"Your Highness, it's bad, our people were attacked in Daguanhai."

"Not only the Vulcan Camp, but also the Polu Guards of Western Shu were discovered. Most of the twenty-three warships have been burned."

"Your Highness, this place is dangerous. Please return to Dafeng City before making a decision."

At Feiyun Ferry, Cao Yunlan listened to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy expression.

"Who gave them the courage?" Cao Yunlan said these words from between his teeth with a pale face.

"Let the guards at the ferry go to the sea area where the accident occurred. No matter what the cost, they must block the Vulcan Camp and the Polu Guards. I will contact the emperor immediately and reinforcements will arrive soon."

As soon as Cao Yunlan gave the order, the surrounding guards were surprised.

Without the guards, if an assassin suddenly appears, no one can bear the responsibility if something happens to the eldest princess.

"Your Highness, you must not do this. There have been a lot of activities in Qiuhong Tavern recently, especially actions targeting you..."

Cao Yunlan was the apple of the eye of this generation of Wei emperors. Not only was he outstanding in talent, but he was also an expert in managing the country.

There are even rumors that the emperor has considered giving up the throne to this eldest princess who is only twenty years old.

If this is true, then Cao Yunlan will become the first queen of the Wei Dynasty in its 300,000-year history.

Moreover, this time escorting the returning merchant ships, which was related to the rise and fall of Wei's national power, was also done by Cao Yunlan.

It can be seen that the rumors of giving up the throne to her may not be groundless.

"That's enough!" Cao Yunlan interrupted his subordinates and said in a solemn tone: "Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders and immediately send the guards to the sea area where the incident occurred."

"Yes!" The soldier could only obey the order helplessly.

Qiuhong Tavern is one of the most notorious killer organizations in the Tianhuang Continent.

This organization is extremely mysterious and dares to take on any job.

He killed the royal family, princes and ministers at the top, and killed traffickers and common people at the bottom. As long as he had money to make, he would do anything.

And so far, there has been no mission failure in Qiuhong Tavern.

There are rumors recently that someone spent nearly 10 million high-grade spiritual stones to buy Cao Yunlan's head at Qiuhong Tavern. It is hard to tell whether it is true or false.

The ferry guards were quickly transferred to support the area where the incident occurred.

Only Cao Yunlan and the female officer were left standing on the dock.

"Brother Huang's White Ling Army is stationed in Dafeng City. It will take at most two hours to arrive. I hope I can make it in time!"

Cao Yunlan looked at the vast sea full of sorrow.

"Your Highness..." The female officer next to her opened her mouth, but hesitated.

"Qing'er, just tell me if you have anything to say!" Cao Yunlan frowned slightly.

The female officer took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "That subordinate is offended."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reinforcements will probably not come. He is eager for something to happen to the merchant ship this time. Even if we can barely save the caravan, we will not return to Dadu alive."

"What did you say?" Cao Yunlan was furious and yelled: "Shangguan Qing, do you know the consequences of such disrespectful words!"

Shangguan Qing was unmoved and shook her head gently: "The route and time of the caravan's return, as well as the ferry where it stops, are top secrets. No one except the royal family will know."

"It's not surprising to you. How did the Vulcan Camp and Polu Guards locate here accurately?"

"His Royal Highness has been ridiculous these past few years. Your Majesty has long been thinking about it. You are in the limelight and rumors are spreading around the outside world."

"This return trip should have been an opportunity for the prince to show his performance, but His Majesty asked you to take charge of this matter..."

Shangguan Qing did not continue. She knew that the eldest princess was a smart person, but she still had a glimmer of light in her heart.

However, regarding the royal family, leaving this little light in my heart would be a disaster.

Cao Yunlan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and finally he sighed deeply, "If the emperor really does this..."

"Your Highness, this attack is not aimed at the caravan. The caravan is guarded by monks from the Annihilation Realm. Unless the Vulcan Camp and the Polu Guards fight for their wealth, it is impossible to cause a devastating blow to the caravan."

"Da Wu and Xi Shu are not stupid enough yet, we should leave." Shangguan Qing looked at the empty dock and said worriedly.

"Pa bang bang..."

At this time, a burst of applause sounded.

"I didn't expect that at such a young age, Mr. Shangguan can look forward and backward when doing things. It's really rare."

As the voice fell, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the pier.

The man looked to be in his forties. He was wearing coarse linen clothes and had deep wrinkles on his face. He looked like a commoner living on the street.

The man was very tall, but he was as tall as a bamboo pole, with a sallow complexion and a skinny appearance that looked like he was malnourished.

The man held two bloody human heads in his hand and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is really a golden branch. Your father actually sent two dead soldiers of the Dao First Realm to guard your surroundings."

Cao Yunlan's face turned pale. She knew about the dead soldiers, but she had never seen them before.

Now, these two dead warriors of the Dao First Realm actually died like this without causing any commotion.

"Bai Qi!"

Shangguan Qing was shocked when she saw the man.

Bai Qi, the seventh-ranked killer in Qiuhong Tavern.

This is also the only name of the Qiuhong Tavern killer that can be found.

Three years ago, the old Sword Emperor of Western Shu suddenly died suddenly, and it was said that he died at the hands of this person.

Shangguan Qing shook his hand lightly, and a magical weapon that looked like a judge's pen appeared in his hand.

She stood in front of Cao Yunlan, her tone was not as calm as before, and she said anxiously: "Your Highness, I will stop him, you go and join the main force."

In this situation, it was impossible to get out of the dock. They could only run towards the sea and join the large army, so as to have a chance of survival.

Cao Yunlan pulled Shangguan Qing behind him.

Shangguan Qing is a civil servant, but he is only in the Eighth Realm. When facing this god of death, it is not enough to put a gap in his teeth.

"Bai Qi, how about a business deal?" Cao Yunlan has returned to his usual cold demeanor.

"Oh?" Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh: "Your Highness, do you want to pay double the price to buy back your life?"

"I'll pay ten times as much!" Cao Yunlan said calmly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are rich and powerful." Bai Qi couldn't help but beam with joy, "If it's ten times that, it would be 100 million high-grade spiritual stones. As far as I know, the annual output of your three spiritual veins in Wei Dynasty is only this amount. !”

Cao Yunlan's eyes were cold. It seemed that the rumor that someone offered tens of millions of spiritual stones to buy his head was not false.

"The Wei Dynasty has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, and this spiritual stone can still be produced." Cao Yunlan stabilized his mind and tried to be calm.

"It's really exciting. This is as much as my income in a century." Bai Qi started to calculate with some embarrassment.

"Qing'er, wait a minute while I hold him back. You can find a way to return to Dadu as soon as possible and report this matter to your father." Cao Yunlan's voice rang in Shangguan Qing's heart.
