Chapter 32: Undercurrents
There are still 5 days left before the wedding date of the Yu family and Meng Huzong, and the national capital is still a scene of singing and dancing. A steady stream of monks from all over the world came to the royal hunting ground to seek opportunities, and one or two of them were obtained, and four or five were lost.
However, the black market that lacks regulatory order is full of doors in the royal hunting ground, and countless immortal cultivation resources are circulating in it every day, but the Yu family still has no signs of intervening, which makes those who have puffed up their pockets even more carnival.
A short period of economic prosperity has made the country of Hakuni unprecedentedly prosperous, and everyone feels that this is the time when Hakuni is about to usher in its strongest moment.
In the royal hunting ground of the national capital, Meng Ya, the secret agent of Meng Huzong, is taking stock of today's performance,
"One, two, three, four, five..... Well? On the 14th, why are you still one short of the number of heads today!? ”
No. 14 trembled and knelt on the ground and replied,
"Back... Returning to my lordship, there are too many monks missing in the small area of responsibility......"
But before he could finish explaining, Meng Ya waved his hand and took away the head of No. 14 with ease.
"It's okay, that's it."
In the palace, Meng Xianglong, the son of the sect master of Meng Huzong, is enjoying the famous song "Linjiang Immortal" that has risen in Yuguo in recent years
"I really don't know what is so good about these babbling words, and they are also called fairy music, the music of your Yu Kingdom is as soft as your bones!"
Meng Xianglong's voice was so loud that even the fish around the Huxin Pavilion were startled. Even if he was so humiliated, the musicians only dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, after all, this was the son of the Demon Sect and the future sect master of the Demon Sect.
Meng Lingyue, as an elder and an elder of Meng Huzong, was more cautious when speaking in front of outsiders.
"Don't listen to it if it's ugly, you all go down!"
After retiring from others, the uncle and nephew talked again,
"Xiaolong, the time for the wedding is coming, why do you still have the leisure to be happy here?"
Meng Xianglong walked to the railing and fed a handful of fish feed.
"The hunting ground has begun to wrap up, and the so-called young talents in the national capital are all wine bags and rice bags, no wonder it is necessary to rely on a woman to save the country."
Meng Lingyue had to be more experienced in the end, and reminded,
"How many times have you said that beware of the walls with ears! And don't underestimate the enemy! The elite of the Feather Country is not in the national capital. ”
He was so calloused when he heard this kind of thing that Meng Xianglong said disdainfully,
"We're in the Lake Pavilion now, and there's no wall. Besides, are there other characters in Yuguo who are on the stage? ”
Meng Lingyue knew some gossip, and he warned,
"The people of Tailimen are coming to the national capital."
Meng Xianglong was also a little surprised,
"Hasn't Lady Firebone done it yet? Why can Taili Gate still jump? ”
Meng Lingyue is not very clear, the news from his spies is limited,
"The sect master on the side of the Fire Bone Lady will take care of it, the important thing is that we can't go wrong here!"
Meng Xianglong cheered up a little at this time,
"Okay, okay, Young Master Ben is also going to loosen his muscles and bones before the end comes, and he is about to get sick here."
Meng Xianglong instantly changed from a lazy posture to an energetic appearance, only to see his movements strong but gentle, walking in the gorgeous royal lake, only a few ripples, and when he walked to the shore, corpses floated in the lake one after another, some fish and some people.
And he just left a sentence,
"Ants who don't do their best!"
Meng Hu, the sect leader of the Meng Hu Sect, was negotiating with the Fire Bone Lady, looking at the posture, the Fire Bone Lady was very unhappy.
Meng Hu cautiously confided in the progress of his side:
"My son has already started to finish the work on the Yu family's side, and the Taili Gate side will all ask you to be Mrs. Huogu."
The beautiful woman known as the Lady of Fire Bone smiled and threatened,
"Meng Hu, you have to take care of that Yu Tong of the Yu family, otherwise you will ....."
Meng Hu felt the air around him gradually burn hot, but his forehead was full of cold sweat,
"Seniors rest assured! You want people, I want Meng Hu Sect to want land, everything is in the plan. ”
Everything is planned? Hehe. Lady Huogu's red lips opened lightly, revealing a news that Meng Hu didn't expect,
"Then Tailimen's request for help is also in your plan?"
Yes? How is this possible? I've blocked the border of Yukuni, how did you find out?! Meng Hu felt that he had done everything foolproof.
"This, this, this ....."
Seeing that Meng Hu was hesitant, Mrs. Huogu stopped beating him and sneered,
"Junior! Put away your little thoughts! I will take care of Tailimen, don't set yourself on fire! ”
After speaking, Mrs. Huogu threw the relics of Yu Jianzi and the others in front of Meng Hu and flew away on her own. Only the residual power of heat was left suppressed in Meng Hu's heart:
Obviously, Meng Hu's calculation failed, Yu Jianzi and they fled for help, he must have known about it, but this was originally within his plan, he and Tailimen have been old opponents for hundreds of years, and he knows Tailimen's heels clearly, if the previous head of Tailimen is still there, he will never make a stupid way to send people to ask for help.
But the old immortal was already dead, and Meng Hu had the confidence to control the entire Yu Kingdom.
It's just that I didn't expect Mrs. Fire Bone to be so smart, it seems that she has seen through my strategy, but it is not good to tear her face by taking what she needs.
I'm not at home yet! If I have stepped into the Yuan Infant Realm, where do I need to look at the face of this old lady, alas~ unlucky!
Xie Yuanqian and Tailimen's actions were also fast, after entrusting Li Qingdai, Xie Yuanqian arranged his own plan of action, with the assistance of Jin Dan Zhenren, and they arrived at the capital of Yuguo on the same day.
Returning to this capital city full of open guns and hidden arrows again, Xie Yuanqian no longer has the shock and yearning he had at the beginning, and time is running out!
The method of entering the city is also designed, and it is easy for them to enter the national capital openly, but in fact, the defense of the national capital is now very lax, as if it is deliberately trying to overcrowd the national capital, which is too abnormal.
According to the plan, Yingxue took most of the people to the royal hunting ground to camp on the same day, of course, they entered in small teams, otherwise it would be too ostentatious, after all, there must be people from the Yu family at the entrance of the hunting ground, or even people from Meng Huzong.
Xie Yuanqian hooked up with Han Mei and learned the information of the national capital from her:
First of all, the most important Princess Yutong, this person deserves to be called a heroine, a heroine among women, she thoroughly investigated the reason for the marriage as soon as she returned to the national capital, but someone in the Yu family was obviously secretly obstructing, and the forces of her side were basically isolated, and the information she got was very limited but critical.
There are traitors in the family who are helping Meng Huzong, and there must be a shady deal between them.
What kind of means Meng Huzong has, Princess Yutong knows very well, no matter what the bargaining chips of this transaction are, it will definitely be a trap, and the Yu family will definitely suffer.
It's all about the family!
This belief that has supported her on the immortal path for more than a hundred years once again ignited a glimmer of hope for her - Ancestor!
As long as you can meet the ancestor and explain the situation to him, you will definitely be able to get his support, and everything will be fine at that time.
Princess Yutong, who was in prison and had nothing to do, naively thought so, but the truth was completely beyond her expectations.
Because the family power of Princess Yutong's lineage basically has no right to speak in the Yu family, it is even more difficult for her to meet the ancestor as a marriage partner, so she can only use a faint trick - to force each other to death.
In view of the importance of Yu Tong to Meng Huzong, Yu Yuansheng, who was the head of the Yu family at the time, had to agree to her request and went to the ancestral land to invite Yu Jiadao, the ancestor of the Yu family.
Yujiadao people obviously have their own considerations.
The dying Yujia Daoist has already shown the image of the five decays of heaven and man, his hair is thin, his face is old, and his bones are as thin as firewood. Floating in the air seemed like a crumbling dead leaf, but his voice was still as majestic.
"Yu Tong! Don't mess around! ”
Princess Yutong was already desperate, and she used all her strength to send a warning to the old man who held up the entire sky of the Yu country, and also to the Yu family:
"Ancestor, the fact of marriage is strange! There are traitors in the family! ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, some people were shocked, and some people were suspicious, but the final decision had to be made by the ancestor of the Yu family.
Yujia Daoren was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally confided out an order to finalize the overall situation:
“...... It's all about the family! Obedient! ”
Old Ancestor's consideration was not something that Yu Tong could understand, but when the last glimmer of hope was also dashed, she finally bowed her head to fate.
"Yes! Yu Tong understood! ”
This small episode did not affect the overall situation of Meng Huzong, Princess Yutong lost more freedom because of this stupid move, but the clansmen of the Yu family who lost power regarded this warning as a lifesaver, and have been looking for clues about Meng Huzong and the traitors of the Yu family, but the result is obviously useless.
The only thing Princess Yutong is glad about is that she left her personal maid outside the Yu family, Hanmei is in the national capital, and Yingxue is in Tailimen, which is the last retreat she left for herself.
But in fact, this road was also stared at by Yu Yuansheng, after the accident of death forced by death, he was even more powerful to cut off the power of Yu Tong's lineage, Han Mei, who was once Yu Tong's personal maid, was also under his surveillance, and the person who monitored Han Mei was her father Han Li.
Hanmei tried to contact some people with lofty ideals to go to Taili City, but it was obvious that these people must have also ended up with no news.
She herself was confined to her home and couldn't move an inch.
Until Xie Yuanqian contacted her.
Xie Yuanqian deserves to be Xie Yuanqian, he was cautious and did not directly ask Yingxue to contact Hanmei, but went to visit Lou Fang with Yingxue's token, and then took out a small snack as a guide, and met Hanmei very smoothly, and then the two sides hit it off.
Princess Yutong and Xie Yuanqian must work together to expose Meng Huzong's conspiracy and complete the mission of saving the princess.
The second key piece of information is the arrangement of the marriage between Princess Yutong and Meng Xianglong, according to the marriage customs of Yuguo, the princess must marry according to the lottery, recruitment, personal welcome, sacrifice to the sky, Zhengyi, and take the six rites.
The first three Meng Huzong and the Yu family have been traded, and Xie Yuanqian's chances are in the last two.
Sacrifice to the sky, because Yu Tong's identity is the princess of the Yu country and the most outstanding clansman of the Yu family, so she must go to the ancestral land of the Yu family to worship the heavens according to the national rites when she gets married, and announce the way of heaven.
At this step, Xie Yuanqian definitely has no chance, he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the Yu family.
The focus is on Zhengyi and Chengyu.
Zhengyi is the most important part of the wedding, which is equivalent to the oath and banquet in the previous life.
Because it is the princess who marries and the demon sect marries, Zhengyi is designed as a super large flowing water seat, and anyone who buys qualifications can enter the seat, of course, it is an external seat, and celebrate together.
The princess and her horse drove from the palace to the city gate, and the princess's wedding car would distribute countless gifts to the people along the way, as a sign of grace and the whole country celebrated.
Xie Yuanqian had the opportunity to devise scenes such as stealing beams and changing pillars or snatching relatives, but these two schemes were too common and low-end, and he disdained them.
With this information, Xie Yuanqian conceived a more ingenious and ingenious plan.
The situation on Yingxue's side was not optimistic, and after they investigated, they found that there was a big problem in Ziwu Valley, and a large number of monks who had come to look for opportunities were missing here.
In this case, the monks on the side of the Taili Gate naturally began to attack.
"What's going on with your Yu family?! Didn't you set up an ambush in this valley and want to harm us?! ”
Xie Yuanqian had already explained this situation, and it was all explained as Meng Huzong's trouble.
has a gentleman to explain, of course Yingxue can deal with it freely,
"Everyone, don't be impatient! If my Yu family wants to harm you, why do you need to be in this hunting ground, as early as the city gate, the national capital array is not better than ambushing people here? Now this situation is not what my Yu family expected, wait for me to bring someone to investigate, and then give you an explanation. ”
The people of Taili Sect stopped the uproar after hearing her explain this, after all, Yingxue was right, she was going to do it early, and she was indeed unprepared to look at her, so they sent a representative to check the situation in the valley with them.
The Demon Sect spies in the Purple Black Valley were also a little ecstatic to see a bunch of people outside the valley, and today's performance is there!
Ying Xue and the three of them cautiously moved towards the valley, and the demon sect villains in the valley had already laid a trap.
Ziwu Valley is a typical secret canyon, the entrance is steep, the steep peaks reach into the sky, the canyon is long and narrow, and the two sides are hundreds of cliffs, which is difficult for non-monks to pass this natural risk.
Yingxue They crossed the valley pass without danger, and the situation in the valley gradually became clear, this is simply a natural cornucopia!
Everywhere there are rare and exotic grasses of the best vintage, exuding an alluring brilliance in the dim valley, quietly waiting for the destined people to pick,
The most amazing thing is the special purple black ore here, the pit even in the deepest part of the valley also emits a shining purple light, this ore is the best material for making talismans and arranging formations, and it is a valuable existence in the market.
Based on the purple light at the pit, this can be said to be a priceless treasure!
If the ordinary monks arrived here, they would have been eager to start picking, and even started to fight for the ore.
Even the other two Taili Men and the guards who followed in were a little red, and their breath became heavy.
But Yingxue is a member of the Yu family, and Ziwu Valley has been here a few times, not to mention that this place has been developed by the Yu family for four or five hundred years, even if the recent intelligence shows that many monks have disappeared here, they can also deduce that there must be something strange here.
Ying Xue snorted coldly and reminded:
"The two Jindan seniors don't want to lose an inch, we are not here for these things outside the body!"
was reminded by Yingxue like this, and the two Jindan real people who saw the treasure also regained their senses, and they also knew the truth that there must be demons when things go wrong.
Jindan Zhenren of Taili Gate asked:
"There are so many treasures here, so I don't see the people of your Yu family stationed here?"
Yingxue didn't answer his question, but ordered categorically:
"Rewind !!"
After saying that, she really took the lead in withdrawing without any nostalgia, although the Jin Dan real person of the defense army was reluctant to give up these treasures in front of him, but he still had a high military quality after adapting to Princess Yutong's military orders, and then retreated outside the valley.
The Jindan real person in Taili Gate hesitated, after all, he was only a second guest in Taili Gate, and his cultivation on weekdays was also inferior, there were so many ownerless treasures here, could he not be moved?
Yingxue and the two of them were about to retreat to the valley, but he was gradually occupied by greed.
Anyway, there are so many treasures here, I can't take much effort to take a little secretly, besides, I'm a real person in Jindan, be cautious, be careful, I'm not greedy, pick that bone-washing flower and leave, pick that bone-washing flower and leave.
After the heart is moved, it is naturally an action, and the person who is devoured by greed must have a predictable end.
He did pick the bone-washing flower as quickly as he thought, it was normal that there was no danger at all, and then, the branch of cold did not seem to be far from the flower, and the vermilion fruit was also quite close...... The purple black mine is just around the corner!
In the end, his life completely disappeared in the Purple Wu Valley, and the performance indicators of the Meng Hu Sect's spies today were finally completed.
