The Imperial Guards, like Yama, slaughtered until the Empress cried out for help.

West Gate of Luoshui City.

Zhang Shan returned to Luoshui City with over a hundred Imperial Guards and more than a dozen carriages, his face beaming with excitement.

"This time, we really owe a lot to Commander Shen. I need to think of a good way to repay him."

Zhang Shan was all smiles. This support mission had really paid off handsomely. The diary that Shen Qing obtained at Baiying Manor contained records of several traitors, including quite a few big shots.

Although Zhang Shan's support arrived a little late, he did his best to help, so Shen Qing naturally wouldn't treat him unfairly.

They directly gave him one of the big fish, but unexpectedly, this big fish was related to a case he was working on, which greatly accelerated the progress of the case and brought it closer to being solved.

He really needed to think carefully about how to repay Shen Qing. At the same time, he also had a feeling that after so many unlucky times, it was time for his luck to change, and Shen Qing was his benefactor.

Just as Zhang Shan was lost in thought, the soldiers guarding the city gate suddenly rang the alarm bell and shouted.

"There's a ferocious beast!"

Zhang Shan turned around.

"A ferocious beast? What kind of ferocious beast is this, so blind as to attack Luoshui City?"

"Get ready."

Seeing that a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was stationed there, the soldiers guarding the city felt somewhat reassured and drew their bows, ready to fire.

But soon they started to panic again, because just looking at it from afar made their hearts tremble, and even Zhang Shan swallowed hard.

"What the hell? A ferocious beast at the peak of the Innate Realm? Why is it in Luoshui City?"

Soon, the sharp-eyed Zhang Shan noticed something: there seemed to be someone on the white tiger's back.

But this discovery made him even more uneasy. He had been a centurion for many years and had seen a lot. He also knew that in other places, there were warriors who kept ferocious beasts as pets or mounts.

As for using ferocious beasts at the Innate Realm as mounts, that is the privilege of martial artists at the Grandmaster Realm.

There are also such warriors in Yongning County, namely the Yongning County Garrison Commander. The other two commanders of a thousand households do not have such a person. However, as far as he knows, the Garrison Commander only keeps a golden eagle, which is no match for the white tiger.

The white tiger is the king of beasts, and its strength and taming difficulty far surpass those of the golden eagle.

Zhang Shan's eyes lit up. Could it be that some important figure had come to Yongning County?

The white tiger slowly approached.

Zhang Shan's eyes gradually filled with doubt.

Why does it feel like the person on the white tiger's back is Shen Qing?

But wait, shouldn't Shen Qing have gone back to the Hundred Household Office to rest after destroying Baiying Manor?

But the more I look at it, the more it seems to look like it.

"Not sure, let's wait and see."

"Holy crap, it really is Shen Qing!" Zhang Shan's voice suddenly rose three digits: "Wait, wasn't he sleeping in the city? Where did this white tiger come from?"

Fang Ming also put down the knife in his hand and craned his neck to look around.

Behind the white tiger, several horses were pulling a shaky carriage, on which lay the remains of more than a dozen wild wolves.

Soon, the white tiger approached, and Shen Qing jumped off it.

"Hey, isn't this Zhangshan?"

"Are they back from arresting them?"

Zhang Shan sheathed his sword, took a deep breath, and pointed at Baihu: "Whether or not we arrest anyone is irrelevant, but what you're doing..."

As Shen Qing felt the envious and admiring gazes of the Imperial Guards and bodyguards, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He reached out and patted the white tiger's head.

"You mean this? Last night I went out and killed a pack of wild wolves that ran out of Bailu Marsh, and I happened to run into this white tiger."

"Sigh, once it saw me, it insisted on coming with me, and I couldn't shake it off. As for its strength, it's just so-so, probably at the peak of the Innate Realm."

The white tiger's enormous eyes were also filled with doubt. Is that how it is? Should I leave?

Zhang Shan's lips twitched. He was only at the seventh level of the Innate Realm. You're telling me that he subdued a ferocious beast that was even more ferocious than me after just one trip out?

Go ahead and play, who can beat you?

Zhang Shan said sourly, "Shen Qing, let me tell you this first, you'll have no friends in the future if you keep going like this."

Shen Qing laughed heartily: "Let's go, let's go, I'm not teasing you anymore. We've killed a wolf at the Innate Realm, let's go back to the Hundred Household Office to drink and eat meat."

"Let's go! I'm going to drink you out of house and home today!" Zhang Shan said viciously.

Shen Qing thought of something and turned to look at Baihu: "You stay at the city gate for now. Conceal your aura first, or you might cause trouble if you enter the city like this."

The white tiger nodded, looking aggrieved. Could it be blamed for the aura emanating from its own body? After all, it was the king of beasts.

Soon, a group of Imperial Guards followed Shen Qing into the city.

The white tiger also looked back at the distant mountains and forests. If he ran away now, there was a high chance he could escape.

But after thinking for a while, the white tiger found a place at the city gate and lay down.

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Qing is a good person, and he is young and powerful.

To sum it up in one sentence.

Shen Qing's mount is worth the effort.

Not long after returning to the Hundred Household Office, Luoshui Treasure Pavilion delivered the Xuan Yu Qing Lian to the Hundred Household Office.

After obtaining the Xuan Yu Qing Lian, Shen Qing wasted no time and immediately ordered the Jinyiwei to brew it.

Several huge medicine barrels were carried into Shen Qing's room, and the faint sounds of dragons and elephants grew stronger as time went on.

Meanwhile, in Wuyang Prefecture, at the Imperial Palace in the capital city.

An old eunuch with a serious expression handed a memorial to Empress Zhu Lingyue.

A hint of surprise appeared in Zhu Lingyue's golden pupils.

"Shen Qing?"

"How long has it been since he last exposed the White Dragon Cult?"

The old eunuch calculated: "Your Majesty, it has not been a month yet."

"They've gotten themselves into so much trouble in less than a month. They really can't seem to stop."

Zhu Lingyue smiled.

"If he wants to cause trouble, then let him cause trouble."

"It's time for a change in the martial arts world of Da Wu. Let's start with Yongning County."

"I want to see what kind of trouble he can cause."

......

Turning our attention back to the Hundred Household Office.

Shen Qing stood quietly in the center of the pavilion.

Shen Qing has completely absorbed all the medicinal power, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique has successfully broken through to the fifth level. His physical strength has reached an unbelievable level.

Shen Qing is familiarizing himself with his power and gaining control of his body inch by inch.

Suddenly, Fang Ming walked into the courtyard.

"My lord, two fellows claiming to be Imperial Guards have arrived and insist on seeing you, sir."

"I've arranged for them to go to court."

Shen Qing slowly opened her eyes.

"The Golden Guard?"

"it is good."

The Jinwu Guard was one of the sixteen guards of the Wu Dynasty, and it was also directly under the emperor.

They act as guards, protecting key locations in various prefectures and counties. They are present in all kinds of treasure troves and medicinal herb cultivation areas. If the Embroidered Uniform Guards are special police, then the Golden Guards are bodyguards. The more skilled bodyguards sometimes act as messengers.

The sixth-rank official in the Sijie Jinwuwei was equivalent to a centurion in the Jinyiwei.

Shen Qing took a light step and walked directly across the lake towards the side hall.

Fang Ming also noticed that Shen Qing had been standing in the pavilion an hour earlier, motionless, seemingly practicing some kind of skill. He couldn't help but wonder if it was some kind of powerful tool for practicing martial arts.

Fang Ming craned his neck to look at the pavilion, and his pupils suddenly contracted. Inside the pavilion was only a small block of tofu, about the size of a palm, with a faint footprint on its snow-white surface.

"???"

Did Lord Shen stand on this tofu the whole time? The tofu didn't spoil even after a whole hour?

To what extent has this mastery of the physical body and internal energy reached?

Fang Ming swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"Lord Shen, are you still human...?"
