The dark and dilapidated Beast Temple was in ruins.
"Where is this? It doesn't seem like a place of imprisonment?" This was the first question that came to mind when Zhong Suling woke up. She lay tiredly on a pile of firewood and looked around, but found no one.
In her subconscious, she still remembered the cold sword edge on her neck.
She had a hundred reasons to believe that she had no chance of escaping, so the scene in front of her made her a little confused.
What she saw when she opened her eyes was not the dark, damp and deserted stone room she had seen in the past few days, but a dilapidated beast temple that seemed to have been abandoned.
Almost everywhere in the temple is covered with dust, which shows that it has been abandoned for many years. But there was no dust at all where he lay down or around him. This was obviously because someone had wiped it before.
This abnormal sign immediately aroused Zhong Suling's suspicion.
Logically speaking, if that group of people caught him, they would never be so polite to him. The most likely thing would be to just find a corner and throw him there to fend for himself.
But all the signs now indicate that the other party is being polite to me. Or...care.
This may sound like an incredible thing, but judging from the current situation of the ruined temple, it is currently the most likely scenario.
"It looks like I was rescued?" Zhong Suling looked at the red beast meat roasting on the fire shelf not far away and smiled faintly. She is an extremely smart woman, and through some clues, she has already guessed the truth.
"I just don't know, who is the person who saved me? Judging from the situation here, he seems to have left for something..." Thinking of this, she slowly sat up, looked at the only lighting in the temple, and frowned slightly.
"I don't know, how is Lang Yue doing in the palace now? I suddenly disappeared in the cold palace, she must be very worried!!" Zhong Suling sighed softly, and then smiled slightly at her own thoughts. .
She loves Lang Yue deeply and does not want to harm her daughter because of herself. But she also knew that this was simply impossible.
"I hope your Majesty can distinguish right from wrong and not be influenced by villains..."
Thinking of this, she sighed again.
At this moment, thunder exploded outside, and the temple door was pushed open.
Zhong Suling was stunned for a moment, and then saw an extremely handsome young man in red appearing behind the temple gate together with several men and women.
"This is a master, a master of swordsmanship." Zhong Suling looked at the young man in red carefully, looking slightly shocked. She could feel that the aura emanating from the young man in front of her was no less than that of herself in her heyday.
"Such a young peak master of Gang Qi leaving the body is probably rare even in the Central Plains."
She had already seen from the clothes of the people in front of her that they were not from barbaric countries, but should be from the Central Plains.
"I just don't know if they are the people from the Central Plains who were mentioned by Lang Yue." Zhong Suling thought to himself.
When Lang Yue pretended to be a chamberlain and went to the Cold Palace to meet her, he also mentioned that the Jiulong Mansion came to the Man Kingdom, and even mentioned that their troops were divided into two groups, one entering the palace, and the other going outside to inquire for information.
There were very few people from the Central Plains in the Barbarian Kingdom, so seeing these people, Zhong Suling almost subconsciously thought of this possibility.
…
…
Zhong Suling was looking at herself, and Huo Yuanji was also looking at her.
Although the woman in front of her is dressed as an ordinary barbarian woman, from her reaction to seeing him and the change in her expression, it can be seen that this woman is anything but ordinary.
Huo Yuanji could even feel a strange energy wave coming from her body. It was clearly the energy aura belonging to the Central Plains martial arts.
In other words, the barbarian woman in front of me actually has a martial arts body from the Central Plains, which is a bit incredible.
Boom!
The sky thunder exploded and made a loud noise, which made the world more depressing and brought Huo Yuanji back to his senses.
He slightly clasped his fists at the barbarian woman and said with a smile: "Girl, don't panic, we are just passing by to take shelter from the rain. Other than that, we have no other intention."
Zhong Suling heard the thunder outside and knew that a heavy rain was coming. She looked at the people behind Huo Yuanji. Everyone exuded an extremely powerful aura, and they were obviously not mediocre.
With such strength, if they really want to harm themselves, there is nothing they can do.
"This is an ownerless land, and I'm only staying temporarily. You can just do what you want." Zhong Suling smiled slightly.
After hearing this, she also understood that these people in front of her were definitely not the benefactors who rescued her from the edge of the sword.
Huo Yuanji also smiled, and then arranged for everyone to enter the ruined temple to take shelter from the rain.
While making arrangements, he secretly looked at Zhong Suling. When he spoke and saluted just now, he deliberately used the understanding and speaking habits in the Central Plains, in order to test the woman in front of him.
The woman's answer also used the speaking habits of the Central Plains.
Therefore, he was 80% sure that the woman in front of him should be from the Central Plains. But for some unknown reason, she ended up living in a barbarian country in the Western Region, and she was still wearing the clothes of a barbarian.
"What are you looking at? Your eyes are straight?" Yan Zun walked over and cursed with a smile.
Zhong Suling also felt Huo Yuanji's gaze, but when she saw Yan Zun, her whole mind was shocked!
She couldn't feel the aura of the middle-aged man in black in front of her at all!
This is almost impossible to happen.
After all, after so many years of practice, her body has already reached the peak level of Gang Qi separation. There are very few people in the world who cannot detect Qi.
Except...the legendary martial arts saint.
"Could it be that the person in front of me is actually one of the saints of martial arts?" Zhong Suling was extremely shocked. How could such a person come to the barbarian country?
And there are such powerful people, where do these people come from?
She didn't know what to think anymore.
At this time, the Ice King walked in slowly.
His snow-white hair and unfathomable aura immediately surprised Zhong Suling again, and a figure immediately appeared in his mind.
"Bing King? Why is this old man in the Barbarian Kingdom? What's going on with these people?" Zhong Suling was completely confused.
There are two strong men at the Holy Realm level accompanying them. Is this group of people in front of me really the group left outside by the Jiulong Mansion as I thought?
Although Lang Yue told her many things, he did not mention the actual strength of the people in Jiulong Mansion, let alone the Four Saints. Therefore, she did not know the true strength of Jiulong Mansion.
Moreover, because she heard the details of Jiulong Mansion from Lang Yue, she knew that Jiulong Mansion was just an official residence of the Xuan Dynasty.
In her opinion, no matter how powerful a government was, there would not be many experts in it.
She naturally didn't expect that there were not only masters in Jiulong Mansion, but also a cloud of masters.
Huo Yuanji asked Yan Zun: "Grandpa, do you think that woman from the barbarian country is a little strange?"
Yan Zun narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "What do you want to say?"
Huo Yuanji thought for a moment, turned his eyes away from Zhong Suling, and said, "I think she should be a woman from the Central Plains, but she is also wearing the service of a barbarian country, which always feels a little strange."
"What's so strange about this? Besides, if you really feel strange, you can ask her directly." Yan Zun smiled faintly, and then came to the bonfire and looked at the roasted animal meat. Thinking.
Zhong Suling knew that he was a saint, so she felt a little more awe in her heart. With her intelligence, she naturally saw Yan Zun's intentions, so she simply said generously: "Senior, don't be suspicious. Little girl It is true that he is not a native of the barbarian country, so he has no taboos against the meat of wild beasts."
Yan Zun nodded slightly, made a look at Huo Yuanji behind him, and said with a smile: "I see, this is just too rude of me."
Zhong Suling smiled and said, "Senior, you're welcome."
At this time, Bing Wang frowned slightly, looked at Zhong Suling, and asked: "Girl, has something happened to you? Why is your aura so weak?"
Zhong Suling smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, senior, but this matter is a private matter of this little girl..."
Before he finished speaking, Bing Wang nodded, "I understand."
…
…
As the saying goes: Meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
Huo Yuanji and others met Zhong Suling, who also came from the Central Plains, in this unfamiliar barbarian country, and immediately felt a lot more friendly. In addition, most of them were from Jianghu and had a bold personality. It didn't take long for them to become familiar with him.
At this time, the summons on Huo Yuanji's chest suddenly flashed.
Before leaving Xuandu this time, Lin Feifei specially used the sound transmission and prohibition technique learned from the memory of the ancestor of the Fenglong clan to make a simple magic weapon combined with jade slips. It has the same function as the inscription magic weapon, except that it uses Different spells.
Since it was her first time to use the restraint, she didn't do more and only made two pieces for testing.
One piece was on Huo Yuanji's body, and the other piece was on Chen Yutian's body.
Huo Yuanji took out the summons from his arms and attached his spiritual sense to it. After a moment, his expression suddenly changed! !
When everyone around him saw this, he became slightly more solemn.
"Brother Chen, what did they say?" It wasn't until Huo Yuanji put away the summons that Lin Feifei spoke with a hint of curiosity and solemnity.
Huo Yuanji spoke slowly, his expression extremely solemn.
"He said that Princess Langyue is currently under house arrest by Jieli because she is suspected of assassinating Concubine Li and is suspected of being related to the former rebel Fox Clan!!"
"What did you say?"
A scream suddenly came, making Huo Yuanji and everyone stunned.
Immediately, their eyes were involuntarily focused in one direction.
I saw Zhong Suling looking at Huo Yuanji with a look of surprise on his face. There was also a hint of worry in his eyes, which flashed across inadvertently...
