Chapter 70: Suspicious Soldiers on All Sides
At the south gate of the Fire King City, an inconspicuous old man with a bamboo cane entered from the city gate. Walk slowly and leisurely all the way to the Fire King City. The old man with a bamboo cane had just entered the city gate. Another old man sat alone on top of the restaurant, and when he saw the old man with a bamboo cane, a drop of wine shook out of his cup. Two fingers flicked towards the old man with a bamboo cane, and landed on the center of the old man's eyebrows. The old man looked up and saw the wine fairy sitting on top of the restaurant. The wine fairy saw the old man with a bamboo cane and said with a smile, the old guy has a drink.
The old man with a bamboo cane walked into the restaurant, went up the stairs, and sat opposite the wine fairy. Stand your bamboo cane in front of the table. The restaurant is noisy, and there are a lot of outsiders these days. The wine fairy took a cup and poured a glass of warm wine, and the old man with a bamboo cane drank it all.
The old man with the bamboo cane smacked his lips and sighed, "I haven't drunk for a long time, and the two of us haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
The wine fairy took a sip of the wine in the gourd and said, "Ten years, fifteen years, I'm old, I don't remember." ”
The old man with the bamboo cane asked, "You are also interested in the son of Haojie?"
The wine fairy smiled and said: "When I am old, I just want to enjoy the blessings, and I don't have time to care about these things, so I will go wherever there is excitement." ”
"You say, could that kid be hope?" the old man with the bamboo cane asked coldly, staring at the wine fairy.
The wine fairy thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't ask me this question, people have always been in your hands, why don't you have hope." ”
The old man with the bamboo cane picked up the wine jug himself, poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said in a flat tone: "I can't hide it, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, if he is not as ...... as I think"
"You're going to kill him. The wine fairy said what the old man with the bamboo cane did not say.
For a moment, both of them had nothing to say. The atmosphere was very awkward, and the old man with the bamboo cane was extremely painful in his heart at this time. If you kill Fuqiu Yu, your efforts for so many years will not be in vain. But he was more worried that the floating hill rain was not what he thought.
While the two were talking, another group of people entered from the south of the city, dozens of people, each riding a white pegasus, without going through the city gate, flying directly from the south wall. The leader was dressed in a golden costume and looked particularly dazzling in the sun. Several people walked past the old man.
"The second prince of the royal family has arrived. Brewmaster said.
The old man with a bamboo cane approached the railing and took a closer look at a few people. These people are all masters, and their cultivation is not below them. At this moment, a group of guards in the distance ran over and blasted the entire street in both directions. Then the maid rolled out the red carpet all the way to the feet of the second prince.
The royal family has come, and the handover must be in these days. Fuqiu Yu is trapped in the royal city, and it is very difficult to save people in the city, not to mention that he doesn't know where Fuqiu Yuguan is, so he can only do it when they hand over is the best time. But how to deal with those masters, the wine fairy has no bottom in his heart.
In order to welcome the arrival of the prince, a grand ceremony was prepared in the royal castle. The second prince knew that if he wanted to take away the floating hill rain, he had to come up with some benefits. After the ceremony, the second prince immediately announced the reward of the royal family. This move really won the heart of the Fire King, and the royal family brought 100,000 gold coins this time, and allowed the Fire King to have a private army of 100,000.
After Haojie, the royal family crowned all some meritorious people as kings. In order to control these kings, there are restrictions on these kings with different surnames. In particular, the most important number of troops, the maximum number of troops for each king with a different surname is no more than 10,000 people. The royal family gave the Fire King a limit of 100,000 troops this time, how could the Fire King not be happy. Although it is 100,000, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the Imperial Five Banners Army Praetorian Guard, so there is no need to worry that the Fire King will turn the sky upside down.
The Fire King immediately took the second prince to see the floating hill rain. Fuqiu Yu and Long Li were locked up in prison for many days, and by this time the superficial injuries on their bodies had healed. It's just that the meridians of the whole body are blocked, and the true qi in the body can't run. The Fire King led the way and led the second prince into the dungeon.
The second prince came to Fuqiuyu, looked at Fuqiuyu who was sitting in prison and asked, "You are the one who killed my eldest brother?"
Fuqiu Yu slowly raised his head and saw a man in front of him, with a thin figure, a slightly pointed face, a handful of goatees, and a man in golden clothes. Fuqiu Yu never forgave people, so he snorted and said, "That's right, it's grandpa and me." ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of the second prince's mouth, and the prisoner under the stairs was still so hard-mouthed, so his palm opened. The second prince pinched the floating hill rain in the air, making the floating hill rain breathless. The dragon struggled, the chains rattled, and filthy words burst out of his mouth. The second prince grabbed Long Li's neck with his other hand. Fuqiu Yu and Long Lili were choked by the throat, unable to speak, and their faces turned red and purple after a short time.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Fire King hurriedly came out and persuaded: "Second prince, if you go down any further, you will die." ”
The second prince naturally knew that now was not the time to kill them, the Fire King had so many mouths, I was afraid that he didn't take himself seriously. Turning his head to look at the Fire King, a cold light appeared in his eyes. With a palm in their hands, Fuqiu Yu and Long Li fell to the ground, and the two of them coughed incessantly. The second prince turned around and hurried away, followed by the Fire King, out of the dungeon. The second prince knew in his heart that this matter was very important, and immediately discussed with the Fire King how to transport the two away.
Fire King City is located in the western region of the continent, and the surrounding area has been turned into a desert by the Fire King. The temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, when dark clouds cover the bright moon, and the night breeze is as cool as autumn water. There was already a curfew on the streets, and people were hiding in their houses and were afraid to come out. It's a good opportunity to carry away the rain on the floating hills. The Fire King City had already been prepared, and the second prince gave an order to divide four teams of men and horses from the city, and each pair of men and horses pulled two sealed iron cabinets. This is a suspicious plan laid by the second prince.
The old man with the bamboo cane and the wine fairy lay on the wall, looking at the people and horses from a distance. I don't know which one is true and which one is false. Whether it's true or not, choose one. The two were about to make a move, when they suddenly saw a black shadow rushing out of the forest and flying north to chase after them. It was impossible to see this man in the darkness.
The wine fairy sighed and said: "This is strange, it seems that you are not the only one who is interested in the son of Haojie, how about the old ghost, now that someone is chasing the north, which one do you choose to chase." ”
The old man with the bamboo cane said without hesitation: "I choose the east." She wants to rescue Fuqiu Yu as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for herself, and she flies after her.
The wine fairy took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "For the sake of many years of love, I will help you once, but your vision has never been very good, so I choose the west." After saying that, he also got up and chased west.
The old man with the bamboo cane chased north, and kept following the team without moving. The entire team, front, center, and rear, was guarded by four royal guards, flanked by teams on Pegasus, and at the back was an army of 100 men sent by the Fire King. For the old man with a bamboo cane, there were only twelve royal guards to deal with.
When the team left the city and came to a wide area, the old man with the bamboo cane saw the opportunity. Pulling out the sword in the bamboo cane, only screams were heard in the dark night, and it didn't take long to slash and kill more than half of the plundering team. Seeing that someone was coming to intercept people, the whole team immediately formed an iron cylinder and wrapped the two iron boxes tightly.
