Chapter 223: Threats
"Sure enough, it's the insect control technique of the Central Plains. Mingxi tapped the table lightly with his fingers, there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and he also pulled Yun Qiushui's thoughts back to the present, and smiled, "No wonder I invited people from the four realms who are good at insect control techniques to come over to check on the situation of the eldest aunt, and they all said that this method is unheard of, and the serious consequences of backlashing themselves are not common, originally she really went to the Central Plains, presumably this kind of insect control technique was also taught by that Miao man, right?"
Yun Qiushui pondered for a moment and explained: "The terrain of Southern Xinjiang is complex, so there are many sects, but most of them do not interact with the Central Plains martial arts. ”
Mingxi just answered lightly, and said casually: "Then there is no way, I can't help her like this, I have more important things to deal with now, and I can't spare my hand to ask someone to go to the Central Plains to find someone to save her." ”
Yun Qiushui knew that this was just his polite words, and then, Mingxi pointed to the jade-faced divine mirror and ancient jade on the table, and finally picked up the topic: "Don't hide it, Shen Yue is no longer important to me, to the royal family, and even to Feiyuan, the main purpose of my invitation to Mrs. Yun to talk this time is for this mirror, my queen mother is still living in this mirror painfully, I can neither save her nor give her relief." ”
"Living in the mirror?" Yun Qiushui was startled, and his eyes were attracted by the delicate and small jade-faced mirror in his palm, Mingxi handed it over very carefully, and found that his arm was so tense that he lost his strength, and raised his other hand to hold it together, and said, "This thing is called the mirror of the moon, it is a kind of magic to freeze time and space in the heavenly realm, after the queen mother committed suicide in front of my eyes, she was sent into it by her father when she was about to lose her breath, and it has been eighteen years since now." ”
"She had a fatal wound in her heart, which kept bleeding and then flowed back to her heart, and she survived the divine power of the Mirror of the Moon, and now the queen mother...... It is to live, not to die. ”
Yun Qiushui's heart suddenly froze, and he looked at the jade-faced divine mirror, although it was surging with the divine power that made her unspeakable, but the mirror was covered with tiny cracks, Mingxi glanced at her quickly, he tried his best to breathe, he slowly helped him stand up, and said lightly: "Feng Jiuqing has been here, just to assist my father in repairing the cracks on the mirror, I hope Mrs. Yun can help me find him, even if I can't rescue the queen mother, I also hope to give her a decent way to leave." ”
"Feng Jiuqing......" Yun Qiushui muttered this familiar name, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, for so many years, Feng Jiuqing was like evaporating from the world to her, even his daughter Yun Xiao was born, he may not know at all, thinking of these past events, Yun Qiushui sighed, and couldn't help shaking his head, "I don't have any news of him, since the negative qi returned to Kunlun that year, we haven't seen each other again." ”
Mingxi was not surprised, and a smile slowly overflowed at the corner of his mouth: "I know, I have investigated some of Mrs. Yun's affairs, but I believe that with you, he is willing to come back to see you." ”
Yun Qiushui stared at Mingxi with a complicated expression, not understanding what the new emperor was thinking about, Mingxi took back the jade-faced mirror from her hand, pushed open the window on the top of the star-picking building, stretched out her hand facing the east, and pointed at each other from afar: "Last night, the Moon Holy Maiden received an urgent report from the East Immortal Wanyou City, Xiao Qianye and Yun Xiao have returned to Feiyuan and appeared in the city, but there was an accident in the planetarium in the city, causing the two to escape again, and their whereabouts are currently unknown. ”
Yun Qiushui didn't dare to answer, his heart was beating violently, but Mingxi still said coldly: "I know their purpose, it is the seal in the East Underworld, once it is broken, I also know the result......
Yun Qiushui blurted out in surprise, and said uneasily: "Since you know, why have you been indifferent so far, and just asked the entire territory to be dike about his whereabouts? Why don't you evacuate the nearby people in advance to avoid implicating innocents?"
"Evacuation?" Mingxi smiled, but his eyes were always cold, and he coldly threw down a sentence, "Hasn't Mrs. Yun heard the word 'broken' from Feng Jiuqing's mouth?
Yun Qiushui's face turned pale when she heard this, Feng Jiuqing didn't tell her some legends about this isolated island, but those things came out of his mouth lightly, and she couldn't empathize with what kind of disaster it was, until she returned to Feiyuan this time, and everyone mentioned the word "broken" as if she was facing a great enemy, and she really felt that kind of tension.
But...... Yun Qiushui looked at the emperor in front of him, still puzzled, his eyes were like the morning sun, obviously extremely dazzling, but bottomless.
Mingxi continued to speak calmly, making his own guess: "I think that as Xiao Qianye's first attempt to promise to assist the Night King, he will most likely not show up by himself, but will let Feng Jiuqing personally stare at it." ”
Yun Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while, only to see Mingxi suddenly raise his eyebrows and laugh, thoughtfully, his eyes gradually turned stern, and his tone was lowered a little bit: "If you stay in Tianyu City, will Feng Jiuqing take a detour?"
Yun Qiushui looked at him expressionlessly, and he had already faintly sensed that Mrs. Ming Qi's worries were not completely unreasonable.
"If Mrs. Yun doesn't mind, let's stay in the Imperial Capital City for the time being, and it's okay to live with my seventh aunt. Although Mingxi was still a polite invitation, Yun Qiushui knew that it was an invisible threat, and she was not allowed to resist at all, and before she could think of how to reply, Mingxi had already continued to herself, "But Tianche can allow him to leave the imperial capital, and if Madam is worried about Yunxiao's safety, I can also provide some clues for them to meet." ”
"What do you mean by this...... Yun Qiushui was puzzled, feeling that this person's words did not match the words before and after, full of strange contradictions, not only to restrict her freedom, but also to surprisingly let Tianche go, but Mingxi didn't seem to want to explain at all, and didn't let her have any chance to question, and whispered directly to the door: "Zhu Yan, you guys come in together." ”
The door was gently pushed open, this time Zhu Yan walked in front, the person who was standing on the left followed closely, Mingxi pointed to the person behind him, and said, "Mrs. Yun should have noticed that his sight and hearing were sealed by the Ten Sword Sealing Technique, I wonder if you can unlock it?"
Yun Qiushui frowned, the man looked very young, dressed in the silver-black uniform of the military pavilion, even if he kept his eyes closed, he could see that the vigilance and defense were obvious on his face, she pointed and asked, "What the hell is going on with him?"
"He originally had a poison planted by Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, which could gradually erode consciousness, and instead, in order to alleviate the process of poisoning, he was sealed by Xiao Qianye with the sealing ten sword method. ”187
Yun Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Qianye has not learned the solution of the Ten Sealing Sword Technique, he shouldn't use this kind of sword technique on people to ......."
"It's because he can't do it that he has to trouble Madame. Mingxi also smiled helplessly, and even kindly reminded, "Your disciple Cen Ge is still trapped by the Ten Sword Sealing Technique and can't get out." ”
Yun Qiushui looked at him embarrassedly, but when he remembered that the person who did it was Xiao Qianye, he felt that it was reasonable.
Mingxi's eyes slowly condensed, and he sat back by the window, looking a little uncertain, and casually ordered: "That's all I have to say, I hope Mrs. Yun will also think about it, Zhu Yan, send Mrs. back." ”
"Yes. Zhu Yan lowered his head to take orders, let go of a position, and made a gesture of please, Yun Qiushui paused, looked at the eldest princess Mingyu who was trapped by the space technique, and still asked worriedly, "How is Your Majesty going to place the eldest princess?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Mingxi's hand slowly clenched, slowly let go, took a light breath, and replied in a low voice, "For the time being...... Let's stay in the Star Picking Tower. ”
Yun Qiushui raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that this was already the emperor's biggest concession.
Leaving the top of the Star Picking Building, Mu Xizhao still stood by the door without saying a word, only Zhu Yan smiled and led her up the mechanical ladder, and the two returned to the ground in silence all the way.
Yun Qiushui inhaled hard, making her chaotic brain a little clearer, Zhu Yan looked at her gently from the side, and asked, "Madame, do you still want to continue to walk around the inner city?" ”
"Although the imperial city is magnificent, there is no freedom, there is no place for freedom, there is nothing better. Yun Qiushui waved her hand and refused, and walked back by herself, at this time the sky in the imperial capital city was bright, and she silently swept all kinds of people around her, each of them had a tired face, as if facing a great enemy, but the crowd of people who came and went was still like an invisible veil through a layer of indifference, indifferent to the two people who came down from the star picking tower.
Zhu Yan politely kept a distance of about three steps, Yun Qiushui didn't speak, he followed and was silent, not only did not have any embarrassment, but made her feel surprisingly comfortable.
"You really understand people's hearts. For a long time, on the contrary, Yun Qiushui couldn't hold back and took the initiative to turn around and mutter, Zhu Yan's expression was calm and laughed, he raised his head inexplicably in the fine snow, looked into the distance far-reachingly, and was silent for a long time, "In a place like the imperial capital, if you can't understand people's hearts, you will die." ”
Yun Qiushui looked at him fixedly, and for a moment felt that this notorious male pet was actually not so repulsive.
The two continued to walk forward, and after leaving the inner city, Zhu Yan stopped, leaned over and said softly: "I'll send it here next, this place is not far from the Ye family, and I ask Mrs. to go back by herself." ”
"Good. Yun Qiushui nodded, and after he turned to leave, the strange spells around him disappeared in an instant.
Yun Qiushui continued to walk towards the Ye family alone, not noticing that Zhu Yan quickly stopped again, his fingertips clenched slightly, and his eyes looked at him brightly.
The next moment, a staggering figure stumbled out of the alley at the other end, she was disheveled and disheveled, rushed straight to Yunqiushui, grabbed her arms with all her strength, and wailed heartbreakingly: "Help me!
Yun Qiushui was overwhelmed by this sudden call for help, and the woman's sharp roar also attracted the servants who had been chasing behind him, although those people were subordinates, but they were extremely gorgeously dressed, and they finally caught up with people, and they didn't have time to catch their breath, so they hurriedly pressed down the crazy woman, one took out the rope from his arms, and the two worked together to tie their hands and feet, and the four of them lifted the woman up with a low cry at the same time.
"Help me, save me!" The woman was still kicking and kicking frantically, the servant nodded and bowed to Yun Qiushui in apology, wiped the sweat that ran out of the ice and snow, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll take the princess back......"
"Princess?" Yun Qiushui was startled, and before she could stop her, Mrs. Mingqi's anxious voice came from behind her, "Qiushui is back, come in, don't worry about those things." ”
Mrs. Mingqi rushed out and pulled her away, and persuaded in a low voice: "That's the fifth princess Mingshu, she suddenly went crazy a month ago, you don't care about other people's affairs, go back with me first." ”
Yun Qiushui was dragged by her and couldn't move, and wanted to continue to take another look, but at this time, another group of people hurriedly arrived with a sedan chair, stuffed the fifth princess into it, and then ran away as fast as they ran.
"Heh......" Zhu Yan on the corner of the wall smiled slightly, already guessing the subtle reason, and returned to the inner city quietly.
