Chapter 439 Mengli, I miss you so much
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
The moon is obscured by the lingering clouds, the hills are rolling and there are shadowy dense forests in the distance, which look like the phantom of an empty mountain from afar. Occasionally, the cry of a jackdaw breaks the tranquility of the forest.
After Liu Huiyang escaped from the trap, he flew a hundred miles before stopping. He looked at the prosperous Tianguan City behind him from afar, still feeling a little scared.
Lu Zhan ignored his mental journey and asked from the top of the mountain:
"Don't you carry the Yunshui Zen Heart with you? How did you get caught by King Yong? If I hadn't been in Southern Xinjiang, wouldn't the great Yunshui Sect's senior brother have been doomed?"
"..."
Liu Huiyang retracted his gaze, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He put his hands behind his back and tried hard to maintain the image of a senior brother of the Yunshui Sect. However, the situation was really awkward. He coughed dryly and said:
"We didn't cooperate well at the critical moment, so Yunshui Zen Heart didn't work... You know, immortal gate treasures always have some ideas of their own, and we may not be able to use them just right. Of course... I also knew you were in the southern border, so I relaxed my vigilance. This is also trust in you."
"..."
Lu Zhan didn't believe his lies, but seeing that he was so obsessed with being an idol, he didn't expose him and said:
"Did you find anything in Prince Yong's mansion? Or were you caught when you just sneaked in?"
Liu Huiyang's mouth twitched slightly, his pride made him feel embarrassed and depressed:
"How is that possible? We were caught accidentally because we found something. Otherwise, even if we couldn't defeat them, we would still be able to escape..."
"..."
Lu Zhan remained silent, quietly waiting for what was to come.
Liu Huiyang wanted to keep it a secret and save face a little, but the Yunshui Sect disciple next to him couldn't help but say:
"Big Brother, it's already this late, stop putting on airs! Young Master Lu, this is what's going on. We investigated King Yong with the original intention of obtaining evidence that he was behind the Gu insect movement, but we didn't expect to get an unexpected reward..."
"We found out that King Yong actually used cultivators to cultivate, just like the cultivator tragedy in Cuiping Mountain. This is not allowed in Southern Xinjiang. However, the guards in King Yong's mansion are very strict. We were discovered by the other party before we got any evidence... I guess King Yong has already moved the victims, so it may be difficult to find evidence..."
"..."
Although the systems of Da Zhou and Southern Xinjiang are very different, some behaviors are the bottom line.
For example, using cultivators to practice.
At that time, the Prince of Qinghe County took advantage of the cultivators to practice and was immediately executed.
Southern Xinjiang is no exception. Even the royal family cannot persecute the people for practicing.
Lu Zhan thought about it for a moment and felt that this was a pleasant surprise. He said:
"It doesn't matter. I don't need evidence to handle the case."
"?"
Liu Huiyang could hardly maintain his sage-like appearance. He turned around, his mouth twitching: "Ah?"
If you don't pay attention to evidence when handling cases, then what do you pay attention to?
Even if you don't care about evidence, you shouldn't be so confident, right?
Even Gao Wuliang was looking at Lu Zhan... Why do I feel more and more that this guy is not a good person?
Lu Zhan said calmly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Aren't you afraid that we are lying to you?" Liu Huiyang said meaningfully, "Maybe we have a grudge against King Yong, and those words just now were just false accusations against him?"
"..."
Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and moved them slightly: "Really?"
Liu Huiyang noticed that the atmosphere was not right and raised his hand quickly:
"Hey hey hey... I was just joking. What we said is all true... It's just that according to normal procedures, there must be evidence to investigate the case. After all, they are the royal family of Southern Xinjiang. Even if we are from the Yunshui Sect, empty words are useless..."
Having said that, Liu Huiyang's tone became weaker and weaker...
He suddenly understood why his master was so afraid of the Demon Suppression Division... Looking at Lu Zhan's attitude, he probably solved many cases without evidence.
Thinking about the current Grand Master's style of doing things, Liu Huiyang felt that the top beam was not straight and the bottom beams were crooked.
Although he thought so, Liu Huiyang didn't dare to say it.
In fact, if Lu Zhan knew what Liu Huiyang was thinking, he would agree with it. It was not easy for him to remain so upright under the influence of the Grand Master.
“In that case, leave this matter to me.” Lu Zhan suddenly said.
Liu Huiyang looked at Lu Zhan in surprise: "I know you are quite capable, but you can't stand up to King Yong's large number of people. If you are determined to cover up the evidence, you may not be able to find any traces."
Lu Zhan shook his head: "There is no need for me to look for it myself. I have other ways."
"?"
Liu Huiyang had a complicated expression.
what?
Do you have any other solution?
Lu Zhan looked at Gao Wuliang and said, "This is Gao Wuliang, the leader of the Lihuo Gang. Brother Liu, if you have any plans, you can talk to Brother Gao. He might be interested. Of course... my suggestion is that you return to the Middle Earth as soon as possible and stop wandering around in Southern Xinjiang."
Don’t you have any idea of your own abilities?
In the Middle-earth, people would give face to the Yunshui Sect, but in Southern Xinjiang, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the face is becoming less and less.
"..."
After Gao Wuliang learned that Liu Huiyang was a disciple of Yunshui Sect, he wanted to make friends with him. When he heard this, he hurriedly stood up and patted his chest and said:
"Our Lihuo Gang is also a top-notch local gang in Southern Xinjiang. If anyone needs my help, please don't hesitate to ask me. Brother Feng's friends are my friends..."
Liu Huiyang nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for the introduction."
Lu Zhan couldn't wait to implement the plan, so he didn't stay long. After giving some instructions, he turned around and left.
After Lu Zhan left, Liu Huiyang looked at Gao Wuliang and said meaningfully:
"Did you just call him Brother Feng?"
Gao Wuliang said proudly: "Lu Xiaofeng and I are brothers with different surnames. I call him Brother Feng as a sign of intimacy..."
Liu Huiyang blinked: "Oh... Lu Xiaofeng..."
……
-
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sky is bright.
Lu Zhan disguised himself as a middle-aged swordsman and returned to the capital. However, he did not go to the inn, but headed towards the Saint's Palace near the imperial city.
Before coming to Southern Xinjiang, Lu Zhan's plan was to hide his identity and keep a low profile, wandering through various secret realms full of spiritual energy, and taking advantage of the situation to find the magic stone.
But things always change beyond plans.
He first recognized Ji Mengli, and then offended Peacock Mountain, causing the situation in southern Xinjiang to become tense. He was also being watched by various forces. Although he could change his appearance, once the situation became tense, it would naturally be unfavorable for him to search for the magic stone.
Although there is still no clear direction, Lu Zhan already has a basic plan.
First find the dragon vein in southern Xinjiang, use the dragon vein to improve your strength, and then explore Peacock Mountain.
Based on the "key" given by the Peach Blossom Fairy in the Underground Palace, Lu Zhan guessed that this key was related to the God Stone. After all, the God Stone was related to the South Sea Monster Clan, and only the God Stone could be called an "extraterrestrial object."
According to the memories of many peacock spirits, there is a mysterious power in the Thousand Valleys. That power caused the Gu God Palace to disappear, and in order to open the Thousand Valleys, some kind of "key" is needed.
The mysterious power of Qianjue Valley requires a key, and the disaster involving alien objects also requires a key. There may be a connection between the two.
Lu Zhan deduced that the "Stone Man Key" of Fairy Peach Blossom might be the "key" to Qianjue Valley, and that mysterious power was the magic stone.
Once the Thousand Valleys are opened, the magic stone can be found. Since the magic stone is related to the South China Sea demon clan, it can naturally be called a "disaster that concerns all living things."
Although these are all inferences, the inference this time is very strong.
Therefore, Lu Zhan needs to explore Peacock Valley to see if he can find other parts of the stone man. Peacock Valley has been searching for Qianjue Valley for thousands of years, and they may have one of the "keys" in their hands.
But before doing all this, he had to move the eyes focused on him slightly.
This is also the reason why Lu Zhan came to the Holy Maiden Palace.
The Holy Maiden Palace was formerly a royal garden with beautiful scenery. Many spiritual essences were planted in the garden, and it was filled with spiritual energy from afar.
When Lu Zhan arrived in front of the Holy Maiden Palace, he was stopped by the guards.
Lu Zhan smiled and said:
"Please pass on the message that Lu Xiaofeng wants to see the Saint."
After hearing Lu Zhan introduce himself, the guard instantly became alert: "Who?!"
After the battle of Nanping Mountain, the name Lu Xiaofeng spread throughout southern Xinjiang overnight.
The Peacock Mountain massacre alone was enough to shock the world.
But what really shocked the guards was the relationship between "Lu Xiaofeng" and the Saint.
It was said by everyone that Lu Xiaofeng was the Saint Lady's master, so when Xuan Que was killed, Peacock Mountain was the first to find the royal family.
The guards originally thought this was just a rumor, but now it seems...it is probably true!
Lu Xiaofeng actually came to my door!
The guards did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran to pass on the message.
Lu Zhan was waiting slowly. He was not in a hurry to go in, but if Ji Mengli knew he was coming, she would probably be anxious.
……
-
There are more than a dozen spiritual herb gardens in the rolling garden palaces. At this time, the flowers in the spiritual herb gardens are in full bloom, and the fragrance is everywhere.
Ji Mengli was sitting in the spiritual herb garden with the fragrance of flowers and plants, entertaining Qingruo from the Hehuan Sect.
Although the Hehuan Sect is notorious, it has helped Ji Mengli do a lot of things. Ji Mengli looks down on it in her heart, but appears to be very generous on the surface.
"It's winter outside, but the garden is full of spring flowers. This formation is truly amazing."
Qing Ruo held the teacup, looked at the blossoming spiritual herbs, and said with a faint smile: "Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today?"
Because Ji Mengli's body is unable to condense, her temper has been strange and changeable in recent days, and she can be said to be very irritable.
Although Qingruo was a collaborator, he was also affected by a lot of anger. It was rare to see Ji Mengli being in such a refined mood.
Ji Mengli was wearing a black gauze dress, with a belt outlining her perfect waist. She leaned lazily on the beauty couch, revealing her magnificent chest and amazing hip line. At this moment, she slightly raised her chin. Even though she was just a puppet body, she was still full of charm.
She slowly drank a sip of tea, and her already gentle voice became even more delicate and charming:
"The old man from Peacock Mountain has left the capital. Now that no one is causing trouble for me, I am naturally in a much better mood."
When Qing Ruo mentioned this, she raised her eyes slightly, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembling slightly:
"That Lu Xiaofeng is so arrogant that he actually blatantly challenged Peacock Mountain..."
Ji Mengli raised her eyes lazily, her red lips curled up: "He has always been like this."
It has always been like this...
Qing Ruo's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. Ever since she suspected Lu Zhan had come to Southern Xinjiang, she had been investigating him in secret, just to avoid being noticed by the elders, so the progress of this matter was not fast.
But when Lu Xiaofeng challenged Peacock Mountain, Qingruo always felt...that might be Lu Lang!
Otherwise, who can make Ji Mengli suffer in silence?
Who can be so arrogant?
However, she couldn't mention these speculations to Ji Mengli. She and Ji Mengli were just using each other, and the other party was not trustworthy.
Qing Ruo drank a sip of tea, hiding the throbbing in her heart, and said:
"He is your highness's master to the outside world. Will he cause trouble for your highness?"
Ji Mengli snorted lightly: "Humph... He is certainly hateful, but I am not a pushover either. It is still unclear who will cause trouble for whom..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Ji Mengli stopped talking and looked towards the end of the garden. She saw a maid rushing over. When she came closer, she bowed and saluted:
"Saint, there is a man outside who calls himself... Lu Xiaofeng who wants to see you."
pat-
Ji Mengli's wrist trembled slightly, and the cup in her palm was crushed to pieces. The contented expression she had just had disappeared, and what was left was only gloom and bad luck.
This bastard is really unlucky!
She was just bragging in front of Qingruo, but the real owner came to her?
The key point is, at this critical moment, why did this bastard look for her?
Ji Mengli's chest kept rising and falling, but she didn't want Qingruo to notice anything unusual, so she took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said:
"Qingruo, please leave first. I have something else to do."
Thump~
Thump~
Qingruo's heartbeat kept accelerating. She felt that Lu Xiaofeng was Lu Zhan, but Lu Xiaofeng was so elusive that she had no chance to confirm it.
Now the other party has actually come to the Saint Girl Garden...
Qing Ruo wanted to stay and watch, but she knew Ji Mengli would not allow it. She thought for a moment and said:
"Then I'll go first."
After saying this, Qingruo followed the maid and left. When they were halfway there, she sent the maid away and quietly left and returned.
In order to avoid being discovered by Ji Mengli, Qingruo did not approach the spiritual garden, but hid on the road leading to the spiritual garden.
……
-
"Mengli, I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much."
Lu Zhan followed the maid into the cemetery. After the maid left, he couldn't wait to express what he was thinking.
Ji Mengli sat up straight, without any laziness from before, but only alertness and dissatisfaction.
She stared at Lu Zhan with an unhappy look on her face, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously. She suppressed her emotions and said:
"This is the Saint Maiden Palace. How dare you call me by that name?"
Lu Zhan sat opposite her and motioned Ji Mengli to pour tea, saying, "There's no outsider here, don't be nervous."
Ji Mengli was annoyed when she saw Lu Zhan's playful smile. She reluctantly poured a cup of tea for Lu Zhan and said through gritted teeth:
"Why are you looking for me at this time? Don't tell me you want me to help you deal with Peacock Mountain. I don't have that ability."
Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. We are old friends now. Can't I just catch up with you?"
"..."
Ji Mengli snorted coldly, not believing Lu Zhan’s nonsense.
Lu Zhan kept scanning Ji Mengli's body with a surprised look on his face: "It's been so long, and you haven't rebuilt your body yet. I remember I didn't do anything ruthless..."
"?"
When Ji Mengli heard this, she became furious.
No brutal action?
If she hadn't had the hand of God, she would have been beaten to death by Lu Zhan on the spot. How dare this bastard say that he didn't use too much force?
Ji Mengli was too lazy to argue. She stared at Lu Zhan and felt that his smile was asking for a slap. She almost gritted her teeth and said:
"What on earth do you want to see me for?"
Lu Zhan played with the teacup and said slowly, "I came to you to give you a message. I believe this message will be very beneficial to your current situation."
Ji Mengli stood up, her soft black gauze skirt swaying in the wind, she sneered:
"Oh? You'll be so kind as to help me?"
