Chapter 527: Ancient Ruins
Daqin, the wind and the sun are beautiful.
There was a lewd atmosphere in the imperial palace in the capital, and the emperor won Luobin and mingled with the four newly canonized concubines all day long.
These four concubines are all fox beauties.
As for the administration of the court, it was left to a new fellow, who claimed to be the envoy of the southern tribes, appreciated by the emperor, so that he had the opportunity to manage the affairs of the state.
This person's name is strange, Shi Zi, and he wears a mask all day long.
The ministers were not surprised by this, because they had long been accustomed to wearing masks, such as the previous ghost-faced concubine Ma Yefeng.
Shi Zi issued a series of decrees, including an alliance between Great Qin and the orcs, recognizing the legal status of the orcs, providing the necessary supplies for the orcs, and so on.
Now on the streets of the capital, orcs can often be seen, and the people are no longer surprised.
High-level orcs are able to speak, while low-level orcs can only communicate with each other.
The chief eunuch had been standing at the door of the dormitory for some time, and the disheveled Ying Luobin came out of the pile of fat powder, walked to him slowly, and asked in a dumb voice, "What happened?"
The steward replied in a low voice: "There is news from the north that the battle of Yancheng has been defeated. ”
"What, how is that possible!" win, Lobin's eyes widened.
"Yes, the minions also thought it was incredible, but the news was true, almost all the 10,000 wolf knights were wiped out, and the other three orcs who participated in the battle were all dead. The chief manager raised his head and said, "The Ghost Face Legion only suffered more than 10,000 casualties, which can be described as a great victory. ”
Win Luobin frowned, and said: "How can this be? Last time, it was also 10,000 wolf knights against Ye Feng, and they killed more than 100,000 people of the Ghost Face Legion, this time it was changed to a siege battle, why did they lose, and it was a defeat with such a huge disparity! What tactics did Ye Feng use, and why was he able to win?"
The eunuch smiled bitterly: "The tactics are nothing more than guarding the city wall, and the master group of more than 100 people sent by the Han Dynasty outside the country, in fact, the top level of these people's martial artists is not high, and the most powerful is nothing more than the Golden Body Realm, and there are only twenty people, mainly Gathering God Realm martial artists." ”
"Go and call Shi Zi over. He said in a deep voice.
Shi Zi was ordered to come, Ying Luobin looked unhappy, and after waving away the eunuchs and palace maids in the dormitory, he immediately changed his face and said in a flattering tone: "Lord Shi Zi, I heard that our army was newly defeated in Yancheng, can there be such a thing?"
Since he knew that he was poisoned, Ying Luobin's attitude towards Shi Zi became very respectful, because he had privately sought the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor was helpless against the poison he was in, so he could only get the antidote through Shi Zi, taking one every seven days to suppress the poisonous attack.
When the poison attacked, the whole body was as uncomfortable as fire, and the pain was simply not something that people could bear.
Life is in the hands of others, and in order to continue to live, of course he has to let go of the emperor's posture.
Moreover, his four favorite concubines were dedicated by Shi Zi, and if one of them was unhappy to take people back, his sexual-happy life would come to an end.
Shi Zi took off his mask, glanced at him and said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, a small defeat can't mean anything, the one who laughs last is the winner." ”
Ying Luobin nodded, and asked again: "The casualties of the orc legion this time are so serious, how to deal with the ghost face legion in the future, does Lord Shi Zi have a plan in mind?"
Shi Zi sneered: "Serious? In my opinion, it is at most a drop in the bucket, it is just a loss of 10,000 wolf knights, the orcs have more than a dozen big races, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, not to mention the small ghost face army, even if the Great Han sends all the troops, it is impossible for us to be our opponents! ”
In its opinion, the battle of Yancheng can only be regarded as a small test, and the loss of 10,000 wolf knights is nothing to the orcs.
Win Luobin has a bottom in his heart, it turns out that the orcs have more than a dozen races, and said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, I am still very relieved, then I am waiting for your good news." ”
Shi Zi snorted lightly: "Don't worry, it won't be long before you will sit on the throne of the Emperor of the Human Race." But before that, you and your Qin army can't be idle, first of all, to ensure the safety of our clansmen who have not yet completed the transformation, and second, to stabilize the existing situation in the Holy Heaven Continent, understand?"
Ying Luobin took out a tiger talisman from his bosom and said, "All the soldiers of Great Qin are under the command of Lord Shizi...... By the way, isn't it time for me to have the antidote for this week?"
Shi Zi smiled and took the tiger talisman: "Count you as acquaintance! For the sake of you being so sensible, I will give you the antidote next time." ”
With that, he threw out two yellow pills.
The pill fell to the ground, and Ying Luobin hurriedly lay on the ground, picked it up like a treasure, and kowtowed while saying, "Thank you, Lord Shizi!"
......
"Uncle Junior, please take a look, this is the clue I found!" Duanmu Yu pointed to a few inconspicuous footprints in the grass and said, "I have compared, it is the minotaur who was shot by Princess Yingqi before." ”
The footprints are very unclear, and they are in such a hidden place, so only people like Duanmuyu who are thoughtful and have a keen sense of smell can find them.
Duanmu Yu pointed to the bushes in front of him on the right and said, "The Minotaur came from over there." ”
"There are footprints over there, too?" Ye Yunyang asked.
Duanmuyu shook his head and said, "The minotaur was very careful when he walked and left no footprints, but when it passed through the bushes, it broke a branch. ”
Soon, he found the broken branch in front of Ye Yunyang.
This is a small bush of low trees, with thousands of branches, but only one is broken, Duanmu Yu can find it, and he has to admit that his heart is very thin.
Ye Yunyang said that he admired it very much, if he was replaced, he might not be able to find these clues.
In fact, the emperor sent several groups of people to conduct a carpet search of the hunting grounds, but found nothing, and finally Duanmu Yu came forward to find these clues.
The two of them continued to move forward and walked straight out for more than a mile, Ye Yunyang frowned: "That's how you found here?"
Duanmu Yu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Based on my feelings, in fact, there are no clues along the way, but I found half a footprint in front of me, which proves that the direction is correct." ”
Ye Yunyang nodded and made a gesture of continuation.
For the next hour, the two of them circled around the royal hunting grounds, and finally came to the southeast corner, where stood a man, dressed in the uniform of Dali Temple, and led two horses in his hands.
"What do you mean?" Ye Yunyang asked again.
Duanmu Yu explained: "There are no clues here, we are going to another place next......
Ye Yunyang waved his hand: "Don't tell me about the process, don't show it to me, just say the result! By the way, it's not easy for you to find these clues, how long did it take?"
Duanmu Yu stretched out a finger and said, "One hour!"
Ye Yunyang was completely convinced, he had been shopping for an hour just now, which means that this guy had determined the correct direction of reconnaissance as soon as he entered the hunting ground, otherwise it would be impossible to find so many clues in a short period of time.
"Since Uncle Xiao is not interested in the process, I will directly say the result. Duanmu Yu Zhengse said: "The Minotaur appeared from a place twenty miles away, where it was deserted and uninhabited, and it was a forbidden area demarcated by the Han Empire. ”
Ye Yunyang frowned, and Duanmu Yu began to explain.
It turned out that the forbidden area was one of the most lively places in the Holy Heaven Continent thousands of years ago, and thieves and antiquities dealers were rampant, all because of the underground crypt known as the treasure house.
The official name there is called the Ancient Ruins, also known as the Ancient Cemetery, which is a group of tombs of the ancient ancestors, and later because of the movement of the earth's crust, the landslide was buried deep in the ground, forming a huge area of natural crypt.
Long before the establishment of the Han Empire, the ancient cemetery was frantically excavated, and all kinds of funerary goods, books and other precious cultural relics fell into the hands of tomb robbers, and then entered the market through the hands of cultural relics dealers, and became frequent customers in auction houses during that period.
After the founding of the Han Empire, an archaeological team was sent into the ruins, hoping to make new discoveries, but the final result was that the inside had been stolen and excavated, and there was nothing left.
The archaeological team drew up a detailed map of the ruins and presented them to the emperor, who ordered that the entrance to the ruins be sealed and that no one should approach or enter, and that no one would be killed.
After becoming a forbidden land, the ancient ruins area returned to calm, and today, thousands of years later, it is a completely barren land.
Duanmu Yu pointed to the side and said, "According to the historical records of the empire, the entrance to the ruins that were sealed back then was there, and it was from there that the Minotaur appeared. ”
Ye Yunyang frowned: "You mean, it came out of the ruins?"
Duanmu Yu nodded: "That's right, I searched carefully around the entrance, and found no other evidence, before new evidence appears, it can be sure that it came out of the ruins." ”
He had already reported the results of the investigation to the emperor and the crown prince, and the emperor felt that the matter was too big and he had to find a competent person to take charge of this matter, and he couldn't help but think of Ye Yunyang.
Ye Yunyang returned to the imperial capital and was just about to enter the palace, when Liu Yuying happened to come out of it, holding a long paper tube in his hand.
Seeing him, the little girl shook the paper tube happily and said, "This is the map of the ancient ruins, I just found it from the library pavilion, and the imperial grandfather handed over this task to the two of us." ”
Ye Yun raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
"Of course, when did I lie to you?" she swore by herself.
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty just asked you to find the map and put it in my hands. He said meaningfully, "You deliberately falsely proclaimed the Holy Decree, right?"
The little girl pouted: "It's really boring, why are you so smart, I can't fool you with anything." ”
He smiled, "It's okay, I just want to know the truth! If you want to be a part of this, then join in, but don't lie again." ”
Liu Yuying jumped three feet high happily: "Yunyang, you are so good! I promise to listen to you, you let me go east, I will never go west." ”
He smiled and shook his head, "What does Your Majesty mean?"
She put away her smile and said solemnly: "He will leave this matter to you to deal with, as long as the result is done, regardless of the process." ”
