Chapter 55: Sea Holly

An official road in the north of the imperial capital is very wide, and the trees on both sides stand tall to block the invasion of wind and sand.

At this moment, a group of dragon wildebeest horses hurried through, and a long saloon was raised behind it.

The soldiers on the horse were all fully armed, with black skin and strong flesh, and resolute eyes, obviously all of them were battle-hardened people.

The soldiers were surrounded by a man, but he was lavishly dressed and chubby, with a short beard and eyes that could be narrowed into a line.

After a gallop, the horse team came to a stop in front of a luxurious palace in the western part of the imperial capital, and the man entered quickly under the escort of all the soldiers.

A golden-robed man was sitting alone in the palace, his expression was a little depressed, "I didn't expect that the treasure of the ancient tomb was actually an oolong from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, which was purely groundless, causing me to lose so many people and horses!

"Report! The Fifth Highness has arrived!"

"Oh?!please!"

The golden-robed man was none other than Long Kui, the Great Highness of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and when he heard the fifth brother's visit, he immediately greeted him.

The white fat man is Long Wen, the Fifth Highness, and he personally led the guards to the Longkui Palace today, which is naturally extraordinary.

"Big brother, I want to mess with my little brother!"

"Haha! What kind of wind blew the fifth brother over today?!"

"Can't you come to see Big Brother if you're fine?"

"Hey, we have a deep brotherly relationship, how can we be like this? Come, sit, let's have a good talk. ”

Long Kui hurriedly beckoned Long Wen to sit down and instructed the slave to watch the tea.

Long Wen drank tea and chatted a few words, but his expression was a little abnormal, all of which fell in Long Kui's eyes.

"Fifth brother, I see that you look in a hurry, it doesn't look like you really came to the eldest brother to drink tea and chat, right?"

"It's... Okay, big brother, I won't beat around the bush, I don't know if you know anything about the national teacher?"

According to my master Gu Liquan, the national teacher showed his might on the battlefield of Beikunshan not long ago, rescuing many warriors who were besieged by demon bees. Gu Liquan and Le Jie were also rescued by the national teacher, so they were able to escape! I was thinking about how to thank him when the national teacher brought his third brother back. Long Kui said.

After listening to this, Long Wen showed a mysterious smile on his face, "Big brother, you don't know, the national teacher... It's gone!"

"What?!Fall?!This... Impossible!" Long Kui stood up in surprise when he heard this, and said categorically.

"When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it. However, it was a very reliable person who gave the news. Long Wen said.

"Oh, who's from who?"

"The younger brother has a subordinate who was originally an immortal attendant of the Qingyuan Gate, and during that period, she had a very good relationship with an immortal master in the Qingyuan Gate. Not long ago, that immortal master came to the imperial capital and revealed the news when he was happy with her. It is said that the place of death of the national teacher was on the battlefield of Beikunshan, and this news was transmitted back to the sect after the uncle of Sanssouci of Qingyuanmen Sanssouci Peak personally surveyed the scene. ”

"That's right! It seems likely. ”

"Big brother, it's not possible, it's 100 percent. Because, the soul lamp of the national teacher has been extinguished in the Qingyuan Gate. ”

"What?!The soul lamp has been extinguished?!" Long Kui's mouth opened into a large circle.

In the Qingyuan Gate, every monk who has reached the foundation building period or above will leave a soul lamp inside the sect, which will be automatically extinguished if he dies outside.

Long Kui knew this very well, and when he heard Long Wen's words, he could finally be sure that the national teacher had indeed fallen.

Long Wen nodded and said with a smile: "Without a national teacher, we can cultivate that with confidence in the future." ”

Long Kui nodded with a smile.

"I don't know what the fifth brother's intention is to tell the eldest brother this news?"

"Big brother, didn't you say that you were waiting for the national teacher to take the third brother back to the imperial capital?" Long Wen said lightly.

"It's... Now that the national teacher has fallen, I naturally won't waste my thoughts anymore. There's a lot of work to do. ”

"Hey, big brother, think about it, now that the national teacher is gone, the third brother will naturally return to the imperial capital alone..."

"You meanβ€”" Long Kui's eyes lit up.

Long Wen raised his right hand and made a downward slashing gesture fiercely!

"This..."Long Kui's face changed violently.

"The amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, the third brother has always been against us, and he is also the most favored in front of his father. Leaving his lair this time, he just returned from Beikun Mountain, and there are not many people around, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Long Wen said coldly.

"It's... Hmph, that makes sense! If such an opportunity is missed, even God will punish us. Fifth brother, do you know his whereabouts now?"

"I'm afraid my eldest brother knows this better than me. ”

"Hmm... You're right, I received a report from my subordinate Pingnanhou, they have already set off from Tingchao City to return to the imperial capital, and according to their travel speed, they can arrive in half a month. ”

"Okay! When the time comes, we will choose an ambush location outside the imperial capital, and the two armies will surround him, so that he will not be able to fly!"

"Good!" Long Kui roared viciously.

......

His Royal Highness and his entourage galloped across the field, like a long dragon.

It coincides with the opening of ice and snow, the early spring is coming, the grass is green on the field, the morning dew is clustered, and the horses are flying like the wind in the clouds.

It was the first time for Li Yun to go far away, and he was extremely interested in everything around him, and he was in a very happy mood.

"Father, what kind of bird is flying in the sky?" Li Yun asked loudly as he pointed to a bird hovering and flying in the sky.

"That's... Sea holly! It's a kind of Xuanying!" Li Wei looked at it.

"What a handsome bird, if only there was one!"

"Yun'er, this kind of sea holly can be domesticated, and the army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire has domesticated a large number of sea holly, which can be used as an observation and guide. If you like it, it won't be a problem to ask for one with the Three Highnesses when you go to the imperial capital. Li Wei smiled.

"What?!for observation and guidance?!" Li Yun said in amazement.

"Yes, they are the ones that the army relies on to find the enemy. Once they spot the enemy's tracks, they will make a variety of different flight attitudes, and the army can judge the enemy's traces accordingly. ”

"Father, this sea holly above has been with our team for three days..."

"Three days?!Are you sure?!"

"Sure, I found it three days ago. It's been hovering over us. ”

"It's... Is there anyone who wants to be against us?" Li Wei pondered.

"Not bad! Moreover, I'm afraid he is still a member of the Imperial Capital Army. Li Yun judged.

"It's not good! The people who can mobilize the sea holly in the imperial capital army must be high-ranking generals in the army, if they want to attack us, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid the target is not us, but the Third Highness!" Li Yun said.

"That makes sense! We'll rush to the front team right away. ”

"Good!"

......

In a place full of wild flowers in the wilderness, the team of the Three Highnesses was stationed here, and set up a circular defensive formation in case of accidents.

The Third Highness stared at the small black dot in the sky, and the sea holly who was constantly circling, his face was a little iron-blue.

"Your Highness, yes, this sea holly is domesticated in the army. Ye Guang watched intently for a moment and said affirmatively.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Gongzi Li to find out..."

"The consequences are really unimaginable," Zhou Hai sighed.

Long Hao ordered his subordinates to take out a map and watch it carefully with everyone.

"There are still three days to go to the imperial capital, where will they make trouble?" Long Hao groaned.

"Your Highness, if I were to plan this attack, I would have chosen to be in Dragonclaw Mountain. Zhou Hai looked at the map and said.

"Why is that?"

"This is the choke point to enter the imperial capital, with towering cliffs on both sides, a large number of mountains and rocks to hide, and only a fish-intestine path in the middle passes, which is a golden place for ambushes. Zhou Hai explained.

"Not bad..."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"It's about a two-day trip from Longclaw Mountain, and we don't have much time left. "Zhou Haidao.

Ye Guang on the side groaned: "Your Highness, the problem is that since the other party dares to mobilize military strength to deal with us, it can be seen that it is determined to kill. In contrast, our strength is too weak, and we have a large number of children, even if the other party does not ambush, we can easily be annihilated!"

"Yes, if we stay here and don't enter the ambush circle of the other party, I am afraid that the other party will lead the army to kill the generals in two days, and we will face great danger. Zhou Hai agreed.

"So, will Ji be released?" asked Long Hao.

The crowd was silent.

Ye Guang and Zhou Hai also shook their heads slightly, this situation is already very urgent, one wrong step may be a catastrophe.

Long Hao's face was a little disappointed, he looked around at everyone, his eyes suddenly fell on Li Yun, and his mind turned darkly, "With Li Yun's magical performance in the battle of Listening to Chaocheng, maybe..."

"Gongzi Li, I don't know what you think about this?" asked Long Hao.

Li Yun had been listening just now, and he already had some understanding of the situation in front of him. The reason why I am not in a hurry to express my position is naturally because people are small, not to mention that there are two congenital powerhouses on the scene, so I think I don't have to come forward.

Unexpectedly, Long Hao actually found him, which was quite a surprise.

The people of the Three Kings' Mansion were a little surprised when they saw Long Hao asking Li Yun for advice, but only the people from the major families in Chaocheng were not surprised.

Li Yun thought for a while and asked, "Elder Ye, I don't know who is remotely controlling this sea holly?"

"Sea holly only recognizes one owner, so it is generally one person who controls one. Ye Lao replied.

"How far can this master see the various gestures made by Hai Dongqing?"

"About half a day's range. ”

"So, the owner of this sea holly should be within a distance of about half a day in front of us?"

"Yes! It's very likely!" Ye Lao's eyes flashed.

"If we kill this master, how will this sea holly react, and how long will it take for the people in the army to find out about it?" asked Li Yun.

"With the wild nature of the sea holly, it will return to nature on its own and will not return to the army. The person in charge of the military will find out in about a day. Ye Lao pondered.

"Okay, assuming that's the case, then are there any other roads we can take to get into the imperial capital, including other hidden mountain trails?"

"From here to the imperial capital, there is only this official road. There may be other trails, but time is too tight to find them. ”

Ye Lao shook his head, looking at the other people in the palace, they all shook their heads slightly, it seemed that they didn't know that there was another way to enter the imperial capital.
