The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Jia Daoshi never expected that the other party would dare to send him a message via flying knife.

That being said, he has indeed told his men not to be too strict lately, as they need to give the other side an opportunity!

Clearly, they seized this opportunity.

"Finally waiting for you!"

A smile played on Jia Daoshi's lips as he stepped forward, drew his dagger, and took the envelope.

As for poisoning or something, he wasn't worried at all.

With his Nine Yang Body and Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, he is immune to all poisons in the world!

The envelope was neither sealed nor poisoned, clearly indicating that the sender was aware of the situation.

After taking out the letter, I found a line of elegant handwriting that exuded a touch of ethereal beauty.

"At midnight tonight, at the mountain god temple on Shili Slope outside the city."

A simple line of words.

There was no signature or inscription.

"Isn't this a bit too perfunctory?"

Jia Daoshi was speechless. During this sensitive period, you still used a flying knife to send a message to ask him to meet. Wasn't this a clear attempt to sabotage him?

You could at least say something threatening, like you know some secret about me!

However, on the other hand, since the other party only left such a sentence, and was so certain that he would keep the appointment, it is clear that he is very aware of the current situation and also very aware of Jia Daoshi himself!

"Who is it that is so certain I will keep the appointment?"

"I don't think I have any lovers outside, do I?"

Jia Daoshi casually placed the letter aside, a smile appearing on his face: "Alright, since you're so confident I'll keep the appointment, I can't let you down."

"However, the outcome of keeping the appointment might disappoint you!"

……

Dense forest outside the city.

Saintess and Gongsun Zhi remained standing on the treetops of the two trees.

This place is on higher ground than Shouchun City, so the view of Shouchun City from here is just right.

At this time, Shouchun City was very busy. Soldiers were training outside the city, and from time to time, Qingjin Army soldiers who came to join the imperial court needed to register in a military camp outside the city.

Gongsun Zhi frowned deeply as he looked at the scene before him. In the past few days, many soldiers in the Green Turban Army had secretly deserted, and the morale of the newly formed Right Route Army was very unstable, and it was on the verge of collapse.

And all of this was the work of that bastard Jia Daoshi!

"Holy Maiden, will your idea work? It's said that Jia Daoshi is as cunning as a fox, he won't be fooled so easily!" Gongsun Zhi said with a suspicious look.

All that's left is a letter, just one sentence, and you expect people to obediently come out and jump into the trap?

"Don't worry, given his temperament, he'll definitely keep his appointment." The Holy Maiden said calmly, her tone unwavering. "However, it's uncertain whether Elder Gongsun will be able to keep him when he arrives."

"Holy Maiden, do you mean you know him very well?" Gongsun Zhi sneered. "Or is it that you've already fallen for that boy?"

"Gongsun Zhi, who gave you the audacity to slander this Holy Maiden!" The Holy Maiden's face darkened.

"Holy Maiden, please calm down. I was just speaking casually," Gongsun Zhi chuckled.

"This is a one-time exception, otherwise, don't blame this Holy Maiden for being impolite!" The Holy Maiden's voice gradually turned cold.

"Holy Maiden, what if that boy doesn't come? Are we just going to wait here like this?" Gongsun Zhi didn't care about the threat from the Holy Maiden.

Because Gongsun Zhi is the strongest elder under the mysterious master, the Holy Maiden is only saying that; she definitely wouldn't dare to actually touch him!

“Of course.” The Holy Maiden nodded. “This Jia Daoshi is so young, yet he has defeated so many masters in the martial world. How could he possibly take us seriously? Elder Gongsun, you should think about what to do if we are no match for him when we meet him.”

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi laughed heartily: "Holy Maiden, you need not worry about that. This elder has a plan!"

"Besides, why should the Holy Maiden boost the enemy's morale and diminish her own? The Life-Devouring Pill given by the master is enough to deal with him!"

The Holy Maiden said nothing more, turned around, and with a light step, she flew away swiftly on the treetops, like a fairy walking in the air!

Gongsun Zhi watched the Holy Maiden's departing figure, his eyes shifting between light and shadow. Finally, he let out a cold snort and followed her.

……

night.

child time.

The summer nights are very clear, with countless stars and moonlight making it possible to see clearly even without lights.

Shili Slope!

This is a mass grave located ten miles outside Shouchun City!

To the east of the mass grave, there is a mountain god temple.

Inside the mountain god temple, the Holy Maiden and Gongsun Zhi were sitting cross-legged beside a bonfire.

The air was filled with the strong smell of kerosene.

"It seems this is the backup plan Elder Gongsun was talking about."

The Holy Maiden frowned as she looked at the barrels of kerosene piled around the mountain god's temple.

"With so much oil, isn't Elder Gongsun afraid of blowing himself up too?"

Gongsun Zhi smiled faintly, with a hint of mockery, and said, "What? Is the Holy Maiden afraid?"

"I just think your approach is a bit risky," the Holy Maiden said, shaking her head.

"This is nothing." Gongsun Zhi picked up the Myriad Souls Sword placed in front of him. "I like to be cautious in my actions. This oil is just a backup plan. I believe that with the Life-Devouring Pill and this Myriad Souls Sword, I can kill that brat!"

The Holy Maiden said nothing more; the crackling firelight shone on her face, flickering uncertainly.

Seeing that the Holy Maiden remained silent, Gongsun Zhi curled his lips into a disdainful smile. Unlike the others in the sect who held the Holy Maiden in awe, he believed that the Holy Maiden's current status in the Green Turban Army was solely due to her master's favoritism.

Moreover, this woman put on a very high and mighty attitude, refusing to take the Life-Giving Pill no matter what!

If you don't take the Life-Giving Pill, wouldn't that make them all look like short-sighted, useless people?

What are you pretending for!

Many people in the Green Turban Army are now gradually developing a grudge against the Holy Maiden, all because Gongsun Zhi is secretly stirring things up.

"Holy Maiden, you look so worried. Are you afraid before the battle even begins? Or are you afraid that kid won't come? Let me make this clear: if that kid doesn't come, then this elder will have to speak ill of the Holy Maiden to the master!" Gongsun Zhi sneered.

"Don't worry, he will definitely come. Since Elder Gongsun is so eager, let him go first." The Holy Maiden remained calm.

"Of course," Gongsun Zhi said with an air of arrogance.

This time, when he came out to deal with Jia Daoshi, he not only brought several high-grade Life-Devouring Pills, but also the Myriad Souls Sword!

With his current strength at the Nine Heavens Realm, how could a mere brat be his match?

In any case, in his own view, this mission was a foregone conclusion.

As for the Holy Maiden, she insisted on coming along this time. I wonder what she's up to!

We need to be careful later.

Saintess naturally noticed Gongsun Zhi's hostility.

However, she didn't care. No matter how bold Gongsun Zhi was, he wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of her.

He's nothing but a clown!
