Chapter 85 Fair Trade
Su Jue said, "Let's go to other places to see." “
The three of them looked at a few more houses, all of which were the same as before, furnished but not in sight.
"Listen, is there a harp over there? “
Su Jue and Yue Qianlong went to the place pointed by Luo Yinhuan, and sure enough, there was a slight piano sound, Yue Qianlong suddenly frowned, this song sounded familiar to her. This tune...... By the way, she had heard it in Zuzhou, and it was this song that led them to identify the direction of entering the hinterland of Zuzhou, could it be that this time it was also showing them the way? But before they could take a few steps, the three of them fainted on the ground.
Chitaki and the others have been gone for several days, and they don't know how it's going. Mu Yanzhen was lying on the bed, he had been lying for a long time, and his whole body was sore. I heard that Yu Tong was promoted to the commander of the Silver Qiwei, and August was also transferred from Yuhui Palace to Daning Palace, thinking that Xiao Qiyu had sent a newcomer to Mu Yanxue's side.
"August, how is the queen doing?"
"The queen mother lives in the Yuhui Palace and is favored by thousands of people, which is naturally extremely good. “
Mu Yan really didn't dare to think about what kind of expression that person looked at the canonization ceremony, the current Mu Yanxue is just a manifestation of Xiao Qiyu's supreme imperial power, she is like a vase or a golden crown, if she appears next to Xiao Qiyu, it will only convince and even fear the ministers.
"How is Your Majesty treating her?"
"Your Majesty is very good to the mother, and he gives all the food and clothing, and he never neglects the mother because of the shepherd's family. “
"Really?" Mu Yanzhen looked out the window and said, "Your Majesty does you often go to Yuhui Palace?"
"I haven't been there since the canonization ceremony was completed, and the slave maid thought, Your Majesty's government affairs are complicated, and she shouldn't go more. “
It's better not to go, and it's better if you don't go for the rest of your life, so that everyone is at peace.
"What about Zixi and Feiyan?"
"They are in the outer sanctuary. “
"August, can you call them over?"
The palace people retreated after answering, Mu Yanzhen looked at the back and finally breathed a sigh of relief, now that Yu Tong is no longer in Daning Palace, he believes in the two cultivators of Taihua Mountain more than the attendants in this palace.
Ruan Feiyan was still holding two big snowballs in her hands when she came in, and there was snow on her head and body, and her little face was frozen red, which looked extremely cute.
After entering the hall, she threw herself on the side of the bed and said, "Senior Brother Zixi is building a big snowman outside, you can see it when you open the window later, Ah Zhen, you touch this first." “
"Me?"
"You've been sick and can't go out, it's a waste of such a beautiful snow scene, and my senior brother said that you people in the Northern Regions like snow the most, so I want you to feel such a heavy snow while lying in bed. “
Mu Yanzhen listened and covered his five fingers on this snowball, and a slight chill surged up, which made his whole person a lot refreshed, and even the chaos in his brain was reduced a lot after a spirit.
"Fei Yan, will you stay in the palace forever?"
"We'll leave when you're cured, and I'll go to my master, brother, and sister. “
Master, junior brother, junior sister? She was talking about Qi Yan, Yue Qianlong, and Su Jue. Xiao Qiyu has told him about the affairs in their door, these three people are now Taihua's rebels, I am afraid that Zixi and Ruan Feiyan are going to take them back to Taihua Mountain.
Therefore, Mu Yanzhen asked tentatively: "Then, where are they? Are they in the palace?"
"I don't know where they are, and if we had a clue, we wouldn't be staying in Mirage City to waste our days. “
"Don't you have any news?"
"No, no, I don't know what news the other senior brothers have, I haven't heard any news from Senior Brother Zixi. “
Mu Yanzhen was relieved at this time, Ruan Feiyan was simple-minded, and what he said must be the truth. He was worried that these two people stayed in the palace to deal with Su Jue and Qianlong, but now he didn't have that concern. But he never believed that Su Jue and Qianlong would be traitors who betrayed their master. It is precisely because of this that Mu Yanzhen asked Xiao Qiyu to place two false positions for them in the palace, since Xiao Qiyu gave them the position of Yifu, it means that he is willing to maintain these two people in the future. Mu Yanzhen regarded them as confidants and friends, and for his friends, all he could do was to try his best to protect them.
His head hurts so much, and when Chitaki wakes up, he finds that he has been tied with sea vines, and the more he struggles, the tighter the vines are tied.
"Ah Jue, Yin Huan?" the other two were also tied up, and she quickly asked, "How are you doing?"
"Nope. “
Su Jue also shook his head.
"What is this place?"
Su Jue glanced around and said, "It should still be in the Dragon Silk Palace." “
"Yes, how did you mortals get here?" followed the voice from outside the door, she was dressed in a few light dragon silks, her clothes were decorated with precious shark beads and sea gems, this woman looked to be in her early thirties, in addition to her delicate appearance, she had a different charm in her gestures. At the moment, her hair is dark blue, but her eyes are different from ordinary people's emerald green, is she a merman? But since she is a merman, why don't you see the fishtail but the legs?
Yue Qianlong asked rhetorically, "Who are you?"
"The Lord of the Dragon Silk Palace. “
"So, you are the king of the mermaid race?"
"Sort of," the woman sat down in front of the three of them, and continued to ask, "You have water-avoiding beads on your body, is it related to the descendants of the Wu clan of Zhonghuang Mountain?"
"The mountain keeper of Zhonghuang Mountain is my friend, and she knows that I am coming to the Dragon Silk Palace, so she gave us the map of the Dragon Silk Palace and the only three water-repellent beads. “
"Then why did you come to the Dragon Silk Palace?"
Why? They can't say it's asking for the merman's Neidan.
So, Yue Qianlong turned to say: "Legend has it that the merman is a powerful god, and there are many precious elixirs in this Dragon Silk Palace, and it just so happens that one of our friends is sick, and we are here to ask for medicine." “
"Asking for medicine?" the woman smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm willing to give this medicine, but it's a pity that you're late." “
"Late?"
"Now that my merman clan is unable to protect itself, how can I give any elixir?"
"What's going on?
The woman sighed: "We were originally dependent on the ancestral state to survive, but more than a year ago, the ancestral state divine land inexplicably sank, and since then, the merman clan has withered and decayed in the Dragon Silk Palace, and now most of the clansmen in the city have died." “
"Zuzhou?" Yue Qianlong showed a trace of guilt on his face, at that time, they listened to Xiao Ling'er's destruction of the body wood in order to take the moon spirit grass, and it was precisely because of the lack of sacrifice wood that Zuzhou would sink to the bottom of the sea. But at that time, she thought that Zuzhou was a dead land, who would have thought that there was a dragon silk palace under the water that depended on its existence?
"If it weren't for the Qiongcao in Zuzhou, my merman clan would have been gone a long time ago. “
"What happened to the corpses on the shore?"
"They all swam ashore on their own initiative, and today's mermaids are no longer the mermaids of a thousand years ago, and once they come ashore, they will die of internal exhaustion in a short time. “
That's right, no wonder the mermaids suddenly interrupted their tribute to the Northern Regions thousands of years ago. But Luo Yinhuan didn't understand, the merman clan was no different from ordinary people after coming ashore before, why did they die immediately as soon as they came ashore now?
"What the hell happened to the Shark Clan?"
"This is the point of today's business," the woman walked up to Luo Yinhuan, who was asking, touched his clothes, and said, "This is something that only nobles in the Northern Regions can wear, and you have a lot to do with the Northern Regions clan, right?"
"This son is the great uncle of the Northern Regions, and he is one of the Nine Qings. “
"Heh, it's a high-ranking official who looks pleasing to the eye, okay, then I'll leave you behind. “
"I don't like you. “
The woman pinched Luo Yinhuan's white face, "Don't you want to save people, as long as you can save my merman clan, I can help you save people." “
"How can I save it?"
"Help me find something. “
"What?"
"The Seagod Scepter handed down by the Hairuo clan before. “
Hairuo clan, by the way, Luo Yinhuan said that the mermaids are the descendants of the ancient Hairuo clan.
After the woman finished speaking, she took out a picture from her bosom, "This is what the scepter looks like, and it is because of it that we sharks cannot go ashore." “
"The world is so big, how do we know where to find such a small pole?"
"Chenguo, but Jade City. “
It's the Jade City again? Yue Qianlong and Luo Yinhuan glanced at each other, where is the Sun Worship Altar, and now the Seagod Scepter of the Shark Race is also there? Yue Qianlong faintly felt that this matter was related to the Heavenly Blazing Kingdom that was destroyed thousands of years ago.
"Where is Jade City?"
"Where Zhao Shuheng, the former minister of the poor country, is buried, where the Seagod Scepter is. “
This matter is related to Zhao Shuheng Yue Qianlong secretly glanced at Su Jue beside him, and sure enough, the person's expression was calm, and he looked completely unaware. Zhao Shuheng is this person's previous life, and thousands of years ago, he did not hesitate to use hundreds of thousands of people in the Heavenly Blazing Kingdom as sacrifices to open the Five Spirits Blood Array, could it be that in addition to the Tianbla Kingdom, he also did a lot of unspeakable things?
Yue Qianlong replied: "So, do you want us to find Zhao Shuheng's mausoleum by ourselves?"
"Is it possible?"
"Okay, we can promise you, but didn't you just say that you can't protect yourself and there is no elixir? Even if we help you, how can you help us save people?"
The woman closed her eyes when she heard this, and the three of them suddenly felt a sudden change in the airflow around them, and there seemed to be a breath of clear spirit swimming in the meridians around them. But after a while, they saw something spit out of the woman's mouth, this thing was dazzling and warm, and just a few glances made Yue Qianlong and the others look obsessed. The woman sucked it into her mouth again and said, "This is my spirit seed, although it can't bring people back to life, but it is more than enough to save a seriously injured or tired person, and the day when the Seagod Scepter returns to the Dragon Silk Palace is the time when you get this spirit seed." “
Su Jue agreed with Yue Qianlong's glance, but Luo Yinhuan's expression was a little hesitant.
"Your Excellency Queen, you just said that you want to keep me, do you mean that I will be a hostage in the Dragon Silk Palace?"
"Of course, what if you all go and never come back? “
"What we promised will naturally be done, even if we can't do it, we will come back to Longxuan Palace again, Ah Jue and I are by no means villains who escaped from the battle. “
"I don't understand what you humans are thinking in their heads, but this Seagod Staff was stolen by you humans, and I hurt the Shark Manchus because of a wrong belief, and I will never be stupid for the second time!"
"You said Zhao Shuheng stole your scepter?"
The woman glanced at Yue Qianlong, "This is my personal vendetta, so if you really find the mausoleum, please bring back Zhao Shuheng's bones together, no matter how many are left." “
