Book of Disaster

"That's right, and word has spread that Bai Qi is the 'First Dragon Slayer' who caused the storm earlier, the one that even the Dragon Emperor couldn't do anything about."

"General, the rumors are spreading more and more, which is not good for us. Now even our front-line base has begun to panic. There are even rumors that they are coming from behind and will join forces with the three martial saints of the Great Yuan to surround us!"

……

Everyone was trembling in their hearts, and they all spoke one after another, telling the rumors that Jun had heard during this period.

With every word the crowd spoke, Pang Shanze's face became uglier. In the end, he was so angry that his face turned purple.

The gap between a quasi-saint and a martial saint is the gap between earth and heaven.

A mere quasi-saint is no more than an ant. Under normal circumstances, he is not worthy of the attention of a high and mighty Martial Saint. But now that this rumor is spreading, I am afraid that even the influence of a Martial Saint is no more than this.

But unfortunately, this series of defeats and rumors have affected the army, and he can no longer ignore it.

Suddenly, the sound of wings breaking through the air came into the ears, interrupting the meeting in the hall.

In full view of everyone, in just a moment, a white carrier pigeon with a golden beak and claws suddenly spread its wings and flew into the hall.

As the carrier pigeon was flying, golden rays of light burst out from its body like the rising sun, accompanying it into the hall and finally landing on the table in front of Pang Shanze.

"Cuckoo!"

The carrier pigeon folded its wings and walked freely, looking at everyone in the hall with its eyes, emitting a sense of holiness and dignity.

"It is your Majesty's carrier pigeon."

Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall was shocked, even Pang Shanze at the table showed a shocked expression.

"How could it be... Could it be that even His Majesty was alarmed by this matter?"

Pang Shanze was filled with doubt and confusion, and quickly took out an exquisite golden test paper from the pigeon's leg. It was covered with densely written small characters.

Pang Shanze read along the lines, his expression changing constantly, but when he saw the last line, his expression suddenly calmed down.

"Okay, all of you, please step aside."

Pang Shanze waved his hand, his tone calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened here before.

"I will take care of the matter of the Bai family's youngest son. There is no need for you to interfere."

"This is."

Everyone took orders.

……

At the same time, in Hanyang City, when Bai Qi and others arrived, Han Wuji had already prepared a feast with wine and food, and personally led the generals and tens of thousands of troops in the city to welcome Bai Qi and others' triumphant return at the city gate. The scene was extremely grand.

After encircling and suppressing Lei Tiexin, Han Wuji had actually returned to Hanyang City. He then went deep into the territory of Dayu Kingdom and destroyed three bases. The subsequent operations were actually led by Bai Qi and others.

"Mr. Bai, thank you for your hard work. I have submitted a memorial to commend your achievements. I believe that the imperial court will arrive soon."

From a distance, Han Wuji smiled widely, raised his hands high and said:

"Mr. Bai, congratulations!"

"Thank you, sir."

Bai Qi said.

Even though he knew that Han Wuji belonged to the old martial arts lineage and was not as easy to deal with as he appeared, even Bai Qi could not find fault with this etiquette.

In this way, the entire Hanyang City and the army celebrated for a whole day and night, toasting to this great victory and making it very lively.

Late at night, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Bai Qi was very sober, and he came to the top of the wall alone with a pot of sake.

Tonight, the moonlight is bright and the stars are dim.

Bai Qi drank alone while gazing at the moon, which was a unique experience.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, I didn't feel the slightest bit of coolness when the night wind blew on my body.

"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date."

"Raise your cup to the bright moon, and drink together as three people."

As he drank, Bai Qi sat alone on the wall, feeling inspired to write poetry. He held the wine pot and began to recite poems.

"What a wonderful way to raise a cup to the bright moon, and drink together as a trio."

Behind him, a familiar and pleasant voice sounded, accompanied by bursts of faint fragrance, and a graceful figure walked slowly in front of Bai Qi.

It was Xu Xuansu.

"Haha, after fighting alongside you for so long and witnessing your talent in martial arts, I almost forgot your identity as the Little Literary Saint of the Great Yuan Dynasty."

Xu Xuansu smiled slightly and praised sincerely:

"No wonder even Zhu Zi highly praised you. This sentence alone is enough to leave a name in the poetry world."

Bai Qi's face turned slightly red when he heard this, and he answered modestly: "Miss Xu, you are too kind. I was just reciting it casually, and the poem has no deep meaning."

Xu Xuansu suddenly put away his smile and asked seriously, "Bai Qi, is there something on your mind? Ever since you returned to Hanyang City, I felt that you were worried and always sad."

Bai Qi was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Xuansu to be so sharp.

"Thoughts? Oh, Xuansu, I didn't expect you to care about me so much. You are right, I do have something on my mind."

He sighed softly, a sly look flashed in his eyes, but he pretended to be melancholy:

"The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers have fallen? My only worry now is that I have been in the army for so long, and I don't have a beautiful woman to accompany me during the long journey. Xuansu, are you willing to relieve my worries?"

Swish!

Xu Xuansu's face suddenly turned red, as if it was burning.

By the time he realized what was happening, Xu Xuansu became furious.

"roll!"

Xu Xuansu suddenly slapped Bai Qi with his palm with a bang.

At such a close distance, Bai Qi was caught off guard and immediately screamed, then was blown dozens of feet away by Xu Xuansu like a fallen leaf.

Seeing Xu Xuansu getting angry and embarrassed, Bai Qi didn't dare to joke with her anymore.

"Xuan Su, do you feel something is wrong?"

Bai Qi suddenly spoke, finally expressing what was on his mind.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Xu Xuansu showed a questioning look.

"Do you feel that our journey has been too smooth and successful?"

Bai Qi asked.

"Why do you ask that?"

Xu Xuansu frowned, not quite understanding what Bai Qi meant.

Is it that success is bad and failure is good?

Bai Qi shook his head.

There are some things...that I can never explain clearly to Xu Xuansu.

"Do you think Han Wuji is too easy to get along with and too cooperative, and that something is wrong?"

Xu Xuansu suddenly spoke, his eyes full of wisdom.

"Ah."

Bai Qi nodded seriously:

"We belong to the new martial arts and the old martial arts, and even if we are not being tripped up, we shouldn't be working together like this. Normally, he would have allowed Wei Shenfeng and I to act together and leave Hanyang City, but what he did was far beyond his responsibility."

"Do you think he is planning something?"

Xu Xuansu looked thoughtful.
