Volume 2 Xuanjing Chapter 173 Entering Beijing
This time, Liu Ming just nodded and didn't say anything more.
Mrs. Mi and Sister-in-law Hong took the boy back to the original fire and began to prepare some tonic for the boy to give when he woke up.
Early the next morning, a group of black armor soldiers continued to move in the direction of Xuanjing with several carriages, but there was an extra small carriage pulled by a mule, which looked quite out of place compared to the others.
After yesterday's battle, seven or eight of these Black Tiger Guards were killed, and most of the others were also injured, but the corpses were directly cremated last night, and after the injured people applied some medicine and put on their armor again, except for their faces were slightly pale, there was nothing unusual from the outside.
The giant bow behind the woman surnamed Du was also replaced with a pair of bowstrings, and she once again followed Mrs. Mi's carriage with her armor.
In this way, the group walked farther and farther on the official road, and soon left the earthen temple without a trace.
......
In a richly decorated hall in Xuanjing, a brocade-robed man with an elegant face who seemed to be in his thirties had just finished reading a secret letter from outside Xuanjing in his hand, and suddenly his face changed drastically and patted the table next to him.
"How can this be reasonable, dare to rob and kill my wife and beloved son so close to Xuanjing, really I Qian Chao is a mud fetus Bodhisattva. Someone!" he shouted.
"What does the proprietor command?"
Immediately outside the door, a big man with a tiger's back walked in, and as soon as he entered, he bowed and asked.
"Immediately send the Ba brothers out again, and personally escort the lady to Xuanjing. Other than that. I sent someone to the third prince again, and said that I wanted to borrow his ghost shadow guard and planned to investigate a matter. The brocade-clothed man commanded without thinking.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it. Dahan immediately agreed, and then respectfully stepped back.
"Hmph, my Qian Chao is such a son, no matter who wants to touch him, I will never let him go. The brocade-robed man "hummed" and muttered to himself.
At the same time, in another unusually hidden secret room in Xuanjing, a big fat man covered in silk and satin. The same thunderous outburst.
"Waste. It's all a class of rubbish. The three middle-level Qi Refiners and so many people shot together, but they didn't succeed yet, but they let all the families end up in a nest. Those three Qi Refiners were borrowed by the master with great difficulty, and now they are all buried inside. This brings me back to how to explain to my master. Get lost. Get out of here, the better!"
The fat man was seven feet tall. There is so much fat on his body that his stomach is bulging like a leather ball, but his eyes are wide at the moment. scolded a thin man who looked like a housekeeper in front of him.
The butler-like man was so frightened that he didn't dare to tell the difference, but when he heard the last sentence of the big fat man, he finally let go of his heart and exited the secret room with his head in his arms.
"Brother Mu, you are too lenient with your subordinates, if the people around me make such a mistake, I would have pulled out the Lu and fed the dogs. In the middle of the room, there was another blurred shadow sitting on a chair.
"Hmph, this housekeeper and I have been some time now, and I am a distant relative of my wife, although this time it is not good, it is not good to really punish severely. After the big fat man calmed down the panting in his chest, he said a little helplessly.
"What happens to your men, I naturally won't ask. But this matter was smashed, and even all three of them were buried in it, which is really not good for me to return to my master. The vague figure replied with a sigh.
"It's okay to coax others with this, why bother to deal with Mu. Although three mid-stage qi refiners are rare in Xuanjing, they are just three ordinary guards on the master's side. It is not easy for the master to want a guard of this strength. As long as you help me say a few more good words, Mu will naturally not treat you badly. When the big fat man heard this, he rolled his eyes and said.
Then he took out a bulging cloth bag from his bosom with some pain and threw it into the corner.
"Hehe, I know that Brother Mu won't be stingy when he makes a move. Okay, I'll leave that to me. But you should be careful. Your shot this time can be regarded as a complete tear with Bailingju, that guy is also very powerful in Xuanjing, I'm afraid I will be able to find out about you soon. The blurry shadow grabbed the cloth bag, and after a brief inspection, he said with a satisfied expression.
"I don't need you to say it, I naturally know about it, but the two of us have already fought in the dark, as long as I don't leave Xuanjing for a day, will he dare to come to the door. The fat man surnamed Mu said indifferently.
"Okay, Brother Mu, you just have a plan in your heart, then I'll go back to the master first." The vague shadow nodded and said, and then pinched the trick with one hand, and after a shake of his figure, he disappeared directly into the wall behind him.
This person turned out to be a spiritual disciple as well.
After the big fat man left with a blurred shadow, he paced back and forth in the secret room for a few laps, and suddenly grabbed a teacup on the table, smashed it to the ground, and said to himself with hatred in his mouth:
"Qian Chao, I will never forget the humiliation you gave me before. You're lucky this time, but next time, I, Mu Studios, will never miss again. ”
......
Three days later, Liu Ming's convoy appeared in front of a bustling huge city gate, and above the huge city gate more than ten zhang high, it was impressively inscribed with two big characters "Xuanjing" painted with silver powder.
The whole procession was a long way out, and many people were constantly converging quickly towards the rear of the line from other roads.
On both sides of the city gate, nearly a hundred white-armored warriors stood straight, and someone questioned the convoy entering the city one by one.
On the tall city wall above the city gate, more armor soldiers can be faintly seen holding blades, and there is a giant crossbow several zhang long erected there, and a thick and extremely black crossbow arrow can be faintly seen placed on it, and the front end is all flashing with a strange cold blue light, as if it is not as simple as ordinary crossbow arrows.
Although they were far away, Liu Ming's eyes narrowed, and he still saw the appearance of the giant crossbow and crossbow arrows on the city wall clearly.
Those giant crossbows are just a little bigger, but the surface of those crossbow arrows is printed with some colorful spirit patterns on them, and they are all consumable rune arrows.
Seeing this, Liu Ming couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
As far as his eyes could see, there were dozens of such giant crossbows, and if they could hit one person at the same time, I am afraid that the late-stage spirit disciples would only be killed on the spot.
And among the gatekeepers at the city gate, after a little more sense, he found that there were several people who also had the aura of a qi refiner.
Xuanjing is worthy of being the capital of the Great Xuanguo, it can be called heavily guarded, and even the guards at the city gate have such strength, and the ordinary spirit disciples may only be honest after entering, and they will never dare to violate the laws of Xuanjing on the surface.
Just when Liu Ming was thinking about it, surrounded by a group of black tiger guards, the convoy arrived at the city gate.
At this time, the woman surnamed Du urged the horse, went to the city gate, threw a token to the Pancha Jiashi, and said lightly:
"The Black Tiger Guard of Nanhai County, on the order of the capital commander, specially escorted the nobles back to Beijing, is there a mistake in your inspection of the token?"
"It turned out to be the captain of the Black Tiger Guard, and the token is not wrong, so there is no need to check it. A man in white armor looked through the token in his hand several times, threw it back, and replied in a low voice.
So the wagons moved and slowly poured into the city gates.
Two hours later, Liu Ming was already in the hall of a mansion somewhere in Xuanjing, and Qian Ruping was sitting next to him on another small chair.
In the middle seat, the man in the brocade robe with an elegant face said to Liu Ming with a grateful face:
"This time, Mrs. Qian and the dog were able to return to Beijing safely, thanks to Mr. Qian's help. Don't worry, sir, the ice silver grass you are looking for, I have already asked my man to check it in the store, and if there is one, I will send it to Mr. immediately. ”
"Well, if you can really find the Ice Silver Grass so smoothly, it will be the best. Although my niece's condition was under control, I couldn't delay it for too long. Liu Ming nodded and said quietly.
"Husband, in addition to the Ice Silver Grass, the Qian family also has another Mr. Xie Qian. After all, the poison in Hu'er's body can only be discovered and alleviated by Mr. Qian. Mrs. Mi sat opposite Liu Ming and said with a gentle smile.
"Well, this natural. I know that Mr. Lu Daoqian, as a spiritual disciple, will definitely not look down on ordinary mortals. In this way, in more than a month, Bailingju will hold an auction, and if Mr. Good has a fancy to any thing, no matter what the price is, Qian will only charge half the price? Qian Chao groaned slightly, and said without thinking.
"Since Qian has intervened in this matter, naturally there is no reason to give up halfway. Qian Dongzhu can rest assured that as long as the poison in the body of Ling Gongzi is removed a few more times, it will be fine. Liu Ming nodded and replied noncommittally.
When the brocade-robed man heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and thanked him a few times.
"By the way, listening to Mrs., in addition to wanting to see a doctor for his niece this time, my husband went to Beijing this time to join his relatives. But Xuanjing is so big, if Mr. wants to find someone, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Why don't you stay in my house for the time being? Although the Qian Mansion is not a mansion and a deep courtyard, it is more than enough to arrange Mr. and Ling's niece. After the brocade robe man changed the topic, he said very enthusiastically.
"It's okay to stay in your mansion temporarily, then Qianmou will disturb for a while. After Liu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, he did not politely agree.
When the brocade-robed man heard this, he seemed even more happy, and after chatting a few more words, he ordered a middle-aged servant woman to come in and lead Liu Ming and the girl to the special room in the mansion to arrange for distinguished guests.
"Madam, how did you meet this person, and tell me again carefully. After Liu Ming's figure quickly disappeared outside the hall door, the smile on the face of the brocade-robed man was revealed, and Mrs. Chong Mi, who had changed into a somewhat dignified color, asked. (To be continued......)
