Saying goodbye to Mu Qingxue, Shen Lang first went to the port horse market and bought a black horse. Then he rode the horse out of the port, bypassed Yingzhou Fucheng, and galloped northeast along the official path.

Just as he was setting off on his horse.

Above the sky, a giant eagle, which looked like just a small black dot when viewed from the ground, was slowly circling among the clouds, its position almost always keeping pace with the waves on the ground.

In the outskirts of Fucheng, someone stood on a hill and looked at the sky with a monocular telescope to observe the movements of the giant eagle. When he saw the giant eagle turning to the northeast, he immediately shouted:

"Mount!"

There were more than thirty people on the hillock, all dressed in mourning clothes and carrying long swords on their backs. They got on their horses at the same time, whipped their horses, and chased in the direction indicated by the giant eagle.

at the same time.

In Yingzhou City, in a private room of a restaurant, someone whispered:

"The directions are changing... Madam, the man has moved!"

After a while, someone knocked on the door and came in, reporting in a low voice:

"The man separated from Mu Qingxue at the port, bought a black horse at the horse market, and rode away alone. He did not enter the city, but went straight around Fucheng and headed northeast."

"Set off immediately and catch up! Don't forget to send a message to the other side!"

"Wait a minute! Madam, please be patient. Could this be a trap? Could Mu Qingxue be using him as bait for fishing?"

"Hmph, someone is coming from the capital. Mu Qingxue will soon be entangled and unable to escape. Even if it is really a trap, we still have plenty of time to swallow the bait! Stop talking nonsense, this time the three parties will cooperate to hunt down our common enemy.

, even if that kid has wings on his ribs, he will break his wings and fall to his death!"

Soon, a peregrine falcon flew out of the restaurant window, flew into the air like lightning, and flew out of the city. It flew all the way into a private port on the seaside outside the city, and landed on the mast of a seagoing ship.

Someone climbed up the mast, fed the peregrine falcon two small fish, then took a small bamboo tube from the eagle's talon, turned over and lowered the mast, and hurriedly entered the cabin.

Within a moment, a group of people stepped out of the cabin and flew straight off the ship.

One of the two people at the head of that team was wearing a high hat, a black-and-white top, a wide skirt, and a three-foot cane. He looked exactly like Li Ying, the Ghost King's eastern military advisor!

port.

After watching Shen Lang leave.

Mu Qingxue was waiting to catch up secretly and escort Shen Lang for a while. Before she even took a step, she suddenly frowned slightly and looked sideways.

Not far away, I saw a seemingly ordinary merchant ship docked at a trestle berth.

At the bow of the merchant ship, a middle-aged man dressed as a member of a wealthy family stood with his hands behind his hands.

The middle-aged man has a handsome figure, a white beardless face, and a kind smile. He seems harmless to humans and animals, but the coldness contained in the depths of his eyes is enough to freeze the blood of ordinary people and even lower-level third-level warriors, and make their whole body paralyzed.

After looking at the rich middle-aged man for a while, Mu Qingxue's eyes were solemn and she whispered: "Eunuch Zhang!"

The distance between the two sides was tens of meters, but her voice reached the wealthy middle-aged man's ears clearly.

And the slightly feminine voice of the rich, middle-aged "Eunuch Zhang" soon echoed clearly in Mu Qingxue's ears:

"Mu Catou."

"Eunuch Zhang is not in the capital to serve His Majesty, so what is the purpose of coming to Yingzhou?"

"I came to Yingzhou on official business in accordance with His Majesty's orders. Unexpectedly, I ran into Mu Baotou here."

Mu Qingxue's voice was cold: "Is it really a chance encounter?"

Eunuch Zhang smiled softly: "Why do you need to worry about Mr. Mu? Of course it's just an accidental encounter."

"Since we just met by chance..." Mu Qingxue's eyes turned cold: "Why did Eunuch Zhang use his energy to lock this arrester? Could it be that he wanted to fight me?"

Eunuch Zhang smiled:

"Don't dare. Our family has only condensed three of the nine profound apertures. How dare we take action against Mu Captou? It's just that our mission this time has something to do with Mu Captou...

"I heard that Captain Mu captured a group of powerful pirates? Your Majesty has recently built a 'death camp' and is determined to throw some of the most heinous criminals into the 'dead camp' until the northern barbarians move south this autumn.

When invading the border, sending the dead soldier battalion up to charge into battle can also be used as waste.

"Our family is here to receive these pirates according to His Majesty's order. By the way, we will escort the stolen goods confiscated by Mu Captou to Beijing. In this way, we will save Mu Captou the trouble of escorting them in the future.

That's what happened. Please cooperate with me, Mr. Mu, and take our family to hand over the pirates and their stolen goods."

Hearing this, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart: The emperor's reaction was so quick!

Even though it had only been twenty days since she appeared on King Shark Island, and most of the journey was still overseas, the emperor had already learned the news and even sent a great eunuch to Yingzhou!

Is it because of the big eagle from the Nanhai Sword Sect?

The only uncertainty now is whether the emperor knows that Jin Yiming was killed by Shen Lang.

If you already know...

So Shen Lang may have to face countless cold shots and secret arrows during his trip to Beijing!

And now Eunuch Zhang has set his sights on her again. Even if she wants to escort Shen Lang for a ride, she can't get away at all.

I can only pray secretly that the emperor still doesn't know that Shen Lang killed Jin Yiming, and he doesn't like him as a little shrimp, so he won't send too strong masters to deal with him.

With Shen Lang's protection, his own martial arts and Taoist skills...

Well, mainly Taoism and marksmanship.

Shen Lang is very good at practicing martial arts, but he can't do it in actual combat. He is the kind of person who can only follow the secret book one, two, three and four in order and has no idea about the rigid swordsmanship of adapting to changes. A martial artist with a little actual combat experience will know how to deal with it.

he.

Therefore, at least until he has developed his internal strength and true energy, and can overwhelm others with his strength, Shen Lang's martial arts is best not to participate in actual combat.

But even so, he should be able to handle it as long as there are no warriors of the fourth grade and above and monks of the sixth grade and above to intercept and kill him.

In addition, last night, she had already used a magic weapon to remotely transmit Shen Lang's news to the Capital Divine Hall, and briefly stated Shen Lang's merits and qualifications.

With his qualifications, he will definitely attract Mr. Yan's attention.

As long as Lord Yan starts to pay attention, he can provide Shen Lang with great security even if he is far away from the capital.

At least, under Lord Yan's attention, it is impossible for some strong men who even Mu Qingxue should treat with caution to deal with Shen Lang personally.

Now, I just hope Shen Lang can be smarter and have better luck.

But as for Shen Lang... he shouldn't be as unlucky as her, right?

While he was thinking about it, Eunuch Zhang said sadly again:

"Master Mu has been reluctant to speak, but he is not satisfied with His Majesty's arrangement?"

Mu Qingxue took a deep breath, suppressed her distracting thoughts, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:

"I don't dare. Ask Eunuch Zhang to express the imperial edict clearly. Once I see the imperial edict, I will act in accordance with it."

Eunuch Zhang smiled slightly:

"Then please invite Mr. Mu to come on board to receive the order!"

…

At noon, the sun is shining brightly.

Shen Lang stopped by the horse road and led the horse into the forest next to the road to escape the heat. He also took out water and bean cakes from the pen space and fed the horse. Then he took out a small horse and sat down in the shade of the trees while chewing pancakes with meat.

, while drinking ice-cold rice wine to relieve the heat.

As for where his iced rice wine came from...

Of course rice wine exists in the Dianjingbi space.

In the past two days, he accompanied Chen Yuniang to purchase goods at various warehouses in the port. He did not have time to practice the seventh-level magic "Water Mirror Shadow Technique", so he took the time to spend most of the night and perfected an inferior Western skill "Ice".

touch".

This spell is the same as "Fire Finger". It is for apprentices to practice and familiarize themselves with the composition of the spell. It has no lethality.

But it is quite practical in daily life, especially for chilling drinks.

After casting the spell, place your hands on the wine jar. Within a few moments, the jar of rice wine will be as sweet and refreshing as ice.

After devouring ten pancakes with meat, ten boiled eggs, two kilograms of roasted whale meat, and drinking a whole jar of iced rice wine, Shen Lang finally had enough to eat and drink.

After resting for half an hour, and just as he was about to continue on his way, he suddenly felt a slight heat from the brand on the back of his hand, and a thought came from Xiao Gu:

"I'm in the psychic realm!"

Shen Lang was not surprised by Xiaogu's promotion.

When he was at sea before, Xiao Gu confidently assured him that he would be promoted within seven days at most.

After that guarantee, I spent four days at sea and two days in Yingzhou Port. Today is the seventh day.

And just halfway through the seventh day, Xiaogu had been successfully promoted. Although Shen Lang was not surprised, he was also greatly surprised.

I got up and looked outside the forest for a while. I saw that there were no pedestrians on the official road outside the forest under the scorching sun. So I went deep into the forest for a while, called Xiao Zhao out, gave him a little pen in his mouth, and gave him a few words:

Shen Lang then had a thought and entered some fine writing space.

After Shen Lang entered the space.

Xiao Zhao held a half-bald brush in his mouth, and made a powerful leap with his short legs. He jumped more than three feet high and jumped onto a horizontal branch. Then he jumped several times in succession and soon disappeared five or six feet above the ground.
