At dawn, the suspicious diners mentioned by Fang Chuan's boss appeared in the tavern early again. Under normal circumstances, the Huifu Tavern does not open until near noon, but now this situation is more like a large family for a funeral.

After getting Qi Lang's explanation, Boss Fang seemed much calmer this time, and even took the initiative to go up and talk. And the attitude of those men was very humble, and every word was polite, and it was clear that they were well aware that their greatest leader was now in demand.

Qi Lang walked out with the two brothers, and walked up to the dignified-looking diner among them.

"We participate. ”

The simple four words brought those people a sense of relief. They all stood up in unison, bowed respectfully, and replied, "Please wait a moment, the master should still have an explanation." So one of the diners ran out so fast that he almost knocked the waiter who was carrying the food through the door.

From the Huifu Tavern to the inner courtyard of the palace, it was about two or three kilometers away, and the messenger also needed to skillfully avoid the guards of the Kaili Sword Regiment, and it would take more than an hour to go back and forth, so as not to be too ostentatious, the cautious boss Fang Chuan invited a few people to the private room on the second floor.

As soon as Qi Lang sat down, the brothers on the opposite side suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground together: "King Zonghao's kindness, I will never forget the soldiers of the Mingyu Kingdom." ”

Gulf was taken aback, and a few sharp arrows almost came out of the string, but Owu was more calm, and he just casually picked up a round mahogany table.

Qi Lang hurriedly got up to dissuade him. "This big brother. He said to the man in charge, "You can call me Qi Lang, for I am only a warrior, and I have not yet made up my mind whether to accept the status of king to this day." Etiquette like yours, I subconsciously always want to return it in the same way. ”

Several of them slowly stood up and made a few more gestures before they sat down in their respective places with confidence. The leader said: "I have heard Captain Xu Biao say that Sergeant Qi Lang has a fiery heart, and he has been very kind to my Mingyu Kingdom in the past, and this time he has helped me again, and the whole escort team has already been grateful to you." ”

Speaking of Captain Xu Biao, Qi Lang suddenly remembered the one-armed warrior, it was his introduction that he had the opportunity to meet the dustless old man, and he was also his benefactor.

"By the way, how is Captain Xu now?" he asked, "You probably wouldn't have thought that we have a little miracle doctor over there, and he has the means to make a prosthetic leg that can move freely, and when we meet again next time, I will definitely get Captain Xu an arm, which will be one of his secret weapons." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Lang found that the leader's gaze had darkened significantly. "Captain Xu is no longer needed. He said in a low tone, "He's dead......

"What?" Qi Lang's pitch involuntarily raised a few points, "How did he die?"

The commander sighed and said, "Since Mr. Wuchen's death, Captain Xu has been obsessed with it, and has conducted many investigations in private, and he is quite suspicious of the young prince of Dongyi, but I didn't expect that a few days later, his body was found in the bamboo forest behind the mountain. Captain Xu died a miserable death, his chest and abdomen were torn open, and his liver and intestines flowed all over the ground, as if he had been pulled out by a wild beast. ”

Qi Lang slapped the case: "It's his beast pet!"

The guards on the other side looked puzzled. But the commander looked approving: "It seems that Sergeant Qi Lang also holds the same guess, but we have no evidence, and the fact that a cultivator has a beast pet is extremely rare, there is really no way to deal with him." ”

Qi Lang's brows furrowed, and he stood there silent for a long time, as if he was listening to something. "It looks like my trip has to be slightly delayed by a few hours. "Because I want to see if there's really nothing I can do." ”

Ou Wu seemed to understand, and asked with round eyes, "Do you need Leo's help?"

Qi Lang shook his head: "In any way, this is a personal feud, a personal feud that needs to be resolved one-on-one." ”

As he spoke, a wide carriage came galloping down the street, driven by the messenger who had just departed. He ran up with a few steps and saluted Qi Lang: "The master said that you can go on the road, and the gift for you is being loaded in the car." There was also a letter in the car, and the next arrangements were clearly written by the master. ”

Qi Lang nodded in thanks: "It's hard work, please send my two brothers out of the east gate and wait for me in Shanglong Village, and I will rush over later." ”

Seeing that Qi Lang was resolute and full of confidence, they no longer dissuaded them, and immediately took their places, led Ou Wu and Gulf into the carriage, and carefully escorted them straight out of the east gate. Qi Lang, on the other hand, asked Boss Fang for an ordinary piece of clothing, changed it on his body, and asked for a hat to stay in the room and close his eyes to recuperate. After calculating the time, it was late in the afternoon, so he put on his hat, said goodbye to Boss Fang, and walked east along the street market.

Qi Lang's intention to do this is naturally only one, that is, to meet that Ji Muqi head-on for a while, if possible, it is best to deal with the silver fox beast pet with invisible murder skills in advance. And the reason why he has that confidence is completely Igru's own idea. The snow wolf friend didn't feel that he had been idle for too long and wanted to move his muscles, but that he had been a little depressed in the past two days - it should be the bad psychological influence caused by the strong girlfriend.

Sure enough, the procession to greet them was already lined up on both sides of the road in front of the city gate, most of them were Dongyi warriors, and a considerable part of them were local people. Although it is a time of war, they still spontaneously express their respect for the heroes and heroines who work hard.

Two white horses slowly walked into the city gate. Ji Muqi still walked ahead with a cold and arrogant expression, and only when facing his own warriors did he occasionally show a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, as if showing the approachability of the royal family. The princess followed behind, and although her face was covered with dust and her expression was slightly tired, she still left her smiling face to every common people, and she obviously knew that her smiling face represented the confidence of the Mingyu Kingdom, and she must pass that faith on to everyone, otherwise it would be difficult for the people in distress to survive this difficult time like winter.

Qi Lang stood quietly in the middle of the welcoming team, lowered the brim of his hat, and deliberately avoided the princess's eyes. But when the two war horses were about to pass by, they slightly increased the spiritual power that had been suppressed in their bodies and deliberately released them.

Almost at the same time, Qi Lang noticed that Ji Muqi frowned, and his grim face slowly turned around. This time, Qi Lang did not evade it in the slightest. He stretched out his fingers and lifted the brim of his hat upwards, and his fierce gaze met it like a sharp sword.

He immediately saw Qi Lang, and there seemed to be some surprise in his eyes, but that surprise was quickly replaced by anger at being fooled. He stared firmly at Qi Lang's eyes, and the murderous aura was gathering little by little, causing the kind old lady standing behind Qi Lang to shiver vigorously.

But Qi Lang was unmoved. He returned a mocking smile, lowered the brim of his hat again, and took a light step, heading eastward against the surging crowd.

"Here he comes. Iglu made a voice in his head, low with a hint of excitement, "He felt my challenge, and he couldn't help it." I must say that the cunning and cautious friend made a mistake after all. ”

"Prove it to me, Iglu. Qi Lang had already walked out of the city gate, without even looking back, with brisk steps, "Let me believe that you are not a big talker who only coaxes girls to be happy." ”

Iglu laughed, "You don't have to provoke me, those tricks won't work for me. However, I will still prove it to you, and I will ask you to remember that all creatures living on the snow field, as long as they are targeted by our snow wolf clan, will not end well, especially this snow wolf, who is still a noble clan leader. ”

Igru is gone. Not only had his voice disappeared, but Qi Lang couldn't feel his presence in his mind. However, his faith remained.

Without any worries, Qi Lang continued on foot. The village of Shanglong was two or three kilometers away, and he had to hold on to it, because there were three anxious friends waiting there, and if Iglu was caught in front of him, he would have to lose face to his Scud.

At the same time, he also needs to know all the arrangements of King Mihuan as soon as possible, especially every detail of this master duel, he must make all preparations in advance. It will be a decisive battle of great significance, like a rare carnival on the continent, where war will make way for a while, and the opposing forces will put on the mask of friendship and engage in a hypocritical exchange of force. Of course, it was also a real battle of knives and guns, although it was smaller in scale, but there was no difference in cruelty.

The battle between the two pets must have begun, probably behind the mound, or perhaps in the birch forest, and no one could say the exact location. But Qi Lang was not worried, he walked fast, moving towards his goal.

When he looked back at the tall and occasionally broken wall, he could see several guards standing on the edge of the battlements looking around with pergolas in their hands. No doubt they all heard the long howl. They must have wondered, knowing that wolves had been extinct in Middle-earth for many years, and such a majestic howl had probably never been heard even by the old hunter who had hunted all his life.

But the howl was all too familiar to Qi Lang - it was Igru proudly declaring victory.

This is really a good sign.
