I rubbed my eyes to make sure it was not an hallucination.
Zhou Zhenghao quickly stood up, walked quickly to Xiao Changfeng, and then saluted respectfully.
"Meet His Highness Ninth Prince!"
Zheng Mujin also walked over quickly and bowed Yingying.
"Your Highness, why did you arrive so suddenly? Did something happen in Kyoto?"
Zhou Zhenghao was surprised, but his heart tightened, and he asked quickly.
"Master Zhou, don't be nervous. Kyoto is impregnable and there is no danger."
Xiao Changfeng smiled and helped Zhou Zhenghao and Zheng Mujin up.
"I came here this time, firstly, to see you, and secondly, to understand the current situation in Qingzhou."
Xiao Changfeng has always respected Zhou Zhenghao.
Because he is his mother's only servant.
Over the years, I have never given up and my true intention remains unchanged.
Therefore, Xiao Changfeng regarded him as an uncle in his heart.
"It's good that everything is fine in Kyoto. Although there are some troubles here in Qingzhou, I can still persevere."
After learning that Kyoto was fine, Zhou Zhenghao smiled again.
But suddenly his face turned pale.
Then he spit out a mouthful of blood.
The blood fell on the ground, which was extremely dazzling.
"master!"
Zheng Mujin was shocked and quickly supported Zhou Zhenghao, her pretty face full of worry and fear.
"Master Zhou, your vitality has been severely depleted. Let me heal your wounds first!"
Xiao Changfeng's consciousness spread out and he frowned slightly.
Zhou Zhenghao was in a very bad state at this time.
His vitality was weak and his energy and blood were insufficient, just like a person who has been ill for a long time.
If it weren't for the support of his saint-level strength, he might have collapsed long ago.
This is obviously not a battle injury, but an illness caused by mental and physical exhaustion and years of depression.
This shows how much pressure Zhou Zhenghao has been under these years.
"The heart pulse was damaged, but luckily it was not too late."
Divine consciousness penetrated Zhou Zhenghao's body, and Xiao Changfeng judged the specific injury.
At this time, he asked Zhou Zhenghao to sit cross-legged on the ground.
Then he kneads the formula with both hands and performs the Great Five Elements Immortal Technique.
Immediately, a stream of Five Elements True Essence entered Zhou Zhenghao's body.
boom!
Zhou Zhenghao was shocked all over.
He felt as if his whole body was soaked in the divine water of life, and every cell and meridian in his body was cheering for joy.
The damaged internal organs, muscles and bones were restored quickly.
The damaged heart veins were quickly repaired as before under this surging vitality.
ten minutes later.
Zhou Zhenghao is full of energy, bright eyes and full of vitality.
His illness was not a serious one, and to Xiao Changfeng, it was nothing.
At this time, under the influence of Five Elements True Essence, Zhou Zhenghao's injuries had completely recovered.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to the rescue!"
Zhou Zhenghao stood up and saluted Xiao Changfeng again.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Mujin on the side also put his heart back in his stomach.
"Master Zhou, although you have recovered temporarily, you will still get sick sooner or later if you continue like this. I will give you some pills. If you take them on time, you will not only increase your energy, but also improve your strength."
Xiao Changfeng stretched out his hand and wiped it.
Take out some elixirs from the storage ring.
Among them are Qingmu Dan, which heals wounds, and some other elixirs.
Now that spiritual energy has revived and strong men from outside the world have arrived, Zhou Zhenghao is still only at the saint level.
Such strength is naturally insufficient and needs to be improved.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhou Zhenghao did not refuse and collected all the elixirs.
Then let Zheng Mujin leave first.
"I heard what you were arguing about before. Did the war change? Or did you encounter some difficulties?"
After Zheng Mujin left, Xiao Changfeng asked.
He heard the argument between Xu Moru and Zhao Tian with his spiritual consciousness.
But I didn’t know the specific situation, so I asked Zhou Zhenghao.
"To be fair to Your Highness, the current situation is indeed not good."
Facing Xiao Changfeng, Zhou Zhenghao had nothing to hide.
He immediately spoke and told the current situation in Qingzhou.
"Half a month ago, the Immortal Armor Army was formed. His Majesty decided to give it a try, so he asked Wei Chen to lead the army to try to regain Qingzhou."
"Originally, Qingzhou was occupied by rising local powerhouses and outsider powerhouses, but after we arrived, we found that the situation had changed."
"Everyone in Qingzhou seems to be controlled, like a puppet."
"At the beginning, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Wangjiang City, but when they saw the Xianjia Army, they couldn't help but come and kill them one after another."
"These people were not strong, but they showed no fear or flinch. They were like moths flying to the flames. Therefore, after the capture of Wangjiang City, corpses lay everywhere and rivers of blood flowed."
"But at this moment, a strange thing happened."
Zhou Zhenghao opened his mouth and stated slowly.
At this time, he frowned, and it was obvious that he still had strong doubts in his heart.
"Wangjiang City was originally littered with corpses. Suddenly, all the corpses disappeared overnight."
"Not only the original people, but also the soldiers who died in our Immortal Armor Army, but the guards who were on duty that night didn't know anything. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."
Overnight, all the bodies disappeared.
And there is no trace.
Xiao Changfeng frowned slightly, also puzzled.
"Not only in Wangjiang City, these days, when we go to other towns, the people we meet are like this. Their eyes are blurred, as if they have lost their minds and turned into puppets."
"And whenever someone dies, their bodies will all disappear the next day."
Zhou Zhenghao said again.
This weird thing caused the Xianjia Army to have a bad start.
It also made everyone in the Xianjia army panic and the morale of the army was unstable.
"And this time, we encountered something strange again."
"In Tianshui City, we once again saw the people who were like puppets, but this time they did not actively come to kill them. Instead, they receded like the tide."
"And it's not just Tianshui City. According to the sentry reports, many cities are like this. It seems that they gave up the city and gave it to us."
"Therefore, there are two voices in the army. One thinks that this is a suspicious plot by the enemy behind the scenes. They want to lure our troops to go deep and then catch them all in one fell swoop."
"And another voice thinks that the enemy behind the scenes doesn't want to lose more people, so he takes the initiative to avoid it and should take advantage of the victory to pursue it."
Zhou Zhenghao explained the current situation in detail.
This is also the key to the dispute between Xu Moru and Zhao Tian.
Advance or retreat?
If you advance, you may be lured into going deeper.
If you retreat, you may lose your fighter opportunity.
Zhou Zhenghao has also been troubled by this choice.
"Making people into puppets? The bodies disappear the next day?"
Xiao Changfeng chewed on the news told by Zhou Zhenghao, his eyes flickered, and he was thinking in his heart.
He had a guess in his mind.
But there is no evidence to prove it.
"Master Zhou, you can lead the army deep into the area. I will follow the army. If there is any danger, I will take action."
If you want to verify this guess, you need to go deep into it and lead out the enemy behind the scenes.
In addition, Xiao Changfeng suspected that the unexpected disappearance of Lu Wenjie and Zhao Sanqing might be related to the anomaly in Qingzhou.
So Xiao Changfeng spoke up and gave Zhou Zhenghao a suggestion.
With Xiao Changfeng in charge, Zhou Zhenghao felt at ease.
"I obey my orders, this time I will find out the enemy behind the scenes!" (To be continued)
