I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Nightfall in the border areas is always much later than in the imperial capital. While the imperial capital is still singing and dancing, night falls on the border between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom.

Only faint fireflies can be seen flying around among the barren weeds. People can occasionally hear a few cicadas chirping. As for frogs, they cannot hear them because in the border area between Dazhou and Yan, due to the climate, Drought makes it impossible to grow rice.

However, there are people who grow watermelons. The deserts in the border areas are suitable for watermelon cultivation. At this moment, in a vast watermelon field, several hawks came out of their comfortable holes under the moonlight and began to eat watermelons.

Suddenly, a cockroach suddenly pricked up its ears, and then quickly rushed into the nearest hole as if its feet were greased with oil. The other Yuans also panicked at this moment and got into the cave one after another because they noticed the unusual movement coming from nearby.

After the group of turtles slipped back to their nest, dozens of figures appeared. They were wearing raincoats and bamboo hats. They seemed to be walking very slowly, but in fact they were almost flying in the night, floating above the melon field in the blink of an eye. In a matter of seconds, these dozens of figures disappeared at the end of the watermelon field.

There is a shack next to the watermelon field, and it is the owner of the watermelon field. He sat shirtless next to the shack, shaking the cattail leaf fan to ward off the heat and yawning. When dozens of figures passed by his shack, he didn't even notice. Although there was some slight wind noise in his ears, he thought it was the sound of the night breeze, so he didn't even open his eyes.

In fact, of course he was not aware of the existence of these ten people, because these dozens of figures were all top masters in the Grand Master realm, and each of them had extremely good light skills. When they walked through the entire melon field, their toes It never touched the ground.

But if the owner of the melon field saw the presence of these dozens of people, he would definitely ring the string of copper bells on the roof of the melon shed immediately.

He was planting melons on the border between Yan State and Da Zhou, and he also had a special task. He usually kept an eye on suspicious people who crossed the border illegally. Once he found such people, he would ring the bell and take charge of guarding them. The cavalry on the border arrived immediately.

Those copper bells are naturally no ordinary copper bells. They have been injected with true energy and a little spiritual energy. Even if they are far apart, the cavalry can sense them. In the past few years, he has discovered hundreds of illegal immigrants and made a lot of achievements. The size of his melon farm has become larger and larger, and the contribution of these achievements has been huge.

It's a pity that he failed to discover this group of "smugglers" today, this group of "smugglers" from Yan State.

Dozens of top masters at the Grand Master level in the Yan Kingdom were flying at high speed, almost clinging to the ground. In about half a stick of incense, they stopped at the edge of the road. There were corpses everywhere, as well as panicked carriage convoys, and a faint smell of blood floated in the air.

Right in the middle of the convoy, there was a group of wild wolves, eating the corpses on the ground. The eyes of the wild wolves, in the dark night, were like luminous pearls emitting a green brilliance.

"Get out, you beast!" A great master of Yan State hurriedly took action, killing three wild wolves with fierce sword energy, and the rest of the wild wolves fled after hearing the wind.

The Grand Master stared closely at the headless corpse on the ground. At this time, the corpse's chest had been hollowed out by wild wolves, and there were not many internal organs left. However, this corpse made the Grand Master pale in shock and hurriedly squat down. Look on the ground.

After a while, he said with an ashen face: "Jian Shi, he's dead. Before his internal organs were eaten by wild wolves, his head was cut off with a sword."

"Are you sure he is Jianshi? Jianshi is the tenth member of the Sword Furnace, and his swordsmanship is superb. Among us, no one has more attainments in swordsmanship than him. Jianshi was decapitated. This is incredible." "Old man. That’s right. I participated in the battle during the Sword Furnace siege. You see, the tattoo on his arm is very clear. The grand master explained to the remaining companions.

"That might just be an ordinary Sword Furnace disciple. It doesn't prove that he is Jian Shi. I just looked at the head next to him, and it was so badly chewed by wild wolves that it was unrecognizable."

"He must be Sword Ten. You are really confused. Did you see the sword behind him?" The old grand master turned the body over and took off the long sword from his back. In the silvery moonlight, the long sword seemed to absorb the moonlight and glow dimly.

"Oh my God, this is the top ten famous swords of our Yan Kingdom, the Qinghuang Sword!"

"Jian Shi is the old grand master of our Yan country. He is super powerful. Who killed him? He didn't even have time to pull out the Green Phoenix Sword, and his head was chopped off with a sword. Was he attacked by someone secretly? , didn’t have time to react, or was the person who killed him strong enough to kill him instantly?”

"Sneak attack? He is a grand master like us. How could he be attacked by someone without noticing? The killer's realm is very high, probably the perfect realm of a grand master."

"Let's not talk about this for now. In accordance with the agreement with the Crown Princess, we came to the border in advance to greet her. Now that Jian Shi is dead, the Crown Princess may be in trouble."

Dozens of great masters of the Yan Kingdom all looked solemn after confirming the Blue Phoenix Sword. They looked at each other and immediately began to spread out to look for the bodies on the ground.

"Ah! Ah!" After a while, one of the grand masters suddenly roared, and the other grand masters quickly gathered around him. They looked at a bloody corpse on the ground and were stunned. The body was lying on the ground, and its clothes were torn, but that cold side face was recognized by everyone present. It was none other than the Crown Princess of the Yan Kingdom, the real person in power in the Yan Kingdom, Zhu Feng!

"The Crown Princess was killed! Ah! Who is it that dares to kill our Crown Princess of Yan?"

"It must be people from Dazhou. They discovered the identity of the empress and sent people to kill everyone in the convoy to silence them."

"The Zhou people and I will never live together! It's so cruel, so cruel. They killed the empress and even cut off a whole piece of skin from her back. They took her life and desecrated her body. , damn it!”

"Everyone, calm down. I think there is something fishy about this matter. If the Zhou people really wanted to kill people and silence them, why didn't they destroy the bodies and eliminate the traces, but left these evidences for us to discover?"

"Perhaps Jiang Linglong deliberately left it for us to see, making us mistakenly think that she did not do it. Finally, she explained that it was done by bandits on the border, so that she could completely remove all the blame!"

"The empress treats us well. Let's send her body back first. After the funeral, we will settle the score with Da Zhou!" (End of Chapter)
