Chapter 438 The sword has been unsheathed and the arrow has been cocked
[Guard Xie Yuchuan completed 1/10 of the Panlongling bandit suppression mission, system energy +283, points +150. 】
【Have completed one instance of eliminating harm for the people, please check the rewards for completing the task. (Already stored in the system backpack)]
While walking at night, I heard two system prompts in succession.
Tu Hua opened the interface and saw the "reward" sent by the system in her backpack, which was a pack of seeds.
Looking up at the back of Xie Yuchuan's galloping horse.
For a moment, Tu Hua didn't know how to talk to him about suppressing bandits.
She always felt that Xie Yuchuan was too thoughtful.
Tu Hua sat in the antler car and never spoke. She thought that Xie Yuchuan would be busy tonight, so if she didn't have to, she would not disturb him in the middle of the trip and talk about it later.
If he concentrates on suppressing the bandits, she may easily influence them if she talks too much beside him.
I originally acted to take care of Xie Yuchuan, but I didn't expect that after Xie Yuchuan wiped out a small group of bandits, he still didn't hear the echo of the family god in his ears. His heart sank slightly and he had more distracting thoughts.
More than two hundred thieves died in one night.
He couldn't grasp for a moment what the Xie family gods would think about this move.
There is no voice of the gods in my ears, only the sound of the fierce wind in winter.
As if he deliberately ignored this disturbing point, Xie Yuchuan calmed his eyes and continued to rush forward with the group of people behind him firmly in his eyes.
The sword has been unsheathed, the arrow has been strung, and there is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
Half an hour later, dozens of people sent out a signal in a dark place behind a mountain!
Not long after, a team that had been waiting nearby for a long time jumped out to meet Xie Yuchuan after receiving the signal.
"General!!!"

Daliang Palace in the capital.
Late at night, everything is quiet. Inside and outside the Qianqing Palace, only the palace guards who were on duty at night were doing their duty at the palace gates. Ordinary palace residents were not allowed to move around at will, and violators would be punished on the spot.
In the deep and dark imperial chamber, Emperor Longqing of Daliang had not had a good sleep for several nights.
On the dragon bed, under the bright yellow brocade quilt, Liang Emperor Xiahou Jie frowned, thrashing about on the pillow from time to time, his eyes closed tightly and deep in a nightmare, seemingly unable to escape in every possible way, breaking out in a cold sweat .
In the bedroom, it was neither cold nor hot tonight. The night watcher was leaning against the door, waiting for the servants at any time.
In the curtain, I don’t know how long I have been tossing it, but it suddenly became quiet for a while.
A pair of eyes as dark as ink abyss slowly opened in the darkness.
The frightening moment in the dream seems to be still washing away in my heart. The scenes of smoke and smoke in front of my bright and dim eyes are as if I are seeing it with my own eyes at this moment, which makes people breathless.
The sound of heavy breathing gradually became calmer than thunderous.
The darkness in front of me and the confusion that could not be discerned between reality and illusion slowly dissipated with the sound of my heartbeat that slowly calmed down.
Finally returned to the real palace.
Xia Houjie swallowed silently, and then realized that his mouth was extremely dry.
"Come here! Bring water!"
A hoarse and dangerous voice came from the dragon bed.
Soon, someone from the palace was holding a cup of water and kneeling in front of the dragon couch.
"Your Majesty."
An arm stretched out from the middle, and then the curtain was pulled open. Another palace man next to him had quick eyesight and quickly stepped forward to pick up the curtain for his son and tied it to the side. .
Xiahou Jie spread his legs and sat on the edge of the bed with his eyes narrowed.
The palace servant at his feet raised the tray in his hand. Xiahou Jie glanced coldly, took a cup and took two sips of warm water to moisten his throat.
"What time is it?"
"Go back to the emperor, it's already past midnight."
Xiahou Jie finished moistening his throat and waved his hands impatiently. Several palace people did not dare to come. It was annoying in front of the emperor and he quickly left the inner room.
No one knows what this emperor with a changeable temperament is thinking as he sits beside the dragon bed tonight.
The black ink stone floor looks even more lonely in the dark night. The ground is obviously cold, but in this winter, stepping on it with bare feet does not freeze your feet.
My feet felt warm from the smoke of the palace people.
Xia Houjie, wearing loose clothes, walked down from the low stool with his bare feet on the ground. The expression on his face was gloomy and cold.
The emperor's palace is the most luxurious.
But this luxurious palace built with all the wealth in the world has made it impossible for him to sleep well these past few days!
Irritability is increasing day by day.
The chaos in the dream and the disturbing scenes made him unable to sleep at all tonight.
The emperor's frantic footsteps ran rampant in the middle of the night, and every step stepped on the lives of the palace residents.
Everyone was as silent as a cicada, waiting carefully
The Daliang Palace was as quiet as a dead person, making people breathless.
The crow circled in the sky above Daliang Palace.
Late at night, the emperor, who could not sleep, took his palace guards out of the palace incognito and went to relax outside the palace.
The palace generals were also shocked when they saw the holy driver late at night.
A disguised palace car left the palace late at night and headed towards the prosperous place in the capital.
Winter in the capital seems to be colder earlier than in previous years.
It was late at night in every household in the East City, and they had already fallen asleep one after another. A carriage creaked through the silence of the streets, and finally stopped in front of a large house.
As soon as the carriage and horses stopped, the door on the steps opened in response.
A man trotted out quickly. It was so late at night, but he was neatly dressed and energetic. It was obvious that he had packed up here early and had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty is here. I am sorry to hear you come from afar, but I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
Xiahou Jie got down from the car, glanced at Duke Qiu, and said calmly: "I'm sorry. I'm not very sleepy tonight, so I came to play chess with my beloved. I wonder if I can disturb you?"
"Your Majesty, this is embarrassing for me. Long live your visit to my humble residence and talk to me, this is my humble minister. What a blessing, why bother, Your Majesty, it’s cold at night, please come inside!”
In the dark night, Xiahou Jie’s cold expression seemed to be getting better.
The Qiu family suddenly picked up the driver late at night, and everyone in the house was shocked.
Qiu Guogong kept his spirits up while accompanying him, and quickly asked the people in the mansion to prepare supper for the emperor, and specially invited Xiahou Jie to play chess in the most elegant courtyard of Qingyun.
The Duke's Mansion lit a fire to heat the kang all night long.
In the conservatory, the door lintel is half open, and there is a landscape garden and a pond under the corridor. The simple courtyard scenery, sitting so quietly in the quiet night, can really make people feel a little irritable. My mood gradually calmed down.
"I didn't expect that the scenery in Qiu Mansion is so quiet, pleasant and unique. I came at the right time tonight." Startled.
Although I served the emperor with trepidation in my heart, he suddenly visited his ministers' residence late at night.
But the old Duke was experienced, and there was no trace of nervousness or impatience on his face. Instead, he slowly took out his favorite ink jade chess piece and placed it in front of the emperor as if it were a treasure.
"Your Majesty, come all the way to the wind and warm yourself up."
