Chapter 427 Her Extraordinariness
After obtaining the dragon-patterned jade, the old emperor fell on the dragon bed with his eyes closed.
In her hand, she tightly grasped the jade pendant.
'Why doesn't he speak? Is he dead? '
Xu Shiyun pursed her lips tightly, lowered her head tightly, and clenched Rong Che's hand, squeezing it so hard that it hurt and she almost laughed out loud.
After a long while, the old emperor let out a faint sigh.
"This dragon-patterned jade is a treasure that has been passed down in the Southern Kingdom for thousands of years. It was passed down by our ancestors..."
"The ancestors once said that the one who can open the dragon-patterned jade will be the supreme king of the Southern Kingdom. He will be above all the royal family members! He will lead the Southern Kingdom to the peak, and even the God Realm will bow to the Southern Kingdom."
"I originally thought that this person would be..." It would be Nan Zhiyi.
Now, he doesn't even want to mention this name.
"Ancestor, please show me a clear way." The old emperor sighed, where is the salvation of the South?
Snap...
The calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall suddenly fell down...
Landed at Lu Chaochao's feet.
The palace maid immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
The old emperor waved his hand and the guards dragged the palace maid away.
"National Master..."
"You should set off immediately and head northwest. Travel with General Lou and make sure to bring back the elves." He paused for a moment after saying this.
"Whatever it takes."
The Imperial Master nodded slightly: "Yes."
The old emperor's health could not wait any longer, so he ordered the imperial teacher to set off immediately.
After the emperor finished speaking, he felt drowsy and raised his hand to summon Lord Jianggu to see him.
Lu Chaochao followed the crowd out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, Xu Shiyun's face turned cold: "Men are all heartless and ungrateful!"
Rong Che saw that she was in a bad mood and didn't dare to offend her.
She just pinched her throat and pinched her fingers and said: "You don't have to treat me as a man. We can be sisters."
Xu Shiyun glared at him in reproach.
"You are poor."
Rong Che felt somewhat satisfied when he saw the faint smile on her face.
Humph, his father, the Duke of Zhenguo, has something to say.
What's the matter with a man's face?
If you can't even please your own wife, you are hopeless!
When everyone returned to the Ning family, there were already three carriages parked in front of the door, and Old Madam Ning was directing everyone to move things.
The itinerary was planned early.
I have to go to the archway of Taoyuan Village to get Ning’s things.
"Take my dog...oh, send that chattering bird back to the Ming family!" It's annoying. His Xuanniao ancestor is such a big eater.
Lu Chaochao doesn't want to raise it anymore.
Xie Yuzhou was holding Zhuifeng with a proud look on his face.
Old Mrs. Ning has gradually been able to put away her crutches and walk on her own.
After everyone had packed up, they climbed into the carriage and set off.
When we arrived at the city gate, Zhu Mo was waiting in front of the gate wearing a large flowered jacket.
A group of soldiers were bowing and nodding to see him off respectfully.
Outside the city gate, General Lou was assembling his soldiers.
"Hey, it's the old emperor who went out to look for the elven army. The direction they're going is the same as ours..." Lu Chaochao lay beside the carriage, his face full of curiosity.
"I just hope the elves won't be found by them."
"The old emperor has one foot in the coffin, reeks of old age, and yet he wants to harm the elf girls." Rong Che frowned with disdain.
Xie Jingxi was riding a horse. He had read many ancient books in the Beizhao Library.
Among them is the involvement of the elves.
"Elves are born beautiful and kind, and are blessed by nature. They have a very long lifespan, and even animals like to be close to them."
"But they have a fatal flaw."
"God's favor has caused their clan to be coveted by the world, and they are always trying to capture them."
"This caused this clan to withdraw from the world and rarely appear."
"Moreover, this clan is born with a king."
"All elves, no matter how strong or weak, have great respect for the Elf King. They are loyal to their word and are willing to sacrifice their lives for the King."
"However, the king of the elves is very mysterious, and there is no news about him from the outside world."
"There are even rumors that the elves have been exterminated. I don't know if it's true or not."
Xie Jingxi led everyone to walk and stop.
General Lou and the Imperial Preceptor were anxious to find the elves to survive, so they traveled day and night and soon the gap between them widened.
Furthermore, Taoyuan Village is located in a remote area, and it takes a lot of time to cross the mountains and hills.
The further northwest you go, the more remote it becomes.
"We have parted ways with the national master. The main road taken by the national master goes further northwest. Let's start taking the small road..." Xie Jingxi took the map and studied it thoroughly early on.
"Yun'er, can you hold on? The road might be a bit bumpy." Rong Che asked worriedly.
Xu Shiyun looked at him with concern: "Take care of yourself first."
After becoming pregnant, Xu Shiyun was able to eat and sleep well, and even gained a little weight.
Rong Che was pregnant and anxious again.
Every day I have to hold the empty cradle and sing a lullaby twice before the baby can fall asleep.
Rong Che silently took out a sour apricot from his arms and put it into his mouth. Alas, what a miserable life.
Madam Ning was a quiet person, but as they moved away from the capital and headed northwest, the excitement in her eyes became more obvious. The conversation gradually increased.
"Taoyuan Village is an extremely remote village. There is only one word to describe our place: poor." The old lady was a little shy.
"These continuous high mountains have blocked the villagers' footsteps. Many people will never be able to leave the mountains in their entire lives."
"There are several villages around Taoyuan Village. They hold a market every half month, which is quite lively."
Old Madam Ning was approaching Taoyuan Village, walking on the familiar land, her eyes shining.
At night, everyone never stopped.
"As long as we climb over this mountain, Taoyuan Village is on the other side of the mountain."
"Roar..." A very penetrating roar was heard, startling the birds flying in the forest.
Rong Che suddenly raised his sword and jumped on his horse.
"It's a tiger's roar!" He looked around vigilantly.
I heard some rustling sounds in the forest, as if there was some ferocious beast hiding in the forest.
"Ahhhhh..." Wolf howls came from all directions.
The guards drew their swords and protected them in the center of the carriage.
night.
All around, green eyes were staring at them eagerly.
"Oh no, it's a pack of wolves!" Xie Jingxi's face changed drastically. What frightened him even more was that something seemed to be rushing down from the distant mountains, making countless noises.
"A tiger has descended from the mountain and we are surrounded by wolves. Our luck is not very good today!" Xie Jingxi's eyelids were twitching.
Madam Ning pursed her lips, opened the curtain, and was about to get out of the car.
"Mom!" Xu Shiyun hurriedly pulled her.
The old lady patted the back of her hand soothingly and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll be back soon."
At this moment, the archers were in position, aiming at the surrounding wolves.
"Madam, please go back soon!" When Xie Jingxi saw her get off the carriage, he was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The old lady shook her head: "Let me try."
"They... maybe, they are here to find me." She sounded uncertain. She hadn't been back here for many years.
Over the years, she has been searching for her daughter and escaping.
Xie Jingxi didn't agree with it. How could a beast like this, which grew up in the mountains, recognize a human?
The guards remained on alert.
The old lady stepped forward and stopped seven steps away from the wolf pack.
She squatted down so that her eyes were level with the wolf king.
She stared at the wolf king with burning eyes for a long time before she shouted in a trembling voice, "Is it you? Are you here to take me home?"
She slowly stretched out her hand.
Xie Jingxi and others were so nervous that their hearts were in their throats.
She watched helplessly as the green-eyed wolves approached Madam Ning.
In front of her...
He lowered his head and placed it under her palm.
