Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginning Chapter 496 On March 30th, Li Nuo and his three girls left Meiguan
Chapter 496 On March 30th, Li Nuo and his three girls left Meiguan
The thirtieth day of the first lunar month.
Lingnan.
Meiguan.
Ever since the Caobang and the Four Jiangnan Escort Bureaus established the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and specialized in running the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions along the Tea Horse Road, Meiguan, which was originally deserted, has become very lively.
On the official road.
There was an endless stream of traveling convoys.
Wine shops and tea shops have sprung up on both sides of the road.
The traffickers and footmen shouted vigorously. Although life was still a little harder, the smiles on their faces were becoming more and more common. This was the change brought about by hope.
Meiguan is changing with each passing day.
An extremely luxurious carriage moved slowly along the official road.
Behind the carriage, the towering pier wall gradually formed into the lake between the mountain mist, until it completely disappeared.
"Uncle, are we leaving now? Why don't you go say hello to Jiang Jingcan?"
There were one man and three women sitting in the large carriage.
Qiluo lowered the corner of the opened car curtain again and raised the doubts in her heart.
She knew that her uncle and Jiang Jingcan, the current leader of the Western Chu Kingdom, were close brothers!
Li Nuo smiled slightly, turned his eyes to Ashina on the other side, and asked: "Ashina, have you made up your mind? Do you really want to go and meet your cousin, the king's leader, whom you have never met before?"
Ashina's father was the younger brother of the then King of Western Chu. He was named Rakshasa King. However, he failed in the fight for the throne, so he was defeated in Wushan. Later, he married a witch and gave birth to Ashina.
Jiang Jingcan, the son of the leader of the Western Chu Kingdom, was "adopted" by a couple from the Central Plains as an "orphan" when he was young, and was named "Ren Tianxing". Later, because of his outstanding literary talent, he studied at Lushan College and became a disciple of Jian Yuyan.
Under his sect, he was the top pick in high school eleven years ago.
So in terms of identity, Ashina has to call Jiang Jingcan Brother Wang and Jiang Qiuyue Sister Wang.
Ashina replied very sensibly: "Young Master's matters are the most important. My cousin and I will have many opportunities to meet each other in the future."
Qiluo held her chin and asked with a weak look: "Uncle, how should we deal with that Cao Xiong? We have not concealed our whereabouts, and we even left the country in such a high-profile manner. Cao Xiong must have already received the news, and he is afraid that he will not do anything if he proves it.
Block it, but make small moves in secret."
"Cao Xiong is just relying on the "Kyushu Map" in his hand, but I have cracked this trump card. It's okay if he doesn't take action, but once he does, he will become a prisoner."
Li Nuo is confident.
Wu Daozi imitated the "Kiuzhou Map" and worked hard for a month to complete the painting. It can be said that it is so lifelike that it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.
And just last night, Li Nuo sent out the treasure-hunting rats and came up with a plan to exchange the civet cat for the prince.
He stole Cao Xiong's authentic "Kyuzhou Map" and then returned the fake one made by Wu Daozi.
Of course, Li Nuo also knew that this plan would not be hidden from Cao Xiong for long.
As long as Cao Xiong uses the "Kyushu Map", he will find problems.
But as long as he can delay it for a few days, and wait until he finds the black butterfly Gu to "extend" Zi Yuan's life, he will be able to completely free up his hands.
…
At this time, Cao Xiong was sitting upright in the study, but his eyelids were twitching and he felt a little uneasy.
Of course he knew that Li Nuo's carriage had left Meiguan and headed towards southern Xinjiang.
But there's one thing he doesn't understand.
Back then, he used the "Kyuzhou Map" to trap Li Nuo for several days, and there was quite a lot of dissatisfaction between the two.
Everyone knows that Li Zian has a strong temper and a small belly.
Now that Li Zian is a highly respected minister, holds a heavy army, and is passing through Lingnan, there is no reason not to show off his power to him.
Did he really become a reformed person after becoming a high official?
Cao Xiong rubbed his temples with throbbing veins, then reached out and turned a very hidden button a few times.
Then a creaking sound was heard, and the bookshelf on the side wall separated, revealing a small secret room.
A fascinating splash-ink landscape painting came into view.
After looking at the scroll, Cao Xiong's tense heartstrings relaxed.
This is the treasure of the Cao family, the "Kiuzhou Map!"
With it, Cao Xiong can feel at ease.
It is precisely because of the existence of this precious treasure that the Cao family has survived through the three dynasties of Qin, Zhou and Yin, and has been the leader in Lingnan for generations.
Before the pre-Qin Dynasty, the princes continued to conquer each other, and the smoke of war never cleared from the Central Plains. A generation of emperors "Ying" raised troops in Qin, and finally unified the nine states and proclaimed himself "Qin Shihuang".
Later, he gave the "Nine Provinces Picture Reward" to the most outstanding military meritorious officer to help him destroy the Cao family of the six countries.
It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Cao family, and now it has been passed down to Cao Xiong.
Unfortunately, after arriving at Caozu, all the disciples of the Cao family were ineffective, their cultivation talents were mediocre, and they were unable to completely refine the "Kyushu Map".
Fortunately, "Jiuzhou Tu" was worshiped by the Cao family day and night, and he and the Cao family had a "feeling", so Cao Xiong was able to borrow some of the abilities of "Jiuzhou Tu".
Of course, no one in the world knows that the time limit is actually very large.
Blood must be sacrificed, and the "Trapped Formation" ability of "Kyushu Diagram" can only be used once every ten days.
This secret can only be known by the heads of the Cao family in the past dynasties.
But who would have known that Li Nuo didn't follow common sense at all and actually exchanged the fake product for the genuine one.
In fact, Cao Xiong was on guard carefully, but the devil is as tall as the devil. He never expected that Li Nuo actually raised a very rare treasure-hunting rat, and it had already transformed!
How to prevent this?
Xiaobai wants to steal the treasure, but even if you are mentally connected to the treasure, you won't be able to notice it.
Unless you can catch it on the spot, it's really impossible to prevent it.
Back to business.
On the carriage.
Ziyuan, who was wearing a pale yellow goose skirt, blushed slightly, lowered her head and did not make a sound.
When Li Nuo went to Yingtian Mansion, she divided her troops into two groups and went to Lingnan to wait.
Due to the many crises in Wushan and his party, she also left her maid Hongyan in Chang'an.
And just yesterday, she finally met up with Li Nuo, who had arrived late.
"Sir, you are distracted by the slave family's affairs."
Zi Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
Reality changes.
Who could have imagined that Li Nuo would be named Wu'an Gong and then lead his troops south to put down the rebellion?
This time delay made Zi Yuan feel a little frightened, fearing that the trip to Wushan would delay Li Nuo's great cause of counterinsurgency.
"We haven't seen each other for just a few days, but I've learned a lot about you."
Li Nuo said with a smile.
Zi Yuan frowned slightly, looking worried. Li Nuo didn't find it strange, after all, Wu Shan and his party were related to her fate.
However, Ashina immediately vouched for it and said: "Sister Ziyuan, don't worry. Although the black butterfly Gu is rare, it will definitely appear on February 2nd. I am very familiar with Wushan and I will definitely be able to help you find it."
After Li Nuo told her about the Purple Kite and the Life Gu, Ashina was very surprised.
A woman from the Central Plains actually possesses a natal Gu insect?
And this Gu insect is still in a "dangerous" state!
Logically speaking, Wu Clan's Gu insects will never be used by outsiders.
"Thank you very much, Sister Ashina."
Zi Yuan smiled kindly.
Ashina returned the favor with a sweet smile.
Qiluo, who was sitting opposite, glanced at her with disdain.
What to pretend to be!
Who doesn’t know that you are a dark girl?
Only a simple woman like Sister Ziyuan would be fooled by you!
