The leather scroll is blurry and has no text label, but after Wang Xuan deduced the fragments of the Hunyuan Refining Technique, he still didn't know what was going on.

That concubine was ordered by the fish demon, and must have been coerced by a ghost fetus in an attempt to inherit the royal family.

The young man seemed to be cowardly and unstable at first glance, so he naturally became the first choice target. However, he didn't expect that the little wolf would bite if he got ruthless.

Tu Su Ziming was just bad luck.

And the young prince didn't expect that after killing his concubine, there were accomplices outside, so he was naturally in a state of confusion.

"Captain Wang, this..."

While Wang Xuan was meditating, the crown prince Duguyu was already staring at the scroll, his eyes uncertain, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"oh."

Wang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he handed the scroll over, "This is a broken visualization diagram, and its origin is unknown. Your Majesty, let's take a look. Is it lost in the palace?"

Dugu Yu took it and breathed a sigh of relief, "It is indeed lost from the palace. Although it is broken, it is a relic of an old friend. My father often sees things and misses people, so he cherishes them very much..."

"The prince values ​​love and justice."

Wang Xuan also nodded in praise, then looked at the body of the fish demon and said coldly: "Your Majesty, just now this demon has admitted that he sneaked into the palace and killed the prince's beloved concubine!"

"Is this happening?!"

The crown prince, Duguyu, was shocked at first, and then stared at the fish demon's body fiercely, "Fortunately, Wang Duwei killed this demon and avenged the palace."

After saying that, he cupped his hands to Tu Su Ziyuan next to him and said: "Master Tu Su, please forgive me. The palace has wronged Brother Zi Ming. I will come to apologize and compensate you one day."

Tu Su Ziyuan also looked calm, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, just find out the real culprit..."

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, all very satisfied.

Wang Xuan's heart moved slightly, and he handed over the waist tag found on the catfish spirit, "Your Majesty, this demonic illusion is amazing. I'm afraid it has a lot of background. Can Your Majesty recognize this thing?"

The Crown Prince Duguyu took the belt card with a solemn expression, and frowned slightly after examining it carefully, "I've never seen it before. Do you have any clues about Mr. Tu Su?"

Tu Su Ziyuan also looked at it and shook his head slightly.

Dugu Yu looked at the waist tag thoughtfully, "It seems that my palace has been targeted. Can Captain Wang give this thing to me? I will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of it."

"certainly."

Wang Xuan nodded and didn't care.

The Middle-earth continent is vast, and there are countless human-monsters and various secret societies. Who knows which wilderness mountain they come from, it has nothing to do with him.

Tonight's Hunyuan Refining Technique alone was a surprise.

Of course, other trophies of the fish demon cannot be missed either.

The curved flying sword is made of amazing materials and has extraordinary power. It can be given as a gift after being reshaped.

After all, flying swords take a long time to refine. Although he has seen too many of them, they are a killing weapon for monks.

Then he opened the skin bag again.

I saw that it was filled with a lot of sand, and there was something the size of a palm, similar to a clam, lying in the middle.

The appearance of this little thing is astonishing. Not only is its outer shell shimmering and ever-changing, but even the surface of the exposed soft flesh is covered with a layer of fine scales, just like dragon scales.

As if disturbed by his evil energy, the soft flesh immediately retracted into its shell.

Wang Xuan took it out and with a shake of his hand, the shell instantly spurted out a ball of sand. The surrounding light and shadow immediately changed, flowers, birds, fish and insects appeared, and the water rippled.

"Huh?"

Wang Xuan found it interesting and shook it again.

The shells sprayed out sand at the same time, but this time they turned into poisonous spiders and sand scorpions as big as wheels, with ferocious and lifelike fangs, crawling around on the ground...

Duguyu's eyes lit up when he saw it, "Is this...a dragon mirage?"

Wang Xuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this a sand mirage?"

"Captain Wang doesn't know something."

Duguyu stared at the shell and said: "Sand mirages are not uncommon, but those with true dragon blood can transform into mirages. Deep in the East China Sea, there are huge waves, and there are often strange mirages. Rumor has it that mirages are the cause of trouble."

"There is a rumor among desert swordsmen that a dragon mirage can be born from a sand mirage if it is created by heaven and earth. Although I don't know whether the rumor is true or not, this object is a treasure of illusion. No wonder the fish demon has amazing illusion skills. It turns out he borrowed this object

The power of..."

Wang Xuan suddenly realized and shook the dragon mirage again.

puff…

This time, the dragon mirage seemed to be deflated, spurting out a ball of colorful spiritual energy, and the soft flesh drooped out of the shell.

Dugu Yu quickly said: "Master Wang, please stop shaking it. This thing is still young. It must have been overdrawn by the fish demon just now. It would be a pity to die."

Wang Xuan quickly stuffed it into a sandbag.

Such a rare spiritual beast is rare, especially one that can perform illusions. It is a perfect gift for my wife to play with.

After a search, no clues were found. Several internal guards picked up the body of the fish demon and followed everyone back to the palace.

At this time, the palace was still brightly lit.

Dugu Yu and his men left in a hurry, apparently to return their orders to the King of Qinzhou.

Tu Su Ziyuan also held up his hands and said in a deep voice: "Captain Wang, I must leave immediately and rush back to the mountain city."

Wang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you need help?"

Tu Su Ziyuan's eyes flashed, "No need, the knot in this matter is all in the Prince of Qin's Palace. I will rush back to the mountain city to arrange it, and I will start immediately when the news from the Prince's Palace comes out."

"Selling the family's heritage and harming fellow clan members, even Ancestor Lie will not let them go. Let's see who dares to protect them!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Looking at the opponent's back, Wang Xuan shook his head slightly.

He is not optimistic about the action of killing Su Ziyuan, not because he underestimates the opponent's methods, but because of the entangled interests and complicated relationships of a family like this that has existed for thousands of years.

Some things have penetrated deep into my bones.

If you move, your muscles and bones will be damaged, your family will be in turmoil, and it may even be overthrown. Not everyone has the courage to reform themselves and rebuild their vitality. Most of them are just paper makers.

Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Wang Xuan turned around and returned to the small courtyard. Seeing Mo Qingrou still waiting for him under the candlelight, a warmth surged in his heart, "Rou'er, I brought you an interesting thing..."

At the same time, the crown prince Duguyu also hurriedly came to the back house, presented the body of the fish demon, the refining diagram, and the waist badge, and after narrating the story, he bowed his head and remained silent.

"Xiao Qi is not that stupid..."

The King of Qinzhou looked at the broken refining diagram in his hand and said, "If the complete refining diagram is stolen, everyone in the palace will be in trouble."

Dugu Yu also nodded and said: "Wang Xuan got it first. The boy looked at his expression and didn't notice anything strange."

The King of Qinzhou sighed, "Let this matter go now and ask the servants not to mention it again. Tomorrow we will release the news that the monster who harmed the royal concubine has been killed."

"Also, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven. Let Xiao Qi go to practice cultivation and find a manor to retire. He will not take a single step in this life."

"Yes, father."

Dugu Yu trembled and slightly arched his hands.

He had watched that brother grow up. He had a cowardly character and often followed the older brother behind him.

But there is no way, this matter is too big, if the ancestral temple knows...

Thinking of this, Dugu Yu hated the monster even more and said coldly: "Father, who did this monster do? Why did it focus on my Qinzhou Palace?"

"Why?"

The King of Qinzhou snorted coldly: "Qinzhou is located in the western border and is blocked by several mountains. Information is blocked, so it naturally becomes a target for monsters."

"In the final analysis, our palace is still weak. Wang Xuan has promised to distribute grain at a fair price, and with the cooperation of the Tu Su family, prices will definitely be stabilized. If this is done, I will have the confidence to speak for my father and mobilize more royal experts.

."

"Qinzhou is the western border. If the human race is unified in the future, there will be ghosts and ice barbarians in the north and south, and the sea is too dangerous, Qinzhou will be the key point for expansion."

"My father has laid a good foundation for you. Whether my lineage can prosper or not depends entirely on you..."

The crown prince Duguyu quickly handed over his hand: "I will live up to my father's high hopes!"

The King of Qinzhou nodded, picked up the waist card again, looked at the carved dragon curve on it, and said thoughtfully: "This thing... even my father has never seen it. I will send someone to investigate secretly. You can handle tomorrow's banquet."

That’s it.”

"Yes, father."

…

The next day, heavy snow fell in the sky again.

Wang Xuan got up very early and sat alone in his study to read the letter. Although the two places were separated, the military situation in Bingzhou had not been interrupted.

Generally speaking, it's nothing important.

Now that the Beginning of Winter has passed, Yong'an is peaceful and peaceful, the people are preparing New Year's goods, and the temples and halls in the city are bustling with activity.

After the heavy snow closed the mountains, Qinzhou's trade routes were temporarily interrupted, so the government army took this opportunity to train new tactics.
To be continued...
