Chapter 407: One Big and One Small
Sure enough, the Shimen caravan successfully used a carriage to pick up the bones of the escort and the mission, and transported it more than three miles forward, just in time to meet the returning escort spies.
The two sides exchanged faces, and the spies led the Shimen caravan to meet Xiang Yunhuan, the deputy captain of the escort team.
The leader died, and the deputy automatically became the leader.
The team, which had been invincible a few hours ago, was resting in the stone forest, and its morale was quite low. He Lingchuan glanced over and saw that most of them were injured.
Shi Er's family wanted to return the corpses of the escort to Yunhuan, but the latter hesitated and actually asked the Shimen caravan to continue to transport the remains of his companions to Baiyang Town in front, where the escort would receive them.
Although it was unfortunate to carry the dead, Shi Er's master agreed very quickly this time, because he promised Yunhuan: "I will report your contribution to the top."
Shi Er's family also saw that most of the carriages and horses of the escort team had been lost, and the number of dead and wounded was too large, and they could not even take the corpses on their own, so they could only rely on the transportation capacity of these civilian caravans.
It was an extremely depressing day for the entire convoy.
The Wind Demon, who had disappeared for hundreds of years, suddenly appeared, the envoys of the Red Yan Kingdom were taken captive, and the escort suffered heavy losses, and even the spirit seed entrusted by the Treasure Tree King was gone.
What's even more aggrieved is that they haven't even figured out who is behind the scenes.
Fortunately, the envoys of the White Elephant Kingdom and the Suluo Kingdom are still alive, and the captain himself has been killed, so Xiang Yunhuan can still make a difference when he returns.
In any case, the next thing has to be done, the team still has to be bringed, and these more than 100 people are still counting on him.
Xiang Yunhuan was in a strong spirit, waved his hand and beckoned a bird of prey, ordering it to fly back to Fufeng City first to deliver the news. He himself had to continue the unfinished mission, send the two envoys to the northern border, and then return to Fufeng City to receive his guilt.
When the birds of prey flew down, He Lingchuan knew that there were still a few bird demons secretly following the escort team, and they didn't show up in the battle, probably because the wind was too strong, and they couldn't get close to the wind demons at all.
These high-altitude scouts are too useful to be eyeliners and messengers, He Lingchuan sighed as usual.
He heard Shi Er's family comforting Xiang Yunhuan and said, "This road has been peaceful for hundreds of years, who would have expected that Feng Lian would come to carry out a sneak attack? I don't blame the adults for this, and the boss won't blame him. γ
Xiang Yunhuan frowned.
He Lingchuan answered: "Why the Wind Demon can resurrect is worth scrutinizing. If you can figure it out to adults, it can be regarded as clearing a hidden danger for this important pathway. γ
Wind Demon Rock and Black Stone Village are one of the important nodes of the Baoshu Kingdom connecting the north and south, and all the cars and horses from the south to the north pass through. If the Wind Demon is resurrected, it will definitely pose a major threat to the centaurs who pass through the tundra.
So He Lingchuan's words are not exaggerated at all. Shi Er's master also sighed: "Yes, didn't this wind demon have already been taken away by my king? Could it be that in the past four hundred years, a second wind demon has been raised here? γ
There is a strange meridian divine wind on the Wind Demon Rock, since it was able to give birth to the first Wind Demon countless years ago, how do you know that it can't raise another one?
He Lingchuan waved his hand slightly: "Earth, water, fire, and wind, the possibility of cultivating spirituality for these natural elements is not as good as one of the millions of other demons." Of course, there is a specific premise for this, which is the current environment.
Needless to say, in the ancient times, in a world full of spiritual energy, any moth can run all over the ground, only you can't think of it.
"Even if a second Wind Demon was born and raised, how could it be so coincidental that it was still in the Ethereal Sect's old land?"
Shi Er has been with him for more than a month, and he already has a little understanding of his temperament: "Brother He, don't sell Guanzi, you must know something."
"We have all visited the former site of the Ethereal Sect, and the stone cave at the exit has three cliff characters, which are engraved in the language of the ancient immortals, 'Fengbo Rock,'"
"Therefore, in ancient times, the Ethereal Sect and the locals actually called the Wind Demon 'Feng Bo,'" he said. He Lingchuan said lightly, "To them, this thing is likely to be a spiritual creature that guards the Immortal Sect and the entire tundra, not a demon. Then 'the Wind Lion is a sculpture created in imitation of his image.'"
People erect statues for gods, saints, mountains and rivers, believing that these can protect and protect themselves.
Then the ancients were wind demonsββββ or style uncles
Like, it's not surprising.
"But have you noticed, the Wind Lion Lord basically appears at the same time, one big and one small. He Lingchuan took out a pair of Min Shiye from the storage ring, the big one was as tall as a person, and the small one was only less than three feet.
Shi Er's master recalled what he saw in the cave, and couldn't help but nod: "Indeed, it is true! The national lion in the field and the cave all appear in pairs, and I heard the locals say that this is the male and female of the wind lion. γ
"How can the Wind Demon be a male and a female?" Xiang Yunhuan had also heard those legends, and he looked at He Lingchuan, "You mean, the Ethereal Sect actually has two wind demons?"
"yes, one big and one small." He Lingchuan patted the stone carving, "It's like these two ends."
Art always comes from reality, if there are no two-headed wind demons, why did the Ethereal Sect create such a sculpture?
"You're saying that my king has subdued one wind demon and left the other missing?"
This statement is very dangerous, and He Lingchuan will not accept it: "This is what you said.
Xiang Yunhuan: "..."
He Lingchuan patted the little wind lion master: "The wind lion may not be divided into male and female, but he can be divided into father and son. This small one may be born of a big one. Or is it called "differentiation"?"
The Treasure Tree King himself does not distinguish between male and female, but the spirit seed it gives birth to is equivalent to a doppelganger.
Then why can't the Wind Demon?
Xiang Yunhuan said abruptly, "Even if the Little Wind Demon has survived, why did it suddenly attack us after four hundred years of separation? Is it awakened? Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly straightened, "Could it be that it has something to do with the Red Yan Emissary?"
His mission on this trip was mainly to send the three envoys back to the north.
The attack of the wind demon caused chaos in the situation, and someone took the opportunity to kidnap the envoy of the Red Yan Kingdom and jumped directly from the cliff.
At that time, the wind was too strong for the bird demon to get close to the battlefield. After the battle, Xiang Yunhuan had already sent the bird demon down the cliff to look for it, but he knew in his heart that ninety percent of them would not be found.
The people behind the scenes made such a big battle, and even risked offending the Treasure Tree King, just to capture the Red Yan Envoy?
What is so rare about a mere messenger who enters the country to celebrate his birthday is just an ordinary human being?
"Do you know from Lord Xiang that before the Treasure Tree King's Shoudian, that is, on the night when Emperor Liulu appeared, the deputy envoy of the Xunling Kingdom was killed? According to investigation, the other party wanted to find the envoy of the Yamawa Kingdom, but he got the wrong object. γ
"I know that the deputy envoy of the kingdom of Ngling has been killed. Xiang Yunhuan looked at He Lingchuan's eyes strangely, "Who are you?"
Despite the boy's magnificence, he was so frustrated that he didn't even bother to ask for the other person's name.
He Lingchuan showed the silver medal of the Taifu Mansion: "I have some relationship with the Sha Xinghai Sha Gongzi of the Taifu Mansion, and I was invited to the celebration to watch the ceremony."
In the land of the Treasure Tree Country, this thing is really easy to use.
Shi Er's master smiled and helped: "Gongzi He has already promised Taifu Sha that after going to Lingxu City to do things, he will return to Fufeng City as an official."
He was very particular about what he said, and it sounded like Mrs. Sha begging He Lingchuan to go back to be an official.
"I see." Xiang Yunhuan was wary of it, after all, it was not strange for a virtuous person to serve in the Demon Kingdom, and sometimes it would flow between countries, "You mean, this series of schemes is aimed at the envoy?"
He Lingchuan spread his hands: "It's just a guess."
"No, no, you have a point." Xiang Yunhuan said, "I was also in charge of the post house, which is part of the garrison of the willow house. The two envoys of the Yamayu Kingdom and the Chiyan Kingdom lived in the same walled courtyard. γ
The other party first aimed at the envoy of the Mountain Feather Kingdom, and then took away the envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom, and these two lived opposite each other in Fufeng City.
It's not a coincidence, is it?
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "These two envoys communicate with each other, and it is too convenient. Isn't there a handover?"
Xiang Yunhuan nodded: "Reasonable. If these two have any conspiracy, they can make an appointment to meet at my king's birthday ceremony."
He thought for a moment and said, "When the mission from the Yamawa Kingdom arrived at Fufeng Castle, it was two days later than the original date. Listening to the miscellaneous servants of the team, there were thieves on the road who took away the envoy's storage bag, which contained silver money, miscellaneous items, and paperwork for customs clearance, and they spent a little
Time to catch up."
"Lost something?"
"I didn't lose it, it's said that I have recovered it."
He Lingchuan suddenly said, "No wonder the mission of the Yamawa Kingdom did not pass through the Sanxin Plateau as scheduled, it turned out that something was delayed on the way."
Fu Shanyue did not guard the prey there, and the result was that the envoy of the Gorling Kingdom became a substitute for the dead ghost.
At this time, the fowl demon sent by the escort team returned and said that the body of the Red Yan Emissary was found on the mountainside of the Wind Demon Cliff, and his neck was twisted and died.
Hearing the news, Xiang Yunhuan couldn't help but press his temples, and the trace of luck in his heart was also knocked out. It seems that the man behind the scenes has already got what he wants.
Then he had to be busy again, and he didn't have time to talk to the two of them again.
He still has a lot of trouble to deal with.
And He Lingchuan finally strung the cause and effect into a line.
The Yamawa Kingdom wanted to give gifts to the king of Chiyan Kingdom, but instead of sending it to the other country in the usual way, it took advantage of the opportunity of the 800th birthday celebration of King Baoshu, and the envoy of the Yamaba Kingdom brought the treasure to the post house in Fufeng City, and handed it over to the envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom to bring back.
In other words, it was a private transaction between the two monarchs, and it was not made public.
But Fu Shanyue didn't know where to get this information, and planned to intercept the treasure halfway. He first went to the Sanxin Plateau, the road that the envoys of the Yamafa Kingdom must pass, to ambush him, but unexpectedly, the emperor's flow of pulp broke out, and he killed the envoys of the Eling Kingdom; However, the envoy of the main son of the Mountain Feather Kingdom was delayed because of the stolen bag with him, and he did not enter the killing array laid by Fushan Yue, but came to Fufeng City safely all the way and completed the docking with the envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom.
Then this "treasure" was signed by the envoy of the Chijun Kingdom.
Fu Shanyue had to follow Fufeng City.
He was planning to attack the envoy of the Chi country, but he knew that He Lingchuan wanted to avenge Sanxinyuan's pursuit, and gave him a report backhand, and the government came to the door.
Fushiyama's plans were once again put on hold.
Fortunately, this guy is indomitable and has PLANC, that is, he used the Wind Demon to intercept the escort and take advantage of the chaos to rob the envoy of the Red Yan Kingdom.
