Chapter 581: Troubles of the Empire

Haig stood there with a stern expression, ready to listen to his first mission as a Shiki.

Dongfang Xiuzhe's gaze looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, his expression was a little solemn, and after being silent for a while, he said: "I want you to go to the 'Wanhuaguo City' and help me investigate Zuo Siwei and the people around him." ”

"The subordinates promise to complete the mission!"

Haig used to be an undead assassin, and lurking and spying were what he was good at, even if his current strength was less than one-tenth of what he used to be because of the influence of the entity, but it was more than enough to do this kind of thing.

"You take these, I'll teach you how to use them later!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe took out a large stack of spells and handed them to Haig.

Haig had seen the power of such a spell before, and he did not dare to be careless, so he took it carefully.

"Wait a minute, you follow the guidance of this spell to the edge of a cliff, and meet the beans waiting there, and they will be under your command!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe's fingers moved slightly, and a spell turned into a paper crane, flapped his wings, and flew up.

At the beginning, when Dongfang Xiuzhe entered the "Heavenly Forest", he sent a part of the bean generals and Shikami to explore the road.

Those low-level gods, after the true yuan power is consumed, will disappear on their own, but those bean generals will not.

Those beans will surely be waiting on the edge of that cliff!

"Subordinates obey!"

Although Haig was accustomed to acting alone, he felt that the little master seemed to be suppressing some kind of murderous aura at the moment, so he didn't dare to say more.

After a pillar of incense, Dongfang Xiuzhe had already taught Haig how to use the charms, as well as the different effects of different spells.

"You're ready to execute!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't say anything, he believed that with the strength that Haige had just expressed, plus those spells, he would definitely be able to complete the task smoothly.

Haig got down on one knee and saluted. Then the whole person turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the shadows......

The blue sky is full of white clouds, and the wind speed is very strong at the cliffs that are significantly higher than the surrounding mountains.

A group of people followed the mountain road, from far to near.

"Little Medicine Fairy, the 'Heavenly Forest' is ahead, wait for us to rest for a while, and then there will be this place to enter!"

The Praetorian Guards will be in the Nine Cities with a stern face.

As the leader of the Praetorian Guard, he was always rigorous and unsmiling. is a difficult person to get along with.

This time, he was appointed by His Majesty, ostensibly to protect the safety of the little medicine immortal Sima Xinxia, and to be in charge of collecting medicines, but in fact, his mission was to find the whereabouts of the four top bounty hunters.

"It's so high, why are we going to enter from here?"

The little medicine fairy looked around, there was no life here except for rocks and stones.

"This is also so that as few people can know about this secret medicine collection, the better!"

"What a lot of work!"

Sima Xinxia muttered. I couldn't help but be even more curious, what kind of medicine was sold in this emperor's majesty's gourd?

Regarding this operation, His Majesty the Emperor only told her that she was looking for the four bounty hunters, but there was no other information. But he didn't reveal half a word.

Sima Xinxia was also in line with the idea of "knowing less is safer" at that time, and did not ask.

Just because she didn't ask didn't mean she wouldn't be curious!

"The 'Heavenly Forest' is so big, looking for four people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if you take a step back. What can I do if I find those four legendary bounty hunters?"

Sima Xinxia found a clean stone and sat down, and her thoughts flew a little wildly.

To know. Even ordinary bounty hunters would not take the imperial nobles seriously, let alone those four bounty hunters who have a lot of rumors.

"Could it be that His Majesty knows those four bounty hunters?"

The thought crossed my mind, but it was quickly rejected.

Judging by Sima Xinxia's observation of His Majesty's words and deeds at that time, His Majesty the Emperor not only didn't know the four bounty hunters, but was even a little helpless.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has some unspeakable hardship, and has to rely on the power of the four bounty hunters.

"Take a break and don't let your guard down. ”

At this time, the voice of the commander of the Nine Cities was heard.

In order to complete this task, but carefully selected more than 50 meters of internal masters, if it is not afraid of many people, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, and it is not impossible to pull the entire Praetorian Guard over!

Hejiucheng then ordered someone to inquire about the situation in the vicinity, and he was very cautious.

Looking at the busy figure of Hejiu City, Sima Xinxia was not only more curious: What was the matter, she had to borrow the power of those four legendary bounty hunters?

"Newspaper—"

Just as Sima Xinxia was thinking wildly, a loud report drew her attention.

It was a person who had just been in charge of investigating the surroundings, and he ran straight to the front of Hejiu City and reported: "My lord, two hundred meters in front of the left, I found a large number of people stationed there. ”

"What, there shouldn't be anyone else in this place!"

"The crowd stood motionless and behaved very strangely. ”

"Let's go, let's see!" Hejiucheng was ready to see for himself at the moment.

Sima Xinxia, who was not far away, also followed quickly, and she would also be curious about how there could be other people in this place where birds don't?

I hope it's not coming at them!

The distance of two hundred meters is not very long, and after climbing a few steep slopes and crossing a few boulders, we arrived.

Looking from a distance, I saw that there were hundreds of burly men with good temperament standing motionless dozens of meters away.

Those people, the same height, the same attire, don't look like some idle people, let alone a mercenary group, they are all like soldiers and generals waiting for orders.

"Is it a coincidence that they came from, or is it a ......?"

Hejiucheng's expression was cloudy, and what he was most worried about was that the other party was the person of the "Qingtian Hou", in that case, their mission this time was likely to have been exposed.

"It's weird, it's weird, they look like humans, what the hell is it?"

At this moment, the surprised voice of the little medicine fairy came out of his ears.

"Little Doctor Fairy. What do you see?" He Jiucheng was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.

"With my eyes as a doctor for many years, none of them are human, their breathing, their facial expressions, their pupil constrictions, are not normal! and most importantly, I can't feel them as human beings. ”

Sima Xinxia's eyebrows were tightly locked, and she couldn't be sure what the other party was.

"Not human?"

He Jiucheng was taken aback, thinking of the emperor's majesty's thousand instructions. I couldn't help but suspect that the other party was Qingtianhou's subordinate.

Zuo Siwei, who is in charge of Qingtian Hou, has many dark and terrifying rumors, including not being human!

"Ah, what's that?"

Without any warning, Sima Xinxia suddenly exclaimed, which directly startled the Hejiu City beside her.

looked at Sima Xinxia's line of sight, and saw a person suddenly appear in the shadow of a stone.

It's so weird, it's like coming out of the water.

"Sure enough, it's the person of the Heavenly Marquis!"

I saw the man in black who suddenly appeared. Hejiucheng affirmed the conjecture in his heart even more.

Just because of the other party's outfit, it is the black blood death guard next to Zuo Siwei.

What surprised them even more was a flying paper crane, which came by the wind. Vivid, as if alive.

After circling a few times, the paper crane suddenly exploded, a large amount of steam. Directly enveloped all around, visibility was instantly at its limit.

When the "fog" cleared, the front was already empty. Those hundreds of people seemed to have evaporated from the world, indescribably weird......

The emperor's residence of the Uemori Empire.

A richly dressed woman, holding a bowl of tonic soup in her hand, walked in from the outside.

In front of the bookcase, His Majesty the Emperor was distracted, and it could even be said that he was a little restless.

Just like "every family has a scripture that is difficult to read", every empire has its own troubles!

And the biggest trouble of the Emperor Xià is the Marquis of Qingtian!

Qingtianhou, in recent years, has become more and more arrogant and domineering, and does not take him as an emperor in his eyes at all, not only committing murder, but also forming a party for personal gain, knowing the law and breaking the law.

The Marquis had not made a pilgrimage for several years, and each time he used his illness as an excuse, but in private, he had done a heinous evil deed.

In the past, Qingtianhou was not like this, it was the gatekeeper of the "Zhisheng Empire", a veteran-level general, how did it become like this now?

If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Qing Tian held the power of the army, he would have been punished a long time ago.

In recent years, Qingtianhou's actions have become more and more difficult to guess.

In particular, Zuo Siwei, who was in charge of the Marquis of Qingtian, was like a concentration camp for non-humans.

"Your Majesty, drink ginseng soup, you haven't eaten well for a few days!"

The luxurious woman said softly, a look of concern written on her face.

"Hey~" With a long sigh, the emperor stood up, "I don't have an appetite. ”

"Are you still sad about the matter of 'Qingtianhou', how can he be worth the trouble of His Majesty?"

"In the last few years, the Optimus Marquis has become a little scared to me, you don't know how many capable people there are around the Optimus Queen. When the emperor talked about this, he was sad.

He still vividly remembers that when he woke up that morning, he found a sick note from Qingtianhou placed next to his pillow:

The minister is old and unwell, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the temple in the future, so please forgive me.

In this way, isn't it implying that it is easy for Wei Chen to take your life!

The emperor was furious and privately sent a large number of masters to approach the Marquis of Qingtian, but the result was that there was no return.

What frightened the emperor the most was that the masters who were sent there had all become Qingtianhou's subordinates and were incorporated into Zuo Siwei.

"By the way, is Qixiu back?" the emperor suddenly changed the subject and asked about the situation of his youngest son, who gave him a headache.

"I'm back, and I'm clamoring to see you!"

"Seeing me, doesn't he hide far away every time?" the emperor wondered.

"It is said that it seems that I have met a very powerful little Engong this time!" (to be continued......)
