Xiuzhu took the lead and met Lieutenant General Wang.

"Lieutenant General Wang, your opponent is me, come on."

"Who are you? Where are you from?"

"Too many questions. You don't need to know these before you go to Hades' Palace."

Xiuzhu is Cangyu's first-class guard. After being baptized by blood on the battlefield, his blade is domineering and can create gusts of strong wind.

Although Lieutenant General Wang was also a junior general in the camp, Nanqi had not seen a war for a long time, and his daily training was no match for real combat. He was obviously inferior to Xiuzhu in strength and momentum. In less than a few dozen rounds, he was knocked off his horse by Xiuzhu, and before he died, he still didn't know by whom he died.

When the other soldiers saw that the three prisoner carts in the middle of the team had been split open and the leading general had been beheaded, they no longer had the will to fight and did not care about their comrades in front and behind the team. They rode their horses back to the destination.

Qian You got on a horse at random and rode up to Lu Bo.

"Master Baiyang, don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't know anything."

"If you don't know anything, what's the point of living?"

Qian You chuckled, and his light words were like death-threatening gongs and drums, beating on Lu Bo's eardrums.

He carefully hid in the border town and finally waited for a good life. Is he going to die just like that?

"You ask, I'll tell you everything I know, okay, okay?"

Lu Bo was so desperate to survive that he crawled on the ground.

"Okay, then I'll keep you for a while and see if you're valuable."

Qian You glanced at the people who were following him.

Lin Qi was very tactful in tying up Lu Bo and throwing him to the brothers who were coming from behind.

"Young Master, there are only about a hundred of the two thousand soldiers running back. Should we chase them?"

"Don't chase them. Tell them to retreat into the forest."

Nearly a thousand people came silently and left silently.

In less than an hour, corpses were scattered all over the official road, and perhaps some people were not yet dead.

A few days later, there was a sensation in various counties and cities of Nanqi.

"The prince is back. I heard he brought an unknown group with him and defeated the garrison at Lujiapo."

"Not many people, but they wiped out the two thousand soldiers who were holding the prince in custody in less than an hour. The people around the prince are really powerful!"

"The prince has received help from an expert and is coming to seize the throne."

"I heard that the current emperor did not ascend to the throne without the imperial seal, which is not legitimate."

"Do you still want to have a head? How dare you say such a thing?"

From the border military camps of Nanqi, to the rural villages, to the bustling streets, until the news spread to the imperial palace, the speed of the news was beyond imagination.

Qi Yi sat in the palace hall with a very gloomy face.

"Can anyone tell me what happened to Qi Luobai?"

He had just received the official report this morning about the rumors spreading throughout Nanqi, which made him extremely angry.

A minister stepped forward and tried to calm His Majesty.

Minister of War Gao Luming glanced at the well-mannered old minister, strode out of the line, and knelt down to ask for orders.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to search for the former crown prince. As long as he is still in Nanqi, I will make sure he has nowhere to escape."

"Approved! I give you one month to bring Qi Luobai to me. Also, find out who the people who helped Qi Luobai are and what their sphere of influence is."

"Yes! Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will find out as soon as possible."

Qi Yi sat on the dragon throne, pinching his brows.

He felt a little uneasy.

Qi Luobai showed up, but why didn’t his junior fellow apprentice Jiang Tao and his son Qi Luozhou send back any news? Could they have encountered some danger?

Also, who are the people around Qi Luobai?

Luo Zhou hasn't found his hiding place in Dongcang for such a long time. It seems that these people are of some importance.

Two days later, there were suddenly many more checkpoints from the imperial city to various prefectures and counties.

Qi Luobai and Bai Yang's portraits were posted everywhere. The patrolling soldiers checked everyone entering and leaving the city gate one by one, but they could not find any clues, which made the Minister of War Gao Luming increasingly frustrated.

"Still no movement? Have the people we sent to Dongcang earlier returned?"

The person was not found, and there was no clue. Almost half a month had passed, and the words he had vowed in the hall were like a tight hoop that was getting tighter and tighter.

“Two people who investigated Dongcang have returned.

"Quick pass."

"Sir Shangshu, I was ordered to sneak into Dongcang and found out some information. I will come back to report immediately."

"Speak!" Gao Luming straightened his clothes and sat up straight.

"I followed the direction from Nanqi to Dongcang and heard something in a small town a thousand miles away from Kyoto.

More than a month ago, there was a large-scale fight in that area. Some people saw blood all over the ground, but no one reported it. During that time, the surrounding villages were very nervous. "

A middle-aged man looked exhausted, probably having traveled for several days.

"Has anyone seen them? Could it be the eldest prince Qi Luozhou and others?"

"I have privately inquired and found that more than a hundred people have lived in the nearby village for more than half a year, but they have never interacted with the villagers. According to my speculation, they must be the eldest prince's men.

I heard that their house was burned down by fire a few days ago, and the people disappeared. "

"So, the people of the eldest prince Qi Luozhou should have been killed in Dongcang?"

Gao Luming was a little frightened and continued questioning.

"Do you know who did it?"

"I found a hunter who witnessed the incident and used threats and bribes to get information. He said that he saw many men in black from afar, but he surrounded more than a hundred people in just one hour."

"It's the men in black again. Are there such powerful men in black in Dongcang? What forces do they belong to?"

"I am incompetent. These have not been discovered yet."

"Forget it. Even Qi Luozhou stayed in Dongcang for several months and didn't find anything. It's normal that you can't find anything in just a few days. Okay, go down and rest."

Gao Luming straightened his clothes and ran quickly towards the palace.

"You said that Luo Zhou and others might be wiped out?"

Qi Yi was very surprised.

"The news is still uncertain. However, based on the eyewitnesses' description of the process and the time and place, it should be around the same time that Qi Luobai returned."

Qi Yi pursed his lips, the wrinkles on his face became deeper, and he looked majestic and cold.

Qi Luozhou is his eldest son, who is highly favored by him and has inherited his true teachings. He is ruthless, murderous, and has a strong ambition.

The world of Nanqi should have belonged to them father and son, or even not just Nanqi. Why couldn't they unify the world like the previous Lan Dynasty?

It’s just that my brother has been too kind in recent years, and he has ruined the good period of war among countries, and he has not taken the opportunity to expand the territory.

Kindness cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot be a leader.

He has always looked down on his brother's conciliatory policy.

Although he also admitted that his brother treated him like a brother and a father, without any indebtedness.

This is also why he hopes that Qi Luobai can realize his own weakness and take the initiative to return the jade seal. He will take care of him and ensure he will live a peaceful and wealthy life.

But why?

He has no one to rely on now, so what is he still struggling for?
