Chapter 304: Da Bai has been missing for several days
Coming out of the Valley of the Wind, the road was smooth. Occasionally, some mountain and forest beasts that blocked the way were also expelled by Zuhail with the skill of beast control. Therefore, in just ten days, Yan Xi and his party went out of the Valley of the Wind.
Just like when they entered the mountain, when they went out of the mountain, Yan Xi and his party waited until the first beam of heavenly light shone at the entrance of the Wind Valley at dawn to find their way out of the mountain.
As soon as they came out of the mountain, Yan Xi and the others saw two corpses lying at the entrance that had been dead for more than a month. At a glance, they recognized the two corpses as the two coachmen brought by Yun Luotian. When they entered the Windy Valley, the two coachmen were guarding the outside of the Windy Valley. At this time, their bodies were discovered, and it was thought that Batu and the others should have killed them when they entered the Valley of the Wind.
Fortunately, the carriage brought by Yun Luotian was still there, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Yan Xi and the others untied the horses from the carriage, abandoned the carriage, and rode back to the southern Xinjiang royal city directly.
"King Ming, Miss Yan, you have colorful Qiankun stones on you, if you stay in the city, it will inevitably be noticed and cause unnecessary trouble. Why don't you go back to the royal court with me, stay in the royal court for a few days, and make other plans. As soon as he entered the gate of the royal city, Zu Haier warmly extended an invitation to Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan.
During a trip to the Valley of the Wind, his thoughts on Yan Xi had changed from admiration to admiration. He knew in his heart that a woman like Yan Xi couldn't be controlled at all. Therefore, he invited Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan to stay with him in the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court this time, purely as he said, and did not have any evil thoughts.
Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan originally had this plan, after all, they carried the colorful Qiankun Stone, and it was inconvenient to walk in the royal city, so it was most appropriate to go to the royal court with Zu Haier to live temporarily. At this time, Zu Haier brought it up, and Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan followed Zu Haier's wishes and followed him into the royal court.
Zu Haier is not in front of Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan, but in front of outsiders, he shows the majesty of the king of Southern Xinjiang everywhere. On the first day of Yan Xi's stay in the southern Xinjiang royal court, Zu Haier's concubine came to the door to find Yan Xi's trouble, and after being cleaned up by Yan Xi, she cried and ran to Zu Haier to complain, but was scolded by Zu Haier and driven out of the royal court. Since then, people up and down in the royal court have known that Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan are the guests of their king, and they no longer dare to be slack.
In the royal court of Southern Xinjiang, Yan Xi hid in the palace arranged for her by Zu Haier and slept for two days and two nights before she could make up for the energy consumed by going to Wind Valley this time. Fortunately, Xiao Zhihan knew Yan Xi's habit, so he didn't make a fuss, but just asked people to prepare meals at any time for Yan Xi, who didn't know when he would wake up.
Da Bai was also tired, and as soon as he returned to the palace, he lay down beside Yan Xi and slept very sweetly.
How did Zu Haier know that Yan Xi still had this habit, and when he heard that the maid came to report that Yan Xi had slept for a day and a night, he was in a hurry. announced the best doctor in the royal court, and hurriedly went to treat Yan Xi. Hearing those doctors say that Yan Xi was just too tired to fall asleep, Zu Haier didn't believe it for a while, and angrily scolded those doctors for being quacks. It was Xiao Zhihan who rushed to hear the news to stop this farce and let Yan Xi continue to make up for sleep.
When Yan Xi woke up and learned about what happened, he only sighed that Zu Haier's life was great. Probably because they spent time together in the Valley of the Winds and experienced life and death together, Zuhair was able to get close to her when she was asleep. If this is someone else, I'm afraid that she will already take her life by not knowing how to use it!
After recuperating his spirit, Yan Xi took out the python skin that Yun Luotian had drawn full of mechanism diagrams, and copied the mechanism diagrams on it bit by bit onto the paper. Although this snakeskin is good, it is too large and not very convenient to carry after all. Besides, she also wants to take this opportunity to take a look at what the high-level mechanism map in this world looks like. Once she had all these tricks in her mind, she would definitely be able to take her tricks one step further.
During the period when Yan Xi copied the map of the mechanism, Da Bai was naturally wandering around in the royal court of Southern Xinjiang. Dabai is snow-white, and can be coquettish and cute, so it is very popular in the royal court of southern Xinjiang. Even the concubines in Zuhair's harem who don't treat Yan Xi very well, when they see Dabai, they can't help but burst with love and feed it some food they like.
After wandering around the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court for a day or two, Dabai was completely familiar with the layout of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court. One day, while everyone was not paying attention, Da Bai quietly entered the medicine depot of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court.
It wasn't until Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan got the Hugh Warring States Letter from Zu Haier and were about to return to Wan'an City that they found out that Dabai had been missing for several days.
Zu Haier naturally knew how important Da Bai was to Yan Xi, and he didn't want to order the guards to thoroughly investigate the entire southern Xinjiang royal court. But anyone who came into contact with Dabai, whether it was a guard maid or a concubine in the harem, was brought to Zuhairer for personal interrogation. But no one can say where Dabai went.
Yan Xi couldn't find Dabai, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If it weren't for the induction between her and Da Bai to know that Da Bai was still alive, I was afraid that she would be rough in the southern Xinjiang royal court.
"Where do you think Dabai can run?" Yan Xi stood in the imperial garden of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court, looking at the fish swimming in the water, and asked Xiao Zhihan beside him with a thoughtful face.
Xiao Zhihan looked at his surroundings and lowered his head in contemplation. After thinking about it, he raised his head and said, "Could it be that it is hiding somewhere and doesn't want to come out?" ”
Hearing Xiao Zhihan's words, Yan Xi suddenly remembered something.
Dabai is not just an ordinary fox, as long as it is alive, no one can easily trap it. Now I can't find it, it can only be the gluttonous fox himself. For some reason, Yan Xi's mind suddenly appeared in the empty medicine warehouse in the Medicine King Valley.
With this clue, Yan Xi immediately asked people to find Zu Haier, and then followed Zu Haier to the medicine depot of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court.
There are many cherished medicinal materials in the medicine warehouse of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court, many of which are good products used to raise Gu. Since almost everyone in the royal court of Southern Xinjiang is good at Gu, for the convenience of their medicine, this medicine warehouse is not locked. Make a note at the guard at the gate and you can enter the place to get the medicine.
Yan Xi asked the guard at the door if he had seen Da Bai coming.
When the guard heard Yan Xi's description, he nodded, saying that he had seen a fox exactly like Yan Xi's description a few days ago, and it had appeared in this vicinity.
Hearing the guard's words, Yan Xi didn't hesitate any longer, pushed open the door of the medicine depot and walked in.
Zu Haier and a group of guards who helped to find Dabai also followed Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan into the medicine storehouse.
As soon as he entered the medicine store, the crowd that was still bustling instantly quieted down. Especially Zuhairer and those southern Xinjiang guards, their faces were full of shock.
Is this really the medicine depot of their southern Xinjiang royal court? How come several medicine shelves are empty! Could it be that there are too many people who have come to pick up medicinal materials in recent days, and they have not been able to replenish them in time? But that's too much, isn't it?
"Have you been getting a lot of people taking medicine lately?" Zuhair waved his hand and replaced the guard guarding the medicine store.
Hearing Zuhair's question, a blank look appeared on the guard's face. Shaking his head, he said, "Back to the king's words, no one has come to the medicine warehouse to pick up medicine in the past few days. ”
"So what's going on!" Zuhairer couldn't help but be a little angry, several medicine shelves were empty, and no one came to pick up the medicine, where did those medicinal materials go? Could it be that he still has wings and flies?
"The king is angry, the little one really doesn't know! The medicinal materials in the medicine warehouse are replenished every ten days, and it is still less than ten days since the last time the medicinal materials were replenished, so I will not wait to check it out......" The guard knelt in front of Zuhair, and explained tremblingly. In this situation, if the king suspects him of self-theft, I am afraid that no one will believe that he is innocent.
Seeing the guard's appearance begging for mercy, Yan Xi walked to Zuhair's side, reached out and touched his nose, and said with an unnatural expression, "I probably know what's going on." ”
Seeing Yan Xi's appearance, a trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Zhihan's eyes.
Yan Xi probably meant that the fox did the work of emptiness of several medicine shelves in the medicine warehouse of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court! He'd always known that the fox was greedy, but that was outrageous! How old is that fox, why does it need so many medicinal herbs?
Zuhairer also looked at Yan Xi with a puzzled expression and asked, "You know? ”
Yan Xi looked at the curious people around him, moved his gaze to Zu Haier, and said, "This is not easy to say, you let these people avoid it first." ”
When Zu Haier heard Yan Xi say this, he waved his hand and sent all the onlookers back.
When there were only three people in the medicine storehouse, Zu Haier and Yan Xixiao Zhihan asked, "How do you know?" Shouldn't I have softened my heart when I saw the guard begging for mercy just now! ”
Yan Xi glanced at Zu Haier and said, "You're thinking a little too much. ”
"Tell me, then, what's going on?" Zuhairer looked at Yan Xi, his eyes full of curiosity.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and said, "I'll talk about this matter later, you guys help me find Dabai first." If I'm not mistaken, it should be sleeping somewhere here at this time. ”
Hearing Yan Xi's words, Zu Haier and Xiao Zhihan didn't ask much, they each chose a direction and looked for Dabai.
After searching for about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Zhihan found Dabai, who was sleeping soundly, under a medicine shelf. Da Bai's body was tightly covered by the medicine rack, and it was difficult to find even if he passed by. If it weren't for Xiao Zhihan's hearing since childhood, when he passed by this medicine shelf, he heard an extremely faint sound of breathing, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find Dabai hiding here.
"Found it." Xiao Zhihan took Da Bai out from under the medicine shelf and said to Yan Xi and Zu Haier.
When the other two heard Xiao Zhihan's voice, they all turned their heads and walked over here.
"How sleepy is Dabai? You're carrying it like this, and it won't wake up? Zu Haier looked at Da Bai, who was carried by Xiao Zhihan, and said with some surprise.
A cold snort came from behind Zu Haier, "What is it to carry it, even if you hold a knife on its neck now, it will definitely not move!" ”
