Chapter 40: Mission Failure? [1st Update]
A fire that burned people's emotions fluctuated. Lin Yinan lowered his head and looked at the man in black who died beside him, and he couldn't see any expression on his face.
Chu Ziqian and Qingyan came to Lin Yinan with embarrassed faces, and said softly: "The subordinates are incompetent, they failed to catch the assassin, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”
Lin Yinan looked at the blood stains on Chu Ziqian's body, slowly spoke, and asked, "Injured?" ”
Chu Ziqian nodded reluctantly, the poison came and went quickly, and his body was paralyzed for a while, and he didn't react at all.
Lin Yinan turned to leave, leaving Chu Ziqian and Qingyan standing there looking at each other.
"When will the emperor go back?" Qingyan asked Chu Ziqian in a low voice.
"I don't know when he came, how can I know when he will go back." Chu Ziqian frowned tightly, it is not possible to get here from the capital in a day or two, what is the reason why the emperor suddenly came? And who can be the one in the palace who replaces him?
The questions in his head made Chu Ziqian want to sigh, and the fact that he was put down by a woman made him feel even more depressed in his heart.
"That's right." Qingyan was originally following Lin Yinan's footsteps and walking forward, but he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Chu Ziqian, and said, "When I came out, Su Gong took the bus on his behalf, and brought back interesting news, and he rewarded him." ”
"What do you mean?" Chu Ziqian asked through gritted teeth.
The "Father-in-law Su" in Qingyan's mouth can only be one person, and that is Su Shi. Su Shi has stayed in the palace to accompany Lin Yinan all the year round in the past two years, because he can be close to Lin Yinan's martial arts, and only Su Shi can contain him. Over time, Su Shi, who couldn't get out of the palace, was jokingly called "father-in-law" by Chu Ziqian, but he didn't expect that this name would gradually spread by everyone, so there was one more Liang Zi between the two.
"It means that if I tell him about the wounding of a woman, I will have the money." Qingyan smiled and explained very clearly.
Qingyan is a very greedy person, and Chu Ziqian couldn't be clearer about this. After a short silence, Chu Ziqian's suppressed voice sounded again, "How much did he promise to give you!" ”
Qingyan raised his hand and stretched out a few fingers, Chu Ziqian said coldly: "I'll give you twice as much, how about it?" ”
"I just like the refreshment of Master Chu." Qingyan immediately ended the topic with a smile on her face, and the two walked back in the direction where Lin Yinan disappeared.
Lu Zhiyao and the others set foot on the land of the Qing Netherworld again, and she and Xuanyuan Junfan glanced at each other after getting out of the car, but they didn't say anything until they returned to the palace.
"You know that he was there, so that's why you let me go?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a sneer.
"Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with us." Xuanyuan Junfan replied in a low voice.
Mo Xiaoying looked at the two of them suspiciously, not knowing what was going on. Since escaping from Yongcheng last night, she felt weird, but he didn't say anything when asked Xuanyuan Junfan, and Lu Zhiyao was alone in the other carriage, so she couldn't ask.
"What's going on?" She walked up to Lu Zhiyao's side and asked softly.
Lu Zhiyao shook his head and walked towards Xuanyuan Haotian's palace, Bai Lichen and Yun Fei led the carriage and walked behind. Before he could get to the place, he had already seen Xuanyuan Haotian.
Xuanyuan Haotian looked at the carriage behind him and asked, "You guys came back from there by this?" ”
"Yes." Xuanyuan Junfan replied, "The task has been completed, it's just ...... Something went wrong. ”
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Haotian's gaze fell on Lu Zhiyao's body, "It just so happens that I have also got some news here and want to find you." ”
Xuanyuan Haotian's tone was gloomy, which made Lu Zhiyao feel that there was nothing good when he heard it. followed Xuanyuan Junfan and left with Xuanyuan Haotian, and Mo Xiaoying went back to his bedroom first.
When he arrived at the study, Xuanyuan Haotian listened to Xuanyuan Junfan finish talking about what happened in Xia Laiguo, including Lin Yinan's appearance. He never said anything, just smiled meaningfully, his eyes kept looking at Lu Zhiyao, and Lu Zhiyao was uncomfortable.
"Do you know what it was last night?" Finally, Xuanyuan Haotian opened his mouth, and he went directly to the distance of landing. "I have received word that the kingdom of Charais has moved all the food away on the day you arrived. After spending so much effort, it seems that it just made Lin Yinan watch the play. How are you going to take on this responsibility? ”
Lu Zhiyao's eyes flickered, he didn't expect things to develop like this.
"What does the emperor think the slave should bear?" Lu Zhiyao stood there straight, his eyes meeting him without dodging. "The emperor only gave me three days, do you still expect me to help you fight Xia Laiguo? My task was to burn down the granary, not to investigate whether it was grain. The emperor can punish him as much as he wants, and Qi Yao admits punishment. ”
Xuanyuan Haotian was displeased, and Lu Zhiyao's mood was not much better.
Xuanyuan Junfan stood aside and frowned, who dared to speak to the emperor in such an impulsive tone? It seems that in the past few years, Lu Zhiyao has grown not only in martial arts, but also in temper. He sighed secretly and said, "Your Majesty, the conditions over there in Yongcheng really do not allow us to do more investigations, and the ministers will take up this matter, find out new grain storage land, and destroy it." ”
"Does the Guardian still have anything to do with you?" Xuanyuan Haotian glanced at Xuanyuan Junfan, and then looked back at Lu Zhiyao. "You say, how much time do I need to give you to do this?"
"If the emperor decides, the slave will do his best."
Lu Zhiyao responded coldly, and after coming out of that room, she immediately tore off the human skin mask on her face, took a deep breath, took off the mask belt around her waist, and prepared to return to the position.
Xuanyuan Junfan pulled Lu Zhiyao's arm, causing her to stop and turn to look at him.
"The emperor, always the emperor."
"Thank you for reminding you, Qi Yao will do his duty as a slave."
"If you talk to the emperor like that again, sooner or later there will be a day when you regret it." Xuanyuan Junfan persuaded helplessly: "Far away, four years have passed, haven't you accepted the reality yet?" ”
Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and shook off his hand. "Lord Wang, the reality, I accepted it as early as four years ago. Please rest assured, I will complete the task as soon as possible. ”
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he strode away without looking back, and by the way, he also took away the things that Xuanyuan Junfan bought out of his pocket.
Xuanyuan Junfan looked at her back and sighed helplessly, went back again, and studied the intentions of Xia Laiguo with Xuanyuan Haotian.
When Lu Zhiyao went back, Shen Xing and Yun Fei were already waiting for her, and when they saw her put on that weird mask again, they were both stunned.
Maybe it's because of Xuanyuan's leisurely relationship, Lu Zhiyao resists the human skin mask from the bottom of his heart, and always feels that once he wears it in this life, he may show people with that face, but he can't let people see her true face, so he can only be a foreign object in the eyes of others.
"Go training." Lu Zhiyao said coldly when he passed by the two of them, pulled the two carts of things to the practice ground and threw them there, Lu Zhiyao jumped up, sat firmly on the rockery, half lying down and half leaning there looking at the people below.
It turns out that they have really been separated for so long...... Lu Zhiyao slowly closed his eyes, remembering how he looked when he saw Lin Yinan in Yongcheng. No matter how much you listen to, it's better to see it in person, and it seems that he is really fine.
"Who do you think you will face in the future? This kind of strength, is it going to be sent to death?! ”
Lu Zhiyao pondered for a moment and returned to reality, his eyes scanned the people on the field, and in an instant, she disappeared, and the next second she appeared behind someone, just one kick, and that person knelt on the ground unbearably.
"Two hours on the pile, and you are not allowed to come down until the time." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and looked at the man, and ordered in a cold voice.
On the first day of formal training, Lu Zhiyao let everyone see her cold-blooded ruthlessness. But she doesn't care, she's also here, sometimes it's always good for them to be bitter in the future, and it's the most important thing for them to be able to survive.
The two carriages were parked there, and after dark, Lu Zhiyao ordered someone to lead the horses to the stables, but the two carts of good things were still left there motionless, making people wonder what they were inside.
In the dead of night, Lu Zhiyao was still the same as before, taking a bath after exercising, and then went to bed to get ready to rest. This position is built on the mountain, who chose the address, Lu Zhiyao felt that it was very likely to be Liao Wuxian, the mountains near here were all his territory, and no one could enter without his permission.
War, thinking of these two words, Lu Zhiyao's mood is very depressed. War has never been the best reason to make a country stronger, there have been constant wars between the two countries in recent years, but it seems that there has been no major war, Lin Yinan personally came forward, is it true?
Lu Zhiyao didn't doubt that Lin Yinan would have his own reason for appearing there that day. This mission was personally ordered by Xuanyuan Haotian, and outsiders didn't know about it, and even Lu Zhiyao only learned about it that day, how could Lin Yinan, who was far away in Xia Lai, get the news in advance? Grain transfer is very much like his style.
At the border of Xia Laiguo, Lin Mubai and Zi Ningshuang looked at Lin Yinan, who came in person, and sighed with emotion.
Is this day finally coming......?
They remembered what Lin Yinan said a few years ago when he decided to attack the Qingying Kingdom, and many ministers opposed this decision, because if you fight, you must hurt the people and lose your money. Some people knelt in front of the door of the imperial study every day and begged Lin Yinan to think twice, but Lin Yinan only said one word.
He said that this battle was not something he wanted to fight, but that he had to fight.
The Qing Netherworld has continuously sent spies into his country, preparing for an attack on his country, and there are often riots all over the country, and if you check carefully, the reasons are all the hands and feet of the people on the side of the Qing Netherworld. If war must happen, why should he be the one who is being beaten?
Lin Mubai and Zi Ningshuang both understood Lin Yinan's mood, they had long known the ambitions of the Qing Netherworld, if they were not beaten by the Xia Lai Kingdom and could no longer attack, then the Qing Netherworld would never give up the idea of swallowing the fat of the Xia Lai Kingdom. It's just that Lin Yinan's movements were a little fast, and the speed caught the side off guard.
