Chapter 187: Waiting for an Opportunity
Walking out of the other garden, Nie Ying quickly disappeared into the crowd. At this time, there are still many people on the street, but there is still a faint dull and oppressive smell in the space. Everywhere, neatly armored soldiers.
I found an inn at random to stay in, sat in the room, and thought about how to let Li Qingchu's brothers and sisters take him into the palace without the slightest suspicion.
It was noon, and he didn't come up with a good solution, so he shook his head with a wry smile and paced out of the room to sober himself up. Although the continent is in turmoil now, the target of the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's crusade is the Ling Heavenly Dynasty, and the war has not yet reached the Proud Heavenly Dynasty, plus this is the imperial city, so the people don't have much sorrow in their hearts.
There are not many vacant spaces in the spacious restaurant. I found a place to sit down, ordered a few side dishes, and enjoyed it leisurely, listening to the chatter of the diners in the restaurant, which can be regarded as relaxing my nervous mind.
The most talked about was the battle a few nights ago, listening to what they said, it seemed to be immersive, which made Nie Ying shake his head, and the words really spread more and more.
After listening to it for a long time, when his stomach was almost filled, a new topic suddenly caught Nie Ying's attention.
"Hey, have you heard, the Ling Heavenly Emperor Dynasty has sent people to other dynasties to ask for help under the pressure of the Cloud Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. ”
An elderly man said strangely: "How is this possible? For a long time, the Ling Heavenly Emperor Dynasty has been very unruly towards several other great dynasties by relying on its good geographical environment and rich country and people's wealth, although the Yuntian Dynasty is strong, it will not make him unbearable in a short period of time, right?"
"How is it impossible?" The young man who spoke before sneered, "This time, Her Majesty the Empress of the Cloud Heavenly Emperor Dynasty seems to be ruthlessly determined to destroy the Ling Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, and he has already raised the power of the entire dynasty. Although Ling Tian was very strong, he was still not as good as the Cloud Heaven Dynasty, and his plea for help should be true. ”
"How do you know?"
The man smiled proudly, "One of my cousins is a Praetorian Guard in front of the palace and overheard it. I heard that the envoy of the Ling Heavenly Dynasty is about to arrive in our Imperial City. ”
Suddenly, a respectful voice surged over the young man, making his vanity soar, and a wave of pride quickly appeared on his face.
"Someone from the Ling Heavenly Emperor's Dynasty?" Nie Ying smiled coldly in his heart: "Do you want to ask for help, I want you to come and go!"
In a faint murderous expression, I heard the young man continue: "Listen to my cousin, it will probably be tomorrow, and the envoy of the Ling Heavenly Emperor Dynasty will arrive, and it will definitely be very lively at that time." ”
With a raised eyebrow, Nie Ying got up and came to the young man's side and asked, "This brother, do you know that their envoy will enter the imperial city through that city gate?"
The young man looked at Nie Ying strangely, as if the question was idiotic, and replied after a while: "Naturally, you will enter from the East City Gate." ”
"Thank you!" Under the strange gaze of everyone, Nie Ying quickly left the restaurant.
Rushing all the way through the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate already knew him, and he hurriedly flashed to the side, not thinking of interrogation. This road was the same way Nie Ying entered the city, and it was easy for him to find a suitable place for an ambush.
A small valley, narrow at both ends, quite wide in the middle, with craggy rocks climbing on the cliffs beside them. Nie Ying glanced around, found a hidden place, buried his figure in it, and clearly saw the whole valley through the gaps in the branches in front of him.
With a cold smile, Nie Ying restrained his whole body's breath, closed his eyes, put his spiritual sense to the maximum, and slowly exercised his mental method in his brain to keep himself at his peak at all times.
As night approached, the occasional sound of unknown beasts sounded around me, bringing a little life to the quiet space. Time passed slowly, a new cycle of the sun and moon began, and a soft light slowly rose on the distant horizon.
Nie Ying, who was in the middle of the meditation, suddenly moved his eyelashes, and after a while, a rapid sound of the wind chasing beast stomping on the ground came quickly from far to near. Huo Ran opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Lion City, only to see a group of eight people leading a team of elite soldiers to appear in sight.
"Why are they here?" Nie Ying frowned, the two people in front of him were Li Yaocheng and Li Qingchu. With the existence of these two people, it was impossible for him to make a move against the people of the Ling Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. It was also Nie Ying who was too anxious and didn't think about it. A dynasty is coming, it is impossible for the Li family to be ungreeted by the royal family?
After thinking for a moment, Nie Ying kept his original appearance and waited quietly. About an hour later, Li Qingchu's brother and sister turned around, and the people who followed behind the two were already a different batch.
After a rough calculation, there were dozens of so-called messengers, I don't know whether they were intentional or unintentional, these people faintly exuded their own aura, spreading in the sky, disturbing the commotion of the beasts in the valley.
"The strength is very good. He said coldly in his heart, feeling the breath hovering in the sky, these people are all above the yellow-level realm, and the few people who are closely following the brother and sister are all above the green level, this kind of lineup is enough to be called luxurious.
Strongly restraining the intense murderous intent hovering in his heart, after everyone left the valley, Nie Ying quietly followed. You can't do it now, and you have to know where they live so you can find an opportunity to do it.
Entering the imperial city all the way, after turning a few lively streets, everyone stopped in front of a luxurious and spacious mansion, not daring to follow too closely, so Nie Ying couldn't hear what Li Qingchu and the others said at the door of the mansion.
Ten minutes later, the brother and sister ran in the direction of the palace, but the elite soldiers stayed. Glancing awe-inspiringly, Nie Ying smiled coldly, his expression suddenly moved, and his figure shot into the path next to him like lightning.
On the square outside the palace, Nie Ying was swaying leisurely, although he was waiting for Li Qingchu's brothers and sisters, his eyes were focused on the humanoid stone sculpture in the middle of the square.
A stone sculpture of a woman, lifelike. The long hair was curling down, and in the middle of it, the white robe seemed to be flying in the wind. The whole stone sculpture is made of white jade, which shines in the soft sunlight. However, the strange thing is that the stone carving is perfect in any place, except that the woman's face is not carved, which gives people a sense of mystery.
Standing under the stone carving, it suddenly made Nie Ying feel a familiar taste, and at the same time, there was a faint strong oppression. Looking up, I couldn't remember where this familiar smell came from.
"Nie Ying, why are you here?" While thinking about it, Li Qingchu's brother and sister rushed over in a wind chasing beast.
"Hehe, Brother Nie, where are you in the sky these days, and even the main hall can't find you?" Li Yaocheng said politely.
Nie Ying didn't turn around, and said lightly: "What, is His Royal Highness monitoring me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Li Yaocheng hurriedly responded, seeing the other party staring at the stone carving, he said respectfully: "This is the first god of a hundred flowers." ”
"It turned out to be the First God, no wonder. Nie Ying muttered softly, turned around and said, "The two of you must have something important, please." ”
Li Qingchu got down from the wind chasing beast and said with a light smile: "It's not a big deal, Nie Ying, if you have time in the evening, please come to the other garden for a gathering, Qingchu has something important to talk about." ”
Without waiting for Nie Ying to answer, Li Yaocheng's brows furrowed tightly, and just when he was about to speak, Li Qingchu preemptively said: "Nie Ying, just say it, second emperor brother, my father is still waiting for us, let's enter the palace." ”
Nie Ying smiled lightly and said, "The two of you, please, Nie will be on time in the evening." With that, he walked into the distance.
Li Yaocheng had no choice but to enter the palace with Li Qingchu one after the other. The main hall in the palace is majestic and towering, and the soldiers are shuttling in the middle in an orderly manner.
Above the court, the ministers stood with their heads bowed, silent, and as the brother and sister entered, the dull breath that had diffused inside began to subside.
"See Father!"
"Excuse me, can you settle the envoy of the Ling Heavenly Emperor?" said the majestic old man lightly, with a golden robe and a dragon crown on his head.
Li Qingchu replied crisply: "Yes, and they also made their intentions clear, it is indeed for me to send troops to the DPRK to solve their difficulties." ”
"On weekdays, I am arrogant, but at the moment of crisis, I think of my dynasty, hum, the Ling Heavenly Emperor Dynasty is really a good idea. The hall was filled with a lot of talking.
His Majesty the Emperor sneered: "The Emperor's reply is for them to agree?"
Li Yaocheng smiled stupidly: "Now they are coming to beg me, and if they don't agree, they won't succeed." But. Li Yaocheng paused slightly, and said: "Father, they have long expected that the army will not go so smoothly, and they also seem to know that our court will come here, so among these entourages, there are some powerful and powerful people, I am afraid it is not as easy to solve as we imagined." ”
"Brother Second Emperor's words are wrong, although the strong man on the other side is good, but this is in the territory of my Proud Emperor Dynasty. He has only a few dozen people, does he want to compare with our entire dynasty?" Li Qingchu said disappreciatively: "There are five battles in this battle, I don't believe that in the Lion City, there are no five strong people who can defeat them." ”
"Huh. His Majesty the Emperor smiled with satisfaction and said confidently: "Although my Proud Heavenly Emperor Dynasty is not comparable to the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's Dynasty, if I can't find five strong people in my court, then what kind of face do I have to face the people of the world?"
"Father, rest assured, the sons and daughters will definitely handle this matter properly, and it is necessary to eat turtles in the sky, and at the same time raise the prestige of our country!" Li Qingchu knelt on the ground and said loudly word by word.
"Okay, Qingchu, I'll leave this matter to you, go back and tell them that the day is only five days away, and I want them to know that my Proud Heavenly Emperor is not weak. His Majesty the Emperor said lightly, and it was clear from the laughter that he believed in his only daughter.
However, such a move made Li Yaocheng even more angry. Catching a glimpse of this anger from the corner of his eye, Li Qingchudai frowned slightly, and said tightly: "What my father told my son to do, my son will never dare to slack off, but what if someone stops him?"
The emperor slowly stood up from the dragon chair, took one hand behind his back, pointed the other hand to the people below, and said with a sneer: "It is a matter of the dignity and peace of the dynasty, if someone dares to destroy it, light beginning, you can cut it first without having to explain the reason." ”
"Yes, Father. ”
Under the holy decree, everyone was happy and worried! Raising his head, Li Qingchu quickly left the hall under the awe-inspiring gaze of the ministers.
