Chapter 149: Yu Yu Lan A visitor from the sea
The sky is blue and the clouds are white. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Last night, Xiaoyaozi and the Mo family wanted to take advantage of Prince Qin's first arrival and unstable foothold to regain the Feather Pill in his hand. Who knew that it was someone who was preempted by someone, and it was the failure of that assassination that made Xiaoyaozi and others' plan to seize the Dan temporarily stranded.
When the group retreated to the Mo family's stronghold outside Songhai City, it happened to be raining heavily. However, the summer rain rains fast and stops fast, and when the sun rises at noon the next day, where are there any traces of rain?
"Which force was the one who assassinated Prince Qin last night? Plantar, are you clear? ”
In the room where the six leaders of the Mo family were discussing affairs, Gao Yuanli asked about the thief who had just returned.
The thief shook his head and said, "No. However, this matter has spread throughout Songhai overnight, and now everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Prince Qin has come to Songhai. I haven't seen it for two days, and the entire land of Qilu should also know. The purpose of the person behind it should not be so simple. ”
"What the thief said is not unreasonable." Xiaoyaozi nodded, as the head of the Taoist sect and an ally of the Mo family, as long as it is not a meeting involving the core secrets of the Mo family's sect, Xiaoyaozi will be invited by the Mo family to discuss countermeasures.
Everyone's eyes turned to Xiaoyaozi, only to hear him continue: "Last night's assassins all dived from the sea, and they didn't alarm Prince Qin's guards in Haiyue Xiaozhu. Those who can have such excellent water properties and cultivate as good should not be ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Indeed, but what are the forces behind these assassins going to do?" Master Ban asked.
"Let Prince Qin's whereabouts be exposed in broad daylight. When everyone's eyes were on him, it would not be easy for Prince Qin to do anything! Gao Yanli thought about it for a while and said.
"If Gao Yuanli's conjecture is correct, then it is likely that the person who sent the assassin this time was not from the forces of the rivers and lakes, but from within the empire." Xiaoyaozi said.
"Leaders, Xiang Liang, the patriarch of the Xiang clan, and Xiang Shaoyu, the young master, have visited and have arrived outside the village." While the meeting was going on, the Mo family disciples outside suddenly replied.
For the sudden visit of the Xiang clan, the people in the house were still quite surprised.
"Please." Gao Yanli and the others got up, went to greet them, greeted them, and invited Xiang Liang and Xiang Shaoyu into the house.
"What's going on? As soon as Shaoyu and I arrived in Songhai, we heard about the assassination of Prince Qin last night. Everyone sat down, and Xiang Liang asked.
Gao Yanli told the incident of seizing the Dan with Xiaoyaozi last night and the speculation of everyone just now.
"I see!" Xiang Liang nodded and said.
"Brother Xiang Liang, didn't you recruit the old department in Chu on the orders of His Royal Highness Xiong Xin, how could you have the leisure to come to Songhai?" Gao asked Wanli.
"I got the news in Chudi that His Royal Highness Xiong Xin is missing, and I can't worry about it, so I came to look for it with Shaoyu. Moreover, Shaoyu also said that he missed Tianming, so he came to the land of Songhai to meet the brothers of the Mo family. Xiang Liang said. Now that the affairs of the entire Chu Di Xiang clan are handled by Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang has nothing to worry about. But Xiong Xin's disappearance made him worried. Because all the actions of the Xiang clan in Chu, including the collection of the old department and the recruitment of Chu ministers, were carried out in the name of Gongzi Xiongxin.
̇"I don't know if Mr. Xiaoyao has any news about His Highness Bear Heart?" ”
"Forgetfulness suddenly disappeared that day, and no one knew his whereabouts. Afterwards, I also asked the disciples of the sect to secretly search, but I didn't find any news at all. Xiaoyaozi also sighed helplessly when he talked about his disciple.
"Is that so?" Xiang Liang looked dazed and sighed. I thought that the Renzong and the Mo family might have news of His Highness Xiong Xin, but who knows that there is still nothing.
"Big event!" Ku Ding ran into this place where the Mo family was in charge of the meeting, and said breathlessly.
"What's wrong?" Gao asked as he asked.
"Prince Qin's subordinate Shi Lan came to an inn this morning to find me, asking me to go to Haiyue Xiaozhu to cook for Prince Qin."
"Shi Lan!" Hearing the news, it was Xiang Shaoyu who reacted the most in the room. At this moment, Xiang Shaoyu has lost a lot of fat after some exercise in Chudi, and his eyes have become sharp again.
Xiang Shaoyu's strange appearance quickly attracted the attention of the people in the room, and he looked embarrassed and explained: "I have already fought with her, but I didn't expect that she was Prince Qin's subordinate. ”
"But what I care about is that Shi Lan's words are very strange, which makes Ding Fatzi feel as if she is not Prince Qin's person." Ku Ding touched his head and said. For Xiang Shaoyu, he didn't pay much attention.
"What did Shi Lan say?"
"Shi Lan said to reassure me, what she experienced in an inn and the people she met would not tell Prince Qin."
"Ku Ding, you once said that Shi Lan's behavior is very strange, and you suspect that she is related to the mysterious Shu Mountain." Gao asked as if he was in acknowledgment.
"That's right, I've noticed that Shi Lan uses strange symbols, and besides, she's associated with people who dress strangely. Looking at the costume, it looks like a person from the land of Bashu. ”
"I remember that a few years ago, Prince Qin led his troops to attack Shushan. If Shi Lan was really from Shushan, then it was likely that he was coerced by the Prince of Qin and had to obey him. ”
"That's right, it must be like that!" Hearing the news, Xiao Chubby Dun's face suddenly turned red, and he clapped his hands. No one in the room was more excited than Xiang Shaoyu when he heard the news.
Gao Yanli ignored Xiang Shaoyu, to be precise, it was not good to break Xiang Shaoyu's thoughts, and said to Ku Ding: "No matter what, this is good news. When you go to Haiyue Xiaozhu, you can get in touch with Shi Lando and test her details. If possible, it may not be impossible to pull it to our side in the future. ”
"No, Shi Lan has been sent by Prince Qin to assist me, and she supervises three meals a day, from grocery shopping to cooking. If she really didn't have the same heart with Prince Qin, then things would be much easier. Ku Ding waved his hand, straightened his stomach, and said with a smile.
"Yes. If our people can infiltrate Prince Qin, this is not a good intelligence channel. Gao gradually left agreed. He never wanted to use this channel to poison Prince Qin. Not only would it be foolish, but it would also cost him his life.
A meeting ended, and Ku Ding was about to leave, but was greeted by Xiao Fat Dun.
Xiang Shaoyu pulled Ku Ding under the pear tree in the courtyard outside the house, put his arm on Ku Ding's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Brother Ku Ding, I heard that your cooking skills are shocking, crying ghosts and gods, and there are few people in the world." I've been thinking about it for a long time, can you find a chance for me to see it too. ”
Ku Ding also had a bad smile on his face at the moment, Xiang Shaoyu's two abnormal performances in the house just now had already attracted his attention, and said, "En! This sycophant is very useful to my fat man. Tell me, do you kid like that Shi Lan? ”
Little Fat Dun nodded and said, "I know that Brother Ding is smart, and he can see through my mind at a glance." ”
"Okay, okay!" Ku Ding couldn't stand your insightful expression, and waved his hand, "Tomorrow Shi Lan and I are going to Dongshi to buy vegetables in the morning, do you want to go with me?" ”
"That's for the best." Xiang Shaoyu said expectantly.
…….
Sea Moon Tsuki.
Ying Ziyi was dressed in a moon-white robe, half-lying on a fur mattress.
"Have you found out the origin of the assassin last night?"
Chen Ping knelt behind the short table in front of Ying Ziyi and replied, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should already have the answer. ”
The Assassins from last night did not leave a single living mouth. Chen Ping guessed that Ying Ziyi already knew the origin of those assassins before he made his move.
"Except for the dead soldiers, what force can have so many masters who are familiar with water?"
"That's true." Chen Ping smiled and said, "It was the hand of the Tian clan, but the order came from Chang Wenjun. ”
"Oh? My big brother doesn't look like he's stopping! I've caused him so much trouble, it's no wonder he's in a hurry. Ying Ziyi smiled and said indifferently.
"That's true, although the Yin and Yang Family's journey to transport the Juxian Pill is top secret, how many forces in the world are staring at it, how can they hide it all? In the past few days alone, the team of the Yin and Yang family transporting pills has encountered five or six large-scale interceptions, and there are countless small-scale ones. The power of the peasant family was also involved. However, under the leadership of Tian Yan, the peasant family is still relatively restrained for the time being. ”
"Without the farmer, the remaining forces in the rivers and lakes are still difficult for the Yin and Yang family to the point of breaking their muscles and bones. The mirage has set sail and will soon reach Songhai. This big brother of mine is probably going to be busy too. ”
"The forces under my command have problems one after another, I'm afraid that Gongzi Fusu is also very annoyed! But if the people of the Yin and Yang family cannot be sent to the mirage within the time limit, then the prince of Fusu, who presided over His Majesty the Emperor's eastern tour this time, will not only lose face, but also leave an impression of incompetence in the empire. Childe Fusu, I'm afraid I'm worried about these things now! Chen Ping said, picked up the wine bottle on the short table, and took a sip gently.
"The peasant family now has the containment of Shengqi, and the Taoist sect is busy with the affairs of the Yuhua Dan, and there is still one Mo family left. However, the Mo family is now wanted by the Empire, and it is impossible for my eldest brother to put them in the open. As a result, there are far fewer men available to him. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried?" A strange smile appeared on Chen Ping's face and asked.
"If he can't complete the task on time, I'm in trouble here." Ying Ziyi picked up the wine bottle on the short table and said with a smile.
"Then, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put up so many obstacles?" Chen Ping said jokingly.
"If we don't let them run so hard, how will we plan to proceed in the future?" Ying Ziyi asked with a smile.
"Haha!" Chen Ping smiled, but his smile suddenly froze. He tilted his head slightly, and a black-clothed swordsman appeared in the attic on the second floor, kneeling down and saying, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Monkey has sent a new message. ”
Ying Ziyi took the bamboo tube in the hands of the black-clothed swordsman, took out the silk strip and looked at it, and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has made a move." ”
Chen Ping took the silk strip in Ying Ziyi's hand, frowned slightly, and said, "Meng Yi led the Shadow Secret Guard to join the Yin Yang Family's journey to escort the pill?" ”
"The Meng clan is deeply trusted by the Qin Emperor, Meng Tian leads the army outside, and Meng Yi leads the shadow secret guard inside. With Meng Yi's ability, it seems that those forces with the idea of gathering elixir are going to suffer. ”
"Among the many generals of Great Qin, only the Meng clan has always been neutral between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Fusu, and is only loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Over the years, although Wuchecheng has had trade contacts with the Meng family, it is also general and has never been in-depth. His Majesty the Emperor sent the shadow guards, I don't know what kind of impact it will have on His Highness's plans? ”
Chen Ping was a little worried about the variable that had burst into the plan.
"It's okay, if it'......."
Ying Ziyi hadn't finished speaking, but he felt an extremely powerful aura coming from above the sea.
This powerful aura did not have any trace of concealment, and it struck like a mountain and a sea, even an ordinary soldier of Haiyue Xiaozhu could feel the coercion brought by this breath, making people feel that it was not the legendary sea beast attacking.
Mu Xuzi was the most troublesome among the crowd, he took over the guards around Prince Qin for only one day and night, and he suffered so many changes one after another. First of all, he encountered an unknown assassination last night, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unharmed. Today, I met such a master of unknown origin.
Mu Xuzi used to be an elder of the Human Sect, so naturally he would not be as ignorant as the Qin soldiers around him. The power contained in this breath, as far as he could see, could only be felt when facing the Heavenly Sect's Northern Darkness Master.
In other words, the person who came was a master who was not inferior to the master of the Northern Underworld. Fortunately, there was not a trace of hostility on the part of the comer, otherwise, he would have to confess here today.
However, even so, Mu Xuzi still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, because he knew that for a master of that level, hostility was just something superfluous.
Soon, Mu Xuzi looked into the distance and found a person covered in black clothes stepping on the sea, walking step by step. He was accompanied by a little girl.
That person's cultivation was so high that Mu Xuzi had a almost illusory feeling. Even if an ordinary master has reached the peak, it is impossible to reach the realm of that black-robed man, stepping on the sea as if he was stepping on flat ground.
The distance was only a moment under the man's feet, and soon, he took the girl and approached Haiyue Xiaozhu.
"Who dares to trespass into the palace of Prince Qin." Mu Xuzi shouted loudly. Even if he was beating the drum in his heart, he had to say.
"His Excellency the Eastern Emperor is driving to Haiyue Xiaozhu, and this king has lost his welcome, disrespect, and disrespect." Ying Ziyi stood outside the corridor of the second-floor attic, with his hands behind his back, looking at Donghuang Taiyi and Gao Yue beside him, and said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
