Chapter 554: Returning in vain
After seeing the following situation, Zhang Xiaoxue and Yu Wenze were both a little disappointed, although they did not give up and asked Xiao Zhi to turn around the entire Seven Lotus Mountain Range, but they didn't find anything at all.
If you have a wide field of vision in the sky, I heard the emperor say that he has invested so much manpower in this Seven Lotus Mountain Range, thinking that he should always be able to see a few people.
But there was no if, in the afternoon, the two of them still returned in vain, during which Zhang Xiaoxue and Yu Wenze discussed.
I felt that there was that kind of glowing red fruit in the Seven Lotus Mountain Range, and the greatest chance of appearing should be on the main peak in the middle, so I deliberately checked around the main peak no less than three or four times.
However, although there was no trace of human activity, I could see the beasts flashing in the jungle below from time to time, and of course, the rumored thick python was not seen.
"Forget it, it seems that you can't take this kind of shortcut to find my eldest brother, and after that immortal comes, let's enter this Seven Lotus Mountain Range together. ”
After Yu Wenze knew the hidden danger in the Seven Lotus Mountain Range, he didn't dare to go to search alone, except for waiting for the personal guards led by Ying Da, thinking about patiently waiting for the arrival of that immortal.
This time back in the Imperial City, the chosen landing location is, of course, near the Imperial Palace.
As soon as he came to the palace gate, there was a chamberlain who was already waiting there, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly greeted them.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, Lord Xueshan County, the villain was ordered by the emperor to let the two of them go to the Summer Palace. ”
"Good. ”
Walking a few steps inside, there was a sedan chair parked there, Zhang Xiaoxue and Yu Wenze, naturally sat on the sedan chair and were carried to the Summer Palace.
After entering the palace, I found that the emperor and the queen were both there, and after seeing Zhang Xiaoxue and them, they were all kind.
The queen asked with a smile on her face: "Aze, didn't you say that you should accompany the Xueshan County Lord to the Treasure Pavilion to choose a collection? Why haven't you accompanied the Xueshan County Lord to collect her reward in the afternoon?"
"I'll accompany Sister Xiaoxue later, I forgot about this stubble. ”
Hearing the queen mother's inquiry, Yu Wenze remembered that he hadn't done this matter well, and replied a little embarrassed, looking at Zhang Xiaoxue's gaze with an apology.
"Hehe, there's no hurry. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue didn't know what to say, she really didn't think about it.
"I'm not in a hurry to be here for a while, it's not too late to go after eating, where did Aze accompany Lord Xueshan in the afternoon?"
The emperor also asked with a smile.
"I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around the Imperial City. ”
Yu Wenze didn't want to expose Zhang Xiaoxue's flying magic weapon, and he didn't want to deceive his parents, so he could only answer vaguely.
"Okay, I'll let someone pass the meal, let's talk while eating. ”
The queen heard that her son was not willing to say more about this matter, and she knew the emperor very well after twenty years of husband and wife. Knowing that he just asked casually, he wouldn't delve into it, so he interjected at the right time.
After the meal, when the tea and fruit were served, the emperor asked Yu Wenze again, "What are you going to do tomorrow?"
Yu Wenze replied: "I want to accompany Sister Xiaoxue to the Slave Division first to help her choose some slaves, she is now promoted to the county master, and the number of slaves under her has increased a lot, Sister Xiaoxue especially likes those slaves who have skills, so I will go and slowly select some slaves tomorrow." ”
The emperor and the queen heard Yu Wenze call the lord of Xueshan sister Xiaoxue, and their tone was very cordial, and the two of them were also very supportive of this.
In their hearts, Zhang Xiaoxue's status is still very high, and she is polite when she talks to her, after all, people who know magic are equivalent to immortals in their hearts.
"Go and choose slaves? Haha! This is easy to do, the lord of Xueshan just needs to pick the slaves he likes, and I will give these slaves to the lord of Xueshan for free." ”
When the emperor heard this, it turned out to be the case, and immediately agreed happily, and the selected slaves were given to the lord of Xueshan for free.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue smiled and was not polite, and quickly thanked the emperor.
"By the way, why did I forget this, tomorrow when Aze helps Lord Xueshan choose slaves, by the way, he will also choose some strong slaves, and they will be well fed these days, and they will always be able to help when they go to the Seven Lotus Mountains together on that day." ”
When the emperor heard Yu Wenze talk about slaves, he suddenly remembered that although he couldn't send too many soldiers to the Seven Lotus Mountain Range to take risks.
In fact, there are many people with extraordinary martial arts among the slaves, but after becoming slaves, they may not eat well in the slave division and become thinner.
Thinking about feeding it well for a few days, it should be able to help a little by then, no matter how bad it is, with them rushing to the front, they can also act as cannon fodder, giving the people behind a chance to escape.
"Okay, then the slaves of my father are in my name?"
Yu Wenze listened to the emperor's suggestion and felt that it was okay, and when the time came, he would also be like the lord of Xueshan, and it would be good to choose them one by one.
I believe that among the slaves in the Slave Division, they are really capable and good, and when looking for the eldest brother, there is a group of slaves who completely obey the command, which is also a good help.
"Naturally, it will be recorded in your name, and if your second brother goes to the Seven Lotus Mountain Range to find your eldest brother, let him pick another batch of slaves. ”
It's just a few slaves, and the emperor doesn't care about it, especially if it's recorded in his son's name.
The emperor and Yu Wenze were discussing some other government affairs, but the queen did not snub Zhang Xiaoxue on the side, talked to her some gossip, and asked about Zhang Xiaoxue's family.
It's no secret, Zhang Xiaoxue answered the queen's inquiries one by one, and the queen listened to what Zhang Xiaoxue said, and she had a good impression of Zhang Xiaoxue's family.
She thinks that the family that raised such a kind little girl as Zhang Xiaoxue must have a good character.
During the speech, the queen asked people to serve some chilled watermelons, and explained to Zhang Xiaoxue that the watermelons were paid tribute from the Gali Kingdom, and they tasted good, a very sweet fruit, and they were chilled, and they tasted cold and sweet, very delicious.
Zhang Xiaoxue picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it, without explaining that she had eaten this fruit, and sure enough, although it was a tribute from the Gali Kingdom, the taste was still worse than the watermelon produced on her farm.
Eating a piece of watermelon, Zhang Xiaoxue ate a sense of superiority, and during this period, the queen asked the palace maid to take out the chilled grapes so that they could be used to entertain Zhang Xiaoxue.
Zhang Xiaoxue saw sharply that the beautiful palace maid took out a plate of cold grapes in an object similar to a refrigerator.
