Chapter 229: The Situation is Unstable
readx;? Jiang Li was puzzled and unpleasant, and pulled Xia Qing'er into the tavern. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were not many people in the tavern, all of them were noblely dressed, and they were talking about something at the table in twos and threes.
When these people noticed Jiang Li and Xia Qing'er, although they looked at Xia Qing'er with obsessive eyes, no one dared to come up and offend.
"Shopkeeper, why are there so few guests today?" Jiang Li walked to the counter and asked the shopkeeper.
It seems that all the shopkeepers of the tavern in this world are white fat people, and the one in front of him is no exception, and the most obvious feature is the mustache on the corner of his mouth.
The shrewd little eyes on this guy's fat face stayed on Xia Qing'er for a few seconds, and he suddenly woke up and replied: "My lord, you must be the son of a big family who doesn't often go out, right?
Jiang Li took a jar of fruit wine from the counter, handed it to Xia Qing'er, and took a sip of the jar of Kaifeng himself, threw the crystal card in the shopkeeper's hand, and said, "Tell me everything you know, your benefits are indispensable." ”
The white fat shopkeeper didn't take the crystal card at hand, and began to talk about the reason for the matter.
"As for the original cause of the incident, I don't know my status, anyway, there has been a conscription recently! All the people in the prime of life have been conscripted to the city government! Nine times out of ten, these people who are still left are some people of some status.
What can conscription have, isn't it just to fight!
Our capital is already very good, those cities that are close to other empires, the people have all run to the area near the center of the empire in order to avoid the war, the more marginal the area, the more no one! The rest are the troops transferred by the empire!"
After listening to this white fat man, Jiang Li also had a general understanding of this phenomenon in his heart.
Xia Qing'er asked puzzledly: "Aren't the troops all soul sacrificial masters and soul sacrificial warriors, why do you want to recruit ordinary people who don't know anything?"
"Oh, this girl is right, but you don't know, girl, this battle needs cannon fodder!" the white fat man explained helplessly and angrily.
"The empire conscripts the people to be sent to death as cannon fodder? This kind of behavior is too hateful! No, I want to talk to my grandfather about this!" Xia Qing'er raised her eyebrows and said even more angrily.
The white fat man waved his hand and sighed: "There are too many things involved in this, but it is not something that anyone can decide, even the emperor may not be able to cancel this act." Our Daga Empire is vast and rich, compared to other major empires, it is excellent, and some empires even have children and old people!"
Xia Qing'er was even more furious when she said this, and she didn't even let go of the old man and children!
Jiang Li grabbed Xia Qing'er's wrist tightly and said, "Qing'er, there are some things that are not as simple as you think, how could your grandfather not know about this matter? ”
The two of them then had a haphazard meal and prepared to go to the Haote Empire.
Jiang Li didn't know which empires were in such a situation now, he was worried that if the Haote Empire and the Daga Empire confronted each other, then the teleportation stations between the two countries would naturally be blocked and closed.
In this way, it is very difficult to go to the soul capital of the hot empire to investigate the safety of the fat man.
By the time the two of them arrived at the Imperial Capital Post Station, which was teleported to the major empires, it had already been confirmed that Jiang Li's worries were true.
The teleportation stations to the other six empires have all been blocked and deactivated!
In the space of a few months, the Seven Great Empires, which had coexisted peacefully for countless years, had now broken the balance in an instant and began to become turbulent! Jiang Li always felt that there were some unknown secrets and strangeness!
"Brother Jiang Li, what should we do? We can only stay in the Daga Empire?" Xia Qing'er asked with a frown.
Jiang Li stood in place and thought for a while, and said to Xia Qing'er: "Qing'er, I know the Holy Land Seal of the Daga Empire, and now, I can only ask him for some help and news. ”
The sacrificial sanctuary must know more than the tavern keeper, and at the same time, Jiang Li also wanted to see if the Yin Sword character of the earth seal had awakened.
The two then moved to the Earth's Pivotal Pavilion.
When he came to the Dishu Pavilion, the Diyin had been summoned to the Imperial Palace. After all, now that the empire has frequent major events, Diyin, as a national teacher, still needs to discuss state affairs with the high-level.
The person who received the two was Youyinxi, although this person was as cold as ice to outsiders, but he was surprisingly gentle to Jiang Li and the others.
"Since you call Diyin the eldest brother, then call me sister-in-law. There was a faint smile on the corner of Youyinxi's mouth, and she knew everything about the matter between Diyin and Jiang Li.
"Wow! Brother Jiang Li, the youngest saint today, is actually your eldest brother! You didn't even tell me!" Without waiting for Jiang Li to speak, Xia Qing'er said to Jiang Li in surprise.
Her grandfather is a Fire Nation Saint, even if outsiders don't know about it, she will naturally know who the Seven Great Saints are today.
Youyinxi's cold eyes fell on Xia Qing'er, who was being held by Jiang Li, and said with a faint smile: "Good girl, this must be the granddaughter of the saint Xia Jiang, right? ”
"Hehe, thank you sister for the compliment!~ But sister, you are also beautiful!" Xia Qing'er smiled sweetly.
It is a very happy thing for a girl to be praised for her beauty by outsiders, and to be praised by a woman who is also beautiful is a recognition of her beauty.
It is the nature of girls to love beauty, even a woman with a cold temperament like Youyinxi, when she heard Xia Qing'er's praise, she couldn't help but have a faint light on her face.
Jiang Li saw that there was no barrier between the two daughters when they met for the first time, and he was very happy in his heart, so he smiled at Youyinxi: "I think it is more appropriate for me to call your sister the same as Qing'er, and if I call it like this, I guess the eldest brother will not blame me." ”
"Whatever you want~ It's just a title, harmless. Youyin Xi said: "It's just that the earth seal has not been out for a long time, and it may not come back until noon, so you can take a look for yourself in this place pavilion." ”
Jiang Li nodded and said, "We didn't have anything to do with the eldest brother, we just wanted to see the eldest brother's current situation." The second is to understand what is happening between the empires today. ”
When Youyinxi heard Jiang Li talk about this, her brows furrowed slightly, and she pondered for a moment, as if she was making a decision.
"There are some things that the earth seal is not very clear, and I also know the relationship between you and the earth seal very well, if I can entrust this matter to you, it can also solve one of my thoughts. Youyinxi finally looked at Jiang Li solemnly and said.
When Jiang Li heard this, he was a little confused, and was about to ask questions, but there was a burst of laughter outside.
