Chapter 69: The City
On the rough mountain road ahead, two horses rushed forward and backward, because the weather was too tired to see the road really, so the speed of the horse slowed down a lot.
"Your Highness, this horse has been running non-stop for a few days and nights, and it doesn't seem to have any strength, and I don't know if I can find an inn to rest after crossing this mountain, if I don't stop stopping, I'm afraid this horse will be tired to death."
"It's because I owe it to me, I just want to get to Qingyuan County as soon as possible, but I forgot about this stubble, you must be tired, right? After this mountain, we went to find an inn to rest. โ
"Your Highness is so eager, the slave maid has never seen it, I really want to see the girl who can make His Royal Highness King Zhao, who has never been close to women, think about it so much, she must be very beautiful, right?"
"Yes, it's beautiful, just like this mountain spring, refreshing, pure and beautiful." King Zhao's words carried a hint of lightness, and the corners of his lips also rose slightly, as if he saw the happiness of him and Yaoyao in the previous life.
"Your Highness, there is someone ahead!" Yao Qian suddenly shouted, looking at the swaying figure in front of him, his eyes were vigilant, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to โกโก at any time.
King Zhao looked at the two figures in front of him, and said: "The two of us have never told anyone when we left Shangjing, not even the six Yan and they don't know, should we leak the news, Xu is the people who have lost their way in the mountains, let's go and see." โ
King Zhao said that he was going to go after riding his horse, but was stopped by Yao Qian: "Your Highness, just in case, let's go alone with the slave and maid, your daughter and noble body can't be harmed." โ
Knowing Yao Qian's concern, King Zhao pulled the reins and stopped, and nodded lightly: "It's okay, then you should be more careful." โ
After Yao Qian received the order, he rode his horse and ran over, and saw that it was two young men, who looked soft and weak and did not look like people who knew martial arts, so he relaxed a little: "Who are you two doing, what are you doing in the mountains late at night?" โ
Ah Yao's matter has gradually become clear, seeing someone coming, he subconsciously wanted to open his mouth for help, but when he opened his mouth, his throat was dry and he couldn't spit out a word.
Yao Qi was so anxious that she was about to cry: "This sister, you save us, we got lost on this mountain, and my sister is about to faint." โ
Yao Qian's brows frowned slightly, and he looked at the two of them seriously, they were really two little girls dressed as men.
At this time, King Zhao had already come over on horseback, and when he saw Yao Qian standing there motionless, he asked, "What's going on?" โ
"Hui Gongzi, it's two little girls who got lost, one of them seems to be sick and looks very strict."
Hearing this, King Zhao looked in the direction Yao Qian pointed, but this look made his whole person stagnate.
In the thick night, the other party's face was not real, but it made him feel very familiar, and his heart beat violently.
Yaoyao? A name that came to mind was a little unbelievable even to him, was it really her?
"Childe!" Yao Qian saw him suddenly turn over and dismount, and was so frightened that he exclaimed and wanted to stop him, for fear that he would have a little accident.
King Zhao didn't seem to hear it, walked quickly to the two of them, squatted down beside Ah Yao, and when he saw the face that made him imprint in his mind, thinking about it day and night, a heart could not hide the excitement welled up.
"Yaoyao." He hugged Ah Yao, who was no longer conscious, in a little panic, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?" โ
Yaoyao? Hearing this familiar name, Yao Qian already knew in his heart, it turned out that this is the woman who can make the prince of the palace and the current son of heaven put it on the tip of his heart? She's so happy.
"Your Highness, Miss Yao is unconscious, let's help her find a doctor to treat her first." Yao Qianwen Shengjian said.
Yao Qian's words made King Zhao instantly regain his senses, like waking up from a dream: "Yes, find a doctor, Yaoyao, you hold on, I'll take you to find a doctor." โ
King Zhao stopped Ah Yao by the waist and picked him up, jumped on the horse's back, pulled the rope and turned the horse's head and galloped away.
Yao Qi was a little confused for a while, and chased after the horse in front of him and shouted: Hey, who are you, let go of my sister! โ
Seeing her anxious look, Yao Qian explained: "Don't worry, your sister will be fine, come with me." โ
"Oh." Yao Qi was slightly stunned for a moment, and obediently followed Yao Qian on horseback.
The imperial capital is in Beijing
In the study room of King Zhao's Mansion, a man who was not confused was sitting by the bookcase, quietly looking at the book book, and from time to time he picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.
After a long time, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at Liuyan, who had been standing beside him with an anxious face: "If you have anything to say, just say it." โ
Liuyan arched his hand and said: "Master, His Royal Highness King Zhao has disappeared for a while, and the people of the government and the opposition are unstable, which may not be conducive to his enthronement ceremony after the year." โ
Yue Tai stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before asking, "What news do you have from the people who sent out?" โ
Liuyan shook his head: "King Zhao didn't say anything to anyone when he left this time, and he only took Yao Qian with him when he went out, and the disciple has mobilized the entire bell tower to look for it, but he still found nothing." โ
Yue Tai let out a soft "um" and said, "A few days ago, I asked you to pay attention to the Seven Shadows in Shangjing, have you ever seen others?" โ
"The disciple has never seen the senior disciple yet."
Yue Tai pondered for a moment and continued: "He definitely doesn't want to cause us trouble, so he deliberately avoids our people, you go to find it in person these days, if he arrives in Qingyuan County, he will definitely find a way to go to the vicinity of the Heavenly Prison to find out the news, and when I see him, I must bring him back to me." โ
Liuyan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why does Master think that Senior Brother Hades will come to Beijing?" โ
Yue Tai smiled: "Do you remember when you told the teacher that King Zhao seems to be interested in the lady of the Seven Immortals?" โ
Liuyan nodded, but he still didn't understand what the connection was.
"King Zhao told you that Yao Zhengdong and King Yin were imprisoned together, and you couldn't wait to tell you about it, and King Zhao disappeared a few days later, don't you think these things are very related?"
After Yue Taiyi reminded Liuyan, he suddenly understood a little that Yao Zhengdong's imprisonment was something he overheard King Zhao talk about, and King Zhao must have known that he would tell him about it, so he deliberately let him hear it. And King Zhao also clearly understood that if Qiming knew about this, he would definitely come to Beijing to save Yao Zhengdong's life, and he could take this opportunity to go to Qingyuan County to find Qiming's wife.
Could it be that King Zhao went to Qingyuan County?
However, His Royal Highness King Zhao will really make a seizure. Is the wife's thing coming? He had followed King Zhao for so long, and he would never believe that he would be such a despicable man.
Liuyan said decisively: "No, His Highness will not treat Qiyin like this." โ
Yue Tai sneered: "Which of their royal men is not ruthless and unjust, and he will take revenge, the first emperor is like this, and his son is also like this." โ
"Master?" Looking at the man in front of him who had raised him, Liu Yan suddenly felt so strange, such a master was something he had never seen before. Didn't Master always ask us to support King Zhao, but now why do we see hatred in his eyes, hatred for King Zhao, hatred for the royal family?
Yue Tai glanced at him lightly: "Find the Seven Immortals, everything you want to know will be answered." โ
Yue Tai said, leaving the six Yan with a tangled face and walked out of the study alone.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiu Mo and Thirteen Shadows talking mysteriously in front of the corridor not far away, he stepped forward and stood behind the two of them and coughed heavily.
Jiu Mo and Thirteen Shadows trembled when they heard this, and turned around with a smile: "Master, why are you here?" โ
Yue Tai gently swept over the slightly anxious looks of the two, and finally landed his gaze on the hand behind the Thirteen Shadows: "What are you two doing here?" What's behind Ah Ying? โ
"No, nothing." Thirteen Shadow Qiang replied with a smile, but was obediently handed over by Yue Tai's gaze, "It's just a pigeon." โ
Looking at the pigeon that Thirteen Shadows slowly took out from behind his back, Yue Tai said again: "What are you afraid of a pigeon?" Whose carrier pigeon is this, and what about the letter? โ
The Thirteen Shadows were frightened, and looked at Jiu Mo on the side for help, Jiu Mo was also frightened by Yue Tai's aura, where did he dare to speak for the Thirteen Shadows, and he didn't dare to look at Yue Tai's gaze with his head down.
"Huh?" Yue Tai stretched out his hand towards the Thirteen Shadows, his eyes cold and terrifying.
Thirteen Shadows couldn't escape, so they had to send it obediently: "Yes, it's a letter from Senior Brother Immortal's wife to Senior Brother Yan, saying that Senior Brother Immortal came to Beijing to rescue Yao Zhengdong and let us stop him." โ
Yue Tai took it and looked at it again, and then looked at the two of them: "Who gave you the courage to hide it from me?" โ
Jiu Mo and Thirteen Shadows were so frightened that they knelt on the ground: "Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong. โ
"Master, Senior Brother Hades has also grown up with us since childhood, and Master has always loved him, and now he is running alone to save people, how can he be able to defeat the Praetorian Guards in the Heavenly Prison, I beg you, help Senior Brother Hades." Jiu Mo cried and begged.
Yue Tai sighed, and his tone softened: "You two get up, this matter is up to the teacher." Now, you have more important things to do. โ
"Yes." Jiu Mo and Thirteen Shadows stood up obediently, "But listen to Master's orders." โ
Yue Tai nodded: "You set off immediately, follow the road from Shangjing to Qingyuan County, find the whereabouts of King Zhao and the Seven Lady of the Dead and come back quickly to report." โ
Jiu Mo was a little puzzled: "How could His Highness be with Senior Brother Hades's wife?" As soon as the words came out, he was frightened by Yue Tai's eyes and closed his mouth: "Yes, the disciple is ordered." โ
"This time, you just need to keep an eye on them secretly, and no one will find out, including King Zhao, do you remember?"
Jiu Mo and Thirteen Shadows nodded repeatedly: "Remember." โ
Yue Tai said "um" and waved his hand at the two: "Go." โ
Looking at Jiu Mo and Thirteen Shadows who were gradually moving away, Yue Tai's gaze became solemn little by little.
