Qin Jiyan was worried that Gu Qiancheng was pregnant, and was afraid that traveling over mountains and ridges would be bad for Gu Qiancheng's health, so he had to choose the official path, which would at least be stable. However, King Zhao and King Zhou were too cruel and refused to give Qin Jiyan and Gu a chance.
During Qian Cheng's rest time, he wanted to kill them all the way.
For safety, Qin Jiyan could only take risks.
Under the leadership of Gu Qiancheng, Qin Jiyan took some secret guards and personal soldiers and began to travel across mountains and rivers.
Compared with the official roads, these roads are really not that difficult to walk, and it is impossible for ordinary people to walk through them. In the first few days, Qin Jiyan was really worried, and he wished he could carry Gu Qiancheng on his back, for fear that she would be injured.
Gu Qiancheng knew what Qin Jiyan was worried about. She told Qin Jiyan several times that she was not pregnant, but Qin Jiyan didn't believe it.
Qin Jiyan's meaning is very simple. The time is too short, and Gu Qiancheng may not be able to accurately grasp the pulse. Something will really happen by then. Injuring the child is a small matter, but harming the body is a big deal.
Facing the nervous Qin Jiyan, Gu Qiancheng had no choice but to let him go. Fortunately, five days later, Gu Qiancheng was finally sure that she was not pregnant.
"Now, can you stop holding me like a crystal? I'm not that fragile." After confirming that there was no child, Gu Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that she doesn't want a child, but it's really not the right time. She doesn't want to get pregnant out of wedlock, and she doesn't want to have a baby at this time, which is too inconvenient.
"You have to hold it together, you have to take good care of yourself." Qin Jiyan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Gu Qiancheng was not pregnant.
He did hope that Gu Qiancheng would give him a child, but not now. At this time, neither he nor Gu Qiancheng had much energy to take care of the child.
Gu Qiancheng rolled his eyes at Qin Jiyan and ignored him...
After two days, Gu Qiancheng's health recovered, and the group immediately speeded up. Gu Qiancheng and Tang Wanzhen had walked this road before, and the wooden boat they had hidden in the secret place was still there. Gu Qiancheng was familiar with the road.
It saves a lot of time to find things.
In the capital, the old emperor was sitting in the palace counting the days. As he counted, he became irritated. He asked the young eunuch beside him, "How long will it take for Ji Yan to come back?"
"When we return to the emperor, the imperial envoy who went earliest arrived in the northwest in these two days. Your Highness is rushing back as fast as possible. It will take a month and a half no matter how fast." The confidant eunuch is an insider and knows why the old emperor is worried.
, but he really can’t help with this kind of thing.
"A month and a half? So, after Ji Yan comes back, he only has less than ten days." The old emperor looked worried. He had managed to put on some meat some time ago, and he had lost weight rapidly in the past two days.
Looks very old.
After such a big thing happened, it was impossible for the old emperor to eat well and sleep well. If he did not do well, it would be a stain on his imperial career, and it was even possible that he would become the last emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is wise and mighty, and he will definitely be able to help you solve your problems." The nice words were free of charge, and the confidant eunuch looked like I admire the emperor's grandson very much.
"I believe him. It's just that he is causing trouble and cannot be negligent." The old emperor placed his hope on Qin Jiyan, but he was also worried that Qin Jiyan would not be able to handle it.
If Qin Jiyan couldn't bear it, he would be the unlucky one.
"Go and find out how much money I have in my private treasury that can be converted into cash." The old emperor had withdrawn money from his private treasury before, but he could not support the next quarter's tax collection.
"Pfft..." The confidant eunuch knelt down straight, "Your Majesty, those are the private collection of the royal family, and every one of them is a treasure."
"I didn't ask you to pick out the valuable things to dispose of and cash in so that others wouldn't be able to recognize them. Those things on the left and right will just gather dust if left in the private treasury." The old emperor didn't pay much attention to the things in his private treasury.
He doesn't know how many years he can live. There are so many things in his private treasury, and he can't use them all for burial. Besides, he won't die for a while, so he can find good things again.
"Slave, I obey." The confidant eunuch did not dare to persuade him any more and bowed down.
Not long after the confidant eunuch left, someone came to report that he was from the Eternal Life Sect and wanted to see him.
When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, "Xuan!"
The people from the Eternal Life Sect came here just to report the good news, that is, they had found the legendary Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix, and were expected to obtain the most important medicine in the Eternal Life Formula—Dragon and Phoenix Fruit.
The Dragon and Phoenix Cities are named after the Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. Only the Dragon and Phoenix Cities can grow the Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. There is only one fruit at a time, but it can make several immortality pills.
The Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix are within the territory of Daqin, and the people from the Changsheng Sect did not dare to act rashly. They came here to report to the old emperor, hoping to get his support and let them lead people into the Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix.
Of course, what the Immortal Gate said was 70% true and 30% false. They had discovered the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Cities a long time ago. Ni Yue, the saint of the Eternal Life Gate, led people into the ruins of the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Cities a month ago, but no news about Ni Yue came out.
The Eternal Life Sect was afraid that Ni Yue would be in danger in the Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix, so they wanted to take people in privately. However, the place in the Twin Cities of Dragon and Phoenix was too evil. They sent several groups of people, but they died outside within two days.
As a last resort, the Eternal Life Sect had no choice but to take advantage of Da Qin, hoping that Da Qin would send someone to explore the way for them.
Although the old emperor knew that his end was approaching, he was still very moved when he heard about the Immortality Pill. The Immortality Pill cannot make people immortal, but it can make people live longer. To get a pill of longevity, the old emperor can live for at least ten more years.
.
After hearing the news about the dragon and phoenix fruit, the old emperor immediately ordered people to dig up the ruins of the Shuangcheng.
The people from the Immortality Sect got the accurate information and left with satisfaction. Of course, they would not forget to leave a bottle of health-restoring pills for the old emperor.
As long as the old emperor lives, it will be convenient for them to do things within the territory of Daqin. If Qin Jiyan takes over, they, the Immortal Sect, will probably not get any benefits.
Regarding the longevity pill, the old emperor acted very quickly. He ordered the troops that afternoon, and early the next morning, an elite force of 5,000 people headed for the Shuangcheng ruins, with Nagato's people following behind.
At this time, Ni Yue and his party, who were trapped in the abandoned city, finally walked out of the abandoned city by chance and came to the Snake Forest. However, their good luck seemed to have run out...
When Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng were there, all the snakes in the snake forest were entangled in the trees and unable to get down, as if they were one with the trees. But when Ni Yue and the others came over, the snakes in the trees were not controlled, and they could
Free to leave the tree and wander around, even without being affected by special substances in the soil, you can go anywhere.
Not only the snakes in the trees, but also the snakes in the snake dens are not like before, staying peacefully behind the snake forest and wandering around in search of food.
There were too few things that could be found in the ruins of the twin cities, so when Ni Yue and his party came outside the city, they were treated as food by the snakes. As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by pythons. Although they relied on snake meat and snake blood, they could temporarily
They had enough food and clothing, but they also fell into endless fighting...
