Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Said the voice in the jade piece.

"As I said, you must keep the matter of the spirit command a secret."

"I obey, but Your Majesty..."

"what happened?"

Xia Yuxiao asked.

"Is this true?"

That voice sounded suspicious, but in front of Xia Yuxiao, he restrained his directness as much as possible.

"To be honest, I can't believe it, but now..." She gently clenched the teacup in her hand, "Qin Ji's trust in her is too much, if this goes on, once this matter is Really, not only endangering Qin Ji's safety, but even Daxia's safety may be greatly affected."

"I understand, Your Majesty, I will take care of this matter."

"Don't let him know," she said in a low voice. "After you're done with it, bring him back. Besides, the soldiers he asked Lingyan to transfer, have you seen which one he transferred?"

"..."

"Say."

"Your Majesty, what the Taiwei transferred was a battalion belonging to the Mountain Army."

"Sure enough, both of us are the same kind of people."

Xia Yuxiao let out a long sigh, she was not surprised by this result at all.

.........................

Blood blurred vision.

Qin Ji wiped away the blood covering his right eye, allowing his right eye to recover a little bit of vision.

The handle of the knife was already full of blood, and he slashed with a sharp knife aura, cutting off the bodies of several soldiers in front of him in an instant.

The soft armor was already full of scars at this moment, but beside Qin Ji, there were already layers of corpses lying down.

Jiang Shurou had never seen such a hell.

The man in front of him, who was still polite just now, seemed like a ghost at the moment. Every time he slashed and shot, he went straight to the enemy's life gate.Arms, heads... Broken limbs were sprayed on the ground around him with blood.

She had never seen such a terrifying scene, and she tried her best to hold back the thought of vomiting, but the enemy obviously would not let her go because of her discomfort. A cavalryman noticed Jiang Shurou who was being protected from a distance. , After confirming the importance of this girl, he spurred his horse and charged at her with a spear in his hand!

The tall war horse was rolling towards her, and at the moment when the spear was about to hit her chest, Qin Ji turned his feet and pushed the spear away fiercely. Then, facing the charging horse, he raised his elbow , hit the horse's chest.

Human elbows are extremely destructive to most flesh and blood. Even a slight movement can reach the level of unconsciousness, not to mention that when Qin Ji's aura is activated, it can directly transform into a human body. For a humanoid weapon.The horse that had been elbowed neighed and fell to the ground.

Qin Ji didn't just stop his movements, he picked up the spear that fell on the ground with his toes, held it in his hand, turned around, and stabbed at a cavalry attacking from behind!

The cavalry tumbled, and the horses tumbled.

How many people did he kill?He didn't know that among them, there were several bow and arrow attacks from distant enemies.He blocked all of these attacks.

There are no injuries on his body that affect his actions, but compared to the number of enemies, the situation is still hopeless.

Surrounded by thousands of people, a considerable number of them were mysterious practitioners. Under such circumstances, even Qin Ji, a master honed from the battlefield, had to consider using all his strength.

only......

With Jiang Shurou behind him, he was still reluctant to give up.

This is a talent, if this one dies, Daxia doesn't know how long it will take for another one to appear.At least, if his life is not in danger for a short time, he should try his best to protect her, and once he really uses his full strength, he will definitely get her involved.

"Captain!"

The remaining scale guards gradually changed positions and gathered around Qin Ji. Most of the scale guards who had protected him were now dead or injured. Quantity has an absolute advantage.With such a small number of people, being able to guarantee this little damage under the attack of thousands of people is enough to show its strong ability.

"Protect the captain, and besides..."

A scale guard looked back at Qin Ji and gave him a meaningful look.

Qin Ji understood what he meant.

Jiang Shurou has become a burden to Qin Ji and Linwei. If this burden is discarded next, the worst result will be to use the lives of all Linwei to cover his evacuation.And if he hesitates, he still wants to keep Jiang Shurou...

One can imagine how it will end.

Qin Ji understood this truth. On the battlefield, he had to make similar decisions many times, so this time, he did not hesitate any longer.

For the last time, he looked at Jiang Shurou.Then, he turned his head and ordered to the scale guard:

"Listen to the order, protect me, together..."

"boom!"

Before the words fell, a puff of smoke rose.

All the bones of the affected soldiers were gone, and after the smoke cleared, only a deep pit could be seen.

"Master."

Lingyan stood in front of Qin Ji, panting heavily:

"Come on."

After saying this, before she could stand still, she turned into a stream of black light and plunged into the center of the enemy. In an instant, there was chaos.

PS: Our Xia Yuxiao is not a bad person, but Xia Yuxiao is indeed more ruthless to some extent~

Chapter 39 Decisive handling

Xia Yuxiao held the familiar letter in her hand.

This memorial has now been piled up with the memorials beside her, showing the state of having been read many times.

To be honest, Xia Yuxiao herself couldn't believe the facts in these reports, but the information in all the reports was so consistent and consistent that she really had to suspect that her judgment had gone wrong.

These reports are closely related to the materials about the Demon Cult that the former emperor tried his best to kill.

And these materials are related to that very important person around Qin Ji.

"The remnants of the Demon Cult: Yan."

On that dossier, there are striking big characters.

In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, although the Demon Cult is terrifying, it cannot compete with the huge regular army of Great Xia.The difficult part is that the devil's religion often coerces a large number of ordinary people, and those propaganda methods that seem to allow the people to obtain the benefits they dream of, in fact, the ultimate goal is just one——

Concentrate all the power to cultivate an "extreme profound practitioner".

The Demon Sect sucked nourishment from Daxia's body, devoured the flesh and blood, and then used this sufficient nutrition to do their best to try to bloom a flower, a flower that they could call a "fairy".

The Devil's Cult is not a separate sect. Jinya Sect, Wuwangjiao, Chilianmen, and many other sects all have similar ideas, and Da Xia collectively calls them "Demon Sect".

The eradication of the Demon Cult during the late Emperor’s period was one of the rare wars in the Great Xia that used celestial masters. These members of the Demon Cult actually created a so-called "immortal", that is, their leader, and the price was so tragic that almost It exceeded people's expectations.

The Celestial Master later wiped out all the sects of the Devil's Cult, leading Daxia's army to wipe out almost all hidden dangers.only......

Faced with those children who had endured cruel cultivation methods since childhood, the late emperor still couldn't deal with them.

Although these children were not reused later, Emperor Xian gave them a new start, and most of these children played their respective talents in every corner of Daxia.

One of the most "simple" ones remains.

She is simple because she has the most straightforward mind, no moral concepts, no resistance, and even the most basic expressions are rarely shown.He will accept everything calmly, as if he doesn't care about anything, but he will complete any assigned plans and tasks regardless of the cost.

She is not the best at fighting, but she is the best at completing tasks.

If it is said that what the Demon Cult wants to cultivate is a "flower", a fairy, then this girl named "Yan" is probably the "gardener" that the Demon Cult controls that flower.In other words, the Devil's Cult has trained countless gardeners, and she is just the most talented among them.

Send her to An Guogong's mansion.Rather than saying that this is trust in An Guogong, it is better to say that he threw the hot potato in his arms to An Guogong.

For so many years, the girl who got the surname has been living like this in An Guogong's mansion, but...

Those remnants of the Demon Cult who chose to flee abroad because of the domestic suppression seemed to have reached some kind of cooperation with the church.

They used the reputation of the church to try to return to Daxia, but after the previous war, it became extremely difficult for the church to form enough influence in Daxia.It seems that these remnants of the Devil's Cult really can't wait any longer.

The "flower" has been uprooted before, but the "gardener" is still there. For the current Demon Cult, without flowers, the gardener is enough for them to grow up. They are now relying on the church for development, but the church It can only be regarded as a cooperation of interests with them.

If they are rooted in the church like this, they will be stabbed by the church sooner or later in the future, and everyone in the Devil's Cult is also very clear about this.

So they are eager to contact the "gardeners" who are still in China.

These reports come from Linwei and Suilongwei from all over Daxia.Among the Linwei, Xia Yuxiao did not let Qin Ji manipulate her. In the Linwei, she deliberately arranged for a small number of "herself" who were already in the army.The news passed by these people is not any pointed information, but an objective report of the Devil's Cult's movements.

Although Qin Ji's people will disclose information to Qin Ji, but the disclosure of information is not to report all the details, they will choose potentially important information to report.And the movement of the remnants of the Demon Cult has been reported from the time of the first emperor to the present, and in the eyes of those people, it is not something worth reporting.

However, Xia Yuxiao saw a clue from it.

Lingyan, who was specially trained to check and balance the "immortals", is now controlling Daxia's most important intelligence department, and is getting closer and closer to Daxia's most important courtiers.

Now, contacts from the Devil's Cult are constantly gathering towards Daxia. What makes Xia Yuxiao feel uneasy is that quite a few of these contacts are in a "reply" tone.

In other words, the target they contacted may have already contacted them in advance.

After arriving here, Xia Yuxiao still felt that this was just the enemy's plan to sow discord.Xia Yuxiao is not stupid, she knows Qin Ji very well, he is still very accurate in judging people, after so many years of getting along, it is not possible that even the closest people can't see the thoughts.What's more, so far, Lingyan has indeed not shown any ambitions that are not in line with her identity, except for occasionally doing some outrageous actions for Qin Ji.

Until the last time I went to worship my ancestors.

The ancestors of Daxia rarely "rejected" her.

Worshiping ancestors can only enter without filth.Xia Yuxiao took a bath and fasted for a long time, she should have entered smoothly, but she failed.Out of the importance of worshiping ancestors, she summoned the Tianshi who was in charge of the Tianshi Mansion, and asked the Tianshi to clean up the filth for her.

As a result, the power of the extremely subtle "curse" was swept out.

The chief celestial master attached great importance to it, and immediately brought this trace of cursed power back to the celestial master's mansion.After a long period of secret investigation, the chief celestial master noticed Qin Ji.

The curse on that body was exactly the same source as the trace of the curse found on Xia Yuxiao's body.And there is no doubt that it was precisely because of Xia Yuxiao's contact with Qin Ji that she was a little bit cursed.Moreover, the method of this curse is also recorded in the Tianshi Mansion. It belongs to the category of the complicated curse methods of the Demon Cult.

The Heavenly Master in charge didn't dare to delay this matter, so he directly informed Xia Yuxiao, and Xia Yuxiao also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Qin Ji was cursed, cursing people from the Demon Sect, and currently almost all the remnants of the Demon Sect in Daxia were under surveillance, and none of them were in Tai'an City.

The only remaining possibility emerged, together with the conclusion about the evidence and direction of contact between the Demon Cult and the "Garden"...

1. She is a gardener.

2. Right now, the remnants of the Devil's Cult abroad are trying to communicate with Gardener.

3. She has now mastered the special power of Daxia, and her power and status have been stabilized.

4. She has countless underlings who handle intelligence and covert operations.
