"Ah Xuan, you are so timid now."

"Where did you have the courage when you and Lao Zhao came to the North to rescue us?"

Wei Zhen laughed, not worried at all.

But Li Xuan looked at Wei Zhen with great concern.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wei Zhen scratched his head.

"I am worried about you, old man."

Li Xuan was too embarrassed to say it directly.

Among the people present, only Li Xuan and Wei Zhen were still fourth-grade.

But Li Xuan had Yin-Yang Qi, and it was estimated that beating ten Wei Zhens was not a problem. Even if he faced a third-grade master, he could hold on for a while.

But Wei Zhen...

No matter how slow Wei Zhen was, he realized that he was looked down upon by the cat.

"Ah Xuan, Doctor Cat!"

"If you look at me like that again, I will be angry!"

Wei Zhen said with his eyes wide open.

Li Xuan retracted his gaze guiltily, but that little expression had already betrayed his true thoughts.

"Alas, what a world this is."

"Is the fourth rank so unpresentable now?"

Wei Zhen himself said, and he also felt a sigh.

Zhao Feng, who was in the same period as him, had already entered the realm of the upper third rank, but he was still far away.

Wei Zhen had been stuck in the fourth rank for many years. He applied to lead a team of hunting officers outside, hoping to make a breakthrough in his travels in the northern border.

But talent is something that becomes more obvious when it reaches the peak.

Zhao Feng is more talented than him, which was something Wei Zhen knew when he was young.

Otherwise, Wei Zhen would not have failed to become a disciple of Shang Zongguan.

It's just that Zhao Feng had been seriously injured before, which made his body worse than before and his cultivation stagnated for many years.

But he never thought that when the two met again after a long time, Zhao Feng had stepped on the wind to save him from danger.

Even though Wei Zhen was happy for his old friend, he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself on the other hand.

After so many years, he still hasn't been able to comprehend his own path, and there is no sign of even touching the threshold.

And today Wei Zhen is very fortunate.

Among the four hunting teams, only he stayed in the capital and participated in this southern tour.

Something happened in the northern border. With the current relationship between Daxing and the desert, Wei Zhen's team is no longer suitable to continue to take risks there.

The other hunting teams returned to the capital early last year, and after a rest, they started the hunting trip of the new year.

Only their northern team was free and served in the Red Scarf Team.

During the time in the Red Scarf Team, Wei Zhen and his team members got enough rest.

And this time on the southern tour, Wei Zhen did not intend to be a spectator, but to show his strength.

He is not young anymore, and now he can get such an opportunity to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, so he naturally has to seize it.

I am afraid that no one knows Wei Zhen's awareness at this time except himself.

He has long put life and death aside, so he didn't care too much about Li Xuan's underestimation.

And he also knew that Li Xuan was worried about him.

After all, Wei Zhen had heard that in the previous battles, all the masters sent by King Zheng were of the upper third rank.

The fourth rank was just the level of a secret guard leader.

"Ah Xuan, since His Majesty has assigned me a task, I have no choice but to complete it."

Seeing Wei Zhen's firm attitude, Li Xuan had no choice but to say:

"Then be careful."

In the battle between the upper third ranks, Li Xuan could only play a supporting role, and he might not be able to take care of Wei Zhen.

This time, Emperor Yongyuan sent the four of them to stay in the government office.

They were in an inn not far from the government office.

Here, Li Xuan could sense Jiang Pu's whereabouts.

Jiang Pu was also afraid of death. After Emperor Yongyuan left, he immediately used his connections and spent a lot of money to invite a third-rank master in the martial arts world.

Although this person was of the third rank, his aura was mediocre, and he was not a little bit worse than the two general managers.

But it was better than nothing anyway, at least it could consume the power of King Zheng.

Li Xuan kept an eye on the aura of Jiang Pu and the martial arts master beside him, waiting for King Zheng's men to come.

They waited for a whole day, until night fell, and there was no movement in the government office.

Several strange auras sneaked into the government office and went straight to Jiang Pu's room.

Their auras were not hidden, and Li Xuan could sense them clearly.

"Here they come, meow!"

"Three people, all third-grade meows!"

Li Xuan was surprised.

He immediately strengthened his perception and searched the whole city, but did not find the aura of other masters.

But he was happy for a short time, and immediately remembered something.

"King Zheng has a way to hide his aura. Wouldn't he use the same trick on us?"

Li Xuan remembered how they had tricked King Zheng on the cliff before, and now he couldn't help but fear that King Zheng would use his own method to treat him.

"Don't worry, Ah Xuan."

Manager Shang touched Li Xuan's head with his finger.

"Since the last conflict in the government office, His Majesty and King Zheng have been extremely vigilant."

"Both sides are very clear that any omission will give the opposing general an opportunity."

"King Zheng will not gamble with his life."

General Manager Shang said it with great confidence, and Li Xuan also felt relieved.

But then General Manager Shang suddenly changed the subject:

"But..."

"But if there is an accident, Ah Xuan, you must evacuate immediately and go back to report to His Majesty."

"When the time comes, we will cover your departure."

Li Xuan shook his head immediately: "How can this work?"

But Shang Zongguan just smiled and explained:

"Ah Xuan, it is not easy to block your perception."

"And you and I can use the Dao Realm together. My Mirror Flower and Water Moon can trap them for a while. We can also fight against the second-grade."

"But if King Zheng arranges enough power to defeat us..."

"The chance to win has appeared!"

Li Xuan's heart trembled.

He said why the lineup of this mission was so strange.

When fighting against ordinary third-grade, with the help of Li Xuan and Shang Zongguan's joint use of the Dao Realm, they can crush, but they are powerless against the second-grade masters who have transformed their realm into armor.

Li Xuan is still unclear about Tang Nu's strength. He has only seen him make simple moves before, and he has not shown his full strength.

But he is Ye Lao's disciple, and he is not very old, so it is unlikely that he has too strong strength. It should be around the third grade.

Li Xuan was afraid that the action would not go smoothly, but he didn't expect that the other three were determined to die.

Listening to what Shang Zongguan said just now, they seemed to hope that the action at the government office would not go smoothly, so that Li Xuan could go back and report in time, and directly let Emperor Yongyuan attack King Zheng.

Li Xuan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, but his nose was a little sour.

He didn't want his friends to be hurt.

This idea was very willful.

Especially in the harsh struggle that determines the fate of a dynasty.

But Li Xuan still thought so.

"I am a man of destiny, and a man of destiny must do things that ordinary people can't do."

Li Xuan said to himself silently in his heart.

He raised his head and sent a message to everyone:

"Let's go, they have already met."

Everyone nodded, then immediately restrained their breath and rushed to Jiang Pu's room.

When they arrived, Jiang Pu's room was bustling.

The small courtyard where Jiang Pu lived was isolated from a space.

Even if Jiang Pu shouted for help at this time, it would not be heard outside, but this did not affect Li Xuan's perception.

He sent a message to others about the situation inside.

In the room, Jiang Pu hid behind an old swordsman with white hair and beard.

The old swordsman stood with a sword in hand, facing three people, his momentum was not weak at all.

"Jiang Pu, the prince just asked us to ask you a question, but I didn't expect you to find someone to greet us."

Three figures wearing large black cloaks spoke in strange accents, and they really didn't look like good people.

King Zheng sent such people to ask questions, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Jiang Pu.

Jiang Pu didn't say anything, but just looked at the three people opposite with a nervous face.

"Yoho, I wonder who gave you the confidence, it turned out to be the old man Qingsong from the Yuqing Sect."

"It seems that you think that with this old man protecting you, the prince can't do anything to you, hehe."

The three cloaked men spoke one after another, but they were in perfect harmony, as if one person was talking continuously.

It's just that their accents and voices are different, with very distinct differences.

The only thing in common is that the movements of these three people when speaking are very strange, and I don't know where they are from.

"Since you three recognize my identity, please give me some face."

Old Man Qingsong held his sword and bowed to the three people.

"Face?"

"What face do you have, old man?"

"Do you really think you are the most important person?"

"How ridiculous, squeak, squeak, squeak--"

The three people were talking to each other, but no one interrupted them.

Old Man Qingsong knew that it would not end well when he saw the attitude of the three people.

But since he took on this job, he was also somewhat confident in his own strength.

"In this case, watch me!"

Old Man Qingsong was also an old man in the world. He knew that he would not be able to get this face today if he did not show his skills to subdue the other party.

He drew out the sword in his hand with a sound, and a green light suddenly lit up in the room.

Old Man Qingsong's sword was shining like jade. He swung the sword and the sword energy shot out straight, but then the thick sword energy actually split into many branches like branches, and launched an indiscriminate range attack on the three cloaked guests.

"The moves are quite beautiful."

Li Xuan secretly said, and sneaked over with Shang Zongguan and others.

Now that they are fighting, they are bound to be distracted.

Li Xuan can help others temporarily conceal their breath with the help of Yin and Yang Qi, but it will not last long.

Anyway, they are preparing to attack by surprise, so they don't have to hide for too long.

When they reached Jiangpu's courtyard, the house had already started fighting, and the Qi barrier that originally covered the courtyard was also dispersed at this time.

For a while, the whole government office became lively.

"There is an assassin, protect the adults!"

Someone in the government office noticed the movement here and shouted a warning.

But Li Xuan looked around, but no one came.

Someone came nearby, took a look at the situation in the courtyard, and did not dare to move forward, but just shouted for people.

Li Xuan couldn't help but silently gave a thumbs up.

"It seems that no matter where they are, the workers are very conscious."

After all, it's not worth risking your life for those little things.

Seeing that everyone in the government office knew what was going on, Li Xuan didn't pay much attention and continued to watch the fight in the yard.

In order to intimidate the opponent, Old Man Qingsong used his famous skills right from the start.

His Qingsong sword energy was infinitely variable and powerful, making it hard to defend against, earning him the name of Old Man Qingsong in the martial arts world.

But today his Qingsong sword energy was not very effective.

The three cloaked men on the opposite side swam in the dense sword energy, making bursts of strange laughter.

The sword energy could only penetrate the wide cloaks on their bodies, but could not hurt them at all.

Seeing this, the old man Qingsong immediately gathered his strength and launched a more fierce attack.

He knew that if he could not control the opponent at the beginning, his words would be even less effective later.

"Qingsong Wanzhang!"

The old man Qingsong shouted and actually inserted the sword into the ground.

The next moment, dense sword energy emerged from the feet of the three cloaked men, soaring into the sky, making them unable to avoid it.

"Hiss, hiss, the old man has some tricks."

"Brothers, it's our turn to take action."

"Cold Abyss Whirlpool!"

As soon as the three cloaked men finished speaking, their bodies actually swam in the air, just like in the water.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw it, wondering what this was.

The three cloaked men swam in the air, dodging the sword energy attacks flexibly, while entangled with each other and swimming faster and faster.

Moisture gradually rose from their bodies, and soon a huge vortex was condensed.

The vortex deflected the sword energy and absorbed part of it to strengthen itself.

The two sides used their means to stalemate each other, but the sword energy of the old man Qingsong became weaker and weaker, but the vortex formed by the three people became stronger and stronger.

In the end, seeing that he could not hold on, the old man Qingsong took the lead to recover his breath.

If the stalemate continued, he would not be able to withstand the three on the opposite side.

But the three cloaked men had no intention of stopping. Seeing that the old man Qingsong took the lead in withdrawing his moves, they pushed the vortex out fiercely with even more momentum.

"Old man, it's your turn to take it!"

The three shouted in unison.

The huge vortex was filled with heavy moisture, leaving streaks of frost on the ground.

Old Man Qingsong led Jiang Pu, who was protecting him, to retreat repeatedly until there was no more room for retreat, and then he used all his strength to slash with his sword.

Although he broke the vortex, he was also thrown out and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

"Senior Qingsong!"

Jiang Pu exclaimed and hurried to help Old Man Qingsong.

Old Man Qingsong was also tough. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and barely stood up with the sword.

"Water gives birth to wood. It's not that easy for the three of you to defeat me."

"If you delay until the noise gets out of hand, I don't think you will get anything good."

"There are more than just the Yuqing Sect around Jiaozhou City."

Old Man Qingsong's face turned red and purple, but he quickly suppressed it. When he finished speaking these words, his face was only slightly red.

But Jiang Pu and Old Man Qingsong both understood that they had no way to deal with the three people in front of them.

But Jiang Pu told Old Man Qingsong that he had a back-up plan, and Old Man Qingsong could only hope that his back-up plan would work.

"Old man, treat us like our first day out."

The three men on the opposite side tore off their tattered cloaks and revealed their true faces.

The skin of the three men on the opposite side was blue and white, like a floating corpse that had been soaked in the water for a few days, which made people feel scared.

The clothes under their cloaks were not much better than the rotten cloaks.

The three men looked very similar, with sparse hair and ugly looks. They only wore a pair of tattered shorts and didn't even have a shoe on their feet.

They each held a short knife, an anchor and a chain, all of which were rusty.

Based on the appearance of these three brothers, some people would believe that they were water ghosts who had just landed.

Just as Li Xuan secretly marveled and called King Zheng for finding talents, after seeing the appearance of the three men, Old Man Qingsong exclaimed:

"Are you the three ghosts of Hanhe!?"
