Monarch of Evernight: Eighty-two return journey

bsp;In the real field of vision, Zhao Youping's gesture was not just a showpiece. The swaying force spread out from the center of his body, with seven ripples of force extending to the surroundings. Those are his next possible attack routes, almost covering the fan-shaped area in front of him.

Zhao Youping's body swayed gently, like a crane dancing in the wind. And as he swings, the seven force ripples are also hesitating, and they will send out a violent blow somewhere at any time.

The Soaring Sky Water Bird Fist is indeed worthy of the name of a secret combat skill. Judging from the movement of the force, it can be said to be both offensive and defensive. With this kind of swing, there are not only multiple attack routes to choose from, making it difficult for the opponent to grasp the direction of the attack, but the same goes for defense, which can be dealt with calmly within the coverage area. If Zhao Youping can reach the level of War Commander, the fan-shaped area should expand.

However, in Qianye's eyes at this time, all the changes in the Soaring Sky Water Bird Fist's back moves were clearly visible. This secret martial art is just like the Zhao Clan's traditional style, elegant and gorgeous, full of calmness and calmness at all times, without any fireworks. But precisely because of this, it gained agility and elegance, but lost three points of power.

Qianye immediately gathered his force, stepped forward, and punched the chest with a simple punch.

There is nothing fancy about the jab in martial arts in the military, but as soon as the punch is delivered, there is a faint sound of wind and thunder in the air.

Zhao Youping's body swing suddenly increased, and he could not help but fall towards the direction of Qianye's fist, almost losing his balance. He was shocked. There was a huge suction force coming from the front, and it felt difficult to resist it.

Zhao Youping didn't bother to pull himself back to the best position, he took action hastily, let out a high-pitched scream, waved his right hand like a wing, and punched Qianye.

The fists and palms met, and there was a thunderous sound. Zhao Youping felt like he was struck by thunder, his whole body was shaken violently, and he flew back violently. He crushed the desk and bookshelf all the way, hit the wall directly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhao Youping never expected the situation in front of him. He was frightened and angry for a moment. His mind went blank. Looking at Qianye who was striding towards him, his reaction was a beat too slow.

Qianye whipped his leg, sweeping through thousands of troops. Zhao Youping was like waking up from a dream, he acted accordingly and tried his best to dodge.

Thunder sounded, and Qianye punched his head again. Zhao Youping couldn't dodge, he crossed his arms and couldn't help but spurt out another mouthful of blood.

Qianye's offensive was like thunder and lightning, leaving no time for Zhao Youping to breathe. He practiced every move directly. Most of them were basic movements of military fighting skills, which were fast enough, heavy enough, and ruthless enough.

Zhao Youping has lost his first move and always has to do his best to block Qianye's casual punch. He really couldn't understand how Qianye's fists and kicks, both at the eighth level, could be so heavy. It was like a mountain pressing down on his head, so heavy that it made people despair.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Youping's body-protecting force was shattered. Qianye drove straight in with a long palm and slapped him **** the chest. With a clicking sound, Zhao Youping's chest collapsed completely, and even blood could not spurt out.

Qianye slowly stopped his hand and looked at Zhao Youping, who was already on the verge of death.

Zhao Youping panted like bellows and said viciously: "The Zhao family will never...let you go! We will hunt you down to the end of the world. I will take the first step and wait for you below!"

Qianye said calmly: "Then just wait." After saying that, he casually pulled out a long sword from the weapons rack on the wall and stabbed Zhao Youping into the heart. He looked around the room, then dropped his sword, jumped out of the back window and disappeared into the night.

This battle took very little time, and the battle was over in just ten moves. It wasn't until Qianye left that the guards rushed into the study, and then the alarm sounded loudly.

Qianye walked quickly under the night, heading straight for the airship landing site. At this time, the entire Libin City fell into chaos. The area immediately outside the West City Gate was still silent, except that the number of guards was several times greater than usual.

However, the heavily guarded guards were useless in Qianye's eyes, and he crossed the cordon lightly and skillfully. There were three huge aerostats parked side by side on one side of the take-off and landing site. Qianye chose the 'Centurion'-type mixed passenger and cargo airship.

Opening the emergency backup door at the rear of the aerostat is just a trivial matter for Qianye. The set of small metal tools can be used as a torture tool or to open a simple mechanical lock. The 'Centurion', the most common dual-purpose airship on public waterways in the empire, does not have a too complicated structure.

Qianye sneaked into the airship through the backup entrance, locked the door again, and eliminated all traces around him. This public boat, which will fly to the capital of the Zhao clan in two days, is completely silent inside. There are no passengers or crew members, but most of the cargo is already loaded in the cargo hold.

Qianye walked all the way to the lower fuel tank. The black stones had been replenished and piled up in the tank like a hill. He found a corner near the inner bulkhead, slowly dug a hole, used a military tarp to create a small space, and got in.

Qianye used the Force to shake, causing the surrounding black stones to roll down, burying himself underneath. Then he gathered his breath, and his body temperature slowly dropped, entering a state similar to a turtle's breath.

The chaos in Libin City slowly subsided after the other two commanders of the city defense army came forward to take charge of the overall situation, but the tense atmosphere continued.

As the commander of the city defense army, Zhao Youping was assassinated in one of his private residences. It was not a small matter. The commander of the city defense army of an important city was considered to be a managerial-level powerful figure within the Zhao Clan, and his position was in the middle level.

The city defense army mobilized in full force and searched Libin City for a day and a night, but found nothing. Places like the airship field are naturally key areas and have been reviewed several times. Passengers and luggage were subject to strict inspection, and the interior of the airship and cargo were no exception. However, no one thought of shoveling up all the black rocks in the pond to take a look.

Even with such troubles, it is always within the scope of Libin City, and of course the external order cannot be disrupted. Otherwise, let alone the death of a commander, even if it is the city lord who dies, they will be ordered by the Zhao clan.

So the 'Centurion' type public airship carrying mixed passengers and cargo still took off on time according to the original schedule, taking Qianye steadily towards the Zhao Clan's capital, West Ji City.

Everything in the Zhao Mansion in West Ji City was as usual, except that the news that Zhao Jundu was about to go to war spread in private.

This news surprised some people. The top three sons of Duke Chengen have just gone to the battlefield and have not returned yet. Zhao Ruoxi is also leaving the city, not to mention Zhao Weihuang himself. In the Langyan Corps, only major festivals are held. It's time to come back.

Although the Zhao clan has its own set of people to run its daily affairs and is not affected, the fact that no one from Chengen Gong's lineage who can take charge of affairs stays in the mansion is also quite eye-catching.

For a while, everyone in the government was curious. However, this time Zhao Jundu seemed to be planning to travel alone. Even his guards were not notified of his preparations to travel, let alone inquire about the destination.

The file on the assassination of the commander of the Libin City Defense Army arrived on Zhao Jundu's desk the next day. The nature of this matter is relatively bad, but it is not a big deal. It is classified as a third-level document, which means that someone has already dealt with it, and he only needs to know about it.

Zhao Jundu only read the title, closed it and threw it on the desk. He had been in a bad mood for the past two days. At this time, when he saw that the dignified commander of the city defense army was assassinated in the city, he couldn't help but feel angry. .

The case file did not stop on the table, it fell to the ground with a snap, and a loose page slowly fell out. It was a portrait. The search in Libin City failed, and they judged that the man was likely to abscond, so he requested the family to issue a wanted order within the Zhao clan's province.

Zhao Jundu bent down to pick up the file. After catching a glimpse of the portrait, his expression suddenly changed slightly. It was a young man with an ordinary appearance, completely incomparable with the handsome young men in the other two portraits, but at this time Zhao Jundu had a strong intuition that came from nowhere, allowing him to associate the two.

Zhao Jundu calmed down and looked through the file again. There is nothing too new. This person killed many sergeants in Libin City and assassinated the commander of the city defense army. The reason is unknown. He picked up the picture and looked at it for a while, and suddenly found something that felt similar.

Eyes! No matter whether he looks ordinary or handsome, his eyes are so similar. Generally speaking, it is not a very complicated disguise, nor does it deliberately change the shape of the eyes...

Zhao Jundu couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows. He suddenly thought of Zhao Ruoxi, and then realized another problem. No matter who Li Bincheng was, the clear eyes of the young man in the portrait that Uncle Wang gave him were somewhat similar to his little sister.

Zhao Jundu thought for a while and wrote four words on the file in Libin City: "Send back for re-examination."

When Wenyuan Pavilion, who was responsible for the daily affairs of the Zhao family, received the withdrawn file, he couldn't help but be very surprised. Zhao Jundu had always only read but not approved matters of this level. Could it be that there was an inside story about the assassination in Libin City?

Thinking that the Lord of Libin City had been ill and bedridden for a long time, and that the reasons for the assassination were not reported clearly, the steward who got the file immediately felt that he understood something. Before evening, several secret orders were sent to Libin. The spies who only took orders from the family became active and began to trace the cause of the incident.

While Zhao Clan's Palace and Libin City were busy, the aerospace boat carrying Qianye finally arrived at Xijicheng after two days and one night of flight.

The aerostat landed at the public airship base on the outskirts of West Pole City. It was in the dead of night that Qianye got out of the fuel tank. Fortunately, the Zhao family was so rich that even the public airship brought enough fuel back and forth. The Black Stone Pond was only half used, leaving enough hiding space for Qianye.

At this moment, there was no one in the airship, and even the cargo had been unloaded. Qianye walked all the way to the backup door, and left without leaving any trace.

Xiji City is located in the hinterland of the Western Continent, and is also the core location of the four major provinces of the Zhao family. The city is not closed at night, and even the city entry tax is not collected to show the magnanimity of the family. Before Qianye entered Xijicheng, he removed all his disguises so that no one could connect him with the events in Libin City.

This is indeed the number one city in the Western Continent, and it is also the most well-informed of information from outside the mainland. Of course, Qianye is most concerned about the war in Yongye Continent. Judging from the news received so far, this war is over, really over. .

Although the war is over and Qianye doesn't have to rush on his way, he can't stay too long in the Zhao clan's territory. Disguise is not a panacea, and a truly strong person also has a variety of unpredictable means to lock a person's whereabouts. He must still leave the Western Continent as soon as possible.

Qianye has booked the latest public airship heading to the Taihang Mountains. The destination is a remote town. He will pass through the Silent Fire Plains just like when he came, and then take the gray channel to the mainland of the empire and return to the Evernight Continent.

After that, Qianye lived in seclusion in Xijicheng, almost staying in the hotel room without moving. It wasn't until the scheduled time came that he hurried to the airship base and boarded his flight.

After a while, Qianye stood by the porthole and watched the ground go away, and then he relaxed. The float boat crossed the mountains and rivers and went all the way away.

Shortly after Qianye's airship took off, Zhao Jundu received news from the Sixth Elder.

PS: There will be another update tonight.
