Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

Chapter 120: Years passed, travel

ghost?

You are a Confucian cultivator of the eighth level, with a righteous spirit flowing through your body. Why are you afraid of ghosts? Ghosts are more likely to be afraid of you.

"It can't be explained in a few words. You'll know if you come with me to take a look." Xu Cijiu naturally saw his elder brother's confusion. Without saying much, he dragged Xu Qian'an's sleeve and walked out.

Xu Qian'an did not refuse. He knew that after experiencing many social deaths, Xu Erlang had already developed the ability to remain calm even when facing a disaster. To make him so panic, something big must have happened.

Russell and Li Miaozhen looked at each other and hurriedly stood up to follow.

The few of them soon arrived at Cangling Mountain, which was where Xu Cijiu and Wang Simu had their outing.

When they arrived, the foot of the mountain was surrounded by servants and guards, all of whom were servants of the Prime Minister's family.

"Xu Yinluo, General Luo, and Taoist Li." Wang Simu greeted them one by one.

"Ms. Wang, may I ask where the ghost you are talking about is?" Xu Qian'an said with a fist salute.

"Everyone, follow me." Wang Simu turned around and stepped forward to lead the way. Xu Cijiu was worried that the Yin energy would harm his body, so he also took two steps forward and used his righteous energy to resist.

On the way here, Xu Cijiu had already told him the whole story in detail.

They had indeed come here for an outing today, but after only a quarter of an hour, Wang Simu felt unwell. Although Xu Cijiu was only an eighth-rank cultivator and had no means of fighting the enemy, his righteous aura was sensitive to evil spirits. Following the flow of the evil aura, they found a patch of grass...

"Brother, it's right here." Xu Cijiu pointed to a pile of knee-high weeds and said.

Xu Qian'an didn't say anything. A warrior has limited means to deal with ghosts, and professional matters need to be handled by professionals.

Li Miaozhen took a step forward and used her magic power to pull. Soon, a wisp of black smoke was pulled up from the grass.

This is a vengeful soul that has just taken shape. After being burned by the righteous energy, its vitality has been severely damaged.

"A bloody massacre stretching over three thousand miles! A bloody massacre stretching over three thousand miles! Please send troops to suppress the rebellion..."

Soon, the resentful spirit regained its form, revealing itself to be a thin man with a dull gaze, muttering to himself.

Russell was not idle either. He opened and closed the pulse point on his right arm, and a headless corpse and a steel knife with a bent blade were shaken out of the haystack.

"This person has been dead for more than seven days, and his soul is basically broken. If we want to know what happens next, we can only nurture his soul. Depending on the degree of damage to the soul, it will take at least half a year." Li Miaozhen said.

Xu Qian'an nodded, squatted down and examined the body. His expression became serious.

This man was a knight-errant from the north, so the bloody massacre he mentioned naturally took place in the north. Wars were frequent in the north, and Dafeng suffered a series of defeats. Civil officials wrote letters to impeach the King of Zhenbei...

Things are getting serious...

"This matter is of great importance. I will report it to Duke Wei immediately." Xu Qian'an said solemnly to everyone.

"Don't worry, Xu Yinluo. I have already informed my father about this matter and will never let the truth be covered up." Wang Simu also said in a resounding voice.

It turned out to be like this...

Russell suddenly realized that if Wang Zhenwen also knew about this matter, as the prime minister, he would never let it go without knowing the inside story. Even if Wei Yuan wanted to suppress this matter, he could not stop his political opponents from talking.

Three days later, on New Year's Eve, the "bloody massacre of three thousand miles" finally came to an end under the joint pressure of the Wang Party and the Wei Party.

After the New Year, Xu Qian'an, the night watchman, was appointed as the chief officer and led a delegation to the border to thoroughly investigate the matter.

"Zi Qi, you must help me with this."

In the backyard of the Xu Mansion, Xu Qian'an had a miserable expression, as if saying, "If you don't help me, I will die in front of you."

"Didn't we arrange guards for you?" Russell said with a smile.

"Guards... Brother, are you serious?" Xu Qian'an said with a bitter face. Most of the Tiger Guards and Imperial Guards were only cultivating their essence and energy, and few even cultivated their spirits. If a real fight broke out, he might even have to distract himself from protecting his guards.

The pros and cons of this investigation are very obvious. If the case is solved, he will be the main contributor. If the case of the bloody massacre of three thousand miles really exists and he finds out the truth, his contribution will be unimaginable. If the case cannot be solved, he will be punished.

What's more, the northern border is the territory of the King of Zhenbei, and there was a bloody massacre for three thousand miles... If the King of Zhenbei lied about military intelligence and tried to evade responsibility, it would be fine if the chief officer couldn't find out. If he did, he would most likely be killed to silence him.

If a third-rank warrior really had murderous intentions, even a fourth-rank warrior would not be able to withstand it, not to mention that it happened on someone else's territory.

In reality, he wasn't afraid of being assassinated; he was afraid of the King of Zhenbei himself taking the fight. At that point, he'd have no choice but to risk everything to summon Monk Shenshu. In a fight against a third-rank warrior, Monk Shenshu would inevitably go on a rampage, absorbing essence and blood, and inevitably killing innocent people. This was something Xu Qian'an didn't want to see.

And if he didn't want to alarm Shenshu, among the people he knew, only Russell had the ability to compete with the third rank.

"When?" Russell asked.

Xu Qian'an replied: "The fifth day after the New Year."

That’s not long, because tomorrow is New Year’s Day.

According to the Dafeng Law, there is a total of ten days of holiday before and after the New Year, and the holiday ends on the fifth day after the New Year.

"Then I'll accompany you on this trip." Russell pretended to think for a while and agreed immediately.

Li Miaozhen instantly perked up and said, "Then I'll go with you."

"No problem, I'll go register for you right away." Xu Qian'an agreed without hesitation. With a fourth-rank Taoist as his helper, the chances of solving the case would be greatly increased.

Xu Qian'an left. After dealing with Russell and Li Miaozhen, he still had to go to Yunlu Academy to ask the great scholar for some Confucian calligraphy.

After learning that Xu Qian'an was about to travel to Chuzhou, there was no commotion within the Xu family.

First, Xu Qiyan had experience in Yunzhou, and second, they also knew that Luo Su and Li Miaozhen would accompany him. Ever since the Buddhist battle and the battle between heaven and man, his second uncle and aunt had been amazed by Luo Su and Li Miaozhen. They believed that with this couple around, Xu Qiyan would definitely be safe.

As for now, let’s have a good new year first.

……

Five days later, at the Beijing dock.

The delegation heading north arrived at the dock and boarded the official ship.

In mid-spring, the warm wind blows and thousands of boats pass by on the river.

Xu Qian'an stood on the deck and looked out, with Russell and Li Miaozhen standing beside him.

This delegation consisted of two hundred people. In addition to the standard one hundred imperial guards of the governor's team, as well as the Russell and Li Miaozhen couple brought by Xu Qian'an, four silver gongs, eight bronze gongs, and a guard of more than fifty people. These were the private soldiers specially sent by Emperor Yuan Jing to escort the princess to Chuzhou.

It was not until just now that Xu Qian'an learned that the princess was also in the delegation and was heading to the northern border together.

"It's strange that the princess is traveling with us." Li Miaozhen looked into the distance, seemingly indifferent and unapproachable, but in fact she had been secretly sending messages for quite some time.

"I find it strange too. Emperor Yuan Jing's trust in Prince Zhenbei is a bit too much." Xu Qian'an agreed calmly.

The princess went north with the delegation, which was a signal from Emperor Yuan Jing that he had unlimited trust in the Prince of Zhenbei.

This does not fit with Emperor Yuan Jing's suspicious and authoritarian personality.

The two of them were posing, chatting back and forth, but Russell remained silent. Li Miaozhen poked Russell curiously and asked, "Russell, why aren't you talking? What do you think?"

"I'll stand and watch." Russell stretched and found an excuse to return to the cabin.

It was the mysterious space calling him. He could feel that a new Russell was about to arrive on the battlefield.
