Chapter 360: The nobles of the state of Chu

Views:

Stone Collar's expression changed slightly, he grabbed the unconscious woman's wrist, and let go of his hand for a moment, "It's offended. The nobleman's condition is not very good, and he must be treated immediately. Let's get out of here first! You support the nobleman and follow me!"

Picking up a long sword, the stone leader strode forward, waving the sword energy in the wrist, killing a bloody path.

Seeing the leader's intention, the remaining guards roared and entangled their opponents regardless of death or injury.

The stone leader strode forward, and the maid staggered behind with the help of the nobleman. The sound of the fighting gradually faded away, and the sky became completely dark.

"The wilderness is too dangerous at night, and the nobles also need treatment. We will stop here."

A few swords cut through the thorns that blocked the road, and the stone leader entered the cave first, then quickly turned around and came out, "Safe, you help the noble to enter."

He stayed outside, wiped away the traces of the sword slash, and placed an insulating aura disk, turned around and strode into the cave.

The maid had taken out a night pearl and skillfully placed it in the groove of the grotto, and the darkness was immediately expelled.

"Stone collar, save the noble!" Her face turned pale, her voice trembling and a little vague because of fear.

The stone leader nodded, knelt down beside the noble, grabbed her hand, and said solemnly: "This girl, I need some clean water to rinse, you are ready."

"Okay!" The maid turned her hands and took out the cyan jade basin, as well as the large bucket of sealed spring water, tore off the sealing film and poured the water into the basin.

puff-

There was a muffled sound, quite harsh in the closed grotto, the handmaiden shook her hand, and the spring water fell to the ground.

She widened her eyes in horror, watching the stone collar a little bit, drawing out the blood-stained long sword, her body trembling constantly.

Stone collar turned around, his expression still cold, "You are a loyal servant, then go to Huangquan with the nobles and continue to serve."

As he said, he approached with great strides, raised his sword and stabbed.

But at this moment, a strange look suddenly appeared on the face of the stone collar. He stared at the maid for a long time and slowly said, "Is it you?"

The maid's face was still pale, but the panic had disappeared, and her eyes showed disgust, "You are not qualified to kill Ben Gong!"

The stone collar frowned, and took a step slowly, then another step, the maid had retreated to the edge of the grotto, and the distance between the two was less than one meter.

But this meter is an unbridgeable gulf. His burly body fell on his back and fell heavily on the ground.

Between the mouth and nose and the seven orifices, black blood gushed out, and you could see countless tiny creatures struggling in the black blood, and soon lost their vitality with the death of the host.

The maid picked up the long sword and cut off his head, her face became paler and her body trembled again.

She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there was an uncontrollable fear in her tender eyes.

If she hadn't changed her clothes and fed the backlash poison pot in advance, she would be dead now.

The stone collar was actually theirs!

The maid's body trembled more and more, and the fear was like a tide, almost drowning her mind.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, her eyes flashing quickly.

Looking at it now, she has no choice but to wait here to see if there is another chance.

Otherwise, even if you kill the stone collar, with her cultivation, there is no chance to get out of this wilderness.

Putting away the night pearl, the grotto fell into darkness. The maid leaned against the cold stone wall with her legs in her arms, forcing herself not to think about the two corpses next to her, and it took some time before she forced herself to sleep.

A slight sound woke the maid, and she stood up instantly, her face turning pale again.

"Master Shi, are you and your noble person inside?"

The maid's eyes brightened. She quickly walked a few steps and put something on the two corpses. She turned and walked out of the grotto. It was already bright outside.

The twenty or so guards were all injured, and seeing the maid's eyes brightened, they hurriedly asked, "How about the chief and the nobles?"

The maid glanced around, flipped her hand and took out a token, which seemed to be gold and non-gold with the infusion of mana, emitting an extremely pure golden light, majestic and noble.

"Ben Gong's nineteenth princess Xiong Yuan'e, Shi Ling and her maid have all died in order to save this palace."

The guards were startled, they naturally recognized the royal token, and hurriedly knelt to the ground, "I don't know the princess at the humble level, please forgive the princess!"

Xiong Yuan'e looked dignified, "Those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention that you are loyal guards, and when this palace is free from the murder of the traitor, you will definitely be rewarded."

"I swear to protect His Highness to the death!"

Xiong Yuane's eyes swept over, and she flickered slightly, "You, you, and you, go into the grotto and bring out the corpse of the stone collar."

Three guards were ordered, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he hurriedly said that he had entered the grotto.

Soon, the stone collar and the corpse of the maid were taken out, but at this moment, the three guards screamed, their bodies rolled and fell to the ground, and soon died of anger.

The guard was restless for a while, and Xiong Yuan'e exclaimed, "No, there is poison on the body, we will leave immediately!"

No one objected.

Only at this moment did Her Royal Highness feel slightly relieved.

Although I don't know if there are any spies among the guards, at least it's much safer. She asked, it turned out that last night, a powerful monster suddenly appeared, and the raiders were forced to leave, and these guards were able to survive.

The flying car that was blown up, I don't know which produced it, the quality is so good, it can be started after a little cleaning.

Xiong Yuan'e lowered her head and thought about it, then carefully took out a mobile phone, turned it on, checked it a few times, printed out a map, and then turned it off immediately. She closed her eyes and handed the map to the guards after a few breaths. "There is a beast hunting camp here. As long as we get there, we will be temporarily safe."

Five days later, a weary team slowly entered the mountain range. All ten guards were injured, apparently having experienced a series of fierce battles.

"Stop! Who are you, how dare you trespass into the beast hunting camp!" Several guards looked alert, but did not go any further.

Because they smelled a lot of blood from these guards, and they were obviously all battle-hardened people.

Of course, the more important reason is the tattered surface of the speeding car.

The guards may not have a high level of cultivation, but after staying in the beast hunting camp for a long time, their eyesight is not bad.

This flying car has obviously suffered a lot of shocks along the way, but it is still roughly intact, which is obviously unusual.

Could it be who, the big man who went hunting in the wilderness

When the guards thought about it, the car door opened from the inside, and a dazzling woman stepped out. A large and luxurious long skirt, with auspicious clouds embroidered on the skirt, every line exudes, powerful fluctuations of power. Among the dark clouds, there are only three or four pieces of pearl hairpins.

Apart from being dazzling, the guards really don't know how to describe her.

After a while, the leader descended to the teleportation mountain, and after verifying the token, his voice showed respect, "Your honor, please enter the camp and rest."

Qin Yu retreated to seek a breakthrough opportunity, but did not know of a big trouble, and had already entered the beast hunting camp.

After settling the nineteenth princess of Great Chu, she led the adults back to the study, wiped her face with a hot towel, and sat down a little tired.

Xu Jiao put away the towel with a worried look on his face, "Sir, this is not an easy matter."

The Great Chu Empire dominates the south, and its territory accounts for almost a quarter of the seven great empires.

Immortal Sect and Demon Dao are so powerful that they still have to back down in front of the Great Chu Empire, otherwise it will be difficult for Daoism to spread.

The status of such a princess is much more noble than that of some small country monarchs.

But obviously, the princess who entered the camp today is being hunted down. Saying that they were attacked by monsters was just a cover up. The injuries of the guards and the traces left by the speeding cars were obviously the means of monks. The dignified princess of Chu was chased and killed, but the princess herself had to cover it up. The deep meaning revealed here makes people shudder.

The commander smiled bitterly, "Brother Xu, you and I both know that it's a disaster." He paused and said concisely, "This will kill people."

Xu Jiao was very worried, "Sir, since His Highness concealed it on his own, we should just assume that we don't know, and send them away as soon as possible."

"I'm just afraid that Her Royal Highness, Princess, will not leave easily."

"Promise all the conditions!" Xu Jiao said solemnly, "I believe that Her Royal Highness, the Princess, will not push us into a desperate situation, otherwise accidents will easily happen."

The commander smiled but not smiled, "Brother Xu is so cruel, Nanyue is a vassal of Great Chu, do you and I dare to move a Highness?"

Xu Jiao felt slightly relieved, and became more and more calm, "Of course we don't dare to touch the princess, but we can always hide if we can't afford it. I don't think your highness will see the result."

"Haha, I'm fortunate to have Brother Xu help me out."

"My lord is strategizing, why use me to solve it."

On the second day, the Lord Commander asked to see Her Royal Highness the Princess, left after a while, and summoned all the high-level officials of the Beast Hunting Camp for an emergency consultation.

"Everyone, regarding the identity of Your Highness, I have ordered it to be blocked. I hope you will not leak it at will, so as not to cause trouble." The commander swept his eyes, "Okay, let's discuss the request of the noble."

Xu Jiao got up and said, "The noble asked us to hunt for animals to provide her with some supplies and guards, and there must be ten spiritual monks."

After saying that, he nodded and sat down.

The leader said: "The safety of the nobles is more important than everything. The candidates you propose must be fully grasped, otherwise, if something goes wrong, you and I will be unlucky."

An army general tentatively asked: "Has the commander-in-chief asked for instructions from Dunanguan, about the noble person?"

The commander's face was expressionless, "The noble asked us to keep it secret."

The meeting room went quiet.

Everyone understands that this is to send people to die.

There is a reminder from the commander that this candidate must be a confidant. Thinking of this, the faces of the high-level beast hunting camps are ugly.

Soul realm confidant, for them, is also a very heavy bargaining chip, but now they have to throw it away in vain.

The commander said lightly: "This commander is the head of the beast hunting camp, and I am responsible for this matter. I am responsible for three places."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the field was slightly relaxed, and there were still seven places, and everyone could get together by only one person.

After half an hour, the list of ten souls appeared, and the senior officials left in a hurry.

Next, they still have a lot of arrangements, such as... Let the subordinates be willing to die.

Of course, the guards that nobles want are not as simple as ten souls, and the Nascent Soul cultivator needs a hundred people.

Of course, in the eyes of your senior management, this is a very simple matter.

Yuan Jingzhe returned to the study, paused for a while and visited four colleagues successively, and he left without spending too much time.

There was a knock on the door, and Yuan Jingzhe said, "Come in."

With slightly cloudy eyes, the cultivator pushed the door and entered, with white hair, "See your lord."

"Zheng Hai, are you clear about everything?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Any complaints?"

"The life of the humble is saved by adults."

Yuan Jingzhe said lightly: "After you leave, I will promise that I will accept your son as an adopted son."

Zheng Hai showed excitement and knelt down on one knee, "Thank you sir!"

A cold light flashed in Yuan Jingzhe's eyes, "Among the guards, there is a person named Qin Yu, and I wanted you to kill him with your own hands."

Zheng Hai grinned, "This subordinate will definitely do it!"
