Late at night, in the wild, in a ruined temple.

Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and the others, because of a temporary change of route, missed the post station and village where they could stay, so they could only find a deserted ruined temple in the wild and make do with it for a night.

The **** statue in this ruined temple only has half of its body left, and it has disappeared from the waist up. It is unknown who removed it, let alone where it was thrown.

The ruined temple was covered with cobwebs and dust all over the floor, but Qin Shaoyou and others had long been used to this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

It is already very good to have a ruined temple that can shelter from the wind and rain. It is better than sleeping in the wild, right?

As for ferocious beasts and ghosts, others are afraid of them, but they are not.

Not only not afraid, but also eager to meet a few, add a supper and work meal.

Especially Gunshan Jun, who has been standing at the gate of the ruined temple, looking hard into the night, hoping that some ghosts will come to claim his life, so that his good deeds and accumulated virtues can be opened.

In the ruined temple, Zhu Xiucai and the others gathered firewood and lit a fire.

Everyone took out dry food from their pockets, or skewered it with wooden sticks, or carried it with blood, and put it on the fire to roast.

The dry food is naturally not as delicious as Qin Shaoyou's spiritual dishes. Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou brought seasonings such as witch salt, yin vinegar, and ghost dew. After the dry food is heated, rub a little bit on it, which can also increase the taste and effect, and let everyone how much There is some comfort.

Of course, Qin Qiaoer and her red-clothed envoys did not feel that this was comfort.

They just think that the dry food eaten by Qin Shaoyou and his group is so delicious, and it even has the effect of improving cultivation, so it shouldn't be too extravagant.

"Sister, here you are."

After Qin Shaoyou smeared a layer of ghost dew on the baked naan bread, sprinkled some witch salt, handed it to Qin Qiaoer, and took the naan bread she was baking in her hand. What are you going to do at the Qingtang front?"

On the road before, Qin Shaoyou felt that it was not the time to ask questions, so he held back from asking.

Until now, Cui Yougui and the others had set up corresponding organs and magic circles around the ruined temple. Only then did Qin Shaoyou ask about the purpose of this trip to the front line of Qingtang.

"There are two main tasks."

Qin Qiaoer took a bite of the naan bread and thought it tasted good, her eyes suddenly shone with surprise.

While eating naan bread, she replied: "The first task is to investigate how the Qingtang barbarians and wizards slipped into Yizhou territory after crossing the front-line defense. The investigation is inside the front-line military. Is there any traitor who was bought by Qingtang... According to the paper crane talisman, the Qingtang barbarians and wizards have sneaked into Yizhou, which has been known by the emperor and court officials. In this dynasty, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War was scolded bloody, not only ordered to reprimand the Marquis of Dongchuan on the spot, but also ordered my town monster to investigate the matter!"

Qin Shaoyou nodded and said: "This incident has indeed had a bad impact, and even almost shaken the foundation of the country. It really should be thoroughly investigated... Is the demon suppressor at the front line suspected?"

There is a demon town on the front line of Qingtang, and it is said that this matter should be investigated by them, but now they have directly sent their two teams of red-clothed envoys, so Qin Shaoyou asked this question.

Qin Qiao'er lowered her voice and said: "The town demon over there has been cooperating with the military all year round and has a close relationship. It's hard to guarantee that they won't help cover up. Moreover, during the recent period, there are not only Qingtang's sentries and wizards making trouble on the front line, but also The beasts and ghosts who ran away smelling blood. The demon town over there has to deal with these situations, and the manpower is already stretched. They have been asking for support from the demon town in Yizhou and the demon town headquarters in Beijing, but they really can't get it out. Extra manpower, to investigate this matter."

Qin Shaoyou nodded, expressing his understanding, and asked, "What is the second task?"

"Find a way to sneak into the green pond and see what's going on over there."

When Qin Qiaoer said this, she raised her head and looked directly at Qin Shaoyou.

"After learning the news that King Qingtang was dead, the imperial court asked eminent monks to do divination. It turned out that King Qingtang was still alive, and his fate was not exhausted."

"Qingtang King is still alive?"

This news made Qin Shaoyou stunned for a moment, and said with a frown, "Is that Qingtang wizard lying? It shouldn't be. I didn't see the slightest trace of lying from him."

Qin Qiaoer said: "I didn't find any traces of lying on that Qingtang wizard. It is very likely that he really did not lie. People from all tribes in Qingtang think that the old Qingtang king is dead, but in fact, The old Qingtang King is still alive."

"If so, there are several possibilities..."

Qin Shaoyou removed the naan bread from the fire, and while smearing ghost dew on it, he thought: "Or, this is a play played by King Qingtang, using the false news of his murder to start a war. But with him I don’t think it’s necessary for the prestige of the various tribes in Qingtang, right? Even pretending to be seriously injured is better than pretending to be dead.”

Qin Qiaoer agreed with Qin Shaoyou's judgment, and said, "Continue, what else could it be?"

"Or, it's true, as we guessed, the son of King Qingtang couldn't wait, and was persuaded by the monk to see him tomorrow, so he attacked and killed King Qingtang, but he didn't completely kill him and let him survive. I'm hiding somewhere to heal my wounds..."

"I can't rule out the possibility. But if King Qingtang is not dead, why didn't the son who murdered his father go after him with all his strength, and came to attack me, Daxia?"

When Qin Qiaoer said this, she came to her own judgment.

"Could it be that the Qingtang King ran into our Daxia territory, so that son who murdered his father went to war with Daxia, trying to find the Qingtang King and kill him to prevent future troubles? Or, that The son who murdered his father did not know that King Qingtang was alive. He attacked Daxia, just as we guessed before, in order to gain power for himself and eradicate dissidents? If so, we have found Qingtang who is still alive Wang, maybe we can make Qingtang cease fighting and retreat."

Qin Shaoyou took a bite of the naan bread, and said while eating: "I think so too~lightnovelpub.net~ Although these two possibilities are relatively low, it doesn't mean it won't happen. After all, in this world, no matter how outrageous , No matter how illogical things are, there are occurrences.”

Qin Qiaoer didn't agree with his emotion, but asked: "King Qingtang is not dead, is there any other possibility?"

"There is another kind."

Qin Shaoyou's eyes were fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not the son of King Qingtang who killed his father, but the king of Qingtang killed his own son, practiced sorcery, and doves occupied the magpie's nest, turning himself from a father into a son..."

This guess is even more outrageous, but considering that he will see the monk tomorrow to participate, Qin Shaoyou feels that no matter how outrageous things are, it is not impossible.

According to the latest information, the King of Qingtang is not as judged by the Demon Lord in the past. Because he is old, he is addicted to pleasure and does not think about making progress.

He has been secretly accumulating strength, and has never given up the idea and desire to invade the Great Xia Dynasty.

It's just that he is really too old, and he suffered a lot of injuries when he was young on the battlefield.

These injuries began to break out as he grew older, making him tortured even though his cultivation was not low.

Under such circumstances, seeing the monk find him tomorrow and propose a plan for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, King Qingtang might not be moved.

Even if the magpie's nest to occupy is his son.

Qin Qiaoer was frightened by her brother's guess, but after careful consideration, it was not impossible.

The son of Emperor Jianwu can die inexplicably; the son of the King of Shu can test medicine and turn into a zombie... Then King Qingtang took a son who was in his prime and came to occupy the magpie's nest so that he could "regain his youth". What is impossible?

"call…"

Qin Qiaoer exhaled a foul breath.

It seems that this trip to Qingtang is more complicated and dangerous than imagined!
