"Two bowls of ice powder, and two plates of glutinous rice balls."
Qiao Ye took Princess Yongle to a snack shop on the roadside and sat down, then casually ordered some food.
Qiao Ye placed the glutinous rice balls in front of Princess Yongle and said, "Why are you in Tianliang Village if I'm not staying at your Princess' Mansion?"
Princess Yongle seems to be a very well-educated person, the kind who eats and sleeps silently. When drinking soup, the spoon cannot touch the bowl.
After covering her mouth and taking a small bite of the glutinous rice balls, Princess Yongle said: "I have been here recently, and now it is under the control of my father."
"Huh?" Qiao Ye was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Princess Yongle said: "Half a month ago, my father captured the three cities of Beizhili. The city lords of Longcheng, Border City, and Yecheng on the northern border all surrendered to my father."
Qiao Ye was stunned for a while before she understood the meaning and said in surprise: "Is the King of Ruyang rebelling?"
Princess Yongle quickly stretched out her hand to cover Qiao Ye's mouth, but she was still a step too late, so she could only say timidly: "You can't say this nonsense."
Qiao Ye glanced at Princess Yongle. Who in the entire Demon Realm didn't know that King Ruyang had objections?
However, Princess Yongle's action made Qiao Ye understand something. He looked at Princess Yongle and said, "Because you were ambushed, the King of Ruyang knocked on the mountain to frighten the tiger?"
Princess Yongle chuckled lightly and did not answer.
Qiao Ye nodded, understanding the meaning.
The imperial court cut off King Ruyang's envoy team and put two princesses in danger. Why didn't the Demon Hall openly arrest Princess Nanyang and Princess Yongle? Because they captured the two princesses, they followed Ruyang.
Wang’s negotiating capital, and this matter cannot be put on the table.
Because not everyone can bear the anger of a Demon Lord.
The six cities on the northern border are the result. Since the Demon Hall did not capture the two princesses, King Ruyang will naturally be able to counterattack without any scruples.
So, is this counter-intuitive or not?
The King of Ruyang took six cities on the northern border and connected them to the central and northern parts. The territory expanded a lot, but he had no intention of leading his troops southward.
The Daqian court seems to have cut off its flesh and blood, but in fact the court has never had good control over the northern border. Many cities on the northern border are in a state of occupying the mountain and becoming the king.
However, although this bad debt cannot be calculated clearly, there are some clues that the King of Ruyang and the Daqian Dynasty are already incompatible with each other.
Qiao Ye said: "So, the void crack on the northern border has been taken over by King Ruyang?"
Princess Yongle smiled and nodded.
This is a ruthless character!
The army on the northern border and the Night Demons were having a huge quarrel over the Void Crack, but as a result, King Ruyang took action and there was no need to make a fuss anymore.
At the same time, we can also get a glimpse of King Ruyang's attitude. King Ruyang really wants to join forces with the Martial Realm and the Spiritual Realm, and to join forces, occupying the entrance and exit of the Nine Realms battlefield is the first and most important step.
If the Martial Realm and the Spiritual Realm want to enter the Demonic Realm, they must enter through the Void Crack. If they cannot even enter the Void Crack, there will be no need to talk about it later.
Qiao Ye said: "Does King Ruyang still plan to form an alliance?"
Princess Yongle said: "Those are all my father's affairs. How can I, a daughter of mine, take care of such matters?"
Qiao Ye narrowed her eyes, Princess Yongle was just weak-tempered and had the demeanor of a lady, but that didn't mean she was a fool.
The fact that King Ruyang allowed the two princesses to serve as envoys meant that these two princesses were definitely not young ladies raised in a boudoir.
Qiao Ye did not ask any more questions. He had already received enough information from Princess Yongle.
For example, from King Ruyang's move to occupy the north, it can be seen that King Ruyang was still determined to find an alliance and completely overthrow the Daqian Dynasty.
However, after suffering a loss, King Ruyang obviously became cautious. Tianliang Village is now owned by King Ruyang, and King Ruyang can obviously slowly choose the partners he needs.
Qiao Ye threw the bamboo sticks of the glutinous rice balls on the table. Today could end here. The tasks given by Lin Jiexu and Liang Zhicheng were completed easier than expected. The line with Princess Yongle was finally established. Although Princess Yongle is not stupid, I am afraid that if she wants to get information, she will have to resort to subtlety.
Qiao Ye stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but at this moment...
Qiao Ye's eyes were suddenly attracted by a ray of light, and she stood up suddenly.
There was a piece of fire in the sky, spreading in the air and spreading around, forming a piece of fire.
Qiao Ye's pupils shrank. This was the summoning signal for the boundary defenders. Xuanyuan Beimu had also used it before, which meant that the nearby boundary defenders who saw the signal gathered immediately.
Qiao Ye said to Princess Yongle: "Princess, it seems I can't accompany you anymore. I have something urgent to leave."
"Ah?" Princess Yongle was stunned for a moment, but her good tutoring still made Princess Yongle quickly stand up and said: "Then I won't delay you."
Qiao Ye nodded, and black smoke emerged from his body.
"That's right!" Princess Yongle lowered her head and whispered: "My name is Coco, you don't need to call me Princess..."
Princess Yongle whispered, but unfortunately when she looked up, Qiao Ye had disappeared.
Princess Yongle blinked her eyes blankly, was she running too fast?
…
at the same time……
When the black smoke condensed again, Qiao Ye had already arrived outside Tianliang Village, and looked up again at the place where the fire appeared, which seemed to be inside Liangshan Mountain.
Is there something wrong with the secret realm of Tianliang Mountain?
The black smoke around Qiao Ye surged again, and then his figure disappeared again in a flash.
Qiao Ye hurried towards the direction of the fire, and as she got closer, Qiao Ye found that there were more and more people.
Qiao Ye couldn't help but frown, because these people were not all boundary keepers.
People from the Demon Realm, people from the Spiritual Realm, people from the Martial Realm...
There must be some guardians among them, but most of them are people wandering around the battlefield of the Nine Realms. Let’s not talk about the others. Those demonizers in the Demon Realm must have nothing to do with the guardians.
Moreover, after getting closer, you can better distinguish the location of the fire. It is in Tianliang Mountain, but it is not the secret realm of Tianliang Mountain, it is just very close.
When they finally arrived at the place, Qiao Ye was also shocked. What a mess, it was so densely packed and messy.
This is the center of a rocky mountainous area, with a canyon in front of it. People are gathering around it, and many people have already started fighting.
At the same time, right in front, at the entrance of the canyon, there was a black vortex of light and shadow two people high, slowly rotating clockwise. At least dozens of defenders protected the vortex of light and shadow to prevent people around it from approaching.
And those people around were naturally shouting, trying to ignore the existence of the boundary guardians, and kept approaching the entrance of the canyon, trying to force their way into the whirlpool of light and shadow.
"This is..." Qiao Ye couldn't help but frown and murmured: "The entrance and exit of the Void Fault?"
