At first, the city lord thought that the Yeluo people were fooling him with fruit cores, but when he saw the two empty bottles, he felt that it might not be what he thought. If he wanted to fool him, it would be good to put something in it, anyway, I have never seen the real Qiongye Yulu, but I sent two empty bottles, which is obviously not what the Yeluo people planned.
The Yeluo people's surprise and panic were definitely not feigned, but so what
He didn't care about the difficulties and the process, he only cared about the result, and the result was that the two fruits and Yulu Qiongjiu that were supposed to be obtained disappeared.
The sky crystal is originally used to add flowers, but if the brocade is gone, where and how will the flowers be added
The city lord is very angry, no matter what the other party explains, he won't listen, what a joke, he is the city lord, not a charity, what negligence do you care
"General Shen, see off the guests!"
The city lord issued the eviction order without hesitation.
A guard came in and whispered a few words in Cangjiu's ear. Cangjiu said to the queen, "We found Ji Mingxiu and Mrs. Qiao. They have entered the city. We have to leave as soon as possible."
The queen raised her hand calmly, looked at the city lord and said: "How can the city lord let us go out of the city, please tell me? But I will never be stingy with anything I can afford."
The city lord lazily leaned back on the chair, rubbed his chin, and his eyes flashed with elite waves.
General Shen stepped forward and said something in a low voice, the city lord twitched his lips: "Who is sitting in the carriage?"
Cangjiu's complexion suddenly changed!
The queen's expression didn't change much, she said calmly and calmly: "Yeluo's envoy is infected with smallpox, and he was not allowed to get out of the car for fear of infecting the city lord."
"Really?" The city lord looked at the queen maliciously.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. If it is in Yeluo, a mere city lord and they will not pay attention to it, but if they enter other people's territory, there will be dragons and tigers in front of them.
The queen said unhurriedly: "If your lord is not afraid of being infected, go and see for yourself."
How can the city lord be so easy to fool? With a sneer, he said, "Smallpox is nothing. I have a doctor here who can treat smallpox. If you keep him, I will let you pass the test."
A murderous look quickly flashed across Cangjiu's face!
General Shen was keenly aware of the change in his breath, his eyes turned cold, and he pressed the sword on his waist.
The queen gently closed her wide sleeves, and said with a gentle smile: "This man is my important minister, I'm afraid I can't give it to you, I wonder if the city lord has heard of Ye Luo's dead man?"
"Ye Luo slain men make the heroes of the world frightened."
"What about General Shen?" The queen suddenly looked at General Shen, "Are you also afraid of Yeluo's dead soldiers?"
General Shen snorted disdainfully: "How could this general be afraid of those things that are neither human nor ghost?"
"General, would you like to give it a try? If the general wins, the people on the carriage belong to you; if the general loses..." Speaking of this, the queen smiled faintly, "Let's talk about it if you lose."
The city lord agreed, and sent General Shen to fight, while Ye Luo dispatched a dead soldier with a long knife. The two fought in the courtyard outside the flower hall. General Shen knew that the other party was not good, so he didn't give the other party anything from the beginning. There was no room for temptation or breathing, he made it with a killer move!
The dead man with the long sword didn't move. Just when his sword was about to cut between his eyebrows, the dead man with the long sword stretched out his hand and pinched his sword. He wanted to pull it back, but unfortunately he was restrained so that he couldn't move. The long-sword dead man slapped his palm, and his whole body flew out.
The city lord flicked his wide sleeves and supported him with his internal force, otherwise he would have hit the wall and spit out blood.
The queen raised her chin and looked at the city lord aloofly: "Is the city lord satisfied with such a dead man?"
There was an intriguing glint in the eyes of the city lord.
The queen said: "I will send four people to the city lord, how about the city lord?"
"Fifteen." The city lord said humanely.
The queen said lightly: "I only have sixteen in total, and the city lord will take away fifteen. Don't you think it's too much?"
"That's ten." The city lord smiled.
The queen sneered: "Eight, if the city lord is still not satisfied, then I will fight out of the city."
The city lord took a few steps forward, stopped in front of the queen, looked at her fixedly, seemed to be smiling, but also seemed to be threatening: "I admit that your dead soldiers are powerful, but do you think they can defeat thousands of troops?"
The queen smiled disdainfully: "Are there thousands of troops in this yard? I give an order, with the strength of dead soldiers, can the city lord wait to rescue the soldiers? The city lord is strong enough to protect himself. Where are the three young masters?"
The three young boys pulled out their swords in an instant!
The city lord pressed his hands in vain, and looked at the queen with condensed eyes. He didn't know how long he had been watching, then suddenly snorted and laughed: "The queen is a smart person, and the city lord loves dealing with smart people the most. ,make a deal!"
General Shen leaned closer to his ear: "City Master, they are just bluffing. When they really fight, let the guards send the young masters to the secret room first. We will definitely last until the army arrives, and then we will be able to kill them all." Don't stay!"
The city lord reprimanded in a low voice: "Kill, you know how to kill, what good is killing them all for the city lord?"
The peace talks can still get eight dead soldiers, but if you tear your face, you will lose one. At that time, although you won the war, you will lose the battlefield. He will not do such a stupid thing.
Although General Shen felt that what the city lord said was very reasonable, but as a general, he would rather die than compromise, but there was nothing he could do about the city lord's words.
The city lord is the real smart person, ambitious, tactful enough, knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and knows how to accept what is good.
The two parties finally reached a deal that seemed happy to Ye Luo but wished to vomit blood on the condition that Ye Luo donated eight long-sword dead soldiers.
The level of preciousness of long-sword dead soldiers is by no means lower than that of Liangshengguo and Yulu, otherwise it would be impossible to let them go with the greedy temperament of the city lord of Pucheng.
After leaving the flower hall, everyone could feel the queen's icy aura, and they didn't even dare to breathe hard.
Just when General Shen was about to take a few people out of the city, there was a sudden noise in the third carriage.
The queen paused, and Cangjiu hurriedly picked the gap between the curtains of the car to have a look, said inwardly that it was not good, turned back to the queen and said, "He is about to break through."
"So fast?" The queen was slightly surprised.
Cangjiu whispered: "It should be tonight, tomorrow at the latest. His aptitude is much better than we expected."
The queen said: "This is a good thing."
Cangjiu secretly said, a good thing is a good thing, but it didn't come at the right time, and you can't bump the road when you break through, it's easy to cause accidents, which means they can't leave now, but if they don't, Ji Mingxiu and Qiao have already entered the city , staying a moment longer is very unfavorable to them.
The Queen's eyes flickered, and she turned around with a smile: "I'm suddenly a little tired, I wonder if I can stay overnight at the City Lord's Mansion and leave tomorrow."
The city owner smiled politely: "Of course! Please come inside!"
The housekeeper Zhuang led several people into the mansion, and at the request of the queen, the housekeeper Zhuang found them the most remote and most deserted residence.
To get there, you have to pass through a small lake, which is considered half of running water. It is connected to the Pucheng River in the city, and an arch bridge is built on the lake.
Steward Zhuang took the lead to take the servants across the bridge and went to tidy up their yard.
A group of people walked on the arch bridge unhurriedly. Halfway through, the queen suddenly stretched out a hand from the carriage and gestured for a stop.
The line stopped.
The queen stepped out of the first carriage and came to the second carriage.
Xiuqin jumped to the ground, saluted her, and then knelt on the ground respectfully.
Stepping on her back, the queen stepped gracefully into the carriage.
The curtain was opened by her slender bare hands, the dazzling light shone in, and a refreshing fragrance wafted into the nostrils.
Jing Yun had already woken up, and was eating the snack Fu Xueyan handed over, but Xiao Wangshu, who had eaten too much "food", was still drunk and fell asleep.
Seeing her coming, Fu Xueyan put down the plate, bowed and saluted.
The queen's eyes fell on the drunk Xiao Wangshu, who didn't know that she was being watched, and slept soundly.
Jing Yun moved his body calmly, blocking the Queen's view.
The queen withdrew her gaze and looked at him tenderly: "Little thing, you have to pay for doing something wrong."
Jing Yun looked at her expressionlessly.
She said something Yeluo.
Cangjiu took out three small cages from the third carriage, and each cage contained a little pet.
Jing Yun looked at Dabai Xiaobai and Zhu'er in the cage, and then at her.
She withdrew her gentle smile: "Throw it down!"
Cangjiu threw three iron cages into the lake.
Jing Yun's little face turned pale.
She stretched out her cold hand, slowly touched Jing Yun's small face, and said very gently: "If you don't look after your sister, you will be the one who gets thrown into the water."
Jing Yun's little hand was tightly clenched into a fist.
…
The queen returned to her carriage, and a group of people entered the yard one after another.
After the three cages were thrown into the water, at first they could still float with the three little pets' dog-like strength, but gradually, it didn't work anymore.
The cage is submerged in the water.
Xiaobai is the lightest and sinks the slowest.
Suddenly, a swift golden eagle flew from the sky, skimmed across the water like lightning, and picked up Xiaobai's cage.
The golden eagle went to look for Dabai and Zhuer's cage, but they couldn't find it anymore...
…
It was time to open the city gate, and the merchants and people who had been waiting for a long time entered the city one after another.
A hunter was walking towards the market near the Pucheng River with a newly killed hare. The crowd was bustling. He habitually walked on the edge. He casually looked under the water and saw a rabbit hanging on the bank. cage.
There was a bunch of dead branches on the bank, half submerged in the water, and the cage was stuck in these dead branches.
There seemed to be something alive in the cage.
Orion took out the hook tied with the rope from the cage, and hooked the cage up.
…
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the north of Pucheng, slightly closer to the North City Gate than the South City Gate.
The two bought two horses, and after spending nearly two hours without alarming the soldiers in the city, they finally walked most of the way.
Then pass a market near the Pucheng River, and after running for ten miles, you will arrive at the City Lord's Mansion.
When the two passed by the market, they didn't know what happened. Everyone ran towards the market. A young man ran too fast and almost ran into Qiao Wei's horse.
Qiao Wei reined in the rein in time, so no one was killed.
But the crowd swarmed past and blocked all the roads. The two had to stop their horses and wait for the crowd to pass before moving on.
While waiting, Qiao Wei glanced at the market by accident, and then she was shocked: "Pearl?"
In the cage, a little black monkey is holding a handkerchief that came from nowhere (it can be properly handkerchiefed even in a cage), covering its heart with one hand, and quietly wiping tears that don’t exist with the other hand , that heartbroken look almost attracted most of the people in Pucheng!
Qiao Wei turned over and got off the horse, and gave the reins to Ji Mingxiu, but Ji Mingxiu pressed her hand, and handed her own reins together with hers: "I'll deal with it."
He can speak Pucheng dialect, and he can also pretend to be a Hun, which is indeed more suitable than himself.
Qiao Wei nodded, and obediently clenched the rein.
Ji Mingxiu stepped into the crowd.
This matter is easy to deal with, Orion picked up a little monkey for nothing, and just wanted to sell it for a few taels of silver. At first, the owner of a restaurant took a fancy to it and wanted to buy it back to make a monkey brain. He burst into tears.
As soon as she cried like this, there were more people onlookers, and everyone felt surprised, so they began to bid for it at a high price.
When Ji Mingxiu walked over there, the price had already reached 1,000 taels.
There is no higher.
The owner of the restaurant was about to take out the money, but Ji Mingxiu gently clasped his wrist, and said in authentic Pucheng dialect: "Did you see clearly? That monkey is seriously ill, like a plague, and is about to die."
"What? Plague?" The owner of the restaurant looked at the little black monkey. Sure enough, the little black monkey, who was full of anger a second ago, fell down in the cage at this moment, rolling his eyes, twitching all over, and sticking out his tongue. .
Could this be some kind of plague? !
Everyone was so frightened that they backed up a few steps.
In the end, Ji Mingxiu took little Pearl home without spending any money.
…
The Yeluo people settled down in the City Lord's Mansion. Fu Xueyan shared a room, Jing Yun and Wang Shu shared a room. Wang Shu was still a little drunk. Dosage, for a martial arts master, I don’t know how many times I have died, and she should have some adverse reactions. When she completely absorbs it, she will wake up.
The security in the courtyard is very strict.
The golden eagle flapped its wings and landed on the open space in the yard. Everyone knew that it was Fu Xueyan's golden eagle, so they didn't care about it. It swaggered into Jing Yun and Wang Shu's room, flapped its wings, and closed them with a bang. door to door.
Then, using a good foot and a mechanical foot, he moved to Jing Yun, glanced at the depressed Jing Yun, opened his mouth, and spit out Xiaobai!
In the next wing, the queen took off her veil.
Qiaoling fetched a basin of hot water, knelt down cautiously, and raised the basin above her head.
The queen washed her hands gently.
Qiaoling stood up slowly, and took the water basin out of the room without looking sideways.
Not long after, Cangjiu knocked on the door.
The queen put on her veil: "Come in."
Cangjiu pushed the door and entered, closed the door, walked up to her and said, "My lord."
"How is it?" asked the Queen.
Cangjiu said: "It's settled down, take the poison pill for the last time, and you can start to break through."
The queen hummed lightly: "This ghost king is very important to us. With him, we don't have to be afraid of He Lanqing anymore. Tonight, you will personally protect the law for him, and you must ensure everything is safe."
"yes!"
The queen waved her hand: "Let's prepare the poison pill first, increase the dose, take one pill first, and take another one after an hour."
"good."
On the other side of the wall, Jing Yun was putting his ear to the bottom of an empty cup, and the cup was turned upside down on the wall. After listening, he put down the cup.
He walked to the door and opened the door forcefully. The guard outside the door looked at him coldly, and he said softly in Ye Luo's skilled Ye Luo words: "Brother guard, I want to pee, I can't hold it in." Living."
The guard looked at this innocent and harmless little face, although he was not moved, he didn't feel that he could do something "harmful". He pointed to the corner and said in Yeluo's words: "The latrine is over there!"
"Thank you brother guard." Jing Yun finished speaking very politely, and ran to the toilet "unbearable".
Of course he didn't enter the hut, but walked around to Cangjiu's window from behind, stuck out half of his head, and saw Cangjiu take out a medicine bottle from the gap in the window, poured out a brown pill, and stepped out of the house.
Before leaving, Cangjiu locked the doors and windows, not noticing that there was a kitten hole in the corner.
Xiao Bai slipped out of Jing Yun's sleeve, sauntered into the cat's cave, took out the medicine bottle, pushed it out of the cat's cave and gave it to Jing Yun.
Jing Yun poured out the pill and crushed it with his fingers: "Xiaobai, pee."
Xiaobai decisively spilled a lot of child mink urine!
Jing Yun looked at the medicinal mud soaked in urine, leaned on the wall, retched, rolled his eyes, and kneaded it into a pill again.
When Cangjiu went back to her room to take the pill for the second time, she had no idea that her pill had turned into a small white urine pill.
