Chapter 69: A Turnaround
The next morning, Yang Li and Zhou Qingxue finished the clean-up operation and prepared to return to Linyi County. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Due to the previous reasons to prevent the grass from startling the snakes, neither side in the vicinity of this area made much moves. So in the course of one day and one night, the two actually worked together to sweep away seven or eight groups of wolf barbarians, and captured nearly thirty wolf barbarian heads.
Among them, there are more than ten wolf warriors.
However, Zhou Qingxue didn't have the slightest need for this, Yang Li had the credit of the young leader of the Blood-Devouring Tribe, so naturally he couldn't look down on the military merits of these three points anymore. Therefore, Yang Li just took advantage of Zhou Qingxue's lack of attention to cut off the head of the wolf barbarian warrior, and then gave it to Wuying to eat, so he didn't bother to hand it over to the government again.
Before leaving, Zhou Qingxue insisted on finding a stream or something to wash the blood stains on her body, so the two of them were still wandering around the mountains.
Walking on the road, Yang Li looked a little casual and asked, "Miss Zhou, since you can't use salt as a weapon, have you always planned to use this silver needle to attack in the future?"
Zhou Qingxue frowned slightly at first, as if Yang Li had hit her heart, but then replied with a smile: "Along the way, you have always tried my salt in a roundabout way...... No, it's the origin of the sodium object, but as I said, it's a secret, so I can't tell you about it for the time being!"
Yang Li was not discouraged, and grasped the loopholes in Zhou Qingxue's words: "For the time being, does that mean that as long as I meet certain conditions, I still have a chance to know?"
Zhou Qingxue was stunned at first, but she didn't expect Yang Li to think like this, and then she didn't know why her face flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "This is my family's secret, anyway, you just don't have a chance now! If you entangle me with this again, I'll be angry!"
Yang Li had no choice but to give up the investigation, but he was still wondering where her elemental sodium came from.
After all, according to Yang Li's understanding, it is absolutely impossible to extract the elemental metal sodium with Yunguo's technology, because sodium is too active and easy to react with oxygen and water, and it basically exists in the form of compounds in nature.
Even on Earth, if you want to obtain the elemental substance of sodium, you often need to use electrolysis, which is absolutely impossible in the elemental world where there are no generators.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Li still didn't have any clue, so he had to put this question in his heart for the time being.
At this time, the two had already found a clear stream, only to see Zhou Qingxue briskly come to a clean stone, take off her shoes and socks to the side and put them away, and then put her jade lotus-like feet into the water.
"It's refreshing!"
Feeling the trickling stream flowing between her toes, Zhou Qingxue couldn't help but snort softly.
After soaking for a while, she took off her coat again, ready to get rid of the bloodstains, and turned her head, only to find that Yang Li was staring at herself in a daze.
Zhou Qingxue suddenly had a flush on her cheeks, and said angrily: "If you have nothing to do, just go shopping, why do you keep staring at me?"
Yang Li also had a little uneasy on his face, and quickly looked away, and didn't answer, he really went around the neighborhood as Zhou Qingxue said. Zhou Qingxue saw that he was so decisive, but she was a little funny in her heart, and a little disappointed.
After Zhou Qingxue got it done, the two returned to the nearby official road, rode the sweaty dragon horse snatched from the wolf barbarians, and returned to Linyi County.
The two talked and laughed all the way, but they were also at ease.
Occasionally, when someone bumps into them on the road, they can't help but look at Yang Li with some envy: to have such a beautiful woman by his side, I don't know how many lifetimes it is a blessing to cultivate!
At noon, the two of them could vaguely see Linyi County.
However, it is a little strange that on weekdays, there will be no more than a group of soldiers patrolling at the city gate and on the city tower, but now I can vaguely see the crowd on the city wall, and the inspection at the city gate seems to be extremely meticulous, and the passers-by line up in a long line, looking like they are facing a great enemy.
Just when the two of them were puzzled, a young man suddenly came out of the bushes next to them and quickly came to Yang Li's horse.
"May I ask who your Excellency is?"
Yang Li saw that although he was dressed plainly, he was agile and silent, obviously not an ordinary person, and he had already fastened the diamond in his hand.
The man seemed to know Zhou Qingxue, he didn't squint at this time, he didn't dare to look at her at all, and he replied to the question: "Young Master Yang, my master has been waiting in the woods on the side for a long time, please be sure to go over and talk about it." ”
Without waiting for Yang Li to answer, Zhou Qingxue raised her eyebrows, her face was a little gloomy, and she asked rhetorically: "Your master only invited Yang Li alone?"
The man showed a look of embarrassment, but his gaze still fell on Yang Li, and he explained respectfully: "The master doesn't look down on the palace...... Miss Zhou's intention, it's just that this matter is not suitable to involve you, so I ......"
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Qingxue directly interrupted: "Sneaky, most of them don't have any good intentions, who knows if you want to lure him over, and then do something unseemly?"
"If you want to invite him over, you can do it, but there are two conditions, one is to report the identity of your master, and the other is that I must follow!"
Yang Li listened silently on the side, but there was a trace of warmth in his heart, and he could feel that Zhou Qingxue was indeed worried about his safety.
The man looked stunned, he never expected Zhou Qingxue to be so resolute, and after thinking for a while, he finally compromised: "My master Yang Gongzi should have seen it, it is Fengzhou Tongzhi Qin Tianya, if you don't have other problems, please come with me." ”
Qin Tianya?
Yang Li and Zhou Qingxue glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts.
Qin Tianya is the general of the military department, because of his reputation and status, he is a few points higher than Du Ji, the prefect of Cangzhou, in terms of reputation and status, how could he come to such a remote place to find Yang Li?
Seeing that the two were still hesitating, the man had to add: "The tokens obtained by the students in this operation are specially made by the Ministry of War, and the number is only known to the people of the Ministry of War." If I'm not mistaken, the one in Yang Gongzi's hand should be numbered five, three, six, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Qingxue immediately looked at Yang Li with an inquiring gaze, and Yang Li nodded slightly.
In this case, both of them turned and dismounted in unison, and then followed the man into the woods.
This walk is half an hour, almost around the back of Linyi County.
"This is it, please go ahead and move forward. ”
The young man leading the way in front suddenly stopped and motioned for the two to walk towards an open area on the right.
Yang Li brushed aside the branches in front of him and looked in this direction, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged Confucian in a green robe standing quietly not far away.
Seeing this, Yang Li immediately stepped forward quickly and said respectfully: "Student Yang Li, I have seen Lord Qin!"
Although Zhou Qingxue also saw Qin Tianya, she just followed behind Yang Li, walked over unhurriedly, and then said casually, "Uncle Qin." ”
When Qin Tianya saw Zhou Qingxue, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Why did you come with you? I have something important to discuss with Yang Li, and your identity is not suitable for getting involved." ”
"That's not good, I have to listen, can you still drive me away?"
Zhou Qingxue pouted, but she was petty.
Qin Tianya couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that the matter was extremely urgent at the moment, and he didn't have time to mess around with her here, so he had to follow her and say: "Then you have to promise that after hearing about this, you won't leak it to anyone, otherwise it will harm Yang Li's life!"
Only then did Zhou Qingxue understand that there was something important, and she no longer deliberately made things difficult, and nodded in agreement.
Yang Li also stood aside, looking deaf and listening, waiting for Qin Tianya's next words. But then, the first sentence that came out of Qin Tianya's mouth made Yang Li a little confused:
"Yang Li, do you know that your current situation is already a catastrophe and a life of death?"
