After being forced to marry an enemy tyrant

The eyes of the two met again in the dark night.

After a long time, Xiyun calmly said: "You don't need to provoke me with this matter. The border guards will never justify their dereliction of duty, but they will never forget their duties because of guilt. If the situation is true, I will cooperate with myself, but that marriage is just a private contract signed by Emperor Bohui, greedy for life and fear of death, ignoring public opinion, and the wolf clan. Now Bohui has been abolished and his whereabouts are unknown. For the most severe punishment, the private contract he signed will naturally be voided, which is not counted."

"If your wolf clan dares to covet my young master of the fox clan again, first step over the corpses of this commander and the [-] border guards."

Zhao Yan clapped his palms and nodded: "General Xi's words are exactly in line with my wishes."

Xiyun frowned secretly.

Because of being swayed by the other party, he only knew that the new king of the wolf clan in front of him was violent, insidious and cunning, and he must not give him the slightest chance to take advantage of his loopholes, but he did not expect that he was thick-skinned, and his face became more and more gloomy, saying: " That being the case, please, Your Majesty, take your Xuanling Iron Cavalry and withdraw from the Qingqiu area."

With Xi Yun's vigilance, Zhao Yan was not surprised that he found the Xuanling cavalry he had left outside the city.

Zhao Yan smiled, unhurriedly took out something from his sleeve, and said: "There is indeed evidence for Chu Yunfeng's defection to Qingqiu."

Xiyun glanced sideways, and saw that it was a fiery red spiritual arrow, much longer than the feathered arrows commonly used in the army, and more like the crossbow arrow used by the spiritual crossbow.

"This is the arrow of the new-style spirit crossbow made by the people of Fuyu. It has not yet entered the black market. Only Chu Yunfeng's rebel army is equipped with it in the entire Xianzhou. Can General Xi explain why this arrow appeared outside Qingqiu City?"

Xiyun stared at the crossbow. Arrow, fell silent.

It was indeed not the first time he had heard about Chu Yunfeng from Zhaoyan. To be honest, the reason why he came back from the Northern Territory to participate in the hunting conference was because he received an anonymous letter from the capital, saying It is said that Chu Yunfeng, the leader of the Chu Lang tribe who was defeated by the new king because of the failure of the Sirius rebellion, led the remnant troops to bypass Yu, Chi You and the Qingqiu border guards, and fled into Qingqiu territory.He was extremely shocked at the time, and even suspected that someone had deliberately forged this letter to lure the tiger away from the mountain.Regardless of whether the boundary markers of the Yu and Chiyou clans were not decorations, although after the four clans broke through Qingqiu, the border guards were trapped in a city like a lone army, firmly guarding the last section of the border line of Qingqiu, and the defense facilities were not as good as before. It is absolutely impossible to miss such a big movement of a large number of troops crossing the border.

What's more, even if these people picked up the loopholes and bypassed the eyes and ears of the border guards, there were still many checkpoints to pass from the northern border to the king's city. Without internal response, it would be almost impossible.

Until one day, he accidentally seized a carriage looted by the bandit leader from elsewhere, and found a batch of unusual crossbows and arrows in a box containing gold, silver and jewelry.After interrogation, the robbers said that they had picked it up halfway, and they thought it was in good condition, and planned to take it back to the village to use as ordinary feather arrows.He began to expect something unusual.Because the red bloodstone used for the crossbow and arrow is a raw material only in the western region, and it definitely cannot come from Qingqiu.Afterwards, he followed the clues and found out that the regulation of the carriage was produced by a car dealership in Wangdu, and it was exclusively used by dignitaries. He became more and more convinced that there was an internal traitor in the court colluding with Chu Yunfeng and opened the door of convenience for the other party.He finally made up his mind to go south and settle the matter himself.

It is a big taboo to harbor defectors and criminals from other tribes without permission. No matter what the reason is, this matter is Qingqiu’s fault after all. Xiyun kept it secret at first because he was worried that Zhaoyan would use it as an excuse or bargaining chip to interfere in Qingqiu’s government affairs , Xiyun did not expect that Zhaoyan also got the ironclad evidence, and showed it to him in person.

Avoidance is obviously impossible.

"It's a matter of course for me to arrest the traitor, and it's also for Qingqiu to eliminate harm. General Xi is obliged to cooperate."

Zhao Yan opened his mouth slowly.

Xiyun nodded, and said with cold eyebrows: "Two conditions, first, the Xuanling iron cavalry must retreat twenty miles to station, and second, the king must live in the post house arranged by the commander according to the Qingqiu rules. Except for what you and I have agreed upon, you are not allowed to leave the post house at will. If your lord can accept it, this commander will unconditionally cooperate with Sirius to catch the rebel, if not, please find another good strategy."

Zhaoyan hooked the corner of his lips, and said without any hesitation: "Okay, I can accept everything."

Xi Yun summoned the deputy general: "Send this gentleman to the post house to rest."

The lieutenant general took the order and asked Zhaoyan to leave.

Zhao Yan raised his head and looked at the gate of the palace in front of him, and saw that the medical officer had followed Qingluan into the palace with the medicine box, Fang turned around, put on the unicorn, and followed the deputy general out of the palace.

Xiyun stood on the steps with his sword in his hand, staring at Zhaoyan as he walked away, Fang lowered his brows, thoughtful.

"Get up."

Xiyun said lightly.

Wei Feng and the [-] border guards, who had been silently kneeling on the ground pleading guilty, dared to stand up.

Wei Feng said: "Are you going to send someone to keep an eye on this tyrant?"

Xiyun shook his head: "No need."

Wei Feng was very puzzled.

Xi Yun said: "With his cultivation base, if you want to leave the posthouse, it's useless to stare at him. You just need to lead someone to guard this Shouyang Palace for me, and don't let anyone with bad intentions break in."

Wei Feng was stunned for a moment before he realized the "overtones" of the coach, and immediately broke out in cold sweat, and said loudly: "Yes, the general will follow orders!"

**

Xiyun entered the hall with his sword, and saw the small wound on Zhang Ling's neck at a glance, frowned, and asked Qingluan and Cangjie who were guarding the side: "What's going on?"

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

Xi Yun's face sank: "What's going on? It's not good for him if you keep it a secret."

Cang Jie sighed heavily and turned his head away.Qingluan's eyes turned red, he suppressed the color in his eyes, and said: "It's a forbidden technique."

Xi Yun suspected that he heard it wrong: "What did you say?"

"It's a forbidden technique." Qingluan choked up, and said: "The young master's spiritual power is weak, in order to be able to control higher-level weapons and make up for his own shortcomings, he practiced the technique of borrowing spirits."

"When?"

"After the moon worship meeting."

This matter is a deep pain in the hearts of many people, including the people of Qingqiu who once placed unlimited hopes on Chang Ling, the young master of the fox clan.

At the moon worship meeting, Zhulong Zhumeng brothers both turned into tails, and as the son of the eight-tailed fox emperor, Chang Ling, who was tested as a heavenly root since birth, not only did not turn into a tail, he didn't even turn into a complete shape. The spiritual state is not as good as that of the most ordinary spirit fox in the fox clan.The common people were disappointed, and some guessed that the young master was hurt by the deaths of Lord Boyan and Queen Jiang Yin, which affected his cultivation and wasted the heavenly spirit root in his body.

"What hurt your mind and affected your cultivation is simply nonsense. In my opinion, this little young master is just as lazy and stubborn as he was when he was a child. He is willing to work hard to cultivate, and he doesn't take Bo Yanjun's teachings and the people in his heart. It is his own fault that he ended up like this."

Anger, disappointment, and various speculations gradually spread among the crowd.

Surrounding the altar, the people who had come to watch the young master's transformation with hope and joy, some left without saying a word, and some directly threw the flowers, blessing sachets and other gifts prepared in advance into the hall in disappointment. In the Yuexi water, there were some aggressive ones who directly threw the things in their hands at the young man in the center of the altar to vent their dissatisfaction and anger.

Qingluan and Cangjie almost protected the little young master back to Chenfeng Hall with eggs, stones and rotten grass leaves flying all over the sky.They thought that the young master would be sad.However, the young man just hugged his knees and sat quietly on the platform at the back of the hall, his black pupils were as bright as stars, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

But Qingluan knew that no little spirit fox who had just turned a hundred years old could endure such a blow and humiliation.Even the little young master who suddenly changed his temperament after disappearing for a period of time and completely calmed down.

So when she found out that the young master locked herself in the palace all day long and secretly practiced forbidden techniques, although she was sad and heartbroken, she felt that she could understand such behavior for the first time.

"Moon Worship Assembly—"

Xiyun suddenly understood what was happening, and said almost angrily: "He has excellent aptitude. If he wants to control high-level weapons, he should work hard to improve his cultivation level, instead of taking crooked ways. Those who practice forbidden techniques must How big the benefit is, the backlash is as big, it's just stupid! Don't you just watch him go astray, and don't know how to persuade him!"

The medical officer just finished his pulse diagnosis. Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was tense and smelled like gunpowder, he was too frightened to speak.

Xi Yun's expression softened slightly, and he asked, "How is it?"

Naturally, the medical officer couldn't see such things as forbidden techniques, and he said worriedly: "The external injury is really serious, the old man has already used hemostatic ointment to stop the bleeding, I am afraid it will take three to five days to fully heal, and the internal injury is not light, the old man needs to be treated first Take some medicine."

Xiyun nodded, and ordered the guards to follow and watch.

Chang Ling slept drowsily until midnight, opened his eyes, and subconsciously touched the side, but it was empty and found nothing, and then suddenly realized that it was in Qingqiu.

Chang Ling supported the bed and got up without disturbing Qingluan who was sleeping next to him, walked to the outer hall with his shoes on, and saw Xiyun sitting alone behind the desk drinking tea, with his sword aside.

"woke up?"

Xiyun didn't look up.

Chang Ling nodded, sat down opposite, picked up the tea bowl first, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Any news about Chu Yunfeng?"

Xiyun didn't answer immediately, but raised his head, stared at the young man in front of him sharply, and asked, "Did you send someone to send that anonymous letter to me?"

Chang Ling poured himself a second bowl of tea, and said calmly: "I said before, I need your strength, and I will give you back at the same time."

"What if there is no such accident as Chu Yunfeng?"

Xi Yun's eyes remained sharp, staring straight at Chang Ling: "Would you still send that letter to me?"

Chang Ling picked up the tea bowl and said with a smile, "If I didn't wipe out the foreign enemies, I wouldn't dare to work for the border guards."

Xi Yun's eyes narrowed suddenly: "Then how do you plan to deal with Bo Hui and his son? With the spiritual power you've 'borrowed' from forbidden techniques, or those conspiracies that can't be put on the table."

"This is my business and has nothing to do with Xishuai."

Obviously what Xiyun dislikes the most is the overly conceited attitude of the young man in front of him. After holding back for a while, he finally couldn't bear it and said: "Arrogance. Do you know the consequences of practicing forbidden techniques? Do you know—"

Chang Ling interrupted him calmly, and said, "Of course I know. So, after the public trial, let Xi Shuai and the clan elders work together to select the most suitable candidate for the next Fox Emperor."

Xiyun was dumbfounded, and frowned, "What did you say?"

"I said, choose the next Fox Emperor candidate as soon as possible. If Xi Shuai is concerned about his reputation, I can take the burden and lead it for a period of time. When the situation stabilizes, let your candidate officially succeed."
