Imperial city, imperial palace, imperial study.
The lights are brightly lit and there are precious luminous pearls, making the night feel like day.
"Report to Your Majesty! Wei Shen has sent word that there has been a change in the Bone Forest!"
The old eunuch looked flustered and respectfully held up the messenger talisman with both hands.
"Let Wei Shen stop the attack first and contact the border army. Also, let Wu Donglai personally lead the Imperial City Prison Envoy to suppress it."
Dongfang Mo issued orders one after another.
He took out the communication talisman and talked with Wei Shen who was guarding the palace.
But then, Dongfang Mo was stunned.
The old eunuch was about to go to deliver the order when he was called back by Dongfang Mo.
"Your Majesty..." The old eunuch bowed and asked for instructions.
"What happened in the Bone Forest was not that the Bone Army was dispatched, but that it was... gone."
Dongfang Mo's expression was strange and his tone was complicated.
"No more?" The old eunuch was also stunned, and soon said in succession: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, this is the blessing of Qingyun Kingdom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch continued to observe his words carefully.
"The former skeletal soldiers who were buried in the bone pit are all gone."
Dongfang Mo walked to the window and looked at the starry sky in the distance.
"Wei Shen went to investigate overnight. It seemed that the place had been crushed by strong men. There were not many traces of battle."
"Could it be Old General Liu?" the old eunuch guessed.
Dongfang Mo thought about it, and he wasn't sure.
The military god Liu Shanhe has unparalleled power and extraordinary force. He can defeat a million troops of the Xuanyue Kingdom with just one person. However, those are skeleton soldiers after all. They know no fear. Under the human sea tactics, even Liu Shanhe may not be able to withstand it.
What's more, the main reason for not suppressing the bone pit is that the army of bones will disperse and cause disaster.
"Could it be said that after General Liu reached the heaven, he returned to Liuyun Continent and wiped out the Bone Forest?"
"However, it is difficult to go to heaven, and it is even more difficult to go to the lower world... The time when General Liu appeared in Pingchuan City can only prove that he did not go to heaven at all."
Dongfang Mo thought about it over and over, but couldn't figure it out.
What he didn't understand even more was how Chang Qing notified Wei Shen of this news, and also asked Wei Shen to cooperate and take the credit.
"Chang Qing, that's interesting. I'm afraid Wu Donglai never thought that you have such ability."
Dongfang Mo laughed, this executioner seemed quite decent.
The Bone Forest was wiped out. Although it is unknown who took action, it was related to Evergreen after all.
"I have issued an oral order to Chang Qing to temporarily take over the position of prison officer in Fanlin Town until the Imperial City sends someone to take over."
The old eunuch's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to accept the order, hiding his shock.
Although His Majesty said that if Changqing survives this time, he will be reused.
However, the punishment officer is temporarily replaced as the prison officer?
Being called a criminal officer has always been a false name! Even if it is only temporary, the message conveyed is enough to shock the government and the opposition!
It’s temporary now, but what about in the future?
Now the temporary replacement is the prison officer. What about the military?
Once the punishment officer is given real power, his status will even surpass that of the national master!
In the Qingyun Kingdom, he is under only one person!
"Original Fanlin Town Prison Official Forest..." the old eunuch asked for instructions.
"I didn't know the identity of the prison officer Chang Qingti, and almost put the prisoner in danger. This was an oversight. Monks and caravans were often attacked in the White Bone Forest, but the warden of Fanlin Town could not protect him. This was a dereliction of duty. Considering that he is young and extremely talented, Well, if you are transferred to the Prison Superintendent of the Imperial City to continue your training, you will be able to practice with peace of mind."
Dongfang Mo said.
The old eunuch understood that this was directly dismissing Fang Lin from his official position!
Even if he is transferred to the imperial city, he is just an ordinary prefecture-level prison envoy!
Putting aside the aura of a young prodigy, a prefecture-level prison envoy in the imperial city is nothing.
"Also, since the hidden danger in the Bone Forest has been eliminated, Wei Shen no longer needs to guard the palace. He will be transferred to the imperial city and appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Imperial Army."
"yes."
…
Outside Fanlin City, on the official road.
The night falls with stars and the silver moon shines high.
On both sides of the official road, a famous prison envoy and strong men cheered up.
As time went on, especially late at night, they became more and more nervous.
The official road extending into the dark night seemed like a mighty army of bones would appear at any time.
Hundreds of monks ambushed this place. Although Fang Lin and Nangong Lianxue would capture the thief first, they still had no idea.
Even if the army of bones is unable to put up a posture on this official road due to terrain restrictions, and its individual combat power is not very strong, it will still be like a surging wave, stretching endlessly until it submerges them.
They didn't know who would be absent after this night, and perhaps the absent person would include themselves.
Every prison envoy and warrior, Fang Lin did not dare to resist.
Take their lives to make contributions to Fang Lin? Of course they don't want to.
However, as a jailer and strongman in Fanlin Town, I have long been unable to control myself. No matter how innocent I am, if I fall into the dye vat, I will still be colorful.
The resources looted from the Bone Forest also made each of them gain considerable benefits. They had long been wearing the same pants as Fang Lin.
Now, it’s time to give it back!
The prison guards and warriors who had escorted the sacrifices earlier looked at each other.
They and other colleagues were not panicking because of the same thing.
They knew that Mrs. Bones would not lead the Bone Army to attack, but they did not dare to show it for fear that Fang Lin and other colleagues would find out that they knew.
If you tell me, you won't be able to get a job from the executioner.
If he didn't tell her, it would be a dead end if Fang Lin discovered him in the future.
Even if nothing happened, I would still be suffering.
"What's going on? Why hasn't Mrs. Bones led the Bone Army to attack yet?" Nangong Lianxue was already impatient with the waiting.
Half of the day and night passed, and there was no movement.
If you wait any longer, it will be dawn!
Fang Lin smiled softly, "You should be calmer. Mrs. Bones has to be sad for a while when she personally kills the lover she was waiting for. Besides, with our cultivation level, it will certainly be fast to go back and forth to the Bone Forest. But in the army of Bones, There are many skeletons who are only in the Qi Condensation Realm or even the Body Refining Realm, and they are always slower when they are on their way."
With that said, Fang Lin said to everyone: "The vanguard will only have the Bone Lady and some Bone Giants, so there is no need to worry about the wave of the army."
Nangong Lingxue could only wait quietly.
Not long after, she received the summons, and her expression suddenly changed.
She looked at Fang Lin's calm expression as if looking at a clown.
"What's wrong?" Fang Lin looked at Nangong Lianxue and was directly angered by Nangong Lianxue's gaze. His tone was unkind, "You don't believe me?"
"Three orders from His Majesty were sent from the palace. It is estimated that at dawn, a herald will arrive at Fanlin City."
"Oh? What order?" Fang Lin was a little surprised.
How could the Nangong family obtain the palace information so quickly?
I am afraid that at this time, the herald responsible for sending the summons to Fanlin City has not received the summons, right?
"I can only tell you that Changqing is not dead." Nangong Lianxue was a little angry.
Fang Lin was so confident, but he didn't expect it to be a joke!
In fact, I even waited here for a whole day and a half!
Fang Lin frowned, and at this moment, a prison envoy rushed over in a panic, with a somewhat shy look on Nangong Lingxue.
"What's the matter? Just tell me directly." Fang Lin asked.
The jailer said: "There is news from the city that Li Heihu successfully rescued Shen Feng and brought back all the one million spirit stones!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Fang Lin stretched out his hand and waved.
The prison envoy continued: "The Shen family celebrated all night and held a big banquet, which caused a sensation in the entire Fanlin City. Although it is late now, the banquet has already been held in the city..."
Fang Lin's eyesight went dark and he almost lost his temper.
