When Guixiong New City was first built, there was nothing there.
Asking the imperial court for supplies was not a quick fix, so Xiao Zhixing set his sights on Beizhou and its governor, An Ziji.
The man kept claiming to be ill, and the letter that Xiao Zhixing handed him was never replied to.
She laughed in exasperation.
I originally thought that everyone in this era was a gentleman, and that they would at least maintain a certain level of politeness towards each other.
I never expected there would be someone even more arrogant than her.
Then she wouldn't stand on ceremony.
They mustered three thousand men, riding fast horses and iron cavalry, and set off on the first morning, arriving in Beiyuan County on the second morning.
The three thousand cavalrymen moved with great momentum, and the garrison of Beiyuan County was terrified, thinking that the northern barbarians had invaded their territory.
"No, no, that's the Xiao family's military flag."
An old soldier hurriedly stopped the new recruit from striking the warning gong, saying, "Quickly, go and report to the governor and the prefect."
As they approached, the city gate guards were already waiting at the city gate.
My gaze shifted from the Xiao family's army flag to the dignified young woman in white armor leading the way.
"It's...it's Prince Xiao?! Quickly go and report to the Prefect, Prince Xiao has come in person."
Good heavens, this guy actually came to Beiyuan County? And he came with such force, why do I feel my legs trembling?
Xiao Zhixing slowed down slightly and led his men directly into Beiyuan County.
The city gate guards didn't dare to stop them.
The reason they were so afraid wasn't because Xiao Zhixing's reputation for arrogance and domineering was already so widespread.
Rather, it was a sense of awe for those who could defeat the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
A young general who kills without hesitation—who wouldn't be terrified of him?
"Beiyuan County is a prefecture capital, yet it's so desolate?"
The streets were deserted during the day, shops were scattered, and the people were emaciated and beggars and children could be seen everywhere.
Moreover, most of them are elderly people, children, and women; there are very few strong men.
Xiao Zhixing found something was wrong the more he looked at it.
Beiyuan County was not ravaged by the northern barbarians, nor was it subject to large-scale conscription or forced labor.
How could a young, strong man disappear without a trace?
"Let's go and take a look at the prefect's residence."
A group of people rode horses through the streets, while the people of the county town seemed indifferent, keeping their distance out of fear, not daring to utter a single complaint.
Upon seeing the prefectural governor's residence, Xiao Zhixing waved his hand, "Surround it from front to back."
Xiao Dong personally made the arrangements.
The gates of the prefectural governor's mansion were tightly shut, and despite the commotion, not a single person came out to investigate.
That's so weird.
"Go ram the door."
Boom, boom boom—
The door opened.
"Ahhhhh..." The screamer was none other than Bai Su, who was watching the live stream.
【Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, my life is in danger!】
Holy crap, I was just sent away!
【Oh My God! ! 】
Xiao Zhixing had dark, brooding eyes.
The scene was filled with blood, and the entire household members lay in pools of blood; it was far too cruel and bloody.
"Uncle Dong, quickly go and check if there are any survivors."
She leaped onto the highest rooftop and scanned the area.
"To the east, the man in gray!" Bai Feng warned.
Xiao Zhixing shot forward, gathering his strength in his dantian, "Where do you think you're going?"
Like a phantom, it approached the man in gray, simultaneously drawing its bow and shooting an arrow.
sieve!
The opponent dodged with a leap and sped away.
Ying Er and Bai Mei surrounded the other side from another direction.
The man in gray ran towards the residential area.
Xiao Zhixing sneered. He had originally intended to spare their lives, but since that was the case...
Three arrows in a row!
Whoosh whoosh——
As her skill improved, her three arrows in a single, all-out attack could kill even top-tier Heavenly Realm experts.
"ah!"
The man in gray fell from the sky, damaging many roof tiles.
Xiao Zhixing leaped over to try and strike the pressure point, but it was too late; the man had already committed suicide by biting into poison.
Ying Er examined the corpse. "Young Prince, he is a death squad member, a master of the Earth Rank. There are no markings on his body."
Organizations usually have markings.
There is no such thing as a martial arts world in Dasheng, but some organizations still exist, such as assassin organizations, intelligence organizations, and canal transport organizations.
Bai Mei twitched her nose. "This person has a unique scent."
Xiao Zhixing's expression was grim. "Take the body back and dissect it piece by piece. You have to find out every clue."
To openly murder a high-ranking official in broad daylight, to wipe out his entire family, and to do so right in front of her.
This clearly shows they knew she was coming and killed her before she could.
This is blatant provocation!
Back at the prefectural governor's mansion, Qi Danhe and his men stood at the entrance, stunned.
Such a horrific family massacre occurred right under his nose.
For a moment, the highest military commander of the Northern State felt like his head was about to explode.
The one who died was his former colleague, a dignified prefect.
This is the first time since the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
It's simply outrageous.
"General Qi, shall we go in and take a look? What earth-shattering secret could have led them to commit such a heinous act?"
They didn't even spare a three-year-old child.
Her ruthlessness was so extreme that even Xiao Zhixing had to admit defeat.
Xiao's army surrounded the prefect's mansion, not even a fly could get out.
Ying Er and Bai Mei personally searched the mansion.
"Young Prince, we've made a discovery," Ying Er reported, and immediately led her and Qi Danhe to the backyard.
Bai Mei stood in front of a rockery. "Young Prince, there is a secret underground chamber here. We have already checked the mechanisms and hidden weapons."
Without hesitation, Xiao Zhixing descended the long staircase using Ying Er's torch.
Dizzy and confused, Qi Danhe followed behind, then exclaimed in surprise, "Gold Mountain?!"
Isn't it Kingsoft?
The underground chamber was filled with gold, with a mountain of gold nuggets several meters high piled up in the very center.
