Chapter 702: Bloodthirsty Bullet Poison Bee Swarm Crisis
"Well, that city is called Guicheng, and it is in the east of the Imperial City, and we are in the hinterland of the prairie in the westernmost part of the Imperial City at the moment, even if we travel day and night, I'm afraid it will take at least two months. But the problem is that the horses in our carriage have been running around for five years, and their physical strength is not as good as before. Moreover, the horses also had to rest, and it was impossible to run to the city in one go. In addition, we now have no hidden guards to protect us, and we have to avoid those bandit-ridden areas along the way. We also have to beware of the secret forces that covet the position of the crown prince to attack our family, and we can't clearly show the true identity of our family of four, so we rush directly to Guicheng without any scruples. So I estimate that it will take three or four months to get to Guicheng at the earliest. One of the most troublesome problems is that you will pass through the imperial city on the way. It is bound to reveal our identities and pass it on to your imperial grandfather, and I have already made an agreement with your imperial grandfather. If there is no suitable reason, your imperial grandfather will not let our family of four go to Guicheng. After all, I am the crown prince, and your illness has been cured. There's no reason why I shouldn't take you back to the palace right away, and go back to help your imperial grandfather take care of the government. ”
Father thought for a moment, and said with some embarrassment.
"What your father said is exactly what I am worried about, so this matter cannot be rushed, I am afraid that I will have to think about it in the long run. What's more, we met Yan Susu in Guicheng the year before last, and two years have passed, and it is inevitable that there will be unpredictable variables. Who knows if Yan Susu is still in Guicheng now?I think, if you can't find Yan Susu's unconscious body, just rescuing the soul in the tower won't make her return to you in the real sense, right?"
The mother concubine frowned and analyzed objectively.
"Yes, brother, why don't we find a way to return to the palace safely first, and then send a trusted henchman to inquire about Yan Susu's whereabouts, and then find a way to save her after confirming Yan Susu's exact whereabouts and situation?"
Sister Qingxuan also suggested approvingly.
After listening to what my father and the three of them said, I calmed down and thought about it, and felt that it made sense. Now, after all, two years have passed, and there are indeed too many variables.
In addition, the news of Yan Susu's death and resurrection the year before last must have spread throughout the mortal world, and my mother-in-law in the Imperial City Treasure Pavilion is by no means an idle person, maybe she has already heard about this earth-shattering and bizarre event in Guicheng.
With her intelligence, her eagerness to find her daughter, and her ability, she might have rushed to Guicheng to rescue Yan Susu's soul in the White Tower, and took her daughter back to the Treasure Pavilion.
As for my father and the emperor in the past two years, they had nightmares about Yan Susu in the White Tower calling for help, and later, under the protection of the hidden guards, they were able to turn evil into good fortune, I suspect that the wrench in my hand is secretly working.
Because Yan Susu also has a wrench in his hand, which is a pair with mine, I believe that no matter how far apart Yan Susu and I are, we can more or less echo each other through the wrench, and we can share life and death.
It is not even ruled out that Yan Susu, who has fallen into a coma, can sense that I am in danger through the wrench, and it is not impossible to secretly protect me through the wrench.
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the experience of my father and the emperor in the past two years, although they are dangerous and abnormal, but they are safe and sound.
It's just that I don't know much about this wrench at the moment, and the spells I have mastered are also pitiful, so I can't sense the current situation of Madame Susu through it.
Thinking of this, I think it is right to return to the Imperial City first.
At that time, I will go to the Treasure Pavilion to visit my mother-in-law as soon as possible, if Yan Susu is really there, and Guan Guan is also there, then our family of three can be regarded as a reunion.
But if Yan Susu is not in the Treasure Pavilion, then I will tell my mother-in-law all this, see if she has any good suggestions, and then I will decide on the next step.
"Alright then, let's go back to the Imperial City first. It's just that before entering the palace, I want to go to the Treasure Pavilion to visit my mother-in-law, tell her about Yan Susu, and then see my daughter. Then go back to the palace to greet the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother, okay?"
After thinking about all this, I looked at my father and asked.
"Of course you can, since it's my own mother, your mother and I should go to visit. By the way, look at my precious granddaughter. Ha ha. ”
The father replied without objection, when mentioning my daughter Guanguan, the mood became very good, and obviously he also liked the child very much, after all, Guanguan was his first granddaughter.
"Yes, I can hug my niece. Hee-hee. ”
Sister Qingxuan shouted excitedly.
"I'm afraid you can't hold it. Your niece was a one-year-old baby ten years ago, but she is a ten-year-old girl today. Do you think you can hold it? Unless she's from another world, that's hard to say. ”
The concubine said with a faint smile, and looked at me meaningfully when she said the last few words.
"Ah, no, are they ten years old? I want to see my niece's cute appearance when she was a child. I like baby girls the most. Well, mother, do you mean that if your niece comes from another world, she is still a baby like she was ten years ago?
Sister Qingxuan said with some regret.
When I heard my mother mention that it was possible to come from other worlds and was still a baby, I looked at my mother with a surprised face and asked.
"The concubine's guess is not unreasonable. To be honest, this living treasure daughter of mine always doesn't seem to grow up, and I still don't understand what the hell is going on. So it's very likely that when we return to the Imperial City, she's still a one-year-old baby girl. However, for me, as long as she is safe, even if she never grows up, I will take care of her for the rest of her life. ”
I also sighed in my heart.
"Feiyang, you're right, it doesn't matter if my precious granddaughter grows slower, or even if she grows up or not. As long as she's safe, healthy and happy. Okay, that's all for later, let's talk about it later. Let's get back to the point, since everyone has decided to go straight back to the Imperial City, let's wait for me to look at the map and find the nearest way back. However, no matter what, it would be nice for us to be back in the Imperial City for at least a month. ”
My father patted me on the shoulder and said approvingly.
As he spoke, he took out a scrolled map from his bosom and examined it carefully.
I also came to my father's side to see where we were at the moment.
"Shhh
"Poof!"
Just as I was curiously looking at the ancient map, there was a sudden wail of a horse outside the carriage, and the sound of a horse falling to the ground and struggling.
Instinctively, my father drew a knife from his waist and gestured for us to be silent, then got up and cautiously lifted the curtain of the carriage door to take a look.
As soon as he opened it and took a look, he quickly lowered the curtain and said with a serious expression: "Oops! We are surrounded by bloodthirsty bullets and poisonous bees! Don't open the curtains!"
Hearing her father say this, the mother concubine held her sister Qingxuan in her arms, lest she be too scared and exclaim.
My sister also covered her mouth desperately with both hands, for fear that she really couldn't help but shout out, attracting the poisonous bees outside to get into the carriage, and we had nowhere to hide.
And after I heard my father's words clearly, I also closed my eyes for the first time and turned on the soul clairvoyance ability, first condensed a layer of invisible protective light film to protect the four of us, and then looked out of the carriage.
Because of this layer of light film, no matter how many poisonous bees outside, they will never want to bite the four of us.
When I saw the situation around the carriage through my soul clairvoyance ability, I found that the carriage was surrounded by thousands of disgusting poisonous bees, and it seemed that it was gathering strength to launch the most powerful attack on the carriage.
In my memory, this kind of bloodthirsty bullet poison bee swarm, known as the grassland killer, once learned about it when I watched a foreign documentary in the modern society of the yang world, saying that this kind of poisonous bee is ten times larger than the average poisonous bee, bloodthirsty, contains highly toxic in the body, and the attack power is very terrifying, and the fastest speed can reach the bullet, so it is named the bloodthirsty bullet poisonous bee.
They usually forage in groups, and there is no living creature in the place where they pass, and dozens of head bees first look at the vital points of the prey's body, and suddenly attack, shooting into the prey like bullets, instantly poisoning the prey and sucking blood in the body.
When they have enough to feed and crawl out of their prey through their blood holes, other venomous bees will swarm up and start sucking the remaining blood of their prey, and only when only skin and bones are left before leaving to find the next prey.
So at this moment, I saw that the two horses lying on the ground had dozens of blood holes bubbling with black blood all over their bodies, and apparently there was a head bee sucking blood in each of them.
Without looking closely, I was sure that the two horses had been poisoned to death.
Soon I saw poisonous bees with round bellies slowly crawling out of the blood hole, staggering and flying away.
Then, the other long-awaited bees swooped down, covering the two horses in the blink of an eye, and as the black bees wriggled all over the horse's body, I could feel the two horses begin to shrink, and I believe it would not be long before only skin and bones remained.
Although I know that no matter how many poisonous bees there are, they can't penetrate my invisible light film and harm our family of four.
But after losing two horses, we could not leave the prairie in a carriage.
And I don't want to spend my precious soul power to kill these thousands of poisonous bees, after all, there are so many of them that even if I can kill them all, then my soul power will be left very little.
And we are in the hinterland of the uninhabited prairie at the moment, and who knows what crisis will come next, so it is wise for my soul power to be used wisely.
Although it seems that my ghost lady has been secretly protecting us for the last year or two before I have regained my adult memory, that is just my speculation, and since I have completely recovered my adult memory at this point, and I have heard my mother say that the female ghost only makes a call when I am asleep and only appears in my dreams, so I am not sure that she can continue to protect us.
Besides, it's unclear if she's still trapped in the tower, and I can't always trouble her to protect our family of four.
So I have to rely on myself to protect my father and the three of them.
And the top priority is to get out of the encirclement of poisonous bees as soon as possible, and then hurry on the road, leave this grassland, and when you leave the grassland, you will not encounter this terrible poisonous bee again.
It's just that the horse is dead now, and there is no point in having an empty carriage, so I'll have to find another way to get there.
Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered a magic weapon that I had almost forgotten, once I used this magic weapon, I am afraid that in just one day, our family of four will be able to fly back to the imperial city directly.
As for this magic weapon, it is the golden armor chariot hidden in my eyebrows......
