Chapter 226: The Three-Day Covenant
But Shen Ling was disappointed that Ji Shan didn't know exactly what was hidden behind Su Zhen's betrayal of the Great Cloud Sect.
He just told Shen Ling that on the third day of the opening of the Great Cloud Sect, he received a message from Lu Jingtian, saying that the Great Cloud Sect had suffered a great change and sent him a plea for help, but he was still a step too late.
After listening to what Ji Shan said, Shen Ling always felt very confused, now that the people of the three factions had retreated, he couldn't know the whereabouts of his mother-in-law, Qingni and the two uncles.
But what made him and Ben incomprehensible was that masters like his mother-in-law and the two uncles, in the world, they are all difficult to meet opponents, how could they disappear for no reason, which made him unable to figure it out.
Shen Ling felt that there was a lot of weirdness in this, if Lu Jingtian and Yun Tong disappeared, and his mother-in-law disappeared, it would be incredible, what kind of realm and strength his mother-in-law was, he knew best.
Thinking of this, Shen Ling affirmed a conjecture in his heart, that is, the strong people above were involved, because only by thinking in this way can the past be explained.
Although he knew that the Great Cloud Sect was led by Su Zhen and the two factions in collusion, it was impossible to deal with his mother-in-law with their strength, and he must rely on the strength above to betray the Great Cloud Sect.
Shen Ling sighed secretly in his heart: "It seems that the road to the real challenge has just begun, once these strengths are involved, then this battle against himself will be even more crazy," which made it difficult for him to imagine.
At this time, Ji Shan reminded: "You have to be careful, this time the Great Cloud Sect was destroyed by Su Zhen in collusion with external forces, and the strong people above have already been invited to help behind it, and this is mainly an action against you and your mother-in-law." ”
After a pause, without waiting for Shen Ling to reply, he said again: "Your mother-in-law, Da Yunzong and the others must have disappeared because of the action of the people above, so you have to be prepared." ”
"What preparations?" Shen Ling hurriedly asked after hearing this.
"Do a good job, they use your dearest people to write your preparations," Ji Shan sighed.
Hearing Ji Shan say this, Shen Ling was silent and didn't speak for a long time, because Ji Shan thought the same as he thought, at least he thought that the strong man above had already taken action against his mother-in-law and Qingni in order to target him, which made him feel extremely guilty and self-blame in his heart, and when he thought that everyone was going to be implicated because of himself, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Shen Ling calmed down, took a deep breath, and then nodded towards Ji Shan: "What the national teacher reminds me is that I will pay attention to this." ”
At this time, Shen Ling seemed to think of something, so he asked Ji Shan about Qu Zhen'er again, and Shen Ling told him about the process of how Qu Zhen'er disappeared, of course, he was deeply involved in some of his secrets, and of course he also hid the past.
As soon as he heard that Qu Zhen'er was missing, Ji Shan's brows furrowed, his face showed a trace of solemnity, and after a while, he read in his mouth: "A black shadow, the body of the soul." ”
"Yes, it's a dark shadow, the body of the soul, does the national teacher know," Shen Ling asked eagerly.
"Yes, if the national teacher knows, please..." Before Liu Xuting finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ji Shan's answer.
Ji Shan shook his head and said, "Qu Zhen'er himself, I, Ji, have never seen it, as for the black shadow of a soul body you mentioned, the old man has never seen it, I think this matter is very strange, not simple." ”
"However, Qu Zhen'er, as the monarch of my Daxun country, it stands to reason that no one dares to hijack her, she is the daughter of the prince, maybe she has returned to Qu Mansion. ”
Although Ji Shan said that, he had already guessed something in his heart, and when he heard Shen Ling say that it was a black shadow who had been kidnapped by a soul body, he thought of who it was, and said in his heart: "Could it be that she is going to carry out some ulterior actions?"
The person Ji Shan guessed in his heart was Lan Xinlian, the leader of the Blood Saint Sect who had been lurking in Qu Zhen'er's body, because only he knew about this matter, and no one else knew about it, this was also a secret of the Blood Saint Sect, and it was also a secret that he didn't dare to make public, so even if he guessed it, it was impossible for him to tell Shen Ling and the others.
Gong Lao on the side was relieved to Shen Ling and the others, "Maybe the Great Cloud Sect was destroyed, and she had nowhere to go, so she went back to her own mansion, which is also completely possible, you have the opportunity to go to his mansion to investigate, maybe it is also a possibility." ”
"I hope so," Shen Ling just nodded, and said pessimistically, because he felt that the chance was very small, with his understanding of Qu Zhen'er, she was a person who cared about her friends very much, especially for herself, if there was nothing wrong with her, it was impossible for her not to show up.
After discussing Qu Zhen'er, Shen Ling discussed with Ji Shan and the other four for a while, and Ji Shan asked, "What's next?"
Before Shen Ling returned, Ji Shan said again: "For the sake of safety, you might as well go back to the Imperial City with me, under the nose of the Imperial City, they still don't dare to make a mistake, it just so happens that the army is about to set off in a few days, and you still have to adapt for a while." ”
As soon as he heard that the army was about to leave, Shen Ling's body was stunned, and then he immediately asked, "Could it be that Kangning Kingdom is at war?"
"Yes, now the border is already on the verge of breaking out, and the horse Zeng Jiuhe has led the army to the border, and the follow-up reinforcements are up to you," Ji Shan looked at Shen Ling calmly and said slowly.
Seeing that Shen Ling didn't say anything, Ji Shan said again: "This follow-up reinforcement force, it was initially decided that the people on the list must accompany them, but after this holy treasure exploration, there are few people left on the list, so the royal family has summoned a group of cultivators with good strength to join in, and when the time comes, it will let you unify the leadership, of course, the people on the list still have to accompany you." ”
After listening to Ji Shan's plan, Shen Ling entered into thought, his previous self had promised the royal family, as long as the country was in trouble, he Shen Ling would not hesitate to perform the duties of his countryman, but at the moment, his own affairs had not been dealt with, which made it difficult for him to make a choice.
One is a state affair, the other is a family affair, the state affair is the large-scale invasion of the Kangning Kingdom, the Daxun Kingdom is facing the threat of war, and the family affairs are the mother-in-law and Qingni are still missing, whether they are dead or alive are still unknown, which makes him very worried.
After a while, Shen Ling took a deep breath, and then said to Ji Shan: "Family affairs and state affairs are all major events, but at this moment, my mother-in-law and Qingni are still missing, life and death are uncertain, it's not that I, Shen Ling, am not patriotic, I just implore the national teacher to buy me three days in front of His Majesty, and after three days, I, Shen Ling, will lead the army to set off immediately." ”
Then he added: "Of course, three days is not absolute, if within three days, I find their whereabouts, then I will set off immediately, but even if I do not find their whereabouts in three days, then I will lead my troops to fulfill my original promise." ”
"Three days!"
"Once a war breaks out, you can't delay for half a minute, did you know?"
Ji Shan's face looked a little embarrassed, and he asked with a stern expression.
"How can you not know?"
"But there is a time when everything has priorities, and at this time, my weight is first on my relatives, a person who can even abandon his own relatives, how to talk about patriotism, and this is also the biggest concession I have made as a whole," Shen Ling said that he hated to death, and he was also showing Ji Shan that he had to be firm, which no one could change.
As soon as she heard Shen Ling say that, a person who can even abandon his own relatives, when talking about patriotism, Liu Xuting's eyes were deep, her beautiful eyes moved lightly, and a fascination rose in the depths of Shen Ling's heart, this sentence poured out the spirit of a real man, which made her extremely happy in her heart.
Seeing that Ji Shan didn't rush back to himself, he fell into silence, and seemed to be still thinking.
Shen Ling coughed lightly, and then changed his previous attitude and said: "Of course, if the royal family is unwilling or can't trust me Shen Ling, then this national soldier, I, Shen Ling, will resign, and you can appoint someone else." ”
In Shen Ling's view, being called a national warrior, although it sounds like a famous feeling, but it has no practical meaning for him, and now he can make such a concession, it is completely to fulfill the promise he made when he was in the palace at that time, if the royal family really wants to remove him as a national soldier for this reason, he has nothing to do, but it is also relaxed for a while.
Facing the firmness of Shen Ling's attitude, Ji Shan nodded, "Okay, that's right, a person who doesn't care about the land even his relatives can abandon, and how to talk about patriotism, just rushing to this sentence, I Ji Mou can be regarded as agreeing here." ”
After a pause, he muttered again: "But this matter is very important, I, Ji, must play Your Majesty, and this matter has to be decided by him," As he spoke, Ji Shan took out a golden wing from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Ling: "Contact with this thing, you can listen to it later." ”
Shen Ling took the golden wing, nodded, and then put the golden wing away.
After doing this, Ji Shan said: "Since you are looking for your relatives, then I will no longer force you to go to the imperial city, everything will wait until you find your mother-in-law, or three days later." ”
In the end, he said: "I was still worried before, I was afraid that these three factions would be unfavorable to you, but seeing that you just killed the Quartet and killed the people of the three factions with the strength of one person, I dispelled the worries in my heart, I didn't expect that your current strength has reached this level, but I hope you don't careless, because the strength above is also haunted by Daxun, in short, you two are the best," said Ji Shan and looked at Gong Lao and the three of them: "Let's go,"
After speaking, I saw his figure flying away in the air for a day, and the other two elders also flew up and followed closely.
Gong Lao also arched his hand towards Shen Ling and the others: "Take care of the two nephews, Gong has said goodbye," saying that, he also got up and jumped into the air and slid away.
In a few moments, the figures of several people disappeared.
There were only two people left in the entire light square, Shen Ling and Liu Suting, Liu Suting looked at Shen Ling, just looked at him like that, and her eyes were slowly full of appreciation, which made Shen Ling very puzzled, and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Liu Xuting smiled and said nothing, and only said after a while: "It's not much, what you just said is good, you will do better, senior sister is very happy." ”
