Chapter 675: Seven-Five-Seven: Yelang Kingdom

As soon as he came out of the palace and returned to Prince Wei's Mansion, Chen Mo learned about Xiao Yunxi's pregnancy, which made him rush to Xiao Yunxi's wing immediately.

In Xiao Yunxi's room, Wu Mi and Xiao Ya were also there. Xiao Yunxi was sitting on the soft couch, looking at Xiao Ya who was about to feed him, and couldn't help but said: "Xiao Ya, I can't look like this for more than a month. It’s not long before I need anyone to serve me, I can just do it myself.”

With that said, he went to take the medicine bowl from Xiao Ya's hand.

Xiao Ya didn't give it to her: "Aunt, don't move. I have nothing to do anyway. Let me take care of you during your pregnancy."

"There is no need to be so careful. In the early stages of pregnancy, it is appropriate to go out for a walk more often, which is also good for the fetus." Wu Mi said.

"Princess, madam, the prince is here." At this time, the maid came in and informed.

Soon, Chen Mo walked in quickly and said excitedly: "Yun Xi, how are you? Let me take a look."

Seeing Chen Mo's excited expression, Xiao Yunxi's moist eyes also showed joy. She could see that Chen Mo valued the child in her belly. She stood up to greet her, but Chen Mo pushed her down first: "Sit down, no need." move."

"Husband, everything is fine. It's just that your pulse is a little weak. I just asked the kitchen to fry the anti-fetal medicine, and I'm drinking it now." Wu Mi said on Xiao Yunxi's behalf.

"What do you mean?" Chen Mo looked at Wu Mi.

"It should have something to do with Yun Xi's physique. I asked her before that she was cold due to the practice. Even though she hasn't practiced for more than a year, it still has some effects. But this is not a big problem. Miss Nalan just now also I've seen it, just eat more positive foods on weekdays," Wu Mi said softly.

"Don't worry, husband. When I was pregnant with our son, the doctor also said that my pulse was weak, but I'm fine now." Xiao Yunxi chuckled.

Chen Mo nodded and said to Xiao Ya next to him: "Xiao Ya, stay with your aunt more when you have nothing to do."

"Don't worry, husband." Xiao Ya nodded.

Chen Mo sat down next to Xiao Yunxi and touched her belly. He was still not pregnant yet, so he lowered his head and listened. There was no movement at all, and asked: "How long has it been?"

"Sister Mi said it was about a month. It should have happened when we were messing around on the boat that night last time." Xiao Yunxi's face turned slightly red.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly: "What about Mrs. Xiao?"

Wu Mi responded: "I went over to see it myself, but I wasn't as lucky as Yun Xi."

Hearing this, Chen Mo stopped paying attention and said: "I have already explained everything about the court. In two days, I will have to accompany Miss Nalan to the Western Regions. When I come back from the Western Regions, I will have free time. There should be more.”

Wu Mi and the others had heard Chen Mo talk about this a long time ago and were prepared in their hearts. Now they just have an accurate time. She said: "Husband, please go without worries. I have a concubine at home."

"Yes." Chen Mo is not worried at home. There are tens of thousands of troops in the capital, and Yue Ruyan and Wu Yanqing are also in charge.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell my husband. When Miss Nalan came over before, she casually mentioned that she was looking for a husband." Wu Mi suddenly thought of something and said.

"I'll go over and take a look."

…

The Western Region is just a geographical concept. It is not a country, but consists of many small countries. In fact, these small countries have large land areas, but their populations are not large. Some only have tens of thousands to 10,000. A few hundred thousand, no more than a million.

Because most of the Western Region is covered with yellow sand and there are very few oases, many countries' territories are no-man's land. If you don't have an acquaintance to guide you, you may get lost.

It is precisely for this reason that when Emperor Taizu founded the country, even if these countries in the Western Regions did not become vassal states of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu did not attack the Western Regions and only opened up a trade route.

The spices from the countries in the Western Regions are famous far and wide.

Among the countries in the Western Regions, the Xing clan of Yelang Kingdom has a very long history. Before the founding of the Song Dynasty, it was a hegemon in the Western Regions. At its peak, it controlled two-thirds of the oases in the Western Regions. Later, it experienced ups and downs. At the time of its worst decline, He only rules an oasis with a radius of fifty miles in the Western Region.

Before Jiazi, when the royal family of the Song Dynasty began to decline, the then monarch of the Xing family was a very talented person. He successively annexed several small countries in the Western Regions, with a vague intention of restoring the glory of his ancestors.

It's just that at that time, the Xing family monarch didn't know whether he was out of his mind or something, because the country he had just annexed was close to the Xiliang area of ​​the Song Dynasty, and he discovered an oasis in this area, so he thought about taking over this area, but unfortunately he encountered The Xiliang Qiang people were at their most glorious.

As a result, the Xing clan, which had just shown signs of revival, directly broke the legs of the Qiang people and lost the country they had just annexed. Just when the Qiang people wanted to continue advancing, they got lost in the yellow sand, so the Yelang Kingdom was also saved. country, but also lost the opportunity to return to the top.

The talented monarch of the Xing family at that time also failed to recover. He lived for more than ten years and died early.

The current monarch of Yelang Kingdom is the eldest son of that talented monarch. This son resembles his father and has some signs of surpassing his father. However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly suffered from a serious illness more than ten years ago and his lower body was paralyzed. He could not He got out of bed and walked around, and was unconscious for most of the day, leaving all political affairs to the third prince.

Although the third prince Xingyin was also born to the queen and was the legitimate son, he also had an elder brother who was the eldest son and was named the prince. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to participate in political affairs. However, it was less than three years since the monarch was paralyzed. , that prince also contracted the same disease as his father.

According to the explanation of the imperial doctor, it is hereditary.

But few people believed it. After all, the previous monarchs of the Xing family did not have this disease.

The capital of Yelang Kingdom.

In the residence of the third prince Xingyin.

It was less than an hour after the court meeting ended.

Although he manages political affairs, he is not a monarch after all. However, at this time, most of the court officials gathered in his house.

And these ministers are all excited because they are following the horse's lead.

At this moment, they are discussing something.

At that time, Lu Sheng's family members fled to Xiliang. They knew that Chen Mo would not let them go, so they fled to the Western Regions with others and were taken in by the Xing family. Now, Chen Mo's people found out where Lu Sheng's family members were. Then he came to take care of Xing's important people.

What they are discussing now is whether this person should be handed over.

Some ministers said that the late emperor died because of the collapse of the Qiang people in Xiliang, and Lu Sheng sent troops to destroy the Qiang people. Although his intention had nothing to do with their Yelang Kingdom, he was still their benefactor.

Now that Lu Sheng's family is in trouble, Ye Guolang cannot be ungrateful and hand him over.

Moreover, the reason why Yelang Kingdom agreed to protect Lu Sheng's family before was because they had received a lot of money from them.

It doesn't make sense to suddenly regret it now.

However, some officials held objections.

"I heard that King Wei of the Song Dynasty was not someone to be trifled with. Even Lu Sheng, King Chong and King Huai of the Song Dynasty fell into his hands. They were all top-grade warriors, and they were in the Great Song Dynasty. Song is also equivalent to a regent. If we don't make friends and offend him, causing him to use troops against us, with our current national strength, we may not be their opponent. "

"Your Highness, what Master Diao said is right. Moreover, I just finished the war with Gouding and Luowo. Although we won a complete victory, we also killed thousands of them and formed a blood feud. Now we will offend the Song Dynasty again." King Wei, this is really an unwise move." Another minister said.

The third prince Xingyin raised his hand: "I, Yelang, are separated from the Song Dynasty by hundreds of miles of yellow sand. Whether they can find us is another question. Marching and fighting are not merchants. For these people, they came all the way to fight us. It's not worth it at all. Moreover, the situation in the Song Dynasty is not easy now. The Jin Xia in the north is eyeing us. Even if they send troops to our court, not many people will come, so there is no need to be worried.

Even if they do come, I will have my own way. "

There was one more thing Xingyin didn't say. There were almost no people left, so what could he pay for it?

Seeing that the third prince spoke so confidently, the ministers bowed and left without saying anything more.

Not long after they left, a man in black robes wearing an ugly mask appeared in the hall.

The moment Xingyin saw the man in black robe, his face immediately showed respect and he bowed and saluted: "Master, are you here?"

The man in black robe nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Disciple, the blood food is ready this time."

"Master, everything is ready. There are many warriors among these people, and some of them are members of the Song Dynasty Emperor's family. They will definitely satisfy the master." Gou Yin said respectfully.

The man in black robe frowned under his mask: "People from the Song Dynasty royal family? Why are they here?"

"Some of them are the family members of King Chong of the Song Dynasty. I heard that King Chong was defeated and killed in a battle with King Wei of the Song Dynasty, and his family members fled here." Gou Yin said.

The black-robed man frowned a little more: "These people are not part of the plan."

"Master, there is nothing I can do about it. All the beggars, death row prisoners, and untouchables with no status in the country have been collected. If we arrest those people with status, once the number is large, people will be suspicious. This is also true of you, Master." I don’t want to see it.” Seemingly fearing that the man in black robe would be dissatisfied, Gou Yin added:

"Master, for your sake, my disciple has offended both Gouding and Lewo to death. Besides, Master, didn't you also say that this is the last group of people?"

"That's it." After saying that, the man in black robe was about to leave, but was stopped by Ju Yin.

Juyin rubbed his hands and said, "Master, the pill you gave me last time was very good. I wonder if there are any more?"

Hearing this, the man in black robe, who was originally a little cold to the couple, suddenly laughed sinisterly: "Who are you going to attack this time?"

Ju Yin didn't want to say it at first, but under the gaze of the man in black robe, he still said it: "Princess Yanyang."

The man in black robe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then the mask on his face trembled, which was because the corners of his mouth were twitching, and then he smiled and said: "Good disciple, my master really did not misjudge the person."

As he said that, the man in black robe threw out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve robe and said: "There are three more pills in it, enough for you to capture her."

After saying that, the man in black robe smiled and left.

…

other side.

Outside a house in Tianchuan.

Nalanyi knocked on the door. As soon as he finished knocking, an old voice sounded from behind the door: "Come in."

This house is not big, a house with two rooms and a yard.

There were some flowers and plants planted in the yard. These flowers and plants were of a variety that Chen Mo had never seen before. They were surrounded by some poisonous snakes and scorpions.

An old man with white hair and linen clothes was bent over, with one hand behind his back and a bamboo kettle in the other hand, watering the flowers.

The old man looked ordinary, different from ordinary old men, but in Chen Mo's eyes, he was actually a real warrior in the magical power realm.

"Grand Elder, I brought the King of Wei here." Nalan Yiren said to the old man after closing the gate.

Seeing that this person was the Grand Elder that Nalan Yiren was talking about, Chen Mo's expression became more serious, and he raised his hand and saluted: "Old sir, I am polite."

"No, no, I am just an old farmer who grows flowers and plants, and I don't deserve such a great gift from the King of Wei of the Song Dynasty." The Grand Elder of the Poison King Valley turned his head, waved his hand and smiled, but at this moment he suddenly coughed violently, and coughed out a mouthful of black blood in front of Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren.

The black blood spit on the ground, but it didn't splash like blood, but became a kind of sticky state.

Nalan Yiren's face changed, and she quickly walked forward to support the Grand Elder, and said in a panic: "Grand Elder, what's wrong with you?"

As she said, she cut her palm without thinking, and as the bright red blood overflowed, she handed it to the Grand Elder's mouth, obviously asking the other party to drink her blood.

But the elder waved his hand and said, "Yiren, no, it's useless."

"How can there be no, Taotie."

"This is caused by my poison cultivation." The elder interrupted Nalan Yiren.

Nalan Yiren was stunned: "Elder, have you cultivated to the ninth level?"

The elder nodded: "Forced entry cannot be reversed."

Hearing this, Nalan Yiren's body was shocked. She understood what this meant. Her eyes were a little red and moistened in a moment. For her, the elder and she had no blood connection, but in her heart, he was just like her grandfather. She trembled and said, "Why did you do this?"

"If my poison cultivation had been further improved, I would not let the beast escape. It has been fifteen years. What happened back then must never happen again."

"Then you can't force a breakthrough either." Nalan Yiren shed tears. She cried.

She knew that the elder had always felt guilty for not avenging her grandfather, even though she had said countless times that she didn't blame him, but the elder still couldn't let it go.

"Silly girl"

The elder took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out some medicine powder from it and sprinkled it on Nalan Yiren's wound: "Anyway, I don't have many years left to live, and I went to extremes when I entered the realm of magical powers. You can't let me go to see your grandfather with regrets."

The blood stopped flowing immediately after the medicine powder was sprinkled, and it scabbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nalan Yiren raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes: "I'm still here, avenging grandpa is my business, I can do it too."

The elder sighed: "With the talent of that beast, do you think he will not make any progress over the years?"
