Chapter 60: The Starry Sky Train Arrives at the Immortal Boat
Lu Qi returned to the general's mansion at the perfect time. Jing Yuan had already communicated with Ren, and the Yunqi Army was currently holding him captive.
After the people from the Ten Kings' Department pronounce the verdict on the crime, they will be imprisoned in the Dark Prison.
Ren's existence is quite special. Before he gained immortality, he was indeed a person who made great contributions to the Immortal Boat.
So after being imprisoned in the Prison for a period of time, he was expelled from the Immortal Boat.
But I didn't expect that he would still be committing crimes after returning this time.
Even now, I still feel uneasy.
Jingyuan sighed.
Fortunately, there are always people who remember his kindness. The heartless little girl has the power to enter the Shen Ce Mansion freely. She rushed in and stuffed a string of Qiongshi bird strings into his hand.
"I just sent someone to buy it," Lu Qi said with sparkling eyes, "By the way, where is your little apprentice? I brought him a bunch too."
"Yanqing is on a mission," Jing Yuan said in a calm tone, "Since he's not here, give me both strings."
"I'll eat it myself."
Lu Qi didn't want that. She enjoyed two strings of sweets by herself, and her cheeks were bulging from biting them, like a little squirrel.
Jingyuan propped up his head and looked at her, poking her puffy cheeks from time to time.
"What are you doing?!" Lu Qi was caught off guard and almost vomited after being poked by him. He glared at him angrily.
The man with white hair and golden eyes lazily raised his hands in surrender.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"How come after seven hundred years, you're still so naughty?" Lu Qi complained.
"Sister Lu Qi is the same. After seven hundred years, she still loves sweet food."
"How can this be the same?" Lu Qi glared at him several times, "You are a general now, you should be more stable."
Jing Yuan smiled so hard that his eyes curved, and the teardrop mole under the corner of his eye moved, "Even when facing Sister Lu Qi, do I need it?"
Lu Qi thought about it and couldn't imagine Jing Yuan's brother putting on such a serious expression as her master.
"...Forget it, let's just maintain the status quo."
Jingyuan looked at her with a smile.
In fact, it's not that I'm greedy, I just want to be closer to her.
It was like this before and it is like this now.
It’s just a pity that I can’t hold her in my arms when she grows up. It’s not appropriate.
"Come to think of it, Yanqing is a bit shorter than me now...Isn't this kid quite old?" Lu Qi finished the fruit in his mouth with great effort and said after swallowing it, "How old is he?"
Jing Yuan calmly uttered a string of words that shocked Lu Qi.
Lu Qi: "??? This kid is younger than I was back then, right? No wonder he's only grown so little now... Are you comfortable letting him go on the mission alone?"
"Don't underestimate that kid," Jing Yuan said with a smile, "He is now the strongest swordsman in Luofu. If even he can't resist the enemy, then the others will just die in vain."
"Where did you find this swordsmanship genius?"
Jing Yuan smiled and did not answer the question.
Lu Qi had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter, so after complaining, he started to eat the preserved fruits and snacks that Jing Yuan had placed on the small table.
As she ate, she casually said, "Oh, by the way, Ren told me before that Dan Feng's reincarnation would come to the Immortal Boat. I guess it would be with his group of companions from the Starry Sky Train. I don't know the exact time. Are there any Cloud Cavalry guarding the Xingcha Port dock?"
"Yes," Jing Yuan replied, lost in thought, "Is the Starry Sky Train also involved? It seems there's a lot of conspiracy going on here."
"Okay, I don't care about conspiracies or anything like that, but do you need my help now?"
It really does exist.
After the star core exploded, the Medicine King Secret Sect, ambushed by the Dan Ding Division, began to move, attacking the Cloud Cavalry and ordinary Xianzhou people. He had just assigned personnel to protect the residents when Yan Qing was transferred to the Dan Ding Division to investigate the situation... Even the Ten Kings Division sent some personnel.
This matter involves many forces, and it is possible that the Legion of Destruction is also involved.
They always appear where there are star cores, and Jing Yuan would not be naive enough to think that these were things brought by star core hunters to declare war.
But in the chaos, we must first control those who have ulterior motives.
Even if that person was his old friend.
"The Medicine King has spread a secret disease called cholera, and Luofu is in crisis. I'll trouble you to go to Xingcha Harbor," Jing Yuan said. "If you encounter anyone possessed by a demonic spirit, behead them without mercy, regardless of friend or foe."
"Got it! I promise to complete the mission!"
***
Xingcha Port was quite large, with many cargo ships arriving and ships of the foreigners docked there. However, the bustling port was now almost deserted, with only the patrolling Cloud Cavalry.
Not long after Lu Qi arrived, she had already cleared out all the Medicine King secrets. With her keen sense of smell, she could identify any Medicine King secrets hidden within the Izumo Cavalry, often revealing them before they could even speak.
"Ah? What did you want to say just now?" Lu Qi's claws were sharper than a knife. With two grabs, the Medicine King fell down.
The guy with the golden branch looked quite familiar, and was very similar to the fertile evil creature in Lu Qi's memory.
She couldn't help but frown.
The Medicine King, possessed by the demonic body, still retained his sanity. Lu Qi found some pills on their bodies. She sniffed them, frowned, and wrapped them in a handkerchief.
Take it back to Jingyuan and ask someone from Dandingsi to analyze the ingredients.
Well... no, it seems that the Danding Division has been secretly invaded by the Medicine King. At present, no one knows who is normal and who has joined. It is even more difficult than the restoration 800 years ago.
Lu Qi had dealt with the Medicine King Secret Sect before, but back then they were insignificant. It was nothing like now, when Luofu was about to be turned into a sieve by the invasion...
I'm afraid that after this incident, Jing Yuan will be held accountable by the Xianzhou Alliance. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Fortunately, she is not a general, thank goodness.
During her patrol, Lu Qi saw a familiar face. With a good memory, she immediately searched her mind for the person's existence.
Lu Qi naturally likes to forget things that don't need to be remembered, but although Xue Yi and Jackdaw occupied an insignificant period of time in her life, they were engraved in her mind when she was on the battlefield.
Xue Yi died at Shu Hu's hands when she raised her bow and waited for the opportunity.
General Teng Xiao didn't have time to save her, and neither did Lu Qi. They could only watch Xue Yi and Jackdaw separate forever.
I don’t know what happened to the jackdaw.
but……
Lu Qi looked up and down at the snow-covered body that was stabbed all over by the Medicine King's secret teachings and almost shattered into pieces.
Xue Yi is using a偃偶 now... This game is really magical, does the fairy boat actually have a soul or something?
Lu Qi seemed to be lost in thought. Under Xue Yi's blank gaze, he waved at her happily.
"Xue Yi, long time no see!" The white-haired, golden-eyed Dragon Honored girl hopped down from the pile of goods, as light as a butterfly. "Do you remember me? We both trained under the general for a period of time—oh, I'm talking about the previous general, Teng Xiao. He was my master, do you remember him?"
"Teng Xiao... General..." The pale, almost lifeless puppet girl shook her head. "I'm sorry, I've lost a lot of my memories."
"It's okay, then you can continue to get to know me," Lu Qi said with a smile, "My name is Lu Qi, don't forget it this time."
"Lu Qi... Lu Qi..." Xue Yi muttered the name, and several images that could not be pieced together flashed through her mind.
But in the picture, the girl named Lu Qi is clearly a short-haired girl with black hair and black eyes.
A girl with a lovely smile, holding a bow, grumbled and flirted with the burly, heavily armored man. During practice, however, she was so serious that aiming at a moving target was a snap.
She is a martial arts genius.
But now standing in front of her was the Dragon Lord of the Chiming clan with white hair and golden eyes.
Even so, Xue Yi nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Lu Qi finally smiled with satisfaction. She asked the other Chiming Clan guards to help Xue Yi away, using the Star Raft she had come in. The guards remained silent about her orders, only focusing on blindly carrying them out.
Alas, it seems like these people who have learned the secrets of the King of Medicine can never be killed.
Moreover, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of our Cloud Cavalry.
Lu Qi calculated with his fingers and felt that the current Cloud Cavalry was much weaker than before. Was it because there were fewer battles? It felt like they were like ants, easily crushed and killed.
However, it is normal that ordinary cloud cavalry cannot defeat the Medicine King Secret Sect. After all, the Medicine King Secret Sect uses drugs to assist, which can stop its own abilities when it is in the state of demonic body and still maintain sanity.
The demonic Yin body state of the Xianzhou people can greatly increase their strength, and Lu Qi's several Chiming clan guards are no match for them. Here, it is unclear whether she is protecting them, or they are protecting her...
Lu Qi simply sent them all away so that they wouldn't get in her way.
She sat alone on the container, gazing at the closed Xingcha Port terminal with her chin in her hand.
Originally, he had intended to wait until the Starry Sky Train crew arrived so he could see Dan Feng's reincarnation as soon as possible. However, the Jade Omen beeped, and Lu Qi clicked it. It was a text message from Ban Xia.
[Bansheng Ruxia (Banxia): Master Lu Qi, the wanted criminal named 'Ren' whom you captured has been rescued by his accomplices.]
[I Have Been Reborn (Lu Qi): Huh? At a time like this?]
Lu Qi struggled to stand up from the container.
Hey, why would Ren jailbreak for no reason?
And his teammates were such a nuisance... Well, I don't quite remember their names, but I just remember that she was a pretty older sister with long purple-red hair.
Really, if I had known earlier, I would have arrested this accomplice. Now he is hindering her from waiting for others in Xingcha Port.
Lu Qi complained in his heart and opened the chat with Jing Yuan.
[I Have Been Reborn (Lu Qi): Brother Jingyuan, when did the wanted criminal escape?]
A few minutes later, Jing Yuan's message came back.
[Real name online (Jing Yuan): He's really well-informed... The one who rescued him was his companion, named 'Kafka', who's skilled in the art of word magic. If you encounter them, be extremely careful.]
As expected of a general who had lived for a long time, he knew exactly what his childhood friend was thinking.
Lu Qi sent an emoticon package with the word "received.jpg" and turned to instruct Banxia to continue sending people to monitor the Xingcha Port.
She has cleaned up this area, so she doesn't have to come and take away the injured Chiming people... There should be no problem now.
She stood up and patted the hem of her clothes which were slightly stained with dust.
Her favorite lotus pattern was embroidered on the cyan hem, and on the back of the shirt, hidden by her long white hair, there was a crane spreading its wings and flying high.
She jumped lightly and skillfully transformed into a white dragon, flying in the sky.
Well, it’s more convenient to find people in this form!
After a moment, the tightly closed port gate slowly opened, revealing the train waiting outside.
The Starry Sky Train and its crew arrived at the Luofu Fairy Boat.
