Three hundred and fortieth eight chapters back to the palace
After the eldest son of the Shen family finished speaking, the other two eldest sons also spoke out, expressing great admiration for Yan Kangfei.
"In that case, let's get together again after a while, and then I'll treat you to a drink."
Yan Kangfei spoke politely to the other three young men, but the three of them didn't seem to notice that their servant's face was very pale.
"Then go back! When I get out of seclusion, I will treat you to a drink."
After Yan Kangfei finished speaking, he led everyone back towards Diancang Town.
The other three young men didn't say anything more, and just asked a few servants to carry them back, and they all went back to Diancang Town.
"Three brothers, we say goodbye. We'll see each other again for a year. I hope you won't be left behind in your cultivation."
Yan Kangfei spoke to the three of them with a tone of reluctance.
"Brother, farewell! I'm going to retreat now. When I come out, I may reach the third level of Qi Refining. For those of us with ordinary spiritual roots, this is already a very fast advancement."
The three of them looked at each other and then spoke.
"Bye now."
After Yan Kangfei finished speaking, he started to return to Yan's house with the servant behind him.
And when he turned around, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. His plan had already begun to be implemented. He would soon absorb and refine the souls of all the people in Diancang Town. By then, he might be able to reach the third level of the foundation building stage.
possible.
"The chess pieces have begun to be laid. Next, we just need to endure it for a while."
Yan Kangfei tilted his lips and said coldly.
Zhuyuan Mountains, where the Yuxu Kingdom’s army is stationed.
Wow——
The person who was practicing cross-legged in the hood was immediately interrupted by the movement and exited the state of cultivation.
"Your Majesty has a decree: to announce that all the disciples who follow the fourth prince will enter the palace~"
As the cloth curtain was opened, a man wearing a Gebu arrow jacket and a gauze hat was seen standing up straight and reciting orders to the four princes' guests inside.
After hearing that it was His Majesty Yuxu's order, everyone was a little reluctant, but they still stopped practicing and knelt on the ground, and then said in unison: "We will receive the order!"
"Everyone, please go back with me! I advise you not to do anything useless, otherwise the family behind you will be wiped out at the least, or the nine clans will be killed at the worst."
The voice of the person reciting the decree has a slightly sharp sound, which sounds like a mixture of male and female voices, just like a sissy voice.
"I don't dare to wait!"
The people kneeling on the ground spoke again, but sweat was dripping from their foreheads, gathering and dripping to the ground.
"Time is pressing, please come!"
The person who read the intention stepped aside to get out of the way and spoke out.
Everyone didn't stop, they went out directly and started to go back.
"Eunuch Zhang, won't you stay and rest for a while before going back?"
A man wearing a suit of armor and a cape came to the side and spoke with a smile on his face.
"General Meng, the Zajia family still needs to take them back to meet His Majesty. As for rest, it's okay to go back and rest again."
When Eunuch Zhang saw that the person coming was the Mongolian army, he explained aloud.
"Since Eunuch Zhang still has something important to do, I won't bother you any more."
When Meng Junshi heard what Eunuch Zhang said, his tone sounded a little regretful.
"I won't disturb General Meng any more. I'll take my leave!"
Eunuch Zhang bowed slightly to the Mongolian army, then got on a sedan chair and followed the few retainers who had followed the fourth prince before.
"General, we still can't find the body of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. Do we still want to look for it again?"
As Eunuch Zhang walked away, a soldier came to the side of Mongolian Army Shi and knelt on the ground with one knee, breathing heavily and reporting.
"No need, I can't find it."
When Mongolian Army Shi heard this report from his soldiers, he waved his hand and said.
"But General, His Majesty's decree..."
The soldier carefully raised his head and asked, with a hesitation in his tone.
"Don't worry about it anymore. I had to do this when Eunuch Zhang was here before, but now..." Meng Junshi said this, his face condensed, and he continued: "The fourth prince is dead now.
For how long, trying to dig three feet into the ground to find him is nothing more than wishful thinking."
After Meng Junshi finished speaking, he snorted lightly, then changed the topic and asked: "How many people were lost on the way to find His Highness the Fourth Prince?"
"Back to the general, because Eunuch Zhang brought very few people and with His Majesty's orders, we dispatched nearly half of our troops to search for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. However, we encountered a stronger monster on the way and lost no less than twenty people.
"
After the soldier finished speaking tremblingly, he could feel that his general's face had become sulky.
"Twenty people?"
Mongolian Army Shi's face was very solemn. He had brought twenty soldiers, and they were his soldiers. Now that he has lost twenty people, no matter what he thinks, it is all his fault.
"What about the people on Eunuch Zhang's side?"
Mongolian Junshi asked again.
"Eunuch Zhang, they, they..."
"explain."
Seeing the soldier reporting like this, the Mongolian army scolded him angrily.
"Back to the general, Eunuch Zhang and the others did not lose a single person, because our soldiers were responsible for sweeping away the monsters in the front. They hid in the back and asked our soldiers to kill the monsters as soon as they saw them, so they suffered losses.
Twenty soldiers."
The soldier who reported the report spoke intermittently.
"That's it, I remember it."
Meng Junshi's face was very solemn, and now he was bursting with murderous aura.
"Go and distribute pensions to these twenty soldiers to their relatives. If their relatives are ordinary people, they will give money. If their relatives are practitioners who can practice, they will give them spiritual stones. No more, no less. I am ashamed of them.
"
With a touch of sadness on his face, Mongolian Jun Shi spoke to the soldier who reported.
"Yes! General!"
The soldier who came to report finished speaking and then retreated.
Looking at the direction in which Eunuch Zhang was leaving, Meng Junshi just looked away, the anger slowly building up on his face, and after a while he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.
To be honest, for him, compared to the lives of the four princes, the lives of his twenty soldiers seemed more important, but the royal family was the foundation, and he, the general, had no choice but to give money to their relatives.
And the spirit stone.
"The beast roars into the sky and there are many enemies. The soldiers on the border are hundreds of miles away to protect them. Those in high positions protect themselves and harm them. I feel very sad!"
Meng Junshi looked up at the mountains and forests not far away, and murmured softly.
These soldiers could be stationed in the Zhuyuan Mountains and were responsible for suppressing the elite elites of the monsters, but they were killed by Eunuch Zhang and the others. Isn't this a sad thing?
Today's Mongolian military ministers have almost no good impression of Eunuch Zhang.
Could it be that the people around him were human beings, but his soldiers were not human beings? Relying on his high position, he ignored his soldiers and allowed them to be killed at will. This made Mongolian Army Shi very angry.
But anger is of no use now. The soldier who reported just now must have waited until they left to report, and they deliberately blocked it.
This was also the point of disagreement between Meng Junshi and Eunuch Zhang.
A few days later, here is the main hall of the Yuxu Kingdom Palace.
"You can tell what you know now. All the civil and military ministers of the entire dynasty are here. If you are found to be lying, the nine tribes will be punished!"
