Keyboard Immortal Chapter 51: Ambush
"What's the matter?" Zu'an's heart skipped a beat, could it be that she discovered what happened with the Little Demon Empress just now? I don't know if it's the smell of the little demon queen's powder or something else.
"Why don't you have any vitality fluctuations on your body? You don't look much different from ordinary people." Yu Yanluo looked at him worriedly.
Zuan couldn't help being embarrassed, the other party cared about me so much, but he was thinking about those messy things: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that my cultivation technique is a bit special..."
After listening to his explanation, Yu Yanluo was still a little worried, and even checked his pulse to feel that there was nothing wrong with his body, so she felt relieved: "Your exercises are really miraculous, if anyone in the future I'm afraid I'll suffer a lot if I take you lightly."
Zuan laughed: "I want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger after what you said."
The two chatted for a while, and Yu Yanluo's attention returned to the house: "I just went to look for you at the place before you. I heard that the Little Demon Empress gave you a new Prince Regent's Mansion, so I'll come and try it out." Try it out, I didn't expect you to be here, but the Little Demon Empress treats you really well."
Zu An thought to himself that she is not only good, but she is very familiar with her, she knows my strengths, and I know her depth.
"But the little prince was completely supported by you, and you deserve it." Yu Yanluo sighed a little. If it was before, it would not be difficult for her to give a house like Zu'an, after all, it is the number one in the world. To be the richest man, unfortunately, after the accident in the Yu family, it may not be so easy to do now.
"Okay, don't think about that, come quickly, pick a yard you like." Zaun pulled her to walk around the mansion.
"Hey, we are not relatives now, this is not good..." Despite saying this, Yu Yanluo couldn't help getting up, looking around with a pair of beautiful eyes, women have a natural feeling for their new home Dress up.
"How can our relationship be called non-kinship?" Zaun put his arms around her slender waist. Marry you together."
"Ah?" Yu Yanluo was both pleasantly surprised and shy, but as the head of the Yu family for so many years, she quickly realized that the Great Elf King would definitely be unhappy with such an answer. I have a special status...
She sighed faintly, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "I don't need it here. After all, I still have the status of Mrs. Yunzhong County. It's not suitable to marry here. It's good for you to marry Miss Qiao."
Zu'an held her hand: "Don't worry, when the time comes, the Prince Regent will marry Queen Medusa. Don't worry too much about Mrs. Yu in Yunzhong County."
Yu Yanluo was a little moved by what he said, but she was still sensible enough and shook her head slightly: "Although the monster race and the human race are far away, there are many caravans between them, and it won't be long before the news gets back. But someone with a heart."
"Nowadays, in the eyes of the world, the Duke of Yunzhong is not dead. If you need it, you can still use the resources there as the Duke of Yunzhong. As the wife of the Duke of Yunzhong, I have a natural reputation. At that time, I can assist you to do some things. Now the world is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there are undercurrents surging, and the foundation of Yunzhong County cannot just be abandoned."
"I've wronged you so much." Zaun frowned.
"It's not a grievance. I don't want to be completely bound to the Yaozu. I also want to return to Yu's house one day. I think it's good now," Yu Yanluo comforted, "Oh, don't think about it. Now, take me to choose a room."
"In that case, let's not get married for now, and wait until the future becomes clearer." Zu'an felt Yu Yanluo's thoughtfulness, and thought that he was so blessed only when his ancestral grave was full of smoke.
Yu Yanluo is a little worried: "But isn't the elf princess..."
"Don't worry, Xue'er is not in a hurry, she is still young." Zaan finished speaking and dragged her inside to choose a room.
Seeing the exquisite and quiet rooms inside, the sorrowful clouds on Yu Yanluo's brows gradually dissipated.
…
Some families are happy and some are sad, and now Sang Hong is very worried.
In order to delay the return of Zaan, he racked his brains to slow down the mission's return to Beijing.
It's either a bandit or a bandit, and even made a cameo appearance as Lord Qingtian, adjudicating the passing of the people in the state capital.
As a result, the capital couldn't take it anymore, the emperor Lei Ting was furious, sent someone to question him, and ordered him to return to Beijing quickly.
Thinking of the uncontrollable anger in the imperial decree, Sang Hong secretly smiled bitterly, wondering what kind of punishment he would receive after returning to Beijing.
However, it is a trivial matter on my own side, and it is a major matter that Zaan never comes back.
What is the crime of colluding with the Yaozu?
The only happy thing recently is the news from the mansion that the daughter-in-law Zheng Dan is pregnant.
Before, Yunzhong County was too far away, coupled with the fact that several major forces in Yunzhong County were in chaos, and there were demon cults and rebels on the way, so the family letters were lost several times.
Of course he knew that it was not Zheng Dan who was pregnant, but Qian'er was pregnant, just to avoid people's eyes and ears, and at the same time to facilitate the announcement that Sang Qian's posthumous child agreed to pass the letter like this.
"I finally did not become a sinner of the Sang family." Sang Hong burst into tears, and felt that all the efforts during this period were worthwhile, so he did not lose money by gambling.
"It's a pity that I can't contact Azu." I tried to contact the other party through the audio-visual mirror before, but for some reason, I couldn't get in touch.
Now that the emperor has appointed a special person to supervise his return to Beijing as soon as possible, the audio-visual mirror in the mission is not so convenient to use, lest the emperor's eyeliner know that Azu is in the Yaozu.
"Master Sang, Silkworm City is ahead." Soon a guard pointed to the city wall not far away and reported.
Sang Hong frowned, silkworms eating mulberry leaves, the name of this city is not very auspicious.
But he soon burst out laughing. This city got its name because it is good at raising silkworms and making silk, and it's not too far from the capital. What could be wrong under the feet of the emperor?
Soon the local officials of Cancheng came to greet the imperial envoys, and suggested that the city could not accommodate so many people at one time. In addition, he entered the city with dozens of followers.
Gao Ying stayed in Yunzhong County and continued to serve as a county lieutenant to maintain the local balance of power.
Pei You was worried that Gao Ying would not be able to deal with all the forces in Yunzhong County by himself, so he also stayed to help.
Of course Sang Hong is deeply skeptical about this. Maybe that guy is living in a brothel in Yunzhong County and is reluctant to come back. After all, the family in the capital is strictly controlled and not so chic.
Xiao Jianren, Dai Laoqi, and Chen Laoba among the embroidered clothes messengers also went back to report their duties ahead of schedule.
After the warm reception dinner, Sang Hong returned to the residence slightly drunk.
Originally he was cautious and wouldn't drink so much on weekdays, but today when he heard the news that his daughter was pregnant, the big stone that had been weighing on his heart was finally removed, and he drank a few more glasses when he got excited.
Drowsy until midnight, when he was suddenly awakened by the noise outside, he looked out the window and saw the fire flickering, and the air was filled with a smell of smoke.
"It's out of the water!" He reacted immediately, put on a piece of clothes hastily, and ran out.
Soon the members of the mission came out one after another, and many were still asleep. Others rushed in to call, and the staff in the post house struggled to put out the fire, and the whole scene was in chaos.
Looking at the raging fire, Sang Hong suddenly became sober, such a violent fire was definitely not formed naturally!
As an expert in conspiracies and tricks, his hairs immediately stood on end.
"Let's go, get out of the city!" He hurriedly beckoned his men to rush out, as long as they joined the army outside the city, they would be safe. If they wanted to deal with a group of elite Habayashi guards with hundreds of people, they would have to mobilize a large army, but this is close Capital, how could it be possible.
At this moment, a large group of masked crossbowmen appeared around the posthouse, shooting arrows densely, and everyone in the field fell down immediately.
Sang Hong was about to deal with those archers, when suddenly a black space opened obliquely behind him, and a slender, pitch-black sword pierced towards his ribs like a poisonous snake, as fast as lightning!
