Chapter 41: The Heavenly Fruit

The moonlight is cold, the wind blows late on the peak of the Winter Ridge, and the voice is whimpering, like an ancient song, but I don't know who sang it, and for whom it wiped out the unconcealable melancholy in the chest.

On the top of the mountain, the dead rocks were like mountains, and the half-rotten skeleton eagle towered like a ghost, and it was mentioned that it was more huge than a giant elephant, and in the deep and secluded eye sockets, two oily green flames burned.

This is the legend of Dongling Mountain, the cold of scavenging, which is a powerful existence that existed here many years ago, is the eagle of eagles, the male of males. This legendary creature, because of its very powerful and many ancient and celebrated experiences, has also become the belief of the people of the Winter Ridge Mountains.

The eagle does not die, and faith does not die!

And who would have thought that the key to finding the martial soul existed here.

Zhao Songming, who heard Duo Jiao's voice, did not look back, but quickly inserted it into the skeleton's eye, and quickly withdrew his hand, at this time there was already one more thing in his hand, and he quietly stuffed this thing in his arms.

Good night and fast speed.

Since it is easy to get it, how can it be given up halfway.

However, after the scavenging cold was gone, the flames in the eye sockets disappeared, and the huge body suddenly dispersed, only to hear a clatter, and then was blown away in the night wind like a knife.

Feathers return to the sky, bones return to mountain streams, and souls follow the wind, this is the best destination for eagles.

"Envoy, please hand over your things. ”

"What, what is it?" Zhao Songming's face was stunned, and he shook his head and said: "Princess, the wind is strong here, and the old rotten bones can't bear it, so I won't accompany you." ”

At this time, when the cold sword blade was suddenly quietly placed on his neck, Zhao Songming's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the whole person trembled.

"The envoy must not have thought that there was a third person in this small place. ”

Zhao Songming tilted his head slightly and looked at Duo Jiao, under the moonlight, the girl turned her back to him, looked up at the moon in the sky, and naturally exuded a supreme dignity on her body, which made him a little stunned.

It felt fleeting.

"I didn't expect His Highness to hide so deeply, and there is a king realm protection by his side, hehe, no wonder, I have always heard that my aunt and nephew are incompatible, but I didn't expect it to have reached such a level of incompatibility, and I need the protection of this kind of big master. Zhao Songming laughed, and at the critical time, he still did not forget to separate the relationship between Princess Yanzhu and Duojiao. When he slowly took the thing out of his arms, it seemed like a wind was blowing through his hand, and when he looked at it again, the thing in his hand was no longer in his hand.

"Uncle Shi, take Master Zhao down and treat him well. ”

Duo Jiao said, turned her head, and the one who restrained Zhao Songming was naturally none other than her uncle Xiyun.

However, Zhao Songming's strength is too low after all, and his understanding of the Dian Kingdom is not so thorough, this Xiyun is not a master of the King Realm at all, but as the junior sister of Qinghai Yi, one of the big bosses of the Crane Ghost God Sect, her understanding of witchcraft completely surpasses that of Duojiao.

Zhao Songming thought she was some kind of king realm master.

In terms of theory, Xiyun's strength is better than that of the King Realm.

Xiyun and Duo Jiao glanced at each other and nodded to each other.

Xiyun glanced down at this Shadow Heavenly Fruit, and to be honest, he was really a little moved, and said, "Little guy, this thing is extremely precious, you have to protect it." The pattern on it contains a witchcraft mystery, you can take a good look at it, maybe there is anything else to learn!"

With a flick of the jade finger, something that radiated light shot out of her hand, and Duo Jiao grasped it steadily.

"Thank you Uncle for your advice!"

"What, there is a secret on this?" Zhao Songming was puzzled when he heard this, and at this time, Xiyun smacked Zhao Songming's body a few times, and Zhao Songming's body softened.

Xiyun dragged Zhao Songming's body, yes, it was dragging, she was like a butcher dragging a dead dog, and she gradually drifted away. This is really cool, and even Duo Jiao is extremely emotional.

Duo Jiao looked down at the stone in his hand, this thing was really just like Xu Tianqiu said, it was a six-eyed heavenly fruit. However, this six-eyed heavenly fruit is very peculiar, not to mention that the color is not ordinary black and white, but the color of green and gloomy.

In addition, the eye-like lines on this heavenly fruit are not arranged in an orderly manner, they are more disordered, and between the eyes, they are hand-drawn, and the lines are connected, which looks very much like a map.

"The texture of this Heavenly Fruit is really different, and the master also said that the texture of the high-grade Heavenly Fruit contains an innate artistic conception. ”

Duo Jiao checked this Heavenly Fruit, and secretly sighed that his current witchcraft realm was still too low, and he couldn't immediately find the mystery from this Heavenly Fruit.

"Celestial Fruit is a must-have for us wizards, why don't we ...... I urge with my soul power. ”

With the soul power on the body, it naturally poured in, and then the six eye-like lines on the heavenly fruit lit up one after another, until the last eye lit up, the whole stone burst into flames, and the cyan soul fire burned on the eyes, broke away from the stone, and finally converged together, turning into a thick cyan mass.

The light grew, writhing, and deformed, and the image of a giant eagle appeared on the palm of his hand, very similar to the scavenging cold.

"I see. Duo Jiao lost her strength, and the giant eagle naturally dissipated with the wind, and she wiped the fine layer of sweat from her forehead.

The consumption of this Heavenly Fruit on her body is really a bit large, if it weren't for the fact that her real strength didn't stop at the ink robe, otherwise she would never be able to drive this Six-Eyed Heavenly Fruit. Through this move, she also knew that if she wanted to unearth all the secrets in this heavenly fruit, she was afraid that she would have to wait a little longer.

......

Zhao Songming was taken into custody, Xu Tianqiu was killed, and together with this group of Han entourage, they also confronted the guards of the chief Haru. Duo Jiao had a secret conversation with the commander for a long time, and the confrontation eased slightly with the promise that Zhao Songming would never be harmed, but the two sides had long ceased to trust.

The commander of the army knew that the strong dragon did not suppress the snake, so he had no choice but to agree to Duo Jiao's suggestion, and he would definitely give the emperor of the Han Dynasty a proper explanation.

But the trouble has only just begun.

By the next day, all the news about the hasty end of the trip to Dongling Mountain reached Yongyuan in the Dian Kingdom, and various gossip rumors circulated in the Dian Kingdom.

Even if Zhao Songming and Xu Tianqiu went too far, they were all big Han people behind them, and the great Han Dynasty had destroyed many strong enemies one after another, and its majesty was unquestionable.

The courtiers of the Dian Kingdom were silent at the court meeting the next day, and their mood was particularly worried.

Even the eldest princess Yanzhu secretly ordered Longxi to investigate the whole story. What she is most worried about now is not the anger of the Han Dynasty, but the anger of Gang Zhenxi!

Therefore, the eldest princess even came to the prison in person and met Zhao Songming.

As for Zhao Songming, who knows everything, although his face is like ashes, he is not afraid.

In the end, the Dian Kingdom would definitely not dare to kill him, and once he was killed, it would be a matter of war between the two countries. The biggest question now is how to explain after returning to the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhao Songming's heart was so bitter.

But Zhao Songming understands better that Duo Jiao and Yan Zhu are not harmonious, and there are too many secrets about this Hidden Heavenly Fruit Duo Jiao, if it flows from his mouth to Yan Zhu's side, although it will disturb a certain pattern of the Dian Kingdom. But for now, it is better to protect oneself and must not make enemies on both sides.

Now, even if he is facing the eldest princess Yanzhu, he can only keep his mouth shut, and he must not say half a word again.

Bitter, he suspected that the old gall in his body had been broken, and his old mouth was full of bitterness......

"Unexpectedly, these two people pretended to go to pick snow cashmere, and did the thing of no return, in a vain attempt to spy on the secret treasures of my Dian Kingdom. Envoy Zhao, this is also unintentional, I came by order, I hope that you will still discuss more, how to present this matter to the Han Dynasty, neither offend the Han nobles, nor ...... Let our country suffer this dumb loss in vain. But even more not...... If it is not clear, it is up to me to bear all these responsibilities. ”

In the court, Duo Jiao said a few words lightly, and said everything roughly. In his words, he vaguely covered up necessary matters such as heavenly fruits, and consulted the ministers.

"Everyone, you might as well express your opinions!"

Duo Jiao said again.

What is in front of you is nothing more than the release of the Han envoy, explaining the cause and effect, and how to apologize to the Han State. But the ministers present all knew that if they wanted to provide a solution, it would definitely damage the majesty of the royal family of the Dian Kingdom. The other party is a strong man, the Heavenly Empire!

There was silence in the court for a moment, and a young courtier bowed slightly, and said: "Your Highness, if you kill the prisoner of the deputy envoy, you will naturally be beheaded, otherwise how to explain to the Celestial Empire." Why don't I wait...... Let Zhao Zun envoy take that annoying endlessly and return to Luoyang City to die!"

"Oh, is this your solution?"

Duo Jiao snorted coldly and asked rhetorically, everyone could hear that this was a prelude to an explosion.

Jokes, if you want to take Wuyan away, it's impossible. Besides, Duo Jiao is the one who killed Xu Tianqiu, are you going to kill her? Suddenly, three black lines appeared on Duo Jiao's forehead, and she tried hard to restrain herself from breaking out!

But before she could speak, someone took the case first and scolded angrily.

"Bastard thing!!"

Shaoli, who was originally mild-mannered, suddenly became angry, like a docile rabbit suddenly became angry.

"The fault of this matter is not in my Dian Kingdom, although that Wuya is just an ordinary guard, he is a meritorious person who found out about this matter. Not only do you not want to talk about the rewards, but you also want to fall into the ground? In the long run, who in our Dian Kingdom will dare to act as a warrior and take control of our borders! It's a waste, you're a waste!"

But the courtier couldn't think of why these truthful words would alarm the young king. The whole body is like sifting chaff, and there is a faint urge to urinate that is about to get out of control!

If you want to blame, blame the original committee in this matter, Shaoli Wang also participated in it, and he is one of the main culprits who killed Xu Tianqiu, and Wuya is guilty again, what do you want to do?

"Your Highness, minister, I have something to say. ”

Shaoli saw that it was Master Wen who spoke, his eyes squinted at his sister Duojiao, and he took the initiative to retreat to his seat and did not speak again.

"Lord Wen, please speak. Duo Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. This Master Wen has always been his own mouthpiece.

"Your Highnesses. Master Wen bowed to Shaoli and continued: "This matter is heavy and light. The important thing is that these two envoys are both Han ministers, and behind them is the Celestial Empire, so if they act rashly, they are afraid of causing trouble to the army. But now that the wood has been completed, if you can't give an explanation to the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid that the next thing will be difficult. But on the other hand, I am afraid that the whole country will know about the impact of this matter soon, and it is impossible to hide it, but whether it is to give an explanation to the Han Dynasty or to cheer up our Dian Kingdom, it is unreasonable to kill and reward. ”

After a pause, Duo Jiao looked at Shaoli and asked him to make a statement.

Shao Li said: "What is the high opinion of Lord Wen?"

"It's better to do this, Your Highness will see how to let this person intervene in the selection of Atai at the end of the year in the name of a warrior, and once he wins, he will be pardoned for his crimes, which also shows that this son is a hero. If they lose, they will be punished by joining the army. ”

The so-called Atai is the homonym of warriors. In the Dian Kingdom, Atai is the highest honor of the men of the Dian Kingdom, and all martial artists under the age of 30 are eligible to sign up for the Atai Trials once every few years, which is just like the competition in front of the palace in the Han Dynasty. The same is true in the Dian Kingdom.

However, the rights of the Dian Atai are even greater, and some outstanding Atai can even be qualified to apply for a new tribe by virtue of their military exploits.

The border barbarian land mentioned by the Han Dynasty and the fierce folk customs are because of this kingdom system and regulations. But Atai is stubble after stubble, and there is no shortage of amazing talents.

"Lord Wen is not a loser in my court, what he said is extremely true, accurate!"

This approach happened to be in the middle of Duojiao and Shao's arms, and was accepted by the dynasty.

It's just that after the court meeting, Zhao Songming, who was released, inadvertently saw Wang Nuduojiao looking at him, and after he apologized, he gathered people and hurriedly said goodbye.

Nonsense, this Dian country can't stay for a moment, even if it can be brought down, this old face can't be stopped.

"My lord, what should I do now?" Outside the palace, the commander of the army hurriedly walked over when he saw Zhao Songming's uncertain expression, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Zhao Songming frowned, glanced at him, and said angrily: "What else can I do." ”

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked forward.

The commander of the army hurriedly followed, and he understood the implication that he could only return to the court.

Zhao Songming is also an old man, and he knows that this matter can no longer be explained, Xu Tianqiu and Xu Dashao's corpses are lying in the carriage of the team, and they can't die anymore.

"Yes, this is all the fault of these Yunnan barbarians, the blame is not on me! Wait for me to think carefully along the way, I must get out safely, yes, I want to find General Xu Sheng, and only he can save me." ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Songming seemed to have made up his mind and knew what to do.

Now as long as you go back, the old general Xu Sheng told him that His Majesty will probably send a large army to set foot in the Dian Kingdom. I still have some life on my own.

It's just that Zhao Songming didn't consider it at all, and his return to the Han Dynasty was also a death, mainly because until now, he didn't know the value of the Heavenly Fruit to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and this matter involved too much secret, the treasure of the gods and men was not said to be Xu Sheng, the Han Emperor, and even a super strong person like Gang Zhenxi who reached the realm of the gods and men would also have a covetous heart.

In this matter, up to now, in the entire Dian Kingdom, there is only Duo Jiao who learned the secret from Xu Tianqiu.

As soon as the commander of the army heard that Zhao Songming was going back, he hurriedly ordered people to prepare the carriage.

"Your Excellency, please. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Songming was now like an arrow, and when he saw that the convoy was ready, he hurriedly went up, but as soon as one leg stepped on, the other leg did not move.
