Bonfires were lit in the Stone City, and dim candles illuminated the darkness.
Lan Ting was in front of the dungeon, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
"Report to the general, the entire breeding area and military camp have been searched, and no suspicious person has been found!"
"Look! Look again!"
Lan Ting's eyes were cracked, his whole body was shaking, and his intense anger had him on the verge of losing control.
The general in front of him lowered his eyebrows and walked away quickly, trembling.
For three whole hours, Lan Ting mobilized all his strength to search, but could not find any trace of Ling Xiao!
He sticks to this place in order to shoulder the empire's biggest secret.
Ling Xiao's appearance was like a thorn piercing his heart, making him feel surprised and unable to sleep or eat well!
Not long after, a beautiful figure in colorful clothes came from a distance.
The beauty is dressed in plain clothes, her skin is like gelatin, and her slender jade neck is still as white as jade under the dim bonfire.
The brocade painting has an elegant temperament, an indifferent expression, and a deep charm hidden in the starry eyes.
As the lotus steps moved lightly, the waist that had not been grasped began to twist lightly, making the guards around him look confused.
After a moment, he realized that he had lost his composure and lowered his head in horror, not daring to look any further.
With a solemn expression on his face, Lan Ting quickly stepped forward, bent over and knelt down.
"Lord Shuijun."
Jin Hua glanced at Lan Ting indifferently, walked around him, and silently looked at the dungeon ahead.
You could hear the drop of a needle and there was total silence.
Everyone was breathless, they all knew Jin Hua's purpose here.
Lan Ting took a deep breath, kept kneeling on one knee, and turned around stiffly.
Snap!
With a soft sound, Lan Ting's body was violently slapped hundreds of feet away.
Resisting the twitching of the corners of his lips and the severe pain on his face, Lan Ting staggered to his feet, his expression remained the same, not daring to show any blasphemy.
The corner of Jin Hua's lips raised slightly, and for a moment, he placed one foot on Lan Ting's shoulder.
The beauty bent over and looked at Lan Ting below with disdain.
"General Lan, it's been three hours... Do you have any clues about the unscrupulous people who have sneaked into Stone City?"
Jin Hua's voice was not loud, with a hint of softness.
But this was such a plain sentence, but it made Lan Ting tremble all over and send chills down his spine!
"My subordinates, my subordinates, are... searching with all their strength, I believe, use..."
boom!
There was a loud noise, and Lan Ting's left shoulder bone and spine were suddenly broken, his knees were broken, blood dripped out, and the ground beneath him instantly cracked.
Blood oozed from the corners of Lan Ting's lips, and he suppressed the churning of his inner breath without letting out a single groan of pain.
When many guards on one side saw this, they all looked worried, but they retracted their half step and their right hand that was frozen in the air.
"An all-out search? It won't take long? I remember the crazy woman who broke into this place before. You said the same thing, right?"
"The result? It took you seven days to find her whereabouts!"
Jin Hua raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly. Lan Ting beneath him trembled all over, lowered his head and did not react.
Jin Hua paused and continued, "What's even more ridiculous is that Mo Yu had to take action to force her into the underground palace."
From the beginning to the end of the brocade painting, the tone is calm, the face is smiling, and there is no trace of murderous intention at all.
But her words were like the seductive whispers of an evil ghost, making people fearful.
Lan Ting maintained the courtesy of a courtier, but his face became even more gloomy.
"This matter is due to the negligence and incompetence of my subordinates..."
"That's all,"
Jin Hua slowly moved his right foot away from his shoulder, and gently tucked the black hair on one side behind his ear with her jade fingers.
"Mo Yu has entered the underground palace alone because of that crazy woman. Tomorrow is the day of restarting the sacrifices. At that time, I will also enter the underground palace to assist Mo Yu."
"If that kid has the guts, he will show up. Don't let me down again then. Do you know that Her Majesty the Queen's temper has been particularly bad recently..."
Jin Hua's eyes were sharp and he said with a slight smile.
"No, it won't happen. Lord Shuijun, don't worry!"
Lan Ting nodded in agreement.
"It'd better be that way."
Jin Hua sneered and left slowly.
"Congratulations, Mr. Shuijun!"
Lan Ting and all the guards leaned over to see him off.
It wasn't until Jin Hua's figure disappeared that Lan Ting couldn't help laughing and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"General!"
Countless guards rushed forward and helped him up.
"General, she..."
Lan Ting's eyes narrowed, and the adjutant beside him immediately shut up.
Using his spiritual power to regulate his injuries, Lan Ting took a deep breath and waved to them.
The guards then dispersed.
Under the dim bonfire, Lan Ting's face remained as usual.
But he looked at the direction Jin Hua was leaving and refused to come back to his senses for a long time.
Ling Xiao, who was hiding in the dark, frowned.
Mu Linlang was not only in the underground palace, but was also being hunted by another water commander.
This news undoubtedly adds insult to injury.
But on the other hand, the Shui Jun named Mo Yu obviously came with Jin Hua.
Naturally, they know the dangers of this underground palace better than anyone else, but until today, she has not appeared in the underground palace, or even asked for help, which shows that Mu Linlang is most likely safe.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wrote down the name Mo Yu.
Looking at Jin Hua's retreating figure, Ling Xiao raised the corner of his lips and couldn't help but joke.
"Oh, this Jin Hua has quite a bad temper. If it weren't for the clothes she wore this time, I almost didn't recognize her. This woman is quite good at pretending to be innocent."
Xie Shizi showed contempt on his face, "You are a poor talker. When the scar heals, you forget the pain. When this woman broke three of your ribs, you should have been tougher!"
"Hmph! Man..."
The fairy voice was faint, with disdain in her tone.
Ling Xiao did not argue with them, it was not Jin Hua that concerned him, but Lan Ting!
Even lurking in the dark, Ling Xiao could see the anger and unwillingness hidden deep in his soul from his eyes!
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, Ling Xiao still noticed it.
Obviously, as a peak emperor, Lan Ting has an extremely keen sense of war.
Can
Tian Cang and Shen Zhuan have ceased fighting for a hundred years, and his glory as a military commander has long been forgotten with the passage of time.
That's why Lan Qiyan arranged for him to go to remote Kunshan and let him do such a shameful thing!
Obedience is the nature of a soldier, but he has been bored and angry with this job more than once.
More than once, he has longed to return to the battlefield where he killed the enemy with blood, and more than once, he has wanted to prove himself in the war and defend the territory!
He was born for war, but he had to do it now.
Watch and feed these "beasts" day after day!
Taking a deep breath, Lan Ting regained consciousness and walked out of the breeding area silently.
next day
Everyone in Stone City was extremely busy, not only because of Ling Xiao's intrusion, but more importantly because they wanted to open the altar again!
That’s right!
Turn it on again!
Since the last time Mu Linlang broke in and jumped off the altar, Mo Yushui County has been pursuing her deeply.
They sealed the altar and blocked the entrance to the underground palace.
Now, there is no news about Mo Yu, and there is not much time left. Jin Hua knows it well and cannot delay any longer.
No matter what, today she must restart the altar and go deep into the underground palace!
