Fairy stop smoking

Chapter 138 Erosion
After leaving the teahouse, Chai Jiangcui did not go far, but stood quietly at the entrance of an alley.

After waiting for a while, six women in strong clothes approached from the street behind.

These six people are all extraordinary, with thick blood like military monks, but they all carry a dark and cold aura, not as open and closed as the generals defending the city.

Chai Jiangcui turned around slowly and said calmly:

"Several of you have followed me all the way, if you have anything important, just talk about it here?"

Hearing Chai Jiangcui's question, several people looked at each other, and the leading lady bowed slightly forward and said:

"This fairy, the eldest princess welcomes you."

"Princess?"

Chai Jiangcui looked at several people in surprise, when did the eldest princess get involved with herself again?Simply shook his head,
"Sorry, I'm not interested in meeting the eldest princess."

The female officer waved behind her as if she had expected it, and a subordinate handed over the small box in her hand.

When the box was opened, I saw that it was full of neatly stacked middle-grade spirit stones.After a rough look, it can be seen that there must be more than three hundred spirit stones in the box.

"This is a little bit of care from our eldest princess, and I hope you can accept it, fairy."

Feeling the rich aura exuded from the spirit stone, Chai Jiangcui frowned.

Such a large sum of spirit stones is enough to make a monk who transforms Qi move his heart.But unfortunately, this thing doesn't have the slightest attraction to her now.

"The handwriting is not small, but you will not be rewarded for nothing. You should take these spirit stones back yourself."

Rejecting the female officer's invitation again, Chai Jiangcui also understood the purpose of several people.I don't plan to spend any more time with them here.He walked around a few people and prepared to leave the alley.

However, at this moment, a female guard following the female officer suddenly blocked the way.

The female guard stopped Chai Jiangcui, the dagger in her hand trembled slightly, and she said solemnly:

"Fairy, do you really stop thinking about it? According to the laws of the Dayan Kingdom, practitioners cannot take the initiative to reveal their magic skills in front of ordinary people."

Apparently, several people noticed Chai Jiangcui when she rescued the black dog boy.

Hearing the faintly threatening words of the female guard, Chai Jiangcui twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a worried face:
"Why, are you threatening me?"

Seeing this, the female officer on the side knew that the situation was going to be bad.But before she could say any remedial words, an extreme coldness suddenly appeared in her body.

The cold air spread rapidly along the meridians, and all the dantians were frozen together.The female officer just wanted to run the dark energy in her body, but she only felt a sharp pain coming from the meridians, as if the meridians would be shattered if they were forced to run any longer.

She was so frightened that she quickly contracted her dark energy, not daring to act rashly.

"It turned out to be a few guys walking in the shadows. Hehe, next time you go to bribe someone, remember to get someone who can talk."

Ignoring the ugly faces of the six people, Chai Jiang Cui sleeve robe lightly waved, laughed and left and disappeared into the alley.

The Lord has already left, so there is no point in saying anything else.The female officer had no choice but to sneak back and return to her command.

……

At the end of the street, Chai Jiangcui hid in the crowd, looked back at the female officials who hurriedly left, with a hint of cunning in her eyes,
"Since she is in charge of the Enshrining Pavilion, the Eldest Princess must be able to see it too. It is indeed a battle for the throne, and the fight is quite fierce..."

Recalling the weird dagger in the female guard's hand just now, Chai Jiangcui couldn't help but shook her head with a smile.If you want to get her in, this little trick is not enough.

……

In the outer city, in a luxurious manor.The lotus pond is half dry, and the koi swim lightly.In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, a graceful woman in a long white dress is sitting idly by herself.

This person is none other than the ruler of the Enshrinement Pavilion of Dayan Kingdom, the Eldest Princess Li Qinrui.

If it wasn't for the former emperor's ancestral precepts, the power of the worship pavilion should not be used internally, and the power of the eldest princess would definitely be more than what it is now.

It can be said that only relying on an enshrining pavilion that has an empty name but can hardly provide much assistance, the eldest princess's ability to stand up to several crown princes is absolutely inseparable from her own strong ability.

"So, you finally met the female cultivator that the Feng family was looking for, and not only failed to invite you, but also had conflicts with her?"

After listening to the report from her subordinates, the eldest princess looked calm and showed no signs of happiness or anger, and even her tone of voice was still so easy-going.

"This subordinate is incompetent, and I hope the eldest princess will forgive me."

The female official whom Chai Jiangcui had met before knelt on the ground, her face was full of shame.

The eldest princess landed on the chessboard, glanced at the female officer, and said calmly:
"Get up, it's not your fault. I didn't expect that the princess would let Xi Zuo get in with her because she didn't notice for a while. Hmph, after so many years, my eldest brother's methods are still so unrefined."

With just a few words, the eldest princess has already guessed the outline of the matter.

The female guards under her were all specially trained, and it was impossible for her to do such a mindless thing.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qinrui looked at the female officer and said solemnly:

"Now you take down the bad girl guard first, and then carefully check whether there are any spies planted by my elder brother in the team. These little fleas are not very threatening, but they are still quite annoying.

By the way, go and get the Ten Thousand Zai Xuanbing Grass from my treasury, next time you see that fairy again, give it to her together with the spirit stone, it will be regarded as an apology for this offense.

As for other things, don't worry about it for the time being, it's not the time for us to get ahead. "

The meridians of the most trusted female officer are frozen and cannot be recovered within ten days, so this series of arrangements is mainly based on dormancy.

At the same time, Li Qinrui also saw that Chai Jiangcui had no malicious intentions, and he still had some thoughts of soliciting this somewhat mysterious female cultivator.

One piece fell, and black and white fought on the chessboard, but there was no winner yet.

……

It was night, and there was a shocking explosion in the residence of the four princes in the inner city. Accompanied by the violent flames, Wu Dewei quickly sealed off the entire inner city.

The big manhunt continued until dawn, and the martial law in the inner city was not officially lifted until the court meeting was approaching.

The secret library of the fourth prince's mansion was burned, and a large number of secret documents related to officials were burned, among which happened to include the private account book of Feng Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

At the subsequent court meeting, the ministers who supported the second prince quarreled with the generals who were optimistic about the fourth prince. The two sides used the defeat of the Southern Xinjiang as an excuse to blame each other.

Above the court, the two sides argued for more than an hour, but they couldn't decide the winner.On the contrary, several veteran officials who supported the prince seized the opportunity and almost snatched the right to speak of the prince's supervision of the country... The solemn court meeting ended hastily like a farce.

The second prince originally wanted to rely on the Minister of War's clear position to win the support of the other ministers who were waiting and watching.But by coincidence, Feng Yu fell down while changing clothes in front of the court, and he is still unconscious, which made Li Xun very angry.

……

Half a month passed quietly, and the struggle between the several crown princes became more and more obvious.Everyone is busy wooing all parties, talented people and strangers continue to enter the imperial capital, and the battles among practitioners are more frequent.

As for the defeat in Southern Xinjiang, except for the constant prevarication and wrangling, there has been no progress at all.

……

Gyeongju, Yeongya-gun Chaijia
Chai Jian stood in front of the window, with a light armor and a sword on his waist, but he couldn't hide his worry between his brows.

"Husband, do you have to go?"

Sitting kneeling aside, Qing carefully packed the luggage for Chai Jian, the arrogance of the past was no longer on his face, only a deep sense of reluctance remained.

Although she often confronted Mrs. Chen, her feelings for Chai Jian were genuine. As a wife, she naturally didn't want her husband to take risks.

Chai Jian didn't look back, but stared at the fallen leaves of the phoenix tree outside the house, and sighed softly:

"Now the situation in southern Xinjiang is approaching Qingzhou, and there has been no reply from the court. The state pastor ordered us and the county guards to lead the army to gather in the city. It is about my safety in Qingzhou, so I have to go for my husband."

Huzhou and Qingzhou are adjacent to southern Xinjiang. The imperial court's 30 army was defeated. The Wu tribes in southern Xinjiang took advantage of the situation to counterattack. Qingzhou and Huzhou were the first to bear the brunt.

Although Nanjiang fought fiercely with the imperial army for many days, the loss must have been not small, but Chai Jian is still not very optimistic about the current situation.

The 30 regular troops are no match for the Wuman in southern Xinjiang, and they are counting on the patchwork of local city defense forces to resist. This is a gap that anyone can see.

But Chai Jian didn't intend to talk about the internal twists and turns with his family. Talking about it is useless and will only increase their worries.

"Don't worry, it's not like I haven't fought against Wu Man back then. Although my husband's sword has not been drawn for many years, it has not yet reached the point where it will rust."

Chai Jian patted Qing's shoulder, avoiding that worried gaze, took the burden and turned and walked outside the house.

For this hasty expedition, Chai Jian did not inform everyone with much fanfare that all the bulky luggage would be handled by his two regular wives.

Chai Jian didn't even tell about the sons who were useless, because he always felt that it was a bit unlucky to see him off before the war.

Rumble~
The horseshoes galloped, and the [-] city guards and tens of thousands of porters outside the city had assembled. The army followed Chai Jian's guard of honor and headed for Zhennan Pass, the border fortress of Gyeongju.

Smoke and dust billowed all over the official roads, as if heralding the coming storm in Gyeongju.
