Chapter Twenty-Three: Temptation from the Remnant

"This monarch of the Qin State is really rude" In a restaurant in Yunjing City, a general of the Yu Kingdom had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "I have been waiting for the embassy to enter Yunjing City for two days, and it is just a matter of not arranging to live in the Zhike Palace, and I will not even summon him."

Now the Xuanling Sect was forced by the three sects to close the mountain gate.

As a country under the command of Xuanling Sect, the current monarch is an abandoned son, and he is inferior in the eyes of everyone.

However, it is such a country that does not give them face at all.

When they arrived as an envoy, they were not arranged to live in the Zhike Hall as usual, but even this restaurant was found by themselves.

"It seems that I waited uninvited, which upset the monarch"

Prince Yu Yingqiu said with a light smile while sandwiching the dishes for his sister.

Qin's move was not unexpected for him.

Missions to other countries need to be briefed and approved before they can depart.

However, they came directly without saying hello, and even deliberately concealed the news along the way, which naturally caused the monarch to be dissatisfied.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, here's an urgent piece of information"

At this moment, a young man who looked like a guard walked in quickly and delivered a piece of information to Yu Yingqiu.

"Urgent information?"

Yu Yingqiu frowned slightly, and even opened the information.

"What? The night before yesterday, He Wenxing, the guard of the Wind Guard, was beheaded?

"He Wenxing is one of the only two innate extreme powerhouses in Great Qin today, how dare the monarch of the Qin State?"

Seeing the first content written on the intelligence, Yu Yingqiu was taken aback.

He came from outside the Yufeng Pass, so naturally he had seen He Wenxing, and even talked with him about the general trend of the world.

"The city lord of Shengming City was arrested, the commander of the city guard and the deputy city lord were killed on the spot, the family behind the three was completely destroyed overnight, and the new city lord is an ordinary teacher in the city..."

"The city lord of Dingling City, including myself, the whole family of one hundred and thirty people was slaughtered, the commander of the city guard and the deputy city lord were killed, and the new city lord was a child of a small family..."

"Feiling City..."

"Gandan City..."

"Linguang City..."

Every time he looked at a piece of information, Yu Yingqiu's face became ugly.

"There are eighteen cities, all of which we have passed by"

"All the city lords, deputy city lords, and city guard commanders were all arrested or killed for treason, and the families behind them were directly uprooted."

"The He family, the strongest family in Sailuo City, one of the four great cities of Great Qin, was destroyed, the city lord of Sailuo City was arrested, the city guards were absorbed, and the new city lord was Gongsun Zhan, who was in charge of the military and political power."

"In just two days, all the cities that have come into contact with us have been baptized in blood, and the position of the lord of the city has changed hands...".

Without even thinking about it, Yu Yingqiu knew that this must be an order from the monarch who was only sixteen years old.

"Is this a declaration of war against this king? Without the support of the sect, where does the king of Qin get the confidence?"

At this moment, Yu Yingqiu was really angry.

In his opinion, Qin Hao killed so many city lords, deputy city lords, and city guard commanders in order to slap him in the face, slap him in the face of Yu Guo, and even slap the face of the sect behind Yu Guo.

"Bing'er, Brother Wang has something to leave, you eat by yourself, don't run around" Yu Yingqiu got up and said to her sister, and then instructed everyone present, "You wait to protect the princess."

Then he left, came to a courtyard in the depths of the restaurant, first dressed up, and found that there was no inappropriateness, then respectfully said, "Ying Qiu asks to see the ancestor."

"Come in"

A voice could be heard from inside the courtyard.

Yu Yingqiu Yiyan entered the courtyard and came to a room.

In the room, an old man with crane hair and a childish face sat cross-legged, exuding a faint cold aura from his body, which made the temperature in the room at least ten degrees lower than outside.

"Ying Qiu Meets Ancestor"

Yu Yingqiu knelt down respectfully to the old man.

"Get up," the old man bowed slightly, "What is the important thing for you to come to find this seat?"

"Qiyu Ancestor" Yu Yingqiu said, "Just now Yingqiu got the news that He Wenxing, the general of the Imperial Wind Pass, the city lord, deputy city lord, and city guard commander of eighteen cities such as Shengming City and Dingling City were all ordered by the monarch of Qin to raid their homes and exterminate their clans...".

Yu Yingqiu told the old man in detail about the information he had just gotten.

After he finished speaking, the old man said lightly, "Are you worried that Qin Guo doesn't know about it?"

"Yes" Yu Yingqiu nodded and admitted, "Qin State dares to act like this, I don't know if the new monarch is acting crazy or really has enough confidence, I want to be sure first."

"Well, in that case, I'll go to the palace tonight."

The old man nodded slightly, the purpose of his trip was just in case.

"In this way, there will be Lao Laozu," Yu Yingqiu bowed again.

"Alright, you stand down"

The old man waved his hand slightly, and a force suddenly enveloped Yu Yingqiu's body, pushing his body out of the room.

syllable

Then the door closes.

"The two great golden pills in the Qin State have been recalled by the Xuanling Sect, and now the monarch is acting so unscrupulously, is there really something secret?"

The old man's eyes lit up slightly, and his face also showed a touch of greed, "Now that I will be four hundred years old, my cultivation is still in the early stage of Jindan, and if I don't break through, I will be hopeless for life, I hope this Great Qin can bring me some gains."

......

Night falls, and the moonlight envelops Yunjing.

In the sky above the brightly lit Yunjing City, a phantom shadow pierced the sky and flew towards the location of the royal city.

Sou

On the treetop of a large tree beside the walls of the royal city, a black figure landed.

"Is it really not as powerful as the Jindan level? Xuanling Sect is really completely withdrawn this time."

The figure flashed again and flew straight towards the palace.

In the royal study of the palace, Qin Hao and Zhang Juzheng were reviewing the folds together, and on the chair he was sitting on, the snow-white rabbit was sleeping on his stomach.

swish

Suddenly, the snow-white rabbit's blood-red eyes opened suddenly.

"Master, there is a strong person in the Jindan period who sneaks into the palace"

It speaks with a crisp voice, like that of a child of seven or eight years old.

"Jindan powerhouse?" Qin Hao raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is going to capture people" Zhang Juzheng got up.

"You sit down" Qin Hao shook his head slightly, and said to the little rabbit, "Yu'er, you go, catch it alive."

"Good"

The little rabbit nodded slightly, and then disappeared in a flash.

On the other side, the man in black was extremely fast, and it only took a few blinks of an eye to reach the sky above the palace.

He stood on top of a sword, his eyes indifferent to the gleaming palace below.

"Hey, that's"

Suddenly, the man in black's eyes lit up.

I saw a snow-white rabbit running through a courtyard in the palace below.

"It's so pure and powerful Taiyin breath, what kind of demon beast is that?"

"No, maybe it's not a demon beast, but a spirit beast, is this the confidence of the Qin State?"

"Go down and take a look, if it is really a Taiyin attribute spirit beast, it is the best tonic for me, refining it into an elixir and taking it will definitely make my cultivation skyrocket."

As soon as his mind moved, the flying sword under his feet flew towards the courtyard below.

The courtyard is quiet, the moon is sprinkled, and a little girl of seven or eight years old, extremely delicate, sits next to the pond, a pair of snow-white little feet in the water, alternately patting, splashing one after another.

"Well, where did that rabbit go?"

The black-robed man arrived, but he couldn't find any trace of the rabbit.

"Who is this little girl?"

He set his eyes on the little girl, but found that she didn't have any energy on her, she was just an ordinary person.

"Seeing that his clothes are so luxurious, he must not be a palace maid, could it be a princess?"

"She's here, she's sure to know the rabbit's whereabouts, and she'll take it and interrogate it."

The figure of the black-robed figure flashed beside the little girl, and a large hand grabbed at her neck without hesitation.

But what happened next was heartbreaking.

I saw that his outstretched hand was suddenly grabbed by something, and it was so stiff in the air, unable to enter or retract if he wanted to.

Not only his hands, but even his body was shrouded in a cold aura, and he instantly fell into a state of stiffness, unable to move at all.

And the little girl who originally seemed to him to be just a lamb to the slaughter, but now she raised her head and looked at him with big pink eyes, and a crisp child's voice came out of her mouth, "The waste in the early stage of Jindan dared to trespass into the palace?
