Chapter 55: A Half-Year Appointment
It took three days to take a carriage from the Jade Dragon Villa to the Dragon Slaying Valley, but in these three days, the Elf King had already received a secret report from the Jade Dragon Villa, and he quickly found out about Liang and Lin's father and daughter, and a series of punishments followed. Since the third day when Duan Feng and the others left the Jade Dragon Villa, the Elf King sent someone to take over the defense of the Ancient Stone City and arrested Liang and Lin's father and daughter.
Duan Feng knew that he had caused them to be involved, but given that the Elf King had already prepared, he was afraid that rushing to rescue them would harm them.
"Then we can't sit still!" Liu Wenfei said anxiously.
"Don't worry, there will be a way. โ
"Can I not be in a hurry? At this time, because of us, we can't let others carry the black pot for us, right?"
"In this case, you stay here for a while, and I will send someone down the mountain to inquire about the news, and you are planning with the news. Tianwen sent two children down the mountain to find out the news.
After a while, the person who inquired about the news came back with a notice. It said that within three days, Duan Feng and the others should go to the palace to surrender, otherwise they would kill all the qi and Liang's father and daughter.
Duan Feng saw it and urgently discussed countermeasures with everyone. At this time, Tianwen next to him stroked his snow-white beard and said thoughtfully: "I have a way, I don't know what you think?"
Duan Feng asked, "What way?"
Tianwen said: "The elf king has a daughter, named Zheng, Zheng has been weak and sickly since she was a child, and the elf king only has this one daughter, so he regards it as a treasure, so if we can ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Speaking of this, everyone understood the meaning of Tianwen.
"Okay! I can only do this!" Liu Wenfei hurriedly replied.
Duan Feng thought to himself: "What's wrong with Fei'er, in the past, he was timid and soft-hearted in doing things, what's wrong today?"
Although I think so in my heart, there is no other way now, and I don't care about morality. But the question is, how can you get close to the kite?
At this time, Tianwen said: "I can approach her, it just so happens that I am going to enter the palace to regulate my body in the next few days, and I can bring two of you in as my assistants." โ
Han Qing first asked to follow Tianwen into the palace, because Han Qing was worried that Duan Feng would be soft when he arrived, so he preemptively proposed it.
And Duan Feng and Liu Wenfei followed Tianwen behind, secretly infiltrated the palace, and seized the opportunity, if they could rescue Lin, it would be better, even if they couldn't save it, they could have a response.
Liu Wenfei did not object, so everyone prepared separately, and the other person, Tianwen, brought Du Tong, because Tianwen wanted Du Tong to be his successor, which Duan Feng knew in his heart, so he had no objection.
The plan went very smoothly, Han Qing followed Tianwen into the palace, and took advantage of Tianwen's treatment of the princess, Han Qing successfully hijacked the princess Zheng.
The elf king was furious about this, and immediately sent people to surround the princess's dormitory, the princess's dormitory is a set of three-story wooden palaces, and is also equipped with two pavilions around, located on an independent mountain pillar, the mountain pillar is as high as a hundred zhang, surrounded by an abyss, only a hundreds of zhang iron lock bridge connects the dormitory with the outside world, Han Qing, Tianwen, and Du Tong are besieged in the princess's dormitory.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and Han Qing asked the Elf King to release Liang and Lin and the other Qi Masters, but the Elf King only promised to release Liang and his daughter, and as for the other Qi Masters, the Elf King did not release them.
Negotiations are at an impasse.
At this time, Duan Feng and Liu Wenfei came to the palace and joined the negotiations. The negotiations took place in the Purple Gold Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, which was the place where the Elf King usually worked, and there were not many soldiers, but from the news of various organs around it, it could be seen that the guards here were by no means weaker than any Imperial Palace, not to mention that there were many hidden organs that they could not see.
But the red flames erupting from the mouths of the four stone beasts lined up side by side at the entrance of the palace were enough to burn the intruder to ashes, and the stone pillars inside the palace were not densely packed with small holes, which were the holes for firing arrows, and in front of the elf king, which was more than a zhang away from the elf king, was a transparent golden barrier, completely separating the elf king from the outside world.
Han Qing and the others came to the Purple Gold Pavilion to make peace with Duan Feng under the siege of the group.
The Elf King was not surprised that Duan Feng and the others knew about the shady things, but Duan Feng felt strange that the Elf King seemed to know his whereabouts well.
Duan Feng said: "We have no malicious intent in kidnapping the princess, we just hope that the king can release the Liang father and daughter and the other qi masters, and then send us out of the Far North Domain." โ
Hong said, "I can release Father and Daughter Liang, but the Qi Master can't. โ
Han Qing said, "Doesn't the king care about his daughter?"
Saying that, Duan Feng looked at Du Tong and Zheng, as Kai said, Zheng is indeed frail and sickly, along the way, coupled with excessive fright, Zheng's physical condition is even worse, coughing non-stop, and has been taken care of by Du Tong.
At this time, Du Tong didn't seem to come to kidnap but to treat the disease, so Zheng was not only not afraid of Du Tong, but was a little dependent. Seeing Han Qing's eyes, Zheng subconsciously hid behind Du Tong.
Hiroshi looked at his daughter, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, and said: "For the sake of the koto, I can even give up the throne, but, as a king, I must be responsible for my own people." Since you know what is going on behind the scenes, then you should know my determination. โ
Duan Feng said: "There must be other ways, and it doesn't have to be killing." โ
Hong said: "There is a way, but we can't do it, and you can't do it." โ
Duan Feng said: "As long as there is a way, there is nothing that cannot be done, the king might as well talk about it." โ
Hong said: "In order to stop the degradation of the shady curtain, in addition to continuously injecting qi yuan into the shady curtain, there is another way, that is, to collect the seven swords of the demon realm, and then the combination of the seven swords will form a powerful force of Tian Yuan, and injecting the power of Tian Yuan into the black curtain can prevent the degradation of the shady curtain." โ
"The Seven Swords of the Demon Realm?" Duan Feng said.
"Yes. The Seven Swords of the Demon World are the seven swords that the Emperor of Heaven cultivated in the human world before becoming an immortal, and later stole by the Demon Venerable, who injected his Tianyuan power into the Seven Swords, and placed them at the seven entrances of the Demon World to resist the attack of the Heavenly Soldiers, but then the Demon Venerable was defeated, and the Seven Swords were nowhere to be found. โ
Duan Feng said, "If you find the Seven Swords of the Demon Realm, will you be able to stop the degradation of the shady curtain?"
Hong thought for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that this is the case. โ
Duan Feng said, "In that case, why didn't you go to find the Seven Swords and use such cruel methods instead?"
Hong said: "According to our agreement with the Emperor of Heaven, the elves are not allowed to leave the Far North Domain, and they are not allowed to come into contact with the human race, so even if we have the heart to find it, there is nothing we can do. โ
Duan Feng thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, we can make a deal." It's up to us to help you find the Seven Swords, but you'll have to keep those Qi Masters safe. โ
Hiroshi said, "It's too late, we don't have time, and even if we have enough time, who can guarantee that you can really find the Seven Swords?"
Duan Feng said: "If you don't give it a try, how do you know that it won't work? Besides, the king doesn't seem to have any other choice." โ
Hong looked at the Zheng, the father and daughter looked at each other, the Zheng has no opinion on this kind of transaction, since he was a child, he has been instilled with the idea of a king, the king has no personal affairs, everything she has to be responsible for the people, if this can save the elf race, she will not have any objections, although Hong is reluctant, but for the continuation of the race, he has to make up his mind.
Hong turned around and discussed with the person next to him, and said, "In that case, how can I trust you?"
At this time, Liu Wenfei stood up and said, "I will stay with those Qi Masters as hostages, and now the king can rest assured, but you must release the father and daughter." โ
Duan Feng looked at Liu Wenfei gratefully, but he didn't expect that Liu Wenfei, who was usually timid and scared, would take the initiative to stand up today, which made Duan Feng very pleased, although he knew that Liu Wenfei stayed because of Lin.
Hong thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I can also give you a chance." โ
"But we must also have a guarantee that the king will keep his promise. Han Qing said.
"What guarantees?" Macro asked.
Han Qing looked at the zither and said, "We must take the princess away." โ
Macro said: "Absolutely not, the elves must not leave the Far North. โ
Han Qing said: "This is our bottom line, otherwise how can we trust the king? Besides, the elves really haven't left the Extreme North Domain?"
Hong knew in his heart that Han Qing was referring to the ghost market, so he said: "Zheng is weak and sick, if I go out with you, I'm afraid there will be something wrong." โ
Duan Feng said: "It doesn't matter, we can take Tianwen seniors with us, and we can take care of the princess's body at any time at that time, and I can assure you that as long as I am here, I will never let anyone hurt the princess." โ
Hong said: "Tianwen can't leave!"
Duan Feng said, "Why?"
Macro didn't answer, but groaned.
Duan Feng said: "We also have a doctor, this person is a disciple of Tianwen's predecessors, he has the true inheritance of Tianwen, and his medical skills are also very skillful, so there should be no problem in taking care of the princess." โ
At this time, Du Tong stood up and said, "I will definitely do my best to ensure the safety of the princess." โ
Hong looked at Zheng worriedly, there was no fear in her eyes, she just looked at him indifferently, Hong's heart sank, and said: "Even if it is so, it can only be like this." โ
Duan Feng suddenly asked, "But there is one thing we need your help with, none of us have ever seen a magic sword, and even if we do, we may not be able to recognize it." โ
"It's easy. โ
Hongming took out a compass-like thing and said, "This is the magic probe needle, which we specially designed for finding the magic sword, but it has not been used for hundreds of years, and it happened to be given to you today." If you encounter a magic sword, the pointer on it will rotate rapidly, and it will point to the location of the magic sword, but the magic sword will only exude magic when it encounters blood, so your mission is not only to find the magic sword, but also to experience several fierce battles. โ
Duan Feng took the compass and handed it to Han Qing.
"You don't have to worry about this, since we agreed to your request, we will definitely bring the magic sword back, as long as we keep our promises to each other, I think this matter will have a happy ending. โ
"I hope so, but you only have half a year, and after half a year, if the magic sword comes out, then I can only solve the shady problem in my own way. As he spoke, Hiroshi looked at the zither guiltily.
"A word is a deal!" Duan Feng led everyone back to Dragon Slaying Valley.
