Chapter XVIII

"What?" Wu Jinghong's eyes shrank, "He's locked up in a dungeon?" ”

"Yes, he seems to be injured, and I think you must be worried, girl, so I didn't tell you at first." Xiwen Dayu craned his neck and whispered, "But Adom just said that I shouldn't say it, let me tell you earlier, and see if you have a way to get the lord to let him go." ”

Wu Jinghong paused, looked at Xiwen Ayu, and sincerely thanked him, "Adom has helped us like this, thank you so much!" ”

"Hey, Adom is a good guy!" Xiwen Dayu laughed happily, "So everyone likes her very much, back then, Adom went to Dayuan alone for the rain country and the lord of the country!" ”

"Alone?" Suddenly, the impression of the girl from the rain country described by Si Luo popped up from his mind, and Wu Jinghong weighed it in his heart, could it be that Si Luo's mother saved this Adom back then?

"Yes, it's been more than ten years, listen to my aunt, Adom was not even ten years old back then, but in order to successfully ascend the throne of the country, he went to Dayuan alone."

"Didn't she tell you about her trip to Ohara?"

"I haven't heard anyone say it, and Adom doesn't talk much about himself."

"Then do you know what she was doing in Ohara?"

Xiwen Ayu frowned and thought about it, and shook his head, "Ah Niang said that the lord of the country needs one thing to ascend the throne, but this thing has been lost to Dayuan, so Adom is looking for something." As for what to look for, no one knows. ”

So mysterious? Wu Jinghong's eyes deepened, looking at the current state, Adom's task should have been successfully completed. However, what else she did in Ohara, and who she met, these are still unknown.

"Ah, there's the Kokudo in front, I can't send you anymore." Xiwen Ayu stopped, turned around and looked at Wu Jinghong with some concern, "The lord of the country has not been in a good mood in recent days, you must be careful." But don't worry, our lord is also a good person and will not hurt you. ”

Wu Jinghong smiled lightly and nodded, "Thank you, and thank you Adom." ”

"Hehe, Adom also said that the Gu poison flowed out of the rain country, and it is actually natural for you to go to the Gu country, but the lord of the country stubbornly did not listen to the advice. Adom tells you not to worry too much, she will fight for you! ”

Wu Jinghong can only smile back, this Adom is too good to the Great Plains, right? Is she so kind herself, or is it due to her responsibility as a person from the rain country? Or is this Gu poison flowing in Dayuan actually related to her?

In Xiwen Ayu's gaze, Wu Jinghong straightened his clothes slightly, and walked calmly towards the national hall alone.

The so-called national hall is a high-rise building with black walls and blue tiles, compared to other bamboo and wood houses, this high-rise building is indeed magnificent and looks relatively strong.

Before she could enter the dark door, Wu Jinghong froze, there were no guards, no soldiers, the door was open like this, but she had a feeling that she seemed to be stared at by thousands of pairs of eyes.

These thousands of pairs of eyes are ill-intentioned, even cold. Wu Jinghong's pace slowed down, she didn't want to show her timidity to this lord before they met, but she couldn't just fall into the pit casually.

"Why don't you come in?"

The voice was low and powerful, and at the end it drifted high through the door with a long tail note.

Wu Jinghong froze, his pace steady, and he walked through the door calmly.

Looking inside the door, this building is really standing high in this green forest, Wu Jinghong raised his head, probably because he was too close, so he could hardly see the top.

Continuing on, through the porch, another door appeared, but this time a maid-like figure stood in the doorway to greet him.

"Girl, please come with me." This maid was dressed in the same way as Xiwen Ayu, but her eyebrows were more docile, and she kept her head slightly down, not looking at her.

Wu Jinghong did not speak, but followed the direction of the maid into the door, bypassed several large pillars, passed through a quiet corridor, and then came to the long staircase.

"Please go upstairs by yourself, and the lord of the country will rest in the main hall." The maid quickly bent down and retreated.

Obviously there was no one around, but the feeling of being stared at by countless eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and Wu Jinghong frowned, climbing the stairs while guarding against the mutation.

But obviously, it was she who was too worried, although the stairs were very long, and she had to climb hard for a long time, but she went all the way smoothly, and nothing strange happened, so she came to the main hall safely.

The main hall was empty, the gray color was not bright, and she saw at a glance the man who was leaning high on the skylight.

"It's hard for you, longevity Gu makes people live like a year, you can still run all the way around begging for Gu, it's really respectable!"

He spoke, and the voice she had heard outside the building, low and gruff, with the majesty of the twelve-point superior.

Wu Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and calmed his breath, and then slowly looked at the man.

The square face of the Chinese character, the eye sockets are inverted, a pair of light-colored eyes appear brighter in the dim environment, and the thick tendrils under the nose hide the lips in it.

His dress was more similar to that of Adom, his tall physique was lined by the heavy red robe, and his hair color was as light as his eyes, and he was scattered and draped on the red robe.

"The princess of Yunguo has seen the lord of the country."

After looking at it, Wu Jinghong saluted him without hurry, just squatted and bowed his head, and then said, "Jinghong was accidentally killed by someone, and he was poisoned by a strange poison in his body, and he survived for three years with the help of the holy doctor. Later, when he heard that the poison of the rain country was the first in the world, he kept coming day and night to solve it. ”

The lord of the country stood up from the high seat with a blank face and walked down the high platform slowly step by step.

"Unexpectedly, the people of the rain country are so powerful, they can see at a glance what kind of Gu poison I have in my body, and they have persuaded me to come to the lord of the country, claiming that the lord of the country is the most merciful, and he will definitely order someone to go to Gu for me."

Seeing that the lord of the country was getting closer and closer to him, the corners of Wu Jinghong's mouth twitched, but he still said calmly.

She was now finally sure where all the nervous stares on her body were coming from.

The closer the lord got to her, the more clearly she could feel the joy and anger of her eyes, and even heard the soft sound of rustling.

"Kindness? Well? The lord of the kingdom walked around the dance and walked back to the high platform slowly, "They all told you that?" How is it that the Lord has never heard such a thing be spoken? ”

The oppression decreased slightly, and Wu Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought that the lord of the country would not question the words of praise." ”

"Hmph, compliment." The lord of the country snorted coldly, "You are not as good as that Dayuan man, you speak so vainly, sure enough, there is no good thing in Dayuan!" ”

This is too polite, Wu Jinghong's eyes flashed, is this lord of the country having an enmity with the people of Dayuan, or is he simply too stubborn?

"But what misunderstanding does the lord have about Ohara?"

"You're thinking too much." The lord of the country glanced at him contemptuously, "Seeing that you can't last a few days, why don't you go to the dungeon to accompany that Central Plains man!" ”

It seems that she doesn't want to talk about it anymore, but it ends like this, and she loses too much, right?

Wu Jinghong closed his eyes, and soon smiled lightly, "Since there is no misunderstanding, it must be that the lord of the country looks down on Dayuan, and yes, the Gu poison of the Rain Country is a sought-after thing in Dayuan, it seems that I should feel honored." ”

"Hmph." The lord of the country snorted lightly and shook his hand, "Don't be long-winded, go to the dungeon yourself, don't force Ben to be rough." ”

Wu Jinghong turned around to leave, but his mouth didn't stop, "No wonder the rain country doesn't even have horses, and the ground can't be walked, so there are few roads." To this day, they are still writing with bamboo and wood, and they are measured with knots, and the people will be terrified of the water source and will wait for the desert to spread. The land area is already very small, and if it shrinks like this, I am afraid that one day it will be submerged under the dust! ”

"Nonsense!"

The lord of the country was obviously angry, but he couldn't bear it and didn't get angry, just kept waving his hand, "Hurry up and take her away!" Take! Go and stay in the dungeon! ”

"Jinghong will leave immediately, Lord of the Kingdom, please take care, after all, your country's medical skills are also very backward, and it is easy to get sick." Wu Jinghong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at the two maids who suddenly appeared calmly, "How to get to the dungeon, please lead the way." ”

said that it was a dungeon, and Wu Jinghong thought it was dug underground, either dim and damp with insects and snakes all over the ground, or filthy and filthy, and stinking.

It's just that I didn't expect that the dungeon of the rain country was actually in the courtyard next to the back door of the national hall.

It looks like there are flowers and grass, insects and birds, sunshine, and small bamboo houses.

"Oh, you're here too?"

As soon as Wu Jinghong stepped into the courtyard, she heard Jiuzun's lazy voice, but she was startled when she followed the prestige - Jiuzun was almost lying on the roof in embarrassment, his face was pale, and his clothes were in tatters.

"You're ......"

"Oh, who do you think brought you here when you were lying in the desert?" Jiuzun unabashedly spread his arms to show off his tattered clothes.

"What's wrong with your arm?" Although Wu Jinghong was surprised by his embarrassment, he was quickly distracted by the pair of arms that were simply wrapped in bandages, "Are you injured?" ”

Is there a criminal law here? Why is there blood oozing out of the bandage? Wu Jinghong's gaze wandered over him little by little, and she was completely sure that Jiuzun's body had lost too much blood now.

"Well, there's a little wound on this." Jiuzun shrugged with a bitter face, "You see, it's not easy to come here. ”

That's true, but how did he get hurt? Wu Jinghong doesn't ask questions anymore, she has always liked to think about problems by herself, not to mention that Jiuzun doesn't look like she will answer truthfully when she asks.

"Anyway, this trip to the Rain Country is thanks to you."

Jiuzun jumped down from the roof gently, and when he landed on the ground, his feet shook unsteadily, Wu Jinghong only didn't see it, Wu took out a robe from the package he was carrying, "This is the men's clothes I prepared for myself after going to Gu, you go and change into it first, and this wound must also be treated." ”
