Chapter 249: The Worst Possible (2nd Update)
It was close to evening when the envoys arrived at the capital of Yongguo, and it was still raining.
Therefore, the corresponding officials of Yongguo were forced to brave the rain to pick up people. According to Shui Xin's identity as a quasi-saintess, there should have been someone from the Star God Sect to receive her, but there was no shadow.
The arrangement conveyed by the officials is-
The next day, let Shui Xin and Zhong Lucheng go to the palace with the court to meet the monarch of Yongguo, and then the queen will receive Shui Xin.
As for whether the prospective crown princess, the former apostle Qingyan, will receive Shui Xin, that's another matter, at least there is no such part in the itinerary conveyed at the first time.
It's really an official anomaly.
Officials like Zhong Lucheng can't help but feel uneasy.
On that day, the envoys lived in the post house, to be exact, the entire envoy group lived in a large compound in the post house, and after resting, Shui Xin was still nothing, and Zhong Lucheng couldn't sit still.
hurriedly cleaned up, pulled Gong Ancheng, and found Shui Xin's room.
Seeing Su Yuqing, who seemed to be admiring the rain hitting the plantain in the yard, Zhong Lucheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Su Yuqing glanced at them with a smile.
Zhong Lucheng didn't know much about the identity of this "follower", but he could roughly guess his identity -- the identity of the monk! Just looking at the other party's appearance in the city of Ruining Mansion, Zhong Lucheng also knew that he could not be underestimated. Where can you care about him for this idle glance?
Zhong Lucheng didn't see it, and pulled Gong Ancheng and the two to sign up at Shui Xin's door to ask to meet.
The soundproofing of the inn's room was not very good, and the two of them could clearly hear someone laughing in the room. "I really found it. ”
The next moment, Zhou Hongyao, who was dressed plainly but had a lonely attitude, opened the door. walked out, "Okay Shui Xin, I won't bother you." ”
didn't even say hello to Zhong Lucheng and the two, and left directly.
Zhou Hongyao's attitude towards human beings has always been more straightforward than Su Yuqing's. Closer to the true attitude of the monks.
It was not the first time that Zhong Lucheng and Gong Ancheng had been ignored by Zhou Hongyao, and they could only look at each other with a wry smile at this time. Fortunately, Shui Xin didn't have any thoughts about not seeing outsiders at night. Just let them in the door.
At least they didn't go in vain.
As a positive envoy, the location where she lives is naturally the best. Although they are all inn rooms, they are much larger than the other rooms. And. There are also a lot of feminine decorations.
In the furnishings and utensils, there is feminine elegance and delicacy. And it can be seen that it has been newly sorted out. Even Shui Xin's spirit beast Xiaobai had a soft nest - at this moment, the wind wolf that had not yet reached adulthood had fallen asleep in the nest according to the usual schedule.
Zhong Lucheng saw this. I breathed a sigh of relief.
- Except for Yunguo. The envoy sent by another country will not be a woman! This room has such an arrangement, it can be regarded as a heart.
Shui Xin had already put down her hair at this time, and was sitting on the edge of a round table, when she saw Zhong Lucheng's obvious change in expression, she raised her eyebrows.
Reaching out for Snow Goose to pour tea, he beckoned, "Sit down." However, the dust is served. If there's anything to say, don't beat around the bush. ”
That being said. Yongguo's two are one writer and one martial artist, especially Zhong Lucheng, but they are still a little restless.
He didn't even care about Xue Yan's action of pouring tea at all, "Lord Shuixin, I also know that you are not a person who likes to be polite, so I will get straight to the point." Lord Shui Xin doesn't think that Yongguo's attitude towards the embassy recently, no, towards our Yun Kingdom is a little strange?"
"Do you think they're neglecting?" Shui Xin laughed meaninglessly.
Zhong Lucheng was puzzled, "Lord Shui Xin, now that the corpse Gu has exploded, Yongguo can be said to be in smoke everywhere. Even if you don't say that you want us to help Yunguo, you shouldn't be estranged from us, ......right?
Shui Xin pouted, "It's all made you straightforward, and you still beat around the bush." Let's just say it, the officials sitting in your position should know what's going on in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, right?"
Zhong Lucheng's face changed, and then he nodded with a wry smile.
Gong Ancheng's face was also a little obscure.
Shui Xin also knows a little - Gong Ancheng has the qualification to cultivate immortals. Su Yuqing said so. However, Gong Ancheng is most likely after the noble ministers of Yun Guoxun. It belongs to the type that knows that he has the qualifications to cultivate immortals, but he can't find a monk sect from another country to cultivate immortals.
"Then you should understand. Although it is said to be the state religion of each country, compared to the immortal cultivation sects behind each country, it is only an outer cabinet. This kind of thing like a corpse Gu is not something that the Star God Sect can really deal with at all. Not to mention that there is a behind-the-scenes driving force behind it - so it should have been taken over by the Seven Yao Men a long time ago. ”
Zhong Lucheng was a little surprised when Shui Xin said this.
Shui Xin is talking eloquently at this time, where is there still a little cold demeanor on weekdays?
Moreover, the ridicule between her eyebrows and eyes at this time made her heroic spirit even more exhausted. Even if the robe is not changed during the day, there is still a special charm in the light......
Zhong Lucheng's heart froze, and he quickly turned his gaze.
Although he is not a Confucian cultivator, he is a politician in the officialdom, and some Confucian classics that are calm and calm can still be recited in any way, and they are indeed useful.
“...... Therefore, Lord Shuixin, it is impossible for the Star God Sect to be so busy that even the capital does not have enough manpower to meet the mission. Zhong Lucheng twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Since there is a master messenger behind the scenes, even if you can make this city full of people not use hot water, you can't be sure that the corpse Gu will definitely not break out in the imperial city, right?"
Shui Xin nodded, "Then?"
Zhong Lu said, "Of course, we have received too little news at this time. But what made Xia Guan even more concerned was that among the people who came to greet him today, there was no one from the queen's mother, and there didn't even seem to be anyone from the prospective crown princess. ”
Shui Xin raised her eyebrows and continued to laugh bluntly, "Maybe they're targeting me." ”
Zhong Lucheng shook his head again and again, "What threat does Lord Shui Xin have to them!?"
Shui Xin was silent for a moment - in front of the corpse Gu, Shen Mu or something, is it really insignificant.
"So?" Shui Xin blinked.
She suddenly realized a possibility-the problems that Zhong Lucheng considered and worried about, maybe, most of them, were different from Su Yuqing's analysis direction?
Sure enough, Zhong Lucheng took a deep breath, "Lord Shui Xin, we must consider the worst possible - Yongguo is now investigating the matter of corpse Gu, so it is possible to find out the messenger, find out the queen and the quasi-crown princess, and implicate Yunguo!"
Shui Xin was a little stammered now.
Su Yuqing analyzed the problem completely from the perspective of the immortal cultivation world. And Shui Xin didn't really take those two women to heart.
So......
Isn't it just a little cold?
How did Zhong Lucheng come to this conclusion?
