Chapter 122(1/2)
"What's going on?" Liu Su asked lightly. The people guarding the treasure were all his carefully selected secret guards. They were all masters among masters. How could they just disappear? Not even a signal?
"I went on inspection this morning and found that all the boats were gone. I didn't find anything suspicious." Ying Yi said softly.
Liu Chang narrowed his eyes and pondered over and over what Ying Yi said. There was nothing suspicious about it. Could it be poisoning? Only poisoning can make everyone unable to resist and defeat them all.
"It's absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air!" Xianxue narrowed her eyes and walked out first, followed immediately by Liu Su and others.
When Xianxue arrived at the place where she had chosen to park the boat, everything was as usual, as if nothing had ever happened. Xianxue looked around carefully and saw a drop of water on one of the rocks protruding from the water.
The faint trace of blood might not have left even this little clue if it hadn't been washed away by the river in this place.
The people responsible for guarding these treasures are all Liu Su's confidants. Judging from this drop of blood, they definitely did not disappear out of thin air. There must have been a struggle. However, these people came too strangely and did things very neatly and without any sloppiness! From Yingyi's description
Judging from time, these treasures will definitely disappear within a day.
Xianxue stood up and looked at the estuary not far away, the endless blue expanse as far as the eye could see.
"These treasures may be meat buns beating dogs, and they will never come back." Liu Su, like Xianxue, stared at the blue ocean that connected with the sky.
"Yang Ye's army is about to arrive. We can't make any mistakes in these two days. As soon as the army arrives, they will immediately transport the treasures and recruit troops for the purpose of restoring the country. At present, no more treasures can be placed in this place!"
Xue looked at Liu Chang and whispered.
Liu Su nodded, this is the only way, how dare someone take food from his hand! Think about the suspicious person carefully, and look at the whole world, only Zongzheng Qishuo has this ability, there are people around him, no one
Finding traces of the treasure landing ashore means that it has nothing to do with Zongzheng Qishuo, and it is impossible for Zongzheng Qishuo to enter that sea area rashly.
"Go see Wei Qing. I can do it alone. You should stay." Xianxue suggested.
Liu Chang was silent, not because he was worried that Xianxue would go alone.
"Dad, don't worry, we will protect your mother." The two little boys took Liu Su's hands and vowed.
"Master, let me go with you." Ying Yi said proactively.
Xianxue looked at the three of them and nodded.
"Don't worry about us. We will set off after we get ashore. No matter what the outcome is, I will be back before the sun goes down tomorrow." Xianxue smiled lightly.
Liu Su nodded. After getting off the boat, he watched Xianxue, mother and son leave. Yuhua's figure suddenly appeared, standing behind Liu Su.
"Didn't I ask you to rest more? Why are you here again?" Liu Su asked lightly.
"Master, you love Miss Xianxue very much, don't you?" Yuhua suddenly asked, with a lingering sadness between her eyebrows. Liu Su had never seen such an expression on Yuhua's face.
"Yes." Liu Chang nodded.
I really envy Miss Xianxue. There is another person who also loves Miss Xianxue, and his love is no less than that of his master.
"Jiehua, go and protect Xianxue secretly, don't let her know." Liu Chang was still worried and ordered to him.
"Yes!" Yaohua nodded immediately, mounted a horse and chased after Xianxue and others in the direction where they disappeared.
At the foot of the empty mountain, only Liu Su was left. He blew a whistle and saw a bright red figure suddenly appear in the air not far away. The long sea of water covered half of his face, making it difficult to see the person clearly.
's true appearance.
"Juetian, go and keep an eye on Zongzheng Qishuo."
"Yes!" A flash of bright red quickly disappeared in front of Liu Su's eyes.
The army is stationed in Lijia Town at the foot of Shushan Mountain. The population of the town is not very large, but it is still lively. Although it is already evening, there are still many pedestrians and cars on the street. It seems that the 100,000 garrison has made this town lively.
The town is quite lush.
"Ying Yi, give this letter to Wei Qing and see what his reaction is. You can talk to him first. If he wants to submit to me, then go." Xianxue ordered to Shadow.
"Master, what if Wei Qing refuses to surrender?" Ying Yi is not sure. If someone wants them to secretly change their masters now, they will definitely kill that person without hesitation. I believe that Wei Qing, who is loyal to Chu Qingyu, is not so
Very easy to persuade.
"Then it depends on whether we have the ability." Xianxue chuckled. The token in her hand was of no use to Wei Qing. Judging from the information obtained through the Shadow Investigation, Wei Qing was a very good person.
At the right time, but he only has one weakness, he is a martial arts idiot. However, his own talent is not high. He has practiced hard for more than thirty years and is not even a master, but he is very good at leading troops in battle.
Shadow said nothing, packed up the letter, turned around, and headed towards the main tent where Wei Qing was.
Xianxue walked to the center of the street with the two children, walked to an inn, handed the horse to the inn's boy, and led the two children into the largest inn in Lijia Town.
"Madam, do you want to have a meal or stay in a hotel?" The waiter immediately came over and looked at Xianxue, mother and son with smiles on their faces.
"Everything is needed, prepare a first-class room for me." Xianxue took out a silver coin and handed it to the waiter, who immediately welcomed Xianxue to the second floor.
"It's really weird today. I don't know what happened, but there are so many rich people here." The waiter muttered. Usually their superior rooms were empty, but today they were suddenly full.
Xianxue paused for a moment, a little suspicious of what the waiter said casually. She went upstairs and turned a corner, and the waiter stopped immediately. There were some flowers and trees standing beside the long corridor, and a faint fragrance filled her nostrils.
The wood carvings on it are quite exquisite, which really adds a lot of beauty once decorated. Moreover, the environment here is relatively private and a bit more tranquil.
"Madam, it's a coincidence that you came here. We only have three first-class rooms, and there is only one left today. Madam, please." The waiter welcomed Xianxue into the innermost room. As soon as the window opened, he saw
The magnificent scenery of Shushan Mountain.
"There are two other people who moved in today?" Xianxue asked lightly.
"That's right, I haven't seen one of them. It seems that a servant came to book a room for him. I haven't seen anyone yet. There is another one who is even stranger. People always ride horses when they go out. When he arrived, he was holding an old man's head.
Donkey." The waiter said casually and specially emphasized the word "lead", while wiping the table and waiting for Xianxue's instructions.
Is it him? Xianxue suddenly thought of the scene on the suspension bridge. This man's skills are unpredictable. What's the purpose of wandering around Shushan?
"Madam, do you want to eat in your room or..."
"It's in the room. You can prepare some signature dishes as you like." Xianxue ordered softly. The money was enough to book this small inn, and the waiter was naturally very enthusiastic in his service.
"Okay, madam, and the young master, young lady, please wait a moment." After the waiter finished speaking, he withdrew.
Xianxue walked to the window. Shu Mountain seemed to be so close that she could reach it with just a hand. It was less than a column away from where the army was stationed. When she came, she passed by a hill that was not very high and could see white tents stretching all the way.
It's endless, it goes around the bottom of the mountain and can't see the edge.
"Mom, we want to go for a walk." The two little kids said in unison.
"Don't go too far, you have to come back before dinner." Xianxue explained softly. The two little kids nodded and immediately rushed out like flying.
Xianxue took out the Black Iron Token and kept rubbing it in her palm. The big word "order" was black and shining extremely solemnly. Suddenly, Xianxue's fingers touched the back of the token, which was somewhat uneven. It didn't look like the order.
The originally engraved pattern on the card was turned over and carefully examined, and there were two small fonts in the middle of the pattern. Although it was not easy to identify, Xianxue could see at a glance that it was her name engraved on it.
The token that could command the Western Chu army actually had her name engraved on it! After burying Helian Jingyun, she insisted on returning the token to Chu Qingyu, but he held her hand tightly and handed over the token.
When it came into her own hands, she was still joking.
"Qingyu, you are not afraid that I will use the token to order your army to rebel against you."
"Xianxue, if you really rebel against me, then you have secured the throne of Xichu, does that mean you can stay in Xichu forever?" Chu Qingyu smiled brightly, reminding Xianxue that only
Epiphyllum blooming at night.
"Qingyu, I solemnly request you not to show too much emotion to me. I can't give you anything in return."
"Xianxue, don't dominate my feelings anymore. No matter what the outcome is, it's my life. It's not that you can't afford it, it's that you don't love me. Since you don't love me, then, I beg you.
, don't stop me from loving you." Chu Qingyu held Xianxue's hand, but Xianxue took it back without a trace, holding Chu Qingyu's entire net worth tightly in her hand.
"Qingyu." Xianxue softly called Chu Qingyu's name, feeling a little sour in her heart. The abyss seemed to have no end. No one knew where Chu Qingyu would drift to.
"Qingyu, no matter what you have done to me, I still owe you an apology." Xianxue looked at the token and said.
The two little kids walked around and came to the stable. They saw an old donkey sandwiched among several horses. It looked like they were relaxing and relaxing with their eyes closed. The two little kids walked forward and looked at it curiously.
Old donkey. What the waiter said is right. Someone really led an old donkey to stay in a superior guest room. Couldn't he afford a horse?!
"Sister, have you ever ridden a donkey?" Jinbao asked.
Yinbao rolled his eyes at Jinbao, they were inseparable every day, why did she need to ask if she had ever ridden one before?
"Sister, I want to say, do you want to ride it?" Jinbao looked at the old donkey and wondered whether it could be ridden.
"Brother, please look out for me. I'll ride for a while, and then I'll switch to you, okay?" Yinbao said happily. The two of them had the same mind, and she naturally knew that her brother also wanted to give it a try.
"Okay." Jinbao nodded immediately, just as he meant.
Yinbao leaped forward and sat firmly on the donkey's back. The old donkey suddenly opened his eyes, stood up suddenly, rushed out of the stable and bumped into Jinbao. Yinbao was unsteady and almost fell off the donkey's back.
Come down.
"Sister, be careful!" Jinbao immediately flew up and sat on the old donkey's back, trying to subdue the old donkey.
"Brother, it seems that this old donkey, like our horse, recognizes its owner." Yinbao watched the old donkey rush out and was about to rush into the inn. At the same time, he turned over and landed on the ground. Yinbao raised his hand and
With a wave, a piece of white silk immediately wrapped around the old donkey's neck. Jinbao immediately grabbed the white silk in Yinbao's hand and pulled it back hard. The old donkey rushed forward hard, and the two little kids immediately hugged each other.
A big tree and an old donkey started a river.
"Moo!" The old donkey suddenly let out a scream, as if asking for help.
Suddenly, the hands of the two little boys were loosened and they almost fell to the ground. The white silk was broken into two pieces in the middle. One piece was in Yin Bao's hand, and the other piece was still wrapped around the old donkey's neck.
He immediately lay on the ground and gasped for air, as if he was about to die.
The two little kids looked at each other and didn't know what to do. They didn't mean to hurt the old donkey, they were just curious and wanted to ride it. Unexpectedly, the old donkey rushed into the inn. If his mother saw him, he would be killed again.
They were about to get angry. In a hurry, they used brute force to stop the old donkey. Now it was a joke. If the donkey died, they must have been in big trouble!
