Chapter 166
Two days later, Chen Jiayan, who hid outside the city and waited for news, An Yuqian was speechless.
"Zhu Zhongwu never returned, who did he meet? Could it be that Li Yuanfang is by Di Renjie's side? Chen Jiayan said.
The news of Li Yuanfang's promotion to the seventh grade innate spread all over Luoyang, if he really wanted him to be by Di Renjie's side, Zhu Zhongwu was not enough for someone to eat.
"Anyway, Zhu Zhongwu is of little use, without him, we can also find Li Zhen, the king of Yue." An Yuqian said coldly.
Even without Zhu Zhongwu's help, the two of them could still arrest the people in the pharmacy for questioning, and it was not a problem to ask for news.
"Langshan County is so big, if Zhu Zhongwu didn't send someone to help, just the two of us went to find it?" Chen Jiayan said.
"It is unlikely that King Yue is in the county seat, the county seat of Langshan is small and the houses are crude, how can the personality of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and the saint Zhou Xuan'er stay here." An Yuqian analyzed.
The two of them are from noble backgrounds, and the things they enjoy strive to be luxurious, which will look like the dilapidated county seat of Langshan County.
"You mean they're hiding outside the city?" Chen Jiayan asked happily.
"There is a mountain in the southwest of Langshan County, called Langling Mountain, the scenery is beautiful, why don't we go and see it." An Yuqian said.
There is nothing to be done in the county town, and those villages outside the city have not found the movement of King Yue after the search of officers and soldiers, so it is more likely that King Yue may be hiding in the mountains.
"That's all there is to it!" Chen Jiayan said.
The two of them were quite jealous of Li Yuanfang, and they didn't dare to make any changes, so as not to provoke the fire. Li Yuanfang has a significant reputation in the Demon Gate, is jealous and hateful, and has killed many disciples of the Demon Gate.
"Zhu Zhongwu was ordered by the Demon Gate to send troops to search for the whereabouts of King Yue, and King Yue is likely to be hiding in Langshan County." Li Rong returned to the hall, and after seeing Di Renjie discussing the matter, he discussed the matter with Di Renjie.
"King Yue is in Langshan County?" Di Renjie pondered for a long time, "The county seat, it shouldn't be, there is a Langling Mountain in the southwest of Langshan County, and there is a great possibility that King Yue is there." ”
Li Rong thought about it for a while, and he also agreed.
Ancient and modern times are different, and the accommodation conditions are not good. A royal family like Li Zhen, the king of Yue, who was born noble and had never suffered, was very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Along the way, Langshan County obviously did not meet his requirements. Only if the natural scenery in the mountains is good, will it be a little more enduring.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to Langling Mountain to look for it," Li Rong said, "Maybe I'll meet someone from the Demon Sect." ”
Di Renjie could guess the traces of King Yue, and the people from the Demon Gate might also do it, not to mention that they originally had Zhu Zhongwu to help.
"Don't worry, you stay in the city first, and it's not too late to go after dealing with the men and horses of the Weiyong Battalion. To be honest, a Yue king is insignificant compared to the people of Manxian County, even if he is a first-class master. Di Renjie said.
"Okay," Li Rong replied.
Finding Li Zhen is also for Li Zhen's martial arts to destroy the mountain, compared to Di Renjie's orders, the latter is undoubtedly more important.
Zhu Zhongwu had already surrendered, and Li Rong suppressed it on the spot with peerless force, Di Renjie arranged manpower and spent a lot of effort to subdue the remaining soldiers of the Weiyong Battalion, and publicly killed dozens of the most heinous people in the city, so that the morale of the army and the people temporarily calmed down.
Taking advantage of all the things, there was no one in the morning, Li Rong left the city alone and went straight to Langling Mountain.
Walking on the desolate and uninhabited official road, Li Rong showed his skills, and it only took two quarters of an hour to travel thirty miles.
Langling Mountain is not high, but it is also a group of peaks to stand, the mountains are verdant, the trees are dense, and there are many pines and cypresses that hug each other thickly.
The flowing water in the mountains is dingdong, the spring water does not stop, seeps out from the stone cracks, slowly converges into a stream, and then gathers into a small lake, the lake water is transparent and blue, reflects the peaks and peaks, the environment is elegant, although it is not a famous mountain and a big river, there is a different scenery.
The name of Langling Mountain has been in ancient times, as early as the Han Dynasty, it was famous for the sweetness of the mountain spring for a while, and the Marquis of Langling in the Jin Dynasty He Qi opened the valley for alchemy, played the classics, entertained himself with the piano book, and became a generation of masters.
The mountains are not very wide, but they also cover an area of several tens of square kilometers, and it is not easy to find one or two people among the peaks.
Li Rong slowly stopped, walked slowly on the mountain path, and walked along the stream formed by the spring.
Langling Mountain is famous for its spring water, and the wine brewed from mountain springs is well-known in Yuzhou. Many large families in Langshan County regularly go to the mountains to get water and go back to make wine. When Li Rong came, he carefully asked the hunters who were familiar with Langling Mountain, and asked them to draw a simple map to mark the location of each spring and famous peak.
There are many people who come to the mountains to fetch water, and the uninhabited place is driven out of a small road that only allows wheelbarrows to pass, and it has become the main road into the mountain. In recent months, Zhu Zhongwu's soldiers have harassed the people, and those who came to fetch water had no intention of coming again, so that no one entered the mountain.
"They're coming!" Li Rong looked at the microscopic eyes and saw the traces left on the path. The person who left the footprints should be a master, and the slightest carelessness will ignore the past.
No matter how powerful a master is, it is impossible to step on the snow without a trace, and there will always be more or less traces. The footprints on the road, the broken branches and blades of grass on the side of the road are like lights in the night to those who are proficient in the art of tracking, guiding them to find their targets.
Li Rong learned the art of tracking from the old housekeeper Ge Bao, and later obtained the method of observing the microscopic eye, and the tracking technique became more exquisite.
Chen Jiayan and An Yuqian wandered around the mountains for two or three days, but found nothing, except for the beautiful scenery in the mountains, these could not replace the anxiety in their hearts.
"I've seen the South Springs and the North Springs, and I'll go to the Middle Springs today to take a look, if I can't find them again, I can only give up." An Yuqian said a little tiredly.
"Hopefully this time it won't be in vain." Chen Jiayan said helplessly.
Li Rongwei followed the traces left by Chen Jiayan and An Yuqian, stopped and stopped, gradually quickened his pace, and walked towards the depths of the mountain.
Li Zhen and Zhou Xuan'er are hiding in Xiaogu, only the two of them are there at present, and Li Gui has left the valley with the letter.
Li Zhen, whose face was still pale, looked at the bloody remnant sun that fell to the west, and sighed when she thought of the future of the royal family that could not see hope.
"Don't I Li Tang have a hundred years of luck? How unfair is the way of heaven? Li Zhen sighed, "Hey, someone is here." ”
Li Zhen, who had temporarily lost most of her skills, was still sensitive and felt that a master was coming into the valley.
Zhou Xuan'er also jumped out of the wooden house, stood beside Li Zhen, and looked vigilantly in the direction of Taniguchi.
"People from the Heavenly Demon Sect," Zhou Xuan'er was slightly less injured, familiar with the various sects of the Demon Sect, and recognized the identities of Chen Jiayan and An Yuqian.
"King Yue, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Witch Sect, Chen Jiayan of the Heavenly Demon Sect, An Yuqian has seen two seniors." Chen Jiayan and the two stopped leisurely three feet in front of King Yue and laughed loudly.
"Demon cub, the ghost is not gone, and the nose is quite sensitive." Li Zhen said, "But just because of you two six-grade juniors, you want to kill us." ”
"If King Yue hadn't punched the middle master and the holy maiden hadn't been injured, I would naturally not dare to stand in front of my seniors," An Yuqian said with a smile, "But how much strength do you two have left?" ”
Originally, An Yuqian was worried that the Yue Wang couple would recover their strength, but today, when she saw that the two of them were in good spirits, her confidence increased a lot.
"The young man is not ashamed, although I can't kill the two of you, it's more than enough to bring one of them to accompany the funeral," Zhou Xuan'er said, "Li Rong, since you are here, watch from the side, why don't you meet at the next scene." ”
Zhou Xuan'er suddenly raised her voice at the cliff on the south side of the valley mouth.
After all, Zhou Xuan'er is a seventh-grade grandmaster, and she is not as badly injured as Li Zhen, she felt Li Rong's breath for the first time and recognized Li Rong's identity.
"I've seen the imperial uncle, the saintess, and Yuqian, I haven't seen you for many days." Li Rong got up, jumped a few times, stepped on the stone and went down the valley, and came to everyone.
"Yuan Ming," An Yuqian couldn't help but snort softly when she saw Li Rong, and a look of embarrassment appeared between her eyebrows.
On that day, Li Rong and Pengxian Pavilion Sanyan had a close relationship, they had similar interests with each other, and they rarely took into account each other's identities. It is likely that both sides will take a hostile position.
"You are Li Rong, Li Han's son?" Chen Jiayan said to Li Rong with a strong sense of vinegar.
Li Rong's appearance attracted everyone's attention, and even his companion An Yuqian didn't think about it, thinking that there was something else hidden, how could Chen Jiayan not be jealous.
"Chen Jiayan? Proud disciple of Junchen, right? For Yu Qian's sake, let you go today, hurry up and get out of me! Li Rong said unceremoniously.
Li Rong is not interested in the Li royal family, and he hates Chen Jiayan and other people in the demon sect, and the cool officials of the government are even more disgusted.
"You!" Chen Jiayan was furious, pulled out his long sword, and was about to rush forward, but was firmly grasped by An Yuqian.
"Yuan Ming, King Yue is a key offender appointed by Her Majesty the Holy Mother God Emperor, don't make a mistake about yourself." An Yuqian grabbed Chen Jiayan and said to Li Rong.
"Yu Qian, your vision is not very good, and your mind is not as pure as before," Li Rong said without explanation.
The search for a partner in the Demon Gate is often limited to the same door, Chen Jiayan and An Yuqian are in the same realm, and the teachers of the two sides intentionally matched, so they came together. Li Rong knew a lot of inside information about the Demon Gate from Yuan Xingchong, so he knew that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.
"I will report this matter to the sect master, Yuan Ming will ask for more blessings!" An Yuqian's face turned cold and said, and she turned around and left Xiaogu with Chen Jiayan.
