After Wuwei Heavenly Master and several of his disciples left with Mr. Yan Fang, Tai Hao and Prince Xuanbao also began their journey. Their team left the solemn ashram on Liupan Mountain, and what they saw was a magnificent scene.

After another day's journey, they came to a place called Cam Ranh City. This city, like a shining jewel set in the earth, exudes a sense of tranquility and peace. Originally, Mr. Yanfang was going to come here to find Wuwei Heavenly Master, but he didn't expect to meet him in Liupan Mountain in advance.

At this time, it was getting late, and after discussing with Prince Xuanbao, Taihao decided to let the tired team rest for a night in Cam Ranh City. After all, during the journey, unknown dangers are unpredictable. To make sure nothing goes wrong, they decide to settle down at an inn in the city called "Dragon Cloud".

Longyun Inn, one of the most famous inns in Cam Ranh City, is not only because of its antique architectural style, but also because it has a legendary story behind it. It is said that it was once a retreat for a knight, but it was later transformed into an inn and became a warm base for travelers. And at this moment, Taihao and Prince Xuanbao will also spend the night here.

The innkeeper, a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes bent into crescent moons, greeted them warmly. As soon as you enter the inn, you can feel a kind of warmth at home. Their rooms, beautifully furnished, seem to be a place where two worlds meet, where the ancient and the modern, the quiet and the bustling, are perfectly blended.

After a night of calm, Tai Hao and the crown prince Xuanbao and the hundred loyal soldiers enjoyed a hearty breakfast. The glow of the sunrise shone on the quiet inn, and as they prepared to leave, they welcomed an unexpected visitor.

The arrival of a group of officers and men added a bit of solemnity and solemnity to this early morning. The uniform movements of the soldiers were like an iron wall, surrounding Taihao and them. Out of the official sedan chair headed by a delicately dressed official with a scar on his face stepped out. His sharp gaze swept over Taihao and Xuanbao's faces, and then he knelt down and bowed his head, and said, "Jinlan City Lord Yupu, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xuan Bao was surprised by his sudden appearance and humble demeanor, and blurted out, "How do you know that I am the crown prince?" "This question is like throwing a stone into a lake, and it instantly stirs up ripples. The city lord of Yupu still maintained his bowing salute and replied: "I won't hide it from you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, on the birthday of the Queen Mother last year, the lower officials saw your face in the capital. ”

Xuan Bao said: "We are just passing through here, we stopped for a while last night, and we will continue our journey today, and we don't need to work for us anymore." ”

In just a few sentences, it is like a landscape painting, and with just a few brushstrokes, the scene of passing by, passing by, and about to leave is vividly depicted. Xuanbao's words seem to be plain, but they carry a resoluteness that cannot be ignored. His words were like a gust of wind blowing across the lake, not violent, but enough to leave a ripple on the surface of the water.

But the Yupu City Lord came with a mission, and after listening to the prince's words, he pondered for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness the prince, the lower official has something to report to you. ”

Xuan Bao asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yupu lowered his eyebrows, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "The hot land of Jinlan City has recently suffered frequent infestation from the Dangxiang cat clan. These invading enemies, like dark shadows in the night, crept in, taking away the peace and tranquility around the city. The people were crying out for a long time, helpless in the fields, exhausted and exhausted, and the happy life of the past was shrouded in the haze of war. ”

He shook his head and continued: "In Jinlan City, although there is a group of three thousand brave soldiers and horses, they are as enthusiastic as fire and have firm beliefs, they are still unable to compete with the strength of the party cat clan. It is like the stars in the night sky, although bright, they cannot resist the threat from the darkness. Their resistance, to a certain extent, delayed the enemy's offensive, but it could not solve the problem fundamentally. ”

Yu Pu's face was gloomy and he sighed, "The lower officials have written this matter to the imperial court, and I expect the imperial court to send strong officers and soldiers to support." However, the response of the imperial court was delayed. This puzzled me and made Xia Guan feel deeply worried about the future of Cam Ranh City. The lower officials didn't know why the imperial court had made such a decision, but they hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, or did they have their own troubles and considerations? He looked up at me with a glint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Since there is such a thing?" Xuan Bao asked, "I haven't heard of this, Lord Taihao, have you heard of this?" ”

Tai Hao said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, Weichen has never heard of such a thing. However, Weichen has something unclear, so he dares to ask Lord Yupu to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of this matter, what is his intention? ”

Yupu kowtowed and said: "The lower official just wants to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if he can urge the court to deal with this matter and send troops to support as soon as possible......"

After hearing this, Xuan Bao fell into deep thought, and when Tai Hao saw this, he hurriedly asked: "You get up and talk back, this matter still needs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think about it for a while." Lord Yupu, what kind of existence do those party cat clans exist in our Eastern Empire? ”

Yupu stepped forward and narrated in a straight voice: "The Dangxiang cat clan has been thriving in the desert land of the northwest since ancient times, and they are a cat clan with a long history and strong strength. They have a great reputation in the cat world and are known as 'desert cats'. Desert cats are known for their bravery, perseverance, and intelligence, and their martial arts skills are superb, and their sensing abilities are extraordinary. However, they are fundamentally different from the pastoral cat clans of our Eastern Empire, and they are much better at fighting. Although their ancestors were devastated and displaced by us, they still have roots in this northwestern land, frequently invading our Cam Ranh City, because they firmly believe that this was once their territory. ”

Xuan Bao slowly spoke, and said, "In the ancient scrolls, I found a record about the rise and fall of this party cat clan. In the past, this powerful cat clan suffered an unprecedented disaster during the reign of Tongtian IV of the Tongtian Dynasty. It is said that at that time, Tongtian IV heard that in the far northwest frontier, some of the people of the Dangxiang Cat Clan called themselves the 'King of Ten Thousand Cats', and threatened that all the Cat Clans in the world should submit to them, this news undoubtedly angered Tongtian IV, and he immediately ordered a merciless slaughter of the Dangxiang Cat Clan. This massacre, like a dark cloud, plunged the party cat clan into endless darkness. Countless heroic Cat Clan warriors fell in pools of blood, their blood staining the earth red, like a bleak rain, sprinkled all over the land. However, it was not until Tongtian V succeeded to the throne, perhaps in view of the heroic resistance of the Dangxiang Cat Clan, or perhaps out of a desire for peace, that he finally exonerated the Dangxiang Cat Clan, bringing them new hope. However, the imprint of history is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the party cat clan, who no longer dominate the world, but choose to hide in the world and live a life of seclusion. Although the wounds of history cannot be erased, their bravery and tenacity will always be unforgettable. Xuan Bao sighed deeply, "This is all I know about the history of the Dangxiang Cat Clan. ”

Yupu said gloomily: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is aware of everything, and every sentence is true. The party cat clan is like a wolf and a tiger, frequently invading my Jinlan City, although there are millions of warriors in my Heavenly Empire, but I also feel helpless. ”

Tai Hao's sword eyebrows were raised, his starry eyes were blazing, and he asked indifferently: "How many people does this party and cat clan have in the territory of my Eastern Empire?" ”

Yupu replied respectfully: "According to the latest statistics of the Ministry of Households, there are about 100,000 people in the Dangxiang Cat Clan in the empire. ”

Tai Hao frowned slightly, and asked again, "Then in the recent period, have they set foot in Jinlan City and the surrounding villages again?" ”

Yu Pu looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "They appear almost every day, and the villages around Jinlan City can no longer maintain normal order. The people complained, alas......"

Taihao nodded silently, a hint of determination flashed on his face. He knew that this was a big deal and that immediate action was needed to quell the turmoil......

Tai Hao's eyes were slightly cold, and he said indifferently: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can wait here with peace of mind, and I will go to meet those party cat clans for a while." His words contained iron determination and fearless momentum, like a fire burning and as firm as a stone.

Yupu looked at him, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but speak: "This lord, you go to deal with them alone, but you can't help it." The worry in his words was like an invisible chain, tightly binding her heart.

After hearing this, Tai Hao hooked a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay." If I really can't defeat them, then I can only wait for the reinforcements from the imperial court to arrive. But if I can defeat them, I may be able to resolve the crisis here as soon as possible, and you and I can be relieved. His words are like a sharp sword, pointing directly at people's hearts, revealing determination and fearlessness.

Subsequently, Tai Hao stepped forward, resolutely left the inn with the fish spectrum, and led twenty officers and soldiers to the village outside the city. When we arrived at the village, it was already dusk, and the village seemed to be an ink painting, quiet and mysterious. However, with the deepening of Taihao, Yupu and other officers and soldiers, the tranquility was instantly broken.

They found out that there was really a group of party cat bandits in the village who were confronting the villagers. Those bandits are like wolves, all of them are in good shape and skillful. They were armed with sharp blades and were majestic, while the villagers who confronted them were forced to retreat. Seeing that the situation was tense, Taihao stared at this scene tightly, and his heart was twisted.

He knew that he couldn't let these bandits run rampant, and he had to stop the disaster. So, Taihao immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to besiege the bandits. For a while, the village resounded with the sound of fighting.

Although there were a large number of bandits, because of Taihao's strong martial arts, those bandits were gradually defeated. However, Taihao did not let up because of this. He knew that these bandits had not yet been completely defeated, and he had to be more cautious. So, he decided to adopt a more ingenious tactic.

Tai Hao and Yu Pu led the officers and soldiers to retreat quickly, rearranging the defensive line at the other end of the village. They took advantage of the terrain and skillfully arranged traps and ambushes. When everything was ready, Tai Hao commanded his soldiers to quickly pursue the bandits.

In this pursuit battle, Taihao once again showed their outstanding combat effectiveness and wisdom. He led the officers and soldiers to drive the bandits into a dead end. Under Taihao's order, the officers and soldiers swarmed up and surrounded the bandits. In the end, all of these party cat bandits were captured.

When the villagers heard the news, they cheered and came to Taihao and Yupu to be grateful. They hailed Taihao and Yupu as heroes, offering food and gifts to show their gratitude. However, Taihao and Yupu were not complacent because of this. Because although these party cat clans are caught, there will definitely be more party cat clans coming.
