17 The lord of Yuqing City
Jielan thought for a while, but seeing that this Red Shangshu was sincere and had no power, it must have been said that it didn't matter to him, and said: "White Devil Chengfeng, he has received a sword from the Demon Slaying Sword, and he needs the Blue Demon Lord to be cured." ”
The red Shangshu was even more surprised when he heard the white devil, and his face couldn't help but change, obviously this had clarified his guess, the woman in front of him was the blue devil, and the white devil also came to this Qing Zhou city.
"I didn't expect that the White Devil, who is the Sage Venerable of the Royal City, would be injured, this surprised me a little, I will discuss it with a few ministers, and then make a decision, please wait for a while."
Although Jielan was in a hurry, she had to agree, and she nodded. The red Shangshu entered the inner hall and discussed with many officials of the Shangshu Department.
Jielan and Qi Xue were waiting outside, both of them were extremely nervous, afraid that they would not agree to their request, and after waiting for about half an hour, the red Shangshu finally walked out.
Jielan hurriedly asked, "I wonder how the adults discussed?" Can I go and meet the lord of the city? ”
Hong Shangshu said solemnly: "Since it is the request of the city lord of Chiyan City, I can't help but write this matter to the city lord, the city lord is hunting in Cangling Mountain, a thousand miles to the west, I will send guards to send you there, because the Blue Demon Lord is also with the lord, but as for whether the city lord will agree to the Blue Demon Lord to treat the white devil's injuries, it depends on the city lord's intentions." ”
When Jielan heard this, she hurriedly retreated and left, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, but please Lord Shangshu send someone to lead us there, and the two of us will be grateful." ”
"However, you can only go with the two of you, and as for the white devil, please stay and let me take care of it for the time being." Hong Shangshu said very earnestly, and Jielan had to agree.
"Then I'll bother Lord Shangshu." Jielan said hurriedly: "I wonder if the two of us can go to Cangling Mountain now?" ”
Shang Shu saw that this Jielan was so urgent, and then looked at her dress, so he smiled and said: "It's not enough, it's not too late to let the two of them bathe and change their clothes before they go on the road, if you meet the Lord like this, forgive me for being presumptuous, I'm afraid you will offend Jun Yan, and it is possible to be regarded as an assassin at that time." ”
Jielan's face turned red, feeling that she was a daughter after all, how could she not feel embarrassed when she was told by this red Shangshu, she nodded busily and said, "Everything is arranged by Lord Shangshu!" ”
Hong Shangshu asked the little official to bring two palace maids, and then asked the two palace maids to bring Jielan and Qixue to the back court and prepare water for them to bathe. Jielan was not used to being served, so she let those palace people go down and bathe and wash their bodies.
The feeling of soaking in the hot water made Jielan's fatigue for days suddenly subside, maybe she had been too forced herself, so even if her body was exhausted to the limit, she also held on, but at this moment, Jielan had never been comfortable, but she seemed to know that this kind of comfortable day was not suitable for her as a wanderer, she was just a woman living in killing and rushing.
After washing, the two palace people brought her new clothes, which were made of silk, which were soft and smooth to the touch, which made Jielan a little uncomfortable, and she hurriedly said, "Where are my clothes?" ”
The people of the two palaces didn't expect that the strange and beautiful woman in front of them was still thinking about the tattered and dirty clothes, so they covered their mouths and chuckled: "We have already thrown it away, this is what Lord Shangshu ordered us to prepare, and we will put it on for the messenger." ”
Jielan instinctively shrank back and said, "Please return my clothes, I'll wear my own clothes." ”
The people of the two palaces looked puzzled and puzzled, and at the same time felt very embarrassed, and one of them said thinly: "We have taken and burned all the clothes we lost, and now I'm afraid..."
Jielan was a little stunned, but it was useless to worry about the people in these two palaces, so she had to say: "Okay, but I'll wear this dress myself, you can stand down!" ”
The two palace people retreated, Jielan got out of the bathtub, wiped her body dry, and then put on the white dress, after putting it on, tied the belt made of sea-blue silk thread, and suddenly it was as light as the wind, Jielan only felt very uncomfortable, when she walked out of the screen, she saw another screen behind Qixue walked out.
At this time, Qi Xue also changed into clean and gorgeous clothes, the snow-colored shirt with the goose yellow long skirt looked more delicate. If she wasn't a half-demon, there would have been many men who would have been tempted by her pretty appearance.
Qi Xue saw Jielan after grooming, and she couldn't recognize it for a while, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and then quickly ran to Jielan's side and said, "Lan, you look so beautiful like this." ”
Jielan's face turned red again, and said, "What nonsense, I must be ugly like this." ”
Qi Xue shook her head, "If Chengfeng or that black pig saw you like this, they would definitely be stunned." ”
Overheard Chengfeng's name, Jielan lowered her head, because at this moment, Jielan didn't expect Chengfeng, but the person who was far away in the royal city, she hoped that he could see herself at this time, whether he would be like Qi Xue, full of praise for herself.
But no matter how beautiful and glamorous he is, he can't change his identity.
Jielan couldn't help but sigh and began to blame herself, because at this time, how could she think of him? She hurriedly said, "Let's go!" The most important thing is to inherit the wind. ”
Qi Xue nodded, and the two asked the palace people to take them to meet Lord Nashangshu, and when Hong Shangshu saw Jielan after changing clothes, he almost couldn't recognize it, so far, he had never seen such a beautiful woman who exuded a unique atmosphere, this woman was not just beautiful, but there was a majesty invisibly, and that majesty sometimes made him shudder.
"I wonder if this can go to Cangling Mountain? I also hope that Lord Shangshu can make some arrangements for me! Jielan was already waiting a little anxiously.
Lord Shang Shu raised his hand, but saw that the two guards outside the house were each holding a white tiger waiting outside to receive the order, "These two will go to the city lord with my paperwork and tell the city lord what the two messengers requested, but it is still the same sentence, whether the city lord can help or not depends on the city lord's meaning." ”
Jielan nodded, then made a gesture and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, the two of us will go here." ”
Jielan and Qixue left the ritual department, summoned their respective mounts, and rode on. And the two guards also got on the white tiger, flew into the air, led the way, and flew west.
....................
After walking for about two hours, the two guards, led by the two guards, gradually came across a verdant mountain, which seemed to be full of business, and from time to time many birds came out of the trees, as if something was driving them.
"That's it." The leading guard said, and he began to press down on the head of the cloud and descend towards the city lords who were hunting.
The beasts in the mountains and forests scrambled to be the first, and under the pursuit of horses and the persecution of arrows, they scrambled to flee in panic. The whole mountain forest was filled with the sound of the hooves of the hunting party, and the fleeing beasts were doing their last desperate thing for their lives in the sound of the hooves.
Among the running beasts was a very small white wolf, whose coat was pure white and his eyes were scarlet, and he looked like a superior beast.
In the round-up, there was a man in military uniform, the man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his aura was extraordinary, but his face in his thirties was younger than ordinary people, but it was more stable and vicissitudes.
When he saw the little white wolf, he locked on his prey, and he stretched out his right hand, and one of the guards beside him handed him the bow and arrow, and he took it, looked at the white wolf, and said, "This prey is the favorite that the master has ever encountered." ”
This person is Yu Qing, the city lord of Qing Zhou City, he drew his bow and aimed at the white wolf, but although this white wolf is small, but the speed of running is faster than any beast, the direction of the arrow is just aligned, and the little white wolf actually escaped immediately like lightning.
He simply put away his bow and arrows, and smiled proudly at the little white wolf who was running desperately, "Since it is still so energetic, let's play with him again!" He raised his whip and struck it on the horse's rump with a 'snap', and the horse galloped wildly and chased after the little white wolf.
Suddenly, a dozen other guards also chased after the white wolf, and surrounded it on three sides, and the white wolf suddenly ran away desperately like a plaything being chased and beaten fiercely, but no matter which direction it fled, it would be driven back by these people, and it was obvious that they were trying to consume his physical strength, so that its speed would gradually slow down, and then clean it up.
Maybe because it was too frightened, too desperate, the little white wolf had a line of tears in his eyes, and it began to howl, although the sound was not very far-reaching and loud, but it sounded so desolate in this noisy mountain forest, and finally its speed began to slow down, panting like a deer, because of the panic and couldn't help bumping into the stones in the mountains and forests, it seemed so desolate that it was covered with scars.
Yu Qing saw that the white wolf was tired, and it was obviously the right time, so he pulled the bowstring and shot out violently towards the little white wolf.
The arrow shot like a stream of fire to the head and neck of the little white wolf, only to hear a terrible wail, the little white wolf fell to the ground with an arrow, blood flowed down from the neck, dyed the pure white fur red, and he still had a breath of breath He kept kicking his legs, making a low roar, and finally even the sound of wheezing was weakened, only a line of blood and tears from the corner of his eye flowed down, falling on the blue grass, staining the sudden silence of the woods.
Yu Qing patted his horse and walked to the little white wolf, lifted up the little white wolf that passed through his throat, and said to the guards: "It is said that the white wolf of Cangling Mountain is the holy spirit of the mountain and cannot be disturbed, but today the lord is here, and he wants to tell all the subjects of Qing Zhou City that there is no holy spirit in this mountain, and there is no need to be afraid of this rumor and dare not step into this mountain. ”
When the guards heard the lord's command, they all raised their swords and shouted in response, as if they were cheering for the city lord, and their voices were so loud that almost the entire mountain forest was drowned out by this echo.
Just as the Imperial Forest Army was shouting and shouting, they heard two riding beasts flying down from the sky, and after the riding beast landed on the periphery, the two guards held a document high and trotted towards the city lord of Yuqing, and the thinner and taller guards knelt down and presented the document to the city lord, and said, "Report to the city lord, Lord Shangshu has something urgent to play." ”
