Chapter 256 Damn it! Your Highness is kidding again!
"Don't look for him. This kind of person has no identity."
Ximen Hao had a gloomy face and walked over under the protection of the royal guards.
Looking at the spy who remained silent, I felt a little worried in my heart.
There are spies, which means that someone is paying attention to your whereabouts.
And this spy came up with a killing move, obviously he came with bad intentions!
"It's a pity that Ming Gui didn't come, otherwise we would have known who it was."
Shen Da failed in the end and did not find any clues from the spies.
"Xiao Ji, what do you think?" Ximen Hao looked at the spy and asked.
"Your Highness, there must be something fishy about this matter." Ji Wubing said, waving his fan.
"..."
Ximen Hao was speechless, he thought of Yuan Fang.
"Huayin County~Does Master Hao have enemies in Huayin County? No, right? Master Hao is kind to the entire Huayin County!"
He could never understand that in this place that had just been hit by floods, someone would be harmful to him.
As for me, I came up with disaster relief methods myself and built the Grand Canal here. I can say that I am the great benefactor of Huayin County!
Ji Wubing knelt down, reached out and touched the corpse's face, then looked at his hands and frowned.
After a moment, he said:
"Your Highness, although this man is a warrior, his skin is delicate and hydrated. Although it is rainy in Huayin County, the climate is not very moist. So..."
As he spoke, he looked towards the south.
Then he raised his arm in a pretentious manner, pointed to the south with his feather fan and said in a low voice:
"Your Highness, don't forget, there is a wolf in the south!"
Ximen Hao's expression darkened and he also looked towards the south, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Ximen Wentian is so ambitious! It seems that Master Hao is too powerful, which makes him feel pressured."
"..."
Everyone was speechless and looked at the two of them pretending to be cool.
Ji Wubing nodded, then looked at Zhao Yunlong and others and said:
"Cheer up, everyone, there are people who want to do harm to His Highness here!"
"yes!"
Zhao Yunlong and others responded in unison.
"Here? Why not Huainan? Isn't it better there?" Ximen Hao asked doubtfully.
"Cough cough cough~ Your Highness, don't forget, there is a tiger in Huainan, watching the wolf! Moreover, if you take action here, you can also put aside the relationship to avoid being exposed."
Ji Wubing was Ji Wubing, and he saw Cheng Gong's plan clearly.
Ximen Hao understood immediately, nodded, and then said solemnly:
"Master Hao doesn't care whether he is a wolf or a tiger! If they dare to take advantage of Master Hao, Ximen Guang will be their fate!"
With that said, he poured out the primary vitality pill from the medicine bottle, swallowed it like a jelly bean, and then, as if joking, he broke through!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, your level has reached the late stage of Forging God!"
Magical power: scattering beans and forming soldiers (2/10)
"boom!"
A burst of energy spread out, causing everyone to look at Ximen Hao.
"Damn it! Your Highness is joking again!"
Ji Wubing was startled by the strong energy fluctuations, and at the same time he was extremely envious.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! Another breakthrough in cultivation!"
Zhao Yunlong and others all congratulated each other. Although no one said anything, everyone admired him!
This is such a breakthrough, it really seems like a joke.
"Wow! Big brother is so annoying! But big brother, let's go, this person died so miserably, Mengmeng is afraid~"
Ji Mengmeng grabbed Ximen Hao's arm, her face a little scared, and she didn't dare to look at the body on the ground.
The opponent himself is in the middle stage of God Forging, but he has never fought, let alone killed someone.
"I'm afraid, big brother will protect you and protect you for the rest of your life."
Ximen Hao patted Ji Mengmeng's little hand, then kicked the body and cursed:
"It's a waste of Master Hao's bag."
After saying that, he flew onto the demon lin.
Others were confused when they heard this, but Ji Wubing rolled his eyes as if he understood something.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
The group set out again, walking on the muddy official road, and continued heading south.
After entering the flood-stricken areas, Ximen Hao discovered that the floods were far more serious than imagined.
There were damaged houses everywhere, and there were even some bodies of people and animals that had been drowned by the floods and had not had time to dispose of.
Floating on some small puddles, it looks extremely desolate.
In addition, the climate gets warmer as you go south, and it is almost the same as Donglin City in the sky and underground! Therefore, there is still a strong rancid smell in the air.
Fortunately, the disaster relief was timely and all the people here have been relocated, otherwise the plague would have spread quickly.
In three days, Ximen Hao and others traveled non-stop, but the tragedy along the way was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
Especially Ximen Hao felt that the canal matter should be completed quickly.
However, when he was on his way, he took a slight detour and saw that local officials in Huayin County were preparing for the canal in advance, which made him feel better.
"Slow down~ I'm tired."
Ximen Hao saw that there were gradually more people and caravans on the official road, so he slowed down the team and took a breath at the same time.
They had been traveling day and night since they left Tianqing City, and they were indeed a little overwhelmed.
"Your Highness, are you still thinking about the flood?"
Ji Wubing let the big dog run a few steps and caught up with Ximen Hao.
Ximen Hao sat cross-legged on Mo Lin's back, blowing the cool breeze with a fan. He felt that his body was a little sticky. The further south he went, the greater the humidity.
"Sigh~ We only passed through a part of the area after the flood. I really don't know how many people will die."
After all, these are his people from now on, so he can't bear it.
Ji Wubing nodded. Although the other party was shameless and insidious, caring about the country and the people was what made a good emperor.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Once the Grand Canal persists, there will be much fewer floods in the future. Even if they occur, there will not be such large-scale floods. Your Highness, my father is indeed right about you."
Even though he sometimes despises Ximen Hao, sometimes he really admires him!
"The canal cannot be completed in a short time, and I just said that, it will be difficult to actually implement it... Forget it, let's not mention it, how long will it take to reach Huainan County?"
Ximen Hao didn't want to bring up troubles anymore, so he should let his cheap man worry about these first.
Ji Wubing glanced around, then pinched his fingers a few times and said:
"If nothing happens, we can arrive in three days. Your Highness, there is plenty of time. We will only be out for thirteen days in total."
"I'm not worried about time, but about the spy. He's almost out of Huayin County, why hasn't he made any move yet? Xiao Ji, do you think we made a mistake?"
"Probably not. It's probably because something happened to the spies and they haven't reacted yet. I guess..."
As Ji Wubing spoke, he glanced at the sky and saw that the sun was already setting.
"I estimate that tonight or tomorrow night, Your Highness, it would be better to find a city to stay. That would be safer."
"No! You have to leave the city after entering the city. Master Hao wants to see what he is capable of!"
Ximen Hao said, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
However, in the past three or four days, it would be great if I opened a red envelope, and it would be even better if the red envelope contained a magic charm.
Just as he was facing it, a notification sound suddenly popped up in his mind.
