Chapter 17: Plan before you act
Elephant Hunting City, the camp of the middle army of the Feather Country.
Because of Meng Huzong's peace, there was no war on the front line, and the soldiers of Yuguo could breathe a sigh of relief and ease their spirits a little.
Peace is on the horizon, and the survivors are happily looking forward to a peaceful future.
But their boss, Princess Yutong, was not happy at this time, her future and the future of Yuguo did not seem to be the same future.
Princess Yutong looked at the notice from the Yu family and said nothing,
It was the order of the marriage that was finally delivered to her, and she had thought of countless ways to end the war, but she never expected that it would end like this.
Dabi in Lingzhou? Guarding the Feather Country? I should have understood it a long time ago:
It's all about the family!
This sentence is too heavy.
She can fight to the death with other geniuses in Dabiri, Lanling Prefecture, and can return to the front line to resist the invasion of Meng Huzong, but she can't resist the family's fate.
Maybe it's a kind of Romeo-like fate.
Thinking about the lost half of the country of Yu, thinking about the generals who fought side by side with him, and thinking about cultivating his family with all his might, Yu Tong didn't know how to say this little thing.
In the eyes of the world, she is the noble princess of Yuguo, the enlightened Jindan Zhenren, and the hope of the whole Yu family, but in the eyes of her parents, she is a daughter and a person named Yutong.
She didn't have a choice,
She could only gather the officers and make the marriage public,
And also......
Tell me what happened.
The atmosphere on the front line is solemn, and the national capital is also surging.
Although they were beaming on the surface, the news that Yu Guo and Meng Huzong were going to tie the knot of Qin and Jin and the news that the Yu family was about to have a new Yuan Ying were all gone, and the families in the national capital were celebrating with the Yu family.
The Yu family even announced in this name that the autumn hunt would be opened early and open to all monks for free.
The major immortal chain industries have also announced the arrival of the grand event in Lingzhou, and each of them must gather high-level and senior guests to participate.
The treasure offering meeting of the Duobao Pagoda, the Hundred Flowers Meeting of the Xianyuan Division, the Danxian Meeting of the Danding Pavilion, etc., are all in front of this autumn hunt that opened in advance at the same time.
Every grand event transferred the important figures of their power out of the capital of the Yu Kingdom, and they didn't even care about such a good business opportunity as Autumn Hunting.
Although these events are true, they are too big,
Business does not speak of business, there must be strangeness.
But the monks who were staring at the countless treasures of heaven and earth in the royal hunting ground didn't have the heart to care about this,
There are not many opportunities for this kind of white prostitution, it can be said that it is the first time in the 600 years since the founding of the Yu Kingdom!
Don't miss out! Don't miss out!
Qiaozhu also discovered the clue again, since the last time she found the abnormality, she watched for a few days again, this time these high-level actions are too outrageous, she really can't feel at ease.
The wealth and land law, the cultivation of immortal resources has always been the foundation of the monk's cultivation and competition, and the Yu family is now generous to give away their important immortal cultivation resources indiscriminately for free.
It's weirder than the sun coming out of the west.
And the major immortal industries have left the national capital one after another, although the excuse is that the immortal period is a grand event,
They didn't use a more convenient teleportation array, but drove a flying boat, which was too weird.
From the perspective of probability theory, the probability of these strange things happening at the same time is almost zero.
But it just happened,
This can only mean one thing,
Good or bad, it's clear that there's something big coming,
She held an emergency family meeting with Gongsun Hongye and them on this matter, Xie Yuanqian has not come back yet, and it is up to everyone to decide whether to leave or stay.
On Xie Yuanqian's side, they successfully picked the black water lotus before, but they have not yet returned to the national capital.
Why?
Because the information of the base irrigation flower is there.
Xie Yuanqian didn't find it himself, but other monks found it, and along with it there were many other precious medicinal materials.
Therefore, Liu Linhai and his entourage postponed their return to the national capital.
They will participate in an auction led by Duobao Pagoda.
Needless to say, Xie Yuanqian's goal is to irrigate flowers,
Liu Linhai wants to blindly call it a chalk fruit spiritual material,
There is nothing they want, so they should join in the fun.
This auction is led by Duobao Pagoda, and the safety is naturally guaranteed, and of course, the transaction price will definitely not be low.
It depends on whether they have enough money.
At this point, the story of their three parties has begun, and let's see how the follow-up unfolds.
The first to move on the timeline are Gongsun Hongye and them.
Qiaozhu worriedly told everyone her opinion,
"Now that the master is not here, please let the lady decide whether to move again."
Although Xie Yuanqian was not at home, his spirit was transmitted to Gongsun Hongye.
Gongsun Hongye opened his mouth to be Xie Yuanqian's sentence:
"The husband once said that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, without further ado, move quickly!"
Danqing, Miaobi and Jiayao each had their own doubts, and asked three times in a row:
"This cave blessed land is so wanted?
We're gone, what if we come back?
Where do we go? ”
The Xie family's Dinghai Shenzhen Li Shixia Lu Ziguang, she had already prepared for these things,
In fact, Xie Yuanqian took precautions, and had already explained the emergency plan to Li Shixia, and now he is just sharing it with you.
She said beyond doubt,
"Needless to say, I'll leave today, only bring important things, I will give it to Sister Fang, Xie Yuanqian has already decided where to go, take the teleportation array to the north, and go to the capital of Chuyun Country in Lingzhou to wait for him!"
With Li Shixia's decision, the women had no other questions, and immediately packed all their belongings and were ready to set off at any time.
Li Shixia was not ambiguous, and immediately contacted Lou Fang and gave her this blessed land, asking her to make it convenient for her family to temporarily cut the queue and use the teleportation array.
Lou Fang's side was very puzzled when she heard that they were in a hurry to leave.
"Sister Xia, how can you say that you can just leave? Hasn't Xie Yuanqian come back yet? ”
Li Shixia has her own rhetoric,
"Sister Fang! Xie Yuanqian has already explained this matter, and the matter is urgent, so you should leave as soon as possible, right? ”
Lou Fang is stupid, why is it so urgent? You can make it clear,
"Sister Xia, what do you mean by leaving early? Did you hear something? ”
Li Shixia didn't hide it from her old friend, and lowered her voice and said,
"Sister Fang, before our family was able to come to this country in time to take refuge, it was Qiaozhu's timely warning, but now Qiaozhu said, this time the matter is only bigger! Xie Yuanqian instructed before leaving, if there is a change, you must not hesitate."
Yes? This......
Did Miss Qiaozhu overreact a little?
What did Xie Yuanqian explain here?
Old friend Li Shixia's words are very chattering and a bit groundless, Lou Fang will definitely have doubts.
But listening to Li Shixia's hurried and eager tone, she didn't help as an old friend, so she could only compromise,
She said helplessly:
"Sister Xia, your family will toss! I'll say hello to the guards on the other side of the teleportation array right now. ”
Li Shixia received an affirmative reply and said gratefully,
"Sister Fang! Thank you so much! We've got you covered with this blessed place! ”
Lou Fang was even more shocked when she heard that she didn't even want them to be blessed with heaven, but Li Shixia's side had already cut off contact, and it was estimated that she was in a hurry to go to the teleportation array.
Lou Fang could only suppress her doubts first and help them deal with the teleportation array first.
Li Shixia did immediately beckon everyone to rush to the teleportation array, and Lou Fang was already waiting for them in person at the teleportation array, she really couldn't rest assured that Li Shixia's family was there.
It will take some time for the teleportation array to start, and Lou Fang alone summoned Li Shixia aside to ask,
"Sister Xia, did you get into trouble in the imperial capital?"
Li Shixia said with a smile,
"Sister Fang, how could it be? We don't go out of the house much, where can we get into trouble? ”
Think about it, then you are really in such a hurry to leave because of Qiaozhu's intuition?
I believe her too much, right?
"Did Qiaozhu really find something abnormal? Could it be Qiaozhu she ......"
Hearing Lou Fang, she was about to suspect Qiaozhu, Li Shixia interrupted her in a hurry and defended Qiaozhu Dao,
"Sister Fang! Qiaozhu has no second heart for Xie Yuanqian! The last disaster was really discovered by her in advance. ”
Lou Fang just kindly reminded her, she didn't expect their family to trust each other so much.
The conversation is not finished here, but the teleportation array over there is something different.
Gongsun Hongye anxiously reflected to Li Shixia,
"Master, it's not good! The teleportation array is broken! ”
What!
!!!
The teleportation array is actually broken?!
Such a coincidence???
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.
Qiaozhu faintly felt as if it was a little too late:
It's all my fault! If only I had spoken about it earlier.
Lou Fang was infected by their anxious atmosphere, and she was also a little suspicious:
Could it really be that the capital of the country has changed? But Han Li didn't receive any news?
Li Shixia is thinking about how to break the game:
It's really not the right time for the teleportation array to break, I can't wait! Gotta think of something else!
Lou Fang asked the personnel stationed in the teleportation array,
"Did the teleportation array break down suddenly?"
The garrison knew Lou Fang, and they also allowed Li Shixia and them to use the teleportation array in advance for the sake of the face of the chief of the guard of the national capital.
When the adults asked, they replied truthfully:
"Mrs. Hui, the teleportation array should have been repaired in the near future, but the Duobao Pagoda transferred Dong Keqing to the treasure offering meeting, and now it happens to be broken, and we can't do anything about it!"
It turned out to be a false alarm! This teleportation array is just a coincidence, but this multi-treasure pagoda is also true, why don't you leave a guest secretary to overhaul it in advance!
"Sister Xia, you also heard it, it's just a coincidence, don't worry about it."
Qiaozhu felt more and more that something was wrong, but it was not easy to say it clearly, so she could only ask Li Shixia for help.
Li Shixia thought about it left and right, and really had a flash of urgency:
Duobao Pagoda!
Give money and you can buy what you want!
Their flying boats!
Li Shixia was afraid that she would make a mistake this time, so she didn't explain to Lou Fang, and after saying goodbye in a hurry, she went directly to Duobao Pagoda with a large family.
The steward of the Duobao Pagoda saw so many of them, and thought that they were in a hurry to pick up ornaments.
"Oh yo! Distinguished guests, please, now the jewelry is a big deal! ”
Li Shixia and they are naturally not here to buy jewelry, they are in a hurry! Very urgent! It's not too late to run for your life.
"Shopkeeper! We're going to take a flying boat with a lot of pagodas! ”
Hearing that so many of them wanted to take a flying boat, the shopkeeper was also embarrassed.
"Eh! I say, guest, you're not in a hurry! It's time for my treasure offering meeting, and there is really no extra place on this flying boat! ”
Looking at the attitude of the pagoda, Li Shixia became more and more convinced of Qiaozhu's judgment, but now there is no other good way, she only has the way to increase the price.
"Shopkeeper, we have a lot of people, and the price is up to you! And we don't want to be able to stay in the guest room, just leave a place on the boat, we can get off the boat in Taili Immortal City, it will definitely not affect you! ”
In such a hurry? What's so urgent?
"I wonder why your guests are in such a hurry to leave?"
Li Shixia must have played independently here,
"My husband was plotted in the Eryuan swamp, and sent someone to ask for help overnight, he is now in danger, our family is anxious, and please make it convenient for the shopkeeper!"
Hearing Li Shixia say this, the shopkeeper was a little moved,
If she just got off the boat in Taili Immortal City, she could make a fortune.
"Since the guests are so urgent, I can't be unkind to the pagoda, the ship fare is 10,000 spirit stones per person, plus the introduction fee, a total of 100,000 spirit stones."
One hundred thousand spirit stones is a lot for ordinary monks, but for Xie Yuanqian, who started with Blue Star culture, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Of course, Li Shixia would not pay the full amount directly in such a daze, she first pretended to be very embarrassed, discussed it with the female dependents, and then everyone put it together together,
Pretending to be bankrupt, he barely scraped together the 100,000 spirit stones and handed them over to the steward.
The steward was not polite, appraised on the spot, and lowered the price in front of them.
"Inferior glass beads, 10,000 spirit stones.
Top-grade Pei Yuan Dan, 10 bottles, 5000 spirit stones
……”
Li Shixia, when they heard him, they meant that they insisted on asking for a price! But now that he has a request for help, he can only watch him evaluate at will.
Fortunately, this profiteer just wanted to covet the extra spirit stones, and did not increase the price more.
The steward pretended to be generous and said,
"Oops! 100,000 spirit stones are just enough, so let's take this jade plate and go on the boat today! Remember! Be sure to disembark at Taili Immortal City! ”
After that, he pocketed the small pile of belongings and gave them a jade talisman from the miscellaneous area.
Li Shixia and their goal of going abroad have been achieved, so naturally they will not have more rights and wrongs.
"Don't worry! We're still rushing to save my husband! ”
Li Shixia is coming now with her mouth open,
There is still some time before the unitary time, but everyone is very patient in the flying boat docking station of the Duobao Pagoda waiting for the arrival of the unitary time.
The original plan was to go to Chuyun Kingdom, but now they can only go directly to Xie Yuanqian, they are really afraid that there will be other accidents, so they are very determined to wait here.
Why do they believe in Duobao Pagoda so much, aren't they afraid of the shopkeeper's two ends to eat?
Small greed is small, harm people is big, Duobao Pagoda still has this reputation, and Li Shixia and they are not worth a few dollars, so it is not worth it to waste their minds for them.
When Li Shixia and the others were waiting, Princess Yutong had already finished explaining the future.
"After I am gone, the army disbands on the spot! You're all going home! ”
"Your Highness!" ×999
The generals all knew what the price of their return home was, but even if Princess Yutong herself had no way to resist, they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak, secretly hating the ruthlessness of the Yu family.
Princess Yutong looked at these soldiers who were loyal to the country, and suddenly felt that she owed something to them:
In the end, it's my Yu family who lost the Yu country! My marriage can be regarded as a peaceful life for the people of Yu Country, and it is worth it!
"I'm going back to the national capital alone, Hanmei, Yingxue! The two of you go home separately, you don't have to follow me to marry the Demon Sect far away!" ”
Hanmei, Yingxue is Princess Yutong's personal maid, so she is naturally loyal to her.
"Princess!"
Princess Yutong ordered them strongly,
"It's an order! Go home! ”
After Princess Yutong finished announcing the last order, she flew to the national capital on the fire feather crane.
Only the soldiers who were left to salute the route she had gone away until the next day.
It was a sunny day, but the elephant hunting city was full of gloomy clouds.
They really couldn't do anything this time.
I can only send their last tribute to Princess Yutong.
Although the Fire Feather Immortal Crane is a spirit beast, it can't fly directly back to the capital from the border, so Princess Yutong still has to settle in Taili Immortal City.
It is already clear that Xie Yuanqian will definitely go to Taili Immortal City in a while...... Right?
Unfortunately, it's not.
Whether it is the secret realm chance, the battle of the feather country, the trap of the national capital, and the plot of cultivating immortals, he has not participated in all of them, and he has avoided all these crises prepared for the protagonist.
Although this is a bit of a plot need, it is actually all Xie Yuanqian's own choice.
Because he cultivates the Gou Dao!
Even if he was at the place of the incident, he would definitely not rush to find a chance to suffer like an ordinary protagonist,
Stepping into the center of the storm is too inconsistent with the doctrine of lying flat, and it is really not a matter of doing it.
