Chapter 731

"Are you going to come out by yourself, or do you want me to invite you out?" Fang Xiao asked loudly.

"We come out by ourselves, we come out by ourselves!"

The two cowering orangutans slowly came out of their hiding place.They knelt down on the ground in fear, touching their foreheads to the ground.

"Aside from the dead orangutan, are there any monsters with comparable cultivation?" Fang Xiao asked.

"Have!"

"No!" The two orangutans replied at the same time, but obviously, they did not speak in unison.

Fang Xiao raised his eyebrows, Zhuang Zhuang grinned at the two orangutans, showing his fangs.The two orangutans shivered at the same time, and said that one of the orangutans said: "The princess's cultivation base is originally the same as that of the king, but after the princess gave birth to the prince, her cultivation level dropped by one level. It was only yesterday that I finally improved. go back."

The orangutan who said no went on to say: "I just came back from the Tiger King, and I haven't come to see the princess in a hurry, so I don't know about it."

"Don't embarrass them, I'm the princess!" A tall chimpanzee, leading a group of orangutans, came out from the back mountain, glanced at the dead orangutan corpse, the princess did not show any anger look.It just glanced at the corpse on the ground, then looked at Zhuang Zhuang next to it, then set its gaze on Fang Xiao, and said: "As long as you return the king's demon pill to me, I will take my family away immediately!" Here, never come back."

"I don't need to occupy the mountain as king. Besides, it's not what I want to see you go to other places and harm other humans. You have eaten a lot of humans, especially you!" Fang Xiao pointed at the princess, and continued, "If you hadn't eaten a lot of humans, your cultivation would not be so easy to return to the current level."

"Isn't it just some ordinary mortals? I ate some. After a while, won't you humans have newborn babies? You are a monk, so you should know that immortals have other reasons." The princess Said with a light smile.

"They are just ordinary mortal beasts. How about exterminating them all, anyway, you will be able to give birth to many in the future." Fang Xiao pointed to a group of ordinary orangutans and the little orangutans in their arms.

"No, how can you guys compare with our monster clan!" The princess's eyes showed a fierce look, "Don't be ignorant, if we go together, you and your pet, plus an ordinary human, are not opponents! .”

"Really?" Fang Xiao replied lightly.

"If you have the ability, come up and try it!" The general had already regained his senses at this time, he pulled out the knife at his waist and pointed at the princess.

The eldest princess' eyes turned cold, and she took a step forward.The general did not show weakness, he took a step forward, and the knife in his hand sank, only to see the princess put one hand on the back of the general's knife.The general tried hard to support, but did not put down the knife in his hand.

Fang Xiao stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife, and there was a light click in the air. The princess stepped back a few steps, and the orangutans behind them shot together to stop the princess from continuing to retreat.

The princess's eyes were heavy, her eyes wandered back and forth between Fang Xiao and the general, and she sneered: "So you like such a mortal. What a pity, when he has silver hair, you will still look like you are now, facing his death , how should you deal with yourself. Moreover, I heard that you are the most important heir of mankind. As a cultivator, it is impossible for you to give birth to a son and a half for a mortal. At that time, there will definitely be countless Unclear woman, what should you do?"

Fang Xiao rubbed his nose and said, "Thinking too much makes you grow old quickly. It seems that your king often cuckolds you, otherwise, your understanding would not be so deep."

The big princess's eyes were red, it gritted its teeth, and said word by word: "If you continue to mess with this kid, my today is your future."

The general was dumbfounded when he heard that, he glanced at Fang Xiao, and saw that Fang Xiao ignored him, so he shouted: "Monster, don't try to sow discord, I, this fairy and I are not what you said at all."

"What kind of thing is that?" The princess showed a clear look.

Well, it's getting darker and darker.Fang Xiao raised his hand to interrupt the general, and looked at the princess: "Today, if I hadn't cultivated so much, you wouldn't have told me so much. Now, do you want to kill yourself or do you want me to take action?"

"We have common interests. I can give you the Orangutan Mountain, but you must let my family escape completely. Otherwise, once some people from my family escape, I swear, I will kill your people!" Kill them all." The princess also spoke harshly.

"That's it, let me not let any one go." Fang Xiao said lightly: "Originally, I wanted to keep one or two, so as not to destroy all of you. It seems that you are not willing to let go Pass your people." Fang Xiao suddenly raised his hand, and countless sword lights flew up, and amidst the whizzing sound, the orangutans fell down in response, and a flash of sword light swept across, except for the princess, none of them could breathe.

The princess's eyes were bloodshot, and she pointed at Fang Xiao and shouted loudly: "I know who you are, you are the one who killed the demon king!"

"Congratulations! You got the answer right!" Fang Xiao clapped his palms, and then killed the princess with a sword.

The general was stunned. It was so easy to wipe out all these orangutans. Their sacrifices were not worth it.

"Why?" The general's eyes were full of tears. His brother, his comrade, died so unworthily, which made it difficult for him to accept.

"Because you went to kill the demon king, so you didn't rush to save us?" The general looked at Fang Xiao expectantly.Fang Xiao was silent and did not speak.

"Thank you! I'm sorry, I, I shouldn't have said that to you, I'm sorry! Thank you! Thank you! If it weren't for you, human beings would be out of ten." The general covered his eyes, sobbing.Fang Xiao sighed softly and opened the passage back. The two are now in Ancheng.

"General!"

"General!"

The soldiers guarding the city shouted excitedly.When they saw their general's red eyes, they were all dumbfounded. They didn't know what happened to make their general be in such a state.

The general raised his hand, glanced at the soldiers under the city, closed his eyes, and said loudly: "Just now, this fairy killed our enemy, that chimpanzee for us. And also killed the population of that chimpanzee. , to avenge our brothers and relatives. From today, I am willing to guard Ancheng for this fairy all my life until my life comes to an end. Brothers, I voluntarily step down as a general. You are willing to go home Yes, just go home, and no chimpanzee will come to trouble you again."

"The general, my family, all died at the hands of the chimpanzee. I am willing to follow the general and protect Ancheng together." A man dressed as a lieutenant stood up.

"I have no family anymore, I am willing to follow the general!" Another person stood up.

"Although I still have a younger brother in my family, I am willing to take my younger brother to guard Ancheng to thank the general and fairy for saving their lives." Someone said.

"Yes, yes, the fairy has avenged us, and I am willing to take my family to protect Ancheng together."

Qian Mingdai frowned, and whispered to Fang Xiao: "No way, Ancheng is only so big, and they have thousands of people. If they bring their families together, there will be no fewer than 10 people. Ancheng can't accommodate so many people. what!"

"Let this matter be handled by the general. Ancheng needs to be rebuilt. If there are too many people, it will be expanded. In the future, Ancheng will definitely become a metropolis." Fang Xiao doesn't think so.The benefits of having more people.Although Ancheng is not big, there are still many places outside the city, and it is a big deal to expand the city.She looked at the general, who nodded and said, "Fairy, don't worry, my army, I will settle them down. When their family members come, I will let them build their own camp near the army, so they won't disturb the city." of the residents."

Fang Xiao spread his hands at Qian Mingdai: "The problem is solved, I have to go back to find Du Dong and the others, they are still practicing. If there is anything, just let me know."

"Fairy, wait!" The general called Fang Xiao who was about to fly away. He looked at Qian Mingdai and Qian Mingzhu, and said, "Our army is far more than just sweeping around. I'm a monster clan, some of them are fighting for their own territory. Although, I am confident that I can defend Ancheng, but with the decline of the royal family of the previous dynasty, many new kingdoms have been established. I don't know if the fairy wants to build a new kingdom by himself. Or plan to seek refuge in another kingdom."

Seeing Fang Xiao raised his eyebrows, the general stopped for a while, and then said: "As the fairy said, Ancheng will definitely become a big city in the future. With the development of Ancheng, it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of other people. At that time, even if it is The fairy is not afraid, but what about the people in the city? They still need a stable support."

"You have also heard the words of the princess. I am different from you. After all, I will not show up often. The development of Ancheng still depends on you. The future will be up to the general and Qian Ming." Dai, you guys have discussed and dealt with it yourself, but I won't participate."

While talking, a message talisman flew in front of Fang Xiao. Fang Xiao took the message talisman, and Du Dong's voice came from inside: "Master, we are on our way back. By chance, Xiao Liu and Xiao Guo both After reaching the Great Consummation of Qi training, we will advance to the foundation building stage at any time. To be on the safe side, we decided to go back to Ancheng to advance." A brief passage made Fang Xiao smile.She was not in a hurry to leave.Come to think of it, Du Dong and the others would be able to rush back to Ancheng in at most five days with the two little girls.She just found a good place for them in Ancheng, so that they can advance with confidence.

Fang Xiao leaped into the air at once, looking around at the direction of the mountains near Ancheng. She wanted to arrange a good formation for Xiao Liu and Xiao Lan so that they would not be disturbed when they advanced.There are actually three spiritual veins buried under a mountain range on the left, which meets her requirements.Fang Xiao turned and flew towards the mountain range, and began to draw symbols and arrange them.

The general and Qian Mingdai looked at each other.The general took the lead in cupping his hands at Qian Mingdai, and said: "In the past, we had no choice but to attack Ancheng. I apologize to you on behalf of the soldiers. We are not acquainted with each other. From today on, we will definitely Defend Ancheng and prevent anyone from invading Ancheng. I will lead the soldiers to guard the barracks outside the city."

"Hmph, if you want to fight, you can fight. If you can't beat my fairy, you come to please me again. We don't care about it!" Qian Mingzhu said angrily.

"Mingzhu, don't be rude, come here and apologize to the general!" After hearing the explanation just now, Qian Mingdai could also understand the general's actions, although he also felt that these people who attacked Ancheng would not be acceptable for a while , However, Fairy didn't object, so he couldn't say anything.Besides, everyone is a victim, if you want to blame, you can only blame the culprit - Yaozu.

"Brother Lin, the one who brought us water, died under their arrows yesterday. Brother, I, I feel bad!" Qian Mingzhu said, her eyes turned red.

The general's face is not very good-looking, there is no one who will not die in a war.Many of their people also died under the arrows of Ancheng guards. Could it be that they still have to kill all those guards?The general was silent, then cupped his hands and said, "Miss Qian, we were also threatened by the demon clan, so we came to attack the city. Now the demon clan that threatened us has been killed by the fairy. Our relatives are safe, and we will not do it again." That kind of thing of taking orders from others. Please understand our last resort, miss."

Qian Mingdai sighed, grabbed Qian Mingzhu who was about to make trouble again, and said, "I can understand what the general said. If you want to blame, you can only blame the monster race. If it weren't for them, we would all be fine. General Also give us a little more time, we need time to adapt..."

The general nodded and sighed.Turned around and went down the city wall.Returning to his team, he began to organize the army, leaving a group of people on duty at the gate of the city, while the others withdrew ten miles away from the city and set up camp.

Half a month later, someone came to report that the grand aunt of the Qian family had come home to visit her relatives.Qian Mingdai and Qian Mingzhu were stunned for a moment, unable to figure out where the eldest aunt of the Qian family came from.Steward Qian Er's eyes lit up, and he mentioned Miss Tongtong.The two brothers and sisters of the Qian family suddenly understood.Every year, the major Zhuangzi of the Qian family would distribute part of their income as tribute to the palace, which had become a practice.In the past two years, things have happened one after another. The brothers and sisters of the Qian family almost forgot that there is another eldest daughter of the Qian family in the palace.

Qian Mingdai hurriedly called Qian Mingzhu to go out to meet him.I saw three dilapidated carriages parked in front of the Qian Mansion.Tong Tong hugged a two-year-old girl and jumped out of the second carriage.The little girl looked at Qian Mingdai and Qian Mingzhu timidly.From the third carriage, four women in palace attire jumped down. The woman took a small horse tie from the carriage and placed it in front of the carriage. .

Qian Mingzhu's eyes widened, because the person dressed as a noble lady was none other than Concubine Zhuang.Concubine Zhuang looked up at the gate of the Qian Mansion, nodded, and then looked at the brothers and sisters of the Qian family waiting at the gate, and said, "It's not the first time we've met, let's go in and talk!" The master of the Qian family was ordinary, and with the support of the little maid, he walked into the gate of the Qian mansion first.Qian Mingdai was stunned for a moment, pulled Qian Mingzhu closer, stretched out his hand to Tongtong as a gesture of invitation, and also entered the gate of Qian's house.The servants drove the carriage and entered Qian's mansion through the side door.

In the flower hall, Concubine Zhuang sat on the main seat, and the servants immediately served tea.Seeing this, Qian Mingdai waved his hand and let the servants go down first.The maids and women in the palace stood behind Concubine Zhuang and did not move.Qian Mingzhu supported Tong Tong and followed in. She generously opened a chair and asked Tong Tong to sit down too.

Cough, a woman next to Concubine Zhuang cleared her throat.Tongtong's face turned pale, and she immediately stood up holding the little girl, intending to stand behind Concubine Zhuang.Qian Mingzhu grabbed Tongtong, and said sweetly: "Sister, this is in our house. It's the same way in the palace. You hug the little niece and sit quietly." Concubine Zhuang didn't say anything. , the mother-in-law who just coughed, but her face collapsed, she took a step forward and said: "Miss Qian, the princess has married as a royal wife, no matter where she is, she should abide by the royal rules, otherwise, she will disregard the royal face." gone."

"Is it the rule of your royal family to occupy the head of someone else's house and grab the conversation without waiting for the master to speak? This is the first time I have seen such a royal rule." Qian Mingzhu said crisply.

The mother-in-law choked, and just about to speak again, Qian Mingzhu scrambled to say: "This is our Qian's house, not the palace, and you can follow it after returning to your palace. You come to my Qian's house, you are here Visiting relatives? I still came out to play. I’m not talking about you, my little niece is not yet three years old, so I’m not afraid of exhausting my little niece after such a long journey. Mommy Luo, hurry up and bring some pastries to my little niece. Niece, the rice flower cake that was just steamed today is soft and glutinous, and it’s delicious.” Qian Mingzhu doesn’t care about the rules or irregularities, the appearance of this group of people seems to be visiting relatives, and they are putting on airs. Just get angry.

"Little sister!" Qian Mingdai yelled in a deep voice, looked at Tongtong with a smile, pushed the pastry brought by Mother Luo towards the little girl, and said, "Your aunt is right, this pastry is delicious. tasty."

When Concubine Zhuang saw the Qian brothers and sisters and left her aside, she felt a little uncomfortable.Just now the woman stood up again, she looked at the Qian family brothers and sisters, and asked: "The fairy that your family enshrines, why didn't you see her come to welcome Zhuang Concubine!"

"Ha, you also know that my family is a fairy, how could it be possible to see you mortals casually?" Qian Mingzhu mockingly looked at Concubine Zhuang and her several attendants who were putting on airs.

Concubine Zhuang's face was dull and somewhat ugly.

"Young Master Qian, there are troops approaching this direction, and they have set up camp ten miles away. I don't know if they are coming for our Ancheng. We will send people to investigate, and you are also ready to fight at any time." General Liu did not know. Chuan, striding in, seeing the person sitting on the main seat, stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "I didn't know you had guests at home, but the military situation is urgent, you should make preparations as soon as possible, I will go first It's gone." General Liu these days, tried not to disturb the lives of the people in the city, but he still kept in touch with Qian Mingdai at any time, and became acquainted with Qian's mansion.

Now, General Liu no longer needs to communicate when he enters and exits the Qian Mansion, it is as free as entering and exiting his own courtyard.Seeing a stranger visiting in the main hall, although General Liu felt a little strange, but the military situation was urgent, and General Liu didn't rush to ask more questions. He just gave Qian Mingdai a few words and left in a hurry.

Hearing the words just now, Concubine Zhuang suddenly became nervous.Although she didn't show it on the face, those white knuckles betrayed her current mood.Qian Mingdai immediately understood who the troops stationed were targeting.

Qian Mingdai looked at Concubine Zhuang and her group, and asked, "Don't you want to explain?"

Concubine Zhuang pursed her lips tightly and did not intend to speak.The woman next to Concubine Zhuang winked at the woman who spoke just now, and the woman stood up just now and said: "Speaking of which, it was also caused by the Crown Princess..."

"Shut up!" Qian Mingdai glared at the woman, "Master, you don't have the right to interrupt." After speaking, Qian Mingdai looked at Concubine Zhuang again, "Now there is a large army stationed outside. It will cause harm to Ancheng. You have caused such a big hidden danger to Ancheng, can't you get a word of truth from you?"

Concubine Zhuang's face turned pale, she stood up abruptly, and said softly: "Yes, we were forced to come to Ancheng. However, it is also true that those people were attracted by your aunt." See Qian There was a look of sarcasm on Ming Dai's face, Zhuang Concubine pursed her lips, and said: "Your aunt, someone sends a lot of money every year, although she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but her publicity attracts people. The pack of wolves looked around. Now, there are only some old and weak women and children left in the palace. She lived in such a high-profile way that the palace was stormed. In order to let us escape safely, all the guards in the palace..." Zhuang The concubine took a deep breath, and seemed to be unable to speak.

Qian Mingdai listened expressionlessly.Tong Tong suddenly stood up, hugging her daughter, complaining, "Aren't you useless for my money? If it wasn't for my money, you would have been able to afford food and clothing these past few years? If it wasn't for my money, Can you afford those guards in the palace? If it weren't for my money, you could still afford these nuns and maids, and still keep your mother's noble demeanor? You have been kicked out of the palace a long time ago. But you What? You eat mine, wear mine, use mine, and want me to hand over all the income to you to manage. In the end, you want to sell me to those bastards outside? What you do is all human affairs ?"

Seeing Tongtong's red eyes, Qian Mingdai raised his eyebrows. Every time he sent someone to send money into the palace, he never mentioned such a thing. Does Tongtong really regard Ancheng as her home? ?She was the one who wanted to leave at the beginning, but now she was the one who attracted the wolves, and she was wronged.At the beginning, if Mingzhu had entered the palace, maybe the result would have been different. At least, with her skills, she would definitely not be bullied by a prince in the palace.If Mingzhu was wronged, she would definitely find a way to inform his elder brother, and the fairy would also bring Mingzhu out of the palace.Today's troubles will not arise.It's too late to think about these things.Qian Mingdai just stared at Concubine Zhuang, and asked, "Is it true that you want to sell my sister to those bastards?"

Concubine Zhuang turned her head and said nothing, which was her acquiescence.

Qian Mingdai sneered and said: "How do you have such a face, come to me to seek asylum? Do you really think you are the high-ranking imperial concubine back then? Now there are conflicts in the world, and the royal family does not exist. Your situation, You should think clearly. Somebody, take my aunt back to her own room, and Miss Biao, together." Qian Mingdai took Tong Tong and his wife away first, so that he could deal with Concubine Zhuang and her group.

The mother-in-law next to Concubine Zhuang suddenly panicked and shouted: "The princess is a royal, how can you take her away casually?"

"Princess? She is just the cousin of my Qian family. What kind of princess is she? My Qian family is willing to take them in. You should all burn incense and worship Buddha." Qian Mingzhu left with Tongtong. Before leaving, she heard the words of her mother-in-law, Immediately I lost my temper.Listen to what's being said?In their eyes, only the little girl, the little girl's mother, has been completely ignored by them.However, they don't understand at all, whose territory they are talking about now.

"you……"

The mother-in-law wants to say more.General Liu's lieutenant ran in, and he whispered something into Qian Mingdai's ear, Qian Mingdai's brows furrowed deeply.He rushed down and waved to the people: "Take them down and take care of them first."

Qian Mingdai led the people and hurried outside.The mother-in-law and court ladies around Concubine Zhuang were taken to the side room by the servants.When the servant took out the key and was opening the door, the woman next to Concubine Zhuang suddenly pushed the servant hard.The servant was unprepared and was pushed against the door of the room. With a bang, he passed out on the spot.Seeing that something happened, the servants behind him immediately surrounded him.The remaining wives around Concubine Zhuang took the opportunity to knock away the wives surrounding them. Concubine Zhuang, pulled by the palace servants, got out of the crowd and ran towards the gate of the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran to the gate of the courtyard, Qian Mingzhu had already led people to guard the gate.Qian Mingzhu said with a cold face: "Ms. Concubine Zhuang, why did you come here and leave in a hurry?" A tall maid beside Qian Mingzhu stood in the middle of the courtyard gate with a thick stick in both hands, just right Concubine Zhuang who ran over was blocked at the door.

"You, why are you here? Where's my princess?" The little maid turned her eyes and asked Tongtong's whereabouts instead, "Where did you hide my princess and little princess? Hurry up and get them out of here." Hand it over."

"Haha! Leave it to you, so that I can be your hostage?" Qian Mingzhu sneered, "Or, after a long time, I feel that everyone else is a fool? You have attracted those troops outside, and you want my Qian family to take it for you , but I want to run away, there is no such cheap thing in this world."

"The soldiers want your aunt and grandma. It has nothing to do with our concubine Zhuang. If she hadn't behaved less frugally and seduced the soldiers, we would have to leave the palace and run to this remote mountainous area. Come?" The little maid said angrily.

"You dare to slander my sister in front of me. You are brave enough. This is fine. When those bastards ask us for someone, I will hand you over to them first."

"Do you dare?" The little palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Qian Mingzhu didn't want to say anything more to these confused people, so she waved her hand, and the maids behind her came forward, pushed Concubine Zhuang and the little maid into the side room.The door was locked with a big lock, Qian Mingzhu hung the key on her waist, and then turned and went to the city wall.

Qian Mingdai held a telescope and looked at the situation in the distance with a frown.Qian Mingzhu reached out and pulled Qian Mingdai's sleeve, puffed her cheeks and said, "How does brother know they are dishonest? Hmph, you want to leave us and run away alone after causing trouble. You really have a bad heart."

"The army was obviously chasing them. Along the way, they only chased them, and they seemed to want to see what support they had behind them. However, they didn't expect that there would be a defender in Ancheng. It depends on General Liu How did you negotiate with them?" Qian Mingdai said.

"How about, let's invite the fairy to come out. The fairy only needs to swing the sword, and it will definitely scare the shit out of those bastards!" Qian Mingzhu waved her small fist.

"Don't go to Fairy to solve everything. Fairy is not on the same road as us. She will leave here sooner or later. We should learn to rely on our own strength." Qian Mingdai criticized Qian Mingzhu.

"If only I could cultivate immortality, then I will use my strength to protect everyone." Qian Mingzhu squeezed her fingertips.

"We still have a chance. The fairy said that as long as we can maintain our health well, we will try to hit the Xiantian realm next time. If we succeed, we will be able to take that step." Qian Mingdai is still quite optimistic.

"Brother is right." Qian Mingzhu said insincerely, "By the way, brother, what did General Liu say, how many people from the army over there, do we have a chance of winning?"

Speaking of this, Qian Mingdai's face turned ugly, "There is still an increase in troops over there, and the exact number is not clear, but, as far as the current number is concerned, it is already comparable to the number of General Liu and the others. If there is a real fight , our odds of winning are at most no more than [-]%. If possible, it is better to negotiate."

"Why don't we hand over Concubine Zhuang and the others. Anyway, they don't have good intentions." Qian Mingzhu said.

"From the current point of view, the other party may be targeting Tongtong and us. Even if Concubine Zhuang is handed over, it will not help." Qian Mingdai sighed.

"Are you really going to fight this inexplicable fight for that concubine Zhuang?" Qian Mingzhu asked urgently.

"I will discuss with General Liu to see if we can negotiate peace. If we can negotiate, it is better to pay some money than to let General Liu's men go to fight. Don't worry about this matter. Remember, unless you have to, don't worry about it." Go trouble the fairy. Now is the critical period for Xiao Liu and Xiao Lan to build their foundations, so it's best not to disturb them."

"Understood!" Qian Mingzhu walked away somewhat disconcerted.
