Chapter 23: Opportunity
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's evening again, and this is the Hidden Capital, a huge city in the center of the sacred land, and the head of the city is enough to reach into the clouds. The whole city is magnificent and ancient, bathed in the setting sun, and is still bustling and lively.
In a splendid mansion, in a well-decorated room, a frail-faced teenager struggled to get out of bed.
His face was resolute and unyielding, but at the moment it was full of pain.
The young man was very emotional, and pleaded with another black-clothed young man standing beside the bed: "Youfu, please, save my grandfather!" ”
But the next moment, the young man regretted it again, he lowered his head, and whispered: "I'm sorry, young master, I was rude just now." I am reckless and stupid, and I am guilty of losing your ......."
"Don't say it," the young man in black calmly made a gesture to interrupt the other party's words, and he said confidently, "The old man will definitely come back safely." ”
For me, it shouldn't be too difficult.
You thought coldly in her heart, without the slightest hesitation in her tone. Recalling the scene by the Ghost Ink Lake two days ago, the young man couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
He just used a little trick to let the old Taoist who pretended to be profound turn into the mouth of the monster in the Ghost Ink Lake.
That demon Taoist looked unfathomable, but now it seemed that it was just a pretentious gesture.
Otherwise, how could he be so easily deceived by a teenager's deception and die in the mouths of a group of monsters?
This mysterious and dangerous demon Daoist is still like this, let alone his own stupid uncle. And the arrogant brother, they are just strong on the outside, and there is nothing to worry about at all.
Thinking of this, Yu Yu confidently emphasized again: "Jiuye, don't worry about anything." I am the owner of this mansion, and no matter what happens, I will save the old man safe and sound. ”
But at this moment, footsteps sounded, and a thin man dressed as a guard did not knock on the door, but pushed the door directly.
The two teenagers immediately shut their mouths, but the thin man still seemed to hear something. You confused recognized at a glance that this person was a close confidant of the Marquis of Guichuan.
The man glanced coldly at Jiuye who was sitting on the bed, and then, he turned around, bowed to Youyushen, and said respectfully: "Young Master, Lord Guichuan Hou has something important to discuss with you, please go to your study immediately." ”
Yu Yu frowned, and glanced at Jiuye behind him, signaling him to be cautious. Then, he followed the guard out of here and went to the study of the Marquis of Guichuan.
On the road, when there was no one around, the guard said without looking back: "Young master, I have watched you grow up since childhood, and I don't know whether to say it or not. You are a noble person, and you should be cautious when you make promises, and make promises for insignificant things, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"What if I had made a promise?" Yu asked calmly.
"Since it's an inconsequential matter, it's just child's play. Before making any promises next time, I hope that the young master will think twice. The guard replied expressionlessly.
Yu Yu snorted coldly and did not speak.
After a while, the two came to the door of the study of the Marquis of Guichuan, and the guards left consciously, and Yu Yu walked into the door alone.
It's a study, but there aren't any books. In the spacious room, there are all kinds of strange treasures, graceful and luxurious, many of which are extraordinary gods, flashing with glittering treasures. There is a sacred wood quilt made of flooring, spread on the ground, exuding a faint fragrance, refreshing people's spleen.
This is the room of the Marquis of Guichuan, he was once a faint mortal, but since he entered this vast divine land by chance and was enshrined as the Marquis of Guichuan, he not only has a lofty status, but also got rid of the shackles of mortals, and has a long lifespan since then.
Although he looks like a young man on the outside, the Marquis of Onikawa is already more than a hundred years old this year. Over the years, he has searched for divine elixirs everywhere and studied various divine techniques with his heart.
It can be said that he has been completely reborn now, and he is completely different from the mortal who was scheming and wanted to enter the dark land.
That long history, except for the third prince, few people now dare to mention it in front of the Marquis of Guichuan.
The Marquis of Onikawa was sitting behind the table drinking tea, and when he saw the Confusion enter the room, he nodded coldly and motioned for the Confusion to sit down.
The sun was setting outside the window, night was falling, and everything was quiet at the moment, and there were only the two of them sitting opposite each other in this room.
Guichuan Hou picked up a bowl of tea, gently sipped it in his mouth, and with a rare bit of joy on his pale face, he said, "Youfu, I just got a notice. In a few days, perhaps something very good will happen. ”
After saying this, the smile on the pale and mean face of the Marquis of Guichuan suddenly disappeared, his face turned cold, and he said coldly: "Of course, it may also be a big bad thing. ”
For this uncle's pretense of profoundness, he was already accustomed to confusion, and the young man asked calmly: "What is the matter, please tell my uncle in detail." ”
The Marquis of Guichuan was very dissatisfied with the calmness on the young man's face, and he rudely drank the tea in the cup and said, "In five days, the delegation of the Western Heavenly Demon Kingdom will come to our hidden capital. Ten thousand years ago, when the dark land was not hidden in the world, this Western Heavenly Demon Kingdom was our ally. Now, the Netherlands have reappeared, and although most of the mortals are not yet aware of it, the gossip has reached the Demon Land, and they have sent a mission to visit us, hoping to ally with us again. ”
"I see," Yu Yu frowned, falling into deep thought, "I have heard of the Western Heavenly Demon Kingdom, which is a vast demon clan divine land, powerful and ancient. How did Father react to their request for an alliance? ”
"According to Mr. Ethereal, the King of Youwang has generally agreed to form an alliance with the Demon Kingdom," the Marquis of Guichuan said, "After three divine dragons from Zhongzhou entered my dark land, they were sacrificed alive with blood. Although the news has not yet come out, the three dragons are gone forever and have already attracted the attention of the countries of Middle-earth. ”
"Once this news is fully exposed, it will cause an uproar in Middle-earth, and the secrets of the hidden land will no longer be protected, and we will be completely exposed to the eyes of the world. The large number of human kingdoms in Middle-earth is naturally not to be worried, but there are also a few so-called divine courts, perhaps even in the eyes of your father, it is not a big trouble. ”
"After the Western Heavenly Demon Kingdom learned the news of our Netherland's existence, it was willing to renew the covenant that was 10,000 years ago. In this eventful season, this alliance with the demon clan is naturally a good thing. At that time, the Heavenly Demon Lady will personally lead the delegation to the Youdu, and at the celebration five days later, the Youwang will be present to greet him. ”
"Heavenly Demon Grandma, is that the sister of the Western Heavenly Demon God?" Puzzle asked, somewhat surprised.
"That's right, it's the demon grandmother." The Marquis of Guichuan lowered his voice, "I also got a secret news, it is said that the Heavenly Demon Lady may bring the princess of the Demon Kingdom to marry me. ”
The Marquis of Guichuan smiled, stared at the confused face, and said meaningfully: "The Western Heavenly Demon Kingdom is also a sacred land that has existed since ancient times, and the Western Demon Clan is extremely powerful, and the years that have been experienced for the Western Heavenly Demon God may be longer than your father." The sister of the demon god came to propose marriage in person, and this marriage may affect the future of the dark land and the demon country. Even your invincible father, who has been invincible since ancient times, will take this seriously. ”
The tone of the Marquis of Guichuan was a little more cordial, and the uncle said earnestly: "Youfu, for you, the banquet in five days is a great opportunity, do you understand what I mean?" ”
