"Douzong? The Thousand-faced Real Man? You are simply joking. With the Red Sun Empire's heritage, how can you cultivate a Douzong?"

Li Xiaojing looked at Ning Qi with even more mocking eyes.

"This is the fact. Your Majesty, you can personally interrogate Long Jiutian about this matter."

Ning Qi smiled.

"Long Jiutian? Did you bring him back?"

Qin Zheng frowned.

"The people from Guanfu Trading Company are escorting him back, and it won't take long for him to arrive in the capital. The Thousand-faced Master is probably negotiating with Baicao Sect and Qinglan Sect, or Dou Sect, which is holding these two sects in check.

, when the time comes, our Qin and Tang Empire will face a fierce battle, the emperor had better make preparations in advance."

Ning Qi smiled.

"Your Majesty, this is simply nonsense! The Red Sun Empire's annual tribute is not less than half a cent. If they really have the existence of Douzong, will our Qin and Tang Empire be stable for so many years?"

Li Xiaojing sneered.

"That's because the Red Sun Empire's goal is not our Qin and Tang Empire at all. This place is just a springboard for him. The Red Sun Empire intends to become a three-legged force with the Baicao Sect and the Qinglan Sect."

Ning Qi sneered.

"Okay, don't quarrel anymore. Li Xiaojing, please lead your shadow guards to investigate clearly and see if there are ambushes from the Red Sun Empire in our four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest. If this matter

It’s true, this time, the consequences will be disastrous!”

Qin Zheng frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Xiaojing nodded. Although he still didn't believe Ning Qi's nonsense, he would still listen to Qin Zheng's words. He glared at Ning Qi and left the study directly.

"Dragon Slayer, if this is true, could you please go to the White Tiger Empire to bring in some reinforcements?"

Qin Zheng looked at Ning Qi and said.

"I can give it a try. I can't guarantee whether they will help."

Ning Qi nodded.

"Yes, I understand."

Qin Zheng nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Qi said goodbye and left.

Not long after he left the palace, Qin Yao and Ling Yan also came back.

"Junior sister, there may still be some misunderstandings about this matter. Let us wait for you and Black Water Proud Dragon to calm down for a while and then we can make things clear."

Ling Yan advised.

Qin Yao was expressionless and silent all the way, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Although I don't know what he did with those women, I'm not stupid, and it definitely won't be anything good. Senior sister, don't try to persuade me. I'll tell my mother and father, and we'll go back to the sect.

Go, in a few months, the trial of a true disciple will begin, and my only goal now is to become a true disciple."

Qin Yao said.

"Oh well."

Ling Yan nodded.

The next day, the two girls left the capital.

…………

North of Beijing.

There is a small town near the Tianfeng Forest. This town was completely inconspicuous in the Qin and Tang Empires. The people in it came out at sunrise and returned at sunset, living an ordinary life without any disputes.

There won't be any monsters coming to invade, because the monsters here will be cleaned up by the noble disciples of the capital every year.

Li Xiaojing fell from the sky and walked on the country road.

Peasant women who passed by from time to time saw that he was dressed in an extraordinary way and saluted him respectfully.

"This is already the northernmost point. That guy Ning Qi is really just talking nonsense."

Li Xiaojing thought to himself.

Suddenly, a shirtless middle-aged man not far away caught his attention. This man was working hard in the fields. Judging from his movements, it was impossible to tell that he had any cultivation skills on his body. Every time he waved the hoe,

It can make him sweat. It's obvious that he has been doing farm work for a long time.

His skin was dark, and he looked exactly like the farmers Li Xiaojing had met before. There was nothing noteworthy about him, but those were not the things Li Xiaojing noticed.

But the traces in the fields.

These traces dug out by the hoe are no more and no less. They are exactly five inches and three inches, not one more and not one less. If one or two are like this, it doesn't matter. The key is that all the marks are so neat.

, which made Li Xiaojing a little suspicious.

Therefore, Li Xiaojing stood at the edge of the field and observed the other party without concealment.

The middle-aged man glanced at Li Xiaojing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to work.

After about a cup of tea, he saw that Li Xiaojing was still looking at him. The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes as he looked at the fields. Then, his intensity changed, and the marks were no longer the same.

Rather, some are deeper and some are shallower.

Seeing this, Li Xiaojing turned and left.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiaojing's back and suddenly stopped. At this time, other people in the field also came over.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, but the aura on him is at least that of a Dou Huang!"

"Did he discover us?"

"It's impossible. We've all taken the top-grade Xuan-level breath-condensing pills. Even the peak Dou Huang, a master who has entered the nine levels of life and death, can't see our true identity."

At this time, a wry smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, he lowered his head and glanced at his field, and whispered: "Maybe he really discovered something."

When everyone heard this, doubts arose on their faces. When they saw the traces on the field, their faces instantly darkened.

………………

Shadow Guard.

The dozen or so spies sent by Li Xiaojing sent back information one after another. After receiving a piece of information, Li Xiaojing's expression became even worse.

That document was a record of the town he had just visited. It clearly stated that there were thirty-seven households in this town, with a population of one hundred and twenty-eight. Even if there had been recent changes,

, not more than twenty, but he just clearly felt the presence of more than 300 people in the town!

There has been no disaster recently, and naturally there is no talk of refugees. So who are the more than 100 people who came out?

In other words, among the more than 300 people, there is still one original town citizen!?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaojing stood up fiercely and said, "You guys, go and bring back all the population files of every town in every place, and then send out all the people to check every place to see if it matches the files. Don't let even a small village go.

!If you have any problems, report to me as soon as possible!”

"yes!"

After hearing this, more than a dozen spies retreated one after another.

Each of these dozen people is a Dou Huang, with cultivation ranging from one star to three stars. With this kind of cultivation, they could at least be granted a title in the Qin and Tang Empires, but they are willing to be a shadow in the night.
