Book of Disaster

Hao Qianyu was startled and lowered his head quickly:

"It was my fault."

"Humph, you are right, but do you know there is a saying... the emperor is far away!"

Xiao Tieheng said coldly.

"Blood Moon is the result of the court's negligence, which allowed those evil cults to get in. What does it have to do with us? Why should we obey a brat who is still wet behind the ears, not to mention that he is from... the Xinwu lineage!"

Beside him, Hao Qianyu, the deputy general of Daqian Fort, also smiled sinisterly when he heard this, with a hint of dangerous light in his eyes.

That’s right, the new and old forces are now competing fiercely in the military. Bai Qi and his men belong to the new forces, but Xinwu Hou and Hao Qianyu are typical of the old forces.

Not to mention that Xiao Tieheng and Duke Ji were close personal friends, but not many people knew about this.

"Also, the Crown Prince's Guard has sent a letter as well. How are we going to deal with him?"

Hao Qianyu said on the side:

"Since he dares to come, we must of course entertain him well."

A sharp light flashed in Xiao Tieheng's eyes.

The court does not recognize the rights and wrongs of the conflict between the new Wu and the old Wu. Xiao Tieheng belongs to the old forces and the emperor is far away. How could he let Bai Qi go back easily?

Letting a tiger go back into the mountains will bring endless disasters.

Right now, the Xinwu forces have occupied too many positions in the military. The Azure Dragon Army Commander and the Vermillion Bird God of War are the best examples. No one wants another existence of this level to appear in the Xinwu lineage.

Xiao Tieheng was even more unwilling.

——In recent years, some people have discussed changing the commander of the Daqianbao Forward Base.

"...But sir, the youngest son of the Bai family is carrying out the emperor's orders and has also received orders from the military. If he dies here, I'm afraid..."

Hao Qianyu hesitated to speak.

In the past ten years of the Yuan Dynasty, there has never been a more dazzling new star than Bai Qi. If he can be killed, it will inevitably deal a major blow to the new martial arts forces.

Even let the Bai family be directly removed from the list.

——The Bai family cannot be supported by just one old man.

However, the law is as strong as a mountain, and even the old martial arts forces dare not deal with Bai Qi openly.

"Humph, you are so stupid. Who told you to attack him in Daqian Fort?"

Xiao Tieheng said coldly.

"Have you forgotten why he came?"

"what?"

Hao Qianyu was stunned for a moment, then he understood something and smiled sinisterly.

"My lord, what you mean is..."

"Haven't you already thought of that?"

Xiao Tieheng said calmly.

"My subordinate understands!"

Hao Qianyu couldn't help but laugh, and bowed his body and said:

"Leave this matter to me. I will definitely not let you down."

Of course, there is no way to take action against Bai Qi in Daqian Fort, but it is different in the new world. If Bai Qi dies "accidentally" in the new world, even the imperial court and the military... I'm afraid they can't be blamed.

Xiao Tieheng waved his hand, and Hao Qianyu understood and quickly retreated.

Next, he will be very busy.

At the same time, on the other side——

Clang!

Accompanied by a huge steel roar, the huge steel gate of Daqian Fort immediately opened in front of everyone.

Bai Qi took the lead and was the first to walk in. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he immediately felt a tremendous force blowing towards him like an ocean, and the void around him suddenly sank.

"this--"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Bai Qi was still surprised when he actually stepped in here.

He has now refined the Ring of Truth and with the blessing of these magical instruments, his mental power has reached six thousand. The huge mental power makes his perception far beyond that of ordinary people. As soon as he entered here, Bai Qi felt the huge aura of the magic circle.

Throughout the underground of Daqian Fort, there are densely packed, large and small, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of various magic arrays, and powerful restrictive forces are spread throughout the void.

As far as Bai Qi could see, through the misty fog, all the walls, flagpoles, and even the ground in the entire city were covered with numerous mysterious inscriptions and formations, arming the Daqian Fortress to an unimaginable degree.

Bai Qi's eyes swept over the guards in Daqian Fort and he was shocked to find that the armor on them was quite different from the standard armor of the Yuan Dynasty. There were some special patterns, formations and inscriptions on the armor.

Bai Qi felt it slightly and immediately understood that this was specifically aimed at Cthulhu.

After being stationed in the New World for decades, the soldiers at these forward bases have obviously developed certain methods to restrain the Cthulhu creatures.

"Something's wrong."

At this moment, Xu Xuansu's voice sounded directly in Bai Qi's mind.

"You noticed it too?"

Bai Qi remained calm and responded through his mental power.

As soon as the two entered here, they observed the surroundings silently.

Everything seemed normal in the Daqian Fort, and everyone was doing their duty. However, after they entered here, Bai Qi clearly noticed that there were people secretly looking at him, and there were people like that in every place.

That look was not one of normal curiosity, but one that contained a hint of hostility.

"There's no need to tell them for now. Let's see what the situation is and act accordingly."

Bai Qi said.

Xu Xuansu nodded imperceptibly, knowing that Bai Qi was referring to Zhang Chi and Zhou Yixian.

Zhang Chi is a sharp shooter with extremely keen perception, so he probably can’t hide it, but Zhou Yixian definitely hasn’t noticed it yet.

"Ah, it's so cold! This place is really weird. Let's find a place to sit down and have a cup of hot tea."

At this moment, Zhou Yixian couldn't help shivering and screaming.

"Hey, is there no one to entertain us in such a big Qianbao? We are sent by the imperial court!"

However, before the voice fell, a voice was heard the next moment:

"Haha, is this General Wu'an and Miss Xu? I have been waiting here for a long time. Everything has been arranged. Please follow me."

Before the voice fell, a man wearing the standard armor of Daqian Fort immediately walked out from the mist.

Bai Qi heard this and looked at Xu Xuansu beside him, but Zhou Yixian behind him couldn't help it:

"Haha, great, lead the way!"

As he said that, he rushed straight past Bai Qi and Xu Xuansu.

A moment later, led by the general of Daqian Fort, Bai Qi, Xu Xuansu, Zhang Chi and Zhou Yixian quickly entered the hall decorated in an ancient style.

After everyone sat down, soldiers soon came in and served tea.

"By the way, where is Lord Xiao?"

Bai Qi suddenly spoke.

The two came here in the capacity of the imperial court. Under normal circumstances, they should be received by the defender of Daqian Fort, the new Marquis Xiao Tieheng, rather than a lower-level officer.

"Hehe, please forgive me, sir. Our master is feeling a little unwell. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet these days. We can only meet another day."

The general of Daqian Fort said.

"This tea is so cold!"

At this moment, Zhang Chi also put down the teacup in his hand.
