Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chen Kuxu stood in the air, pointing his finger at Yang Xi.

Yang Xi, who had lost an arm, had a gloomy face. Compared with the humiliation of losing an arm and the Xiu Yue Axe, being accused of being a traitor by Chen Ku at this moment made him furious.

The lost arm can be reattached by some other means, and Xiu Yue Fu can also wait for him to return to the capital and call on the forces of the royal palace to attack Chen Ku together and take it back.

The most intolerable insult for him was that Chen Ku was pointing fingers at him and denying his noble Daji royal bloodline.

"Chen Ku, you are just a juren. How dare you treat me like this now? Aren't you afraid that your family will be confiscated and exterminated in the future?" Yang Xi said gloomily.

"Our empire has strict discipline and law. When has it ever been written that a military scholar like me should be confiscated and exterminated for suppressing and arresting rebels?"

Chen Ku still said the same thing.

It was mainly due to his current strength. With the Nine-Realm Fire Mouth Pot, he was invincible just like before in Baojiao County. Now it could be said that no one in the entire Qiulong Prefecture could be his opponent.

Besides,

Now he is standing on a high ground, able to criticize others with his strength and righteousness, so how could he lose momentum in his words?

Below, Yue Cang, the sword-wielding guard of Prince Yu's palace, had a ferocious look on his face due to anger.

When has the young prince ever suffered such an insult?

He immediately shouted at Guan Qingfeng, "Second Master Guan, the young prince is the son-in-law of your mansion. How can you let the young prince be humiliated at this time? I ask you and the old mansion to immediately summon all the seventh-level masters in the mansion to attack this lowly person."

Upon hearing this, Guan Qingfeng looked at his father in mid-air.

At this time, what decision to make depends entirely on the decision of his father, the old marquis.

The Twelve Guardians saw Chen Ku confronting the old marquis Guan Yanbing alone. Not far away was the Hanshou army. They were all worried about Chen Ku and immediately poked Wang Xingji who was holding the imperial edict.

Wang Xingji immediately raised the edict with both hands and shouted to Han Shouhou:

"My Lord, Mr. Chen was indeed ordered to investigate the disappearance of Tan Chongrui. I beg you to help me first to capture the man pretending to be the Prince of Yu, and then we can ask him about Tan Chongrui's whereabouts. If we can rescue Tan Chongrui, I will write a letter to commend you for your contribution."

"You, are so bold!" Yang Xi was furious.

The group of upright literati in the court like Wang Xingji had no real power in the court. In the capital, he had rarely looked these people in the eye, and now, they dared to deny his identity like this.

But just when Yang Xi was furious and was about to attack Wang Xingji.

Suddenly, the old Marquis Guan Yanbing behind him took a deep breath, reached out his hand, grabbed Yang Xi's shoulder, and said loudly:

"Since it is an imperial decree, I will help. Leave this man to me. I will ask him about Tan Chongrui's whereabouts. If Tan Chongrui is still alive, I will naturally help this...Mr. Chen to rescue the imperial envoy."

This palm strike of his directly sealed the acupuncture points on Yang Xi's body.

Caught it by his side.

Yang Xi looked at the old marquis with a gloomy face. He did not expect that this former founding general would be suppressed by Chen Ku and a small censor with just a few words.

It is obvious that Tan Chongrui must be handed over!

Han Shouhou naturally saw the young prince's mood, and his eyes showed apology. He sighed in his heart and had to explain in secret, saying:

"Young prince, we are in public now. There are many spies in my army. The things that were done in private cannot be made public now. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with."

There are some things that everyone knows, and everyone is tacitly aware of them, but if they are brought to the table, then they are really a matter of only a few ounces, and cannot be weighed down by a thousand pounds.

"Young Prince, Tan Chongrui must be handed over, otherwise we will really have to break off relations with those people in the cabinet. By then, I don't think Prince Yu would want to see such a thing."

Hearing the old marquis bring up his father, Prince Yu, Yang Xi stood still and said in a deep voice:

"You can bow your head for now, but I will never allow Chen Ku to survive this month."

"Don't worry, young prince. I will personally assist you in eradicating this person when the time comes."

This temporarily calmed Yang Xi's emotions.

Guan Yanbing looked at Chen Ku and said:

"I will take him back to the camp for interrogation. I wonder if Mr. Chen will also join the camp?"

That's an understatement.

"There is no need for a jury. I heard that the old marquis was very powerful in the past. I believe that the old marquis will be able to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Tan through his inquiries."

Chen Ku smiled, then looked in one direction of the camp and said:
"Please act quickly, old marquis, and rescue Mr. Tan as soon as possible, so that he will suffer less pain in prison."

Look at the direction Chen Ku glanced in.

The old marquis's expression changed slightly, but he was dignified in his heart:
"He actually knew that Tan Chongrui was in my camp right now. The direction of his eyes clearly showed that he knew exactly where Tan Chongrui was imprisoned in the camp. Could it be that... someone tipped him off?"

I feel a little cold in my heart.

A thought flashed through his mind: should he execute Tan Chongrui directly after returning to the camp?

Now it seems.

The other person is staring at me and won't let me do that.

"It's really a terrible life."

Guan Yanbing looked at Chen Ku deeply and said:
"If you were born 180 years earlier, you might have become the second champion marquis. Unfortunately, the times are not right, and you are only a juren now."

"You are too kind, old marquis. It is possible to make achievements in any era."

Chen Ku replied indifferently, saying:
"I will be waiting for you, sir, on the barren hill below."

The old marquis said nothing more, and took Yang Xi back to the camp from mid-air. …

After half a cup of tea.

On the barren mountain, Chen Ku, the Twelve Guardians, and Wang Xingji watched a middle-aged man who had fainted was driven here in a horse-drawn carriage under the cover of night.

"Master Tan!" The Twelve Guardians already respected Tan Chongrui because of their master Qin Yuxian.

Especially Qin Fang and Feng Buping, who were specifically assigned the responsibility of protecting Tan Chongrui that day. However, Tang Yulin kidnapped him right under their noses. They felt even more guilty, so they immediately came to the carriage.

He slowly helped Tan Chongrui up and shouted coldly at the carriage driver, "What have you done to Mr. Tan during this period?"

The man driving the carriage had a powerful aura and his body was covered with internal energy. He was obviously a cultivator of the seventh realm. Needless to say, he must be a priest of the Han Shouhou Mansion.

He said indifferently: "I don't know what you are talking about. After the Marquis interrogated the man pretending to be the prince, he quickly found the imperial envoy and sent him back now. There is nothing else, so I will leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared using his body skills.

"Brother Tan!" Wang Xingji also stepped forward and shook Tan Chongrui's body.

"Don't worry, let me take a look." Chen Ku now possesses the transformations of several seventh-level masters and has inherited all they have learned. Among them, Tang Yulin has a "medical skill", and Kong Dan is even a seventh-level alchemist and has a lot of experience in healing injuries and diseases.

He immediately felt his pulse and injected his Qi into Tan Chongrui's body. After a moment, he knew the situation and said softly, "It's nothing serious. It's just that he hasn't eaten for a long time. It seems that he has been acupunctured for a long time, which has blocked the blood circulation."

As he spoke, he took out a pill from his storage bag.

This is the 'Hui Yuan Dan' that Kong Dan refined using the flesh and blood of the demon in the Demon Summoning Banner. It can replenish a small amount of human vitality. It is not of high quality and is just Kong Dan's practice work, but for Tan Chongrui, it is enough.

The pill was dissolved with true Qi and injected into Tan Chongrui's body. After a simple massage to activate blood circulation, Tan Chongrui was stimulated to absorb the pill.

"Hmm..." and the thin-faced imperial envoy was awakened again.

When Tan Chongrui woke up, he looked at the many faces in front of him and spoke in a weak voice:

"Where are you?"

After he opened his mouth, he immediately recognized the Twelve Guardians and Chen Ku. He also recognized Wang Xingji. He was a little surprised and took a breath. He said:
"Brother Xingji, why are you here too?"

It turned out that Wang Xingji, like him, was a scholar of the Imperial Academy. Later, he was recommended as an imperial envoy to implement the new local policies. This colleague was also demoted to Canglan Prefecture in Youzhou and became the Tongzhi of Canglan Prefecture.

"Don't talk about me for now. Brother Tan, how have you been these past few months? What did the Han Shouhou Mansion do to you?" Wang Xingji asked in a low voice.

"Hanshouhou Mansion? What Hanshouhou Mansion?" Tan Chongrui subconsciously asked, and then, as if he remembered that he was kidnapped, his face trembled: "Did the Hanshouhou sent someone to kidnap me? Brother Qin? Where is Brother Qin now?"

Everyone looked at each other.

When Chen Ku saw Tan Chongrui like this, he knew that he was probably like Guan Hongluan, and had no idea who had kidnapped him in the past few months.

Wang Xingji slowly explained the situation to Tan Chongrui: "Brother Tan... I didn't expect you didn't even know who kidnapped you."

He then told the story that Tan Chongrui had been kidnapped for several months, Baojiao County had been captured by Ping'an Dao, Qin Yu had disappeared first, and that he was rescued by Chen Ku, as well as the collision between Yang Xi and the old marquis just now.

“So many things happened.”

Tan Chongrui had a complicated expression. Qin Yuxian's brother Qin was missing? He looked at Chen Ku, as if to ask the truth, but when he lowered his head, he thought of something and asked:
"Behind the Hanshou Marquis's Mansion stood the Yuwang Mansion and the 'Jiangnan Party' in the cabinet. I volunteered to come here to try out the new policy, and I knew that I would definitely offend these people. But... since they had tied me up, why didn't they kill me? Wouldn't it be cleaner to kill me?"

Wang Xingji smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps it's because when you, Lord Tan, were kidnapped, your brother Qin also kidnapped the young princess of the Marquis' Mansion. They probably guessed who did it, so they were afraid to act rashly."

"What?" Tan Chongrui was shocked.

Brother Qin actually sent someone to kidnap the little princess?
Chen Ku didn't intend to let everyone talk more about this matter at this time, and said: "Okay, Twelve Guardians, now quickly escort Mr. Tan back to Qiulong Mansion."

"When Master Tan recovers, I have something important to discuss with him."

What he wanted to say was that the six major sects of Yuan Kingdom were stationing troops in Liangjie Mountain.

Although he didn't know whether the Youzhou government and the Daji court knew about this matter, he still took the initiative to remind the Daji court. It was not because he wanted to take credit for it, but because he really didn't want to be involved in the war, which would be detrimental to his practice.

If the Daji court had been prepared earlier, it could have sent a large army, which would not only have suppressed the Ping'an Road in Baojiao County, but it might have also been able to keep the Yuan army out of the country.

Chen Ku can also stay in a safer environment and practice steadily.

"Okay, let's go back to Qiulong Mansion first."

Everyone mounted their horses immediately.

However, they did not notice that while Chen Ku was traveling with them, he released the "wandering cultivators" invisibly from under his feet.

original.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought about letting Yang Xi live completely.

"After I cut off one of his arms and took away the Xiuyue Axe, he became the prince of the royal palace. He will definitely not let it go. I guess his next plan is to return to the capital to mobilize troops to deal with me. How can I give him this opportunity? I have to kill him on the way back to the capital..."

Chen Ku had many thoughts about Yang Xi in his mind:

"He has already attacked me, and I can gain evil spirit by killing him. The most important thing is... I have confirmed that Yu Wang Mansion has indeed obtained another part of the Xia Wang treasure. The Mingyue Magic Skill and Xiuyue Axe are from the treasure created by Sheyue Tianwang. Maybe Yu Wang Mansion really has the 'Sheyue Tianwang Order'. If I can kill Yang Xi, I can turn into him and go to Yu Wang Mansion in the capital to find out what's going on."

After all, the other party is a young prince. If he kills him openly, it will bring him a lot of trouble.

So, just follow your own habits.

Release him, then assassinate him, and then replace him, so that this person disappears silently in the world without anyone knowing.

In this way, Chen Ku stayed as a casual cultivator in Baojiao County.

The wandering cultivator, a great cultivator at the peak of the seventh realm, floated silently into the army camp, possessed a horse in the camp, and stared at the big tent. (End of this chapter)
