Jingzhou was connected to the Tang Empire's Jianzhou.
Yan Bei's young Ming general, Chen Baxian, was stationed here.
Three years ago, Chen Baxian had defeated the famous Turkic general, Li Changgen, and his ten thousand cavalry had penetrated deep into the Turkic territory.
He found Li Changgen's main force in the vast grassland and wiped them out in one fell swoop. He became famous in one battle.
Xu Cheng and Old Wang had come to Jingzhou in name to comfort Chen Baxian's army.
Night fell.
They stayed in an inn in the city.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he circulated his energy to digest the Great Yellow Court.
He was already at the fifth level of the Great Yellow Court. If he reached the sixth level, he wanted to see if he could break the river with a finger.
Swoosh ~
The Network Salamander appeared in the room and bowed to Xu Cheng.""Prince, there are assassins approaching."
"Hand it over. You guys stay in the dark." Xu Cheng said.
The Startling Salamander disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xu Cheng lied on the bed and pretended to sleep. Not long after, a wisp of white smoke drifted in through a hole in the window.
Using poison was really uncreative.
After a while, the door creaked open.
A woman slowly walked over to Xu Cheng's bed and stared at him with a pair of charming eyes.
"Sigh, what a pity. What a good-looking body.”
The woman whispered and pulled out her knife to stab Xu Cheng.
Ding... Ding...
Xu Cheng pinched the tip of the knife with two fingers and broke it.
The woman was shocked and turned to run out of the window.
However, Xu Cheng was faster than her. His sword was already at her neck.
"It's a long night, and a beauty enters my room.”Xu Cheng smiled." Talk?"
The woman turned around. She was wearing a black tight-fitting nightgown that outlined her perfect curves.
Her charming eyes were shy. She was really a charming woman.
"What is your name?" Xu Cheng asked.
"My name is Shu Shuang, Shu as in comfortable, and Shuang as in very cool.”The woman's eyes were seductive.
"Who sent you to kill me?" Xu Cheng continued to ask.
"This is against the rules." Shu Shuang blinked." If I tell you, who will believe me in the future?"”
"It'll be too late if you say anything after I've cut a few cuts on your beautiful face.”Xu Cheng's tone was cold.
She felt a wave of invisible pressure and was annoyed. Wasn't the target a silkpants who only knew three-legged martial arts?
"Actually, I don't know the identity of the employer. A minister from Jingzhou came to find me.”He said comfortably.
Xu Cheng nodded and clapped his hands.
The door was pushed open, and Startling Salamander carried an old man and threw him in front of Xu Cheng.
Shu Shuang was shocked. It was this official.
The old man lay on the ground, shivering. He was quite frightened.
"Who asked you to hire an assassin to kill me?" Xu Cheng asked.”
"Prince, spare my life. It's Lord Zhong from the Provincial Governor's Office.”The old man hurriedly said.
Zhong Zicheng of the Provincial Governor's Office? The son of the cavalry general Zhong Dalong.
Zhong Dalong was one of the few old generals who had followed Xu Yi to war.
Are you forcing me to use you to establish my authority?
Xu Cheng muttered to himself.
"Are you the Prince of Yan Bei?"”
"Isn't the assassin they hired too lousy? You're looking down on me." Xu Cheng glanced at her comfortably and spread his hands.
The Startling Salamander looked at him and said to Xu Cheng,"Prince, this girl has some skills. She took down several of our hidden sentries.”
"It's not that I'm weak, it's that you guys are too strong. I've never failed."
Xu Cheng waved his hand, and the salamander disappeared into the night with the old man.
" I'm willing to join you and die for you." Shu Shuang decisively knelt down before Xu Cheng.”
She was really a woman who judged the situation.
Die for me? Do you believe what you say?
"That depends on what you have.”Xu Tiancheng said.
"I'm in the Whirling Reflection Realm and also know a few finger mystic techniques.”She was comfortable and charming as she said," You Zhan's Charm Technique is better than the courtesans in the brothels. Prince, do you want to try it?"”
Err…
Another day!
"Why should I believe you?" Xu Cheng asked with a smile.
"Because you are the prince. I only want money. Who else in Yan Bei is richer than you?”" So, don't doubt my loyalty. Loyalty to you is loyalty to money. Was there a stronger loyalty than this?”
"That makes sense." Xu Cheng said," Stay next door and follow me from now on."”
"Aren't you going to sleep together? Prince, I…"
"You're too ambitious. I only want to treat you as my retinue. Yet you want to sleep with this prince." Xu Cheng spread his hands." What's wrong? You still want to be the princess consort?"
"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to show that I'm a professional.”He said comfortably.
"Go cool off next door. How can you covet my body?”Xu Cheng pushed her away.
A foxy little fox.
I almost couldn't take it anymore.
The next day.
Xu Cheng woke Old Wang up and wanted to go shopping in the city.
Old Wang said that his sister-in-law was here and wanted to continue drinking and eating at the inn.
"Prince, don't you have a new beauty as your bodyguard? Old Wang is resting today."
"Just drink it. I was almost stabbed to death last night, and you slept like a pig.”
Xu Cheng rolled his eyes and left.
Shu Shuang followed him around the streets of Jingzhou.
"Do you know who is the strongest martial artist in Yan Bei?”Xu Tian asked.
"Yan Bei's martial arts world is relatively weak. There are no outstanding martial arts sects. Therefore, the aristocratic families of Yan Bei have the habit of hiring martial arts experts from the Central Plains. They also secretly compete with each other to see who is more famous.”" The strongest person in Yan Bei's Jianghu should be Duke Xiaoyao of the Xiaoyao Villa. He's at the peak of the Finger Mystic realm.”
After entering Rank-1, martial arts were divided into four realms: Xuan Zhao, Zhi Xuan, Mahayana, land immortal.
A Rank Two Grandmaster could establish a sect in some places. Rank One Grandmasters could be counted on one's fingers, let alone enter the Finger Profound Realm.
"Why are you asking this?" He felt refreshed and curious.
"I'm guessing who will come to assassinate me next.”Xu Cheng said as he walked," The next assassinations will all be Rank One experts. Aren't you worried?”
"If your highness isn't worried, then what is there for me, a retainer, to worry about?”Shu Shuang said matter-of-factly.
Your analysis is pretty f * cking reasonable.
He was not in a hurry to go to Chen Baxian's army. He came to Jingzhou to familiarize himself with Yan Bei's officialdom and army. He wanted to start his idea of transforming Yan Bei here.
On the other hand, it was fishing to attract the assassins and find the person behind the scenes.
He was certain that there was a spy in Yan Bei.
The big fish in the deep waters of Yan Bei's government and military had not bitten the bait yet.
He strolled around the city, but there was no movement at all.
Xu Chenghe entered a restaurant comfortably.
This restaurant was magnificent, and the people who came in and out were all rich people.
After entering the building, the waiter brought the two of them to a table.
Xu Cheng looked up and saw that the shop was filled with luxuriously dressed customers.
There was only one exception.
A Confucian scholar dressed in shabby clothes was slightly drunk.
However, a group of people surrounded him and listened to him speak with great interest.
"Yan Bei is a bitter and cold place. The wine here is like a knife in the mouth and a fire in the stomach.”
"The Central Plains, the land of Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice. As for wine, it's clear and long.”
"Compared to that, I prefer Yan Bei's wine.”
Xu Cheng knew this person, but he didn't expect to meet him here.
The mad man in the north of Yan State, Song Yin.
Zhangsun Wuji praised him for his talent as prime minister.
