Chapter 48: Return to the Martial Kingdom

Xu Yan walked for three days, and finally broke out of the Devil's Crying Sand, walked out of the dusty desert area, and arrived at the edge of the oasis.

Looking into the distance, when Xu Yan saw a long-lost green, he couldn't help licking his chapped lips, he didn't eat or drink for a few days and nights, he was hungry and thirsty, and quickened his pace to Luoyan Valley.

Leaving the desert and walking into the mountains and forests, Xu Yan found a shallow clear spring stream with the sound of water, and drank a big sip, and the cool stream water sprinkled on his face was extremely refreshing.

"Who, tell me your name?"

Just as Xu Yan was resting by the spring, a team of scout-dressed sergeants came out of the woods, flashed their weapons and looked at Xu Yan vigilantly.

Xu Yan had already discovered their existence, this group of scouts had cultivated to the highest level of the Inner Rest Realm, and there was no threat to him at all, not to mention that this area was already the boundary of the Martial Kingdom, and judging by their outfits, they should be the defenders of Luoyan Valley.

"Xu Yan, the prince of Wuguo. Xu Yan showed the identity jade plate on his waist.

Several scouts were taken aback, and one of the leaders carefully took the identity jade card, and immediately changed color and said: "It turned out to be a son, and his subordinates have offended." ”

"He who does not know is not guilty. My son was tired, so he brought a horse to send me back to the Wild Goose Valley. Xu Yan waved his hand, after being a proton for so long, he finally returned to his own territory and felt the noble status of the prince.

"Don't lead the horse yet!" the scout led by the leader shouted to his subordinates, and then diligently sent it to Xu Yan, then looked around for a while, and said, "Let's escort Gongzi back." It's just that...... Didn't anyone else come back with Childe?"

The defenders of Luoyan Valley had already passed down the order, and everyone knew that Xu Yan might return in the near future. Being able to meet Xu Yan, these scouts were excited, after all, this is the respect of the prince, in case they are selected as their own guards, then their status will be different.

The scouts confirmed Xu Yan's identity, but what made them wonder why Xu Yan was the only one who appeared, and it stands to reason that there should be attendants and guards.

"I'll talk about it later. Xu Yan was too lazy to explain, and the scout immediately stopped asking more, and respectfully sent him back to Luoyan Valley.

The scout sent someone to spread the news back to Yangu in advance, and when Xu Yan arrived, there were people standing inside and outside the pass, and a white-robed general took the lead in coming out to greet him.

"The last general, Zhang Wenyuan, welcome the return of the son!" The white-robed general was in his thirties, jumped off his horse and saluted Xu Yan with a decent attitude. Xu Yan nodded, and followed Zhang Wenyuan and a team of chariots and horses into Luoyan Valley.

Luoyan Valley is a natural valley, with an area of more than ten miles, in addition to the highlands on both sides as natural barriers, the front and rear exits in and out of the valley are built with high walls. Because it is a border garrison, the facilities in the valley are relatively simple, and the residence arranged by Xu Yan is a domed greenhouse wrapped in animal skins.

Although it looks ordinary on the outside, it is very spacious and bright inside, with all the furniture and the bed covered with a soft long blanket.

"Childe is paying attention to the night's rest first, and then we will leave for the return tomorrow. Zhang Wenyuan arranged for several personal soldiers to accompany him, and he was specially sent by Xu Yan.

After a period of greetings, Zhang Wenyuan frowned and asked: "If it is convenient, can Gongzi write a letter tonight first, detailing the return journey, especially the death of the accompanying escorts, I will send someone to return to the capital overnight, so as to give an explanation to the above." ”

"What you're saying is that I'll send it to you after I've written it. Xu Yan nodded, and said in a somewhat heavy tone.

Including Xiao Dezi and others were killed by Chen Xiangting and others in Cangyun Pass, Xu Yan and Yue'e were caught up by Huang Zu and had nothing to hide, and the two died together. Only Yue'e's instructions before her death were not mentioned in the letter, and Xu Yan found a reason, saying that Yue'e and Huang Zu both fell into the quicksand trap and could not find the corpses.

As for the existence of the Xianfu Key, Xu Yan didn't say a word, pretending to be completely unaware.

"Yue'e stole the key to the Immortal Mansion for a while, I don't know if she will send someone to send a message back to Wuguo in advance. Xu Yan wasn't sure if Yue'e had arranged a backhand, but using this to explain the cause of her death completely cleared up her relationship with the key to the Immortal Mansion.

It's one thing for the people of the Imperial Heavenly Prison to believe it or not, and Xu Yan himself can't show his cowardice first.

Before leaving the desert, Xu Yan buried Yue's identity token and soft sword, and the people of the Imperial Heavenly Prison just wanted to track down the clues, even if they went to the Devil Crying Sand in person, they couldn't find anything.

Xu Yan asked people to fetch a few buckets of spring water, took a cool bath, and began to write letters after a beautiful meal. After writing it, Xu Yan reviewed it several times and determined that there was no problem for the pro-soldier to hand over to Zhang Wenyuan.

After Zhang Wenyuan got the letter, after reading it carefully, he called his confidants with a solemn expression and said: "Send it back quickly, remember! It must be handed over to the Imperial Heavenly Prison by hand, and cannot be handed over to others." ”

After the soldiers left, Zhang Wenyuan showed a suspicious look again, and said to himself: "It's strange, how does the Seventh Prince look like a different person, and his momentum and demeanor are completely different from three years ago." ”

Zhang Wenyuan once sent Xu Yan's predecessor to the Great Xia Kingdom, and he remembered the appearance of this prince very clearly. And now it seems that Xu Yan's spirit is completely different, and even his cultivation can't be seen through, which makes Zhang Wenyuan surprised again and again.

If he wasn't convinced of Xu Yan's appearance, he really didn't dare to be sure of the authenticity of Xu Yan's identity, and he knew that the identity jade plate and the national certificate could also be dropped.

Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, since Xu Yan's identity was undoubted, Zhang Wenyuan couldn't control too many other things, according to the military order, as long as he sent Xu Yan back to China safely, the task would be completed, and he didn't have to worry about anything else.

That night, Xu Yan slept comfortably without cultivation, and the next day he was refreshed, and the fatigue of more than ten consecutive days of running around was swept away.

At noon the next day, Zhang Wenyuan counted 500 cavalry and escorted Xu Yan's chariot to leave Luoyan Valley and return to Wuqing Guo'an City.

Wu annexed more than a dozen surrounding countries, the geographical area is seven or eight times that of the Great Xia Kingdom, from Luoyan Valley to Qing'an City is nearly two thousand miles apart, day and night It takes half a month.

Zhang Wenyuan's attitude towards Xu Yan was decent, and he escorted him all the way, neither being too enthusiastic, nor deliberately making things difficult for Xu Yan.

In this way, Xu Yan is quite satisfied in his heart, at least Zhang Wenyuan should not be the queen's person. If someone from the queen's family came to greet him, it was indispensable to find him some trouble, and Xu Yan was happy to be quiet.

In the gorgeously decorated carriage, Xu Yan held the "Fire Demon Fist" in his hand and watched it with relish. Although he has the Daoyuan Heavenly Book to record all the cheats he has read, Xu Yan is still more accustomed to the feeling of holding a book and reading it.

The grade of "Fire Demon Fist" is two grades higher than that of "Thirteen Palms of the Dragon", one is the fist method and the other is the palm technique, there are many similarities, and the cultivation will not be as big as the span of swordsmanship and marksmanship.

"The Thirteen Palms of the Dragon Wandering Dragon are only first-order lower grades, if it weren't for my cultivation to the level of the Transformation Realm, the power would be really limited. ”

Xu Yan watched "Fire Demon Fist" and felt that it was very suitable for his own cultivation, and the palm technique was similar to the fist technique, and the time consumed by cultivation was greatly reduced.

Xu Yan has seen the power of the moves of "Fire Demon Fist" in Huang Zu, but Huang Zu has only cultivated this skill to Xiaocheng, and there is still a distance from Dacheng, and he has not fully exerted the power of this boxing technique.

"As long as I practice this fist technique to a small level, the power will slightly exceed the thirteen palms of the dragon in the transformation realm, and if I cultivate to the realm of Dacheng, the power will far exceed more than double. ”

With the Daoyuan Heavenly Book in hand, others spent more than ten or twenty years cultivating to the realm of Xiaocheng, and Xu Yan only needed two or three months.

According to the information that Xu Yan has obtained now, even if the first-order supreme exercises are very rare exercises in the immortal martial world, there are very few exercises that surpass the first-order exercises. Therefore, "Fire Demon Fist" can be said to be the highest level of martial arts that Xu Yan can learn in a short period of time, and he will never waste time spending time on it.
