178 The goddess of war (1)
Noble Qi building, seventh floor.
There was no one else in the tea room except Wei Yuan. Xu Qi ‘an walked in with steady steps and cupped his fists.
“Duke Wei.”
Wei Yuan had just poured a cup of tea and ced it opposite him. He raised his hand and said, “”Sit.”
Xu Qi ‘an sat down cautiously and took a sip of water. He looked at Wei Yuan. He had a feeling that Wei Yuan was looking for him to talk about the case of Princess Ping Yang.
the case of Princess Ping Yang has ended, but the Sang Bo case has to continue. His Majesty has rejected my proposal. Wei Yuan sipped his tea and told Xu Qi ‘an what had happened in the Royal study as if he was having a casual chat.
Xu Qi ‘an’s face was gloomy. Minister sun of the Ministry of Justice is old friends with the Vice Minister of Revenue, Zhou Xianping. He has hated me since the beginning ...
Wei Yuan waved his hand and interrupted him, “”These are all trivial matters!”
He said in a somewhat resentful tone, “”The fact that His Majesty doesn’t like you is a big deal.”
Xu Qi ‘an’s face darkened.
What a coincidence, I don’t like him either. When I first saw Emperor Yuan jing in a Daoist robe during the ancestral worship, I felt a slight disgust in my heart.
At that time, he felt that it was because Emperor Yuan jing represented the feudal imperial power. After the Spirit Dragon incident and having close contact with him, he realized that his dislike for Emperor Yuan jing was very pure. There was no other reason. It was a hatred that came from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe it’s because my birth characters and the old Emperor’s birth characters are in conflict ... I’m Ennea monkey and he’s Weiyang? Xu Qi ‘an smiled bitterly.
“I don’t know how your Majesty disdains me.”
“Maybe it’s because I didn’t have the affinity to meet him.” Wei Yuan rubbed his brows. just wait. There’s no need to investigate further. By now, all the clues have been erased. You won’t be able to find anything. Once the time limit is up, if His Majesty insists on beheading you, I will arrange for a death row convict to rece you.
heh, don’t worry. No one will pay special attention to your identity as a small copper Gong.
‘And then I naturally became your ...’ His subordinates. “What if we can catch Zhou chixiong?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“This matter is settled,” Wei Yuanughed.
He shook his head andughed.
After leaving the noble spirit building, Xu Qi ‘an returned to the hall of spring breeze and told song tingfeng, Zhu guangxiao, and Li Yuchun about the matter.
Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao’s expressions suddenly stiffened. The former mmed the table and cursed, pacing around in the hall impatiently, while thetter’s brows were tightly furrowed, feeling even more bitter and hateful.
you’ve wasted too much time on the princess Ping Yang case, ” Li Yuchun muttered. it’ll be difficult for you to investigate the Sang Bo case again. The Directorate of Celestials ‘Qi observation technique can’t use officials of fourth-rank and above. Unless you can get a supervisor to help you.”
Looking for a supervisor? Not to mention whether the supervisor was willing to help, even if he was willing, would Emperor Yuan jing believe him? Xu Qisan said in peace,”I’m not going to look for that old man.”
.....
Stargazing tower.
“Sister Caiwei, I have something to see the supervisor about. Do you have any way to bring me up to the eight trigrams stage?” Xu Qi ‘an was carrying bags of food in his hands, and his smile was like that of a dog in his previous life.
Yan Caiwei ate the food offered by Xu Qi ‘an without any hesitation, but she said, no, master is in seclusion. He has already blocked the eight trigrams stage’s passage. No one can go up.
She looked like a goddess who was using spare tires.
“Is there no other way?”
“I have no choice.”
“When will our mastere out of seclusion?”
Yan Caiwei nced at him and thought to herself, what is our master?
“At most a few months, at least half a month. He’s probably on the eight trigrams tform to calcte the stars,” she said.
.... Xu Qi ‘an vomited blood. This was karma. He had been ying around for nothing all day, and finally, one day, he had made someone else y around for nothing.
No, I can’t lose out like this ... He ced all the food he had bought with two taels of silver on the table and said, “”My younger sister has menstruation and her abdominal pain is unbearable. How do you solve it?”
Hearing this, Yan Caiwei twisted her waist and ran away. After a while, she returned with a porcin bottle. take one when you’re in pain. It’ll take effect immediately.
Although this youngdy was a glutton, she was very generous. Regardless of whether the medicinal pills were expensive or not, she was willing to give them away.
....
Yunzhou.
In the vast mountain range, arge vige was built against the mountain, and the continuous lights were lit in the dark night.
The stronghold was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It had the geographical advantage. When the stronghold was first built, the government would send troops to encircle and suppress it. After several failures, they turned a blind eye.
Yunzhou was gued by bandits, and there were countless Raider and mountain bandits who robbed houses. The people had been suffering for a long time, and the government had been having a headache for decades.
It had been decades, and he had slowly gotten used to it. The chaotds had their own way of living.
As night fell, the mountain wind continued to blow. Suddenly, lightning shed and Thunder rumbled, and it began to rain heavily.
On the arrow tower, the mountain bandits in charge of standing guard endured the cold rain that came in diagonally and looked in the direction of the stronghold with envy.
Today, the vige had done something big again. They had captured a caravan, silk, tea leaves, porcin ... There were many valuable items.
This was all because of the new sixth leader of the vige. He was skilled in martial arts and was proficient in joint attacks.
It was said that he had a military background and used to work in the capital of Dafeng. Later, because he couldn’t stand the fatuity and corruption of the court, he decided to be a Bandit.
At this moment, the vige was having a celebration party.
In the room where the charcoal fire was burning, the six leaders and some small chieftains were eating and drinking, talking vulgar dirty words and holdingrge bowls high.
Half-naked women were serving him, forcing smiles on their faces. They were all captured women. Some were ordinary women, and some were even the daughters of rich families.
Those with good looks were picked out to serve the leaders and the small Chiefs, while those with average looks were shared with the other brothers in the vige.
Zhou chixiong sat in front of the table, his back straight out of habit, his bearing ipatible with the lecherous mountain bandits. There was a delicate and Pretty Woman waiting on him, but Zhou chixiong didn’t even bother to look at her.
...
He was not even interested in touching such an ordinary woman.
Zhou chixiong had brought his entire family to Yunzhou. His wife and son were not in the vige, but in thergest city in Yunzhou, the White Emperor City.
It was one of the few blessednds in Yunzhou, and there was no need to worry about bandits and thieves.
The great master had a full beard and looked rough, but he was actually a very meticulous expert at the peak of the spirit forging stage.
“Junior Brother Zhou, is it because the women here are not to your liking?”
Without waiting for Zhou chixiong’s reply, the leaderughed,”I heard that there’s a beautiful woman in the caravan who’s locked up in the woodshed?”
“Yes, chief, that woman is really pretty.”
“Chief,pared to her, the women in the vige are simply ... It’s the difference between mud and white sugar.”
The image of that devastatingly beautiful woman appeared in his mind, and Zhou chixiong’s heart began to burn. He was the one who robbed her, so he knew best what she looked like. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had just arrived, the woman would have already been taken into his room.
The great master thought for a moment and thenughed, “”Men, bring that woman up. Tonight, she will be at sixth head’s disposal. He was the one who robbed her, so he should be the first to have a taste of her.”
The rest of the heads didn’t have any objections. It didn’t matter who started first, they would be able to taste it sooner orter anyway.
...
After a moment, a woman was brought up. She was wearing a long white dress, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were big and bright, and her facial features were wless.
She was a little scared, as timid as a little deer in the forest.
The surroundings fell silent. Everyone was mesmerized by her beauty and looked at her in a daze.
“Gulp gulp gulp ...” The sound of his Adam’s apple bobbed.
The woman seemed to already know her fate. She bit her lips and said timidly, “”I, who do I serve?”
Zhou chixiong swallowed his saliva and felt that the other party was a feast for the eyes. He strode over and dragged her to the table.
Zhou chixiong pulled the beautiful woman into his arms and fondled and gnawed at her hungrily. The surrounding mountain bandits looked on with jealousy, wishing they could take her ce.
“Are you Zhou chixiong?” The woman’s gentle voice rang in his ears.
She knows my name ... Zhou chixiong’s heart trembled, and his desire disappeared. At the same time, he found that the beauty in his arms was gradually turning pale and losing her vitality.
Suddenly, it turned into a paper man as tall as a human.
“Giggle ...”
The woman’s sharpughter echoed in the room, making people’s hair stand on end.
ng ... The strong wind blew in from the window and extinguished the candlelight in the room.
In the darkness, the sound of des being drawn rang out continuously. The great master shouted, “”What demon are you, acting like a ghost?”
The woman’s sharpughter stopped, but a few secondster, everyone in the vige heard a shrill scream that echoed in the mountains and the night sky.
“It’s Mei,” Zhou chixiong said in a deep voice. He had a bad premonition.
Mei ” was also known as a ” sexy ghost “. They had almost nobat power and were good at using their beauty to attract others and suck the soul essence of those who were hooked.
Although martial artists weren’t good at dealing with ghosts, if they roused their qi and blood, they could be impervious to hundreds of ghosts. What Zhou chixiong really cared about was the master behind the Mei.
Zhou chixiong had a vague feeling that the other party wasing for him.
At this moment, the sound of drums reverberated through the entire vige. The shouts of the mountain bandits could be heard from outside, “”Enemy attack, enemy attack ...”
The leaders of the vige held their weapons and rushed out of their houses. They looked out in the heavy rain, but the night, rain, and forest blocked their vision.
A sharp whistling sound came from the air. It was an arrow.
Mountain bandits fell to the ground one after another, and screams of pain rose and fell.
the leader cracked the arrow and let out a sigh of relief. The arrow was not strong and as long as one was not unlucky enough to be hit, even if they were hit, they would not lose their fighting strength.
“Prepare the Rolling Stones and the tung oil ...”
The stronghold had a geographical advantage. These two things were defensive magic weapons. When the stronghold was first built, they used these things to resist the siege of the government and survive the most difficult period.
As soon as the head’s voice fell, a silver light streaked across the night sky. It was not the light of lightning, but the light of a long spear.
BOOM!
The lightning struck at the right time, and the mountain bandits below could clearly see a figure standing on the silver spear.
She was wearing a scaly armor and a bright red cloak. She didn’t wear a helmet, and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She was valiant and valiant, like a stern goddess of war.
The goddess of battles conjured a spell and summoned heavenly lightning. BOOM! When the lightning struck, she reached out and caught the finger, then threw it with all her might.
The two arrow towers in front of the vige copsed.
Dao sect’s Imperial lightning technique?
Zhou chixiong’s heart turned cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cer.
