Chapter 142 What are you worried about?
After saying that, he continued to walk forward slowly.
However, just as they entered the secret passage, a figure flashed into the room they had been hiding in like a ghost. It was Jiang Chen. Her eyes scanned the empty room sharply, her face betraying no disappointment. Instead, her gaze finally settled on the teapot, its fire blazing brightly and steam rising from its spout.
"Oh? A secret passage?" Jiang Chen murmured softly, his lips curled up slightly, as if he had already seen through everything. You know, her skills are numerous and exquisite, and she has even dabbled in profound and obscure knowledge such as Qimen Bagua. Finding a secret passage hidden in the dark is a piece of cake for her.
Surprisingly, faced with such readily available clues, Jiang Chen didn't immediately begin searching for the secret passage's entrance. Instead, she casually pulled out several delicately folded yellow paper figurines from her bosom, then tossed them carelessly to the ground with a flick of her wrist. Then, like a phantom, she vanished without a trace!
Suddenly, a loud bang erupted, as deafening as thunder from the sky. Instantly, the entire room was swept by an incredibly powerful shockwave, the resounding noise instantly drowning out the terrified cries of the Ye family.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Jiang Chen's graceful figure reappeared. She gently raised her delicate hand and brushed off the dust clinging to her sleeve. Then, her beautiful eyes shifted slightly, fixed on the secret passageway revealed by the explosion.
"Can you escape?" Jiang Chen's voice exploded like thunder, and her figure disappeared from the spot in an instant like a ghost.
"Brother Ye, hurry up! I always feel like there are eyes staring at us from behind, and I feel like there are thorns in my back!" Xia Dong looked at Ye Tao anxiously, who was not in a hurry, and urged him helplessly.
"Haha...don't worry..." Before Ye Tao finished speaking, he felt a gust of cold wind whistling past.
"What are you worried about?" A sudden female voice, like the cry of a nightingale, suddenly sounded in front of the two of them.
"Who?" Xia Dong was so scared that his whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and he asked in a panic.
"Prince Qin's Mansion! Jiang Chen!" Jiang Chen answered casually while gracefully fiddling with her silky hair, as if everything was under her control.
"You...how could you be so fast!" Ye Tao pointed at Jiang Chen, his face full of astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost, and stepped back in disbelief.
"Old man, you talk too much." Jiang Chen obviously did not intend to answer his question. He just saw her slender jade hand like white jade gently clapping forward, and a palm force as strong as Mount Tai pressing down on an egg pressed towards the two of them like a tidal wave.
The two of them flew backwards like kites with broken strings, and the blood that came out of their mouths was like red plum blossoms blooming in the air.
"Done!" Jiang Chen clapped his hands, smiled, grabbed the two men by the collars and took them back to the Ye family.
The Xia family also performed this act. Li Cunli of Tongwenguan led the team personally and their efficiency was surprisingly high.
"Your Highness, the army of King Beiliang has entered Southern Xinjiang and will arrive at Shenjiang Province tomorrow." Jing Xinmo ran to report as soon as he received the news.
"Haha, Ruyan's dowry?" Li Xingyun smiled and didn't care much about it.
"How many people are there?" Li Xingyun meant to ask how many people were killed along the way.
After all, it is such a long journey, and it is impossible for all 100,000 soldiers to make it alive.
"There were about 8 people, and they were harassed by many bandits on the way, resulting in heavy casualties." Jing Xinmo continued to explain.
"Well, give it to Ruyan when they come." Li Xingyun continued to give instructions.
Li Xingyun plans to build different armies according to the major forces.
The Qi Army of Huanyinfang, the Jin Army of Tongwenguan, the Ghost-faced Army of Xuanming Sect, and the Bad People's Army are being built. These four armies are enough for the time being.
"Send people into the Sky Burial Area. After we take control of the Southern Frontier, we will take action against them." Li Xingyun looked up at the sky with deep eyes.
As long as there are enough manpower and money, it is easy to recruit more soldiers. Li Xingyun can already foresee how an army composed entirely of masters will sweep away everything!
"Yes, Your Highness." Jing Xinmo exited the study. He also had a mission. Although there were not many strongholds in Shenjiang Province, there were more than 20 of them, large and small!
With the many actions of the Qin Palace, a piece of news began to spread in Shenjiang Province.
Three days later, at the execution ground, the direct descendants of the Ye, Xia, and Tang families will be publicly executed to avenge the people!!!
The next day, a group of special people came from Shangjiang Province. The leader was dressed in Taoist robes and looked very immortal. He was followed by more than a dozen Taoists dressed in the same way.
"This should be the government office of Shangjiang Province, right?" Xuanxuzi looked at the magnificent government office and asked the people around him with a smile.
"Big Brother, that should be correct." A Taoist priest behind Xuanxuzi responded.
Qingyun Taoist Temple is already on its way to southern Xinjiang. These new generation disciples have arrived first to help Xuanxuzi do things for Li Xingyun, hoping to win his favor.
"Well, let's go in." Xuanxuzi grabbed the cloth bag in his arms, which contained 50 inheritance beads. That is to say, they would only control 50 officials at most this time, and there must be some distinction in the selection of officials.
50 coins may sound like a lot, but Xinjiang Province is not small, with no less than 1000 officials, big and small. 50 coins can only control the leaders of various departments.
Xuanxuzi and others swaggered towards the gate of the government office. As soon as they got close, a man dressed as a constable called out to them.
"Hey! What do you do?"
"Guest official of the Prince of Qin's Palace, I am here to do what you order me to do!" The junior fellow student beside Xuanxuzi immediately stepped forward and took out the Prince of Qin's order that he had prepared in advance.
"His Royal Highness King Qin!"
"Please forgive me, sir. I will report this to the prefect right away!" The constable immediately saluted Xuanxuzi and others, then hurriedly ran into the government office.
The fact that Prince Qin Li Xingyun took over southern Xinjiang might be a secret to ordinary people, but everyone in the imperial court, from the prefect to the ordinary constable, knew about it.
It's no good not knowing! This is their new master. Whether they can continue to work depends on Li Xingyun's opinion!
"Your Excellency the Prefect! Your Excellency the Prefect..." The constable shouted loudly as he ran inside.
