Chapter 716: Xue Lan's identity is exposed
The room can be regarded as elegant, after all, no matter how the Xiang family falls, it is not even without this money, but the old man lying on the bed surprised Qin Yan.
Judging from the length of his laying, the old man should have been tall and burly when he was young, but now although the skeleton is still very large, the appearance is really a bit unsightly, and at a glance, Qin Yan can't help but think of the ancestor of the Yun family, Yun Tianya, who he saw in the Forest Plains Palace.
Thin!
Although it is not as exaggerated as Yun Tianya's thinness, it is also the kind of skin and bones.
His skin was dull and lacklustre, his face was full of wrinkles and age spots, his hair was dry white, and his eyes were cloudy and lackluster.
Is this the Xiang Long, the ancestor of the Xiang family, who was said to be the first master of the Tianqi Country by Hongye?
At this moment, he can't see the majesty of the past at all, and the heroic twilight is the best portrayal, I'm afraid that a martial arts level martial artist can easily kill him!
When the old man saw Qin Yan at a glance, he first shook his head, and then said in a weak voice: "Hongye, this little friend is your friend?" ”
"It's not."
Momiji ran over in three steps and two steps, barely squeezing out a smile: "I met him this time in the Flood Wilderness, to be exact, I am a companion with him - I have decided to join his team." ”
The old man was obviously a little excited, and with his hand full of old age spots, he kept patting Momiji's hand: "It's Grandpa I'm sorry for you...... My Xiang family is now reduced to the point where you let a girl show her face, those things that don't make it, I really want to slaughter them all! ”
He personally created a top wealthy family, but the whole family did not want to forge ahead, and to this day he still does not know how to reflect, you can imagine how angry he is in his heart.
"After so many years, my Xiang family finally came up with you, a competitive child, who is diligent enough and talented, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that grandpa can't protect you, can't provide you with favorable conditions, alas......"
"Grandpa, didn't you go up step by step back then? Isn't it the same without someone to protect you? Momiji hurriedly comforted.
"It's different...... You're a female doll, don't do anything stupid in the future. ”
The old man's face was full of sadness, and he sighed: "Grandpa's current body has to be a high-grade treasure to prolong his life." High-grade treasures are rare, and they have to have the function of prolonging life, even when I was in a high position, I couldn't find it for a while, let alone ...... Red leaves, you are the only remaining hope of my Xiang family, if something happens to your family, my Xiang family will be completely hopeless, for the sake of the Xiang family, you have to take care, how can you take risks for a dying person like me? It's not worth it! ”
The hero is in the twilight, and the beauty is white.
This is the saddest thing in the world, the county king who dominated the world back then has now become like this.
Listening to him chattering like an ordinary old man, Qin Yan was in a heavy mood, and then said: "Red leaves, don't talk about these homely things, I'll help my seniors take a look first, right?" ”
"Little friend, this is ......" Xiang Long couldn't help but be stunned.
"Grandpa, his name is Feng Ling, when he encounters danger in the wilderness, if he hadn't rescued me, I wouldn't have seen you."
Momiji didn't want the old man to worry, and had a relaxed smile on his face: "Grandpa, Feng Ling is not only a superb cultivator, but also extremely proficient in the way of medicine. In addition, we have found a 10,000-year-old snow ginseng this time, your problem is not a problem at all, and our Xiang family is expected to rise! ”
"10,000-year-old snow ginseng...... Ye'er, you actually found 10,000-year-old snow ginseng? The old man's emotions became noticeably agitated.
"10,000-year-old snow ginseng is far from enough." Qin Yan said suddenly.
"What?!" Momiji was stunned.
"Although I haven't diagnosed my senior yet, I can confirm through observation that my senior is in a very bad physical condition. If I'm not mistaken, it's been a long time since my predecessor last extended his life, right? ”
"That's right."
The old man thought for a while, nodded and said: "The last time his life was extended was twelve years ago, and the old man had a hunch that it would be more than a year or half a year, and the old man's longevity would be over." ”
Hearing him say this, Qin Yan said in a deep voice: "If it was twelve years ago, the predecessors took 10,000-year-old snow ginseng, and they would definitely be able to regain their vigor and prolong their life for at least ten years." But now, the predecessors have run out of oil, even if you take 10,000-year-old snow ginseng, at most you will recover to the level of ten years ago...... Ten years ago, the longevity of the predecessors had already begun to decline, so if you want to recover to its heyday, it is not enough to have only 10,000 years of snow ginseng. ”
"Ahh So what to do? How can this be ......" Momiji exclaimed, his face pale.
"I'll take a look before I speak."
Qin Yan didn't say anything more and walked straight to the bed, reaching out to put his hand on the old man's wrist.
After a while, he took out the silver needle and stabbed it at several acupuncture points on the old man's hands, feet, chest and abdomen, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"How?" Momiji asked hurriedly.
"If I can find the herbs I need, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"What herbs do you need?"
"Not now, anyway."
Qin Yan got up from the edge of the bed he was sitting on before, and said helplessly: "It's pointless to say anything now, we must exchange the medicinal materials we got this time for the medicinal materials we need as soon as possible...... Don't worry, although the seniors are weak, there will be no problems in a short time, and there should be a central market in Ying'an City, right? ”
Almost all cities have markets where various treasures are traded, and with the scale of Ying'an City, Continuation of Life Fang must have opened a branch here.
However, Qin Yan didn't plan to exchange everything with the Life Continuation Workshop, after all, there were too many gains this time, and he might not be coveted by You Qingkong's old fox.
Anyway, there is more than one exchange for medicinal materials, and it is a big deal to run a few more to scatter the exchange, so that it will not attract the attention of those who are interested.
"I'll take you now!" Momiji hurriedly said.
"Let's go."
After the two said goodbye to Xiang Long, they went straight to the front yard to prepare to go to the central market.
Liu Ying and Xue Lan also rushed to hear the sound, and just as the four of them were about to leave, the front gate of the house was suddenly kicked open, and then a large group of people walked in.
Seeing these people, Momiji's face couldn't help but change greatly.
There were more than twenty people who came, and the leader was a man who looked to be in his thirties and forties, and he looked very extraordinary by his dress.
Qin Yan only knew one of these people, that is, when he first came to Xiang's house, he called himself his brother with Hongye, the guy with oily hair and noodles.
Really!
As Momiji said, after the family fell like this, this bastard not only did not want to make progress, but also teamed up with Huangfu Yuxing to eat inside and out.
The man at the head is needless to say that it is the city lord of Ying'an City, Huangfu Yuxing.
"Brother Huangfu, my sister ......" Xiang Hongsheng smiled flatteringly.
"You are ......"
Before he finished speaking, Huangfu Yuxing's gaze suddenly fell on Xue Lan, and the arrogance on his face disappeared: "You are Miss Xue Lan?" ”
"It's me, what advice?" Xue Lan's face was calm.
You must know that Xue Lan's suitors are all over the three major empires of the Immortal Martial Realm, among which there are countless kings and grandsons. With his level of Huangfu Yuxing, any suitor caught by him has a deeper background than him, and from the fact that the second prince didn't dare to be too tough on her, he could think of how influential Xue Lan was.
Because the scale of Ying'an City is not small, Xue Lan once came here to perform, but she was still surrounded by a large group of kings and nobles, so Huangfu Yuxing recognized it at a glance.
Good boy!
When did this eldest lady come to Ying'an City? Why don't you know the way?
Huangfu Yuxing had forgotten the true purpose of coming here, and now he was only thinking about how to tie up with Xue Lan, so he walked over with a smile on his face: "Miss Xue Lan is here, and I am not welcome, please forgive me...... That's right! Are you coming alone? If there's anything you need to go down, just ask......"
Seeing this scene, Qin Yan's heart was not only not relieved, but full of worry.
On the surface, Xue Lan's identity was known by the other party, and this Huangfu Yuxing definitely didn't dare to mess around, which can be regarded as helping the Xiang family to break the siege.
Actually?
It is conceivable that after the second prince returns to the imperial capital, he will definitely find a way to deal with himself, and to deal with himself, he must first find himself. The Purple Light Holy Order is certainly famous in Tianhuo City, but it is also limited to Tianhuo City, and the place where they came out of the Flood Desolate Forest Plain is already far away from the Heavenly Fire City, so the second prince will definitely use the direction where they left the Flood Desolate Forest Plain as the origin point to find him, and Ying'an City is naturally one of them.
In order not to startle the snake, the people of the second prince only dare to visit secretly and do not dare to investigate, so the difficulty of finding will be greatly increased, as long as they do not make any noise, even if the people of the second prince come to Ying'an City, it is not so easy to find their own, but now the situation is different.
Xue Lan's identity was exposed, and she was known by the city lord of Ying'an City.
When the people sent by the second prince arrive in Ying'an City, they will definitely contact the local consul as soon as possible, as long as Huangfu Yuxing mentions Xue Lan, he doesn't even need to look for it in the future!
But...... What else can I do now? Kill Huangfu Yuxing?
No way!
If Huangfu Yuxing is killed now, the thousands of troops in the huge Ying'an City will have to tear a few of them to pieces!
The only thing that can be done now is to look forward to the two princes returning to the imperial city, and then send people to find people, and this process will drag on a little longer.
"You say...... What should I say? Xue Lan turned her head and looked at Qin Yan with strange eyes.
Not good!
Qin Yan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, just now he only thought that Xue Lan's identity was exposed, which would likely lead to the acceleration of the search process for the second prince, but he ignored another problem: to a certain extent, Xue Lan was equivalent to being placed under house arrest or held hostage by him, if Xue Lan and Huangfu Yuxing were told the truth now and tried to get out of their control, they didn't have to wait for the people sent by the second prince to come over, and it would immediately lead to a fight.
His strength is certainly very strong, but with the scale of Ying'an City, the defenders of this city have tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!
Well, with his current strength, if he wants to run, an army of 100,000 can't stop him, but what about Liu Ying? What about autumn leaves? Why are there so many mouths up and down the Xiang family?
Can these people run away?
"What do you think you should say?"
Qin Yan's fingertips flicked quickly, he was ready to draw the knife, as long as Xue Lan called for help, he would attack her as soon as possible, and take her as a hostage to deter Huangfu Yuxing.
"Who is this?"
Huangfu Yuxing couldn't figure out the relationship between Xue Lan and Qin Yan, didn't he know that when he asked this sentence, Qin Yan's spirit was even more nervous, and he had even begun to condense his true qi, silently thinking in his heart about the angle, target, etc., but he didn't expect Xue Lan's next words to be unexpected by him......
