful blood energy. It's a great supplement to the flesh."
"The woman next to him also looks delicious. She can be a snack."
"Eat him, eat him, smash his bones and suck his marrow."
A wave of malice came crashing down like a tidal wave.
The Princess Consort's face turned pale like a flower in the cold wind, pitiful and helpless.
The giant python flicked its tongue and its cold eyes were gradually replaced by the desire to eat. They were ordered by the Princess to sneak into Chu Zhou City, so they should keep a low profile.
However, this man's Blood Essence was too tempting.
"Looks like there's no way to keep the peace … Shen Shu's great tonic is here …" Xu Qi 'an heaved a sigh and pointed a finger between his eyebrows. The corner of his mouth cracked open and he grinned.
"Are you sure you want to eat me?"
A dot of golden paint between his eyebrows lit up and quickly spread to his entire body. The golden light reflected in the eyes of the Demon Clan.
"The Diamond Divine Art?!"
Horrified screams rang out from the dense forest, and the Demon Clan was thrown into chaos.
The leaders of the Demon Clan instinctively stepped back.
