"Could it be that this snake has really become a spirit through cultivation?"

The imperial guard frowned and glanced at Dongfang Ce suspiciously.

"No matter what it is, even if it is a snake spirit, we will shoot it into snake meat soup."

A guard turned around, laughed, and looked at Dongfang Ce with admiration.

"As soon as the general takes action, any evildoer will have no escape."[

"Okay, everyone, clean up and go back. You are exhausted from dealing with this snake these days. Go home and have a good rest."

Dongfang Ce stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and told his subordinates to collect their troops and go home.

After receiving Dongfang Ce's order, everyone happily shouldered their bows and arrows and turned to leave.

Dongfang Ce looked at the river soaked with blood, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. His body felt slightly cold, and he felt an inexplicable sense of loss and sadness.

He should be happy after killing the big snake, but why did he feel a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if something important had left him.

At noon the next day, Qingfu did not come back from the palace.

Dongfang Ce knew that it was Qiqi's birthday yesterday, so he approved Qingfu's leave and asked her to go out of the palace to celebrate Dongfang Ce's birthday.

Qingfu originally promised that she would come back in the evening, but who knew that Qingfu did not come back that night.

Qiqi thought that Dongfang Ce had left Qingfu overnight in the general's mansion, and didn't take it to heart. However, until this morning, Qingfu was nowhere to be seen, and Qiqi couldn't help but become suspicious.

Qingfu's personality was not that of a girl like this, so she felt a little worried, so she sent Yuntao to check at the palace gate to see if Dongfang Ce was on duty today.

When it was approaching noon, Yuntao Fang came back from the news.

"How's it going? Have you seen General Dongfang?"

Qiqi looked at Yuntao with a questioning expression.

Yuntao shook his head and sighed: "I asked the guards and General Dongfang was not on duty today. But I heard from them that General Dongfang led his troops to patrol outside the city last night, as if he wanted to catch something.

thing."

"Patrol outside the city to catch things?"

Qiqi frowned in confusion, "Can you make it clearer?"
