The captain of the Shen Ce Army stepped forward and whispered something in Lu Cai's ear.
next moment.
shuh~~
The cold air suddenly spread throughout the entire pavilion, and just above Lu Cai's shoulder, a small green snake jumped out from his collar, spitting out its tongue and staring straight at the captain.
The captain was also shocked when he saw this. The difference between the boy and he was half a year ago was huge.
He used to be a minor eunuch in the palace.
Although he is still a eunuch, he is already ranked ninth on the Mountain Top List [Blood Silkworm].
The captain immediately whispered again.
Only then did Lu Cai's expression ease.
But immediately, Lu Cai turned around and looked at Su Liheng: "Fourth Young Master, it's time for us to go."
Su Liheng was a little unhappy: "I told you not to call me Young Master, what the hell, you've been calling me that all the time, we're just brothers, just call me Liheng, why are you being so pretentious?"
Cursing, Su Liheng glanced at the confused woman and his younger brother, and immediately turned his head: "Girl, just take it if I tell you to, don't be polite, we two brothers are good people, what if you meet these beasts in human clothing? So put it on well, don't get sick, it will be terrible if you get sick."
After that, Su Liheng reached into his bag, took out some naan bread and put it in the younger brother's hand: "Toast it at home, it will be more delicious."
Lu Cai left with Su Liheng, completely ignoring the people in the pavilion.
The captain of the Shen Ce Army took a look at the people on the ground, turned around and left, but two people from the Shen Ce Army stayed behind.
The girl and her younger brother stood there in a daze, looking at Lu Cai who was about to leave on his horse. They felt a little bit bewildered. They had just made a sudden move, and it turned out that this person was an official again. The girl was a little confused.
After getting on the horse, Su Liheng remembered something and looked at the two scholars in the pavilion who were too scared to speak.
The Lord who asked the Shen Ce Army to come and greet him, is he someone they can afford to offend?!
But Su Liheng didn't care: "Hey! I'm calling you two, look here!"
The two scholars pursed their lips and looked at Su Liheng.
Su Liheng took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it over: "The person is not dead, take him to see a doctor. My teacher is Li Jiulang, I will make the decision on his behalf not to see you. Also, because you three just wanted to do something bad to that girl, you three will be investigated, and stay in the cell for a while first!"
I can't say "Su family" or "big sister" when I introduce my family, so I just introduce my teacher Li Jiulang's name to scare people! Anyway, it's nothing.
When the two heard this, their faces turned pale. They wanted to speak, but they saw Su Liheng had already left on horseback.
The two scholars subconsciously turned their heads to look at the two Shen Ce soldiers beside them, "I am from the An family in Suizhou City."
A member of the Shen Ce Army was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this before, but since he dared to introduce himself, he had to ask, "Is it a noble family?"
The scholar nodded immediately.
The Shen Ce Army smiled and said, "Then we need to investigate further."
The two scholars' faces turned pale.
Before leaving with their men, the Shen Ce Army glanced at the man and woman from the martial arts world, but just glanced at them and didn't say much.
All of a sudden, the brother and sister and the fellow apprentice were the only ones left in the pavilion.
At this moment, the girl, who seemed to have just dreamed, came back to her senses. She looked up and saw the backs of Lu Cai and Su Liheng leaving. She came to her senses and wanted to chase them, but when she saw her brother had already bitten the naan greedily, she immediately lowered her head, a little anxious.
He didn't even say thank you and still took so many things from others.
However, after walking away, Lu Cai turned around and looked at the pavilion and the brother and sister. That year, he and his sister also ran to the pavilion to shelter from the rain, but their village had at most a straw hut. But at that time, the brother and sister both got their clothes wet, but no one in the straw hut paid attention to them, and even someone didn't give them hot water.
Whether others treat him badly has nothing to do with whether he will be good to others.
He will do this today, and he will do the same in the future, even if the people he meets are not siblings, because his mother will definitely be willing to help, his sister will too, and the queen will be even more willing.
Don't think too much about it. After all, we are just passers-by in the world. It's just an ordinary little thing and nothing.
On the other hand, Su Liheng asked, "What happened just now? Why did you suddenly act like that? And why did these brothers come specially to pick us up?"
Lu Cai said, "Your Majesty and the Queen were assassinated, and they asked me to go back urgently."
Su Liheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his head to look at the captain of the Shen Ce Army: "My eldest sister is dead? Otherwise, why would I ask him to go back!"
Chapter 659: The Queen Who Surprised Another Ten People in the World
The capital city was unusually bustling, with people coming and going, people from the martial arts world and the Western Regions, all flocking there, all coming for the world that was about to begin.
Firstly, they come to join in the fun and see something new; secondly, many people see the business here and want to give it a try.
Finally, there are the people from the martial arts world. They naturally come for the martial arts competition, and they have heard that the Queen Mother will make an appearance at the competition, which is a rare sight, even rarer than seeing other people from the martial arts world, so of course they will come to see this great opportunity.
Anyway, you can see all the scenery without spending a penny.
If you don’t see it, you won’t see it.
At the gate of the capital city, Xia Tingyu was accompanied by Kun Ling and an old man with curly beard.
Xia Tingyu was still charming as always. Her foxy eyes swept over many men, and just now a young swordsman was fooled. When he was peeking at Xia Tingyu, he bumped his head against a roadside pillar.
Xia Tingyu smiled sweetly at this and thought that the capital was still the better place. But as she glanced around, she felt that it was much more lively than Shudu.
Just as Xia Tingyu was about to leave, she noticed Kun Ling's gaze and looked back, only to find that the ten greatest people in the world whom she had spent so much effort to invite were standing at the city gate.
He already had a curly beard and his arms were bare, with strong muscles that were particularly noticeable. His arms were also covered with tattoos of tigers, leopards, wolves and bears. He looked very rough, or rather too rough. He was unique even among the people in the martial arts world, so naturally people would look at him a few more times.
However, Xia Tingyu didn't care about the gazes of the people around her. Instead, she looked at the old man curiously, and then looked at the little girl with a bun on her head and wearing black and white clothes beside the old man.
The little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what was wrong.
The old man looked solemn, and slowly opened his eyes to look at Xia Tingyu: "Those people are really all here, and there are more than them. So many people have gathered in the capital. You asked me to protect you to the capital, are you hiding something from me?"
Xia Tingyu knew who the old man was talking about, and immediately said, "It was because I didn't know if anything would happen that I asked you to accompany me to the capital."
The old man ignored Xia Tingyu, but his face became serious. Then his eyes flashed and he took a step forward.
Others took a simple step, and when the old man stepped down, even the air seemed to become heavier, and a small gust of wind suddenly appeared under the old man's feet, blowing up the sand on the stone road.
Everyone around realized something was wrong, but because it disappeared so quickly, they just looked around in confusion and then went about their own business.
Wu Qinhu, one of the ten people in the world with the title of [Beast King], lost his solemn expression and turned to look at Xia Tingyu: "Let's go, it's okay. Let's go eat something. You told me a lot along the way."
Xia Tingyu pursed her lips lightly, put her hands behind her back, jumped to Wu Qinhu's side, leaned forward and tilted her head to look back at the old man: "Senior, was someone testing you just now?"
Wu Qinhu looked at Xia Tingyu, especially at her playful face. He was sure that with this girl's intelligence, she was well aware that there were many people watching her since she came to the capital, but she was still so relaxed. Wu Qinhu couldn't help but sigh again at her mentality at such a young age. She really deserved to be from an imperial family.
Wu Qinhu said, "Yu Taohua just greeted me, it's nothing."
Xia Tingyu was a little disappointed because she wanted to hear something more amazing, such as preventing Senior Wu from entering the capital.
After all, this was a meeting of ten people from all over the world, so Xia Tingyu naturally wanted to have some fun.
Wu Qinhu could see the disappointment on Xia Tingyu's face. This little fox was by his side the whole time, and sometimes his words and actions were all setting traps for him.
But Wu Qinhu was already quite old, so he could naturally see that these were just some fun things to kill time, so he didn't bother with the little girl.
However, seeing Xia Tingyu's disappointed face, Wu Qinhu said, "I have no enmity with these people, so there is no reason for them to stop me. Besides, Yan Yunxiao still owes me a favor, so naturally he doesn't want to do anything to me. It's just that I don't get along with Liu Xuer and Luo Changfeng, but Liu Xuer has a good temper, so her disagreement won't lead to a fight with me. I would like to ask Luo Changfeng, but he's a cripple now, so there's no reason for me to do it. It's just that the old poisoner from the Guxian Sect and the great shaman in Mobei, I have a martial arts competition with them, so I would fight directly if I met them, but they are not here, so I won't fight with anyone."
As for the grudges in the martial arts world, the higher you go, the less important they are. Unless it is a huge grudge, when ten people meet, at most they will fight each other, and then sit at a table to drink again.
At worst, they will just turn around and leave. There will be no life-and-death struggle. If there is, they will be killed completely. They will have no enemies left, otherwise they would not have stayed in their own territory.
Xia Tingyu nodded after hearing this. She didn't seem disappointed. She just looked down at the little girl and said, "Big Mengzi, sister will take you to eat something delicious?"
The little girl named Wu Daming, who is Wu Qinhu's granddaughter, nodded vigorously. She had been enduring all the way and listened to Sister Tingyu talking about the delicious food in the capital. She couldn't wait to try it.
In fact, Wu Daming was originally Wu Dameng, which was given by his father. Wu Qinhu was in seclusion at that time. When he came out, he heard that his granddaughter was called this name. He immediately got angry and changed the name to the current Meng.
Xia Tingyu stretched out her hand, and Da Mengzi naturally held it.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Wu Qinhu felt somewhat relieved, but he glanced at Xia Tingyu and sighed again, thinking how great it would be if he had not been born in the Shu King's family.
But at this time, Wu Qinhu's expression froze and he looked at a scholar just in front of him.
The scholar was also looking at him with a gentle smile.
Kun Ling was originally thinking about catching up with his young lady, but when he noticed this scholar, Kun Ling's expression suddenly changed.
The person in front of me is indeed a scholar, but he is a scholar of limited ability.
In the martial arts world, it is better to meet a ferocious man than to meet a scholar who mingles with the people, because it is not the way a gentleman should use words rather than fists. Those scholars will use both words and fists to attack you.
Wu Qinhu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It would be strange if no one came to find me when I got to the capital."
Hearing this, Kun Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Xia Tingyu naturally noticed the scholar at this time. While looking at him, Hu'er smiled softly: "Senior, you were sent by Commander Yan to find Senior Wu, right? I won't let you come to my door like this."
But after saying that, Xia Tingyu narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly: "However, should I call you senior or uncle-master?"
The middle-aged scholar smiled. When he heard his junior fellow apprentice say that he had accepted an apprentice, he was actually a little surprised. His junior fellow apprentice was so talented and intelligent that he had always wanted to meet the only person in the world who would be so talented as to accept him as an apprentice.
Now that I see him, he is smarter than his apprentice.
At least just seeing how calm I am, my apprentice needs to learn from me.
His identity can be recognized by the white magatama hanging around his waist. His junior brother also has one, but it is black. One black and one white. These are the light and dark ornaments of the Yi Zixuan sect leader.
He didn't think about hiding his identity in front of Xia Tingyu. After all, there were thirteen of them, and the current emperor didn't think of keeping them in the dark.
Zhuge Jia, the master of Yizixuan, who is also one of the thirteen left and right guards, Bai Ze, smiled and took out a short knife from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Tingyu: "I heard from my junior brother that you like to use a short knife. This knife is called Yilan. It is my gift. When you have time in the future, go to Yizixuan to meet your master, and maybe you can find a gift for him."
After saying that, Zhuge Jia smiled and said, "If your master doesn't give it to you, you have to ask for it. Be frank, otherwise he likes to play dumb the most."
Xia Tingyu was not polite at all. After saying "Okay", he took the knife in his hand.
But looking at Zhuge Jia, Xia Tingyu lowered his head to look at the girl: "Big Mengzi, do you want to eat mutton soup with steamed buns? Even though that place is a roadside stall, it tastes delicious."
Da Mengzi's saliva was about to flow out, and she nodded vigorously. She was willing to eat anything. She was not picky about food. Even if she was thrown into the mountains, Da Mengzi could walk out safely while eating grass and holding a fish in her hands.
Zhuge Jia smiled.
Xia Tingyu immediately said, "Shall we go over there and reserve a good seat for you two?"
Zhuge Jia nodded, but did not approve of Xia Tingyu's vision. If he didn't even have these basic things, how could he control those brothers and sisters in Shu, and how could he be accepted as a disciple by his junior brother.
Zhuge Jia looked at Wu Qinhu who was walking forward and immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior."
Wu Qinhu looked at Zhuge Jia and asked, "Is he entering the imperial court?"
