After the wind and rain stopped, Xiang Haihua summarized the situation facing the natural disaster at hand and rushed to Kaidu Miyagi. Not only did he want to report the situation on his side, but he also wanted to learn about the overall situation on the island from his father.
Condition.
When she arrived, Xiang Luo Ce was handling a specimen of a sea fish again. She had long been used to it. He told the side about the situation of Zhihai Pavilion. There was no problem. At most, some places needed to be repaired.
As soon as the conversation was finished, and Prime Minister Luo Ce had not said a word, someone sent a letter.
Hearing that it was a letter from Pang Wuzheng, Xiang Luoce was a little surprised. He looked at the sky outside, which had not completely cleared up, and muttered, "Isn't the old man relaxing on the island? Why did he send the letter just after the hurricane?"
Come on, what happened?"
He put down what he was doing, took the letter, checked it, looked at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and waved to signal the man who delivered the letter to leave.
Feeling that there was something meaningful in his father's smile, he tried to ask: "What's wrong with Mr. Pang?"
Xiang Luo Ce, who had just finished reading, handed the letter to her and asked his daughter to read it by herself, while he continued to handle the specimen of sea fish.
After understanding the content of the letter, Xiang Haihua said, "Mr. Pang is still so 'pleasant'. This is to flatter Lin Long."
Prime Minister Luo Ce corrected him, "It's the prince."
Xiang Haihua nodded in agreement and said disdainfully: "Your Majesty doesn't need this kind of flattery. What Your Majesty wants is for him to be attached to you. If you do such hypocritical things, it's no wonder that Your Majesty has been unwilling to pay attention to him. It's just you, dad. Accept him."
Just give me a little courtesy and get on top of it. To be friends with this kind of person, do you lack this little courtesy?"
She doesn't like this kind of flattering person very much.
Xiang Luo Ce kept his hands on and showed no reaction. He responded calmly: "The amber sea in our eyes is different from the amber sea in other people's eyes. If you listen to it, you will understand. In this regard, we still need to learn more from the prince."
Everyone can speak the truth and understand it, but Xiang Haihua still curled his lips and disapproved of it, threw the letter on the table beside him, turned around and left.
Xiang Luoce's voice sounded behind her, "Will Lin Long go to Amber Village tomorrow?"
Xiang Haihua stopped and looked back, "How could I have known that when he comes, I will arrange for someone to escort him."
Prime Minister Luo Ce: "Then you go back and inform him that I will host a banquet for him at noon tomorrow."
"knew."
"besides…"
Seeing her father's sudden hesitation, Xiang Haihua asked, "What?"
Xiang Luo Ce held the specimen in his hand and sighed, "You hang out with that pretty boy every day, you won't get pregnant, right?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Xiang Haihua, who rarely blushed, waved her sleeves and said dissatisfiedly.
"It's just a matter between men and women. You are not a child, and I don't want to interfere with your personal preferences. I just want to remind you that you have to consider whether you want to play with that pretty boy or really want to be together.
Be clear, don't do anything stupid."
Xiang Luo Ce looked like he had finished speaking. He could say such words because he already felt that his daughter was probably sincere this time.
He was quite helpless about this. At someone of his status, it was difficult to look at many things purely...
When Xiang Haihua found Chong'er to convey the lunch invitation, Qingya was in Yu Qing's room.
As for whether to accept the lunch invitation, Chong'er didn't want to go. She was not good at such social interactions, let alone hosting a banquet for herself. Due to her personality, she was not good at making decisions, so she could only ask Yu Qing's opinion with her eyes.
.
Xiang Luo Ce is a landowner. It is inappropriate to hang around on other people's territory without giving them face. Besides, there is nothing to do for the time being. It is difficult to find an excuse to refuse under the nose of others. In addition, Yu Qing also wants to know about Xiang Luo Ce.
Banquet has several meanings.
He is holding back now because he wants to see the reactions of all parties first, so he agreed to help Chong'er.
As soon as Xiang Haihua left, Qingya immediately pulled Yu Qing into his bedroom, closed the door, and didn't take the three-legged black Xiaoqing seriously. He just stood next to Xiaoqing, pulling Yu Qing and whispering, "Things happened."
What's going on? It's been a few days and there's still no response. You don't want to eat alone, do you?"
This statement is a bit like comparing yourself to others and judging others by yourself.
Yu Qing: "You are thinking too much. If you don't say anything else, just because of your godmother's reputation, if you find the treasure, she will have a share. It's not that I didn't respond, it's that Amber Girl is still unwilling to fully understand. They
To be on the safe side, I want to wait until I actually get away before telling you, because it’s useless for Lin Long to run there almost every day.”
Qingya was dubious, "I have already issued a public announcement and rewarded them to that little guy. How dare you be so disrespectful? I said, you are not fooling me, are you?"
Yu Qing spread his hands and said, "What's the point of fooling you? Do you still remember the secret passage we started looking for? It was said to be a treasure trove at the beginning, but in the end there was nothing. It's the same as now, and you can't see it yet.
What's their intention? They'll deal with us first, and don't let go of the hawk until they see the rabbit. Of course, it's normal for them to have concerns before they escape."
Having said this, Qingya thought about it. If he were in the position of those amber girls, he would probably do the same thing. He couldn't help but hesitate and said: "What did Li Chenghu mean? He said that he would reward you with those amber girls. Why is it so late?"
Are you still waiting to release him? It will be easier to deal with him once he is in your hands."
Yu Qing: "The devil knows what he means. I don't see any intention to give him the 1.5 billion. I'm too lazy to guess his thoughts now. Who knows if he will break his promise? Whoever takes it seriously is a fool. It's best to rely on yourself.
It’s safe, anyway, I’ll ask Lin Long to make more trips and think of more solutions.”
Qingya was a little worried, "Your guy seems to be too responsible. He wants to pry open the mouths of those Amber girls, but he's not smart enough." He touched his chin and muttered, "It would be nice if we could find a way to get them out first."
Well, it’s really not easy to handle so many people under Xiang Luoce’s nose..."
The next morning, the sky after the hurricane was as blue as water. Pang Wuzheng obeyed the call, crossed the sea from Qilan Xiaozhu, and went directly to the palace city. Someone took him into the harem.
Xiang Luo Ce still looked like he was doing nothing, taking care of the specimens.
Pang Wuzheng, who was holding a box, laughed and said hello, "Brother."
Xiang Luo Ce looked back, his eyes fell on the box, and he asked without any polite words, "What treasures did you bring?"
It can be seen from the facial expressions and behavior that the two people have a close relationship.
Pang Wuzheng didn't hide it, he went to the other party and opened the box for him to admire.
Upon seeing the precious light, Xiang Luo Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out and took out the golden pearl inside. After examining it, he was surprised and said: "Pearl? So big? This has become a legendary pearl."
Pang Wuzheng laughed and said: "How can we be careless about the treasure dedicated to the adopted son of Prince Duan? Naturally, we must be able to get it, otherwise my brother-in-law, the recommender, will have no reputation."
Xiang Luoce put the beads back and said jokingly: "Why don't you give me such a good thing?"
Pang Wuzheng was speechless, wondering if I have given you too many good things over the years? Naturally, he said plausibly: "I just found it not long ago, and I am currently offering it to Prince Duan as a gift to his adopted son. I will give it to you if I can."
This is all I have on hand. Next time I collect something good, you will be indispensable."
While the two were chatting here, Chong'er also left the Zhihai Pavilion, and Xiang Haihua saw him off in person.
First, take a boat to ride the waves, get to the pier and then change cars.
In the mountain forest outside the palace city, between the gaps in the turf of a dirt slope, a pair of eyes stared into the distance, staring at a high-rise attic in the city.
Suddenly, a red curtain fell on the attic.
To the people in the city, they didn't know what this meant, but the eyes under the grass immediately turned and stared at the Silent Mountain Road.
Soon, the sound of wheels broke the silence, and a car escorted by seven or eight people appeared on the mountain road.
The gaps in the turf slowly opened up, and we waited.
When the vehicle arrived nearby and reached the closest distance to the slope, the grass suddenly flew away and a figure flew out like a phantom.
The two guards who were guarding this direction immediately noticed the anomaly. They both pulled out their weapons urgently and shouted warnings at the same time, "Enemy..."
Before the word "enemy attack" was completely shouted, the people present seemed to have turned to stone. They could no longer make any sound, and the vehicles also stood still in place.
Those who saw the enemy attack, as well as those who had just looked back one after another, were unable to move. They all looked frightened and realized the terrifying cultivation level of the attacker.
Although Xiang Haihua in the carriage didn't see the situation outside, she realized something was wrong. As soon as she turned around, she was squeezed by a strong pressure. Zhong'er, who hadn't realized what was going on, couldn't move either. She felt like she was about to move.
Suffocating.
The masked man burst through the air in an instant and stepped on the shoulder of a guard. With a wave of his hand, the carriage fell apart with almost no sound, revealing the two people sitting inside.
The hair of Xianghai Hua and Chong'er flew into the air, torn apart and fluttering along with the scattered carriages.
The masked man who made the sneak attack seemed to know Xiang Haihua, his eyes immediately jumped away from her, and quickly locked on the long-haired Chong'er.
Chong'er has a female appearance, and with her long hair flying, she looks more like a woman.
At this moment, the masked man's eyes suddenly widened as he stared at Chong'er. Thinking of Li Chenghu adopting this man as his adopted son, he suddenly realized something, his eyes looked unbelievable, and he stayed there for a moment, stunned.
He was stunned, as if he had forgotten what he was here to do.
Suddenly, a series of thunderbolts sounded.
A sudden sound of wind came, almost at the same time from all around. Nearly a hundred whistling arrows were fired at the same target, which was the masked man who made a sneak attack.
The masked man's eyes flashed, his arms waved, and his powerful magic force stopped nearly a hundred incoming sharp arrows from the air. Most of them could no longer get closer to him when they were one foot away.
But there were still six sharp arrows that flashed towards him like thundering phantoms, actually breaking through its magic defense, trying to seize the soul and pursue the life.
The masked man was a little surprised. He was actually a great archer in the Shangxuan realm. At least two of them appeared at the same time.
A full-strength strike from a great archer in the Shangxuan realm can pose a certain threat to a high-xuan monk.
The masked figure quickly spun into the air like a top, and just as it swept away the six arrows that came towards him, there were a series of thunderbolts and explosions.
The masked man took off into the air and looked back at the insect on the vehicle again. Without doing anything else towards the target, he flew away like a phantom.
The hundreds of arrows that besieged the masked man were also swept away, destroying many surrounding trees and causing a large area to collapse.
As soon as the masked figure who made the sneak attack disappeared, another figure flashed in the air. It was none other than Xiang Luo Ce. He glanced around with cold eyes. The guards below were already lying on their backs.
There were still sounds of arrows being fired in the distance, which should be the direction in which the murderer was escaping. The master archer holding the bow was both chasing and pointing out the direction of the pursuit. Xiang Luo Ce wanted to pursue him, but he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of being tricked into leaving the mountain.
After all, the safety of his daughter and Lin Long is the first priority.
He heard the sound of bowstrings exploding like thunder, realized something was wrong, and rushed over.
After a while, a group of murderous men and horses rushed from the palace city, followed by Pang Wuzheng.
Seeing that the insect on the bus was still there, Pang Wuzheng was obviously a little confused. He quickly looked around and saw only silhouettes of people scattered around on guard.
