Even shouted a few times but no one answered. Jing Hengbo felt a little humiliated, did she make a mistake, the first and second she chose didn't even answer the call, so what about Mao Kao?
If you don't come, you won't come, and if you wait, you will only feel embarrassed. She was about to order the end of the competition to sail back to the shore, when someone laughed and said, "I've seen Your Majesty in Xiafengwei."
Jing Hengbo raised his head, and saw someone under the shadow of a tree in the distance, smiling and bending slightly towards her.
So far away, the other party is in the dark again, can't see his face clearly, only feel the romantic mood.
Most of the wits are flirtatious, and she has no interest in it. She felt that this guy didn't respond at first, but now he came out to talk, and he was probably a sensationalist pretender, so she just lazily said "um", and said, "You can figure it out." .”
"I'm here to receive the reward," said the person who called himself Fengwei with a smile, "I want to know what your majesty can promise."
"You have to look at the rewards before deciding whether to belong to me?" She squinted at him.
Feng Wei smiled without saying a word, actually acquiescing.
The common people and scholars all stared at him, they didn't expect that the tortoiseshell scholar had been treated like this, and someone would dare to take Joe like this.
"I promised, you can put forward the conditions yourself." Jing Hengbo said, "It makes sense, I can do it."
She doesn't think this guy will ask to be a national teacher or something, right? Wouldn't it belong to the enemy, asking her to commit suicide? Quickly add a sentence that makes sense.
Feng Wei's laughter sounded very casual.
"Small things." He said calmly, "I heard that His Majesty is good at dancing. No matter where you are, you can dance at any time. I just regret that I don't have the chance to see it. I wonder if I have this blessing?"
The people roared and became excited again.
The queen is good at dancing, although they have never heard of it, but the queen is a beauty, but everyone is not blind, and the queen's figure, at first glance, looks like a wonderful dancer. When the people think of such a beauty, such a figure, such a beautiful dress, dancing under the moon must be a peerless dance that cannot be imagined.
The blood of the common people boiled, but Jing Hengbo frowned—what do you mean?
Zirui beside her said angrily: "Where is the lunatic who dares to humiliate His Majesty? What is His Majesty's status, how can he perform a dance in public? Is this treating His Majesty as a singer?" While getting angry, she walked towards the stern, thinking To see that disciple clearly.
Jing Hengbo is a modern person with an unrestrained personality and loves to show off. She didn't think there was anything wrong with performing dances in public. Now that Zirui said it, she suddenly understood the difference in understanding between modern and ancient times. It was a bit inappropriate to think so.
But the other party didn't feel malicious to her, she greeted Zirui not to curse, while thinking about how to reply, before she could speak, she suddenly heard another voice from the river, "Wei Yin, I have seen Your Majesty."
The voice came from a small boat, but no one was seen. Even more hypocritical than the one just now.
Jing Hengbo let out a puff, thinking to himself what does this mean? When I was looking for someone, I didn't see any of them, but now they all pop up, so there won't be another one asking her to sing, right?
She is happy to sing, singing crazy one by one.
"Hehe." She laughed, "What are you doing now? Is there a request? Only when the request is met will you show up?"
She hinted at the sarcasm, the other party was silent, and then said: "Yes."
Jing Hengbo almost laughed angrily.
The other party was very calm, as if she couldn't feel her emotions at all, and said: "My request is: Please Your Majesty never perform dances to others."
Jing Hengbo: "..."
Is this for demolition?
Pei Shu on the boat said loudly: "What's the matter with you two? You are talking nonsense! Your Majesty will not perform dances here, but Your Majesty can perform dances in..."
Before the word "I" could be uttered, he was left and right by Ying Baitian, and dragged down with his arms around his neck. Yingbai held up the flagon and said, "Drink, drink!"
Jing Hengbo glanced at the three of them, thinking that Ying Baitian gave up on the matter of attacking Pei Shu, and his stand was surprisingly unanimous, what happened to Pei Shu and them?
The Fengwei in front immediately smiled and said: "Oh, I was being rude, but it is your majesty's freedom to dance for yourself or others. Speaking of which, Brother Wei, you are also being rude."
Wei Yin said with no ups and downs in his voice: "That's right. Then I invite the queen, and I don't want to present you with a dance."
Jing Hengbo held his chin and stopped talking. These two people came to tear each other down. Identification is completed.
"Or I can change my request." Feng Wei's temperament seemed to be easy to talk, and he was not angry at Wei Yin's targeting, but only said to Jing Hengbo, "Your Majesty, please have dinner with me."
Jing Hengbo didn't speak, just glanced at Wei Yin with a smile.
Sure enough, Wei Yin said: "Your Majesty, please cherish the jade body. The tortoiseshell turmoil has not calmed down, and there are many enemies around. In the future, there must be assassination methods against Your Majesty. Please, Your Majesty, do not get close to anyone of unknown origin."
Jing Hengbo smiled, his eight teeth were sharp and sharp, like a fox seeing something interesting.
"Then," Feng Wei seemed to be gentle, "or ask Your Majesty to copy a poem for me. Just the song Hongsu is fine. This request is not dangerous, and if you don't come close, Your Majesty will not even make such a small You don’t even agree to small requests, do you?”
Jing Hengbo raised his chin and nodded to Wei Yin—this guy is not finished yet.
She really wanted to know what Wei Yin said this time. Feng Wei's request is not excessive at all.
The people were sleepy and wanted to leave, but now they were interested, they all stopped, their eyes gleamed with gossip—it looked like it was a fight between the wind and the wind!
Wei Yin said: "When a person gives a poem to a man, a bird's poem is naturally given to a bird. This poem is written by a bird, and there is no reason why no one should copy a bird's poem and give it to a person. Your Majesty, please don't accept any insults from people whose origins are unknown, and please don't, brother Feng." Insult yourself."
Jing Hengbo was drinking water, and sprayed it on Yongxue with a puff.
Such a poisonous mouth! Does he have the poison needle function?
Er Gouzi struggled to get his head out, raised his paw, pointed at the boat and cursed: "What's wrong with the bird? What's the matter with the bird? How dare you look down on me? Make a song and see!"
Wei Yin said: "Could it be that your majesty made this word?"
"Of course not." Jing Hengbo immediately denied.
The people below burst out laughing, this time it was really amazing, although everyone knew that it was His Majesty's poem, but His Majesty had to give it to the bird.
Such is the inertia of human thinking. The more Jing Hengbo refused to admit it, the more the big guy blamed her.
Feng Wei was still smiling under the tree, and said to Er Gouzi: "Master Dog is so talented and admirable. Brother Wei is also so talented that I admire him even more. So I would like to ask Mr. Dog to recite a poem, borrow flowers and present Buddha, and donate it to you. Brother Wei, Lord Dog please agree."
"Okay, okay." Er Gouzi, a hero who has a place to play, immediately said triumphantly, "Two orioles sing..."
Jing Hengbo slapped it down.
She was not afraid of Wei Yin's embarrassment, but rather that Er Gouzi would be unlucky.
The popping laughter of the common people has turned into a big laugh—Wei Yinjue, and Feng Wei did not give in. This reply was aimed at Wei Yin's "bird words to give a bird", directly calling Wei Yin a bird.
Wei Yin didn't seem to be angry either, and said in a calm tone, "Since there are two orioles, brother Feng must also have a share, and everyone will enjoy it."
"Rewards for all." Feng Wei also laughed. He was really self-restraining, he didn't seem interested in bickering with Wei Yin, so he changed his request again, saying: "Then, please allow me, Your Majesty, if I do something wrong in the future, please forgive me once."
This time everyone looked at the boat. I thought I couldn't refute it this time, right?
There was silence in the boat, and the voice that came out was still so unhurried, "I have also thought about my request. Please allow me, Your Majesty, as long as I do not betray Your Majesty, please always trust and support me."
At first hearing, it seems that these words are not aimed at Feng Wei, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that they are still aimed at—if Feng Wei does something wrong, according to his request, Jing Hengbo can forgive him once, but according to Wei Yin's request, if he objects Forgive, Jing Hengbo cannot forgive Feng Wei.
There are often a few old men in the crowd, whispering.
"Two formidable young men. They are good at eloquence, and both of them are good enough to be first-class military advisers."
"Look at the old man, these two people don't seem to be making demands at all, but they seem to be fighting on purpose. They want to show their talents in front of the queen and compete."
"This old man doesn't think so. The ranking has already been divided. According to the order of the queen's registration, Wei Yin is ahead of Feng Wei. Even if he wanted to fight, it should be Feng Wei who was not convinced and deliberately raised an argument with Wei Yin, but now it's the other way around. And although only Hearing his voice, these two people have a graceful bearing, they are absolutely extraordinary, and they don't seem to be boring and arguing, I'm afraid there is another deep meaning here."
"The old man agrees with Qu Lao. These two people are definitely not simple characters, so let's just watch."
…
Feng Wei seemed to want to say something again, but Jing Hengbo couldn't bear it anymore.
When will these two have to fight?
She still wants to go home and sleep!
"I'm sure! I'm sure!" She waved her hand and yawned, "Do you want to..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a "plop".
The voice was very soft, and it came from the other side of the boat, that is, the side facing the river.
Jing Hengbo's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She turned her head, glanced quickly at the crowd beside her, and immediately asked, "Where's Zirui?"
Just now Zi Rui went to the stern to see Feng Wei, but she never came back.
Jing Hengbo's figure flashed, and he had already rushed to the stern of the ship, Zirui was not there, she asked a guard guarding at the stern, the guard pointed to the back of the spiral ladder, and said: "This subordinate saw Miss Zirui go there."
That location was in a blind spot, with its back facing everyone on the river bank, and Jing Hengbo blocked the side facing the river for safety, all the boats and people were on the opposite side of her, and it was impossible for anyone to see or go to her the back of the boat.
The back of her boat was also guarded, but there was no Zirui, Jing Hengbo asked the guard, and the guard said: "I didn't see Miss Zirui coming."
"You've been here all this time?" Jing Hengbo asked, "Have you ever left?"
"No. But before I picked up the scattered arrows on the boat, I squatted down to pick them up."
Jing Hengbo didn't know well. Looking at the river, she supposedly rushed over when she heard a plop. If the other party took Zirui and swam away, there should be bubbles or tracks on the water surface, but the river is calm now.
Then it is very possible that Zirui was thrown off the boat earlier, and that thud was another sound. Or a reminder to her.
At this time, the rest of the people also came, and their faces were not very good-looking. On the ship where the masters gathered, one of his own people was actually taken away.
It's just that everyone's attention was on the shore at that time, there were too many people, and they were afraid that an assassin would jump out of nowhere, and with the river behind them, there was no one for dozens of miles, and the people on the boat were all facing the river bank, so they relaxed. Be vigilant at the back, who knew that Zirui would actually go to the back.
Tian Qi asked: "Do you want to search the people?" Ying Bai immediately said: "There are so many people on the shore, once they stop people from searching, I'm afraid it will cause chaos, at least it will cause complaints."
Jing Hengbo's thoughts flashed, and he immediately understood the intention of the other party to kidnap Zirui. On the one hand, kidnapping people to threaten her can also cause riots and destroy the people's newly established admiration and affection for her—no one of her own can defend her. live, but also disturb the people.
This group of people is also quite tolerant. Before the battle against Lingxiaomen, the good time when the rain of arrows was flying did not make a move. Later, Jing Hengbo commented on the article, and when dealing with the assassins, he did not make a move when it was a chaotic time. , when everyone naturally relaxed their vigilance, they succeeded in one blow.
The other party is a powerful person, and he knows that kidnapping a person close to the queen will make the queen lose her prestige or be passive more than holding scholars and people as hostages.
Jing Hengbo even suspected that Chi Ming had already made a wedding dress for the other party. At the beginning of the engagement between Chi Ming and her, he was obviously confident, so where did his confidence come from? Later, I lost very quickly, as if I was not prepared enough.
It's not guaranteed that he will be scolded by others.
But who this group of people will be, I really can't figure it out, she is now in the tortoise shell, it can be said that there are enemies on all sides, the Sixteen Gang, the head of the tortoise shell clan, anyone may attack her. Maybe you can add a Nine Heavens Gate.
Everyone was watching her, waiting for her to decide whether to stop the people for inspection.
Although she has not officially become the Queen of Blackwater, the people around her are all good people, and they have naturally treated her as a queen and established her authority. She used to worry about how to carry out class stratification when she was a friend all the way. If there is no distinction, the queen will lose her authority. She is too embarrassed to talk about it. If she doesn't want these people, she will separate naturally without her hinting. Class, even Pei Shu, would not speak indiscriminately when encountering important matters.
It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, most of them are people who have rolled in officialdom, how could they not understand.
Jing Hengbo didn't speak immediately, she ordered someone to invite Erlu, who was patrolling the shore, to stare at the water, as if waiting.
No one urged her to make a quick decision, they were all waiting silently.
After a while, Jing Hengbo saw that the water surface began to bubble, and a large group of whitebait suddenly appeared under the water. They turned a few times at first, and then lined up into an arrow shape, shooting straight to a certain direction in the center of the river.
"How?" Jing Hengbo asked Erlu.
"You can't understand such an obvious animal language?" Erlu rolled his eyes, "Go in the direction of the arrow."
Jing Hengbo immediately said: "People don't leave the shore, evacuate the crowd, and block the news."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they can be sure that the assassin and Zirui will not hide among the people, at least there is no need to intercept the people and cause riots.
Speaking of it, it is the most possible for the assassin to take Zirui to walk from the heart of the river. It is too difficult to take a person across the river under their noses, and then mix with the people to leave.
"How do you know they left the water?" Tian Qi asked strangely.
"Zirui has learned the art of controlling animals." Jing Hengbo said simply, "She can control fish, insects, birds and beasts, and do some simple movements. These fish should be driven by her, which shows that she has not completely lost her freedom, and her mind is not too far away. wide awake."
Zirui learned how to control beasts from He Erlu. She is born with supernatural hearing, and the essence of controlling beasts is to capture and use various sounds that ordinary people cannot hear in the world to control beasts. So she gave full play to her strengths and learned how to control beasts. This is also the means of self-protection in times of distress that one must first learn as a queen's female officer.
The people on the shore began to leave, they didn't know what happened on the ship, they talked excitedly while going home, Seven Kills led the guards with burning eyes, and sure enough, they didn't find anyone suspicious.
Jing Hengbo kept the ten selected scholars behind, and she felt that these people might not be suspicious, especially Wei Yin and Feng Wei.
The scholars boarded the boat, but there was no Feng Wei and Wei Yin. Jing Hengbo ordered people to look for them, but they couldn't find them. Feng Wei should have mixed in with the common people and left, and Wei Yin's boat should have been registered in the first place. Can't find it on the record.
Neither of them showed their true faces, and there was no way to find them at this time, Jing Hengbo snorted and said, "Sure enough, they are spies!"
"Not necessarily." Ying Bai said, "At least when Zirui was taken captive, they were talking to you, and there was no way they would make a move."
"Zirui was taken away when I was talking to them. These two people deliberately raised the bar and made those weird demands, just to attract our attention and create opportunities for the enemy." Jing Hengbo insisted on his own opinion. .
Yingbai stopped talking and took a sip of wine indifferently.
Jing Hengbo had no intention of meeting the remaining eight people at the moment, and was about to let someone arrange a rest, when suddenly a figure stepped forward and said softly, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, but what happened?"
When Jing Hengbo saw the figure, he recognized him as Chai Yu. Looking at this person closely, he was indeed very fat, with layers of belly fat and many brown spots on his face. Fortunately, although he was ugly , but behaved elegantly, spoke softly, and bowed to Jing Hengchang: "Perhaps I can help."
"How did you know something happened?" Jing Hengbo was slightly wary.
Chai Yu said with a smile: "It seems that there is one person missing on the boat."
Jing Hengbo was secretly surprised that this person is careful, there are many people on board, and there are many guards, who has nothing to do to count the number?
Jing Hengbo nodded, and said, "My lady officer is missing, she seems to have been kidnapped from underwater."
"That may be in the direction of Jiangxin Island." Chai Yu thought for a while, and said, "There are many small islands in Jiangxin where people can hide. The largest island also gathered a group of water pirates, which may be related to these people."
"You are from Xianqiao, why are you so familiar with the situation in Ningjin?" Jing Hengbo asked calmly, as if asking casually.
"My ancestral home is Xianqiao, but I have lived in Ningjin for ten years." Chai Yu replied naturally, "I like to read by water on weekdays, and I am very familiar with Qujiang."
"Then trouble you to lead the way." Jing Hengbo smiled.
"You should do it yourself." Chai Yu didn't give in.
As the boat sailed towards the center of the river, Jing Hengbo talked with Chai Yu while paying close attention to the water. It turns out that this person is really ugly. He is knowledgeable, familiar with the local customs and customs, not to mention the key character, he speaks softly, is not in a hurry, is considerate and delicate, and when talking with him, it is easy to forget his flaws in appearance, like a spring breeze.
In fact, Jing Hengbo looked carefully, and felt that his obesity seemed to be unsolvable. It depended on whether it was physiological or pathological. After thinking about it, he smiled and suggested to the other party to exercise more and not always remember to read.
Chai Yu is so smart, he naturally heard the voice, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Wansheng is so fat, it's not because of too little exercise. Originally, Wansheng was also thin, but it's a pity that after... having an illness, he lost his weight." I suddenly gained weight, and after trying my best, I couldn't lose weight, and I also developed many spots..." After speaking, he smiled slightly.
Jing Hengbo looked at his smile, although he tried his best to be open-minded, it was unavoidably bitter, so he knew that this was his sore spot, and said with a casual smile, "Sickness and childbirth can easily lead to..."
Chai Yu suddenly trembled beside him, Jing Hengbo immediately became alert, stopped and looked at him, but saw Chai Yu pointing ahead, saying: "Here we are."
There was a sandbar in front of it, and big ships could not approach it. Jing Hengbo ordered people to row a small boat down, and Quan Ninghao led his people up first, and quickly sent out a signal that there was no one on the island.
Jing Hengbo went to the sandbar as before, and Quan Ninghao presented a found hairpin, which was exactly what Zirui wore on her head, but this could only prove that Zirui had indeed stayed here, but it could not indicate that she was taken captive. Where, walking forward from this sandbar, you can reach several counties downstream.
After Jing Hengbo landed, he only looked at the ground. I saw a brood of wild duck eggs laying on the bank near the water.
Wild ducks will lay their eggs in sand pits, but the possibility of falling into the water is very small. Jing Hengbo noticed that one of the eggs had been broken, and she ordered: "Search on the beach to see if there is anything special."
Quan Ninghao led people to search carefully on the beach, and after a while he brought a bunch of things, and said: "This bunch of sand is a bit special."
Jing Hengbo held it in his hand, and found that it was a ball of sand glued with egg yolk. Sure enough, Zirui summoned wild ducks to lay eggs by the water, and made this ball of sand with egg yolk. , Knowing Zirui's ability, she will notice the abnormality of the duck eggs laid by the water.
The shape of the sand ball seemed a bit strange. She opened the sand ball, thinking that there should be something inside, indicating her next step, but who knew that the sand ball was just a sand ball, and there was nothing inside.
"What's going on?" Jing Hengbo was also stunned.
Chai Yu suddenly said: "The sand ball just now seems to have been squeezed into some shape..."
Jing Hengbo was startled, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Turtle!"
The sand ball is flat and round, with four small corners pinched out, not like a turtle.
"Shangyuan City!"
Jing Hengbo stood up and looked at Shangyuan City surrounded by high walls from afar.
The moment she knew it was Shangyuan City, she finally let go of her heart. She was afraid that if she met members of the Sixteen Gang, those reckless men who had suffered setbacks might be rude to Zirui, but Ming Yan'an, the head of the tortoiseshell clan, would not.
With the Sixteenth Gang looking at it like a tiger, he chose to besiege the city and stick to it, which shows that this person has a cautious personality. He has been guarding for so many years without being invaded, which shows that this person is not completely incompetent. This kind of person kidnapped Zirui more likely for self-protection, and it was a warning against her rhetoric of "getting up the Yuan within a year".
He's testing her, suggesting to her that I'm still capable of fighting you, you'd better sit down and talk to me.
Jing Hengbo smiled. In fact, she was planning to have a good talk with the tortoiseshell patriarch. If she offended the Sixteen Gang, she would no longer be a sworn enemy with the tortoiseshell patriarch. In fact, her original idea was similar to that of the tortoiseshell patriarch. Show the other party your own strength, and then you will have the possibility to sit down and negotiate on an equal footing.
But now, she wasn't going to talk calmly.
Anyone who dares to kidnap her and threaten her?
Then let's fight.
She casually tore off a piece of silk cloth, and wrote two big shit-yellow characters with duck egg yolk: "Let me go!"
"Abandoned by heaven," she said, "I trouble you to go to Shangyuan City immediately and shoot this letter inside."
Tianqi, the best in Qinggong, left in a small boat. Jing Hengbo waved his hand, "Go home and sleep!"
"Stop chasing?" Yongxue opened her eyes wide.
Jing Hengbo smiled and stretched his waist, "There's no need to chase after him, it's my business."
…
When the big white boat arrived at the shore, most of the people on the shore had already left.
However, under the shadow of a clump of trees, two figures stood in the distance, watching Jing Hengbo and others disembark from the boat.
"Sir." Xian Yuqing asked a little puzzled, "The Queen's lady was taken captive, aren't you going to help find someone?"
"It doesn't matter." Yeluqi smiled, "The other party will not do anything to Miss Zirui, she just wants to test His Majesty's ability and take the initiative." He paused, his gaze softly glanced at Jing Hengbo, "Really It's His Majesty who is in trouble."
"Then let's..."
"We just made a mistake." Yeluqi touched his nose and said helplessly, "I just changed my name to Fengwei and jumped out to make such a scene, and Miss Su was captured. Your Majesty must be suspecting that Fengwei and Wei Yin are enemies. Spy. This kidnapper is a master. He didn’t make a move at so many good times, but he managed it at that time. If he made a move during the chaos before, whoever and I would definitely find out, but when we bickered, the two of us Attention is also on the big boat, not paying attention to the back of the boat... the master."
Xian Yuqing seldom heard him comment on a person like this, and he even called him a master twice in a row. Looking at him under the shadow of the moon, he had a rare dignified expression, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and asked, "But Ming Yan'an, the head of the tortoiseshell clan?"
"It's his part, but he shouldn't be the one who made the move." Yeluqi pondered, "The person who made the move seems to be able to sense the danger and avoid it. Ming Yan'an can't do this. I'm even worried..." He Frowning slightly, "This person knows the identities of me and...that person."
Xian Yuqing frowned, he knew that the identity mentioned here was the real identity of the master, which was really not good news.
As for the "he" in the master's mouth, he knew it was the guy pretending to be Mr. Mu, but he didn't know who this person was. under.
In this great wilderness, how many people are there whose true identities are above their masters...
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and felt ridiculous.
How can it be…
"How can there be such a person in the tortoise shell..." Yeluqi looked solemn, thought for a while, and smiled, "Xianyu, bring the mask."
Xian Yu took out the silver mask according to his words, put on the green clothes that Mr. Mu often wore, and said, "Are you going to see the Queen?"
Yeluqi changed into clothes, smiled and said nothing.
Xian Yuqing sighed a little and said: "The queen is going to be dizzy again... She first met the fake Shalei Shengyu that day, and then saw you appear. At that time, my subordinates felt that her eyes were confused."
"Confusion?" Yeluqi stopped his hand and smiled, "I think she is sharp, and she is getting more and more sharp. Mr. Mu just changed, and she noticed something was wrong. Now it seems that that guy robbed me. The character really has the foresight.”
"What foresight?" Xian Yuqing asked in a daze, not knowing what to understand.
"He knows that it's getting harder and harder to hide. No matter how casually you pretend to be anyone, she will determine it. The only way to grab an existing important role is to change the person as soon as she confirms it. She will doubt herself. So three After all, in the process of switching back and forth, she will get dizzy in all kinds of familiar and strange feelings, and she will no longer believe in her own feelings..." He smiled wryly, "He just wanted to disturb her..."
Although Xian Yuqing didn't know the ins and outs, he was dumbfounded and said, "Why bother!"
"As long as he doesn't want her to know, there is always a way to keep her from knowing." Yeluqi sighed, "All the troubles in this world are because the first ones suffer the most, and then the later ones. There is nothing to do."
…
A small boat left the sandbar leisurely.
He stood on the boat, looking at the distant shadow of the big white boat gradually disappearing in the distance, his brows were calm.
The guards waited silently, not daring to ask casually - just now the master clearly arrived at the sandbar one step earlier, and saw Officer Su being kidnapped, and didn't know why, but he didn't make a move.
The master is very dignified, and the guards never dare to ask or question casually, everything just needs to be explained.
"Is our new lodging arranged?" he asked.
"Yes." The guard said respectfully, "According to your instructions, a few people have been left in the important areas of the tortoise shell, and a place to stay has been arranged."
"Not only the tortoiseshell, but also the tribes that are close to the tortoiseshell must be arranged. People from the snow-capped mountains must spend a lot of time and energy looking for it."
"Yes, we also arranged a lot of people who are similar in stature to you, and they will show up when necessary to confuse the line of sight." The guard answered, after all, he was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but said, "Dige, you really don't want to go back what..."
"No need." He said lightly, "If I rush back at this time and fall into the eyes of someone with a heart, I can really be sure that I am in Tortoiseshell, and that Dige is a fake."
The guard thinks about it, that's the reason. Now that there is something wrong with Dige, it may cause people from the snow mountain to chase after the tortoise, but it is not certain. If the master rushes back at this time, it will be easy to show his whereabouts and not tell himself. .
However, if someone from Snow Mountain cannot be found for a while, they will suspect that their judgment is wrong and give up their original ideas.
But is the master really not worried about Di Ge's troubles? In any case, to give such an important position to a Xibei...
However, the master's Sacred Heart silently judged, and he has no right to question it.
"Then let's..." the guard wanted to say, with so many illusions prepared, where are we going to hide during this time?
He saw the guard's question, slightly bent his lips, and turned his head.
The guard then turned his gaze, and saw the high-walled urn city, with no information, closed to the outside world, like an iron barrel, the palace city of Shangyuan.
…
Shangyuan Palace.
Although it was already night, the palace was still brightly lit. Ming Yan'an, the leader of the tortoise shell clan, was still sitting in the study with the door open, and there were constant guards delivering the latest news from Ningjin County.
In the battle of Qujiang, he snorted coldly: "Arrogance!" He didn't know who to say.
When Chi Mingzhi was defeated, he let out a faint "Huh", as if he couldn't figure out something.
The queen made a topic "Capturing Shangyuan." He sneered, as if he was too lazy to comment, and he couldn't help laughing when the guards reported those "tricks".
"Divine Bird" wrote a poem, he raised his eyebrows, seemed to find it unbelievable, thought for a while and then snorted, "Parrot learns tongue!"
When he finally reported the list of winning scholars, he was obviously very concerned, but after learning the result, his face was not hesitant, and he tapped his knuckles on the table, seemingly dissatisfied. Only slightly better.
A guard outside reported: "My lord, the man has brought it."
He got up, went out the door, and saw a few cloaked figures floating like dark clouds in the night, carrying a young girl with them.
Ming Yan'an's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't know who the other party was, but the other party contacted him and offered to help him, anyway, he didn't need to contribute, so he agreed.
I didn't have much hope, I didn't expect that those people really captured the people around the queen.
"Thank you, everyone, for your hard work." He went up to meet him personally, and was about to invite a few people in to talk, when the leading man in the black cloak said in a low voice, "My lord, we brought you here, we and you are not on the same path after all. Yes, you don’t have to be polite. Let’s say goodbye, and we will meet later.”
"Everyone, please stay here for now!" Ming Yan'an hurriedly said, "Xiao Wang doesn't ask about your identities, but I have accepted your love and received nothing in return, and Xiao Wang is also very sorry. Please also leave a message. , Xiao Wang will not be stingy."
"When we said we wanted to help you, we said that we didn't need anything in return, and we didn't need to make contact with you." The black cloak said humanely, "If your majesty feels uneasy about this, I will tell you that although we are not the same way, we have Our common enemy, helping you is also helping ourselves, please make good use of this opportunity." He smiled again, "Maybe we will meet again in the future, and we will naturally ask Your Majesty for help."
Having said that, there was still something he didn't understand, Ming Yan'an was certain in his heart, and clasped his fists to send him off, "That's it, thank you."
Seeing those people leave without saying a word, he glanced at the dripping Zirui again, and said: "Place Miss Zirui in a safe place, don't neglect her."
Zirui was also calm, and walked away obediently without saying a word.
Ming Yan'an looked at her back, and sighed in his heart - who said that the queen is a mob, and I am unbearably rough? Just a female officer next to the queen, she is not surprised by favor or humiliation, and her bearing is extraordinary. With such an attendant, how could the queen be so different?
As soon as the people on this side were settled, the guards on the other side came to report: "There is a Queen's messenger in front of the city gate, shooting arrows to deliver the message."
Ming Yan'an's eyebrows twitched, and he said in surprise: "It's so fast!"
He knew that the queen could guess the whereabouts of the female officer, but he didn't expect it so soon.
The solemn look in Ming Yan'an's eyes grew stronger, and when he unfolded the letter, he was almost vomited out by the ecstasy color and smell, "...This...What kind of ink is this..."
Looking at the paper again, there is no title or signature, it is crumpled and dirty, and the two ugly words "Let me go!"
Ming Yan'an's face was livid, and he crumpled the paper suddenly, "Arrogance!"
After gathering his mind, he had no choice but to go back to the study and order someone to serve him with pen and ink.
Jing Hengbo doesn't want face, he has to save face, and he really can't do things like duck egg yolk writing letters.
He also wanted to write a few fewer words to show a bit of a domineering air, but unfortunately his character was destined, so after a long time of deliberation, he still wrote in a well-behaved way: "Your Majesty is Yingrui, the little king admires him so much, and he specially prepares wine and delicacies for him. Your Majesty, dare to enter Shangyuan alone, and you and I will drink together under the moon?"
When it's over, people also shoot arrows and reply.
He sat in the study for a long while, feeling like a mess in his heart, and said for a long time: "Come here, move the palace for Mr. Yue to Yuehua Palace."
The attendant showed a slightly shocked expression, bowed and retreated.
He asked again: "Is that person over at Dongheishui dead?"
The area of Heishuize is extremely huge. According to their location close to Heishuize, the hawksbill residents are divided into Heishuize in the southeast and northwest.
A few days ago, Dongheishui broke into a group of people. When this incident was reported to Ming Yan'an's desk, he was very shocked.
Because it is very difficult to enter Heishuize under the heavy guards of the tortoiseshell army, and when this group of people were discovered, they were already in Heishuize. How did they get in?
Ming Yan'an thought that there were traitors in his army, or that there was a loophole in defense, but after a thorough investigation, he found that there was no problem.
The army is fine, but the problem is the pedestrian who entered Heishuize. It is said that he is not a man from the wilderness. Stayed there for two days.
When Ming Yan'an heard that he stayed for two days and was an outsider, he immediately felt relieved. If it is not close to Heishuize for a long time and develop antibodies, it is very difficult for outsiders to survive. Even if they have not encountered any beasts at the edge of Heishuize, they will die within three days.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that pedestrian, and it seemed that it had been five days, so he asked this question.
But when he asked casually, the subordinate actually said: "Maybe he is not dead yet, because just this morning, the defenders heard the roar of ferocious beasts in the depths of the Black Water Lake."
Ming Yanan was very surprised,
