This time Yang Rui rushed back even harder than the last time, and he felt more anxious when he came back than when he went there. Secondly, he was more prepared this time. Not only did his riding skills improve a lot while riding on the horse, but also using the Five Elements Water Technique to relieve his fatigue. He could almost ride day and night.
Even after using the wind method in the Five Elements Wood attribute, Yang Rui lightened his body and stabilized his body on the horse, and he could sleep while riding. The knights walking next to him looked at him with mixed feelings, and felt that a lot of common sense could not be applied to his highness.
I have never seen someone who can ride a long distance with such ease.
For ten days, there was almost no rest. As soon as they arrived at the inn, they changed horses and rode two people together. Finally, they made it back to Langyuan City in the shortest possible time. It wasn't Yang Rui who couldn't bear it all the way, but the guards. Although they could endure the long ride, they couldn't sleep while riding like Yang Rui did. They were so tired that their eyes were all bloodshot, and their faces looked other than The grayish yellow of the smoke along the way is the paleness of fatigue.
He was in such a hurry because Yang Rui was frightened by his father. After some analysis, in Yang Rui's eyes, Nanyuan Kingdom was now on a single-plank bridge with abyss on both sides. If you were not careful, it would be a doomed situation. According to his father, the only way to solve the problem currently lies with his teacher Zhang Yan.
The matter was urgent, and Yang Rui didn't dare to delay.
Wang Lanping at home was surprised to see the tired Yang Rui, because Zhang Yan had told her before that Yang Rui might stay in the imperial city for a while longer, and it would take at least more than a month before he came back.
"Ouch! This little face is dirty. Go and wash it quickly. I'll have someone boil some hot water for you."
Wang Lanping knew that Yang Rui was a prince, but the old lady was now used to this little baby, who was so fair and fair that she couldn't see any difference from the neighbor's baby on the street. Moreover, taking care of her grandson Zhang Zhiyun now makes Wang Lanping particularly pleasing to all children under the age of twelve, and she is happy to see who is well-behaved.
"Old lady, I'll take a shower later. Where is my teacher?"
"Hey, you little kid, come find your teacher when you come back. Go out. You've been out with the little stones and the little steamed buns for a few days. You must have gone to repair some mountain gate again, right? You, hurry up and take a shower. After I finish washing, I I’ll prepare delicious food for you, maybe your teacher and the others will be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!”
Yang Rui's face was immediately filled with a helpless expression, and he could only be pulled by Wang Lanping to the water room to rinse.
However, Yang Rui's luck was pretty good. At noon the next day, his beloved teacher Zhang Yan actually flew back with Wang Nian and Liu Xin on the Skylark Shuttle.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"teacher!"
"Huh?! Xiaomu? Are you back so soon?"
"Teacher, I came back yesterday. I didn't get much rest along the way. I rushed back all night." As he said that, Yang Rui glanced at Zhang Yan with a guilty conscience, as if to confirm the expression on Zhang Yan's face. expression.
Zhang Yan wanted to laugh in his heart. He has lived with the three children around him for so long, how come he doesn't know that Yang Rui's appearance means something is on his mind?
So Zhang Yan touched Yang Rui's head and asked, "Are you in such a hurry to come back because you have something urgent to do to find your teacher? Okay, let's go to the study."
He gave Wang Nian, who was showing off the construction progress of the mountain gate to Yang Rui, a slap on the back of his head, and told Liu Xin to go back and wash up, then eat first without waiting for them. Then he led Yang Rui to the study.
What can happen to Yang Rui? The urgent matter that made him rush back from Yuanding Imperial City must have come from the Nanyuan Kingdom royal family.
But looking at Yang Rui's anxious and uneasy look, Zhang Yan probably thought it was not a trivial matter. But recently, there has been a rare peace in Nanyuan.
Could it be the visit of the demon clan?
The Haoyue Demon Kingdom sent an envoy, and the three hundred demon soldiers and demon generals could not be concealed. Even though Langyuan City is located in Beijiang County, many rumors about this were still heard.
When he arrived at the study, Yang Rui very attentively made a cup of hot tea for Zhang Yan, and then coquettishly handed over a copper bar that he had carried close to his chest.
"Teacher, this is a handwritten letter written by my father to you. My father also said that he couldn't leave because of the government affairs, otherwise he would have begged the teacher in person. So this time I asked the disciple to beg the teacher on my father's behalf, and he must help. Nanyuan Kingdom!" Yang Rui said and actually knelt down. The kid was really scared to death by his father.
Zhang Yan didn't care about Yang Rui's kneeling on the ground. He didn't care if his disciple knelt down. What he cared about was the autographed letter from Emperor Yang Sheng in his hand. The content after the three or two lines of polite words was completely beyond Zhang Yan's expectations. He did not expect that the demon clan would actually propose this option to Nanyuan Kingdom. It’s clear, “I don’t want to fight either, and so do you, right? How about a compromise?”
In addition, Yang Sheng did not hide his purpose at all in the letter. Because Yang Sheng knew that he could frighten his own son, but he certainly could not frighten Zhang Yan. Instead of having the embarrassment of dropping the price after someone sees your little thoughts. It's better to be honest from the beginning. After all, in Yang Sheng's view, the request he made was really not harmful to Zhang Yan at all. It was just a detour, and many things ended up involving Nanyuan Kingdom first.
For example, in the letter, Yang Sheng stated in detail that he hoped to use Zhang Yan's influence to build the Nanyuan Kingdom into a special country in the human race. Not only is there no spirit race raging here, but there is also the unique Bone Strengthening Pill in the Wild Sky Domain, as well as the special bell that can deal with the spirit race.
The things mentioned above have nothing to do with Nanyuan Kingdom. They are Zhang Yan's abilities. Although Zhang Yan and Nanyuan Kingdom have always had a good relationship, they are by no means equal. Yang Sheng knew this very well, so he hoped that Zhang Yan would take the bone-strengthening pill and the ghost-catching bell in a roundabout way, circle around the body of Nanyuan Kingdom, and then disperse. The result will not change anything for Zhang Yan. But it is very different for Nanyuan Kingdom.
Once the bone-strengthening pill and the ghost-catching bell in Zhang Yan's hands are out of the hands of the Nanyuan Kingdom, regardless of whether the Nanyuan Kingdom has any room for control, the fact is that Zhang Yan has been given a kind of substantial power.
Just like Yang Sheng said in the letter, at that time Nanyuan Kingdom was a special country in the human race. Anyone who wants the Bone Strengthening Pill and the Ghost Capturing Bell must remain quite friendly with Nanyuan Kingdom. Moreover, one of these two things is a pure consumable, and the other is a semi-consumable that needs to be brought back for Zhang Yan to empty before he can continue to use it. There is no way to get rid of the kind of dependence.
"It's a good plan. From now on, it will be difficult for other countries to deliberately target Nanyuan Kingdom under such circumstances. They can only turn a blind eye to the matter between Nanyuan Kingdom and Haoyue Demon Kingdom.
But dealing with the demon clan is full of thorns inside and outside. "Zhang Yan closed the copper bar in his hand, but he had no objection to helping the emperor.
Zhang Yan was just curious. What changes and catastrophes the demon clan said will happen within five years?
