Chapter 452: Shu Palace
Meng Qianqiu didn't give Long Jiaojiao a chance to say no, after the order was completed, she just performed light skills and disappeared from vision in an instant.
In the jungle, Long Jiaojiao slowly climbed up with the blood stains on the corner of her mouth.
She looked in the direction in which the former had disappeared, and her hatred grew even stronger.
Kicking at the big tree next to her, Long Jiaojiao said angrily: "I haven't seen you for five years, and the first time we met, I was ordered to do things." ”
"In your eyes, in your eyes, I am the instrument to use."
"Damn, hateful, hateful."
As she spoke, she kicked the tree with her foot.
Under the fierce kick with true qi, the big tree was directly kicked off by her.
The huge tree fell slowly, directly breaking the roots of the tree and falling to the ground.
Even the earth was shaken.
But even so, Long Jiaojiao's anger still hasn't subsided.
At this moment, the man in black who had been standing next to him walked out.
He looked at the broken tree, and then said indifferently: "Miss, Madame's order is related to the situation in Shu Kingdom, so please be sure to complete this task." ”
A small subordinate, except for the young lady and the word please, the tone of speech is the tone of command.
Long Jiaojiao looked over.
She didn't think much about it, and slapped it directly at the other party with a real anger.
But the strength of the man in black was obviously higher than hers, and before her slap touched the former, her whole person retreated lightly.
The man in black said indifferently again; "Miss, it is impossible to win against me with your sixth-rank strength alone."
"I'll be staying in the tavern in the east of the city these days, and if the young lady gets the silver needle, or if there's any news, she can come and tell me, and my subordinates will retire."
The man in black was also like Meng Qianqiu, and between the real air turns, he disappeared from view in an instant.
Seeing that this little subordinate was so rude to herself, Long Jiaojiao stomped her feet fiercely, but after stomping her feet, her breath stabilized again.
"If you treat me like this, why should I treat you sincerely?"
"If you want the silver needle, find it yourself."
Long Jiaojiao said, just sit on the spot and recover from the injuries on her body.
After tearing some skirts and bandaging the external injuries on her body, she used her true qi to recover from her internal injuries.
Although Meng Qianqiu had a spare hand, for Long Jiaojiao, who was only of the sixth rank, even a light blow was enough to make her seriously injured.
It wasn't until ten o'clock at dusk that she slowly stood up and walked towards Shudu.
......
On Truman's side.
The situation was urgent, and they came to the gate of the Shu King's Palace at great speed.
But at this time, the gate was tightly closed, and at the same time, there were nearly twice as many troops in front of the gate as usual.
At the corner of the house, Hua Yao looked at this scene and said, "It seems that they have already entered." ”
"How do you get in?"
Truman said: "I can't go in." ”
Hua Yao's puzzled taste: "Why?" ”
Trumen smiled and said: "With Shu Mountain guarding, apart from the four great masters, who else can enter this palace without knowing it?" ”
"Obviously, they are not afraid of something suddenly happening, or just to prevent us."
"There are so many soldiers at the door, and there are those masters of Shushan inside, why can't they get in even if they use all their means."
"The purpose of our coming to Shushan has been detected by them."
"Well, just wait here, and when they come out, you will know what is going on inside."
"Hmm."
Hua Yao nodded, because when she used her true qi to investigate the palace, she really detected the existence of a powerful person.
In the palace at this time, Ji Anlan and Li Lianyi were standing in the main hall.
In order to meet the King of Shu, Ji Anlan has already returned to a woman's dress, and Li Lianyi is still dressed as yesterday.
On the throne above the main hall, the king of Shu is sitting on it.
The king of Shu is old, he is not confused when he is old, his hair is gray, and he is seriously ill.
At this time, he was sitting on the dragon chair, his hands hanging down on both sides of the chair, trembling slightly, and his gray eyes looked at Ji Anlan and the others in a daze.
There was saliva at the corner of his mouth, as if he was stupid.
And next to the King of Shu, there are two people standing on the left and right, and one person on the left, Ji Anlan and Li Lianyi, both know each other, it is Du Ba who came with them yesterday.
Du Ba's gaze paused slightly on Ji Anlan's body, and his eyes naturally showed a little surprise.
After not glancing at them, he looked away, as if he didn't know them.
And to the right of the King of Shu is an old man.
Although he looks much older than the King of Shu, his spirit is much fuller than that of the King of Shu.
Ji Anlan approached and bowed respectfully.
"Jin Guo Ji Anlan has seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu."
The King of Shu watched quietly, and his mouth was also closed one by one.
But there was no sound coming out of this combination.
Thinking that it was because of the small voice, Ji Anlan couldn't help but walk into the two points, and asked suspiciously: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, what did you say?" ”
The mouth of the King of Shu opened and closed even wider, and with the saliva, there was finally a voice coming out,
"Good, good, good......"
He just kept saying one word.
Ji Anlan couldn't help but look at Du Ba, hoping to get his help, but Du Ba still stood in place without words.
At this time, the old man from the right side of the King of Shu spoke.
He said lightly: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you have already seen the current appearance of the King of Shu." ”
"Originally, His Royal Highness the King of Shu should have been recuperating in the harem, but after all, you are Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, so you will come to see you even if you are injured."
Ji Anlan asked, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the King of Shu what kind of illness he had?" ”
The old man said: "A little illness, don't worry about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
"Since our king can't talk to His Highness about things, I'm afraid Your Highness will have to run for nothing today."
"Well, it's better for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to go back first, and when the king recovers from his illness, he will come and inform His Highness at that time."
Ji Anlan smiled slightly and said, "No need, since the King of Shu can't talk due to illness, can you please ask the old gentleman to take me to meet the queen." ”
"When I was born, the queen not only came to Kyoto to see me, but also brought me many gifts, and I have not thanked her for nearly 20 years."
Hearing that Ji Anlan was going to meet the queen, the old man's face suddenly hesitated.
He didn't speak for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ji Anlan asked with some concern, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the queen is also sick? ”
The old man shook his head and said, "That's not true, I'll send someone to bring Her Royal Highness the eldest princess down to see Niangniang." ”
Ji Anlan said with a smile: "This is not necessary, although I have not been to the Shu Palace, but after all, it is built according to the Kyoto Imperial Palace, so I am familiar with it, so I don't bother the old man." ”
The old man was stunned, and then he also smiled, "Since this is the case, then let this Du Ba accompany you, he has never been to the Shu Palace, and he has always wanted the king to take him around, but he has never had a chance, and now that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is down, it can let the king rest a little." ”
Ji Anlan said suspiciously: "I don't know this Du Ba, is it?" ”
The old man paused and explained, "Oh, eldest princess, Du Ba is a distant relative of the king. ”
"Distant relatives?"
Ji Anlan smiled faintly and said, "This distant relative is also bold, and he dares to let the king of Shu take him around." ”
"This ......"
The old man hesitated.
He hurriedly smiled and said: "This distant relative, you have to distinguish it, if the king likes it, then even if it is far away, it is ......"
Ji Anlan interrupted him with a smile and said, "Well, that's right, then ask this Mr. Du Ba to follow me." ”
Du Ba was stunned, when he came to Shudu with the former, he revealed his identity.
Now that the other party is saying the same thing, you don't have to guess to know that the other party is lying.
But Du Ba didn't dare to remind that as the eighth elder of Shushan, he knew the severity of Shushan.
If the former knew that he was so slack in the process of completing the task, he would not have to shed a layer of skin.
The three of them quickly walked out of the main hall and walked towards the side hall of the queen's mother.
Ji Anlan is right, the royal capital of Shu is indeed built according to the imperial palace of the Great Jin Dynasty.
But this has been a matter of fifty years, and in the past fifty years, under the changes of the successive Shu kings, this king has already been very different from before.
But she said she knew the palace was not lying.
Before deciding to come to this Shu Palace, she already knew the map of this palace by heart.
It can be said that with her eyes closed, she can walk through this palace.
On the way, Ji Anlan smiled lightly, and she asked: "I didn't see that Eighth Brother Du is still a distant relative of the King of Shu, but I still want to ask Eighth Brother Du if he prefers to be the eighth elder of Shu Mountain compared to the distant relative of the King of Shu." ”
Du Ba paused, and then said with a dry smile: "We all meet different people with different faces, so Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't have to tease Du Ba." ”
Ji Anlan denied: "It's not a joke, I also want to make sure, are you really a distant relative of the King of Shu?" ”
Du Ba nodded and said, "The third elder is right, I am indeed a relative of the King of Shu. ”
"But this relative has already faded into an ordinary person."
Ji Anlan's voice gradually became cold at this time, and she asked: "Even if he weakens into an ordinary person, the King of Shu should be your relative, I don't know why Your Excellency would let him be framed like this?" ”
Du Ba was obviously stunned by Ji Anlan's words.
He quickly denied it: "Not really. ”
"King Shu, he was not framed."
Ji Anlan smiled and said, "Not framed? ”
"Is Your Excellency really a ninth-rank? Can't even see such an obvious frame-up? ”
"There is a medicine in the rivers and lakes, its name is snake heart, as a person in the rivers and lakes, you don't know what the consequences of taking this medicine are."
"Think about it carefully, is the condition of the King of Shu and the condition of taking this medicine average?"
Listening to Ji Anlan's words, Du Ba also fell silent.
Although he has been practicing martial arts all year round, he also focuses on learning some of the more powerful medicines in the rivers and lakes.
And the effect of this snake heart, he has already read it in his heart.
However, even if Ji Anlan said this, his loyalty to Shushan still made him not believe that the former would do this.
But in his heart, there was a trace of doubt.
Ji Anlan didn't say anything more, and it was enough to leave a trace of doubt in her heart.
Ignoring Du Ba, she directly took Li Lianyi and walked in a certain direction.
And Du Ba followed after a pause.
......
In front of the Queen's Palace.
A richly dressed woman was already standing in front of her and waiting.
She looked anxiously and looked at the way with a hint of expectation.
She had already received the news that Ji Anlan was coming, so she was waiting here.
Soon, on the road, Ji Anlan's figure appeared.
Seeing this figure, a touch of joy immediately appeared on her face behind her, but when she saw Ji Anlan followed by a Du Ba, her happy face immediately turned cold.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Anlan walked in front of the queen.
With a smile, the two exchanged pleasantries for a long time before walking towards the hall.
And at the moment of turning, the queen glanced behind her from the corner of her eye.
How did Ji Anlan not know why, she nodded vaguely, and then said to Du Ba behind her: "Eighth Brother Du, I will say some boudoir words to the queen next, do you really want to listen here?" ”
The reason why Du Ba was called by the three elders was naturally for a reason.
His purpose was to watch the two of them, so how could he leave at this time.
Seeing that the former had no momentum of leaving, Ji Anlan and the two of them didn't say much, but just walked into the hall calmly.
didn't close the door, just said some words that only women would talk about in front of Du Ba.
Listening to these words, a touch of red immediately appeared on Du Ba's face.
After hesitating in place for a long time, he no longer stayed here and quietly left.
At the moment when he left, Li Lianyi nodded at the two, "He's gone." ”
Hearing Li Lianyi say to leave, the queen of Shu actually knelt down directly towards Ji Anlan.
"Hongluan has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
Ji Anlan helped the queen up and said, "Hongluan is now the queen of Shu, so there is no need to be like this." ”
Looking at the movements of the two, Li Lianyi was also surprised.
The queen of this Shu country turned out to be a person from the Great Jin Dynasty.
This is a bit too bizarre.
Ji Anlan also understood the doubts in Li Lianyi's heart, and he replied with a smile: "Hongluan was originally a person from our Great Jin, in order to control the Shu Kingdom, my brother used means to make her the queen of the King of Shu." ”
"Now that so many years have passed, it can still play a role."
The queen shook her head and said, "Originally, the king of Shu was about to be under control, but Shushan's sudden attack made this plan come to naught.
The queen knelt down again and said apologetically, "Hongluan has disappointed Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. ”
