Chapter 184 The Princess's Soul Escaped
Chapter 184 The Princess's Soul Escaped
After a night of wind and snow, the sky over the snowy area gradually brightened.
However, because the cold fog after the snow was too thick, the streets were covered with white.
At this time, a demon merchant doing business on Dengfeng Avenue suddenly heard the sound of clanking iron armor. Looking up, he saw a group of demon soldiers and generals in the imperial court escorting a group of people through the cold fog towards the towering right peak of the Twin Peaks.
So in front of the steaming steamer, the vendors couldn't help but stop what they were doing and watch.
There were more than a hundred people being escorted. As they moved forward, their figures gradually disappeared in the cold fog, but the rattling sound of shackles was still clear.
Afterwards, the group walked towards the ridge, braving the sharp snow and wind.
The Scale Clan Chief and the Fang Clan Chief had blank expressions on their faces, and it was hard to tell whether they were sad or happy.
They have no regrets and they are loyal to His Majesty.
Last night's raid was actually no different from the coalition forces' attack on Hantie Pass. They were all fighting for their tribes, and they knew that His Majesty knew what was in their hearts.
At this time, the sun began to break through the cold fog slightly, and people in the two cities inside and outside the Demon Emperor City had already begun to discuss.
Everyone knows that the Scaled and Fanged tribes attacked and killed the human envoys from Yuyuan, but they are unclear about the details and the impact. They only know that someone was imprisoned in the cold prison.
At this time, Ji You walked out of the room, took a look at the crystal clear icicles hanging in front of the eaves, and then stood on the corridor with everyone, golden light gradually emerging from his eyes.
At the top of the right peak of the Twin Peaks is the demon clan’s cold prison, a prison that the demon clan shudders with fear at the mention of it.
This is not because there are cruel tortures or beatings in prison. Just the endless whiteness is enough to cause a person to have a mental breakdown during the detention process.
Ji You used his divine sense to see through the cold fog and watched the door of the cold prison slowly open. He watched as the people from the Linya and Linya tribes who had participated in the attack were sent in, and then he withdrew his gaze.
After the night attack on Yuyuan, no human was injured or killed. The Demon Emperor sent troops to capture the two tribes of scaled demons. The next step is to make a promise, and then they can go home.
The women of the demon tribe have tails, and this was confirmed by the buttocks of the demon princess, filling a major gap in human data about the demon tribe.
In addition, I also picked up a wild knife.
But my hands can’t move anymore, and I don’t know how long it will take to recover.
Furthermore, the important things were seen by the maidservant beside the demon princess, and a little bit of her innocence was lost.
Ji You silently calculated the gains and losses of this trip and was quite satisfied. After all, his biggest gain was preventing the people of Fengzhou from suffering.
But it’s a pity that he didn’t enter the legendary treasure house of the demon clan.
Stealing is detrimental to professional ethics. Ji You, who aspires to be a gangster, is only willing to rob. The definition of robbing is to take something away when someone is watching, and that person dare not say a word.
But the treasure house belongs to the Demon Emperor, so I'm afraid this won't work...
It’s okay, just remember the position and go back to practice.
"I think the matter of the Monster and Barbarian Alliance will come to an end for the time being."
Ji You said softly, "But it's only temporary, because the purpose of the demon tribe returning to Jiuzhou will not change, and this time they escorted the Linya tribe and the Linya tribe to the snowy peak, probably for us to see, they will not be punished."
The people on the corridor couldn't help but look at the snow-capped peaks outside the window. They could just barely see the people walking in the snow.
"For a big shot like the Demon Emperor, the level of consideration is far more complicated than ours. We naturally cannot guess it, but fortunately the result is what we want."
"Looks like we can go back..."
"Ah."
Ji You nodded and raised his eyes: "Winter is coming in Jiuzhou too, right?"
Gongshu Chou nodded: "It seems that the time is about right."
"After winter is over, it will be spring ploughing."
At this time, Ji You was still thinking about going back to carry out joint reclamation.
At this moment, a tall figure walked out from the mist under the morning light. He had a slender waist and slow steps. He carried a medicine box on his shoulder and looked towards Ji You who was on the corridor.
[Dear doctor, come for follow-up visit]
Seeing this scene, everyone turned to look at Ji You.
The demon princess came here in a hurry yesterday and only saw Ji You. Unexpectedly, she came again early in the morning, and she seemed to have a tired look on her face.
Gongshu Chou was standing on the corridor at this time. Seeing this, he turned around and looked at him: "This demon princess seems to be very interested in you."
Ji You glanced at him and said, "It's just a simple doctor-patient relationship. She is also the one who doesn't want to fight, which is consistent with my philosophy."
"I don't think so. Otherwise, with her wealth and status, why would she always be so positive towards you?"
"Of course, it's the care of a proper doctor to a patient. The other thing is to comfort him. When there's an attack, someone from the Demon Emperor's lineage has to come out to comfort us. The princess's identity is also a sign of sincerity."
"Why is this sincerity only for you?"
"Just keep solving the case. Who can solve it better than you..."
Ji You said something, turned to look at Princess Feng Yang, and said please.
He still didn't understand why Gongshu Chou had good intentions towards him, but he felt that this guy was after all forty years old, an age when he should be mature and steady. He also looked mysterious on weekdays, so he would not make up stories based on hearsay.
But what he didn't know was that Gongshu Chou was already eager to return to Jiuzhou to be the masked storyteller.
Because during this trip, apart from Ji You who picked up a wild knife, his gain was the biggest.
The harvest is not physical objects, but materials that can be called intangible cultural heritage.
Fighting barbarians in close combat, beheading the king of soldiers with a sword, and killing the demon general, he felt that his value was going to increase crazily.
Now if the demon princess is secretly attracted to him because of his bravery, it would be even more incredible.
Because the first three times are direct boasting, it may sound a bit empty, but the latter one can vividly highlight Ji You's bravery in an invisible way.
[As expected of Brother Gongshu]
[How could Senior Brother Gongshu be able to fight back and forth with such a person? 】
Gongshu Chou stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking at the pure white in the distance with a faint expression. He didn't know how to accept this praise when he returned.
At this time, Ji You had already returned to the room with Princess Feng Yang. Feng Yang lifted Ji You's arm and bent it several times.
Perhaps it was because the incident of showing her tail through her clothes yesterday was a bit too much, now thinking about it, the demon princess was a little quiet today. She didn't say much, just gently held Ji You's palm, her expression was calm and gentle, her movements were gentle and slow, and she would yawn from time to time.
Ji You was just like a gentleman, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his mouth, and his mouth looked at his heart.
But he was still not sure whether he should hold hands during the follow-up visit.
At the same time, Ye Han came to Princess Feng Yang's mansion again.
But after searching around, he couldn't find any trace of his sister, so he asked her personal maid Xiaorou to come over: "Where is Feng Yang?"
"The princess is out."
"out?"
"Go and see the human race."
Ye Han was stunned for a moment: "When?"
Xiaorou glanced at the sky and said, "Your Highness, it's probably around the morning hour. I left just as the sky was getting light."
Ye Han opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Although Feng Yang looks well-educated, she actually has a bad habit that only her relatives know about.
She has been a very lazy person since she was a child, and she is always irritable when getting up. She usually sleeps until 9:00 p.m. before getting up, and she has never gotten up so early for anyone...
At the same time, the follow-up consultation in the spiritual garden was over. Feng Yang kept his little hand for a while before slowly pulling it out of Ji You's hand. Then he put on the medicine box and returned to the mansion.
Ye Han did not leave and was still waiting for him in the mansion.
Seeing that her brother was staring at her, Princess Fengyang took the initiative to speak: "I'm going to see the human race."
Ye Han looked at her, thought for a long time and then said, "Do you know that those humans are leaving soon?"
"?"
"After the Scaled Fang and Scaly Teeth tribesmen who participated in the attack were imprisoned in the Sky Prison this morning, news came from the palace that my father was going to summon the human delegation. I think their mission is about to end."
Feng Yang was silent for a long time and then nodded: "This is good. The human race brought chaos immediately after coming to my Snow Region. If we stay, we don't know what will happen. It's not a bad thing to leave early now."
Ye Han was slightly startled, somewhat confused: "Aren't you very concerned about that human race?"
"I just admire them a little, but... they are just visitors after all. My royal brother also said that they will leave soon. It is better for the two races, humans and demons, to keep to themselves."
"You...you make me not know how to persuade you."
Ye Han always had a feeling that his imperial sister was going to be abducted by humans, and this time he came to explain it to her.
Although the demon race and the human race can still coexist peacefully according to the current situation, if the core issues concerning Kyushu cannot be resolved, future wars will definitely be inevitable.
How could a demon princess, the eldest daughter of a legitimate family, fall in love with a human?
But he didn't expect that his royal sister would be so indifferent about the human race's impending departure from the Snow Region, as if it had nothing to do with her, which made him confused.
Princess Fengyang noticed Ye Han's expression and after thinking for a long time, she said thoughtfully: "Brother, do you think I like him?"
Ye Han came back to his senses: "You changed your clothes specially to see him and got up early for him, didn't you?"
"They all said that they just admired him. They felt that he was very brave and resourceful, so they were very curious about him. But it was not what my brother thought."
Feng Yang murmured, not feeling that he was telling a lie.
She didn't want a war between humans and demons, but she had heard so many stories about Kyushu since she was a child, so curiosity was inevitable.
On the day when the human delegation arrived, she went to greet them out of curiosity. Later, because of her identity as a doctor and her encounter with the human named Ji You many times, her curiosity shifted to him.
Then came the night of the attack. She admired his meticulous thinking and bravery in killing Shu He.
But the demon race and the human race are not the same race. As a demon princess, she would not like a human man even if she considered her status.
Even though she showed him her tail, it was through her clothes… Ye Han blinked after hearing this and thought to himself, I didn’t expect this, so she felt relieved.
Then, the sun began to rise slowly and the cold fog gradually dissipated.
A demon minister came from the Demon Emperor's Palace, and then hurried into the Spirit Garden, bringing the Demon Emperor's oral order, saying that he would summon the human delegation again.
So the human race went to the Demon Emperor's palace to pay homage and stayed in the palace until noon.
After having their meal in the Imperial Palace, they hurried back to the Spiritual Garden and began packing their bags.
ended……
After traveling from Hantie Pass to the wilderness and then to the snowy region, and after going through countless storms, the matter was finally over.
The demon king has just spoken and promised not to form an alliance with the barbarians.
Just as Ji You said, people at the level of the Demon Emperor are concerned about the world and the rise and fall of their race. They have an extremely high status, and what they see and feel are not something that ordinary people can understand.
The sudden actions of the Scale and Fang tribes were just a matter of course. The Demon Emperor chose not to fight, so there must be other reasons.
But this matter has nothing to do with them. All they want is a result without fighting. With this result, the mission of this trip will be completed.
Outside of Kyushu, there are troubled places everywhere. Even if things are peaceful now, no one will forget the attack that night.
So for them, the longer they stay here, the greater the risk, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.
In fact, ever since they left Hantie Pass, they have been eager to go home.
At this time, Ji You sat in the carriage, with his hands hanging by his sides, looking at the vast white snow.
The peace between humans and demons is only temporary. One day, the flames of war may reignite...
At this time, Ye Han had already left the Princess's Mansion and came to the Demon Emperor's Palace, looking at the great Demon Emperor on the throne.
He also learned about the Demon Emperor's decision and that the human delegation was leaving. He was still a little confused, so he wanted to ask.
At this time, the Demon Emperor was holding a scroll in his hand, and in the scroll was a huge map of the demon clan's snowy area.
After the end of the ancient war, the demon tribe migrated here from south to north. At the beginning, their living area was only a small area under the Twin Snow Peaks.
At that time, there were actually only a few thousand remaining members of the demon clan.
Later, after thousands of years of development and recuperation, they learned to dig for food in the snow, learned to fish in the frozen East China Sea, dug snow-capped mountains, cleared snow valleys, and their lives gradually became stable, leading to the current situation.
But the Demon Emperor clan has never forgotten the important mission left by their ancestors since ancient times, which is to bring their people back to Jiuzhou.
Ye Han bowed and said, "Father, did you never intend to go to war with the human race from the beginning?"
The Demon Emperor's eyes swept over the scroll. After reading it for a long time, he closed it and looked up at Ye Han: "You are right. I really didn't think of going to war with the human race at this time."
"If that's the case, why did you meet with the barbarian envoys before?"
"Because the demon race does not belong to me alone, it belongs to all demon races."
The Demon Emperor raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "After the incident at Qiling, the ministers in the court began to have the idea of returning to Jiuzhou, and it became more and more intense. I cannot suppress it by force, because sometimes the will of the people cannot be suppressed even by the will of the monarch. So if I don't want to start a war, someone needs to make a mistake."
Ye Han was extremely confused: "Why on earth is Father unwilling to go to war? Are we really going to give up Jiuzhou?"
"Give up? No, it's just that the time has not come yet."
"The destiny of the human race has already gone wrong. I don't understand what opportunity we should wait for."
"I have said before that the broken Heavenly Dao should collapse on its own, and the new Heavenly Dao should come into being after selecting the sages, and then it will bring down the tribe's luck and start the holy war. But now I only see a dead and gloomy place, and I still can't see where the new luck will land."
Ye Han frowned after hearing this: "Could it be that the Qi Ling incident was a misunderstanding?"
The Demon Emperor shook his head: "No, that was the beginning. It means that something must have gone wrong with the human race. The way of heaven has been corrupted from the inside out, but for some reason it has not collapsed. However, the more it is at a time like this, the more we cannot be impatient, because we have no way of knowing whether there is another conspiracy."
"Another conspiracy...?"
"Just like what happened in Qiling, the human race who wanted to seek immortal fate ended up becoming someone else's immortal fate. This is a conspiracy in itself. There is an old saying in the human race, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind', which means this."
Ye Han raised his eyes when he heard the voice: "Then we just wait and do nothing?"
The Demon Emperor looked at him and said, "What's wrong with waiting?"
Ye Han clenched his fists: "Waiting will make you fall behind."
The Demon Emperor chuckled after hearing his words: "You don't understand history, so you say such nonsense. Don't forget that we were the first to raise troops against the survivors, but what happened in the end?"
Ye Han was stunned for a moment, then he spoke: "In the end, all the luck belonged to the human race, and my race could only be trapped in the snowy area without seeing the sunny day."
"Yes, most of my demon clan was killed or injured back then, and the people were resentful. I was unable to defend justice, and ended up making things difficult for the human race. So, rushing to the front is never the best way. This is why I have been hesitating. My demon clan can't stand another turmoil."
"Then how long do we have to wait?"
"Wait another two years."
A trace of confusion appeared on Ye Han's face: "Why is it two years?"
The Demon Emperor suddenly stood up, stepped down from the throne, and walked out of the palace: "Because in two years, the old man in the Heavenly Academy will run out of life."
Ye Han opened his eyes wide in shock: "The dean of Tianshu Academy is going to die?"
"It will be soon. I think it's not just me. There are many people waiting for him to die or ascend. This old guy has been obscuring the way of heaven for many years, causing chaos in all the ways. But before his lifespan runs out, he will have to choose to ascend or die. Then I will be able to see everything clearly."
The headmaster of Tianshu Academy is over 350 years old and has been in the fairyland for a hundred years.
But during the past hundred years, he has never tried to ascend to the fairyland. In fact, there are many speculations about this matter, whether among the human race, the demon race, or the barbarian race.
But only people like the Demon Emperor knew that not only did he fail to ascend, he also obscured the way of heaven.
But life will eventually end. In the eyes of the Demon Emperor, what is the big deal about just two years? It is better to see everything clearly by then than to blindly rush into this heavenly game.
"Father, how strong is the headmaster of the Heavenly Academy?"
The Demon Emperor turned and looked at him: "The strongest in the world."
Ye Han was silent for a long time, then he cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
"Shuhe is dead?"
"Dead, killed by a man named Ji You."
The Demon Emperor turned around after hearing this and asked: "The one with seven swords?"
Ye Han was a little surprised: "How could a country boy who is a private cultivator in the Tongxuan realm be remembered by my father?"
"There aren't many interesting people like him. He fought the barbarians hand-to-hand, killed the King of Soldiers with a sword, and was able to kill Shuhe. I'm curious about where his heritage comes from."
"It is said that he was practicing privately in the countryside. Because life was too difficult, he kept practicing randomly."
The Demon Emperor was silent for a long time before waving his hands: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Where's Feng Yang?"
Ye Han thought of his sister: "Feng Yang should be doing free clinic."
"Go find a craftsman to repair the damaged Jade Garden."
"Yes, Father."
Ye Han bowed and then left the palace. He first found a group of craftsmen to repair the Jade Garden, and then went to see his sister.
As if to prove that he did not like the man, Feng Yang did not go to see the human off when he left. Instead, he continued to provide free medical treatment with a normal look and did not have much reaction to the human's departure.
Ye Han came to her medical building at this time and sat opposite her: "Have you had lunch?"
Feng Yang shook his head: "Not yet."
"You have to eat well."
"Got it. Wait until I finish seeing this patient."
Ye Han looked at her calm eyes and felt that he seemed to be thinking too much and really misunderstood his sister's thoughts.
My sister has heard so many things about Kyushu since she was a child, so it is inevitable that she is curious about the human race. I am just too nervous.
Afterwards, Yuyuan began to repair its structure. The main hall, side halls and corridors that were destroyed by the monsters of the Linya and Ya tribes had to be rebuilt. Only the west courtyard was not greatly affected.
Ye Han had nothing to do, so he often came to keep an eye on the progress of the project. However, one time he saw the figure of the imperial sister appearing around, which made him a little confused.
The princess's residence and the clinic are both on the south side of Dengfeng Avenue, not in the same direction as Yuyuan. Normally, the imperial sister never comes here.
But he didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking that she was just wandering around here until the next day.
The renovation work in Yu Garden was progressing very quickly, and the pavilions and towers were gradually returning to their original appearance. Ye Han came here to check the restoration of the main hall, but he saw his sister as soon as he entered the door.
She was wrapped in a cotton robe, sitting quietly in the yard, her red lips slightly parted, as if she was staring at the second floor in a daze.
Ye Han was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his sister came here again, so he called a craftsman and asked, "Why is the princess here?"
"Your Highness, the princess has been coming here every day since the day before yesterday. She sits in a room on the second floor for half a day. Sometimes she even walks around the west courtyard for a long time, as if she is checking the sword marks on the doors and windows."
"?"
Ye Han's face suddenly became serious: "Which room? Show me."
The craftsman raised his hand upon hearing the voice, and after pointing his finger at the second floor for a while, he stopped and said, "That's the room."
"broken."
"It's not broken, it's just been repaired."
Ye Han glanced at him and thought to himself, you know nothing, then he turned his gaze to the dazed back of the imperial sister and couldn't help but clench his fists.
The good news is that the person was not kidnapped, but the bad news is that the soul seems to have been kidnapped...
The royal craftsman had no idea what the prince was thinking. He packed up his things and took a few people with him to the treasure house of the Demon Emperor's Palace.
No one knows who actually made a mark outside the treasure house door, just to give them trouble.
(The car has been repaired. I am going to pick it up and ask for a monthly pass.)
