The king will never go to court

Chapter 247 Chapter 256: Northern Frontier Pass
In the next few days, there were still roaring sounds outside the city of Kyoto.But the soldiers and people defending the city were no longer as scared and worried as they were a few days ago, and some people had already become numb.

Although the army outside the city was mighty, the Jianghu warriors were even more powerful in the first-rank realm.

But in front of the formation of "Liuyun Fushen", all attacks turned into bubbles.

Dozens of disciples of the Giant Sword Sect unleashed tens of thousands of golden sword lights, and even attacked the broken runes floating in the void, but they only smashed those runes, but could not destroy the rune fragments in this area. Clean it up completely.

Since then, the members of the Jujian Sect and the Feng family were still unable to rush directly into the city.

Seeing that the enemy was unable to attack the city of Kyoto, the people who were originally panicked were relieved.

Seeing that his disciples could not make any progress for a long time, Jing Linzu let out a cold snort, and his face turned ashen.

"You all retreat first!"

Really didn't want to wait any longer, Jing Linzu decided to try again.

Soon, after the people on his side who attacked the "Liuyun Furi" formation retreated, Jing Linzu turned around and appeared directly above the capital city.

Having learned the lesson from last time, he just turned his back to the bottom, gently lifted his right hand upwards, and a gust of surging wind spread across the sky, and within a short time, more than ten huge tornadoes appeared in the sky.

A gust of wind blew up and shattered the clouds all over the sky.

The rune fragments suspended around the capital city were also constantly shaken by the surging hurricane, and a huge gap appeared directly between them.

In just a moment, large swaths of sweat appeared on Jing Linzu's forehead, and beads of sweat even dripped down his cheeks to the void below.

"Yunbo, what are you still doing?"

Hearing Jing Linzu's strenuous cry, Bian Yunbo, who was standing at the bottom of the hill, shot together, and suddenly pushed towards the direction of the capital with both hands.

At the same time, two huge streams of energy surged out of the sleeve robe like a tiger roaring.

In the void, the gaps between the rune fragments became wider and wider, and the anger in Jing Linzu's eyes became more and more solid.

The large pieces of runes attached to the formation of "Liuyun Furi" are constantly shaking casually, refracting all kinds of strange brilliance, rushing towards the sky.

But under the coercion of the half-step Heavenly Human Realm, it seemed extremely weak.

Outside the gate of Shangang Daying Camp, Feng Shan and Feng Hai, two elders of the Feng family, stood behind the crowd, looking very inconspicuous.

"Third brother, it looks like this defensive formation is going to be irresistible. If it goes on like this, it will be breached soon."

Feng Hai carefully perceived every subtle change in the formation, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

On the other hand, Feng Shan's eyes showed a weird look that he couldn't explain clearly, and he muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be, if it was really that simple, we would have already broken it."

Not far away, Bian Yunbo, who was at the front of the crowd, suddenly felt his hands loosen, and the two sword glows he just threw out directly penetrated into the defensive formation of the capital city.

And my body seemed to be emptied suddenly, I felt it, and I was shocked, I didn't expect that this formation could absorb my inner breath, it was incredible.

"careful!"

Bian Yunbo hurriedly shouted to Jing Linzu in the void.

But on top of the huge tornado, Jing Linzu only felt that the gaps between the rune fragments were getting bigger and bigger, and he was even more happy in his heart, and ignored Bian Yunbo's warning.

When more than a dozen hurricanes tore the gaps between the rune fragments to the limit, the cold sweat on Jing Linzu's forehead kept dripping down.

Immediately, as soon as Jing Linzu's body lightened, he fell downwards.

Seeing that he was about to be caught in a hurricane, fortunately, Bian Yunbo, who arrived in time, swept him up with a strong wind.

"What kind of ghost formation is this? It can absorb our inner breath. It's too scary. This formation must not be left behind."

Jing Linzu flicked his robe fiercely, and landed on the hill
Glaring fiercely in the direction of the Feng Family's camp, he immediately returned to the Jujianmen's camp.

"Go and invite Feng Shan and Feng Hai, two clan elders."

Jing Linzu sat on the wooden chair in the tent, drank a big mouthful of warm tea, and calmed down his anger.

"It's better to let Feng Shan use Changhui directly. There is no way to attack the city anymore. This is not only a turtle shell but also a glutton!" Looking at Bian Yunbo who followed into the tent, Jing Linzu directly suggested.

"Calm down, this formation is really weird. After Feng Shan comes, we still have to discuss it again." Bian Yunbo slightly raised his hand to signal Jing Linzu not to get angry, everything is easy to discuss.

"It's a fart to discuss, I almost fell into it today. What if I really fell into the broken rune stream? Those disciples in the sect may be our own disciples, and now they are all blind."

Thinking back to that moment, the breath in his body suddenly disappeared, and Jing Linzu still had lingering fears at this moment.

It was the first time he felt so dangerous since he stepped into the half-step heaven and man realm.

"Since this formation cannot be broken by the joint efforts of the two of us, we can only rely on the treasure of the Feng family." Bian Yunbo also showed a hint of worry, hoping that "Changhui" would not disappoint everyone.

"If Feng Shan doesn't use Changhui, I'll just slap his ass and leave, and let them deal with the hungry wolves in other major domains by themselves." Jing Linzu said angrily.

After all, this action was a joint agreement between the Feng family and the Jujian sect. Even though Jing Linzu was the deacon elder, he could only obey the orders of the sect.

At this moment, there was a clear cough from outside the tent.

Lifting the curtain, Feng Shan and Feng Hai walked into the tent one after another.

In the northern border of Qianguo, deep in the snow field.It is cold all year round, a dilapidated carriage gallops ahead, and dozens of cavalry are chasing after it.

Zhao Jinyao and the maid had no choice but to slow down their schedule and proceed cautiously on the mountain road at the northern foot.

Fortunately, I did not encounter Qian Guo chasing soldiers again.

After finishing the tail, Zhao Jinyao and his party walked on the mountain road for more than ten days, and then arrived at the easternmost valley of Beilu Mountain.

The 120 coalition scout cavalry who came to patrol along the gentle wilderness mountain road and Guancheng almost collided with them.

After the order from Yunancheng, the scouts of these allied forces brought three fat and strong horses with them, as if they had patrolled the southern foot of Beilu Mountain for many days.

However, at this time, despite the drought in northern Xinjiang, the deep snow field began to snow on a large scale, and the yellowed vegetation on both sides of the road was covered by snowflakes, except for the occasional bonfire smoke from the tents of the herdsmen camp in the distance. Fang seemed angry at the northernmost tip of Qianguo's northern border.

Although the snow was heavy, it had just fallen, and no thick snow was formed on the post road. In less than five days' journey, the carriage had already arrived at the pass of Longshan City.

It was getting late, Li Bilan rubbed her cheeks that were flushed from the cold and sat on the side of the car shaft, reminding softly, "Miss. Miss, we have already arrived at the Longshan City pass."

At this moment, Zhao Jinyao suddenly opened his eyes, and the group headed north. Since the cart was pulled by a scalper, the journey was relatively smooth.

In an extremely tense situation, Zhao Jinyao actually fell asleep in the carriage.

"How long have we been walking?" Zhao Jinyao straightened her robe a little, wrapped her snow-colored cloak more tightly, and stepped out of the car.

"About six hours."

Li Bilan looked at the thoughtful Zhao Jinyao, and was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized, "Did we expose our identities? There were a lot of cavalry along the way, and soldiers from Guanyi passed by."

Zhao Jinyao calmed down, probably because she was too tired in recent days, and fell asleep for so long.

She didn't go directly into the post house, but went straight to the carriage next to her own, looked around the carriage again, and then ordered someone to carry the wooden box with the brocade box in the middle separated by ice, and followed her Enter the Longshan City pass.

Longshan City Pass is located at the northeast end of the northern border of Qian Kingdom, and it is the only way to leave Qian Kingdom.

In order to facilitate control, the post house here is shared by officials and civilians, so it is naturally extraordinarily spacious.

Because the four princes of Beizhou led the army to the south, Yunancheng ordered more than a dozen small dynasties adjacent to the Qian Kingdom to lead the army to the south.

The current pass is extremely lively.

Before Zhao Jinyao woke up from the car, Li Bilan had already ordered someone to check the Beiyuan of the post house carefully. Compared with the civilian Nanyuan, the Beiyuan was only used by the officials.

But if you stuff enough silver, you can make an exception.

When they came to the largest side courtyard in Beiyuan, Zhao Jinyao put the wooden box in the courtyard, and at the same time asked the servant to add a few boxes of ice cubes around to ensure the temperature in the courtyard.

"Miss, what's going on in this dry country? Why are so many soldiers going south?"

Standing cautiously under the courtyard facing the courtyard entrance, Li Bilan asked curiously in a low voice. "Why don't you go back and have a look?"

After passing the Longshan City pass, it is Xipinglu County at the southernmost tip of Chu State. It is a long and narrow area between the south bank of Longshan Ancient Road and the north of Dunhuang County. It is a piece of fertile field that the Longquan River impacts and travels down.

Zhao Jinyao, who was staring at the wooden box in the courtyard with a slight frown, was a little lost.

After waking up at this time, she remembered the white shadow that she had glimpsed in the snowy field.

Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's just following them specifically?Thinking of this, Zhao Jinyao couldn't help but rubbed her forehead lightly, and asked softly. "We are the only ones living in Beiyuan?"

"Yes." Li Bilan hurriedly responded without any hesitation.

After all, she had already reached the border between the two countries, and she also hoped that the business trip would be safe.After a moment of silence, he hurriedly explained again. "I gave the store a lot of money and asked the store to keep us secret and not to disclose our news."

"Not a threat?" Zhao Jinyao raised her head slightly, but did not look at Li Bilan, but still kept her gaze on the wooden box in the courtyard.

"No. No." Li Bilan was startled for a moment, then explained with a silly smile.

"That's good!" Zhao Jinyao nodded slightly.

"Are you sure it's someone from the south?" That night, a middle-aged man in a blue cloak was in a high-class wing room in the North Garden of Longshan City Pass. Looking at the dark snowy night outside the window, only a little candlelight in the west is reflected on the window paper.

"Yes, the people who came to report paid attention to their carriage." A young scholar sitting by the fire at the door sat on a wooden couch and just took a sip of bitter tea unique to the northern Xinjiang region.

"It doesn't matter, we came all the way, and we didn't expect that there would be such a heavy snowstorm at the pass of Longshan City, so let's ignore those trivial matters. We can't disobey the orders of the Feng family."

Another man sitting opposite the young scribe stretched out a pair of plump hands to warm himself by the fire, and moved his bloated waist from time to time.

"Forget it, after all, His Highness doesn't want to completely quarrel with Yunan City again."

The middle-aged man closed the window gently, turned the teacup in his hand a few times and sighed helplessly. "Master Lou is still thoughtful."

The slightly fat Lord Lou's face suddenly became a little strange, looking at the flames in the fire in front of him, talking softly to himself. "It's also the first time they have come to Longshan City Pass."

Although the voice was extremely soft, the scribe sitting opposite suddenly thought of something and woke up suddenly.

Staring at the fat body that was still moving to lean against the fire for warmth, he looked shocked. "Brother Zhiyuan is talking about the matter in Kyoto?"

"The wooden box, I can see it clearly, it is extremely heavy, and it keeps emitting a cold air." Hearing the exchange between the two people beside the fire, the middle-aged man leaning against the window wrapped the blue cloak more tightly.

"Probably not." Lou Zhiyuan shook his head, his eyes dimmed. "However, I hope so."

"It should be" The young scribe on the side lifted his green robe and leaned forward, getting closer to the fire.

Hearing the affirmative tone, the middle-aged man at the window put the teacup in his hand aside, walked a few steps closer to the two of them, stopped by the fire, and asked in a low voice. "Master Jiang is so sure?"

"That's right, brother Fengming, are you so sure?" Lou Zhiyuan withdrew his right hand, propped up his neck that was almost invisible, and stared at the other party with his head in his head.

"I'm not sure, but there should be seven or eight points." Jiang Fengming lifted the green shirt again, and squatted directly by the fire, facing the two elderly colleagues in front of him.

"I've seen that wooden box too. There is no trace of bumps at all. We just arrived in Baima City in Dongpinglu, and the road was blocked by heavy snow a few days ago. It was only a few days ago that the wind and snow were a little lighter, so everyone set off here."

"That's right." Lou Zhiyuan put his blue cloak next to the fire to bake again.

"They must have come from the south. If they came from the northern border of Qian Kingdom, the bump marks on the wooden box would not be so shallow. After all, the box is very heavy."

"It can be explained so well. If it is really that thing, we will send it back to Tianlong City as soon as possible, so that His Highness can prepare early."

"Brother Yunhe thinks so too?"

Lou Zhiyuan stretched out his warm and fat palm, pressed the blue cloak on his knees, and looked at the hungry middle-aged man beside him.

"Then send an urgent letter to His Highness tomorrow." Before Jiang Fengming could finish his sentence, he withdrew and went to the desks in front of the bed to write.

"Don't worry, wait until you arrive in Kyoto, and then invent the book after confirming that it is correct."

"Invention book?" Jiang and Lou were stunned for a moment.However, after a while, the two woke up instantly.

Just because it was a letter sent to Tianlong City, even if Kit Kat was hidden, it had to pass through the Southern Territory after all.

To put it bluntly, it is simply impossible to get rid of the eyes, ears and eyes of General Yunan's Mansion in the Southern Region.

Jiang and Lou looked at each other and immediately nodded in agreement.

In a quiet courtyard in the northernmost section of Beiyuan, the noisy voice from Nanyuan could no longer be heard.

Zhao Jinyao sat on the soft bed beside the fire, flipping through the gossip Li Bilan collected from the store.

In the past few months, although no major incidents have happened in Yunan City, there are still some minor incidents.

For example, the Privy Council of Tianlong City sent a group of officials to inspect various regions before winter, but they did not name the specific places.

In this regard, Zhao Jinyao tightly held the news with a smile in her right hand, her brows were slightly frowned, and a trace of inexplicable panic suddenly came to her heart.

I don't know how long it took, and then I slowly let go of my hand.

However, this time shouldn't be the time to think about these things, the most important thing for Zhao Jinyao is to get rid of the things in the courtyard.

The brocade box was still unable to be opened, but the cold air was emitting more and more from it, which was already unbearable for her.

Hearing the sound of light footsteps from far to near at the eaves outside the door, Zhao Jinyao withdrew her thoughts, straightened her robes, and faced each other solemnly. "Have you checked it out?"

When they entered the pass of Longshan City, Zhao Jinyao and his party learned from the store that there were still a group of civil servants from other countries staying here.

Out of subconscious vigilance, after nightfall, Li Bilan took advantage of the darkness to investigate.

"Report, Miss." Li Bilan took a step forward and stood on the right side of the door, and then replied in a low voice: "It should be those civil servants. There is a trace of aura from the guards guarding the door, but the martial arts aura of the people in the room is weak."

"Perhaps other dynasties in the Southern Territory are not sure." Zhao Jinyao was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, frowned at Li Bilan who was by the door, and said, "Don't worry about them for the time being, we still have to fight for twelve on the way to Tianlong City." Divide the spirit."

"Yes, miss." Li Bilan was about to exit the door, but was stopped by Zhao Jinyao again, and hurriedly stopped under the eaves outside the door.

Zhao Jinyao moved the cloak in front of her lower body slightly, and covered her legs tightly.Recalling the things mentioned in the news again, he immediately changed his tone. "Once anyone approaches our courtyard, you will notify me immediately."

"Miss, don't worry, you can take a good rest. I'll go and watch first."

After Li Bilan saluted, she retreated to the side hall outside the house.
