Chapter 60: Zhen Ye Goes to the Demon Realm to Investigate
Back in the Heavenly Realm, Zhen Ye put forward his own idea, thinking that he should go to the Demon Realm to investigate, maybe there will be an unexpected discovery. After hearing this, Fan Qing broke out in a cold sweat. He coped with it with his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking about whether this Jiang Yuan hiding place was safe. In order to understand Zhen Ye's itinerary, Fan Qing pretended to say: "Zhen Ye, when do you plan to go to the Demon Realm!" Let's go with it, too! Or are you thinking clearly, because my father is missing, I am worried that I am out of order. ”
Zhen Ye nodded and said, "In that case, why don't you go to the demon realm at this moment!" ”
Fan Qing was shocked in his heart, thinking about how to hold Zhen Ye back. It happened that Xiyu came, and when he heard that Zhen Ye was going to the Demon Realm, he also had to go with him. Zhen Ye originally wanted to go alone, the goal was small, and it was easy to talk about it. But seeing this pleasing heart, Fan Qing and Xiyu have to go together, and they know in their hearts that this demon world is just a game, and they are a little bored in their hearts. With a black face, he said to Xi Yu: "Xi Yu, we are here to investigate Jiang Yuan's disappearance, what are you going to do?" ”
Xi Yu said unconvinced: "Cousin, although Xi Yu's cultivation is not high, he is very familiar with the demon world. You know, I grew up there when I was younger. ”
Zhen Ye looked at Xi Yu and agreed with Xi Yu's words in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay for you to be a companion for Yuexin." ”
So, these four quietly went down to the heavenly realm and went to the demon realm.
It is said that when Hongyan wanted to agree to Jiang Yuan's request that day, he was stopped by Ertian, who cast a spell to make Jiang Yuan fall asleep. Then he motioned for Hong Yan to go back to the Demon Venerable Mansion with him. As soon as he entered Nafu, Lu Tian asked very seriously: "Yan'er, when did you enter?" ”
Hong Yan bowed his head and said, "Father, I followed you in when I found out that Fan Qing and you were dodging towards the Jiang'er Cave. ”
Lu Tian said nervously: "That Fan Qing didn't find you, right?" ”
Hong Yan said: "Father, the child is hiding on the boulder, Fan Qing should not have found it." ”
Lu Tian looked at Hong Yan, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't let anyone know that Jiang Yuan is hiding in my place. ”
Hong Yan looked at the sky, and the vicissitudes and sufferings portrayed by the years were like ugly insects, crooked, and crooked lying on his face. The brown eyeballs had become gray due to the long-term infringement of the Flame Spirit Gu Land, and they had lost their luster like an old man in the twilight of his life. Hong Yan looked at such a fierce sky, and suddenly realized that he had not looked at his father's face so carefully for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel very sad. He knew that he had always longed for tranquility and indifference, and perhaps, in his own life, he would not be able to achieve the kind of excellence and ambition that his father wanted. However, after he saw Fan Qing treating Jiang Yuan unscrupulously, he was even more depressed.
He thought that although his father had grown into the face of an old man in his twilight after all his hardships, there was still hope in his heart. But he felt that his heart was like ashes now, like an old man in the twilight, and he didn't have the strength to fight or grab. I just want his father and him to be safe and secure, quietly guarding the Demon Realm, so that the people of the Demon Realm can live and work in peace and contentment, and live happily.
Seeing that Hongyan just looked at him fixedly, without speaking, he asked strangely, "Hongyan, what are you thinking?" ”
Only then did Hong Yan come back to his senses and said gloomily: "Father, Jiang Yuan is the patriarch of the East China Sea Clan. Fan Qing is a ruthless dace essence. Aren't you afraid that Fan Qing will frame us? ”
Yan Tian smiled and said, "Yan'er, Fan Qing still needs us now, so he won't do this at this time." ”
Hong Yan looked at the sky, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this sky was stupid, and the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind. Looking at the ruthlessness of this Fan Qing regardless of it, it is estimated that the queen of heaven is making a wedding dress for him, and how can he be his opponent. Thinking of this, Hong Yan said earnestly to Heaven: "Father, Fan Qing has now seized the five-colored Yikun, and he is still using evil magic to absorb the cultivation of others, you better pay more attention!" Jiang Yuangui is the patriarch of the East China Sea Clan, and his disappearance will definitely attract the attention of the Heavenly Realm. Shicai Hongyan saw that Fan Qing had no scruples about the father-son relationship with Jiang Yuan, and treated Jiang Yuan as a cruel thief, and he was ruthless. If something happens, he will definitely plant the blame on us, and take advantage of the chaos to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
He was very relieved to hear Hongyan's words, and felt that Hongyan had finally grown up, knew how to judge the situation, and dissected the subtleties. He couldn't help but smile happily, and then he told Hong Yan what was in his heart.
It turned out that Lu Tian originally planned that after Hong Yan could marry Xuan Yan as his wife, he would be able to get the five-colored light, and he would be able to merge with the Red Flame Whip. In this way, you can open and control the gates of the Demon Realm, the Ghost Realm, and the Demon Realm, and fight against the Heavenly Realm. But since he learned that Qingshi was Fan Qing, he knew that Fan Qing was a person with ill intentions, wolves and bees. With Fan Qing's plan, it is impossible to fulfill his wish. Therefore, you can only watch the tiger fight from the other mountain. Look at Fan Qing and the queen of heaven Ye Rong's fighting method, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
When Hong Yan learned of Lottian's thoughts, he smiled bitterly, but he looked at the confident Lottian who was not good at pouring cold water, and he said in his heart: "Father! Have you forgotten the two sons of the Emperor of Heaven? Rampant in these six realms relies on strength, not just ambition! However, he knew that he couldn't convince Ertian, so he could only propose: "Father, Jiang Yuan's Jiang'er Cave has never been a long-term place, if it is hidden in the mortal world, the mortal world has mixed flavors, Jiang Yuan's cultivation has been plundered by Fan Qing, even if you want to find it, it is difficult." ”
After hearing this, Lu Tian said: "Yan'er, this is a very good idea. I'll leave it to you! ”
After hearing this, Hong Yan was about to go to the Jiang'er Cave, but after hearing this, he instructed uneasily: "Don't know about it with others." Also, don't tell Lan Qing about this. ”
Hongyan turned to look at Ertian, sighed silently in his heart, and agreed.
Winter is about to start in a blink of an eye, and Lanqing organized personnel to dig ditches and build waterwheels, and the waterwheels were in full swing. Yun Jia watched from the sidelines, thinking in his heart how to persuade Lan Qing to rise up and establish himself as king.
Yun Jia looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and thought to himself, this year's weather is too abnormal, it is still so warm in winter, it may be a warm winter. If it is a warm winter, the crops will not be good next year, and I am afraid that there will be insect infestations. Thinking like this, Ding Liu panted and ran in the direction of Lanqing. When Yun Jia saw it, he frowned, and also followed Ding Liu to Lan Qing. I saw that Ding Liushang was out of breath and said, "My lord, no...... It's not bad, then Lord Li Zhengnan of Huaiwu Zhizhou brought a few officials to look for you in the county office! ”
Lan Qing wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I'll go over now." Don't panic. ”
Na Ding Liu said with a sad face: "My lord, I think that Master Li is menacing!" ”
Lan Qing smiled happily and said, "It's okay, wait for me to go to the meeting." ”
Yun Jia listened to Ding Liu's words, and couldn't help frowning, thinking in his heart, this Li Zhengnan is not good! He looked at Lan Qing's defenseless smiling face, and he was a little worried in his heart. He stood quietly and thought to himself, estimating the course of events.
Lan Qing turned his head and looked at Yun Jia with a smile and said, "Brother Yun Jia, I'll go first." That's all for you! ”
Yun Jia grinned reluctantly and said, "Don't worry! ”
As he was talking, Ding Qi also ran over sweating profusely, and said with a panicked look at Lan Qing: "Great, my lord, Lord Li Zhengnan asked Master Qin to seal the account book, and then took the seal, and now the people who have led the way are going to your house!" Go back and check it out! ”
Lan Qing was shocked when he heard this, but he still said calmly on his face: "It's okay, there is no introspection, what are you afraid of?" Ding Liu, Ding Qi, you should keep an eye on the construction period here, don't wait for the weather to be cold, the fortification will be delayed, and next year's spring ploughing will be delayed. After the arrangement, Lan Qing said to Yun Jia again: "Brother Yun Jia, there is a sudden change, you better go back and rest for a while!" After Lan Qing takes care of it, he will visit again. ”
Yun Jia knew that Lan Qing was afraid that this matter would implicate him, so he let himself avoid it. He thought about it in his heart, it's okay to see the darkness and ugliness of this officialdom, how can he arouse Lan Qing's fighting spirit! However, this Li Zhengnan is not a good stubble, since he is menacing, he is bound to be determined, so Lan Qing is a little dangerous. I'll go and inform General Xia Yunzhen first. Thinking of this, Yun Jia nodded in agreement.
Lan Qing hurried home, but before he could enter the door, he heard the sound of noisy fighting. Lan Qing was shocked and hurriedly pushed the door in. But he saw Yun Qi holding a silver fishbone soft steel whip, his posture was dexterous, he was calm and abnormal, and he danced the silver whip like a silver snake. These strong servants still couldn't get close to her for a while. Lan Qing was very surprised, he never thought that this cloud banner seemed to be weak, but it turned out to be a strange woman with both civil and military skills. In his heart, his appreciation for this cloud flag was even better. However, seeing Yun Qi using his weak body to defeat five with one, he was very distressed. Hurriedly rushed over, and used the Tai Chi Liangyi to separate the official from the cloud flag. And took advantage of the situation to pull the cloud flag behind him and protect it.
Li Zhengnan squinted his eyes, held a greasy general's belly, skimmed his figure-eight steps, and walked in front of Lan Qing proudly, surrounded by two guards. He also squinted his triangular eyes, an arrogant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said in a shuffled voice: "Bold Xinwu County Ling Lanqing, are you guilty?" ”
Lan Qing quietly turned his head and gave Yun Qi a look, motioning for her to enter the house. Although Yunqi was not at ease, he still obediently entered the inner room. Lan Qing then made a gesture and said: "Master Li came from afar, Lan Qing has missed the welcome, sin, sin!" I hope Lord Li will forgive me! ”
Li Zhengnan sneered and said, "Lan Qing, Ben Zhizhou is not such a small-bellied person. It's just that you, Xinwu County, are thriving, why can't you even pay the taxes and grain required by the imperial court? The budget is still in deficit. Say, are you corrupt? ”
Lan Qing said with a righteous face: "Back to Lord Li, this Xinwu County has suffered a lot of deficit in previous years. The people were also displaced, and the fields were barren and the grass was overgrown. Therefore, Lan Qing can only let these people recuperate and recuperate, and lightly pay for their meager endowments. At least let the people settle down and farm well. Make plans for later. ”
A cunning light shot out of Li Zhengnan's eyes, and he said in a strange manner: "Lan Qing, can Ben Zhizhou be understood as your rebellion against the imperial court and your private grain storage?" Or do you have other intentions? ”
Lan Qing was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard Li Zhengnan say this. Isn't this slandering him for harboring evil intentions and wanting to rebel? Seeing that Li Zhengnan came prepared, he waited for two years, and he must have planned well. What should I say? Lan Qing was a little worried, and quickly calculated in his heart how to protect his mother and Yunqi first. I will find a way to fight wits and courage with that Li Zhengnan.
Li Zhengnan saw that Lan Qing didn't answer, and said proudly: "Lan Qing, what else do you have to say?" ”
Lan Qing groaned and said, "Lord Li, Lan Qing can go to the Huaiwu Zhizhou Mansion with you to explain this matter clearly." I just ask you to say goodbye to my mother and my wife. ”
Li Zhengnan saw that Lan Qing was not in a hurry to deal with him, and he was inevitably a little weak in his heart, thinking in his heart, this Fan Qing had calculated for him, and it was foolproof, but this Lan Qing was General Yun Zhen's son-in-law after all. Lan Qing was arrested on such a trumped-up charge, in case this General Yunzhen was annoyed, it would not be good to go to the emperor to raise the imperial court. When he weighed back and forth in his heart, he heard the sound of commotion outside the house.
It turned out that the people of Xinwu came to petition Lanqing with shovels and pickaxes. Li Zhengnan was overjoyed in his heart, and said secretly: "God help me!" This Lan Qing now has a hundred mouths, and it is difficult to explain clearly. I hope that the people of Xinwu will make more noise! ”
Lan Qing heard the noise outside the house, and secretly said in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Li, the people don't know the truth, so let me appease you." ”
Li Zhengnan was about to refuse Lan Qing's proposal, but he heard someone in his ear: "Master Li, if you let Lan Qing out, I will make things bigger!" Li Zhengnan shook his head and looked left and right, but he didn't find a figure, knowing that it was the Fanqing Immortal who came to help him, and he was ecstatic. Immediately said to Lan Qing: "Okay." You can calm the emotions of the people. Don't turn into a riot! ”
