Chapter 33: The Storm is Coming
A few days ago, he discussed with the merchant group, along the way, he could join the merchant group as a merchant group escort and enter the Tuhu country together, and the remuneration could be lower than that of the ordinary guards of the merchant group.
In this regard, although the leader was a little hesitant, he saw that Xuanyuan Gu's momentum was not weak, and the merchant group's escort force was indeed a little weak, so he agreed to Xuanyuan Gu's request.
"This person secretly handed over the thing to me, and he didn't let the rest of the merchant group know, is it because this thing is common to the merchant group, and he can't take it secretly?"
"But in that case, why did he give it to me, is it really because he wants to repay the grace of saving his life......"
"Xuanyuan Gongzi, Xuanyuan Gongzi ......!"
Just when Xuanyuan Gu was secretly thinking about the other party's purpose, the leader called Xuanyuan Gu two words.
And Xuanyuan Gu, who was thinking about it, immediately came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "It's me who is rude! Everyone, I wonder if we can enter the Tuhu Kingdom today?"
"Hehe, Xuanyuan Gongzi, after turning over the mountain in front, we will reach the territory of Tuhu Country, and there is no one else here except for a few wolf moon ** soldiers guarding the beacon tower, so we only need to climb over that mountain, and we can move forward with confidence!"
"That's good! That's good!" Xuanyuan Gu looked at the beacon tower on the mountain beam, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the beacon tower was dilapidated.
The beacon tower is so dilapidated, even if the garrison sergeants, not many people will stay here all day, besides, the beacon tower on the mountain beam is very sparse, coupled with the dense jungle, it is relatively easy to pass......
Sure enough, after crossing the mountain, the rest of the road was very calm, and soon Xuanyuan Gu and his party came to a city that was twice as large as Wolf Xu City.
This is Qingqiu City, the largest city on the border of Tuhu Country.
Entering Qingqiu City, Xuanyuan Gu found an inn, rented a room, and hurriedly took out the things in his arms to check.
To tell the truth, there were only two things in the box, a dusky yellow bead the size of a grape, and a piece of jade.
Holding the two things in his hand, Xuanyuan Gu not only couldn't cry or laugh, he thought that the person was so mysterious, it should be some great treasure, but with these two things, Xuanyuan Gu couldn't see what was special about them.
Needless to say, the jade material is crystal clear, it is a good jade, but it seems to be the corner of a certain piece of jade, with the memory of Xuanyuan and the ancients, but I can't see that this jade is a treasure.
And the bead is even more so, at first glance, the bead is very ordinary, except that it is a little harder, it is no different from an ordinary ball of mud.
"I don't know why the man gave me these two things, it's not a treasure! Could it be that this thing is so high that even I can't see it!"
"No, although I haven't been to the Demon God Realm in my previous life, I have seen a lot of foreign spirits, even innate spirit treasures, and I have seen a lot, but these two things have no divine light, just like mortal things, how can they be treasures?"
"Hey...... Forget it, why do I dig into this, let's think about how to go to the capital of Tuhu Country to find out the whereabouts of the long-distance teleportation array!"
Once, Xuanyuan Gu also inquired among the people of the merchant group whether there was a long-distance teleportation array nearby, but to Xuanyuan Gu's disappointment, Tuhu Country was only a small country in the entire Eastern Regions, and there was a teleportation array, but it was not a long-distance teleportation array, at most, it could be teleported to the nearest middle demon country, the Red Dragon Kingdom.
Not only that, that teleportation array must also be opened by someone with status, or for special reasons, and it is the royal family of Tuhu Kingdom who holds the right to use the teleportation array, so if Xuanyuan Gu wants to use these teleportation arrays to teleport to the Red Dragon Kingdom, he must also pass the royal level.
If Xuanyuan Gu is a strong man at the level of a demon king, he can break into the palace and use a teleportation array, but now Xuanyuan Gu is not a strong man at the level of a demon king!
"Do you really have to wait until your cultivation breaks through to the realm of transforming your soul before you can break through the teleportation array?"
"No! Time waits for no one, I must go back to the Terran tribe as soon as possible! I don't know if the high priest has done it!"
Thinking of the high priest, Xuanyuan Gu was even more eager to find a way to return to the human tribe. He disappeared inexplicably, if the high priest seized power in advance, then his father Xuanyuan Fei would definitely not end well, and the human race would be completely subjugated to the high priest's obscenity.
But what he didn't know was that the Terran tribe had already undergone drastic changes at this time, and he didn't know until he went back.
Let's not mention this matter for the time being, and at this moment, it is not difficult for Xuanyuan Gu to go to the capital of Tuhu Country, it is rare that a person with no identity like him will not be able to enter the palace.
"No matter what, let's go to Tuhu Country first!"
After spending the night at the inn, Xuanyuan Gu bought a unicorn and headed for the capital. Although the unicorn is not a good mount, it can also travel thousands of miles in a day, so in just a few days, Xuanyuan Gu arrived at the capital of Tuhu Kingdom.
What Xuanyuan Gu didn't know was that the moment he left Qingqiu City, he was targeted by many people. And the people who were eyeing him did not make a move on the road, but instead laid a Tianluo Tiannet in the national capital, waiting for Xuanyuan Gu to drill in.
The hundred-foot-high city wall stood horizontally, and under the thick wall, eight gates were opened, and the sergeants guarding the guards, armed with glistening spears, were checking the endless stream of pedestrians.
"What a city! It is worthy of being the capital of Tuhu Country, not only the city walls are hundreds of zhang high, but also the bricks and stones used are made of Xuanming stone, which is extremely hard, even with divine soldiers, it can be split!"
"And there are a lot of killing formations in the capital of this country, I'm afraid that when the demon king comes, he will have to walk into the city honestly......!"
And just as Xuanyuan Gu was about to enter the city, there were more than a dozen people standing in a mansion in the southern district of the capital, as if listening to someone's instructions.
"Listen, if things go wrong, don't come back!
"Yes, Lord, if I can't bring it back, I'm willing to come and see it!" said a dozen people in unison.
"Well, let's go down and prepare, the spy has returned, that person has already arrived in the capital, and he lives in the Donglai Inn!" The person who spoke had been hiding in the shadows, only showing a back, but the dozen or so people were half-kneeling, and after answering, they quickly disappeared into the mansion.
Just after everyone left, a figure came out of the darkness, this person was not very old, but his temples were white, and his bewitching face gave people a strange feeling.
Of course, this is not the main thing, the most important thing is that this person is wearing a royal robe, it seems to be a member of the royal family, he looked into the distance, and muttered strangely: "As long as you can get that thing, this throne is the deity......!"
"But that person's cultivation is not low, but he can't be careless, Dark Seven, you also go, in case there is no trouble!"
"Yes, Lord!" suddenly a figure flew out of the darkness, this man was dressed in a black robe, even his face was covered, he replied, and immediately disappeared into the darkness, so fast that almost no one could perceive it.
