In the afternoon, Xia Yi led Lin Jingjing and chased them to the vicinity of the demon hunting brigade.
He had been away for a whole day, and the demon hunting brigade seemed to have absorbed another small team and grown stronger. The demons living in groups would never dare to take advantage of it. They were invincible and there was no need to worry about safety.
Xia Yi said to Lin Jingjing: "Go and meet your classmates, I still have things to do."
"Well, thank you, senior."
Xia Yi nodded and patted the mink baby's bald head again: "Remember not to mention this thing on my shoulder to your classmates. Keep it a secret for me and tell them to continue searching for the demon hunting team."
"I understand, senior."
The baby mink, who was in a sleepy state, secretly rolled his eyes. What is this thing? This queen is a mink demon, and her fur is a hundred times more expensive than gold...
It seems like there is nothing to be proud of.
When it opened its eyes, it was suddenly startled and found that Xia Yi was leading it towards the three-ring barrier of the monster hunting ground at high speed, and a trace of excitement quietly emerged.
Is this...going out?
It has lived in the monster hunting ground since it was a child. It only heard about the colorful world outside from the old man who taught it the human language, but it never expected to be able to go out one day.
The world outside...
It would be better if this evil old human man didn't look at this queen...
"Based on your body shape, the whole skin can be peeled off to make a small coat. I don't know the value in detail, but it is probably worth one million taels. Do you know what a million taels means? It can make an entire city full of people.
I won’t have to worry about food and drink for half a year.”
Xia Yi seemed to know what Diao Baobao was thinking, and smiled and said: "If you are seen by a five-star monk other than me, you will die. Whether you want to be honest after leaving the monster hunting ground is up to you."
The baby mink covered its numb scalp with its paws.
The excitement slowly dissipated.
Humans are all devils! This baby is so cute, but they all want to take my skin off!
…
After leaving the monster hunting ground, Xia Yi sneaked into the monk camp stationed outside the monster hunting ground.
It has been almost 24 hours since Zheng Shun 'disappeared'. He needs to check the situation outside and decide what to do next.
Except for Zheng Shun, the highest ranking monk in the monk camp is a five-star Yuheng monk. Unless there is a special detection holy soul like the Record of Purge, Xia Yi cannot be found, and it is not difficult to sneak in.
As he expected, Zheng Shun acted in secret, and the matter of finding a demon to deal with Xia Yi could not be announced to the public. Maybe some close friends knew about it, maybe not.
In short, at least at this time, the monks in the monk camp have not noticed the general's disappearance, there is no chaos, and everything is still in order.
After that, Xia Yi found the leader of the Lieyang City team, the deputy dean of Yanzhou Holy Academy in Yingzhou, and the three leaders of the demon hunting trial in the monk camp.
They were guarded by monks from the monk camp in different tents. Xia Yi knew their situation, but he was not in a hurry to show up in front of the leading teachers in Lieyang City.
Instead, he sneaked into the main tent of the monk camp, Zheng Shun's tent, and conducted a brief search.
Although I know that the order sent by King Zheng to Zheng Shun will probably not be put on paper and leave evidence, but some things should be there.
Sure enough, there were two royal orders on the table, the first of which was the royal order regarding changes to the rules of the demon hunting trial!
With it here, it makes sense for Zheng Shun to let the many monks who were protecting the students evacuate secretly.
It is impossible to attack from this aspect. As for destroying this royal decree secretly? Not only is it useless, but it will leave trouble.
Putting down this letter, Xia Yi picked up another one.
After reading only a few lines, he became serious.
This is an order to mobilize troops!
King Zheng vaguely ordered Zheng Shun to "complete that thing" and personally lead half of the monk battalion elites to the southern frontier army camp to support and guard against Qi's attack and invasion!
"Is there going to be a war?"
Xia Yi murmured solemnly.
There are two countries bordering Zheng State, Liao State in the northwest and Qi State in the southwest. These three countries border each other.
As for the east end, there is an endless ocean.
Among these three countries, according to the information Xia Yi knows, Qi is the strongest, Zheng is slightly weaker, and Liao is the weakest. And more importantly, Zhizhou is the southernmost state of Zheng!
Linqi City, the southernmost city in Zhizhou, borders Qi State. The border army camp is near Linqi City. If a war really breaks out, Lieyang City will definitely be involved!
After reading the royal decree twice, Xia Yi couldn't find the reason for the outbreak of war, but suddenly he let out a light sigh and rubbed his fingers.
The next moment, he mobilized the power of his holy soul and cut along the edge of the royal order. He actually peeled off a thin layer of paper and discovered the second layer of the royal order!
This was controlled and pasted with extremely fine power of the Holy Soul. It was so delicate that Xia Yi could hardly detect it. Could it be a secret message to Zheng Shun?
The handwriting of this letter is completely different from that written by Wang Ling. The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, opening and closing, and the words reveal a majestic momentum!
'Yi Xia, oh no, your real name shouldn't be Yi Xia, maybe Xia Yi?'
The first line of the letter made Xia Yi slightly startled. After a few seconds, he smiled and continued reading.
‘Zheng Shun couldn’t find the secret layer of this royal order. The only one who sees this letter is you.
And since you have seen this letter, Zheng Shun must have failed. Is he dead? Or what? Haha, it doesn’t matter anymore.’
'An unknown ancestor of your Xia family once passed down a saying that I now find very reasonable: plans are not as fast as changes.'
'On December 2, the second day after the demon hunting trial started, Gu received a message from the Wei Dynasty. There was a demon king of the tiger clan making trouble, which prompted the two old immortals from the main hospital to take action personally. The result was that both sides suffered losses.
You were even run away by the tiger clan demon king. I knew at that time that it would be impossible to use outside forces to deal with you!'
Xia Yi's expression moved slightly, Tiger Demon God?
In addition to the dragon, phoenix and monkey, the tiger demon god should be the strongest demon god in the second level. Is it in the Wei Dynasty?
'Similarly, if you want to use the same method to counterattack Gu, there is no hope. Now those two immortals have no time to pay attention to our Dazheng affairs. Do you feel that your plan has been disrupted? Hahaha
Haha, plans are not as fast as changes. As expected of the ancestors of the Xia family, ordinary words also contain various philosophies.'
'There is something you may not know yet. More than half a month ago, on the same day that you killed the rat demon king, the monkey demon god Wu himself appeared and at the cost of death, disrupted the star road and the kings of the seven soul realms.
You won't be able to return for at least three to five years!'
Xia Yi's eyes narrowed, who is he really?!
Death? What happened to Guo Daneng?
'Demon kings appear frequently, but the kings are lost in the starry sky. The Holy Soul Continent is already in chaos, Dajin is deploying troops to plan for the Liao Kingdom, and our country, Zheng and Qi, will soon break out into a national war!'
'A new era is about to begin!'
'Whoever can be the first to be promoted to king in this era has the hope of becoming the Taizu of Wei in this era, or even the first emperor!'
‘I am very happy to have you as my opponent, Xia Yi, please please me to your heart’s content, and try your best to gather the Yaoguang stars! As a qualified... plaything!’ – King Zheng Zhao Tuo!
"Plaything? Statement of war? Chuunibyou?"
Xia Yi was speechless and slowly tore the letter into pieces.
"No, this is a plan to be crowned king. Prince Zheng is already very close to becoming a king...but the day when I will be more prosperous than I am is not far away."
