Chapter 513: The Kidnapping Mystery
Zhao Yunling was checking the ledger and had no time to be distracted.
There was a rush of footsteps outside, Zhao Yunling felt a little noisy, opened the door to check, it was her assistant these days, "Boss, your letter." Zhao Yunling saw that it was the stamp of the Linshui Kingdom, she was very happy, Ling Fengchen was really efficient in doing things.
After careful calculation, Ling Fengchen had not been out for half a month before and after he arrived in Linshui Country, although he didn't know the result now, but he could be regarded as having an echo, Zhao Yunling used the pen to remove the fire paint on the envelope and took out the letter inside.
"It's a trade permit from the waterfront country!" Zhao Yunling took out the permit with both hands, carrying the two horns, she looked at it carefully, with this piece of paper, her caravan could go further and create greater profits, if she had her own strength, Zhao Yunling planned to negotiate with the king and let the king rescue Rong Yan and the children.
On the other side, the king came to invite Zhao Yunling to enter the palace to receive the reward, Zhao Yunling was invited to attend, it turned out that the king also received a letter here, knowing that Linshui Country had agreed to the matter of trade, the king was very happy, "Mrs. Rong can be called a woman, I will toast you for the people." The king has been pouring Zhao Yunling wine.
Zhao Yunling echoed, not daring to sweep away the king's interest.
The messenger of the Linshui Kingdom suddenly stood up and saluted the king, expressing his great interest in the holy religion of the Holy Horse Kingdom, and spoke in a foreign accent, "The king of our country wants to ask the Holy Religion to pray for the blessing of the country." ”
"As for the sect leader, I don't think you should object, right?" The king squinted his eyes and asked the sect leader, saying that he was asking, but the momentum was so fierce that no one could question it, and the two were in a stalemate for a while.
As soon as the sect leader stretched out his waist and saluted the king, he was about to agree, when the lord of the kingdom opened his mouth and agreed to the messenger: "No problem, it's settled, let them go over in the next few days." The sect leader's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything disobedient, and sat down with interest.
At the banquet, people sang the king's false praises, and Zhao Yunling felt extremely hypocritical when he looked at it.
"King, I am too drunk to take my leave." Zhao Yunling's face was ruddy, her eyes were misty, she stretched out her trembling hand to help the maid next to her, and with the consent of the king, Zhao Yunling was helped out by the maid, but was arranged to stay in the palace.
Halfway through, Zhao Yunling straightened up, his face returned to the same as before, and he casually found an excuse to send the maid away, Zhao Yunling put on the men's cloak that was shun at the banquet, and went back alone.
"I don't go to inspect today, these angels call us, they go to the banquet to eat and drink, but let us watch the children underground, as soon as I go home, my wife dislikes me with the smell of earth." The guards were drinking and eating peanuts, chatting about today's events, and Rong Yan hurriedly collected useful information from these words.
It turned out that the main figures of the Holy Sect and the Pilgrimage Society were all invited by the king to attend the banquet, so the people guarding the dungeon today were much more relaxed than usual, and took this opportunity Rong Yan to hurry up and check the secret passage.
Opened the door and puffed out a puff of smoke and dust, choking Rong Yan coughed, obviously this secret passage has not been used for a long time, just in case, Rong Yan dismantled a wooden bar on the table, jumped into the dark passage, there are many forks in the road, just when Rong Yan hesitated, a secret door appeared in the middle, and Rong Yan cautiously entered the house.
"Such a large alchemy furnace? It's a big Dan to refine. As soon as Rong Yan entered the room, he was shocked by the huge alchemy furnace in the middle that was more than half a person high, how big was it? If an adult spreads his arms, it takes three people to wrap around him.
Rong Yan was very curious about this, and when he looked closer, he realized that this furnace had a strong smell of blood, and Rong Yan realized that the reason why the alchemy furnace was so big was not how big the alchemy furnace was, but that the alchemy material was very large.
The ornaments in the room are very similar to what kind of formation, everything makes people feel weird, after thinking about it, Rong Yan feels that his hair is upside down, he spent a few days checking the clues, and from an inconspicuous corner he saw a book, and the illustrations on the book are also like ghosts.
It is recorded in the book: On the night of the full moon, the child's blood can shape the bones, the child's body can change its face, and the rebirth is immortality, so that it will be eternal life.
Seeing this, Rong Yan realized that the pilgrimage society had been refining elixir with children, but it was unknown who was taking it.
Thinking of the scene just now, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, looking up at the window, although the moon was not perfect, it was also very big, Rong Yan's heart sank, and muttered, "It's not good, it's almost the full moon!"
Thinking of the book he saw in the secret passage, he knew that the children were getting closer and closer to danger, and Rong Yan was at a loss for anything, and a man in black was quietly approaching at some point.
"Lord, Lord." This voice is Yueqing, Yueqing was checking the situation, but he accidentally bumped into the guards and became fewer, so he came in to deliver the news, and he said the things outside to Rong Yan one by one.
Rong Yan learned that the Holy Sect and the high-ranking and powerful people of the pilgrimage association will go to neighboring countries to pray for blessings in the near future, and the dungeon at that time has become a place forgotten by the pilgrimage society, after Rong Yan listened, he told Yueqing about the situation on his side, "You must tell Yun Ling what I said." ”
Yueqing nodded, and when she saw someone coming, she hid in the darkness and took the opportunity to run out.
Ling Fengchen found a lot of projects for the people of the Holy Sect, and even invited the people of the Holy Sect to give lectures to the people of his country, although the people of the Holy Sect were not very happy to go, it was not easy to refuse, after all, it was. The king of the Holy Kingdom of Sainte-Mar personally agreed, and deliberately found an excuse to drag the people of the Holy Religion, "The king of our country asks you to give the king a lecture on the Fa in person, and then there will be a sumptuous dinner and reward." Seeing that the Holy Sect team was about to go back, Ling Fengchen hurriedly arranged a dinner and accommodation, dragging down the group of people.
Zhao Yunling nodded to Ling Fengchen to express his gratitude, Ling Fengchen smiled slightly, in response, it turned out that Zhao Yunling had asked Ling Fengchen before he came, and he must find all kinds of ways to drag down the people of the Holy Sect.
"I'll go first, I'll leave everything to you here." Zhao Yunling hurriedly greeted Ling Fengchen, saying that she was going to set off, time was pressing, and without waiting for Ling Fengchen to respond, Zhao Yunling turned around and ran towards the place agreed with Yueqing, she must personally rescue Rong Yan.
Here, Zhao Yunling had already made arrangements, and she repeatedly reiterated the purpose of this trip with a serious face, "Our goal today is not to fight to the death, as long as we rescue Rong Yan and the children in the dungeon, we will run, we must minimize the casualties, remember not to fight." ”
Zhao Yunling told the people who decided to participate about the situation inside, although the number of people under Rong Yan was small, but all of them were elite soldiers, Zhao Yunling thought in his heart that this time should at least be a narrow victory.
"Rush." Zhao Yunling and Yueqing took the lead, leading a group of people to rush in, things went very smoothly, and even smoothly a little weird, after the guards were knocked out by Zhao Yunling, there was no more obstacle, not even a patrol touched.
Zhao Yunling cared about Rong Yan a lot, and led everyone all the way to the depths of the dungeon, Zhao Yunling cut the lock of the dungeon, Rong Yan took the children out of the dungeon, the two hugged each other, and then ran outside.
The terrain in the dungeon, fortunately, Rong Yan is quite familiar with it.
"Father, which way are we going?" The Holy Son suddenly ran over and asked Rong Yan, he was not like other children, his face was still so calm, the children's voice was mixed with a low voice, like the appearance of a little adult, leading a group of children to follow the adults, and occasionally stopping was exactly the same as Rong Yan thinking about things.
Zhao Yunling was stunned, the Holy Son turned out to be Rong Yan's father! Her eyes widened and she asked Rong Yan what was going on, and Rong Yan said with unconcealed joy on her face: "I have already recognized Yi Yi." Rong Yan stroked the back of Zhao Yunling's head with one hand, and commanded everyone to quickly run out according to the original route with the other.
When he learned that the Holy Son had recognized Rong Yan, Zhao Yunling's tears actually flowed out, hot, and a mark was drawn on his face, Zhao Yunling gasped slightly, "Good boy, it's good if you can come back, it's good if you come back." As he spoke, he embraced the ease he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Mother." It is easy to call Zhao Yunling, his eyes are a little unfamiliar, his voice is also timid, facing Zhao Yunling's arms, it is easy to behave extremely cautiously, Zhao Yunling only learned after asking, it is easy to still have no memory of the former Dongwen Kingdom, speaking of this Zhao Yunling couldn't help sighing.
When Zhao Yunling heard this mother who was thinking about her day and night, tears burst out of her eyes, she couldn't care so much, she covered her mouth and cried excitedly, it was easy to see Zhao Yunling crying, so she quickly tore off the corner of her plain clothes and wiped her tears for Zhao Yunling.
Zhao Yunling felt in his heart that it was really unfair to let a sensible child who was easy to be so obedient suffer like this, so he wiped away his tears, sniffed his nose and explained: "Mother is fine, Mother just blew her eyes." ”
"We've got to speed up, it's not a good place to stay for long." Rong Yan saw that Zhao Yunling was too excited and delayed his trip, so he turned around and urged Zhao Yunling.
Zhao Yunling reacted at this time, and sped up his pace with the children, "Hurry up, children." Zhao Yunling held the two youngest, drove a group of children outside, and had already seen the door of the dungeon.
At this moment, the people who fought in the front let out a miserable scream, and suddenly, out of thin air, a group of people wearing soft armor with spears in their hands appeared at the door, standing opposite them, blocking the way, Rong Yan's face sank, and he reminded Zhao Yunling in a low voice, "Those who come are not good, be careful." Zhao Yunling nodded after hearing this, and protected the child behind him.
"If you don't see you for a day, don't come unharmed?" As soon as the words fell, a person came out of the crowd, the person in luxurious clothes should be their leader, this figure made Zhao Yunling feel extremely familiar, and after a closer look, the person at the head was the king who should have been with Ling Fengchen.
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan looked at each other, Zhao Yunling frowned, and then realized that something was wrong.
