Chapter 61: To Bell City
"Now that the country of the Kiss has withdrawn from the Triple War Alliance, the crisis on the entire continent has been reduced a lot, and I am afraid that the hope of the restoration of the country of your burden has also increased a lot out of thin air. How about nine and a half, do you want to continue your journey to borrow the sky?"
"Of course. "Although the world under the night sky is pitch black, the eyes of the nine and a half seem to be shining with a different light in them. The trip to the sky has become the third, although the strength has been greatly improved, but the firmness of the nine and a half has never changed. The stars twinkled in the sky, and the eyes of the nine and a half were like stars in the night sky, firm and clear. The breeze blew through the woods, and he looked up and saw that everything was quiet, and the only thing that was not quiet seemed to be his excited heart and excited soul.
"Where are you going, is it the country of Pu Prison?" Tan Yiju put his hand on Lu Shu's back, and Lu Shu on the side was already comfortably curled up at his feet, as if he had fallen asleep quietly. Wu Liangzi and Wei Xicheng beside them had already walked away with interest, they seemed to know that this was a chat between Tan Yiju and Jiu and a half, and there were some secrets that they shouldn't know.
Jiu Ban looked at Wu Liangzi and Wei Xicheng who were walking away, then turned his head to look at Tan Yiju and Lu Shu, and then turned his gaze to the east, looked in the direction of Pu Prison Country and said, "Go to Zhongcheng." I always had a hunch that something was calling to me. ”
"Then I will go with you. Tan Yiju said casually while stroking Lu Shu's soft hair.
Hearing Tan Yiju say this, Jiu Ban was suddenly taken aback: "What? Mr. Tan wants to walk with us all the way?"
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Tan Yiju said slowly: "I went to the country of Pujiao to collect medicine, and besides, I want to refine a furnace of Great Dan, and the beast spirit weapon on your body is of great use to me." ”
Hearing Tan Yiju say these words, Jiu Ban stepped forward with some excitement and saluted with his fists, and said, "Thank you Mr. Tan so much." ”
"Okay, you're welcome, since you've decided to hit the road, let's go quickly. Before Tan Yiju finished speaking, Jiu Ban turned around and called Wei Xicheng and Wu Liangzi, but everyone didn't say anything, so they decided to go on the road together so hastily.
At this time, Lu Shu seemed to be a little sleepy-eyed.
In this way, a group of four people plus a psychic Lushu went to the country of Pulao in the east.
Eh, isn't this a familiar combination, but the westbound has been replaced by the eastbound journey.
In fact, it was already early autumn, and the leaves had fallen to the ground and turned yellow. Dead leaves sprinkled all over the courtyard, and in the courtyard only the quinoa was walking, strolling, circling in circles, and moving all the time. In the courtyard of the palace, there was no one else.
It's been a long time, and this monarch of a country hasn't been so anxious for a long time. It seems that after regaining his free body, he is especially willing to think about something, thinking by himself, and the state of not being disturbed by others is very rare for him. Maybe he had been imprisoned for too long, and he really didn't have much else to do in the dark but to think. Talk to the rats? Unfortunately, there isn't a ghost in that dungeon.
The rebellion has been quelled, and there is no trace of the witch tail in the country of the kiss, the right general was sentenced to the nine clans, and the revenge of Jairus and Mocking Wind after the kiss withdrew from the Three Kingdoms War Alliance has not come for a long time, and probably it will not come. But what will happen to this continent next? He only knows one thing: the royal family of the Nine Kingdoms, no one is easy to mess with. Even if the country that was in charge of the original was destroyed, I am afraid that it would be the result of the three countries that participated in the war to pay a great price to do it.
Otherwise, why didn't the three countries unite to pursue the victory and take down several neighboring countries in one fell swoop?
The rook looked up at the sky, as if a flock of geese had swept across the sky, but he didn't know where he was going.
Thinking about it, the group of people who have left seems to be like this group of geese, without roots. Is the world going crazy? What will it become? I don't know, but all I can do is live out my old age and I'll leave the rest to you.
I'll leave it to you, Nine-and-a-half.
In autumn, the leaves fall. No one knows what is behind the fallen leaves, people just know that the golden mountains of this place are all over the field, and they are very beautiful.
A powerful foot suddenly stepped on the fallen leaves, and the ground stopped in its tracks. The young man raised his head, looked at the plaque embedded with two quaint and desolate characters hanging high above the city tower in the distance, gently wiped his sweat and exhaled a breath.
"Oh my God, it's finally here. ”
The young man took a breath, and four figures rushed out of the bushes next to him at the same time, and they stepped forward to stand in front of the young man neatly, and saluted at the same time: "Congratulations to the arrival of Mr. Jiuhan, I, the monarch of Pujiao, have been waiting in front for a long time." ”
The young man was nine and a half, and at this time, after seven or eight days of traveling with Wu Liangzi and others, he finally arrived near Zhongcheng, the capital of the country of Pujiao, but compared to his estimate, the time seemed to be a few days less. Before the nine and a half spoke, the four black shadows said in unison again: "The monarch is already waiting for the master at the gate of Zhongcheng, and we will retire first." As soon as he finished speaking, all of a sudden, the four black shadows receded in unison, blending into the trees and disappearing, like water droplets merging into the sea. In an instant, a vacuum appeared from nothing within the range of nine and a half feet around his body, and from there to nothing, which made him a little uncomfortable.
At this time, the sound of leaves rubbing against the trees came from behind him, and he saw Tan Yiju leading Lu Shu, followed by Wu Liangzi and Wei Xicheng who came out of the bushes. After getting out of the bushes, Wei Xi sat on the ground with a butt, and then rubbed his waist and said, "There are too many branches in this place, and I am tired to death." ”
"Okay, I think?" Wu Liangzi stood aside, looking at the Zhongcheng City Gate in the distance. In the direction she looked, there was actually a group of people standing in the dark.
Jiu Ban ignored Wei Xicheng's complaints, turned to a few people and said, "Let's go, everyone, the baskets and baskets are all closed, we are just one step away." ”
"Boy, let me tell you, if you don't have good wine and meat after entering the city, I won't be able to spare you. The bones of our old people can't stand the toss. ”
Hearing Wei Xicheng's words, Jiu Ban laughed and said, "Brother Wei, when I was fighting with that witchtail in Swallowing Spine City, I didn't see you complain so much. ”
"I wasn't ...... at that time" Wei Xicheng's tone changed and he was about to defend, but Jiu Ban didn't give him a chance, so he turned around and walked towards the gate of Zhongcheng, behind him Wu Liangzi followed, and Tan Yiju also led Lu Shu to follow. Seeing this scene, Wei Xi couldn't say anything, so he got up and patted his ass and followed.
At the gate of Zhongcheng, the battle was spread a mile away, and the monarch of Pulao was standing at the gate of the city in person, waiting for the arrival of the ninth half. Not only the monarch of Pulao came in person, but even the prince Wan Duming and the national teacher Yubuzi all went out of the city gate together, quietly following the monarch of Pulao and waiting for the arrival of the ninth half.
The autumn wind blew, but the enthusiasm of the people of Zhongcheng did not seem to fade, and the people of Jiuhan and a group were almost pushed in front of the king of Pulao from a distance of several miles outside the city by the lively sound of gongs and drums. With the ten-mile long song Jiuhan and the others fighting in front of the Pulao monarch, and the old man with long beard and white hair got off his mount and walked in front of Jiuhan, and directly clasped his fists and saluted: "Jiuban Xiaoyou, thank you." ”
Seeing the behavior of the monarch of Pu Lao, Jiu Bancheng stepped forward in fear and put his hands on the shoulders of the other party, and then said: "No, the monarch must not! How can the younger generation He De be able to withstand such a great gift from the monarch?"
"Xiaoyou retreated from the army of one country alone, and the news has already spread throughout the territory of the nine countries. If it weren't for Xiaoyou, I'm afraid that the Three Kingdoms War Alliance would have already launched a war in the south, so I would have received the favor of Xiaoyou. In this way, do you say that you can stand this gift?" Pu Lao Guojun smiled and spoke to Jiu Ban, and Wan Duming, who was behind him, quietly popped his head and winked at Jiu Ban.
The white-bearded and white-haired Pu Lao Guojun has actually reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and his son Wan Duming has not yet reached the crown. When he was old and had children, he naturally loved Wan Duming very much. It is said that Wan Duming is also competitive, although he was born with a golden soup spoon, he was established as the prince of a country at all in his life, but he has no pampered habits, but is upright, erudite and inquisitive, and asked the emperor in the palace at a young age, and there is nothing wrong with visiting the country of the relentless one, which makes the old monarch more and more happy.
This is also the reason why he was able to make a grimace behind the monarch when he was lining up to welcome the nine and a half. After all, he is almost the next monarch, as long as the old monarch doesn't speak, he can do whatever he wants.
After being really polite, the nine and a half people were given up on their mounts, while Tan Yiju rode on Lu Shu's body and followed into the city. A wide continent took them directly to the palace, and along the way, they were stunned by the people who lined up on the street to welcome him, and the specific reason was that almost everyone was singing and dancing to welcome his arrival, no one had a trace of unhappy expression on their faces, and everyone was cheering, celebrating and singing.
Seeing this scene, Jiu Ban felt a little indescribably happy in his heart, and after entering the city, the monarch's car led the way in front of him, Wan Duming rode the white horse under his crotch and approached Jiu Ban's side, asking questions and talking about things, and the two chatted so lively. Correspondingly, Wu Liangzi is no longer surprised by this situation, while Wei Xicheng enjoys it very much. Wei Daxia, who has retired to the rivers and lakes for many years, has not enjoyed the cheers of everyone and the support of fans for a long time, which makes him can't help but recall the days when he was young and chivalrous and righteous in the rivers and lakes, but unfortunately, time is gone, he still cherishes the present.
The only thing that felt wrong was Tan Yiju. As we all know, the land of Pu Lao is vast and sparsely populated, and although there should be many residents in the capital of a country, it is not so many, right? The streets are full of people, as if everyone is watching here. Even if it is a distinguished guest, it will not be crowded by everyone in a city.
What's even weirder is people's expressions. It was as if there was no one in the entire bell city who did not welcome their arrival, and all the people standing on the street had happy smiles on their faces, as if they had seen their savior, which was also too strange. Tan Yiju, who was deeply surprised, wanted to release his qi for some investigation, but as soon as his qi poked out to the side, the whole person shivered solidly. As if something had smashed Qiu Feng and crashed directly into his brain, Tan Yiju's skull instantly felt a tearing pain. Tan Yiju just felt that he might have been overworked recently and should take a break, so he took his qi back, and he didn't think about the weirdness of Zhongcheng.
From the beginning of welcoming Jiu Ban and the others into the city, the next few days were almost all repeated. The monarch of Pulao began to set up a banquet every afternoon to entertain Jiuhan and his party, and the banquet not only praised Jiuhan as a hero to save the country, but also called him a general. During the banquet, there were singing and dancing, and the delicacies and wine seemed to be endless, but in fact, even Wei Xicheng was a little tired after eating for a few days.
After the feast is over, the king of Pu Lao will take Jiuban to discuss with Wu Liangzi about the crusade against Jairwood and Mocking Feng, and at this time, the prince Wan Duming will definitely participate, but the daily discussion always ends with no result. Despite this, the nine-and-a-half who were eager to restore the country did not notice this. And Wu Liangzi has always been not interested in the so-called state affairs, so he is even less concerned.
Jiuhan and Wu Liangzi were dragged by the monarch of Pujiao to discuss state affairs, but Wei Xicheng was happy to be idle. He dragged Lu Shu everywhere to find wine to drink, four or five days have passed, he has drunk more than ten taverns, every tavern he has to say "good drink, good drink" and said that he wants to come again, and the store regards him as a big hero who has retired from the country of kisses, and he doesn't need money to drink.
After four or five days like this, I never got tired of it.
At noon on this day, Wei Xicheng once again dragged Lu Shu to the street to find wine and eat. At this time, a man and a beast staggered down the street, as if they had not yet sobered up, but in fact it was. After drinking for four or five days in a row, even the body of a spirit beast like Lu Shu seemed to be a little overwhelmed. But who wouldn't drink the wine for nothing? So the two men persevered. However, the wine in the country of Pulao is indeed delicious, it stands to reason that countries rich in grain will have people who are good at winemaking, this Pulao is located in the easternmost part of the mainland, why is there such a delicious wine?
Anyway, drink!
Stepping into a new tavern, Wei Xicheng did not see the shopkeeper running towards him as usual, but saw a vague but familiar figure standing in the center of the tavern. Who's that figure? Who's going to be waiting for him in the tavern. That person is a bit like Mr. Tan, but Mr. Tan doesn't drink. Could it be that I was mistaken, that person was not actually Mr. Tan...... Wei Xicheng here was thinking wildly, and Lu Shu on the side was a little dissatisfied because there was no wine to send him, so he snorted loudly, but the person standing in the center of the tavern lobby waved his finger lightly, and a stone poked out and smashed directly on Lu Shu's head.
"Yo, Mr. Tan, why do you have time to come here to drink?" Seeing the appearance of Tan Yiju, Wei Xicheng hurriedly won. Tan Yiju appeared in the tavern, it was simply a rarity, he hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps, but the response was a slap from Tan Yiju.
It was a slap, but in fact, Tan Yiju just gently put the palm of his left hand on Wei Xicheng's forehead, and then a cool and comfortable breath quietly entered the other party's mind, but in a few breaths, Wei Xicheng came to his senses.
Seeing Tan Yiju's serious face, Wei Xicheng didn't open his mouth but waited quietly. Seeing that Wei Xicheng seemed to have regained his composure, Tan Yiju's right hand changed, and a pinch of feathers appeared in his hand. He put the feather into Wei Xicheng's hand and then said, "Wei Xicheng, I have a very important matter to ask you for. ”
"This is the feather of the bush bird, there are eight of them. You need to place these eight bush feathers in the east, south, west, north, northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest directions of Zhongcheng as soon as possible, the sooner the better, okay?"
Listening to Tan Yiju's words, Wei Xicheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then he asked a little nervously, "Mr. Tan, what happened?
"Don't worry, just confirm my little thoughts. Tan Yiju said, stretched out his hand to take Lu Shu, and then said to Wei Xicheng: "The sooner this thing is done, the better, is it okay?"
"Guaranteed to get the job done. Wei Xicheng didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went out as soon as he gave up, and went to find a place to put it with the bush feathers in his hand. When he turned around, he seemed to be able to hear Tan Yiju behind him chattering to Lu Shu: "How can you drink so much wine...... Is it that when I'm not around, you don't have any restraint yourself...... Don't you know why you weren't allowed to drink....."
Wei Xicheng shook his head and walked straight away.
