Patrol Captain

Mu Yuntian tore the piece of gold through the air, and a piece of gold-glittering plaque fell out of the man's sleeve and landed on the ground.

When Mu Yuntian saw this, his brows furrowed deeply.

At this time, the man with the disfigured face rolled his eyes, and his voice was a little bewitching, but also a little tougher.

"General Mu, are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Your Excellency shouldn't have taken action. You should be able to guess what the above means."

"It would be best if the Lieutenant General of Shu died in an accident. Today's opportunity is actually the most suitable. What a pity."

"However, my Lord, you can find another opportunity..."

He spoke in a gloomy tone, but the next second, there was a loud explosion in the air.

Before this man could finish his words, his eyes suddenly narrowed and Mu Yuntian clapped his hands at him.

"you"

He was about to say something, but under the strong wind, fear finally appeared in his pupils.

The next second, there was a muffled bang.

The man's head exploded like a watermelon, his disgusting face disappeared, and red and white things scattered everywhere.

Mu Yuntian withdrew his hand with a cold expression, looked at the headless body of the man falling to the ground indifferently, and snorted coldly.
"I wanted to give you a chance to live."

"But you're so stupid."

"It's not your turn to teach me how to do things!"

After saying that, Mu Yuntian waved his hand casually, and a wisp of flame burned the two dead creatures in front of him to ashes.

Then he put his hands behind his back, lowered his eyes, and watched the golden light in the flame slowly melt and become dim.
"Why bother!"

"I will kill unless forced!"

When the flames went out, Mu Yuntian's expression changed, becoming as calm as before. He then stepped forward and disappeared.

The next morning, just after dawn, at the front gate of Baoqing government office.

A group of officials and clerks from the government office arrived here early in groups of three or five.

Those with rank stood inside the gate, while those without rank waited outside the yamen in groups of two or three, stretching their heads and standing on tiptoe to look inside the gate.

At this time, above the government office, there was an ancient and majestic black flying boat. Its entire body was made of black iron. It was called a flying boat, but in fact it looked more like a warship!
There are various profound rune array inscriptions on it, as well as weapons and armor on display.

Not long after, there was a commotion at the front door of the government office, and a sound of salutes was heard from inside the door.

The clerks and military officers who were waiting outside the door and whispering to each other quickly stopped talking, stood up, straightened their clothes, and looked more respectful.

At this time, several people stepped out from the high threshold of the government office gate.

Led by the leader, two people walked out side by side.

One of them was naturally Mu Yuntian, the general of Sanqin. At this time, the general was wearing official uniform, a purple Kirin official robe, majestic and domineering, and intimidating without even being angry.

Chen Yuan next to him was wearing a blue casual suit, with a gentle face, looking like a noble young man!
Half a body behind him, Gongsun Yang was carrying a splendid bag, which was bulging with stuff, and he looked normal.

Gou Yue and Xu Shaoqing lagged behind by one step.

Behind them were the local governors and prefects, each leading officials on both sides.

After a few people left the house, the soldiers and clerks outside all knelt down and saluted in unison.

"Greetings, General!"

His voice was loud and his eyes were filled with passion and awe, and he was looking forward to showing his face in front of the general.

But this General Mu obviously did not pay any attention to any of them. After he and Chen Yuan stepped out of the government office, he looked up at the black warship in the sky and said to Chen Yuan:
"Chen Zhonglang, please!"

Chen Yuan raised his eyes slightly and nodded, then his body turned into a ray of green light and shot up into the sky, directly hitting the flying boat in the sky.

Seeing this, Mu Yuntian turned his head slightly and said to the local officials on both sides with a blank expression,
"You guys will have to work harder for the rest of the process and try to minimize the impact. Let's all go."

"Yes!" The local lord and others obeyed.

Mu Yuntian nodded, then turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky.

Soon after, Xu Shaoqing and the other two followed suit.

"Congratulations, sir!"

Lord Baoqing and the prefect brought their attendants to support him and see him off respectfully.

The other kneeling officials echoed, then stood up, raised their heads to look up at the sky, with looks of surprise in their eyes, and couldn't help whispering.

"Who is that person next to the general? He actually treats him with courtesy!"

"Hush, you can't tell yet, this is the mighty dragon and tiger from yesterday. The dragon and tiger from Taibai Cave Heaven died in his hands. He has extraordinary abilities, otherwise who would be able to get the general to personally invite him!"

"Hiss, he looks like two different people before and after. I couldn't recognize him at all." The person who spoke took a breath, thinking of the battle last night, feeling a little dazed.

He looked like just a noble young man, and his temperament was so different from the majestic figure who was invincible in the world yesterday that I was a little shortsighted for a moment.

Under the gaze of everyone, the black flying boat in the sky made a buzzing sound, rolled up two long air waves, and sped away to the east, soon disappearing into the sky.

In front of the gate, Lord Baoqing finally put down his hand, took a long breath, tilted his head, looked at Li Xun who was still looking up, and said:
"Master Li, don't look anymore. The general and the general have already left."

Li Xun seemed to come back to his senses, his expression was a little complicated, and he said "oh".

When Lord Baoqing saw him like this, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said:
"Congratulations, Master Li!"

Li Xun was slightly stunned. "Why did Lord Zhang say that? Why are you so happy?"

The local lord's surname was Zhang. He raised his eyebrows and said in an inexplicable tone,
"I heard that your aunt is an old friend of an old gentleman accompanying the general?"

"He also gave me treasures."

"When the general heard about this, he will probably keep an eye on you in the future. Who knows, you may be able to rise to great heights in the future."

As he said this, he chuckled, with some profound meaning in his words.

However, this also indirectly proves that the Lord of the Mansion has eyes and ears on many things. He soon learned about what happened in the backyard of the government office last night. However, there were so many people around last night that the matter could not be concealed.

He was the one who reported this matter to the general, and Mu Yuntian didn't say anything about it.

Li Xun was not a fool. Having worked together for many years, he could tell that his colleague's tone was meaningful, so he whispered:

"I have heard about the events in Shu. It is so unfair. I think there is something else behind what Brother Zhang said. Please enlighten me!"

When Lord Baoqing heard this, he felt that his goal had been achieved.

One of them is a martial artist, the other is a scholar. They are of the same rank and perform their respective duties. They manage the entire Baoqing Prefecture. Although they have worked together for many years without much friction, it is impossible for them to be of the same mind. In the context of the prosperity of martial arts, the lord of the prefecture often holds greater power. He is worried that Li Xun has a connection with a dragon and tiger, and is afraid that he will become arrogant, so there is such a conversation now.

As a direct subordinate of the Fusi, he knew some information about the Lieutenant General of Shu, so he spoke and conveyed the message in secret.

"Although Shu is adjacent to Guanzhong, there is a natural barrier between them, and it is not easy to exchange information. Lord Li may not know why the Dragon and Tiger Lieutenant General came to Beijing this time?"

At this point, he narrowed his eyes, "It is said that this person killed three patrol angels, causing a stir in the God City. It was rumored that he was going to rebel, so the God City ordered him to enter the capital."

When Li Xun heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately felt a scale on his chest getting hot, "What?"

"Why else do you think the commander-in-chief issued an urgent order to find this lieutenant general?"

Li Xun's face was uncertain, and the local lord saw his expression and realized that his goal had been achieved and he had said almost everything, so he patted his shoulder.

"This is a very complicated matter. It is hard to say whether this Lieutenant General will come to Beijing for good or bad luck. But then again, what happened between the Lieutenant General and your family yesterday was just a small matter. No one will care about it. Lord Li, just relax."

Having said that, the Lord just smiled and left the government office.

Li Xun watched the Lord of the Mansion leave, his expression flickering, and finally he shook his hands and turned back.

At this time, on the flying boat, Chen Yuan shouted to Gongsun Yang who was standing on the deck and looking down.

"Mr. Gongsun, we have gone a long way. There is still a long way to go. Don't keep General Mu waiting."

"Yes!"

Gongsun Yang lifted the bag on his shoulder and quickly followed the others into the cabin.

The flying boat headed eastward at a very fast speed.

On the other side, 20,000 miles away, is Shu.

In Taiping County, 700 miles southeast of Jinguan City, there was a howling wind and snow in broad daylight.

The Zushan Mountain outside Taiping County was still shrouded in fog. It had become a forbidden area and had been blocked by the Ninth Mountain Army these days. The officials told the public that the mountain was dangerous and many people had disappeared, so the mountain was blocked.

On this day, on a hill a few miles away from this mountain, a few streaks of light rushed down in the wind and snow and landed here.

Several figures with extraordinary aura appeared inside!
The first one was a man with a fierce aura, leopard eyes, bushy beard, and a whisker like a steel brush. He was more than nine feet tall and wore tight black leather armor. His body lines stretched his clothes out of proportion, making him look like a human-shaped ferocious beast.

He looked around with his leopard eyes and saw several people rushing out from the woods on the hill like flying birds and monkeys.

These people's faces had appeared here before. They were the people from Beiliang.

When they saw the person coming, they were shocked and immediately knelt on one knee.

"General Wei!"

This man was a fierce general under the command of the King of Beiliang and also an adopted son of the king. He had made great military achievements and once slaughtered an entire small country in the Western Regions alone. It was rumored that he ate raw human flesh and was known as the massacre of tens of thousands of people. His notoriety was so fierce that it frightened all the countries in the Western Regions.

Such a vicious man came all the way here, naturally he came for the missing Prince of Beiliang and his entourage.

The disappearance of the Crown Prince has caused some turmoil in the palace. About a month has passed since the news of the Crown Prince's disappearance came out. Rumors began to spread in the palace, saying that the Crown Prince had been missing for so long and most likely met with an accident, so those brothers began to become restless.

After the news came that Zuo Changshi, who had been sent out to look for the prince, had disappeared again, more and more discordant voices appeared in the palace. Some people began to waver, expressed different opinions, and even stopped the search for the prince.

However, as long as the prince is around, there won't be any trouble.

He was sent to Shu!
"You are all useless. The prince is in trouble, but you are still alive. You are just waiting here like an idiot."

Wei Wu's leopard eyes flashed with ferocity as he glanced at several people, making them shiver. A chill ran down their foreheads and they quickly lowered their bodies.

"General Wei, please spare our lives. We are following your orders and staying outside."

Wei Wu was not satisfied with this answer. He looked down at him with a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his hand and grabbed a person from the air. He lifted the person's collar like a chicken.
"When did Zuo Changshi disappear? How did he disappear?"

He asked coldly.

The person who was caught was afraid that he would be torn to pieces by this murderer, so he quickly replied:

"It's been eight or nine days. It's the mountain ahead. The prince and his men went to explore the mountain ahead and disappeared. After the chief secretary led his men in, there was no news."

After hearing this, Wei Wu narrowed his leopard eyes and threw the man to the ground. Then, through the wind and snow, he looked at the foggy mountain in the distance with his sharp leopard eyes.

Can't see through!
"What are those weapons and armor outside used for?" he suddenly asked with a squint.

"Reporting to General Wei, those are the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain of the local Fusi Mountain Army. They have blocked this place. It was the order of the Ninth Mountain Lieutenant General."

"Oh, it's the Lieutenant Colonel who killed three patrol angels!" The fierce general under the Northern Liang account shuddered when he heard this, and then snorted coldly, "This person is weird, he advanced too fast, others can only reach the threshold after dozens or hundreds of years of practice, but this Lieutenant Colonel was able to cross several realms in a short period of time, there must be something weird about him."

There was a hint of sourness and unwillingness in these words.

He entered the Dao of Military Science, killed countless people, fought countless battles, and tried to stop killing with killing, but he was stuck at the last step of Musashi for more than ten years and never had a chance to break through.

Beiliang knew a lot of intelligence about Shu. Some of them had infiltrated for many years and had a certain understanding of Chen Yuan's intelligence. They all felt that this person's rise was too fast and must be a demon.

The others remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

Wei Wu knew that he had strayed from the topic, so he returned to the topic, his eyes lit up with blazing fire, "That Jiu Zhonglang blocked this mountain, I guess he knows something, didn't Zuo Changshi ask about it?"

"This mountain was sealed after the Chief Secretary visited. The Chief Secretary once asked to see the General to help him find the Crown Prince, but he returned empty-handed. Later, the General changed his mind and called the Chief Secretary over, saying..."

Those who stayed here recounted in detail what had happened here before.

Wei Wu listened, but he remained skeptical, with a frightening look in his eyes.

"Could it be that Jiu Zhonglang is causing trouble?"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince did have some conflicts with this general, but when the prince got into trouble, this general seemed to be leading his troops to attack the Shiwan Mountains. The time seemed..."

Wei Wu's leopard eyes suddenly swept across the person who was speaking, frightening the other person so much that he trembled and dared not continue speaking.

“What do you know!”

"Since there is a conflict, they probably hope that the prince will disappear, and they might even interfere."

"Where is that Zhonglang General now?"

"He was summoned to the Imperial Capital by the court. He left several days after we sent the message back."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu bared his teeth and sneered, "How stupid! Those guys in the court are no good. He killed the patrol angel, so he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die."

"Forget it, that's great. Since no one is here, I'll just go through this place myself!"

As he spoke, he looked at the kneeling people with fierce eyes.

"You guys, go in and explore the way first."

"This is a communication talisman." (End of this chapter)
