Chapter 1108: Dead
If the impression of the West Demon Jing is grand, then the first word that comes to mind in the East Demon Jing is steep.
I don't know in order to make the East Demon Jing safer, so the original builder built it in a lofty mountain, which makes the East Demon Jing have a pattern of seven mountains and five rivers, and the momentum is really extraordinary.
But it makes the people of the demon clan who want to enter Beijing suffer a lot, and the continuous mountains and steep mountains and rivers are really easy to make people feel discouraged.
Among the five rivers, there are two mountains and rivers that are more peculiar, one on the left and one on the right are located on both sides of the East Demon Capital, like two thick arms encircling them.
These two mountains and rivers have certainly become the places that must be passed when entering Beijing, and Qingyun City, where the two mountains and rivers meet, has also become a place where more than seventy percent of the demon clan must stop before entering Beijing.
Therefore, Qingyun City has many other names, such as the portal of the magic capital, the little magic capital and so on.
Because of its special location, Qingyun City has become one of the most prosperous among the many cities around the East Demon Capital.
With nearly 10 million people living here all year round, and millions more coming and going every day, the bustle is the first impression it gives to anyone who is new to it.
Xia Fan was located in a time-honored store called Yun Jin Ji in Qingyun City at this time.
It is said that it has lasted for more than 600 years since its founding. For cultivators, six hundred years is already quite a long time, especially for ordinary people, and it is naturally not easy to inherit a shop for such a long time.
The things that Yun Jin Kee sells are actually not rare things, neither magic weapons, nor elixirs, nor things like talismans, but just all kinds of delicious preserved fruits.
Because of its unique flavor, it is particularly popular. The reason why Xia Fan appeared here was naturally because he came here and wanted to buy some and bring them back to Yukong Yue to taste. Because he once remembered that Yu Kongyue mentioned that the preserved fruits of this Yun Jin Ji were very delicious, and he also said that if he had the opportunity to come to the Eastern Demon Realm, he would definitely buy some.
Since he wanted to buy it, Xia Fan couldn't just buy it for Yukong Yue, so he spent a lot of spiritual jade and bought hundreds of catties of preserved fruits of various colors, in addition to Yukong Yue, there were also Yunxi Fairy and Qinglian Daonu and others.
The guys of Yun Kum Kee are obviously used to this kind of patron who buys hundreds of catties of preserved fruits at once, so no one is surprised by this.
Xia Fan put the packed preserved fruits into the storage bag and paid the bill, and then turned around and walked out of Yun Jinji.
At this time, it was raining in Qingyun City, Xia Fan was holding a delicate oil-paper umbrella in his hand, walking in the fine rain, listening to the rustle of raindrops on the umbrella surface, and suddenly had a sense of tranquility and distancing in his heart.
After crossing a street, I turned into a long alley, and after walking a short distance, there was a noodle restaurant.
Maybe it's raining, or maybe it's not yet time to eat, and the noodle shop is a little deserted, with only a few customers.
After Xia Fan entered, he sat down in front of a middle-aged man who had just finished eating noodles and was snoring and drinking noodle soup in Xili, and said, "It's just a bowl of noodles, do you need to come so far away?"
"It's a little far, but it's worth it. The middle-aged man didn't look up, keeping his attention on the soup in the bowl, but he didn't delay speaking. "Why don't you have a bowl to try?"
"I'll forget it. Xia Fan shook his head and said straight to the point: "Have you collected all the things I want?"
"Naturally, it's all together, otherwise how dare you come all the way here. The middle-aged man finished the last mouthful of noodle soup, put the bowl in his hand on the table, raised his head and looked at Xia Fan and said, "The location of the Prince's Mansion is not a secret, but there is very little information about the eldest princess, I am afraid that it will disappoint the adults quite a bit." ”
"Can't find out her whereabouts?" Xia Fan asked with a frown.
"It's not...... My lord, I heard that the eldest princess you mentioned is dead. The middle-aged man said.
"Dead. How did you die, when did you die?" Xia Fan was startled, and his face couldn't help but change. Under the disturbance of his breath, even the wind and rain outside became much more violent than before.
He never thought that he had come from afar and heard such news. He couldn't help but wonder if this matter would have something to do with the Imperial Firmament, otherwise how would he deal with him.
"Don't worry, this was more than ten years ago. The middle-aged man felt the change in Xia Fan's breath, and hurriedly said: "The eldest princess I am talking about is the same as you said, she is the sister of the current Demon Emperor, I heard that she was quite favored by the late Demon Emperor, but I don't know why she suddenly died of illness more than ten years ago, and was later buried in the wind and snow. And that's one of the weird things. ”
"What's weird?" After Xia Fan heard this so-called cause of death, he felt that most of this information was fake, because if he extrapolated from his age, his mother must have been alive at that time.
However, since the demon royal family said that she was dead, it was very likely that she felt that what she did at the beginning damaged the reputation of the royal family, so they simply made her disappear completely in this name.
This kind of thing happens for a long time in secular families, and it is even more normal to play it out within the royal family. However, Xia Fan was quite curious about what the strangeness this person was talking about.
"The eldest princess must be extraordinary, and it is already very strange to die of illness, since she is gone, she should be buried thickly, but she was buried in the snowfield. It was an extremely cold place in the Eastern Demon Realm, and it was not a good place to bury the deceased. The middle-aged man said: "It's just that what's going on here, but I really can't find out." ”
"It's good to have that. Xia Fan didn't criticize this person too much. Because he knew very well how difficult it was to find out about these things under the cover of some people. "Anything else?"
"It's all here. The middle-aged man handed a piece of spiritual jade to Xia Fan.
"Good. Xia Fan nodded, and then said, "You...... Take care. ”
"Serve the Demon Emperor, and then die. The middle-aged man whispered back, and then flashed out of the noodle shop, and soon disappeared into the endless wind and rain.
Xia Fan didn't linger long, turned around and walked out of the noodle shop, and after scanning the various detailed information imprinted in the spirit jade with his divine thoughts, he crushed it.
Previously, after Xia Fan killed the 300,000 demon army and secret agents in the Eastern Demon Realm, although the Eastern Demon Realm was quite calm, he secretly became extremely sensitive and began to secretly search for the secret agents of the Western Demon Realm.
In this way, the survival of the secret agents in the Western Demon Realm has become extremely difficult, especially becoming cautious and cautious, just like the location where the information submitted to Xia Fan this time was decided after the other party chose and chosen.
Xia Fan could feel the other party's vigilance and distrust of himself, but he was not upset by this, after all, anyone who had lived on the enemy's territory for many years and was facing the danger of dying if he was discovered at any time, and even begging for death would become quite extravagant.
Although the meeting between the two sides was not very harmonious, because Xia Fan didn't even know the other party's name from beginning to end, the information he got in his hand was quite comprehensive.
Being able to find so much information in such a short period of time and in such a complex and dangerous environment shows that these spies in the Western Demon Realm are still quite capable.
Although there is a lot of information, as the man said before, there is really not much news about Xia Fan's mother, and even hearsay rumors are very few. It doesn't feel like there has never been such a person in the royal family, but that the news about her has been deliberately covered up.
But Xia Fan did not lose confidence because of this, but became even more interested, because he knew very well that when someone deliberately covered up something, it could only mean that the hidden thing behind it was probably what he wanted and needed to know the most.
Originally, Xia Fan didn't expect this matter to go smoothly, since he couldn't get the answer he wanted from ordinary channels, then Xia Fan could only hit the prince of the Eastern Demon Realm, Yu Cangqiong.
However, Xia Fan would not be reckless enough to go straight to the sky to ask what was going on, because doing so was no different from sending him to death.
The defense of this Qingyun City alone was already extremely tight, and Xia Fan could sense the existence of many powerful and obscure auras, which showed that there were quite strong demon powerhouses guarding here. Not to mention the East Demon Jing, presumably the strength of the guards will only become stronger.
No matter how confident Xia Fan was in his own strength, he was not arrogant enough to be able to single-handedly challenge the entire Eastern Demon Jing's defense force by himself. Even with the soldiers and horses he had in his Sky Swallowing Pocket, it wouldn't work.
Therefore, if you want to achieve your own goal and get the Imperial Sky out of the Prince's Mansion in the Eastern Demon Capital, you must know how to use your brain more and think of more methods.
After getting what he wanted, Xia Fan didn't stay too long in Qingyun City, but quickly held an umbrella and didn't care at all about the rain at this time, and embarked on the road to the East Demon Capital.
"Do you really want to do what you said before?" After leaving Qingyun City for hundreds of miles, the jade rat that had been hiding in Xia Fan's sleeve as a snow-white little mouse appeared and asked with a little worry on his face.
"I had this idea, but just now after reading the detailed information of the East Demon King, I felt that my initial idea was a little too optimistic and simplistic. Xia Fan shook his head and said, "It is definitely necessary to rush in and catch the sky out of the sky and ask for a clear understanding, but how to get in and how to get out of the country unharmed needs to be discussed." ”
"Don't count on me. The jade rat waved his hand and said: "If you say that you can make a hole underneath, I can still help a little, but if you want to attack the East Demon Capital with a few people like us, I can't do anything, you have to rely on yourself in this matter." ”
"I can do it myself, it's just a little bit more time. Xia Fan smiled nonchalantly, and his figure had already risen into the air in a flash, flying towards the north.
"Go to the Eastern Demon Capital now?" asked the Jade Rat.
"Nope. Xia Fan's divine thought came, and he said, "Let's go to another place first." ”
