Chapter 258 A flash of inspiration

King Li Kangyan of Qingzhou stayed in Lingzhou for ten days.

The masters sent by the imperial court have already arrived at the Lingzhou government office, but he still seems to have no intention of leaving.

"My Lord, it's time for you to return to Qingzhou."

A middle-aged strong man in armor looked at Li Kangyan with helplessness.

After Emperor Xuanyang received Du Qinghui's secret letter, he immediately ordered General Zhaoyi of the Zhenxi Army, which was the closest, to lead his troops north to provide assistance.

Perhaps because he had stayed in Qingzhou for too many years, after Li Kangyan came to Lingzhou, he enthusiastically took Du Qinghui to visit all the scenic spots near Lingzhou.

He even specially called a painter from the Qingzhou Palace to paint a picture of a spring outing for the two of them.

It has a bit of the feel of a senior citizen tour group.

Li Kangyan glanced at General Zhaoyi impatiently.

But he also knew that he really couldn't stay there any longer.

His previous departure from Qingzhou could be considered an exception because the country was in trouble, but if he stayed any longer, his brother the Emperor would become suspicious.

The reason why King of Qingzhou can become the only remaining foreign king in Xuanyang, besides being powerful enough, the most important thing is that he knows how to reassure the one in Kyoto.

"Old Du, I can't leave Qingzhou, but you can leave Lingzhou. When the war is over, you need to come to Qingzhou for a month, just as a way of repaying the favor."

Du Qinghui: "I will accompany you."

As they talked, the two centenarians seemed to have become a lot younger.

General Zhaoyi Lu Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Kangyan finally leave.

After all, Li Kangyan is a prince, and all of this is Li family's business. If Li Kangyan insists on not leaving, he, as an outsider, can do nothing about it.

That night, Li Kangyan had a drink with Du Qinghui again.

In the early morning, they left Lingzhou surrounded by the guards of Qingzhou Palace.

Although Du Qinghui's injuries had not yet healed, his strength had largely recovered, and with General Zhaoyi of the Zhenxi Army came 800 heavily armored soldiers. Kui Dong would never confront him head-on in Lingzhou City.

After Li Kangyan left, Du Qinghui lost interest in going out and stayed indoors almost all day.

Lu Wu came to Lingzhou, saying that he was coming to help Lingzhou, but in fact he just wanted to protect Du Qinghui from being harmed. This also shows how much the emperor relied on this governor.

So, Lu Wu simply found a courtyard in the Du Mansion to live in.

This will also make it easier to protect Du Qinghui.

"Master Dong, I have long heard of your great name. Today I see that you are truly extraordinary."

Lu Wu raised his glass and said to Dong Wanjun.

Although he had never been to the Zhenbei Army, it did not prevent him from hearing of Dong Wanjun's name.

After all, there are not many Xuanyang people who can escape from the hands of the deputy leader of the Tianxin Sect and win the praise of everyone in Beiyuan.

As a soldier himself, he knew too well the importance of this.

Dong Wanjun also raised his glass: "General Lu, thank you for your praise."

Lu Wu is General Zhaoyi of the Zhenxi Army, a master of a third-rank martial arts school, on par with old man Dong.

In terms of strength, Lu Wu is naturally not as good as Du Qinghui, let alone Kui Dong.

The reason why the emperor sent Lu Wu to provide assistance was because of the 800 heavily armored soldiers under his command.

These eight hundred men are at least Blood Refining Masters, the elite among the elites, and their combined killing power is extremely terrifying.

Even if Kui Dong attacked again, with his and Dong Wanjun's strength and the eight hundred heavy armored soldiers together, they would be enough to deal with Kui Dong and those Soul-Chasing Tower killers in Lingzhou.

If the war in the west had not subsided recently, and if the emperor had not issued an imperial decree himself, the general who guards the west would not have taken this precious treasure to Lingzhou.

"Master Dong, is it true that monsters are everywhere in Beiyuan?"

After three cups of wine, Lu Wu asked curiously.

He had never been to Beiyuan. It could even be said that there were very few people in Xuanyang who had been to Beiyuan, not to mention a ruthless person like Dong Wanjun who had gone deep into Beiyuan.

Dong Wanjun nodded: "Compared to the Northern Plains, there are not that many monsters, demons, and barbarians. You can often only see their traces a hundred miles away."

It’s not that there are too few people and monsters, but that Beiyuan is too big.

Therefore, it was often ignored by Xuanyang for thousands of years. It was not until the Demon Sect integrated Beiyuan and moved south that Xuanyang people realized the horror of Beiyuan.

"I heard that the General Zhenbei is gathering troops."

There was a solemn look in Lu Wu's eyes.

Dong Wanjun hummed.

This was almost an open conspiracy, and General Zhenbei seemed to want to let the Demon Sect's strong men know on purpose, so that he could accomplish his goal in one fell swoop.

The decisive battle is coming, and what will be competed at that time is the wealth of Xuan Yang and the Demon Sect.

Fortunately, Xuanyang has been established for a thousand years. Although there are frequent invasions by foreign enemies, there are no external worries. This allows the General Zhenbei to be so relaxed.

Speaking of the war in the north.

Both fell into silence.

A decisive battle is always dangerous, and the outcome is unpredictable.

The General Zhenbei was still a little too hasty, but it seemed that anyone in his position would have to do the same.

It’s because the war in the North has been dragged on for too long.

The patience of the Xuanyang people has been exhausted.

Huanglong Mansion, Shenfu Gate.

"Brother Yuan~"

Xiao Qiaoniang looked at Bai Yuan standing at the gate of the courtyard and cheered.

It has been a full half month since Bai Yuan last went out, and he is missing her so much.

"came back."

Bai Yuan stroked Xiao Qiaoniang's hair with tenderness in his eyes.

Qiaojie is becoming more and more charming now. Even though Bai Yuan has seen many beautiful women, he still thinks Qiaojie is very beautiful.

It feels good to go home and have someone waiting for you.

The exhaustion of the past few days was swept away. Lingzhou was stable and no longer needed him, so he said goodbye to Du Qinghui and returned to Huanglong Mansion.

Bai Yuan took out a box of rouge from his arms.

He had heard that the rouge from Hongxiazhuang was the best, so he specially asked someone to buy it from Hongxiazhuang.

Xiao Qiaoniang looked at the rouge in Bai Yuan's hand and felt happy.

She felt that her man was really the best and never forgot her even when he was away from home.

Bai Yuan: "Qiaojie, I'll take a shower first."

"Well, I'll help you undress."

An hour later.

Bai Yuan walked out of the room refreshed, all the fatigue of the past few days disappearing.

Just when he was about to find Yu Hui to ask about the latest developments of Shenfu Sect, Yang Fangyu and Lu Yu showed up.

"You are finally back, come and tell us about Lingzhou."

As an eyewitness of that night, Yang Fangyu naturally knew that the battle was about the life and death of Lingzhou.

Now that the storm had passed, Bai Yuan felt there was no need to hide anything, and immediately told Yang Fangyu everything that had happened.

When they heard that Kui Dong had severely injured Du Qinghui, they both gasped.

Du Qinghui was able to become a second-rank official, so his strength was beyond doubt, and his Mingxin Pass couldn't be bad.

But he didn't expect to be seriously injured by a barbarian from Beiyuan.

If Dong Wanjun had not been strong enough to deal with the pangolin monster that caused the earth dragon to turn over, Du Qinghui would probably have been killed.

Of course, Bai Yuan was also very powerful. He killed three Soul-Chasing Tower assassins by himself.

Yang Fangyu felt inferior to him.

Thinking of this, Yang Fangyu couldn't help but look at Bai Yuan with the eyes of a monster.

When the two first met, their strength seemed to be not much different, but now Bai Yuan is more than capable of defeating three of them. He is truly abnormal.

Lu Yu saw Yang Fangyu's expression and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yeah!
It was this expression that he deeply agreed with.

The speed at which Bai Yuan's combat power increases is so terrifyingly fast.

Perhaps it won’t be long before I can reach Dong Wanjun’s level.

"What a pervert"*2
Amid the envious and jealous gazes of the two, Bai Yuan shrugged.

Do you blame me for being too good?
He has achieved what he has today through hard work and sacrifice.

Not long after Yang Fangyu and Lu Yu left, Zhou Siming and Liang E came to the door.

"Master, you are back."

Xiao Qiaoniang, who was in the house, heard Liang E's voice and hurried out.

In this world, the people who treated her best were Bai Yuan and Liang E.

She was accustomed to the fickleness of human nature when she was young, so she naturally cherishes those who truly care about her.

When Liang E saw Xiao Qiaoniang, the wrinkles on her brows relaxed a lot: "Qiaoniang, we just got back today."

"Your uncle Zhou has something to say to Xiao Yuan."

After spending some time together, she has come to accept Bai Yuan.

Who can not love a son-in-law who is both capable and good-tempered?

Hearing this, Bai Yuan and Xiao Qiaoniang looked at Zhou Siming with confusion.

Zhou Siming looked solemn. He took a deep breath and said, "Little Bai, don't you realize that there is an extremely terrifying monster hidden in Shenfu Mountain?"

After these words were spoken, Xiao Qiaoniang's face showed even more horror.

Those who can be called great monsters are at least above the seventh level monsters.

Naturally, after she followed Liang E to embark on the training of the monster hunter lineage, she had a much deeper understanding of monsters.

Although not as good as Zhou Siming's demon-hunting lineage, it is still much better than ordinary people.

But when she looked at Bai Yuan, she became even more confused, because Bai Yuan was not surprised at all.

Bai Yuan sighed softly.

As he had guessed, the great demon raccoon's strength could not be hidden from the truly powerful demon hunter.

"Seniors, Sister Qiao, I didn't mean to conceal this matter, but it involves too many people."

Zhou Siming narrowed his eyes slightly and interrupted what Bai Yuan was about to say.

"Since you already know, you don't have to tell us."

He has been through a lot and has a lot of experience. He knows very well that the more you know, the faster you die.

The level that Bai Yuan can access now is far beyond him and Liang E. Knowing too much is not a good thing for him, Liang E and Xiao Qiaoniang.

"Ah."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Since Zhou Siming didn't ask any more questions, he didn't say anything more.

As Zhou Siming said, there is no good in knowing too much.

The power of the great demon raccoon is related to the Divine Palace, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Currently, Bai Yuan is the only one who knows about the Divine Palace.

But after Zhou Siming's reminder, Bai Yuan suddenly had an idea.

Now his progress in imitating Zhu Yan in his demon acting skills has reached 50%. He has also gained a special ability, which is to transform himself into Zhu Yan. This ability is somewhat similar to that of the demon in Beiyuan.

Wanting this place, Bai Yuan couldn't help but have his eyes light up.

He had long been interested in the secrets within the Divine Palace.

If he could obtain the skills in the Divine Palace, his strength would surely increase dramatically!
