Chapter 502: The Holy Maiden Eats Deflated
On the way to tell the Holy Maiden the news, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash in front of his eyes, and then he was covered with his mouth and nose, and after a moment he was gone.
If Zhao Yunling was there, he would have found that the black shadow that stopped the person was actually Yueqing.
Because the man was stopped, it took nearly three hours for the saint to learn about it from her close subordinates. Only then did the saint realize that she had been tricked by Zhao Yunling.
She was so angry that she even dropped the agate hairpin she was holding in her hand. The man who informed the saint of this knelt down at this, for fear that he would be punished by the saint's anger.
"A bunch of rubbish, what do I want you to do, there are so many people, even a weak woman can't look good!" The saint said as she threw a few more things to vent her anger.
"Holy Maiden, you might as well want that woman, in the country of Saint Ma, there are many followers of our Holy Sect, as long as you issue a wanted warrant, that woman will definitely be unable to fly with wings." The subordinate kneeling on the ground cautiously suggested.
When the holy woman heard this, her face suddenly softened, and soon she turned into a hateful expression, "I have already told the king that Zhao Yunling has died in prison If I issue a wanted warrant for her at this time, isn't it clear that I didn't tell the king the truth before?" What a fool, come up with some bad ideas! ”
The saint was about to say something more, but her maid suddenly came in, "Saintess, someone has come to the palace, and he is already waiting in the front hall. ”
When the saint heard this, she had no choice but to temporarily restrain her anger and disguise her calmness, for if the king found out about these things, it would be difficult for them to end.
The holy woman went to the front hall and asked the messenger, "I wonder what is the matter with the king?" ”
The envoy respectfully bowed to the Holy Maiden and said, "The king has sent a villain to ask the Holy Maiden, I wonder how the research on the hybrid rice formula is progressing?" ”
The saint froze suddenly, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, she here Zhao Yunling had just escaped, and the king came to send someone to ask her how she was doing.
"Just reply to the king as you have done the previous times." The saint said in a somewhat stiff tone, and was about to leave.
The messenger did not stop him, but still said respectfully behind the holy woman: "This time the king seems to be in a hurry, so that the villain must get a definite answer from the mouth of the holy woman." The saint asked the villain to reply as before, and the villain was afraid that it would be difficult to get along. ”
When the saint heard this, she paused and slowly turned back.
She looked at the messenger for a moment, and then said, "Then I will enter the palace with you, and I will explain to the king myself, is this possible?" ”
"This is naturally the best, the villain has thanked the saint here." The messenger respectfully bowed to the Holy Maiden and went with her to the royal palace.
In fact, if it had been before, the saint would not have needed to be like this. But the Holy Sect is now weak, and she has been put on the table by this Zhao Yunling again, the recipe for this hybrid rice will definitely not be able to be obtained, and the king can't be easily offended now, so she can only do this now.
In any case, there is always a hurdle to pass. When she prevaricates the king first, and then sends a large number of disciples to arrest that Zhao Yunling, she will definitely punish that Zhao Yunling severely, and then force her to make a complete hybrid rice formula, so that neither she nor the Holy Sect will need to be afraid of offending the king anymore.
After entering the palace, the king lost the respect he had for the first few times when he saw the saint, and he didn't say much to the saint, so he asked the saint directly with an impatient face, "When will you be able to study the formula of hybrid rice?" It's been a long time since you told me about it, and you've not made even a bit of progress, aren't you fooling me? ”
When the holy woman heard this, she hurriedly said, "Naturally not, it's just that the formula given by Zhao Yunling before is not complete, and we have encountered a bottleneck, so we haven't researched it for a long time." Please give us some more time, we have a clue and will be able to give you the full recipe soon. ”
The king frowned, "I asked you a few times before, and you have been so prevaricating to me, I have given you a long time. The talents of the imperial court are not less than those of your Holy Sect, and you give me all the recipes you have first, and I will let people study them. ”
Before, Zhao Yunling told the Holy Maiden that the recipes were all dictated, and the Holy Maiden was currently handwritten except for the half of the formula for the king, and the other parts of the formula were not handwritten, and there was no formula on her hand.
The saint has always been conceited, and after trusting Zhao Yunling and turning against Rong Yan, she didn't doubt Zhao Yunling much after she took refuge with her wholeheartedly. Who would have thought that Zhao Yunling would put her like this now, she was miserable at the moment, but she could only suffer this dumb loss by herself.
Thinking of this, the saintess's hatred for Zhao Yunling couldn't help but increase a little more.
Now she couldn't show all these things on the surface, so she had to hold her breath and say to the king as tactfully as possible, "The recipe in my hand has not been leaked, and it has been hidden in the darkroom in the deepest part of the Holy Sect, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to take it out." But please give the king a few more days, and I will give the complete recipe with both hands. ”
The king snorted coldly and said, "How many days is the grace period?" Then I will give you a few more days. It's just that the conditions I promised you before will be halved. In a few days, if you give me the full formula, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
The saint stiffened her face, trying not to reveal her emotions, and paused for a long time before answering "yes".
The king flicked his sleeves and left the main hall before the holy woman.
After the king left, the saint could no longer suppress her anger and stomped hard. The saint clenched her hands, her long nails piercing her palms and bleeding. Rao was like this, but it still couldn't calm the anger in her heart, but it was like pouring a bowl of oil into her heart, making her anger more and more intense.
It's all Zhao Yunling, if she hadn't calculated herself, she would not have been so humble in front of the king.
Zhao Yunling, if you fall into my hands, I will make your life worse than death!
After returning to the Holy Sect, the Holy Maiden was already angry. One drew the sword of his hand beside him, and cut first the tree, then the man. Those subordinates didn't dare to fight back, so they could only keep retreating, but they still let the saint slash several people.
After the blood of others made the holy woman barely calm down a little, she realized what she had done, threw her sword, and said to her subordinates who were cut by her in a stiff voice, "Go down to recuperate, and in addition, give me more manpower to search for Zhao Yunling, don't alarm the king." When I find her, I'm going to skin her alive! ”
The Holy Maiden was extremely angry, and the matter of slashing people and sending a large number of disciples to search for Zhao Yunling soon reached the ears of the Holy Son.
When the Holy Son heard that Zhao Yunling had run away, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed for some reason, but he was a little faintly lost. But he couldn't ask more about Zhao Yunling, if he did, it would inevitably make people suspicious of him. He could only pretend that he didn't know anything and didn't care about anything.
Staying out of the matter, secretly wishing in his heart that Zhao Yunling would not be found by the members of the Holy Sect, it was the only thing he could do.
That night, when the Son was about to fall asleep, he heard a knock at the door.
He frowned and walked to the back of the door and asked in a low voice, "Who." ”
"Deliver supper." Outside the door was a deep female voice.
Naturally, the Holy Son did not ask anyone to bring supper, and he did not know this maid, but he felt that the voice of this maid was somewhat familiar.
Soon, he thought of a possibility.
He paused for a moment, but somehow let the man in, and only did he react until the maid had put the box containing the supper on the table and left.
He shook his head, and without thinking much about it, he opened the food box.
The food box has two layers, the first layer contains pastries, and the second layer contains snacks, but there is no alcohol.
One of the dishes looked so strange that there was only one left. The Son broke the pastry, but saw a note in the middle of the pastry.
The note was written by Zhao Yunling, to the effect that the Holy Son should not worry about his own safety, and that he would find a way to take the Holy Son with him. There is also a signature "spirit" word.
The Holy Son saw it, and for some reason, the inexplicable loss in his heart disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable pleasure.
He thought he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so he put the note in his pocket on the chest of his dirty clothes, took the box from the food box and ate the snacks. For some reason, there was no alcohol, but he felt a little drunk.
The next day, he asked the people around him about the maid.
The subordinate had never seen who the Holy Son cared about, and he was still a little maid, so he was a little curious, so he asked, "Holy Son, why do you ask this?" ”
The corner of the Holy Son's lips unconsciously smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that the maid did me a great favor a few days ago and wanted to thank her." If you knew about her, you didn't need to tell her about it, just let someone take care of her. ”
The subordinates were even more puzzled when they heard this, but they didn't say anything, and did as the Holy Son said.
On the other side, Zhao Yunling went around in circles with those Holy Sect disciples, and finally got rid of them completely before rushing to Qiao's Mansion.
She was anxious, so she didn't go from the main entrance, and went directly to the courtyard where Rong Rong lived.
Rong Rong was reading a book in the house, and saw Zhao Yunling covered in dust and a little haggard, but without hesitation, she ran up and hugged Zhao Yunling in surprise, "Mother!" ”
Zhao Yunling also hugged Rong Rong. She hugged Rong Rong so sincerely, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Rong Rong hugged her but cried, "Mother, where did you and Daddy go, Rong Rong hasn't seen you for a long time." My mother must have suffered a lot, why did it become like this? ”
Seeing Rong Rong like this, Zhao Yunling couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "Rong Rong doesn't cry, my mother is fine, your father and I have gone to find your brother, and when we find your brother, we must be by Rong Rong and my brother's side every day, okay?" ”
Rong Rong responded, lying on Zhao Yunling's shoulder and still crying quietly, Zhao Yunling patted her back while secretly swearing in her heart.
She must rescue Yi Yi as soon as possible, as well as the children who Rong Yan said were locked up in the dungeon of the pilgrimage meeting.
