Chapter 970: The Wandering Healer
On February 9th, King Lan Ji led the envoy group to arrive in Xiping City, and was naturally welcomed by the Bai Ze mercenaries "grandly", when more than 100 members of the envoy were surrounded by Bai Ze mercenaries and entered the Governor's Palace, Lan Ji's face was very ugly, this time the envoy to Xiping City Shang Qian was not there, and King Lan Ji had no trump card in his hands.
The Chamber of the Governor's Palace, resplendent and splendid, is like a palace.
Sikong Yao stepped on leather boots with long legs and a golden cloak, sitting on the throne at the end of the golden steps like a queen, and below him were two rows of Bai Ze mercenary generals wearing armor and eyes like torches, all of them were murderous, as if they would swallow King Lanji alive at any time.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Lan Ji!"
Sikong Yao stood up and saluted.
King Lan Ji was a little frightened, and said, "Lord Yao is too polite!"
Sikong Yao went straight in: "I don't know what His Highness came to Xiping City for this time? More than two months ago, His Highness invited Bai Ze mercenaries to go on an expedition to aid Dongning City, and we have done it, this Xishan Province is a fief that His Majesty personally issued an edict to canonize to the little girl, shouldn't it be a remorse?"
"No...... How come?"
King Lan Ji's face was full of embarrassment, and he said: "This time this king came just to ask about the Huoyuan Province, Huoyuan Province is one of the four major provinces of the empire, and it was originally the fief of Marshal Bei Minghuan, Your Majesty wants this king to ask, why did Bai Ze mercenaries usurp to seize all the states and counties in Huoyuan Province?
"Oh, that's the case......" Sikong Yao turned around and sat down on the throne again, and said with a smile: " Here's the thing, the 400,000 army of the Heavenly Absolute Empire was routed through Huoyuan Province, burning and looting everywhere, for the safety of the people and the common people, so I ordered Bai Ze mercenaries to chase and kill, but the enemy army was too strong, we were defeated repeatedly, and finally lost one city after another, and when the army of the Heavenly Absolute Empire passed by, most of the cities in Huoyuan Province had already fallen, and when I wanted to retake it, I found that Huoyuan City had been occupied by the demon army under the command of the Demon Emperor's female killer, but now the empire's strength is exhausted and it is not suitable to go to war, so I privately decided to negotiate peace with the Demon Emperor's female killer, and temporarily lend Huoyuan Province to the demon spirit clan to live, and they will coexist peacefully with the human peopleThis is the promise of the female murderer to me. ”
"Borrow?"
King Lan Ji couldn't help laughing: "There has never been such a ridiculous thing since ancient times, where is there a reason for the city to borrow? Not to mention that the Lord of Yao County has lent out a quarter of the territory of the Tianji Empire at once, where can there be such a way to borrow?"
Sikong Yao spread his hands and smiled: "Then I have no choice, anyway, there are now 200,000 demon spirits living in Huoyuan City, and the female killer personally guards it, if King Lanji feels that he has the ability to recapture Huoyuan Province, then even if he takes it, my Sikong Yao will definitely not intervene anyway." ”
The corners of King Lan Ji's mouth twitched a few times, the combat power of the demon spirit clan is obvious to the world, to destroy the 200,000 demon spirit army, it is impossible without double the strength, and Sikong Yao is not alarmist.
"County Lord, how long have you lent out Huoyuan Province?" King Lan Ji began to look for room to maneuver.
"A year. Sikong Yao said.
"One year ......" King Lan Ji frowned and said, "Since this is the case, then a year, after a year, Gong Shuai will naturally lead the imperial army to Huoyuan Province to regain the lost territory, and at that time, even if the demon spirits are unwilling, it will not be possible." ”
"That's natural, His Royal Highness King Lan Ji won't come to Xiping City just for this, right?"
"Naturally not. ”
King Lan Ji waved his hand lightly: "Someone is coming, please give your majesty a holy edict." ”
A waiter respectfully stepped forward with a golden scroll.
Suddenly, Liu Buyi and other generals of Bai Ze's mercenaries on both sides knelt down one after another, and Sikong Yao also knelt on one knee on the steps, silent.
The waiter said loudly: "Bai Ze mercenaries are extremely brave, break the enemy and seize the city to boost the country's prestige, Xiping County Lord Sikong Yao is both wise and brave, can be called the treasure of the country, but the enemy is not peaceful, recently I heard that the Black Stone Empire has repeatedly violated the heart, that is, Sikong Yao led the Bai Ze mercenaries to attack the northern border of Lieshan Province, and the 100,000 weapons, 50,000 sets of armor and 1 million stone military rations used by the military department will arrive within ten days, and the troops will be dispatched immediately after arrival, without delay!"
Sikong Yao raised his head: "Minister...... Thanksgiving!"
King Lan Ji smiled slightly: "Your Majesty said, as long as it is the land captured by the county lord of Xiping, it will be canonized to the county lord and Bai Ze mercenaries, if the county lord can really come to the city of Qianshan City and conquer the imperial capital of the Black Stone Empire, then Your Majesty will canonize the county lord as the king of Xiping, this is the first queen with a different surname on the Tianji Continent......"
"Sounds pretty good. ”
The corners of Sikong Yao's mouth raised, and said: "Please go back and tell Your Majesty that Sikong Yao will do his best to serve the Tianji Empire, but also ask Your Majesty to speed up the delivery of supplies to us, Bai Ze's mercenaries are now short of people, horses, weapons, and everything, if Your Majesty does not give enough supplies, I'm afraid we will not be able to attack Qianshan City." ”
"Yes, the king will tell His Majesty what he said. ”
"Well, thank you, there will be a banquet at the Governor's Palace tonight, and I invite Your Highness to enjoy your face. ”
"Thank you. ”
When King Lan Ji and his party went to the post house to rest, Sikong Yao waved his hand lightly, and a group of generals of Bai Ze's mercenaries all dispersed, and Lin Muyu, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi in the side hall also walked out.
"What should I do, Brother Ayu?!" Sikong Yao frowned lightly and said: "The emperor wants me to attack Lieshan Province, isn't this to catch ducks on the shelves, although Bai Ze's mercenaries can be regarded as strong soldiers, but to attack Shi Yuan's lair, this is tantamount to asking for a dead end, let alone Shi Yuan, even Lei Yanzong's dragon seal will not agree." ”
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't have an idea yourself, but I see that you have a mind when you receive the order." ”
"People always have to pretend to show others!"
Sikong Yao pouted, inadvertently revealing a little bit of the girl's appearance next door, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Muyu's wrist and said, "No matter what, you and Sister Qin Yin and Sister Tang Xiaoxi must think of a way for me before leaving the Tianji Continent!"
"There is a way, too. ”
"Oh, say!"
Lin Muyu said: "You are far away from the Emperor of Tianji City, you don't need to worry about obeying your will at all, you first pretend to obey, deceive weapons, grain and grass, and then use various reasons to prevaricate and refuse to send troops, in fact, Tianji City has nothing to do with you." ”
"What about the reasons for the prevarication?"
"I still need to teach you this? Come on, A-Yao, listen well, I'll tell you 10,000 reasons, insufficient weapons, soldiers are not accustomed to water and soil, there are many sick people, the city is in disrepair, bandits harass the province, insufficient preparation of grain and grass, rumors in the army are about to mutiny, someone in the court wants to harm you, your grandfather Sikong called you back to eat, the demon emperor and the woman killed have a different heart, you have to guard against it, Xiping City human traffickers are rampant and need to be governed, heroes need to be recruited in various state capitals, people need to be appeased, bad mood, menstrual affairs are coming, a little emotional, appetite is not very good, Too lazy to move around, bad year, rain ......"
Lin Muyu said a lot of reasons, and Sikong Yao opened his mouth wide when he heard it, dumbfounded!
"Alright, stop......"
Sikong Yao held Lin Muyu's wrist and said, "Brother Ayu, you are so powerful......
Tang Xiaoxi sneered: "On the cultivation of an old fritter...... This guy didn't have so many fancy intestines when he first came to Lanyan City, look at the present, Xiao Yin, you don't care, if he goes on like this, how can we control him in the future!"
Qin Yinli smiled lightly: "I can't help this, just think he's smart...... In fact, if this method is made to the Wind Commander, he can come up with more. ”
"That's right, it's all old fritters!"
Lin Muyu said with a smile: "Okay, don't be busy with personal attacks, we have been here in the Tianji Continent for two months, and I don't know if there has been any change in Lanyan City recently, sleep well tonight, set off early tomorrow morning, and return to Lanyan City, as for the Tianji Continent, I will hand it over to Ayao and Liu Buyi." ”
Sikong Yao nodded confidently: "Well, don't worry, leave it to me, then Brother Ayu, when will you come again next time?"
"Next time...... That's probably with an army of millions. ”
"Oh, good!" Sikong Yao's eyes burned, and he smiled: "Brother Ah Yu can really conquer the heart of the Heavenly Extreme Continent?"
"Well, if you defeat the Tianji Continent, you will be the queen of the entire Tianji Continent and pay taxes to Lanyan City every year. ”
"Queen's ......"
Sikong Yao smiled slightly: "The queen is not interested, but Brother Ah Yu wants Ah Yao to be, then I will be, but if you fly to the God Realm, I will also go with you." ”
"Okay, it's a deal!"
......
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi quietly left the Tianji Continent, as if they had never come, but Sikong Yao and the others knew that it was precisely because of Lin Muyu's arrival that Chen Yu's defeat was caused, but now Chen Yu is being brave and fierce in the country, and he doesn't know anything about it at all.
......
Cangnan Province, Yinshan City.
In the spring, the flowers are in full bloom, this small city is as beautiful as a picture scroll, but after repeated wars, the plague spreads, the city is full of refugees, and there are many people infected with the plague.
Outside the city, the grass is full of sky.
One by one, the refugees fell in the grass and wailed in a low voice, there were many kinds of plagues, and each person's symptoms were different, so that the people of the Elixir Department had nothing to do.
A white-robed elixir priest girl frowned slightly, and her face became even more ugly after diagnosing an old man.
"Miss, am I hopeless?" asked the scrawny old man, gasping for breath.
"No, there will be salvation. ”
The girl stood up and said to the two apprentices of the Elixir Division, "Prepare some seven-flavor soup, maybe you can cure them with the right medicine." ”
The two apprentices nodded respectfully: "Yes, Deacon Lan Yan." ”
But at this moment, a voice came from behind Lan Yan-
"The seven-flavor soup is useless, and this plague that causes blood corruption can only be cured with a blood-cleansing soup. ”
......
"Huh?"
Lan Yan has followed Chu Yao for many years, but she has never heard of any marrow washing soup, she turned to look at the person who spoke, and the whole person was stunned, the woman who spoke was tall and slender, wearing a gray robe, but it was difficult to hide the appearance of the city, and the faint arrogance between her eyebrows was not something that ordinary women could have.
"Are you ......," Lan Yan asked.
"Wandering healer, Xiyan. ”
The Seraphic Angel smiled softly, revealing a row of good-looking little white teeth.
