Chapter One Hundred and Four: Another Village
The snow covered the Great Wilderness, and it seemed that there was only one color left between heaven and earth, an ominous tranquility. Everything was wrapped in silence, as if the sound of wind, water, and insects disappeared in an instant...... Everything is suffocating, the silent world is maddening, and the sudden absence of conflict is even more unbelievable and embattled.
Hua Xu's Julong was already waiting impatiently in the study. I am impatient but there is nowhere to vent, only the daily transmission of books with the rumors of Hongyan can give me a little more comfort. It's just about a country, Julong is still wary, and the paper kite who is still talking about some trivial things in life and the pain of missing, but he has never touched the part of his heart that hides the biggest secret. When it comes to Chiyou's survival, the less people know about it, the better.
"Haven't you heard from the people who sent out yet?" Julong asked Houtu, who was standing behind him.
"Not yet. But you can rest assured, I'm afraid that if Chi You is really alive, and no one will be left behind after discovering our people, I also specially sent three teams of people to use different strategies to inquire. Perhaps, it just took a long time. ”
"It was better to do so! Chi You is the only force that is strong enough to compete with the Yellow Emperor! Ju Long slammed his fist on the case.
"Where's Xuanyuan over there? Hasn't she been inquiring about the Yellow Emperor's movements for us all along? Why hasn't there been any news from her lately? She won't be ...... It can't be another temporary defection, right? ”
"No, it won't. At least that's what I believe in her. It's just that I thought, she must have run into a tricky problem too. After all, the Great Wilderness has been surprisingly quiet recently, and the Yellow Emperor has unusually no movement, unlike his style. Even the Qingyu Book did not see him send people to pursue...... The old fox couldn't tell what he was plotting about. It is best not to be discovered by the Yellow Emperor, it is our luck. Otherwise......"
"Actually, I've always suggested taking the Qingyu Book! Chi You's life and death are uncertain, but the Shangqing Jade Book does have an exact whereabouts, and this is the weapon to defeat the Yellow Emperor! ”
"The men you sent were all gone. You've also fought against Qi, don't you know how difficult this step is? Even a second loss is not a match for a rampant. However, having said that, I have always felt very strange, since the demon clan has seized the Shangqing Jade Book, why don't they see any abnormal movements? Isn't that weird? ”
"Are you suspicious that the Shangqing Jade Book is still in the hands of the Demon Qi King? But the Wu clan doesn't necessarily move! ”
"That's what I think is the most wrong. Whoever holds the Shangyu Book should not be like this...... The recent wilderness is quiet! ”
"Your Majesty!" A small guy outside the door lowered his hand and said, "The generals have returned." ”
"Let them in!" Julong looked at Houtu with a smile, and Houtu smiled: "Finally back!" ”
One in front of the other and two behind, three generals dressed in poor coarse clothes walked in proudly. Even plain clothes can't hide their pride and ambition from the inside out. Julong held them up before they knelt on the ground and saluted, and hurriedly said, "You don't need these false courtesies. Explain the situation to me word for word! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The bearded bearded general in the lead said, "The subordinate was responsible for tracking the source of the anonymous letter that night, and later the subordinate found the boy who put the letterhead at the palace gate, only to find that he was actually a puppet conjured by witchcraft. The subordinates went to the Wu tribe, infiltrated the wizards, and eavesdropped on the conversation between the Demon Qi King and others one night, only to learn that Chiyou was hiding in the Chiyou village. The subordinates rushed immediately, but they have not seen Chiyou himself so far. ”
As soon as the bearded general finished speaking, the dark-skinned general on the left side followed suit: "The subordinates contacted many informants through underground connections, and only then did they learn that Chiyou is very likely to be hiding in Zhongshan, Wushen Mountain, Chiyou Village and the Wu tribe. The subordinates investigated one by one, and finally heard the gossip of the farmers in Chiyou Village, and Chiyou is the most likely to be in Chiyou Village! ”
The general on the right stepped out of the column and said, "The subordinate generation collects all the rumors and anecdotes about Chiyou, and excludes irrelevant details. In the end, it was found that Chiyou had a close relationship with the Wu Clan, and the Wu Clan was once named the Jiuli Clan by Chiyou, so the first thing his subordinates went to was the Wu Clan. After discovering that there was no news, it was discovered that Chiyou had saved the Terran tribe during the war between Zhurong and Gonggong, and later the tribe was named after Chiyou Village. The subordinates went non-stop and finally found some clues. ”
"What kind of clues?" Julong leaned forward slightly, and asked impatiently.
"My subordinates once met the Demon Qi King in Chiyou Village." "And many times at night." Because the Demon Qi King was jumping too fast, his subordinates knew that they couldn't catch up, so they hurriedly configured a potion that could be tracked, and when he was walking on the street one night, he pretended to be drunk and sprinkled the potion on him. Others are unknowable, and only their own spiritual powers can identify it. The subordinates followed up and saw Chiyou! ”
"What! Did you see Chiyou? Julong and Houtu are almost in unison.
"Exactly, Your Majesty."
"Then you know where Chiyou is?" Julong asked.
"Subordinates can draw instructions for His Majesty." Hearing this, Julong let go of the case and motioned for him to come over. And said to the other two generals: "The two of you have also worked hard, you can go down to rest first, and the reward will come later." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Houtu looked at them in the distance, leaned down to Julong's ear and said, "Are you going to Chiyou Village in person?" ”
"After all, Chi You is the only weapon to destroy the Yellow Emperor. Now that the beast bow is in his hands, he must also have an idea to destroy Xuanyuan. I just wanted to talk to him, and if we could join forces with him, we would have a much better chance of winning. ”
"However, what I suspect is that Chi You is Emperor Yan's person after all, why didn't Emperor Yan look for him? And why didn't Chi You contact Emperor Yan? ”
"Emperor Yan has always had no intention of famine, and Zhuolu in World War II was also provoked by Chiyou. Maybe Chi You just felt that Emperor Yan had few desires and was unwilling to entrust him, so it was better to revolt himself, and he couldn't say. ”
After hearing this, Houtu nodded slightly, and said again: "Do you want to inform Xuanyuan Lu about this matter?" ”
"Never! So far, we don't know what happened to her, and naturally it is not ruled out that the Yellow Emperor put her under house arrest. If we make hasty contact and are accidentally intercepted by the Yellow Emperor, we will fall short. ”
Julong said, and the general who had seen Chi You also presented the scroll with both hands. After glancing at it, Julong kindly ordered him to go back and rest. Houtu closed the door after he left, and whispered to Julong, "When will you leave?" ”
"The sooner the better, tonight."
"I'll go with you."
"No, Hua Xu can't be left alone. You're the only person I trust right now! ”
Houtu patted Julong on the shoulders and said meaningfully: "Don't worry!" ”
