CHAPTER XLVI
Qin Biao saw her distracted and said, "Do you also suspect the reason why this Penglai Island Lord suddenly fell ill?"
Yaojuan nodded and said, "When he came to Shanshan before, he was refreshed and didn't look like he was sick, but when he returned to Penglai, he contracted this incurable disease, which is really a bit strange." ”
Qin Bi's expression was solemn, and he was uneasy in his heart, but he was afraid that Yao Yuan would be worried, so he had to say: "This pool of water on Penglai Island is not shallow, early tomorrow morning, we will leave this place of right and wrong first according to the plan, and other things, when we find the immortal medicine, come back and cure the illness of the island lord of Yuchen." ”
Yaowan nodded, and said with some remorse: "This time I was a little reckless, I should find a way to find out the situation in Penglai before I come." ”
Qin Pyo smiled: "Thanks to the fact that you can still think of these things now, in the past tens of thousands of years, I haven't found that you still have such a side." ”
Yaohuan said, "Do you still have the heart to joke?"
Qin Bi said: "Before leaving tomorrow morning, ask about the people in black last night and see how they answer." ”
Yaojuan asked, "Why?"
Qin Bi touched his eyebrows a little narcissistically, and said, "Because common sense is like this, if you pretend that nothing has happened, it will make people suspicious." ”
After thinking about it carefully, what Qin Bi said just now seemed to have some truth, so she nodded and replied, "Okay, I remember." ”
Qin Bi got up and said, "It's the second half of the night, there shouldn't be anything going on, you can rest, I'll go back first." ”
Yaowan nodded, got up and sent Qin Biao out.
Only then did she close the doors and windows, Yaojuan felt like she had stepped on something, she bent down to pick up a heavy piece of iron, took it to the oil lamp and took a look, it turned out to be a tiger head token, the edges on both sides are engraved with some auspicious clouds and dragon patterns, and in the middle is a Chinese character.
芔 (pronounced huì) Yu Qian The fifth son of Penglai Island Lord Yu Qian turned out to be him?
Yaohuan clenched the token in her hand and walked to the couch to lie down, using a spell to extinguish all the oil lamps in the room, and her mood became heavy, she didn't know whether she was right or wrong to come to this place, but it was true that she had been involved in this invisible expedition on Penglai Island, and Qin Bi was also involved in this whirlpool because of her, the important thing is that this matter was not what they expected, and the situation would get out of control at any time, seemingly simple things, so tricky, this is completely different from what Yaojiao thought before she came.
After thinking about it, Yaojuan didn't come up with any way to use it, so she had to go to the couch to rest.
The next day, Yaojiao got up from the couch with sleepy eyes, hurriedly packed her bags, and ran to knock on Qin Bi's door, Qin Bi got up very early today, and when Yaohuan went to look for him, he was already waiting for her in the room.
When Qin Bi saw Yaojuan, he looked at her and said, "Why are you so unpunctual? ”
Yaojuan was so choked by him that she couldn't speak, so she had to smile and say, "Am I late?" But you didn't say anything about the time to leave yesterday, I'm still sleeping at this time on weekdays, so it's good to get up." ”
Qin Bi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you have a reason to say anything, I can't say you, we should go." ”
The two of them went out of the room, and a plain-clothed waiter came out of the door, and Yao remembered that he had been standing behind the island owner's wife yesterday.
The attendant came up to them and saluted, "Both, Madame, please." ”
The two followed him to the main hall, which was full of people, but the one named Yu Qian in Yao's impression did not appear.
When Yaowan arrived at the main hall, everyone stood up and saluted, and the lady came forward and said, "How did you two rest yesterday?"
Yaojuan showed a wry smile and said, "Madame didn't forget what happened yesterday, right?"
The lady's face changed slightly, and she said, "It was our poor care that frightened the princess." ”
Yaojuan said: "Then does that man in black have a confession, who sent him?"
The lady had a difficult look on her face, and said slowly: "The man in black didn't say anything, so he committed suicide in fear of sin." ”
Hearing this, Yao Liang exchanged glances with Qin Bi, Qin Bi nodded slightly at Yao Bi, stepped forward and said: "Okay, this incident happened on your Penglai Island, although Yao Liang and I are here to help save the island master, but the assassin matter should be decided by Madame, but you all know that my junior sister is not an ordinary immortal, she is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, so the matter of this assassin still has to be explained to the Emperor of Heaven." ”
Madame nodded hurriedly and said, "What the Divine Monarch said is right, we will find out this matter within a month and give an explanation to the two of you." ”
Qin Biao smiled: "Since that's the case, it couldn't be better." I see that the time to find medicine is approaching, so let's go. ”
Madame hurriedly turned around and said, "Go and find Yu Qian." ”
A man in a lake blue shirt in the hall hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll go." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Madame's eyes, but she quickly nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ”
Not long after the man left, he returned with Yu Qian.
Yu Qian was much thinner than the last time he saw him, and he didn't look energetic, but when he saw Yaowan and Qin Bi, he was a little surprised.
Yaowan smiled at him, turned around and said, "Since everyone is here, let's go." ”
Yu Qian and his entourage left Penglai and went to the extreme north that Qin Bi said.
As soon as she left Penglai, Yaojuan walked up to Yu Qian's side and asked, "How are you?"
Yu Qian shook his head and said, "I'm fine, thank you for coming to relieve me." ”
Yaowan glanced at Qin Pyo who was walking in front, and smiled at Yu Qian: "I didn't do anything, if you want to thank you, Xie Qin Pyo is fine." ”
Hearing this, Qin Biao turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "If you two want to talk, it's better to find a safe place." ”
Yu Qian had never seen Qin Pyo, so he held the number of salutes and said: "Thank you for the grace of the Divine Monarch for saving his life, if he is useful to Yu Qian's place in the future, Yu Qian is willing to serve the Divine Monarch." ”
Qin Bi said: "Son, polite, the doctor is benevolent, I was entrusted by Yao Yuan to save you, if you want to repay her, go and repay her." ”
Yaojuan said silently in her heart: "Can this Qin Biao speak, Fang Cai himself said something like that, people came to you to thank you, you accepted it, why make it so embarrassing?"
Yao Yao hurriedly said: "It's nothing, what he means is that he likes to be nosy the most on weekdays, you don't have to talk about this matter to heart." ”
Qin Biao didn't speak again, turned around and continued to walk forward.
Yu Qian glanced at Qin Bi's face and said, "I see that this friend of yours seems to dislike me a little. ”
Yao Wan smiled: "It's not normal for him to dislike you, he likes goddesses." ”
Yu Qian nodded with a smile and said, "What you said is true." ”
Yaowan thought for a while and said, "Can you tell me what is going on with the island owner's illness?"
Yu Qian's face sank, and a sad look suddenly came up, he bowed his head slightly and said, "This matter is a long story. ”
Yaohuan asked, "After you returned to Penglai Island, what happened on the island?"
Yu Qian said gloomily: "This matter has to start with our return to Penglai." ”
Yaowan leaned on the mountain rock, quietly looking at Yu Qian, who looked sad.
Yu Qian said: "This matter is because of me, after we left the mountain that day, we went back to Penglai Island, my father called my brothers to the study that night, I don't know what to talk about, at first everything was normal, but soon after, I heard the sound of quarrel in the study, I felt that something was wrong, so I wanted to go to the study to see, but when I walked to the study, my father was already unconscious, and my wife and all the brothers were outside the study, waiting for the doctor to diagnose my father. ”
Yaojuan interrupted Yu Qian and asked, "So, you don't know, why did your father suddenly faint in the study?"
Yu Qian nodded.
Yaohuan asked a little puzzled, "Then did you notice anything wrong?"
Yu Qian shook his head first, and said with some excitement: "It seems that there is, I see that the fifth brother's face is a little strange." ”
Yaojuan asked, "What's a strange method?"
Yu Qian said: "He has been calm and silent, but there is anger in his eyes, when the doctor came out, he did not go forward to ask about his father's condition, after hearing the news that his father was seriously ill, he left. ”
Yaojuan groaned: "Isn't your fifth brother Yu Qian, could it be that he has a direct relationship with the island owner's illness, so he came to my guest room to assassinate me after hearing about the search for medicine?"
Qin Biao on the side nodded slightly, according to what Yu Qian said, if the Penglai Island Lord suddenly fell ill and it was related to Yu Qian, then the reason for Yu Qian's assassination would be easy to understand.
But this matter is still tricky, if you want to know what happened that day, there is only one way: to wake up Yu Chen.
On the first day after leaving Penglai, Yu Qian didn't say a word except to tell them exactly about this matter.
Seeing that she had arrived at Youdu, Yaojuan felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask: "We are going to Youdu, although Youdu is the territory of the divine realm, but we have no edict to step into it privately, I'm afraid it will ......"
Qin Biao said: "There is no way, if you want to find this immortal elixir, you can only come here." ”
Yaojuan asked again: "You have to go through the secluded capital, so where is the extreme north land you are talking about?"
Qin Biao paused, raised his head and replied, "The Far North is the Hidden Capital. ”
Yaohuan was surprised: "What did you say?
Qin Bi nodded lightly and said, "It's Youdu, the medicine that can cure Yu Chen, is only born in Youdu." ”
Yaowan couldn't speak, just looked at Qin Biao blankly.
Qin Biao explained: "The name of that flavor medicine is called Youqi Grass. ”
Yaowan looked at Qin Biao with strange eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she still held back.
Yu Qian obviously sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What is the Youqi Grass?"
Yaowan looked at Qin Bi, turned sideways slightly, and said, "It's a poisonous weed." ”
Yu Qian's face changed, and he stepped forward and asked, "Qin Dippy Divine Monarch, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Biao glanced at him from the corner of his eye, raised his eyelids slightly, and said, "It's not interesting, it's just a medicinal herb, Gongzi doesn't need to be so excited." ”
Yu Qian turned to Yaojuan and said, "Yaojuan, bring me out this time, I owe you again, if I have the life to come back, I will repay you again." ”
In a hurry, Yao Wan grabbed Yu Qian's sleeve and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yu Qian said: "Go back to Penglai." ”
Yao Wan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although the grass is highly poisonous, it can still cure the disease." ”
Yu Qian's body froze, turned around and asked, "What does this mean?"
Yaohuan patiently explained: "Even if it is a poison, as long as the amount is controlled well, and some other auxiliary herbs are added, it can be a good medicine." ”
Yu Qian kept staring at Yao Liang as if he didn't understand, and Qin Biao on the side said: "If the prince doesn't want to cure Ling Zun's illness, just go." ”
Qin Bi only took a few steps forward, and then heard Yu Qian say: "Yu Qian was rude, he collided with the Divine Monarch, and please don't blame the Divine Monarch." ”
Qin Bi glanced at Yaohuan intentionally or unintentionally, and then said lightly: "Childe doesn't have to be polite, since I have already promised others, I will naturally finish what I promised others." ”
Yaohuan breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Yu Qian's side and said, "Although Qin Biao usually doesn't like to talk, he is very good to people. ”
Yu Qian's face was a little scornful, and he said, "It was I who was reckless and misunderstood him." ”
Yaohuan smiled and said, "You don't have to be angry, he won't mind." ”
Yu Qian was a little relieved at this time, he looked up at Qin Bi, who had always walked in front of them, and said, "You are also a disciple of the Medicine Immortal, do you know what kind of illness my father has?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Yao's face disappeared instantly, and she said vaguely: "This, I don't know, when Qin Bi was diagnosing the disease, my wife and I stood outside and didn't go in." ”
Yu Qian was a little skeptical, looked at Yaojuan for a moment, and finally looked away: "No matter what, I still want to thank you." ”
Yaojuan said: "This matter is actually secretly instructed by my father, if it were just because of me, Qin Bi would not have done his best." ”
Yu Qian said: "Whether it is for the old friendship of the Golden Crow clan or for some other reason, I have to thank you. ”
Yaowan nodded lightly and stopped talking.
The three of them walked unhurriedly, and after two days and nights, the secluded capital finally arrived.
Yaohuan stood in front of the surging River Styx, looking at the walls of the secluded capital on the other bank, a little dazed.
Qin Biao said: "After there, it will be the secluded capital." He turned around and looked at Yao Liang and Yu Qian, sighed softly and said, "Although this is the territory of the Divine Realm, it is completely different from the Divine Realm, if you don't want to go in, just wait for me here." ”
Yaohuan stepped forward and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you in." ”
Yu Qian didn't say anything, but after Yaojuan finished saying that, he took a few steps forward and followed closely behind Yaojuan.
Qin Bi looked at the two of them in some surprise for a moment, then turned around and walked forward.
They had barely crossed the River Styx when someone stopped them and said, "What are you doing here?"
The one who spoke was a man in military uniform, who should be no more than 30,000 years old, and when he spoke, although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of vigilance.
The man looked at them a few times, and his eyes finally fell on Yao's body.
Yaowan noticed that the man had been staring at her, and said, "What's wrong?"
The man smiled and said busily: "The girl is a heavenly girl?"
After Yaojuan looked at Qin Bi, she nodded, she stepped forward and said to the man: "I am, I have some things, I want to see your King of Youdu, please make it convenient for Your Excellency." ”
The man saluted and said, "Girl, please wait, and the little one will go in and report it." ”
Yaowan nodded slightly, and the man hurried into the city.
Qin Biao smiled and said, "It's still your identity as a celestial maiden, people don't even ask who we are and go in to report it." ”
Yao Wan smiled: "I'm really ashamed to steal the limelight from my senior brother." ”
Qin Biao said: "Your ability to speak cool words is still the same as before. ”
Yaohuan said: "I can't imagine that such a small city defender can even see the aura on my body. ”
While they were talking, the man returned, bent slightly, and said, "Gentlemen, the king, please follow me to the priest's hall." ”
Several people hurriedly followed the man and walked in.
After a while, at the corner of a long corridor, a richly dressed woman came to her, and when the man saw her, he hurriedly saluted: "Princess." ”
She is the princess of Youdu? Yaowan looked at her in surprise, feeling that the princess in front of her was a little strange.
The princess seemed to have noticed that Yaojuan was looking at her, and her eyes swept towards Yaojuan very sharply.
Yaojuan hurriedly lowered her head, but when the princess walked in front of Yaojuan, she stopped.
Yaojuan lowered her head until she saw a pair of beautiful silk shoes in front of her, and then raised her head.
The princess was staring at him and her with a pair of starry eyes, her eyes were a little complicated, she couldn't see malice, and she definitely didn't have any good feelings.
She finally spoke, but instead of talking to Yaohuan: "Who told you to bring her in?"
Yaohuan heard a hint of disgust in her tone, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at her warily.
The man who led the way was a little nervous and said, "Princess, this girl is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, and she has come to the king to discuss important matters. ”
When the princess heard this, she looked at Yaohuan with some surprise and said, "You said that she is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, when did the Emperor of Heaven have a daughter of the Golden Crow clan?"
Yaojuan was about to speak, and Qin Bi behind her said, "If the princess has nothing important, please let us go." ”
The princess glared at Qin Biao and said, "What is this?"
The man exclaimed: "The princess said carefully, they are all guests invited by the king, and the king is still waiting in the priest's hall, and the younger one took them over." ”
The princess glared at everyone stupidly, but did not speak again.
When Yaowan was about to walk forward, she suddenly tripped over something under her feet and almost fell, but fortunately, Yu Qian's eyes were quick and he reached out to help her up.
Yaowan caught a glimpse of the princess's quickly retracted foot, stopped her steps and sneered: "I heard that the demon clan is outstanding, and the princess really didn't disgrace your clan." ”
The princess said angrily: "Okay, you are a bold woman, you are here to mock this palace, don't think that if you are a person from the god realm, I will take you without it, this is the ...... of the hidden capital."
Before the words fell, a rather majestic voice came from behind him: "What are you doing, noisy?"
Yao Yao hurriedly turned around, only to see a middle-aged man in a costume staring at him with a surprised face.
Yaohuan saw that he was about the same age as her father, and thought that he was the king of Youdu chasing the wind.
Yao Jiao Ji saluted and said, "I have seen the king of Youdu." ”
The King of Youdu walked over a few steps, stood in front of Yaojuan, stared at her for a long time, and then whispered, "Qingheng?"
Yao Wan was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that the king of the hidden capital in front of her regarded her as an aunt.
She hurriedly smiled, took a step back and said, "I'm afraid that the King of Youdu has recognized the wrong person, right?"
The King of Youdu muttered, "Like, too similar." ”
Yaojuan said: "The king of Youdu and my aunt are old acquaintances, and it is normal to admit mistakes. ”
After listening to Yao's words, the king of Youdu said, "If you have anything to do with me, go to the priest's hall and tell me." With that, he turned to glance at the princess and said in a warning tone, "You go back to your own bedchamber, I still have important business to deal with." ”
The princess's face was full of unwillingness, but she couldn't disobey the will of the king of Youdu, so she said: "The concubine will retire." ”
After the princess left, the king of Youdu said, "Everyone, please." ”
After looking back at the princess carefully, she turned around and followed behind a few people.
It's not that she hasn't heard the name of this King of Youdu, but today is indeed the first time to see him, and I feel that he is not the same as in the legend, although he doesn't look very easy to get along with, but he is not as angry as the rumor, but everyone says that there is a lady in his harem, and it should be a deep love between husband and wife, but she can also see that the relationship between the king of Youdu and the princess does not seem to be good, and even the eyes of the king of Youdu look at this lady, full of impatience, and look a little weird.
Entering the priest's hall, Yaojuan's eyes were attracted by several three trees in the hall, she walked to the three trees, and was about to touch her leaves, when Qin Bi said to stop her: "Yaojia, come here." ”
Yaojuan raised her head suddenly, walked over, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the King of Youdu, what kind of tree is this?"
The King of Youdu looked at the three trees, his eyes were a little uncertain, and he said, "Please take a seat." ”
Everyone sat on the chairs in the hall according to the words, and the king of Youdu said: "This is called three trees, tens of thousands of years ago, it grew in the god realm Chishui, but after the Chishui clan fell, the entire Chishui life was almost extinct, and only a few of these three trees were left in my priest's hall." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yaojuan and said softly: "I just heard your name Yaojuan, are you Qingjue's child?"
Yaowan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The King of Youdu sighed lightly, looked at Qin Biao and said, "Your father and I are old acquaintances, seeing your appearance, I suddenly remembered me at the beginning, time is always unforgiving, is your father okay?"
Qin Biao was a little surprised, sat up straight and asked, "Does the King of Youdu know his father?"
The King of Youdu smiled: "Naturally, I am in the underworld...... When I was younger, I spent some time on the mountain. ”
Qin Bi said: "So that's the case, my father is very good, thank you King Youdu for your concern." ”
The King of Youdu nodded lightly, glanced at Yu Qian, who was sitting next to Qin Bi, for a moment, and then frowned slightly, and said, "This prince looks a little angry. ”
Yu Qian stood up and saluted: "I have seen the king of Youdu, and the little god is Yu Qian, the youngest son of the lord of Penglai Island. ”
