Chapter 49: Revelation from the Ghost
After Yu Yu left, someone knocked on the door outside Jiuli's room in the evening, Jiuli prepared a chair in front of the door early, at this moment she sat on the chair with her chest crossed, her face was frosty and there was no temperature, her eyes stared at the door fiercely, and her lips were half-patronized: "Please come in." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The door opened and floated in, a white-clothed, ethereal, hippie smiling stunner, who was not the dead fox of the green hills.
"You may be seated," said Jiu Li, "I want to ask you a few questions." ”
Mu Ke sat down, saw that Jiu Li's face was not good, restrained his laughter, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Jiuli said: "Zhou Rao's battle for succession is the center of one party's power? ”
Mu Ke's face was complicated, "You know everything?" ”
"As the princess of the Beidi Kingdom, once Yinghua marries the Qi Kingdom, it will increase the powerful power of the Beidi Kingdom to the Qi Kingdom, which will help the Qi Qi seize the throne, right?"
"Jiu Li, listen to me..."
Jiu Li didn't listen to him, but interrupted him: "I just want to know what benefits Yan Qi has given you?" ”
Mu Jing was silent for a moment, and said bluntly: "The shops in Qingqiu can monopolize Zhou Rao and the surrounding neighbors attached to Zhou Rao from now on, and Zhou Rao's foreign trade is mainly based on the goods of Qingqiu Mountain. I provide him with financial resources, and he can give me a broad market. ”
Jiuli understood that since the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was demoted to Qingqiu by the God of Creation and ordered that they should never set foot in the Heavenly Palace, the patriarch of Qingqiu Mountain began to look for a way of development in the mortal world, and established a capital chain centered on Qingqiu Mountain in just a few years. Qingqiu has a wide range of business routes, involving almost all commercial fields, and the exported goods are all over the wilderness countries. This also makes the shopkeeper of Qingqiu a highly valuable businessman, and there is even a saying that those who win Qingqiu win the world are circulated in various countries. However, in order to cooperate with Qingqiu, it is necessary to accept Qingqiu's extremely harsh conditions, which is why countries are afraid of Qingqiu.
Unexpectedly, Qi Qi cooperated with Mu Ke at any cost, the relationship between Qi Qi and Mu Ke seems to be mutually beneficial, Mu Ke will indeed provide financial support for Qi to win the heir, but once Qi Qi ascends the throne, then Qingqiu's trade routes will monopolize Zhou Raoguo, which also means that Zhou Raoguo's economic power will be in Qingqiu's hands from now on. If Zhou Raoguo could not grasp the economic power, then he would also be in a passive position militarily. This is simply equivalent to giving up half of the territory of Zhou Rao Kingdom to Qingqiu Mountain.
Jiuli sneered: "It's such a tempting condition, no wonder you are so calculating Yinghua." As Yinghua's best friend, you do not hesitate to sacrifice Yinghua's happiness for the sake of profit. Mu Ke, after so long, I thought I knew you better, but I didn't expect you to be even more unfathomable and shameless than I thought. ”
Xu felt the anger of his master, and Xiaohong, who had been quietly staying on the side, and was eyeing Mu Ke, also stood up and roared at Mu Ke. At the same time, the woman who was standing outside the door eavesdropping walked away with a pleasant smile.
Mu Ke grabbed Jiu Li's sleeve, "Jiu Li, it's not what you think, I'm also doing this for Yinghua's good." ”
"This is for you, thanks to your care these days, although I want to pay you back, but I don't have any money now, I'll bet this on you first, and when I have money, I will definitely pay you back double!" Jiuli said as he took off a jade bracelet on his hand and threw it to Mu Ke, which he bought when he went to the lantern festival with Yinghua during the Qiqiao Festival, "Xiaohong, let's go." ”
Xiaohong snorted, turned her head and glared at Mu Ke before going out with Jiu Li.
Mu Ke was stunned and watched the back of Jiuli leaving.
But if I don't, I'm afraid you'll hate me even more in the future.
Jiu Li was really angry, she walked aimlessly on the street, her mind was confused, could it be that something major happened in Beidi Kingdom after she left? Otherwise, how could Yinghua agree to marry Yu Qi, the woman who had been waiting for Changqin infatuatedly, Jiu Li really couldn't believe that she would empathize with others like this.
She walked up to a small merchant selling masks, picked up a fox mask, and recalled that she was wearing a fox mask and was seduced by Mu Ke's charm in Yanshan Town, but in the end, Mu Ke was knocked to the ground by her five-colored stone. At that time, Mu Ke was still a little fox demon who sucked other people's true qi everywhere in order to survive, but he would not harm people. I don't know when the fox demon has become a well-known nine-tailed fox, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
It's really impermanent.
Jiu Li put down her mask and decided to go back to Beidi Kingdom, she wanted to give Yinghua an explanation that she couldn't wait for, and she also had to personally determine Yinghua's intentions.
At this moment, a luxurious carriage slowly drove from a distance, Jiu Li stayed in place and stared wide-eyed, the familiar exterior decoration, the person driving the carriage.
Cloudside.
Jiuli subconsciously wanted to jump and escape, but was bitten by Xiaohong under his feet, Jiuli angrily picked up Xiaohong, who was lying on the ground and pretended not to move, but at this time, the carriage had already driven in front of her as if it was teleporting.
The people on the street were still walking as usual, even the vendors selling masks were concentrating on selecting masks for others, no one noticed the teleporting carriage, only the air around Jiuli froze.
Half-paid, a familiar voice came from the carriage:
"Get in the car."
Jiu Li clearly saw Yun Pan's gloating expression, as if he was always forced by such an aura pressure, Jiu Li reluctantly walked towards the carriage, and his mind quickly came up with hundreds of reasons.
There is no change in the days and nights, but the original deep eyes are a little more gloomy. However, Xuechen saw her worried and asked, and Jiuli roughly talked about the experience of most of the month, including being rescued by Xiaohong in the dark forest of hell. However, the blame for coming to Zhou Raoguo was put on Xiaohong.
Xiaohong usually looks arrogant and unruly in front of others, but when she got into the carriage at this time, she timidly hid behind Jiuli and peeked at the other two.
Jiuli pushed Xiaohong in front of the two: "This is Xiaohong." Xiaohong is more shy to see people on weekdays, so don't see outside. ”
Xuechen looked at Xiaohong and was shocked: "I've never seen this kind of spirit beast, it came out of the dark forest?" ”
Jiu Li was afraid that Xuechen would be prejudiced against Xiaohong, so he hurriedly said: "Although it comes from the dark forest, it is different from other beasts in the forest, it will not hurt people for no reason, and it is also loyal to me. ”
Xuechen pondered, "Well, but the animals in the Dark Forest are all transformed from the sins of mortals, and I observe that Xiaohong has a substance. ”
Jiuli and Xuechen didn't see Xiaohong quietly walking away from them while they were talking, it walked up to Ye Shu, looked at Ye Shu for a moment, and jumped onto Ye Shu's lap. Finding that Ye Shu was not displeased, Xiaohong found a comfortable position on Ye Shu's lap and lay down.
After Jiuli and Xuechen came back to their senses, they found that Xiaohong was looking at them calmly on the night sparse lap, Jiuli had never thanked Xiaohong so much, and felt that it was the most empathetic pet in the world who knew how to resolve the owner's crisis. Because at this moment, Ye Shu's face was soft, and he was lowering his head and gently stroking Xiaohong's hair.
At dinner in the evening, Ye Shu really didn't ask her to hide in Zhou Raoguo's trouble, in fact, maybe more important things were occupying all their thoughts.
Yinghua is going to Zhou Raoguo to make peace in the next few days, and the matter is a foregone conclusion. Because Xuechen said that when they and Changqin rushed to inquire and stop Yinghua, they found that Yinghua didn't know them, and even looked at strangers when they saw Changqin.
"Why is this happening? Could someone have cast a spell on her to make her temporarily amnesiac? Jiuli asked.
Ye Shu shook her head, "I checked that there was no trace of spells on her body, Yinghua remembered all her relatives, but not us. In other words, Yinghua only doesn't remember all the people and things related to Changqin. ”
After eating, Jiuli stayed alone in the room, with many questions in his mind. What happened to Yinghua, and why don't you remember them? The only person in the Beidi Kingdom who has a blood curse related to the Heavenly Palace is Changqin, as well as the reincarnated Qingdai and Yinghua, is it really the blood curse that is about to be urged?
With countless questions, Jiuli suddenly saw that the candlelight in front of him gradually became faint and blurred, and suddenly, the faint candlelight began to strengthen, and continued to lengthen, and finally the candlelight actually formed the shape of a tree. Gradually, the candlelight of a tree turned into countless tree candles, and the candlelight of countless trees gradually lengthened, and finally turned into a forest of shining candlelight.
What the forest looks like...
Forest of sin!
Jiu Li was frightened, wanted to stand up but was weak, wanted to shout loudly but couldn't make a sound. Then a ghostly voice was heard from the candlelit forest:
"To enter Heaven, you have to go through hell.
The answer can only be found in hell,
Go for it and you will find.
Because you're in the center of the maelstrom,
You are not allowed to be too weak. ”
