Chapter 39: The Need for Rest
Next to him, Situ Zhe also looked at the attic with a calm face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNot far away, the lights were bright, and the guards were coming in and out, and no one noticed that the two figures were silently hidden in the darkness.
Silent... Just when Situ Zhe thought that Lan Yeming would not answer, he heard an affirmative voice, "Master"!
The eyes that were as calm as an ancient well flashed slightly, and a cold smile bloomed. "The person who can escape from the hands of the Southern Hades King is indeed a master!"
After staring at it for a long time, Lan Yeming retracted his gaze, as if he hadn't heard Situ Zhe's reply, turned around and nodded slightly at Chu Hengjue: "This king needs to rest for a while!
Chu Hengjue was stunned at first, and then spoke: "Yes, what do you need to talk to me directly!"
After a sleepless night, several people in the hunting ground also left one after another with their own thoughts under the first departure of the blue night, and returned to the palace where they stayed.
Inside the Motu Palace
In the hall, the elegant sandalwood was burning quietly, and Ai Ruyue was sitting at the table in white, her face was a little serious. There were two old men standing on the side, one of whom was the dull old man in the attic of the hunting ground. The expressions of these two people are also very solemn. After a while, another pale-faced old man spoke, his voice a little sharp: "Princess don't need to worry too much, looking at the situation in today's hunting ground, Lingyun and Lan Zhao don't have the slightest intention of making trouble, especially Lingyun Kingdom, after all, the treasure was stolen in their country." ”
"That's the case, but the thief this time is indeed acting a little strangely, since he came to steal, why don't he steal all the treasures?" Ai Ruyue frowned.
A slightly hoarse voice came from the mouth of the dull old man: "Maybe this is what makes this man smart! First, if he really stole all the treasures, then he would be far more angry now! Second, stealing only a few treasures will not only make it more difficult to trace, but also increase the mutual suspicion of the three kingdoms, just like now!"
Another old man couldn't help but gasp after hearing this: "This can be described as killing three birds with one stone! If this is the case, this person should not be underestimated!"
"But," the old man hesitated, "maybe it's not impossible that this person's purpose is really only those three treasures." ”
Ai Ruyue listened to the analysis of the two, her eyebrows became more and more frowned, she didn't care much about this person's intentions at this time, she raised her hand to stop the two, and her red lips opened slightly: "Don't forget the purpose of our visit to Lingyun this time, does Grandpa Bai remember that person said that the colorful lotus is an indispensable medicine?"
The pale-faced old man frowned a little when he heard this, "But princess, when we visited the Doctor in disguise a few days ago, he didn't mention the Colorful Lotus, you must know that our family's condition is..." For a moment, the three fell silent.
Sighing softly, Ai Ruyue looked a little tired. The cold temperament added a bit of helplessness and sadness, "Before the end of this trip, ask the free doctor to take action at all costs! As for this big competition and everything that happened tonight, let's take the opportunity to act!"
"Yes"
…
Compared with the situation on Ai Ruyue's side, the atmosphere in Lan Zhaoxing's palace is a little weird!
In the conference hall, in addition to Situ Zhe, who was wearing a pale yellow gold-inlaid robe and quietly drinking tea, there were three other people sitting there with different expressions, two of them were a young man and a cold old man in the attic of today's hunting ground.
The young man looked at Situ Zhe, who looked at him with a comfortable demeanor, and shouted angrily: "Situ Zhe, what kind of attitude do you have, the colorful lotus is lost, you still have the heart to drink tea!" And the other two looked calm as if they were used to it, and the mode of getting along with the four of them would be surprised if any one in the outside world saw it, and the prince's guards dared to yell at the master!
And this prince elegantly put down the cup in his hand and said slowly: "Do you need this prince to remind you that this colorful lotus was stolen under whose guard?" A trace of murderous intent flashed in his drooping eyelids, and no one noticed!
"You—" The young man gritted his teeth!
"That's enough, Chen Li! This time it was indeed our dereliction of duty. The cold old man opened his mouth to stop, staring at Situ Zhe with a sharp gaze like an eagle, and spoke again: "However, how does the prince plan to report to the Great Elder? In our mission this time, the colorful lotus is an important prop!"
After straightening out the folds of the robe that did not exist, Situ Zhe got up and said lightly: "This is not important, can't the result be achieved?"
The young man Chen Li sneered when he heard this, and his face was arrogant: "It's light to say, now that there is no Colorful Lotus, how can Mo Tu still work hard! Moreover, Lingyun's situation is also a little complicated, only Chu Liuhao's waste can't become a big deal!"
"Prince Ben thinks that what you need to think about now is not this!, but how to remedy the theft of the Colorful Lotus tonight. What does Chen Gongzi think?" Chen Li got up angrily when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to argue.
The gray-robed old man, who had been sitting next to the cold old man and had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Okay, Elder Ben knows about tonight's incident, and I will report it to the eldest brother truthfully! Indeed, as Ah Zhe said, what we have to do now is to track down the murderer and strive to take back the Colorful Lotus!" After speaking, his eyes opened, his gaze was like a torch, and he glanced at Chen Li lightly, and the latter immediately bowed his head respectfully!
"According to what you say, the theft of this hunting ground today is indeed not simple, and the treasures have not been taken away, but it seems that this person came directly to these three treasures or one of them. And judging from the poison powder that this person used tonight, he should be very good at making poison, and there are really not many people on this continent who can make such poison. Fifth Elder, are you sure that this poisonous powder was made by that person?" the gray-robed old man asked the cold old man.
"Yes, that person personally admitted that he made it himself when he talked to Ghost Hand, and it sped up the time for the effect to spread!" the Fifth Elder replied with a hint of affirmation in his tone.
The gray-robed old man had more wrinkles on his face when he heard this, although he didn't realize the power of the poisonous powder, but he knew the strength of the five elders, who could it be?
"Is it possible to be free?" the Fifth Elder guessed. Although that evil doctor is not on the same path as them, he has to admit that his medical skills are very powerful!
The gray-robed old man nodded, "Although I haven't heard that he can use poison, but since ancient times, there has been no separation between medicine and poison. He, it's not impossible. Several people were immersed in their own thoughts, but no one noticed that the corners of Situ Zhe's eyes jumped when he heard Xiaoyao's name! This man really needs to see him again, maybe there will be unexpected gains!
In the end, several people also went back to their rooms to rest!
