Xuanji and Xie Lili walked all the way outside the meeting hall and found a group of people in armored generals gathered around a map, their faces red-faced.
Behind them, a majestic-looking man wearing a crimson robe, a crown on his head, and a sword at his waist was sitting upright on a large tiger-skin chair.
Xie Lili couldn't help but slow down when she saw this, and Xuanji beside her was also stunned. She felt that the person on the big tiger-skin chair looked familiar.
After thinking for a while, I remembered that the other person seemed to be Chef Song who baked fried pancakes for them on New Year's Eve.
It's just that today's Chef Song no longer has the oil and flour on his body, and the gentle smile on his face is gone, replaced by a domineering aura.
Before the two women said anything, the people in the meeting hall spoke first. A man who looked like a general snorted coldly, "This is a heavy military ground, and there are many people waiting for you, why don't you retreat quickly!"
As a result, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the man on the big tiger-skin chair, "Let them in, they are not spies from the puppet government."
After saying that, he smiled at Xuanji.
However, Xuanji heard this but did not enter. She just said, "Isn't Lu Jing here?"
"Master Lu and his wife, as well as Master Luo, went out to perform military duties together. They left just now." Another round-faced general saw that the man on the big tiger-skin chair had a gentle attitude towards the two women, so he said politely. .
"Master Lu and his wife?" A hint of gossip appeared in Xie Lili's eyes, "Are you talking about Daxia Lu and Nuxia Yan, Nuxia Xia, or Miss Wen?"
"No, it's Miss Zhun."
"Miss Zhu?"
Xie Lili wanted to ask again, but Xuanji gently pulled her sleeves. When she turned around, she saw a figure dressed in red already coming to her side.
The man ignored Xie Lili and just nodded to Xuanji, "Xuanjiyuan."
"Inspector Xia." Xuanji quickly returned the greeting.
"I wonder why the Xuan Supervisory Academy is here?"
"Oh, I'll bring this child to find Lu Jing," Xuanji pointed at Xie Lili, "She has something important to tell Lu Jing."
"What's going on?" Xia Huai's eyes finally turned to Xie Lili.
"It has something to do with the little wooden man next to Master Lu."
Xie Lili knew better than to release some shocking information at this time. Based on the first impression she had just left on the Xia heroine, she would probably be embarrassed to see Lu Jing again in her lifetime.
"Amu?" Xia Huai was a little surprised when he heard this, then glanced at Xie Lili and said, "Then you can stay. Lu Jing should be back in one day or three to two days."
"Okay." Xie Lili agreed without any hesitation. She was now full of curiosity about what was happening in this place.
Because it seems that the tens of thousands of people outside are not here to besiege this earth fortress. On the contrary, they seem to have chosen to gather here. Considering their number, this is almost more than half of Yuzhou's troops.
With so many people staying still, any movement would be big news. Xie Lili wished he could stay here and watch the excitement up close.
Xuanji was a little worried. She looked around, pulled Xia Huai to a relatively secluded place, and then said again, "She is the daughter of the young minister of Dali Temple. If she stays..."
"It doesn't matter, I believe she won't spread what she saw here." Xia Huai said.
"Are you sure?" Xuanji glanced at Xie Lili, who was peeping around not far away. It was hard to imagine that this guy could really keep any secrets.
Xia Huai looked not worried at all, "Of course, because after she meets Lu Jing, I will continue to keep her here as a guest."
"Uh, when you say continue to be a guest... do you mean she is under house arrest here?" Xuanji wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Xia Huai nodded, "Don't worry, it won't be long. She can leave after Yuzhou is pacified. Then she can go wherever she wants."
"…………"
Xuanji's eyes were strange, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something more, but in the end she swallowed the words back into her stomach and said, "It just so happened that she was going to live and study in the academy for three months. , and there is no need to worry about her family coming to find her during this time.”
"You have Lao Xuan prison." Xia Huai thanked her again, "It shouldn't take us that long. Yuzhou should be able to recover in a month at the latest. In the remaining time, I can teach her how to make peace. Knowledge about strange things.”
Even with Xie Lili's intelligence, she probably wouldn't have thought that the two women not far away would have decided her next fate in just a few words.
The main reason is that Xuanji's gentle appearance is too deceptive.
So she stayed in the earthen fort for the next two days. Taking advantage of the fact that outsiders didn't know her true identity and she had a eloquent mouth, Xie Lili didn't have to spend much effort to figure out what was happening here. This thing also made her exclaim that it was amazing.
It turned out that the person sitting on the big tiger-skin chair the day she first came to the bunker was Zhu Zhen, the Zhaozong who was rumored to have resurrected from the dead. Not to mention, Xie Lili had seen several portraits of Zhu Zhen before.
The man on the big tiger-skin chair is indeed very similar to Zhu Zhen in the portrait, but his youth is a little unbelievable, but resurrection from the dead can happen, and it seems that staying young forever is not impossible.
And Xie Lili knew very well that it didn't really matter whether this Zhaozong was true or false. Nowadays, Kyushu was in turmoil and heroes were vying for the throne. His existence was like a big flag, attracting nearby careerists and reckless heroes to come and vote. There were so many outside. Thousands of soldiers and horses are the best proof.
On the third day, Xie Lili finally met Lu Jing, who was rushing back from the busy outside.
However, unlike what she imagined, Lu Jing's face when he looked at the soldiers and horses outside the door did not show much excitement, but a hint of helplessness, and he himself did not seem to care much about fighting for world hegemony.
In addition, the girl named Mintang who was following him looked like she had done something wrong. She kept looking down at her toes, tears welling up in her eyes. I really felt sorry for her.
Lu Jing was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore. He just gave Zhuo Tang another cold look and said, "We'll talk about your business later."
After saying that, he looked at Xie Lili again, "You said you have news about Amu?"
Xie Lili also couldn't understand the relationship between the two, so he could only put aside the doubts in his heart, nodded and said, "You told me about the connection between Amu and "Martial Arts" before, and I told you again after I got back. After finding Cai Wuyan, she asked someone to inquire about the powerful masters in the world in the past few hundred years.
"In the end, I really found something. About three hundred years ago, there was a senior who was extremely skilled in martial arts. It is said that even the head of Xuankong Temple at that time could not take his sword.
"At that time, he was very ambitious and wanted to dominate the martial arts world, but he didn't expect that when he was competing with others, his only daughter was killed by his enemies. When he rushed back, he only saw his daughter lying in a pool of blood.
"Although he later found his enemy and killed him, he never recovered and disappeared. Some said he lived in seclusion in the mountains, while others said he had escaped into Buddhism... In short, there was no news from him again.
"Cai Wuyang found the graveyard of the senior and his daughter through a strange object. It turned out that the former contained bones and stone slabs, but the latter was empty, and there was a small island carved on the stone slab."
Lu Jing also became interested when he heard this, "Where is the island?"
"East China Sea." Xie Lili said.
"East China Sea?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.
"If you can't get out now..."
"No, I don't want to deal with this shit anymore." Lu Jing said decisively, "Is the slate at your place now?"
Xie Lili nodded.
"Then we will set off today and hire a boat directly from Yingzhou to go to sea." Lu Jing said, "I will take Amu with me."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Xie Lili was dumbfounded.
"You said it was urgent." Lu Jing glanced at the girl and said calmly.
"Hehe." Xie Lili scratched her head. She didn't think about it but tipped off the official in the capital. She just wanted to stay in Yuzhou to watch the excitement for a while.
But going to sea seems to be quite interesting, especially setting sail on a big ship to see the magnificent scenery on the other side of the coast, not to mention the thrilling battles with pirates.
The girl thought so, and her heart was already ready to move.
