Chapter 99 Black Sand Worm [2/5]
Outside Yunzhou, there are three hundred miles of old river ancient road.
This place is called Jiujiang, but it is actually because there was a rushing river here hundreds of years ago.
There was no spiritual energy revival at that time, nor did there be a country of Xu. Here, some ancestors relied on both sides of the river basin to live and work in peace and contentment.
Unfortunately, as the scope of human activities increased, the barbarians who were good at invasion began to march towards fertile land, which was undoubtedly a huge disaster for ancestors who were interested in production, resulting in the devastation of life and the land of China.
Later, a hero named Xu led a spontaneous village group to break the river. The rushing river instantly brought the invading barbarians into the bottom of the river. All these barbarians who were not good at water were buried in the belly of fish. After decades of war, the people finally settled and merged into one, and the country of Xu was found.
However, the current royal family Xu is actually not a descendant of that hero. But to commemorate that hero, no matter who has received the throne, he will change his family surname to Xu.
Of course, these historical anecdotes are just a few strokes in historical records. After all, they were already happening hundreds of years ago. If someone hadn't specifically studied and read them, basically no one would have cared about it.
"It's ridiculous that the royal family regards themselves as the surname Xu, but abandons their surname!"
King Qingqing, leaning against the low couch, threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the small table, picked a grape and put it in his mouth, which was cool and sweet.
At this time, the carriages and horses were rumbled, and it was still far away from Yuyang Pass. King Qing was not in a hurry. He didn't want to catch up with the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying everywhere.
It is best if the war has just ended and is about to reward merit and merit, I will appear in front of Master Xiao He at the right time and take a look at the other party's expression like eating a fly.
"Go and catch a bug and show me!"
He ordered calmly.
This sentence has no beginning or end, and there is no need to ask who to catch it, but no matter whether the person rushes the car or the entourage beside him, or the young man riding a horse and walking next to the car, there is no surprise and deaf ears.
The grass beside it shook for a while, and the branches dozens of meters away shook, and then a metallic flash passed through the sky.
The two figures rushed to the sky hand in hand and headed straight for the black insect cloud hundreds of meters away!
The young man in white who was riding a horse glanced at it and exclaimed softly: "Guo Gu's skills are a little more superb, so it's worth mercy to the prince's trip to Yunzhou..."
"snort!"
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly heard a cold snorkeling from the carriage, and hurriedly stopped and kept silent.
After a while, the sound continued to come from the carriage.
"This trip to Yunzhou, Gouzi's affairs were just a matter of doing it. However, the planning of the Li family and the Yin family failed, which was something I had never thought about before."
The young man in white could only lower his head and listen, surprised.
This is the first time he heard that the prince confessed that something was wrong that he did not expect.
You should know that the prince has been smart since childhood and is even more amazing when he becomes an adult, but because of some things, he needs to restrain his edge and even need to spend time in the storm to defile himself.
However, the prince's judgment on the situation in the world and the possible inference of the direction of development have always been extremely accurate.
Of course, this is not only because the prince is full of wisdom, but also because there is an institution dedicated to inquiries about news, Tingfeng Pavilion.
The identity of this young man in white is the third leader of Tingfeng Pavilion, so he knows very well what a huge organization the institution he manages has now developed into!
It is precisely because of this that the members of Tingfeng Pavilion have always been very confident, believing that there is no secret that they do not know and no information they cannot find out about.
This has been true in recent years, especially in the past year, after King Qing spared no effort to train, the strength of Tingfeng Pavilion has increased greatly. With the support of their information, the Red House, the most secret executive institution of the Prince Qing Mansion, has accomplished several major events.
Unexpectedly, even though Tingfeng Pavilion is so powerful, there are still mistakes this time!
"The subordinates are incompetent!"
This young man in white has no name, and he may have one, but when he became the Lord of Tingfeng Pavilion, he had only one name, that is, Baiyi.
"Baiyi, don't say such things in the future."
King Qing said lazily, "You ordered by me personally. If you are incompetent, wouldn't it prove that I don't know what I know?"
"I don't dare!" Baiyi quickly apologized again.
"This is not entirely your fault. After all, people often deliberately create things like the masters of the temple to make a name for themselves. In addition, I have issued an order and will not reach out for the time being. Your verification ability in this regard is a little weak, which is understandable."
King Qing said casually, Baiyi nodded, and was about to say something, suddenly a black shadow flashed, and a figure rushed into the car with a flash of metal!
Baiyi was not surprised, but immediately stopped the horse and raised her hand to signal the rest of the guards to stop and let the carriage continue to drive forward.
In the carriage, a puppet figure made of metal was kneeling on one knee, holding a thick demon insect in his arms.
The demon insect seemed to be a juvenile body, only half a person tall, twisting desperately in the arms of the puppet. It was not known whether it was exhaling or trying to spit out poison, but it kept making a broken sound. It turned out that the mouth had been torn open by brute force, and the mouth was covered with black and gray, as if it had been violently burned.
Whether it is the weird puppet doll or the monster worm that struggles and twists in his arms, if ordinary people see it, they will feel extremely frightened and wish to escape immediately.
"Oh? Black Sand Worm." King Qing nodded and reached out to touch the demon worm's skin with interest.
This is not the first time he has seen such a demon insect.
In fact, the first time I saw it was back to when Xu Lie personally led the army and he was reigning the country as a prince.
At that time, there happened to be a group of demon insects sent back to Kyoto on the border. He was very interested in this and observed them closely, but they were already stiff corpses at that time, which was completely different from the current state of living.
"How did these demon insects move in the wind?"
King Qing continued to touch it twice, said to himself, then waved his hand, and the puppet turned into a gust of wind again, and left the carriage with the demon insect in his arms.
King Qing picked up the towel and handkerchief beside him and wiped his hands, throwing it out of the window.
Baiyi waved his hand again to order the guard to follow, and he rode his horse and took two steps back to the carriage.
"It's getting late, so find a suitable place nearby and set up a camp temporarily. Let's set off at noon tomorrow to continue the journey!" King Qing ordered casually.
"Yes!" Baiyi immediately bowed and said yes, and then began to convey orders, and his own relevant personnel looked for a location and settled the supplies.
The convoy stopped, and King Qing walked out of the carriage. He first glanced at the dark insect clouds in the sky, then turned to look at the scenery of the ancient road of the old river, sighed: "Walking for 300 miles, the wind and rain crossed the river! How brave was this hero named Xu back then that made Tai Shi Xiao give such a high evaluation!"
Behind King Qing, the white clothes looked at King Qing's back blending into the vicissitudes and desolate scenery of the old river road, and there was a feeling of witnessing the occurrence of history little by little!
