Chapter 720: Dangerous Woman
Looking at the misty mountains in front of them, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng seemed to see mountains of gold and silver. This Jiazhi City Temple was not in the city, but chose this secluded place.
Since you have chosen seclusion, you have given up the protection of secular soldiers. With such a splashing wealth in front of them, how could it not make Wu Gen and Yang Zheng overjoyed.
"I think we should let Baoxiang send some people here, otherwise with so much money, the two of us won't be able to move it all." Yang Zheng seriously put forward a suggestion.
"There is also a shuttle, which can be loaded as much as you can. After completing this order, this time to go to sea can be regarded as profitable. Wu Jian quite agreed with Yang Zheng's opinion, looked at the winding mountains, and made a hug gesture.
The two of them walked along the official road, mingling with these people who entered the mountain, looking at the surrounding terrain with great interest, and also chose a route to run away after succeeding.
Suddenly, the road in the distance was dusty, and dozens of horses were galloping towards them. These cavalry drove the pedestrians on the road as they ran, "Get out of the way, the angels come and get out of the way." ”
Originally, some people were reluctant to give way to the road, but when they heard the name of the divine envoy, they were busy driving their expensive carriages into the grass beside the road, completely ignoring the ugly mud stains on their fur and incense carts.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng also shrank back, hid behind a Cui Tian Hua car, and looked at the movement on the official road through the tassels hanging on the car.
Soon, a row of heavy riders stood on each side of the official road, like two fences, blocking the people who were probing their brains and wanting to see the true face of the divine envoy.
In a short time, sixty-four heavy horsemen marched forward side by side with the Golden Crow Banner in their hands, guarding a carriage behind them. Compared with the cars of these nobles in Jiazhi City on the side of the road, this carriage looks much simpler.
There is only a simple gold black pattern on the pale yellow body, and two pearls hang in front of the car. At a distance, you can smell a faint fragrance.
Listening to the discussion next to him, Wu Yan realized that the body of this carriage was actually made of incense wood, which is rare in the world. This kind of wood is often used by rich and noble people to burn incense and clear their hearts, and every time they are only willing to scrape off a little bit of scrap, one or two fragrant wood is equivalent to thorn jade, but I didn't expect the Divine Cult to make a car extravagantly.
It was not a horse that pulled the cart, but a majestic white deer, its blue eyes flashing like amber, curiously looking at the crowd on both sides. Everywhere he went, the horses pulling the carts on the side of the road unconsciously lowered their heads, as if the common people had seen their king.
"Is this a car, this is obviously a walking spirit jade, if only it could be successful." Wu Yan muttered quietly.
Someone next to him cast a strange look, "Hmph, wishful thinking, this is the royal car of the gods, and if you dare to move it, you are the enemy of the gods, I am afraid that you will have a life to take the flower of your life." ”
Wu Yan hurriedly said yes again and again and closed his mouth. In case this one shuts himself out, don't think about robbing the temple, just run away.
The white deer incense car slowly moved along the official road, getting closer and closer to Wu Gen and Yang Zheng. Smelling this refreshing aroma, Wu Gan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
"What's wrong?" Yang Zheng asked in a low voice.
"I feel familiar with the people in this car." Wu Gan's eyes moved with the carriage, as if he wanted to see who was in the carriage.
What kind of formation should this carriage have, which can not only isolate people's sight, but also block the prying eyes of the divine sense. It's just that Wu Gen always has a feeling that there is a familiar taste in it.
The car passed in front of Wu Gen and continued to move forward. Suddenly, the curtain on the car was lifted, and a pink boy appeared by the window, looking around at the scenery.
Wu Gan's eyes widened suddenly, and his body shrank back. Next to the boy, a woman tapped her finger on his forehead, ready to lower the curtain.
Suddenly, the woman seemed to feel something, and turned her head to look in the direction of Wu Gan. Wu Yan quickly shrank his head and hid behind the car next to him.
The curtain was gently lowered, and the white deer incense car continued to move forward, all the way up the mountain road along the official road.
"Zhao Ling, I didn't expect to see her here." Yang Zheng moved his body out of the back of the car, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the incense car that was gradually hidden in the bustling mountains and trees.
Wu Yan didn't say a word, his expression was a little complicated, and after a long time, Fang Youyou sighed, "Bad fate, I didn't expect the children to be so old." ”
Zhao Ling, the woman who made him suffer so hard and almost lost his life, had already gained such a high status in the Divine Sect. Wu Gen did not doubt that she could do this. This woman has a cold temperament, is very ambitious, has the heart of a jackal, and is good at using all the help around her, even her body. After joining the Divine Cult, I'm afraid not many people can stop her methods.
To a certain extent, Wu Gan's current situation is also caused by her. This is a woman who wants people's lives, if it were someone else, Wu Gen would have tried every means to destroy it, but Zhao Ling had a powerful talisman in front of Wu Gan, that is, the child next to her, and the child of Xiang Qi, the only descendant of her brother.
"It's better not to see each other, our situation is a little delicate." Yang Zheng was a little worried that Wu Gen would go to see the child.
"Alas, as long as the child is safe, I will not touch her, let alone appear in front of them. Let's go, since Zhao Ling is here, the temple is not easy to start, let's find a place to live and wait for a few days. Wu Gan suddenly turned around and walked out of the mountain, full of interest when he came, but he was excited when he went.
The two found an inn outside Jiazhi City and waited for Zhao Ling's departure. In the past few days, Wu Gen has been a little unreckless, just bored in the inn every day, and he is not even bothered to open the door.
Yang Zheng was not idle, and Yi Lirong went out all day to inquire about the news. Because Daliang City was destroyed and the temple was robbed, there are more people checking these days. However, because Yang Zheng's forged road guide was really sophisticated, no one found out that the culprit was hiding outside the capital.
"Baoxiang, they have made a move in the country of Chelu in the north." Yang Zheng pushed open the door of the house, Xing Chong rushed in, and handed Wu Qian a map, "Zhao Ling's visit to Jiazhi City this time is also a coincidence, she was originally ordered to inspect other countries, but she didn't want something to happen to Zou Guo, so she hurried over." As soon as Baoxiang made a move, she left Zou Kingdom, and the two days of inventory were much less. ”
Wu Gen unfolded the map, and the topography of Matai Mountain was impressive, looking at the winding lines on it, and even the path in the mountain was marked, which showed that Yang Zheng had put a lot of effort into it these days, and even his waistline was smaller.
After carefully looking at the map, Wu Gen let out a sigh of relief and drank all the residual wine on the table, "Contact the treasure elephant, grab another one, and return to this place from the far sea and take this temple." After the success, the trip was a success, and the whole army returned to Kuntianzhou. ”
"Zou has 50,000 horses stationed in the north and west of the capital, and our army should attack the temple, so it is advisable to attack the temple in small groups, pass through the gaps on both sides, and fight and retreat quickly." Yang Zheng nodded slightly, this time he robbed the temple, and the Dreadnought Army had already shown his face in Tianyuan Continent.
Moreover, if the temple visited by the divine envoy is also robbed, the Cult will surely be furious, and the purpose of the trip has indeed been achieved. If it drags on any longer, I am afraid that the Church of God will send a large army to encircle and suppress it, and it will be too late to leave at that time.
While waiting for the arrival of the Baoxiang people, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng had nothing to do, so they simply went up to Matai Mountain again. After the two of them paid two pieces of thorn jade at the foot of the mountain, they finally went up the mountain road smoothly.
This Matai Mountain is a beautiful scenery, step by step, you can see the green, colorful butterflies and yellow warblers hovering in the grass and forests. Looking at the danger pavilion, the clouds and mist in the mountains, and the smoke and smoke in the distance, but Wu Gan was depressed for many days.
Halfway up the mountain, there were obviously more guards in the mountain, not only the soldiers of Zou Guo, but also some divine servants looking around vigilantly.
On the top of the mountain in the distance, there is a large yellow temple roof covering the entire mountain, which shows that the size of the temple here is not small. Soon, someone stopped Wu Gen and Yang Zheng, saying that there were distinguished guests in the temple today, and idlers were not allowed to go up.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng had to find a pavilion next to it, where people served tea, and some other tourists who were stopped were sitting around.
Like ordinary tourists, the two of them sipped pine nuts, drank tea from a clear spring, and listened to people talk about the miracles that had happened in this temple.
It is nothing more than a blind girl who kowtows to the top of the mountain three times in one step, and sees the light again in one day. Or there is a spirit beast that comes to the fruit, and after bowing, it can speak out.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng looked at each other and smiled, this kind of trick is the director of the Divine Sect, but the wider the legend, the more it shows that the temple here is rich.
While chatting, a man with seven or eight guards strode down the hill from the temple. When they reached the place where the horses were tied, they galloped down without worrying about the steepness of the mountain.
When passing by Wu Gen and the others, it can be seen that the leader is a young man, dressed in red, with a huge jewel inlaid in his forehead.
The young man's face was indignant, and his brow furrowed, obviously encountering some unhappiness in the temple.
"The second prince is here to visit the priest." There was a person beside him who clearly recognized this person, and whispered in his companion's ear.
"What's the use of visiting, the priest is interested in the eldest prince, what's the use of him tossing and turning, it's just annoying." The other also said in a low voice, his face showing disdain.
"yes, it's not a good thing to have too much energy."
The conversation between the two was very low, but it was clearly audible to the cultivation of Wu Jian and Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng turned his head to look in the direction where the second prince had left, his expression a little stunned. Wu Gen knew his thoughts, and Yang Zheng was also from the royal family, but he lost the throne due to the obstruction of the gods, so he thought that he had empathy for the second prince.
Due to the prince's visit, the temple was not open to outsiders today, so Wu Gen and Yang Zheng could only run in vain and returned to the inn.
Yang Zheng didn't have anything to do in the past two days, so he asked around about the two princes. After inquiring, I learned that the two princes were named Zou Ning, and there was an eldest brother named Zou Ying.
Since the succession of the thrones of the countries of Tianyuan Continent requires the nod of the Divine Sect to determine the heir, this Zou Ying has always been closer to the priests in the capital, and he is the eldest son, so he is naturally the best heir to the throne in the eyes of everyone.
And Zou Ningduo has worked hard in the army and made a lot of achievements, so he naturally doesn't want to give up the throne easily, so he also has many activities to get the throne. It's just that he has been away for many years, alienated from the priests, and has no support from the Divine Cult. Seeing that his father was old and sick, he wanted to see if he could take the path of a priest, but after several attempts, it was not smooth.
Wu Yan was not very interested in these things, and just sat in the house all day to pranayama. Half a month later, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps from outside the house. Wu Yan opened his eyes, couldn't help but look happy, and quickly jumped out of bed to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Baoxiang and Yang Zheng stepped in and gently closed the door.
"Well, it's the matter to the north." Wu Qian hurriedly sat down Baoxiang and poured him a cup of tea.
Bao Xiang grabbed the teapot, poured a few sips, and wiped a handful of water stains from the corners of his mouth, "I robbed two more, but there was no siege, and the harvest was not very much." ”
"The people of the Cult of God are catching up." Wu Yan was a little uneasy, the divine envoy had already arrived here, and he would definitely mobilize people and horses from all over the place to pursue, so he hurriedly asked.
"I didn't see the Divine Sect warship, but the people and horses of Chelu and Zou encountered some, but our various bows and crossbows were all opened, which caught them off guard, and the warship took the opportunity to leave, and there was no big battle." The treasure elephant was dusty, and his beard had grown a lot, and it was obvious that the road was not as easy as he said.
"People have brought it." Wu Gen asked again.
"Brought, ambushed 500 men and horses, led by Meng Shun, and hid east of Matai Mountain. The warship stopped in the open sea, and did not dare to approach the shore, but the shuttle followed. Now the Divine Cult is all staring at the north to prevent our army from attacking again, and the vicinity of Daliang City is very poorly defended. Baoxiang grabbed a piece of Wu Gan's leftover cake from the table, and introduced his situation while chewing.
"Gu Miao and Lan Qianye are also here, Gu Miao is laying a formation near the former site of the Daliang City Temple, there are a few of us, plus the formation, presumably this Raushzi priest can't run if he wants to."
Wu Yan nodded, "Let's go, let's go meet this priest." ”
