Xu Shan, not wanting to delay, mounted his horse and asked, "Which unit will be responsible for the security when we go with the Ministry of Rites?"

Hearing this, Wang Qinian quickly replied: "This is also one of the doubts!"

"We were originally scheduled to go to the Yi Camp in the south of the city, but this morning, the Jing Army led the remnants of the East and West Factories there to collect evidence. This caused quite a conflict. Furthermore, we were busy guarding against Cao Zhengchun's back-up plan, which caused the Yi Camp to set off more than half an hour late."

"Currently, the Ministry of Rites has no security personnel other than the honor guard."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan first looked at Wang Qinian, then turned his head to look in the direction of Yongshou Palace.

"Ginger, the older it gets, the spicier it is!"

"I'm certain that the Yizi Battalion won't be able to reach Jiaoling Post within the scheduled time."

"Sir, you mean..."

"Build the plank road openly, and spend time secretly in Chencang!"

After saying this, Xu Shan, with a gloomy face, added as he drove his horse: "The Jing army is making such a big fuss in the capital, not because Cao Zhengchun is angry, but probably because they are secretly coordinating with the Ning Wangfu's actions in Jiaoling."

"Go to Jiaoling Posthouse."

"Yes."

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Just as Xu Shan led his troops out of the north city and had not gone far, he saw a scout from the Yi Camp. He had black eyes and a weak body, lying on a horse with insufficient strength, hanging on to his last breath, rushing towards the capital.

'Uh-huh. '

Xu Shan immediately abandoned his horse and jumped up and rushed towards the opponent.

"Five Poison Powder, Rehmannia glutinosa?"

After checking the other person's body, Xu Shan directly told him what poison he was infected with.

While breathing, Xu Shan ordered someone to bring him a detoxification pill to take.

After a few breaths, the dying scout opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Xu, Xu... Sir, I, our Yizi Battalion, were suddenly poisoned at the entrance of Beiling."

“Even the horses were not spared.”

"Commander Zou, please come back and ask for help."

Hearing this, Xu Shan immediately said, "Come here."

"Have."

"Immediately escort him back to the capital and report this matter to the Northern Pacification Office and the Divine Machine Center."

"Yes."

Before, Xu Shan had only guessed, but now it has been confirmed.

The Northern Liang Army is your Majesty's loyal supporter and the Ming Dynasty's bulwark in the north.

If the prince were to be in the heart of the capital, and something were to happen to him, it would make the already destitute Ming Dynasty even more turbulent.

"Wang Qinian, Zhang Goudan."

"arrive."

"Take the medicine box and follow me, abandon your horses and rush to the North Ridge Pass. The rest of you, spur your horses and give chase."

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan, Wang Qinian, and Zhang Liansong used their lightness skills to rush towards Beilingkou.

After reaching the Grandmaster level, a martial artist who is good at body movements will naturally be faster than a horse in terms of lightness skills.

But in terms of endurance, the warhorse still wins in the long run.

Normally, warriors rarely abandon their horses and use light skills to travel.

After all, no one wants to run out of energy and put themselves in danger when rushing to the battlefield.

But now for Xu Shan, time is life.

"Damn it, Cao Zhengchun..."

"I'll free my hands this time and pluck all your hair out."

More than 90% of those who can use the Five Poisons Powder and Rehmannia glutinosa so skillfully are from the radical faction of the Five Poisons Sect.

If you say that this has nothing to do with Cao Zhengchun, no one would believe it!

Just as Xu Shan led Wang Qinian and Zhang Liansong and rushed to Beilingkou, Cao Zhengchun in Yongshou Palace was listening to the report of a black shadow.

"He Tietian, the life-threatening mother-in-law, are they all here?"

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's question, the black shadow with a hoarse voice replied without any emotion: "Not only have we arrived, but we have already taken action at the entrance of Beiling."

"It is now certain where Xu Shan is heading at full speed."

After he finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun nodded heavily and said, "Xu Shan, aren't you known as 'righteous and upright'?"

"Are you willing to use your own Qi to detoxify your brother?"

"When you are exhausted, I wonder if you will still be able to stop the assassination of two ninth-rank masters."

After Cao Zhengchun finished his vicious words, the shadowy figure immediately asked, "Superintendent, do we need to take action against Jiaoling Posthouse?"

"I don't care whether the Prince of Beiliang lives or dies. I just want Xu Shan to die."

"Shan Kui, you brothers and sisters are my last trump card. You are also my capital to restrain the Divine Machine."

"There's no need to take action unless it's absolutely necessary."

"understand!"

"Just in case, have your people keep an eye on the Beilingkou area."

"Yes."

Just as Cao Dugong finished speaking, a female official came running over in a hurry.

"Master Du, the Queen Mother invites you in."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to the secret room where the empress dowager was in seclusion.

The place was filled with smoke. Lin Ruoyun was completely immersed in the potion, with only her head exposed.

"Didn't you order Yu Huatian to seize the [Golden Wave Flower]? Why hasn't it been presented yet?"

"My Nine Yin Manual has reached the most critical moment."

Cao Zhengchun did not dare to hide this matter and told it in detail.

"Ok?"

After he finished saying this, Lin Ruoyun, who had originally closed her eyes, suddenly opened them.

The corners of his dark lips opened and closed as he asked, "How do you do things? Didn't you say that the Saint, the reincarnated Saint, wanted to ask him about her past?"

"To answer the Queen Mother, we have all been deceived by Daji. Her so-called 'asking about the past' does not mean cutting off all hair and ending everything as previously stated. Instead, she wants to use Xu Shan to purge the karmic fire within her body."

"Bitch! She and I are indeed not in harmony."

"Since she doesn't value what she has now, then I'll completely crush it. Without the [Golden Wave Flower], I will strip her of her Karma Fire Lotus to help me achieve greater perfection in my divine power."

"what?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will suffer a backlash. Besides, this matter must be handled by me personally, but if I leave the palace, Queen Mother..."

Before Cao Zhengchun could finish his words, Lin Ruoyun spoke up, "Do you think that Zhichun, who descended to the mortal world, hopes that Daji will eliminate the karmic fire, seal the forbidden spell, and fight against the heavens?"

"Of course not. Does the Queen Mother mean to use the help of the monks of Jiming Temple?"

"Yes, tomorrow is Jiming Temple's 'Buddha Bathing Day'. The Buddha Lotus can remove some of the 'Karma Fire Poison' and naturally, it can also restrain the backlash of the Red Lotus and thus peel it off."

"She will definitely go! When the time comes, as long as Zhichun is willing to set up the formation, that bitch Daji won't be able to protect the 'Karma Fire Red Lotus'."

"Tell Zhichun that if he can help me achieve my divine power, I will convert to Buddhism. I will be bound by the Brahma Fire and help the gods to eliminate all those who dare to defy the will of heaven."

"Hmm? Queen Mother, think twice. Once the Brahma Fire is planted on you, you will..."

"I have made up my mind!"

"Do it immediately."

"Yes!"

After Cao Zhengchun left, Lin Ruoyun stretched out her slender right hand from the water with a "whoosh" sound. She clenched it tightly while muttering, "Yuan Tiangang, you have made me childless for the rest of my life. I will slaughter your entire family! Including..."

"That bitch Zhu Youwei!"
