The torture and suffering day after day made both Lu Zhiyao and the two children gradually change a lot. Being trapped in this place by Liao Wuhen, they couldn't help themselves most of the time. They couldn't help but go there.
What to do and what to eat were all decided by Liao Wuhen.
Lu Zhiyao read a lot of books during this period, and indeed learned a lot from Liao Wuhen. In the huge attic, there was nothing but books, and most of those books were about martial arts.
, and the rest are medical books.
Lu Zhiyao once naively asked Liao Wuhen if she could be better than him if she learned everything in the books here? But Liao Wuhen just answered her sarcastically, who would turn his unique knowledge into words?
, put it where others can see and touch it? She will never even think about winning him in her life.
Lu Zhiyao thought about it and it made sense. What Liao Wuhen asked her to learn now was something he no longer bothered to see. But a lifetime is so long, who can say for sure? He is already so old, so he can't guarantee it.
When will she really win?
Three months passed like this, and Lu Zhiyao's belly grew bigger day by day, and finally passed the dangerous stage. She didn't know what happened outside during her absence, let alone what happened because of her
disappeared, and the rift between Qingming Kingdom and Xia Lai Kingdom became stronger and stronger.
Su Shi and Mu Ranchen explored all the way and finally, after spending a lot of time, found out where Lu Zhiyao might have appeared. That village was where Mo Tianshu also stayed and was saved by Lu Zhiyao once.
The two of them were actually passing by here, and became suspicious after hearing a few people chatting. The words Beast, Prince Xuanyuan, and Woman shocked them greatly. They immediately stopped those people, gave them some money, and asked them what happened.
What? The more I listened, the more I felt that the woman they were talking about looked like Lu Zhiyao. But what happened to the child next to her?
After going to the village and asking about it, the simple villagers were a little confused and a little repulsive when they saw that the two came to see Lu Zhiyao.
"Are you the child's family?" an elderly mother-in-law looked at Su Shi and the two of them and asked. "Are you the one who forced the child to leave home?"
Su Shi and the two couldn't laugh or cry. They couldn't explain it for a while. The more they talked with these people, the more confused they became. Later, they were simply misunderstood and thought that they were the culprits for abandoning Lu Zhiyao.
Su Shi and Mu Ranchen were very curious. How did Lu Zhiyao tell others about her life experience during the days she lived here? She actually aroused the pity of so many people. But no matter what, they still got some useful information.
information.
Xuanyuan Junfan, as expected, just as Lin Yinan was worried, Lu Zhiyao had contacted Xuanyuan Junfan after arriving here.
In this way, Xuanyuan Junfan's house welcomed two uninvited guests. As soon as he saw these two people, Xuanyuan Junfan knew that the good times were over. But he still pretended to be unaware and talked to them.
.
"This...should be my king's room, right?" As soon as Xuanyuan Junfan opened the door, he saw the two people sitting at the table, with a few slaves who had been knocked unconscious by them lying at their feet. He first looked at
The light flashed, and then he looked back at the familiar courtyard, then glanced at the room where he had lived for many years, stepped into the room, and asked Su Shi and Mu Ranchen with a smile.
"Prince Xuanyuan, long time no see." Su Shi stood up and said to Xuanyuan Junfan.
There are several princes in Qingming Kingdom, but the one in front of me is named king directly after Xuanyuan. The Xuanyuan family is the ruler of Qingming Kingdom, which shows the status of Xuanyuan Junfan.
"It's only a few months. For our antagonistic relationship, a few months can't be considered a long time after seeing each other." Xuanyuan Junfan walked over and asked the two to sit down, and then said with a smile: "The emperor of your country is
You miss the time of working with me, so you specially sent two of you to say hello to me?"
"Your Majesty, you are thinking too much." Mu Ranchen did not intend to waste time reminiscing with Xuanyuan Junfan, and went straight to the topic. He asked in a low voice: "We came here specially, just to ask Your Majesty, do you know that our country
Where is the Queen now?"
Xuanyuan Junfan looked at him helplessly and said: "Isn't this an obvious attempt to embarrass me? Where is your queen? How could I possibly know?"
Mu Ranchen and Su Shi exchanged glances. Xuanyuan Junfan would not admit it so easily. They had expected this.
"Is it impossible for the prince to know?" Su Shi took his words and asked with a smile: "As far as we know, people somewhere are spreading rumors that she is the prince's woman... If we take this away,
Go back and tell it to the emperor of our country. My lord, what do you think will happen?"
"When the two countries are at war, only the common people will suffer. None of us want this to happen." Xuanyuan Junfan knew that these two people came here after doing enough homework. It seems that they have found Lu Zhiyao.
"I really don't know where Lu Zhiyao is. If possible, I would like to meet her now and settle the score between the two of us. There is only one thing I can tell you,
She is indeed in Qingming's country now, not only you, I also want to find her."
"I'm afraid this explanation and answer are a little unreasonable, right?"
"The past that is unspoken is all true." Xuanyuan Junfan looked at Mu Ranchen solemnly and said, "If I guessed correctly, she came here to find an antidote for your emperor, so I
What I can help you with now is just to give you some places to try to find. I have always disliked war, and I don’t want the war between the two countries to be started by a woman. What do you think?"
Everything Xuanyuan Junfan said made sense, so Su Shi and Mu Ranchen had no choice but to leave first, but secretly they did not give up and continued to follow and investigate him.
In addition to Su Shi and the two of them, Feihe Tower's power also slowly penetrated into Qingming's country during this period. This was not what Mo Baiyan thought, but the two people under him who really couldn't control it.
.
Li Muchen is Lin Yinan's man, Mo Baiyan has known this for a long time, but when did Qu Wan'er become a woman who could risk her life for Lin Yinan? Didn't she once want to kill that Lu Zhiyao?
This point made Mo Baiyan confused. The woman's heart ached. What she said was indeed true.
Li Muchen and Qu Wan'er secretly left Feihe Tower, leaving all the complicated matters to Mo Baiyan to deal with alone. Mo Baiyan was extremely depressed, but he also knew that there was no way he could stop these two people, so he could only follow them.
They went.
The people from Feihe Tower and Lin Yinan's confidants, the sudden appearance of these masters in Qingming's country is definitely not a good thing.
Although Xuanyuan Junfan didn't want the emperor to know about Lu Zhiyao, he still knew which was lighter and which was heavier, so he had no choice but to go into the palace and tell Xuanyuan Haotian the matter.
Xuanyuan Haotian sneered after hearing what he said, "It's just a woman. Is she really worthy of Lin Yinan's massive efforts? And are you sure that the people from Feihe Tower came here because of this woman named Lu Zhiyao?"
"It is very likely that Feihe Tower has a close relationship with the Emperor of Xia Lai Kingdom. They have helped deal with the Nangong family before."
"What kind of person is this Lu Zhiyao?" Xuanyuan Haotian thought back to the only time he met her. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten it.
Xuanyuan Junfan thought about this question seriously and then answered: "Smart and cunning."
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Haotian was a little surprised to hear such an answer, because in his opinion, these two words are not bad. "If she is really smart enough, she will come to my territory alone.
?”
Xuanyuan Junfan didn't know how to answer Xuanyuan Haotian's question, but Xuanyuan Haotian didn't embarrass him and let him leave directly.
Xuanyuan Haotian's idea of launching a war against Xia Lai Kingdom has been in his mind for more than a year or two. Of course, he will not give up this idea just because there is a new emperor there.
In Xuanyuan Haotian's view, this rapidly established and developed country is not yet stable. If you want to win it, you can only rely on it now, otherwise it will definitely be a greater hidden danger in the future.
Xuanyuan Haotian had heard of Lin Yinan's name before, but he heard more about the Nangong family and the prince. His understanding of Lin Yinan also came from the time when Lin Yinan took Lu Zhiyao to sneak into the Qingming Kingdom.
It only started after watching his concubine selection meeting and letting him discover the dagger on Lu Zhiyao. After Xuanyuan Junfan came back from Xia Lai Kingdom, he also told him something about Lin Yinan and gave him a very good evaluation.
High.
But now Xuanyuan Haotian has some doubts about Xuanyuan Junfan's words. If an emperor is really calm enough, would he do this for a woman?
Xuanyuan Haotian felt ridiculous when he thought of this woman Lu Zhiyao. He walked out of the room and walked around the palace. It can be said that the security of his palace is very strong. As everyone knows,
Every year, he selects some women with good martial arts skills from the people to enter the palace and become his people. But those people don't know what Xuanyuan Haotian's real purpose is in choosing these people.
In the Xuanyuan family, there has always been a team responsible for protecting and executing the orders given by the Xuanyuan family. The number is small, but they are all good enough. The rapid growth of Xia Lai Kingdom in recent years has made people worried, and this guard team has also
A lot of talents were lost unknowingly. In order to make up for this shortcoming, Xuanyuan Haotian had no choice but to select people at all costs. Most of the women he brought back were sent for training, including
Many of them died on the training ground, which was why he had to choose a concubine every year.
This time Lin Yinan's people took the initiative to come to the door. Xuanyuan Haotian felt that this was the best opportunity to give the other party a "meeting gift". However, how to do it still needed to be carefully studied.
