Chapter 608: Eagle City? Tracking down Nanping and Master!
Secret letter from the master?
Could it be a letter from Master?
Li Qingluo: "Brother, have you seen it? What did Master say?"
Xuan Cang said, "It's not a letter from Master."
"It's your second senior sister and sixth senior brother."
"Now, they are the only two of us in the sect who are still guarding Meteor Mountain with everyone else."
The Queen Mother of Wusun, Anar, first captured the four disciples of Meteor Sect.
Then he lured Nangong Di from Da Chu to Wusun Kingdom and set a trap carefully.
After capturing Nangong Di, Xuan Cang, who went with him, was sent away by Nangong Di, who asked him to go to Nan'an to find his junior sister Li Qingluo and ask her for something that could help him escape.
That is the portrait of Zong Zheng Qingyue.
Li Qingluo also heard Xuan Cang talk about his master along the way.
Now I know that this sect is the sect founded by the Nangong family nearly a hundred years ago.
Grandmaster, that is, Nangong Di’s great-great-great-grandfather.
Originally, he was just a bodyguard in the underworld.
Later, because of his chivalrous behavior, he got into trouble and was forced by his enemies to hide in Meteor Mountain.
He hid for more than ten years and took in a group of homeless vagrants when he had nothing to do.
Later, a group of people settled down in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, the imperial court treated them as bandits.
Just as they were about to be wiped out, the master suddenly jumped out and shouted that they had only founded a sect and had not done anything against the law.
He also promised to protect all the villagers living at the foot of Meteor Mountain.
The villagers also testified that these gangsters had never done anything bad, so the court finally refrained from taking any major action.
In the end, they did what they said and the sect was actually established.
Originally, he just wanted to escape from the world, but in the end he managed to expand his sect and actually did it in a proper manner.
There were even orphaned boys from the mountain who came here to become his disciples.
The most amazing thing is that the master also created the Meteor School's world-famous martial arts - the Meteor Sword.
Now, by Nangong Di's generation, the sect already has seven elders and nearly a hundred disciples in the mountains.
There are nine direct disciples of Sect Leader Guang, including Li Qingluo!
It was at this time that Li Qingluo realized that the Meteor Sect was not really a small sect.
There are now four fellow disciples who were captured by the Queen Mother of Wusun along with Nangong Di.
A Xuan Cang is now with Li Qingluo.
There are two more guarding the house on the mountain.
So, is there another senior brother or sister?
Besides, aren't there still seven elders? Why are there only two brothers and sisters guarding the mountain with other disciples?
Xuan Cang didn't say anything.
Li Qingluo didn't ask.
Xuan Cang opened the letter in front of Li Qingluo and read it quickly, then frowned with a hint of anger.
"Your Second Senior Sister and Sixth Senior Brother have locked the mountain gate. They have already gone down the mountain with more than 20 inner disciples and are on their way to Eagle City."
Li Qingluo: "Did they also go to the Western Regions? Did they enter the Western Regions through some other route?"
Xuan Cang: "There is a river in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, which can indeed lead to the Western Regions."
"It's just that the road is extremely difficult to travel, and it's very far away from Mantuo City, so ordinary people don't go in that direction."
"These two disobeyed orders and dared to go down the mountain without permission. If Master and his men return and find the sect empty, this matter will be troublesome!"
Li Qingluo stared at Xuan Cang.
Xuan Cang changed the subject: "We have to go to Eagle City and find them as soon as possible to prevent them from causing any more trouble."
Li Qingluo: "Brother, please be patient. Second Senior Sister and Sixth Senior Brother may just be eager to save people, so they can't wait to go to Eagle City to meet you."
"When there are more people, maybe it will be much easier for us to rescue Master."
Xuan Cang then nodded, "Junior Sister, you are right."
"By the way, when can we set off?"
Li Qingluo: "I just got the news. I can leave tomorrow."
The next day, a wedding procession quietly and mysteriously set out from Mantuo City, braving the scorching sun and the vast expanse of yellow sand as they swiftly advanced towards the Western Regions...
With the document stamped with the seal of the Lord of Mantuo City, although the people in the Western Regions were extremely shocked, they did not dare to hesitate or delay because it concerned Mantuo City.
After careful consideration, the official guarding the border quickly wrote a letter and pretended to let him pass.
"Since Mantuo City is willing to join us in the Western Regions, we naturally welcome it."
"Anyway, we've already let in a princess from Daliang. Why should we be afraid of a princess from Mantuo City?"
The official spoke tentatively across the gorgeous carriage while observing the expressions on the faces of everyone in the wedding procession.
Seeing their angry expressions, the officials felt relieved.
If you are too calm and composed, it may be a sign of deception.
People like this who can't hold back their anger obviously have something happened in Mantuo City, so they are anxious to find a backer.
The official couldn't help but sneer: "How come I've never heard of this? What kind of princess does your Mantuo City have?"
"Isn't this city lord young and promising? He hasn't even settled his marriage yet, yet he already has a princess?"
"Are you guys plotting something?"
The princess's faint voice came from the carriage: "I am the city lord's biological sister, Princess Luoluo."
"She has been kept in the family's inner chamber and has never been seen by the world."
"Just like you useless people still don't know my brother's background, it's no wonder you've never heard of my name."
"If my brother hadn't encountered difficulties, he wouldn't have let my biological sister marry into your Western Regions and ask for peace between Mantuo City and your Western Regions."
"Although my brother has just sent a letter to your imperial city, your royal family will soon send someone to pick me up!"
"Since you already know the reason behind this, why don't you just let him go?!"
"You've delayed my schedule and the auspicious date, and delayed the peace between Mantuo City and the Western Regions. Can you bear the consequences?"
Li Qingluo's aura frightened the officials, and they had no choice but to release the man into custody in a hurry.
However, to be cautious, the official sent someone to follow them secretly.
The news that Mantuo City was seeking peace and offering to marry its princess to the Western Regions quickly spread to the thirteen countries in the Western Regions.
This incident shocked the thirteen countries in the Western Regions even more than Daliang sending a princess as a marriage partner.
There are thirteen countries in the Western Regions, and all of these thirteen countries obey the orders of the imperial court of Hala City.
The tribes in the Western Regions were closely connected, united and helped each other, and had strong military forces, so they had always been a very powerful hostile country to Daliang and Da Chu.
For many years, the Western Regions’ ambition to attack the Central Plains has never stopped.
In the past two years, there have been frequent actions and frictions.
They had already successfully killed Prince Su of Daliang and captured Mantuo City in one fell swoop. As long as they continued to attack the heartland of Daliang, taking over the Central Plains would be just around the corner.
Unfortunately, the emergence of the Lanhai Kingdom blocked the Western Regions' southward advance.
The Western Regions were going crazy.
So he turned around like crazy and tried to tear open a gap in Da Chu, preparing to encircle and suppress Mantuo City.
However, the city of Mantuo, which had been difficult to capture for a long time, would actually take the initiative to send its princess for marriage?
The sudden emergence of the Lanhai Kingdom is so mysterious that it leaves everyone baffled.
A sudden marriage, is this some new trick?
Or, the Lord of Mantuo City finally realized that he was about to be completely isolated and surrounded by the Western Regions?
When people in the Western Regions thought of this possibility, they became a little arrogant and proud.
No one knows what tricks this Mantuo City is playing.
Anyway, I heard that the wedding procession consisted of no more than thirty people.
When the Western Regions' imperial court heard about this shabby scene, everyone burst into laughter.
Naturally, no one really took Li Qingluo and his group seriously.
Even the Western Regions Imperial Court no longer took Mantuo City seriously.
They were just waiting for Mantuo City to come and submit to their Western Regions...
After Li Qingluo and his group passed through Ruguan Mountain, they killed all the people who followed them at nightfall.
Then he hid the body and ran forward.
As they crossed the loess and Gobi Desert, they abandoned their gorgeous carriages and dumped the fake jewels in the boxes into the river.
Then they put on their saddles and started galloping.
Across the grassland.
I have seen the Milky Way starry sky.
Slept on a hillside where the wind never stopped blowing.
After a long journey of more than 20 days, we finally arrived in Eagle City.
When Li Qingluo came out of the tent, sand was blown all over his face.
The Eagle City is located in a desert.
Li Qingluo and his companions had arranged a local contact before entering the desert, who brought them safely into Eagle City.
Today is the third day since she arrived in Eagle City.
However, there was no news of Master and Nanping all of a sudden.
This made Li Qingluo feel a little anxious.
Even though she rode as fast as she could, it still took more than two months to get here from Nan'an.
Only when you go out do you realize how vast the world is.
Only after seeing the mountains and rivers along the way did I realize that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
The Western Regions were even more vast and diverse than she had imagined.
In just over two months, anything could happen.
She was worried about both Nanping and her master.
So, today I don’t want to wait any longer and plan to go out and check it out myself.
Brushing away the dust on her face, Li Qingluo pulled up the veil on her head to completely cover her face.
Since they crossed the border and arrived at the Western Regions, in order not to attract attention, they all changed into Western Regions clothing.
He avoided crowds along the way, and even now that he had arrived in Eagle City, he was staying in a remote tent.
It didn't attract much attention from others.
"Young Master, this way."
The man guarding the door was the informant they had met before entering the desert.
He is also the head manager of Tianfeng Trading Company in the Western Regions.
His name is Batur, a middle-aged man in his forties.
He knew Eagle City very well, and it was he who led Li Qingluo and the others across the desert smoothly and helped them avoid a sandstorm disaster.
Now, Batur is going to take them to meet a local tyrant in Eagle City.
It is said that the local tyrant might know the news that Daliang is coming to marry the princess.
So Li Qingluo planned to meet the local tyrant in person, preferably to get the information as soon as possible.
The group arrived at a large house.
As soon as you enter, you will see a variety of fruits and vegetables soaking in water tanks.
There is a water shortage in Yingcheng. In order to drink water, many people in the city have to queue up at the well outside the city for a whole day to get a bucket of water for the whole family.
However, this local tyrant used water indiscriminately to water the flowers, soak the fruits and vegetables, and even poured water on the floor to wash away the sand and gravel blown on the floor.
Li Qingluo frowned deeply.
Follow through the exotic garden and come to the back house.
"Master Yalikun, the young master is here."
The servant put one hand on his chest and reported inside.
After a while, the beautiful maid came out barefoot and said, "Please take off your weapons, and only one person can follow you inside."
Zhuiyu and Shayi both hurried forward.
"Girl, bring your subordinates!"
Li Qingluo pointed to Batur standing beside him and said, "Come in with me."
