After Bai Yan finished speaking, Yun Que suddenly realized.
No wonder the Red Lotus leader chose to retreat early before the imperial army arrived. It turned out to be because he sensed Bai Yan's arrow breath technique.
"Could it be the fourth-grade Nascent Soul!"
Su Hongshan said in surprise: "If he is such a master, it will be useless for us to join forces. Why should the other party retreat?"
Bai Yan smiled and said: "General Su, don't forget where this place is. At the foot of the imperial city, even the fourth-grade Nascent Soul dare not act recklessly. We are not opponents, but there are people in Tianqi City who can kill the Nascent Soul."
Su Hongshan suddenly realized it, slapped his forehead and said:
"Yes, as long as we delay for a while, there will naturally be a steady stream of masters coming to the imperial city. General Bai is still thoughtful and delicate. I am willing to be defeated. No wonder you are called Confucian General, I am a martial artist!"
While the two were talking, Su Hongshan's whirlwind horse bared its teeth and puffed hard at Bai Yan's white horse, looking like it wanted to bite it.
The white horse moved its hooves, looking restless.
After all, the white horse is a horse, and the black horse is a demon. They have natural repressive power. If the two horses were to simply fight, the white horse would definitely be bitten to death.
Bang!
Su Hongshan kicked the Tornado Colt in the belly, causing the black horse to move a foot horizontally.
"Be honest! You bitten someone's thorn, you idiot, can you afford to pay for it!"
The white thorns in Su Hongshan's mouth are the name of the white horse.
The black horse had rough skin and thick flesh, and was covered in scales. He didn't care if he was kicked, but he was a lot more honest, and he could tell that he was beaten and scolded by Su Hongshan frequently.
Only then did Su Hongshan calm down.
Yun Que looked funny.
No wonder Wufu is always called vulgar, not without reason.
"How could the Red Lotus Sect come out of nowhere and have such a powerful person exist?"
Su Hongshan asked in confusion: "Girl Qingyao, who did you offend?"
Mu Qingyao smiled bitterly and shook her head:
"I don't know. This time I went out to look for the spirit flower. After arriving at the border, the crisis continued. All the guards died in the battle, and I was the only one left alive. I went through a lot of hardships to get here. Without Yun Que's escort, I would have been dead."
Su Hongshan looked at Yun Que, frowned and said:
"Escorting the princess is a great achievement, but boy, your body is not good enough! You can tell from the first glance that you lack hard work. After a few years of training in our army, I guarantee that you will be as strong as me!"
Yun Que grinned, thinking that he may not be strong if he fights with you, but the more he fights with you, the more he will lose his mind.
"Thank you, General, for your cultivation. When I have the opportunity, I will definitely go and hone my skills under the General." Yun Que said politely.
After all, he is a genuine fifth-level master, and Mu Qingyao calls him uncle, so Yun Que naturally has to give him some face.
But Yun Que didn't expect that this general was so stubborn. He waved his hand and said:
"What are you waiting for! Now is your chance! You will follow me later and serve in the Eight Mountains City Army. I will give you a centurion first. If you behave well, you will be replaced by a thousand-centurion!"
Yun Que's mouth opened wide when he heard this.
Not only does this person have no brains, he probably doesn’t even know much about the ways of the world. Can’t you tell I’m being polite?
"Uncle Su, Yun Que is going to the Academy, and I can't go with you for the time being." Mu Qingyao said to help.
"Go to the Academy, forget it." Su Hongshan had no temper at all when he heard the word Academy.
He was not convinced by Bai Yan, but he was convinced by Tianqi Academy.
Not only Su Hongshan, but almost no one in the entire Jin Dynasty dared to be dissatisfied with Tianqi Academy.
Su Hongshan suddenly remembered something, pulled Mu Qingyao aside and whispered:
"Girl, it's okay for you to pretend to be a bandit, but how can you really kill people! It doesn't matter if you kill a few ordinary soldiers, you kill Tong Qi! He is a general appointed by the imperial court, and I can't evade this matter. Stay!"
Mu Qingyao said calmly:
"Uncle Su, don't worry, I won't kill innocent people in vain. Tong Qi opened a gambling house secretly and harmed many people. A friend of mine was ruined by him. Uncle Su can thoroughly investigate Tong Qi. If he doesn't deserve to die, I am willing to bear all the consequences.”
"What? Tong Qi opened a gambling house to cheat people!"
When Su Hongshan heard this, he was furious and said: "I have repeatedly ordered that people in the army are prohibited from gambling. As a general, Tong Qi actually opened a gambling house. It is simply unreasonable! I will investigate the matter thoroughly after I return!"
Yun Que listened and shook his head.
This general was so careless that he didn't even know that his subordinates had opened a gambling house, and Tong Qi's gambling house had been open for at least ten years.
After explaining the cause and effect, Mu Qingyao decided to return to the imperial city immediately.
Even with Bai Yan escorting her, Su Hongshan still felt uneasy and took the princess all the way to the gate of the imperial city before giving up.
On the way, Mu Qingyao explained Bai Yan's military position to Yun Que.
The commander of the Jinwu Guards is affiliated with the Forbidden Army and holds the same general position as Su Hongshan.
But the generals in the Imperial City's Forbidden Army are so valuable that they cannot be compared to the generals of the Eight Mountains City.
There are a total of twelve guards in the Imperial City Forbidden Army, namely the left and right Yi guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right Wu guards, the left and right leading guards, the left and right prison guards, and the left and right Jinwu guards.
There are six commanders in total for the Twelve Guards, and Bai Yan is the commander of the left and right Jinwu Guards.
Above the commander is the general who commands all the forbidden troops.
Also known as the Grand Commander of the Forbidden Army.
Bai Yan is different from the vulgar warriors. He has a mind like a fox and is full of resourcefulness. He likes reading military books the most. He has great respect for Confucianism. He also has a Confucian spirit in his life. He is respected by his colleagues and even enemies as a Confucian general. He is the leader of the entire army. A famous general in Jin Dynasty.
Yun Que listened with great concentration.
Bai Yan is not very old, only around thirty, and he has reached the fifth level of cultivation, and he is also a general of the Jinwu Guard. This kind of person is a true genius!
It seems that there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers within the imperial city.
Arriving at the foot of the Imperial City, Su Hongshan was about to return to Bashan City.
As the guard of Bashan City, you cannot enter the imperial city without the emperor's order.
Before parting, Su Hongshan said in a deep voice:
"Since the Red Lotus Sect has such a master chasing you, girl, you will be in a very dangerous situation in the future. Do not leave the imperial city in a short time. This matter is not trivial. I will send someone to Black Iron City to inform your father immediately after I return."
"There's no need to trouble Uncle Su. My father is guarding the border and is busy with business. There's no need to bother him with this little thing." Mu Qingyao said.
"This is no small matter! No matter how busy the King of Funan is, he doesn't even want his daughter! You don't have to worry about this matter. I will definitely inform him. If Uncle Su is not able to get away as a guard, I will personally take charge of it. Any of your guards will do!" Su Hongshan said.
Mu Qingyao had no choice but to let him go, knowing that Uncle Su was a warm-hearted person.
After entering the city, Bai Yan was going to the palace to resume his duties. Even the emperor didn't dare to sleep on such a big event as the beacon smoke, he must be waiting to find out the truth.
Bai Yan planned to send the princess to the palace, but Mu Qingyao politely declined.
She plans to go to see the saint again tomorrow.
Once you arrive at the Imperial City, you will be completely safe. This is the real emperor's feet. Not only is it covered by the demon-suppressing formation, but there are also countless Wuhou patrolling the streets, many of whom are masters.
Si Tianjian's special magic circle is also constantly monitoring the aura fluctuations in the imperial city.
Whenever there is danger, Si Tianjian's strong men will be dispatched as soon as possible.
No matter how many spies the Red Lotus Sect has, they would not dare to cause trouble in the imperial city.
In fact, Mu Qingyao's main purpose was to visit the bustling Tianqi Imperial City with Yun Que, known as the city that never sleeps.
There were many crises along the way, several close calls, and finally we reached the end.
Since Mu Qingyao entered the city, her whole person has become brighter and more agile.
As soon as Bai Yan led the soldiers away, Mu Qingyao immediately took Yun Que's hand and ran to a stall selling shortbread cookies by the roadside.
Each person had a small shortbread, and the two of them ate it with gusto.
"This shortbread shop has the best taste in the entire Imperial City! Every time I come back, I will buy some to satisfy my craving." Mu Qingyao said mischievously.
"It turns out that the princess is still a foodie. If there is any delicious food in the imperial city, you have to take me to eat it all." Yun Que said.
"No problem, I agree to your little request." Mu Qingyao pretended to be mature, and couldn't help but giggle after saying that.
Even though it was already dark, the lights in the imperial city were brightly lit, and the long and spacious streets were very lively with people coming and going.
"There is a small shop over there that sells delicious glutinous rice balls!"
Mu Qingyao happily pulled Yun Que onto the long street.
Because they were in a happy mood, the two of them couldn't help but walk a little faster. When Yun Que turned around, he happened to bump into a passerby.
There is not just one person on the other side, but a group of young people, wearing gold, silver, and brocade robes. At first glance, they belong to a wealthy family.
"Why are you walking? I don't see anyone!"
When the young man who was hit saw that Yun Que was dressed in civilian clothes, he suddenly said angrily: "This is the Imperial City, not your countryside. Be careful when you walk, country bumpkin! If you bump into a big shot, your life may be in danger! Remember, the road to the Imperial City is not safe. Good to go!”
If you encounter such a dog looking down on others, if you were in Zangshi Town, an old punch would be over, and there would be no need to talk nonsense.
But this was the imperial city, and Yun Que didn't want to get into trouble and ignored him.
Mu Qingyao apologized apologetically and did not reveal her identity as the princess. When the other party saw that it was a girl, they stopped making trouble and the group walked away.
These people are all young men from well-off families.
They don't dare to cause trouble, and they are not real yamen. Having a few dollars in the imperial city is nothing, because there are many people who are richer than you.
These young men are not forgiving. Their biggest hobbies are to ridicule the poor, scold beggars, look at beautiful women, and go out for a walk at night after eating and drinking to see what's new.
Not to mention, there is something really new tonight.
Next to the city gate, some officers and soldiers posted a new notice, which was a wanted order.
There are actually dozens of wanted posters posted beside the city gate. They are either criminal thieves or murderous gangsters. New warrants appear every few days.
When the young men saw this, they immediately gathered around, watching and commenting.
"Hey! It's a lot of money, actually one thousand taels! It seems that this wanted criminal has the highest price this year."
"Isn't that right? The most expensive one before was only five hundred taels."
"Good guy! Killed three hundred and nineteen people! Whose family is being exterminated!"
"A real murderer! Whoever encounters this guy will be unlucky!"
The first thing the young men read was the words on the wanted notice, because the officers and soldiers posted the notices from bottom to top.
After the wanted poster was posted, several people finally saw the shadow graphics on it.
The painting is very clear, showing a young man with a delicate appearance and a stern expression.
When they saw the murderous maniac on the wanted poster, all the young men's eyes widened, and then their bodies began to sway non-stop, almost as if they were having a convulsion.
They are afraid.
I was so scared that I was covered in cold sweat!
Because not only had they met the murderer on the wanted list not long ago, they also called him a country bumpkin!
