Chapter 57: Breakthrough on the way
Meng Liang didn't know much about the details of the ghost hand, that is, Miao Lanlan, he only knew that this person was ordered by the prince to come to Yuzhou City to do business.
The Ghost Hand never told him anything more specific, and although he had investigated it privately, he didn't get much useful information in the end.
Originally, as the city lord of one side, his rights and position were higher than those of the ghost hand alone, but when the ghost hand brought up the matter of this ancient ruin, her position in Meng Liang's heart was immediately different.
Think about it, the candidate who can be so trusted by the prince and entrusted with important tasks is definitely his cronies!
Before that, Meng Liang didn't take the ghost hand too seriously and didn't take it seriously, but now that he figured it out, he immediately lowered his posture and replied politely
"Since the secret envoy has the right to decide such a big matter, can you agree to Meng Mou to take me to see the legendary ancient ruins? I won't tell you, although I have been the city lord of Yuzhou City for a long time, I have never seen any big scenes at all, and even the imperial city has only been to it two or three times. If I can see the style of the ancient ruins, then I will have the capital to be proud of for the rest of my life!"
Seeing this guy's face change so quickly, Xiao Liu was also quite speechless, but the ghost hand had already expected this, and she didn't even change the tone of her voice in the slightest, and immediately nodded
"That's why I'm here for you. The prince said that if you have to go to investigate deeply, it is best to take you with you, and the three of us will cooperate to ensure a certain amount of safety. It's good to do a good job of the things that the prince has explained. ”
The ghost hand opened and closed his mouth and closed his mouth, which made Meng Liang believe in his inference even more, this secret envoy he had never seen before was definitely a powerful confidant of the prince's side!
So he nodded again and again, and said a little excitedly
"This is Meng's honor! The prince can think of being in the next place, so that he can do something for him, Meng is duty-bound! Then the two of you will have a lot of forbearance along the way. Hahaha!"
Meng Liang was in a good mood at this time, although he didn't catch and get rid of Xiao Liu Shi Song and them, but now a bigger pie fell from the sky and immediately knocked him out.
The four words "Ancient Ruins" have such magic, whether it is a brick or a tile or anything else, it has been preserved through countless years.
Anything that can stand up to the washing of time is definitely a treasure!
In fact, don't look at what Meng Liang said on his lips, he said that he was working for the prince and the like, but in fact, the ideas and thoughts in his heart were similar to those of Xiaoliu.
As the saying goes, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves!
Serving the crown prince does give them higher power and status, but it is all given by others after all!
The prince can give them glory and wealth today, and tomorrow he may deprive them of all this, and even their lives can be taken at any time!
And this opportunity to explore the ancient ruins, as long as you can get a little bit of your own useful treasure, it is enough to be used for life, compared to the two, Meng Liang naturally chose to fill his pocket as much as possible unconsciously.
The combination of the three of them, in fact, is the only one who is really loyal to the prince and wants to do things for him.
In this regard, Miao Lanlan didn't know how much she had guessed in her heart, but at least on the surface, they hit it off now.
"Secret envoy, I don't know when I plan to leave? Meng can arrange a means of transportation to avoid the hardships on the road. Oh, the secret envoy can rest assured, Meng knows the proportions, God knows that you know what I know, and it won't reach the ears of more people!"
Meng Liang is now acting very honest and respectful, the resources in his hands are definitely much richer than those of foreign ghost hands, and it is appropriate for him to arrange everything, so Miao Lanlan nodded slightly and agreed
"Then arrange it immediately, the night is long and there are many dreams, let's leave as soon as possible!"
Of course, Meng Liang was very happy when he heard this, and he was about to arrange the trip immediately, but before leaving, he paused and looked at Xiao Liu
"Secret envoy, this brother seems to be very angry, if he also goes with us, should he introduce me to each other so that we can get acquainted with each other?"
Meng Liang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, but Xiao Liu was unmoved by his gaze, and he didn't open his mouth as if he was too lazy to introduce himself.
The ghost hand on the side spoke for him
"This Brother Xiao was specially assigned by the prince to complete this task with me, so you can cooperate well in the future. ”
As soon as Meng Liang heard that it was someone appointed by the prince, he put away all his suspicions, and said a few polite words with a smile on his face, while Xiao Liu replied casually and didn't say much.
Meng Liang didn't care, at least he didn't care on his face, he turned around and rushed back not long after leaving, and at the same time greeted him
"Two secret envoys, I have prepared the dragon phosphorus carriage, let's go!"
Miao Lanlan nodded when she heard this, and followed Meng Liang out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with Xiao Liu, there were three carriages parked outside the door, the carriage of the carriage was very spacious, and the most special thing was the horse that pulled the carriage, which was a yellow-level demon beast named Dragon Scale Horse!
This horse has a lot of stamina and a fast foot, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can travel thousands of miles in a day.
Xiao Liu had never seen this kind of car pulled by a demon beast, but he was playing someone else now, so naturally he couldn't show flaws.
The most strange thing for him and the ghost hand was that it would be good for the three of them to share one of these spacious carriages, why did Meng Liang deliberately prepare as many as three? Could it be that they each had to ride in a carriage? That would be a bit too wasteful, right?
Meng Liang saw that the ghost hand and Xiao Liu looked at him with a strange gaze, and immediately knew what they wanted to ask, he hurriedly took two steps forward and explained in a low voice
"Two envoys, I specially ordered someone to prepare three carriages, and I also considered it. I don't know how much time it will take on the road, and if we huddle together, it will inevitably affect our rest, so that we will not be able to ensure that our physical strength and spirit are fully sufficient when we get to the place, will we? If you don't like this, then I will immediately order the two extra carriages to be removed, and the three of us will be all together. ”
Hearing Meng Liang say this, Xiao Liu immediately thought of the Zhuangyuan grass on his body that had not yet been used, if he took this thing on the way, and then absorbed and refined, wouldn't it be able to make him even more powerful before he reached the ruins?
Thinking of this, Xiao Liu hurriedly said in a changed voice
"City Lord Meng is thoughtful, just do as you say. ”
The ghost hand on the side was also thinking about whether she needed three carriages as much, and wanted her to squeeze together with Meng Liang, but in fact, she didn't want to.
After hearing Xiao Liu's words, the ghost waved his hand and continued
"In my opinion, Brother Xiao and I can take one car, and City Lord Meng, you can take a carriage alone. Let the one that was saved be removed. ”
The ghost hand has the most say among the three, Meng Liang nodded and complied, Xiao Liu didn't understand why Miao Lanlan had to be with him, but he couldn't refute it in front of Meng Liang.
So the matter was settled, the three of them got into their own car, Meng Liang was in the back, and Miao Lanlan and Xiaoliu took the carriage in front, because only she knew the way to the ruins.
Before getting into the car, Xiao Liu noticed that the coachmen in charge of the two carriages were two old men, and he couldn't feel any cultivation on them, and when the ghost hand talked to them, the two coachmen didn't react at all.
Meng Liang explained with a smile
"Secret envoy, in order to conceal myself, I specially found two deaf and mute people as coachmen. That way, they won't be able to divulge our secrets. No matter what we say or do along the way, no one else will know, so the secret envoy can rest assured this time, right?"
Meng Liang was really thoughtful, so the ghost pointed in a direction, and the driver drove the dragon scale horse away.
"Sister Lan, is this Meng Liang really reliable?"
After getting on the train, the inside of the carriage was very luxurious, and Xiao Liu was not in the mood to appreciate and enjoy it, so he immediately asked.
"Don't worry, no matter what he says, he is also the prince's person, and he doesn't have the courage to harm us!"
Seeing that Miao Lanlan was very sure, Xiao Liu didn't say much, but he always had great vigilance in his heart about Meng Liang, a guy who wanted to use himself and get rid of him, since Miao Lanlan didn't worry about what tricks he was doing, Xiao Liu had to bury this vigilance in his heart.
Meng Liang was sitting alone in his comfortable and luxurious carriage at this time, with a very strange smile on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Sister Lan, how long will it take for us to go? I have a companion waiting for me to pick her up in the southern mountains......
Hearing Xiao Liu's words, Miao Lanlan chuckled and replied
"You're talking about your little girlfriend, right? Brother, you're an amorous seed, and with my sister, I'm still thinking about others!"
Xiaoliu was embarrassed by her teasing, and Miao Lanlan continued without waiting for him to defend
"Don't worry, if it goes well, we'll be back in three days...... Of course, the premise is that the trip goes smoothly......"
Xiao Liu only took three days when he heard it, and he let go of his worries about Luo Yu in his heart, he didn't hear the implicit meaning of Miao Lanlan's words.
Dragonscale horses are indeed extremely fast, and even with a cart in tow, they can maintain a speed of six or seven hundred miles a day.
Soon after the carriage set off, Xiao Liu told Miao Lanlan that he wanted to cultivate, and then he took out the Zhuang Yuan grass and ate it, and then began to exercise pranayama and dissolve the medicinal power of the medicine.
Miao Lanlan's eyes lit up when she saw Zhuang Yuancao, but she didn't say much, just quietly watched Xiao Liu's cultivation.
Soon Xiao Liu entered the state, and the Zhuang Yuan grass that he ate exuded abundant vitality in his abdomen, and Xiao Liu ran the Illusion Demon Heavenly Code to incorporate the wisps of vitality that emerged into the dantian.
The cultivation of the human immortal realm is nothing more than the understanding of the vitality and the storage of the vitality, when the refined vitality reserves in the dantian reach a certain level, it is very natural, Xiaoliu has entered the second level of the human immortal realm, and his strength has taken a step further!
