The establishment of MI7 in the palace also required the guidance and implementation of Russell. In short, it was busy day and night.
At this time, De La Serre was on his way to the pasture orchard. Nayan's mother had expanded the pasture and orchard in the past few days, and had troops stationed around, waiting for De La Serre to come with livestock and fruit tree seedlings.
This was the first time for De La Serre to come to the ranch. This was originally the place where Grandpa De La Serre raised low-level exotic beasts. The location was a bit remote. Later, the Yan family became the lords of the city and had a place that specialized in cultivating low-level exotic beasts.
The place is located closer to Nanshan City, so it was abandoned.
Although the ranch has been abandoned for a long time, many facilities are still usable. Then Yan Mu will lead people to repair it and put it into use.
When Na Yan's mother saw Russell's carriage and horses approaching, she immediately smiled and said: "Dressell, come here quickly and see how our new pasture is. There is a large orchard in front of it, which was recently reclaimed by my mother.
.”
Russell looked at the vast field and the surrounding farmhouses, and said with a smile: "Mom, this pasture is so big, and the surrounding environment is very quiet, which is great."
"This area was originally the private area of your grandpa's house. It was later abandoned, so no one came over. By the way, Russell, weren't you going to bring some exotic animals and fruit trees? Why didn't you see anything?"
Drassel took Na Yan's mother to find a farmhouse, backed away, and then said: "Mother, have you ever thought about what kind of secret place we entered back then."
"Well, your father and I have also left the trial stone chamber. However, after leaving, we will enter a maze and cannot get out of the stone chamber. We don't know exactly what is in the secret realm."
"Mother, I have also left the secret stone chamber and entered the maze. But I was luckier. I walked out of the maze and entered a kitchen-like place. There were many precious ingredients that were only eaten by immortals.
There are many books that describe in detail how to cultivate food ingredients. Sweet potatoes and corn are the simplest spiritual foods among them."
In fact, Yan's mother had also speculated that Russell had some kind of adventure in that secret place.
"Then... what you mean, Dracelle, is that there are also methods of cultivating other immortal ingredients recorded in it!"
Russell nodded and said: "Yes, it not only records the cultivation methods of many fairy ingredients, but also a large number of seeds, even some elixirs and fairy fruits! However, some high-level seeds, if you want to plant them,
, requires extremely harsh conditions, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth today is not strong, so it is very difficult to successfully cultivate it."
"Okay, we are not greedy. We can cultivate as much as we can. Those are all things from the ancient immortal family. Even sweet potatoes and corn, which are the lowest among them, can be so magical. It would be bad if we are too greedy.
"Then Mother Yan is easily satisfied.
As long as Dresel wants to, Safiya can create whatever he wants. It's just not easy to find a suitable reason. Fortunately, there is a secret realm that can be used as an excuse, which makes Dresel's
Behavior becomes much more reasonable.
"Mother, in the fairy kitchen, in addition to some spiritual food and spiritual fruits, there are also many ways to raise exotic beasts. These exotic beasts have delicious meat and rich spiritual energy. In ancient times, they were all supplies.
I also brought back a lot of the food that immortals eat from the secret realm. It is these strange beasts that we need to breed in the future."
Na Yan's mother said doubtfully: "Dressel, this spiritual grain seed is easy to collect and understandable, but how can these strange beasts still survive if they have been left in the secret realm for tens of millions of years."
Drasel smiled mysteriously, took out a scroll and said: "Hehe, mother doesn't know something. These strange beasts are actually stored in a sealed scroll. There is a strange space in the scroll that can store living creatures.
, and once the scroll is sealed, the contents inside will also be sealed, and no matter how long time passes, they will not die easily. This is the magical effect of sealing the scroll."
The sealing scroll does have its own thing, and the effect of the scroll is indeed the same, but this thing is a kind of space treasure, which has its own space inside. It is very troublesome to make. It requires many high-grade materials and needs to be refined by a powerful person above the god.
If you succeed, you can seal anything, even living things. You are a disciple of Fentian Valley.
A treasure used to seal the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.
If you want to achieve great success in the Burning Sky Valley's skills, various powerful spiritual fires are necessary. However, some spiritual fires are too violent and cannot be simply refined and absorbed. This involves how to store them.
The problem with spiritual fire is that powerful spiritual fire has the terrifying power to burn all things, and only space treasures such as seal scrolls can store spiritual fire.
If the Burning Sky Valley disciples knew that their sect's precious sealing scroll was actually described by Drasel as a cage to preserve livestock, they would probably be pissed off.
I saw Drasel opening the scroll, and then inputting soul power into the scroll. A burst of distortion appeared in the surrounding space. A hen flapped its wings and jumped out of the space distortion, which shocked Na Yan's mother.
"It's really magical. I never thought that immortals could possess such magical treasures and be able to store living things."
"Mom, there are many strange beasts here. The eggs I gave my mother last time were the eggs laid by such strange beasts. There are also pigs, cows, sheep and other strange beasts in them. Every kind of strange beast has its own characteristics.
It is a rare and miraculous thing. If it is raised and bred, it will also be a heritage of my shepherd family."
"Then how do you feed these strange beasts? What do they eat?"
"That's a lot. They will eat anything, sweet potato vines, corn stalks, all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves, and even grass. In short, they can eat anything. They are very easy to raise."
Mother Yan was shocked. There was such a talkative fairy beast in the world. Mother Yan couldn't accept it.
After that, Drasel took out the seal scroll and took out a lot of livestock. These were all made by Safiya with a lot of effort. They were raised in the pasture and all kinds of fruits were planted in the orchard.
.
For several days, De La Serre had people planting fruit trees and instructing people on how to raise livestock.
While Russell was still busy, a member of MI7 found Russell and reported a piece of news...
News came from MI7 that Guan Susu's wet nurse had been found and successfully rescued, and was about to arrive at the palace. After hearing the news, Drasel also brought people back to the palace in person.
On the way, Russell was checking the intelligence collected by MI7, which was all about Guan Susu.
Guan Susu is the eldest lady of the Feiyu mercenary group. Her father's name is Guanshan, who is the leader of the Feiyu mercenary group. His strength is at the early stage of the Earth Martial Realm, and he is also a famous master. However, this Feiyu mercenary group
The Feather Mercenary Group is not the original force of Qingshan City, but a foreign force that suddenly settled in Qingshan City more than a year ago. According to their own statement, they provoked someone outside and fled here.
The entire Feiyu mercenary group has thousands of warriors, and there are many strong men in the group. It is a strong mercenary group. It is mainly engaged in hunting exotic beasts and taking on mercenary tasks to make a living. It also has its own territory in Qingshan City.
, is a second-rate force in Qingshan City.
As for the eldest lady of the mercenary group, Guan Susu, she has only shown her face a few times in some big events since she came to Qingshan City. With her outstanding appearance, she was attracted by many high-class nobles, and they tried every means to pursue Guan Susu's favor.
It even caused many internal fights among the nobles in Qingshan City, causing quite a stir, and was respected by some people as one of the two bests in Qingshan City.
However, the intelligence collected from MI7 shows that Guan Susu does not appear often in Qingshan City, and spends most of his time in his boudoir. He is quite mysterious. Even the noble sons who pursue Guan Susu are
Little is known about official elements.
As for the reason why the Feiyu Mercenary Group was destroyed, there are no details. There are rumors that the Feiyu Mercenary Group provoked a mysterious force. This force mobilized masters and surrounded and killed many masters of the Feiyu Mercenary Group, and then massacred Feiyu Mercenary Group.
At the headquarters of the Feiyu Mercenary Group, only Guan Susu and a few others escaped from the massacre. The outside world did not know that it was the Zhang family who had done it. The Feiyu Mercenary Group was wiped out in one day, and it was still a mystery.
.
Back at the palace, Guan Susu had already met his wet nurse. She saw that Guan Susu's wet nurse was a middle-aged, somewhat plump and beautiful woman. Looking at her appearance, this woman was...
She is Guan Susu's biological mother, and Russell would not doubt her.
At this time, Guan Susu and her wet nurse were hugging each other tightly, cuddling with each other, and then wept with joy.
Seeing Russell come in, Guan Susu quickly said: "Your Majesty, you are back!"
Seeing Drasser, wet nurse Guan Susu quickly knelt down and said, "I frowned, please see the prince."
"Oh, Aunt Shen, please wake up quickly. Since you are Su Su's wet nurse, you are also my elder, so there is no need to be polite."
Shen's mother glanced at Guan Susu, and Guan Susu said: "Shen's mother doesn't need to see anyone outside. The prince is very easy-going. There are not so many rules in the palace."
Mother Shen immediately understood and said with a smile, "Then, thank you, Your Majesty."
Only then did Guan Susu ask anxiously: "Mother Shen, Susu still doesn't know what happened. Why did the Zhang family want to destroy our Feiyu mercenary group? There should be no big hatred between us and the Zhang family. I
How is father now? Where is he now?"
Speaking of this, Mother Shen hesitated and glanced at Russell.
Russell immediately understood and said: "Since Su Su and Mother Shen reunited after the disaster, you must have a lot to say, so I will leave first."
"Your Majesty, wait, Mother Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it. Your Majesty is... Susu's friend, it doesn't matter."
"In this case, I will tell Miss everything. We have to start from the beginning." Shen's mother said with a look of reminiscence.
It turned out that a few months ago, the Feiyu Mercenary Group had received a big order, which was to find a kind of elixir for the Zhang family - Blood Ganoderma. This is a very precious elixir that mostly grows on the cliffs of valleys.
On top of that, it can help warriors condense their spiritual power, strengthen their bodies, and increase their chances of breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm.
The Zhang family intended to make friends with the Feiyu mercenary group, so they gave this task to the Tianyu mercenary group to complete. In order to convey their goodwill, the Zhang family also sent several experts to accompany them, and both parties entered the Endless Mountains to search for it.
The Feiyu Mercenary Group attached great importance to this mission and sent many core personnel. Guan Shan, as the leader of the mercenary group, naturally also participated. The Zhang family also sent several experts to enter the largest virgin forest in the Celestial Empire—
- Endless Mountains, after searching for a long time, I found Blood Ganoderma on a valley rock wall. After that, I spent a lot of money to get rid of the strange beasts guarding the elixir, and then I got the Blood Ganoderma, but there was a little accident during the process.
, several of the group of people accidentally fell into a hidden valley while fighting strange beasts.
When everyone went to rescue, they accidentally discovered that there was a cave in the valley. There was a large amount of spiritual stone mines in the cave. Obviously, this was a spiritual stone vein.
Drasel was shocked and said: "What! There are spiritual stone veins in the Endless Mountains! "Lingshi is a good thing. It contains pure spiritual power and can help warriors improve the purity of their spiritual power.
, it can also help with cultivation, and can also shape formations and serve as energy sources for various formations. It is a rare and precious cultivation resource.
A vein of spirit stone means unparalleled wealth. Moreover, there is a chance to condense the legendary spirit crystal in the spirit stone vein. If a warrior can absorb and refine it, the purest spiritual energy in the spirit crystal can even improve himself.
Talent, and the opportunity to become a strong person in the Earth Martial Realm.
The spiritual stone that continuously cultivates powerful people with its energy source, and the spiritual crystal that is said to allow people to break through to the Earth Martial Realm, each of them is enough to drive people crazy.
What happens next can be predicted.
When the mineral vein was discovered, although several experts from the Zhang family were present, most of the people present were members of the Feiyu mercenary group. The Zhang family could not kill people and silence them even if they wanted to, so they did not act rashly. In order to prevent
The Feiyu Mercenary Group leaked this matter and also proposed that the two companies cooperate and mine together.
After returning to Qingshan City, Guan Susu's father also realized that this matter was of great importance. Cooperating with the Zhang family was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. He originally wanted to stay away from this place of right and wrong, but he didn't know that the Zhang family acted faster and sent them early.
The people put the Feiyu mercenary group under surveillance.
Perhaps in order to win over the Feiyu mercenary group, the Zhang family proposed to marry Guan Susu to Zhang Jie, the second son of the Zhang family. The two families became in-laws and became a family to jointly develop the spirit stone veins.
Unexpectedly, Guan Susu disagreed life and death and refused to marry Zhang Jie. In order to prevent this matter from changing, the Zhang family secretly mobilized forces to destroy the Feiyu mercenary group, but Guan Susu's father
I've already made preparations
, allowing Guan Susu and others to escape Qingshan City through the secret passage.
Shen's mother said sadly: "Young lady will know what happened later. I wanted to take my young lady and escape from Qingshan City through a secret passage, but the Zhang family's movements were so fast that I didn't even have time to arrange it, and the killer had already arrived.
Come on, in the end I can only let the young lady go first, while the master stays behind to command everyone to fight against the enemy."
"At that time, I escaped from Qingshan City with my young lady, but I was soon discovered by the Zhang family, who chased me all the way. In order to protect my young lady, I had no choice but to stay behind. I led the pursuers in circles in Qingshan City, relying on my physical skills
, I found a chance to escape. However, since then, the Zhang family has begun to closely monitor all movements in Qingshan City and let the city guards patrol day and night. I had no chance to leave. If the prince hadn't sent someone to rescue me, the old slave might have escaped.
I'm going to be arrested by the Zhang family."
Guan Susu quickly said: "Well... what about father? Father promised me that he would escape through a secret passage."
After hesitating, Mother Shen said, "Actually, this secret passage has been known to the Zhang family. Later I inquired and found that the master did want to escape through the secret passage, but fell directly into the Zhang family's trap. He has...already..."
"What... no, my father will not die, wuwuwu..."
Looking at Guan Susu with a sad face, Russell didn't know how to comfort her. He could only put his hand on Guan Susu's back and let her cry.
Perhaps aware of Drexel's existence, Guan Susu quickly grabbed Drasel's hand and said, "My lord, Susu, please, please avenge my father... wuwuwu."
"Don't worry Susu, I will avenge your uncle's revenge. Now, I will immediately order someone to go to Qingshan City to find out the news. Tomorrow, we will go to Qingshan City together."
Guan Susu immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Susu is grateful."
In the early morning of the next day, Russell secretly left Nanshan City with a few guards and officials.
On the way to Qingshan City, Guan Susu sat next to Drasel and said, "Your Majesty, why are we going to Qingshan City for a few of us? Aren't we... going to avenge my father?"
"Miss Susu, this matter cannot be rushed. We are just going to investigate the information now. According to the information I have received, the Zhang family in Qingshan City is not ordinary. The Zhang family in Nanshan City can only be regarded as a minions in front of him. Susu, you have stayed in Qingshan City for a long time, so you should know something about the Zhang family..."
"This, Susu knows a little bit about. Qingshan City is basically dominated by the Zhang family, which controls all the nobles in Qingshan City. Moreover, the Zhang family is related by marriage to the Murong family in the imperial capital. Taking advantage of the Murong family's Tianrong Trading Company, Qingshan City is It has developed into the most prosperous city in the entire Nanshan County, and its influence spreads all around Qingshan City. If we were to say who was the most powerful person in Nanshan County before the prince became the lord of Nanshan County, it should be the head of the Zhang family - Zhang Tianhe."
Russell smiled and said: "That's it. As far as I know, under the Zhang family in Qingshan City, there are hundreds of thousands of city guards alone, as well as the soldiers under their own jurisdiction, as well as those who are loyal to the Zhang family. The total strength of the major mercenary groups exceeds 300,000, and there are more than a dozen well-known masters of the Earth Martial Realm. Although our army of the Prince of Dela is not afraid, it is not advisable to fight head-on, as that will cause losses. , it’s too big.”
"But, in the entire Nanshan County, you are the only one who has the ability to compete with the Zhang family. Aren't you prepared to deal with the Zhang family?"
"I have never said that I will let the Zhang family go. Speaking of which, our Mu family is on the same level as the Murong family. Since this family is related to the Murong family, we cannot let the Zhang family go in my territory. It exists, but the strength of the Zhang family is indeed not weak. It is uncertain that the Murong family will send people to secretly help the Zhang family and deal with this king together. The only solution now is to find out as much details about the Zhang family as possible, and then do something. Decision."
"I am also very concerned about whether the Murong family has sent anyone to Nanshan County. The bandits who came to assassinate me last night were obviously used by others to test my chess pieces. However, I am very curious as to why they Instead of taking action myself, I just let a group of bandits come to die. Is there any scruples, or someone doesn't want me to die too quickly, or some other reason? According to the information that my subordinates found out, the bandits were ordered to assassinate me. People should be the forces of Qingshan City, and the Zhang family of Nanshan City is just
I just made a favor and let those bandits in. They did not directly participate in the assassination. I am just surprised that their actions should not be so simple. It seems that they are just dealing with it or teasing me."
Russell looked into the distance and said: "I have a hunch that Qingshan City seems to be owned by the Zhang family, but the Zhang family has been acting domineering in the past few years, and there must be forces secretly trying to overthrow the Zhang family. Someone deliberately sent a killer.
Assassinate me, leave obvious traces, and point my sights at Qingshan City. The purpose is already obvious. Someone wants to provoke hatred between me and the Zhang family of Qingshan City, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?
"
Russell looked at Guan Susu meaningfully and said, "Susu, you are so smart, do you think this possibility... exists?"
Guan Susu was stunned. To a certain extent, he also had the same idea, but his approach was different from others. Guan Susu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and Su Su also feels that there is someone...
They are deliberately instigating a conflict between the prince and the Zhang family of Qingshan City. Then... Your Majesty, do you know who is secretly inciting the conflict."
Russell smiled and said: "I don't know about this. After all, I have only been in Nanshan County for a short time, and I am not familiar with the various forces in Qingshan City. However, I guess that the person who secretly instigated this...
They should be very familiar with Qingshan City, otherwise, they would not dare to make this plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves. They must be sure that when both the king and the Zhang family are in danger, they will come forward to replace the Zhang family's position in Qingshan City. Such a force should
It’s not difficult to find. Once you get to Qingshan City, if you put some effort into it, you should be able to find clues.”
Guan Susu felt a little uneasy at this time. She couldn't figure out Russell's plan at all. Moreover, she felt that Russell had doubts about her identity, but she also showed that she trusted her very much and told her everything.
Guan Susu himself couldn't figure out what Russell was going to do.
In the entire Nanshan County, the only force that is qualified to become Drassel's opponent is the Zhang family in Qingshan City. Nanshan City is considered the hometown of Prince Drassel. It is not difficult to unify. Huangshan City in the northwest and Northern Mandala
The empires are adjacent to each other and separated by a large stretch of desolate Gobi. It is the most barren place in Nanshan County. There are also several forces in Huangshan City that restrain each other, which poses the least threat to Drasel.
The entire Nanshan County has a vast territory. Nanshan City is located in the far south, backed by endless mountains and surrounded by countless mountains and forests. It is the city with the largest area. Qingshan City is located in the middle of Nanshan County, with convenient transportation and developed commerce. It is the largest city in the entire Nanshan County.
A wealthy city; Huangshan City, located in the northwest, is barren and the most backward place. The only advantage is that the people there are strong and there are relatively many strong people.
