Volume 2 Who Dominates the Ups and Downs Chapter 116 Goodbye Father
Wang Xu, Tian Dan, and Qi Lu temporarily bid farewell to Qu Yuan and others and arrived in Puyang. After Wang Xu went to Lu's house to visit his mother, he went to Taoyi to see Lu Qianquan, but he didn't want to meet Miri. Several people did not expect to meet in Taoyi, and they were all overjoyed at first sight.
It turned out that Mi Ri happened to come to find Luo Xue, the master of the charm, and the two sides met inadvertently. The news of Jiuding's displacement of Shangqiu reached the ears of Mi Yue, the empress dowager of Qin, who remembered the wooden box that Lizi left for her before her death, took it out and looked at it again, and suddenly realized. Mi Yue called Mi Ri and handed the bamboo slip to Mi Ri. Mi Ri looked at the words on it and said to Mi Yue:
"This is an old thing, where did it come from?"
"Left behind before she left!"
"Where did he come from?"
"I don't know!"
"Have you heard about Jiuding's relocation to Shangqiu?"
"Well, I'm calling you for this!"
"If you want to take the world, take Jiuding first!" Mi Ri looked at the words on the bamboo slips, and then looked at Mi Yue and asked:
"What do you mean?"
"If the first king lifted the tripod and died, did he want to take the nine tripods? If he wants to take the world, he will first take the nine tripods, and now the nine tripods are just a utensil, where can he really represent the world! If this statement is not true, he will not solemnly trust him with this before he dies, and this matter still needs to be clarified!"
"Do you want me to go to the Central Plains to inquire about this?"
"Hmm!" Mi Yue nodded.
Mi Ri first went to Luoyi to inquire about Jiuding, and then went to Taoyi to see Luo Xue, the Meimen in Taoyi. Taoyi is not far from Shangqiu, and Mi Ri intends to ask Luo Xue to pay attention to Shangqiu's tripod in case Jiuding moves again. Luo Xue listened to Mi Ri's words about Jiuding, and remembered that her sister Luo Bai came to see her some time ago, and she also came for Jiuding. Luo Bai came to find his sister Luo Xue and wanted to ask Luo Xue to introduce Huiji Mountain Meisheng and ask about the secrets of Jiuding.
At this time, Luo Xue had already gotten along with Lu Tianquan, Wang Xu and others saw Lu Tianquan, and naturally they also saw Luo Xue, and they happened to meet Miri. Mi Ri knew that Wang Xu knew the anecdotes of the world, and wanted to go to Yunmengze to find Wang Xu to ask about the secret of Jiuding, but he didn't expect to meet him in Taoyi.
Wang Xu and others stayed in Taoyi for two days, and when talking about Gongsun He's intention to seize Jiuding, Luo Xue said to Lu Tianquan:
"Since Gongsun He is so powerful, my sister is afraid that she is in danger, I will go to Shangqiu to inform my sister and ask the deputy saint to help my sister!"
"When do you want to leave?" I'll go with you!" Lu Tianquan said.
"Who is your sister, and how can she be in danger?" the king asked.
"My sister is the Divine Arrow Sect who guards Jiuding!" replied Luo Xue.
"Your sister is from the Divine Arrow Gate? That's a coincidence!" Wang Xu was secretly happy, he originally felt that it was difficult to contact the people of the Divine Arrow Gate, but he didn't expect to have a clue at this time, so he said to Luo Xue:
"With Gongsun He's martial arts cultivation, the deputy saint of Meimen may not be able to deal with it, but there are people who can help!"
"Who can help my sister?" Luo Xue hurriedly asked.
"Originally, I waited for Moxia and the heads of the upper and lower schools to meet and visit Shangqiu together, and I took the first step to visit my mother. The martial arts skills of these two people can compete with Gongsun He, and they can help the Divine Arrow Gate!" Wang Xu said.
"If that's the case, Luo Xue has thanked Mr. for her sister first!" Luo Xue thanked him.
"I'll send a letter to Yingdu immediately, asking them to come to Shangqiu!" Wang Xu said.
"Then we will set off the day after tomorrow and rendezvous with them in Shangqiu!" Lu Tianquan said.
"Good!" replied Wang Xu. Wang Xu remembered the past of the Divine Arrow Gate that he heard from the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the past, and heard that Luo Xue's sister was from the Divine Arrow Gate, so he asked Luo Xue:
"Luo Chaoge is Lingzun?"
"How do you know?" Luo Xue said in surprise.
"I guessed, your grandfather's name is Luo Ning, right?" Wang Xu said with a smile.
"Yes, you listened to your master, right?" said Luo Xue.
"I heard what Uncle Shi said, it's their master!" Wang Xu pointed to Tian Dan and Qi Lu.
"Why do you have such a good memory? I can't even remember!" Qi Lu said as she looked at Wang Xu.
"You only remember what interests you!" Wang Xu said.
"Hmm┄┄ If you want to talk about what I'm interested in, it seems that the only thing I have to do is raise my father!" Qi Lu released his father and touched his father's head.
Luo Xue, Lu Tianquan and the others were startled when they saw their father's appearance. Qi Lu took his father everywhere, but he was always wrapped in cloth clothes, and he released his father for the first time at this time. Luo Xue saw that although the appearance of this animal was weird, it was smart and tame, and after a while, she fell in love with it and couldn't put it down when she touched it.
"When I was young, I stopped suddenly.
"What happened to you when you were young?" Qi Lu looked at Luo Xue and asked.
"When I was a child, I saw a lot of such animals, but I never saw my father!" Luo Xue hesitated.
"You grew up overseas?" Wang Xu asked suddenly.
"Hmm!" Luo Xue nodded.
Wang Xu and Tian Dan looked at each other, and they both had some thoughts in their hearts.
"Why have I never heard you say that I thought you grew up in Huiji Mountain?" Lu Tianquan said.
Luo Xue didn't answer, but said to Qi Lu:
"Let's take it out for fun!"
"Don't take it to a place where there are people!" Tian Dan said to Qi Lu.
"I know, I want you to talk more!" Qi Lubai said.
The two played with their father in a small courtyard for a while, and Qi Lu suddenly said to Luo Xue:
"The place you played in when you were a kid was called Mushroom Mountain, right?"
Luo Xue was taken aback, looked at Qi Lu and nodded.
"Is it fun to get married?" Qi Lu looked at Luo Xue and suddenly asked again.
"It's not fun to get married, I'm not married!" Luo Xue said.
"Isn't he your man?"
"He's my man, but I didn't marry him!"
"Is it fun to have a man in ┄┄?"
Luo Xue didn't expect Qi Lu to ask such a strange question, although she was already a wife, she was still young, so she blushed and said:
"It's kind of fun!"
"Master said I can't get married, and I can't have a man!" Qi Lu seemed a little displeased.
Luo Xue didn't know how to answer, she was silent, and Qi Lu said again:
"I'm going to Mushroom Mountain, I'm going to stay there for the rest of my life, and I don't know why!"
"Mushroom Mountain is very good! When I was a child, I cried and shouted that I wanted to stay in Mushroom Mountain, but my father wouldn't let me, and I don't know why?" Luo Xue has never talked much, but she felt very good at talking to Qilu, she saw that Qilu didn't speak, so she asked in a low voice:
"Do you like that guy?"
Qi Lu nodded, still silent.
"Do you miss him before you go to bed, do you think about him when you close your eyes?" Luo Xue asked again.
Qi Lu was silent for a while, shook her head and said:
"I only think about it once in a while!"
"That's okay!" Luo Xue, who has always been indifferent, smiled and said: "Actually, men are like a pot of charcoal, which can only warm up the body, and there is nothing fun about it!"
"My father's body is very warm, I lean on my father at night, and I fell asleep after a while!"
Luo Xue smiled silently, thinking of Lu Qianquan's gentle care, and felt a lot warmer in her heart. When the two returned to the house, they found that there was another person, and this person was Lu Zhonglian.
After Su Qin and Lu Zhong met with Song Yu, they went to see the King of Qi together, told the King of Qi the situation concisely, and asked the King of Qi to send troops to intercept Jiuding. Su Qin lobbied the king of Qi again with the remark of "those who get the nine tripods can win the world", but the king of Qi was unmoved. King Qi was forced to the palace by Yi Dan and others before, and he still had lingering palpitations, and he didn't want to provoke right and wrong again. Su Qin speculated that the King of Qi was afraid of the forces of the rivers and lakes, so he asked Lu Zhonglian to make his eyes align with the king:
"If my king takes Jiuding, these Jianghu forces will inevitably come to my Qi palace to seek revenge and cause trouble, it is really not worth risking my life for the sake of Jiuding, don't take it!"
"The widow is not afraid of the power of the rivers and lakes, but it is not clear what the value of the Jiuding is, and whether it is worth the widow's hard work!"
When Lu Zhonglian heard this, he knew that this was Su Qin's agitation method, so he continued Su Qin's words:
"This time, the two forces of the rivers and lakes are fighting for Jiuding, and they will not die with each other, and the two sides will definitely suffer heavy losses, and I am afraid that they will not be able to break into the palace for a while! Besides, I am the king of the Qi Kingdom, how can I be afraid of these forces in the rivers and lakes!"
"My king is naturally not afraid!, but if these people in the rivers and lakes really get the artifact, I am afraid that the secret hidden by Jiuding will not be able to be kept┄┄" Su Qin deliberately threw out the bait again.
"What do you mean by Aiqing?" King Qi wondered.
"Since ancient times, 'those who get Jiuding can win the world', this will not be for no reason! These people in the rivers and lakes are desperately competing for Jiuding, naturally not for the world, how can Jiuding have no secrets?" Su Qin said.
Su Qin knew the personality of the King of Qi very well, knew that the King of Qi wanted to save face, and he was so happy, so he first used the method of agitation, and then revealed the secret of the Nine Tripods that Song Yu said to the King of Qi. Although the king of Qi had some scruples, after all, he was a person with great ambitions, and he weighed the advantages and disadvantages, so he asked Su Qin to mobilize troops and horses in Juanyi with the power of the army, in order to intercept Gongsun He and others on the south bank of the Yellow River, and wait for the opportunity to seize Jiuding. Juanyi is located between the Qi Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom and the Song Kingdom, and is a border city on the south bank of the Yellow River of the Qi State, very close to Taoyi. Lu Zhonglian followed Su Qin to Taoyi, and then came to visit his old friend Lu Qianquan.
Lu Zhonglian was also a frequent visitor to Taoyi Yiren Pavilion in the past, and when he came in, he happened to hear Wang Xu and others mention the name of Gongsun He, so he was surprised and asked what was going on. Lu Zhonglian originally liked to make friends with the world's famous people, but he didn't expect to meet the Guigumen and Xuanmen disciples at this time.
"If Gongsun He wants to transport Jiuding away by boat, he will go ashore in the Juanyi area. It's just that it's not easy to sail on the Yellow River!" Lu said.
"The Yellow River is turbulent in summer, and there is much ice in winter, although it is autumn at this time, you can sail downstream, there are still waterfalls and broken streams in the upstream, he wants to use a boat to transport Jiuding, I'm afraid he can't go far!" Wang Xu said.
"Master built a mother and son boat, the big boat runs downstream, and the small boat has its own wheels, which can be used both amphibious and can sail on dry land, precisely to avoid waterfalls and broken streams!" Lu Zhong said.
"An amphibious ship? Unheard of! I am afraid that only the people of Lubanmen have the ability to build such a miraculous ship!" Lu Tianquan said.
"The big ship is equipped with many strong crossbows, plus many Jianghu masters to escort it, even if someone intercepts it when sailing, it is not easy to get it!" Lu Zhong said.
"The downstream water surface is wide, flowing through the Central Plains countries, it is indeed easy to be intercepted, it seems that Gongsun He has been prepared for a long time, I don't know where he wants to transport the Jiuding artifact?" Wang Xu pondered.
"Su Qin is arranging defenses in Juanyi, he must want to stop Jiuding before Gongsun He gets on the boat! Su Qin is bent on winning the crown for the king of Qi, somehow? Does he really think that the one who wins Jiuding can win the world?" Tian Dan also pondered.
Two days later, Wang Xu, Luo Xue and others went to Shangqiu Tugu Mountain, and under the introduction of Luo Xue, they met Tiangai and Yi Dan and others from the Shenjian Gate. When everyone talked about Jiuding, Lu Zhonglian told Song Yu the secret of Jiuding, Wang Xu remembered what he had seen and heard in the past, and fell into contemplation for a while. When Wang Xu mentioned Fei Deng of the Divine Arrow Gate, Tiangai told Wang Xu that Fei Deng betrayed the master and deserved it when he died.
On the second day, Meng Ying, Ling Junzi, Qu Yuan and others also arrived in Shangqiu and stayed at the next day inn in Shangqiu City. The next day residence is the property of Lu Qianquan, and it is also the residence they agreed on. Wang Xu and the others spent a night in Tugu Mountain, and then they were united with them.
