Because he was tired of the internal infighting among the elites of the Great Xia Empire, Xuanyuan Zhong decided to leave the imperial city and go to the northern border to find a sparsely populated place to live in seclusion.
Before leaving.
Grandma Ya, who was the director of the Operations Department of the Longdu War Preparedness Department at the time, gave him a small bottle of "psychic water" as a gift.
Although the weight is very small, the effect of this thing is really incredible, which really surprised Xuanyuan Zhong.
Because of this.
Now Xuanyuan Zhong is convinced that the only person who knows the whereabouts of the "Psychic Water" is none other than Granny Ya back then.
Frowning.
Xue Yun clenched his fists and fell into silence.
As the saying goes, tea cools down when people are gone.
The clues that were finally obtained were cut off again because of the death of Granny Ya.
Without any clue, trying to find the legendary "psychic water" is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xue Yun is willing to spend time exploring.
Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, Xiaowanzi's situation is already in danger.
He can wait, but Xuantian Longnu can't wait...
"Don't be so pessimistic."
Seeing Xue Yun's demoralization.
Xuanyuan Zhong let out a long sigh and reminded: "Although the old woman is gone, the Longdu Operation Office where she worked at that time is still there. No matter what, the Bamboo Forest Welfare Institute should still keep her relics."
There was a pause.
Silently squinting his eyes, Xuanyuan Zhong analyzed in a deep voice: "Besides, judging from the currently known clues, the source of the 'Psychic Water' is very likely to be near Longdu..."
After all, Granny Ya is a veteran night watchman in Longdu.
Except for participating in the war with the Principality of Issa during the "Catastrophic Civil War", her activity area rarely went outside the scope of Dragon City.
According to normal logic, the search scope can indeed be narrowed to Longdu.
"Understood, I will return to Longdu immediately."
I thought about it for a long time.
Reaching out and handing the dragon egg to Xuanyuan Zhong, Xue Yun said in a deep voice: "Before we found the 'Psychic Water', Xiaowanzi was temporarily entrusted to you. Judging from her current situation, she will take risks with me."
, it’s really not appropriate.”
Even if you don't know the whereabouts of the "Psychic Water" yet, you can figure out if you think about it for a moment, that kind of place must be full of dangers.
Today, Xiao Wanzi is like a baby who is completely unable to take care of himself.
If you continue to follow Xue Yun, you will most likely be coveted by someone who wants to.
not to mention.
By keeping her by Xuanyuan Zhong's side, the other party might be able to slow down the process of her "life retrieval" and buy more time for Xue Yun.
"That's fine."
He silently took the dragon egg.
Xuanyuan Zhong raised his hand, and the "Steel Divine Weapon" behind him immediately rose from the void, respectfully took the dragon egg into his arms, and then slowly disappeared in place.
He tipped the tea cup upside down on the table.
The old man in front of him looked calm. After slowly closing his eyes, he called out in a deep voice: "You two, come out..."
The next moment——
Two vigorous figures disappeared briefly and suddenly appeared from the dark corner.
The two people in front of them had restrained auras and were short in stature. They were wearing black and white hooded outfits with most of their heads wrapped in them.
What makes people feel weird is.
The faces of the two guys in front of them were each wearing masks similar to those of opera warriors.
One black and one white, it looks like a seducer from the underworld, giving people the illusion that strangers should not approach it for no reason.
I wasn't too surprised.
From the moment he entered this wooden house, Xue Yun sensed many anomalies.
In addition to all kinds of wild freaks, there are also the auras of two night watchmen lurking in the room. It must be the traces left by these two guys.
"Who are they?" Xue Yun asked.
"Now that I have returned to the Imperial City, my identity has become the 'Regent'. Although I am not very willing, I still have to have the proper pomp..."
He shook his head helplessly.
Xuanyuan Zhong introduced: "This is a servant that the royal family has arranged for me. They are responsible for protecting my safety and taking care of my daily life and food."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yun was immediately speechless.
Good guy...
What kind of strength is the old blacksmith, and does his safety still need the protection of these two guys?!
This is obviously a servant specially arranged for him, with a round-the-clock escort and nanny.
"You two listen carefully..."
Xuanyuan Zhong ordered in a deep voice: "From today on, your master is the young man in front of you. His orders are my orders. You must obey them unconditionally. Do you understand?"
The words just fell.
The two of them almost didn't hesitate and nodded on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around and kowtowed in the direction of Xue Yun with great respect.
"Slave, please see Master!"
Sounds like bells sounded in unison.
Startled slightly.
Xue Yun was shocked and said: "I'll go, no, they...are women?!"
A deep smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Xuanyuan Zhong immediately ordered: "Take off your hoods and masks."
Not daring to show any signs of neglect, the two people quickly took off their heavy hoods and masks.
The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, and the shadow is stunning.
The two girls in front of me not only have beautiful faces, but their temperament is not inferior to any of the ladies.
What's more important is——
The eyebrows of the two men were filled with a rare look of perseverance. It was obvious that they had been able to develop such a unique iron-blooded aura after spending many years in the battlefield.
"This, don't be joking..."
He raised his eyebrows.
Xue Yun laughed dumbly and said: "It doesn't seem appropriate to let them go into danger with me, doesn't it?"
"It doesn't matter. They are originally dead soldiers. What they are best at is collecting intelligence and concealing assassinations. They are already used to life-and-death fights."
He pondered for a moment.
Xuanyuan Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly and said bluntly: "You guys are exactly the same as me when I was young. You both have a restless temper. You often walk alone when you are outside. With them here, at least they can take care of your daily life.
, serving tea and water is no big deal, no matter what happens, at least there will be someone who can warm your bed at night..."
Damn it!
As expected of a senior member of the royal family, he has a lot of fun!
Facing Xuanyuan Zhong's suggestion, Xue Yun could only smile awkwardly.
On the other hand, the two girls in front of them not only had expressionless faces, but also seemed to take everything as a matter of course.
"Okay, that's all."
Silently cover the still warm teapot.
Xuanyuan Zhong stood up slowly and warned meaningfully: "Be careful when you go out..."
There was a pause.
The old man in front of him sighed: "I am waiting for your good news in the imperial city."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong."
Jump up.
Nodding gratefully, Xue Yun quickly said: "The same goes for you, the people in the Imperial City are sinister, so you must take care of yourself!"
