Chapter 293: Imperial City
I went to the beach and washed my blood-stained hands, and I washed the dagger so that I could not put it on my waist again. Gao Yanli sat on the beach and watched the clouds gather: "Then are you waiting for the floating island here, or are you going to the imperial city?"
"Rumors have it that the floating island has sent a message that not only changed the settlement to Akamatsu Village, but also postponed the date of approaching the shallow sea - it will not enter the shallow sea of Akamatsu Village until the night of the new moon half a month later. It seems that something unusual has occurred at sea. I took out a towel and wiped the water from my hands.
Gao gradually left me after wiping my hands, and also stood up and prepared to go back to the village together.
"Whatever the anomaly is, though, it's a good thing for me. Half a month is enough time for me to go to the Imperial City to check on Ying Long's situation. "I pinched the towel and let it dry as I pleased.
Gao gradually stepped forward and walked side by side with me.
"I didn't expect that the dragon you were looking for was sold into the palace, if the Emperor of Lu got it, that dragon should not die. It's just that it's harder to rescue. The sound of his sigh was scattered in the wind, but when it reached my ears, it weighed on my heart like an invisible stone.
I squeezed my handkerchief: "yes, I didn't expect it either." ”
The analysis of high gradual detachment is correct, and it can even be said to be very in line with the reality of the moment. The seriously injured Ying Long was sold into the palace by Qi Jiuniang, and the Emperor of Lu State, who was most eager to get the dragon team, would definitely do his best to heal him after he got it, and he would serve him with good water and meat.
It's just that the guards must have never been stricter.
It is indeed more difficult to rescue it than to ascend to the sky, and I stirred my handkerchief and felt that my mind was also stirred up. Ying Long's whereabouts were told by me when I heard Xiangling discussing with the man on the cliff.
The two first mentioned whether it would be someone from the palace who wanted to kill them, and then commented on the good or bad of Qi Jiuniang's sale of the dragon to the palace.
At first, I was still confused, how could the sea caravans shuttling through various countries have anything to do with the Emperor of Lu. After listening carefully, I found that it was Ying Long who made them have a relationship with the Emperor of Lu.
Xiangling is in favor of Qi Jiuniang's sale of the dragon to the Emperor of Lu, in her opinion, Qi Jiuniang is the sky, and everything she does should be supported and obeyed. And the only one who can buy it at a sky-high price is the emperor of Lu State, which is the best deal.
The man didn't think so, he said: "The emperor wants everyone to shut up after getting the dragon." It's not just a matter of agreeing to give the royal caravan the name, but on the surface. How do you know that the emperor secretly does not kill people and kill people? The fact that the head of the house was robbed yesterday is a fact of the facts!"
"You are talking nonsense! The emperor is the lord of the Ninety-Five, and he speaks with all his words, how can he be double-faced? We bear the name of the royal caravan, and if the royal caravan is secretly destroyed, how can the emperor's face be saved? Will he lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot?"
Xiangling was sharp-tongued, and the other party was speechless in three or two sentences. Finally, they turned their suspicions to Yue Yun, and at this moment, Qi Jiuniang arrived.
Gao gradually left me to bandage my wounds, and I told him what I had heard.
"Even if I can't save it for the time being, I have to see it with my own eyes to feel at ease. "The handkerchief in my hand has been twisted into a ball, and I can't twist it anymore," everything is just speculation from the time I know the news to the present. There are some things that you have to confirm in person. ”
Gao Yanli held the long sword in front of him, and Qingsi was raised by the sea breeze: "I will accompany you." It doesn't matter if it's the palace or the prison. ”
"Thank you!" I finally loosened my strength when I stirred the handkerchief, this time I went to the palace not only to answer the news of Long Ping'an, but also to collect the clues they had collected to go to Wolong Valley...... Originally, I wanted to wait for the fox to come back, but now that I have the opportunity, then I'm welcome.
I thought about it, reached out and touched the jade pendant that I carried under my underwear, and pressed it hard.
That night, we braved the rain and rushed back to Qizhi non-stop. Four days passed, and finally arrived at the foot of the imperial city. Find a random inn to wash off the dust, eat a full stomach, and rest all day to explore the situation.
The next day, I took care of myself neatly and prepared to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion of Lu State.
No one introduced him, and he couldn't enter the palace at all.
After listening to my plan, Gao Yanli was a little confused: "If you want to enter the palace to see Ying Long, I will take you in at night, why do you want to walk in 'openly'?"
"Then do you know where Ying Long is being held?" I raised my eyebrows, listening to Xiangling and the man's tone before, Emperor Lu didn't want others to know that he had a dragon in his hand.
If that is the case, then he will do everything he can to hide it. Naturally, he would not randomly put Ying Long's big guy in a conspicuous place in the palace for people to see, how could it be so easy to find it if he sneaked in?
Gao Yanli opened his lips when he heard this: "I don't know." After that, he said hurriedly, "As long as it is in the palace, you will definitely be able to find it." ”
"That's the dragon that the emperor doesn't want others to know, and he must be covered to death. It is not convenient to move in secret, so it is better to come openly. "I knocked on the table and watched the people coming and going under the round window of the inn, as if they were gossiping.
Gao Yanli picked up a wooden spoon and scooped a bowl of soup to his mouth, and said in a voice that only I could hear, "That's too much of a loss." There is only one kingfish in a litter of crossfish, and the kingfish only has one pair of eyes. You even want to sacrifice all of them to the Emperor of Lu in exchange for the opportunity to enter the palace...... It's not worth it. ”
"It's good to act when you go in openly, and I didn't say that I want to use the kingfish's eyes to make evil beads. I laughed.
Gao Yanli moved away from the soup bowl, and his hand was still holding the bowl and froze in the air: "What do you mean?
I smiled mysteriously: "When I was just about to go from Qizhi to Chisong Village, I went to the black market to find someone to make two pairs. Originally, I wanted to take a pair to wear for myself and the fox, and gave this pair of kingfish to Uncle Gaochang and Aunt Li. Another pair for you and enlightenment. Now I'm afraid that I will use a pair other than the kingfish pair to offer treasures. ”
"But it doesn't matter, when we get out of the palace, you can go and steal it back. I blinked at him with my chin propped up, "This kind of thing is much easier than killing, and you are so good at light skills, it should be fine, right?"
After Gao Yanli listened to my words, the whole person was already dumbfounded. He didn't seem to expect me to make such an arrangement, and his righteous eyes were full of surprise.
Seeing him like this, I was even more convinced that this guy had been in Guigu for too long, and he still needed to exercise outside. Otherwise, his future swordsman road will be very worrying!
When Gao gradually reacted, he was so moved. said that he would fight for his life to help me find Ying Long and save Ying Long. Seeing him use the fox's face to show a serious expression of "the grace of a drop of water springs in return", I really don't get used to it.
