Chapter 31: Nakayama Lang Crisis on all sides
"Minister, what are we going to do? The Tiger King is in turmoil, the northeast border is in an emergency, and our main force is still defending Crystal City in the south! The Queen Mother, who was holding the little emperor Tang in her hand, was sitting on the dragon chair and asked anxiously. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Zhongshan Lang, Shangguan Yang'er, and several classes of ministers are lined up on both sides. At this time, it was the time of the early dynasty.
No one responded.
At this time, everyone looked at Nakayama Lang, but Nakayama Lang was still as calm as water. Seeing that everyone was looking at him and wanted to listen to his opinion, Zhongshan Lang knew that if he didn't say it, he would be too ignorant, so he said without hurry: "Queen Mother, Emperor, don't make too hasty decisions in everything, I think the Tiger King's sudden rebellion is just the beginning of a conspiracy!" Don't forget, we haven't investigated the results of the emperor's Dao talisman yet! β
"Report-" A herald carrying five imperial flags rushed into the court, "The Queen Mother, the Emperor!" 100,000 urgent! Peacock City Lord Kong Runsheng's urgent letter! β
The five imperial flags mean that this letter is the highest level of the country and is related to the life and death of the Crystal Empire. This herald is almost dying, but if he doesn't work so hard, once he delays the military situation, this herald can only be beheaded all over the house.
"Someone is coming, help the herald down, and reward two ginseng and fifty taels of silver!" Shangguan Yang'er immediately sent the herald down in accordance with the reward and punishment regulations that had been formulated long ago.
Shangguan Yang'er hurriedly handed over the urgent letter to the Queen Mother. The little emperor Tang Xuan, who was in the arms of the Queen Mother, looked at everything in front of him in horror, and cast a distress-seeking gaze at Shangguan Yang'er. Shangguan Yang'er could only shake his head slightly, respond with an encouraging gaze, and then return to his position.
The Queen Mother kept shaking the letter in her hand. This is a distress emergency sent by the Peacock King in a hurry.
"The area around Peacock Villas was suddenly attacked by unknown forces, among which many unknown, devil-like things killed people in invisible whirlwinds and dead people who could not be killed! ββNow I can only suspect that it was a surprise attack by Yulan Kingdom...... Peacock City is in danger, we are blocking it in the area of Snake Mountain, and we urgently need reinforcements! The Queen Mother saw it tremblingly. After reading it, he ordered Shangguan Yang'er to read it out again.
"Hehe, I'm right, the Tiger King alone would never dare to start a rebellion, it seems that there was a premeditated plan between them! The Whirlwind of Murder is the Wind Demon of the Elemental Demons, and the dead who can't be killed are undoubtedly zombies! Nakayama Lang triumphed, "Everything is under my control!" Queen Mother, I don't know what the harvest of silk is? β
Seeing that Zhongshan Lang was full of confidence, the Queen Mother Zhou Lan's mood was a little settled.
"The first batch of silk has been harvested, Gongsun Yi, you are in charge of silk collection, how is it?" Zhou Lan asked.
A minister in his fifties, standing behind Shangguan Yang'er, with triangular eyes, brocade and satin, and a slightly fat body, stood up and said tremblingly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the first batch of silk has a total of 3,000 baskets, and all of them have been put into storage!" β
"That energy crystal must also be collected, and it will be used against the elemental wind demon!" Nakayama added.
"This is easy to do, there is no shortage of crystals in the crystal country!" Zhou Lan said proudly.
Shangguan Yang'er finally understood why Zhongshan Lang insisted on coming to the Crystal Country to serve, because Zhongshan Lang had already estimated that the Elemental Demon Summoner would come in, but he didn't expect to send the Elemental Wind Demon to directly participate in the battle.
Shangguan Yang'er thought worriedly, "The Elemental Demon Summoner didn't participate in the last magic battle, but why is he so active this time?" There is no news of the news sent by the rat head to the vicinity of Ten Thousand Cave Mountain, and there is no news of the living coffins that Rabbit Fang returned to Ice Wolf Mountain to continue monitoring, will there be any connection with the Elemental Wind Demon? β
At this time, Zhongshan Lang gave the Empress Dowager Zhou Lan a look, and Zhou Lan immediately understood. So she ordered: "Rank Aiqing, let's stop here this morning, I hope you Aiqing can be loyal to your duties and get through the difficulties together!" Gongsun Yi, you stay! β
After a while, only Zhongshan Lang, Shangguan Yang'er, the Empress Dowager Zhou Lan, the little emperor Tang Hua and the minister in charge Gongsun Yi were left in the court.
"Gongsun Yi, since the five ministers were demoted for their misdeeds, you are the only important minister of the two dynasties!"
Zhou Lan put Tang Pao out of his arms, and Tang Pao immediately ran to Shangguan Yang'er's side and snuggled up behind Shangguan Yang'er. Zhou Lan straightened her waist and wore a phoenix suit, like a king in the world.
"The Queen Mother is wise and decisive, and she promptly dealt with the conspiracy that caused disaster to the court, which can be said to be very happy in the world! The people of the world all applauded! After saying this, Gongsun Yi was already sweating profusely. He really couldn't guess what the queen mother left him for, and he was uneasy.
Zhou Lan smiled slightly, feeling that the words of compliment still sounded very comfortable, so she decided not to sell Guanzi anymore, embarrassed this loyal old minister, and asked directly: "I heard that Aiqing has two twin daughters who are like flowers and jade, if you remember correctly, one is called Gongsun Tian and the other is called Gongsun Mi, right?" β
Hearing this, Gongsun Yi unconsciously chuckled in her heart, "The Queen Mother won't let my two daughters go to kiss, right?" Thinking of this, his heart jumped directly to his throat, and even the blue heart was hitting his heart.
"Hehe, I heard that the lion king also has two sons who are like leopards and tigers, and they are not married!"
When Gongsun Yi heard this, it could be described as ecstasy, as an important minister of the two dynasties, Gongsun Yi certainly knew the status of the Lion King in the Crystal Empire. What's more, the two sons of the Lion King are both famous young talents in the empire, how many princesses and princesses of the royal family are staring at! With the queen mother's media, you can definitely get nine out of ten.
"Oh, thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother!" Gongsun Yi said happily.
"Okay, Gongsun Yi, you go and get ready to propose! All dowries are in charge of Hongu! β
Gongsun Yi left the court like a spring breeze and reported the good news to his family.
"The Queen Mother is really a chess player! In this way, the lion king had to show his loyalty, and if he was really loyal to the court, he would have to agree to this family business; If he has an antipathy towards the imperial court, of course he will find a way to refuse! Nakayama Lang praised.
"Hey, there is no way in this palace, the Lion King is not only the teacher of the Tiger King and the Peacock King, but also the pillar of our court, in case even he rebels, our mother and ......" Pan Yu choked up.
"Report-" Another herald who thought that the five imperial flags were planted rushed over, and Zhou Lan's heart rose again.
"Yang'er, don't read it! Just talk about the main points in general......" Zhou Lan almost slumped on the dragon chair.
Shangguan Yang'er took the military newspaper, quickly skimmed it, and was overjoyed, "Queen Mother, it's good news!" β
"What? Good news! The Queen Mother asked in surprise. Even Nakayama Lang was amazed, and he couldn't help but feel the joy of this surprise.
"It turned out to be someone from Xijia Village! They appeared out of nowhere! The attack from Yulan has been contained! β
Hearing this, the Black Devil Wolf King Zhongshan Lang couldn't help frowning, and thought in amazement: "How could the people from Xijia Village suddenly appear, didn't they go to help the Lion King?" But he didn't speak. Not many people know about the fact that Xijia Village has a temporary shelter in Snake Mountain. So he hurriedly asked, "How could the people of Xijia Village appear near Snake Mountain?" Didn't they go to the lion king's territory? β
"It's not clear, it's not stated in the military newspaper." Shangguan Yang'er shook his head and said. After saying this, Shangguan Yang'er Jun reported it to the Empress Dowager Zhou Lan.
The Queen Mother Zhou Lan looked at the military newspaper and almost cried with joy!
"It's still the lion king's foresight and wisdom that he has built this Xijia village that can deal with demons and monsters! Needless to say, this family affair should be handled as soon as possible! β
Stabilizing the Lion King as soon as possible has become the most important thing for the imperial court at present, because the current difficulties of the imperial court can only be solved by the Lion King and Xijia Village. This point, the Queen Mother Zhou Lan knows very well in her heart. Although it is still possible to reuse the Zhongshan Lang, Shangguan Yang'er, and the two summoners in front of him, after all, the number is too small; And there are more than 1,000 villagers in Xijia Village, in addition to their families, there are more than 100 real exorcism masters, many of them come from far away places on the Pandora Continent, and have more bizarre spells than the Crystal Empire. Such a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Xijia Village is something that the imperial court must strive for, especially in such a chaotic year.
"It looks like Xijia Village is still on our side!" Queen Mother Zhou Lan said with relief.
"What about Crystal City? Shouldn't we compromise, after all, there is a lot of danger right now! Shangguan Yang'er reminded.
Zhongshan Wolf looked at Shangguan Yang'er warmly, and then said: "Yang'er is right, Queen Mother, we should immediately reconcile with Bai Dongyu, the Lord of Crystal City, after all, Crystal City has already made a defense, and we can't do anything about him for a while!" β
"So what do you think we should do?" The Queen Mother asked.
"Are we going to release Baek Dong-woo's family first! A few nights ago, several killers appeared near the place where Bai Dongyu's family was imprisoned, and according to the soldiers guarding at the time, it was a high-strength mage who appeared to stop these killers! Shangguan Yang'er said. Shangguan Yang'er was talking about Pan Yu stopping the eight warriors of Yinluo Kingdom.
"It seems that someone wants to kill Bai Dongyu's family and then blame us!" Empress Dowager Zhou Lan deduced, "But who will it be?" β
"Yang'er is right, no matter who it is, we should escort Bai Dongyu's family back as soon as possible, and now we should stabilize Crystal City as soon as possible! Of course, who sent the killer and who stopped them should be found out as soon as possible! Speaking of this, Zhongshan Lang asked Zhou Lan, "Queen Mother, I see the matter of escorting the family, so I'll do it myself!" β
"That's great! But what about the Tiger King? Zhou Lan asked worriedly.
"As for the Tiger King, Queen Mother, you just need to strengthen the defenses around the capital. The Tiger King's forces were limited, and he was forced to attack from afar, so he ordered the people and local troops in the places where the Tiger King passed to resist and evacuate, remembering not to leave a single grain behind. When the Tiger King traveled thousands of miles and arrived in the capital, it was also the end of the crossbow. During this time, I will stabilize Crystal City as soon as possible and bring back the army of the Northern Battalion! β
"However, will the Tiger King have the guidance of a master, judging from the military reports sent, it seems that he doesn't want the Tiger King's usual style, his army doesn't seem to need to eat at all, and now it has penetrated more than a thousand miles into the Crystal Country, and has not been able to receive battle reports along the way, as if even those heralds have disappeared out of thin air!" The Queen Mother said that he still knows a lot about the Lion King, a former subordinate - the Tiger King, and the Tiger King is very steady, and will not rebel rashly, let alone let his troops go so deep into the enemy territory casually.
"So, I'll stay by your side!"
Pan Yu was waiting for this sentence, although as the actual ruler of this country, she should have been stable, but she still couldn't hide her joy.
"Great! With Shangguan Yang'er by my side, I always have a little confidence in my heart! β
But Shangguan Yang'er, when he heard that he wanted to stay in the palace and couldn't follow Zhongshan Lang, he couldn't help but feel depressed. Empress Dowager Zhou Lan saw Shangguan Yang'er's reluctance at a glance, so she walked up to Yang'er and comforted softly: "The emperor is still young, and I am entangled in state affairs, he can't do without your care!" and Princess Tang Ling, who has just finished taking the pill, can't do without you! β
"Yang'er, don't worry, I'll be back soon! Don't forget, there may be enemies lurking in the palace, and we haven't checked the spell on the emperor's body yet! Zhongshan Lang also comforted softly, explaining the necessity of Yang'er to stay.
"Teacher, you'd better stay!" It turned out to be Tang Zhuo's voice, and the little emperor Tang Zhuo also came to Shangguan Yang'er's side, and took her hand and asked.
Shangguan Yang'er nodded, and said to Zhongshan Lang affectionately: "Your mana has not been fully restored, and your memory has not been fully recovered, be careful on the road!" β
Nakayama Lang's memories were lost before he came to this human world. He himself forgets that his memories are selectively erased by himself. His former favorite, Duoxiu of the Elven City, is also a blank in his memory!
The morning dynasty ended, and they dispersed. Zhongshan Lang sent Shangguan Yang'er back to his residence. Along the way, Guan Yang'er didn't speak, and Zhongshan Lang couldn't find anything to say for a while. The sky began to rain lightly, and the two had to take shelter from the eaves of a private house.
The winter rain was particularly cold, and Zhongshan Lang draped his cloak over Shangguan Yang'er's body and looked around.
Soon he noticed a centuries-old locust tree not far away, and its branches were covered with red silk cloth. At the very top of the old locust tree, Nakayama suddenly found a bunch of ribbons. That was the Tianshan snow silk that Pan Yu once used, which was blown onto the old locust tree by the wind.
"Yang'er, look at the treetops of that locust tree!" Nakayama reminded.
The bundle of snow silk from the Tianshan Mountains fluttered in the wind, as if they were afraid that they would not attract their attention.
Nakayama flew to the treetops and retrieved the silk. The two of them looked at the bundle of silk that looked like an air-dried loofahβthe lines formed by the transmission of powerful mana through silkβand were amazed.
"The plan has to change, I can't go to Crystal City anymore, we must find the owner of this bundle of silk together!" Nakayama Lang muttered.
"The person who can use silk to such an extent should not be a human being, it is likely to be a high-level elf, or even the highest level of existence among the elves! This person allows you to fully regain your mana and memory! Shangguan Yang'er guessed.
"Who could this person be?" Nakayama asked.
"Could it be the mage who stopped those killers who wanted to get rid of the family of Crystal City Lord Bai Dongyu?"
"Quite possibly! Yang'er, do you have any further information? β
"Later, I went to the capital outpost to check, and in those days a warship left the capital and went north in the direction of Lengyang City, and according to several sentinels, they saw with their own eyes that the ship had approached the capital pier, and that night, there was a fight near this locust tree. Those sentries thought it was a fight between gangsters, so they didn't pay much attention to it! β
Hearing this, Zhongshan Lang couldn't help but admire Shangguan Yang'er's carefulness.
"It seems that I have to go to Cold Sun City first!"
"What about Crystal City?" Shangguan Yang'er said as she gently stroked the bunch of Tianshan snow silk that was silky and silky because it was wet by the rain.
Zhongshan Lang stretched out his right hand into the rain, picked up a few raindrops, thought for a while, and said: "Let Rabbit Tooth terminate the plan to monitor Ice Wolf Mountain, and then let Rabbit Tooth go to Crystal City with my National Teacher Token, and I will personally go to Cold Yang City and have a round with the rat head!" β
Both Zhongshan Lang and Shangguan Yang'er knew in their hearts that it would be best if such a powerful mage was a friend, so that Zhongshan Lang's mana would have hope of recovery; But if it is an enemy, you must strike first and get rid of him (her), otherwise there will be endless troubles!
