Chapter 258: Fire City Relic
Shen Qiyan looked at Sheng Shiyu's appearance and sneered, "What's the matter with Sheng Yingdi?" Why are you getting more and more delicate? β
"It's a good big man, he was raised as a concubine by the golden house, but he can't be coquettish." Sheng Shi buried his head in Shen Qiyan's neck, and began to pretend with Shen Qiyan again, "If this makes Her Majesty the Empress unhappy one day, I don't have a penny, how can I live." β
Shen Qiyan was amused when he heard Sheng Shiyu's deliberately pretended tone, and pushed his head, "Sheng Shiyu, you are so heavy, didn't you give me a massage?" Why is it pressing on me? β
"I'm tired." Sheng Shiyu gently bit Shen Qiyan's neck with the tip of his teeth, and said indignantly: "I'm mentally exhausted. β
The more Shen Qiyan listened to Sheng Shiyu talk like this, the more he wanted to laugh.
pinched his face and sighed, "I really didn't expect that the dignified actor would live this kind of life one day, but your painting skills are getting higher and higher, and you are making trouble with me now, I see that when you and Su Qi are usually painting there, you don't want to deal with me very much." β
The most convenient thing after Sheng Shiyu came to Huacheng was probably to paint.
He has plenty of time to paint, and there is also Su Qi, a person who knows how to paint, sometimes two big men often paint there all day.
Every time like this, if Shen Qiyan passed, she seemed to be like an outsider.
Referring to this stubble, Sheng Shiyu's tone was obviously normal, but he still wanted to get through the trick, "Oh, then I'm not idle and it's okay, I'm ...... with Su Qi."
Before Sheng Shi finished speaking, a rapid footstep suddenly sounded at the door.
Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and Yu Chi shouted as he ran: ", I'll tell you one at the banquetββ"
But the moment he saw the scene in the bedroom, Yu Chi's whole body froze, and his eyes widened a lot.
When Shen Qiyan just came back from her busy work, she felt so tired that she didn't even close the bedroom door and lay down on the bed directly.
And at this moment, Sheng Shidelia is pressing on her.
When two people are flirting, they naturally don't feel that there is anything in this kind of behavior.
But with outsiders...... The taste changed in an instant.
Yu Chi turned around in an instant, and Sheng Shiyu immediately rolled out of bed.
The movements of the two men are almost synchronous.
"Ahem, what's the matter, brother, tell me."
Shen Qiyan also endured the embarrassment and spoke out.
"I said......" Yu Chi blocked everything in his throat for a while, and changed his words, "I said, can you close the door in the future?" β
Shen Qiyan was also innocent: "We closed the door before, didn't you still break in directly?" β
Yu Chi: "......"
"That's too much of a rush."
"Uh-huh, so what's going on today?" Shen Qiyan also got up from the bed and straightened his hair and clothes.
"The Fire City Lord is dead."
As soon as Yu Chi's words came out, Shen Qiyan and Sheng Shi were shocked simultaneously.
"Huh?"
"What?"
"The news I just received from the diplomatic side, I have also heard that the Fire City Lord has some physical problems in recent years, but I didn't expect it to be so serious, maybe the Fire City Lord also wants to block the news, for fear that the outer city will take advantage of the instability inside the Fire City to attack after being known." Yu Chi was also surprised when he heard the news, because although he had heard that the Fire City Lord was seeking medical treatment in the city, he had heard more about the Fire City Lord's resolute actions and various behaviors.
The Fire City Lord has always left Yu Chi with the feeling that he is a strong person, and he is not too old, and he died suddenly at this age.
It's amazing.
Shen Qiyan's heart instantly turned cold, "So...... After the death of the Fire City Lord...... The city of fire will return to Huoyan? β
If that were the case, how could she ask for the relics?
Originally, I thought that I could save the country from the curve of the Fire City Lord, but I didn't expect the Fire City Lord to die like this.
Yu Chi was also having a headache about this problem, so he told Shen Qiyan as soon as he knew, "The heirs of the Fire City are withering, although the Lord of the Fire City has many favorite concubines and has given birth to many children, but only two of those children can grow to adulthood, one is Huo Yan and the other is Huo Xuanxuan, you have all seen it." β
"You mean, the Fire City Lord only has these two children?" Sheng Shi was also surprised, because when he was in Water City, Shui Miao Miao hated Fire City too much, and would always mention Fire City.
Sheng Shiyu and Shen Qiyan also heard a lot of things about Fire City from Shui Miaomiao.
Shen Qiyan also happened to want to know about the affairs of the outer city, so as to prepare for going to the outer city to get the holy relics in the future.
As a result, I listened to Shui Miaomiao complaining about many things about the Fire City Lord.
Probably in Shuicheng in recent years, there have been more and more monogamous people, basically except for the people in the palace, most of the ordinary city residents are monogamous.
Even if they are polyandry, the women of Shuicheng are very good to the male pets.
But not only did Huocheng not change, but he criticized women even more, and the women in Huocheng were notoriously miserable.
In addition, the lord of the fire city really wants to make three thousand beauties in the harem, and this three thousand is not a false word, which makes people dissatisfied when they look at it.
Even the lord of the fire city will get tired of playing with a certain woman, and reward others at will, treating the woman as a plaything.
Shui Miaomiao's attitude towards Huo Yan is not good, and she heard about the style of the Fire City Lord.
Crazy and Shen Qi feasted: "The son is not the fault of the godfather, Huo Yan is like this, and he can't get rid of his perverted father!" β
"The Fire City Lord has nothing to say when dealing with official business, and his attitude towards the outside world is good, but just like the kind of person who disobeys the yang and the yin, he always makes some moves behind his back, which makes people unhappy."
Shui Miaomiao and Shen Qi talked vainly about Huo Yan and those concubines when they had a grand banquet.
As a result, Shen Qiyan and Sheng Shiyu always thought that with so many concubines, there must be a lot of children.
Unexpectedly, there were only Huo Yan and Huo Xuanxuan.
I think it's those things in the harem, competing with each other and being jealous, afraid that the other party will try their best to harm the child because the child's mother is expensive to rely on the child.
Shen Qiyan shook his head, "Fire City is really backward, and this kind of situation is simply the history of Huaguo thousands of years ago. β
"So you're still going to the Fire City to look for the holy relics?" Yu Chi asked, he didn't want Shen Qiyan to go, Yu Chi came here, and he had another thought, that is, he wanted to destroy Shen Qiyan's idea.
So Yu Chi frantically instilled in Shen Qiyan, "Look, it's useless for you to go to Huocheng, Huoyan dared to be so bold in Shuicheng last time." β
"Once you go to Fire City and are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Fire City is not better than Water City, Water City and Flower City have a good relationship, but what kind of demons and monsters are there in Fire City, the current Huo Yan is probably happy, without the constraints of the old city lord, his whole person is free, if you send it to the door, it is a lamb to be slaughtered."
"If Huo Yan is not in order, he will directly use you to blackmail Huacheng, you won't understand the truth of the three fires when the new official takes office, not to mention that Huocheng has always loved killing, and he is rude and arrogant, maybe Huo Yan will take you and officially declare war on Huacheng."
Yu Chi said a lot, Shen Qiyan didn't take the bait at all, "I'm not stupid, now when Huocheng is in trouble, I definitely won't go, Huacheng and Huocheng are not interconnected, and you have to take your identity credentials to register, the identity of the outer city is too conspicuous, it is estimated that I will know it as soon as I enter Huoyan, I will wait to see the situation behind him, Huocheng is estimated to be in civil strife now, I will wait for him to go after the civil strife is over." β
Yu Chi is also relieved, it's okay not to go now, it can be delayed for a while.
"So when did Huacheng's envoy group to Thunder City depart recently?"
Yu Chi: "......"
It's still over, and if you don't go to Fire City, you will move to Thunder City again.
"Ouch." Yu Chi snorted, "Aren't you tired during this time?" Today is just over, you should rest more, don't worry about going to the outer city for now. β
"That's not going to work." Shen Qiyan was tired, but the first thing in her heart was to get the holy relics, "Tell me when it is?" β
"Huacheng just went to Leicheng two months ago, and next time I will go next year, the intersection of Huacheng and Leicheng is the least, Leicheng is also far away from Huacheng, and you can still learn policies when you go to other cities, see if there is a place to learn, the gap between Leicheng and Huacheng is too big."
Shen Qiyan didn't believe it, "How is it possible?" Just once a year? Are you lying to me and don't want me to go? β
Yu Chi spread his hands, "You don't believe that you can go to the diplomatic side to check by yourself, Huacheng and Lei City are originally diplomats once a year, unless there is something important in the city and an invitation is sent, they will go again." β
Shen Qiyan looked at Yu Chi's attitude of answering calmly and quickly, and roughly believed it, if it weren't for this, Yu Chi wouldn't be so calm.
But......
Shen Qiyan was a little worried.
Another year......
It's been too long.
But the turnaround is always sooner than expected.
Following.
Flower City receives a letter from Fire City.
It was sent by Huo Xuanxuan.
She asked Shen Qiyan to go to Fire City in person to attend the funeral ceremony of the old Fire City Lord.
Shen Qiyan didn't want to go to Huocheng, but when she saw the news of Huo Xuanxuan, Shen Qiyan was shaken, and her reason told her not to go, it was probably a trap, but emotionally told her that she could go and take a look, maybe there would be an unexpected gain.
Soon, Yu Yu Yan Yu Chi Yu Rong Yu Zheng all knew about it.
All poured into the hall of Shen Qiyan.
"This is obviously a trap, I can't go."
"The signature of the message is Huo Xuanxuan, is it really Huo Xuanxuan? Maybe it's a trap designed by Huo Yan to let you pass. β
"Even if this news was sent by Huo Xuanxuan, she must be because after the old city lord died, Huo Yan scolded her harshly, and her life was not good, so she wanted you to help her. But you are the Lord of Flower City, how can you interfere in the affairs of Fire City, you better not go. β
"Xia Xia, you just came back from Shuicheng not long ago, you can't go out again, now that you've shown up, those people know what you look like, if something happens, it's not good."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The people in the room, you say everything I say, Shen Qiyan's scalp is numb when he listens.
She silently looked at Sheng Shiyu, helplessly holding her forehead, she didn't know how the news could spread so quickly, obviously she had just come back and talked to Sheng Shiyu, and before she could say a few words, this group of people knew the news......
β¦β¦
Late at night.
Shen Qiyan was lying on the bed, nestled in Sheng Shiyu's arms, his fingers kneading his clothes without a match, and muffled: "Do you think I want to go to Fire City?" β
"You want to go?" Sheng Shiyu listened to Shen Qiyan's eyes when he mentioned this matter during the day, and he roughly guessed one or two.
"I didn't want to go, but when I saw the news of Huo Xuanxuan, I did want to go a little, and I always felt ...... Things seem a little strange. Shen Qiyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "First of all, according to the feelings that Huo Yan gave us in the past, he is an impulsive person, although he is a bad person, but he does things more straightforwardly, and he always feels that this news is not from him." β
"What's more, even if it's him, according to normal people's thinking, if he sends me this message, then I must be more wary in my heart, and I dare not go."
"So if he wants to do something to me, it's always weird."
"And now that science and technology are developing so rapidly, no country wants to go to war, although the people of Fire City are violent, but they should not cause war because they are good at fighting, and the consequences of war are too tragic. What's more, Huacheng's military strength is notoriously powerful, and no city dares to offend us rashly. β
Sheng Shi followed Shen Qiyan's words in vain and said, "So if Huocheng controls you, they will have a bargaining chip." β
Shen Qiyan choked for a moment.
Slightly dissatisfied, Sheng Shi glanced at him, "That's what you think?" Then you still don't want me to go. β
"I don't deny that you have a point, and I don't think anyone wants to start a war right now, and it's strange that news is coming, but I don't want you to take a little risk." Sheng Shi's big hand gently stroked Shen Qiyan's back, "I know you want to go to the outer city to get the holy relic powder, but if something happens to you, how can we go back to Kyoto?" β
Shen Qiyan understands the truth, that is...... Unwillingly, I always feel that I missed this opportunity...... It's hard to come back in the future.
Following.
Flower City received another message from Fire City.
The person in charge of receiving the news from the outer city immediately sent the message to Shen Qiyan's watch.
When Shen Qiyan woke up, two hours had passed since the news.
The moment he saw the news, Shen Qiyan instantly sat up.
It's still the news of Huo Xuanxuan.
She said: Please come to the Lord of the Flower City, Xuan Xuan knows that you are worried in your heart, and I don't know what to do to dispel your concerns, and please speak up, what do I need to do to make you come to the Fire City?
Shen Qiyan looked at the news, was stunned for a while, and reacted for a while.
Reply: Send the Fire City Holy Relic to the Flower City, and I will believe you.
After Shen Qiyan passed the news over, he spent the whole afternoon discussing with Sheng Shi in vain, how the incident developed more and more strangely.
Huo Xuanxuan's news seemed to reveal a kind of helplessness, a kind of begging.
She seemed to need Shen Qiyan very much.
Yu Chi said with a look of surprise: "She must just want you to help her." β
"Now that Huo Yan is in power, her life must be difficult, probably because you helped her when you were in Shuicheng before, she saw that you were easy to talk to, so she wanted you to give her a little support."
"To put it bluntly, she'll use you as a gunman."
Shen Qiyan didn't think about it that much, "Anyway, I made my request, if she can do it, then I will go to Fire City, if I can't do it, then I won't go." β
Yu Zheng pondered for a moment, "Then you shouldn't have to go." β
"The holy relics of the Fire City seem to be a little more important than the other cities, the temperature of the Fire City is very high, and the Holy Relics of the Fire City can be regarded as an important thing to stabilize the temperature, if the holy relics leave the Fire City for a short time, it is not a big deal, but if they leave for a month, it seems that the temperature will start to rise."
"Even the city lord doesn't dare to take away the holy relics, let alone the current Huo Xuanxuan."
Everyone didn't have any expectations for Huo Xuanxuan.
But something came to everyone's surprise.
Late at night.
Huocheng actually sent someone to send the Huocheng holy relics overnight.
