Chapter 196: Beginning with Ruining (Third Watch)
Shui Xin thought that the reason why Miao Ling and Hua Jian would replace her was to make her not use the fishing village as an excuse.
But in fact, of course, it is not that simple.
Miao Ling and Hua Jian are both quasi-saints who have made a name for themselves from Qifeng Mountain early. As early as a few years ago, it had already made a deep impression on the people of Qifeng Town, and was considered a strong contender for the position of the Holy Maiden. And the hundred phoenixes contended, the crowd gathered, and the situation of the hundred quasi-saints came out, even if the four people were temporarily replaced, the status of Miao Ling and Hua Jian was still unshakable.
And now, the ten places in the Phoenix Blood Secret Realm are based on the collection of Hongchen Nianhuo in the next thirteen years, but most of the disciples sent by the Phoenix Pavilion can only take over the position of sacrifice...... In contrast, the quasi-saint already has a great advantage as a future apostle, let alone the best among the quasi-saints?
It's not just Shui Xin who makes people feel threatened.
Of course, she is not the only one who may be targeted.
However, Miao Ling and Hua Jian almost pushed the boat along the river, and did not reject such an arrangement - to go to this place where Shui Xin left a deep mark to take over the work of "town".
Now that there is Shui Xin making a head bird, being pushed on the cusp of the storm, it is enough for them to take half a step back.
But if Shui Xin can't stand it......
Miao Ling and Hua Jian looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Hua Jian hesitated for a while, checked the isolation formation, and still asked, "Shui Xin's ...... to Yongguo this time?"
Miao Ling smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I don't know. I can only rejoice that for Phoenix Pavilion, the Cloud Country is the base camp. At least they won't be tossing around the boundaries of the Cloud Country. ”
――Although he said that he "didn't know", Miao Ling's words revealed a lot of things.
Hua Jian muttered to himself. "So, whether it's a trap or a danger, will it start with the demon beasts of Ruining Mansion......

Indeed, in the territory of Yunguo, the road is peaceful.
Shui Xin also knew that most of the Ruining Mansion was the beginning, and it meant that there was no rest on the road. Lead the team all the way. But. When passing by the administrative units above the county seat, they will definitely stop for a while to receive a short reception from the local government.
Since he went to Yongguo as an envoy. You can't afford not to take the benefits that should be taken, right?
But it's basically just a meal or something.
――Generally speaking, if you want to do something, you can always get their goals right before and after the dinner table.
And despite accepting the reception, Shui Xin always continued to pose as a kaolin flower - under the guidance and help of Zhou Hongyao. The expression "I concentrate on martial arts and don't ask about the world" is clearly written on his face.
Su Yuqing posed as a hermit in the mountains and forests. But know the music" of the masterful demeanor.
As for the remaining two girls, Xue Yan has always been very satisfied with the position of the big girl, and Zhou Hongyao also looks like Su Yuqing's maid from time to time because of her temperament, appearance and dress......
Mo said that he was the official in charge of reception along the way. Even the entourage of officials rarely knows how to read their faces.
Yes, everyone respectfully received Shui Xin and others. and then directly gave up her and Su Yuqing. In addition to looking for snow geese to inquire about the news, the rest are interested in Shui Xin. Or if you want to please something, you have to find Shen Mu.
-- Fully in line with expectations.
Shen Mu followed as a "ranger" and a "follower" - he couldn't play the suitor - and it happened that every time he said with a reverent face that he was moved by Shui Xin's quasi-saint's feelings of "protecting mankind" and was determined to follow in her footsteps. Although he has no concept of how to preach, he will never be soft when it comes to things like killing monsters!
Although this hat is a little higher, it is in order to brush Shen Mu's favorability, and it is also to pave the way for the plan to find demon beasts everywhere in the future (if there is a future). Shui Xin had no choice but to admit such a grand wish.
After all, every time there is a reception, there will be a large number of onlookers.
And those who find Shen Mu's maids and maids are first-class, and they will always pass on Shen Mu's words......
So all the way down, Shen Mu more or less brushed up some recognition.
At least it is much stronger than his sense of existence in Yongguo.
In Yongguo, even if someone asks a question such as "What is the name of the fourth prince?", most of the people who are asked have to go to those who are qualified to look at the royal jade to ask for the answer.
No, that's too much.
In Yongguo, it should be that when the words "four princes" are spoken, most people will be at a loss and ignorant Cheng dù -- Is there a fourth prince in Yongguo? Oh, it seems that there was news many years ago that the former queen died in childbirth...... Could it be that the four princes actually survived?
- That's why Shui Xin felt that Phoenix Pavilion was really too much to do to Shen Mu.
Even if Shen Mu parachuted back, wouldn't it be enough to kill him while the people didn't have much awareness of him?

In such an atmosphere, Shui Xin, as the nominal leader of the envoys, led the team to Ruining Mansion within more than half a month. Similar to when she was in the fishing village, along the way, she kept a considerable distance from the official named Zhong Lucheng and those heroic guards.
Because Shui Xin has already tried, although these heroic guards are all from the Jiangmen family of Yunguo, their personal strength is also outstanding. But that's for the average person.
There is a gap between the overall quality and the group of ill-intentioned guys who rushed to the southwest sea.
The personal strength of that batch is generally in the marrow washing realm, regardless of whether they use immortal cultivation qualifications to cheat or use drugs to pile up, they have all reached or approached the so-called "acquired peak" of mortal martial artists.
But this group of heroic guards, except for Gong Ancheng, who was the commander, reached the marrow washing realm, and the rest were all wandering in the blood exchange realm. And they are all twenty-five or sixteen years old on average......
Seeing these people, Shui Xin can confirm that the people who followed them at the beginning were really elites.
In short, the strength of these people, for her who has now largely healed the soul of the soldier, does not even have the qualifications to test the sword.
According to the demon beasts of Ruining Mansion, it is obviously different.
When Shui Xin saw the city wall of Ruining Mansion from afar, she could almost be sure of this.
Built at one end of the canyon, the city is completely built on both sides of the huge canyon as two walls, and the towering cliffs and two other strong and tall walls make the city particularly easy to defend from a human point of view.
Coupled with the fact that this is the only passage between the two countries, there is a reason for economic prosperity, even if not an important strategic location.
But now, although the gates are still wide open, there is an air of depression throughout.
On the other hand, the mountains on both sides of the city are deep and steep, revealing a strange and lively atmosphere.
"This is not the small fishing village in the southwest sea before. Shui Xin let out an inexplicable exclamation, and rode her horse to meet the excited greeter. Xiaobai sat in front of her, looking left and right angrily. (To be continued) R580
