Chapter 72 Corpse Ancestor Surrenders
The far suburbs of Luoyang to the north are close to Mengjin.

In the half-large village that had been abandoned for a long time, Sanqianyuan squinted his eyes, wiped the still bloody human skin with snow, and then carefully put it on his face without any scruples.

Then, he took out a lifelike face from his arms.

At his feet, the skinned corpse lay faceless, eyes open, body stiff.

Sanqianyuan crouched down, took out another small bottle from his arms, and then sprinkled the potion in it on the bloody face of the corpse in a very regular manner.

After a moment, the flesh on his face began to move.

Upon seeing this, Sanqianyuan pasted the lifelike face on tightly. In a few moments, the face looked as if it were original, without any flaws visible.

"hiss……"

Sanqianyuan pinched his chin, pulled at the clothes he had changed, and then gathered his inner strength in his palm and slapped the corpse's right chest from a distance. Then he leaned over and pushed aside the corpse's clothes, comparing them with his own palm.

The palm print is indeed three points smaller, but there is no ghostly aura around it.

He frowned and stood up to think.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside.

Someone saw a horse of the imperial guards tied outside and called out.

"Ma San, you rushed forward like this, did you achieve great success?!"

Sanqianyuan came out from behind the wall holding a knife, his lips trembling, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

"I have found the body of King Jiyin..."

The few horsemen who came from outside were all shocked, and then they dismounted and rushed over.

Sanqianyuan was pushed aside by the leader of the team, but he was not angry. He just explained: "I followed the trail and saw that there was only one path left for the two horses to escape to the north. I wanted to wait for you, but I saw the King of Jiyin buried under the haystack over there."

A few people looked in the direction of his finger and saw a messy pile of wet grass.

There were still some grass roots on the hair of the dead body on the ground.

The team leader was stunned at first, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but he saw that Sanqianyuan's face was full of uncontrollable satisfaction.

"It must be the Prince of Jiyin! I have made great contributions. When you see me in the future, I am afraid you will have to call me General..."

The leader of the team instantly exchanged glances with the other cavalrymen.

Over there, Sanqianyuan was still proudly saying: "When the time comes, I will not forget you because we have been comrades for many years..."

But soon, his voice gradually softened.

The leader's eyes turned red, and he said in a deep voice: "Ma San, I'm afraid you can't handle such a great achievement by yourself, right?"

Beside him, several other cavalrymen had already drawn their swords halfway out of their sheaths.

Sanqianyuan's face froze for a moment, and then he laughed dryly: "There is still a Jin spy on the run, you..."

"How can a mere spy compare to the great achievement of finding the body of Prince Jiyin? His Majesty has decreed that whoever finds the body of the former emperor will be promoted three levels and rewarded with a thousand gold coins. Can you afford it all by yourself?" The team leader had a sullen look on his face and pointed at the neck of the dead body on the ground with the tip of his knife.

"I have a plan that will allow all of you brothers to gain merit, but I don't know if Sanlang is willing to do so."

The several cavalrymen around instantly scattered and surrounded the Sanqian Courtyard.

The latter dared not disobey and had to respond.

"Everyone listens to the boss..."

------

An object covered with a cloth was held by someone and waited under the horse.

Zhu Hanbin frowned, dismounted, and asked someone to open it.

As the cloth was lifted up piece by piece, a young boy's head finally slowly emerged.

Zhu Hanbin's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Afterwards, the two bad guys who pretended to be his personal generals also panicked for a moment and subconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife.

Zhu Hanbin felt as if he was on edge, fearing that the two men would go crazy and behead him in public with knives. He repeatedly pressed his hands to calm them down, and at the same time kept shouting, "How dare you dismember the body of King Jiyin!" The leader of the team, with a few cavalrymen not far away, knelt on the ground, but no one dared to answer.

Zhu Hanbin was furious. He could understand the tricks of these people. They were just imitating the story of "Five Marquises' Dismemberment" in the early Han Dynasty so that everyone could get credit.

"The Jin people are clearly quite powerful, how could they just leave the King of Jiyin here and flee alone!?"

The leader of the team in front did not dare to answer, but now he could lie with his eyes open: "When I and others caught up with them, the Jin man was already seriously injured. He knew he was no match for us, so he killed the King of Jiyin and wanted to escape with his head. Fortunately, we fought hard to snatch it away. However, he still had some skills and was able to escape on his own..."

"Eat dog intestines! Do you have the ability to do this?!"

Zhu Hanbin was speechless, but the situation at that time was only known to the five people in front of him, and he had no reason to arrest and torture them based on this.

"Immediately report to your majesty that the body of the King of Jiyin has been found and the Jin thieves are still on the run. I hope you can order all towns to impose martial law and arrest any suspicious persons."

But then, he suddenly froze again.

Now he has already done a great job in defending the king, and now the body of Li Yu or Xiao Yan was retrieved after he had his men chased after them, so it can be counted as a merit. And the most crucial point is that, as Xiao Yan said later, he did not bear the infamy of regicide, and was able to control the military power...

Moreover, it was the most unexpected and pleasantly surprised him.

Is that Xiao Yan really dead?
He was frightened at first, but then he remembered what the Hades Emperor had said, claiming that Xiao Yan would surely die if he was hit with all his strength.

Unable to conceal his joy, Zhu Hanbin was on guard against the two bad guys behind him. He immediately ordered the rest of the men to continue chasing northward. At the same time, he personally led his men to escort the body of King Jiyin back to Luoyang.

Several rows of cavalry dispersed again, some heading south and some heading north, and rushed out on horseback in an instant.

After a long time, a horse approached.

Zhu Hanbin frowned and recognized him as Ma San, who had achieved second place.

"General, I have a secret to tell you, and I hope you can get rid of the guards."

"What's the matter?"

"Someone asked me to bring a message to the general."

Hearing these words that seemed to have been heard somewhere before, Zhu Hanbin felt a sudden chill down his spine and his eyes widened slightly.

When only the two bad guys were left around, Sanqianyuan grinned and lowered his voice.

"Xiao Yan, the dark star, congratulates the governor on his promotion."

------

Amid the turbulence, a mechanical sound finally rang in my mind.

"'Sword Intent' awakens the host for the twenty-seventh time..."

"Awakening successful, internal energy conversion begins - the host's body has been completely converted into pure yang internal energy..."

"Warning, the skills the host practiced in the previous life are not suitable for the current environment. Do you want to forcibly absorb the evil spirit in the body? Please note that if there is no suitable skills, the host will have a 300% chance of backlash..."

"Beginning to absorb forcefully..."

……

On the bank of the Yellow River, in the jurisdiction of Shanzhou, a carriage was parked next to the inn.

"Yes, book all the guest rooms. This beauty does not like the noise of mortals."

Ji Ruxue took the gold ingot thrown to her by the tall figure, was silent for a moment, and walked into the inn.

The latter pursed her lips and smiled, brushed her long pink hair away from her cheeks, lifted the curtain and walked in.

But then, she was suddenly stunned.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Yan was sweating all over and his face was pale. At this moment, his eyes were one blue and one black, which was very captivating.

But he just sat back, chuckling under his breath.

"We finally meet, my ancestor."
