Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 678 The Dark Night
Princess Ankang assigned tasks to everyone and told them to go and come back quickly and be careful on the road.

"Captain, what should we do with Tie Niu?"

"He's still with us now."

"I'm afraid he won't be able to survive if he joins us, right?"

Wei Zhen asked Princess Ankang.

Tie Niu is just an ordinary child, it is impossible for him to follow them in the world.

Their mission was already dangerous, and if they had to take care of Tie Niu on the road, that would be really asking too much.

"Ask someone to send him back to the capital."

"His affairs in Jiaozhou City have been resolved, and he is now a free man."

"Let him find a job in the Red Scarf Team first. If he wants to learn some martial arts, you can teach him some."

Tie Niu is just a poor child, and all Princess Ankang can do is to give him a chance.

As for whether Tie Niu can seize this opportunity, it depends on himself.

If he doesn't want to stay in the Red Turban Team in the future, Princess Ankang will leave with him.

Saving a life is saving a life, but there is no need to take on someone else's life as well.

Princess Ankang has seen a lot of things in the world now, so she doesn't worry too much about these details.

"Yes, Captain."

Wei Zhen accepted the order.

All of them received a mission on this trip, but they all had to deliver the message to different places.

Fourth-rank masters like Wei Zhen were arranged to go to those important martial arts holy places.

However, Wei Zhen had a special identity and was also a hunting officer, so Princess Ankang sent him to the nearest martial arts holy land and asked him to come back and report as soon as possible.

After all, Emperor Yongyuan might still be able to use Wei Zhen.

As for the others, they all voluntarily participated in this dangerous action to secretly fight against King Zheng's forces.

But even so, Princess Ankang didn't want them to take too many risks. This time, the task of spreading the news about Thousand Vine Demon Princess was actually enough.

Otherwise, Princess Ankang would feel guilty if she let the members of the Red Turban Team charge to the front line.

No matter how you look at it, this is a mess that the imperial court should deal with.

It would be a bit unreasonable if the imperial court did not do anything at a time like this and relied entirely on these chivalrous men in the martial arts world.

Princess Ankang herself is a member of the royal family and believes that she has an obligation, but others do not, especially the chivalrous men who joined the Red Scarf Team with great enthusiasm. Now is far from the time when they are required to be at the forefront.

The imperial court is not wiped out. There are still so many masters in the palace. It will never be their turn.

Everyone in the Red Scarf Team was very excited after receiving such an important task.

Even the hunting officers were like this.

In the past, they hunted in various dangerous places and had rarely dealt with people from the underworld.

This time they were going to travel around all the underworld forces in Daxing and spread the news about Thousand Vine Demon Princess, so they were naturally very excited.

As for the young heroes in the martial arts world, they felt like they were participating in a big event, and they even had a sense of being the protagonists of a story.

Among them, Chen Tan and Jiang Shanao were the happiest, with their eyes shining.

They were also the focus of attention in the Red Scarf Team. Now that they finally had some space to move freely, they were naturally happy.

But we dare not let them just leave.

Chen Tan knew that if Prince Zheng was not removed, he would have no peace for the rest of his life, and the Money Gang would have to be handed over to others.

Jiang Shanao, on the other hand, has some backbone. Although he has always been a fugitive, he also cares about the people and the country.

Moreover, he had previously thought that he could not be locked up in a cell, but after he witnessed the horror of the Ministry of Justice's prison, he realized that there are always people better than you and there are always mountains higher than you.

Now that he has a chance to clear his name, he must seize it.

Otherwise, if he were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice again one day, he would not have the confidence to try to escape from prison.

After all, he witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Bilge was almost beaten to death while escaping from prison that day.

The capital city is different from other places. A random stone thrown down can hit a third-rank master.

Considering his small physique as a fourth-rank official, it would be better for him not to act rashly.

Seeing that the task had been arranged, Princess Ankang said goodbye to the members of the Red Scarf Team and wished them a safe journey.

Then, she returned to Emperor Yongyuan and reported all the specific matters one by one.

"Father, I have sent the Red Turban Team to spread the news about the Thousand Vine Demon Princess."

"I think the news of the return of the Thousand Vine Demon Princess will soon spread throughout the martial arts world."

"With the Red Scarf Team acting as a middleman, I think those famous sects will react."

"If there is no one to lead the operation to encircle and suppress Qian Teng Mo Ji by then, I will call on the heroes of the martial arts world in the name of the Red Scarf Team Captain and the Royal Princess, and then offer a large reward, and then it will surely succeed."

Princess Ankang's words were powerful.

Emperor Yongyuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

With Li Xuan in Jingyang Palace, there is no shortage of financial resources.

With the temptation of fame and fortune, it will definitely become a hot topic in the world.

The enemies of Qian Teng Mo Ji will not sit idly by and watch such a great opportunity slip away, and they will certainly work hard.

Doing so against Qian Teng Mo Ji was just a by-product. The main purpose was to continue to put pressure on King Zheng so that his men would not dare to show up easily.

How many people who can work with Qian Teng Mo Ji are good people?

King Zheng only promoted people based on their talents, without considering their moral character, which naturally led to such a result.

After all, people with a bit of moral cleanliness cannot get along with evil people.

"It's not easy for Yan Zhao to take part in this matter, so I'll leave it to you to arrange."

Emperor Yongyuan gave instructions to Princess Ankang.

Emperor Yongyuan was not in a position to interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world, otherwise the holy land of martial arts would be taboo and would not dare to take action against Qian Teng Mo Ji.

It has been a tacit understanding since ancient times that the holy land of martial arts does not get involved in dynastic disputes, and anyone who breaks the rules will have a hard time being held accountable.

"Ankang, go down and rest early."

"We have to continue our journey tomorrow."

Emperor Yongyuan said to Princess Ankang.

"My son, please retire."

Princess Ankang bowed and took Li Xuan out of Emperor Yongyuan's room.

At this time, the moon was hanging high in the sky, and its silver light covered the ground, making the night as bright as day.

"What a beautiful night."

Princess Ankang caressed Li Xuan in her arms and sighed as she looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

……

A hidden forest outside Bailu County.

There is a bonfire burning here, and many people are sitting or lying down to rest beside the bonfire.

Among them, a middle-aged scholar was quite eye-catching.

He was wearing a starched robe that was clean and tidy, but had obviously been worn for many years.

The middle-aged scholar had a neatly trimmed short beard and looked gentle and refined, more like a teacher in a school.

He occupied the best position by the campfire, sitting on a flat wooden stake, flipping through a book with relish in the light of the campfire.

The four characters "Legend of Destiny" were written on the cover of the book.

At this time, someone hurried to the campfire, wearing a large black cloak.

"Mr. Bai."

The visitor bowed to the middle-aged scholar.

His enjoyment of reading was disturbed, but he was not angry. He just put the book away with some regret and looked at the person who came.

"There is still no news about the three ghosts of Hanhe. I have inquired in Jiaozhou City."

"Something did happen at the government office last night, but it was soon over, and I heard that Jiang Pu was safe and sound. It seems that the sects around Jiaozhou City intervened in this matter."

After hearing this, Mr. Bai couldn't help but sigh: "That is to say, their three missions failed."

The person who reported the incident did not say much, but waited for Mr. Bai's further instructions. "Three third-rank officials couldn't take Jiang Pu's head, so how many people protected him last night?"

"I have never heard of a second-grade master near Jiaozhou City."

Mr. Bai shook his head slightly.

"I'm afraid there are some reasons for this, but it's really strange that the three ghosts of Hanhe didn't come back to report. After all, apart from some movement in the government office last night, the area around Jiaozhou City was very quiet and there was nothing unusual."

The person who reported the case investigated very carefully.

The three ghosts of Hanhe should have returned to report this morning, but they have not returned yet.

Therefore, Mr. Bai sent the fastest man among them to Jiaozhou City to check the situation, and he brought back this news.

With the strength of the Three Ghosts of Hanhe, they can walk around Jiaozhou City with ease.

When the three brothers join forces, they are even capable of competing with second-grade warriors.

Even if all the large and small sects around Jiaozhou City are added together, there may not be one second-grade one.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Besides, Jiang Pu doesn’t have the face to invite such a master.

Mr. Bai did not avoid other people in the conversation.

The people who were originally resting by the campfire gradually sat up and gathered together.

"The three ghosts of Hanhe wouldn't mess up their job and run away just because they're afraid of being blamed by Mr. Bai, right?"

Someone speculated.

"These three are not fools!"

Someone nearby glared at the person who spoke, and then immediately looked at Mr. Bai's expression.

Some of them have made it a habit to speak without thinking and dare to say anything.

They are all servants of Prince Zheng's Palace. They are usually busy with their own things and rarely act together.

However, the circumstances of this southern tour were special, and those who were able to put aside their work rushed over to prevent Emperor Yongyuan from doing anything bad to Prince Zheng.

It’s just that they are all used to their own freedom, and there are always frictions when they get along with each other.

To put it bluntly, this group of people are like stars in the sky when they are scattered, but like a pile of shit when they are together.

It was only because Mr. Bai was keeping the situation under control, otherwise some of them would have started fighting among themselves.

"Mr. Bai, I'm afraid something has happened to the three ghosts of Hanhe."

"Should we send someone to look for them?"

Someone who knew the situation asked.

"Alas, I'm afraid I've fallen into a trap again."

"Before this, Zhu Wufeng and Huo Lao disappeared one after another. They must have been tricked by the Dog Emperor."

"The dog emperor can even take down Huo Lao, let alone the three brothers."

"Sending more people to rescue will only cause more losses."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

The disappearance of Zhu Wufeng and Huo Lao was a thorn in the hearts of all of them.

Let’s not talk about Zhu Wufeng for now, but Old Huo was one of the most powerful priests in Prince Zheng’s palace. As a result, he lost contact quietly, which made everyone else panic.

There was even a big disturbance inside the Prince Zheng's Palace, which led to constant conflicts among some of the worshippers.

If it weren't for the pressure from King Zheng, big problems would have arisen long ago.

But now that Prince Zheng was isolated in the southern tour team, it was difficult for them to get any news in.

Lu Ji had been seriously injured before and had been recuperating.

Until she fully recovered, they had no way to contact King Zheng.

"Mr. Bai, we have been guarding nearby for the past few days, and the experts around the Dog Emperor have not moved. Is there something wrong?"

They are now following the southern tour team obediently because Emperor Yongyuan is always accompanied by masters from the palace.

These palace masters usually protect the safety of Emperor Yongyuan, but if they realize that their side's strength is insufficient, they will definitely take action immediately.

By then, King Zheng would be in danger.

If they fail to provide timely support, King Zheng may even be in danger of death.

By then, decades of planning would be in vain.

Emperor Yongyuan was afraid of being beheaded, and so was Prince Zheng.
Mr. Bai didn't say anything, just thought deeply.

But even if he didn't say it, everyone else already had an answer in their hearts.

There are masters around Emperor Yongyuan, and they are at least second-grade masters who are proficient in the use of Tao realm, otherwise there is no way to capture the three ghosts of Hanhe alive.

This conjecture made them all swallow their saliva.

Among those present, those at the second rank were in the minority after all, and most of them were at the third rank realm.

Some people's strength is not even as good as any of the three ghosts of Hanhe, so their sense of crisis is particularly strong.

They originally thought that this was a fight they were sure to win, but now they are the disadvantaged side.

The campfire became increasingly silent, with only the occasional crackling sound from the burning wood, which would send a few sparks flying everywhere, then slowly fall down and die out into a little ashes.

In the shadows farther away from the campfire, Lu Ji was resting on Chun Jun's broad back.

Chunjun looked at the silent people sitting around the campfire and couldn't help but sigh.

They were not like this before, but now they are getting worse.

"What are you sighing for so late at night?"

"Are you still going to let me sleep?"

Lu Ji said impatiently, and slapped Chun Jun hard.

After recuperation, her appearance has returned to normal and her voice is not as weak anymore.

Chunjun was like a big rock and didn't care at all about Luji's beating on him.

"Three more are gone. Something has happened to the Three Ghosts of Hanhe." Chunjun said.

"The three brothers were not good people to begin with. It's God's will that they are gone."

Lu Ji said casually, and turned her body to make herself more comfortable.

Chunjun was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"But we are not that good either."

Lu Ji was not annoyed after hearing this. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Our retribution will come. I guess it's not far away."

"I'm going to sleep, stop bothering me."

After Lu Ji finished speaking, she said no more and fell asleep in an instant.

Chunjun remained silent, looking at the people around the campfire, and agreed with Lu Ji's words in his heart.

Look at himself, then look at Midoriki.

In all these years, they have never suffered such serious injuries.

Perhaps, this is the sign of the so-called retribution.

Chunjun didn't think any more about it. He also closed his eyes and meditated to rest like Luji.

The two of them are already the remnants of a defeated army. Even if Mr. Bai has plans for the future, he will have to wait until their injuries are healed.

Therefore, they didn't care that Mr. Bai would suddenly come to them, and they rested and recovered their strength.

……

Early the next morning.

The southern tour team set out on the journey again.

It has been quite some time since the southern tour began.

At this time, they were not far from the first important destination on their southern tour.

Luodong City.

This place, which almost became the new capital of Daxing, would be the first city where Emperor Yongyuan would stay for many days during his southern tour.

The civil and military officials of Luodong City were also eagerly awaiting the arrival of the southern tour team.

This place is of vital importance to Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng.
