Chapter 728

The operation started with a thunderous start and lasted for only two hours before the stronghold was broken through.

The Leader kneeled on the ground, soaked in blood, and checked out a group of extraordinary soldiers. They were wearing bright armor and had sharp weapons, but they didn't have any government or military insignia.

The army wasn't big, only about 400 people. But the Leader was shocked to find that none of them were weak. Even the weakest was in the Refined Spirit Realm.

There were more than 50 in the Mortal Realm and more than 10 in the Refined Spirit Realm. There were four in the Bronze Skin and Iron Bone Realms.

The Goddess of Battles leading them had an even more unfathomable level of cultivation.

An army like this, even if they were to attack the White Emperor's City, they would be enough to give the biggest city in Yunzhou a hard time, let alone a small stronghold.

No flag, extraordinary fighting ability, and a woman leading them … the Leader's heart dropped as he remembered a rumor from Yunzhou.

"You, you are … the Flying Swallow Heroine?"

"What Flying Swallow Heroine? That sounds awful."

The Goddess of War with the silver spear in her hand frowned. She was extremely beautiful, with delicate features, a small red mouth, and a tall nose that accentuated her three-dimensional features. It was just that her sharpness would cause people to overlook her beauty.

The illusionary Mei stood obediently next to her. She was originally an extremely beautiful ghost, but now she was completely overshadowed by her temperament.

"Master, did I do well?" The Mei asked softly.

"Your message was very timely." The Goddess of Battles nodded and complimented.

"Then can you give me a man?" The Mei asked softly, "I've been hungry for days."

The Yuanjing Emperor will give you a gift. Go suck his energy dry … the Goddess of Battles thought to herself and nodded, "Pick a few bandits."

The Leader was now certain that this Goddess of Battles was the legendary Flying Swallow Heroine.

A few years ago, a chivalrous and courageous heroine suddenly appeared in Jianghu. Wherever this heroine went, justice was supported and justice was upheld.

In just a few years, she became famous in Jianghu and became a hero that everyone knew. Because of her righteousness, she was known as the Flying Swallow Heroine.

At the beginning of this year, this heroine came to Yunzhou. Seeing that Yunzhou was full of bandits and the people were suffering, she recruited soldiers and bought horses. She built a private army and began her tireless journey of killing bandits.

She gained the support of Yunzhou's administrator.

"I ask and you answer. This way, you will die a quick death." The Goddess of Battles pointed her silver spear at the Leader and said coldly, "If not, I will turn you into a ferocious ghost and you will never be able to reincarnate."

The Leader was in a dilemma and bargained, "Don't even think about it!"

"Pu …" The silver spear pierced through the top of the Great Master's skull, and red and white matter flew backward.

The Goddess of Battles put away her spear and mumbled, "I don of you."

“！！！” Zhou Chixiong was so scared that his legs went soft. He thought to himself, "You can't do this. Can't you see that I'm bargaining? At least give me a chance."

The Warrior was used.

The martial artists on the side seemed to be used to the Goddess of Battles' style of doing things. They were all laughing and watching the show.

At this moment, Zhou Leader felt the Goddess of Battles glancing at him emotionlessly. He prostrated himself on the ground, "Have mercy. I will tell you everything. I will tell you everything."

"I won't kill you." The Goddess of Battles stood proudly. Her tight-fitting armor accentuated her exquisite curves. Her beauty exuded a murderous vibe.

"I am going to send you to see someone."

…

Xu Qi'an had just finished his breathing exercise. He was too depressed to sleep. He heard the sound of water dripping and felt a familiar palpitation.

His heart skipped a beat. He sat up and took out the jade mirror from under his pillow. Sure enough, he saw what he wanted to see.

[Two: Number Three, Zhou Chixiong has been captured. I will send someone to send him to the capital tomorrow.]

Zhou Chixiong was captured? This efficiency is too scary … Number Two is like my white moonlight, I love it … Xu Qi 'an's mood could not be described as wild with joy, he was so happy that he almost burst into tears.

Becoming a spy for Wei Yuan was the worst option. Xu Qi'an didn't want to take this path. He was only in the Mortal Realm and didn't feel confident enough. Staying in the capital and staying in the government office, whether it was resources or living environment, was much better than wandering the world.

If he could live a peaceful and happy life, who would want to be a vagabond?

He lacked a sense of belonging in this world. If he left Second Uncle, Aunt, and Sister Erlang, he would be too lonely.

[Three: Can you reach the capital in six days?]

Yunzhou was very far from the capital. Even though the imperial court had established courier routes, six days was still too much.

[Two: If you ride on the Fire Feathered Beast, six days is just right. But you have to pay me 300 taels of silver. I can't let my brother make this trip for nothing. You have to pay for the expenses.]

[Three: This is what I should do.]

With that, Xu Qi'an fell into deep thought. Zhou Chixiong definitely couldn't be sent directly to the capital. The water in the capital was too deep. Once Zhou Chixiong entered the capital, he would definitely be discovered. After all, he was now wanted by the imperial court and listed as a top criminal.

There were two choices. Either inform Wei Yuan in advance, or find another way to let Zhou Chixiong enter the capital … After thinking about it, Xu Qi'an chose the latter.

Because he had a better idea.

[Three: Number Two, please send Zhou Chixiong to the Yunlu Academy. Someone will take over.]

Zhou Chixiong was involved with the big shots in the imperial court. He had to prevent them from doing something desperate. The government office was full of Warriors, so it wasn't fancy enough.

The great scholars of the Yunlu Academy had the ability to teleport, so they were the best candidates to escort the prisoner. They only needed to say, "Within three feet of me is the capital."

Then they would go to the capital.

Most of them couldn't enter the palace. Otherwise, it would be too easy for the great scholars to cut off the head of the Yuanjing Emperor.

"Tomorrow I will go to the Yunlu Academy and visit my three teachers …" Xu Qi'an secretly decided.

Regarding the request of Number Three, including Number Two, the members of the Heaven & Earth Society who were watching the screen were not surprised at all. After all, Number Three was a student of the Yunlu Academy.

…

Time passed day by day. During this time, Xu Qi'an ran around and met with Princess Huaiqing and Princess Shanjian, hoping that they could plead for him.

Shanjian, who only knew how to make trouble with her sister all day long, was actually not scheming. She put on the airs of a princess and readily agreed.

Princess Huaiqing was more rational and objective. She said bluntly, "Father doesn't seem to like you. I can save you from the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment.

The punishment was, of course, exile. "

Xu Qi'an noticed a detail. Princess Huaiqing showed an unreasonable indifference to the Sampo Case. She was also very calm about the fate that was about to befall him, as if she didn't care at all.

The day before the deadline, Wei Yuan sent someone to summon Xu Qi'an. He met the Great Green Dress in Haoqi Building.

"I just received news from the palace. His Majesty will have an early morning court session tomorrow. It is inevitable that the Sampo Case will be mentioned. I will try to keep you in the yamen instead of the prefectural court or the Ministry of Justice, "Wei Yuan said.

He was just about to say something to comfort the little gong that he valued, but he heard the other say calmly,

"Duke Wei, I have caught Zhou Chixiong."

Wei Yuan's expression froze. He looked at him without saying a word.

…

At noon that day, Xu Qi'an drove the carriage into the Imperial City and stopped outside the palace. He was accompanied by the Celestial Commissioner Song Qing and Chu Caiwei, the great scholar Zhang Shen of the Yunlu Academy, Jiang Lüzhong and Yang Yan of Jinluo.

In the carriage was the unconscious Baihu of the Jin Wu Guards, Zhou Chixiong. He was tied up and had a sack over his head.

Arriving here, Xu Qi'an felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He cupped his fists towards his helpers and said, "Thank you, everyone. The Sampo Case will end today."

He wanted to put an end to the Sampo Case. He wanted to put an end to the conflict between the knife and the silver gong.

In the Throne Room.

After the normal report, the Yuanjing Emperor said, "Is there any progress on the Sampo Case?"

In the imperial court, all the ministers looked at Wei Yuan in unison. Their expressions were different, but most of them were gloating.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter clearly. I hope that Duke Wei will give me justice."

Wei Yuan glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Rites who jumped out to stir up trouble. His gaze turned to the Yuanjing Emperor. He stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the truth of the Sampo Case has come to light."

The sound of discussion rose in an instant.

The Yuanjing Emperor was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and leaned forward slightly. "Who is the instigator?"

Wei Yuan said, "It's meaningless for me to say it. Your Majesty, you can summon the former Baihu of the Jin Wu Guards, Zhou Chixiong."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Zhou Chixiong has already fled the capital. How can I summon him?"

Wei Yuan stared at him with a faint smile and said in a clear voice, "Zhou Chixiong is outside the palace. Please summon him, Your Majesty."

In an instant, the imperial court was silent.
