199 Jin Ling Lingxiao Armor and the Capture of the Western Regions
"Yue Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting more and more beautiful."
Yan Wulu said, his left hand touched the tip of the other person's long black hair and slipped between the fingers.
Jiang Yueling was startled when he heard the sound, raised his head and turned around.
When she saw Yan Wulu, her face was slightly surprised at first, then turned into a smile, then she opened her hands and plunged into the other person's arms.
She spoke with some excitement and resentment——
"I, I thought that you would not arrive at Yanbei until the afternoon, and I thought I would pick you up then. Why, suddenly..."
"I missed you a little. So, when we were approaching Yanbei, I left the team and came back first."
Yan Wulu replied.
He placed the brocade box in his right hand between the two of them.
This brocade box is flat and rectangular, about four times the size of Yan Wulu's hand. It is exquisitely decorated, beautiful and luxurious.
Yan Wulu looked at Jiang Yueling and continued to say——
"Yue Ling, this is the gift I brought you from Jinling."
When Jiang Yueling heard this, she felt extremely happy.
She looked at the brocade box, thought about it several times, and then said -
"Brother Wu Lu, Yue Ling has never cared about the so-called gold and silver jewelry. In fact, instead of buying these things for me, you might as well buy them for Sister Chunhua. She might like them more."
"Yue Ling, of course I know you don't like gold, silver and jade. You open it first and see what it is, and then you can tell whether you like it or not."
While talking, Jiang Yueling slowly opened the brocade box.
It seemed as if golden light was emanating from the brocade box.
Then, there was a burst of rich and sweet smell...
"This...is..." Jiang Yueling was a little surprised.
"These are the finest pastries made by the most skilled pastry chefs at Yipinzhai in Jinling. The signature osmanthus cake and lotus seed cakes of Yipinzhai are also here."
Yan Wulu responded: "...Yue Ling, didn't you say in your letter some time ago that you have a bad appetite during this period? I remember that your favorite pastry was these pastries, so you specially ordered it from Jinling [Yipinzhai]
I brought these back with me."
When Jiang Yueling heard this, she was overjoyed for a moment. She was happy that Yan Wulu cared so much about her unintentional words.
But then, Jiang Yueling looked a little moved, "I have heard a long time ago that the pastries from Jinling [Yipinzhai] are very expensive, and the price is as good as gold."
"As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive."
"...Have a taste first."
Jiang Yueling was a little excited. She gently picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
Suddenly, Jiang Yueling, who was originally quiet and dignified, suddenly opened her eyes wide and said excitedly: "It's so delicious!"
"...I have never tasted such delicious osmanthus cake. It is much more delicious than anything I have made before!"
While talking, Jiang Yueling quickly took a few more pastries and stuffed them into her mouth.
Instantly, Jiang Yueling, who had a beautiful oval face, had her cheeks puffed up, like a cute little hamster.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Yan Wulu thought it was funny and advised.
Hearing this, Jiang Yueling nodded, then picked up another piece of lotus seed cake and handed it to Yan Wulu's mouth.
With something in her mouth, she said vaguely: "...Brother Wulu, you, you, try a piece, it's so delicious!"
Yan Wulu chuckled, and then took a deep bite...it was indeed delicious.
Jiang Yueling was slightly embarrassed...
After that, she looked at the brocade box, reacted, closed the brocade box immediately, and said——
"I can't eat any more. I have to leave a few pieces for Xiaobai, otherwise she will blame me for not leaving something delicious for her."
"noob?"
Yan Wulu thought of that time they met on a rainy night in Jinling. Bai Yue didn't like the title "Xiao Bai" very much, but she never corrected Jiang Yueling's name for her. It seemed that they got along really well.
Yan Wulu then noticed the word "you" in Jiang Yueling's words.
Is it possible that Jiang Yueling was scolded by Bai Yue before for not leaving something delicious for her?
But I feel like Bai Yue's "unruly and greedy" temperament should be blamed on Jiang Yueling.
"Don't worry Yue Ling, if you want to eat, just eat."
Yan Wulu said, he gently stroked the hair on the back of Jiang Yueling's head, "...I bought you a whole carriage of pastries from [Yipinzhai]."
"...If that's not enough, next time, I'll invite the pastry chef from [Yipinzhai] to come to Yanbei and ask him to make it just for you."
When Jiang Yueling heard this, her eyes widened like a kitten, "Wow, wow!"
"...If I have the chance, I would also like to learn how to make these delicacies from the pastry chef at [Yipinzhai], and then make them for you, Brother Wulu, to eat."
Yan Wulu chuckled upon hearing this. He pinched Jiang Yueling's cheek and agreed.
While the two were talking, Yan Wulu's eyes inadvertently glanced towards the casting platform.
On the casting platform is a piece of golden lion head armor with basically completed carving patterns.
Yan Wulu was a little curious and couldn't help asking -
"Yue Ling, do you want to carve this armor?"
"Create a pair of armor." Jiang Yueling said directly.
"...Brother Wulu, come and see."
As Jiang Yueling spoke, he placed the pastry box on the casting platform, took off the casting apron in front of him, and picked up the piece of animal head armor.
She then personally pulled Yan Wulu to a stone wall in the casting room.
The mechanism is pressed, the gear rotates, and the stone wall opens.
Behind the stone wall is a hidden compartment, inside which is a pair of refined new armors—
Dark gold iron leaves are piled into armor, with a gold animal mask belt tied around the waist, bright light breastplates on the front and back, surrounded by cloud patterns; a crimson floral robe with two green velvet ties hanging down;
There is a pair of diagonal step cloud boots underneath.
Jiang Yueling placed the golden lion head armor in her hand on the left shoulder of the armor.
A set of majestic and top-notch lion armor suddenly appeared in front of Yan Wulu.
Yan Wulu was slightly stunned.
Even though he is the prince of Zhenbei, this armor is the most majestic and exquisite he has ever seen.
There was still a vague aura flickering on the armor.
I am afraid that the forger spent a lot of energy and spiritual energy to forge it, and it has even transcended ordinary weapons, and can be regarded as a level one treasure among magic weapons.
Jiang Yueling was instantly satisfied when she saw Yan Wulu looking like this.
She opened her mouth and said——
"This is the armor I made specifically for you, Brother Wulu."
"...It's made based on the impression of your figure in Yue Ling's mind, but it should fit you well."
"...Brother Wulu, try it on and see how you feel."
With Jiang Yueling's recommendation and help, Yan Wulu put on this exquisite armor.
For a moment, Yan Wulu's originally tall and elegant figure became even more powerful because of this armor.
The temples are like knife cuts, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like white jade, and the eyes are like autumn waves.
The cold and clanging sound of the armor made Yan Wulu's originally smiling and friendly appearance become filled with a sense of solemnity.
Even though he is angry, he still smiles and looks at him with affection.
He is really a young and handsome man, majestic and has the air of a hero.
Yan Wulu didn't expect that this armor fit him so well.
He couldn't help but realize that Jiang Yueling was so familiar with his body shape.
"Yue Ling, what did you name this armor?" Yan Wulu suddenly asked.
Jiang Yueling tilted her head slightly, considered it for a moment, and then replied: "I think it should be called 'Golden Ni Lingxiao Armor'."
"...I hope that Brother Wulu, you can be like this lion, commanding hundreds of beasts and having the ambition to reach the sky."
Yan Wulu smiled.
He approached and hugged Jiang Yueling very carefully, trying his best not to squeeze the other person's waist and abdomen.
"Yue Ling, thank you very much."
Yan Wulu said, changing the topic slightly, "...but you are pregnant, and you even made armor specifically for me. This kind of hard work should not be done by you."
Jiang Yueling's face lit up when she heard this, and she hugged him back.
"No need to thank you. Brother Wulu, haven't you always been thinking about me? You even brought back these pastries that are worth gold just because of my words."
"...Besides, these are nothing. When my mother-in-law was pregnant with me, she also embroidered a picture of mountains and rivers for my father."
"...Yue Ling thought, I am not as good as A Niang, so I might as well do something I am good at, such as making a suit of armor that suits you."
Jiang Yueling said.
She hugged him quietly, but she couldn't feel the coldness between the armor at all.
She originally had many things that she wanted to tell Yan Wulu, but at this moment, when she saw the other person, she couldn't say anything and just wanted to watch the other person quietly.
Yan Wulu also hugged each other.
He leaned forward slightly and kissed Jiang Yueling's forehead.
"Thank you, Yue Ling."
Jiang Yueling chuckled when she heard this. She stood up on tiptoes and kissed her, then she said——
"I've said it before, brother Wulu, you don't need to say thank you to me."
…
Yan Wulu met Jiang Yueling in Zhujiafang.
The two chatted for a while, and soon left together in a carriage, heading towards Zhenbei Palace.
Inside Zhenbei Palace.
On the day Yan Wulu returned to the palace, he summoned Cheng Huanian, Zhu Gongqi, Yan Tiange, Guo Wei, Wu Yuechang and other military generals. At the same time, he summoned Chen Danyang, Lai Junchen, Wang Zhaomin and other palace officials.
Looking at the ministers of the Northern Territory in the hall, he announced:
"My father will be in Jinling during these days to participate in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony with His Majesty, and I will take care of all matters in the North."
The generals and ministers responded accordingly.
This heaven-sacrifice ceremony is held almost every year in Daqian.
But this year, for some reason, Yan Wulu always felt as if he was extraordinarily different from other years.
After the initial meeting with these generals and ministers, Yan Wulu asked them all to step aside and perform their respective duties.
The former chief torturer is old and has retired in the past few days.
Yan Wulu approved and promoted his adopted son, Lai Junchen, who is now the most meritorious among the torture divisions, to become the new chief torture officer.
Yan Wulu also handed the black box containing the immortal soul to Lai Junchen.
He said——
"As the new chief interrogator, you must achieve something incredible that sounds incredible, so that you can truly stand firm and leave your name in history."
"...This is the soul of an immortal. I believe you can bring me what I want."
Lai Junchen bowed and saluted to reassure Yan Wulu.
He asked Yan Wulu, what is the bottom line when it comes to treating this soul?
Yan Wulu thought for a while.
He doesn't quite understand that since they are all one soul, is there any other bottom line?
"I just need someone to tell me what I want to know."
"...As for other things, I don't care at all."
When Junchen came out after receiving the order, he said, "Within fifteen days, Junchen will definitely be able to come back and resume his duties."
…
Yan Wulu abides by the agreement with Qiling, the sacred beast of the beast tribe.
He released the green dragon protector of the beast tribe, the "double-winged blood-winged snake" that attacked him together with Yi Junhan.
That guy had a tenacious vitality, and after getting the information he wanted, the torturers actually didn't care about him much anymore without orders from above.
Now, it seems to have almost recovered.
...It seems that the physical recovery ability of the orcs is indeed among the best among all races.
When the winged snake was released, it was still a bit unbelievable.
Come to think of it, it thought that it would be imprisoned in a dungeon for the rest of its life, or that it would die suddenly that day.
Before leaving, Yi Snake met Bai Yue and talked for a long time before leaving.
…
Yi Xiangtian was captured.
Master Su Xin and others from the Wulin Alliance were ready to say goodbye and leave after arriving at Yanbeicheng.
They wanted to ask Yan Wulu for prisoners such as Yi Xiangtian.
However, Yan Wulu said——
"There seems to be no grudge or grudge between Yi Xiangtian and the Wulin Alliance."
"...Master Su Xin asked for Yi Xiangtian from my Zhenbei Palace, not for the sake of the Wulin Alliance. Come to think of it, it doesn't seem to be for herself. Is there some deep-seated reason behind this?"
Master Su Xin couldn't answer for a while.
Yan Wulu finally adopted a compromise approach with them.
He handed over She Chiman, the leader of the Demonic Church of the Western Regions, Li Jinfeng, the "martial arts idiot" of the Five Immortals Villa in the Western Regions who was often hostile to the Martial Arts Alliance, and some notorious martial arts masters who were hunted down by the Martial Arts Alliance with rewards, and handed them over to Master Su Xin and others.
go back.
But Yi Xiangtian was left behind.
Although Master Su Xin and others still seemed to have something to say, thinking about it, this was Yanbeicheng after all, and it was impossible for me to forcefully change the other party's decision by force.
He said no more and took She Chiman, Li Jinfeng and others back to resume their duties.
After Master Su Xin and others left.
Yan Wulu specially summoned the secret agent Ling Zhi.
The latter is in charge of the entire secret guard system of the Zhenbei Palace, and his ability to control the intelligence system is not inferior to that of the master of the Dagan Secret Sect.
Inside the palace hall.
Secret Agent Lingzhi stepped forward respectfully and saluted.
"Please get up."
Yan Wulu held his hand slightly in the air, and then continued to speak——
"I came to you to discuss... secretly seizing control of the Western Region."
Yan Wulu got straight to the point.
Detective Chief Ling Zhi raised his head slightly, he seemed a little stunned.
After thinking about it for a while, Ling Zhi replied——
"His Royal Highness, return to the throne and seize control of the Western Region. Your Majesty, did you not give such orders?"
"My father did not say anything when he left the Northland."
Yan Wulu spoke slowly, his words full of calmness, "...but that's because the head of the Yi family, Yi Xiangtian, was still in the Western Region at that time, but today is different from the past, and Yi Xiangtian has become a prisoner in my hands.
"
"...The Western Region is almost a terra incognita."
