Chapter 36: Asking for help
After the guests and hosts sat down, Puyang Boyi smiled lightly and bowed his hands, "Duanmu Lord, Eldest Lady, Yuling Girl, below is Puyang Boyi, the son of the current head of the Puyang family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jing Hong raised her eyebrows - she wore such thick shoes and deliberately covered her face, did this person still recognize her? and even Yu Ling, who had always been mistaken for her maid, did not forget to say hello. It seems that he knows a lot about them.
"The young master of Puyang is polite, it is an honor for us to be able to drink with the young master at the same table. Although Duanmu Ziling was only eleven years old, this kind of high-sounding words were no longer inferior to Puyang Boyi, and Jing Hong and Yu Ling nodded with a smile to show their agreement with Duanmu Ziling's words.
As for why this person recognized the two of them, and gave Yu Ling the same respect as Murong Qinghua, Duanmu Zixuan, and Duanmu Ziling, the three of them didn't ask a word.
Seeing that these three little children were so calm, Puyang Boyi was a little surprised. But fortunately, he didn't come to find fault, the more shrewd the people in the Lord's Mansion, the better it would be for him.
After the wine and food were served, several people chatted about painless topics while eating and drinking, which could be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.
However, the three of them all knew that this kind of superficial communication was just a foreshadowing, and Puyang Boyi had not yet said the real purpose of meeting them.
After about a cup of tea, the three of them put down their chopsticks one after another, and Puyang Boyi talked about the purpose of his appointment with them, "Don't hide a few, this time I came to ask for the assistance of Lord Duanmu." ”
Duanmu Ziling smiled lightly and arched his hand to Puyang Boyi, "Young Master Puyang, please speak." ”
Puyang Boyi put down his chopsticks, and his expression gradually became dignified, "Last month, two of the caravans sent by our Puyang family to Qinzhou disappeared one after another, so my father sent people to investigate, and within a few days, the people who investigated were also missing. However, the day before the disappearance, they sent back news that in several nearby villages, there were also people who had disappeared or died mysteriously, but because the number of people was small and there was no exchange of news between the villages, it did not attract everyone's attention. ”
Duanmu Ziling was clear, "Young Lord Puyang wants the Lord's Mansion to intervene in this matter?"
Puyang Boyi nodded, "The guys of those two caravans are already good, and the search team sent by my father to find them is even stronger than them, and all three of these teams have disappeared inexplicably around there, and I guess that there is something there that mortals can't deal with." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Although there are some children of my Puyang family who have stepped into the immortal path, most of them are currently scattered in various states and capitals, and they really can't rush to help in a short period of time. However, this matter is very important, and if it is delayed for one more day, there will be more variables for one day, and I dare not delay it more, so I have to be cheeky to ask Lord Duanmu. ”
"What did the young master of Puyang say, since there has been an abnormality in my Qinzhou, how can I, as a lord, stand by and watch?" Although Duanmu Ziling is young, he is very responsible as a lord, no, as soon as Puyang Boyi finished speaking, he had already responded in one bite.
Jing Hong reluctantly touched his forehead with his hand - this child, he believes whatever people say, isn't he worried that this is a trap?
Besides, Qinzhou is now pouring rain every day, and it won't be long before the rivers will flood and the people will be displaced.
Puyang Boyi was obviously a little surprised by Duanmu Ziling's simplicity, but of course it was more of a surprise, he smiled lightly and bowed his hand, "Lord Duanmu is dedicated to Li Min, which really makes Boyi admire." ”
"The young master of Puyang is overrated. Since Ziling is in his position, it is Ziling's duty to seek peace and stability for the people under his rule. Speaking of this, Duanmu Ziling lowered his eyes and looked at his still immature little palm, "Although Ziling people are small and weak, they can't save Li Min from fire and water at present, but at least, I want to do everything I can do." ”
Jing Hong smiled with relief - although her little uncle was young, he could always let her see the hidden kingly demeanor in him at every critical moment. That familiar sense of responsibility and responsibility makes her always recall her parents and brothers in her previous life.
A flash of appreciation flashed in Puyang Boyi's eyes, "It will take about half a day from this Mingxiang City to Panlong Ridge, where the three teams of our Puyang family disappeared, I don't know when Lord Duanmu plans to send someone to go with us?"
Duanmu Ziling was about to answer, but a shocking voice suddenly sounded in the sea of knowledge, "I'll go with Yu Ling." ”
Duanmu Ziling looked at his little niece in surprise, but saw that she was staring at him with an unquestioning expression, "The old housekeeper still has to assist grandmother in relocating the disaster victims, Yun Qi must also stay to protect you, Yu Ling and I are the most suitable people." ”
Duanmu Ziling's eyes flashed with shame - it was because of his weakness that his family Jinghong and Yu Ling had to be in danger repeatedly.
Again, he had a strong desire to be strong - he wanted to be strong, he wanted to be their spear and shield as soon as possible, he wanted to stand by their side and fight to protect them!
"Lord Duanmu?" Seeing that he was deep in thought, Puyang Boyi had no choice but to call him.
Duanmu Ziling suddenly came back to his senses, he raised his eyes and looked at Puyang Boyi, "Young Master Puyang, let my family Jinghong and Yu Ling accompany you to Panlong Ridge to find out." ”
Puyang Boyi was stunned for a moment before he said, "Only the eldest lady and Miss Yuling?"
Duanmu Ziling nodded, "As you know, the Lord's Mansion is really running out of manpower right now. But you can rest assured, my family Jinghong and Yu Ling are very strong, and they will never hold you back. ”
Puyang Boyi's face suddenly became strange - Yu Ling is a half-teenage girl, it is not surprising if there are some unknown skills, but the other one is only four years old?! This little lord of Qinzhou actually said that she is also very strong, is he sure that he is not funny?
Jing Hong sighed, "People, it's always easy to be blinded by what you see. ”
Puyang Boyi looked in the direction where the voice came from, but saw that the four-year-old girl was sighing while directing a flying sword to fly back and forth, up and down, left and right.
He first blinked his eyes twice in succession, and then exclaimed uncontrollably, "This...... You...... Miss, you ...... Can you wield a flying sword?"
