Chapter Ninety-Four: Stalling for Time

"Get out of the way!"

"Believe it or not, blow your head off!"

The pilgrims who rushed to the front were directly driven aside by the guards of the noblewomen, causing the people around the back to snicker. The ladies who often came to the incense glanced at the resentment on the faces of the pilgrims who came from other places, and a sneer appeared on their faces.

"Ma'am, please."

A man in brocade bowed to several noble ladies standing at the foot of the stone steps. Behind him were more than a dozen guards from the Shangguan Mansion and the rest of the guards from the Minister's Mansion. The square in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall has been cleared, and those ordinary people have to stand obediently behind these noble ladies.

"Madam Shangguan, are you here again?" A fragrant noblewoman, with thin eyes and willow eyebrows, came to the square in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall surrounded by several maids. She glanced back at the noblewoman of the Shangguan Mansion.

The Shangguan Mansion blocked the news that Shangguan Jun was seriously injured, so the major families in Dragon City did not know about it. Although Shangguan Junqian had good things on weekdays, he rarely interacted with the nobles in Dragon City, and although he was less talked about in various mansions, he did not attract everyone's attention.

"Oh, Madame White." Mrs. Shangguan looked up and saw Mrs. Bai Jing, one of the four lords of Luofu, greeting her. She came down to the top of the stone steps with the support of her sister, and the Shangguan family had always had dealings with various valves, and Mrs. Shangguan had met Madame Bai several times in private gatherings.

Above the minister's mansion, Zhang Jiuji looked at King Yong embarrassedly, and sneered, "His Royal Highness King Yongwang actually has the leisure to care about his little nephew, which really flatters his little nephew." ”

King Yong originally wanted to use Zhang Jiuji's mouth to lure out Yun Ruowu, but he didn't expect the other party to be so unreasonable. He only coughed lightly, and then said, "Nine Machines Virtuous Nephew, if you are unfamiliar with Dragon City, you can always ask your uncle for advice. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Yong." Zhang Jiuji got up and arched his hand, a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, and replied, "I don't know who His Royal Highness King Yong is referring to..."

"Since some of your friends have been in the past few days, could it be that there are other people?" King Yong's right hand was tightly grasped on the armrest of the wooden chair, although he was very anxious, but his face still did not show the slightest abnormality.

"It's just a few friends who have known each other recently, and there is no one else. I hope that His Royal Highness King Yong will not worry too much. Zhang Jiuji thought that the person he had befriended had attracted the attention of the imperial dynasty, and he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Yun Ruowu and Jian Shenyue, so he did not say it clearly at the hall meeting.

Of course, what happened in Dragon City naturally couldn't escape King Yong's ears and eyes, no matter how Zhang Jiuji tried to cover it up, he could only do it without saying it clearly at the meeting of the Ministry of Officials.

Zhang Jiuji had no intention of conforming at all, no matter how King Yong guided him, he never mentioned Yun Ruowu and others. "If the nephew of the Nine Machines is in need, he can come to his uncle at any time."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Zhang Jiuji leaned over slightly, and thanked him again.

"Since everyone has no objection to this list, let's do it." A smile appeared in the corner of King Yong's eyes, and after glancing at everyone in the hall, he hurried out of the hall of the ministry.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, slow down." Before King Yong walked out of the lobby, he was stopped by Du Pingye.

Although King Yong already knew that Yun Ruowu and the others were out of Dragon City, in order to prevent him from sending people to intercept him, Du Pingye had to delay as much as possible.

"What else is Elder Du?"

King Yong turned his head, his eyes stared coldly at Du Pingye, the great elder of the Vientiane tribe who was sitting on the wooden chair, although he had important arrangements at this time, but because of the identity of the other party, he had to stop.

At the same time, King Yong waved his hand to the soldiers outside the palace and motioned for the other party to come over. Before the soldier could walk up to the wooden corridor outside the palace, Du Pingye quickly stepped forward to King Yong's side, not giving him a chance to pass on the message at all.

"It turned out to be Brother Du, I don't know what else is going on with you?" King Yong couldn't wait to eat Du Pingye alive at this moment, although he didn't know how much Du Pingye knew about the affairs of Yuntianzong, but he sabotaged his plan three times and twice at the other party, and secretly saved Yun Ruowu.

Du Pingye's face was kind, he quickly stood between King Yong and the personal soldier, and chuckled, "This list is related to the matter of Yuntian Sect, His Royal Highness King Yong has no opinion?" ”

"What can I say?" King Yong's mind couldn't care about this list at the moment, if he let Yun Ruowu pass through Jinding Mountain and go to the eastern realm, he would have no possibility of controlling it at all. He tried his best to restrain his impatience and laughed, "Elders, the deacons have no objections, and I will follow everyone's opinions." ”

"That being the case. For the time being, please ask His Royal Highness King Yong to return to the banquet first, the old man still has something unclear about, and he wants to ask His Highness. Du Pingye didn't reserve half a chance for King Yong to breathe at all, he directly hugged King Yong and walked quickly to the main seat, giving outsiders the appearance that the two were very close.

"Elder Du..."King Yong tried to push Du Pingye away, but because the elders and deacons of all clans were present, he had to smile awkwardly, and the two of them returned to the banquet again.

After Du Pingye pushed King Yong back to his seat, he went straight to the middle of the hall, arched his hand to everyone, and said loudly, "The people on this list are all elite talents of our eight tribes. ”

"Exactly, exactly." The elders and deacons of all the clans in the hall nodded one after another. Although everyone didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Du Pingye's gourd, everyone still wanted to hear what he wanted to do because of his courage to stop King Yong back directly.

"Brother Du, you might as well make it clear if you have anything, everyone is not an outsider." King Yong couldn't bear it a little and urged.

Hearing that King Yong was called "old brother", Du Pingye was really a little surprised. But he was still pacing slowly in the hall, and after everyone calmed down, he said slowly, "These people are all elites in the clan, but if they are still slightly inferior to Yuntian Sect, you will not have any objections, right?" ”

"That's true" Even if everyone present was reluctant, they still had to be afraid.

Xie Baichuan slapped the wooden table on his side, spilled the tea on the table, and said angrily, "Elder Du is right, if those thieves attack again, I'm afraid our Eight Clan disciples will not be spared." ”

Everyone present thought that Xie Baichuan was going to take the opportunity to be angry, but they didn't expect that it was actually for Du Pingye of the Vientiane tribe, and even Du Pingye himself, who was standing in the middle of the lobby, was unexpected.

"Elder Du, what do you mean?" Zhang Jiuji, who was leaning on the wooden chair, sat up straight, after all, this matter involved the safety of all ethnic groups going to Tianyun Mountain this time, even if the two ethnic groups had disputes in the past, but at this time, they had to abandon their previous suspicions and get through the difficulties together.

Du Pingye turned around and slowly walked to his seat, his gaze never leaving Liu Xingyun behind Zhang Jiu's fuselage. His purpose at the moment was to delay time and buy more time for Yun Ruowu and them to travel.

But it is impossible to drag King Yong by singing a one-man show here, so he targeted the mortal enemy of the Vientiane tribe, Liu Xingyun, the elder of the Shenlong tribe.
