Chapter 108: Meet the Emperor Yanlie
The army went all the way south, and after half a day, they arrived at a small city, which, according to the map, was Mingcheng.
Mirage used his mental power to probe in advance, and it turned out that Mingcheng was peaceful and peaceful, and was not disturbed by the war at all. Presumably, the Locke family has adopted a policy of encirclement and has not yet reached here, or perhaps it is Zhongli's drunken army that has slowed down the speed of the Locke family's attack.
In short, this is a good thing for Mirage, there is no need to fight, and even if the Locke family has a remnant force, there will not be much to think of.
"Pass the order, there will be no fighting in the city ahead, and we will take the next city in a straight line."
"Yes." Zhong Li's guards answered the order and went.
There are still two days left before the agreement, and the army still has three cities to pass from the imperial capital Huoyan City, even if they don't meet the enemy in a hurry, they will definitely not be able to reach Huoyan City on the agreed day.
Mirage thought about it in his heart and decided to take a small group of people first. In fact, counting the Luo family horses encountered in a few big cities, there are almost 100,000 people, and the rest are just fish that have slipped through the net, and the team is definitely gone, so she doesn't have to worry about the safety of the soldiers.
"Dongfang, I'm going to go to Huoyan City in advance to see Yan Lie, and the soldiers can walk slowly behind, what are your plans?" Mirage asked Dongfang Bai directly not far from her.
"A few of us will also go to Huoyan City with you to see the world, and the clansmen will be with the army, and we can fight the enemy together when we encounter the enemy." Dongfang Bai didn't want to reply directly, a place with a mirage was interesting, so he didn't want to follow the army slowly.
"Okay, I'll take five hundred guards, and the rest will follow the army, and then join the other part of the army outside the Flame City." After Mirage finished speaking, he looked at the chief guard on the left, and without saying a word, the chief guard went down to make arrangements.
After a while, the number of people was distributed, and those who followed Mirage were all in the front, smart, flexible, sensible, and obedient to orders.
"Childe, the personnel have been arranged." The chief of the guard reported.
"What's your name?" Mirage touched her nose, she hadn't asked anyone's name for so long, didn't it seem too disrespectful to the other party? This problem will have to be corrected in the future.
"Subordinate Moon Shadow." Moon Shadow didn't have any dissatisfaction, and the young master's wife rarely contacted them directly, and now she asked, which showed that the young master's wife really regarded herself as Zhongli's family.
"Okay, you will follow me in the future, find someone to manage them in your place, and I am wronged that you want to accompany me here."
Mirage wanted to refuse to come at that time, letting these people follow her, she was afraid of delaying their cultivation, but seeing Zhong Li drunk and confessing, she didn't want him to think too much.
Now that these people are following her, she has to plan for them, at least on the same level as the cultivation progress of the people in the Biluo Continent.
"Yes, Gongzi Xie." Moon Shadow was very excited in his heart, he went from a chief guard who could only manage the guards to the personal guard of the young master's wife, and he followed the young master's wife in the future, this treatment is not something anyone can encounter.
What is the relationship between King Liwang and King Jing? Why is he so happy when the king's guard becomes King Jing's guard? Bai Yujin was getting more and more confused.
"Okay, let's go, full speed to Flame City."
Mirage used a snow falcon this time, dressed in red with a white snow falcon, which became the most beautiful scenery in the air.
The others took to follow, and in a few moments disappeared in front of the army. The army was still moving at the same pace, and although they were slow, they would not be slow to slow down.
The mirage led people to go straight to Huoyan City, but walked through the several cities that they were originally going to pass by, and flew to Huoyan City without finding anything abnormal.
The city walls are one meter wide and fifty meters high, and are all made of earthy yellow gold stone rocks, known as desert stones. Jinshiyan is characterized by good toughness, high density, strong buffering force, especially resistant to blows, and is definitely the first choice for building city walls.
From the outside, Huoyan City gives people a rough and heroic and informal feeling, which has a certain relationship with the geographical environment in which Huoyan City is located.
The characteristics of this country can be seen from the name of the imperial capital, the flames, the heat, the temperature is high, the city is like fire, and the people are as enthusiastic as fire.
This is the second time that Mirage has come to Fire Flame City, and the last time he came was to take the bounty task to protect Yan Yi, and he was on the task, and he didn't look at this city carefully.
This time, I found that there are different places with different beauties, all of which are worth seeing, but unfortunately I didn't have the time to watch the mirage this time.
The guards at the city gate have increased more than tenfold compared to the last time, and they are very carefully checked. Mirage arrives at a place similar to a VIP passage from his previous life, handing over a token symbolizing King Jing's identity.
The guard looked at it and returned the token to Mirage, "I don't know that King Jing is coming, I am not welcomed, please hurry up, the emperor has been waiting for you, the prince." ”
It seems that the guards have been ordered, and Mirage tells Moon Shadow to send one of the guards to find the army led by Ye Xuanmo, and the others follow Mirage into the city.
Follow the guards all the way into the palace unimpeded, as early as when Mirage entered the city, someone quickly passed the news into the palace, and Emperor Yanlie was waiting for Mirage on the top of the main hall.
The guards had already been stopped before they had gone far into the palace, and they didn't care about the mirage. Allowing so many strangers to enter the palace was already Yan Lie's face, but Yan Lie was afraid that his life would be in danger, so he didn't let her people get close to the main hall. 1234
Human nature is understandable.
Mirage only brought Bai Yujin and Moon Shadow with him, Dongfang Bai and the others were people from the hidden family, and of course they entered the palace to face the saint together.
As soon as the seven people of Mirage stepped into the main hall, Yan Lie stood up from the dragon chair to show his attention to several people, "King Jing and all the people from the hidden family, please take a seat, come here, and serve tea." ”
Yan Lie, the emperor of the Flowing Fire Empire, Yan Yi's father, Yan Yi looks five points similar to Yan Lie, Yan Lie's face is harder, the contours are more distinct, and it is a standard national character face.
Only the four of Mirage and Dongfang Bai sat down, Moon Shadow and Bai Yujin both stood behind Mirage, Mirage glanced at Bai Yujin curiously, this guy has changed sex? Willing to be a subordinate?
Bai Yujin's cold face turned to the side and ignored the mirage, which is this the consciousness of a subordinate, or is it arrogant?
Before he had time to think about it, he heard Yan Lie speak, "King Jing, didn't King Li come with you?" ”
"I have something to do with the king, this time the king is in charge, and the emperor should also receive news from all over the country.
This king can't guarantee that the Luo family will be wiped out 100%, but the remaining bit of the Luo family that is hidden no longer poses a threat to the empire, shouldn't we talk about what was agreed upon at the beginning? ”
"Of course, I have already drawn up the transfer agreement, come here, and submit it."
An old eunuch entered the main hall through the side door, holding a box in his hand and sending it to the table where Mirage was.
Bai Yujin just wanted to say something, but Moon Shadow shook her head, the young master's wife is an alchemist, and she already knows whether there is poison or not.
As for the mechanism, Yan Lie would not be stupid enough to assassinate the prince of the Flowing Water Empire in front of the hidden family, it was not just the price of his life, but the destruction of the country. Even if there is a mechanism, it is one thing to be able to hurt the young master's wife, and it is the moon shadow who is not worried at all.
Bai Yujin swallowed the words back into her mouth, and saw that Mirage opened the box unhurriedly, and the box did contain an agreement, and there was no problem with the agreement.
Only then did Mirage open the agreement and look at it, the content was the same as the original agreement, and the jade seal had been stamped on it. In other words, this agreement was in effect long before Mirage came, and Mirage could take it back to the Flowing Water Empire and hand it over to Shui Anguo.
"The emperor is refreshing, this king admires, he is worthy of Yanyi's father, and he did not disappoint this king." Mirage put away the box and arched his hand.
"Do you know Yi'er, do you know where Yi'er is? Is he okay? Yan Lie anxiously asked several questions in a row.
"He's in the Biluo Continent, his grandfather's house, it should be okay, it's better than being in the Flowing Fire Empire. If it hadn't been for the fact that this king had accepted his own bounty mission, I am afraid that he would have died long ago and was killed by his mother and brother. This king is very curious, when his mother died, where were you, the emperor? Mirage asked Yan Yi the doubts in his heart.
Yan Lie's somewhat reddened eyes stared at the mirage for a long time before he said: "I didn't know that Yi'er's mother had an accident at the beginning, I was about to reach the bottleneck of the Spirit Emperor's retreat, but I didn't expect to know that the Si people had passed away after I left the customs, and Yi'er's whereabouts were unknown. ”
"Thank you King Jing for telling me this, Yi'er is still alive, and I will be content to know this news. I'm afraid that I won't be able to go to Biluo Continent, so I can only cheekily ask King Jing to take more care of Yi'er in the future, telling him that he will always be my favorite son, and I will find out and punish those who hurt him one by one. An emperor can say this, which shows that he really loves Yan Yi deeply, and Mirage has a little more affection for Yan Lie.
"The emperor can rest assured, he will convey it when he sees King Yan Yiben, and I also wish the emperor an early recovery of the past prosperity of the Flowing Fire Empire. In addition, the emperor had better be twisted into a rope with the Frost Empire, otherwise he will be swallowed up by the Flowing Water Empire sooner or later, this is a piece of advice from this king to the emperor in Yanyi's face, farewell. ”
"Okay, thank you for King Jing's reminder, take care."
Yan Lie had a businesslike and grateful expression when facing Mirage, but as soon as Mirage and the others left, Yan Lie's face fell, and he summoned the secret guards to investigate the death of Yan Yi's mother and Yan Yi's hunting and killing a few years ago.
He has checked the things back then, but there are no clues, it seems that it was artificially erased, and now that he knows that Yi'er is still alive, he, as a father, will seek justice for him, and then erase it will leave some clues, and it is really impossible to find out that torture is the last resort.
can firmly sit in the position of the emperor, and no emperor is an idle person.
Mirage and the others left the palace with the guards, and they didn't rush to meet Ye Xuanmo, and took people to the Galaxy Auction Hall to take a look.
At this time, it was not dusk, there were many pedestrians on the road, and they were not flustered as usual.
There are so many people coming in the direction of the auction house, and the little guy at the door of the auction hall is busy running inside to report the situation, it has not been peaceful recently, it is better to be cautious.
"Little brother, let me ask you, is there any activity here? Why are so many people in line? Mirage asked the guy at the door.
"Guest, our auction house has important items for auction tonight, which is why it has attracted so many people, if you are interested, you might as well come in and have a look." The little guy introduced.
"Yes, that boy really wants to see what kind of good thing it is, if it's really a good thing, why don't you buy it, lead the way." Mirage shook the spring breeze and rain in his hand, but he looked a little like a gentleman.
"Childe, there should be Childe's guards behind him, can you ask them to wait outside?" The little guy politely suggested.
Mirage didn't want to embarrass the little guy, so he nodded, and Moon Shadow left with a few simple words. Only then did the little guy lead the mirage and a few people into the auction hall through the VIP passage on the side.
