Eleven excited spirits, could it be that Yue Ji has news and the great wizard has taken action?
She always felt that if her mother and Yue Ji disappeared at the same time, there would be no contact at all. If there was news about Yue Ji, then her mother would also have some news. //. 78 No pop-ups, fast updates //[Ye*][*]
He tapped his toes and jumped towards the place where the sound of carriages and horses came from.
When they got closer, they discovered that it was a group of common people driving more than 20 carriages, heading towards the Albizia Julibrissin Forest.
People in the Yue Kingdom need to fetch water to suppress the miasma, and fetching water is very common in the Snake Kingdom.
But when Eleven looked at the large group of people, he felt something was wrong. He avoided the crowd and quietly followed the group of carriages.
But they saw the convoy going straight into the Albizia Julibrissin forest.
The leader took something and showed it to the leader of the officers and soldiers guarding the spring, and then led the men and horses into the forest.
In the dark of November, he said "Hey," he ducked into the forest, disappeared, and approached the convoy.
When the spring water leaves the Albizia Julibrissin forest, its detoxifying properties disappear completely within a mile or so.
The Albizia Julibrissin Forest is a forbidden area in the Yue Kingdom, and ordinary people must not enter.
In order to prevent the detoxification of the spring water from flowing out, the spring water flows out of the Albizia Julibrissin forest for about a mile and is heavily guarded twelve hours a day.
Although everyone in the Yue Kingdom needs the spring water from the Albizia Julibrissin Forest to control the miasma, ordinary people must go to a place designated by the government to receive it in rations.
The spring water that ordinary people drink is the spring water that flows out of the Albizia Julibrissin forest.
Only members of the royal family and the families of important ministers can fetch water from the upper reaches of the albizia forest.
For this water, a special government convoy enters the forest every day to fetch water, and there are only a few carriages.
Shi Xi had never seen this before, so he couldn't help but become suspicious of people driving more than twenty carriages into the forest.
Eleven hid behind a tree, staring closely at the men and horses fetching water from the spring.
The team spoke very little. Apart from greeting people to fetch water and load the trucks, they didn't say a single extra word.
Until more than 20 buckets on the car were filled with water, Shiyi couldn't see anything.
The only thing that surprised her was who would need to use so much spring water.
The bucket on the car is as tall as half a person. If it is stored well, just one water can be enough to suppress the miasma for a month.
Each car carries six buckets of water, and there are more than 20 cars with a hundred buckets of water, enough for one person to use for several years.
Eleven frowned slightly. Could it be that Marquis Pingyang used Yue Ji to trade with the Snake Kingdom in exchange for spring water to suppress poison?
That day, Marquis Pingyang left injured. Shiyi didn't know if he was affected by the miasma.
But using Yue Ji to exchange for spring water is too big to use too small.
What's more, Pingyang Marquis was poisoned by the Snake King. Calculated, he has only a few months to live. What does he need from all these springs?
If he said it was for the knife, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't believe it.
Although Pingyang Hou made a deal with Xiaodao's sister, he protected Xiaodao.
But handing the knife over to the genius doctor Ling Feng to be raised, and coming to fetch water himself was already enough love and righteousness. How could he push the Snake Country to this point for the sake of an insignificant child?
Dogs will bite when they are anxious, not to mention the snake country, which forces the snake country to a dead end and fights regardless of life and death. It is impossible for the Yan army to win without hurting anyone, so more orphans and widows will be left behind.
If it wasn't Marquis Pingyang, who else would suddenly want these many springs.
Eleven hundred people are puzzled.
I was just about to follow the carriage and find out more.
A person floated out of the woods and flew toward the convoy. It was night.
The night was like a ghost, and without knowing it, the ghost got on the last carriage and sneaked into it.
The moment the car curtain fell, Ye looked towards Eleven and met Eleven's eyes in the air.
At that glance, Eleven realized that her actions were all under Ye's sight.
It would be inconvenient for her to intervene in this matter, so she had to give it up for the time being and make other plans.
After leaving the Albizia Julibrissin Forest, I saw people running wildly on the street, with chickens and dogs jumping everywhere, and it was chaos.
Eleven's heart skipped a beat, and he caught a vendor who was in a hurry to leave and asked, "What happened?"
"The army of the Yan State is about to invade, and everyone is rushing to collect their things and escape. Girl, you should also go home quickly, pack a few clothes and go into the mountains to hide." After the man finished speaking hastily, he left Shiyi behind and ran away. And go.
How can it be?
The Snake Kingdom was protected by the Albizia Julibrissin Forest, and it had been at odds with the Yan army for quite some time. No matter how strategic and skilled Marquis Pingyang was, he could only control the Snake Kingdom behind the Albizia Julibrissin Forest. Why did they suddenly invade?
Could it be that Marquis Pingyang knew that his life was over, and regardless of the life and death of his men, he conquered the Yue Kingdom before his death and asked the Yue Kingdom to bury him with him?
If this is the case, it will be even more dangerous for his mother to fall into his hands.
After a slight hesitation, he hurried towards the palace.
Almost all the ministers gathered in the palace, talking together in small groups and looking anxious.
Although Eleven has been promoted to a first-class Death Soldier and has much fewer restrictions on entering and exiting the palace, Death Soldiers do not have official positions, so Eleven cannot go in to inquire.
She slowed down and walked slowly three steps away from the officials.
In this moment, I had a rough understanding of the chaos in Beijing.
Yue Ji disappeared. Although the great wizard could summon the Snake King, he did not know how to spread poison. Although he summoned snake venom and went to the Albizia Julibrissin Forest, the miasma was not uniform.
As a result, in some places the poisonous miasma is so strong that no one can bear it, while in other places the poisonous miasma is so weak that it is not enough to pose a threat to people.
At this time, a large number of Yan army cavalry appeared out of nowhere and forced themselves directly into the acacia forest where the poisonous miasma was thin. The army can march straight into the capital.
Although it will take more than a day or two to wait for the poisonous miasma to subside, but the Yan State can spend several years with the Snake State, so how can it care about waiting for this longer?
As a result, there was today's chaos on the streets outside.
It is easy to understand that only Yue Ji knows how to accuse the Snake King of controlling poison.
If this unique skill is recognized by the great wizard, then the great wizard will have no worries about Yue Ji and can depose Yue Ji at any time and take a high position himself.
It is precisely because Yue Ji tightly covers this unique skill that she can keep her position.
But no one would have thought that Yue Ji would be openly kidnapped in the country of Yue.
Knowing what happened, there was no need for Eleven to stay in the palace anymore. Just as she was about to leave, a palace man rushed towards her and said, "Eleven, the great wizard is sending people to find you. You entered the palace at the right time. There’s no need for us to make a trip.”
Eleven's heart tightened, nothing good would ever come of it when the great wizard came to her.
There was chaos now, and she needed to seize the time to find out about her mother. She had no time to waste time with the great wizard. She refused to follow the palace people into the palace, glanced at the ministers waiting to see them, and said, "Many of these ministers have urgent matters to attend to." If you want to see the great wizard, why don't I wait here until the great wizard meets the ministers, and then call me in to talk about the matter. Otherwise, at this critical moment, if the minister sees the great wizard seeing me but not them, he will lose his heart as a minister."
This palace man is a confidant of the great wizard. He naturally knows what the great wizard is looking for in Eleven. Listening to what Eleven said, he knows that Eleven has no intention of accompanying him to see the great wizard.
When he leaves with his front foot, he can fly out of the palace with his back foot.
Although the cities on the outskirts of the Yue Kingdom have been occupied by Pingyang Marquis in recent years, the capital alone is not small. When Eleven leaves the palace, where can he find her?
He lowered his voice and said, "I heard it's related to your mother."
Eleven's expression suddenly condensed, and he quickly looked at the palace man. Seeing that the latter's expression was solemn, and it didn't look like he was cheating, he gave up the idea of leaving and tried to ask: "Is there any news about my mother?"
"I heard that your mother and your majesty fell into the hands of Marquis Pingyang, but I am a slave after all. I don't know exactly what happened. You will only know how it happened if you met the great wizard."
The palace man has been in the palace for more than ten years and is as slippery as a loach. He understands Shi Yi's skills. If he wants to leave, he will never be able to keep her.
So he revealed some of the news that Eleven wanted to know most, hooking Eleven without telling him everything. If she wanted to know the details, she could only go to see the great wizard. When Eleven saw the great wizard, his mission would be completed. .
Eleven's heart trembled, and she guessed it right.
When Marquis Pingyang kidnapped his mother, he naturally came for her.
From the day he injured Marquis Pingyang, Eleven had expected that this day would come sooner or later, so he desperately searched for a solution to the Snake King's poison, using this as his trump card to settle the matter.
But now there is no clue about the snake king's poison, and the mother has fallen into the hands of the other party. She is completely in an unfavorable passive state, and the next situation must be very bad.
The palace man urged: "Let's go quickly, the great wizard is waiting."
Eleven calmed down, no matter how bad the situation was, he had to face it, and nodded, "Please lead the way, father-in-law."
At the same time, someone else from the palace came out and called the ministers into the palace to meet the great wizard.
Eleven felt clear in his heart, fearing that Marquis Pingyang would do something and the great wizard would push him out to be used as cannon fodder.
Sure enough, the Yue diplomats met Ling Feng, the leader of the Yan army stationed in Hehuan Forest.
The other party said that they could withdraw from the army and return Yue Ji. There was only one condition... Send Shiyi to Pingyang Mansion in Yanjing, and be a concubine to Pingyang Marquis, and she would have fun for seven days.
The Vietnamese diplomat saw Shiyi's mother Wu in the other party's barracks.
It is said that the Wu family was invited to be a guest at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. At this time, he should have been on the way to Yanjing.
The more Shiyi listened, the colder her heart became. Marquis Pingyang forced her to go to Pingyang Mansion.
This period of uneasiness turned out to be because of this.
The diplomat also brought back two tokens, a gold hairpin with a dragon pattern, and a handkerchief with ordinary texture but exquisite embroidery.
Eleven recognized that the gold hairpin with dragon pattern was something Yue Ji often wore, but the handkerchief belonged to her mother. It was the handkerchief that her mother used on the day she disappeared.
In this way, Eleven will no longer have any luck in his heart.
The mother indeed fell into the hands of Marquis Pingyang.
She made Marquis Pingyang poisoned by the Snake King's poison, and life was worse than death. He forced her to stay under his body for seven days and turn into withered bones. It was really fair.
All the ministers in the palace looked at Shiyi one after another, the anger in their eyes seemed to burn her to ashes.
The news that Marquis Pingyang was poisoned by Eleven has already spread.
(I ran to the toilet every two hours at night. I felt like crying but had no tears, so I updated and went to catch up on my sleep.)
