400 Nightshade Trading
It was already a winter night, the cold moonlight covered the land, and the bitter cold wind whirled around the mountains.
On the silent mountain road leading to the city of the king of Quran, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly shook the ground and the crows flew away.
On the towering blue city wall of the ancient Lan Kingdom, the torches reflect the heaven and the earth as bright as day, and a group of civil and military officials accompany them, surrounded by the purple robes and looking into the distance.
Until a group of knights rushed to the city wall like a whirlwind, reined in the horses, and bowed, he turned around and walked down the city tower quickly, rushed to the group from the open city gate, and helped up the man at the head, "General Xiao, don't be polite." ”
The person who came was Xiao Fan, who was originally to assist Ling Duo in governing the Aoshan Kui Xiaotai, and then rushed to the southeast by the royal edict to assist the Marquis of Zhenxi to attack the Beichen Kingdom, and now the Beichen Kingdom submitted a surrender letter willing to submit to the Gulan Kingdom, and ceded several cities and mineral veins adjacent to the north of the Gulan Kingdom to show the surrender of the heart.
But Xiao Fan rushed back not for the Beichen Kingdom to surrender the book.
He envoy took a Qiyun boat to Haiguo, and after leaving Dongli Island, he lost contact with the Black Armor Army left on Dongli Island, and the Black Armor Army stationed on Dongli Island did not dare to delay, and immediately sent soldiers back to Beichen Nangang and sent a message to Xiao Fan and Zhenxi Hou.
The queen of Beichen and the newly appointed young monarch Aode were also very concerned about this matter, and successively sent several ships to various ports and wharves in the sea country, but they were blocked by the unknown fog, and there was no way to pass through that sea area.
Later, the Qur'an Kingdom also sent ships to carry sailors and warlocks who were proficient in maritime affairs, and after several twists and turns, they finally entered the fog, and finally broke out of the fog, and found that they were still back to the original path.
People from all sides felt helpless.
The Marquis of Zhenxi was afraid that there was fraud in this matter, and he was not clear in the letter, so he sent Xiao Fan to return to the royal city in person to explain the situation to Zhen Tengfeng in detail, and the day before they arrived, the people of the Blazing Li League had also arrived in the royal city, and presented a handwritten letter left by the king of Rui when he rushed to the sea country after leaving Dongli Island.
"The patriarch of Dongli Island turned out to be Xuanyuan Han...!"
Zong Zhengqing, the imperial historian, has a lot of knowledge about the history of the Sea Kingdom, "This Xuanyuan Han is the eldest brother of the previous Sea Emperor, and he should have died young in the Temple Rebellion more than fifty years ago, and he is now more than seventy years old!"
The focus of the wind is on the relationship between Xuanyuan Han and the pharaoh of the Dove Spirit Clan, "The Dove Spirit Clan has infiltrated the East Fence Island, so the anomaly of the Sea Country now should also be related to the Dove Spirit Clan." ”
Li Fu frowned and said: "One is in the East China Sea and the other is in the Northern Frontier, even if the Guling Clan controls the power of the Garo Kingdom, this hand will inevitably stretch too long, can they eat it?"
His face was solemn, and he paced around the hall with his hands in his hands, raising his head and pondering, "The widow knows that this Sea Emperor Xuanyuan is arrogant and conceited, and he also guessed that there was fraud when he received his spirit bird message, so he first sent and made an envoy to go to find out, but he didn't expect that there would be such a strange sea fog on the sea, how did the Qiyun Boat cross in?"
The hall was silent and pondered, and after a while, Yan Yi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "General Xiao, can't you Black Eagle of Kui Xiaotai pass through?"
"No, after they pierced through the mist, there was no news, and a few of them floated out along the tide, all of them were corpses, and the fog was poisonous. ”
When Xiao Fan said this, he suddenly knelt down and begged: "King, please ask the king's envoys to sneak into the sea country." ”
Zong Zhengqing glanced at King Gulan's face, and saw that he had a trace of hesitation, so he dared to speculate on the holy will and said: "General Xiao, you have also tried many methods to cross the sea fog, but they are all illegal, and now you say that you want to sneak into the sea country, what do you mean?"
Xiao Fan looked up at King Gulan, and his resolute face was full of ambition: "In the end, we will dive into the sea water and lead from the sea to the port of the sea country, if this trip is successful, Zhenxi Hou and they have already developed a hidden dragon boat comparable to the ghost boat of the Jia Luo country, and then we can use our hidden dragon boat to pass through the bottom of the sea according to the law, and go to rescue Lord Yue and them." ”
When everyone heard this, they all secretly praised.
Zhen Tengfeng stepped forward to hold his arm and pulled him up, "The widow will send a message to Zhenxihou and ask him to arrange the most elite sea master to assist you, and everything will be at your disposal." ”
Xiao Fan bowed deeply to the King of Gulan with a solemn expression, he had only listened to You Xue's explanation and didn't think so, but then a series of measures by this emperor, as well as the edict of his own guilt for You Hong Zhaoxue were posted all over the Gulan territory, and his prejudice against this sick seedling began to waver, until this moment, he had surrendered willingly.
He didn't notice the change in his expression, his emotions were extremely complicated at the moment, both surprise and anxiety, all hidden under his cold and indifferent appearance.
He always believed that You Xue was still alive, and the letter from Yue Chengde also mentioned the reunion with You Xue.
As for that Guan Cunshan, Zhen Tengfeng had already thought of his identity, the archangel Gong Yushan who was framed and killed by Zeng Lan's two families back then.
He clearly remembered the words of Gong Yushan when he jumped off the altar of the holy fire after You Xue, 'The hundred-year-old grievances between the Li Kingdom and the Zhen clan are now over, and they will no longer owe each other from now on!'
He understood, but he couldn't figure it out, if he could understand that the death of Gong Yushan was driven by the ancestors, then what did the fall of the Li Kingdom have to do with the Zhen clan?
Did the first king hide something from him?
Until dawn, after everyone dispersed, he came to Tianshu Pavilion, he stepped up the steps, remembering the studious appearance of the girl who entered Tianshu Pavilion as soon as he was free, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips to show a nostalgic smile, but the smile didn't last long, when he pushed open the door and saw a red-clothed figure standing inside, his face suddenly changed.
The man turned around, and his eyes, which shimmered golden in the dark, were familiar, but different.
The guards had already been pushed downstairs by themselves, and he was the only one at this time.
"You're... "King Rui's letter briefly described this demon pharaoh who was somewhat similar to Xi Ye, so he had this speculation.
The red-clothed man on the opposite side had bewitching eyebrows and eyes, and his red lips hooked a playful smile, "Your Majesty of the Gulan Kingdom, I was surprised to see the deity, heh... I am none other than Yeqi, the first pharaoh of the dove spirits. ”
He took two steps back, not because he was afraid, he already knew that this night was like Xi Ye who wanted to get rid of the Dove Spirit Clan, so he would not do anything unfavorable to him, so he continued to say quietly: "What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the deity will not be rude to you for the sake of Miss Nanxing's face. This trip has brought good news and bad news, so as to make a deal with Your Majesty, would Your Majesty be willing to hear it?"
Zhen Tengfeng squinted at him for a while, before turning around and closing the door of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, and said, "You can tell me about it, if it is worthless, this palace is not a place where Your Excellency can come and go freely. ”
"It's interesting, I hope I didn't pick the wrong ally. Ye Yan crossed his arms and leaned on the bookshelf and said with a smile: "The good news is that you and your envoy's fleet have safely entered the imperial capital of Xiaocheng in Haiguoyi. ”
Zhen Tengfeng didn't have any doubts, with Ye Qi's identity and ability, there was no need to use this kind of thing to make people worse, "What's the bad news?"
Ye Yan smiled evilly, but his tone was a little cold: "Bad news, that letter for help was not sent by the self-righteous Sea Emperor of the Sea Kingdom, but from Lord Yan Li, the current head of the temple, Your Majesty wants to know who this Lord Yan Li is?"
"What are your conditions?" said Xuan Tengfeng coldly.
Ye Yan smiled brightly when he heard this, but the hideous black scar on his face looked a little evil and terrifying with his smile, "Actually, this deal is very simple, the deity has to stay in the South Star Tower for a while. ”
"No!" he refused categorically, and there was no room for negotiation.
Ye Yan seemed to have expected him to say this, his eyes were slightly scrutinizing and somewhat appreciative, "That's right," he frowned as he pretended to be distressed, "that deity can only stay in His Majesty's palace." ”
"It's not difficult, the widow will arrange it. Although he was afraid of this person, it was safer to keep it under his eyelids, and he learned that Ye Qi was now poisoned by the Kraken, and he couldn't afford to stir up many wind and waves.
"Ha, very good, it seems that the deity had too many disagreements with His Majesty before. Yan Li is the deceased national teacher of the Li Kingdom, and his other identity is the eldest brother of the former king of the Gulan Kingdom. ”
He looked at the face of this King of Gulan that changed color instantly, and finally laughed happily, still unwilling to test: "I don't know the inside story, maybe I can exchange it for a night in Nanxing Tower?"
"Elder Yeqi should stay in the palace with peace of mind, the widow will definitely be hospitable. ”
