Prince? Meng Xing was a little surprised. Why did the prince send someone to follow him?
"Why did the prince ask you to follow me?" Meng Xing asked in a bad tone.
"The prince said to see what you were going to do. Everything you did must be recorded and shown to him," the man said.
What bad thing did the prince secretly want to do? Meng Xing glanced at them and said: "Get out! Follow me again and I will break your dog legs."
"Yes! Yes! I won't dare to do it again!" the man said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The three people quickly got up from the ground and left despite the pain on their bodies.
Meng Xing turned around and continued walking to the Soul Angel Yamen. He soon arrived at the Yamen and walked to his office.
When Zhou Jingyun saw Meng Xing, he said: "Boss, I stared at Prince Kang all day yesterday and gained nothing. However, I did see many servants going out, and some officials came to visit."
"Well! Prince Kang may stay in his own palace, but let his servants do various things for him, so it's okay to keep an eye on his servants doing whatever they want. If there's not enough manpower, send some other people there.
." Meng Xing said.
"Okay. Most of the people who followed us to the Blood Demon Sect last time are in the Yamen. They have gained so many benefits from following you, and since you are temporarily in charge of the Yamen, they will naturally be more convinced of you."
Zhou Jingyun said.
"Then send them there." Meng Xing said.
Zhou Jingyun took the order and left.
Meng Xing stayed in the Yamen for a long time, and when he saw that nothing happened, he left.
Soon after more than ten days, Meng Xing was teleporting back and forth between the two places. He would go back to Jianchi Peak every one or two days, but he still stayed in the capital most of the time.
He is now at the second-level Hedao realm. As long as he practices steadily every day, he will not break through to the first-level realm in a short time.
Another goal is to upgrade the two sets of Jinsha Xuansha Jue and Mu Mian Shengfu to heaven-level skills, and to upgrade the Golden Spirit Vein and Wood Spirit Vein to the second level.
However, it is more difficult to obtain this kind of reward now.
News from the northwest region also continued to spread to the capital. It was said that the barbarians and demon tribes launched a large-scale attack on the northwest area, causing a fierce battle between the Qin army and the barbarians and demon tribes, resulting in countless casualties. Cai Han also personally took action, fighting with the third-level masters of the barbarians and demon tribes.
There was a great battle.
But the front line is not optimistic. The first-grade strongman of the barbarian tribe, Morensala, did not take action, nor did the second-grade strong man of the demon tribe.
The Qin army is fighting hard against the barbarians and monsters, and there is a risk of being breached at any time.
Once the enemy troops move south, the capital will be in danger. The cavalry of the barbarians and monsters will definitely crush them all the way, and they will be unstoppable.
There are also various rumors circulating in the capital, all of which are unfavorable news, causing people to panic.
The current emperor, Emperor Xuanye, finally came out to court and convened hundreds of officials to discuss important matters.
Hundreds of officials discussed it back and forth, talking with foam at the mouth, but there was no conclusion and no way to solve the current problem. It is said that Emperor Xuanye was so angry that he almost lifted the table and scolded the officials.
Meng Xing is only temporarily in charge of the Soul Angel Yamen, and is not an official official, so naturally he does not have to go to court.
On this day, Meng Xing received news that Cai Han fought with the barbarian national counselor Molensala, and was seriously injured by Molensala. The imperial army collapsed and retreated three hundred miles, and Kuizhou fell.
The government and the public were shocked, and people were panicked. The court discussed countermeasures every day, but it failed to come up with a perfect plan, and kept going back and forth every day.
For the imperial court, the biggest problem is that there is no top-notch first-class expert who can resist the barbarian national master.
Many people have already felt desperate, feeling that this time the monsters and barbarians will definitely move south, and no one can resist them.
Cai Han was seriously injured and his life was in danger. This also left the army without anyone to command, and the situation would definitely be even more unbearable.
"Great Qin is in danger!"
"The emperor is so stupid that he practices immortality and Taoism every day and ignores government affairs, and will finally plunge the Qin Dynasty into a place of eternal disaster."
"When everyone sees that the situation is not right, run away quickly, otherwise once the barbarian cavalry goes south, we will die without a burial place."
"The imperial court only focused on quarreling but did not send troops to support it. Does this really mean that the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed?"
There was a lot of discussion in the capital, and many people were very angry when they talked about the affairs of the imperial court.
…
Three days later, Meng Xing received a letter from Cai Han, asking Meng Xing to take some people to the northwest for support.
Meng Xing naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, so he took Zhou Jingyun, Xu Linfeng, Jiang Yiting and more than fifty people from the yamen and headed northwest.
The crowd rode on tall horses and galloped away, traveling day and night.
Five days later, we finally reached the northwest and came to the army.
At this time, the army was exhausted, many people were in ragged clothes, and due to insufficient food supply, many people did not have enough to eat every day, and were so hungry that they looked yellow and thin.
Of the 100,000-strong army, there were only 50,000 to 60,000 men left, most of whom were killed or wounded. There were dead bodies everywhere and rivers of blood.
The entire army was in despair, a shadow shrouded the army, and no one held out hope that they could defeat the barbarian and demon army.
So much so that Meng Xing and others were shocked when they saw this situation.
Is this still an army of the imperial court? It's more like an army of beggars, and it's not far from collapse.
When Zhou Jingyun, Xu Linfeng, Jiang Yiting and others saw this scene, their hearts were filled with tears.
Meng Xing saw Li Mochun and Ding Chuixue. They were a little better and their clothes were relatively neat, but they also had several wounds bandaged on their bodies. Li Mochun had one of his arms hanging on his chest. It was broken and he was recovering from his injuries.
Li Mochun sighed and said: "You are finally here! However, I am afraid it will not help the overall situation. Why hasn't the imperial court sent an army to help? If this continues, everyone will not be able to hold on."
The situation in the court is in chaos. How can the emperor be in the mood to send you an army? Meng Xing thought to himself.
"Where is Governor Cai?" he asked.
"I am resting in the big tent to recuperate. This time the governor is seriously injured and is unable to fight anymore." Li Mochun sighed.
"Take me to see it." Meng Xing said.
Li Mochun, Ding Chuixue and others immediately led Meng Xing and others to the Chinese army's tent, and saw a pale Cai Han, sitting cross-legged and with eyes closed on a wooden platform, doing exercises to heal his injuries.
Cai Han opened his eyes and saw Meng Xing and others, with a smile on his face and said, "Are you here?"
"See the Governor!" Zhou Jingyun, Xu Linfeng and others hurriedly bowed in greeting.
Meng Xing did not have this insight, and just said: "Lord Governor, in this situation, if you call us here, I'm afraid it won't have much effect."
"It is said that last time you went to the Blood Demon Sect and emptied their warehouses. Now the army is short of food. Can you take out the food first? I will return it to you when the court has the food!" Cai Han said.
Yes, it turns out that the role here is to look at my food rather than my talents. Meng Xing complained in his heart.
Meng Xing said succinctly: "Okay."
Then he waved his hand, and bags after bags of food appeared in front of his eyes. In just a dozen breaths, they piled up like a hill two people high.
Everyone was stunned. How much food did you hide?
It seems that the Blood Demon Cult's warehouse was really robbed and emptied out by you. I'm afraid they all regret going to grandma's house. Why did they bother you when they had nothing to do.
Cai Han's eyes brightened and he said, "Bring out some more. Officers, come quickly and move the food, distribute it to everyone, and bury the pot to make rice."
"Yes!" Four or five officers were in high spirits and came over to carry the food with beams of joy.
