Text Chapter 241: Crisis Rescue, Soul (1)
Yan Ziyue bowed gratefully and said, "Then it's troublesome for the two of you."
Sang Yu and Tui returned the salute and discussed it.
"Did you come up with an idea?" Nangong Xun came over and asked.
"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue nodded slightly and looked into the depths of the dense mountain forest and said: "Nangong Xun, Nangong pardons their dry food, I'm afraid that today's dry food will not be enough, right?"
"Well..., it's very likely", Nangong Xun had a worried expression.
Yan Ziyue took a step forward, stood against the wind, and said to herself: "Nangong pardon, you must wait for me."
Nangong Xun looked at Yan Ziyue's thin but upright, powerful back, and his heart trembled, envying Nangong Yulai.
Splitting the sky glanced at Yan Ziyue's back, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and suddenly felt that Yan Ziyue was really different from other women, not only brave, kind, intelligent, open-minded, but also true temperament, never abandoned, and more and more identified her in his heart.
Lei Yunting walked to Yan Ziyue's side, wanted to speak and stopped, looking into the distance.
In the depths of the mountains and forests, Nangong Yu flew up to the treetops to look at every section of his walk, because he didn't know the direction, he didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that the more he walked, the deeper he went, the more dangerous it was. The heavy snow closed the mountain, and there was no prey infested, so there was no food to replenish the hunger, which made Nangong Yu feel very tricky.
In the afternoon, Nangong pardoned the deputy general to give everyone some food, and gave his share to Yan Fengyi and Fang Gu.
After the meal, Nangong pardoned everyone to rest in place, whispered a few words to the deputy general, and then flew away. When all the soldiers saw Nangong pardon leaving, they suddenly felt a little panicked in their hearts, and they all stood up one by one, and a few of them went to the deputy to ask about the situation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the young general will go and see if he can hunt anything to eat, and he will be back in a moment", the adjutant general said in a raised voice so that everyone could hear it.
Yan Fengyi and Fang Gu also listened to it clearly, made eye contact, and firmly believed that Nangong Yu would come back.
Nangong Yu didn't dare to go too far, flew to the tallest tree, tore off a piece of jujube cotton cloth on his body, tied it to the tip of the treetop, and made a mark, so that he searched within a range of no more than ten miles.
In the stockade of the Red Feather tribe, Sang Yu and Tui repeatedly calculated, and finally came up with a consistent answer, so they found Yan Ziyue and others.
Tui glanced at Sang Tuo, and then glanced at Hongwu, and then said: "Sang Tuo and I deduce that the southbound wind will start around noon tomorrow and stop at the end of the day, and the wind strength should be not small."
"Seriously"? Yan Ziyue got up and asked.
"Hmm... There may be some time errors, but there will definitely be southerly winds tomorrow," Sang added.
After Yan Ziyue listened, she was silent for a moment, and then turned to Hongwu and said, "Red Chief, I want to borrow someone from you."
When Hong Wu heard this, he said happily: "You say, how many people do you need?"
"I need to get acquainted with the young people who are going to Xilong City, the more the better."
"Well... Come, bring me all the young people in the clan who are familiar with going to Xilong City, and go immediately."
"No," a young man trotted out.
"You want to go back to Xilong City"? Nangong Xun stepped forward and asked.
"Hmm", Yan Ziyue nodded, "I'll be back before noon tomorrow."
"Okay", Nangong Xun knew that Yan Ziyue must have a way to rescue Nangong and pardon them.
"Chief, the men have arrived, forty-three in all."
"Okay", Hongwu patted the tiger skin chair and got up, and said to everyone: "Go", said and led everyone out of the hall, and came to the open space in front of the village, where forty-three young and strong young men were standing in a staggered manner.
"Listen, everyone, it's about the honor and disgrace of my Red Feather Clan, give me spiritual points, and after the success, I will be rewarded", although there are not many words in Hongwu, but it is very imposing and has excellent appeal.
"No... Promise... No", the boys all raised their halberds in their hands and shouted.
Seeing this, Hongwu grinned, turned to look at Yan Ziyue, and touched the details of this Ziyue princess in the past two days, and was surprised and a little admired, so he said: "I said Princess Ziyue, you see, people have lent it to you, but you can't borrow it for nothing, I will bear everyone, and I will be rewarded afterwards."
How could Yan Ziyue not understand the meaning of Hongwu's words, and said, "Red Chief, make a bid."
"Refreshing", Hongwu's eyes rolled, and he said: "Everyone is a friend, and I don't want more, in this way, five thousand taels of silver, and give me two carts of good wine, cattle and sheep, fifty heads each."
"The red chief's deal is very good"! Yan Ziyue said and stared at Hongwu's face.
Hongwu met Yan Ziyue's eyes, and was actually a little afraid, so he smiled and said, "It's a little more, we can discuss."
"There's no need to discuss, I'll give you 10,000 taels, and as for the wine, cattle and sheep you want, you have to buy them yourself."
When Hongwu heard this, he was happy, and laughed a few times and said: "Princess Ziyue, if you were born in my wolf clan, then you have to be the wolf queen, it's a pity...".
"The red leader laughed", Yan Ziyue said and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Hong Wudao: "Silver taels, I will pay first, your people, you have to be good."
Hongwu took the silver ticket, looked at it, smiled from ear to ear, and replied: "I understand", then took the silver ticket into his arms, and turned to the clansmen: "Listen to me, from now on, you all listen to her, who dares to pout my hooves and lose the face of my Red Feather tribe, I am not finished with him, do you hear clearly"?
"No... No...".
Hongwu nodded, and then introduced Yan Ziyue to the clansmen, and asked the clansmen to call her "Moon Gongzi".
Split Heaven and Lei Yunting followed Yan Ziyue, as well as forty-three people from the Red Feather Clan, and prepared to set off back to Xilong City.
Before leaving, Hongwu stepped forward and said to Yan Ziyue: "Princess Ziyue, my people, you make a return, how many people can go, how many people can return, and no one can be less."
Yan Ziyue glanced at Hongwu and smiled slightly: "Red Chief, you are still very protective of calves"?
Hongwu listened, hehe smiled.
"Okay, I promise you", Yan Ziyue said with a serious expression.
"Princess Ziyue, thank you", Hongwu gave Yan Ziyue a very standard celestial wolf clan respectful salute.
The others looked a little surprised, but the people of the Red Feather tribe knew the deep meaning, it was a respectful salute to the wolf king and queen of the wolf clan, which meant that the other party's status in their hearts was noble and sacred.
Yan Ziyue didn't know what Hongwu's honorific salute meant, she just smiled slightly, turned around and led people away.
"What does that mean"? Luo Zihang came over and asked Nangong Xun.
"I don't know," Nangong Xun said, looking at Tui not far away.
He stepped forward and said, "Only the wolf king and queen of our Heavenly Wolf Clan are worthy of such a respectful gift."
When Nangong Xun heard this, he was stunned, looked at Hongwu, and smiled approvingly.
"Xun, what are you laughing at"? Hongwu came over and pushed Nangong Xundao.
"Uncle, you don't lose, she may be the princess of my Fire Phoenix Kingdom."
Luo Zihang was shocked by Nangong Xun's words, and when he thought about it, he smiled heartily.
"Really? If we have a wolf king of the same age as her in the Heavenly Wolf Clan, we must rob her back to be a wolf queen for us", Hongwu just joked, but Nangong Xun and Luo Zihang listened to it in their hearts, and their eyes met, and their faces sank.
Seeing it in his eyes, he didn't have time to remind Hongwu, so he had to follow Hongwu into the village.
Yan Ziyue led the people all the way to Xilong City, and Shen Shi had already entered the city around the time.
On the other side, the snow forest.
Nangong Yu searched for a circle in vain, and everyone was determined to see him come back, and it didn't matter if he brought anything back.
Nangong Yu looked up at the sky, asked the deputy general to gather everyone together, and then he took out the golden snake whip on his waist, swept out, and one after another the big trees fell, and after a while, he cut down more than a dozen big trees, removed the branches and skins, split them into several pieces, and then handed them over to the deputy general, and let people set up camp and make a fire.
Xilong City, Yan Ziyue and others returned to Xihuale, and they found Chimei for the first time.
"Young master, you're back", Chi Mei was very happy to see Yan Ziyue.
"Chimei, I have something for you to do", Yan Ziyue was resolute, went to the cabinet and took a pen and paper, looked at the shopkeeper and said: "These Chiyu people, hand it over to you, I need a lot of salt, mix cinnabar evenly, bagged, the more the better."
"Young master, salt is not a problem, but cinnabar is afraid that there is not so much", the shopkeeper replied.
"Then use dyed grains, preferably red."
"Yes...", the shopkeeper nodded in response, and took the people of the Akabane tribe down.
Yan Ziyue immediately drew a pattern on the paper, handed it to Chi Mei and said, "Look at it."
Chi Mei took it and looked at it for a while, and asked, "Is this..."?
"Kong Ming lanterns, I ask for a large inner space, three thousand; The wine sac is only enough to hold one or two, and it can be put into the Kong Ming lantern, which is not flammable, and it is also 3,000; Also, jerky, cuts, thumb size, the more the better, and I'm going to see them all tomorrow."
"Three thousand Kong Ming lanterns? Tomorrow? Chi Mei was a little embarrassed and said: "Young master, I'm afraid this matter is not easy."
"Do what you can, as many as you can, and send it outside the West City tomorrow."
"Okay", Chi Mei turned around and went down to make arrangements.
Yan Ziyue looked at Lei Yunting and Split Heaven and said, "You guys go back to the room to rest."
"Young master", Lei Yunting stepped forward, but he didn't know what to say.
"Ziyue, what can I do for you"? Split Sky stood not far away.
Yan Ziyue glanced at it and said with a shallow smile: "No need."
Splitting Sky listened, like a cut in her chest, it hurt, because she didn't need it, and suddenly found that she was really useless to her.
Yan Ziyue sat down at the table, as long as she thought that Nangong pardoned them were now experiencing the hardships of hunger and cold, she was very worried, her eyebrows were frowning, and her eyes were stained with a layer of mist.
Lei Yunting and Split Sky only watched Yan Ziyue quietly from the side, silently accompanying them.
Yan Ziyue seemed to think of something, took out a Hades Order-jade carved puppet from her arms, stroked it, and just as the shopkeeper came in, the Hades Order in Yan Ziyue's hand that she caught a glimpse of, stopped, and a trace of panic flashed on her face.
Yan Ziyue raised her eyes, just saw the change in the expression on the shopkeeper's face, and was a little puzzled, but she didn't point it out directly.
The shopkeeper returned to the counter and began to keep accounts and make a letter, Yan Ziyue glanced at it from time to time, got up and walked over, and deliberately handed the Hades Order to him and said, "Shopkeeper, do you know this?"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to raise his eyes and replied, "I don't know."
"Shopkeeper, this is the Hades Order."
The shopkeeper was silent, his hand holding the pen paused for a moment, and then began to write again.
"Shopkeeper, I want to ask someone from the Hades Temple for help, do you know where to find people from the Hades Temple in Xilong City?"
The shopkeeper's hand hesitated again, and only then did he whisper for a long time: "Young master, I don't know."
Yan Ziyue took the Hades Order into her arms, took the pen from the shopkeeper's hand, wrote down the things, quantities and requirements she needed on the paper, handed them to the shopkeeper's hands, and said very sincerely: "You don't care what method you use, with the power of Xilongtang alone, it will be difficult to complete it before tomorrow, I need help, can you help me?"
