Chapter 41: Seeking Change, Cold Lingyu

South of Cold Spirit City,

A middle-aged man wearing pitch-black armor and holding a bright 'Red Blood Golden Lion Knife' was riding a war horse, leading more than a thousand soldiers to slowly march towards Cold Spirit City...

Take a closer look, the man has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a body of horizontal flesh, dark and shiny skin, a resolute face, and the strength of the 'Tomahawk-level late eightfold' is fully revealed. This person is General Xiahou Feng, who is responsible for guarding the border of Cold Spirit City.

"Come, bring water!" Xiahou Feng shouted with a dark face.

Hearing the summons, an entourage soldier galloped out of the group, came to the general's horse, and respectfully handed over the kettle.

"Goo-goo-goo... Cool!" Xiahou Feng snatched the kettle, poured it down suddenly, and let out a loud sigh.

"This damn bird weather, if it weren't for the military salary, General Ben really wouldn't want to run this trip himself... In other words, the city lord has been back for almost two months, and as soon as he returned, he issued an order to 'close the death pass' and hand over all government affairs to the wolf soldier's rabbit cub. That kid and the general have always been at odds, and Lord Han didn't know it, but as soon as the rabbit cub came up, he dared to cut off the general's salary, and this account book must be calculated with him!"

"Pass the order, the whole army will advance at full speed!" Suppressing the anger in his belly, General Xiahou Feng ordered loudly.

Following...

Xiahou Feng, who had been driving the mountain road all night, finally arrived outside the gate of Hanling City, but was stopped by the soldiers defending the city.

"Get out of here, don't you see that it's the general? You dare to block the way of the general, are you impatient?" was unexpectedly blocked before entering the city, and Xiahou angrily reprimanded.

General Wolf has an order: only one person is allowed to enter the city, and the rest of the soldiers are not allowed to enter. If the small ones don't follow the rules, I'm afraid the small ones won't be able to protect their heads..."In front of the city gate, the defenders of the city pleaded with their faces trembling.

"What is he wolf guards! Hearing that it was the wolf guard who ordered it again, Xiahou Feng shouted loudly.

"This is also an order from the city lord, and I also ask General Xiahou to abide by this order. Seeing that Xiahou Feng was unscrupulous, the head of the city defenders hurriedly added.

"What? Isn't the city lord in a dead lock-up? When did he give the order?" Hearing the city lord's order, Xiahou Feng suppressed the fire in his heart slightly, and asked puzzled.

"The lord of the castle issued this decree when he first returned to the city. As he spoke, the head of the city defender took out a palm-sized bronze token with the word 'order' engraved in the middle from his arms, and showed it in front of Xiahou Feng's eyes.

"Since it's the Castle Lord's Bronze Order, I should have followed it carefully. Soldiers, stationed outside the city, will be returned. Xiahou Feng took a closer look at the bronze order, then turned his head and ordered.

Everything was arranged, Xiahou Feng rode into the Cold Spirit City alone, and after passing through the lively street market and the layers of palace gates, he dismounted and walked into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, the wolf guard was dressed in white, sitting comfortably in the position of the city lord in the center of the main hall, leisurely brewing tea and tasting fun. Behind her, a servant girl gently shook the fan, and the breeze swayed...

"Wolf Guard, is it inappropriate for you to sit in this position?" As soon as he entered the main hall, Xiahou Feng saw Wolf Soldier Guard sitting in the position of the city lord in a big way, and asked angrily.

"Oh, General Xiahou thinks that there is something wrong with this marshal sitting in this position?" the wolf guard still poured tea to himself, as if he was interested. But he didn't look at Xiahou Feng who came in.

"Of course not! Now, the lord of the city is still in retreat, and you are in a hurry to sit in this position, and it is regarded as a rebellion. Besides, even if the City Lord is not there, you are not qualified to sit in that position!" Xiahou Feng said unceremoniously and forcefully, and his voice was like a bell.

"It seems that General Xiahou has a lot of complaints about Ben Shuai sitting in this position... Before Lord Han retreated, he had authorized the commander to handle all government affairs in Cold Spirit City. What General Xiahou said just now, aren't you afraid that Ben Shuai will punish you for a big crime of disrespect?" took a sip of fragrant tea, put down the tea cup in his hand, and the wolf guard raised his eyes and said faintly.

"Hmph, since the city lord has authorized you to handle government affairs, why don't you tell us in advance. Xiahou Feng didn't believe it.

"Lord Han's major decision, is it necessary to tell you?, since General Xiahou insists on not believing in this commander, can he recognize this thing?" As he spoke, Wolf Bingwei took out a palm-sized, delicately clear round jade from his waist with countless intricate lines.

"Han Lingyu, how can you have the city lord's personal jade pendant?" Xia Houfeng recognized it at a glance and immediately asked.

"This is naturally handed over to Ben Shuai by Lord Han himself as an authorized token!"

"Who can testify?" Xiahou Feng still refused to give up and continued to ask.

"General Xiahou's words are not a thorn in the flesh? General Liu unfortunately fell in the Far East Domain, and General Bafa was assigned by Lord Han to carry out a secret task. Lord Han is about to retreat again, so naturally there is no one around him. The wolf guard replied without leaking.

"Then Lord Castle, where is it now? General Ben wants to ask Lord Castle Lord for verification in person. Xiahou Feng suddenly changed his words, and he looked like he was vowing to find out the truth.

"Xiahou Feng! Lord Han is now in the Cold Spirit Palace, do you want to ignore the 'ancestral teachings' and stop the Lord from going mad? Can you afford this consequence?"

The Hanling Hall is the main hall of the memorial tablets of the city lords of the Hanling City in the past dynasties, except for the city lord who can enter, a wisp of the sacred forbidden place that outsiders are not allowed to enter, and those who trespass into the forbidden hall will be punished with the crime of killing the king.

"Since the city lord is in retreat in the Cold Spirit Forbidden Hall, Ben Jiang naturally doesn't dare to disturb him. But how can I believe that the cold spirit jade in the hands of the wolf general was handed over to you by the city lord himself?" Seeing that the city lord's verification method was blocked, Xiahou Feng retreated and stared at the cold spirit jade in the hand of the wolf soldier with a look of doubt.

"Since you don't believe in the jade pendant in Ben Shuai's hand, you can verify it yourself. After saying that, the wolf guard calmly shot out the cold spirit jade.

Seeing this, Xiahou Feng also took it unceremoniously, and rummaged it in his hand to examine it carefully. Regardless of quality, color, warmth... There is no other, it is indeed a cold spirit jade.

"How is it, General Xiahou, is there a problem with the jade pendant? Ben Shuai didn't lie to you, right?" Wolf Bingwei looked confident, no matter how much you looked at it, you couldn't see anything wrong, after all, it was indeed the real Han Lingyu. When he got this jade pendant, he checked it many times to confirm that there was nothing suspicious, and after speaking, the wolf guard continued to pour tea and drink slowly.

Seeing that the wolf guard's gaze shifted, Xiahou Feng quickly injected spiritual power into his fingertips, and drew two symmetrical "bow" characters on the round jade along a few seemingly plain lines on the complex and chaotic stripes of the cold spirit jade, and the glyphs had just been outlined. A circle of light spots lit up slightly in the center of the cold spirit jade, and then a light and shadow instantly shot into Xiahou Feng's mind.

And this scene was also noticed by the wolf guards who were secretly observing, but it was too late to stop it, although I didn't know what that light and shadow was, but it was certain that when the cold spirit jade was repeatedly checked before, it used a special technique to hide important information, but now it was unraveled by Xiahou Feng.

At this moment, the wolf guard's heart sank, his eyes were cold, and a faint murderous aura was brewing, and there was no longer the leisure on his face.

"Since it is the city lord who authorizes the wolf general to handle all government affairs, then the general will no longer bother and leave!" Then he turned around and was about to leave.

"Since you're here, you don't have to leave!" Seeing that Xiahou Feng was in a hurry to leave, the wolf guard must have known that the matter was revealed. Without waiting for Xiahou Feng to take half a step, he directly tore his face.

"Drink!Martial arts, explosive iron fist!" Xiahou Feng shouted loudly and struck first. In an instant, his whole body burst out with strong spiritual power, and he quickly turned around unexpectedly, and a yellow-level low-level fist swing was swung out, smashing towards the door of the wolf guard.

"Bang!" The fierce fist wind instantly smashed the pillar behind the main hall into two, and the wolf guards narrowly dodged, avoiding Xiahou Feng's surprise attack, and flashed to the side of the main hall.

"Did you really find out?" said the wolf guard, his eyes sharp and cold.

"You thief, you dare to murder the city lord!" Xiahou Feng scolded angrily with his eyes like fire, and his voice was like thunder.

"Hmph, murder? I'm just trying to get what I want. Soon, though, you'll be able to join them too. The wolf guards stared at Xiahou Feng as if they were looking at a dead person.

"Martial arts, Polar Moon Slash!" the wolf soldier snorted, his hands as slow as a dream, but quickly and invisibly drew a pair of cold silver wolf scimitars from behind the white clothes.

When the word "chop" spit out lightly and the words did not fall, the figure of the wolf guard was drawn out like a meteor, and a figure in Xiahou Feng's eyes quickly enlarged. Before he could blink an eye, he flashed in front of him, as if everything was frozen at a standstill, and the twin blades instantly pulled apart and swung out a huge moon-shaped blade.

"Qiang!" As the wolf guard's move ended, a strong and piercing sonic boom resounded in the silent hall. Xiahou Feng was also shocked by this sudden and unprepared blade, and the whole person broke through the temple door and rolled down the heavy steps in front of the hall.

"Flutter!" Xiahou Feng, who rolled down to the platform in front of the hall, spit out a mouthful of blood before he could stand up. The thick and strong armor on his chest had been torn open with a long tear, and his chest was bleeding profusely. Xiahou Feng held his hand on his severely injured chest and struggled to get up from the ground.

"Yellow Rank Intermediate! I didn't expect you to actually know the Yellow Rank Intermediate Exercises!!" Xiahou Feng said with surprise in his eyes.

"Hehe, there are so many things you haven't thought of? Now Ben Shuai is asking you, what is the secret of that piece of cold spirit jade?" Wolf Bingwei looked at Xiahou Feng coldly, eager to know the secret of that piece of cold spirit jade.

"Hahaha... Wolf Guard, I didn't expect you, a thief, to think you could hide from the world. Don't you know that the cold spirit jade is the 'sound transmission jade', and only the henchmen of the city lord will know the 'interpretation note'. It can be seen that the city lord has never really taken a fancy to you, hahaha" Xiahou Feng laughed sarcastically with blood on his mouth.

"Could it be... It was that time. After listening to what Xiahou Feng said, the wolf guard seemed to recall:

At the moment before Han Qi died, his right hand had injected a faint spiritual power into his waist. It turned out that it was not for healing, but to inject sound transmission into the peiyu around his waist. I didn't expect my careful plan to be planted on a small jade pendant, which is really secret, but now, even if it is exposed, there is nothing to be afraid of. Thinking of this, the wolf guard sneered.

While the wolf guards were distracted, Xiahou Feng injected spiritual power into his right hand, unlocked the transmission note of the cold spirit jade, and then waved his hand to the sky. In the cold spirit jade, a bright white light was like a firework, with a piercing sound, and it instantly rose into the air...

In an instant, on the clear sky, four bright red characters bloomed:

"Wolf soldiers kill the master!"

"You... Look for... Die!" I didn't expect a moment of negligence to completely cause the incident. The wolf soldier who came back to his senses had an ugly face, cold eyes, and a vicious demon.

I can't wait to devour Xiahou Feng alive, the movement of his fight with Xiahou Feng has already attracted the soldiers to inspect the main hall, and the soldiers saw the two generals of the wolf guard and Xiahou Feng fighting, and they watched at a loss, and the four big characters in the sky made the people of the entire Cold Spirit City know about their murder. The original foolproof attempt to seize power and seize the throne is now as exposed as if it was announced to the world, and the wolf guards looked at Xiahou Feng and gritted their teeth with hatred.

"Hahahaha..."Xiahou Feng laughed heartily with blood in his mouth, his goal had succeeded, but the laughter did not fall. A figure floated past him, and the unapologetic laughter came to an abrupt end.
