Chapter 700

"Knock knock …"

He knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. Xu Qi 'an listened for a while and caught a light, even breathing sound.

The sun is shining on her butt, and she's still sleeping. What a heartless woman … Xu Qi 'an muttered. He pressed his palm against the door, and with the push of his Qi, the door bolt automatically popped open.

He stepped into the clean and tidy room. The windows were tightly shut, and there were four teacups on the round table. One of them was upright, and there was still some unfinished tea left in the cup.

On the screen facing the door hung a skirt, a blouse, and a pale pink dudou embroidered with plum blossoms.

She must have taken a bath last night, and after that, she slept soundly on the bed. She did not have time to put away her clothes and personal belongings.

This is the original underwear of Daibun's number one beauty. If it was in my era, it would definitely sell for a lot of money on the internet. No, it would be RMB … Xu Qi 'an looked around the room but did not find the Orb of the Earth fragment. Following his connection with the artifact, he found that it was used to pad the table.

I suddenly want to show her what a whip technique is … Xu Qi 'an's heart ached as he put the Orb of the Earth fragment back into his pocket.

This woman did not realize how precious this small jade mirror was. It contained Xu Qi 'an's life savings.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at the woman sleeping sideways on the bed. Her sleeping posture was very quiet, and she had the temperament of a princess.

When she woke up, it was hard to describe.

Time passed, and there were water leaks on the edge of the dressing table. The woman on the bed would sometimes grumble, and sometimes twist her body restlessly. Perhaps she was dreaming about something, and her brows were tightly knitted, and she kicked her feet in resistance.

She did not sleep well.

Time ticked by until it was 9: 00. She finally murmured and slowly opened her eyes.

Then, Xu Qi 'an saw the princess's delicate body stiffen, and then slowly relax. He took a sip of tea and smiled at her. "You're awake?"

Seeing him, the princess's eyes flashed with joy. She sat up and pretended to be casual.

"Why are you back? Heh, you've thought it through, right? The King of Zhenbei is third rank, and no one in Daibun is more powerful than him. It's good that you can avoid harm and seek benefits. "

After a pause, his tone softened. "Let the imperial court handle this matter. There's no need for you to show off."

The princess tossed and turned last night and could not sleep. Of course, it had nothing to do with her worry that Xu Qi 'an would be killed by the King of Zhenbei.

Xu Qi 'an said lightly, "The King of Zhenbei is dead."

The princess was stunned.

"I, I don't believe it …" She stared at Xu Qi 'an.

"This is not something worth joking about," Xu Qi 'an said snappily. "A prince has been killed. Why would I lie to you about such a serious matter?"

Princess Consort looked at him in a daze and said with a trembling voice, "Are … are you serious?"

The princess looked at him in a daze and said in a trembling voice, "Are … are you serious?"

He saw Wang Fei's long eyelashes tremble. A teardrop rolled down her face. Two, three, four … The teardrops were like pearls from a broken necklace.

He saw the princess's long eyelashes tremble. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Two, three, four … Her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace.

She cried for freedom. "Xu Qi 'an thought that he was not that close to her, so he watched the first beauty of Daibun cry.

When she was done crying, Xu Qi 'an consoled her. "You're free. The nine provinces are big. You can go wherever you want, just like Mondo."

She sobbed and wiped her tears, not forgetting to ask, "Who is Mondo?"

Xu Qi 'an could not be bothered to answer such a boring question.

During breakfast, the princess, who had recovered from her emotional state, said sneakily in the room where there were only two people, "Did you kill him?"

Xu Qi 'an shook his head. "The King of Zhenbei is so powerful. How could I defeat him? It's because a mysterious expert appeared and killed him on the spot. Everyone in the envoy group can testify to this. You'll know in the future. "

"Oh," the princess replied. She also felt that it was not possible for Xu Qi 'an to do it. She was a smart and rational woman, not like those ignorant girls in the capital who blindly worshiped Xu Yinluo.

Although the King of Zhenbei was arrogant and ruthless, his cultivation base was not compromised. He was much more powerful than the current Xu Qi 'an.

She held the scallion pancake and ate it. Her hands were oily, and her bright eyes lingered on Xu Qi 'an's head. "How did you grow your hair back?"

"I have hair to begin with."

"You don't."

"I do."

"You …"

The princess was knocked by Xu Qi 'an with chopsticks. She changed her words. "You do."

Thanks to the power of Shen Shu, Xu Qi 'an's hair finally grew back. A Rank-3 Warrior could regrow limbs, let alone hair.

This was something that made Xu Qi 'an very happy. He was even more happy that he had always protected his bald head well. He wore the mink hat, so others did not know about the growth of his hair.

In the future, he would still wear the mink hat outside. After a while, he could take it off … 'I'm still that long-haired young man.' Xu Qi 'an thought happily.

After breakfast, he sat in front of the dressing table. In the mirror, Xu Qi 'an had returned to his original appearance. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, and strong cheeks. Overall, he exuded the beauty of a handsome and masculine man.

Compared to Xu Erlang, who had red lips and white teeth, and Nangong Qianrou, who had picturesque eyebrows, he was a completely different type of handsome guy.

The princess sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her feet. She looked at his hair and asked, "What should I do in the future?"

Xu Qi 'an tied up his hair and said in an indifferent tone, "I said you can go wherever you want."

Sensing that Xu Qi 'an did not want to care about her, she said angrily, "Lend me another ten taels of silver. I want to go back to the Mu family in Jiangnan. When I have money in the future, I will ask someone to return the silver to you."

"Pa!"

Xu Qi 'an put an ingot of silver on the table.

He was so straightforward … The princess bit her lip and put away the silver with a straight face. Then she silently packed a few dirty underwear, carried the small package on her shoulder, and announced,

"I'm leaving."

"Go!" Xu Qi 'an nodded.

The princess looked at him deeply, turned around suddenly, and ran out of the room.

After running out of the inn, she walked alone out of the city, through the bustling crowd, through the downtown and the long street. The city was not big, and she soon reached the gate.

However, looking at the spacious gate, the princess suddenly became timid. It did not seem to be the way to freedom. The outside world was so dangerous, and people's hearts were so complicated.

When she was thirteen, she was sent to the palace by her family in exchange for a high position and a generous salary.

She lived in the palace for many years, and then was given to the King of Zhenbei by the Yuanjing Emperor, and lived in the Prince's Mansion for twenty years.

She longed to be free and unfettered, but when freedom was at her fingertips, she suddenly understood that she could not survive outside.

She was like a canary in a cage. More than twenty years of luxury had made her lose the ability to fly freely in the sky.

Although she could return to her "mother's home", it was just being sold by her parents again. No, it was very likely that she would be sent back to the palace by her family the next day.

She stood there in a daze. After a long time, she was no longer dazed, but the light in her eyes slowly went out.

The princess lowered her head and looked at her toes. Her shoulders were thin, and her back was thin. She looked like a homeless little girl.

At this time, a man sighed from behind, "Auntie, I thought about it, and I think I should take you with me."

The princess did not turn around in a fit of pique.

Xu Qi 'an walked in front of her, squatted down, and did not speak.

Hearing this, the princess glared at his back. Her lips curled up slightly, and she opened her arms and threw herself on his back.

Out of the city, Xu Qi 'an carried her and ran along the official road. At this time, he missed his beloved filly.

"I'm very troublesome," the princess whispered in his ear.

Her warm breath blew on Xu Qi 'an's earlobe, and he could not help but frown. The earlobe was Xu Qi' an's sensitive area, and only Floating Incense knew this secret.

You do know yourself … Xu Qi 'an asked, "Does the Yuanjing Emperor know you look like this?"

The princess shook her head, "But he knows that I have a magic tool to change my appearance. I sneaked away several times, and he definitely knows. But he has never seen me look like this. "

She thought about it and added, "The guards of the prince's estate have seen me like this."

Xu Qi 'an did not answer, and thought about it.

Although the King of Zhenbei was dead, the princess was still in high demand. The Yuanjing Emperor would definitely not ignore her, even though the entire envoy group thought that the princess had been kidnapped by the barbarians.

But those maids knew that I found them in the end. Of course, they did not know that I defeated the strong barbarian warriors and rescued the princess. But the fact that they survived and returned to the capital smoothly is itself a point of doubt.

Although it cannot be used as evidence that I rescued the princess, as long as there is a point of doubt, the Yuanjing Emperor will definitely send people to investigate. There is no need for surveillance, and the investigation will be done openly.

So the princess cannot follow me back to the estate. But I can keep her outside.

There are three million people in the capital, and it is impossible to search every household. Besides, there is no clue that I brought the princess back to the capital.

The best way is to keep her outside, not too far from the Xu Mansion, but not too close either.

After thinking about the details, Xu Qi 'an nodded in satisfaction. It was a good plan.

Then, he was inevitably at a loss for a moment. Why would I do this for an old auntie?

When did I get poisoned by her?

Xu Qi 'an did not go to the Chu Zhou City. He planned to meet up with Zheng Xinghuai first and bring him to the Chu Zhou City.

Now that the Chu Zhou City was destroyed, he had to clean up the mess as the Chief Minister of the Chu Zhou City. At the same time, he told him that the King of Zhenbei had fallen, and there was no need for him to hide anymore.

On the way, he deliberately asked the Jinlian Taoist priest to block the members of the Heaven & Earth Society, and started a private chat with Li Miaozhen, asking her where she was.

Unsurprisingly, he was scolded by Tenzō Shōnin, and then told her that the King of Zhenbei had fallen.

Xu Qi 'an was "shocked" and said that it was impossible. He fully displayed the qualities of a "shocked" person.

This made Li Miaozhen feel slightly proud, and she was no longer angry at him for standing her up.

Then, Xu Qi 'an asked her to leave the Chu Zhou City and meet up with "Xu Yinluo who was on his way".

At noon, Xu Qi 'an finally arrived at the valley with the princess. After saying goodbye to Zheng Xinghuai that day, he found an inn in the nearby county to settle the princess. The two places were not far from each other.

…

In the cave, there was a bonfire. Li Han and Zhao Jin were roasting pheasants, hares, fresh fish, and other prey.

The tall and skinny Shentu Baili closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

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

"I don't know how Xu Yinluo and the Flying Swallow Heroine are doing. Que Yongxiu and the King of Zhenbei are cruel and vicious. If they find out anything, they might be killed. And if something happens to them, we might be able to track them down. "

Tang Youshen, who came from the military, looked at the entrance of the cave with his sharp eyes, and then retracted his gaze. He hugged his spear and closed his eyes to rest.

Zheng Xinghuai waved his hand and said in a soft but firm voice, "They won't. Even if they find nothing, they won't be targeted by the King of Zhenbei and Que Yongxiu."

The beautiful young woman asked, "Why are you so sure, Lord Zheng?"

Zheng Xinghuai said, "The Flying Swallow Heroine likes to meddle in other people's business. She has such a great reputation and is still safe. She is not a reckless person. As for Xu Yinluo, it might be luck that he solved a big case. But all these incidents are enough to prove his ability. "

Everyone nodded slowly.

Whether it was the Flying Swallow Heroine or Xu Yinluo, they were both dragons and phoenixes that made people feel at ease. They were the kind of people that would make people feel at ease and not have to worry all day long.

At this moment, Shen Tu Baili suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low and urgent voice, "Someone is coming."

Li Han and Zhao Jin instinctively threw away their prey, grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the cave with the others.

A man and a woman came together.

The man was handsome and had an extraordinary aura. It was the Silver Gong, Xu Qi 'an. As for the woman, they ignored her after a glance. Her footsteps were not orderly, and she followed beside Xu Yinluo.

Her appearance was mediocre, and she was slightly out of breath as she walked. She was an ordinary woman.

Minister Zheng, who was behind him, came forward and cupped his hands in greeting, "Xu Yinlou."

The Warrior behind him was surprised. The night before yesterday, Xu Yinluo had vowed to go to Chu Zhou City to investigate the case. Who would have thought that he would return today?

This place was a few hundred miles away from Chu Zhou City. This amount of time was not enough for a round trip.

Xu Qi 'an did not waste time and said directly, "I have received news that the King of Zhenbei has fallen in Chu Zhou City. I am here to bring you there. "

A bolt out of the blue!

Minister Zheng's face suddenly stiffened. His eyes and mouth slowly widened. This made Xu Qi 'an understand that this was the true quality of the Shocking Party.

All the warriors looked at each other silently. They could see the word "disbelief" in each other's eyes.

"Is, is there a mistake in the information we received …"

Minister Zheng took a few steps forward with a complicated expression on his face. On one hand, he hoped that the information was true, but on the other hand, he was sure that Xu Qi 'an had received the wrong information.

Shen Tu Baili and the others did not say anything, but they also thought that the minister's words made sense.

It was absolutely true. I killed the King of Zhenbei with my own hands … Xu Qi 'an smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's true."

Thump thump, thump thump … Minister Zheng could hear his own frantic and intense heartbeat.

"The Flying Swallow Heroine will be here soon. She knows what happened." Xu Qi 'an threw the blame away.

Everyone then returned to the cave and waited in a perturbed mood.

The princess sat obediently next to Xu Qi 'an, nibbling on a chicken leg. The number one beauty of Daibun was trying her best to play the role of an insignificant passerby.

On the way here, she had learned about Zheng Xinghuai's identity from Xu Qi 'an. She knew that his family had died in the massacre of the city.

Although she did not have any feelings for the King of Zhenbei, they were still husband and wife. The princess felt guilty towards Lord Zheng.

An hour later, Li Miaozhen arrived at the valley. She landed on her flying sword and floated down into the valley.

She looked around at the people who were already waiting at the entrance of the cave and nodded slightly. Then, her gaze paused on the average-looking princess.

"Flying Swallow Heroine, Xu Yinluo said that … that the King of Zhenbei had died in the Chu Zhou City?"

Minister Zheng took a few steps forward and stared straight at her.

Li Miaozhen gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, his body is still in the Chu Zhou City."

She then told him about the battle in the Chu Zhou City.

After listening to her, Minister Zheng nodded slowly. His bloodshot eyes swept across the crowd and said in a low voice, "I … I want to be alone for a moment."

He cupped his hands together, turned around and slowly walked back into the cave.

A few seconds later, a heart-wrenching cry came from inside.

Xu Qi 'an heaved a sigh. Then, he heard Li Miaozhen's voice. "Who is she?"

"A person with a hard life. I have something to ask of you. The Bloody Massacre Case has been solved, so you don't have to worry about the aftermath. Can you help me take her back to the capital? Remember, don't attract too much attention. You'd better find a place to stay and wait for me. "

Xu Qi 'an replied telepathically.

Li Miaozhen didn't answer. She looked at the princess for a moment and then said.

"A person with a hard life, so you want to take her back to the capital? This woman seems to be taking good care of her. But since when did you become so desperate? "

Miaozhen, I am not trying to belittle you, but after taking off the bracelet, I can say with confidence that everyone here is trash!

Xu Qi 'an sensed that Li Miaozhen was a little unhappy, so he didn't respond.

Then, he turned around and whispered to the princess, "She is my concubine's family member and can be trusted. You go back to the capital with her and listen to her arrangements."

Hearing that, the princess frowned slightly. It was the first time that she heard that Xu Qi 'an had a concubine. But thinking of his identity and status, as a regular customer of the Musical House, wasn't it normal for him to have a concubine?

"Okay!" She nodded coldly.

…

Three days later, Minister Zheng, who had been traveling day and night without stopping, finally returned to Chuzhou City after more than a month.

The gray-haired Zheng Xinghuai climbed the city wall step by step. He saw that the once prosperous Chuzhou City had been turned into ruins. There were broken walls everywhere, and the earth was devastated.

Half of the northern city wall had collapsed, and the western city gate had also been knocked down.

More than 20,000 soldiers were scattered in the city, busy searching for food, rice noodles, and other food. Although the city was seriously damaged, the materials hidden in the cellars were well preserved, and many materials could be found in the collapsed ruins.

Some soldiers were building houses to serve as temporary barracks, providing temporary shelter for more than 20,000 soldiers.

Some soldiers were repairing the city wall.

Some soldiers were burying the corpses, including those of their comrades, citizens, barbarians, and demons.

These works had been carried out in an orderly manner for three days.

"The history book will definitely record this incident to warn the future generations. At the same time, it will also record the crimes of the King of Zhenbei, so that his name will be infamous for thousands of years."

Censor Liu appeared beside him. The envoy group had already learned from Li Miaozhen that Zheng Xinghuai had escaped from death, and they knew that the Zheng Xinghuai they saw in the city was fake.

It was most likely the work of the third-level wizard, otherwise it was impossible to hide from the fourth-level Yang Yan.

"Will the imperial court really convict the King of Zhenbei?" Minister Zheng whispered.

"Victory is earned," Imperial Censor Liu said word by word.

At this time, Xu Qi 'an, Yang Yan, Arrester Chen, and the others had climbed up the city wall. The chief officer, Xu Yinluo, said in a deep voice, "Next, we will return to the capital to convict the North Zhenbei King and put a final verdict on this case.

"But before that, Minister Zheng would like to toast a few cups of wine to the dead in the city."

Centurion Chen Xiao walked forward with a wine pot in his hand.

Minister Zheng took the wine pot and looked down at the city again. Before he paid his respects, he wanted to take some time to recall the first half of his life.

…

Zheng Xinghuai was born in Zhangzhou, one of the two largest granaries of Daibun. But his family was very poor when he was young, and he relied on his mother to wash clothes and do embroidery for wealthy families.

Young Zheng Xinghuai looked forward to the autumn harvest the most. He could go to other people's fields to pick up wheat ears.

If he picked up a basket of wheat ears, he and his widow mother could eat porridge for three days. He couldn't pick up too much, or he would be beaten up.

After the autumn harvest, winter was the most difficult time. Every winter, his hands and feet were frozen. Her mother, on the other hand, had to wash clothes by the frozen river for a few copper coins even in winter.

Just like that, little by little, the widowed mother helped him save enough money to pay the teacher's tuition, as well as enough money to enter the Guozijian.

Zheng Xinghuai entered the Imperial College at the age of 16 and studied hard for ten years. In the 19th year of Yuanjing, he passed the Imperial College examination and became a second-rank scholar.

He rushed back to his hometown without stopping, wanting to bring joy to his mother. He wanted to take his mother to the capital and settle down there. He wanted to bring glory to the family and make everyone who had once mocked him look at him in a new light.

But what he saw was his mother's short grave.

His widow mother had passed away many years ago. She never told him that the family letter was written for her because she didn't want to affect her son's studies.

Zheng Xinghuai knelt in front of his mother's grave for a day and a night.

Zheng Xinghuai's career was not smooth. Because he was too inflexible and did not want to associate with bad people, he offended the Grand Secretary at that time and was demoted to Chuzhou in the north of the Great Wall as an eighth-ranked county magistrate.

At first, he did not like Chuzhou because the north of the Great Wall was bitter cold and the people were tough. The inflexible him finally understood. He used up all his savings to make connections with acquaintances, hoping to be transferred back to the capital.

Until one year, the barbarian cavalry came to plunder the grassy valley and plundered for dozens of miles.

After that, Zheng Xinghuai was sent to comfort the people and inspect the situation. He walked on the ridge of the fields and looked at the Qing Miao clansmen trampled by the cavalry. He walked on the official road and saw the barbarians devouring the corpses. He walked into the mountains and saw the people who had luckily escaped the disaster. He looked at their poor and weathered faces.

Zheng Xinghuai thought of his mother who had passed away many years ago.

Later on, the Grand Secretary retired. His classmates and friends worked in the court and planned to transfer him back to the capital.

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

He worked so hard and often stayed up all night to deal with government affairs. It was as if this could make up for the debt he owed to his mother.

Eighteen years had passed in the blink of an eye. He had devoted most of his life to Chu Zhou City, but now, he was all alone.

"Fame and fortune are just a piece of paper, but they are nothing but ashes in the dust …" Minister Zheng was overcome with sorrow and tears trickled down his face.

The wine was poured and the dust was stirred up.

…

No one spoke for a long time until Zheng Xinghuai calmed down. The Dali Monastery prime minister cleared his throat and said,

"Que Yongxiu has fled to escape punishment. The King of Zhenbei has been executed, but their crimes have not been announced to the world. Minister Zheng is the main witness, so he must come back to the capital with us. But with the situation in Chuzhou City, we need someone to stay and take charge of the situation in the north … "

Censor Liu frowned and analyzed, "The 380,000 people in Chuzhou City have died tragically. It is easy to deal with the aftermath. We only need to make arrangements for the 20,000 soldiers.

"As for the other prefectures and counties, we can leave them as they are. There is no need for special care. The barbarians and the monsters have been scared out of their wits after the war. They are afraid that the mysterious man will not invade the border in the short term. In fact, he might not do it for many years. "

Zheng Xinghuai thought for a moment and looked at Yang Yan. "A scholar does not command an army. I am good at dealing with government affairs, but I am a layman when it comes to military affairs. Yang Jinluo, you have the highest level of cultivation among all of us, and you have the experience to command an army. You can manage the army and also intimidate the soldiers. "

Yang Yan nodded and said lightly, "Fine."

The boss was actually an upgraded version of Zhu Guangxiao. He was quiet, but he was hardworking and very reliable … Xu Qi 'an did not interrupt from the beginning to the end.

Because what he wanted to say had already been said by these civil officials.

"Oh right." He suddenly remembered something. "Bring the body of the King of Zhenbei back to the capital. He is the main character in this case, so we have to bring him back."

"Of course." Minister Zheng nodded.

They had to bring the body of the King of Zhenbei back to the capital no matter what.

Killing the King of Zhenbei was just the beginning of this case. It was a perfect ending to the case.

Seeing that the discussion was over, Yang Yan looked at Xu Qi'an and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."

"Boss, your serious look and arrogant tone are just like my class teacher in middle school …" Xu Qi'an followed him obediently.

The two walked along the city wall. After a distance, Yang Yan stopped and turned around.

"When the King of Zhenbei sacrificed the people in the city, I saw the souls of the people in the city converge into the ground. There seemed to be a formation underground. But when I dug three feet into the ground, I didn't find anything. "

"Souls converge into the ground? What kind of operation is this? Didn't the King of Zhenbei massacre the city to refine the Blood Pill … "Xu Qi'an's first reaction was:

"Miaozhen, I need you!"

"If there is a blind spot in the knowledge of the soul, look for Li Miaozhen. If Li Miaozhen is not good at it, it doesn't matter. There is still the old Jinlian Taoist priest."

Yang Yan stared at him and asked, "Do you have any clues?"

"The benefits of having a wide network are very obvious. I will continue to carry forward the fish pond in the future. By the way, I haven't given the small sword carved from the butter jade to the army lady …" Xu Qi'an thought in his heart.

He said in a deep voice, "Boss, wait for a moment. I need to go to the toilet."

Yang Yan knew that he had the fragment of the Book of the Earth. Back then, Yang Yan single-handedly killed the Taoist priest Purple Lotus.

Xu Qi'an walked down the city wall and found a secluded corner. He took out the fragment of the Book of the Earth and used the identity of Number Three to send a message: "Jinlian Taoist priest, I have something to discuss with you alone."

The members of the Heaven & Earth Society who read the message in the middle of the night felt very upset.

For some reason, the Taoist nun Li Miaozhen had been asking to block everyone every other day. Now Number Three was doing the same.

A few seconds later, the Jinlian Taoist priest sent a message: "What's up?"

"Three: Where is Miaozhen? Miaozhen can participate in the conversation."

The Jinlian Taoist priest sighed and sent a message: "Miaozhen, you can send the message now."

"Two: Why are you looking for me? If you have something to say, just say it."

"What's wrong? Why is she so angry?" Xu Qi'an sent a message: "You don't seem very happy. What's wrong?"

Li Miaozhen: "Heh, what's wrong with you? She's almost ordering me around like a maid. Those who don't know better would think that she's a princess. That kind of calm and at ease attitude is very infuriating.]

Are you also a great prophet like Zhong Li? Xu Qi'an sent a message to comfort the Holy Maiden: "Don't bother with her. She's used to it."

The princess is a stupid woman. She might not have done it on purpose. She has been a princess for half of her life. She has lived a luxurious life and had maids to serve her. There are many habits in her life that can't be changed easily.

Unless Li Miaozhen is like him, constantly beating the princess.

Li Miaozhen: "If you have something to say, say it. Don't disturb me while I'm meditating."

Obviously, she's still angry. I should comfort her … Xu Qi'an sent a message: "I think you don't have to work so hard.

With the talent of our Flying Swallow Heroine, she only needs to focus part of her energy on cultivation to be able to look down on her peers. "

Li Miaozhen sent a message: "Hmph, I think you're lying to me."

Her mood improved a little.

Xu Qi'an: "What do you think, Jinlian Taoist priest?"

Jinlian Taoist priest: "I think you guys don't respect me at all."

Xu Qi 'an and Li Miaozhen did not dare to continue chatting in the noisy classroom. Xu Qi' an and Li Miaozhen did not dare to continue chatting. Xu Qi 'an changed the subject and sent a letter to explain the situation.

"Here's the thing. When the King of Zhenbei sacrificed the people of Chu Zhou City, Yang Yan saw the souls of the people go into the ground with his own eyes, but he couldn't find any clues after that."

Li Miaozhen replied: "Are there any array remnants?"

Yang Yan didn't say anything, which meant there weren't any … Xu Qi'an replied: "No."

Li Miaozhen didn't say anything.

In the silence, Jinlian Taoist priest sent a message: "According to Miaozhen, the masters of the Earth Sect and the Witchcraft Sect were involved. Heh, they're all Overlords with the power of the Primordial Spirit.

"Well, although the Daoist Sect and the Witchcraft Sect cultivate ghosts, they won't collect that many souls. Unless they want to make a Soul Pill. "

Having an elder at home was like having a treasure. As expected, the Jinlian Taoist priest was very experienced … Xu Qi'an sent a message: "Soul Pill? What is a Soul Pill and what does it do? "

The Jinlian Taoist priest sent a message: "There are many uses, such as strengthening the Primordial Spirit, making pills, making Dharma Treasures, repairing imperfect souls, cultivating Artifact Spirits, etc. Perhaps the Earth Sect's Daoist needed a Soul Core. In addition, the resentment and hostility generated by the massacre of the city is a great tonic for him.]

So, the Earth Sect Master cooperated with the King of Zhenbei for the Soul Pill? Xu Qi 'an nodded in realization.

"Three: If that's the case, will he continue to massacre the city? The Earth Sect Master is a second-grade Daoist. "

Xu Qi'an asked worriedly.

"Nine: Heh, he wouldn't dare because he's only a step away from the Heavenly Tribulation. In his current state, he wouldn't dare to go through the Tribulation. So, you don't have to worry about him slaughtering people, unless he wants to die. "

Xu Qi'an was relieved.

After sending the message, he returned to the city wall.

Yang Yan immediately looked at him.

Xu Qi'an pondered and said, "I just remembered that those souls should have been made into Soul Pills. It's very likely to be the reward for the cooperation between the Earth Sect Master and the King of Zhenbei. "

Is the Soul Pill the "greatest evil" that the Earth Sect Master mentioned? Yang Yan nodded slowly.

He was at the scene at the time. Although he was far away, he heard it clearly.

The next step was to determine the nature of the massacre in Chu Zhou City and make the King of Zhenbei and Que Yongxiu bear the blame they deserved. This would definitely be hindered … Yang Yan said.

"If there's anything, go to Duke Wei and listen to his advice. Don't be reckless anymore, understand?"

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "If Duke Wei thinks this is unacceptable, don't force yourself."

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

…

It was early May, early summer.

A government ship from Chu Zhou City slowly sailed into Jing City and docked at the docks of Jing City.

The members of the diplomatic mission stood on the deck and looked at the bustling crowd at the pier. They were filled with emotions.

When they arrived at Chu Zhou City, it was late spring. When they returned to Jin City, it was already early summer.

What had happened during this period could be bragged about for the rest of their lives.

While the members of the diplomatic group heaved a sigh of relief, their eyes were filled with hope.

They were going to bring a piece of important news to Jin City.
