Chapter 67: Meeting (3)
In the palace, five people surrounded the fire, shabu the most famous copper furnace hot pot mutton in the imperial city of Zhao Kingdom, dipped in the delicious sauce, indescribably delicious.
In the winter of Zhao State, if you don't eat mutton in the copper furnace, you are destined to be imperfect in winter.
Emperor Zhao left Li Yan alone to take care of it, and the others were ordered to go out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I haven't tasted it so delicious in a long time. Ning Beichuan was eating mutton and drinking wine, his stomach was warm, and he couldn't say that it was comfortable: "When Xiaoqing wakes up in a few days, you must treat her to a good meal, this little girl is a foodie." ”
"Beichuan, tell me how you started cultivating immortals. Emperor Zhao said curiously.
Ning Beichuan glanced at Bai Jiu and Ying Tianjiao, and then slowly spoke, which roughly means that he visited the famous mountains and rivers, and then met the retreating Yuntian Sect elder in Daying Mountain, and the elder saw that he was smart, so he accepted him as an apprentice.
Ning Beichuan put luck first and did not mention half a sentence of hardship. But Emperor Zhao was as careful as a hair, so he could naturally know that it was not easy, but Beichuan was afraid that he was worried and didn't say it.
"Princess Tianjiao doesn't have to be polite, this time there are only five of us, it should be an ordinary family banquet, don't blame me for losing the courtesy, I just heard Beichuan say that you are here to find relatives?"
Seeing this, the queen next to her immediately filled up the wine, and after she took a pill of Huangjing Pill just now, the vitality lost in giving birth to a child was immediately replenished, saving the pain of confinement.
As for His Royal Highness Wangchuan, he was taken over by an experienced nurse to take care of him. Even if you are the emperor and queen, you are a first-time father and mother, and you don't have enough experience.
Ying Tianjiao nodded and said, "I'm here to find Uncle Wang, he went to Zhao Kingdom thirty years ago, and there has been no news for so many years, by the way, he is also a cultivator." ”
"Cultivator? I can't hide it, the cultivator I know knows that there is only one national teacher, but it's a pity that he is not in the imperial city at the moment. Emperor Zhao said suspiciously, he really didn't know what the identity of the national teacher was, he only knew that this person had always guarded their Ji family, and he was absolutely reliable.
Ying Tianjiao then asked, "Then where is he?"
Emperor Zhao drank a glass of wine alone, and said with a melancholy expression: "You must already know that a large number of people in Zhao State have disappeared inexplicably this year, causing panic in the people's hearts, and the army went to check, but there were no clues, just like when Zhixuan disappeared, the national teacher had to check." ”
"It's just like when Zhixuan disappeared", this sentence suddenly hit Ning Beichuan's chest. He turned his head to look at Bai Jiu, the irrepressible coldness in his eyes, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
I hadn't thought about it before, but now Emperor Zhao nodded to himself in one sentence. The five great powers are originally countries outside the world, there are no immortal cultivators, in recent years, there is only one outsider in the Blood Demon Gate, could it be that the Blood Demon Gate took away Zhixuan. Or the situation is even worse, Zhixuan has been killed and sacrificed into the Soul Devouring Banner.
Under Ning Beichuan's eyes, Bai Jiu felt that his surroundings were filled with seawater, and he couldn't breathe, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what to say.
"Beichuan, did you connect these two things together?" Zhao Huang looked at Ning Beichuan and Bai Jiu, and found that the relationship between the two was a little strange, and this Bai Jiu seemed to be very jealous of Ning Beichuan.
Ning Beichuan realized that he was out of shape, his face softened a little, and said, "I'm afraid not, at that time, the national teacher told me that Zhixuan was taken away by the immortals. ”
Calm down and think carefully, it was not the people of the Blood Demon Sect who took Zhixuan away. The national teacher said that Zhixuan was taken away by a powerful immortal that day, and with the hand of the national teacher Xiao Lu that day, he was at least much stronger than Bai Jiu, if it was really the Blood Demon Sect's doing, he wouldn't care. Secondly, the Blood Demon Gate's sacrifice to refine the Soul Devouring Banner, although it is a shot to change a place, but it will not only sacrifice one person, at that time, only Zhixuan was missing in Masui County, and there were many suspicions.
Bai Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "To make so many people disappear quietly, only cultivators have this means, I and my junior brother have already found out when we passed by the town, but there is a lot of involvement behind it, so I decided to discuss it with your national teacher and make plans." ”
"Immortal cultivators, why did they kill the people of Zhao Kingdom. The queen couldn't help but ask.
Bai Jiu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said: "There are also good and evil people who cultivate immortals, among which the evil demon outer way likes to refine evil treasures by using people's souls and essence blood to improve their strength. ”
"Damn!" Emperor Zhao stood up and roared angrily: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as dogs, if it is really the work of a cultivator, even if the foundation of Zhao is destroyed, we have to fight with him, why can they decide our life and death?"
"Your Majesty, you have drunk too much. The queen looked at the indignant Emperor Zhao and pulled the corner of his clothes.
Emperor Zhao said with a hideous face: "I didn't drink too much, my son of heaven was given by the people of Zhao State, if I can't make decisions for the people, what else can I do." The three billion people of my Zhao Kingdom are not fish and meat on someone else's chopping board, even if it is a bite per person, these so-called cultivators will be bitten to death. ”
The ants bit the elephant to death, and Emperor Zhao was arrogant, and he did not become depressed because the other party was a cultivator.
Such a king who is dedicated to the people, even Bai Jiu has a sense of admiration.
Ying Tianjiao was also moved, and her brother Wang was also a diligent and loving king like the monarch of Zhao State, so Qin State and Zhao State could stand out among the five countries.
"Your Majesty, I came back this time to settle this matter and repay you for your kindness. Ning Beichuan said with a solemn expression.
Emperor Zhao pretended to be displeased and said: "Beichuan, do you still need these between you and me? You finally set foot on the immortal road, go to Zhixuan with peace of mind." ”
"But Your Majesty, I was born in Zhao and raised in Zhao State, and Zhao Country is also a flesh and blood relative to me. Ning Beichuan said excitedly.
Emperor Zhao looked at Ning Beichuan and nodded heavily, such Ning Beichuan was the person he regarded as a confidant.
"As far as I know, the other party is a huge Xiuzhen sect, and I can't resist it on my own, so I'm just going to discuss with the national teacher, but unfortunately he is no longer in the imperial city. Perhaps, the national teacher can also know where Tianjiao's Uncle Wang is, after all, he is a cultivator of Zhao State, and he may be able to know more things. Ning Beichuan analyzed.
"The national teacher replied a month ago, saying that things were a little tricky, he was in Yunzhou at the time, but now I don't know where it is. Zhao Huang said: "After so many years, it is the first time to see him so nervous, it seems that the enemy this time is really not simple." ”
"Then I need to go to Yunzhou, Tianjiao, do you have any tokens, I'll go with Senior Brother Bai Jiu this time, you stay here, and Xiaoqing can have a good look." Ning Beichuan said.
Ying Tianjiao thought for a moment, took out a quick jade pendant from the storage bag, and handed it to Ning Beichuan.
Ning Beichuan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, it was just an ordinary jade pendant, but there was a jade button on it, it was obvious that there was a pair of jade pendants, and the other half should be in her uncle's hand.
