Chapter 84: Princess Di? She is just the young general’s personal master!

Chapter 84: Princess Di? She is just the young general’s personal master!
A team of a hundred puppets walked in the street in an orderly manner.

The friction sound of armor is cold and iron-blooded, yet penetrating enough to shake people's eardrums from a long distance away.

For a moment, everyone present was silent, and they all turned their eyes to the person on horseback who was leading the way.

Bai Yuji felt uncomfortable being stared at: "Isn't it a bit too high-profile?"

Qin Muye smiled and said, "Our strength does not allow us to be low-key!"

Bai Yuji: "..."

To be honest, she was also shocked by this puppet formation just now.

She saw with her own eyes how Qin Muye poured a bowl of blood and made these puppets recognize their master one by one.

However, when Qin Muye manipulated these puppets, there were no obstacles at all.

Controlling a hundred puppets at the same time was obviously beyond her understanding.

It made her feel even more desperate.

If this puppet could become popular, how powerful would the Qian army be?
In addition, the murderer of Luo Qing can almost be identified as Di Ji and the puppet master.

The mere thought of the price of revenge was enough to scare her off.

of course.

She knew that there must be people who were more panicked and shocked than she was.

"Deng deng deng deng..."

An official in charge of the review jumped down from the casting platform and trotted over to greet him: "Shaoqing Qin, Shaoqing Qin!"

Qin Muye corrected him with a serious face: "It's the Deputy Minister! I have to pass this imperial examination to prove to His Majesty that I am worthy of this position!"

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced around.

The time spent on the evil officials on the roof of the teahouse was particularly long.

The demon officials: "..."

This, this is a provocation to us?
Niu Pingtian couldn't hold it in any longer: "Qin kid..."

Qin Muye frowned and said, "Niu Dianke, please refer to your position when you are outside! Also, be more respectful to your superiors. Although I am the acting Shaoqing, I am not someone that some low-ranking officials can offend!"

Niu Pingtian choked and could only grit his teeth and said, "Qin Shaoqing, I know you are eager to become a regular employee, but you can't cheat openly, can you?"

"Cheating? How did I cheat?"

"You are directly controlling hundreds of puppets. No one can believe that there is no trick here! Don't you agree?"

As soon as these words came out.

Nearly a thousand people nearby nodded subconsciously.

Although many of them dislike the evil official, what he said is true.

The examiner also smiled and said, "Qin Shaoqing, today's examination task is quite heavy. Your team is a bit too large. Why don't you just do the examination here?"

"it is good!"

Qin Muye jumped off his horse and asked: "How do you interrogate me?"

Seeing that he cooperated, the examiner finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Come with me!"

Having said that, he pulled Qin Muye aside.

Then he asked, "You should know how to examine puppets, right?"

Qin Muye shook his head: "I haven't reviewed it yet. Please tell me."

The examiner quickly took out a booklet from his pocket and said, "You need to prove that you have control over all the puppets. I know that high-level puppets can act independently, but they can also obey your command. I will flip through the booklet later, and you can give the puppets instructions."

Qin Muye nodded: "No problem!"

The examiner was a little skeptical; he didn't expect him to agree so readily.

Is there really no problem? This is too ridiculous.

He looked around and confirmed that only two people could see the contents of the booklet from this angle, then he randomly opened a page.

next moment.

"Wow..."

All the humanoid puppets raised their right hands, and the crossbow dog also raised its right front hoof.

Inquisitor: “…”

He was a little bit unbelievable and quickly turned another page.

"Wow!"

Still neat and uniform.

I flipped through several pages and there was no problem at all.

He was horrified beyond measure.

Qin Muye smiled and asked, "Is it okay?"

"No problem, no problem!"

"Then help me prove my innocence!"

"No problem at all!"

"But you have to do as I say!"

"..."

The two of them whispered for a while.

The examiner strode to the center of the street and shouted, "These hundred-plus puppets are all controlled by Qin Shaoqing. It has been verified that the puppets produced by the Princess Palace are indeed rare in the world.

There are still a hundred puppets that meet the regulations for sale at the Tianguifang at the end of the street. Their combat power is above the sixth rank. Buying them will definitely be like having divine help. Students who want to buy them can go there now."

Niu Pingtian: “???”

Zheng Wang: “!!!”

Everyone present: "..."

No?

Is it really okay?

If there is no problem, then there is no problem. Why are the goods still sold?
However, this wave of sales is obviously effective.

Many children of wealthy and powerful families have already been tempted. With a combat power of the sixth rank, just a puppet is powerful enough to surpass nearly half of the people taking the imperial examinations.

If I buy a few more...

Even if he is not as good as Qin Muye, he can at least get into the top 100, right?

The imperial examinations of all races are not as good as the literary examinations.

The latter relies purely on academic articles, leaving little room for fraud.

That's why they came to participate in the imperial examination of all races. If they don't use their money ability now, when should they use it?
So the next moment, all the wealthy young men ran to the end of the street.

Tea house roof.

The faces of the demon officials were a little gloomy. There was a puppet team of a hundred people protecting Qin Muye, and the difficulty of clearing him out increased by more than one level.

Zheng Wang smiled and comforted: "It doesn't matter if it does! Judging from the situation, his puppet should be of level six, not particularly strong. As long as everyone works together..."

Qingqiu Mei'er turned and left: "I'll go inform my people."

Niu Pingtian glanced at Qin Muye who was leading the puppet team towards the Weapon Casting Platform, and turned around and left silently.

Several other demon officials also evacuated and notified their subordinates and allies.

……

All the buildings around the Soldiers' Foundry Platform were requisitioned as war preparation areas today, providing a temporary rest area for students who have passed the examination.

Qin Muye and Bai Yuji were assigned to a small courtyard. Because the puppet team took up too much space, there were not many people in the same courtyard.

"Tsk!"

Qin Muye leaned back in his chair comfortably.

Bai Yuji looked at him thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled and asked in a low voice, "There must be something fishy about the puppets sold at Tiankuifang at the end of the street, right?"

Qin Muye looked at her in surprise: "Did you guess all this?"

"Will it self-destruct?"

"That's impossible. Princess Di still has to run a business in the future, and she can't do something that would destroy her reputation."

"That is……"

"The spirit cores of those puppets have been tampered with. A piece of them has been separated out, and can be monitored and eavesdropped by the masters of the Princess Palace. Those who are willing to buy puppets now must be from wealthy families. They will either try their best to find the totem source energy, or they will trip us up. In short, you know..."

"Puch!"

Bai Yuji laughed in silence. She never expected that they could come up with such a sinister trick to make these wealthy families spend a lot of money to buy a traitor.

You know, there are mountains and rivers in the secret realm, even if seven or eight thousand people are thrown in, they will not be conspicuous at all.

Under such conditions, the most important things are intelligence and teamwork.

As a result, once these one hundred or so spies were placed, they became invincible.

But think again.

The princess and the puppet master were the murderers of Luo Qing...

Qin Muye whispered, "Why don't you come find me first after you go in? That way, I'll share any news with you as soon as possible, and it will be easier for you to get the totem energy."

"No need! I have confidence in myself!"

"All right!"

"Oh right! Where is the master from the Emperor's Mansion?"

"I don't know. Li Xingluo said he would come find me when he arrives."

Qin Muye shook his head. In fact, Li Xingluo did not want to be deeply bound to the Qin family, and naturally did not want to interfere in the imperial examinations of all races. However, the emperor manipulated the situation behind the scenes and forced a large puppet order.

Everyone saw that he was carrying the puppet of the Princess Palace, so Li Xingluo had to be bound even if he didn't want to.

So Li Xingluo had no choice but to accept it and discuss countermeasures with "Master Kongxu", thus coming up with the puppet spy plan.

Qin Muye is really tired.

He almost had a split personality because of playing both roles.

However, he did not expect that the Princess Mansion was willing to send an expert to help him, and he did not know what kind of expert they would send.

Just when he was expecting.

An ordinary-looking woman sat next to him.

The woman turned around and said straight to the point, "Prince, the princess sent me here. Take this thing. After we enter the secret realm, we will take care of each other."

Qin Muye took the wooden sign and sniffed it gently. There was a very faint fragrance, which should be something used for tracking.

He turned his head and asked: "What's your name, girl?"

The woman said calmly, "I am a nobody. Your Highness does not need to know my name."

"Oh……"

Qin Muye responded thoughtfully, but his eyes stayed on the woman's head for a long time.

[Main fate: The remnants of destiny]: Destiny is overthrown, and no remains are left.

[Fate Grade]: First Grade (100/5120)

[Annotation]: The chess piece of destiny could be the deciding factor in victory or defeat, but at the final moment of the game, it cut off its own path to becoming an emperor, and burned to the embers of destiny.

[Tip]: When the fate fluctuation exceeds 5000, you can obtain the fate skill "Ashes of Nirvana".

No?

Dude?

Why is your fate the same as Li Xingluo’s?
Qin Muye was also shocked. He didn't expect that Li Xingluo, a princess, would be willing to disguise herself and serve as his personal bodyguard. This was really out of the ordinary.

However... Li Xingluo's fate level seems to have changed.

The last time I saw her, she was still a first-rank official (1/5120), but in the blink of an eye, she has become a first-rank official (100/5120).

So what exactly happened?

Could it be that Li Xingluo’s opportunity is hidden in this secret realm?

But I remember that the Spring Hunting Secret Realm was just a place used by the royal family for spring hunting, and some low-quality spirit beasts were grazing there. Apart from its large area and complex terrain, there was nothing special about it.

Apart from……

Totem source qi?

and many more!

Is she also here for the totem source energy?

If I remember correctly, Li Xingluo practiced both martial arts and Taoism, and could fly freely in the sky without becoming a grandmaster. He did not like horse riding, and his mount was just a fifth-grade spirit horse.

The idea of ​​fighting for totem energy for your own mount is a bit far-fetched.

That is to fight for subordinates who are good at cavalry warfare?
This seems a bit too polite. How could a boss go into a dungeon alone and fight for his life to get mount enhancement stones for his gang members?
And even if that were the case, that fate shouldn't be imposed on Li Xingluo, right?
Is Li Xingluo a half-demon?

Not right either!
Li Xingluo's mother, the former queen, is clearly a human.

Qin Muye couldn't figure it out, so he turned around and asked, "After entering the secret realm, did the girl protect me the whole time?"

Li Xingluo still looked lifeless and autistic: "My lord! The princess only asked me to help you through twelve hours. After the villains dare not act rashly, I have other things to do." As expected, he had to find the totem source of Qi.

Qin Muye wanted to say something, but a bell rang from the direction of the Weapon Casting Platform. Li Xingluo did not hesitate and went straight out of the yard.

He exchanged a glance with Bai Yuji and followed.

……

On the casting platform.

The Minister of the Honglu Temple, who had not been seen for a long time, was reading out the new rules for the imperial examination.

The new rules are very simple. Before entering the secret realm, all candidates will receive a jade token. The jade token can block one fatal attack and will shatter after blocking. The owner of the jade token will then be teleported to a safe zone and will be considered eliminated.

Of course, you can also give up by crushing the jade token, until only a hundred people are left in the secret realm.

The remaining one hundred people will be ranked according to the number of jade plates broken and ferocious beasts hunted. The top twenty-five will be considered as the top three and can be directly appointed as officials. The bottom seventy-five will enter the Imperial Academy to study and can only be appointed as officials after being approved by the master.

As for the totem source energy, it is completely additional content. There is also a fourth-grade ferocious beast guarding nearby. As long as you can snatch the totem source energy from the mouth of the ferocious beast, you can refine it on the spot or take it out without reporting it.

However, the jade tokens are ineffective within one mile of the totem source qi hiding place, and it cannot be monitored from outside, so it is very easy for people to die. It is destined to be out of reach for most people. For them, they only need to survive until the last 100 people.

Bai Yuji whispered, "If you find that the jade token is not working, you must withdraw immediately. Safety is the most important thing."

"Ok!"

Qin Muye looked at her with eyes that seemed to be full of affection, smiled and nodded.

Bai Yuji realized that her gaze was too gentle and quickly looked away.

He took a few deep breaths and secretly said to himself that he must take out the totem source energy.

Some things can be left undone.

But you must be prepared.

This time, perhaps he could rely on Qin Muye to influence the trade share and improve the lives of the Nanzhao survivors.

But this power comes from the emperor and can be taken back at any time.

As for the remnants of Nanzhao, even if they managed to get some things back, they still had to rely on others for support.

She must get the totem source energy.

The first is to refine the holy blood Gu to help himself break through to the master level.

The second is to master the trick that will kill Qin Kaijiang, so that you can have the right to speak in the southwest.

But... do you really have to do the second one?
She closed her eyes and shook her head. Now was not the time to think about anything else. She had to get the totem source energy first before she would be qualified to think about other things.

It was at this time.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The bell on the Weapon Casting Platform rang, and when it rang for the ninth time, a pupil suddenly appeared in the sky, and in an instant it turned into a vortex over a hundred feet in diameter, sucking in the thousands of people carrying jade tokens present.

……

"hiss……"

The world was spinning and Qin Muye made her feel dizzy and her stomach was churning.

After all, my body is still too weak.

I need to save up more attribute points, and when Bai Yuji succeeds and I have to recover, I will immediately fill up my physical strength.

The current inventory of attribute points is still quite lacking.

But it doesn’t matter. Many things cannot change your fate, but the imperial examination can definitely change it.

This time it's time for you to go out and harvest attribute points.

He shook his head, and after a while, his mind became a little clearer.

He looked around and found that there was no one around, including the puppets he brought in. The space with seven mountains and eight rivers was too large to dilute thousands of people to the point where it could not be diluted any further.

He threw the wooden sign given by Li Xingluo not far away, quickly hid in the gap between two large rocks, sprinkled powder on his body to cover up the smell, and quickly took out the simple map distributed uniformly.

He closed his eyes, and the perspectives of the more than 200 puppets he brought with him and sold all appeared in his mind.

Even with a fourth-grade soul and the silk-puller's natural control over puppets, he felt like his CPU was about to smoke.

However, after taking a pill to wake up the brain, this feeling was suppressed a little.

With more than two hundred perspectives superimposed, he quickly determined the positions of all the puppets.

Followed by.

All the heavily armored puppets remained motionless, while the light-bodied archer dogs ran through the jungle. After finding the heavily armored puppets to form a combination of one melee and one ranged, they immediately joined up with the other combinations.

As for the top-notch puppet bestowed by the emperor, it rushed over to protect him at the first opportunity.

His attention was focused on the perspectives of the puppets that were sold.

The imperial examinations in the secret realm were not meant for those who fight alone. There must be means of quickly gathering within a small group, the only difference is the efficiency.

In just half an hour, a man, a demon and three puppets had gathered together.

The human youth was wearing the clothes of Cui family of Boling.

[Main destiny: Guide party]: Let the wolf into the house, worship the demon and respect yourself.

[Fate Grade]: Grade 79 (80/)

[Annotation]: He passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, and eventually became a rebel general. After the decline of the Qian Kingdom, he led the monsters into the capital and eventually became a seventh-rank official in the Monster King's Palace.

The other is a wolf demon.

It is also the seventh rank destiny for all races to enter officialdom through the imperial examination.

Wow, I encountered two at once!
The wolf demon looked at the puppets in surprise: "Brother Ling! The puppets you bought seem to be of good quality. You actually found three of them so quickly."

Cui Ling nodded in agreement: "That puppet master is really good at giving spirits. If he couldn't control them, I would even think there was a living person hiding inside."

The wolf demon laughed and said, "No hurry! Let's meet up with the others first, and when a few more people come, we'll go and clean up those human candidates."

Cui Ling raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to fight for the totem source?"

“Totem source energy? I am only at the fifth rank. Not to mention whether I can get it, even if I can, I have to offer it to the high officials of the Honglu Temple. It is better to ask for an official position for myself first. Things like killing Qin Muye and fighting for source energy, let those fourth rank geniuses do it!”

"Yes! That's right!"

"But Qin Muye is really a nuisance. Do you think they can kill Qin Muye?"

"It's hard to say. I think these puppets are only of the sixth rank or above. The ones given to Qin Muye by the Princess's Mansion must be better, they should be around the lower fifth rank. If they are gathered into an organized unit to defend their positions, I'm afraid..."

"If it's only the lower fifth rank, then there's really no need to worry."

The wolf demon showed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth: "Qingqiu Mei'er has already offered a reward, saying that as long as our demon officials can grab even a wisp of totem source energy, there will be someone who can break Qin Muye's jade token. Now those fourth-grade geniuses have all shown their magical powers to find him. I heard that there is a genius in the snake tribe who is extremely good at hiding and ambushing. Even if Qin Muye has more than a hundred puppets, he can't last more than twelve hours."

"I think so!"

"I think so!"

"I think so!"

"Hey? Brother Ling, why do you have such an accent when you speak?"

"That's not what I said!"

Cui Ling suddenly shuddered.

next moment.

The aura of the spirit stone suddenly exploded, and the sound of the magic circle expanding was endless.

then……

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Extremely fierce crossbow arrows came from three directions.

Cui Ling and the wolf demon's faces changed drastically, and they quickly dodged and prepared to escape, but the next moment, three heavily armored puppets had blocked their escape route.

“Dangdangdangdang…Puff!”

There are too many crossbow arrows, so there will inevitably be omissions.

Before he could cut off the crossbow arrow, the heavily armored puppets' spears, swords and axes had already attacked.

The moment before the jade token shattered.

The wolf demon made a horrified and defensive sound: "Is this the lower fifth rank you mentioned?"

The other end.

Nearly 30 free attribute points were earned. It was so easy to make these attribute points.

Qin Muye felt completely comfortable.

But he suddenly felt that the light was a little dim.

He looked up.

After seeing Li Xingluo’s disguise, he looked unhappy.

She pointed at the only fourth-grade puppet beside Qin Muye, and her voice was filled with anger: "Empress Di gave you so many puppets, why didn't any of them come over? What on earth are you controlling them for?"

Qin Muye spread his hands and said helplessly: "His Majesty has given me a mission..."

Li Xingluo: “???”

……

Originally, the area around the Weapon Casting Platform was crowded with people.

In the blink of an eye, it became deserted.

Only the examiner and many officials who were concerned about the situation inside were left, sitting quietly in front of a jade disk that was three meters square. The jade disk seemed to have only one side, but in fact it had thousands of faces. With just a thought, anyone could see where they wanted to see, except for the place where the totem source qi was.

It’s just that the viewing angle is very far away, and if the people inside try to avoid it, they can hardly hear what they are saying.

Qingqiu Mei'er curled up comfortably in the chair, showing off her graceful curves to the fullest.

She lazily looked at the scene on the jade disk and yawned contentedly: "Qin Muye is such a fool. He brought so many good puppets in, but after an hour, only one came up to protect me."

Yu Ming was also amused: "I thought he could hold out for a day, but now it seems he can't even hold out for half a day."

Qingqiu Meir nodded with a smile. The woman who came to him should be sent by the Princess Mansion or the Qin family to protect him. She must be a master, maybe even a fourth-grade cultivator.

But with only one person and one puppet, how can they stop the siege of the geniuses of the demon clan?

Now she only hopes that Qin Muye can be a little greedy, so that he can walk into the range where the jade token becomes invalid and lose his life directly, wouldn’t that be great?

But just as she was daydreaming, Niu Pingtian beside her suddenly let out a miserable howl.

She frowned: "What are you yelling about?"

"Be, be, be..."

Niu Pingtian was so anxious that his voice stammered: "He was hunted!"

Qingqiu Mei'er suddenly felt something was wrong: "Who was hunted? Who hunted him?"

Niu Pingtian was so anxious that the grass residue in his mouth flew everywhere. "Qin, Qin Muye's puppet, killed our younger generations with lower cultivation... one by one!"

Qingqiu Meier: “???”

She was stunned.

No?

Is the puppet he brought in so powerful?
It would be fine if this guy didn't use the turtle shell tactics to protect himself, but he even dared to take the initiative to attack?

Because of Niu Pingtian's reminder, other evil officials and officials from prominent families also began to look for their own sons and nephews.

then.

The howling sounds continued!
……

Yongqing Palace.

Li Hong was standing in front of his desk, painting leisurely.

Pu Mingzhu stood respectfully by the side, waiting quietly.

a long time.

Li Hong put down his paintbrush, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked with a warm smile, "Where are the Xingluo people?"

Pu Mingzhu quickly said, "Your Majesty, the princess is in seclusion."

"Since when did you start the seclusion?"

"The day before yesterday!"

"How long will the seclusion last?"

"One month!"

"That……"

Li Hong's smile grew brighter: "Do you think she is really in seclusion?"

Pu Mingzhu took a deep breath and said, "I didn't dare to set up the formation in the training room, so I can't make a firm statement, but I am sure that the bottleneck that Di Ji had to break through to the third level has not been loosened."

Li Hong's smile was full of doting: "This little girl really couldn't help herself. Well, let her be. This should have been her chance."

Pu Mingzhu lowered his head with an extremely complicated expression.
