Seeing that the rider was extremely fast, he estimated that he would be able to reach the city gate in a few moments. He hurriedly turned around and whispered a few words to Li An, who was following him......

Li An lowered his hands and lowered his eyebrows to listen to Lord Tantai's instructions, and then agreed reluctantly, and hurried down the castle tower in the direction of the north city gate......

Looking at Li An's back in a hurry, Yutai Hongmou suddenly remembered one thing that he should ask him about...... However, in a blink of an eye, seeing that Li An was too far away, he had to give up for the time being.

Sure enough, without having to drink a cup of tea, the fast horse carrying the rider had already galloped to the north gate! Immediately, the young knight saw Li An waiting there at a glance, and immediately raised his hand and hugged his fist slightly.

At this time, Li An had already seen the face of the person who came in a hurry, and immediately saluted him and shouted happily: "Young Master Yu, it turned out to be you!"

It turned out that this young rider who rushed in the night was none other than Yu Xun, the second son of the famous martial arts family in Shangluo Yu's Golden Knife Gate!

Shangluo Yu's family, who lives in Shangluowu, a northeastern suburb of Shangluo City, Henan Province, is well-known in today's martial arts. Since the ancestor Yu Daiyuan, the Yu family has been famous for its hard-core kung fu of "golden knife and iron palm", and it has been passed on to Yu Xun's generation, which is already the fifth generation.

Just three years ago, Yu Xun's father Yu Qigu passed away for some reason, and the current head of the Yu family is his eldest brother Yu Hong. Yu Hong is low-key and has no intention of being involved in disputes in the martial arts, so the name of the Shangluo Yu family has retired a lot in recent years......

Yu Qigu, the fourth-generation head of the Shangluo Golden Dao Sect, was keen on seeking martial arts when he was young, and he participated in the military as a cavalry captain. Later, Yu Qigu was dissatisfied with the deceit in the officialdom, so he returned to Shangluowu in frustration and took over the position of head from his father. But he has always admired the integrity of Yutai Hongmou, and after leaving the officialdom, he still has constant contacts with him......

When Yu Xun was just ten years old, Yutai Hongmou saw that he was strange and beautiful, and he was quite impressed, so he discussed with his father and adopted him as a righteous son. Since then, the relationship between Yutai Hongmou and Yu Xun is very unusual, but outsiders who have an average relationship outside this relationship are not very clear.

In the past six months or so, Yu Xun has accepted the commission of Yutai Hongmou and specially went to the Western Regions to conduct a secret investigation. Alert and adaptable, Yu Shaoxia used various means to probe and collect detailed information about the various Fan tribes in the Western Regions......

Unexpectedly, when the return date was approaching, Yu Xun accidentally revealed his details, and soon, his whereabouts and purpose had also been detected by the spies of the Baiqiang people!

So, there was an extremely thrilling scene of being ambushed by two masked killers last night......

At that moment, under the guidance of Li An, Yu Xun led the horse into the city in a hurry, and rushed to the sedan chair of Yutai Hongmou to see the salute.

Seeing that Yizi had returned safely, Yutai Hongmou happily stepped out of the sedan chair, holding Yu Xun's hand and asking for warmth......

After a while, Lord Tantai ordered the sedan chair to go home, and told Yu Xun to ride a horse with him.

After a while, this group of people returned to the Yongjing Military Marshal's Mansion (which is also the Juyan Prefecture Mansion). In the living room of the second hall, after Yutai Hongmou sat down, Yu Xun bowed to his father-in-law again. Yutai Hongmou hurriedly reached out and helped him up.

After sitting down, Yutai Hongmou asked, "Xun'er, what is the situation over there at Guyumen Pass?"

"I report to my father-in-law that the child has gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers this time, and finally found out some tangible news......

It turned out that in the past half a year, Yu Xun went to the Western Regions to secretly carry out a secret investigation, in fact, he also shouldered another important task - that is, to find out the details of an evil force that has grown wildly in the past ten years!

In the homeland of the Western Regions near Guyumen Pass and the nomadic land of those Fan tribes in the Shule River Valley, many bizarre and strange things have happened in the past ten years...... Especially in the last three or four years, this barely smooth Silk Road on the Hexi Corridor has been cut off in the section of the Shule River!

According to Yu Xun's secret visit, he learned that——

The leader of this evil force is a Zoroastrian monk from the Qingqiang Kingdom in the southwest, named Mad Sha Maitreya. It is said that Maitreya has a number of magical spells, such as drawing talismans to ward off evil spirits, and using "divine water" to cure diseases and save people...... What's even more evil is that he can still blow the wind and sand, and his destructive power is really terrifying - it really can be called the word "crazy"!

According to rumors, more than 10 years ago, Maitreya of Madsha preached to the Shule River area of Dunhuang in the Western Regions, and unexpectedly encountered the apparition of the ancient evil god Chiyou! After waking up, the monk immediately bowed down to the seat of the evil spirit of Chiyou, and founded the "Chiyou Giant Spirit Sect" in accordance with his "divine metaphor" and appointed himself as the head of the sect.

Crazy Sand Maitreya was particularly incitative, and with his magical spells that could cure diseases and ward off evil spirits, he soon became a figure of great influence in the area of the Shule River.

For this reason, many local Fan people in the Western Regions were deeply bewitched by the fallacies of the "Chiyou Sect" - more and more people volunteered to follow, and in just over ten years, it had grown to hundreds of thousands......

Such a sensational news made Hongmou sweat profusely in such a cold night, and unconsciously became worried......

On this extremely cold night, even if a large brazier was burned in the living room of the second hall of the Shuai Mansion, it seemed that it was difficult to drive away the increasingly pressing cold! On the contrary, the flickering charcoal fire in the brazier was like the terrifying blood-red demon eyes of the vulture, as if it was staring at the father and son......
