Chapter 599 You Transformed into the Queen Mother
Hawkeye does not participate in the battle, but is only responsible for observing the situation and reporting to the rear in a timely manner.
When he caught the person, Tianbao's eyes were cold.
Those who were coming for them were not ordinary bandits roaming the desert.
There are pathfinders and eagle eyes, and the opponent is extremely organized.
If her guess was correct, these people must be related to the one who took her godfather away.
"Tianbao, this is all settled!"
Bai Yu's voice came from the other side. The fight started and ended in the time it took to drink a few sips of tea.
Tianbao pursed his lips and threw Hawkeye to the open space in the middle, looking unhappy.
After the man fell over, there was no movement and he lay there motionless.
"He committed suicide." She walked over to Hawkeye's body, leaned over and pulled a flare from his hand. "He wanted to set off a flare before he died, but I blocked it and he didn't get to it."
After saying that, she released the flare that Hawkeye had failed to launch before his death.
With a sharp whoosh, dazzling fireworks exploded in the night sky and scattered everywhere.
Yang Zhi climbed out from under the little black donkey's belly with his hands and feet together, his expression still in a trance, full of confusion, "Miss Tianbao, why are you helping them set off flares...?!"
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Are you feeling that you didn't have enough fun just now, so you want to recruit more people to come over and have some fun?
The old man couldn't stand others questioning his granddaughter. He immediately put his hands on his hips and said, "What do you know? Tianbao must have a reason for doing this! My granddaughter is so smart!"
Xiao Mi Sui wrapped the whip and put it back on his waist. "We came here to look for someone, and someone came to us on their own initiative, which means we found the right path. But they all died at once, and the clues we just found were cut off again. Only by sending out flares can we alert the snakes hiding in the dark and make them continue to attack. When they attack, we will have a direction."
Yang Zhi's eyes were full of circles, and he was confused. Finally, he reached out to wipe his face and gave up.
Why does he need to know all this? He is just a guide, leading the way, that's all.
"Uncle Yang." The male sponsor in white clothes and with a sharp tongue suddenly spoke, which made Yang Zhi shudder and look over warily.
The other party smiled and said, "You have been in this place for more than ten years and have seen a lot. Come and look at these dead people. Maybe you can tell where they came from, for example, which tribe they belonged to?"
Yang Zhi wiped his face again, walked over stiffly, lit a stick of fire and looked at the dead bodies one by one, "Gentlemen, my reward is one hundred taels of gold, is that correct?"
He wanted to make sure the amount was attractive enough so that he wouldn't get carried away and quit.
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "One hundred taels of gold, that's right. Also, if Uncle Yang can help us with anything else along the way, the reward will continue to increase depending on the level of assistance, with no upper limit."
“How much will you add this time?”
"Ten taels of gold."
"You just arrived in Wujin City yesterday. If these people were coming for you, they'd have only had one day to prepare and then ambush you from the moment you showed up in Wujin City. With that day as the axis, these people must have come from Sunset City at most, no further, unless they had already planned this operation before you arrived. And that flare, the maximum range is only one city! We'll know if I'm right after a few tests in Sunset City! As for the nomadic tribes between the two cities, you can forget about them. They don't have anyone with such skills. Even if they do, each tribe would only have two or three such experts at most, no more! ... Did I add the money?"
Su Wu chuckled and doubled over, "I added it!"
"Hey! It's really not easy to earn your money, hahaha!" Yang Zhi said this with a smile on his face. The disgusting and creepy feeling of seeing so many dead bodies was completely dispelled by the ten taels of gold.
Ten taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver!
This extra payment alone is enough to feed his family for three to four years!
value!
…
The capital of the Human Kingdom is located in the west of the desert, built on an oasis with lush grassland and water.
The side hall at the north corner of the palace was heavily guarded, and the gate was locked with a thousand-man lock.
At night, the lanterns hanging under the corners of the palace light up, illuminating every inch of the front of the palace.
A figure walked in from outside the hall, wearing a red wind-proof cloak, and climbed up the stairs. After the maid opened the Qiangong lock, he raised his hand to send the person away, and then walked into the hall.
After walking around the partition screen, the scene of the inner hall appears before your eyes.
The man in the moon robe was lying on the couch, his snake eyes slightly closed, as if he was half asleep.
"You have been living in luxury since you were young, and you cannot stand rough and shabby things. Knowing you were coming, I ordered people to make this couch out of jade." The man walked lightly to the couch, sat down at the end, and took off the hood of his cloak, revealing the silver threads underneath.
Her hair is tied up with silver threads and adorned with gold hairpins and jades. Beneath that is a face that remains elegant even in old age.
This is an old woman in her seventies.
The most eye-catching thing is her eyes under her carefully drawn eyebrows, which are slender and look like snake eyes.
"Except for this couch, all the other items in the palace were carefully selected by me, and they are all exquisite." She raised her nail-dyed hands to straighten the slightly disheveled robe of the dozing man, sighing softly, "Are you still unwilling to talk to me, Feng'er? We haven't seen each other for over forty years, but I have never forgotten your preferences. What do you want in exchange for your forgiveness?"
Bai Xiaofeng's brows twitched slightly, and his eyes slowly opened. Under the light, his eyes were calm as he looked at the old woman in front of him, without showing any emotion.
He spoke lazily, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "Mother? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
The old woman's lips trembled, and she withdrew her hands and folded them on her knees. "I know you hate me, but I do have my own difficulties..."
"What was your reason? What was your reason that made you set fire to your body and fake your own death, then flee for decades? I thought you and Dad had died in that fire, but when I saw you again decades later, you'd transformed into a barbaric princess dowager?"
The sharp questioning left the old woman speechless and she was unable to speak for a long time.
She looked at the pair of eyes that looked very much like hers. When they looked at her, they were as indifferent as if they were looking at a stranger. There was clearly no hatred in them, yet they were full of hatred.
"I almost died in that fire back then. It was sheer luck that I survived. I wanted to go back and look for you, but by then my identity was already under suspicion. To avoid implicating you, I hardened my heart and returned to the tribe alone... The reasons are far too complicated. If you'd like to hear them, I'll explain them all."
"Why is your identity suspected? How are you going to explain this to me? Do you think I, Bai Xiaofeng, have built Wangque Tower for the past forty years simply to listen to gossip that has nothing to do with me?" Bai Xiaofeng chuckled softly, slowly sitting up, raising an eyebrow and smiling at the Royal Concubine. "Since you are the Royal Concubine, you should have a lot of information channels at your disposal. You must have investigated me, right? Why didn't anyone tell you that I investigated you as well?"
The old woman's expression suddenly changed, causing the man to laugh even more sarcastically.
This world is really ridiculous.
