409. 404: The ancient city of Ylan
Nangong Heng appeared in the glass hall uneasily, he is now like an ant on a hot pot with no owner, just after the morning today, someone came to report to him, saying that Wang Zhi had entered the palace and was waiting for him.
"What's wrong?" Tang Li looked at Nangong Heng's distraction and asked.
"Wang Zhi is here today." Nangong Heng looked at everyone with puzzled eyes and said, "Do any of you know about Yilan Ancient City?" ”
The ancient city of Yilan? The other people looked at each other, what kind of city is this?
Tang Li shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, what's wrong?" What does this have to do with Wang Zhi? ”
Could it be that the ancient city of Yilan is a certain city in the Cangxing Kingdom, and the Qinglan Kingdom wants the Cangxing Kingdom to contribute this city? Tang Li thought to himself that he was worth a city, and the princess was really worthless.
"Wang Zhi said that if he can't hand over the princess, he will use the ancient city of Yilan as a quid pro quo, and only half of it will do, and he will not be greedy." Nangong Heng said Wang Zhi's original words, not only did he not know what the ancient city of Yilan was, but he didn't even know Shuofeng, who had followed Nangong Ze for so long, and the two of them later checked the territorial division of Cangxing Country and all the cities for a long time, and there was still no ancient city called Yilan.
But Qinglan Kingdom has endured so hard until now, presumably Yilan Ancient City is not a simple city, it will naturally have its value, but Nangong Heng can't find such a place at all, if it's just a city, it's a big deal to cede it.
"The Ancient City of Yilan?" Bai Yuzhu's eyes changed, and he said loudly.
"Well, you know what?" Nangong Heng asked.
"I don't know, but I know that there is such a place, and I don't know where it is." Bai Yuzhu replied, he frowned slightly, is there really a store in the ancient city of Yilan? The Black Moon Pavilion has some information about the ancient city of Yilan, but the previous pavilion masters will not explore these materials, and they will not allow others to find the ancient city of Yilan, so everyone should not touch it as a taboo.
It turns out that there really is such a place, but how could Nangong Heng never know about it? And no one in the palace seemed to know that there was such a place in Cangxing Kingdom, so he asked suspiciously, "Why can't you find this place?" Wang Zhi's condition is to exchange it for the ancient city of Yilan, I don't even know where it is, how can I exchange it? ”
"It's not a simple city, you can discuss it when Baili Wuyang comes back." Bai Yuzhu said in his words, the value of the ancient city of Yilan is even greater than the value of Cangxing Kingdom, how can it be so lightly handed over?
Baili Wuyang disappeared early in the morning, everyone is used to his current work and rest time, go out in the morning, come back at noon for lunch, and then accompany Tang Li, and after Tang Li takes a nap, he will go out again, and come back before dinner, as for what he is doing, everyone doesn't care much, Baili Wuyang is very measured, don't worry about what will happen to him.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and when everyone was in deep thought, Baili Wuyang came back.
"You came back just in time," Tang Li asked anxiously as soon as he saw Baili Wuyang, "What kind of city is the ancient city of Yilan?" ”
When he heard these four words of Yilan Ancient City, Baili Wuyang's face stiffened a lot, but because he had always had a strange face, he couldn't see any emotion, so everyone didn't notice it much, and he picked a place to sit down: "What do you mean?" ”
"Wang Zhi has been here today, and Qinglan Kingdom means that if you can't hand over the princess, you will exchange it for the ancient city of Yilan." Nangong Heng explained this matter again.
It seems that the purpose of Qinglan Kingdom is similar to what Baili Wuyang expected, and finally revealed his true colors, it was probably a conspiracy for them to let Tang Li come and kiss from the beginning, Tang Li's significance to the ancient city of Yilan is very important, it is impossible for Qinglan Kingdom to really not want Tang Li, but at the beginning, he pretended to care about nothing, let Tang Li disappear, and then used this opportunity to force Nangong Heng to sacrifice the ancient city of Yilan.
A pack of wolves and tigers.
"Tell them there's no ancient city of Ylang." Baili Wuyang said expressionlessly.
At this time, even Bai Yuzhu was stunned, the ancient city of Yilan should be preserved, Baili Wuyang may know better than him, why do you say no? Moreover, Wang Zhidu has already clearly put forward the conditions, and if he says no, he is afraid that it will cause the anger of Qinglan Kingdom, and if it causes war, it will cause chaos......
"This-" Nangong Heng also hesitated, no matter what the ancient city of Yilan was, if it was handed over to Qinglan Kingdom, it could be exchanged for Tang Li's tranquility, wasn't it worth it?
"Will this make Qing Languo think that we are deliberately causing conflicts? Since they have all brought it up, they must already know that this place exists. Tang Li expressed Nangong Heng's worries, now Nangong Heng is the lord of a country, if he chooses to lead the people to suffer because of his mistakes, then he will not become a generation of faint monarchs in history?
Baili Wuyang stared at Tang Li's eyes, her eyes were focused and intense, she saw that Tang Li was a little embarrassed in the end, she looked away and closed her mouth, Baili Wuyang's decision was generally not wrong, Tang Li just didn't understand why he did this.
There was nothing to gain during this time, Baili Wuyang looked at Tang Li's embarrassed little face, and sighed slightly in his heart, now once he agrees to the conditions of Qinglan Kingdom, then the next danger is Tang Li, because to open the ancient city of Yilan, it takes Tang Li's life, Baili Wuyang can't let Tang Li have an accident, he is now trying to find a way to prevent the people of Cangxing Country from suffering and make Tang Li safe, but after consulting so much information, he found nothing.
If he really can't find a way to do both, Baili Wuyang can only be a sinner, he will do everything to stop Qinglan Guo's plan, no matter what the price is, he must not hurt Tang Li, and he himself will give up his original plan, no longer thinking about curing his weird appearance, now his mind is on Tang Li, in fact, many times he doesn't care about that anymore.
Since Baili Wuyang said that he would reject Qinglan Kingdom's conditions, Nangong Heng couldn't find any other way, he didn't know where the ancient city of Yilan was, and he couldn't decide to agree without permission, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take it out if he agreed?
After Nangong Heng left, everyone dispersed, and Baili Wuyang said that there was no Yilan Ancient City, and the discussion could not lead to any results.
"Won't it be difficult for Nangong Heng to do this?" Tang Li sat there and didn't move, Nangong Heng's temperament she knew, it was too gentle, it was already very difficult for him to make him the emperor, and now he had to let him come forward to compete with Qinglan Kingdom, his psychological pressure was not small, Tang Li was a little worried that he would not be able to stand it.
"If he can't even face this little thing, then what will the people of Cangxing Country do in the future?" Baili Wuyang didn't care, Nangong Jue didn't know where he had gone now, and Bai Yuzhu couldn't sue them, so Nangong Heng might have to sit on this throne all the time.
Tang Li naturally knew this, but she felt that Nangong Heng had not been in power for long, wouldn't it be even more chaotic if he was crushed like this? Seeing that Nangong Heng's face is not very good recently, I heard that there is a natural disaster in the north, and some courtiers in the court who were originally dissatisfied with him took this opportunity to admonish him every day, asking him to go to the north to worship the sky in person, which is obviously to embarrass him! It's okay to sacrifice to the heavens in the capital, but that group of people have to ask him to go to the north, isn't this embarrassing him?
This matter can only be discussed after Qing Languo expresses his position, Baili Wuyang then left the Liuli Hall again, this time he didn't eat the lunch that was connected, Tang Li also wanted to go with him to see what he was doing, but Baili Wuyang stopped her after finding out.
"I will never bother you!" Tang Li swore again and again that she was really curious.
"You go back to dinner." Baili Wuyang said slightly helplessly, he just went to check some information, besides, Baili Wuyang didn't want Tang Li to know about the matter of Yilan Ancient City, so as not to put pressure on her heart.
If Baili Wuyang didn't agree, Tang Li basically didn't have much chance to follow, she rolled her eyes and looked at Baili Wuyang for a while, before leaving.
Can sneaky not arouse suspicion? Tang Li thought on the road while going back, she tried her best to transfer her thoughts to Nangong Jue, but she was ruthlessly rejected just when she wanted to take the first step, and her heart was not ordinary.
But now Tang Li is more concerned about what the ancient city of Yilan is, Bai Yuzhu clearly said that there is such a place, but Baili Wuyang denied it, I don't know why, Tang Li is more inclined to Bai Yuzhu's answer, I always feel that Baili Wuyang has something to hide from herself, it's not that Tang Li believes it, but she is a little uneasy, she is so depressed during this time, she doesn't pay much attention to what everyone is doing, but she has become the most unclear person about the current matter.
So Tang Li found Bai Yuzhu again, Bai Yuzhu originally felt guilty about Tang Li, although Tang Li didn't blame him, so Bai Yuzhu told Tang Li in as much detail as possible about the ancient city of Yilan.
“………… You're saying it's not a city, it's a treasure worth more than a city? Tang Li was stunned after hearing this, the ancient city of Yilan is a treasure that the monarchs of all countries in the world are eyeing over, but few people know where it is, and some of the people's information about the ancient city of Yilan has been scattered, and it is impossible to find it at all.
"It can be said that it is not more valuable than a city, but more valuable than a country, and no one knows how much wealth and secrets are inside, and the temptation is extremely great." Bai Yuzhu continued to explain: "But these are not the point, it is said that whoever can get the ancient city of Yilan will get the whole world, think about it, there is a chance to annex other countries, is this temptation big enough?" ”
Tang Li wiped his sweat, such an awesome legend, if it is true, the temptation must be big enough, Qinglan Guo's plan Tang Li can probably be sorted out, that is, she sang a play, and then found a reasonable reason to divide half of Yilan Ancient City, what an ambitious group of scum!
From beginning to end, Tang Li was a pawn in this greedy conspiracy, and now it has been used to the end? Tang Li thought of the indifferent father, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, no matter how indifferent the feelings were, they were father and daughter.
