Chapter 289 Yutie Yulan Visitors From the Sea

The sky is blue and the clouds are white.

Last night, Xiaoyaozi and the rest of the Mo family wanted to take advantage of Prince Qin's first arrival and take back the Feathering Pill in his hand while his footing was still uncertain. Unexpectedly, someone took the lead, and it was the failure of that assassination that temporarily put Xiaoyaozi and others' plan to seize the pill on hold.

When the group of people retreated to the Mo family's stronghold outside Songhai City, it happened to rain heavily. However, the rain in summer falls quickly and stops quickly. By the time the sun rises at noon the next day, are there any traces of rain?

"Which force assassinated Prince Qin last night? Xiaozhi, have you found out clearly?"

In the room where the six leaders of the Mo family were discussing matters, Gao Jianli asked Tao Zhi who had just returned.

Pirate Zhi shook his head and said: "No. But this matter has spread throughout Songhai overnight, and now everyone in the world knows that Prince Qin has come to Songhai. I can't see it for two days, and the entire Qilu Everyone should know it. The purpose of the person behind it should not be that simple. "

"What Thief Zhi said is not unreasonable." Xiaoyaozi nodded. As the head of the Taoist sect and an ally of the Mohist sect, Xiaoyaozi would be invited to the meeting by the Mohist sect as long as it did not involve the core secrets of the Mohist sect. business strategies.

Everyone's eyes turned to Xiaoyaozi, and they heard him continue: "Last night's assassins all dived from the sea, and did not alert Prince Qin's guards at Haiyue Xiaozhu. He can have such excellent water properties and cultivation level. Those who are extraordinary should not be ordinary people in the world."

"Indeed, but what do the forces behind these assassins plan to do?" Master Ban asked.

"Let Prince Qin's whereabouts be exposed to the broad daylight. When everyone's eyes are on him, it will be difficult for Prince Qin to do what he wants to do!" Gao Jianli thought for a while and said.

"If Leader Gao Jianli's speculation is correct, then the person who sent the assassin this time is probably not a force in the world, but from within the empire." Xiaoyaozi said.

"Dear leaders, Xiang Liang, the leader of the Xiang clan, and Xiang Shaoyu, the young master, have arrived outside the village." While the meeting was going on, the Mohist disciples outside suddenly reported back.

The people in the house were quite surprised by the sudden visit of the Xiang family.

"Please come quickly." Gao Jianli and others got up and went to greet them. After greeting them, they invited Xiang Liang and Xiang Shaoyu into the house.

"What's going on? As soon as Shaoyu and I arrived at Songhai, we heard about Prince Qin's assassination last night." Xiang Liang asked after everyone sat down.

Gao Jianli told about the pill grabbing with Xiaoyaozi last night and everyone's speculation just now.

"So that's it!" Xiang Liang nodded and said.

"Brother Xiang Liang, if you hadn't been ordered by His Highness Xiong Xin to recruit old troops in Chu, how could you have the time to come to Songhai?" Gao Jianli asked.

"I got news in Chu that His Highness Xiong Xin was missing. I was worried, so I came with Shao Yu to look for him. Moreover, Shao Yu also said that he missed Tianming, so he came to Sanghai to visit the brothers of the Mo family." Xiang Liang said. Now that the affairs of the entire Xiang clan in Chu are being handled by Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang has nothing to worry about. But Xiong Xin's disappearance made him worried. Because all the actions of the Xiang family in the Chu region, including gathering old tribes and recruiting Chu ministers, etc., were all carried out in the name of Young Master Xiong Xin.

˙"I wonder if Mr. Xiaoyao has any news about His Highness Xiong Xin?"

"Wangqing disappeared suddenly that day, and no one knew his whereabouts. Afterwards, I also had disciples from Renzong secretly search for him, but no news was found." Xiaoyaozi sighed helplessly when talking about his own disciple.

"Is that so?" Xiang Liang looked confused and sighed. I thought that Renzong and the Mo family might have news about His Highness Xiong Xin, but who knows, they still found nothing.

"Big event!" Cook Ding ran into the meeting place where the Mohist leader was meeting, panting.

"What's wrong?" Gao Jianli asked.

"Prince Qin's subordinate Shi Lan came to see me at Youjian Inn this morning and asked me to go to Haiyue Xiaozhu to cook for Prince Qin."

"Shi Lan!" After hearing the news, Xiang Shaoyu had the biggest reaction in the room. At this moment, Xiang Shaoyu has lost a lot of fat after Chu Di's training, and his eyesight has become sharp again.

Xiang Shaoyu's strangeness quickly caught the attention of the people in the room. He looked embarrassed and explained: "I have had some fights with her, but I didn't expect that she was Prince Qin's subordinate."

"But what worries me is that Shi Lan's words are very strange. It makes Fatty Ding feel like she is not from Prince Qin." Cook Ding touched his head and said. He didn't pay much attention to Xiang Shaoyu.

"What did Shi Lan say?"

"Shi Lan said to reassure me that she would not tell Prince Qin about what she experienced at Youjian Inn and the people she met."

"Cook Ding, you once said that Shi Lan's behavior was very strange, and you suspected that she was related to the mysterious Shu Mountain." Gao Jianli asked as if confirming.

"Yes, I once discovered that Shi Lan can use strange symbols, and she also has contacts with some strangely dressed people. Looking at the clothes, she looks like someone from the land of Bashu."

"I remember that a few years ago, Prince Qin led his troops to attack Shushan. If Shi Lan really came from Shushan, then he was probably coerced by Prince Qin and had no choice but to obey his orders."

"Yes, it must be like this!" After hearing the news, Xiao Pang Dun's face suddenly turned red and he clapped his hands. No one in the room was more excited than Xiang Shaoyu when he heard the news.

Gao Jianli ignored Xiang Shaoyu. To be precise, it was difficult to reveal Xiang Shaoyu's thoughts. He said to Cook Ding: "No matter what, this is good news. When you go to Haiyue Xiaozhu, you can meet Shi Landuo Contact her and test her background. If possible, we might not be able to bring her to our side in the future."

"No, Shi Lan has been sent by Prince Qin to assist me. She will supervise all three meals a day, from grocery shopping to cooking. If she really is not of the same mind as Prince Qin, then things will be much easier to handle." Chef Ding waved his hand, puffed out his belly, and said with a smile.

"Yes. If our people can lurk to Prince Qin, this may not be a good intelligence channel." Gao Jianli agreed. He never wanted to use this channel to poison Prince Qin. Not only is this stupid, but it will also cost Cook Ding his life.

After a meeting, the chef Ding was about to leave, but he was greeted by Little Fatty.

Xiang Shaoyu pulled Cook Ding under the pear tree in the courtyard outside the house, put his arm around Cook Ding's shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Brother Cook Ding, I heard that your cooking skills are astonishing, and I am crying. There are few people in the world who can match it. I have also been thinking about it for a long time." , can you find an opportunity for me to see it too."

Chef Ding also had a bad smile on his face at this moment. Xiang Shaoyu's two abnormal behaviors in the room just now had already attracted his attention, and he said: "Well! This flattery is very useful to me, Fatty Ding. Tell me, are you kid?" Do you like that Shi Lan?"

Little Fatty nodded and said, "I know that Brother Cook Ding is smart and can see through my mind at a glance."

"Okay, okay!" Cook Ding waved his hand as if he couldn't stand your knowledgeable look, "Shi Lan and I are going to the East Market to buy groceries tomorrow morning. Do you want to go with me?"

"That's the best." Xiang Shaoyu said expectantly.

….

Haiyue Xiaozhu.

Ying Ziyi was wearing a long moon-white dress and was half lying on a fur mattress.

"Have you found out the origin of the assassin last night?"

Chen Ping knelt down behind the short table in front of Ying Ziyi and replied: "His Royal Highness should already have the answer."

The assassins last night didn't leave a single person alive. Chen Ping guessed that Ying Ziyi already knew the origins of those assassins before taking action.

"Other than the Jixia Death Soldiers, which other force can have so many masters who are familiar with water properties?"

"That's true." Chen Ping smiled and said, "It was the Tian family that did it, but the order came from Lord Chang Wen."

"Oh? My eldest brother doesn't seem to be calming down! I've caused him so much trouble, no wonder he's a little anxious." Ying Ziyi smiled and said nonchalantly.

"Indeed, although the Yin Yang Family's journey to transport the Immortal Gathering Pill is top secret, how can it be possible to hide it all with so many forces in the world watching? In the past few days alone, the Yin Yang Family's team transporting the pill has encountered five or six large-scale attacks. There are countless small-scale interceptions and killings. The power of the peasant family is also involved. However, the peasant family, under the leadership of Tian Yan, is relatively restrained for the time being. "

"Without the peasant family, the remaining Jianghu forces are still difficult for the Yin Yang family to break their muscles and bones. The mirage has set sail and will soon arrive at Songhai. I am afraid that my eldest brother will also be busy. "

"There are problems one after another with the forces under my command. I'm afraid Young Master Fusu is also very angry! But if the people of the Yin and Yang family cannot be sent to the mirage within the time limit, then Young Master Fusu, who is in charge of His Majesty's Eastern Tour this time, will not only Losing face will leave an impression of incompetence on the entire empire. Young Master Fusu, I am afraid he is troubled by these things now!" Chen Ping said, picking up the wine bottle on the short table and sipping it gently One mouthful.

"The peasant family is now restrained by Sheng Qi, the Taoist family is busy with the matter of Yu Hua Dan, and there is only one Mo family left. However, the Mo family is now wanted by the empire, and my eldest brother cannot expose them to the public. In this way As a result, the number of available men under him has been reduced a lot."

"Your Highness, are you worried?" Chen Ping asked with a strange smile on his face.

"If he can't complete the task on time, I will be in a lot of trouble here." Ying Ziyi picked up the wine bottle on the short table and said with a smile.

"Then why does His Highness put up so many obstacles?" Chen Ping said jokingly.

"If we don't let them run so hard, how can we carry out our future plans?" Ying Ziyi asked with a smile.

"Haha!" Chen Ping smiled, but his smile suddenly froze. He turned his head slightly, and a swordsman in black appeared in the second-floor attic. He knelt down and said, "Your Highness, Lord Monkey has sent a new message."

Ying Ziyi took the bamboo tube from the swordsman in black, took out the silk strip, looked at it, and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has taken action."

Chen Ping took the silk strip from Ying Ziyi's hand, frowned slightly, and said, "Meng Yi led the secret guards to join the Yin Yang family in escorting the elixir?"

"The Meng clan is deeply trusted by the Emperor of Qin. Meng Tian leads the army outside, and Meng Yi leads the secret guards inside. With Meng Yi's ability, it seems that those forces who want to gather the elixir are going to suffer."

"Among the generals of the Qin Dynasty, only the Meng family has always been neutral between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Fusu, and is only loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Over the years, although Wuchecheng has had trade relations with the Meng family, it has been in a general way and never in depth. His Majesty the Emperor has sent the Shadow Guard here, I wonder what impact it will have on His Highness’s plan?”

Chen Ping was a little worried about this sudden variable in the plan.

"It doesn't matter, if..."

Before Ying Ziyi finished speaking, he felt an extremely powerful aura coming from above the sea.

There is no cover for this powerful aura, and it comes like an overwhelming force. Even an ordinary soldier in Haiyue Xiaozhu can feel the pressure brought by this aura. It makes people feel that it is not legendary. The giant beast from the sea is coming.

Mu Xuzi was the one with the biggest headache among them all. He took charge of the guards around Prince Qin for only one day and night, but he suffered so many changes one after another. First, there was an unknown assassination last night. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince was fine. Today I met such an expert with unknown origin again.

Mu Xuzi was once an elder of the Renzong, so naturally he would not be as ignorant as the Qin soldiers around him. The power contained in this aura was something he had seen in his own life, and he had a similar feeling only when facing Master Beiming of Tianzong.

In other words, the person who came here was a master who was not inferior to Master Beiming. Fortunately, the visitor didn't have any hostility, otherwise, he might have to confess here today.

But even so, Mu Xuzi still didn't dare to relax at all, because he knew that for a master of that level, hostility was just something superfluous.

Soon, Mu Xuzi looked far away and saw a man covered in black clothes walking on the sea, walking step by step. Beside him, there was a little girl.

That person's cultivation level was so high that it almost made Mu Xuzi feel like an illusion. Even if an ordinary master of Qinggong reaches the pinnacle, it is impossible to reach the realm of that black-robed man. Stepping on the sea is like stepping on flat ground.

The distant distance was only a moment under the man's feet. Soon, he brought the girl close to Haiyue Xiaozhu.

"Who dares to break into Prince Qin's palace?" Mu Xuzi shouted loudly. Even though his heart was pounding, he had to say it.

"His Excellency Donghuang has arrived at Haiyue Xiaozhu. I am not welcoming you from afar, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful." Ying Ziyi stood outside the corridor of the second-floor attic, with his hands behind his back, looking at Donghuang Taiyi and Gao Yue beside him, smiled.
