Chapter 921: Rescue Luo Qingyi

After dinner, go online.

"Shua~~"

The first time I went online, a ringing sound passed by my ear, and a task suddenly arrived——

"Ding!"

System prompt: The NPC [Luo Qingyi] you are guarding is about to face danger. Do you want to accept the trigger mission [Rescue Luo Qingyi] (sss level ★★★) immediately?

…

Luo Qingyi is in danger! ?

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately confirmed accepting the mission. The next moment, the mission appeared in the task bar, but after I clicked on it, it went blank. It didn't even show where Luo Qingyi was. Maybe he was still in the palace, so I teleported immediately. Head to Xingqi City.

The thunder that broke the wind turned into a thunder and passed through the imperial garden. When I arrived at Luo Qingyi's residence, a Longxiang cavalry said respectfully: "My lord, you are finally here!"

"Did something happen to the princess?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"No……"

He shook his head, confused, and said: "Princess Qingyi is fine, but something happened to the patrol commander Wei Chihong from Bailu City. It is said that he was assassinated on the way to Qingshan Town. He was under the command of Duke Xingchu General, no one thought that such a famous general would suddenly fall."

"What about the princess?"

"The princess led the cavalry to the place where Lord Yuchihong was assassinated. She wanted to find out who assassinated Lord Yuchihong."

"Understood, I'll go find her right now."

"Sir, be careful, beware of those hiding in the dark."

"Know!"

…

With a tug on the reins, he rushed out of the imperial city with the Wind-Breaking Thunder. He opened the big map. The top showed that Qingshan Town was within the super-large map controlled by Xingqi City. It was about 20 minutes away from Xingqi City. , located in a deserted area between Xingqi City and Julu City.

The wind-breaking thunder was extremely fast, with a wind-breaking effect every two minutes. It rushed as much as 500 yards. Nearly twenty minutes later, it was close to the legendary Qingshan Town, but it was already close to night and it was about to become foggy. , the vision became extremely poor. As I was galloping, I heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a cavalryman galloped towards me: "Who is it?"

"People from the Dragon Realm."

I stepped forward and took a look. He was wearing the badge of the Golden Cavalry Regiment and was an NPC from Julu City. So I asked, "I am Ding Muchen. Where is Princess Qingyi?"

"It turns out it's you, my lord..." He galloped forward and said, "The princess is looking for clues at the place where Lord Yuchihong was assassinated. If you want to find the princess, my subordinates can lead you."

"Good work!"

"Let's go!"

He turned around and rode away, speeding along an almost invisible path outside the town. The ground was wet and overgrown with weeds, covering more than half of the path. After about three minutes of speeding, the road ahead appeared. Shadowy figures appeared at the foot of the mountain, and some people had already raised torches. They were members of the Longxiang Cavalry Regiment, and Luo Qingyi was wearing a battle robe and standing under an ancient tree.

"Princess Princess!"

I galloped over, directly mounted my mark, and stepped on the wet grass with my Dark Dragon boots. I frowned and said, "You are indeed here. I was worried that something happened to you!"

"I'm fine."

Luo Qingyi looked at me with her beautiful eyes and said, "But... Lord Yuchihong and more than a hundred knights from Bailu City have..."

"Your Majesty, please express your condolences..."

I walked forward and walked into the jungle under the leadership of Luo Qingyi. I saw corpses of patrol knights scattered everywhere in the jungle. They were all killed in extremely tragic ways. Some had their heads cut off with sharp weapons, while others were stabbed with sharp blades. It pierced the heart, and there were stumps of limbs and broken bodies everywhere, and even the blood had not yet dried up. Under the protection of the crowd, a general wearing an admiral's uniform fell under the tree, dead.

Is this Yu Chihong?

I leaned in and took a closer look. This was a general who looked very steady and composed. The lines on his face seemed to be carved by a knife, showing perseverance, but his eyes were closed, and blood was flowing from his mouth, completely soaking the three gold stars on his collar. His right hand was cut off, and his left hand held a sword. He did not give up the fight before he died, but the real fatal wound was on his chest. A cone-shaped wound caused a fist-sized wound, directly damaging Yu Chihong's heart. Pierced.

Luo Qingyi clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly, and said: "Master Yuchi once taught me martial arts, but I didn't expect that he would die tragically here. This damn murderer... I will definitely cut him into pieces!"

I frowned and said, "It seems we can't tell who the murderer is yet. Princess, I'm not sure about one thing. Since Lord Yuchihong is from White Deer City, how could he appear in Julu City and Xingqi?" The boundary of the city is completely unrelated to Bailu City. Could it be that it is performing some kind of mission? "

Luo Qingyi's delicate body trembled slightly, and she looked at me with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said: "The Qingshan Town area is rich in spiritual stones, which are one of the cultivation consumables. More than half of the empire's spiritual stones are produced here, so the Xia clan has been young over the years. Half of the spiritual power absorbed by a generation of cultivators came from here. This morning, His Majesty ordered Lord Yuchihong to inspect the Lingshi Factory in Qingshan Town, so..."

"So that's it..."

I took a deep breath and looked around again, only to find that Yuchihong was pushed all the way to the tree and killed with one blow. There were two types of footprints left on the ground, one that matched Yuchihong's combat boots, and the other It is a footprint divided into three parts. The footprints are deep, nearly half as deep as Yu Chihong's footprints.

"Could it be..."

Luo Qingyi pursed her red lips and also discovered my discovery. Following the footprints, she found that the owner of the footprints went straight to the direction of Qingshan Town after assassinating Yuchi Hong. Suddenly, Luo Qingyi's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent: "Is this person in Qingshan Town?"

"It may not be one person."

I shook my head and said, "If it is one person who can wipe out an entire cavalry squad, then this person's strength is too terrifying. I'm afraid he is not inferior to you, right?"

"In any case, we must check in Qingshan Town today!"

"Yes."

...

Night falls.

There were dim lights in the town. When we arrived at Qingshan Town, we heard the laughter of travelers and drunkards in the tavern in the distance, and the sound of "ding-dong-dong" came from the Lingshi workshop in the distance. A servant pointed to a building called "Red Dragon Tavern" in the distance and said, "Princess, we have booked all the rooms on the second and third floors of this hotel. Can you rest here today?"

"Okay."

Luo Qingyi nodded gently and said to me, "Ding Muchen, stay here today."

"Okay."

After tying the war horses behind the tavern, a group of Longxiang cavalrymen camped in the open space of the town and cooked. Only a small number of elite soldiers followed Luo Qingyi. After all, there were many people and noisy places like this, and nothing could be found out if the momentum was too loud.

After settling down, Luo Qingyi took me to the first floor of the tavern. I saw a jubilant scene. Many travelers and mercenaries who went into the mountains to collect spiritual stones were drinking and eating here. Some rough mercenaries even hugged the maid's waist and held her on their legs and touched her all over. It was a mess. There were all kinds of people.

Sitting down at a table by the window, Luo Qingyi said calmly: "Two glasses of beer, two coarse breads."

"Yes, coming right up!"

Soon after, the food and drinks were served. I took a look at my hunger value, which was only 79%. I didn't need to eat anything for the time being. But since Luo Qingyi was treating me, I ate a little bit, tearing the bread into my mouth bit by bit. As for the beer, the feeling of drinking it was not much different from beer, but the taste was a little stronger.

After waiting for a while, there was a sound of a door being pushed open, and then a man wearing a bamboo hat walked in, threw the money bag on the table, and several shining gold coins fell out, shocking a group of mercenaries. The man took off his bamboo hat, revealing an ordinary face, and said with a smile: "Call the boss."

"Okay... okay..."

The waiter's eyes were also straight, and he immediately called the boss.

"This guest, what do you need?" The boss looked flattering.

"Call all the women in your Fire Dragon Tavern, I want them all tonight!"

"..."

The boss was stunned.

The man immediately threw the gold coins out, which landed directly in the boss's arms, and said, "Isn't it enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough..."

The boss smiled and said, "It's just that this distinguished guest, all the rooms upstairs in the tavern are full, so... you have to take these * to other places to enjoy them."

"I know, please."

Not long after, a total of four maids came forward and sat next to the "distinguished guest", some of whom were quite pretty.

"Let's go!"

The man put on a bamboo hat, and two of them hugged the maids and pushed the door open.

...

"There's something wrong with this man, follow him."

Luo Qingyi's beautiful eyes were alert, and she grabbed the long sword on the table and rushed out.

I hurriedly followed her out of the tavern. In the middle of the night, there was no one on the street, and the fog covered the entire town. Luo Qingyi chased for nearly a mile and came directly to the outside of the town. In the fog, a man stood, raised his bamboo hat with his hand, and looked at Luo Qingyi with a pair of playful eyes.

He suddenly pushed the maids in his arms out, licked his lips with his tongue, and grinned: "These vulgar women are meaningless. The woman I really want to enjoy is you, the lord of Julu City, the daughter of Luo Ning-Luo Qingyi!"

"Clang!"

Luo Qingyi drew her sword directly.

And at this moment, I also realized that this person's eyes looked a little familiar. Wasn't he the one who wanted to touch Luo Qingyi in the side hall that night?

"Swish!"

Luo Qingyi stabbed out with a sword, and the dimensional storm around her was fierce!

But the man seemed even more manic. He suddenly raised his hand and pulled out a weapon behind him. It was a cone-shaped weapon. He grinned at the corner of his mouth, and wisps of flames surged all over his body. He suddenly hit Luo Qingyi's sword with a sweeping flame!

"Bang--"

With a loud bang, Luo Qingyi retreated quickly, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. It was unbelievable that she was crushed in strength with just one blow!
