The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

As for the most worrying thing in his heart?

That is to meet Yun Mujiu.

Near Yanggu Prefecture, Wei Song led a group of people to inspect the work of King Ye's subordinates, while Ying Yi led a group of people to escort the unconscious Wan Yansen to the direction of the capital. Ying Er and Ying San followed Ye Xiaohan's instructions and followed King Di and his group from a distance.

The deep mountains far away from the town of Qingchuan have returned to their former tranquility, even quieter than when the group of Nantai people were still there.

The mountaintop was full of ruins and traces of fighting. There were ashes from a fire, and if you looked closely, you could see some unburned bones among the ashes.

The several golden attics of the past have all turned into nothingness.

When a breeze blew occasionally, the air seemed to still be filled with that strongly uncomfortable smell of blood.

This mountain range, which once had traces of human life, is now devoid of any signs of life.

In the past two days, there have been a lot of people patrolling near this mountain range, as if they were looking for something.

After nearly two days of searching without any results, the team finally left and returned to the city of Yanggu Prefecture.

When they were almost at the post station, the leader of the team was very unhappy and had a sullen face.

An old scar below his right eye made his face look even more hideous, not to mention the new scar that extended from his right ear down to his chin and neck.

"Damn it! Lord Hades is really good at this!" The man couldn't help but curse out loud. The wounds on his right ear and face became more painful, and the wound on his right arm covered by his clothes also felt a burning pain.

The whip of Nether Nine was so powerful that it broke the skin and flesh of this martial prince.

At this time, a man in armor beside the scarred man spoke up and said flatteringly: "Third Prince, you have worked hard. You will have a good rest later."

Prince Di just snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to the person who spoke. He couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Captain Zhao, you should take care of yourself first. You have to think about how to explain to my father when you return to Beijing!"

As early as the day before yesterday, King Di and his entourage arrived at the town of Qingchuan under the guidance of Hanyingwei, and then they kept taking detours near the deep mountain with the attic.

They wandered around in the mountains for two days, but they still couldn't find the exact location of the hideout.

Finally, on the third day, that is, the day before yesterday, they finally received news that there was a hideout of Nantai assassins here.

At the same time, after Youming Jiuchong dealt with Yan Sen and his group, Ying Er and Ying San and several other Hanying Guards led King Di and others to the attic.

Netherworld Jiuchong injured King Di, intimidated the Dragon Staff Guards and the Imperial Guards, and left with the captive Wanyan Sen.

King Di was unwilling to give in, but he did not dare to fight against Youming Jiuchong. Thinking of Youming Jiuchong's words that there were still assassins in the tunnel, he took Zhao Guang and other guards to try to capture the assassins alive.

But it is obvious that King Di is not as smart as Netherworld Nine. The latter is decisive in killing and has no scruples about attacking the enemies. He also cleverly used poisonous smoke to force out a large number of dead soldiers in the tunnel.

As for why we had to leave some death warriors in there?

Of course, this was to leave some people for the court to deal with for fun. Youming Jiuchong didn't want to let his subordinates kill all the Nantai assassins with their dirty hands.

Leave some survivors for King Di's men and let them fight each other.

The reckless King Di did not disappoint the "trust" of the Ninth Heaven, and indeed suffered a loss in the battle in the tunnel.

King Di and his entourage were afraid to act, and the remaining assassins in the tunnel gained the upper hand. The assassins also released various poisons and shot poisonous arrows, causing countless casualties among King Di's men.

After the court suffered a lot of casualties, King Di finally made up his mind not to capture prisoners alive and to deal with all the assassins.

After redeployment, and inspired by the fire in the attic in the Netherworld, they decided to burn the tunnel.

After another wave of casualties, fortunately the death toll was not high. In short, they broke through the tunnel and burned many Nantai warriors to death. Finally, they captured alive several warriors who were not burned to death.

These assassins knelt on the ground together with the assassins who had been captured alive by the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld on the ground, and King Di personally tried the case.

But he had heard the news released by Nether Nine, and knew that these assassins were under restrictions. He followed Nether Nine's example and asked these people to write instead of speaking, but these Nantai assassins died without revealing any useful information.

All the Nantai warriors died of poisoning, and the low-level warriors from the Eastern Empire who were supposed to be in the team had already been eliminated by the people of the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld.

Prince Di gained nothing. Both his own team and the team sent by the emperor suffered casualties, and he was completely humiliated by Youming Jiuchong in front of everyone.

He wanted to make up for his mistake, so he circled around the mountain for nearly two days, but he did not find any new spy bases, so he had to return.

King Di was angry all the way until he returned to the post station in Yanggu Prefecture.

There were a group of people he brought from the northern border, and also a group of people who were not under his name.

Originally, he led his own team and the group of people who were going back to Beijing with him. They left the northern border and headed for the southern capital. Later, they met the team sent by the emperor to welcome him. After the team joined up, they heard about the Nantai spies on the way back to Beijing. They gave up their original trip to the capital and turned around to the north.

On the way north, they also encountered Zhao Guang's troops, as well as a new reinforcement sent by the emperor to reinforce Zhao Guang.

King Di was eager to show off, so he dispatched a small group of his own soldiers, and the others who came from the northern border with him stayed at the post station. He took Zhao Guang and other court officials to look for the Nantai assassins.

Unfortunately, their combined team not only failed to find any important clues, but also was completely defeated by the Ninth Level of the Netherworld.

King Di returned to the post station with a lot of anger. A young guard ran up to him and saluted respectfully.

"Third Prince, you are back."

"Hmph!" Prince Di looked very unhappy.

The guard said carefully under pressure: "Third Prince, the young master said that he has been waiting for you at the post station for a long time. If you don't go back, I'm afraid he will go back to the capital first."

When King Di heard this, he suppressed the bad expression on his face and tried to force a smile. It can be seen that the other party is an important person to King Di.

He quickly replied, "I will go see Master Ling right away."

Without taking time to rest, he strode upstairs.

When King Di was on his way back to the capital, the person he "brought along" was none other than the eldest son of the Governor-General of the Northern Territory, and the team he "brought along" was none other than his attendants.

Young Master Ling took the initiative to apply to come to the capital to take a look. It turned out that only the emperor might know something about this matter. No one in Zhongyue and the Northern Realm could know about it...

However, even King Di did not quite understand why Young Master Ling, upon hearing about Ling Xingmu's deeds in the capital, took the initiative to go to the capital with him?
