"The Gun King is heroic and righteous, and so are his family members..." Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Be kind to them."
Shentu said solemnly: "I will definitely do my best. I would also like to thank the prince for giving me this opportunity."
"Okay, okay, Shentu Li, you have impressed me even more. In this case... I know that you are very specialized in cavalry, but I also have a book on cavalry, so I gave it to you. I hope you will read it carefully and take it." The essence of it.”
Shentu Li was immediately overjoyed. As a general, he had long heard that the prince in front of him was the god of the art of war, and his brilliant achievements proved it. If he gave him the art of war, he would be even more powerful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I dare not repay you with your life for your kindness!"
Shentu Li stood up and knocked his head heavily on the ground.
"Get up, get up, have a drink with me!"
Jiang Fan was very happy. These things showed that Shentu Li was a man of great loyalty and magnanimity. It was really a blessing to get such a general.

Jiang Fan didn't plan to stay in the fief for too long. Jiang Fan originally wanted to go to Paradise, but when he remembered that Jincheng didn't come to see him, he felt that there must be a reason. Moreover, Xiao Cui said that it's best to keep a low profile recently. After thinking about it, Decided to go home and continue enjoying the wonderful vacation.
Before leaving, he met Meng Nu.
"My lord, have you finally given up on searching for the corpse?" Meng Nu seemed to be debating whether to stay or not.
"I can't find it." Jiang Fan looked helpless, "As you know, we searched hundreds of miles around for half a month and found nothing. I can't always waste time here. By the way. , how do you plan?"
Meng Nu thought for a long time: "I have not completed the task..."
Jiang Fan looked at her: "Will I be punished if I go back?"
"Yes." Meng Nu didn't hide it at all: "The Huangquan Sect has strict rules, and the city lord's orders are like military orders."
"Military order..." Jiang Fan smiled softly: "I remember that there was once a Huangquan Army. I wonder if it has anything to do with your Huangquan Sect."
"No!" Meng Nu said simply: "The Huangquan Sect is the Huangquan Sect, and the Huangquan Army is the Huangquan Army."
"Oh...it seems like I'm overthinking it. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Meng Nu hesitated for a while and finally gritted her teeth: "I want to return to the sect."
"Aren't you afraid of punishment?"
"I'm afraid, but it's not finished until it's completed. Now that you've given up, what kind of power can I have? Even if I find it, I can't deal with it. The power of the king puppet is completely beyond imagination."
Jiang Fan also sighed: "Yeah, it's really hard to sleep and eat well, so I decided to hide in Yangdu and stay well after I go back. No matter how powerful the Red Lotus King puppet is, he won't dare to trouble me in Yangdu. "
Meng Nu's eyes were dark: "Looking for trouble with you? With those two by your side, what will happen if the corpse puppets come."
Jiang Fan's heart moved slightly: "Oh, they are just helpers I invited, and they are leaving."
"Who...are they? I have never seen such a strong person." Meng Nu's eyes flashed, thinking of the scene that day, she felt even more incredible.
"They... I can't tell you, but they don't get involved in the world easily, that is, it's Wang Puppet's business, otherwise I won't be able to invite them."
Meng Nu stared at him: "No, you call them grandpa and sister. You must have a special relationship."
Jiang Fan bared his teeth and smiled: "I'm a familiar person. Didn't you see that grandpa didn't pay much attention to me? As for that sister, due to her personality, I'm actually not familiar with her at all, and I don't even know her."
Meng Nu frowned, doubting but also somewhat believing his statement. Because indeed, the man had a cold personality and seemed to be nothing special to Jiang Fan, while the woman was carefree and seemed to be quite casual with anyone she got along with.
"A thousand years ago..." Meng Nu said slowly: "It is said that the Red Lotus King Puppet first appeared in the world, and there was... people from there who subdued evil spirits..."
Jiang Fan seemed to blink curiously: "Where is it?"
Meng Nu looked at him deeply, but did not continue speaking.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, but I advise you not to think too much. There is no benefit in knowing too much...but I am different."
He came closer to Meng Nu and looked into her eyes: "Tell me, where did you get the Red Lotus King Puppet?"
Meng Nu was stared at by him, and her heart was shaken involuntarily. The current Jiang Fan was extremely mysterious in her eyes.
"What? You don't want to say this? If you don't say anything, if you find a corpse puppet in the future, it will have nothing to do with you."
Meng Nu took a deep breath: "The city lord once told you that if you want to find clues about the king's puppet, he can tell you. It... comes from the west."
"West...Xinjiang?"
Meng Nu said: "Yes, it is an ancient city that fell into the yellow sand."
"Golden City..." Jiang Fan said slowly.
"Do you know the Golden City?" Meng Nu looked a little surprised.
"I've heard of it, and I also know that it was the place where the first generation of king puppets fell..."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed slightly: "...Nv Meng, was this what she looked like when you found her?"
Meng Nu took a deep breath: "You really thought of it. Yes, when we found Wang Puppet, she was sealed underground in a golden coffin. Her appearance at that time was the same as it is now..."
"Hiss—" Jiang Fan took a breath of air.
"That is to say, she is probably..."
Meng Nu said: "That golden coffin is at least a thousand years old..."
Jiang Fan was really shocked this time. If this news is correct, then it is obvious that this corpse puppet is the same as the one from thousands of years ago. In other words, the Red Lotus King puppet must have existed for two thousand years!
"No wonder...it's so powerful..."
Jiang Fan said in surprise and uncertainty.
"There was an inscription on the golden coffin that said the demon from outside the territory came here and used the city as a formation to seal it."
Jiang Fan was horrified: "That city is a big formation?"
"Yes, the three of them fought fiercely with the top ten powerful men, and eventually they fell into the quicksand and disappeared. Later, they were found by the Lord of the Golden City for some unknown reason, and they were buried in the underground palace under the city with a golden coffin.
Then, for some unknown reason, many strong men suddenly emerged in the Golden City. But five hundred years ago, a big change suddenly occurred, and one hundred thousand people in the city turned into mummies overnight.
Later, a strange person came upon hearing the news and turned the ancient city into a peerless formation to suppress the king's puppet. From then on, one person and one town suppressed the king's puppets, but the strange man was attacked and finally escaped, and the Golden City was gradually swallowed up by wind and sand erosion, and eventually became an uninhabited ghostland..."
Jiang Fan took a breath of air: "I see, but I wonder who could be so defiant as to use the city as a formation?"
"Five hundred years ago, a genius descended from heaven, known as the Formation Immortal."
"Borderless for a hundred miles?" Jiang Fan was stunned: "It turned out...it was him..."
"In order to find the inheritance of Baili Wujiang, we explored the Golden City in depth and accidentally discovered the King Puppet in the golden coffin. The city lord even realized that the death energy emitted by the King Puppet was of great benefit to the practice of Huangquan Xuan Gong, but he was warned by the inscription, lest he The appearance is unknown, so Fengdu was built imitating the Golden City to suppress the king's puppets. However, after the capital was completed, something happened before the king's puppets could be transferred..."
