Chapter 271: The Green Mountains Are Faint, and the Flowing Water is Flowing (1)
Danfeng stretched his neck and wings, and the red gold feathers of his first wing were dazzling, and he fluttered his huge wings with a rebellious expression.
Chun Yuyan stopped Mu Chen, who was walking forward, and then bowed down and saluted again, "Your Majesty, this matter should be left to the minister!" ”
An urgent secret report sent by officials in Zizhou said that he had recently been ordered to investigate the area under his jurisdiction, and found that strangers had recently moved in in a small town of Terran under his jurisdiction. Because the official in charge received the imperial order from the imperial court, he did not dare to be sloppy, so he selected a master of fine work and a merchant who pretended to be a merchant to go to spy on the rivers and lakes, and the report confirmed that the other party's words and deeds were all in the style of the North Continent.
As soon as Chun Yuyan returned to Lingxiao City from Jiuqiu, he learned the news and immediately prepared to go south again to investigate the matter.
Who knew that Mu Chen also ordered to go down, planning to find Yuxiu's whereabouts in person.
Chun Yuyan thought of his physical condition, worried, and admonished: "The identities of those people are still uncertain at the moment, so it is better for the ministers to find out first, and then ask Your Majesty for instructions." ”
Mu Chen motioned for him to straighten up, "No need, what should be checked has been checked very clearly." Yu'er was taken captive for many days, and she could no longer afford the delay. After speaking, he continued to walk forward.
Chun Yuyan understood that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only make a final effort, "If Your Majesty decides to travel, then please take the imperial public opinion instead." Danfeng Yuan Shen is powerful, and it is very difficult to control......"
However, before he finished speaking, Mu Chenren had already jumped onto his mount.
In the morning sun, the slender and upright figure is like the legend on the battlefield in the past, the white clouds come out of Xiu, fluttering in the wind, but the sudden movement finally leads to a rapid cough, so that he has to curl up his neck and try his best to calm his breath.
Chun Yuyan saw everything in his eyes, and the emotions in his heart surged, but there was no way to persuade him.
He still didn't dare to convey the words that Qing Ling said in Zhangyao City completely and truthfully, but he wasn't sure if Mu Chen had learned about it through other channels.
The two of them, one of them was extremely resolute, and the more fragile the body, the less likely it was to do something that he prayed for.
And Yuxiu is the only link in the world that can bind these two people at the same time.
As long as the child is found, maybe ......
There is hope.
Mu Chen, escorted by more than a dozen elite of the forbidden army, drove Danfeng to Zizhou quickly.
Although it was hard to control the mount, but fortunately, the speed was extremely fast, and in less than half a day, the group had arrived in the town pointed out by the secret report.
The local officials who were waiting here had already controlled the house where the Lieyang people were hiding, and all the nearby residents had moved out.
Seeing the emperor coming, all the officials were stunned, trembling and kneeling down to salute, among them, the military generals who were responsible for the ambush were even more nervous, and said to Mu Chen: "As soon as the last general received the order, he sent people to surround and control this mansion!" Can...... The day came down, and the inside ...... It was like there was no movement. ”
Mu Chen's face was not shocked, and he motioned for the man to get up, and then ordered: "Break the door." ”
He had already prepared in his heart, and understood that the people of Lieyang would not be able to stay where they were and wait to be killed. The second prince of Liyang Kingdom seems to be casual and uninhibited, but he is really an extremely intelligent character, and he is resourceful and courageous, just being able to understand Shiyin's deep thoughts and use her affection for Qingling's mother and son to find the right time to persuade him, it is enough to prove that this person should not be underestimated.
The military general hurriedly dispatched manpower, laid down three layers of defense inside and three layers outside the perimeter, and sent another team of heavily armored soldiers to lie in front of the main gate, and after an order, Thunder broke in!
The sergeant in charge of the defense also poured into the house, and the clanging sound of the blades and armor colliding as they ran quickly penetrated every corner of the house.
However, the result of the return made the magistrates secretly sweat.
"Report! No one was found in the West Courtyard! ”
"There is no East Courtyard either!"
Mu Chen, under the escort of the forbidden army, strode into the house. Xun, who came with him, knew His Majesty's thoughts best, and immediately rushed into the inner courtyard with several capable subordinates, and after a while, he hurried back with a piece of cloth in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I found this thing hidden in the corner of the main house."
Sun knelt down on one knee and presented the object in his hand high.
Mu Chen took the narrow white brocade that was obviously torn off by someone, and several wisps of complex emotions intertwined in his heart, and he was a little distracted for a while.
The child he once wanted to strangle in his mother's womb, I don't know when, has long been an inseparable part of his life.
The once soft and chubby baby, the babbling child, and now this smart and handsome little boy have always been him, holding the child's hand and teaching him to walk, speak, and practice martial arts. The pair of black and white eyes that resemble his mother have been learning to observe the world and understand people's hearts little by little through themselves.
The child's every word, deed, and action was poured into his hard work, his imprint, and his expectations. That kind of inseparable emotion was once sustenance, but also inheritance, and it is also a real father's love!
It's not flesh and bones, but it's better than flesh and bones......
Mu Chen grabbed the brocade into the palm of his hand, held it tightly, and commanded his entourage in a deep voice: "Take Jin Zhan here." ”
The guards unsealed Jin Zhan and presented it to Mu Chen.
This Jin Zhanzi was originally an artifact belonging to the Fang Shan clan, and later after the Fang Shan clan was wiped out, it was included in the palace, once the fresh breath of the person who was tracked and the blood of his relatives in the heart, Jin Zhan could correctly indicate the direction until he found the target he was tracking.
Mu Chen sealed the brocade left by Yuxiu into Jin Zhan, and took out a small glass bottle from his arms.
Inside the bottle, it contained the blood of Qing Ling that he had secretly saved many years ago.
That time, he used her heart's blood and the Western Continent Phantom Wood to make a puppet that was enough to mess with reality. The scene performed at night in the garden of the Leaf Palace, it should have hurt Baili Fuyao fiercely, right?
But it's just a play after all......
The corners of Mu Chen's lips pulled out a faint bitter arc, and his slender fingers opened the glass bottle, sealing Qing Ling's heart blood into Jin Zhan.
Jin Zhan slowly rose into the air, swirling and stretching in the wind.
The tail of the flying flag is pointed to the west impartially.
~~
Luo Yao hugged Yuxiu, jumped off his mount, and overlooked the windy city near the sea from a high place.
The Yansui River is like a silver chain, passing through the city and flowing into the vast West Sea. Outside the castle tower to the west, countless huge sea ships are moored, and there are small boats that come and go. On the embankment of the port, there are many shops and stalls, and the people are full of people, bustling, showing prosperity.
A fresh breeze blew on the shore, mixed with a salty and wet smell that should have been familiar but completely unfamiliar, and raised a strand of long hair hanging down from Luo Yao's forehead.
He was silent for a moment, put Yuxiu on the ground, and took his little hand, "Let's go." ”
Yuxiu had hardly been to places other than the palace, and when she looked at Pingfeng City at this moment, she couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment, and when she woke up, she immediately pulled out her hand and distanced herself from Luo Yao, "I'll go myself!" ”
Luo Yao looked down at the child's stubborn and cold expression, and felt only slightly sour in his heart.
Before coming to Daze, he had already dismissed his subordinates, and only walked alone with Yuxiu, leaving his mount at this time, and only the two of them were left, one after the other, walking silently.
When I arrived at the Yansui River, pedestrians began to appear around. Looking ahead, the tall Yansui Gate built across the river in the east of the Wind City also began to become clear.
A hundred years ago, Baili Fuyao, the son of Daze, was here and married Emperor Ji Qingling of Chaoyan with the most noble etiquette of Daze. On that day, the colorful boats were all over the river, singing happily, and the red roses floating in the water and the waterside blue bells reflected each other, like a splendid splendid splendor. The Yansui Gate, which had been closed for hundreds of years, was reopened for the first time to welcome the new hostess of the Baili clan......
Luo Yao subconsciously slowed down his pace and looked up at the tightly closed city gate in the distance.
For him, those stories are just fragments of the chatter of people in the tea shop and wine shop, without real colors and real feelings. He couldn't know what kind of mood the couple who walked hand in hand to open the city gate back then......
Is there more expectation and joy, or is there more sorrow and helplessness?
Yuxiu pulled off Luo Yao's robe in disgust, "Why don't you leave?" Aren't you in a hurry to find my mother? ”
Luo Yao came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, "The scenery here is so good, I suddenly lost my mind." ”
Yuxiu said secretly with disdain in her heart: It's best that you have been distracted and in a daze all the way, and when you get to the water, this son may have a chance to take your life directly and avenge the humiliation.
Luo Yao stopped a passer-by and inquired about the direction of Fuyu Shuize.
The aunt who was stopped was dressed as a fisherwoman, and after hearing Luo Yao's question clearly, she pointed in one direction, and then looked up at him with a tanned face, "You are a foreigner, what are you doing in Fuyu Shuize?" ”
Daze is far away from the Eastern Continent Central Plains, and its customs are very different. Before Luo Yao came, he only heard that Fuyu Shuize was located in Daze, adjacent to Pingfeng City, and he didn't know anything about its customs and allusions. ”
At this time, Yuxiu suddenly stretched out her hand, and for the first time, took the initiative to hold Luo Yao.
"Let's go!"
As he spoke, he half-pulled and half-dragged Luo Yao and walked in the direction guided by the fisherwoman.
Luo Yao felt the small soft hand of the child in his palm, and suddenly grabbed him tightly, and a soft place in his heart was suddenly touched, as if a gentleness that he had never experienced in his life broke out of his shell, and in an instant, it invaded all his thoughts.
He let the child pull him forward, and it wasn't until a long time later that he spoke: "The aunt just now showed us the way, and you left without saying a word of thanks, isn't it a little too rude?" ”
Yuxiu said disapprerovingly: "She talks to us, and she is not very polite, why should I be polite to her?" ”
Luo Yao said: "It's not that she's not polite, but she seems to think it's a little strange for outsiders to go to Fuyu Shuize." ”
Yu Xiu was afraid that Luo Yao would continue to delve into this issue, so she hurriedly answered: "It's just a lake with many islands, what's so strange about outsiders going to enjoy the scenery?" That aunt questioned you like this, maybe she was just thinking that the outsiders had no boats to sail, and she was going to take the opportunity to persuade you to hire her boat! ”
When Luo Yao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "You kid, why do you think so darkly about people's hearts?" ”
Yuxiu pursed her lips, "Originally." ”
After a pause, he raised his little face, and there was a touch of pride in his tone, "Your Majesty told me when I was a child that there is no relationship in this world that is not maintained by interests. Those who are close to me and love me are likely to turn their backs on me and betray me in the next moment, let alone just a stranger? Trust is never something that can be easily delivered! ”
