Volume 1 Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 124 The hunt begins
Sword Palace, in a quiet building, the sword head qin is renewing tea for guests.
The thin old man sitting opposite was none other than the first assistant of the dynasty, Zhou Shibo.
"I'm tired of the sword head personally entertaining, and the old man is flattered." Zhou Shibo held the cup in both hands, and the etiquette was full.
"My sword head is just a famous person, taking care of some trivial matters in the sword palace, and he is not a big person, so why should Lord Shoufu be arrogant."
There was a bit of ridicule in the soft voice of the piano Shangzhang.
"The head of the sword is not a person in my red dust, but the head of the sword palace, transcendent from the world, in the eyes of ordinary people such as me, the head of the sword is no different from the immortal family, so if it is not a big person, I really can't think of anyone else who can be called a person."
When Chao Shoufu's horse-beating kung fu was top-notch, it was a matter of course, and even the corners of his mouth were unconsciously smiling when he heard the first chapter of the piano.
"Lord Shoufu's Qi cultivation skills are no worse than mine, if you focus on cultivation, I'm afraid your attainments are not below me." Qin Shangzhang smiled.
"It's not comparable! The sword head is extremely talented, and it is difficult for the old man to beat the horse. Zhou Shibo complimented.
"Since Lord Shoufu has something, it's better to make it clear, and we will compliment and compliment, and the tea is almost cold." Qin Shangzhang said with a smile.
Zhou Shibo nodded yes, took out a map from his sleeve, and spread it on the table.
Qin Shangzhang glanced at it and found that it was just an ordinary map of Yan Kingdom, and he couldn't help but look suspicious.
Zhou Shibo stretched out one finger, dipped his tea and clicked twice on the map.
The first location is the Foggy Mountains, and the second location is the Makijia Iron Mine.
"Sword head, please look, these two points are the place where the dryad haunts."
Zhou Shibo then dipped the tea again, connected the two points into a line, and extended towards one end, and finally reached the border pass in the northwest.
"Sword head, please look at it again, this line is the range where the dryad may appear again."
Zhou Shibo's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty has agreed to the Northern Expedition at the end of the year, the army is about to start, all the way north, there are countless grains and grasses, and the Northern Expedition route almost overlaps with the range of the Dryad, this battle is related to the life and death of the Yan Kingdom, there is no room for loss, and I hope that the head of the sword can come forward to solve the problem of the Dryad and protect the safety of my Northern Expedition army!"
With that, the head of the court stood up and saluted, and bowed to the ground.
As the first assistant, Zhou Shibo is naturally interested in the powerful monsters that infest the Yan Kingdom, especially the Northern Expedition is imminent, judging from the route of the dryad haunting the Mujia mine after the dryad escaped in the Foggy Mountains, it is very likely that the dryad will flee to the northwest.
This route was also a necessary stop for the Northern Expedition.
If the army marches out and encounters the dryad on the way, it will definitely be a disaster.
The destructive power of the seventh-level dryad is enough to destroy the military formation of tens of thousands of people, and if it is attacked by the dryad, the Northern Expedition will have to suffer heavy casualties before it has even begun.
It's good to be out of the division, but it is possible that the army will suffer heavy casualties and collapse!
It was precisely because he was worried about the Dryad that Zhou Shibo personally went to the Sword Palace to meet the head of the sword, wanting Qin Shangzhang to get rid of the Dryad or expel it from the Yan Kingdom.
Qin Shangzhang was silent for a while, and said:
"The rules of the Sword Palace, do not participate in the battle of the mortal world, but cultivators should slay demons and eliminate demons, the seventh-level tree demon is indeed extremely harmful, if it appears again, I will take action."
Zhou Shibo let out a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "Thank you Sword Head!" ”
As soon as the big stone of the Dryad was removed, Zhou Shibo was a lot more relaxed, and then he would start preparing for the Northern Expedition with all his heart.
"In the case of the white bones of the Foggy Mountains, I don't know if Lord Shoufu can have eyebrows." Qin Shangzhang asked.
"There are no clues, and it's another unsolved case." Zhou Shibo sighed.
It's not that Yan Guo refuses to investigate, these days the imperial court doesn't know how many people have been sent to investigate the matter of the white bones in the Foggy Mountains, but it only found that there are often people lost in the surrounding villages, and there is no other news.
As for the culprit, no shadow has been found.
Qin Shangzhang had expected it, and he was not disappointed, but he tasted the tea thoughtfully.
In the hospitality hall of the Sword Palace, there was silence for a while.
Soon after, Zhou Shibo took his leave and left.
……
Imperial City, Ethereal Pavilion.
A dark line is reporting to the national teacher about the arrival of the first assistant Zhou Shibo in the Sword Palace.
Wei Mocheng, who was sitting on the big chair, nodded slowly, a faint smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself:
"The Northern Expedition is imminent, Shoufu is worried about the dryad, this demon can be used as a variable for me to use one or two."
waved his hand to signal the dark line to retreat, and in the dim hall, only Wei Mocheng was left.
The black-clothed figure on the high-backed chair is like a sleeping tiger, waiting to be devoured.
……
As time passed, many spiritual materials were discovered, which also led to a lot of fighting, and the transformation realm became more and more lively.
After experiencing the strange man, Wu Dachuan and a group of sword servants of the Northern Courtyard evacuated the mountain range.
He led the team back, and everyone talked and laughed on the way.
"Don't look at the lack of gain, our trip is not in vain, at least we have seen the strange people in the transformation realm!"
"After going out, you have to blow it, who has ever seen a wild man in the place where the sword is buried! In the future, I will add one more to the three demons of the burial sword. ”
"And Senior Brother Yun's swordsmanship! I must let the other three hospitals know that our North Courtyard is not easy to mess with! ”
"Senior Sister is right, as long as the swordsmanship is exquisite, the sword servant can also cut the swordsman!"
As a few people were talking, a tall and strong figure walked out from behind a big tree next to him, with a grim face.
Seeing this person, Wu Dachuan's heart suddenly sank.
The chief sword of the West Courtyard, Chu Hu!
"Yun Que, where is he?"
Chu Hu blocked everyone's way, put his hands behind his back, and questioned condescendingly.
"We didn't see it!"
"If you want to find Yun Que, you can find it yourself."
The two sword servants of the North Courtyard spoke one after another, neither humble nor arrogant.
After experiencing the battle just now, their confidence in the identity of the sword servant has increased greatly, and there is a kind of pride in their words, even in the face of the chief sword of the West Courtyard, they are not too afraid.
Wu Dachuan knew it was bad as soon as he heard it.
Others don't know Chu Hu, but he knows that the other party is a ruthless person, especially holding grudges, and no one dares to mess with the Chu brothers in the Sword Palace.
Burst! Burst!
After two muffled sounds, Chu Hu raised his hand to withdraw the flying sword.
The two sword servants who answered were pierced through their hearts and killed instantly!
The corpse is planted, and the death is not blind.
The rest of the sword servants were all stunned and speechless for a while.
No one expected Chu Hu to be so fierce and kill people if he didn't agree with him.
"Kill for no reason! You're the chief sword or the killer! ”
Another sword servant who had just joined the North Courtyard couldn't bear it anymore and shouted and asked, but before he could finish his words, he was also pierced through his heart and died tragically on the spot.
Now no one dared to speak again.
Wu Dachuan pinched the long sword desperately, eager to hack the other party to death, but he never dared to make a move.
There were a total of twelve of them, three of whom were directly killed, and the remaining nine were not Chu Hu's opponents even if they joined forces.
Shooting is the equivalent of sending to death.
"We did see that Yun was missing, but it was too long for us to know where he had gone."
Wu Dachuan was afraid that others were saying the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said in a low tone.
"Yes."
Chu Hu smiled coldly, and suddenly sacrificed three sword lights.
With a scream, except for Wu Dachuan, the remaining eight sword servants were killed in an instant.
Poof! Poof!
The corpses fell one after another.
It's only a moment, and the sword servants of the North Courtyard who were talking and laughing before have all become dead!
Wu Dachuan stayed where he was.
He knew that Chu Hu's methods were ruthless, but he didn't expect this guy to kill people without blinking.
Even if the status of the sword servant is humble, he is also a disciple of the Sword Palace.
slaughtered the sword servant so casually, this Chu Hu didn't treat the sword servant as a human being at all!
Exactly like an animal!
Chu Hu set his eyes on Wu Dachuan at the end, and said expressionlessly:
"Finally, I will ask you again, where is Yun Que."
"I say, I say!"
Wu Dachuan's hand holding the long sword was almost unconscious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly roared, "He's ...... In your mother's bed! ”
The violent Wu Dachuan was knocked to the ground before he could slash his opponent.
"Hunt, let's go."
With a cruel smile on his face, Chu Hu picked up Wu Dachuan like a dead dog, strode towards the forest, and began his hunting trip.
At the same time.
Yun Que was hiding next to a meadow.
On the grass, a group of disciples of the Western Courtyard prepared to hunt down a white bone lizard that was fighting against the ironwood ant colony.
The ant colony formed an ironwood beast, which rarely reached the second-level demon beast, and was evenly matched with the white bone lizard, which was also a second-level dragon.
The disciples of the Western Courtyard had the mind of catching cicadas with praying mantises.
The leader gestured, and the rest of the people showed their magic weapons one after another, ready to move.
It's just that they didn't expect that they would learn from the praying mantis to catch cicadas, and there would be yellow finches behind.
Yun Que also made a move.
He took out the mask from the storage ring and put it on his face, whispering in a whisper.
"Hunt, begin."
