Empress' Conquest

This kind of fumigant grass is the easiest to ignite. Normally, if a person marches in an emergency or is ordered by a troop of soldiers from a hundred miles away, they would ignite this grass and use the smoke as a signal!" However, this grass can be easily burned or destroyed, and it will usually be extinguished after just a few steps! " "Zheng Kui took the smoked grass from Chu Jian's hand and spoke in confusion. The fire from yesterday was extremely stubborn. Aside from watering it with water, no other method is feasible!

"That's because of the pungent smell of the lavender! "It looks like sulfur, but there's a slight difference!" Shui Ruo Han pulled out a stalk from Zheng Kui's hand and said indifferently!

What Shui Han said was also what everyone was thinking

"I think they must have done something to the smoked grass, not only with sulphur but with something flammable! Now the fire had been found! The problem was the truth! We shouldn't have been so careless. They were digging underground and we weren't alerted at all! " Xu Bixuan turned to look at the tunnel!

"When this subordinate entered, it was difficult for the space inside to accommodate one person. If they were to dig the tunnel, it shouldn't be a lot of people!" Chu Jian replied truthfully!

"Maybe we should dig one out each," said Yin Yuerong. She could easily order someone to burn every inch of land in the area. Indeed! Every place that was on fire had the same tunnel! Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They had no idea how such a small tunnel, which was only big enough for one person, could be dug out from the Pingquan! This was not something that could be done in a day or two! Moreover, when they wanted to find out the origin of the underground tunnel, they would often find that the tunnel had been blocked off when they were half a mile away!

"Your Majesty! The difficulty of digging this kind of tunnel is extremely high. Even if we use the same method to dig towards Pingquan, it will still take at least three months! If Tie Yi was to say that he already predicted such a thing would happen three months ago, it would truly be unbelievable! " Zheng Kui couldn't help but shake his head. He was at a loss for what to do!

"Even Yuerong thinks that this tunnel is a little strange!" Looking at the entrance of the tunnel, it was impossible to straighten one's back! Even if they dug the tunnel, how could they set fire to it? According to Shui Ruo Han's description, there was no one there! They couldn't even see his hand. Then, how did they do it?

"Your Majesty! General Xia Hou Ming Xuan led a hundred thousand men and horses out of the army camp! I am now looking forward to paying my respects to the Emperor! " A guard suddenly ran over!

"Invite him in quickly!" There was a trace of surprise in Leng Ao's eyes, but they quickly regained their composure!

"Ah, this is not the time! If today, the Redbud Army camp was to be reopened! Zheng Kui said worriedly. Right now, the morale of the troops was already unstable. If something like this were to happen again, it would be difficult to fight this war.

"We can only let General Jing know the truth and take extra precautions!" Leng Ao Tian heaved a sigh of relief! At this moment, a person in armor came walking over. What followed was an imposing manner that could make a mountain fall!

The person walking towards them gave Leng AoTian and the others a huge shock.

His stature was magnificent, his skin bronze, his facial features distinct and deep, his meticulous actions impeccable like cast stone. Under his blade-like brows, his dark eagle-like deep icy eyes appeared wild and unruly, charming and sexy. Under his tall nose, his thin lips emitted a cold, arrogant and domineering aura.

Yin Yuerong's heart couldn't help but tremble. This man was moving like the wind, and every step she took was filled with power. The domineering aura he exuded was no less than that of the cold arrogant one, and her charm was no less than that of Shui Ruo Han's.

"Commander Da Jing has led Xia Hou Mingxuan to pay his respects to the King of Shu!" His voice was loud but not deafening. His expression was humble but not humble. His actions were domineering but not arrogant! Every move he made was perfect! Everyone present couldn't help but praise him!

"General!" I, Leng Ao Tian, am extremely grateful. I should have let the General rest for a while, but the army camp was ambushed yesterday, I did not think that the Great Jing Army would be ambushed like you, so I specially invited the General to come forward to understand the situation and to discuss how to deal with it! " Although it was his first time meeting him, but towards Xia Hou Ming Xuan, Leng Ao Tian had a good impression of him!

"Since King Shu has considered Zhou Quan, Ming Xuan will naturally carry out his orders!" Xia Hou Ming's icy eyes turned and saw the burn marks on the ground. He had already guessed that someone had attacked from the back!

Please take a look, General Xia," Yin Yuerong said indifferently, pointing at the tunnel beside her. Xia Hou Mingxuan couldn't help but turn to Yin Yuerong with her gaze following the sound of the bell. The hair on her head tilted, and her face was like a dewy dew that had bloomed with water. With this single glance, Xia Hou Mingxuan's eyes froze for a moment before he turned to Yin Yuerong and pointed back at the tunnel.

"This is!" As Xia Hou Mingxuan approached Yin Yuerong, a delicate fragrance filled his heart!

"Yesterday, there was a fire in the camp, and the fire was big. The place of fire is not connected, so we can't rule out the possibility that someone purposely set fire to it, and of course, being able to set it alight in a place with no one around is not the doing of a traitor. Thus, today's investigation, see the way here!" Thus, the Emperor's intention was to prevent the Redbud Army from suffering the same surprise attack, and to request the General to deploy everything! "Be more alert!" Yin Yuerong's words were simple and concise, making everything clear in just a few sentences. Such expression was truly admirable!

Xia Hou Mingxuan's sword-like eyebrows creased slightly. Her eyes were as cold as ice as she jumped into the tunnel and stuck her head in! Outside the cave, Yin Yuerong and the others were waiting quietly. Chu Jian had entered the cave before, so she didn't have any expectations. However, she had a good impression of Xia Hou Mingxuan's seriousness!

After waiting for about an hour, everyone finally saw Xia Hou Mingxuan's figure. Not only that, but Xia Hou Mingxuan was holding a strange blade in his hand!

When Xia Hou Mingxuan jumped up and landed on the ground, he placed the sharp blade in his hand in the middle. The blade, with its round body, easy to grasp and turn, the wooden handle can prevent sweat from slipping off from the hands. Both sides of the blade and both sides of the blade, the blade face is big, a small blade is flat and sharp, the back of the blade is slightly arched!

"Reporting to Lord Shu, this blade is called 'Twisting Earth Cut'. It is a necessary weapon to practice the Earth Disappearing Technique!" When Xia Hou Ming said this, everyone was shocked!

Escape technique? In the past, before he took over the position of the Nether Cult's Sect Leader, he had to cultivate several of the Nether Cult's secret manuals in seclusion, and one of them was named Earth Escape Technique. At that time, because he had to dig in the ground, he loved to be clean and clean, even when his father was the previous Sect Leader, he didn't nod his head. I didn't expect that someone really knew how to learn this Earth Disappearing Technique …

"What is Earth Escape Technique?" Yin Yuerong looked at Xia Hou Mingxuan with a puzzled expression, lightly opening her cherry lips …

"The so-called Earth Escape Technique, as its name implies, is to walk on the ground as if it were flat ground! Those who had mastered it would not only be able to stay in the ground for a day and a night without breathing in, they would also be able to travel hundreds of miles in a day! That is to say, the speed at which he pouted his soil is beyond our imagination! " Xia Hou Mingxuan continued after he flipped over the 'Spinning Earth Slash'.

"But their hands aren't made of steel, so this' Twisting Earth Slash 'became a necessity when they were trying to escape! And not just one! On average, he would need three for every 100 miles. If he succeeded, he would also need two! From the looks of this' Revolving Earth Slash ', this person should have practiced the Earth Disappearing Technique to the point of being pure blue in fire. Those with this level of attainment can be counted on one hand in the martial arts world! " Xia Hou Ming's words gave everyone a lot of insight. Since they found the source of the problem, then it was time to figure out how to solve it.

Shui Ruo Han picked up her 'Rotary Earth Slash' and flipped it left and right a few times, then said:

"Is there really someone who practices this kind of martial arts?" In my impression, this kind of Earth Escape Technique is extremely difficult to learn! There were eight people who would give up halfway, because the feeling of being trapped in the ground shouldn't be comfortable, right? "In any case, when he saw the hole, he had rejected it without even thinking. Therefore, he would never be able to taste that feeling in his life! Of course, he didn't want to try it either!

"That's right!" Eight out of ten, but there are two people who can still achieve success! As far as I know, one of them is the 'Cold faced Ghost Hand' Yang Fu. This man is sinister and cunning, only for profit. "In recent years, even though he has amassed a large amount of wealth and done some legitimate business, if it's profitable, it's not impossible for him to return to his old business!" Xia Hou Ming's face was solemn!

"What about the other one?" Yin Yuerong couldn't help but ask.

"The other is called 'Laughing Yan Luo' Du Qian! This person was Yang Fu's senior brother. He was magnanimous, upright, and righteous. Three years ago, he had been ambushed by Yang Fu and had his legs crippled. Afterwards, he had gone into seclusion! No one knew where he was! This is because the Dao here must be done by Yang Fu! " The words of Xia Hou Ming Xuan caused everyone to be secretly depressed. Yang Fu was so skilled with his Earth Escape Technique. They originally thought that Du Qian would be able to resolve this crisis, but who would have thought that this person would be ambushed by Yang Fu!

Yue Rong thinks that although it is a pity to cripple Du Qian's legs, it is still worth it for him to be crippled. Yue Rong has never cultivated martial arts, she already knows that no matter how powerful the martial arts is, they have their weakness. Even if we cannot get Du Qian to come out personally, but if we can find out from his mouth the weakness of the Earth Escape Technique, we can still deal with Yang Fu! Yin Yuerong's words had awoken the dreamer. The hopes of the masses had been revived, but Du Qian had already gone into seclusion. Where could they find him?!

"There's no time to lose. I'll send out a secret order and search for him everywhere!" Shui Ruo Han swore to capture this Yang Fu and burn his silk clothes, he deserved death!

"Brother Shui, please hold on. The secret location of Du Qian is not something that ordinary people can find! Of course, Ming Xuan had no other intentions. With regards to the strength of the Nether Sect, Ming Xuan had never doubted it. "Shui Ruo Han couldn't help but turn around and look at Xia Hou Mingxuan with a trace of shock in her eyes.

"Then what does Brother Xia Hou think?" Shui Ruo Han's thin lips curled up into a smile. He suddenly had a favorable impression of this Xia Hou Xuan! From the moment he left with Murong Che until now, Shui Ruo Han had felt that this trip was worth it. Not only did she recognize Godly Doctor Luo Jinye, the King of Shu, Leng AoTian, but she even met Xia Hou Mingxuan, who had entered his eyes! Mm, I'll definitely have a good chat with this person when I get the chance …

Xia Hou Ming Xuan respectfully bowed his head with his thin lips slightly parted.

"One of the reasons why Du Qian is called 'Laughing Yanluo' is because his place of residence is not above ground level and he never leaves the mansion!"

"He lives underground? There's even a mansion?! " Xu Bixuan blurted out in surprise, "What a weirdo!"

"That's right!" This is why I didn't let Brother Shui search for me. Secondly, his temper is eccentric, especially after he was murdered by Yang Fu. Not to mention entering his mansion, even if they were here, if they were in a bad mood, they would still die. "A hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Hou Ming's eyes.

Xia Hou Ming Xuan's words made everyone feel slightly horrified, such people were truly rare in this world!

"Yuerong, can you tell me how General Xia Hou knew all this?" Yin Yuerong's cherry lips were as soft as the sound of nature. Xia Hou Mingxuan couldn't help but turn to Yin Yuerong, who was standing beside him. Her thin lips slightly pursed as she helplessly opened her mouth …

"Because I'm Du Qian's nephew!" With this said, everyone began to hiss. Luckily, it was still the same! It was a good thing that they had this relationship!

"In that case, I beg of the general!" As Leng Ao Tian spoke, Xia Hou Ming Xuan clenched his fists!

"Since King Jing has sent Ming Xuan to assist us, Ming Xuan will do his best. Otherwise, he won't reveal the relationship between Ming Xuan and Du Qian! However, even though Du Qian was Uncle Ming Xuan, this matter was still of great service to the Emperor. Ming Xuan hoped that the Emperor would send an envoy to accompany him! The condition is that this person must have a noble identity and does not know any martial arts! " The fact that Xia Hou Ming Xuan had volunteered made Leng Ao and Tian Xin grateful, but it wasn't easy to find an envoy!

"Why don't you know martial arts?" Zheng Kui asked in confusion!

"Because no matter how long a martial artist takes, their body will form an aura different from ordinary people. And my uncle is very sensitive to this aura, so perhaps before we even arrive at his mansion, he will already be dead! "As for the honor, it's because Uncle has a lot of face. If it wasn't for that, Yang Fu wouldn't have been able to make it back then!" Xia Hou Ming explained it clearly, and everyone looked at each other in dismay!

"Then I'll go," Xu Bixuan walked closer to Xia Hou Ming Xuan. Leng Ao Tian's heart shook. She definitely could not let Bi Xuan go with him for such a risky matter. Just as she was about to stop her, Xia Hou Ming Xuan smiled and said!
