Star Trace Gate

She is so sexy...

Li Yan looked at the gorgeous woman in front of him and replied calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you are making fun of me. I practice the way of abstinence, but I have never enjoyed the pleasure of sex."

Behind him, a handsome little follower sneered when he heard this: "Oh, it's not like you're using a corpse to come back to life and do something like Nine Phoenixes Swallowing the Sun in Tianchi, right?"

"Giggle."

The woman covered her mouth and smiled, her body shaking: "When people are born, their nature is theirs, and the union of yin and yang is the way of heaven. Daoist friends, practicing this way that goes against human nature... Alas, I'm afraid it's too hard."

What does it have to do with you whether I’m tired or not?

You seem to be very concerned. Why don't you use your shield to try my spear?

Li Yan has no interest in such an openly aggressive opponent. He prefers those who are more extreme, either extremely subtle and restrained, or extremely rough and accidental.

"I have been practicing this since I was young, I am used to it."

"What a pity...!" Xun Yao looked at Li Yan's body and shook her head as if with regret.

"My fellow Taoist, you just said, who are we coming here for?" Li Yan leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

Xun Yao replied with a smile: "You should have been invited from outside the border, right?! Although our boss has never told us the details of the mission, the local supernatural masters in Southern Xinjiang have already spread the news. Last night, there was a battle in the Immortal Mountain, and thousands of supernatural masters entered the Mausoleum of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings, just to capture the little King Huai."

Li Yan paused for a moment and asked in surprise, "Is it the young Prince Huai of Qingliang Mansion?"

"Of course." Xun Yao nodded slightly: "Besides him, is there another Little King Huai in this frontier land?"

"Then why did we come here...!" Li Yan tried to ask half a sentence.

"Haha, those who practice the way of abstinence really have bad brains." Xun Yao sneered, "We are the ones who hold the line. We didn't go up the mountain, but came to the city instead. Why do you think this is? It must be that the progress in the mountain is not smooth, and if the little prince wants to leave Funan, he must pass through here. So, we come here to wait for the rabbit."

Li Yan ignored the other party's ridicule, but was shocked inside.

Damn it, damn it... The relationship between me and Ren Daguo’s family is really a tangled mess.

Thinking back to the time when I was in such a mess in Qingliang Prefecture and was trapped for so long, it was actually all because of Ren Daguo's random changes to the "script". It had something to do with it. I was so depressed...

Later, Ren Daguo's soul returned to Kunlun Mountain. Because of Ren Ye's relationship, he inexplicably became Ren Qingning's cheap master. Not only did he worry about him all the way, but he also had to take away some rare treasures occasionally.

This time when he returned to Daqian, he wanted to take advantage of Ren Qingning's work on the promotion mission to do something for himself, find the fragments of the Qinglong letter, and bring his physical body one step closer.

But I never thought that after all these twists and turns, this matter was actually related to Ren Ye.

I am really convinced.

For a moment, Li Yan had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He came from Daqian and took the job from a high-ranking sorcerer in the Tianjiansi of Shangyu County. The other party told him that the condition for exchanging the Azure Dragon Letter was to come to southern Xinjiang and do something for the Tianjiansi.

Afterwards, he traveled all the way to southern Xinjiang with his four followers, and first met the contact person Zou Qing, and then met a man named Xu Ersan.

Through the conversation, he knew that Xu Ersan was the boss of this mission, and at this moment, the mission was also clear - that was to capture the young King Huai.

But the key point is that the place they arrived at was actually Loushan Pass in Funan County, which is the territory of the Southern Xinjiang court. However, the people that Daqian Tianjiansi was looking for were able to disguise themselves and try to wait here.

What does this mean?

This means that not only Daqian’s Tianjiansi took action in the secret encirclement and suppression of Little Huai King, but also someone in the Southern Xinjiang court must have conspired with him.

My goodness!

Ren Ye, what on earth did you do? You weren't captured by the Queen of Daqian and taken to the park, were you? Otherwise, why would you cause such a big commotion?

Li Yan stood there in a daze, with only one question in his mind.

what should I do?

If you help Ren Ye, the Azure Dragon Letter will definitely be gone.

If he didn't help Ren Ye, Madam Tang Feng would draw a 38th parallel on the bed and they would never sleep together again. The falling out between him and Ren Qingning's master and disciple had only happened in the past two days. Most importantly, he was a little afraid that Ren Daguo, the old man, was very perverted. If he left behind a will after his death and harmed him again, it would be very uncomfortable...

There are also Lin Xiang and Zhao Baicheng who are keeping watch on the New Year, and the old man who is defrauding the Chamber of Commerce...

Shit, I suddenly realized that this kid Ren Ye has placed a lot of people around me.

Ugh.

what can I do?

Of course, I choose to continue loving him.

At this moment, Li Yan, who had not been seen for a long time, decided to give up "The Blue Dragon Letter" in an instant.

Soon, in front of the city gate.

A centurion walked out of the city gate, waved his hand and shouted, "The general has ordered, let them in."

"Thank you."

The sturdy man in the lead clasped his fists and replied, then he led more than 20 masters and walked into Loushan Pass in a low-key manner.

Like Guo Zheng and others who had died in the watchtower before, they also took a small path when entering, and tried their best to avoid local generals and officials, and only quietly came to the top of the city wall.

When they reached the front of the watchtower, the leading strong man said to the crowd, "Follow Lord Wang's personal soldiers and go to the side rooms to rest. If there is nothing important, try not to leave."

Everyone looked at him straight in the eyes and nodded slightly, without much humility or respect in their eyes.

You know, those who can appear here with Li Yan must be powerful people with some reputation in the border areas. They come here to help, just to repay favors or to get benefits. In essence, it is an employment relationship, which is very different from subordinates.

Not long after, a woman in a black robe came out and quietly left with Li Yan and more than 20 people.

The common man who was leading the group walked into the watchtower.

After the door was closed, Wang Shantang walked out of the back hall and asked with a smile, "How many people are there?"

"There are more than twenty people, and they will be here in an hour at the latest." The man in plain clothes replied softly.

With no outsiders present, Wang Shantang acted a little frivolous, not like a seasoned official at all. With a faint smile on his face, he waved his hand and said, "Sit down."

The man in plain clothes wrinkled his nose, turned his head and looked around: "Is there someone being killed here?"

"Yes. A few Golden Scaled Owl Guards came from Hezhou Prefecture and I killed them." Wang Shantang said as if he was talking about a trivial matter, sitting lazily on a wooden chair: "The purple-robed sorcerer from the Tianjian Division used a compass to sense and found that there was a formation fluctuation in the southwest direction of Funan County around the beginning of the morning hour."

The man in plain clothes stepped forward, sat upright on the chair, frowned and asked, "You mean, the little King Huai is out?"

"The Lord of Tianxi Cave sent a message saying that our people have searched all the places in the mountain that can be entered by people with supernatural powers, but still no trace of Little Huai Wang and others has been found." Wang Shantang picked up the teacup and replied, "Plus, there are formation fluctuations in the southwest direction of Funan, so I infer that Little Huai Wang must have been teleported to the county by some unknown means."

The commoner paused for a moment and said in a serious tone, "Funan County and Loushan Pass are not big or small. If there are only six people hiding here, and they are all masters of supernatural powers, it would be difficult to find them without three or two days. You have already received the imperial edict, and the Golden Scaled Owl Guards have just arrived. This means that the ruler of Southern Xinjiang has sent a large number of generals here. This... we don't have much time left."

"That's right." Wang Shantang nodded and said with a sinister smile: "Little Prince Huai has obtained the Earth Dragon Six Jia, and the ruler of Southern Xinjiang is already anxious. Before tonight, we must find Little Prince Huai, otherwise once the court officials arrive, my stinking corpse will be of no use."

"Find the young King Huai before tonight?" The man in plain clothes asked faintly, "Have you come up with any plan?"

"I figured it out." Wang Shantang slowly stood up and walked in the main hall of the watchtower with his hands behind his back. "The number of soldiers in Funan County is limited, and some of them will be sent to the Bulao Mountain to "suppress bandits." We don't have many people we can use. So, if we want to force the little prince Huai out, we must make the whole Funan County panic."

"How to do it?" asked the man in plain clothes.

"Kill people." Wang Shantang turned his head to look at the commoner and said calmly, "Kill a large number of people on the pretext of harboring stolen goods. Make everyone in Funan County feel insecure, and make all the people tremble with fear when they hear the three words "Little Huai Wang". In this way, no one in the county's inns or other places of stay will dare to hide unfamiliar faces, and they will spontaneously report it, so the Little Huai Wang will naturally have nowhere to hide."

"Kill the civilians?" The man in plain clothes instantly showed an expression of resistance.

"The people living in the border areas in troubled times are no different from pigs and dogs. If they don't die, they will suffer if they live. Killing a bunch of them can be regarded as acting in the name of justice." Wang Shantang replied casually, and turned his head to look at the common man with a smile: "Xu Ersan, haha, you don't want to speak for these people, do you?"

In a word, the identity of the commoner was revealed. He was none other than Xu Ersan, the general of Wu Yuanjun who had escorted the young master away that year. He was also the only general who walked out of the Bulao Mountain alive.

As time goes by, the young general back then now has half a head of white hair.

"You have to remember that you are now a rebel, not a general who protects the country. Everything here has nothing to do with you." Wang Shantang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scorching sun outside the window. "After killing someone, the people from the Tianjiansi will bring a compass and search the southwest direction of Funan County carefully. During the day, I will do both... As long as the little Prince Huai has arrived in the county, there is no way he can continue to hide."

Although Xu Ersan was extremely resistant and disgusted in his heart, after he and Guanfeng had reached this point, there were many things he could no longer control.

Inside the main hall of the watchtower, he sat silently on a chair, letting the shadows of the beams and pillars cover his entire body.

"Send a letter to the master of Tianxi Cave and ask him to lead his men down the mountain quietly." Wang Shantang murmured softly.

……

Inside the city wall, in a wing room.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yan said to a follower, "You need to go out for a while."

"Master, what do you want me to do?!"

"Help me deliver the letter." Li Yan replied thoughtfully.
