Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

Mysterious mirror.

Prince Zhenbei and Xiao Rong from the Demon Suppression Division stood side by side.

One looked into the distance with an expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking.

A bored man wiping his weapons.

The other two members of the Demon-Suppressing Division.

Anguo Gongzi Bai Ping still stood in the same place, maintaining his original posture, looking up at the sky, like a sculpture.

The man carrying the coffin sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and concentrating, as if he didn't care about what was happening in the outside world.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the time of a stick of incense passed.

Everyone else had already run several miles away.

The four of them remained where they were, motionless.

Even the chain demon envoy Sun Tongxing noticed something was wrong and cast doubtful glances at the four of them.

In front of the high platform.

When the nobles saw this scene, they started talking: "What's going on with the four of them? Why don't they move?"

"Could it be that you feel that your level is too high? If you participate in Xia Miao, even if you win, it will be a weak victory?"

"Holding the sun, moon and stars, there is no one like me in the world. Well, in my opinion, that boy from the Lao Bai family may really think so." Duke Ding smoothed his beard and looked serious.

An Guogong's old face twitched, he glanced at him, lowered his head again, and ate his own food.

"It's understandable that the three people from the Zhenmo Division have such thoughts. A martial artist should have such a rebellious spirit. But Prince Zhenbei is only in the eighth rank, so why doesn't he move? Could it be that he also thinks of his own strength? Too strong, is it impossible to win by joining Xia Miao?"

The words fell.

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Liu Yunmeng raised his eyebrows after hearing this, stared at the person who spoke, and raised his voice: "Ren Ping was seriously injured a few days ago, and he came to participate in Xia Miao before he recovered. For this reason, I respect him as a Man, unlike some people who talk behind people’s backs, it’s so boring!”

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone fell silent again.

Princess Yunhe spoke twice in a row, both to protect Prince Zhenbei.

It seems that there are rumors that Prince Zhenbei once defended Princess Yunhe from a knife, and Yun and Princess secretly promised to be inseparable.

I just don’t know how His Majesty views this matter.

anyway.

Since Prince Zhenbei came to Beijing, His Majesty's attitude towards the reduction of vassals seems to have changed greatly.

Among the civil and military officials, many had a blood feud with the King of Zhenbei and had endured it for more than ten years just waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

Now that the issue of reducing vassal status has been put on the table, His Majesty may not be able to stop it even if he wants to.

For a time, the martial artists had many thoughts.

Yunhe's side.

The third prince, King Jin, turned to look at her, with a smile on his face and a gentle tone: "Young Master, it was just a casual comment, so Yun He doesn't need to worry about it."

Liu Yunmeng said calmly: "I just said it casually, why does Prince Jin have to talk so much."

"."

The smile on King Jin's face faltered, and he was speechless for a moment.

Good guy.

For the sake of Prince Zhenbei, he showed no mercy to his three emperor brothers.

It seems that I really can’t mention the name of Prince Zhenbei anymore later.

The honorable nobles thought this and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, according to previous years' experience, someone should kill the demon clan within a stick of incense. Why has no one encountered the demon clan so far this year?"

"Yes, even this mysterious mirror can't illuminate a few monsters, and I don't know where they are hiding."

"This year's group of monsters is indeed different from previous years. When they entered the hunting ground, they didn't want to escape or take revenge. They just hid everywhere. They didn't think about how long they could hide if the hunting ground was so big. ?”

On the dragon chair on the high platform.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at the picture in the mysterious mirror, and for some reason, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

After thinking for a few seconds, he looked at the eunuch Wang Zheng beside him and heard the message: "Send someone back to Beijing and ask Xu Ruxian to come immediately."

In the capital, there are only three extraordinary monks in the imperial court.

Qin Tianjian oversees Zheng.

Sacrifice wine in the holy courtyard.

The censor of Zuodu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Among the three, only Xu Ruxian, the censor of Zuodu, was able to leave the capital.

"Your Majesty, something happened to Wu Sheng Mountain?" Wang Zheng also heard the message.

Emperor Zhaowu's face was solemn: "It's hard to say, but you should be prepared."

"My slave understands."

The king's white, beardless face was equally solemn. He looked at the eunuch Bingbi beside him and ordered: "Go back to the capital and invite Mr. Xu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the hunting ground. Say that you are summoned by your majesty."

"yes!"

Eunuch Bingbi responded and quietly retreated.

The edge of the hunting ground.

Ren Pingsheng looked ahead and found that he couldn't see anything. He looked back at Bai Ping and Murong, and poked Xiao Rongxue with his elbow: "Why don't they move?"

Xiao Rongxue had almost wiped the knife, glanced at him, and curled her lips: "Both of them are not normal. Who knows what they are thinking."

It also makes sense.

Ren Pingsheng stopped caring about them and said, "Can you hear the movement in the woods?"

Xiao Rongxue shook her head.

Ren Pingsheng said: "For one stick of incense, there was no sound of fighting or fighting in the forest. Is this normal?"

Xiao Rongxue glanced at him and said calmly: "Maybe the distance is too far and the sound cannot be transmitted, or maybe there is no fight at all."

Ren Pingsheng thought for a few seconds and made a decision: "After half an hour, if there is no big movement in the forest, we will go in and take a look. First, we will see if we can find any fish that have slipped through the net at the edge, and then go deeper into the hunting ground. ”

"good."

Xiao Rongxue didn't pay much attention to Xia Miao this time. As long as Ren Pingsheng wasn't in a hurry, she had nothing to worry about.

not far away.

Bai Ping glanced sideways at Ren Pingsheng and Xiao Rongxue, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, why are these two people still here and not planning to compete for Xia Miao's ranking?

now.

He really wanted to rush into the hunting ground, crush the demon clan with the power of thunder, and tell the world that he, Bai Ping, was a stunning genius!

but.

Ren Pingsheng, Xiao Rongxue, and that Murong Zhui Feng couldn't move.

He always felt that if he rushed out first, he would appear to be too eager for quick success and lack the grace to look down upon the world.

If others have already started hunting the demon clan.

But he waited quietly and came from behind, which is more convincing.

otherwise.

With his level 5 strength, winning the first place is only natural and not surprising enough.

all in all.

Xia Miao had no difficulty with him this time.

In this case, you should set up difficulties yourself, so that you can highlight your unique personality.

not far away.

Murong Zhuifeng, who was carrying the coffin and meditating cross-legged, did not move for a simple reason.

He had just finished hunting an evil cultivator yesterday and was currently recuperating.

To him, whether it was the reward from the top three Xia Miao or the high-ranking official and generous salary promised by the emperor, they were all external things and not worth mentioning.

In fact, he joined the Demon Suppressing Division just because of a promise he made back then.

After fulfilling his promise, he will continue on his journey to find a way to save the Taoist couple.

Regardless of their purpose, the four of them stayed at the edge of the hunting ground and waited quietly.

At this moment.

The location is three or four miles away from the edge of the hunting ground.

Three young men in well-dressed clothes, holding swords in hand, stood in a triangular position and advanced slowly.

As they walked, they chatted in low voices.

"The prey this year has learned to be smarter. I still remember last year when I first entered the hunting ground, a few little monsters came to my door. This year, I walked three or four miles and didn't meet any of them."

"Not only did we not meet each other, but neither did anyone else. Otherwise, why was there no sound of fighting at all?"

"Indeed, there is something wrong with being quiet. Let's all be careful not to capsize in the gutter."

"We are three seventh-grade people with magic weapons on us. Even if we encounter a fifth-grade demon clan, we can escape with our lives. What do we have to worry about?"

"That is, if you ask me, there is little movement this year, probably because there are less prey being thrown into the hunting ground. If we want to hit the top ten, we have to be one step ahead. Our progress is too slow. We need to speed up to not be overtaken by others. "

The strong young man walking in front finished speaking and quickened his pace.

Behind him were two young men, one tall and one short.

The taller one followed without any hesitation.

The short one looked troubled. He stopped talking for a while and then quickened his pace.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

The three young men walked around in the forest for thirty or forty miles, but they still didn't encounter a single demon clan.

At first, they were very vigilant, stopping and observing for a few seconds every few steps to make sure there was no danger before moving on.

Now, after not being able to find the demon clan for a long time, the three of them became more and more impatient and began to run rampant in the forest. Even the original triangular formation was no longer maintained. They almost went their own way and were scattered.

"Damn it! What's going on? I haven't been able to find one for half an hour. Did the person who locked the demon tower forget to release the demon clan?"

"That's right! For such a long time, let alone the demon clan, I haven't even seen a hair, so that's it. There isn't even the slightest movement of fighting nearby. Those who don't know better think that we are here for an outing."

When the short young man heard the complaints of the two people, his uneasiness became more intense. He hesitated for a moment and then warned: "Please keep your voice down, so as not to alarm others."

"Hit your ass"

The strong young man had an irritable temperament, frowned, and wanted to curse. Before he could finish his words, he heard rustling sounds coming from above.

He raised his eyes subconsciously.

He saw a pair of faint vertical pupils staring at him coldly among the dense branches and leaves.

In an instant.

A chill swept through his body, and the hair on his neck stood on end.

The young man in fine clothes shrank his pupils, clenched his sword tightly, and subconsciously wanted to call out to his teammates.

"There is a demon."

Just as he opened his mouth, the next second, a figure fell from the branches and leaves.

It was a pear-shaped wild cat. Its furry little face was covered with horrific scars, and it looked extremely terrifying.

A pair of sharp claws were like long swords, rapidly enlarging in his sight.

"Meow!"

Accompanied by a cat meow.

Several scratches appeared on the chest of the muscular young man.

The cat demon's attack speed was far beyond his imagination.

With his strength, there is no way to avoid it!

"It's Grade 6!"

This thought came to the mind of the strong young man, his mind went blank, and he subconsciously wanted to escape.

As soon as I took a step, I suddenly felt an unbearable pain in my chest.

Looking down, he saw that the armor he was wearing was torn to pieces by sharp claws, and blood oozed from the scratches on his chest, which gradually spread. In less than three breaths, the flesh and blood rolled around, revealing the dense white bones.

At this moment, the strong young man realized that he had been disemboweled by the cat demon.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The life-saving measures originally prepared were not used at all.

"It's over."

The strong young man's face was ashen, and this idea came to his mind. At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, he turned to look at his two companions.

Not far away, two companions stood there, swaying slightly.

Look upward.

There was a lot of blood.

The head has long gone to nowhere.

...They were also killed.

boom!

The next second.

The three corpses hit the ground together, causing a burst of smoke and dust.

"Meow!"

The cat demon turned and glanced at the other two demon clansmen. Without any communication, it rose into the air, climbed up the tree, and disappeared into the dense jungle after a few breaths.

The same goes for the other two demon clans.

Less than ten breaths.

The three demon clans have disappeared.

The three corpses lay quietly on the ground, and the blood gradually spread and stained the soil red.

Almost at the same time.

The same hunting occurs in every corner of the hunting grounds.

The earthy smell of the first light rain, mixed with the rich smell of blood, gradually spread in the forest.

In front of the high platform.

The royal family and nobles looked at the scenes shown in the mysterious mirror, their eyes widened, their mouths slightly opened, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

In previous years, the demon tribe had always been scattered troops, running for their lives individually. This was the first time that they had formed groups to ambush and counter-hunt like this year.

Is this still a monster with a bad temper and a foolhardy character?

There was deathly silence all around.

Silence fell.

Time passes minute by minute.

Someone finally realized what had happened. His eyes were red and he was staring at the mystery mirror. His body was trembling slightly and he gritted his teeth: "I'm going to cut them into pieces!"

The speaker was Dingbohou.

He just witnessed his son being killed by a cat demon.

The grief and anger have reached the extreme!

His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

"Why is this so!"

"When you release the monsters, why don't you release them in a scattered manner?"

The crowd was furious, some were cursing the demon clan, some were questioning the demon-locking envoy, and most of them were just venting their emotions.

In fact.

There were many honorable nobles who witnessed their brothers and daughters being killed by demons, but few spoke.

Until this moment, most of the nobles could not believe that their relatives were killed by the monsters so easily.

At this moment.

Their minds were blank, their ears were ringing, they were immersed in the sudden changes and were in a daze for a moment.

After a while.

When everyone reacted, they were all extremely sad and angry.

Honorable.

There are no relatives or friends in the hunting grounds.

Or relatives and friends escaped disaster.

His face was solemn and he was deep in thought.

Although Xia Miao has a rule, once you enter the hunting ground, you have to take responsibility for your life and death.

However, with so many people suddenly dead, it was impossible for Xia Miao to continue.

I don’t know how His Majesty plans to handle this matter or how to appease His Majesty.

Think so.

Duke An Guo, Duke Ding and others subconsciously looked at Emperor Zhaowu on the high platform.

Emperor Zhaowu frowned.

All of them looked hesitant.

In the end, Duke Dingguo stood up, looked at Emperor Zhaowu, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I believe that such changes in Xia Miao should be done."

I just started speaking, but I haven't finished speaking yet.

Then Emperor Zhaowu stood up from the dragon throne and said sternly: "Wang Zheng, come with me!"

After saying that, he rose into the sky and headed straight into the distance.

The dragon robe flutters in the wind and makes a hunting sound. It is so majestic that people can't help but feel awe.

The next second.

Wearing a python robe, the eunuch Wang Zheng, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, did not hesitate at all. He rose into the air, and his body turned into a crimson stream of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"."

When An Guogong, Ding Guogong, Jin Wang and other royal family members saw this scene, their pupils narrowed rapidly and they stood there blankly as if struck by lightning, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Without the help of external objects, he can fly in the air at such a fast speed.

There is no doubt that only extraordinary monks can do it.

Although His Majesty has never shown his own strength, with the luck of the dynasty, it is not difficult to cultivate to the extraordinary level, and everyone is not surprised by this.

What is surprising is that Wang Zheng, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is also an extraordinary monk!

"The Holy One and the prince are really secretive." Some people couldn't help but sigh.

After feeling emotional.

Everyone was in a daze again.

Your Majesty and the prince, where are you going?

Although such a shocking change occurred in the hunting ground, no one expected it.

But you won’t let the Holy One take action personally, right?

not to mention.

The direction that the Holy Emperor and the prince left was not the direction of the hunting ground.

correct.

Where are the Holy One and the prince going?

Thinking of this, everyone looked in the direction where the crimson streamer disappeared.

"That's Wu Sheng Mountain?!"

Looking at the overlapping mountain peaks in the distance, shrouded in thick fog.

Everyone's hearts instantly sank to the bottom, and an idea suddenly popped up in their minds.

"Is it possible that something happened to Wu Sheng Mountain?"

If that's the case.

Everything that happened in the hunting ground was nothing unexpected.

After all, even if all the noble disciples in the hunting ground died, it would not have much impact on the Great Zhou in a short period of time. It would just be a talent gap in the next few years.

But something happened to Wu Shengshan.

The entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the entire human race, will encounter a turmoil unprecedented in a century!

Under the high platform.

King Jin looked at the Wusheng Mountain in the distance, his face was gloomy, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

An Guogong, Ding Guogong and other princes stood there, their faces solemn, their minds spinning rapidly, thinking about what they should do.

Their cultivation level is only the fourth or fifth level, and they cannot intervene in the battles between extraordinary monks. Even if something happens to Wusheng Mountain, their presence will only cause chaos.

Think about it.

It is better to stay here, deal with the changes in the hunting ground, and wait and see what happens.

This is the thought.

Duke Dingguo looked at the King of Jin and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the King of Jin, your Majesty is not here. Something happened in the hunting ground. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it."

As soon as these words came out.

The nobles all looked at King Jin.

Xungui, whose relatives were still at the hunting ground, immediately agreed: "If there is an accident at the hunting ground, Xia Miao should be stopped immediately, otherwise more than half of our young talents in Dazhou will be lost here!"

"Xia Miao's rules were made under the normal circumstances of the monster clan. The monster clan in the hunting ground is obviously not normal now. Please ask King Jin to make the decision to terminate Xia Miao and let us enter the hunting ground, surround and kill the monster clan, and rescue me, the great Zhou talent. !”

The nobles looked anxious and agreed one after another.

aside.

Liu Yunmeng was worried about Ren Pingsheng in the hunting ground, and worried about his father who had suddenly left. He was upset and shouted loudly: "The King of Jin is not the prince. He asked you not to go, so you can just watch your loved ones here." Killed? I have the final say, Xia Miao will stop immediately and go to the hunting ground to save people!"

The words fell.

There was silence for a moment.

The next second.

Everyone no longer hesitated, got up and headed to the hunting ground!

When Liu Yunmeng saw this scene, he thought that Ren Shengsheng was still in the hunting ground. He felt anxious and wanted to go with the nobles.

Then I thought about it, I was considered to be at the bottom among the eighth-grade monks, and going to the hunting ground would only cause more trouble.

Moreover, Ren is still wandering on the edge of the hunting ground in his life, and there are three people from the Demon Suppressor beside him, so there should be no danger in the short term.

After hesitating for a while, he stayed where he was, looking at the mysterious mirror for a while and at Wusheng Mountain for a while, with anxiety written all over his little face.

side.

King Jin wanted to take this opportunity to show off, but he was interrupted by Yun He before he could speak.

In the end, he failed to achieve the limelight and appeared to be indecisive.

A feeling of anger arose in his heart, and he took a deep breath before calming down. He took a deep look at Yun He, with a hint of evil in his eyes.

Come to see Xia Miao's martial arts, most of them are fifth or sixth grade. Their actual combat ability is not the top among the same realm, but they are also among the best.

They go into the hunting ground together, and no matter how hidden the monsters are, they can still pick them out and kill them one by one.

certainly.

Surrounding and killing the demon clan is only the next step.

The most important thing at the moment is to rescue the children who have become prey in the hunting ground.

The high platform for viewing summer seedlings is not too far from the hunting grounds.

It takes less than two sticks of incense.

A group of nobles wearing robes and riding horses appeared outside the hunting ground.

The leaders were the old and strong Duke Dingguo and the prime minister Anguo.

Both of them are at the fourth level and can run faster than riding horses, but they are still used to riding horses.

The rest of the nobles fell behind them, following closely.

Only Dingbohou rides a horse as fast as the two princes.

"Damn the demon tribe, I will peel off their skin and cramp them today, and cut them into pieces with a thousand swords!"

Dingbohou's eyes were red, and he shouted sharply while waving his whip.

The other martial arts heroes, especially those whose relatives died tragically, all have the same mood.

At this moment.

They just want to massacre the monsters in the hunting ground and vent their grief and anger.

嘡嘡嘡嘡嘡——

Dozens of horses galloped all the way, and the horses' hooves stepped on the soil, making a dull sound.

After a while, Jin Yiwei's figure appeared in front.

They are responsible for guarding the periphery of the hunting grounds to prevent the demons from escaping.

Seeing the hunting ground ahead, Dingbohou couldn't help but picture his son's tragic death in his mind. He gritted his teeth and waved his riding crop again.

at the same time.

Duke Dingguo beside him seemed to have noticed something. His eyes narrowed, he reined in the reins and shouted: "Stop!"

The horse under his crotch let out a loud neigh and stopped firmly in place.

boom!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the shrill cry of horses resounded throughout the world.

Everyone looked up.

Then he saw that the horse under Dingbohou's crotch seemed to have hit a hard wall, his head was smashed, his neck was crooked, and he fell on the spot.

Dingbohou also fell to the ground, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

"Hush!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and hurriedly reined in the reins.

After a while.

The horses stopped one after another.

Ding Guo Gong and An Guo Gong dismounted from their horses, stepped forward quickly, stretched out their hands to touch the air in front of them, and sure enough they touched an invisible wall.

"It's a formation."

Duke Dingguo immediately made a judgment, looked at the Jin Yiwei not far away, and asked sternly: "You are on duty here, can you see anyone approaching?"

The royal guards had no idea what was going on, and looked confused. They shook their heads and said, "As for the Duke of Guo, except for the Duke of Guo and all the princes and uncles, I didn't see anyone else."

Hear this.

Duke Dingguo and Duke An looked at each other, and they could see anxiety and worry in each other's eyes.

We don’t care about when this formation appeared or who arranged it.

Just talk about why this formation appears here.

No doubt to isolate the hunting grounds from the outside world.

You don't need to think about why they are isolated. It is to hunt down the noble disciples who participated in Xia Miao.

"My lord, what should we do next?"

behind.

Xungui, whose relatives were still in the hunting ground, obviously thought of this and asked anxiously.

Duke Dingguo, who was the oldest and had the most experience, thought for a few seconds, looked at the many nobles behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Linjiang, hurry back to the capital and ask Qintian Supervisor to send his disciples to solve this problem. Formation!"

"good!"

Linjiang Marquis did not hesitate at all, pulled the reins and rushed to the capital.

"The rest of you are divided into two teams, go around the hunting ground and see if you can find a place to break the formation!"

The nobles could not think of a better way for a while, and they were silent for a few seconds, and nodded one after another.

"Just do as the Duke said!"

The voice fell.

The nobles were divided into two teams and went around the hunting ground.

Time passed.

In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.

The nobles had already gone around the hunting ground and found nothing.

A noble thought that his son was always at risk of being hunted by the demon tribe, and his face was anxious: "What should I do?"

The rest of the nobles were also like this, some were sad and angry, some were anxious, and some were desperate.

Seeing this scene, Duke Dingguo hesitated for a few seconds and spoke again: "Marquis Dingbo, Marquis Jinyang, you stay with me, and the rest of you go back to the high platform first."

The names he mentioned were all nobles who had no relatives participating in Xia Miao, or whose relatives had been killed.

Those who were not selected were all nobles whose relatives were still alive in the hunting ground.

The reason for letting them return to the high platform was very simple.

There was a mysterious mirror on the high platform, so they could see their relatives more often. To put it bluntly, even if their relatives were hunted by the monsters, they could see them for the last time.

Although it was a bit cruel, it was not a bad thing for the court to let them remember the hatred with the monsters.

Many nobles in the capital had not gone to the south to fight for a long time. In their eyes, the monsters were just toys locked in the house and fiddled with at will. They had forgotten the bloody hatred between the human race and the monsters.

Experiencing this incident would surely awaken the blood in their hearts.

Let's not talk about anything else.

Just say Dingbo Hou, who watched his most beloved son die tragically at the hands of the cat monster.

After today, he would definitely ask His Majesty to go to the southern border, even as a small soldier, to hunt the monsters.

Such things.

He had experienced them when he was young.

Deeply touched.

When the Duke of Anguo heard this, he thought for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and said only one word: "Okay."

He got on his horse and left.

The other nobles saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, and followed.

In the hunting ground.

Ren Pingsheng and Xiao Rongxue walked side by side with long swords in their hands, looking around vigilantly.

After a few steps.

Ren Pingsheng lowered his voice: "Something is wrong, it's too quiet here."

Xiao Rongxue nodded slightly: "It's really wrong. I haven't seen a corpse after walking for so long. It's not in line with common sense."

Only the head is scored.

In order to save time, the nobles killed the monsters, and after cutting off the heads, they would not deal with the bodies.

After walking for half an hour, no corpse was seen.

This means that no monster was killed on this road.

The monsters released by the Locking Monster Tower are randomly released, a few here and a few there.

Although most monsters will go deep.

But there are also many monsters who will go out with the mentality of fighting to the death or revenge.

There was no demon tribe at the edge, which was totally unreasonable.

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know what happened in Xia Miao in previous years? Are the demon tribes concentrated in the depths of the hunting ground?"

Xiao Rongxue opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly she smelled a strong smell of blood and stopped instantly.

"There's a corpse!"
