Chapter 11: Reunion
The sky was slightly bright, and when the sun shone into the pavilion, Xiao Qianye had already woken up.
He had an elaborate invitation in his hand, with a pattern peculiar to mirages - a giant crow.
So fast? He took the invitation letter incredibly and hurriedly went out to find Xiao Yibai's traces.
"Young Pavilion Master, the Admiral has sent someone to invite you again. The oncoming soldier hurriedly stopped him, afraid that he would disappear for a whole day like yesterday, "Why don't you go over and take a look, there must be something urgent looking for you, and you are here for the fourth time." ”
Only then did he suddenly remember the thrilling scene in the deep sea yesterday, Xiao Qianye had to slow down: "Let Zhengfan go to see the marshal on my behalf, and tell the navy that the end of the sky is seriously damaged, and the sea demon seal has begun to loosen, please report to the Star Sacrifice Palace immediately and ask for the support of the imperial capital." ”
"Sea Devil?" Xiao Bing obviously didn't understand what he was talking about, Xiao Qianye frowned, and the sword spirit in his hand trembled slightly.
It's the resonance of the Green Charm Sword!
"Go. He withdrew his men and went out to the sea, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure in the distance.
She changed into a rare aqua-red outfit and squatted in the seawater, one hand dipped in the water.
"Ah Xiao, why are you here?" He stepped forward, and the other party shook his hand and asked seriously, "The Qingmei Sword trembled all night last night, what did you encounter?"
"It's hard to put into words. He sighed, and Yun Xiao said unwillingly, "Is there something in the deep sea?" I have checked, this sea area is unusual, I am afraid that there is some secret hidden by invisible people, right?"
"Don't go near the sea, it's dangerous. Xiao Qianye pulled her back, "The deep sea is sealed with one of the three demons of Feiyuan, the 'Cang Shark', and the seal has been broken when I went to the sea to check last night. ”
"What then, will it be dangerous?"
"It's hard to say yet. Xiao Qianye shook his head, because the time is too long, although the legend of the cangyu is well known, there is still very little information about it itself, only that it is the overlord of the sea area, which can cause a monstrous tsunami!
If there is a tsunami in North Shore City, I am afraid that half of the feathers will be buried together!
"Hey......" He couldn't help but sigh, suddenly looked stunned, and said, "What about Tianche?
"Before dawn, my brother went out. Yun Xiao complained in a low voice, "Qianye, is there any festival in the city recently? Last night, after a whole night of banging gongs and drums, I secretly looked out of the window and found that the street was full of people, all kinds of things, and there were many people wearing masks, but it was mysterious. ”
Xiao Qianye nodded: "It's been an annual mirage recently, and there is also a Bailing Conference in the mountain, and there are indeed many people in the city these days." ”
"Mirage?" Yun Xiao pointed to the sea curiously, "The kind that appears on the sea?"
"Almost, the mirage is a rally, the main venue is on the back of a giant turtle, at this time of year the giant turtle will dock for three days, these three days are called the sea market, the tall building on the back of the giant turtle is the so-called mirage. ”
He clenched the invitation letter in his hand, and he was still puzzled in his heart - even if the eldest brother knew Sun Yan, the lord of the Mirror Pavilion, he wouldn't really get the invitation for him so quickly, right?
It's more like it was prepared a long time ago, but it is not known for whom.
Thinking of the two fugitives who were still in the mirage, Xiao Qianye rubbed his head.
"What's wrong, I have a headache?" Yun Xiao touched his forehead and frowned, "Why is it so cold......?"
"It's your hands that are too hot. Xiao Qianye took her hand away, held it in her palm, and frowned, "Why is it so hot? Did you catch a cold last night?"
"I've never caught a cold!" Yun Xiao quickly withdrew her hand, her cheeks already flushed slightly.
Xiao Qianye was speechless, indeed, he had been practicing in Kunlun Mountain for ten years, and this junior sister had really never been infected with a cold.
She looked weak, but her body was much better than most of her disciples.
And the only abnormality is that the body temperature is higher than normal, and if you practice the sword a little, your whole body will be hot.
If you have the opportunity to take her back to the imperial capital, you can ask the doctor of Danzhen Palace to show her what is wrong.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qianye asked, "Where do you live now?" I'll send you back first, there is still a task today." ”
Yun Xiao hurriedly waved her hand and excused herself: "It's good for me to go back by myself, I was just worried about you so I came over to take a look, knowing that you are busy, I will not delay your task." ”
She ran away from the smoke before waving at him from afar.
"Ah Xiao!" Xiao Qianye chased after him, "Don't worry, tell me where you live, I'll let Ye Zhuofan go over and guard." ”
"Is Zhuo Fan really there?" Yun Xiao stopped, "No wonder I always hear the blue bird in the city mention him, he is really the general of the military pavilion......"
The military pavilion is divided into ten legions, domesticated ten kinds of spirit beasts, and named after it, Ye Zhuofan is the son of Mrs. Ming Qi, and is also the current military cabinet, the general of the Blue Bird Legion, and Yun Xiao have known each other since childhood.
Xiao Qianye frowned again and again, Yun Xiao could understand the bird language, he knew it, but he never expected that she could even understand the blue bird on the flying wall!
Sure enough, she has wings and can fly, can she understand?
The feathers on her body......
Xiao Qianye glanced at Yun Xiao, she didn't look like there was anything abnormal, why did she have feathers on her body?
Yun Xiao clapped her hands, looking very happy: "I live in Xiaoqin Building with my senior brother, you will talk to Zhuo Fan in a while, I will go back and wait for him first, you are so busy, don't worry about us." ”
"Xiao Qinlou?" Hearing these three words, Xiao Qianye almost jumped up and reproached: "There are so many inns in the city, you ...... Why did you go to Xiao Qinlou?"
"There are many inns, but there are more people in the city!" Yun Xiao pouted, completely unable to understand why he suddenly seemed a little angry, and explained in a low voice, "When we went back last night, only Xiao Qinlou had two rooms left, I saw that the building was beautifully decorated and thought it would be very expensive......!
"Almost?" Xiao Qianye suddenly became vigilant, with the scale of Xiao Qinlou, no matter how you think about it, it won't be cheap, right?
He thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong - North Shore City was the largest harbor city in Yudu, because of the developed trade, and there were many inns, even if he encountered the Bailing Conference and the mirage, it would not be fully booked, right?
And...... Even if it was really full, how could the most luxurious and extravagant Xiao Qin Building have exactly two rooms left?
"I'd better send you back. He was uneasy, and he didn't dare to let her notice, so he had to smile lightly, "It just so happens that I have something to do with Tianche, maybe he will come back in the past." ”
Yun Xiao blinked, pointed to his clothes and reminded: "Are you wearing the uniform of the military pavilion to see me off?" I remember that the god keeper in the mountain said that your clothes are too much, too much, too eye-catching, eye-catching!"
Indeed, in his capacity, if he sends a woman back to the inn, he is afraid that this matter will not spread all over the Feiyuan before tomorrow.
She is here with Tian Che, and she must not reveal her identity right now, otherwise she will be in danger if she attracts the attention of the imperial capital!
But Xiao Qinlou was strange, and he really didn't worry about Yun Xiao going back alone.
"You don't only have this kind of uniform, do you?" Seeing his embarrassment, Yun Xiao leaned over and said, "That's it, if you're not in a hurry, wait for me here first, and I'll go back and buy you civilian clothes." ”
"It's okay......" Xiao Qianye thought about it, he still had to find a way to sneak into the mirage tonight to find someone, and he really needed an inconspicuous civilian dress to hide his identity.
"Then you wait for me, I'll be back soon. ”
"Ah Xiao......" Xiao Qianye nervously grabbed her, and told her again, "You must be careful, always see if anyone is following, and ......"
"So nervous?" Yun Xiao's tone sank, and Qingli's face suddenly became serious, "You have something to hide from me?"
Xiao Qianye closed his eyes, and after a long time, he finally nodded lightly: "You have been targeted, the letter received by Mrs. Qiushui was simply sent by the Wind Demon, the purpose is to deceive you to Feiyuan, and the two-headed goldfinch bird was also deliberately arranged, and even - even Xiao Qinlou is in the other party's plan!"
He anxiously grabbed Yun Xiao's hand, for fear that she wouldn't understand, and continued to explain: "The purpose of the Wind Demon is the Lingyin Clan, Tian Che will definitely be in danger, you are with Tian Che, I really don't feel at ease." ”
Yun Xiao secretly clasped her hands, originally she only thought that Tian Che was here to find her long-lost brother, but now it seems that things are far more complicated than she thought!
Wind Demon ...... She recalled this somewhat unfamiliar term in her mind, and she had indeed heard Mrs. Ming Qi mention it, and she was the most wanted criminal on the flying wall!
Brother...... Tian Che was in a hurry to go out before dawn, so would he be in danger now?
She glanced at Xiao Qianye anxiously, the other party was also looking at her seriously, and he lowered his voice: "You go and get me civilian clothes first, as long as Tianche is in the city, the sword spirit can find him, and also, you can remember to buy a few of the masks worn by the people in the city, it will be useful." ”
"Hmm. She nodded, "You wait for me...... Be careful yourself. ”
"I'm fine. Xiao Qianye pointed to the Tianzheng Bird not far away, "I'll go on patrol first, I will be able to catch up with you soon, I will follow you in the sky, and you will come to me after seeing the location of the Tianzheng Bird." ”
"Hmm. Yun Xiao waved at him and got up to return.
When her figure disappeared completely, Xiao Qianye's face sank, and she strode back to the military pavilion, Ye Zhuofan had already taken today's new document and was waiting for him in the courtyard early.
Ye Zhuofan was also wearing the uniform of the military cabinet, but he pinned a blue bird badge on his chest, and said: "Zhengfan has already gone to the navy to report the situation at the end of the world according to your wishes." ”
Xiao Qianye roughly flipped through the contents of his hand, which were all reproaches and urging words from the imperial capital, he covered it impatiently, and began to arrange the task: "Zhuo Fan, you take three blue birds to watch near Xiaoqin Tower, you go and stare at it yourself, and see who there are in the building." ”
"Yes. ”
"And-" his tone was extremely serious, "The mirage lasts for three days, tonight is the first night, I'm going to arrest people in the mirage, those who can't get into the mirage and wander around outside, you and Zhengfan must keep an eye on it!"
"Are you going to the mirage?" Ye Zhuofan said in surprise, "Young Pavilion Master, I don't know who there will be in the mirage, I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to go in alone......"
"Two fugitives are inside. Xiao Qianye said, "Since I am the pavilion master of the military pavilion, I must go if I know the whereabouts of the fugitives, but it is not safe outside the city, Ye Zhuofan, as far as I know, the people of the wind demon have come to the North Shore City, and now their whereabouts are unknown, and the seal of the Cangyu in the depths of the Biluo Sea has been broken again, I am afraid that in addition to those two fugitives, we have more difficult enemies to deal with." ”
Ye Zhuofan opened his mouth, and he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a while.
Xiao Qianye was logical and not flustered at all: "Tianche and Ah Xiao are also in the city now, and they are also here to find two fugitives, when necessary...... Hold them back. ”
“......”
"Understood?" he said, reconfirming.
"The subordinates understand. Ye Zhuofan hurriedly received the order, not daring to hesitate at all.
The young pavilion master is known for his vigorous and resolute behavior, he has taken over the military pavilion since he returned to Feiyuan eight years ago, and the children of the major nobles have been swept out of the cabinet, and under pressure from all sides, Xiao Qianye has no room for compromise at all.
He carried out a series of reforms in the military cabinet, not only for senior officers, but also for soldiers in major branches.
For this reason, he offended the high-level of the imperial capital, and in the past eight years, the imperial capital has continuously increased the power of the forbidden army, the purpose is to suppress him.
And today, he once again deeply felt this kind of recklessness - the young pavilion master is to hunt down the two fugitives as his top priority, even if the matter involves the same senior brother, he will definitely not show mercy!
"And ......" Xiao Qianye, who was already about to get up, suddenly stopped, turned around and commanded, "If the blue bird sees Xiao Yibai, let him come to me." ”
"The subordinates understand. ”
"Be careful. ”
"Yes!"
