The Dragon and Phoenix Twin Cities are named after the Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. Only the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Cities can grow the Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. There is only one fruit at a time, but several immortality pills can be made.
The Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix are within the territory of Daqin, and the people from the Changsheng Sect did not dare to act rashly. They came here to report to the old emperor, hoping to get the support of the old emperor and let them lead people into the Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix.
The people from the Immortality Sect got the accurate information and left with satisfaction. Of course, they would not forget to leave a bottle of health-restoring pills for the old emperor.
For safety, Qin Jiyan could only take risks.
"A month and a half? So, after Ji Yan comes back, he only has less than ten days." The old emperor looked worried. He had managed to put on some meat some time ago, and he had lost weight rapidly in the past two days. Looks very old.
In the capital, the old emperor was sitting in the palace counting the days. He became irritable as he counted and asked the young eunuch beside him, "How long will it take for Ji Yan to come back?"
Compared with the official roads, these roads are really not that difficult to walk, and it is impossible for ordinary people to walk through them. In the first few days, Qin Jiyan was really worried. He wanted to carry Gu Qiancheng on his back for fear that she would get hurt.
As a last resort, the Eternal Life Sect had no choice but to take advantage of Da Qin, hoping that Da Qin would send someone to explore the way for them.
The Eternal Life Sect was afraid that Ni Yue would be in danger in the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Cities, so they wanted to take people in privately. However, the place in the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Cities was too evil. They sent several groups of people, but they died outside within two days.
He did hope that Gu Qiancheng would give him a child, but not now. At this time, neither he nor Gu Qiancheng had much energy to take care of the child.
"You have to hold her in your arms, you have to take good care of yourself." Qin Jiyan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Gu Qiancheng was not pregnant.
After two days, Gu Qiancheng's health recovered, and the group immediately speeded up. Gu Qiancheng and Tang Wajin had walked this road before, and the wooden boat they had hidden in a secret place was still there. Gu Qiancheng found it out with familiarity, which greatly saved time.
Regarding the longevity pill, the old emperor acted very quickly. He ordered the troops that afternoon. Early the next morning, an elite force of 5,000 people headed for the Shuangcheng ruins, with Nagato's people following behind.
Qin Jiyan was worried that Gu Qiancheng was pregnant and that traveling over mountains and ridges would be bad for Gu Qiancheng's health, so he had to choose to take the official path, which would at least be stable. Unexpectedly, King Zhao and King Zhou were too cruel, not giving Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng any time to rest, and wanted to kill them all the way.
"Go and find out how much money I have in my private treasury that can be converted into cash." The old emperor had withdrawn money from his private treasury before, but he could not support the next season's tax collection.
There were too few things that could be found in the ruins of the twin cities, so when Ni Yue and his party came outside the city, they were treated as food by the snakes. As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by pythons. Although they relied on snake meat and snake blood, they could temporarily We had enough food and clothing, but we also fell into endless fighting...
Facing the nervous Qin Jiyan, Gu Qiancheng had no choice but to let him go. Fortunately, five days later, Gu Qiancheng was finally sure that she was not pregnant.
"I didn't ask you to choose something valuable to deal with. You can cash it out so that others can't recognize it. Those things on the left and right will just gather dust in the private treasury." The old emperor didn't pay much attention to the things in his private treasury.
"I believe him. It's just that he is causing trouble and cannot be negligent." The old emperor placed his hope on Qin Jiyan, but he was also worried that Qin Jiyan would not be able to handle it.
At this time, Ni Yue and his party, who were trapped in the abandoned city, finally walked out of the abandoned city by chance and came to the Snake Forest. However, their good luck seemed to have run out...
Gu Qiancheng rolled his eyes at Qin Jiyan and ignored him...
It's not that I don't want children, it's just that now is really not the right time. She didn't want to get pregnant out of wedlock, and she didn't want to have a baby at this time, which was too inconvenient.
The people from the Eternal Life Sect came here just to report the good news, that is, they had found the legendary Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix, and were expected to obtain the most important medicine in the Eternal Life Formula—Dragon and Phoenix Fruit.
Qin Jiyan's meaning is very simple. The time is too short, and Gu Qiancheng may not be able to accurately grasp the pulse. Something will really happen by then. Injury to the child is a small matter, but physical damage is a big deal.
With such a big thing happening, it was impossible for the old emperor to eat and sleep well. If it's not good, it will be a stain on his imperial career. It is even possible that he will become the last emperor of Qin.
When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, "Xuan!"
When Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng were there, all the snakes in the snake forest were entangled in the trees and unable to get down, as if they were one with the trees. But when Ni Yue and others came over, the snakes in the tree were not controlled. They could leave the tree freely and wander around. They were not even affected by the special substances in the soil and could go anywhere.
Not only the snakes in the trees, but also the snakes in the snake dens are not like before, staying contentedly behind the snake forest and wandering around in search of food.
"When we return to the emperor, the imperial envoy who went earliest arrived in the northwest in just two days. Your Highness is rushing back as fast as possible. It will take a month and a half no matter how fast." The confidant eunuch is an insider and knows why the old emperor is worried. , but he really can't help with this kind of thing.
Gu Qiancheng knew what Qin Jiyan was worried about. She told Qin Jiyan several times that she was not pregnant, but Qin Jiyan didn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is wise and mighty, and he will definitely be able to relieve His Majesty's worries." The nice words were free of charge, and the confidant eunuch looked like I admired the Emperor's grandson very much.
If Qin Jiyan couldn't bear it, he would be the unlucky one.
"Now, you can stop holding me like a crystal, right? I'm not that fragile." After confirming that there was no child, Gu Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the old emperor lives, it will be convenient for them to do things within the territory of Daqin. If Qin Jiyan takes over, they, the Immortal Sect, will not be able to get any benefits.
Of course, the statement about the Immortality Sect is 70% true and 30% false. They had discovered the Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix a long time ago. Ni Yue, the saint of the Eternal Life Sect, led people into the ruins of the Twin Cities a month ago, but no news about Ni Yue came out.
Not long after the confidant eunuch left, someone came to report that he was from the Eternal Life Sect and wanted to see him.
"Slave, I obey." The confidant eunuch did not dare to persuade him any more and bowed down.
He didn't know how many years he could live. There were so many things in his private treasury, and he couldn't use them all for burial. Besides, he won't die for a while, and he can find good things again.
Under the leadership of Gu Qiancheng, Qin Jiyan took some secret guards and soldiers and began to travel across mountains and rivers.
After hearing the news about the dragon and phoenix fruit, the old emperor immediately ordered people to dig up the ruins of the twin cities.
"Pfft..." The confidant eunuch knelt down straight, "Your Majesty, those are the private collection of the royal family, and every one of them is a treasure."
Although the old emperor knew that his end was approaching, he was still very moved when he heard about the Immortality Pill. The Immortality Pill cannot make people immortal, but it can make people live longer. To get a pill of longevity, the old emperor can live for at least ten more years. .
