Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 488 Maid, do you know what's wrong?

Niu Yuxian spent half the night stealing a bunch of equipment from the penance workshop.

Said to be a pile, all the equipment is packed in one box, and Niu Yuxian can carry it by himself. This is the foundation of the Mohist penance.

"Zhiqiong, I didn't come back alone. Two brothers also came back. It's up to you to take them with you or not."

This is Niu Yuxian's style, brotherhood must be taken into account, but there must be rules.

"Which two people?"

"Chu He and Wu Shanxing."

Chu He returned to the northern border, because there was no battle to fight and no one to kill, so his cultivation of killing Dao had been stopped at the eighth rank.

Wu Shanxing's situation was better. He had fought two battles with Tu Nu, and his military skills had risen to the upper eighth rank, but he hadn't improved since then.

The two of them went back to the capital to rest for a few days before working in the district office. Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and decided to bring the two of them along.

The cultivation base of the eighth rank is a bit lower, but these two brothers are reliable.

Xu Zhiqiong won't treat them badly either, let them earn enough money, and let them earn enough cultivation base.

After the discussion was settled, Xu Zhiqiong asked Han Chen and Tong Qingqiu to take the three brothers to Yu Xianguo's Cong'an County.

Xu Zhiqiong bought a bunch of paper figurines, and brought Yang Wu, Chang Decai and Liang Zhenjie back to Yu Xianguo's Marquis Mansion.

Before the fierce battle, some preparations had to be made. Liang Zhenjie arranged the tactical details to Yang Wu and Chang Decai, while Xu Zhiqiong had other important matters to deal with.

……

In Yanghuan Palace, Princess Yanghuan doesn't think about tea or food, and sits in the bedroom in a daze all day long.

She has always firmly believed that with her intelligence and her brother's ambition, she will be able to create a great career.

She also firmly believes that one day, when the country is unified, Dayu will regain its former glory and become a big country that can stand up to Xuan Guo and Fan Xiao.

She has thought countless times about the grand occasion of the celebrations of various clans in the royal capital.

There was only one thing she could think about now.

After Wansheng City was captured, where should the royal family flee.

She has already seen the courage of the emperor's brother.

It is impossible to defend the city and fight until one soldier dies.

If Yan Huan lost the army, her imperial brother would run away immediately, but it was still unclear whether she could bring other members of the royal family with her.

Where can I escape?

Go north to Xuanguo?

Brother Huang has arrested Xu Zhiqiong, this hatred, Xuan Guo will never let it go, I am afraid that Xuan Guo will not have a place for them.

Going west, to Fanxiao Kingdom?

Leaving aside whether the friendship between Fan Xiao Kingdom and Da Yu is true or not, there is no way for the royal family to escape through the border of the Gu people.

To the south, go to the small countries of Boye, Tugan, and Luoyan to live temporarily?
These small countries have received a lot of favors from Da Yu, so they should be able to accommodate them for a while.

But presumably only for a while.

The strength of these countries is too weak, if the Gu clan is a bit intimidated, they will sell the Dayu royal family.

Go east to sea?
Where do you go after you go to sea?

Yelang country?
Yelang Kingdom is a good place to go. It is said that my elder brother and Lord Yelang often exchange letters.

But no matter which country he went to, he could only live in fear and live on in this life.

Since then, Wang Tu's hegemony has become a dream, and he is anxious, like a bereaved dog.

Maybe there is still some hope, maybe Ju Liang can ask for some reinforcements from Fanxiao Kingdom...

Thinking of this, Yang Huan suddenly slapped himself hard.

At such a time, I am still daydreaming!

Ju Liang is a member of Nufu Sect!The Nufu Cult is the actual controller of the Gu clan.

Ju Liang is Da Yu's enemy!

Now that Da Yu broke with Xuan Guo, it was all caused by this dog thief, how could he go to Fan Xiao to ask for reinforcements, he can't wait for Da Yu to perish!

Yang Huan slapped himself again.

If he has the guts to risk his life, he must be exposed!
If he is exposed, at least he will not break with Xuan Guo, and Dayu Jiangshan can still be saved!

Now go to Brother Huang to clarify, is there still time?
Yang Huan still hesitated, and couldn't help but slapped himself again.

At this point, what are you still hesitating about?
She got up and was about to leave when she suddenly heard someone shout, "It's a light blow."

Yang Huan turned around suddenly, only to see Xu Zhiqiong standing behind him.

In astonishment, Yang Huan wanted to greet 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 don't want to go, I'll hit you for you!"

"You, where did you come from, you, didn't you already, where did you start talking..."

"It was you who said it at the beginning. If you can't persuade your brother, you can be a servant girl for me. Now I want to make a move on you. You only hit me lightly a few times!"

Yang Huan was silent for a moment, raised his hand and slapped himself on the face, crisp and loud, leaving a row of fingerprints.

Xu Zhiqiong held back his smile.

Yang Huan held back her tears.

This princess is much stronger than her imperial brother, she can spare herself at the critical moment of life and death.

Xu Zhiqiong straightened his expression and said, "Maidservant, do you know what's wrong?"

Yang Huan nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Do you still want to save you, Da Yu?"

"miss you!"

Yang Huan's voice trembled a little.

"Do you think Da Yu can be saved?"

"It can be saved!" Yang Huan raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "As long as Da Xuan is willing to send troops, I, Da Yu, can still be saved."

"How does Daxuan send troops? Your emperor brother won't allow it at all!"

"I'm going to persuade the emperor, I'm going to the palace now, I will be able to..."

"Don't say that useless nonsense!"

Yang Huan lowered her head, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

What Xu Zhiqiong said was right, Shicai was a stupid remark, she couldn't persuade the emperor at all, and now she couldn't do anything except beg Xu Zhiqiong.

"Yun Hou, as long as there is a way to save me, Da Yu, I can agree to anything, not to mention being a slave, even being a cow or a horse, I am willing!"

Xu Zhiqiong sighed and said, "Tell me first, how many third-rank cultivators does Yu Xian have?"

Yang Huan raised his head and said: "Third rank among the Gu rebels, do you count?"

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "That's the third rank of the enemy, so why count it with you?"

Yang Huan sighed and said, "Dayu only has two practitioners of the third rank of the Life Dao, and the highest cultivators of the rest of the Taoism are no more than the sixth rank."

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his face and said, "Are you lying to me again? Yu Xian is the orthodox under the True God of Suzaku, and there is no blood limit in the practice of the Dao of Life. How could there be only two third-rank?"

Yang Huan said: "This is my Da Yu's rule. There can be no more than two third-grade Dao practitioners, otherwise there will be suspicion of treason."

"If someone has cultivated to the third rank, how can you still kill him?"

Yang Huan shook his head and said, "No one can do it. If the fourth rank is promoted to the third rank, there must be another third rank to lead the way. Without the emperor's order, the third rank cultivator must not lead the way for other cultivators, otherwise he will be punished as treason."

"Why can't other Taoist sects pass the sixth rank?"

Yang Huan said: "This is the rule established since the Gu clan's rebellion. The Gu clan was originally a branch of the Suzaku True God, but because there were too many high-level cultivators, it caused rebellion.

Since then, Dayu has strictly controlled the cultivation bases of various paths. If anyone exceeds the sixth rank, they will be expelled from the country immediately, and those who conceal and do not report will be killed. "

What kind of weird idea is this?

There are already many high-grade cultivators of the Gu clan, but Yu Xian is still here to abolish his martial arts.

If it weren't for the special way of life and sufficient money and food, this kingdom would not be able to survive today.

"Where did the other third rank go? Did he go out with the army?"

Yang Huan shook his head and said, "The other third-rank cultivator is Wei Wei Jinqing, who has lived in the palace for many years."

"Weiwei? It's equivalent to the official position of Da Dian Ke?" Xu Zhiqiong also studied Yu Xianguo's official system, Da Dian Ke, Da Fengchang, Wei Wei, Lang Zhongling, these people are Yu Xianguo's highest-ranking courtiers.

Yang Huan nodded.

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "Why have I never seen this person before?"

"This is the law enacted by my elder brother. Wei Wei is not allowed to have contact with outsiders since he took office. He lives and eats in the palace."

Xu Zhiqiong widened his eyes and said, "A third-rank cultivator just lives in the palace all the time, without contact with outsiders at all?"

This Weiwei can really bear loneliness.

Yang Huan explained: "Weiwei's diet and residence are the same as the emperor's. Every year, fifty maids go to serve the pillows and mats, and all of them are replaced in the next year. His family members can get a salary of one hundred thousand taels of silver every year."

Food, drink, flowers, and sleep are all of the highest standard.

So this third grade willingly became the emperor's tool man.

Originally, there were strict restrictions on his cultivation, and he had to reserve a top-level combat power for his own use.

Prior to this, Yan Huan was sent to foreign countries as an envoy.

What a magical operation.

No wonder Da Yu's son Lang is dying.

Xu Zhiqiong said again: "Yanhuan's side, how many days can the food and grass last?"

"Three days, at most three days."

"If I can't save him within three days, do you have any way out?"

Princess Yanghuan said sadly, "There is no way out!"

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 retreat, flee north to Daxuan, west to Fanxiao Kingdom, south to Boye, Tugan and other small countries, or go east to the sea and flee to Yelang Kingdom. "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "It's good if there is a way out. I will try my best to persuade Emperor Changle. If within two days, he is willing to send troops, you can still save Da Yu. If he refuses to send troops, you can run away with your emperor brother." Bar."

Yang Huan cried and shook his head, "I won't run away, I won't go anywhere, if I die, I will die in Wansheng City."

"So bloody!" Xu Zhiqiong sighed, "Give me an identity so that I can move freely in Yuxian's whole territory. In addition, I have a few helpers who are going to Cong Anzhou. You have to ensure that they are not blocked. Do it."

The border was heavily guarded. If it wasn't for Xu Zhiqiong's identity, it would have been difficult for Tao Huayuan to enter the country. This matter had to be resolved by Yang Huan.

Yang Huan nodded and said, "This matter is easy to talk about."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "What you and I said today, don't let your brother know, otherwise all previous 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 brought her, she must trust her brother more.

That's right.

These things must be known to Yu Xianhuang.

Xu Zhiqiong trusted Yu Xianhuang's courage!
