wilderness.
setting sun.
official way.
A team of people came at lightning speed. The leader had a divine horse on his hip, which was nearly two meters tall. His whole body was red, and he ran like a ball of fire.
Upon closer inspection, there is a layer of thin red scales on its neck and the upper ends of its four hooves.
This is the dragon-scaled horse that is the exclusive mount of Ninghou. Who else can be on the horse besides Ninghou?
Zhou Zhaoguang was dressed in a python robe and a golden crown on his head. He was an extraordinary warrior. Every move he made carried a sense of majesty, as if he was born to be the superior to control all people.
Behind him were two groups of men, one led by General Zhu and the other led by Pan Meng. Behind them were each followed by a group of soldiers, and the soldiers were followed by two more.
These two people were different from the others who were riding tall horses. They were purely walking.
One person was wearing a green gown, loose and disheveled, and looked a bit old. The other person was middle-aged, with a short stature, but his shoulders were half wider than ordinary people.
These two people are Qinglong and Xuanwu.
After leaving Tiandu Fucheng and heading west for half an hour, the group came to a wilderness.
There are hills here, like tombs, one after another.
Because of the uneven terrain, there is only one official road here, and there are almost no other trails.
There is a small river flowing quietly beside the official road, and on the river stands an old man wearing a black robe.
Old Man Yin Tong's eyes were bloodshot and he was staring at the water. He didn't even notice when Ning Hou arrived. It wasn't until Pan Meng called "Mr. Yin" that he turned around.
His eyes automatically bypassed the others and focused only on Ning Hou. In a flash, he appeared next to Ning Hou, nodded and said: "Master Hou."
Ninghou sat on the dragon-scaled horse and did not look at him. He just said, "When did it happen?"
"In front of half a stick of incense," said the old man Yintong.
"brush!"
Ninghou's eyes suddenly turned to him. Before the old man Yin Tong could notice or react at all, he had already received a solid slap on his face.
This slap sent him flying dozens of meters away.
The old man Yintong fell to the ground and rolled a few more times. When he stood up, his face was swollen like a steamed bun. He vomited blood and two of his back teeth fell out.
Having lived for more than two hundred years, the old man Yin Tong, who is feared by everyone in the world, has ever suffered from such bird-like behavior?
"you……"
"You're still lying to me!"
Ninghou blocked his mouth with one sentence and said in a deep voice: "In front of half a stick of incense? Do you think Gu Zhen doesn't know anything? He escaped from their hands this morning."
He looked back at Qinglong and Xuanwu behind him, and then said: "It took you, a monk at the late stage of the Out-of-body Realm, to intercept a Qi-Blood Realm warrior for half a day?"
The old man Yintong panicked. He didn't expect Ning Hou to grasp the time so accurately.
"Tell me! When did that kid escape?"
When Marquis Ning suddenly drank, the old man Yintong was so frightened that he subconsciously wanted to curse.
But the words came to his lips and he swallowed them hard. Today's Ninghou is no longer the original Ninghou, and their status has also undergone tremendous changes.
Although the Three Corpses Sect has declined, he is still the leader of a sect and the leader of a force, while Ninghou is a prince of the same party and is equal in status.
But now that Ninghou has broken through to the realm of King Wu, and is a being that can kill him at any time, he no longer dares to have the idea of resisting, and said honestly: "Five hours ago."
"Five hours ago?"
Ninghou's tone suddenly increased a lot. When he looked at the old man Yintong again, his eyes flashed with murderous intent and said: "You didn't report what happened five hours ago until now, and everyone has disappeared. Who are you?" Intentions?"
Every sound and every word was like a sword piercing the heart of the old man Yintong. He was frightened and felt that Marquis Ning was really murderous towards him.
"Plop!"
He suddenly knelt on the ground, crawled up to Ning Hou, kowtowed and said, "Master Hou, it's the villain who has lost his mind and wants to capture that little bastard by himself to receive the reward. The villain has no different intentions."
He never mentioned that he was trying to recapture the Soul-Eating Bead, because he knew very well that the Soul-Eating Bead, which was listed as "the most evil thing in the world" by the world, would definitely arouse the interest of Ning Hou.
Instead of Ning Hou focusing on the Soul-Eating Pearl, it would be better for it to rest on Wang Cheng. If Ninghou snatches it away, he will never have the possibility of taking it back in this life. There is still hope for Wang Cheng.
"snort!"
Ning Hou turned his head and stopped talking to him, and said in a deep voice: "You three, please listen to me. I don't care whether you don't want to arrest him or you have other thoughts. I only give you one month to get that kid to death." Bring me back alone, or you will never come back!"
Old Yintong, Qinglong, and Xuanwu knew that Ninghou was calling their names, and they immediately responded in unison.
"Master Hou!"
At this moment, Pan Meng, who was following Ning Hou, said: "I thought I was just going to catch Wang Xuanfu in one direction, so I might not be able to catch him."
"oh?"
Ning Hou looked back at her and said, "Tell me! What do you think?"
Pan Meng analyzed: "Although Wang Xuanfu's cultivation is not at the Qi and Blood realm, he is a genuine ancient warrior at the Perfect realm. I have fought against him, and his strength is no longer inferior to that of ordinary martial arts."
"Furthermore, he has Wuweijiao's treasure of suppressing the teachings and the inheritance of King Wu. Although he is no match for the masters in the mansion, it will be difficult to catch him if he wants to escape."
Ninghou sat on the horse, frowning and saying nothing.
He actually has little contact with Wang Cheng, and most of his understanding of him comes from other people's opinions. Now after listening to Pan Meng's analysis, he realized that he might have really underestimated Wang Cheng.
Maybe even if Qinglong and the others don't let go, they may not be able to catch Wang Cheng soon.
As Pan Meng said, Wang Cheng himself is not weak, and he possesses powerful magic weapons and the inheritance of the King of Martial Arts. Even if he cannot be defeated, he can still run away.
He looked at Pan Meng and said, "What do you think?"
Pan Meng smiled sweetly: "He has a fatal flaw. He values friendship too much, and it can even be said that he is a woman. If he can catch his best friend and let the news out, he will definitely show up to save him. Wait. At that time..."
She made a grabbing gesture with her jade hands, as if everything was already under control.
Qinglong and Xuanwu, who were standing at the back, glanced at each other with shock on their faces.
Sure enough, women have the most poisonous hearts!
"You are such a good helpmate to my lonely family!"
Ning Hou pinched Pan Meng's face with his big hand. It was obviously very painful, but Pan Meng did not dare to struggle at all, and instead showed a smile.
He let go of his hand and said, "I'll do as you say!"
After saying these words, he rode his dragon scale horse towards Tiandu Fucheng without even looking at Qinglong and the others.
At this time, Pan Meng called the old man Yintong, Qinglong, and Xuanwu to his side and said: "Mr. Yin, Qinglong and Xuanwu, you have already fought against Wang Xuanfu this time, and you have seen this person's ability. If you use ordinary methods, It’s difficult to catch this person with this method, so I came up with this strategy.”
"It's just what Madam ordered," said the old man Yintong.
Qinglong and Xuanwu lowered their eyebrows and remained silent.
Pan Meng stopped talking nonsense and said bluntly: "This time the three adults are chasing Wang Xuanfu, three more are needed to spread the news along the way. Because he defected from the palace and spread his anger on his subordinates, shouldn't he be punished? !”
When the old man Yintong heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! Unless that little bastard doesn't miss the old relationship at all, he will definitely show up on his own initiative."
There was a faint look of worry on Qinglong's face, and even he couldn't figure out how Wang Cheng would break the situation once the news spread.
However, one day... two days... three days passed, and Wang Cheng did not show up, as if he had evaporated out of thin air.
Pan Meng, who was originally confident, became anxious first. She summoned all the backbone of Ninghou Mansion to the shogunate.
General Zhu, Secretary-General Hu, Tang Cheng, He Wushuang, Huang Meiren and other Xuanwei captains were all present.
Pan Meng was dressed in red and stood in front of everyone. Her youthful and charming face seemed to be covered with frost, and everyone below said nothing.
She looked at Tang Cheng behind General Zhu and said, "Captain Tang, how is the investigation of Yang Si?"
"My subordinates have been checking for the past few days, and have also checked his residence carefully, but they have not been able to find any trace of him. The last time he appeared in Tiandu Fucheng was on the day when Captain Wang returned, and there has been no trace of him since. People have seen him." Tang Cheng said.
"No one has seen him again?"
Pan Meng's face was extremely ugly, and she said coldly: "Can a really good living person evaporate?"
Tang Cheng lowered his head and stopped talking.
When Pan Meng saw this, she was furious. Yang Si was her most important link in catching Wang Cheng. Without Yang Si, it would be difficult for her to lure Wang Cheng, a big fish, to the bait.
She then asked He Wushuang and Huang Meiren: "How is the situation at your place?"
He Wushuang glanced at Huang Meiren and said proactively: "Actually, Captain Wang only seems to care for his subordinates and does not have a deep relationship with those subordinates. Even Xu Chao and Long Tao were also injured by Lord Wang. .Except for working with them on missions, I haven’t said a few words to them on weekdays.”
This result was not only surprising to He Wushuang, but also to several other Xuanwei captains. They saw with their own eyes that Wang Cheng loved his subordinates. Who knew that Wang Cheng did not have much contact with his subordinates at all, and they only had a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Pan Meng was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that so?"
Until now, she still didn't know that Wang Cheng did this just to cope with today, so he never had a close relationship with his subordinates from the beginning.
"Ha! You are really far-sighted!"
Although Pan Meng was smiling, her heart was full of mixed feelings.
She had feelings for Wang Cheng, and that night she saw her true heart when she saw her heart.
She also had regrets, regretting that she killed his master by mistake.
There was also fear that Wang Cheng would come back and cut her into pieces.
The combination of these emotions prompted her to feel another emotion - hate!
Yes!
hatred!
She hated Wang Cheng for not liking her and why Wang Cheng didn't listen to her.
I hate why fate would play tricks on me like this. It obviously sent the person in my heart to me, but it happened to make him become the opposite of me and become my enemy.
"Death! You'd better die!"
"The first volume "The Ten Years of Zhaowu" ends, and the next volume "Battlefield Orders" is about to begin. Wang Cheng will finally return to the battlefield he is most familiar with, so stay tuned!"
