Now is not the time to talk about this.
"Xiao Yu, what have you been doing outside these days? Tell me in detail."
Shang Muqin pulled Heng Yuxi to her side and asked her to sit down.
As if she didn't want Heng Yu to miss any details, her tone and expression were very serious.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became serious. Zhang Liang and Hengda did not speak and just sat aside silently.
“Mom... I didn’t do anything bad..." Heng Yu’s eyes looked a little helpless.
"I didn't say you did anything bad."
Seeing Heng Yu looking a little flustered, Shang Muqin realized that it was her tone that made her think she was blaming her.
So she changed the way she asked: "I'm just curious about what you've been going through outside these days."
After changing his tone, Hengxu's expression was obviously much more relaxed.
Perhaps because she didn't want Shang Muqin to worry too much, Heng Yu used a cheerful tone to narrate her experience of leaving home.
Half an hour later.
Heng Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, while Shang Muqin's face became uglier and gloomier.
When she heard that Heng Yu was holding the holy sword and parading in public on the street, Shang Muqin's face turned pale.
“This is bad…”
Seeing cold sweat on Shang Muqin's cheeks, Heng Yu asked worriedly:
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
After hearing Heng Yu's words, Shang Muqin did not answer her question directly, but asked nervously:
"How far is Labyrinth Town from the capital? Do you have a map?"
"If you are an experienced merchant, the journey would take four or five days by carriage. If you have a map..."
Heng Yu looked at Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang cooperated by taking out the map.
Shang Muqin took the teapot and teacups off the table, spread the map on top, and carefully drew a few strokes with his hand.
"Did you take the airship from Labyrinth Town to here? Did you stop anywhere or waste time in between?"
Hearing Shang Muqin's question, Heng Yu was confused, but Zhang Liang seemed to have realized the problem.
The Dragon Clan’s treasured holy sword, the Dragon Slaying Blade, the Dragon Clan princess, a half-blood Dragon Clan member, and human Hengda.
As we all know, the Tianlong clan attaches great importance to bloodline.
As a mixed-blood, it is impossible for Hengqi to obtain the holy sword through legitimate means.
Putting these elements together, Zhang Liang understood the general situation of the matter.
So Zhang Liang explained it to Shang Muqin in great detail.
According to Zhang Liang's instructions, Shang Muqin carefully calculated the time.
Now she had two hypotheticals in mind.
1. When Hengxu was parading, the people of the Tianlong tribe had already discovered Hengxu and the holy sword.
2. The Tianlong tribe only found out about the Hengqi parade a few days later.
There seems to be no difference between these two assumptions, but there is a gap of several days between them.
The matter of Hengxu and the Holy Sword will definitely reach the ears of my father or my younger brother, and they will definitely send someone to investigate Hengxu.
"Xiao Yu, when you filled out your application for admission, where did you write your place of residence?"
"It's right here, Connor Village..."
"It's over..."
At this point, Shang Muqin's face turned pale. Evergrande naturally knew what Shang Muqin meant, and his face also became extremely ugly.
"Let's look at the worst-case scenario and see how much time we have."
"Within two days."
Hearing Shang Muqin's answer, Evergrande showed a very shocked expression.
"Is it that short?"
"Ah."
As we all know, the Tianlong clan is the strongest race. Not only are they powerful, but they also have amazing endurance.
Especially the awakened Sky Dragons, they can maintain high-speed flight and can even go without sleep for three days and three nights.
Due to their small size and the fact that they do not carry any cargo, their flying speed is many times faster than that of airships.
"What on earth happened? I can't understand anything..." Heng Yu asked in confusion.
For Hengyu, it was normal that she didn't understand, because no one had ever mentioned these things to her.
Thinking that Heng Yuxi is getting old enough, it’s time to tell her those things.
So, Shang Muqin told Heng Yu about the Tianlong clan and the holy sword.
Half an hour later.
After listening to Shang Muqin's explanation, Heng Yu finally figured out his own life experience.
After knowing that he was a member of the royal family of the Tianlong clan, Heng Yu did not show any happy reaction, but instead looked serious.
"If that's the case, then our situation is very dangerous?"
"Ah."
This time, Hengyu understood quickly and figured out his situation immediately.
However···
Shang Muqin looked at Heng Yuxi, feeling somewhat guilty and asked her uneasily:
"Little girl, will you blame your mother?"
Shang Muqin lowered her head slightly, rubbing her skirt with her hands, and continued:
"If I hadn't run away from home, you wouldn't have to live the hard life you have now, but would be enjoying wealth and glory in the Dragon Palace..."
Every time Shang Muqin heard Heng Yu say, "I want to eat a little more," she felt very guilty.
If I don't leave, at least... she won't have to starve...
"No! As long as I can be with my mother, I don't need any wealth or glory!"
Heng Yuxi answered without hesitation, which instantly warmed Shang Muqin's heart and made her eyes wet. She couldn't help but hug Heng Yuxi.
After letting the mother and daughter hug for a while, Hengda asked Shang Muqin:
"Are we going to escape?"
Hearing this, Shang Muqin wiped the corners of his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
“It’s too late…”
Just like what I said just now, "It's over", it's too late to escape now.
Shang Muqin explained to everyone:
"There are only two ways to escape now..."
1. Escape by airship.
In two days, the only big city we can go to is the royal capital.
Except for the royal capital, there are only sparsely populated towns or villages, and it is impossible to hide in them now.
Moreover, the airship was so conspicuous that it was impossible to hide where it was going. It would be exposed if you just asked a passerby.
It would be too late to go to the royal capital because the Tianlong Clan would come from that direction and we would be hit directly.
2. Escape in a carriage.
This is even more impossible. The range of movement in two days, no matter in which direction, is only a small village like Connor Village.
It can't be hidden anymore.
Regardless of which escape method they choose, the people of the Tianlong tribe will definitely come to Connor Village.
It would be even worse if they found out that I was not there and took the villagers as hostages.
The village chief is Evergrande’s father, and the villagers are Evergrande’s good brothers.
Although some people had an unpleasant experience with Shang Muqin, other villagers were very friendly.
After more than ten years, there must be feelings.
Shang Muqin believed that her father would not do such a thing.
But my brother...
The Holy Sword is the key to his rebellion.
Made him wait for twenty years...
Now he will definitely do everything he can.
Shang Muqin and Evergrande knew very well how powerful the awakened Tianlong clan was.
There is no way to escape, and if you resist, there is no chance of winning.
"What should we do now? If we don't find a way to escape, both you and Hengyu will be captured..."
Seeing Evergrande's anxious eyes filled with tears, Zhang Liang used a resolute look and silently uttered a sentence:
"It doesn't matter, I will take action."
Section 1#Volume 3: Change of rank: Thanks from the author (November)
Hello, everyone~ It’s time for the monthly summary again.
This month, our book has exceeded 100 million words (^з^)-☆.
Before I started writing the book, I thought one million words was an unattainable number, and I always thought that I definitely couldn’t write that many words.
But what is the result?
As I was writing, I realized that 100 million words was not enough, and even 200 million words might not be enough.
The current progress is on volume 3.
The fourth volume is about the Magic Dynasty; the fifth volume is about the Demon Realm... the International Government; the Changbai Kingdom; the Fox Tribe; the Elf Tribe; the Sky Island; etc.
There are many more stories before and after.
Moreover, there are still many mysteries and settings in this world that have not been revealed.
for example···
Divine beasts like Su Su, are they friends or enemies, and whether they have signed contracts with other people.
Speaking of Su Su, many people said that she had too few roles as a divine beast, and this time she was directly thrown into the maze town.
Actually, considering the current progress, Su Su’s strength is too strong.
On the way back to the royal capital, the airship was attacked by a giant-beaked pterosaur. If Su Su was there, the other heroines would not have had a chance to show themselves.
If the heroine is deliberately allowed to perform, and Su Su finds a reason not to perform, or withdraws for some reason, this will also affect Su Su's character, and she may even be accused of forcing her intelligence.
So, I deliberately left her in Maze Town.
Of course, leaving her in Maze Town was also a carefully planned plan.
Later she will bring a prop to Zhang Liang, which is the key prop to be used in the Magic Dynasty chapter.
Zhang Liang will use it to resolve the crisis that Changbai is facing (capital encirclement: demon), and make the Queen of Changbai look at Zhang Liang differently.
Some people may ask, it is clearly the Magic Dynasty chapter, why did Zhang Liang go to Changbai.
In fact, I had already laid the groundwork in the previous chapters. There is a thing called the [Time-Stop Orb], which Qin Tianzhu mentioned.
