“Why are you so sure, Lord Zheng?” the beautiful young woman asked.
Zheng xinghuai said, “the swordswoman of the flying Swallow has been wandering in the pugilistic world and is a busybody. She’s able to gain such a great reputation and come out safe and sound.” He was definitely not a reckless person. As for Xu yinluo, she might have been lucky to solve a big case. However, all of these are enough to prove his ability.”
Everyone nodded slowly.
No matter if it was the swordswoman of the swallow or Xu yinluo, they were both Dragons and phoenixes among men who made people feel at ease. They were the kind of people who would be at ease and not have to worry all day long when things were handed over to them.
At this moment, Shentu Baili suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low and urgent voice, “”Someone’s coming.”
Li Han and Zhao Jin subconsciously 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 masculine, handsome, and had an extraordinary bearing. He was the silver Gong Xu Qi ‘an. As for the woman, they only took a glance at her and ignored her. She walked without any order and followed Xu yinluo.
Her looks were average, and she was panting slightly as she walked. She was an ordinary woman.
Zheng bu, who was behind him, came forward and cupped his hands. “Xu yinluo,”
The martial artists behind him were surprised. The night before yesterday, Xu yinluo had vowed to go to the Chu Prefecture city to investigate a case. They did not expect her to return today.
This place was hundreds of miles away from the Chu Prefecture city. This amount of time was not enough to make a round trip.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “”l’ve received news that the North vanquishing Prince has fallen in the Chu Prefecture city. I’m here to bring you over.”
A bolt from the blue!
Zheng bu’s face suddenly stiffened, and his eyes and mouth slowly opened wide. Xu Qi ‘an understood that this was the true quality of the shock party. The swordsmen looked at each other in silence and saw the word ‘disbelief’ in each other’s eyes.
“Is … Is there. mistake in the information we received .
Zheng bu took a few steps forward with a complicated expression on his face. He hoped that the news was true, but at the same time, he believed that Xu Qi ‘an had received the wrong news.
Shentu Baili and the others did not speak, but they also felt that what the chief administrator said was reasonable.
It’s true, I killed the North-guarding King with my own hands … Xu Qi ‘an smiled and nodded. that’s right. It’s true.
Bang, bang, bang … Zheng bu could hear his own frantic and intense heartbeat.
“The flying Sparrow swordswoman will be here soon. She knows what happened, ” Xu Qi ‘an threw the pot out.
The group then returned to the cave and waited in a nervous mood.
The Queen sat beside Xu Qi ‘an, nibbling on the chicken leg. The first beauty of Dafeng was trying to play the role of an insignificant passerby.
On the way here, she had learned about Zheng xinghuai’s identity from Xu Qi ‘an and knew that his family had been massacred.
Although she and the northern Prince had no feelings for each other, they were still husband and wife by name, after all, and the princess Consort felt guilty
towards Lord Zheng.
Half an hour later, li Miaozhen arrived at the valley. She landed her flying sword and gently landed in the valley.
She looked around at the people who had been waiting at the entrance of the cave and nodded slightly, then paused on the ordinary-looking wangfei.
“Flying Sparrow, Xu yinluo said … Said … The North vanquishing Prince has fallen in the Chu Prefecture city?”
Zheng bu took a few steps forward and stared at her.
“Yes, his body is still in Chuzhou City,” li Miaozhen gave an affirmative answer.
He immediately gave a simple account of the battle at the Chu Prefecture city.
Zheng bu slowly nodded. His bloodshot eyes swept across the crowd, and he said in a low voice, “”1, I want to be alone for a moment.”
He cupped his hands, turned around, and slowly walked back to the cave.
A few seconds later, a heart-wrenching cry could be heard from inside.
Xu Qi ‘an sighed, and Li Miaozhen’s voice sounded in his ear, ‘”Who is she?” “A person with a hard life. I have something to ask of you. The case of the bloody massacre has already been settled. You don’t have to worry about the aftermath. Can you help me bring her back to the capital? Remember not to show off. It’s best to find an inn to rest in and wait for me to return to the capital. ”
Xu Qi ‘an replied.
Li Miaozhen didn’t answer. After examining the Queen for a moment, she pouted and sent a voice transmission,
“He’s a person with a bitter life, so he has to be brought back to the capital to be settled? This woman seems to be good at giving birth, but when did you become so desperate?”
Miaozhen, I’m not trying to belittle you, but after taking off her bangle, she can confidently say, “Everyone here is trash!
Xu Qi ‘an noticed that li Miaozhen was a little unhappy, so he didn’t respond and just cupped his hands.
He then turned around and whispered to the princess, “”She is the maiden family of my concubine and can be trusted. Follow her back to the capital and listen to her arrangements.”
Hearing this, the Queen frowned slightly. It was the first time she had heard that Xu Qi ‘an had a concubine. However, considering his identity and status, and the fact that he was a frequent visitor to the Imperial Academy, wasn’t it normal to have a concubine? As for li Miaozhen, she knew her.
“En!” She nodded coldly.
Three days later, Zheng bu, who had been traveling day and night without stopping, finally returned to the Chu Prefecture city after more than a month.
The gray-haired Zheng xinghuai climbed up the city wall step by step. He saw that the once prosperous Chuzhou City had already been reduced to ruins. There were broken walls everywhere, and the earth was in shambles.
Half of the northern city wall had collapsed, and the Western City Gate had also been knocked down.
More than 20000 soldiers were scattered in the city, each busy with their own tasks. Some were searching for food such as rice and flour. Although the city was severely damaged, the materials hidden in the cellars were well preserved, and many materials could be found in the collapsed ruins.
Some of the soldiers were building houses to serve as temporary camps to provide temporary shelter for the 20000 soldiers..
