The night is gloomy.
"Well--"
Twenty miles away from Luming Palace, a short muffled hum suddenly came from the room of Ji Xungen, the Zhou envoy, and then silence fell.
After a few breaths, the courtyard door opened from the inside, and Qing Xiaoling tiptoed out.
He succeeded easily, and the excitement after success was still on his face, but when he looked back in the direction of Luming Palace, he sighed softly, with a lonely expression.
"who?"
Suddenly my heart tightened, as if someone was spying on me secretly!
There was a fluctuation in the space a few feet ahead, and a girl in black clothing appeared.
"Youyou?" The little fox was surprised and happy: "It's actually you? I've been wanting to see you since I came back this time. The queen said you were out of town, but I didn't expect..."
Her words did not continue. The girl in black looked serious and interrupted unceremoniously: "Did you kill the envoy of Zhou?"
Qing Xiaoling nodded, looking calm.
"Why did you want to kill him?" Youyou's face became even colder.
"Youyou," Qing Xiaoling laughed out loud: "Sister Yiyi told me that you like to listen to the big bad... Oh, Xiao Shitou tells stories, have you ever heard him say, 'You can't catch the tiger's cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den' 's story?"
Youyou's little head fell into memories, and soon she shook her head, with some curiosity in her eyes.
"Come on, come on, sister, I'm going to tell you..." The little fox became proud. She has thought about this matter over and over again. She definitely made the right choice by imitating the sages in the story. She just wanted to show off to others.
"In another world, there was a powerful empire called the Han Dynasty. This country had a great general named Ban Chao. Once, the emperor sent him as an envoy to the Western Regions..."
"...I didn't expect that the Xiongnu also sent envoys to compete with the Han Dynasty for the Western Region..."
"...So Ban Chao summoned his men and said, the Lord of the Western Regions is hesitant. Only by killing the Huns envoys and completely cutting off their thoughts can we force them to surrender to us."
"As the saying goes, 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs'! We will attack the Huns camp at night now, and we will definitely achieve great success!"
"Later, the Western Regions finally moved towards the Han Dynasty..."
"How about it, sister, isn't this story exciting?" Qing Xiaoling asked enthusiastically.
Gloomy gray eyes blinked, with a confused look on his face: "What does this have to do with you killing the envoy from Zhou?"
"Why are you so stupid?" The little fox stamped his feet and said: "Youyou, look at the situation tonight. This princess is the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and the envoy of the Zhou Dynasty is the Huns. I killed this person named Ji , in order to make the empress stand on Xu Guo’s side. From now on, our Lu State and the Yunxiao Sect will no longer be at war with each other, and Xiao Shitou and the empress will not have any enmity, right?"
Youyou nodded. Of course she didn't want to see her empress and Yang Zhen turn against each other. It is for this reason that she has not participated in all the provocations made by Lu State against Xu State in recent years.
But after a moment, she frowned again:
"Why would the empress side with Yunxiao Sect if you killed the envoy of Zhou Kingdom?"
The little fox's eyes widened: "Isn't that what the story says!"
But Youyou still doesn’t understand:
"Why did the Han Dynasty envoy kill the Huns and the Western Regions surrender to the Han Dynasty?"
The little fox looked like an idiot and said angrily:
"I made it very clear in my story! The envoy was killed, and the people from the Western Regions have offended the Huns. They can only hug the Han Dynasty people, otherwise how can they gain a foothold!"
"No," Youyou shook her head: "The empress does not need to hug the Yunxiao Sect's thigh. What she is afraid of is the Zhenzun Ancestor. If you kill the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom now, she will only be more scared and angry."
"Sister Xiaoling, you did something wrong. Come with me to see the empress and apologize to her face to face."
"I won't go!" Qing Xiaoling jumped up and said with a guilty conscience: "Your Majesty is very angry right now, I, I won't go. I will go see her again in the future."
"No! You come with me to see the empress now," Youyou insisted, "I will plead with you and she will definitely not embarrass you."
"I dont go--"
"You must go!"
"Don't go!"
"go!"
The two women's argument turned into a fight until the end.
…
Both princesses are in the realm of demon kings. In the early stage of the Youyou Demon King, the Qing Xiaoling Demon King was at his peak. She had also received guidance from Mu Zixue and Qin Mingyue, and had studied a large number of people's classics. It seemed that she should have the upper hand no matter what.
However, the actual battle was far from what it appeared on the books.
The little fox took out a long sword with his backhand. As the sword light flashed, he saw the fragrance of flowers overflowing and peach blossoms, changing into various wonderful patterns in mid-air. As long as you take a casual look at them, you will be attracted by them, dazzled and dizzy.
This sword is exactly the same as the Peach Blossom Ecstasy Sword that Dou Xichang gave to Wan Qiling back then, but the grade is two levels higher. It can be said that this is the mother sword, and those are just the daughter swords that imitate it.
This flying sword combined with the little fox's charm technique is like a fish in water, and the effect is at least doubled.
However, just as Qing Xiaoling used the sword, Youyou in front of him disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, her heart skipped a beat, the hairs all over her body stood on end, and she rushed forward a hundred feet in a hurry before stopping.
A black sharp blade broke through the void and stabbed where she was standing just now.
Qing Xiaoling secretly called her lucky.
She was able to dodge this move entirely because Yiyi and Yang Zhen had talked about Youyou's characteristics before. They knew that this little black grass was gifted with concealment, was good at assassination, and often attacked unprepared. Therefore, she concentrated on it and relied on her powerful spiritual consciousness that was far superior to the opponent. She could faintly feel the slight space fluctuation behind her and escaped.
Following the same pattern, she once again escaped several assassinations from Youyou.
However, there was no joy in her heart.
She knew very well that this situation could not continue.
She is on high mental alert and consumes a huge amount of her spiritual consciousness. There will be a few more times when her spiritual consciousness will fail and her senses will become dull. At that time, she will have no way to avoid it.
Of course, she can also turn on the defensive shield. With deeper magic power, it is difficult for Youyou to penetrate her defense at once. But it's still the same problem. No matter how much magic she has, it is still limited after all. The defense cannot be turned on all the time, so it is not advisable.
As for the use of magic weapons, it can often only take into account one or two directions, but it is still useless.
Having said that, if she was willing to get hurt and counterattacked at the moment when Yiyi's sharp blade stabbed out, she would still be sure to lock in the opponent and create a lose-lose situation.
But this is something she never wants to see. Not only because of his friendship with Youyou, but also if he is injured, it will probably alarm Qixia, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, this is a very unfair battle for Qing Xiaoling. Her huge mana and exquisite spells cannot be used on anyone.
She had no chance of winning.
"No fight, no fight," the little fox shouted, "Youyou, I'll go with you to see the empress, please stop!"
Youyou paused under a tree ten feet away.
"Youyou," the little fox gasped, "you are so powerful now. If sister Yiyi and Xiao Shitou know about it, they will be very happy."
Hearing her mention these two people, a look of nostalgia appeared on her face, and a smile flashed across her pale face.
"Youyou," the little fox continued: "After meeting with the empress, let's plead with her to let her agree to give you a few months' leave. Then you and I will go back to Xu State to meet Sister Yiyi and Xiao Stone, okay?”
"Yeah." Youyou nodded vigorously. She has a dull temperament and is not good at words. She keeps everything she wants to say in her heart and does not dare to say it to Qixia. Qing Xiaoling is lively and cheerful. With her help interceding, she might be able to persuade the empress.
"At that time..." Qing Xiaoling said excitedly: "Let's ask Xiao Shitou to tell us many, many good stories, okay?"
"good!"
Youyou's little head clicked faster.
"We also need to get a bunch of delicious food, including the silver-leaf fish we just caught, and the third-level two-headed golden-tailed scorpion, and then pour a large cup of fresh honey on top... Tsk! The taste is incredible! "
The little fox said vividly, his two black eyes were like black holes that were constantly spinning. On the other side of the hole were endless delicacies.
Youyou looked fascinated and didn't notice the glistening saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth.
"Xiao Youyou, sister, there are many, many stories here! How about Sister Xiao Ling hug you and tell you slowly!"
As the little fox spoke, he slowly approached and carefully touched the other person's head with a jade hand.
"want……"
Xiao Heicao responded obsessively, unaware that the danger was approaching.
"boom!"
Suddenly, he received a heavy punch on his head, followed by a strong pressure of divine consciousness, and he immediately passed out.
Then, he was thrown into a spirit beast bag.
The silhouette flashed, and the little fox blended into the night.
…
Qixia woke up in a daze.
Missing her like an endless night, because the novelty treasure mentioned in the night suddenly and uncontrollably spewed out from the depths of her memory, completely engulfing her unprepared.
Her heart and liver were trembling, Jiu Kuang's body was slightly relieved, and she regained some energy.
"Youyou——" the queen called.
No reply.
"Youyou——" the queen called again.
There are no servants in her palace, and Youyou is the only confidant who can come and go freely.
However, there was still no reply.
Qixia raised her eyebrows and felt something was wrong.
It's been more than half an hour since I told Youyou to go out to do things. Why haven't you come back yet?
Could it be...
The Queen stood up suddenly, her delicate body swaying, and within a moment, she appeared in the courtyard where the Zhou envoys were staying.
The courtyard's restrictions were half-opened, just enough to prevent the prying eyes of her spiritual consciousness, so she had to come in person.
The passage in and out suddenly opened, which should have been left intentionally by Qing Xiaoling.
Thinking of this little girl, a bad premonition suddenly flashed through her heart.
There was a faint smell of blood in the room.
Qixia's face changed drastically, and she rushed in with a few steps. Her eyes were tearing apart!
Ji Xungen lay on the ground with his back stretched out, a blood hole as big as a pigeon egg in front of his forehead, and he was completely breathless.
Next to it, there fell a phonograph stone.
The mana was activated, and a woman's vague voice came from the stone. It was Qing Xiaoling:
"Your Majesty, if you don't have the Seal Talisman Skin, even if the True Ancestor comes to the Million Mountains, he can't do anything to you. Ling'er knew that the Imperial Majesty would not believe it, so he took it upon himself to kill this person and asked the Imperial Majesty not to fall in love with them. When..."
"Your Majesty, you must not go against the Yunxiao Sect! Their strength is definitely not what it appears on the surface. There is one person... I can't tell you. I want to tell you, even if those powerful monks are resurrected three thousand years ago, the Yunxiao Sect will still have ways to deal with it. .”
"Therefore, the empress must believe Ling'er's words and never go against the Yunxiao Sect..."
"Empress, when your anger subsides, Ling'er will come back to apologize to you..."
The voice gradually became fainter, and when the last sentence "Please forgive me" ended, the phonetic stone clicked and turned into ashes.
This is the cheapest kind of phonograph stone. You can only listen to the message once, and then it will fall apart due to the poor material and cannot be used again.
Obviously, Qing Xiaoling only intended to tell Qixia these words.
However, in the Queen's mind at this moment, she had another view:
You little young spirit, in order to put the blame on me, you are so petty that you don't even leave any evidence!
Do you think there is nothing I can do about this?
childish!
…
Thousands of black moths flew out of the insect bag, circled around a scented candle in the Queen's hand, and then left one after another.
If Qing Xiaoling was still here, he might recognize that the shape and smell of this incense candle were exactly the same as the incense in the Queen's palace.
This is Yueyuexiang, a very rare spice. The fragrance is fragrant and fragrant. When used on women, it can last for dozens of days without dissipating.
No matter whether you take a bath, meditate, or wash your body with dust-cleansing techniques, the smell cannot be completely eliminated.
Qing Xiaoling disappeared mysteriously back then, leaving the Queen with a big mystery. Returning to Lu Kingdom this time, how could Qixia let such a thing happen again?
As early as the first time the two parties met, this fragrance had been secretly left on the little fox.
Then with the help of this special moth that carries a ray of her spiritual consciousness, as long as Qing Xiaoling is still within the range of her spiritual consciousness, she will never escape from her grasp!
As Qixia's divine consciousness slowly expanded outward, these moths flew in all directions at almost the same speed under the control of divine thoughts.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the Queen made a discovery.
Fifty miles northwest, a completely transparent shadow was jumping through the mountains and forests.
Although the consciousness of the Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator is more than a thousand miles away, without the help of these moths, it would be almost impossible to notice such subtle movements.
Now, it clearly appeared in her induction.
"To the northwest, are we going to Qin?" A trace of doubt flashed in the queen's mind, and then she disappeared.
…
Half an hour later, Luming Palace
"Plop!"
Qing Xiaoling was tied into a big rice dumpling and thrown under the palace.
There was a "wuwu" sound in his mouth, and he felt regretful and unconvinced in his heart.
With her peak demon king strength, and with the help of magic weapons and talismans, even if she faced Qixia head-on, even if she couldn't defeat her, she would still be quite sure of escaping.
This was also the reason why she dared to come to Lu Country alone.
However, she really didn't expect that Qixia, who was clearly a level higher than her, would actually--
Sneak attack!
Place a phantom array in front of her in the direction of her escape, take advantage of her confusion to launch an attack, and capture her alive in one fell swoop!
The whole process didn't even take three breaths!
It's simply too despicable and too much!
As she was arrested, Youyou was also rescued.
Xiao Heicao rubbed his still aching forehead and stared at Qing Xiaoling angrily:
"Sister Xiaoling, you are too despicable and too much!"
Qing Xiaoling was speechless.
"Ying'er, you go down first," Qixia waved her hand, with a kind face but a bit stern tone:
"This incident is also a lesson for you. You must remember it in the future and don't trust others gullibly again!"
"Yes." Youyou looked ashamed, lowered her head and went out.
After this close subordinate left for a long time, Qixia turned her eyes to the two demon kings who came after hearing the news, her face was filled with frost:
"Yuan Zheng, what a joy!" The Queen shouted: "You two, take my apology document, this little bitch, and all the relics of Envoy Ji, and set off now!"
"You go to the Kingdom of Zhou and explain to the old man Zhen Zun on my behalf and apologize!"
"This bitch, please deal with it as you please!"
