Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth maid, do you know what is wrong?
Niu Yuxian spent half the night stealing a bunch of tools from the ascetic workshop.
It is said to be a pile, and all the instruments are put in a box. Niu Yuxian can carry it alone. This is the foundation of the Mohist practice of asceticism.
"Zhiqiong, I didn't come back alone. Two brothers are also back. It's up to you to decide whether to take them with me or not."
This is Niu Yuxian's style. Brotherhood must be taken into consideration, but the rules must not be ignored.
"Which two people?"
"Chu He and Wu Shanxing."
Chu He returned to the Northern Territory. Since there was no battle to fight and no one to kill, his cultivation level of killing had stopped at the eighth level.
Wu Shanxing's situation was better. He fought two battles with Tunu and his military skill reached the upper level of the eighth level, but he has not improved since then.
The two of them returned to the capital to rest for a few days before doing business. Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and decided to take them both with him.
The eighth-grade cultivation level is a bit low, but these two brothers are reliable.
Xu Zhiqiong will not treat them badly. They must earn enough money and cultivate enough cultivation skills.
After a good discussion, Xu Zhiqiong asked Han Chen and Tong Qingqiu to take the three brothers to Cong'an County in Yu Xianguo.
Xu Zhiqiong bought a bunch of paper figures and took Yang Wu, Chang Decai and Liang Zhenjie back to the Marquis Mansion of Yu Xianguo.
Before the fierce battle, some preparations had to be made. Liang Zhenjie laid out the tactical details to Yang Wu and Chang Decai, while Xu Zhiqiong had other important matters to deal with.
…
In the Yanghuan Palace, Princess Yanghuan didn't want to drink tea or eat. She sat in her bedroom in a daze all day long.
She has always believed that with her intelligence and her brother's ambition, she would be able to achieve great things.
She also firmly believes that one day, when the country is unified, Dayu will regain its former glory and become a great country that can rival Xuan Kingdom and Fanxiao.
She had thought countless times about the grand scene of congratulations from various clans in the royal capital.
There is only one thing she can think about now.
After Wansheng City was captured, where should the royal family flee?
She has seen clearly the courage of the emperor's brother.
It is impossible to defend the city and fight until there is only one soldier left.
If Yan Huan loses his army, her royal brother will immediately flee, but there is no question as to whether he can take other members of the royal family with him.
Where can I escape?
Go north to Xuanguo?
The emperor's brother captured Xu Zhiqiong. Xuanguo will never let go of this hatred. Xuanguo will probably not have a place for them.
Go west to the Fanxiao Kingdom?
Let’s not talk about whether the friendship between Fanxiao Kingdom and Dayu is true or false. There is a boundary between the Gu tribe and the entire royal family that cannot escape.
Go south, go to small countries such as Boye, Tugan and Luoyan to stay temporarily?
These small countries have received a lot of favors from Da Yu, so they should be able to tolerate them for a while.
But it must be only for a while.
These countries are too weak, and if the Gu clan is slightly intimidated, they will sell out the Dayu royal family.
Going east to sea?
Where do you go after going to sea?
Yelang country?
Yelang Kingdom is a good place to go. It is said that my brother and the King of Yelang Kingdom often exchange letters.
But no matter which country I go to, I can only live in fear and linger in this life.
The king's plans for hegemony have become a dream since then, and he is as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog.
There may still be some hope, maybe Juliang can get some reinforcements from Fanxiao Kingdom...
Thinking of this, Yang Huan suddenly slapped himself hard.
At this time, I'm still daydreaming!
Ju Liang is a member of the Nufu Sect! The Nufu Sect is the actual controller of the Gu clan.
Ju Liang is Dayu’s enemy!
Dayu's current break with Xuanguo was all caused by this thief. How could he go to Fanxiao to ask for reinforcements? He couldn't wait to wait for Dayu to perish!
Yang Huan slapped herself again.
If you had some courage, you would have to expose him even if you risked your life!
If he is exposed, at least he will not break with Xuan Guo, and Dayu Jiangshan can still be saved!
Is it still too late to go to the emperor brother and explain it clearly?
Yang Huan still hesitated and couldn't help but slap herself again.
At this point, why are you still hesitating?
She stood up and was about to leave when she heard someone shout: "The beating is light."
Yang Huan suddenly turned around and saw Xu Zhiqiong standing behind him.
In shock, Yang Huan wanted to call the maid, Xu Zhiqiong raised his eyebrows: "How dare you!"
Yang Huan didn't dare to move.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Didn't you hear what I just said? I said you hit me lightly. If you can't do it, I will hit you for you!"
"You, where are you from? You, aren't you already? Where did you start saying this..."
"It was you who said that if I couldn't persuade your imperial brother, you could become a maid for me. Now I'm going to use my family's methods on you, but you just gave me a few gentle blows!"
Yang Huan was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped himself in the face. It was crisp and loud, leaving a row of fingerprints.
Xu Zhiqiong held back his laughter.
Yang Huan resisted crying.
This princess is much stronger than her royal brother. In a life-or-death situation, she is willing to sacrifice herself.
Xu Zhiqiong looked straight and said: "Servant, do you know that you are wrong?"
Yang Huan nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Do you still want to save you Da Yu?"
"think!"
Yang Huan's voice was trembling.
"Do you think Da Yu can be saved?"
"There is hope!" Yang Huan raised his head, his eyes flashing, "As long as Da Xuan is willing to send troops, I, Da Yu, can still be saved."
"How can Daxuan send troops? Your imperial brother won't allow it at all!"
"I'm going to persuade the emperor brother. I'm going to the palace now. I will definitely be able to..."
"Don't say those useless stupid things!"
Yang Huan lowered his head and couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
What Xu Zhiqiong said was right, it was just a stupid thing to say. She could not persuade the emperor at all. She could do nothing now except plead with Xu Zhiqiong.
"Marquis Yun, as long as there is a way to save me, Da Yu, I will agree to anything. Not to mention being a slave, even being a cow or a horse, I am willing to do it!"
Xu Zhiqiong sighed and said, "Tell me first, how many third-grade cultivators are there in Yuxian?"
Yang Huan raised his head and said: "Does the third grade among the Gu tribe's rebels count?"
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said: "That's the enemy's third grade, what do you think it's for?"
Yang Huan sighed and said: "There are only two third-level cultivators in Da Yu in Da Yu, and the highest cultivators in other Tao sects are only sixth-level."
Xu Zhiqiong lowered his face and said: "Are you lying to me again? Yu Xian is an orthodox person under the True God Suzaku, and there is no bloodline restriction in the cultivation of Shengdao. How can there be only two third-level people?"
Yang Huan said: "This is my big Yu's rule. There cannot be more than two third-grade Taoist cultivators, otherwise it will be suspected of treason."
"If someone reaches the third level of cultivation, how can you still kill him?"
Yang Huan shook his head and said: "No one can cultivate it. To advance from the fourth grade to the third grade, there must be another third grade cultivator to lead the way. Without the emperor's order, a third grade cultivator must not lead the way for other cultivators, otherwise it will be treated as treason."
"Why can't other sects pass the sixth level?"
Yang Huan said: "This is a rule set since the rebellion of the Gu tribe. The Gu tribe was originally a branch of the True God Suzaku. However, because there were too many high-level cultivators, it led to rebellion.
From then on, Dayu has strictly controlled the cultivation of each Tao. If anyone exceeds the sixth level, he will be expelled from the country immediately. Anyone who conceals and refuses to report will be killed without mercy."
What kind of weird idea is this?
There are already many high-level cultivators in the Gu clan, but Yu Xian is still here, degrading his martial arts.
If it weren't for the special way of life and abundant money and food, this kingdom would not be able to survive today.
"Where is the other third-grade man? Did he go on an expedition with the army?"
Yang Huan shook his head and said: "Another third-level cultivator is Wei Wei Jinqing, who has lived in the palace for many years."
"Weiwei? Is it the same official position as Dadianke?" Xu Zhiqiong also learned about Yu Xianguo's official system. Dadianke, Dafengchang, Weiwei, and Lang Zhongling were all the highest-status ministers in Yu Xianguo.
Yang Huan nodded.
Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise: "Why have I never seen this person before?"
"This is a law established by my brother. From the moment he takes office, the guards are not allowed to have contact with outsiders. They live and eat in the palace."
Xu Zhiqiong's eyes widened and he said: "A third-level cultivator, just living in the palace like this without any contact with outsiders?"
This guard can really endure loneliness.
Yang Huan explained: "The diet and residence of the Weiwei are the same as those of the emperor. Every year, fifty maids come to serve on pillow mats. All of them are replaced the following year. His family can receive a salary of one hundred thousand taels of silver every year."
Everything you eat, drink, spend, and sleep is of the highest standard.
So this third-grade man willingly became the emperor's tool.
Originally, there were strict limits on his cultivation, and he had to reserve a top-quality combat power for his own use.
Previously, Yan Huan was sent to foreign countries as an envoy.
What a magical operation.
No wonder Dayu’s son is dying.
Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "How many days can the food and grass in Yan Huan's compartment last?"
"Three days, at most three days."
"If I can't save him within three days, is there any way out for you?"
Princess Yang Huan looked sad and said: "There is no way to retreat!"
Xu Zhiqiong lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice: "You're not telling the truth, are you?"
Yang Huan took a deep breath and said: "There are ways to escape, including fleeing to Daxuan in the north, fleeing to Fanxiao Kingdom in the west, fleeing to small countries such as Boye and Tugan in the south, or fleeing to the sea from the east to Yelang Kingdom.
"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "As long as there is a way out, I will try my best to persuade Emperor Changle. If he is willing to send troops within two days, you, Da Yu, can still be saved. If he refuses to send troops, you can escape with your brother."
Bar."
Yang Huan cried and shook his head: "I won't run away, and I won't go anywhere. If I want to die, I will die in Wansheng City."
"What a bloody spirit!" Xu Zhiqiong sighed, "Give me an identity so that I can move freely throughout Yuxian. In addition, I have a few helpers who want to go to Cong Anzhou. You have to ensure that they are not blocked. This matter can
Just do it.”
The border is heavily guarded. If it weren't for Xu Zhiqiong's identity, it would have been difficult for Tao Huayuan to enter the country. This matter must be resolved by Yang Huan.
Yang Huan nodded and said, "This is easy to talk about."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Don't let your imperial brother know what you and I said today, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted. Remember, remember."
Xu Zhiqiong left.
Yang Huan wiped away the tears on his face and seemed to see some hope.
Would she really not tell Yu Xianhuang about this?
Xu Zhiqiong felt that she would definitely tell Yu Xianhuang.
No matter how much hope Xu Zhiqiong gave her, she definitely believed in her brother more.
