Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

When everyone met, they exchanged a few pleasantries and soon got down to business.

One is Qi Ji and the other is Sar.

Guimian rubbed his hands. He had refined a lot of soul-searching talismans before coming here, which should be able to reduce his workload.

He had originally wanted to recycle and reuse the barbarians' bodies, but when he heard that they were all burned on the spot, he felt heartbroken and hated himself for not arriving the night before.

"Could you please stop staring at me like that?"

Ghost Face, who was about to perform the soul-searching technique, raised his head and spoke speechlessly to the gazes cast at him.

Upon hearing this, Bai Shi clasped his hands together and formed a water shield out of thin air, covering Gui Mian without giving him a chance to react.

Ghost Face: "I&…%￥!"

This water shield was built with a soundproof formation, so even if Ghost Face yelled and cursed inside, they couldn't hear it.

Several people were chatting in the Mountain and River Seal, while outside Shen Yian had already left the valley and rushed back to Linyao City.

Through the sound-transmitting jade pendant, he learned about the current situation from Yin Zai and others.

At Saibei City, the barbarian army has already pressed forward, but has not yet attacked the city. It seems that they are making some preparations.

On the other side of the Tiancang Mountains, as the barbarians were unsure of Chen Long's camp, they sent a powerful person in the Divine Wandering Realm. The other party wanted to negotiate, but when the negotiations failed, they fought tentatively for a while and then retreated.

Currently, the barbarian warrior in the Divine Wandering Realm is guarding the northernmost end of the Tiancang Mountains and is not moving.

As for climbing the city wall by the river, the main forces of the two armies faced each other across the river. Although the Dongbai River was a hundred meters wide and the water was turbulent, like a natural moat between the two armies, for both sides, even if there were no bridges or boats, there were not many ways for the army to cross the river.

On the contrary, he is now more worried about Linyao City.

The location of Linyao City is very awkward. It is a border town on the western side of Beilin. Going west into Xining, a few hundred miles south is Saibei City.

The barbarian army has not yet attacked Saibei City, which is most likely related to the fall of Linyao City.

They were afraid that if they attacked Saibei City at this time, the Qian army would go around from behind, causing them to be attacked from both sides.

Shen Yian discovered that once his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the barbarian territory, it would be blocked by an unknown force.

The barbarians' mysterious methods are no less than those of the Demon Cult, so it is better to be careful in your actions.

After thinking about it, he gave up his plan to go north to investigate the enemy situation.

When the enemy comes, we will fight back with soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Guimian and his men are already in position. As long as the strong men in the Divine Wandering Realm do not take action, they will be able to deal with the upcoming offensive.

"Your Highness, the task you assigned me has been completed."

Ghost Face carried Qi Ji out of the Mountain and River Seal.

"Oh?"

Shen Yian's eyes flickered slightly, and he was looking forward to Qi Ji's true identity.

"This guy is a warrior that Your Majesty has trained since he was a child, but he has the blood of the Murong family in his veins..."

As Ghost Face spoke, he saw that his Highness was visibly stunned for a moment.

"Has he had any contact with anyone from the Murong family?"

Shen Yian frowned.

Someone from the Murong family?

Double agent?

Ghost Face nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, I received a letter from the Murong family a few days ago."

The general meaning of the letter is to find an opportunity and use a reasonable way to kill Shen Junyan on the battlefield!

After hearing the contents of the letter, Shen Yian frowned. What did the Murong family mean by this? Why did they want to kill Shen Junyan?

Even if the An family and the Murong family were to fall out, it wouldn't have come to this.

Who will benefit from killing Shen Junyan?

It would be too childish to throw dirty water on yourself.

It seems that Mr. Murong did not learn his lesson from the incident with the Wei family.

Don't forget, Murong Lianshan is still in your hands. Doesn't the old guy in the Murong family want his own brother anymore?

Moreover, once the truth is revealed, not to mention the Murong family, even Murong’s position as queen will be lost.

"What is the purpose?"

Shen Yian asked.

Ghost Face shook his head: "He doesn't know, he just follows orders."

Shen Yian suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Does he know my identity?"

Ghost Face shook his head again: "He guessed it, but denied it himself, and then planned to investigate secretly."

strangeness.

For a moment, Shen Yian really didn't understand why the Murong family did this.

Enrage the old man and escalate the war?

Even if they wanted to profit from the war, they wouldn't risk their lives to such an extreme.

Are there other driving forces behind this?

Lord?

Or someone else.

Shen Yian's eyes gradually darkened.

If there really is someone behind the scenes, is it possible that he could have done something really stupid?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Shen Yian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Take a deep breath.

He couldn't leave here right now, otherwise he would have wanted to take Ghost Face to Murong's house to search the old guy's soul and see what the other party was up to.

"Are there any members of the Murong family among the Red Gold Cavalry?"

Shen Yian's voice sank.

"No, but this guy has trained more than a dozen confidants. They listen to Shen Junyan on the surface, but in fact they only listen to this guy." Ghost Face sighed.

In this world, people’s hearts are hard to predict.

Through Qi Ji's memory, we can see that Shen Junyan has taken good care of him for so many years, but in the end he is an ungrateful person.

At this moment, Shen Yian suddenly found that it was also very frustrating to stand in the perspective of his second brother Shen Junyan.

In front of him is his brother who wants to kill him, and behind him is his worry-inducing mother and his entire family.

On top of that, the old man also wanted to reduce his military power. As long as Shen Junyan was not a fool, he would be able to sense this to some extent.

This is the second brother, the real “King of Pressure Resistance”.

If someone else came, he might rebel and find a place to establish himself as king.

As for Qi Ji, he had to be returned to Shen Junyan first, and by taking advantage of the other party's suspicion, he could try to draw out the Murong family's subsequent arrangements.

When a cornered dog jumps over the wall, Qi Ji will die.

Shen Yian asked one more question, hoping that Qi Ji would wake up as an "idiot" after searching his soul.

Ghost Face chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. My method this time is very gentle. He will have a headache for a few days at most when he wakes up."

Afterwards, Shen Yian contacted Yin Zai and asked Xuan Xing to pay attention to the recent movements of the Murong family. At the same time, he also contacted that guy Qingdi.

If possible, he hopes that the teacher can return to Tianwu City to take charge and prevent his hometown from being stolen.

I feel more at ease knowing that the teacher is staying in Tianwu City.

"Did you get the answer you wanted?"

In the tent, Shen Junyan supported Qi Ji who was thrown over by Shen Yian, and said in a deep voice.

"I guess so. I also got the answer you wanted, Your Highness."

Shen Yian chuckled.

"What do you mean?"

Shen Junyan stepped forward to ask more questions, but Shen Yian turned around and left the tent.

Staring blankly at the other person's departing back, Shen Junyan turned his head and fixed his gaze on Qi Ji.

If there was any problem with Qi Ji, he would not be released by the other party.

But what did I mean by what I just said?

The day passes quickly and night falls quietly.

The city wall was still brightly lit. The only 3,000 remaining prisoners worked non-stop from early morning till night and finally completed half of the repair of the city wall and gate.

In order to prevent them from cutting corners, after each part was repaired, someone from the Ministry of Works would go to check whether it was up to standard. If there was a problem, the prisoner in charge of that part would lose the right to eat.

Shen Yian stood on the northern city wall and looked into the distance. A huge black cloud was approaching from afar.

There was no movement all day, but what was supposed to come finally came.
