The first time I went online, a ringing sound passed by my ear, and a task suddenly arrived——
"Ding!"
System prompt: The NPC [Luo Qingyi] you are guarding is about to face danger. Do you want to accept the trigger mission [Rescue Luo Qingyi] (SSS level ★★★) immediately?
…
Luo Qingyi is in danger!?
My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately confirmed accepting the mission. The next moment, the mission appeared in the task bar, but after I clicked on it, it went blank. It didn't even show where Luo Qingyi was. Maybe he was still in the palace, so I teleported immediately.
Head to Xingqi City.
The thunder that broke the wind turned into a thunder and passed through the imperial garden. When I arrived at Luo Qingyi's residence, a Longxiang cavalry said respectfully: "Sir, you are finally here!"
"Did something happen to the princess?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"No……"
He shook his head, confused, and said: "Princess Qingyi is fine, but something happened to the commander of the patrol army from Bailu City, Wei Chihong. It is said that he was assassinated on the way to Qingshan Town. He was under the command of Duke Xingchu
General, no one thought that such a famous general would suddenly fall."
"What about the princess?"
"The princess led the cavalry to the place where Lord Yuchihong was assassinated. She wanted to find out who assassinated Lord Yuchihong."
"I understand, I'll go find her right now."
"Sir, be careful and beware of those hiding in the dark."
"Know!"
…
With a tug on the reins, he rushed out of the imperial city with the Wind-breaking Thunder. He opened the big map. The top showed that Qingshan Town was within the super-large map controlled by Xingqi City. It was about 20 minutes away from Xingqi City.
, located in a deserted area between Xingqi City and Julu City.
The wind-breaking thunder was extremely fast, with a wind-breaking effect every two minutes. It rushed as much as 500 yards. Nearly twenty minutes later, it was close to the legendary Qingshan Town, but it was already close to night and it was about to become foggy.
, the vision became extremely poor. As I was galloping, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and a cavalryman galloped towards me: "Who is it?"
"People from the Dragon Realm."
I stepped forward and took a look. He was wearing the badge of the Golden Cavalry Regiment and was an NPC from Julu City. So I asked, "I am Ding Muchen. Where is Princess Qingyi?"
"It turns out it's you, my lord..." He galloped forward and said, "The princess is looking for clues at the place where Lord Yuchihong was assassinated. If you want to find the princess, my subordinates can lead the way for you."
"Good work!"
"Let's go!"
He turned around and rode away, speeding along an almost invisible path outside the town. The ground was wet and overgrown with weeds, covering more than half of the path. After about three minutes of speeding, the road ahead appeared.
Shadowy figures appeared at the foot of the mountain, and some people had already raised torches. They were members of the Longxiang Cavalry Regiment, and Luo Qingyi was wearing a battle robe and standing under an ancient tree.
"Princess Princess!"
I galloped over, directly mounted the mark, stepped on the wet grass with the Dark Dragon boots, frowned and said: "You are indeed here, I was worried that something happened to you!"
"I'm fine."
Luo Qingyi looked at me with her beautiful eyes and said, "But... Lord Yuchihong and more than a hundred knights from Bailu City have..."
"Your Majesty, please express your condolences..."
I walked forward and walked into the jungle under the leadership of Luo Qingyi. I saw corpses of patrol knights scattered everywhere in the jungle. They all died in extremely tragic ways. Some had their heads cut off with sharp weapons, while others were stabbed with sharp blades.
It pierced the heart, and there were stumps of limbs and broken bodies everywhere, and even the blood had not yet dried up. Under the protection of the crowd, a general wearing an admiral's uniform fell under the tree and was already dead.
Is this Yu Chihong?
I leaned in and took a closer look. This was a general who looked very steady and composed. The lines on his face were as if carved by a knife, showing perseverance, but his eyes were closed, and blood was flowing from his mouth, completely soaking the three gold stars on his collar.
His right hands were all cut off, and his left hand held a sword. He did not give up the fight before he died, but the real fatal wound was on his chest. A cone-shaped wound caused a fist-sized wound, directly damaging Yu Chihong's heart.
Pierced.
Luo Qingyi clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly, and said: "Master Yuchi once taught me martial arts, but I didn't expect that he would die tragically here. This damn murderer... I will definitely cut him into pieces!"
I frowned and said: "It seems that we still can't determine who the murderer is. Princess, I am not sure about one thing. Since Lord Yuchihong is from Bailu City, how could he appear in Julu City, Xingqi
The city's territory boundary is completely unrelated to Bailu City. Could it be that it is performing some kind of mission?"
Luo Qingyi's delicate body trembled slightly, and she looked at me with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said: "The Qingshan Town area is rich in spiritual stones, one of the cultivation consumables. More than half of the empire's spiritual stones are produced here, so the Xia clan has been young over the years.
Half of the spiritual power absorbed by a generation of cultivators came from here. This morning, His Majesty ordered Lord Yuchihong to inspect the Lingshi Factory in Qingshan Town, so..."
"So that's it..."
I took a deep breath and looked around again, only to find that Yuchihong was pushed all the way to the tree and killed with one blow. There were two types of footprints left on the ground, one that matched Yuchihong's combat boots, and the other
It is a footprint divided into three parts. The footprints are deep, nearly half as deep as Yu Chihong's footprints.
"Could it be..."
Luo Qingyi pursed her red lips and noticed my discovery. Following the footprints, she found that the owner of the footprints went straight towards Qingshan Town after successfully assassinating Yu Chihong. Luo Qingyi suddenly had beautiful eyes.
There was a hint of murderous intent in it: "Is this person in Qingshan Town?"
"It may not be a person."
I shook my head and said: "If it is one person who can wipe out an entire cavalry squad, then this person's strength is too terrifying. I'm afraid he is not inferior to you, right?"
"No matter what, we must check it out in Qingshan Town today!"
"Um."
…
Night falls.
Dim lights came from the town. When a group of us arrived at Qingshan Town, the laughter of travelers and drunkards came from the tavern in the distance, and the laughter from the Lingshi Workshop came from further away.
With the sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang-dang, a servant pointed to a building in the distance called the "Red Dragon Tavern" and said: "Princess, we have booked all the rooms on the second and third floors of this hotel.
,The princess will rest here today, right?"
"good."
Luo Qingyi nodded slightly and said to me: "Ding Muchen, I will stay here today."
"OK."
After tying the war horses behind the tavern, a group of Long Xiang cavalry camped in the open space of the town, cooking pots and cooking. Only a small number of elites followed Luo Qingyi. After all, there were so many people in a place like this.
If the noise is too loud, nothing will be found.
After settling in, Luo Qingyi took me to the first floor of the tavern. I saw a jubilant scene. Many travelers and mercenaries who went into the mountains to collect spiritual stones drank and ate here, and even some rough mercenaries hugged each other.
The maid's waist was holding her on her lap, and her hands were up and down. It was full of smoke, and everyone was there.
Sitting down at a table by the window, Luo Qingyi said calmly: "Man, two glasses of ale and two pieces of thick bread."
"Yes, come right away!"
Soon after, food and drink were served. I took a look at my hunger level, which was only 79%. I didn’t need to eat anything for the time being, but since Luo Qingyi was treating me, I would eat some and tear it apart bit by bit.
The bread goes into your mouth. As for the ale, the feeling is not much different from beer, but the taste is a bit stronger.
After waiting for a while, there was a sound of pushing the door open, and then a man wearing a bamboo hat walked in. He threw the money bag around his waist directly on the table, and several shiny coins suddenly fell out.
When the gold coins arrived, a group of mercenaries were so surprised that their eyes widened. The man took off his bamboo hat and revealed an ordinary face. He curled up the corner of his mouth and said, "Call the boss."
"well……"
The clerk's eyes were straightened and he immediately called the boss.
"This guest, what do you need?" The boss said with a flattering look on his face.
"Call all the women in your Fire Dragon Tavern. I want them all tonight!"
"..."
The boss was stunned.
The man immediately threw the gold coin away and landed directly in the boss's arms, saying, "Isn't it enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough..."
The boss smiled happily: "This is just a distinguished guest. All the rooms upstairs in the tavern are full, so... you have to take these * to enjoy elsewhere."
"I know, please."
Not long after, a total of four maids came forward and sat next to the "distinguished guest". Some of them were quite pretty.
"gone!"
The visitor put on a bamboo hat, hugged the maids two on each side, and pushed the door open.
…
"This guy has a problem, follow him."
Luo Qingyi's beautiful eyes were wary, she grabbed the sword on the table and rushed out.
I also hurriedly followed her out of the tavern. In the middle of the night, there was no one on the street, and the fog shrouded the whole town. Luo Qingyi chased her for nearly a mile, and directly came to the outside of the town, and just in the fog
, one person stood, reaching out to lift the bamboo hat, looking at Luo Qingyi with a pair of playful eyes.
He suddenly pushed the maids in his arms out, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said with a ferocious smile: "These vulgar fans are meaningless. The woman I really want to enjoy is you, the one in Julu City."
Lord, Luo Ning’s daughter—Luo Qingyi!”
"Keng!"
Luo Qingyi drew his sword directly.
And at this moment, I also realized that this person's eyes looked familiar. Wasn't he the person who wanted to get his hands on Luo Qingyi in the side hall that night?
"laugh!"
Luo Qingyi stabbed out with his sword, and the dimensional storm around him was fierce!
But the man seemed to be even more manic. He suddenly raised his hand and pulled out a weapon behind him. It was a cone-shaped weapon. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and wisps of flames surged all over his body. With a sudden blow, the flames swept across and hit the ground.
Luo Qingyi's sword hit!
"Peng——"
With a loud noise, Luo Qingyi retreated sharply, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. It was unbelievable that with just one blow, she was already crushed in terms of strength!
