Chapter 320

"Yes, it's the Royal beast." Yu Chuqing reaches out a finger and flicks the edge of the teacup. He looks at the tea soup rippled by the vibration. Then he says, "the Royal spirit beast guards the sacred beast for our human race. According to the only historical records of Dayan, in the last war between the human race and the demon race in ancient times, the early Royal spirit beast once summoned the heaven and earth to set up the Holy Spirit array, The thirty-six demons who will support the demon emperor's dome will be trapped and killed, which makes the demon army who is slightly under the control of Yanhuang withdraw from Qingmu mainland. "

Yu Chuqing looks at Lu que, who is frowning and thinking about something, but doesn't speak. She goes on saying, "I know what you are worried about. Xiaobai is not an adult now. With her ability, she may not be able to set up the great array of the Holy Spirit in the sky, but it should be OK to help lemiaoer play the great music of the heavenly sound with the power of the spirit, You can ask about it later with the spirit tripod. If Xiaobai has no way now, we can think of other ways. "

"Mother, what else can you do?" Lu que looks up and asks Yu Chuqing.

"Before I came to waige, I had people summon the foreign affairs departments of the thirty-six states of Shahai with fast shadow Lingying, and ordered them to find the whereabouts of Le Xianyin and Wu Xiashang. If they are still in the Shahai, there must be news soon." Yu Chuqing then took another sip of the tea cup, but her eyes narrowed slightly as she put it down. If she really can't find Le Xianyin and Wu Xiashang, and the spirit beast can't help Le miao'er play the music of heaven, what she will do next will even disturb the whole royal family.

Seeing that there was no tea in the teapot, Lu que got up and put a clay pot for boiling water on the brazier. Then he said, "but mother, the sand sea stretches thousands of miles, the quicksand is dense, and the wind blows the hills. Even if we find the owners of music and dance, when they rush back to Daqian, it's too late."

"Short son, you don't have to worry about it. I'll take them back to Daqian and send them to zhennanguan in ten days as long as I can find their whereabouts."

Lu que was a little curious when he heard that he just closed his lips a few times, but he didn't ask. After all, his mother was the eldest princess of the royal family, and it was normal for him to know something that the world didn't know. Although he was half Royal, he was Lu after all. He didn't know whether it was appropriate for him to ask.

"I don't mind telling you." Yu Chuqing looked at Lu Que's expression and said with a smile, "it's well known that the dragon has nine sons, and you've seen prisoner ox, Jai canthus and Jiaotu in the nine sons of the dragon in the mountain and sea paintings. Do you know that the Phoenix has nine chicks?"

"Phoenix breeding nine chicks?" Lu que was stunned, and then said, "it is said that in ancient times, most of the Fengs led by Yujia, the ancestor of the Fengs, retreated from the Yanzhou land. In Qingmu land, there were mainly five colored Phoenix, among which qingluan lived in the East, Zhuque in the south, Honghu in the west, Zhuo in the north and Zhuo in the center. According to the legend, the central bunting has nine chicks. Just like the dragon has nine sons, the legend that the Phoenix has nine chicks is not to be studied. There are many different opinions about the Phoenix's nine chicks and the dragon's nine sons

"You're right." Yu Chuqing nodded and said, "our country is built by fire, and the family of Yu takes Phoenix as their emblem. Although there is no real Phoenix, or colorful Phoenix like Zhuo bird that does not return to the mountain, Tonghe, who represents the auspicious red glow among the nine chicks of Fengyu, sleeps in the Palace. If necessary, we can ask Tonghe to go out of the sand sea in the West, Take the two of them back. "

"Tong he?" Lu que was surprised when he heard that the rank of Tonghe could not be compared with that of the Zhuo divine birds in buguishan, but it was very rare in the secular world. He did not expect that the royal family of Yu, who respected Phoenix, had raised a Tonghe in the palace.

"Yes, it's Tong he." Yu Chuqing nodded, with a trace of admiration in her eyes, and said, "emperor Fangnian Taizu came to the mountain personally. When he came, he brought two things. One is the imperial family's precious Fire Phoenix pearl, which was controlled by the leading Princess of Daqian, and the other is the egg of Tonghe. Although we can't tell whether Tonghe was born by Yanhe, it's huge, Speed is more than you give Gu Qingcheng white feather jackdaw also won several times

"So it is, so it's time." Lu que nodded when he heard the words. He had seen a lot of sacred animals and spirit animals with the blood of sacred animals in bugui mountain. He naturally understood how amazing these sacred animals and spirit animals were. Just like when he was trapped in xiyuanze last year, Zhuo shenbird never came back to the mountain to visit xiyuanze. The distance of ten thousand miles was nothing to them.

"But I still hope you can inquire about the Royal spirits and beasts. It's better for Le miao'er and Wu yunshang to recreate the sound of heaven than their mother in my opinion." Yu Chuqing eyes dew deep meaning said.

"I see." Lu nodded his head. Although Lu was not very clear, he also guessed his mother's intention. Musicians and dancers can be famous again with Tianyin dance, but it's better not to be done by the two masters. He didn't meet Yue Xianyin and Wu Xiashang, but he knew more or less about Le Miaoer and Wu yunshang. They were not keen on power and would not affect the political balance of Da Qian in the future.

"Well, I'll go first if I don't have anything to do. I still have some things I used when I was young in jingcui palace. I'll just go to clean them up and send them back to the mansion. By the way, I'll take lemiaoer to have a look." Yu Chuqing stood up and said, "you are in charge of the overall situation of Southern Xinjiang, and you will focus on military affairs. As for other things, I will come forward to handle them. After a while, I'll send a message to the dancer to send Chaohuang Jingshi drum to the capital. It doesn't matter if you can't catch up when you go out. Before you lead the army to zhennanguan, this thing will surely be handed over to wuyunshang. "

"Thank you, mother." Lu que smiles at Wen Yan. His father, Lu Chun, his mother, Yu Chuqing, and he are all trying their best to do the same thing. He knows that his parents will always stand behind him and be the shield for him, which makes him feel very relieved.

"By the way, mother." Just as Yu Chuqing nodded to leave, Lu que said, "mother, the seventh aunt was going to go south with the Changqing army, but all the people who were recently photographed in Princess Tianyang's mansion were blocked. No one saw the seventh aunt herself. The Zhuge people of Jingzhao's mansion went out to inspect the counties in the capital, and they are not in the capital now, I have some military affairs to discuss with my seventh aunt. After all, although the eight tribes of Dark Phoenix do not exist, there are still many forces in southern Xinjiang. I don't know if my mother can come forward and invite my seventh aunt to Zhaowu hall. "

"Chuxin?" Yu Chuqing was stunned and said, "didn't Wei Niang tell you?"

"Say what?" Lu que raised his head in surprise, with a confused look.

"Your seventh aunt, Princess Tianyang, left for the South after the great court meeting. With him was the former Dark Phoenix orange cuckoo. Now Ningguo's wife Cheng Juan asked for two hissing dragons and horses when they left. According to the calculation of foot distance, they should have arrived at zhennanguan at this time, or even gone out of it."

"Did the seventh aunt leave any words or messages, and how would she join me?" Lu que Wen Yan frowned and asked.

"You don't have to worry about that. You lead the army to the south. The target is so big that your seventh aunt is sure to find you." Yu Chuqing patted Lu que on the shoulder and continued, "it's better for your seventh aunt to go south ahead of time. Dark Huang has been operating in southern Xinjiang for many years. The intelligence network is more secret than the foreign intelligence department and the military intelligence department. Maybe when you go south, she will give you a surprise."

"So the child can rest assured." Lu nodded, but he had something to discuss with Yu Chuxin, but now that she had left the imperial capital, she could only put it down for a while and talk about it after she got together in southern Xinjiang.

At the same time, in the bend of Ningan River, an unknown tributary, which has long been broken by Fengxiang army, three six meter long canoes are quietly stopping there. More than 100 people were standing on the bank at this time. The leader was Xie Daoqin and Lin Mingxuan who deliberately rescued Xie Daoxian and Xie Daoquan from Heyan city.

When the inner city of Heyan was conquered by Yu Tianxiang, Xie Daoxian and Xie Daoquan were stunned by flying stones from nowhere. When they woke up, they had left Heyan city and came to the south of the South Camp of Fengxiang garrison. At this time, they were out of danger. Even Xie Daoxian, who had planned to survive with Heyan city before, lost his heart, According to Xie Daoqin's arrangement, he bypassed Fengxiang's inspection range and went all the way south.

Along the way, they gathered dozens of defeated soldiers who escaped from Heyan City, and met Chai Yuanjian, who was forced out of Heyan city by Chai family guards. However, their way back to Zhongxing City, the capital of Tianxing king, had been cut off. There were more than 200000 troops of Fengxiang army and Yulin army in the middle of them. After they had discussed with each other, We can only follow the road arranged by Xie Daoqin and go all the way south to this bend.

"Er Niu, why are you?" However, when Chai Yuanjian saw the person who met them, he was surprised, because this person was Huang Erniu who had been favored by him and arranged to be his deputy in his brother-in-law pan Juchuan's camp. However, according to Chai Yuanjian's knowledge, it was Huang Erniu who inspected the river the night Yu Tianxiang led his army across the river to attack Ning'an water village. Huang Erniu had already died in the war, but he didn't expect to see him here. He also appeared as a receptionist arranged by Xie Daoqin.

"I've met general Xie, Sheriff Xie, general Chai. How are you after many days?" Huang Er Niu was the first to bow his hand to several people.

At this time, although Huang Er Niu was still a simple and honest face, his bright eyes occasionally showed that the person in front of him was a man of great cultivation and shrewdness, and the smile on his lips was not very comfortable. The contrast with his impression almost made Chai Yuanjian not believe that he was the same person.

"How can you show up here? I heard that you disappeared when the Fengxiang army crossed the river. Did you join Daqian?" Chai Yuanjian's eyes flashed cold when he looked at Huang Er Niu, and his hand was also on the hilt of the sword.

When Heyan city was lost, his brother-in-law pan Juchuan was killed by an arrow in order to save him. In addition to these days of running and hiding like a mouse, he felt a sense of depression condensed in his chest, but he couldn't spit it out. When he saw Huang Er Niu, he could not help but think of the original battle of riverside water stronghold, because the patrol fleet did not give early warning in time, which led him to fall into the disadvantage at the beginning of the battle. He believes that it was Huang Er Niu who was bought in advance by Da Qian that didn't give a warning. At this time, he put all the responsibility for the loss of Ning'an water stronghold on Huang Er Niu.

"General Chai, do you want to fight me?" Looking at Chai Yuan Jian's hand on the scabbard, Huang Er Niu's face didn't even change. However, his eyes toward Chai Yuan Jian were a bit ironic.

In Chai Yuanjian's opinion, this is quite different from the person in his impression. He can't help but ask, "tell me, are you bribed by Fengxiang army, so you didn't give a warning on purpose?"

"Bribe? Feng Xiang army Huang Er Niu shook his head, looked at Xie Dao Xian and said, "I think general Xie should have guessed my identity."

"Are you the emissary of Dark Phoenix Xie Daoxian looks at Huang Er Niu, and his elder sister Xie Daoqin has already told him frankly that she is one of the envoys of Dark Phoenix Fu Xing. Now they have come here all the way according to Xie Daoqin's arrangement, so the person in front of them may also be one of the envoys of Dark Phoenix Fu Xing, but the ranking is not as high as that of elder sister Xie Daoqin.

"It's general Xie who has a clear mind." Huang Er Niu smiles when he hears the speech. Although he doesn't admit it directly, the meaning of his words has undoubtedly admitted his identity.

"You are the people of Tianxing. Why do you want to join the Dark Phoenix and join Daqian?" Although his elder sister is also an emissary of Dark Phoenix Fuxing, and she ranks very high in the emissary of Fuxing, Xie Daoxian still asks, for Chai Yuanjian, when he hears Xie Daoxian's words, he holds his hand on the hilt of the sword tightly, and his eyes are fixed on Huang Erniu.

"Tianxing people? How can Tianxing treat us as people? In the eyes of the royal family, we are just lambs that can be enslaved at will. " Huang Er Niu sneered, "you are all from Chai and Xie families. Have you ever been short of food and clothing? Have you ever seen many injustices in the world? "

"It's not your reason to betray Tianxing." Chai Yuanjian draws out his long sword from his waist and points it at Huang Erniu.

"Betray the stars?" Huang Er Niu shook his head and said strangely, "you are all children of Qing nationality. You've been reading poetry since childhood. I don't know if you've ever heard that" if you regard your ministers as your brothers, you'll see them as your heart. "; If you regard a minister as a dog or a horse, you will regard him as a national; If you look at your ministers like dirt, then you look at them like enemies. " In my eyes, the Royal Yan family, the Zhengqing three families and the local powerful families are all enemies. "

At this point, Huang Er Niu's fingers flicked on the tip of Chai Yuan Jian's sword. Chai Yuan Jian felt a strong attack, and his wrist power made the sword fly. He couldn't help looking at Huang Er Niu with an incredible face. Xie Dao Xian was also surprised. His accomplishments and Chai Yuan Jian seemed to be in the middle of each other, but Huang Er Niu's understatement, It's obvious that their cultivation is far above them, and they can't help showing their sense of preparedness.

Huang Erniu didn't go on, but said, "at that time, I was just a hunter in the mountains. I lived with my younger sister and depended on the mountain goods. Originally, I could barely make a living. However, since the dispute between the court and the court became more and more fierce, several princes increased taxes on the fiefs for the sake of money. I had to pay taxes three times to buy and sell mountain goods in the city, The money you get from a truck of leather goods is less than ten days of rice. You must not know that you live in the king's capital. "

Xie Daoxian, Chai Yuanjian and Xie Daoquan look at each other face to face. They have not heard that among the four princes, the second and the third are heavily exploited. But they did not expect that the situation has become so serious. A mountain people who lives on hunting can't get half a month's food with a cart of leather goods. How can the people survive.

Looking at the three men's slightly changed faces, Huang Er Niu said, "later, my younger sister was seriously ill. I spent a lot of effort to hunt an adult tiger. I wanted to sell the tiger skin to my younger sister for medical treatment, but it was just in time for the central government to send someone to inspect the local officials. In order to preserve the official position, the county officials seized my tiger skin, He said that he wanted to make a tiger mattress for the little cold side concubine of the second prince. Do you know what they used to exchange tiger skin with me? " Said here, Huang Er Niu stretched out a finger: "a piece of silk, a piece of good tiger skin is only worth a piece of silk, that's my sister's life-saving money, where do you say the star is fair, how can such a country survive?"

"It's just done by local officials. The king and the officials in the court don't know about it. You can't explain it all at once." Chai Yuanjian was also moved. Although Huang Erniu didn't say what happened to his sister, he didn't think the ending would be very good. However, the education he received from childhood made him feel that no matter what hardships he experienced, he could not commit treason.

"The trees in autumn wither their branches and leaves, while our stars damage their roots. It's not unreasonable at this point." Xie Daoquan, who has never spoken, sighs that he was once the head of a county. Naturally, he is very clear about the local affairs. He knows how arrogant and domineering the local aristocrats are. Even though he was born in the Xie family, he did not have to compromise. In Xie Daoquan's view, if Tianxing wants to keep a foothold in the world, it must follow the example of Da Qian's political reform as Nanli did. However, Da Qian sent out a large army to attack, which made Tianxing no longer have this opportunity.
