Chapter 124: Before leaving
The trip to Shahai City in Qiaozhou was finally Xiao Luo and Xue Yun together.
However, they set off two days late, so that Xiao Luo wasted a lot of effort to improve the mountain protection battle in the Ming Province Valley again.
This time, Xiao Luo was very confident, even if the distraction stage elder of Xuanqing Gate came in person, he would definitely not be able to break through the mountain protection array in the Ming Province Valley of Miaozhou.
What's more, now that the various forces in Qingzhou are eyeing each other, the status of the Xuanqing Sect, which has lost most of the core disciples and elders, is in jeopardy, and the Taishang Elder who hurriedly left the customs wants to stay in Qingzhou Town, and he can't leave easily.
Miaozhou is located in the south of the mainland of Kyushu, and Qiaozhou is the northernmost state capital of Kyushu. Either enter Qingzhou, and then take the westernmost Mianzhou or the middle of Zhongzhou to the north into Qiaozhou, or directly from Miaozhou north through Yuanzhou and then enter Qiaozhou, or, from Miaozhou to the east into Qiaozhou, and from Nanzhou through Cangzhou to the north into Qiaozhou.
Among these routes, here in Cheongju, they have formed a mortal enmity with Xuanqingmen, and it is not easy to set foot on it. Another way, Yuanzhou, from the vicinity of Yuanzhou Dingyuan City, fled all the way to Miaozhou to establish the Ming Province Valley, they know best, although Yuanzhou is not occupied by forces, in fact, it is very likely that the Feng family is behind it.
In this way, there is only one way left to go north through Cangzhou to Qiaozhou through Nanzhou.
It just so happens that within Qiaozhou, the Demon Temple is westerly, and Shahai City is located easterly, entering from Cangzhou on the east coast, which is closer to Shahai City.
It's just that...... You may have to be careful of some of the Flowing Light Grass Mountains and Su Zhen near the border of Cangzhou and Qiaozhou, and I don't know if there are any Feng family members nearby who have stayed there and have not retreated. And in Naiazhou, the people who chased and searched Tian Buku's Feng family before didn't know if they had seen the fight against her and the aconitum phoenix, and whether the illusion made by Tian Buku had all retreated.
Since he was going to pass through Cangzhou, where the Li family was located, Xue Yu specially went to find Li Yanran before leaving.
Unlike the special situation of Li Yanning's "dead", Li Yanran left Cangzhou in the name of training, and she can actually go back at any time. At the beginning, Li Yanran left angrily because no one in the Li family was cold for Li Yanning, and she really didn't think about going back at first, but now the situation is different after all......
At least Li Yanran already knows that the Li family is not that no one cares about Li Yanning's life or death, at least the "indifferent" second uncle Li Qingzhou, who she once hated so much, rescued Li Yanning from the Feng family in Zhongzhou when no one knew.
But......
Faced with Xue Yuan's question about whether she should follow them back to Cangzhou to have a look, Li Yanran was silent for a long time, but still shook her head.
"I've thought about it, even if I want to go back to Cangzhou to see, go to ...... Thanking and apologizing to the second uncle is not the current stall. Li Yanran rarely showed a little heavy face: "Even if you don't, everyone knows it in their hearts, and now our Ming Province Valley is not stormy for the time being, but it is really in danger." You and Xiao Luo are going to Shahai City in Qiaozhou to find new clues to break the game, and we all know the urgency, but no matter how stable the mountain protection array is, no matter how stable the mountain protection array is, the demon clan is there...... We don't know if we're really friends. ”
"Yanran ......"
Li Yanran exhaled, patted the red long whip hanging on her waist with one hand, and smiled very heartily: "I have really been in Ming Province Valley for so long, in addition to learning from my classmates, because of the sensitive issue of my background, I have not been able to go out and really fight, listening to you fighting here and there so excitingly, it can hurt me." I have figured it out, this season is the best for me, no matter what, Li Jiaming has stood in Ming Shenggu, and I, a person from the Li family, can be explained by appearing here in Mingshenggu at this time, and when the time comes, I will use the identity of Mingshenggu to help Mingshenggu go out to fight and beat people, isn't it logical?"
As if responding to Li Yanran's words, the red long whip on her waist flashed with red aura, and she looked eager to try.
Seeing this, Xue Yun couldn't help laughing: "That's okay, everyone in the valley is afraid of your 'competition', if they know that you are going to change opponents, they will definitely line up to applaud." ”
Li Yanran rolled her eyes: "Blind! At least I know that Ling Xia and Lu Yan will definitely not be afraid to talk to me." ”
After Ling Xia came to the Ming Province Valley, her cultivation recovered quickly, and she quickly broke through the Jindan with the help of the marrow washing pool. Even, if you take out the ruthlessness of life and death to compete, Li Yanran is very likely not to be Ling Xia's opponent.
And another person mentioned by Li Yanran......
Xue Yun quipped amusedly: "Ling Xia, Lu Yan...... That's the one you're most afraid of, right?"
Li Yanran frowned: "Hmph, even if he is afraid, he has to hold it for me!"
Xue Yun covered his mouth and chuckled, not doing anything for Lu Yan.
Who made him covet someone's precious sister?
"Oh, yes. Now it's Ling Xia. Li Yanran remembered something and asked: "You are going to enter Cangzhou from Naozhou this time, Naught Zhou...... Do you want to take Ling Xia back to have a look? Isn't she still a friend there?"
There is also a third-generation disciple of the Ming Province Valley named Fang Ye in Nanzhou, which is written on the disciple classics in the Ming Province Valley, but so far, he is the only disciple who has the identity of the third generation disciple of the Ming Province Valley, but has never really set foot in the mountain gate of the Ming Province of Miaozhou. Fang Ye's situation is special, even if many people in the three generations of Ming Province Valley now know about Jiujing, Xue Yun did not tell all about Fang Ye's situation, everyone just knows that Fang Ye, who is inconvenient to leave the Stubborn Prefecture, has known Ling Xia since childhood, and has an excellent relationship.
Although Xue Yun nodded, his brows furrowed slightly: "...... I wanted to ask Ling Xia what she meant. ”
Ling Xia's situation is different from Li Yanran, Li Yanran went home in Cangzhou seriously, she can be above board, and there is no problem if she is discovered. However, Ling Xia was an outcast of the Yin Sect in Naught Prefecture, and many people in the Yin Sect were not friendly to her......
For example, the three Senior Brother He who tried to stop Xue Yuan on the road last time were abolished.
After Xue Yun left, Li Yanning came over.
"Sister. ”
"Yan Ning?" Li Yanran, who was originally a little pensive, heard Li Yanning's voice, and almost instantly smiled, turned around and pulled her sister outside the door in: "Isn't the Hidden Scripture Pavilion busy today? Why did you come to find Sister A at this time?"
Li Yanning pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay...... I asked Lu Yan to help me look at some ......."
At the mention of Lu Yan, the smile on Li Yanran's face was visibly hideous, and she quickly eased up in the face of her sister: "That's right, let him do it, and rest well today." ”
"Uh...... Oh. ”
Li Yanran pulled her sister to the table and sat down, took out an oiled paper bag from the storage bag and opened it: "It just so happened that Ye Qiang, who I entrusted out to inquire about the news, helped me buy the candied fruit, I tasted one, the candied bayberry, the sweet and sour taste is good, you must like it." ”
Li Yanning saw the oiled paper bag that Li Yanran opened, the smile on her face became a little sweeter, and she sat on the stool obediently, waiting for Li Yanran to pick up one and hand it to her.
"Come, open your mouth, ah-" Li Yanran skillfully fed one to her sister's mouth, and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
"Hmm!"
"How many more do you eat?"
"Good ......"
After being fed three candied bayberry in a row, Li Yanning pursed her lips and asked, "Sister...... Sister Xue Yuan, is it ...... I want to go home and have a look?"
Li Yanran was stunned for a moment by this question, then put down the bayberry that she pinched up again in her hand, and touched Li Yanning's cheek with her other hand: "How can there be any 'going home'? Our Yanning is here, isn't this Sister A's home?"
Li Yanning's nose was slightly sour: "Sister ......"
"Well, don't think about it, Sister Ah will always be with Yan Ning. Li Yanran stepped forward and hugged her sister into her arms, and sighed softly: "As for the second uncle...... I should thank you or apologize, there will always be a chance in the future, I will go to Cangzhou to find him. ”
“...... Well. ”
"Oh, it's rare that Yan Ning doesn't have to work today, so it's better to ...... Let's go to the kitchen, Sister will cook something delicious for you?"
Li Yanning's face stiffened slightly: "Uh...... Sister, don't bother......"
"Yan Ning, don't worry, I also took the time to talk to Xiao Luo several times!
“...... That...... Okay......"
......
On the other side, leaving from Li Yanran, before Xue Yuan could go to find Ling Xia, Ling Xia took the initiative to find her.
When Ling Xia came up, she didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "I heard that the two valley masters went to Nanzhou through there, and from there they went north through Cangzhou to Qiaozhou. ”
Xue Yun nodded: "Yes." ”
Ling Xia frowned slightly: "With all due respect...... It may not be so peaceful there. ”
"Oh?"
Ling Xia said calmly: "I have been involved in the Yin Sect for many years before, and although I have been working at the bottom, I can still know some things. The Yin Sect and the Xuanqing Sect are both in the south of the Kyushu Continent, although there is a Miao Prefecture in the middle, but there is also some contact and friendship between each other, if the disciples of the Xuanqing Sect and the Yin Sect meet each other when they are outside the experience, they are more or less close to the other forces in the Kyushu Continent. We were curious about it before...... Xuanqingmen and the Yin Sect, who have the intention of making friends and even watching and helping each other, why don't they join forces to occupy Miaozhou, which has no cultivation forces stationed, and now that they know the existence of the demon clan, they understand that the Yin Sect and the Xuanqing Sect, two sects that are not adjacent to each other, have the meaning of unity, and they may not be afraid of the existence of the Miaozhou Demon Clan. ”
Xue Yuan's heart sank slightly when he heard Ling Xia say this.
"These are also just speculations. Ling Xia continued: "After all, I have never entered the core high-level of the Yin Sect, and I don't know what it has to do with it. At first, we didn't have a deep intersection with the Xuanqing Sect and the Yin Sect, and I didn't have any exit for these unsubstantiated speculations. Later, Ming Shenggu and Xuanqingmen formed a mortal enmity, and the Feng family clearly helped Xuanqingmen, but the Yin Sect has not expressed its position so far...... If I hadn't heard that the two valley masters were going to pass through the stubborn state at this time, I am afraid that I would not have spoken so without evidence. ”
Xue Yun shook his head: "These ...... Makes a lot of sense, thank you. ”
Ling Xia bowed her hand slightly: "Lord Gu's words are serious. ”
Xue Yun thought for a while, and asked again: "Ling Xia, what ...... The Yin Sect of Naughty Prefecture has an intersection with the Feng family in Zhongzhou?"
Ling Xia shook her head: "Within the scope of my knowledge...... Not Sakura but deeper, I don't know. ”
Xue Yuan's suspicions were not unfounded.
First, according to Ling Xia, the Xuanqingmen and the Yin Sect have some friendly relations with each other, and since the previous in Qiaozhou, the matter of the Flowing Light Grass Mountain Range, the Feng family, the Tang family and the Xuanqingmen three forces have suppressed the demon palace in Qiaozhou at the same time, since that time or earlier, the Xuanqingmen has obviously fallen to the Feng family in Zhongzhou, and this time the Feng family is facing the Xuanqing Gate, which is probably the reason. Xuanqingmen is already involved with the Feng family, what about the stubborn state Yin faction that is good friends with Xuanqingmen?
Second, when Xue Yuan rescued Tian Buku, who was chased and killed by the Feng family, in Nanzhou, the territory was not peaceful at that time, and there were many people and eyeliner in the Feng family, if the Yin Sect didn't know about it, it would be a joke. How could a top-level force that had taken root in a place in Nayan Prefecture for thousands of years not even be aware of the other forces' search in their own territory? But the Yin Sect did not care, acting as if they did not know about it, and conniving at those people in Nau Zhou could almost be regarded as a provocation against the Yin Sect. At that time, Xue Yuan was a little suspicious.
It's just that at that time, there was a matter of Qiaozhou Demon Hall being suppressed by the Feng family, the Tang family and the Xuanqing Sect and stepping on face, and Xue Yuan only thought that the Yin Sect was afraid that the Feng family's forces would not dare to fight head-on, so he swallowed his anger and didn't think about it anymore.
But now, after listening to Ling Xia's words and understanding the meaning of Ling Xia's words, letting her and Xiao Luo go to Nayan Prefecture to pay more attention, Xue Yun had to think a little more.
If it was true, even the Yin Sect was falling to the Feng family......
For the time being, I can't be sure that the demon clan is a friend, and Ming Xinggu is really an enemy......
Xue Yun sighed, and his already not easy mood was a little heavier.
But it has come to this, and we have to take one step at a time.
Thinking like this, Xue Yun looked at Ling Xia: "By the way, this time I will go to Naught ...... Zhou."
Ling Xia understood what Xue Yun meant, paused slightly, shook her head and refused like Li Yanran: "Thank you Xue Gu Master, Ling Xia will ...... I won't go back to Naozhou. ”
"Oh?"
"After all, Ling Xia was once a disciple of the Yin Sect, and she was easy to stand out in the realm of the Stubborn Prefecture. It's just a time to be on the side, now is the time when the wind is loud, and the two valley masters had better keep a low profile on this trip, and it is inconvenient to bring Ling Xia with them. Never mind...... It's a long time coming, go back...... There is always a chance, not in a hurry at this moment. ”
Xue Yun sighed, and couldn't help but step forward and gently patted Ling Xia's shoulder with his hand: "It won't be long...... Any disciple of the Ming Province Valley can be upright, hold his head high, and walk on the Kyushu continent, in any corner, without hiding or covering up. ”
Ling Xia looked up at Xue Yuan, with a rare smile on her always cold face.
She knew that Xue Yu was not only Shangguan Miao in the valley, Li Yan Ningtian was not bitter, and it was not just her Ling Xia, but also Fang Ye who was far away in Nayan Prefecture and was guarding Jiujing in Nayan Prefecture.
“...... Good. ”
This, she waited.
