The Princess Consort of Zhenbei

"Boss, the intelligence agency has sent us a mission."

three days later.

Holding the mission manual in his hand, Wang Yue hurriedly arrived at Tingfeng Tower.

At this moment, Luo Chen was reading in the pavilion, keeping abreast of the latest developments from all sides.

Hearing the noise outside, I put down the book I was holding.

When Wang Yue came closer, Luo Chen spoke softly.

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Wang Yue had spent a long time with Luo Chen and understood Luo Chen's personality, so he didn't stand on ceremony and poured himself a cup of tea.

He downed the drink in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then said indignantly.

"Boss, look, this is a mission that the intelligence agency just sent over."

The Demon Suppression Bureau's Intelligence Pavilion is an organization specifically dedicated to collecting information on demons and monsters.

After all, every appearance of demons is a disaster for the people, so the accuracy and timeliness of intelligence are very important.

A single day's delay could result in countless deaths.

Luo Chen frowned and began to look through the booklet.

A day ago, three fishing villages along a tributary of the Bailong River were massacred by demons, with no survivors!

I hereby dispatch Demon Suppression Captain Luo Chen to investigate this matter; there must be no mistakes!

"?" A big question mark appeared above Luo Chen's head.

He put down the booklet in his hand and said to Wang Yue.

"What about the demon information? There's nothing there?"

He found it hard to believe that the Demon Suppression Division was so... careless.

Wang Yue's expression was also not good, and he even went to the intelligence agency to confirm the matter.

The answer I received was not satisfactory.

"Boss, I asked the intelligence agency. They said time is of the essence, they don't know the details, and they told us to hurry up and act."

Luo Chen was so angry he laughed, and suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him and he asked.

"Who assigned me this task?!"

Logically speaking, he had just returned from the Tian Duan Mountains and was promoted to Demon Suppression Captain.

Even with other demon-suppressing officers in the Demon-Suppressing Division, they won't prioritize missions for you.

Wang Yue flipped to the back of the booklet, looked up, and said softly.

"It's the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Zhuge Yucheng."

Luo Chen stroked his chin, lost in thought.

This idiot probably doesn't see himself as an imaginary enemy.

Damn it!

After a moment's thought, Luo Chen spoke to Wang Yue.

"Assemble all the Demon Suppression Envoys immediately. We will depart in one hour."

"Yes!" Wang Yue accepted the order and left.

"I hope you don't do anything stupid." Luo Chen stood up and stood in front of the observation deck, his gaze falling on the pavilion deep inside.

The matter of the demons massacring the village cannot be delayed.

He didn't want his suspicions to waste time, which would increase casualties.

But if some people really provoke him.

The golden scales in his hand are still sharp!

……

One hour later.

In front of Tingfeng Tower, on the small square.

Luo Chen looked at the five people standing loosely in front of him, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

"What about the rest?"

He looked at Wang Yue, his tone very calm.

"Boss, someone is in seclusion, someone injured their back yesterday, someone's mother passed away... so they couldn't come."

Wang Yue kept his head down, not daring to speak loudly.

"Fine, they won't come, and they won't even report if anything happens. From now on, they're no longer my people."

Luo Chen didn't tolerate it and instead looked at the other four people.

No one dared to meet his gaze.

a long time,

"Let's set off; there's no time to delay in slaying the demon."

Luo Chen was furious. Did these people really think he was young and easy to bully?

He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

Luo Chen mounted his horse and headed out of the city.

Wang Yue immediately followed.

The other four exchanged glances, and one of them whispered something.

"Captain Luo still held back."

"Young and hot-blooded, shouldn't he just demand an explanation?"

"Shut up and keep up."

Speechless all the way.

The sunset painted half the sky with orange hues.

evening.

Luo Chen and his group of six had a casual dinner on the official road.

They then continued their journey.

Luo Chen didn't want to waste any more time.

According to the map provided by the intelligence agency, they were still more than 300 miles away from the tributary where demons roamed.

……

Not long after Luo Chen and the others left.

Against the backdrop of the beautiful sunset, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove along the wide official road.

The carriage was understated and unassuming, made entirely of mahogany without any superfluous decorative patterns.

Inside the carriage, two stunningly beautiful women sat gracefully on a white fox fur cushion worth a fortune.

Shangguan Changyue sat to the left of the beauty and spoke respectfully.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at Qingyuan City."

The Princess Consort of Zhenbei, dressed in white, possessed unparalleled beauty and an ethereal elegance.

With each blink of her beautiful eyes, she exuded charm and captivated the heart with every smile and gesture.

"I've told you so many times, I'm a few years older, just call me sister."

Shangguan Changyue pursed her lips. "Sister."

"Ah, that's more like it."

Princess Consort of Zhenbei, Leng Ruxue, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Her personality is the complete opposite of her name.

"There's no rush these days, why don't you come with me for a casual stroll around Qingyuan City?"

The two chatted idly inside the carriage.

Just as the carriage was about to enter the city gate.

At the gate, dozens of Qingyuan City officials, led by the city lord, came to the carriage and bowed respectfully.

"Welcome, Your Highness."

The surrounding people immediately followed suit, burying their heads deep in the ground.

Inside the carriage,

A glint of light flashed in Leng Ruxue's eyes, and she patted Shangguan Changyue's hand with a smile.

Shangguan Changyue got up and walked out.

His cool, aloof eyes swept over the officials of all ranks in Qingyuan City, and he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Your Highness, you must be tired from your journey and need to rest, so please don't trouble yourself any further."

"Let's go into town!"

Finally, Shangguan Changyue gave the coachman a word and turned back into the carriage.

The city lord's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He straightened his back, straightened his clothes, and looked back in the direction the carriage had gone.

"Lord City Lord, this Princess Consort is showing us absolutely no respect."

"Yeah yeah."

"I've heard this person is very favored, and some..."

"Shut up!"

The city lord glanced casually at the official who had spoken.

He was so frightened that he turned pale and lowered his head like an old quail.

At the front of the crowd, not far from the city lord, Zhuge Yucheng watched quietly, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

The princess came discreetly this time, without informing the city lord.

But they did not deliberately hide their whereabouts.

On the carriage.

Leng Ruxue resumed her languid expression.

"I heard you've taken in a prodigy from the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

"At such a young age, you have already reached the Blood Transformation Realm. You have the potential to become a Divine Realm expert in the future and become your right-hand man."

Leng Ruxue spoke very casually.

Because such achievements are not difficult.

For martial artists at the first or second realm, resources can be used to build up their realm.

The true potential of a martial artist can only be seen in the insurmountable barrier of the Divine Intent Realm.

Of course, this is a problem viewed from the perspective of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion.

What the Prince of Zhenbei truly values ​​is the Chief Commander of the Demon Suppression Division before him.

Shangguan Changyue nodded, without saying anything more.

This is also to protect Luo Chen.

She only had a general idea of ​​the purpose of the princess's visit.

Even just glimpsing a sliver of it felt incredibly dangerous.

Even with her current strength.

The slightest misstep could lead to being crushed and destroyed by the overwhelming force of the times.
