#347 - There is always a hero in the world

You Jia had found Bai Youheng's whereabouts.

Chu Xianping's words immediately invigorated Wei Changtian.

Analyzing from the information currently available, Yanluo, or rather the Gu雕, does not possess intelligence and only has the instinct to "devour food."

This is why it was easily lured into a trap by the Night Watcher sixty years ago.

But now that Yanluo has become Bai Youheng's Luck Beast, it is naturally controlled by the latter.

In other words, Yanluo's intelligence level is now equivalent to Bai Youheng's.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian frowned and asked, "Still in the Da Ning Imperial Palace?"

"No."

Chu Xianping shook his head and quickly replied, "Six days ago, he left the capital with a hundred Dragon Guards, heading towards Fengyuan."

"With Dragon Guards? To Fengyuan?"

Wei Changtian was stunned and quickly asked, "What is he going to do?"

"This has not been found out yet."

Chu Xianping said calmly, "But since there are so many Dragon Guards accompanying him, it must be related to Ning Yongnian, but"

"Young Master, it's meaningless for us to guess here. As long as we can catch Bai Youheng, all the problems can be solved."

"Well, that makes sense."

Persuaded by Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian stopped worrying about it.

Giving up on trying to figure out what Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian are plotting, he began to seriously consider how to catch Bai Youheng, or just kill him.

"Where are they now? Has You Jia found out?"

"Not yet."

Chu Xianping pondered for a moment and analyzed, "But if they did leave six days ago, they should be near Yuanzhou now."

Yuanzhou... That means they haven't entered Da Feng territory yet.

Wei Changtian frowned, feeling that this matter was quite tricky.

Bai Youheng's cultivation level is not high. According to his Night Watcher colleagues, he is only at the sixth rank. Even considering his identity as the Son of Heaven, his combat power is at most at the fifth or fourth rank.

And although a hundred Dragon Guards sound intimidating, they can be dealt with by a few experts above the third rank.

Now that he has great power, it is more than enough to find such experts, but...

It's just that determining Bai Youheng's location is a difficult task.

After all, the border between Da Ning and Da Feng is very long, and there are many routes to Fengyuan. Who knows which route Bai Youheng will take.

Although he can order the local governments along the way to conduct strict inspections, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve any results.

Could it be... that he can only wait in Fengyuan City?

"Brother Chu, did You Jia say where she got the news from?"

"Li Huaizhong."

Chu Xianping nodded and replied, "However, Li Huaizhong claimed that he didn't know what Bai Youheng was going to do in Fengyuan, nor did he know the latter's whereabouts."

"."

This old eunuch.

Cursing inwardly, Wei Changtian shook his head helplessly.

Whether Li Huaizhong really doesn't know or pretends not to know, since he said that to You Jia, he probably won't change his words even if he asks again.

Sigh.

"Brother Chu..."

When in doubt, let Chu Xianping solve it.

Wei Changtian couldn't make up his mind about how to hunt down Bai Youheng after thinking about it several times, so he simply asked Chu Xianping directly, "Do you think we need to send people to search strictly along the way?"

"No need."

Chu Xianping's answer was very definite.

"Young Master, Bai Youheng has a hundred Dragon Guards of the middle three ranks. Ordinary officials and soldiers will not be their opponents unless they are far superior in number."

"Moreover, the Dragon Guards are also very good at reconnaissance and concealment. It is equally difficult to follow them secretly, and they may be exposed if they are not careful."

"If we alert the enemy, it will only make Bai Youheng more vigilant."

"In my opinion, since Bai Youheng is coming to Fengyuan, we might as well set up an inescapable net in Fengyuan City in advance, and then capture him in one fell swoop when he shows up."

"This is probably the most secure way."

"."

"Okay! Let's do it!"

Almost without hesitation, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and then approved Chu Xianping's suggestion.

"Brother Chu, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes."

Chu Xianping nodded, and then said, "By the way, Young Master, You Jia also mentioned something in the intelligence."

"Oh? What is it?"

"She said that she might accompany Ning Yongnian out of the capital in a few days."

"Leave the capital?"

Wei Changtian was stunned, but he wasn't thinking about "his 'woman' is going on a 'business trip' with another man", but...

"Where is Ning Yongnian going?!"

"I don't know yet, but You Jia said that she would send a message back as soon as she finds out."

"Alright..."

Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian always felt that Ning Yongnian's departure from the capital this time was for something important, and even vaguely felt that this matter might be related to Bai Youheng.

But of course, the truth cannot be revealed by speculation, so he can only shake his head gently at the mist that is already close at hand.

"Sigh..."

"Wait for her news."

After coming out of the secret room and saying a few words to Du Chang and Li Wutong, this case discussion meeting came to a temporary end.

The three of them continued to busy themselves with their own affairs, while Wei Changtian went around to the backyard to check the progress of the several "cannon fodder" in cultivating the挑月sword.

There were a total of seven people, all reliable people carefully selected from the Night Watchers, and their cultivation levels were all at the fourth or fifth rank.

And what they had to do after being secretly brought to the Princess's mansion was very simple, that is, to cultivate the 挑月 sword day and night.

As long as they practiced to the entry level, they could activate the sword move hidden in the sword, so as to bear the possible risks for themselves, Old Zhang, and Qin Zhengqiu.

Although this is undoubtedly very unfair to the person who activates the sword move, there is no way, after all, someone must sacrifice for many things.

Wei Changtian did not have Xiao Feng's "self-sacrificing" consciousness, so of course he would not go into battle himself, nor would he want Old Zhang and Qin Zhengqiu to do this.

Therefore, he can only find someone else to be this "hero".

However, Wei Changtian also told these seven people the truth, and promised that if something happened, he would take care of their families.

Unexpectedly, none of these seven people refused, and even really felt that this was a "special honor". They usually practiced the sword more diligently than the others, as if they were afraid that their progress would be slow and they would lose the opportunity to kill Yanluo with their own hands.

It seems that no matter when or in which world, there will always be some people who are willing to go through fire and water for the sake of the world and regard death as home.

"."

Standing outside the courtyard, silently watching the figures of the seven people in the courtyard constantly waving the long swords in their hands, Wei Changtian felt quite emotional.

At the same time, in the Da Ning Imperial Palace, thousands of miles away, Ning Yongnian was standing upright in front of a huge sand table, also thinking about something.

In the very center of the sand table was a miniature version of Yuanzhou City made of sand and soil, with ten small black flags inserted in the city, each representing 50,000 Da Feng soldiers.

In addition, there were twenty small yellow flags, each representing 100,000 Da Ning people.

Nearly 500,000 enemy soldiers, nearly two million ordinary people.

Worth it.

"Boom!"

Ning Yongnian turned around expressionlessly and waved his palm at the same time.

The small Yuanzhou City, along with the ten small black flags, instantly turned into powder and rose into the air. Each tiny speck of dust was like a wandering soul, struggling to sway and unwilling to fall for a long time.
