Chapter 390 This is a well-planned conspiracy
Pei Anzhu's tenth day of retreat.

Officer Du and Shen Yueran, together with their comrades from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, swept away all the remaining forces of the black-robed men outside.

Shen Yueran can now stand alone. Although her abilities are not as powerful as Pei Anzhu's, she still has no problem dealing with ordinary monsters and monsters.

At the same time, the search for herbal medicines in the medical community is progressing smoothly, and many effective substitutes have been found.

Just when everyone thought that everything was moving in a good direction, Director Guo suddenly received a call from the big leader. After answering the call, his face looked very ugly.

It happened that Shen Yueran and Officer Du returned to the Yitiao Bureau to rest after their busy work. Seeing Bureau Guo's expression, they were both curious.

"What happened?" Shen Yueran asked.

Director Guo is in charge of the affairs of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, but there is nothing particularly difficult for the Bureau to handle at the moment. What happened to make Bureau Guo look like this?
Bureau Guo glanced at them and said:
"The leader just called me and said that the relevant departments have received a request from a foreign mission to visit."

"When a foreign mission comes to visit, the department responsible for diplomacy will naturally handle it. What does it have to do with us?" Officer Du frowned.

"Because the other party came in the name of exchanging academic knowledge and exchanging exercises." Director Guo said, "People from many countries including Wanta Country, Elephant Country, Cherry Blossom Country, Wutong Country, and Maple Leaf Country have applied to visit our country. , and these countries all have one thing in common, that is, they have many talented people in their country.”

For example, the Buddhist lama of the Ten Thousand Towers Kingdom, the head-turning master of the Elephant Kingdom, the Onmyoji of the Sakura Kingdom, the vampire hunter of the Wutong Kingdom, the witch of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, etc.

Bureau Guo relayed the words of the big leader:

"The purpose of their application to visit is Master Pei. They heard that a Xuanmen master appeared in the Dragon Kingdom and was very powerful, so they wanted to discuss skills and techniques with her and asked for our country's permission."

"The big leader checked it out, and it is said that this group of people suddenly united together, and the leader was a descendant from the Elephant Kingdom named Heza."

After hearing this, Shen Yueran said:
"I think I've heard the name Heza before!"

"I remember it! It was Xiaozhu who told me that my dad's driver, Li Guokun, had a daughter, Li Yuanyuan. Xiaozhu and I used to be college classmates. Li Yuanyuan and the others went to the Elephant Country for a graduation trip in the dormitory. Unexpectedly, when they came back, they all came from I brought back a Buddhist amulet from the Yin Temple, and in that Buddhist amulet lived the ghost baby from the Elephant Kingdom."

"Xiaozhu subdued the ghost babies before and interrogated them. The person who created these ghost babies is called Heza!"

After hearing this, Director Guo and Officer Du reacted immediately:
This time, we are here for Pei Anzhu!
"I remember Master Pei said that after dealing with the ghost baby, the master who controls the ghost baby will also suffer backlash. That Heza might have been recovering from his injuries before, but now his injuries are better, so he wants to come to Master Pei to regain his position." Officer Du said.

Director Guo shook his head slightly when he heard this:
"If it's just a personal grudge, it's fine. But I'm afraid the other party has other intentions."

"Don't forget, Master Pei once searched the soul of the man named Lan San, and found out a lot of information about that mysterious organization of evil cultivators, and many of them were on the run. The other two purple-bian elders, one One is in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Towers and the other is in the Kingdom of Elephants.”

"So, Director Guo is worried that this matter is related to that organization?" asked Officer Du.

"Yeah, how can we not be worried? The timing of their arrival is too coincidental." Guo Ju said, "In the past, Master Pei was at the peak of his cultivation, but they didn't expect to come. Now, Master Pei's cultivation has fallen to the bottom. But they want to communicate. I'm afraid that the communication is fake, but wanting Master Pei's life is real."

After the words fell, the three people fell into silence.

Shen Yueran is now the number one person in Xuanmen besides Pei Anzhu. She knows these things better and said:

"Dragon Kingdom has been cursed by a great demon, and the Xuanmen inheritance has been cut off for more than two hundred years. It has only been resumed recently. If we really want to have an exchange competition, Xiaozhu can't get out, so only I can get in."

"But no matter it is the Sakura Kingdom, the Ten Thousand Towers Kingdom or the Elephant Kingdom, their inheritance is continuous. They know many methods. I am worried that I am not their opponent, and I may lose the national prestige."

"I just hate myself for not learning more before. Now that things have come to a head, I am only half-experienced. I can only passively wait for the other party to come knocking on my door."

As he spoke, Shen Yueran's eyes turned red.

Officer Du advised her:
"You are already very powerful. You have only been studying Xuanmen knowledge with Master Pei for more than a year. Being able to draw Qi into your body so quickly is already a gift. Master Pei personally admits this."

"You don't have to belittle yourself. We just lost time because our inheritance was cut off by the curse of the great demon."

After hearing Officer Du's comfort, Shen Yueran understood the truth in her heart, but she couldn't help but worry:

"Other countries don't know about the great demon's curse. Do we still need to tell them? Wouldn't this expose the weakness of the Dragon Kingdom to them? If they rely on the Dragon Kingdom's Xuanmen to wither, in the Dragon Kingdom If there is chaos within the country, what should we do?”

"Furthermore, they took advantage of this time to apply for a visit because they probably realized that Xiaozhu had not broadcast live during this period and knew that there might be something wrong with her, let alone because we lost more than two hundred years. Show mercy."

After hearing this, Director Guo nodded in agreement:

"Yue Ran is right, you can't leak the curse of the big demon, otherwise you will be handing the handle into the hands of others."

"So Director Guo, can we refuse their request for academic exchange?" Officer Du asked, "Master Pei is still in retreat. Miss Shen is not strong enough. Even if we do communicate, we don't have anyone who can fight."

Knowing that this so-called exchange is of no benefit to Long Country, you should be able to refuse it, right?
"We can't refuse." Director Guo shook his head again, "The big leader said that not only can we not refuse, but we should welcome them with great fanfare and not show any intention of shrinking in front of them. Only in this way can they not understand our depth. , I don’t know how many cards we have, so we won’t act rashly.”

Once he refuses, it is equivalent to telling the other party that Long Guo has backed down and is cowardly.

This matter is no longer a simple academic exchange between Xuanmen, but is related to the life, death and future of the country. If the Dragon Kingdom really retreats, it will be a head start in the world.

Regardless of whether they came because of their personal grudge against Pei Anzhu, or because of the instigation from behind by the escaped evil cultivator, the Dragon Kingdom could not retreat and had to fight.

"When will they arrive?" Shen Yueran asked.

"Three days later." Guo Bureau replied.

Officer Du thought for a moment and then said:

"If we really want to solve this calamity, I'm afraid we still have to ask Master Pei to take action, but Master Pei is in retreat and no one can contact her unless she comes out on her own in a month."

"Then all we can do is delay."

Bureau Guo nodded:
"That's right, Master Pei has been in seclusion for ten days. They will arrive in three days, and thirteen days have passed in one month. After they arrive, we will arrange for someone to take them to visit the Dragon Kingdom for a few more days."

"But even so, it won't last twenty days."

"If it doesn't work, just push me out." Shen Yueran said, "Just say that I am Pei Anzhu's apprentice, and that they are not worthy to compare with my master. They must beat me first. I have a little fox, and then I will push Xiao Yu Linglan, who is next to my sister, called back to help, and Xiaozhu gave me control of Ah Pup before going into seclusion. I think if I plan well, I may not be able to delay it for a while. "

"You mean, acting?" Officer Du understood what she said.

Shen Yueran nodded.

It would definitely be incomparable for her to deal with the group of people abroad by herself, but Shen Yueran's main purpose was to delay until Pei Anzhu was released from confinement in a month.

As long as Pei Anzhu comes out, even if her cultivation has not recovered, there may be other ways.

It would be better if Pei Anzhu could be delayed until she could refine the elixir and recover her cultivation. No one in Pei Anzhu's stage of transformation could be her opponent, even if that group of people came together.

After listening to Shen Yueran's words, Bureau Guo thought for a moment and said:

"It's not impossible. This matter needs to be carefully considered. Let's do this, Yue Ran. It just so happens that those things outside have been almost cleared away. I'll leave the rest to Lao Du. You have a good rest these two days. You will need a lot of your time later. "

"I'm going to report back to the leader and ask him to contact Qin Xiaoyu. If possible, we can also use the two monsters we captured before, or even go to Fenlei Mountain to ask for a silver wolf."

After Director Guo finished speaking, he turned around and left. Time was tight. He still had many things to do and couldn't afford to delay.

Shen Yueran and Officer Du looked at each other, said nothing, and left separately to prepare for the upcoming "academic exchange".

And Pei Anzhu didn't know about all this, she was still in seclusion.

What the big leader means is to try not to disturb her. Although this matter can indeed be solved only by her intervention, the Dragon Kingdom cannot rely entirely on her and cannot go to her whenever it encounters difficulties. This will only destroy the country's fighting spirit.

Time passed quickly, and three days flew by.

The countries that I applied to visit before have all arrived as they said.

They even arrived at the same time and on the same plane, for fear that Long Guo would not know that they had already joined forces. On Long Guo's side, Officer Du took Shen Yueran to greet them.

No matter what the private quarrels are in the exchanges between countries, face-saving must be sufficient.

Those people are using the guise of academic exchanges and friendly interactions, so Longguo also has to be hospitable and welcoming——

Officer Du is the second-in-command of the Irregular Affairs Bureau, so coming to pick them up is a big deal.

As for Shen Yueran, she came here purely as an assistant. After all, Long Guo's strategy was to delay. She had no intention of exposing her identity from the beginning. She just wanted to follow Officer Du and observe this group of people under the guise of being an assistant. people.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Shen Yueran has only been exposed to Xuanmen knowledge for a short period of time, less than a year. Compared with these people, her background is definitely not enough, so she can only work hard elsewhere.

At least, when she actually comes forward to compete, at least she won't lose Pei Anzhu's face and reputation.

As both parties introduced themselves, Shen Yueran also figured out the names of this group of people:
He Zha, the leader of the Elephant Kingdom, the previous owner of the ghost baby, was also the leader of this group of foreign warlocks visiting the Dragon Kingdom. He organized this group of people, who had past grudges with Pei Anzhu and had no good intentions.

Kue, a Buddhist lama from Wanta Kingdom, was wearing a tattered cassock. He looked like an unkempt middle-aged man. He was closest to Heza. When they came out of the airport, they were talking and they seemed to have a good relationship. .

Abe Jinsuke, the Onmyoji of Sakura Kingdom, is a very cold-looking man, about thirty years old, who seems to be not very gregarious, and he is far away from other people.

The remaining two are both women.

One is a vampire hunter from the Wutong Kingdom, named Annie. She has chestnut curly hair and wears leather clothes and leather pants. She looks cool and sassy. She has big breasts, a slim waist, and long legs. She is a royal sister.

The other is a witch from the Maple Leaf Country, named Melissa. She is wearing a dark wizard robe and a large hood that covers half of her face, making her look very mysterious.

Shen Yueran remembered all the names and identities of these five people.

Afterwards, Officer Du said to the leaders of the foreign magician group:
"Dear guests have come a long way and have a hard time traveling all the way. We have prepared a place to rest. Please get in the car with us and take you to rest."

"In addition, we have also arranged many Dragon Kingdom-specific activities to entertain you. If you need anything else, just let our escorts know. As long as we are within our capabilities, we will try our best to do it."

The foreign magicians have specialized translators. After all, these five magicians are from different countries, so they hired a person who is proficient in the languages ​​​​of these five countries to translate for them.

After the translator relayed Officer Du's words to them, Heza immediately asked:

"We are here specifically for the Dragon Kingdom's master of metaphysics, Qingzhu Immortal. I wonder why we didn't see Qingzhu Immortal today?"

After hearing this, Officer Du's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened slightly.

He couldn't help but said:

As expected, this group of people came for Pei Anzhu, and even made sufficient preparations before coming.

After all, Pei Anzhu always wears a Nuo god mask when broadcasting fortune-telling broadcasts in the Dragon Kingdom. She has never shown her true face in public. Others only know that she is a young woman.

But Shen Yueran is also a young woman, almost the same age as Pei Anzhu.

If you hadn't bothered to inquire, you might have mistakenly thought that Shen Yueran was the Qingzhu Immortal Lord. After all, it stands to reason that the Qingzhu Immortal Lord belongs to the Dragon Kingdom Warlock, so he should naturally accompany Officer Du to greet him.

However, this Heza insisted that Immortal Qingzhu was not there, indicating that he knew what Immortal Qingzhu looked like.

All the enemies who had fought against Pei Anzhu had seen Pei Anzhu's true appearance, but they were either dead or captured and locked up. The only exception was the evil cultivator from the Five Formations Sect who escaped.

Officer Du speculated that He Zha and the evil cultivator were probably related in some way.

And the foreign magician group took this opportunity to come to the Dragon Kingdom to "exchange academics". Maybe the evil cultivator was behind it, and this was a well-planned conspiracy against Pei Anzhu.

Although he guessed the purpose of these people, Officer Du said calmly:

"How could Qingzhu Immortal Lord, who is such a powerful figure, come out casually? She is in seclusion, and we don't want to disturb her. I believe the same is true for all the guests. When you are practicing in seclusion, you shouldn't let others disturb you, right?"

When the five people heard this, their faces looked a little ugly.

They did not ask where Pei Anzhu was, but were defeated instead. If they admitted that they could not be disturbed while practicing, it would be equivalent to acknowledging that Pei Anzhu would not come out in the near future; but if they denied it, it would mean that they were in My own country has no majesty or status. I can disturb it whenever I want.

Shen Yueran lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Unexpectedly, Officer Du had excellent professional abilities in catching criminals and solving cases, but he was also very good at using official accents in such a shady manner, and he immediately silenced the group of people.

However, Hezha and the others came here specifically for Pei Anzhu this time and would not give up so easily, so he asked again:

"We are here for a friendly competition. Does the Qingzhu Immortal have to stay in seclusion while we compete? She never shows up. Who knows if she is really in seclusion or is she afraid of us?"

Officer Du did not tolerate them at all and said directly:
"This is easy to do! Since you want to discuss with Qingzhu Immortal, you can definitely choose a day when she is not in seclusion! This time you come over and have fun in our Dragon Kingdom. Our Dragon Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, and there are many interesting places. There are a lot of delicious food, which will definitely make your trip worthwhile. ”

Everyone:...

Doesn't this blatantly tell them that if they want to compete, they should just wait for Qingzhu Immortal to finish his retreat, otherwise they will be worse than Bibi. Qingzhu Immortal's ability cannot be doubted. If you don't believe it, you can do it yourself.

Officer Du looked fearless, as if he really relied on the support of Immortal Lord Qingzhu and did not take these people seriously.

Two consecutive attempts were blocked by Officer Du, neither softly nor hard. Heza's face looked a little ugly, but he had not achieved his goal, and it was impossible for him to turn away now. He could only smile again:
"Officer Du is joking, what's the harm if we wait for Qingzhu Immortal to come out of seclusion? But before she comes out, there are always other people in the Dragon Kingdom who can compete with us, right? I hope that by then, I can see you Dragon Kingdom warlocks. sharp."

It was obviously very weak, but Officer Du was steady, and he nodded calmly:

"Of course."

"I can see that you are very eager to communicate and discuss, but there is no way. We are still building the competition venue. You also know that the Dragon Kingdom has always been very strict about metaphysics. Common people There are very few people involved in this matter. It is okay for competitions, but it cannot cause panic to the society. This is the consensus. "

"So, I ask you all to do as you please and do as the locals do. We will start the competition after we have completed the construction of the venue. Before that, you can enjoy your time in the Dragon Kingdom."

After hearing the news, the five foreign warlocks looked at each other in unison, showing clear expressions:
The Dragon Kingdom is stalling for time. It seems that the rumor is true. Qingzhu Immortal Lord is really seriously injured and cannot come out. Moreover, the Dragon Kingdom has no other Xuanmen disciples who can come forward to compete.

If they can trample Dragon Kingdom under their feet in the exchange competition this time, it will definitely lower Dragon Kingdom's international status by a lot. Maybe their respective countries can get some benefits from it.

The two parties spent a lot of time at the airport, fought each other for several rounds, and finally got in the car.

Officer Du sent the foreign sorcerers group to the Yuncheng Guest House. This place is a high-standard hotel specially designed to entertain foreign guests. The chefs inside are also at the state banquet level and are kept to ensure that they eat well and sleep well.

After settling this group of people, Officer Du personally stayed here to accompany them, as did Shen Yueran.

In the next few days, these people traveled around under the leadership of Officer Du and Shen Yueran. Because they had just arrived in Long Country, they were still very novel about this place. In addition, Officer Du entertained them very well and the locals were very welcoming. So they didn't refuse the kindness and simply played around for a few days.

From the perspective of He Zha and others, the purpose of their visit was to determine whether Pei Anzhu was seriously injured.

If Pei Anzhu was seriously injured, they would take the opportunity to secretly attack during the competition and try to aggravate Pei Anzhu's injuries. If they could kill her, that would be even better.

If Pei Anzhu doesn't show up, then they will have to compete and work together to trample the Dragon Kingdom under their feet in exchange for benefits.

No matter what the situation is, the competition is about competition anyway, so there is no rush to eat, drink and have fun in these two days. Wouldn't it be better to give Long Guo a show of strength?

After playing for about four or five days, Heza and the others felt that they could not drag it on any longer, so they approached Officer Du:

"Should the venue for the competition be built, right? It is said that Dragon Kingdom is the fastest in the world. It is just a competition venue. It has been five days. If it has not been built yet, then we have to wonder whether the reputation that has been spread in the past is still there. Bragging."

"We have rested enough in the past five days and adapted to the environment and diet of your Dragon Country. So Officer Du, when can you call out the Xuanmen disciples of your Dragon Country so that we can meet them?"

At this moment, only eighteen days have passed since Pei Anzhu went into retreat.

Officer Du adhered to the principle of procrastinating for a day and said:

"The venue has indeed been built and is being cleaned today. Tomorrow, I will take you there and introduce the Xuanmen disciples to you."

Anyway, I have been waiting for several days, so I am not in a hurry for this day. He Zha nodded:
"Okay, just tomorrow. I hope Officer Du won't break his promise."

The sun rose and the moon set. As the day passed, Officer Du sent a car to pull the group of people to the so-called competition venue. It was actually a wasteland that was originally planned to be opened up to imprison the big python.

But because everyone later proposed to imprison the boa constrictors near the military base in Area U, this area became vacant.

In the past few days, the Immigration Bureau sent people to work overtime and built a fake venue. It looked very much like that. If you didn't look carefully, it looked like it had been built with a lot of effort.

But if you are knowledgeable, you can tell at a glance that this place is just a showpiece.

Fortunately, these foreign sorcerers were not experts in the field, and they could not understand it. They just thought that this place was well built, and they thought that Long Guo had put a lot of effort into it. They did not think that Officer Du was lying before.

After arriving at the place, Heza looked around and then asked Officer Du:

"Where are you Xuanmen disciples of the Dragon Kingdom? Are you trying to find some way to delay it again? If this is the case, then I really think that the Xuanmen of the Dragon Kingdom are all cowardly turtles who don't even dare to compete. "
