This is really treating the other person in his own way.
Qu Le hurriedly asked: "Axun and Xiaoyu disappeared together. Why did you only rescue Axun? Where was the little fish man?"
Elder Lan looked at her with a strange look: "How do you know Xiaoyu?"
Qu Le repeated again seriously: "Because I am Qu Le, grandpa!"
Elder Lan still didn't believe it, but seeing that she was helping to save people, he didn't scold her any more, but he looked at her with a look that clearly meant she was talking nonsense again.
Qu Le scratched her head depressedly: "How on earth do you want to believe that I am your granddaughter?"
"My granddaughter will not look like you," Elder Lan's tone became a little sad, "my granddaughter has now been sealed in an ice coffin."
Qu Le looked at him in astonishment: "My body hasn't been buried yet?"
"Li Changfeng said he didn't want A Le to sleep alone in the ground, nor did he want to burn her body to ashes, so he sent someone to find an ice coffin. After putting A Le's body in it, it would remain incorruptible forever.
.”
Qu Le immediately grabbed his sleeve and asked excitedly: "Do you know where my body is?"
Her question was too strange, but Elder Lan was too lazy to correct it. He said: "Originally, Li Changfeng wanted to take A Le to Wushuang City, but I firmly disagreed. In the end, he made a concession and agreed to take the equipment to Wushuang City."
Ah Le's ice coffin sank to the bottom of Huagu Lake, and in exchange, Li Changfeng took Ah Le's heart."
"What does he want my heart for?"
Elder Lan said calmly: "He burned Ah Le's heart to ashes and put it into a brocade bag to carry with him."
Music:
What's going on when I suddenly feel a chill down my spine?
Hey, hey, hey, please let me go!
Qu Le asked carefully what had happened in the past three years, thinking that during his absence, everyone had a wonderful life. But what surprised Qu Le the most was that the King of the Snow Region had passed away.
, before his death, he passed the throne to King Ling.
King Ling succeeded to the throne, and Prince Yu's palace was burned to the ground. Logically speaking, King Jiu couldn't sit still. The strange thing is that he actually stayed peacefully in his palace, without anything happening, as if he had tried his best to fight for it.
It seems that he is not the one who has the right to inherit the throne.
However, it was precisely because King Ling succeeded to the throne that the incident of Xiao Feng leading people to burn down Prince Yu's Mansion did not become a big deal. Both parties had a tacit understanding to suppress the matter, pretending that nothing had happened, and each one was better than the other.
Pretend to be calmer.
Qu Le thought about it, this was contrary to King Ling's past behavior style!
King Ling has always had a reputation for benevolence. Even if King Yu refuses to deal with him, he is still his brother. His brother's house was burned down to nothing. Even if he is just showing off, he should stand up and arrest the arsonist.
Come down and interrogate Haosheng. Now he doesn't ask anything and just lets the arsonist leave safely. It is very harmful to his reputation for kindness.
There are weirdos every year, but there are especially many this year. Qu Le asked the doubts in his heart.
Elder Lan said: "It's not that King Ling doesn't want to pursue this matter, but that he has just succeeded to the throne and his foundation is not yet solid. In addition, his troops were attacked by a pack of wolves outside the city and most of them were killed or injured. His strength has been greatly reduced. He has too much time to take care of himself and really has no choice.
Please take care of our trivial matters."
Besieged by wolves? Qule was curious: "Where did the wolves come from?"
"I'm not sure about that either."
After Qu Le had finished asking all the questions he wanted to ask, it was Elder Lan's turn to ask: "Are you sure that the betrayer's hard work can save our people?"
Qu Le said with certainty: "If the betrayer is the one who cast the poison, then we can definitely save people."
After hearing this, Elder Lan seemed to have made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "With your words, I will fight for my life and go to the Garuda Kingdom again!"
Qu Le was slightly startled: "What are you doing in Jialou Kingdom?"
Elder Lan gave her a strange look, thinking that these were all major events that had happened recently. Why didn't she know anything? Could it be that she had been living in isolation in the mountains and forests for the past three years?
Qule touched her nose: "I know I'm very beautiful now, but you don't have to stare at me like this, I'll be shy."
Elder Lan: "..."
He coughed twice, pretending not to hear what she just said, and directly answered the previous topic: "Three years ago, the King of Garuda celebrated his birthday, and it happened to be that time when he could see the wonder of the seven-star continuum, so he invited
The kings from all over the world came to watch it together, and on the night of the seven-star continuum, the legendary city that had sunk into the ground suddenly emerged from the ground."
Qu Le raised her hand and asked: "What is the legendary city?"
"It is the capital of the ancient Garuda Kingdom. Its original name was Moonlight City. After the death of King Yulan, Moonlight City sank into the ground and was buried forever in the desert. Legend has it that someone once saw the Moonlight City in the desert.
The mirage in the city was prosperous and wealthy. People wore gold and silver. There were countless gold and silver jewelry everywhere. Even the walls and floors were paved with gold. Over time, some people began to spread rumors that it was fish orchid.
Before the king died, he stored all the treasures he had collected in his life in Moonlight City. As long as he could find Moonlight City, he could get those treasures. Unfortunately, except for mirages, no one had really seen Moonlight City, so it became a
The legendary city in my mouth means a city that will always exist in legends..."
Qu Le immediately interrupted his narration and looked at him in shock: "What did you just say? King Yulan? Is this his title? Or his name?"
"His real name is Yu Lan, and later generations will call him King Yu Lan," Elder Lan looked at her like an idiot, obviously despising her for not knowing this bit of common sense.
Qu Le subconsciously touched his neck, twitching the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Continue talking, don't pay attention to me."
Elder Lan glanced at her speechlessly and continued: "Since the legendary city reappeared in the world, it immediately attracted a large number of people to go in and take risks. They tried to get the treasures. As a result, most of the people who went in were unsuccessful.
Back. Until a month ago, a man came back alive from the city, but when he came out he had become crazy and delirious. Ask him what happened in the city, and he couldn’t tell clearly, but he inadvertently
The wish-granting box was mentioned, so everyone speculated that there might be a wish-granting box hidden in that mysterious city."
Qu Le asked curiously: "Do you believe there is really a box in this world that can make people's wishes come true?"
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is that there are many people who believe it." Elder Lan paused and his expression became a little solemn. "For example, Li Changfeng, he firmly believes in it and even goes to the trouble to
I personally went to the Kingdom of Garuda to look for the wish-fulfillment box."
Qule was stunned: "Why does he want that box?"
"He didn't say it, but I can guess that he probably wanted to use the power of the box to resurrect Ah Le."
Hearing this, Qu Le felt a little sour and swollen in his heart, but he still said sternly: "People can't be resurrected after death, so why does he always do these thankless things?"
Elder Lan sighed helplessly: "I think it would be better to let him find something to divert his attention, so that he would not be immersed in the grief of losing his loved one all day long. Didn't you see what he lived after Ale's death?
On some days, just looking at her like that makes me feel suffocated."
Qu Le knows better than anyone how paranoid Xiao Feng is. He is used to being domineering and forceful. Once he identifies someone or something, he will not give up until he achieves his goal.
But no matter how powerful he is, he still seems powerless in the face of life and death. Once this powerlessness takes over his mind, he will not know how to live.
Maybe Elder Lan is right. Although wishing for things in a box sounds quite shady, at least it can temporarily divert Xiao Feng's attention, so that he will no longer be overly immersed in grief.
The topic returned to business, and Elder Lan continued: "There are many people who want to get the wish box, and there are even more people who want to get the treasure left by King Yulan, including those who are betrayers.
"
Qu Le showed a clear expression. She thought about it and said worriedly: "Moonlight City is full of dangers. If you go to Moonlight City to find them, wouldn't you have to go deep into the tiger's den? What if you encounter danger?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. The sadness of watching your loved ones die but being unable to do anything about it is something I never want to feel again in my life."
His expression was extremely firm, and he was not shaken by Qu Le's words at all. Qu Le had no choice but to ask: "When do you plan to set off?"
The tribesmen were still waiting for help, so the sooner the better, so they said decisively: "Let's set off early tomorrow morning."
That night, Elder Lan arranged all the affairs of the clan, explained the situation to several other elders, and asked them to help take care of the clansmen during his absence. The elders suggested that he take more clansmen on the road, so that when encountering
If there is an emergency, someone can help, but Elder Kelan did not agree.
He said: "The future of this journey is uncertain. I don't know if I can come back alive. I am just a bad old man of a certain age. I am content to live to this age. It would not be a pity even if I die. But if I harm other people
It would be too selfish to die together, and I absolutely cannot do this."
After a long time of persuasion, everyone finally persuaded Elder Lan to relent, but he only agreed to take one person with him.
This person is Lang Li.
Early the next morning, Elder Lan and Lan Li climbed into the carriage with their simple luggage, and prepared to leave for a long journey amidst the farewells of the tribesmen.
Just as Lang Li waved his riding crop and was about to drive away, he was suddenly stopped by a crisp voice.
"Wait for me!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw Qu Le carrying a baggage on her back and rushing out with a big meat bun in one hand. Ignoring Lan Li's strange gaze, she quickly climbed onto the carriage and grinned: "I'll go with you.
"
Lan Li looked at the piece of green vegetable leaf between her teeth and was speechless.
Eating a steamed bun can be so rough, it really ruins that beautiful face!
Everyone stared blankly at Qu Le who suddenly rushed out, wondering what she meant.
Elder Lan lifted up the car curtain, leaned out half of his body, and looked at her doubtfully: "What are you doing here?" (To be continued)
