Chapter Seventy-Eight: Participation
"You did that female ghost just now?" he asked.
The girl hesitated for a long time before nodding slightly.
"Wow, how did you do that?" Han Lingxiao didn't expect that the female ghost to really be made by her, and asked curiously in amazement.
She stepped forward and pushed him away, and said solemnly: "Listen! I am the princess of my country! I have heard in the past that some black-hearted scholars specialize in the study of evil witchcraft! You say, what you did just now is not evil witchcraft?"
"That's just ordinary puppetry! I don't understand what kind of evil witchcraft you're talking about, but we're also forced to be helpless!"
"What are you forced to be helpless?" asked Han Lingxiao as he put on his clothes and turned his head puzzled.
Caitong suddenly lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, "I tell you, you are not allowed to tell others!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" said Mulan with a knife pointed at her again.
"Hey, calm down, listen to what she has to say. Han Lingxiao stood in front of Caitong.
"My father is the city lord of Xiling, our family originally lived in this mansion, not far from the city there is a long-abandoned cemetery, called the Tomb of the Heavenly King, which was originally the royal tomb of the Enma era a thousand years ago, but now it has long been robbed of the tomb of the ......" Caitong paused for a moment, and said: "A few months ago, suddenly a foreign thief came to the tomb of the Heavenly King, they took away many scholars from the city, and forced all citizens over the age of ten and under the age of seventy in Xiling to mine the tomb of the Heavenly King for them. Not only that, but they also searched the ancient books related to the tomb of the Heavenly King from house to house in Xiling City, and in order to avoid attracting attention, they asked us to spread rumors that Xiling was haunted, forced the people in the city to leave Xiling, and ordered that anyone who entered Xiling should be killed. ”
"Where are the scholars and people in that city now?" Han Lingxiao asked again.
"All the scholars were arrested, and the people who could escape basically fled, and only a few were arrested and lost news......"
"This is a little strange, the Tomb of the Heavenly King has indeed been abandoned for a long time, and it has long lost much value for research," Ling Lan pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Do you know what those thieves are looking for when they come to the Tomb of the Heavenly King?"
Caitong shook her head in frustration, she didn't care what those people were looking for, only that those hateful tomb robbers had taken her family......
Thinking of this, she looked at Wanlan angrily again, "You say you are a princess, but you can tell me why the royal family doesn't care about our life and death, and sees those outsiders running rampant in the land of Jiguo but sits idly by?"
After hearing this, Caitong was speechless for a while, what Caitong said was not unreasonable, the army of Jiguo was vulnerable, even if his father sent him to Yuguo to ask for a military alliance, he was also treated coldly, returned in vain, and ended up in such an embarrassed appearance......
Wan Lan looked at her and clenched her fists, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, but now, please go back to the palace with us first, explain the situation to my father, I believe there will be a way to solve it." ”
Caitong didn't speak, she couldn't tell whether the people of the royal family were still trustworthy......
"There is only one way to do it now," Han Lingxiao also comforted, "No matter what, we must explain the situation to the king, and then make a decision." ”
Caitong hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
***************
Yuguo, Linglan City.
Xia Yuqian looked at this bustling city, this time she came back in a completely different mood from the last time, she didn't know what making this choice would mean for her in the future, but at least she seized the opportunity and tried her best to fight, it was much better than sitting still.
Accompanied by her father Xia and the red fox, the registration time for the ring competition is about to close, and only the capitals of various countries have registration points, after Xia's father entered the city, he inquired about the registration place, and others looked at him with surprised eyes, as if he had drunk too much. Finally, I found out the exact address at a tavern shopkeeper, but I was surprised to learn that the registration deadline was today!
The father and daughter were anxious to feel the place of registration, Xia Yuqian raised her head, and was surprised to find that it was Han Fu! She thought that her father had inquired wrong, but her father insisted that it was definitely here!
Xia Yuqian sighed and thought to herself: If he meets Han Lingxiao, what should he do if the other party asks him? If he knew that something like this happened in his family, he would definitely help him without saying a word...... But she didn't want that outcome, she didn't want to live with the help and charity of others all the time.
Just thinking about it, she didn't know when she had walked to the gate, she looked up and saw the guard guarding the door last time, and asked him how to sign up, the guard looked at this little girl who looked quite aura and seemed to be familiar, and said with some embarrassment: "The Fengyun Pavilion Ring Competition does not accept separate registration, you must take the recommendation letter of the clan to represent your own clan, and the clan you represent must be ranked on the general list of Fengyun Pavilion." ”
"The overall list?"
"It's one of the three major rankings of Fengyun Pavilion, similar to the martial arts list, but there are only twenty places on the total list. ”
It's only twenty...... Xia Yuqian's heart suddenly became cold, thinking that she had nothing to do with those big forces, and she just wanted to participate in the competition with her enthusiasm, but she didn't know that even the registration had such high requirements, and she didn't expect that it would be so difficult for powerless people to want a foothold in this Xuan Realm.
"Xiaoqian, let's go home......" Father Xia Xu saw her thoughts and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
"May I ask if Young Master Han Lingxiao is here?" Xia Yuqian gritted her teeth and asked hard, she couldn't just go back empty-handed, in that case, how could she face the villagers and elders who were desperate to bet the hopes of the whole village on her!
"I'm sorry, Young Master Ling Xiao left a few weeks ago, and he should be in Tianhuang City now. ”
This news was undoubtedly a lightning strike for her, and even the last person she could rely on was gone, she couldn't recover Tianhuang City to borrow money, not to mention that when she left, Mo Xian had already given her several times more than the labor pay, and this was instructed by Han Shaokun......
"Young Master!" At this time, the guards on both sides suddenly saluted in unison.
Xia Yuqian thought for a moment that Han Lingxiao was back, and turned her head in surprise, only to find that it was a stranger she had never seen before......
"Hmm. Han Yifeng got off the horse, and the Ao Si behind him also came down, and a few family members ran out of the house to lead the horse, and when Han Yifeng entered the door, he swept Xia Yuqian's father and daughter, but he didn't care too much, there were too many people to eat this year.
Xia Yuqian saw the other party walking straight in front of her, and at that moment she seemed to see the glimmer of light that was about to go out, and she didn't know where she got the courage, so she suddenly asked loudly: "Excuse me, how can I participate in the ring match?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone around was shocked, Han Yifeng was also stunned for a moment, stopped, turned to look at the ragged, ordinary little girl in front of him, and looked at Aosi behind him to confirm that he had indeed heard something just now and was not hallucinating.
"I want to be in the ring!"
