Therefore, when he learned that Baili Bing had only sent Lu Li to help, he felt as if someone had poured ice water on him, which chilled his heart.
But taking into account the reputation of Lu Li and Shang Guo, he had no choice but to treat him politely, for fear of neglecting him.
He knew clearly that he might be humiliating himself by asking, but he had to ask. Simeng and Yifeng seemed to be venturing deep into the tiger's den, and he couldn't just sit back and wait for death.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became silent. When Sima Luocheng was in confusion, he finally heard Lu Li say slowly: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Lu Li was just joking with you. Although Lu Li has practiced immortal magic for many years,
Never killed. Not to mention 200,000 lives, not even a single ant was injured."
Hearing this, Sima Luocheng was furious. However, it was difficult for him to offend him because he was facing a powerful enemy. He could only frown and asked, "I wonder what the high priest meant by this?"
Knowing that he was in a hurry, Lu Li still took his time and said after a moment: "Our Shang Kingdom's 100,000 troops have already assembled outside Wuyuan Pass. They only need an order from my Lord to enter the Pass to aid the Yun Kingdom. But..." He
After a pause, his eyes flashed, and then he said: "I think your Majesty has heard about my Majesty's illness for a long time. Although she has been on the throne for many days, she never dared to come to the court. She only asked questions about politics from behind the curtain. Lu Li is incompetent.
I have searched all over Jiuzhou and still can't find that crucial medicine, and the refined elixir has never been effective. However, I heard the day before yesterday..."
Sima Luocheng listened to him for a long time and already understood what he was thinking. Before he finished speaking, he said: "The high priest said it bluntly, but the medicine you need happens to be in my country of Yun? Yushan? Mangshan?
Or is it in Gu's Chaoyang Palace? The high priest said it's okay, and Gu immediately ordered someone to go get it."
Seeing how readily he agreed, Lu Li's lips twitched and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, don't be surprised! It's not that Lu Li didn't say anything, it's just that Lu Li is still not sure that this thing is the medicine I'm looking for..."
Outside Xizhou City, the low-pitched and heavy surrender drum sounded for seven times and then stopped. Then a soft and melodious voice came, loudly saying: "The Imperial Master of the State of Yun has come to pay homage to the Young Master of your country on the order of Your Majesty!"
As soon as she finished speaking, soldiers in the Xia army camp were ordered to make way for the Yun envoy.
I saw Shi Meng waving the plain white silk handkerchief in her hand, with a flattering smile on her beautiful and flawless face, and nodded slightly towards the soldiers lined up neatly on both sides.
Even though she was a little nervous when she faced such a big battle for the first time, she felt a lot more at ease with Yi Feng by her side.
Now I just straightened my back, walked lightly, and walked slowly towards the golden tent in the distance. I actually had the illusion that a superstar was attending a premiere and walking on the red carpet.
By chance, I could faintly hear some soldiers on both sides talking in low voices, "I thought that the rumor was false, but I didn't expect that the Imperial Preceptor of Yun State is really a woman!"
"Isn't that true? I don't know if it's true. You can see that she is clearly dressed like a man. There is no trace of a woman."
"Perhaps he is actually a man, but he is just a bit prettier..."
Their voices were actually very small. It was a pity that although her and Yifeng's spiritual power was not as strong as it was in Lijing, they were currently less than ten feet apart, so it was difficult not to hear other people's gossip.
She couldn't help curling her lips and roaring in her heart, "Brothers, please open your eyes and take a closer look. How does this girl look like a man? She must be old! Being so close, I'm just wearing men's clothes.
Forget it, if you can’t even see this, why fight? Humph! Have you ever seen such a curvy man? Really!"
She was walking forward with big strides, but she vaguely heard the person next to her let out a long breath. Her feet stopped, and she looked sideways at him, carelessly, her mind wandering without knowing where, her blue eyes were empty and blank, staring blankly.
The way forward.
In fact, she always felt a little strange after he came back this time, but the war was urgent at that time, and she only asked him to deliver the message to Bingzhou, so she had no time to ask more questions.
When we met again today, Lu Li and Sima Luocheng were beside us, and we didn't have the chance to talk to him properly.
They were still some distance away from Gong Ziliang's golden tent. They were walking on foot, and it would take at least one stick of incense to reach the tent.
"Chongchong, are you worried?"
"It's okay!" Yifeng stopped thinking and was stunned for a moment, but did not stop.
The more he behaved like this, the more Shi Meng felt that something was wrong. Regardless of whether he was in the enemy camp or that they were going to Longtan Tiger's Den, he reached out and grabbed his sleeves, forcing him to slow down and whispered: "Obviously
Yes! Don't try to hide it from me! Is it because the injury in Phoenix Mountain last time hasn't healed yet? Where is Caixi? Isn't her mother very powerful? Why didn't she come out with you this time? But it made her angry,
They don’t want you anymore?”
Facing her repeated questioning, Yifeng was helpless, but still dodged and remained silent.
His uncharacteristic behavior made Shi Meng more and more curious. What happened to him after he left Phoenix Mountain? When they met at the General's Mansion that day, she should have asked him clearly as soon as possible.
Now that she had something important to do and was in the public eye, he refused to say anything and she couldn't use force, so she had no choice but to throw off his sleeves angrily and strode forward on her own.
Yifeng knew that she was angry with him, but he really didn't know how to express the truth on his mind.
He originally wanted to tell her when he came back from Bingzhou, but he never found the right time. Ever since he left Xize and came to the world to look for Ximeng, the image of Caixi being tortured in the ice floating cave has always been lingering in his mind. If
If Kunai had no chance, he wouldn't hold back and not say anything yet.
Seeing that she was angry now, even though he knew that this was not the place to talk, he didn't care so much. He took two steps to catch up with Simeng and said: "Meng'er, don't be angry. It's not that I meant to hide it from you. It's really not true.
I’ll tell you in detail when I get the chance, and since you asked me today, I’ll just tell you.”
Hearing this, Xi Meng's figure sluggishly turned around and stared at him. Sure enough, there was still a touch of sadness hidden in his blue eyes, just like the Yifeng in the past.
She felt that her tone just now was too harsh, so she got closer to him again, the hands in her wide sleeves secretly tugged on the corners of his clothes, followed his pace and slowly moved forward, saying: "Chongchong, isn't it Cai Chong?"
Xi's mother didn't agree with you being together? Did she drive you out of Xizawa Valley?"
She thought he was lovelorn, but she didn't expect him to shake his head blankly and said: "It's not what Meng'er thought, but..."
Hearing that Caixi had swallowed forbidden drugs to save him and was now being tortured by ice and fire in that ice spring, Xi Meng felt moved and sad at the same time.
She always thought that the little colorful bird that chirped every day only wanted to eat and argue with her. Even the fact that she fell in love with Yifeng was a bit of a joke to her, and she just thought she was attracted by his handsome face for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Cai Que was actually moved by his true feelings, and would rather risk his life to save his beloved.
