Chapter 1476 There is a Su schemer
Shen Luo sighed, and said: "I just don't want Qingqiu to become a victim because of other people's schemes."
Hearing this, Elder You Li's expression softened a little.
"Misu, you take them back to meet your grandma, and after she agrees, you can take them to meet the king." Elder Youli said.
"Okay." Mi Su responded.
After finishing speaking, she dragged Shen Luo and the two into the city gate quickly.
Elder You Li looked at their backs as they went away, his expression became more and more dignified.
The three of Shen Luo walked into the city and found that the houses in the city were all like a human city, but the style of the houses was a little different, there were a lot of round octagonal roofs, and the distribution was more random, without that kind of square plan.
However, because the terrain is not completely flat, there are differences in height between many houses, but it looks patchwork and has a special flavor.
"Mi Su, who is your grandma, she sounds very powerful?" Shen Luo asked.
Misu walked ahead and led the way, without turning his head, he said, "He is the Great Elder of our Qingqiu Fox Clan, do you think he is powerful?"
When Shen Luo heard the words, a name immediately popped up in his mind: "There is Su Mozhu".
"Is your grandma a Su schemer?" He couldn't help asking.
"Well, do you know my grandma?" Misu asked unexpectedly.
Shen Luo nodded, of course he knew that before coming to Qingqiu country, he also did some homework.
Master Yousu is the Great Elder of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. He is not only a high-level cultivator, but also a mid-Taiyi monk. He has also led the Qingqiu Fox Clan to defeat the plots of hostile forces many times. His prestige is extremely high, no less than that of the Lord Qingqiu.
However, it is rumored that this Great Elder concealed his identity in his early years, traveled the world, and made friends with human races, but was betrayed during a secret exploration process, and was seriously injured by a friend's surprise attack.
Later, she was lucky enough not to die, and after escaping from birth, she slaughtered the whole family of that friend, and was hunted down by human monks because of this.
It is precisely because of this experience that she has a deep prejudice against the human race, and she is also extremely wary, even hostile, towards the fairy race and the demon race.
Mi Su didn't know what was going on in Shen Luo's mind, and led the two of them to shuttle through the city, heading all the way to the highest area deep in the valley.
The area of King Qingqiu City is not large, and the palace only occupies a small area. The residences of the Great Elder and other important clan elders are also located near the palace.
Misu who returned to her home was very happy, and walked with a bit of jumping posture all the way, but when she really reached the gate, she became nervous again and hesitated.
"Why, you've only been away from home for so long, and you're feeling a little bit close to home?" Hu Bugui teased when he saw this.
"Timidity is timidity, but it's not Jinxiang, it's Grandma Jin who is timid. She treats me well on weekdays, but this time she secretly left Qingqiu and encountered such a big trouble, I'm afraid he can't let me go lightly. "Misu hesitated.
"It's okay, we'll be with you, she won't get angry in front of outsiders." Shen Luo smiled.
"Too."
After hearing this, Mi Su also felt that it made some sense, so he relaxed a little.
She took a deep breath, cheered herself up, and walked towards the door first.
Before she could reach the door, an old man with a bowed back came out. When he saw Misu, he was pleasantly surprised and said:
"Miss, are you back?"
"Uncle Qi." Mi Su called out immediately.
"Oh, you've come back. If you don't come back, the Great Elder will go to Chang'an City to ask for someone in person." Uncle Qi said hastily with a smile on his face.
After all, he also noticed the two people following Misu, and cast doubtful eyes on them.
"These two are Big Brother Shen and Big Brother Fox, they escorted me back. Big Brother Shen, Big Brother Fox, this is Uncle Qi, he is the one who took care of me when I was young." Mi Su hurriedly introduced them to each other.
When Shen Luo and Hu Bugui heard the words, they saluted the old man.
The latter frowned slightly, and after a little hesitation, he also returned their salute.
"Uncle Qi, where is my grandma, is she in the study?" Mi Su asked as she walked into the yard.
But I heard Uncle Qi say: "The great elder is not at home, he was invited to the palace early in the morning by the lord, and he probably won't be back until noon."
"Not at home?" Mi Su was taken aback.
"Then let's go directly to the palace." Shen Luo said immediately.
"Okay." Misu said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Uncle Qi frowned again, and looked at Shen Luo suspiciously.
He didn't understand what this man was doing, and why his young lady obeyed his words.
"Miss, why don't you wait for the elder to come back, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to take two outsiders to the palace rashly." Uncle Qi said after considering his words.
"It's okay, Uncle Qi." Mi Su said indifferently.
Shen Luo didn't explain anything to him, turned around and left.
After a while, the three of them came outside the palace again.
The royal palace of Qingqiu Kingdom is said to be a palace, but it is actually more like a large castle built on a mountain.
Outside the city gate, a group of three people were stopped again, this time with Misu's identity, they couldn't get in.
"I came from Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty to see the Lord Qingqiu." Shen Luo reported his identity, took out the token of the Tang government, and handed it over.
"People from the Datang government..." When a middle-aged guard in armor led by him saw the token in Shen Luo's hand, his eyes suddenly changed.
"Encircle."
When he gave an order, all the guards around immediately drew out their weapons and surrounded the three of them.
"What are you doing? We're here to meet the king, and I'm from the Qingqiu fox tribe." Seeing this, Mi Su yelled.
While speaking, she also let go of her mana, making her sharp ears more obvious, and the fox tail behind her also appeared.
"Hmph, are you also a traitor if you get involved with the thieves from the Datang government?" the middle-aged guard shouted angrily.
"My grandma is..."
Mi Su was so angry that his seven orifices smoked, and when he was about to reveal his identity, he was stopped by Shen Luo.
"Since you don't want to believe us, we are willing to let go, please take us to see the Lord Qingqiu." Shen Luo stretched out his hands and said.
Seeing that he really had no intention of resisting, the middle-aged guard took out a special ivy with suspicion, bound the hands of the three of them, and escorted them into the castle.
Passing through three courtyards all the way, everyone stopped outside a large hall with a circular vault.
After the middle-aged guard told others to be optimistic about the three of them, he went into the hall to pass the news.
After a while, he trotted over with a livid face, intending to untie the three of Shen Luo.
"Don't move, just tie it like this, it's fine."
Mi Su glared at him, then withdrew his hand abruptly, unwilling to let him untie, so he walked into the hall with Shen Luo.
Chapter 1477 Keepers
As soon as the three of Shen Luo entered the hall, there was the sound of gurgling water.
With a glance at Shen Luo, there was a passage about Zhang Xu wide in the middle of the main hall, with two semicircular pools on both sides, and there were two springs inside, bubbling water, filled with rich aura.
Passing through that passage, there is a vestibule behind, and then there is a golden throne slightly higher than the vestibule.
At this moment, sitting on the throne is a young woman in a snow-white robe. Her long snow-white hair is loose and she wears a unique crystal crown on her head. vulgar.
In front of the throne, there were still a few people standing. The leader among them was a woman in a black robe with blond hair. Two big fox ears stood up from her blond hair, holding a long silver staff in her hand. Full of indifference, without anger and prestige.
For some reason, when Shen Luo looked at it, he felt that this blond-haired black-robed woman was more majestic than the woman on the throne.
"I have met the king." The three of Shen Luo stepped forward and saluted in the direction of the throne.
"You don't need to be polite when you come from afar." The woman waved her hand and said calmly.
Its voice is ethereal, and it is like listening to fairy music.
After finishing speaking, she saw the green vines still tied around Misu's hands, and couldn't help but slightly frowned, looking at the middle-aged guard.
"Reporting to the lord, it's because she doesn't want to take it off..." The middle-aged guard immediately knelt down and said.
"I……"
Mi Su was about to file a complaint when she saw a stern look cast on her.
"Nonsense." The blond woman in black robe snorted, raised her hand, and opened the ivy in Misu's hand.
"Grandma..." Misu muttered softly.
Shen Luo's heart moved, and sure enough, the identity of the black-robed woman in front of her was not simple, but the rumored master Su.
Master Su glanced at her, ignored her, just looked at Shen Luo, and asked, "What's your business here?"
"Junior Shen Luo, he came here just to send Misu back safely, but when he got here, he wanted to ask the lord why he took action against Chang'an?" Shen Luo asked calmly.
"Are you here on behalf of the Tang government?" Qingqiu asked.
Shen Luo thought for a while, then shook his head.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter who he represents, the important thing is to figure out the conspiracy behind this matter.
"Why? I don't represent the Tang government, so I'm not qualified to hear an explanation from the lord of the country?" Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, then asked again.
"Shu Zi is so rude." Mr. Su narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Shen Daoyou misunderstood, it's not that I can't give you an explanation, but that our Qingqiu country doesn't know what's going on right now, so we can't explain it." The Lord Qingqiu sighed and said.
Shen Luo heard the words, his expression was a little relaxed, and he said slowly:
"To be honest, this junior also feels that there is something hidden behind this incident, but it is related to the friendship between the two countries. I still hope that the Lord Qingqiu can find out the truth as soon as possible and give Datang an explanation, so as not to cause worse effects."
"So, are you willing to believe that our Qingqiu Kingdom is innocent?" asked the Lord Qingqiu.
"The younger generation just thinks that this matter is suspicious, so I hope your country can investigate it clearly." Shen Luo said.
"There is no doubt about it. It is clear that the human race has been dissatisfied with our Qingqiu fox clan for a long time. This time, they just found an excuse to deal with us." A Qingqiu elder with a hooked nose twitched the corner of his mouth and said.
"If the human race really intends to take action against Qingqiu, why use Chang'an as a bait? It's a bit of a fuss, isn't it?" Even though Shen Luo had a good temper, he was a little angry when he heard such words one after another.
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of noise in the entire hall.
"Presumptuous! Little True Immortal early-stage cultivator, dare to speak wild words?" The hook-nosed cultivator was furious.
"Zhuzi is really rude..." Another person also echoed.
All of a sudden, various voices of accusation sounded in the hall one after another.
"Shut up." Suddenly, a loud shout sounded.
The Lord Qingqiu, who had always been gentle and gentle, finally got angry and said: "No matter what the truth is, we should investigate our own problems first. After all, Granny Qiu and the others directly participated in the second disaster."
As soon as these words came out, the hall finally fell silent.
The gazes of all the elders, whether obviously or implicitly, were all looking at Mr. Su, after all, Granny Qiu had always been regarded as the retainers of the Great Elder.
After a while of silence, Su Mouzhu suddenly said: "The lord's words are reasonable, but just in case, we still have to prevent the Tang Dynasty from using this to attack us, and the country should actively take precautions."
Shen Luo listened to it, and frowned.
What she said was undoubtedly saying that even if they really became stiff because of this, they would not be afraid to fight Datang.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, Qingqiu has absolutely no intention of being hostile to Datang. Since you also think this matter is suspicious, are you willing to stay in Qingqiu Kingdom and investigate the truth together, so as to return our innocence?" Su Mouzhu suddenly said .
At first glance, this statement was not a problem, but Shen Luo thought of another deep meaning.
"This junior came here mainly to escort Misu, and the rest didn't want to get involved. The reason why I said so much is that I don't want Qingqiu and Datang to meet each other. As for the investigation, this junior is not interested in participating." " Shen Luo said.
"Shen Daoyou, this statement is wrong, you..."
"Since Fellow Daoist Shen is unwilling to participate, the Great Elder can't force it either." Before Master Su could finish speaking, Lord Qingqiu interrupted him.
Shen Luo naturally understands the kindness in this.
It's inconvenient for Mr. Su to say anything after hearing the words.
"My lord, this junior has achieved the purpose of this trip, and I will send Miss Misu back safely, so I will take my leave first." Shen Luo clasped his fists and said.
"Aside from other things, it is a great kindness to me that Fellow Daoist Shen sent Misu back, and I will always stay as a guest for a few days, so that we can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." Su Mouzhu said.
"That's right, Big Brother Shen, just stay with our clan for a few more days and let me treat you well." Mi Su also said hastily.
"The kindness of the Great Elder, the younger generation appreciates it, but the younger generation still has important things to do, and needs to travel far away to Tianji City. Time is tight, so it is really inappropriate to stay any longer." Shen Luo said.
"No matter how anxious you are, don't be in a hurry for a while. Our business is business, and our personal friendship is personal. Since you have sent Misu back safely, you have done us a favor. Let us treat you anyway. "Master Yousu insisted.
