Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 864 - 368: Spear Point Stirring Wind and Rain, Beauty Like Jade and Spear Like a Dragon (Part 2)

"Master, what is this?"

"Something delicious." Lu Jin'an glanced at Zhiyu: "Do you want something sweet or salty?"

"Sweet!" Zhiyu immediately raised his hand.

Lu Jin'an sighed, sure enough, Zhiyu was a fan of sweets.

So Lu Jin'an ordered one bowl of sweet and one bowl of salty, then took five pieces of fried dough sticks.

After sitting down, Lu Jin'an added some leek flowers and chili oil to his bowl, then looked at Zhiyu who was eating happily across from him, and tempted, "Zhiyu, try mine, it's also delicious."

Zhiyu looked up at Lu Jin'an, then scooped a spoonful of Lu Jin'an's tofu pudding into his mouth, shook his head and said, "Sweet is better."

"Okay."

Lu Jin'an gave up, raised his mask slightly, and finally tasted the long-missed tofu pudding.

"Master, Zhiyu wants another bowl."

Oil stick in hand, Zhiyu blinked and said.

"Waiter, two more bowls."

"Alright!"

"Long live Master!"

After eating three bowls, Zhiyu patted his small belly: "Master, Zhiyu is full."

Lu Jin'an, who had finished earlier, placed the copper coins on the table, stood up, and said, "Let's go."

The carriage headed south out of the city gate. Zhiyu curiously asked, "Master, Master, why haven't we been learning Spatial Power lately?"

"Because we need to learn to fight first."

"I see..."

"So, Zhiyu, go stand on top of the carriage to practice, and don't fall off, okay?"

"Okay~"

Zhiyu nimbly climbed to the top of the carriage to practice, while Lu Jin'an glanced towards the army camp with the 'Qin' Standard Banner in the distance.

After traveling for a while, Lu Jin'an stopped the carriage in the woods and said to Zhiyu, "Practice here, don't move, I'll be back soon, okay?"

"Got it!" Zhiyu nodded vigorously: "Zhiyu listens to Master very well!"

"Good boy~"

Lu Jin'an glanced at Iron Hoof Cloud: "Keep an eye on him too." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The white horse nodded.

After settling down, Lu Jin'an stealthily entered the Qin Army Camp with stride like a dragon and a tiger, quickly finding the main tent of the commander of this Qin army.

Last night, while walking through the streets, he heard that this Qin army was tasked with taking in the refugees fleeing south on the orders of Dongfang Xinglan, and he wanted to see if he could 'inquire' about the specific whereabouts of Dongfang Xinglan.

When crossing the Physical Body Tribulation back then, the rules merged into his physique, so now Lu Jin'an can accomplish it with Vigorous Force when using Be the Same As the Light.

Thus, he boldly stood at the side of the tent, and indeed heard some useful information.

Since opening the Tanlang Palace, his luck has been increasingly good.

"General, we've already saved quite a few southern fleeing civilians on His Highness's orders. Why do you still seem unhappy?"

"I'm just worried about His Highness." Hong Ying said softly: "Although His Highness has made full preparations, who knows if Song Zhong has truly betrayed..."

"Subordinate thinks you are overthinking. Although His Highness has just joined the ranks of the Eighteen Martial Saints, we have seen her strength. It's definitely not as simple as it appears.

As long as the Martial God doesn't appear, and those bastards from the Observatory don't make a move, they pose no threat to His Highness!"

"Yes, and we've already screened out any suspicious personnel. It's impossible for the bastards from the Observatory to infiltrate, unless the State Preceptor comes personally, but is that possible? The State Preceptor can't leave Shengjing!"

"As for Song Zhong, worst case scenario, even if he really rebels, or brings Martial Saint experts with him, he's still no match for His Highness!"

Song Zhong?

Hearing this name, Lu Jin'an was slightly surprised. Since heading south, he knew Song Zhong was currently the Commander of the Jinyi Guard, a confidant of the Crown Prince, who under the guise of purging dissidents had killed many royal members, meritorious ministers, and generals. Could this person be a spy arranged by Dongfang Xinglan beside the Crown Prince?

But it's said that the Jinyi Guard led by Song Zhong has a very poor reputation among the people. The Crown Prince overseeing the country shouldn't be foolish enough to be unaware of the public's dissatisfaction, right?

Moreover, was Song Zhong actually arranged by Dongfang Xinglan or was it an adaptation by the Crown Prince in the capital?

As Lu Jin'an pondered, the voice of the female commander inside the tent resumed: "That's true, but ever since leaving Jiangde City, I've had an inexplicable feeling of unease..."

"How about you go back first; if you return now, there's still time to reach Dragon Valley Ridge."

"I'll think about it..."

Outside the tent, hearing this, Lu Jin'an decided not to listen any further. Leaving the Qin Army Camp, he quickly returned to the woods, patted Zhiyu's obedient little head, then lifted her onto the horse, leaving the carriage behind.

Unfolding the map to confirm the location of Dragon Valley Ridge, they headed southeast.

······

Jianyuan State, Jiangde City.

Clad in armor and wearing a face mask, Dongfang Xinglan led fifty horsemen out of the South City Gate, galloping directly toward Dragon Valley Ridge in the rain.

Fifty li out of the city lies the famous Dragon Valley Ridge of Jianyuan State. It is rumored that the Great Ancestor of the previous dynasty was born here, and at the time of birth, Dragon Qi colored a thousand li, thus began the thousand years of national destiny for Da Qian.

But up to today, many versions of the legend of Dragon Valley Ridge have appeared, after all, the Eastern Dynasty has been established for 4449 years, and since the average lifespan of the dynasty doesn't reach a hundred years, many deeds have become unverifiable.

As evening approached, Dongfang Xinglan was the first to arrive at the perimeter of Dragon Valley Ridge. The pouring rain added a few bleak chills to the serene Dragon Valley Ridge.

"Whoa—"

Dongfang Xinglan tugged on the reins, not entering Dragon Valley Ridge.
