"Speak nicely? That's fine. You can return the money."
But how could they have any money to return to Wen Yuan at this time? They spent a lot of it on the flower wine last night.
Seeing them like this, Wen Yuan knew that these people would not be able to spend the money, so she simply thought of a compromise, "How about you bring all the valuable things you have, and I will let you go. ?”
No one traveling in the world has one or two family heirlooms, so Wen Yuan concluded that they must have something valuable on them.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, the secret guard of the princess palace suddenly appeared in front of Wen Yuan, "Report to the princess, it's not good, there is news from the palace saying... saying..."
"What's wrong, tell me." Wen Yuan doesn't care much about the affairs in the palace now, but he still has to save his face.
I saw the secret guard approaching Wen Yuan and whispering a few words in Wen Yuan's ear. Wen Yuan's expression changed instantly, "Seriously?"
That group of people still wanted to hear something, but their voices were too low to hear clearly. "I understand. I'll leave this group of people to you. I'll go back."
Rushing back to the palace as quickly as possible, Wen Yuan asked the eunuch beside the emperor, "What's going on? I heard that the emperor is sick? Why is the disease so serious?"
The eunuch pulled Wen Yuan out of the palace and said, "Princess Xianyang, please lower your voice. Your Majesty is suffering from... flower or willow disease."
What? ! Flower or willow disease? ! Wen Yuan's eyes widened, and she hurried away a few feet away from the emperor's palace, "Then what should we do next?"
"This... we don't know, and it's strange to say that the emperor rarely summons concubines, so how could he get this disease."
The eunuch sighed deeply, and Wen Yuan asked suspiciously: "Has the emperor ever left the palace?"
"No, how is that possible?" the eunuch thought for a moment after he finished speaking, "but...it was strange for a while, the emperor always kicked out us eunuchs and maids who were serving us, and then waited until early the next morning to allow him People go in to serve, Princess Xianyang, do you think it is..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan immediately asked someone to search for suspicious signs in the emperor's palace, "Sigh... Our Dragon Kingdom... is really unlucky."
"How can I say this?" The old emperor is ill, and he deserves it. Who told him not to cherish his body, but why is he so unlucky?
The eunuch hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to take the risk and tell Wen Yuan about the emperor's order to keep it secret, "Actually, these days... the Dragon Kingdom has been threatened by another country."
"What?" Wen Yuan suddenly felt that he had indeed not paid attention to the affairs of the Dragon Kingdom for a long time. How could he not know at all that such a big thing had happened?
The worried look of the eunuch made Wen Yuan nervous, and then the eunuch told Wen Yuan a big secret, "Actually... our Dragon Kingdom secretly received two envoys from distant countries a few days ago, and they were all well behaved in the beginning. Yes, for some reason, the other party suddenly sent a letter of persuasion to surrender, asking our Dragon Kingdom to pay tribute every year, otherwise the creatures of the Dragon Kingdom will be plunged into a place of eternal disaster. The emperor just thought that the other party was talking big words and did not care. For a long time I haven’t heard anything from the other party, but I guess that the emperor’s excessive indulgence is caused by thinking about this matter.”
Wen Yuan became more and more confused the more she listened, "Why doesn't anyone agree with me?"
If she knew about such a thing, it would be easier for her to help make decisions together.
"Who dares! The Holy One has issued an imperial edict. If anyone dares to reveal a single word, the nine tribes will be killed. So no one dares to tell you, but I think... if this matter is not mentioned, our Dragon Kingdom will really It’s almost over.”
Wen Yuan glanced at the eunuch who told him the news, "Okay, I understand. I will go back to find someone to discuss what to do next. During this period, my people will stay here and they will report anything to me. I report,"
"Princess Xianyang, don't worry, the servants will pay attention. If there is any trouble, let them pass the message to you." There are still sober people in this palace.
After Wen Yuan returned to Wanmoyuan, she asked Xuanyuan about an ancient tracing technique. She knew it because she heard Xuanyuan mention it before, but she was busy at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. She didn't expect that she would need to use it now. .
"No need, I know those people." Shen Huaiyan walked in from the other side of the door, "They are from the Fantasy Country."
Fantasy country? Wen Yuan was a little affected, and she suddenly remembered that she had read it in ancient books, "Are you talking about the fantasy country that has been destroyed?"
"good."
That's impossible, Wen Yuan shook his head, "Since the country has been destroyed, how could it appear here with us?"
"This is also a question I want to know." Shen Huaiyan walked up to Wen Yuan with a solemn expression and told her about the history of Huan Country, "Huan Country used to be a very powerful country, but because of the king's misdeeds, It was a mistake that led to the destruction of the country. I have been to that place before. Everyone there can practice cultivation. It is a very powerful country. It is rumored that their monarch signed a contract with a mysterious race, which led to the destruction of the country. But Why do people from a country that has obviously disappeared now appear in the Dragon Kingdom..."
Wen Yuan felt that what Shen Huaiyan said was a bit ridiculous, "Even if the other party is really an envoy of the Fantasy Kingdom, how could you know him? It's been so long."
"Because..." the man's face became even more gloomy and ugly, "I have seen that man before, he is the king of Fantasy Country."
Shen Huaiyan is worried about only one thing, "If the Fantasy Country really reappears on the mainland, it will inevitably have a war with other forces, because they are a competitive country, and their citizens are never afraid of sacrifice."
His words made Wen Yuan worried all day long. What he thought about every day was how to prevent the people of the Dragon Kingdom from being harmed if the Fantasy Kingdom really reappeared on the mainland.
After thinking about it for a few days, Wen Yuan still felt that it would be best to take the initiative, "How about we... take the initiative to talk to the monarch of that fantasy country. What do you think?"
When Shen Huaiyan heard this, he was the first to stand up and object, "No, it's too dangerous. We don't even know whether they are humans or ghosts, how can we negotiate with them now."
Quan also stood on Shen Huaiyan's side and opposed Wen Yuan doing such a risky thing, "Yes, we don't know whether the other party is a friend or an enemy now. How can we take the initiative to find them? They are in the dark and we are in the open. When the time comes, It’s not a big deal if he’s been tricked.”
But Wen Yuan made up his mind to go to Fantasy Country, "I don't care, I have to go anyway. Do you want to come with me? If not, I will go alone. I always want to see what this country is like." How awesome.”
Seeing Wen Yuan's stubbornness, Shen Huaiyan and others didn't want to persuade him any more. Anyway, they knew that Wen Yuan was just such a person and would never give up until he achieved his goal.
"But we don't know where Fantasy Country is, where should we go to find it?"
This is the most critical question, and it also stumps Wen Yuan.
But soon she began to analyze, "Let's make a hypothesis together. If the Fantasy Country has really been destroyed, all the ghosts appearing on the mainland now are dead ghosts. Their obsession allows them to See the light of day again, so where did these ghosts come from?”
"Fantasy country." Shen Huaiyan said casually.
"That's right, it's the old site of Fantasy Country, because they were trapped there and couldn't get out. And if they didn't destroy the country, but hid themselves to recuperate, then they would be even less likely to move the country to other places. Otherwise, there will definitely be records in ancient books, and someone will definitely see the fantasy country that still exists in the world."
Although Wen Yuan's analysis is a bit messy, it does have merits. "Then how should we find the old site of Huanguo now? We have never been there."
The demons of Wan Mo Yuan have never cared about human affairs, so it is normal for Xuan Yuan and Quan to not know.
Wen Yuan looked at Shen Huaiyan who was silent and said, "Huaiyan, you have been traveling abroad all year round, so you must know where Fantasy Country is."
He knew it, but he had been there before, and there was nothing there now. Shen Huaiyan didn't want to disappoint Wen Yuan, but... he also had to tell her the truth, "I went to the old site of Long Kingdom thirty years ago. But there is nothing there except ruins... I think we should find nothing there."
But Wen Yuan didn't think so, "Let's go take a look, just in case we can find any clues."
She has agreed, and of course others have also agreed, "How soon should we leave?"
"Tomorrow, when we go back today, everyone should pack their things and replenish their carry-on space. Especially bring enough dry food and water. We will still gather here at this time tomorrow. Do you understand?"
On the second day, Wen Yuan looked at a large group of people surrounding him, "Isn't it a bit too much? I have to leave some to visit the house. Chunhua and Ayue, you two should not go. Heavenly Thunder's Punishment It hasn't been untied yet, what will happen if you get hacked to death on the road?"
Chi Zhaoyue thought so too, but couldn't stand Chunhua's insistence and had to follow him to gather. Now that it was better, with Wen Yuan speaking, he finally didn't have to talk.
"Miss, just let me follow you. I'm not worried." Chunhua wanted to follow Wen Yuan, but she also had to face a reality.
The punishment of thunder on her body might slow down Wen Yuan and the others. After thinking for a while, she silently let go of Wen Yuan's hand.
"Don't worry, what danger can there be with so many people around me, and I will take care of myself, so don't worry."
But the more she said this, the more Chunhua worried about whether Wen Yuan would be harmed outside. She watched helplessly as they packed their things and prepared to leave Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss, but she could only stand here and worry, "Miss... encountered If you can't beat the danger, don't hold on."
