The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 514 Going Home
In a hall of the Prince of Yue's Palace.

Yu Jiaolong, Xiao Zhen, Li Muzhi, Old Man Mo, and Bai Qingmeng looked at the sand table in front of them, and the distribution of troops in Lingzhou and Jiangzhou was clear at a glance.

There are many details in it, even the military maps within the Jiangzhou provincial army are not so detailed.

This is also thanks to the Qinglong Society's various strongholds in Jiangzhou, which insist on reporting massive amounts of intelligence to the Prince of Yue's Palace every day.

Over the years, the Qinglong Society grew secretly, and the Prince of Yue's Palace also established an instant messaging network covering the entire Jiangnan region.

The efficiency of intelligence work increased exponentially, resulting in Yu Jiaolong and his men knowing the Jiangzhou provincial army better than even Sun Donglai, the Jiangzhou military commander.

Except for Bai Qingmeng who was still in a trance, the other four people all had solemn expressions.

After looking at the sand table for a while, Yu Jiaolong slowly asked, "Xiao Zhen, how is the Lingzhou defense line being arranged?"

Xiao Zhen immediately replied: "Your Highness, in the past half month, a total of 150,000 soldiers have been dispersed and stationed in Lingzhou in batches, including 20,000 Jiangnan Guards."

He listed every piece of data in detail, and Yu Jiaolong's heavy expression relaxed after hearing it.

Except for the 30,000 Jiangnan Guards who were the private soldiers of the royal palace, the remaining 120,000 troops were dispatched from the Wuzhou and Huzhou provincial armies.

Moreover, it was a secret operation, with thousands of people divided into several teams, and the generals leading the troops were all from the Prince of Yue's Palace.

Soon Xiao Zhen's report came to an end: "In addition to the deployment of 150,000 troops, a Guangze Pagoda has also been built."

At this point he paused, glanced at Bai Qingmeng and continued, "I just don't know about Master Bai..."

Only Bai Qingmeng and Fang Xun, who have practiced "The Twelve Secrets of Bodhisattva", can activate the Guangze Pagoda, and Bai Qingmeng usually looks quiet.

But apart from Fang Xun, even if Yu Jiaolong wanted to assign someone else to do something, she had to use a negotiating tone.

At this moment, Bai Qingmeng's eyes became clear for a moment: "It only takes three days at most to travel from Jianye to Guangze Baoze in Lingzhou."

Yu Jiaolong nodded, and at this time Li Muzhi took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, Dong Yunchuan has already responded. As expected, he said that we are exaggerating."

Yu Jiaolong nodded and was not angry. After noticing the abnormal size of the military force in Zezhou, Xiangxi, she immediately sent a message to Dong Yunchuan in Jiangzhou.

It was just a routine matter, and I didn't expect any good response from the other party.

Then she said to Li Muzhi: "In addition to the Lingzhou front, the rear must also be prepared as soon as possible. At least when something happens, Wuzhou must be brought under the absolute control of the palace as soon as possible."

As they were talking, suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps were heard, and a beautiful figure in bright red walked quickly into the hall. It was Dongfang Que, who was wearing a bright red palace dress.

At this moment, his pretty face was solemn, without his usual sweet smile. When Yu Jiaolong and others saw this, their hearts skipped a beat and they had a bad premonition.

Dongfang Que walked quickly to Yu Jiaolong and said in a heavy tone, "Your Highness, I just received news that Wan Wuya from the Zongrenfu and General Zhenbei Chang Yinghu, two Zhenwu land immortals, died in the West Palace!"

In an instant, Yu Jiaolong and others in the hall changed their expressions. Even Bai Qingmeng came out of his trance-like state, and a hint of nervousness appeared in his clear eyes.

If only two Zhenwu from the imperial court died in West Mansion, they would at most be surprised, but the key point is that Fang Xun was also in West Mansion.

They didn’t know what had happened in Xifu, but Fang Xun was very likely in danger!

Yu Jiaolong and the others had no idea that the other party had already sensed the danger and fled away overnight, and were now almost home.

"What happened in Xifu again? Is Fang Xun okay?"

A clear voice echoed in the hall, the tone was fast and urgent, and it was the usually taciturn Bai Qingmeng who took the initiative to speak.

Yu Jiaolong's face also looked gloomy, her heart in her throat, fearing that something might happen to Fang Xun.

At the same time, she also keenly noticed the hint of nervousness in Bai Qingmeng's eyes, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

But soon, she put it behind her. Now was not the time to think about other things. Fang Xun's safety was the most important.

"Is my husband okay?"

Dongfang Que, with a heavy face, recounted the intelligence that had just been gathered into his hands.

Ye Honglei breaks out of the seal, the Vajra Temple is burned down, the father-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family have an affair and give birth to an immortal child, Xue Linlang becomes a "partner of justice" and fights Ye Honglei to the death
All these major events came out of his mouth one by one. Yu Jiaolong and others were more and more shocked as they listened, and Bai Qingmeng also looked surprised.

The situation in Xifu has been one crisis after another recently.

At the end, Dongfang Que forced a smile and said, "There is no news about Xun'er yet, but no news is also good news. Xun'er is lucky and has a long life, so he shouldn't be in danger." At this moment, Bai Qingmeng's eyes suddenly became smart, and he looked up, his gaze piercing through the layers of ceiling and reaching into the sky.

The next moment, the tension in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

"Fang Xun is back!"

After saying this, the figure disappeared into the hall.

The others were stunned for a moment, but Yu Jiaolong reacted immediately with a look of joy on her face.

"Great, my husband is safe!"

As he spoke, a figure rushed out of the hall and into the courtyard outside.

Bai Qingmeng was seen standing quietly outside the house, looking up at the sky.

The peaceful face was now filled with a smile that made all the other flowers pale in comparison.

When Yu Jiaolong saw this smile, the strange feeling that she had suppressed just now rose up in her heart again.

As a woman, her intuition told her that there was something wrong with Bai Qingmeng's attitude towards Fang Xun, and a sense of crisis suddenly emerged in her heart.

Bai Qingmeng seemed to sense something and turned around to look. The two girls' gazes collided silently in the air, creating a subtle atmosphere.

At this time, Dongfang Que and four others also rushed out of the hall, but did not find anything wrong, but looked up at the sky.

They immediately saw a giant wooden bird slowly descending, and Old Man Mo shouted excitedly, "It's a wooden kite, Fang Xun is back!"

In the sky, Fang Xun also saw familiar faces below and felt a sense of familiarity.

But immediately, seeing Yu Jiaolong and Bai Qingmeng looking at each other, his heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he subconsciously felt something was wrong.

He immediately leaped up and landed steadily in front of the group of people.

At this time, Yu Jiaolong and Bai Qingmeng stopped looking at each other and looked at him.

Bai Qingmeng walked up to him with a smile on her face and said, "You're finally back."

Although the tone was light, everyone could hear the joy in the voice.

Yu Jiaolong also smiled and grabbed Fang Xun's hand: "Husband, I'm glad you're okay."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Qingmeng out of the corner of his eye.

Bai Qingmeng ignored him and just looked at Fang Xun with a smile, placing her slender hand on Fang Xun's left shoulder.

"Fang Xun, you have become stronger again. When will we discuss Taoism again?"

His words seemed to show concern for Fang Xun's progress, but they made Yu Jiaolong feel alarmed.

But she had a smile on her face.

"After learning about what happened in the West Mansion just now, not only Zhao Ning, but everyone else was also very worried. Now that I see my husband has returned safely, I am finally relieved."

As she spoke, her eyes were always on Bai Qingmeng, and her other hand naturally rested on Fang Xun's left shoulder, forcing Bai Qingmeng to retract the hand she had placed earlier.

He reacted immediately, and after realizing something was wrong, he quickly said, "I've been running around for days, and I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to go downstairs and take a rest. It won't be too late to talk about anything later."

After saying that, he wanted to leave this place that made him feel uncomfortable first.

But before he could take a step, Yu Jiaolong took the lead and pulled him out of the yard.

"Husband, Zhaoning will take you to rest."

As the two figures gradually went away, the smile on Bai Qingmeng's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual calmness, and his figure also disappeared in the courtyard.

At this moment, even Dongfang Que and the other three noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two women.

Xiao Zhen and Li Muzhi lowered their heads silently, pretending that they had not seen what had just happened, while Dongfang Que and Old Man Mo looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
