Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bad Signals and Heavier Responsibility
Today's Xianren Lake is too complicated and dangerous, so Nangong Yu left Li Yimeng at the inn, and Xiao Ran also went out early in the morning in order to collect intelligence.
So, Nangong Yu came outside alone to prepare for a survey.
"Guest officer, are you eating or staying in the hotel" Nangong Yu casually approached an inn, and as soon as he walked in, the second child in the store immediately came out to greet him.
"Find me a quiet corner," Nangong Yu said lightly.
"Okay, guest officer, please" Under the leadership of Xiao Er, Nangong Yu came to a more remote seat in the inn, if you want to say what is the fastest place to collect intelligence now, the inn is a well-deserved place, here comes and goes, the crowd is noisy, and people who come here to eat in the past will choose to exchange their information here.
"Have you heard, it is said that someone found ......... in the south of Xianren Lake before?"
In the face of these chaotic conversations, what Nangong Yu had to do was to sift through the information he wanted.
In this way, Nangong Yu sat in this inn for a whole morning.
"Tell me, isn't it a little strange that I've come across this," said a man dressed as a hunter.
"What's wrong?" asked the Great Khan on the side.
"Two days ago, I went hunting in the mountains and found that there were a lot of people and horses who had closed our hunting area there," Orion said with a look of annoyance, "You judge the reasoning, we always have to rely on hunting to eat, these so-called big forces are really unreasonable."
"We Orions spontaneously went to them to reason, but they were directly unreasonable and beat a few Orions of our peers," the Orion said very puzzled, "I just can't figure it out, what is there to seal in that mountain forest, and there are no rare treasures."
"Hey~".
"Okay, just bear with it, these powerful people are not something you and I can afford to provoke," the big man on the side persuaded.
"Dare to ask this friend, where is the Orion area you said" Nangong Yu walked over and quietly stuffed a silver coin into this Orion in his hand.
"This little friend is polite, I said that the Orion area is fifteen miles southwest of Xianren Lake."
Orion also said the address very happily, in his opinion, he took Nangong Yu's silver coin, which is also a disguised transaction with Nangong Yu to trade his own information, this is a normal transaction.
"Okay, thank you" Nangong Yu left the inn after thanking him.
Walking out into the street, he began to clean up the information he had gathered that morning, and this information was undoubtedly the most important in the end.
Nangong Yu's purpose of coming here is to see the legendary immortal treasures, and secondly, to find Dongfang Hua's whereabouts.
Dongfang Hua, as the head of the Dongfang family, the emperor of the current imperial capital, it is impossible for him to have no power of his own, and now that he has disappeared without a trace, then he only has two possibilities, one is that he is trapped somewhere and cannot contact the outside world, and the other is that he has been killed.
Now when he heard the news of Orion, he had a feeling that this Orion area would give him a lot of surprises, thinking like this, Nangong Yu's pace accelerated again, and he was busy returning to the previous inn to discuss with Xiao Ran and Li Yimeng.
"This brother is walking so fast, but what's the matter" A young man blocked Nangong Yu's way.
After Nangong Yu was stopped, his brows tightened, obviously a little displeased.
When he was most anxious, he was stopped and changed to anyone would be displeased, he raised his head and looked at the person in front of him carefully, and he was stunned when he saw the appearance of this person.
That's right, stunned.
It is never an exaggeration to say that the young man in front of him is a young man wearing a peach blossom pattern and a peach-colored robe, why is he said that he is a country and a city, because he has a face that even women are jealous of, delicate facial features, and tender white skin, if he didn't have a man's Adam's apple, Nangong Yu really thought that the young man in front of him was a peerless beauty.
Looking at Nangong Yu's surprised eyes, the young man also seemed to be used to this kind of look, and waved his hand in front of Nangong Yu.
"You don't have to doubt it, I'm a man" The young man said helplessly, he didn't blame Nangong Yu for being like this, after all, he had been used to other people's surprised eyes since he was a child.
"Eh, I'm sorry" Nangong Yu also realized his faux pas, and hurriedly apologized.
"It's okay, I'm used to it," said the young man, "Childe, can I get rid of you one thing".
"You say it first, and then discuss whether you agree or not," Nangong Yu said.
"I just want you to promise me to protect the safety of the person you are going to save next, okay" The young man looked at Nangong Yu with a sincere face.
When he heard this, Nangong Yu immediately became vigilant, but when he saw the young man's sincere eyes, he let down his guard again.
"You know him" The other party didn't say Dongfang Hua's name, and Nangong Yu didn't say it easily, after all, he didn't know whether the other party was a friend or an enemy.
"Hmm," the young man nodded.
"Are you sure where I go next, he will definitely be here?" Since the other party can find himself, then the other party must have his own information, in this case, he simply found out at once.
"He's here, I'm sure," the young man nodded affirmatively.
"Since you know where he is, why don't you go" Nangong Yu asked, since the other party knew Dongfang Hua's location, why didn't the other party save it, but chose to let himself save it, Nangong Yu looked at the young man.
"Because it's a miracle that I've been here, and I can't protect myself," the young man smiled bitterly.
"Okay, he'll leave it to me" Nangong Yu was about to turn around and walk with the young man, and the young man immediately gave Nangong Yu a look.
"Don't look back, hurry up," the young man said with a nervous face.
Although he didn't know what the other party meant, Nangong Yu did it just in case.
"Second prince, why are you here" Several guard-looking people walked over, on the surface, these people were concerned about the safety of the young man, but in fact, they immediately came over and forced the young man to leave.
"This person is the second prince today?" Nangong Yu, who was secretly observing not far away, said in his heart, "Now that even the dignified prince has been restricted from freedom, so what is going on in the court today" Nangong Yu's brows couldn't help but win.
It is not difficult to see from the movements of the guards beside the second prince that they are not as simple as protecting the second prince on the surface, through the tone of the second prince's speech to himself just now and the helplessness that appeared, it is not difficult for Nangong Yu to see that these people are actually here to spy on the second prince.
"The imperial capital is in chaos now," Nangong Yu began to think about the worse situation in the imperial capital now.
Now he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, and he didn't know why the more he came into contact with the truth behind the various events in the imperial capital, the more he felt that it was not easy to deal with these things, and the burden of the second brother who had been at the center of the whirlpool of these events should be heavy.
Imagine that the current Nangong Sheng in the imperial capital not only has to fight with his political enemy, the Fifth Nian Shi, but also tries to reverse the gradual decline of the imperial court under the control of mysterious forces, it is conceivable how heavy the burden on Nangong Sheng's shoulders should be.
