The cold wind was blowing, the reed flowers were fluttering, and a group of people and horses were walking hard against the cold wind on the endless plain.

"It's so cold, I don't know when we will be able to tell you!" At this time, a soldier said with a wave of his hands.

"It's not far away. We should reach Yuguan City in two days!" the young man sitting on the horse said with a stern expression.

After hearing the young man's words, the soldiers around him seemed to be motivated, and they straightened up and faced the wind.

But at this time, the young man was a little worried, "I don't know if Dongfang and Zi Yan have arrived!"

This team was Dongfang Yan's group who were going to Yuguan City to pay homage to Ba Tian. Because the journey was relatively far, they set off half a month in advance.

Dugu Zhan and Zi Yan set out earlier, firstly to find Zi Yan's master Mu Qing, and secondly to enter Yuguan City in advance to inquire about the situation in the city and help Dongfang Yan make a frontline stand.

Batian, the king of Luyang, controls a large area of ​​land in the west. However, due to geographical environment problems, there are only five human cities on this land, so Batian is eager to expand his territory so that he can have enough capital in the future.

Dongfang Yan's false surrender this time is not foolproof, because Ba Tian is said to be moody, and Dongfang Yan's in-depth exploration may be dangerous.

As he got closer and closer to Yuguan City, Dongfang Yan felt more and more uncomfortable, because he really couldn't do such a humiliating thing.

Fortunately, when they set out, Yun Lan specially found a sociable official to accompany them, so that Dongfang Yan didn't need to do anything against his will and could just go through the motions.

Yuguan City is bustling with traffic and extremely lively, which has not been reduced by half because of the weather. The market here is similar to that in the mainland, but it has strong local characteristics.

At this time, a young woman looked at the agate jewelry on the street and immediately liked it. She couldn't help but said to the young man next to her: "Dugu Zhan, pay!"

These are Dugu Zhan and Zi Yan who came to Yuguan City in advance. They have been looking for clues about Mu Qing and inquiring about things in the Luyang Palace these days.

"I asked you to calm down and stop buying whatever you see." Duguzhan said helplessly, holding a package in each hand.

"Pay quickly, this is the last one!" Zi Yan turned around and left impatiently.

At this time, the stall owner stared closely at Dugu Zhan, fearing that he would run away without paying the bill.

Dugu Zhan could only frown as he watched Zi Yan disappear, then quickly paid the bill and quickly chased after her.

When Dugu Zhan finally caught up with Zi Yan, he heard the girl say she was hungry, so the two of them walked towards the nearest tavern.

There were many people in the hotel at this time, and Dugu Zhan and the two found an empty seat and sat down. At this time, the sound from the next table caught Dugu Zhan's attention, and he couldn't help but listen attentively.

"I heard that many noble people came to celebrate King Luyang's birthday this time!" A middle-aged man said curiously.

"Hey, of course, our current status as King of Luyang can be said to be lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people, so naturally many people are fawning over us!" Another fat man said after drinking a glass of wine.

At this time, a slightly younger man sitting opposite the fat man suddenly said mysteriously: "You know, this time even people from the imperial capital came."

"Are all the people from the Imperial Capital here?" the other two people said in surprise.

"Yes, my brother works for the Prince of Luyang. He told me when he came home yesterday!" the young man said in a low voice.

At this time, Dugu Zhan and Zi Yan couldn't help but look at each other, and then their faces showed worry. They couldn't help but think that the people from the imperial capital were probably sent by the imperial power, but why did they come all the way here? Absolutely

It's not as simple as wishing you a happy birthday.

After a hurried meal, the two returned to their residence, and then analyzed in the room the purpose of the people sent here by the government.

"Old thief Yin definitely has bad intentions. His birthday wishes this time are probably to win over Ba Tian!" Zi Yan said.

"That's for sure, but why should we choose this force that is farthest away from him to win over? Is it just to let Batian deal with Yunhai City? This may not be a bit of a fuss!" Dugu Zhan said with a frown.

"It's a bit unreasonable. Is there any other conspiracy? This old thief never does business at a loss. It seems that we have to investigate carefully." Zi Yan said while playing with the agate bracelet in her hand.

"Let's see. I'll go to Luyang Prince's Mansion tonight to investigate and see if I can find any clues!" Dugu Zhan suddenly said.

"No, the Luyang Palace is heavily guarded. Legend has it that Ba Tian is also a highly skilled person. You are too dangerous!" Zi Yan objected.

"Don't worry, I am sensible and only check from the outside!" Dugu Zhan said.

The moonlight at night was blocked by a thin layer of clouds, emitting a hazy light. The cold wind blew through the treetops, causing the sleeping birds in the nest to make low sounds!

At this time, a black shadow quickly passed over the wall and landed gently on the grass in the courtyard. Through the dim moonlight, one could see the cold steel knives on the patrolling soldiers around.

The person who came was Dugu Zhan. He carefully looked at the movement around him and found that he was not noticed, so he quickly moved his body towards the depths of the yard.

This is still just a separate courtyard of King Luyang, but the guards here still stand three steps, one station, five steps and one post, and each of them is not an ordinary soldier. They all have a certain level of cultivation.

The reason why Dugu Zhan came here was because people from the Imperial Capital lived here, so he wanted to find out who all came from the Imperial Capital.

The hazy moonlight shrouded the entire yard in a pink atmosphere, making it look extremely dreamy.

Duguzhan stepped on the void and landed on a house silently, then he held his breath and listened to the movement below.

At this time, the voices of two men came from the room, "Master Li, what the Prime Minister asked us to talk to Ba Tian this time must not be leaked, otherwise our lives will be at stake!"

"Don't worry! Mr. Wang, I know the pros and cons of this, but I just don't know...!"

At this moment, Dugu Zhan suddenly felt a powerful aura coming towards him, which immediately made his whole body tense up. The body-protecting energy rushed out of his body and automatically formed a protective shield.

It was just the palpitating feeling that made him have to leave here quickly and fly out of the other courtyard.

But just after Dugu Zhan flew over the courtyard wall, a force of energy suddenly hit his back from behind.

Dugu Zhan suddenly turned sharply in the air, and quickly made several palm prints with both hands, heading towards the energy. However, the incoming energy quickly broke through Dugu Zhan's palm prints, and still headed towards Dugu Zhan.

Dugu Zhan was shocked in his heart and immediately activated the "Thousands of Thunder Tribulation" mental technique. A thunder pool flashed with dazzling golden light and hit the rushing energy.

Suddenly, muffled thunder rolled in the sky, and lightning struck the powerful energy one after another. The thunder pool was also buzzing with the vibration of the powerful energy, but in the end, it did not break through the barrier of the thunder pool.

At this time, Dugu Zhan did not dare to stay and quickly disappeared into the darkness, but a surprised voice came from a house in the other courtyard, "Interesting, he actually escaped!"

At this time, the soldiers in the other courtyard were also alarmed by the movement just now. They just heard the rolling thunder and golden lightning and cursed in confusion: "Damn it, why is there thunder in the middle of winter!"

Cursed and walked away.

In an inn, Dugu Zhan sat at the table with lingering fear, while Zi Yan frowned and said: "It seems that Yin Yuquan is well prepared, and there are experts accompanying him!"

"Well, the atmosphere I felt in Luyang Prince's Mansion is a bit familiar!" Dugu Zhan couldn't help but frowned.

"Now it seems that we have to be prepared. Ba Tian may have been persuaded by the people in the imperial capital." Zi Yan said.
Chapter completed!
