Feng Xiao simply glared fiercely at Dugu Qiusheng.
In the capital, no one dared to speak ill of the Empress.
It was because of the Empress's protection that the people of the world were able to live in peace and prosperity.
"It's said that the Empress is still a virgin," Shen Ruhui said with a smile.
Dugu Qiusheng said disdainfully, "Having lived for ten thousand years, and still being a virgin? Even a ghost wouldn't believe it."
Dugu Qiusheng doesn't believe anyone, male or female, can endure ten thousand years of loneliness.
"Anyway, we all believe it." Shen Ruhui rolled her eyes in disdain.
Dugu Qiusheng then asked Bian Lang, "Brother Bian, you said you've lived for tens of thousands of years, yet you're still a virgin?"
Bian Lang shook his head.
"See? This is what a normal person looks like," Dugu Qiusheng laughed.
Shen Ruhui asked in surprise, "Brother Bian has lived for tens of thousands of years?"
"Bian Lang, you're not a virgin?" Liu Yi was shocked.
Feng Xiao didn't say anything, but he found Shen Ruhui and Liu Yi's focus to be very interesting.
Bian Lang urged, "We should set off now."
If they avoid answering, then it's true.
Liu Yi could only silently despise Bian Lang in her heart.
"The Prison Land is very large. If we want to visit you in the future, where should we go to find you?" Shen Ruhui asked one last question.
Bian Lang said, "Iron Walled City and Justice Fortress, you can find them by asking around."
"Justice Fortress?" Feng Xiao and Shen Ruhui asked in unison.
Their faces were filled with horror.
"Justice Fortress...is there a problem?" Dugu Qiusheng was startled by their reaction.
Feng Xiao's eyes widened, and he asked again, "Bian Lang, you were talking about Justice Fortress, weren't you?"
Bian Lang was a little confused and asked with a smile, "I am Bian Lang, the corpse driver of Justice Fortress. Is there a problem?"
“Xiaoxiao, I think you’re right. Brother Bian is the corpse driver that the Empress has been looking for,” Shen Ruhui said with certainty.
Feng Xiao had been quite certain before, but after listening to Shen Sanmu's advice, he decided not to take the risk anymore.
However, the impact of the words "Justice Fortress" is simply too strong.
"Bian Lang, why don't you stay a few more days?" Feng Xiao said with a smile.
Dugu Qiusheng chuckled and asked, "Lord of the Wind Cave, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to Brother Gao, would you?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Feng Xiao said angrily.
If Bian Lang is indeed the person the Empress is looking for, then this kind of joke is even more unacceptable.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Feng Xiao, you are already the richest man in the empire, do you still need to curry favor with the Empress?"
"The Empress has been searching for a corpse driver for tens of thousands of years, which is very pitiful. If we have the opportunity, we will naturally help her," Feng Xiao said.
Dugu Qiusheng had always been very interested in the Empress, and immediately said, "Brother Bian, why don't we meet her before we leave?"
Bian Lang smiled but did not answer, and looked at Feng Xiao to ask, "What is the Empress's name?"
Bian Lang secretly hoped for it, but he also felt it was impossible.
The empress could not be Shangguan Hongyu.
Those searching for the corpse-drivers from Justice Fortress might also be enemies they inadvertently formed in the past.
Feng Xiao and Shen Ruhui both shook their heads.
They only knew that the person who ruled this empire was the Empress, but very few people in the world knew her name.
Bian Lang thought for a moment and smiled, "Meeting is fine, but we have to be quick."
"Okay." Feng Xiao nodded.
She planned to persuade Shen Ruhui to ask Shen Sanmu to deliver the message, which would make it easier to get an audience with the Empress.
The group then arrived at the Shen residence. After Feng Xiao explained their purpose, Shen Sanmu hesitated.
If Song Feng hadn't interfered, Feng Xiao would have been able to meet the Empress based on his status as the richest man, but he would have had to wait.
Sometimes the wait can last for more than a month.
Feng Xiao can wait, but Bian Lang cannot.
Therefore, it would be faster to ask Shimizu to do it.
“Father, believe us, Brother Bian is truly the person His Majesty is looking for,” Shen Ruhui said.
Shen Sanmu chuckled and asked, "What's the basis for that?"
“He is a corpse driver from Justice Fortress.” That was Shen Ruhui’s reason.
Shen Sanmu could only say that Shen Rusui was confused. Over the years, how many people have claimed to be corpse drivers from Zhengyibao?
Those with ulterior motives have all used this trick.
It's hard to guarantee that Bian Lang and his associates aren't resorting to their old tricks, so we must be even more cautious in this matter.
"Uncle Shen, please do me this favor," Feng Xiao said.
Even if it is eventually proven that Bian Lang is not the person the Empress is looking for, and Shen Sanmu was only helping her deliver the message, the Empress will never punish him.
Shen Sanmu looked at Feng Xiao, sighed after a long while, and finally nodded.
He didn't want to pass on the message because he wanted to protect Feng Xiao.
But if Feng Xiao insists on doing this, then there's nothing he can do but help.
Shen Sanmu entered the palace that very day, but soon returned with news that the Empress had left the capital.
War broke out on the border, and the Empress personally led the troops to defend against the enemy.
The Empress has always been like this; she personally handles all important matters.
This is why, for thousands of years, the Empress has been deeply loved by the people.
"What bad timing!" Dugu Qiusheng felt very sorry.
Liu Yi wondered if this was a lie brought by Shen Sanmu, in order to stop Feng Xiao from doing something foolish.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "We'll meet again when we have the chance."
"That's all we can do," Feng Xiao sighed.
Shen Ruhui thought that Bian Lang and the others could stay a few more days, but due to the Empress's absence, the farewell still came as scheduled.
Watching Bian Lang and the others leave, Shen Ruhui felt very uncomfortable.
Feng Xiao, though also saddened, quickly recovered.
Life is inherently filled with unpredictable gatherings and separations.
"Bian Lang, are you disappointed?" Liu Yi asked with a smile on the way to the teleportation point.
Bian Lang said, "Why be disappointed?"
"I can't see a beauty like the Empress," Liu Yi said with a smile.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Isn't there already a great beauty right in front of us?"
Liu Yi blushed and quickened her pace to walk forward.
Dugu Qiusheng clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Brother Bian, your skill in captivating a girl's heart is truly remarkable."
Before we even reached the teleportation point, the Corpse Brother had already delivered a new corpse-driving mission.
Within four months, transport Ao Cheng's remains to the Western Sea.
Upon seeing this corpse-driving task, Bian Lang was quite bewildered.
Isn't this arrangement by Corpse Brother a bit too far-fetched?
He killed Ao Cheng with his own hands, and now he's being asked to drive Ao Cheng's corpse to the West Sea. Has the Corpse Brother lost his mind?
The capital city is more than a million miles away from the Western Sea, and there are hundreds of thousands of miles of that distance that cannot be teleported.
Fortunately, the corpse we were chasing this time was a dragon corpse, which could fly, so the speed was naturally faster.
Upon arriving at the teleportation point and hearing the direction Bian Lang indicated, Liu Yi asked in astonishment, "Bian Lang, are you mistaken?"
Bian Lang laughed and said, "That's right, we're going to the West Sea."
"Go to the West Sea?" Dugu Qiusheng was also completely bewildered.
Bian Lang said, "We must send Ao Cheng's body to the Western Sea."
Liu Yi and Dugu Qiusheng looked at each other, feeling that Bian Lang must have gone mad.
If he wasn't crazy, why would he be talking nonsense?
Ao Cheng was killed by Bian Lang, and now they want to send Ao Cheng's body to the West Sea. Isn't that just courting death?
