In the evening, Youming came back with a serious expression.

"Why, haven't you heard about Wan Qiujin?" Ye Xiong asked anxiously.

"I accidentally heard a bad news."

"What news?"

"Two months ago, Xingchen Pass fell, and the demon army had already rushed in and occupied the ancient star. Now the front of the Qin Empire is in urgent need of the front line."

"Break through so quickly?" Ye Xiong's face changed slightly.

He thought that Xingchen Pass could be able to be defended for ten or eight years, but he did not expect that it would be broken in just four years.

"What's going on in Zu Xing now?" Ye Xiong asked anxiously.

"Zu Xing has not been compromised yet, but after the rumors, it will be a matter of time before it is compromised."

Ye Xiong was immediately worried that his black stone slab would be placed in a lake of Zuxing. If Zuxing is broken, he would be very trapped when he wanted to retrieve the black stone slab.

"Have you found out about the news about Wan Jinqiu and his son?" Ye Xiong continued to ask.

"I found out and was in the guard house of the Imperial City. By the way, there is still news."

"What news?"

"The Ninth Princess was brought back and is now in the Imperial City."

"Zeng Susu, how is it possible? Isn't she with the giant ape layman? How could she be caught back?" Ye Xiong asked excitedly,

Seeing that he looked so nervous, Youming couldn't help but look at him more.

"Don't think too much. I just treat her as an ordinary friend. There is no relationship between us." Ye Xiong quickly explained because he was afraid that she would misunderstand.

"I didn't ask you." Youming looked at him with a smile: "Your words are a bit like 'no silver here'."

"Nonsense, I just don't want you to misunderstand."

"I don't care what your relationship with him. What are you going to do now? Are you going to save her and leave?"

Ye Xiong was silent immediately. It was no worse than killing Wan Jinqiu when he wanted to save Zeng Susu.

It’s OK to save it, but what after it’s done?

It is impossible to keep her by my side. I am not a relative of him, and it is impossible to take care of her for the rest of my life.

"How is she doing now?"

"I don't know, but it's certain that she's still alive."

Ye Xiong sighed for a while and said, "I'd better not go to this muddy water. Zeng Susu is the princess of Canglan Empire after all. No matter how bad the third prince is, she is her brother after all. The blood is thicker than water. The third prince will definitely not let her get into trouble."

"Let's put Zeng Susu's affairs aside, let's not worry about it. The most important thing for us now is to kill Wan Jinqiu and his son to help Zeng Zhan take revenge."

"We can't do anything in the imperial city. It's too dangerous. It would be great if we could lead them out of the imperial city."

"The question is, how can we lead them out of the imperial city?"

Ye Xiong thought for a while while his chin was supporting him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

...

After the third year, it is the first day of the lunar calendar and the auspicious day of the imperial road.

At this time, Zeng Susu would come to a temple on a mountain several hundred kilometers away from the imperial city to listen to sutras and chant Buddha's name.

Although her body has been completely healed, her habit of believing in Buddhism has not yet been lost.

Because of her Ninth Princess, two guards followed her every time she went out. When she went to the temple on the 15th day of the lunar month, the two guards followed her closely.

Unfortunately, these two guards are in the Golden Pill stage, and even if both of them enter the half-step Nascent Soul, it is still not enough to see.

After Zeng Susu entered the temple, the familiar sound of wooden fish came from inside, and several monks were prosecuting Buddha's scriptures.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"Su Su, long time no see."

Zeng Susu's body trembled. Hearing the sound, he saw a guest chanting a scripture on the ground more than ten meters away.

In front of the old man in his forties, he was wearing simple clothes. If he hadn't heard his voice, Zeng Susu wouldn't have known it was him.

She was excited and was about to stand up when Ye Xiong hurriedly said, "The two guards are staring at you outside. Don't stand up. As soon as you stand up, you will be found. Let's talk like this. You can whisper, I can hear it."

The secret sound used by Ye Xiong is so heart-wrenching that no one can hear except her.

"Nie Feng, where have you been in the past few years?" Zeng Susu asked.

Ye Xiong originally wanted to tell him that his real name was Ye Xiong, but now Ye Xiong's name is too sensitive. If she knew about it, she might not be able to keep the secret. After all, she is too simple.

"I found a place to go to seclusion and practice, and I only came out of seclusion today." Ye Xiong finished speaking, and then changed his voice and asked, "How are you doing in the imperial city now? The third prince hasn't made things difficult for you, right?"

"He didn't make things difficult for me, he was pretty good to me, but I don't like him, he was too cold-blooded." Zeng Susu said.

"For the sake of the throne, he killed all the other princes without any brotherhood. I guess he kept you because you are a daughter and cannot threaten him." Ye Xiong heard the boredom in her voice and couldn't help but say, "Why don't I take you out of here?"

"No, I don't want to implicate you. He has great magical powers and we can't escape." Zeng Susu hurriedly refused.

She is still kind-hearted as before.

Ye Xiong didn't want to help her, after all, it would be a little troublesome, but the more she did this, the more she touched the softness in his heart.

"Didn't you stayed with the Giant Ape Layman and practiced with her? Why were you caught back here?" Ye Xiong asked in confusion.

Ye Xiong knew very well the strength of the Giant Ape layman. She was from the same age as Master Roland, and her strength was definitely not ordinary.

Like Wan Jinqiu and his son, they are absolutely unable to defeat the giant ape lay Buddhists.

"It's all my fault. I didn't pay attention when I went down the mountain to purchase grain. I didn't expect that Wan Jinqiu was looking for me and was caught by him accidentally." Speaking of this past incident, Zeng Susu was very guilty. "The master still doesn't know that I've been arrested, and he might even think that I don't want to stay by her, so he left."

"When did you get caught?"

"I've been with her for less than two months."

In such a short time, the Giant Ape layman might really feel that she had left quietly. After all, not every female cultivator is willing to stay in a place where birds do not shit and practice hard.

"We will talk about these things slowly in the future. I come to you today and I have something to help you."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to kill Wan Jinqiu and Wan Jinhao. I want you to find a way to trick them out of the imperial city." Ye Xiong said his purpose directly.

"Nie Feng, don't be impulsive, they are not something you can deal with."

Zeng Susu was shocked when she heard that Ye Xiong was going to kill them.

In her heart, even Zeng Zhan is not Wan Jinqiu's opponent. If he is killed, Nie Feng will be even more unlikely to be his opponent.
