Wait a minute, heroine

After the conflict in the porcelain building warehouse ended and the murderer fled far away, Gouchen Buwu, who was responsible for maintaining public security, arrived belatedly at the scene and began cleaning the floor.

Dongfang Shangqing is the youngest son of King Liang, and he is a sensitive person involved in the diplomatic relations between the two countries. For this reason, the clan leaders from all major tribes came to inquire and condolences to the distinguished guests on the street. Fan Qinghe was also present, and faint scoldings could be heard. :

"You are so bold. Who did it? Hand him over within three days and give an explanation to Mr. Shang Qing. Otherwise..."

At the porcelain market in the distance, the warriors sealed off the warehouse area to prevent idlers from approaching. Ye Jingtang, who had changed back to normal clothes, stood in a quiet place with Master Xuanji, observing the situation from a distance.

The bird got under the wolf's mask, with a big eye exposed from the eye hole, and looked up to the sky and roared:

"Goooo~~"

Seeing that Dongfang Shangqing was negotiating with the heads of the tribes in a normal manner, Ye Jingtang couldn't help but worry that he was not doing things well and asked:

"Did I not hit him hard enough? I feel like Dongfang Shangqing was not frightened."

Master Xuanji crossed her arms across her chest and shrugged slightly:

"Children of the royal family are walking outside, and they have to maintain their posture even if their heads fall off. Based on my visual inspection, Dongfang Shangqing probably won't be able to sleep tonight. If you feel that it's not up to standard, you can secretly sprinkle some 'Dream Like Fantasy Powder' on him. , I’m sure he was so frightened that he asked Hu Yanjing to come over and be the doorkeeper.”

Ye Jingtang felt that this method was too inappropriate, so he naturally did not adopt the suggestion. He watched for a while and saw that Hu Yanjing was being helped to rest in an inn outside the warehouse area, so he quietly went there again.

The inn near the warehouse is a residence prepared for wealthy businessmen and gentry from all over the world, because these people are the gods of wealth of the tribes in the West Sea, and the environment is much better than the tents in other places. Not only do they have clean buildings, but there are also some courtyards. There are bonsai flowers for decoration.

Dongfang Shangqing had a distinguished status and was specially arranged to live in a separate house. The accompanying guards and caravan thugs lived on both sides.

After the conflict broke out, all the young men from the caravan ran to the warehouse area with weapons in hand to support their boss. Hu Yanjing, who had finished the cruel trick, was helped back to the house first.

After the doctor examined the injury and went out to prepare medicine, Hu Yanjing collapsed on the bed and couldn't help but muttered:

"This bastard Cao Aning..."

Although the effect of the bitter meat trick seemed good, he was beaten up by the other party who used the same routine as he had promised to act, and he was naturally very angry.

But it’s not easy to trouble Zhao Aning about this matter. After all, he only needs to go to Cao Aning to settle accounts, and Cao Aning will definitely say:

"Just tell me whether the acting is real or not!"

He couldn't even fart, so he might have to thank someone.

While Hu Yanjing was resting full of complaints, the door suddenly turned and made a sound:

Squeak——

He thought it was the doctor who had come in. Before he opened his eyes, he soon heard footsteps and came to the tea table not far away. He picked up the teapot and poured water.

Wow~~

Hu Yanjing frowned, feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He turned around and looked around, only to see a black-clad and masked Prince of Hell sitting three feet away, pouring tea slowly. When he saw him open his eyes, he said:

"Gang leader Hu is very good at martial arts, how come he was beaten like this by a barbarian from outside the country with three punches and two kicks?"

? !

Hu Yanjing's pupils shrank, he sat up in shock, and quickly bowed his hands:

"Your Excellency is here. You were injured last time and you were negligent, so you accidentally got tricked and made Your Excellency laugh. Your Excellency has just arrived in Langxuan City?"

"It arrived two days ago."

Ye Jingtang couldn't drink tea because he was wearing a face towel, so he just held the tea cup and rubbed it gently:

"It's only a few days until the end of the month. How did you handle the matter I assigned you last time?"

Hu Yanjing was confident, but he was not too afraid and said:

"Your Excellency has spared my life. How can I not take what you have told me to heart? I have sent a letter on the way here. The seller in Yazhou said that they have a contact in Langxuan City. When I arrive, there will be someone You came to talk to me about this matter. You just arrived today and I haven’t seen anyone come to the door yet. Scaled steel is a forbidden item. Although I don’t doubt your identity, the seller is afraid of being liquidated by the court, so he must be very wary. This matter is really urgent. Not coming……"

After listening to the progress, Ye Jingtang nodded:

"That's right. Our Qinchi tribe is temporarily in decline, but it will eventually rise again. In the future, the royal court will be restored, and there will be a great demand for materials such as scaled steel. If you can help negotiate this matter, you will definitely benefit from it afterwards."

Hu Yanjing confirmed with Du Tanqing that the young man in front of him with unfathomable martial arts skills was probably the orphan of King Tianlang.

According to Du Tanqing, the Qinchi tribe once formed an alliance of five tribes with the four major tribes in the West Sea, and swore to be brothers and advance and retreat together. The structure of one king and four princes also became the foundation of the modern northwest royal court.

Later, the Qinchi tribe was wiped out, and there was no successor in the world. The tribes in the West Sea also became a piece of scattered sand. Naturally, this covenant was forgotten. No one would come out to propose the abolition of the covenant and declare the Qinchi tribe. No longer dominant.

The throne of King Tianlang has not been publicly abolished by the major ministries, and no abdication edict has been written. From a legal point of view, the Northwest Royal Court has not yet been disbanded. It is just that the old King Tianlang died and the group was leaderless, temporarily losing control of the country. .

If the successor of King Tianlang emerges and is recognized by the major ministries, it will be much easier to regain power than it would be for vassal kings such as King Zuoxian and King Liang to raise their troops to rebel.

Hu Yanjing has been determined to restore the glory of the general since he was a child. He never cares about whose family he is the general. He will stand with whoever casts a wide net and has a higher success rate. For this reason, when he heard these words, he naturally became interested and said again:

"Your Excellency, if you want to restore the Northwest Royal Court, it will be difficult. I am openly a disciple of King Liang, and privately I am also an informant of King Zuoxian. I have a lot of contacts with the high-level officials of Beiliang and know many secrets. King Tianlang was there at that time. You were defeated at the hands of Zuoxian King Li Maci. If Zuoxian King's Palace knew of your existence, they would definitely eradicate it.

"King Zuo Xian has very strong control over the tribes in the West Sea. Many tribes have secretly taken refuge in King Zuo Xian. Although I don't know the specific ones, I can confirm that there must be people from King Zuo Xian among the four major tribes..."

Ye Jingtang felt that these words were a tip of the hat to him, and because he knew Hu Yanjing's lowly character, he didn't take it seriously, so he asked instead:

"Did you send my news to Prince Zuoxian's Mansion?"

?

Hu Yanjing's expression froze: "I accidentally let it slip. I didn't mention anything about reselling scaled steel with you. I want to live for a few more years, so how can I dare to reveal your whereabouts to Prince Zuoxian's palace?"

Ye Jingtang thought about it for a while and didn't talk much about it. He stood up and said:

"If there is any news from the seller, tie a yellow cloth strip outside the inn. I will contact you when I see it."

"Understood, walk slowly..."

…

——

On the other side, in the warehouse room of Porcelain Building.

After Dongfang Shangqing returned to the inn, the leaders of the various ministries did not leave. Instead, they gathered in a large warehouse and held an impromptu small meeting, asking all ministries to strengthen precautions.

Among the tribes in the West Sea, the four major tribes are the leaders, and there are more than ten tribes that can muster thousands of elite soldiers. Without a leader, they are just a group of mountain kings. They usually fight against each other for resources, food, grass, etc. There was friction. At this time, the leaders gathered together to talk about things. The scene could be said to be chaotic. If Sima Yue hadn't been very prestigious, it wouldn't be unusual for them to fight on the spot.

Fan Qinghe couldn't understand who was so bold as to assassinate the son of King Liang in Langxuan City. After confirming that he was not a member of his clan, he stopped joining in the quarrel and was about to return to the station. When he walked out of the gate, he saw Gouchen King Sima Yue stood outside the warehouse.

The security work in Langxuan City was in charge of the Gou Chen Department. At this time, Sima Yue severely reprimanded several clan elders outside the warehouse, urging them to step up patrols to catch the troublemakers.

Fan Qinghe is the King of Dongming, and has the same status as King Gou Chen. Although his martial arts skills are slightly inferior, as the secret Thief Saint of Beiliang, he is not very guilty in his heart. He wanted to say hello and leave, but Sima Yue... He turned around and called her:

"Sister Fan, wait."

Sima Yue is in his fifties, much older than Fan Qinghe, so it's a bit awkward to call him 'sister'.

But Sima Yue is the brother of the last Tianlang King, and Fan Qinghe's clan sister married into the northwest royal court and became a princess. In terms of seniority, the two are really peers.

However, most of them are more or less related to each other. Although they are brothers and sisters, their relationship with each other is not very close in private. They are just polite in words.

Seeing this, Fan Qinghe turned around and came to him and asked:

"Brother Sima, is there anything else?"

Sima Yue touched the beard on his chin:

"I heard someone say during the day that you have been inquiring about the Dragon Prisoner Mi recently?"

Fan Qinghe wanted to find a pharmacist among various ministries, and he couldn't hide the news. He said:

"I heard recently that a prisoner dragon miasma has reappeared in the capital of Wei Dynasty. The clan elders are very serious about this matter. I am investigating privately. Does Brother Sima know his whereabouts?"

Sima Yue naturally knew that he was the one who sold Prisoner of Dragon Miasma, but he couldn't make it clear. He stopped Fan Qinghe just because he received another letter from Prince Zuoxian's palace in the morning and learned about the appearance of the descendants of the Qinchi tribe.

Sima Yue did not find the descendants of King Tianlang back then. If King Tianlang still has orphans and has successfully grown up, the most likely person who knows his whereabouts is Dong Mingbu.

Because the son of King Tianlang is the grandson of the old Zhu Zong of the Dongming tribe and the descendant of the Qinchi tribe, the first choice must be to join them.

Sima Yue thought about it for a moment and said:

"Prisoning Dragon Miasma is the secret medicine of the Qinchi tribe. Since the royal court was defeated by Liaoyuan, it has completely disappeared. I was raised by the old King Tianlang, and I am a brother with King Tianlang. I have been looking for Tianlang for these years. When Queen Lang suddenly heard the news, she could not help but have some thoughts.

"It would be great if King Tianlang had descendants. I am a great Sima with a first-class official position. I don't have to think about where King Tianlang directs me to fight. Why am I like this for both internal and external affairs?" Something is bothering me..."

Fan Qinghe heard that Sima Yue missed her old master, and her heart naturally moved. After all, this coincided with her idea of ​​supporting Ye Jingtang to rebuild the Northwest Royal Court.

However, Sima Yue was not tough on the outside. Contrary to her concept, Fan Qinghe did not bring Ye Jingtang here now for the safety of Ye Jing Tang to let the two reminisce about the past. He just said:

"How can we, the children of the tribes in the West Sea, be bullied by the Northern and Southern Dynasties forever? Even if King Tianlang leaves no descendants, there will always be a new king among the tribes."

When Sima Yue heard this official talk, he knew that he would get nothing out of the question, so he didn't say anything more and instead said:

"I used to march and fight, and I took a pharmacist with me. I heard that the Dragon Miasma requires the use of medicinal materials called 'Rotten Bone Crow'. I just checked and found out that this year, a batch of 'Rotten Bone Crow' from Xuanhao tribe flowed into the Shang Dynasty. The team's hand seems to have gone near Duolan Valley, I don't know if it's because of entering the customs or something..."

When Fan Qinghe heard this, he nodded slightly, thanked him, then left and returned to his station.

——

The silver moon is in the sky, and the Dong Ming Department is stationed in the place.

It has been three or four days since Night Terror Hall set out from Honghe Town. According to the schedule, Ning'er and the others have arrived and started heading towards Langxuan City. They will arrive in three days at most.

The situation outside the customs is a bit complicated. Although there are many experts in the team, there is not much risk, but Ye Jingtang has nothing to do at the moment. After holding it in for more than half a month, Ning'er and Sanniang are really hungry, so they are ready to return in advance. , took the convoy over, and then continued to investigate various things.

In the tent at the rear of the station, Ye Jingtang was changing clothes in front of the bed. Master Xuanji didn't show any sign of restraint. He just stood in front of the small case with his back turned, holding a book in his hand and looking at it:

"The Secret History of Queen Marietta, Continued...Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will find out about this?"

"It's just a miscellaneous book to relieve boredom in your spare time. It doesn't write anything too extreme. Besides, the Queen Mother herself doesn't like to read it."

"Then I will take it as a treasure to the Queen Mother?"

Ye Jingtang paused and hesitated for a moment:

"Don't say you got it from me, just say you bought it yourself..."

While he was talking, footsteps came from outside the tent.

Tap tap tap~

Fan Qinghe was in his own territory and heard the two of them chatting. Naturally, he didn't knock or anything, and there was no door to knock on. As soon as he raised the door curtain, he saw Ye Jingtang standing in front of the bed with his upper body naked, his broad back and perfect body The waistline is in full view.

"oh!"

Fan Qinghe was startled, quickly turned his head and exited, saying in embarrassment:

"Witch, aren't you ashamed? You stand in the room while a man is changing his clothes. He is your apprentice son-in-law!"

Master Xuanji has never been shy about saying anything, so she flipped through the book and said casually:

"I didn't look at it. Besides, I am a monk. Drinking and sex have passed through my intestines, and Taozu's heart remains..."

Ye Jingtang quickly put on his clothes, stopped Master Xuanji's erroneous words, opened the door curtain and said:

"Why is Miss Fan here? Any news?"

Fan Qinghe looked back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Jingtang had not exposed his flesh:

"I just got some information from the Gouchen Department. They said that the Dragon Prisoner Miasma uses the 'Rotten Bone Crow'. The output of the Rotten Bone Crow is very small, and the Xuanhao Department doesn't have much inventory at all. I just checked and there is indeed a batch this year. , sent to Duolan Valley in the southwest, I will take you there to check, maybe you can find clues."

When Ye Jingtang heard the news, he naturally became concerned. He immediately took the map and looked at it carefully - Duolan Valley is outside the customs at the junction of Liangzhou and Shazhou. It belongs to the Sanguang area. The distance is quite far. Pegasus rushes over at least Two or three days, five or six days of going back and forth passed, and by then the Queen Mother and the others would have already arrived at Langxuan City...

Master Xuanji came to the front, looked at it, and said:

"When the Queen Mother and Prince Jing come to Langxuan City, they can't do it without Wu Kui by their side. Waiting for them to investigate before they arrive will waste time. You go back to pick up the Queen Mother, while Qinghe and I go to Duolan Valley to look for clues."

Ye Jingtang knew that this proposal was suitable, but he did not believe in Shui Shui's ability to investigate clues. He thought for a while and said:

"You go pick them up, and Miss Fan and I will go check for clues. This way there won't be any mistakes."

When Fan Qinghe heard that the demon girl could finally leave, he felt a little happy, but before he could speak, he heard Master Xuanji say:

"What if she seduces you when I'm not here?"

"Bah! You witch..."

Fan Qinghe was almost distracted by these words, his face turned red, and he was about to roll up his sleeves and take action.

It's a pity that his skills are not as good as others, and he was captured by Master Xuanji in an instant.

Ye Jingtang quickly broke up the fight to prevent King Dongming from being bullied, and said at the same time:

"Business matters, don't joke around, just follow the arrangements I said..."

——

At the same time, Liangzhou.

In the desolate Gobi Desert, a carriage was flying along the Gobi Desert, covered with stars and moonlight. Occasionally, wolf howls could be heard in the surrounding fields:

"Ouch~..."

The workmanship of the carriage is quite exquisite. Not only the inside and outside of the carriage are painted with fine paint, but there are also wind chimes hung on the four corners of the carriage, which jingle in the wind. Running on the desolate Gobi desert, it shows a very unique sense of magnificence.

A candle lamp was lit in the carriage, which was also covered with brocade quilts. Packages and weapons were placed in the corners of the carriage.

Xue Baijin took off her outer robe and was only wearing white clothes and white trousers. She was sitting on the floor, holding a map in her hand and drawing a route. She unwrapped her chest, causing her figure to become very plump, and her long black hair was draped on her back. It looked like It looks very feminine.

However, she has no makeup on her cheeks, and her stern smile has become a habit. Her demeanor is different from the cynical and domineering empress. She looks like a very upright woman, and she has the feeling of not being inferior to women. .

Luo Ning followed her from Honghe Town in the morning. After getting along for a day, she slowly regained the feeling of traveling together in the past. She was no longer so reserved. At this time, she was sitting sideways on the floor, helping fold clothes, and said:

"No one knows you outside. Isn't it uncomfortable for you to be so tight?"

Xue Baijin answered casually: "A bit. It would be great if I were like you. I wouldn't be able to tell if I pester you casually, which would be much more convenient."

? !

Luo Ning made a move, straightened her back, and immediately raised her eyebrows!

However, she and Bai Jin have known each other for so many years, and she also knows that Bai Jin is very serious and will not make these little girly jokes with her. When you say this, you should really think so...

Why do I get angrier the more I think about it...

Xue Baijin glanced at the map for a few times, feeling murderous intent coming from behind, and then turned around:

"What's wrong?"

Luo Ning used to be an innocent heroine who never minded about her figure, and she was not small either, much bigger than Yunli.

But after joining the Night Terror Hall, she was called "little watermelon, little watermelon" all day long, and Sanniang bullied others, so she gradually became a little sensitive to these things.

Seeing the confusion in Bai Jin's eyes, Luo Ning also knew that her reaction was wrong. She put down her robe and sat in front of her, talking nonsense:

"As the leader of Pingtian, the number one in the world, how can you feel sorry for yourself and feel inferior to me? Your figure was given by your parents, and there is nothing you can do if your breasts get in the way. Correcting your attitude and recognizing the reality is the magnanimity that the number one person under the mountain should have. …”

?

Xue Baijin raised his hand and touched Luo Ning's forehead. His eyes were thoughtful, and he probably meant - if his brain doesn't have a fever, then it's probably because of water...

Snapped!

Luo Ning slapped Xue Baijin's hand away, stopped talking nonsense, and took the map:

"Where should we look first?"

"Go all the way west from here, exit from Huanglaoguan, and arrive at Duolan Valley. After passing through, you will enter the desert. According to Dayan's exploration situation, there should be an ancient city buried under the yellow sand in that area..."

"oh……"

…

While chatting softly, the carriage gradually drifted away on the thousands of miles of Gobi...
