Chapter 257: There is no silver here
Half an hour later, Liu Xi sent his chief attendant to see Wu Mian and whether he would return. said that he had just heard from Yan Zheng and Xiao Rensan that he would not return and Wu Mian was going to leave Huainan Kingdom temporarily, and King Huainan didn't know what was going on. He himself was receiving officials sent by the imperial court, and it was inconvenient for him to come in person, so he sent his chief chamberlain to inquire.
At the moment, he said with a sad face that he had done something wrong, and he was planning to return to Yan Kingdom to remedy it. I wanted to borrow two carriages from the King of Huainan, but the chief attendant came over, and his old man had to run it himself. The chief chamberlain is responsible for all the expenses in the palace, and their use of the carriage is not a big deal, and the chief steward can decide.
When the chief chamberlain heard about it, he sent someone to prepare the carriage and the attendants who followed it, and went back to report to the king of Huainan. After a while, Liu Xi didn't care about accompanying the officials sent by the imperial court, so he went to this bedroom in person, and stayed in the palace for a few more days. Even if there is a big event, it is not bad for these days.
Sighing again and again, he picked up what he could say to Liu Xi and said to Liu Xi about moving stones and smashing his feet. The King of Huainan said with a look of surprise on his face: "The disciple still doesn't know that there are so many incidents here, so it seems that it is not easy for the disciple to continue to keep the two gentlemen." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xi called over to the chief chamberlain who was waiting on the side, and asked him to prepare a sturdy vehicle and the most capable retinue in the mansion to accompany the two gentlemen, Gui Bugui and Wu Mian, to Yan Kingdom. However, when it came to the entourage, the old guy shook his head and said to the king of Huainan: "Your Highness, the carriage is wanted, but the entourage is still exempt." This time we are on a journey, not a tour. If you need so many retinues, you can help us prepare two carriages that can be taken care of, a few fast horses that have been replaced, and four coachmen will be enough. ”
Seeing that he insisted on returning or not, Liu Xi was not good at sending his entourage to follow. The carriage and coachman were ready in a blink of an eye, and Gui Fu and Wu Mian were not delayed. After loading the iron box into the car, he took Xiao Rensan and the iron monkey Shami. Lost in the direction of Yan again, this time Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, took Yan Zheng and a group of guards, at least sent the carriage of Gui Bugui and Wu Mian out of Shouchun City for thirty miles, and finally watched the two carriages disappear into the official road.
Yan Zheng, who was standing behind King Huainan, sighed after seeing the carriage disappear, and said to Liu Xi: "Your Highness, this brazier has finally been pushed out." Whoever burns it outside Huainan has nothing to do with His Highness. ”
"Using tricks on these two gentlemen, after all, it is still against the way of disciples," After listening to Yan Zheng's words, Liu Xi sighed softly, and then continued: "If it wasn't for the last resort, Xiao Wang wouldn't have done it." Expedient ......"
As Liu Xi spoke, a middle-aged man dressed as a monk walked behind him. This person whispered a few words in the ear of King Huainan, Liu Xi nodded slightly, and then said to Yan Zheng: "The two who asked Tianlou have already followed the carriage of the two gentlemen, no matter what, this time Huainan Kingdom can be regarded as having escaped the disaster." As long as the two gentlemen can send the magic weapon back one step earlier, the two of them will have no worries. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xi paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, he asked about the magic weapon: "Mr. Yan, is that magic weapon really as powerful as you say?" ”
"Your Highness, when it comes to magic, I am really inferior to whether I return or not. But when it comes to knowledge of magic weapons, that old guy is much worse than me. When he said this, Yan Zheng paused deliberately, and everyone around Liu Xi was also interested and retreated. After seeing that these people were all retreating, Yan Zheng continued: "At that time, I was afraid that His Highness would be frightened, and I haven't said the full power of devouring. If it is fully opened, not to mention your royal capital Shouchun, half of the entire Huainan Kingdom will become a no-man's land. Not to mention people, even a bird or a mouse are hard to find. ”
After hearing Yan Zheng's words, Liu Xi sighed heavily, and finally looked at the place where the two carriages disappeared on the official road, and said to himself: "It's hard for the two gentlemen......
After returning to Shouchun City, Liu Xi continued to deal with the government affairs of Huainan Country as if nothing happened. Outsiders could not see a flaw in his body, and at dinner, he also showed his state minister to the palace to discuss some major matters in the country.
Late at night, as soon as the minister was sent away, Yan Zheng appeared by Liu Xi's side. The face of this famous scholar in the past was a little ugly, and he didn't care that the attendants around King Huainan were still around, so he whispered a few words directly in his ear.
Before he finished his words, Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, changed his face. After waving his hand and scattering the crowd, he said directly to Yan Zheng behind him: "You said that they dug a pit and buried that magic weapon before they arrived at the border?" Would the two gentlemen do such a ridiculous thing? Liu Xi's words obviously carried a tone of disbelief.
Yan Zheng took a deep breath, and then said to the King of Huainan in front of him: "Your Highness, I don't believe in this matter either. I also personally used the retreat technique to go to the place where they buried the magic weapon to take a look, and prepared to say, Gui Fu and Wu Mian can only be called buried but not hidden. On the ground where the ritual artifact is buried, it is engraved on a boulder that there is no buried artifact devouring here. The handwriting looks like a handwriting that never returns, and I have worn myself off the boulder. However, I didn't know the intentions of the few of them, and I didn't dare to take out the magic weapon inside without permission. I just dug up the ground and looked at it, and after confirming that it was a magic weapon, I restored it to its original state, and came back to ask His Highness for the king's order......"
As he spoke, Yan Zheng took out the silk map of Huainan that he had prepared. Unfold it in front of the King of Huainan and point out the location of the buried magic weapon that will not return. After Liu Xi looked at it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and snatched the silk map. was torn to pieces in front of Yan Zheng, but Liu Xi was originally a very deep character of the city government. After a while, he returned to normal, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then called the monk who had come over to monitor Shangguan Yang and the young man during the day, and said to him: "No matter what method you use, you must find the two gentlemen of Shangguan Yang as soon as possible." Inform them of the place where the artifact was buried, and say that the king had discovered the location of the artifact and asked them to dig it up. ”
After Liu Xi finished speaking, Yan Zheng called the monk to his side, and after telling him the location of the burial, he sent him away. Afterwards, Yan Zheng continued to say to King Huainan: "Your Highness, this matter looks suspicious, it should be a plan that will not be returned. How to deal with it later, please think twice......"
"I can't care about that much!" Liu Xi waved his hand, and after interrupting Yan Zheng's words, he continued: "If that magic weapon is really as powerful as you said, sir, Xiao Wang can't keep it in the territory of Huainan Kingdom. It's a big deal to be seen through by Mr. Gui and Mr. Wu, so it's much better than opening a magic weapon in Huainan. At that time, Xiao Wang will be guilty in front of the two gentlemen, and it will be a big deal to die, is there anything worse? ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Xi let out a sigh. With a weak body, he reached the ground, looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, and said: "Since a few of them, I have been walking on thin ice, between the imperial court and neighboring countries, and I am determined to keep this inheritance of Huainan Kingdom. Even if you lose your name this time, it is not a good thing to re-enter the reincarnation. I just pray that the next reincarnation will not be in the house of the reincarnated emperor and princes......"
A few hours later, Shangguan Yang and the young man appeared in the dense forest where the ritual artifact was buried. Since the mark here had been erased by Yan Zheng before, the two of them searched for a long time before they found the location where the burial was buried. After a bit of digging, the general finally carefully lifted the large iron box out.
Subsequently, Shangguan Yang opened the iron box. After carefully examining the snake-tailed tiger-headed monster in the box, he made a gesture to the young man next to him and said, "It's this magic weapon, I can't imagine that I can't return and Wu Mian are really willing to bury such a magic weapon here......"
