"yes."

Lin Muyu nodded and said calmly: "If I don't kill Tang Bin at that moment, Xiao Xi will die at Tang Bin's hands."

"well……"

Qu Chu sighed and said, "Even so... there is probably a dispute. After all, Tang Bin died at your hands. Once Tang Hao and others return to Qihai City, this matter may spread. How to resolve it at that time."

Qin Yin looked at Qu Chu with bright eyes and said, "Tang Bin wants to kill Xiao Xi, this incident can also be said to be witnessed by everyone. As long as we explain it clearly to Mr. Lan, I believe he will definitely understand his love for Mr. Lan."

"No."

Qu Chu shook his head and said, "If Xiaoxi killed Tang Bin, perhaps Lan Guild may forgive Xiaoxi. After all, Xiaoxi is just protecting himself, but Ayu... Ayu killed Tang Bin, which is impossible to forgive at all. Just imagine, what does Lan Guild think? Even if Tang Bin wants to kill Xiaoxi, that is also the business of Qihai City. Why is it your turn, the adopted son of the emperor, to do it?"

Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but become scared: "This...what should I do."

Qu Chu sighed and said, "Let's take one step at a time, and see how Your Majesty will decide on this matter. Your Highness and the Princess must speak more for Ayu in front of Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will not act like sacrificing the car to protect the commander."

"Save the car to keep the handsome..."

Qin Yin opened her bright eyes wide and said, "No...No, my father will not abandon Brother Ayu..."

Qu Chu smiled: "Your Highness is so self-deceptive. You don't know your Majesty's character. Who is more important, Jiangshan or Ayu? Don't you understand?"

Qin Yin was silent.

On the side, Feng Jixing patted Lin Muyu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a solution. Mr. Qu's words are reasonable, but Ayu, you should also understand that you are the adopted son of the emperor, you are the strongest cultivation among the younger generation in Lan Yancheng, and you have such a good relationship with Xiao Yin. Your Majesty needs you to protect your daughter, and he will not touch you."

Qu Chu couldn't help but smile: "The words of Commander Feng are really the truth."

Lin Muyu changed the subject and asked, "Old Qu, Xiao Xi's power awakened, so she turned into a nine-tailed demon fox. I wonder if Mr Qu has a way to restore Xiao Xi's body to its original state. Although we don't dislike her current nine-tailed form, this has really affected her normal life."

Qu Chu nodded: "I know very little about the legend of the Nine-tailed Fox, and even there are few records in ancient books. Tens of thousands of years of history, every war means the loss of civilized classics. I am afraid that the people in this world who understand the Nine-tailed Fox simply do not exist. Only those who have seen the Nine-tailed Fox..."

"What should I do..." Lin Muyu was speechless.

Qin Yin said: "Fortunately, Xiaoxi can now control the inflammation power on her body. As long as she put on a cloak, others can't see any clues. We can slowly figure out how to do it."

"Well, that's all."

"Go back to Lanyan City at full speed. It's too unsafe to find the dragon forest."

"good."

...

Three days later, return to Lanyan City.

There was silence in Zetian Palace. Qin Jinwei sat on the throne, watching Qu Chu, Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, Feng Jixing, and Tang Xiaoxi walked in side by side.

"Xiao Yin, Mr. Qu, you are back." Qin Jin stood up excitedly and said, "Xiao Xi is back too. It's fine, it's fine..."

Tang Xiaoxi looked at Qin Jin with golden eyes, bowed and gave a lady's greeting, and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Qin Jin looked at Tang Xiaoxi's eyes and felt a little uncomfortable.

Qin Yin lifted the cloak above her head and said to the guards around: "All the imperial guards and ministers retreat. I want to talk to my father. Just guard outside."

Everyone clasped their fists together: "Yes, Your Highness."

After all the guards retreated, Qin Jin nodded and said, "It's OK, Xiaoxi, let me see you."

Tang Xiaoxi slowly lifted the cloak, and a beautiful face appeared in front of the Emperor, but a pair of fox ears were shining with a faint flaming luster, trembling slightly. She reached out and untied the tie on her chest, and the cloak "brushed" and landed on the ground. The nine flame tails behind her swayed gently, very gorgeous.

“Well…”

Qin Jin took a deep breath and looked at Tang Xiaoxi's appearance, and was secretly shocked. This was the legendary nine-tailed demon fox, but looking at this, it was still Tang Xiaoxi.

"Xiao Xi, okay." He waved his hand.

Tang Xiaoxi put on her cloak again, lowered her head, and said quietly: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi scared His Majesty."

"It's fine."

Qin Jin nodded, suddenly looked at Lin Muyu with majesty in his eyes and said, "Lin Muyu, do you know your guilt?"

Lin Muyu stepped forward and said, "Father, I don't know what crime I have committed."

Qin Jin looked stern and said, "The incident of killing the eldest son of Lan Gong, Tang Bin, has spread throughout Lanyan City. Do you still want to pretend that you don't know? Come and drag Lin Muyu down and behead him."

"No, Father." Qin Yin hurriedly knelt down.

Tang Xiaoxi also knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Muyu had to kill Tang Bin in order to save my life. Please forgive him. If Your Majesty blames Lin Muyu for this, then Tang Xiaoxi can only punish the same crime."

Qu Chu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Muyu killed someone to save people. It is understandable that he will not die. I also think that Your Majesty should bypass Lin Muyu and die."

Qin Jin said lightly: "Lin Muyu, since ancient times, you killed someone and paid for your life. Moreover, you killed Tang Bin, the first heir to Qihai City. I want to punish you, you have any objections."

Lin Muyu looked up at the emperor with a beautiful face and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to it..."

He was also vaguely unhappy. Even though he knew that this was an imperial technique, Qin Jin had an adopted son and now he turned his back on the blink of an eye. This finally made him feel the coldness of the human heart. In this hall, it was probably more of the mutual use between the king and the minister, rather than the family affection between father and son.

The adopted son of the emperor is just a false reputation after all.

Looking at Lin Muyu's appearance, Qin Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Well, after the meeting is over, you can report to the Heavenly Prison, temporarily detain the Heavenly Prison, and then go to the next step to retrial."

"yes."

Qin Yin, no matter how hard Tang Xiaoxi pleaded, it was useless. Qin Jin just agreed not to kill, but did not agree not to punish. If he did not punish, I am afraid that the envoy who stayed in Lanyan City in Qihai City would have something to say.

...

At this moment, a messenger outside rushed in: "Your Majesty, urgent military information."

Everyone was stunned. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, where does the military intelligence come from?

Qin Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me where the military information comes from."

The messenger said respectfully: "The military information from the Demon-Suppressing Pass in the west of Lanyan City. A day ago, a large number of demon clans in the Western Region gathered at the Demon-Suppressing Pass and could launch an attack at any time. It is said that the demon clan used a total of more than 200,000 troops this time."

"What,."

Qin Jin suddenly stood up with anger on his face and said, "Does the demon clan in the Endless Forest want to make trouble again? Humph, do they want to experience the scene of my army sweeping across the Endless Forest twenty years ago?"

Qu Chu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the demon clan has been dormant in the endless forest for decades. Now that he has committed another offense, he must have a plan. He must send a famous general to guard the demon clan gate. Otherwise, once the demon clan gate is broken, the demon clan army may be at the city of Lanyan City at any time. At that time, it may be too late."

Qin Jin nodded: "Who does Lord Qu Chu want to recommend?"

"Lin Muyu." Qu Chu smiled slightly: "It's time for him to truly experience it."

"No, Lin Muyu is a guilty man and cannot lead the army."

Qin Jin looked stern and said, "Come here, I will order the general protecting the country, Yu Wenxie, to go to the Demon Suppression Pass immediately, and it is necessary to block these 200,000 demons in the Western Frontier."

"Yes." A commemorative officer said respectfully and turned away.

Qin Jin said again: "The demon gate only has more than 10,000 troops, which is not enough to compete with the demon army. He sent the Yu Shu to Qi Customs and ordered Du Hai to dispatch 30,000 Tianchong troops to reinforce the demon gate."

"Yes." Another edict took the order and left.

...

The demon clan has not entered the Middle Earth for twenty years and is now in full force, but Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi and others do not feel afraid, because when the demon clan finally appeared in Middle Earth, they were not born yet. However, Qu Chu understood the power of the demon clan and said with his fists: "Your Majesty, I wish you bluntly, the 40,000 army still cannot stop the demon clan's attack. At least 150,000 elite troops can resist."

"I know."

Qin Jin nodded and said, "But there are only so many troops that can be dispatched in the imperial capital. The Cangnan Province, Tianshu Province, and Yunzhong Province are too far away, so it is inconvenient to dispatch troops. Only the Qihai Province is closest to the imperial capital. The army can arrive within three days, but... Ayu, this kid, just killed Tang Bin, how can Duke Lan send troops to reinforce the imperial capital?"

Tang Xiaoxi looked up and said, "Your Majesty, if necessary, Xiaoxi is willing to go to Qihai City in person and ask grandpa to send troops to reinforce the Demon Suppression Pass."

"Well, that's all, so I'll bother Xiao Xi."

Qin Jin sat on the throne and said, "Old Qu, please accompany Xiaoxi's light cavalry to Qihai City. You must invite a 100,000 Qihai City army, otherwise I can only use the Flying Cavalry Camp and the Imperial Army to resist the demon clan."

"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty."

Qu Chu and Tang Xiaoxi turned around, while Tang Xiaoxi looked back at Lin Muyu reluctantly and said, "Mumu, you must be fine, wait for me to come back..."

Lin Muyu nodded and said nothing.

...

After the meeting, the general protecting the country, Yu Wenxie, personally led the mansion army to the Zhenyao Pass to command the battle.

Lin Muyu was escorted to the Heavenly Prison by two imperial guards. The first time I felt the Heavenly Prison in Lanyan City, the taste was naturally particularly sour.
