The next morning.

King Qing and King Jing's army set out.

Outside the city of Guyuan, the yellow sandy land that was once **** rivers and corpses everywhere is now clean.

A few green grasses stubbornly emerged from the loess that had been stepped on.

At the gate of the city, Qin Yuan said goodbye to King Qing, King Jing, Cheng Zhongyuan, Xu Fengling and others.

"Brother Qin, are you really not going with us?" King Qing asked.

Qin Yuan smiled bitterly, "I still have something to do, so I can't leave for the time being. But I should be back in Beijing soon."

A hint of suspicion flashed in King Qing's eyes, but he nodded quickly and said, "Well, I'll be waiting for you in Beijing!"

King Jing smiled and hammered Qin Yuan's chest, and said, "Sir, you have to take care! When you return to Beijing, this king will be drunk with you for three days and drink the best wine, called the most beautiful."

Before finishing speaking, Su Ruoyi and Xiao Yao glanced over with cold eyes.

King Jing quickly changed his words, "Anyway, let's have a good meal at that time, hahaha."

At this time, Zhong Jinyuan also came up and said, "Brother Xian, do you want eldest brother to stay with you? It's okay for eldest brother to be late for a day or two."

Qin Yuan cupped his hands at him and said, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, I'm not staying here to fight and kill.

Zhong Zaicheng came over and said, "The rectification of the Holy Society is a major event, and there are bound to be many people who have resentment in the meeting. You have to pay attention to the pressure and get rid of the hostility of this meeting. It is the first priority for the benefit of the country and the people. event!"

Qin Yuan smiled, "Don't worry, uncle, I know what I know."

After a while, everyone walked away.

Qin Yuan said to Xiao Yao and Su Ruoyi beside him, "We should go too. This trip to Huai'an County may be the one that determines our future destiny. Of course, we may go and we won't be able to come back. ."

The little demon giggled, "Since it's so dangerous, why don't you go?"

"I can't sleep if I don't go." Qin Yuan smiled.

"Hey, why is Sister Zhong not seen?" At this time, Su Ruoyi asked curiously, "She doesn't come with us, so should she come to say goodbye?"

The little demon looked at Qin Yuan, "Then you have to ask him. Last night they went to the barren mountains and wild mountains. What happened?"

"Yeah, don't take us with you, it's mysterious." Su Ruoyi asked with a little dissatisfaction, "What did you do?"

Qin Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Didn't you say it, let's go to practice! Her cultivation base is the lowest now, I'll help her improve it."

After drinking at the city defense yamen last night, Qin Yuan really took Zhong Jinyi to fly hundreds of miles away, found a place with beautiful scenery and practiced Shuanghe Dao.

By the way, she also let her try on the newly bought close-fitting clothes.

The tailoring of the small clothes is very elegant. They are short and tight. They can only wrap around certain protrusions, and they are translucent. According to the owner, this style came out of the palace back then. .

Due to the social atmosphere, the shops that usually sell this kind of clothes are open in the corners, and they are secretive. Qin Yuan doesn't know how he accidentally found them. After all, he was just wandering around the city at that time. Just been around for two hours

So last night's practice was very complete.

It can be said that the incomparably exquisite double-hearted way has made Zhong Jinyi reborn, and his combat power has risen to several levels.

However, because the two people's cultivation bases are too different, they still can't be equal.

Zhong Jinyi is now a second-rank middle rank, and the immortal breath has also reached the peak of the Qi Pond Realm. Although it is still not as high as Qin Yuan, its comprehensive strength has surpassed that of Zhong Jinyuan and even Zhong Zaicheng.

It's just a quick fix, isn't it?

If it weren't for Zhong Jinyuan's inability to practice Shuanghe Dao, Qin Yuan would even want to bring him up.

In addition to the significant improvement in cultivation, another sign of success is that Qin Yuan has become a skin shrimp again.

The two didn't come back until dawn.

However, on the way back, something unpleasant happened.

"I told her to let her go back first. This trip to Huaian County is not suitable for her." Qin Yuan said.

If Lao Jia is the emperor, then bringing Zhong Jinyi over is purely to make her suffer, of course Qin Yuan can't bear it.

However, just as his voice fell, he saw a sword coming from the sky.

The man on the sword has a face like a peach blossom, as cold as an autumn lake, a figure full of beauty, and a charming city.

Who is it if it's not Zhong Jinyi?

"Huai'an County, they can go, why can't I go?" She said lightly, "I have to go before you make it clear."

Su Ruoyi said happily, "Sister Zhong, let's go together! It's more lively with more people."

Zhong Jinyi nodded at her, "Excellent."

Qin Yuan shook his head helplessly, knowing that Zhong Jinyi had made up his mind, and it was impossible to change it no matter what.

So he said, "Okay, let's go together. But I'll tell you first, if you feel embarrassed at that time, you can come back."

"Why is it difficult?"

"Don't ask, I hope not"

The four set off, and Yujian flew directly to Huaian County.

In the car, four people sat in groups.

Qin Yuan originally wanted to have one for his left hand and one for his right, but now there are three, which is inconvenient.

None of the ones you left out are appropriate, right?

Is this what is called "too much"?

Since you can't move your mind, let's talk about it.

So he said, "Actually, this trip to Huaian County was under the secret order of Jiannu. He asked me to go there after the army was drawn out. Since Jiannu will let me go, it means that Huai'an County must be hiding a lot of money. secret."

After listening to the little demon, he suddenly smiled and said, "This is strange. First of all, the emperor suddenly withdrew his army. It seemed that he didn't want the army to see the situation in the southernmost part of Longxi. And Jiannu quietly sent you there. Could it be that Jiannu and Does the emperor have his own mind?"

"I'll wipe," Qin Yuan's brows furrowed sharply, "This idea is so strange, why didn't I think of it?"

Indeed, what he had always thought before was that it was impossible for Jiannu to share a different dream with the emperor, but now that he thinks about it, why is it impossible?

At this time, Zhong Jinyi said, "The sword slave or the sword temple has always been the barrier of imperial power. The sword slave will always only carry out the emperor's orders from the sage, and will never make his own decisions or even oppose the sage."

"But, people can change." Su Ruoyi said.

Zhong Jinyi smiled lightly, "Jiannu, strictly speaking, is not a human being. He is already a detached existence."

Qin Yi sighed, "Anyway, when you go to Huai'an County, you'll know what's going on."

The journey is not far, less than half an hour, Huaian County is about to arrive.

It's still the old rule, Qin Yi took his three wives to the sword when he was more than ten miles away from the county seat.

Along the official road, walk forward unhurriedly.

But the strange thing is that there is no one on the official road.

The further you go, the weirder the atmosphere becomes.

Not long after, the three came to the north of Huaian County, the gate of the city.

What's even more bizarre is that the gate of the city is actually empty, not even a **** guarding the gate.

The city gate is tightly closed, and the red lacquer mottled door panel looks very vicissitudes of life, and it also adds a bit of weirdness.

"Something's wrong!" Zhong Jinyi said, "There is no trace of anger in the place where the breath can be sensed!"

Su Ruoyi said, "Wouldn't it be a demon robbery?"

It has happened before, when the big demon led a group of small demons into the city, and there was a massacre in which none of the residents of the city were spared.

However, Su Ruoyi shook her head and denied, "No, there is no demonic aura here!"

Qin Yuan said, "Everyone, be careful, don't go away."

After that, he sent Ah Da to open the city gate.

Ah Da swayed and flew over, raised his hand and pushed the city gate.

Just listening to the sound of "Boom", this thick and huge city gate turned into pieces and piled on the ground!

A Da was stunned, floating in the air for a long time without moving.

Qin Yuan, Xiao Yao, Su Ruoyi, and Zhong Jinyi were naturally stunned.

After thinking about it, Qin Yuan said to Ah Da, "You turn into me and go into the city to have a look."

Without saying a word, Ah Da Er immediately transformed into Qin Yuan's appearance and ran into the city quickly.

With Ada's consciousness, Qin Yuan sensed that there was nothing unusual in the city.

On the street, countless shops are open, and the goods in the shops are dazzling, and there is not even a trace of dust.

There are also various stalls on both sides of the road, all lined up neatly, and the things they sell are all intact.

There was even a food stall where the fire was still burning under the oil pan, and the oil in the pan was still tumbling.

However, there was no one there!

It was as if these people had just disappeared en masse just a second before their arrival!

Qin Yuan couldn't help feeling creepy.

what on earth is it?

However, since Ah Da did not sense any abnormality, Qin Yuan cautiously walked into the city.

Entering the city gate, in a dead silence, I passed through several streets.

Also try to walk into some shops and even houses.

But still no one was found.

In those rooms, all were neat and clean, and there was no sign of a fight.

"Did the people here evaporate in an instant? How could this be?" Su Ruoyi said incredulously.

No one can answer this question.

Even the little demon was silent. Obviously, it was the first time she had encountered such a thing after 1700 years.

The four cautiously continued to move forward, and unknowingly came to the yamen in the center of the city.

At this time, Su Ruoyi suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, "There is someone!"

Qin Yuan, Xiao Yao, and Zhong Jinyi looked in the direction she pointed, and they found a person lying in the courtyard inside the yamen!

He was face down, his hands and feet stretched out in a figure-eight shape, as if he was lying on the ground.

"Da, go take a look."

A-Da, who had already turned into a paper figurine, immediately flew over to take a look, and said, "It looks like he's dead."

Qin Yuan frowned and said again, "Turn him over and take a look."

It doesn't matter this time, after turning it over, he suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

It's Ding Cheng!

Ding Cheng, the swordsman of the Sword Temple!

"Why is he here?" Qin Yuan murmured.

It stands to reason that after passing the secret letter of Jiannu and escorting the imperial decree, he should return to his life the next day.

But he actually appeared here and was killed.

After Ah Da confirmed that there was no danger, Xiao Yao, Su Ruoyi, and Zhong Jinyi also ran over.

All three of them knew Ding Cheng. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Su Ruoyi and Zhong Jinyi knew Ding Cheng because of their errands, and the little demon saw Ding Cheng go to Qin Yuan that day, and she never forgot it.

"Why did the people of the Sword Temple die here?" The little demon frowned, "Is it possible that this matter has something to do with the Sword Temple?"

Qin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Mixin only asked me to come here at that time, but did not say where it was and what to do. Is there a possibility that Ding Cheng wanted to come to meet me, but was killed? "

Zhong Jinyi pondered for a while and said, "When the secret letter was in your hands, was it opened?"

Qin Yuan shook his head, "No."

"According to the rules, Ding Cheng should not know the content of the letter," Zhong Jinyi analyzed, "Also, if Ding Cheng knew what Jiannu wanted you to do, wouldn't it be safer and safer to send the letter directly to you? Confidentiality? Why bother?"

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I don't recognize Jiannu's handwriting. The reason why I believe it is a secret letter from Jiannu is because it was brought by Ding Cheng. So Ding Cheng gave me a verbal letter, and I still believe it, Jiannu There's no need to do more than that."

Xiao Yao said, "In this case, there is only one possibility. That is, when Ding Cheng wanted to go back, he was ordered by another person to come here."

"emperor?"

Qin Yuan and Zhong Jinyi said in unison.

Besides the emperor, who else could command Ding Cheng?

"Anyway, since he's here, let's just wait!" Qin Yuan said, "Let's see if he is a human or a ghost!"

So the four of them sat in the shade of the tree at the entrance of the yamen and waited quietly.

However, after waiting for a full day, no one was seen.

Until the night begins to fall!
