Chapter 86: Prince! Please put down your sword handle!

Chapter 86: Prince! Please put away your sword handle!
Qin Muye was a little confused. He was just talking nonsense and used the idea of ​​poaching to show that he didn't know her true identity. As a result, Li Xingluo agreed without even thinking about it.

I use a puppet to go undercover beside you?
Do you also want to disguise yourself and go undercover with me?
My identity as Taoist Master Kongxu has been exposed?
Probably not...

He grinned: "Are you serious?"

Li Xingluo frowned. "Just now, I put all my life's knowledge into this, just to get your approval, right? Now you ask me if I'm serious?"

"I...hey?"

Qin Muye was not paying attention and she grabbed his hand, dipped it in blood, and directly pressed the handprint.

He was confused: "You don't want to work in the Emperor's Mansion anymore?"

Li Xingluo said seriously, "I've thought about it carefully. Your Highness, what you said just now is correct. The princess is indeed over-exploiting her subordinates. I don't know how much good things the princess has received from you. She just talked me into protecting you. Although I gave you a lot, it is definitely not as much as what she received. So why don't I just work for you and save her the chance to make the difference."

Qin Muye: “…”

You are such a genius, you can even make up such a thing!
"I've taken the employment contract. I'll finish Diji's work and come find you when I get out."

Li Xingluo stuffed the cloth strip with the fingerprints into his arms, glanced at the still confused Qin Muye, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across his lips.

The battle was chaotic just now.

But what she is best at is seeing through the battlefield situation. No matter how chaotic the situation is, not a single detail can escape her eyes.

This is her innate talent!

She clearly saw that Qin Muye's puppet was abnormal!

Although the moves are a bit rigid, it is very similar to a puppet in a normal state.

But she was sure that at least half of this puppet's moves were aimed at the target's weaknesses, otherwise these monsters would not have been able to retreat so quickly.

This is not normal!

She knew very well what the puppets refined by the Taoist priest looked like. Their intelligence was indeed not low, but they definitely could not directly attack the flaws with every move. This was a combat awareness that only top masters could possess.

In other words.

The puppet's master just now, Qin Muye, immersed his consciousness into the puppet's body and controlled it directly.

But the son of the Marquis of Zhennan obviously should not possess such strength.

It is even more inappropriate to control the puppet so smoothly in such a short time.

Since my father has repeatedly taken action to bind me to the Qin family.

Then bind it completely!
She also wanted to see what secrets this son of the Marquis of Zhennan was hiding.

Perhaps the key to breaking the impasse lies in Qin Muye.

"Prince!?"

"Ok?"

Qin Muye was still confused and couldn't understand why she suddenly wanted to be undercover beside him.

Li Xingluo coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Can you help your future most loyal subordinate down the mountain and find a safe place to heal his wounds?"

Qin Muye: “…”

Sisters!

You're being a bit too familiar!
I still like your dignified look!
……

Weapon casting platform.

Silence!

Silence!

Still silent!

No one expected that this woman who appeared out of nowhere would be so powerful.

What was even more unexpected was that she was able to break up the pre-planned siege with just a few words of provocation and a killing move in less than a quarter of an hour.

Zheng Wang was secretly shocked. Although he didn't know this man's background, with his character and strength, he would surely become a great man in time.

No!

It has become a great thing!
A half-step grandmaster at the age of less than twenty-five.

What am I, that I should judge her?

When did such a talent appear in the Princess's Mansion?

If protecting Qin Muye wasn't such a dirty and dangerous job, I would have suspected that this person was the princess in disguise.

Hahahahaha...

I'm really humorous.

Zheng Wang shook his head, patted Niu Pingtian on the shoulder, pointed at the jade disk and said, "Eat it!"

Niu Pingtian: “???”

Qingqiu Mei'er shook her head helplessly: "There is indeed no solution to the combination of strength and conspiracy. Retreating is the right thing to do. Princess Di has also spent a lot of money for Qin Muye!"

The others nodded in understanding.

This imperial examination was full of points of interest for the princess. Although the identity of this woman was not stated, it was no different from being stated.

Niu Pingtian asked curiously, "Is this woman from the Princess's Mansion? Did she say that just now? Why didn't I hear it?"

Qingqiu Meier: "..."

Zheng Wang: “…”

They tacitly did not speak to Niu Pingtian, but just looked at the jade disc quietly.

It is already unlikely to stop Qin Muye from becoming the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, so it is better to care about the ownership of the totem source qi.

They are not worried about this.

Although the hunt for Qin Muye failed, it did prevent these masters from wasting time and also preserved their strength.

This group of geniuses from the demon race will definitely try their best.

Because they have set three conditions for directly obtaining the Totem Source Qi: whoever sends Qin Muye out of the secret realm will get one strand; whoever is the first to get the Totem Source Qi will get one strand; and whoever gets multiple Totem Source Qi will also get one strand.

Judging from the difficulty, only one or two strands should be given to the young talent.

The rest will be confiscated and refined together by those who work hard for the Demon Official Group.

With so many experts, and nine strands of totem source energy, they must be able to capture six or seven, right?
As for the other officials who were watching the game, they were also whispering.

The sad face of a noble family.

Those of common origin were greatly encouraged.

The Princess's Mansion was too strong and easily touched everyone's heartstrings.

……

In a cave somewhere.

Qin Muye was a little EMO. He thought about it for a long time and finally confirmed that he had only revealed one flaw.

That is the use of the fate skill "flaw".

All I can say is that this princess is indeed a genius in cultivation. I have deliberately hidden my tricks, but she still discovered them in such a chaotic battle.

Isn’t this observation ability too amazing?

Now Li Xingluo must be suspecting that he is hiding his incompetence.

Just doubt it if you want to.

As long as you don't suspect that I am Taoist Master Kongxu himself, it will be fine.

However, she would definitely still suspect that she had a relationship with Taoist Master Kongxu. After all, her attitude and dedication when she saved Qin Yanying last time were enough to show something.

Qin Muye could also sense that although Li Xingluo respected "Master Kongxu" very much, she definitely did not completely regard him as her own, even though she had great respect for "Master Kongxu".

It is because of this identity that he is tainted with too many elements of the Qin family.

of course.

The Qin family is in an awkward position now. It is normal for Li Xingluo to exclude the Qin family as he wants to compete for the throne.

But he always felt that there were other reasons that he didn't know about.

Li Xingluo is still meditating to heal his injuries.

Qin Muye was a little bored, so he just focused on watching the surveillance. Hundreds of puppets had now formed eight or nine medium-sized teams, roaming around in the mountains and forests hunting.

Of course, they don't just hunt. During the process, many people discovered that they only hunted demon officials and students from aristocratic families. Many civilian students made some plans and directly formed a group to join.

After all, before the puppet team came hunting them, many of them had been purposefully cleared out. It was originally a game of banding together, so they would naturally seek shelter.

It just so happened that Qin Muye, who had countless puppets produced by the Emperor's Mansion under his command, was the best person they could turn to for help.

Qin Muye was not annoyed by them. Judging from Li Xingluo's appearance, he should be close to revealing his cards. After breaking off relations with the corrupt officials and aristocratic forces, he would definitely show goodwill to the ministers who came from humble backgrounds. Moreover, Li Xingluo's base was also here. Not doing so would be a pure loss.

However, after such a long time, more than half of the more than 6,000 students have been cleared out.

The remaining ones have basically formed a group, so it should be difficult to hunt them down.

He simply gave up the hunting plan temporarily, leaving most of the heavy-armored puppets to those students of civilian origin, and then sent out the small and agile puppet dogs as spies, and then he began to serve as the director of the monitoring room.

The perspective of nearly fifty puppet dogs, plus more than one hundred traitor puppets.

After just sitting in the cave for half a day, he had almost figured out the situation in the entire secret realm.

It is quite pleasant to explore and eat at the same time.

While he was eating, someone snatched away a piece of his cake.

Li Xingluo had woken up at some point. While chewing on a piece of biscuit, he looked at the map he had drawn with great interest: "Prince! What's the situation now? Has anyone found the totem source?"

"not sure for now."

Qin Muye shook his head: "I can only say that I haven't discovered it yet. Your Majesty has hidden it really well!"

Li Xingluo nodded slightly, but then frowned and thought: "Do you feel something is wrong?"

Qin Muye slapped his thigh angrily: "This is totally wrong! Although the mountains and rivers are not small, the scientific examination rules read out before said that the jade token will be invalid if it is within a mile of the totem source. There are thousands of jade tokens in the secret realm, it is impossible that not a single one is close to the totem source, right?"

Li Xingluo looked a little serious: "I think so too!"

"The rules are deceptive?" "Not really! There may be hidden information in the rules, but there will never be false information. Do you still remember what the original words said?"

“Original words…”

Qin Muye thought for a moment and said, "The object that stores the totem's source energy can isolate all its auras, and the formation engraved on it can penetrate mountains, rivers, wood, and stones, making the jade tokens within a mile ineffective... Huh? It can only penetrate mountains, rivers, wood, and stones, but it doesn't say it can penetrate the flesh."

Li Xingluo smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, they should be in the stomach of the so-called guardian beast."

Qin Muye looked at her scrutinizingly: "You guessed so quickly, could it be that the princess gave you some inside information?"

Li Xingluo raised his eyebrows: "The location where the totem source qi is hidden was jointly decided by the two great masters of the royal family and the three great demons of the Great Saint Temple. After the arrangement was completed, they all went into seclusion together. Even Your Majesty doesn't know about this. How did Princess Di get the inside information?"

"I didn't say you cheated, why are you so anxious?"

"I'm not in a hurry!"

Li Xingluo said confidently: "I just want to prove my strong strength to my future lord."

Qin Muye: “…”

This little thing talks in an interesting way.

If it weren't for the fate on her head, he wouldn't have dared to guess that this was Li Xingluo.

You put on a vest and started playing with contrast, right?
Qin Muye asked curiously, "So the reason why the princess sent you here is to protect me as a secondary goal, and the main goal is still the totem source qi, right?"

"That's natural!"

"What does Princess Di want this for?"

"How should I know this? How dare a subordinate like you to ask about your lord's secrets?"

"That's right... By the way! The task that Princess Di gave you was, how many strands should you get?"

"Just a wisp will do!"

"Oh……"

Qin Muye seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "If I get a few more strands, will there be any extra rewards?"

Li Xingluo raised his eyebrows: "Oh? The prince has something to say?"

Qin Muye rolled his eyes at her. "If you keep pretending, you'll be too polite! The princess gave me so many traitor puppets. Isn't it just to keep them for others to finish their work and then play tricks on them? With the strength of you and my puppets, it's easy to kill people and rob them."

Li Xingluo seemed to be thinking about something, but in fact she had never thought about it that way.

Because her original goal was just to get a wisp of totem energy and leave, she still had a way to do this. After all, she knew the royal family's background very well. The ones that could serve as guardian beasts were all at the peak of the fourth rank, and there were only a dozen of them in total.

Although I haven't had much contact with them, I know some of their habits, so it shouldn't be a problem to find a few of them.

If she really wanted to plot something behind the scenes, she would never have given Qin Muye the right to monitor the traitor puppet group.

Giving it to Qin Muye was just to help him understand the enemy's vision, assist with the tortoise shell tactics, and safely pass the imperial examination.

The result was unexpected.

I was plotted against by my father again.

She was almost certain that Li Hong had guessed that she had sneaked in secretly, otherwise he would not have let all of Qin Muye's puppets go hunting. Except for those at the peak of the fourth rank, no one could save Qin Muye from being hunted by so many monsters.

Now that I've been forced to this point, I can only be arrogant!
Li Xingluo looked into his eyes and said, "Prince, you should have released the puppet dogs, right?"

Qin Muye smiled and nodded: "Of course!"

"Then... we'll split the totem energy we snatched in 50-50?"

"no problem!"

"very good!"

Li Xingluo stood up with a smile: "Then let's go!"

Qin Muye was stunned for a moment: "Those idiots haven't figured out the trick yet, and their war hasn't started yet, so how can we wait in the wings?"

Li Xingluo raised his eyebrows: "Why are we waiting for those pigs? Beat up a few beasts first and get the guaranteed totem source energy first!"

Qin Muye: “…”

This girl's personality is really wild after she puts on the vest!

……

Somewhere at the foot of a mountain.

"Princess."

A pretty girl reported in a low voice: "I have sealed the mountain with spider silk, but I still can't sense any beast rioting."

Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked towards Bai Yuji. The remnants of Nanzhao were quite poor, and many of their inheritances should have been lost.

Fortunately, Bai Yuji had the ability to make a living and was ruthless. He tightened his belt to allow them to learn the Nanzhao heritage, and after they entered the sect, he also collected money for them to travel.

This is how she is today.

Although his cultivation level was not very high, only at the sixth level, he could monitor the fluctuations of spiritual energy in a very large area through the vibrations of the spider silk by laying down a large formation.

Finally I can help the princess!

Bai Yuji smiled and patted her hands: "Well done, keep monitoring!"

"Ok!"

The little girl was very excited to be recognized. She nodded and returned to the center of the spider web formation.

Bai Yuji looked at her back with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow in his eyes.

It takes a thousand days to train an army and only a day to deploy it. She was very impressed by the results achieved by these talented people of the same race.

But this time the situation seems a little weird.

It has been so long and there has been no ferocious beast riot. Thousands of people have entered the secret realm, but no one has found a ferocious beast. This is extremely unreasonable.

She repeatedly pondered the rules read out by the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up abruptly: "In the belly of the beast!"

“Crack!”

There was the sound of stones not far away.

Bai Yuji's face changed and he quickly rushed towards the place where the sound came from. As expected, he saw the puppet dog carrying a crossbow.

Puppet dog: "..."

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

Bai Yuji squatted down and examined it, and said sarcastically: "Why do you want to be a dog instead of a good person?"

The puppet dog tilted its head and spoke in human language: "I just thought of something, and was afraid that you didn't know, so I came to inform you. I didn't expect that you thought the same thing as I did. Don't you think this is telepathy, ha, hahaha..."

Bai Yuji snorted softly: "Are you sure you are not here to stop me from taking the totem energy?"

"That's impossible! We just got married, how can we sleep in the same bed but have different dreams?"

"You mean, after being married for a long time, you can sleep in the same bed but have different dreams?"

"Do not……"

"That's what you mean!"

"Bai Yuji! You can bully me for being dumb, but you can't question my feelings for you."

"?"

Bai Yuji was speechless, if your mouth is still stupid, what is my mouth?
She tapped the dog's head gently: "You! You'd better not have any bad thoughts, or I'll smash your dog's head!"

"You don't believe me, right? Bring me your map and I'll mark the current enemy distribution for you."

"promise!"

Bai Yuji handed over the map and a pen, and watched the puppet dog holding the pen and struggling to draw the distribution of forces, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't fool me at all, and the distribution of forces he drew was almost the same as what I collected.

"Did you reply to the letter this time?"

"You are quite honest!"

“Is there a reward?”

"Let's talk about it after we get out!"

Bai Yuji smiled and patted the dog's head: "Stop playing around! Let this silly dog ​​go back and protect you. Pay more attention to your own safety!"

The puppet dog said with some displeasure: "You really don't need my help?"

Bai Yuji smiled confidently: "Don't worry! I have many tricks up my sleeve. I will definitely get the first totem source energy."

"All right……"

"move!"

"Um……"

"Is there anything else?"

"My dear, you are so beautiful. I feel so itchy without you on the first night after our wedding..."

"…Pah! What a dirty bastard."

Bai Yuji spat lightly, and the entanglement of last night emerged in her mind again. This memory was too soul-stirring and really disturbing.

I hit the dog's head hard, and the puppet dog ran away.

Not long yet.

A young man ran over in a hurry: "Princess, we have found something, twenty miles to the south of us... Hey? Why is your face so red?"

……

Li Xingluo carried Qin Muye on his back and climbed the cliff with his bare hands.

Halfway up the mountain, they would reach the lair of their first target.

But the more I climb.

The more she felt something was wrong, the more she said, "Prince, we won't fight for a while, can you please hold the hilt of your sword back first? It's a bit uncomfortable."
