Chapter 412 (1/2)
Li Qiang said with a smile: ”don't worry. I've considered all your worries. You must have seen that Gongsun girl's ability. Her magic can just restrain Kong Rui. Therefore, even if Kong Rui has any other intention, he can't escape gongsunyue's control. Do you understand?”
Kong Xuan said in relief: ”it turns out that the king has been prepared, and that minister is relieved.” The emperor and his ministers laughed and went back to the cave entrance. Everyone had already been waiting there. Li Qiang gave an order and everyone got on the mount. Only Kong Rui stood there. Li Qiang waved: ”you come up, I'll take you.”
Kong Rui said: ”the spirit leopard is my mount. I hope the king will return it to me.” Li Qiang asked Kong Xuan, ”what about the spirit leopard?” Kong Xuan said: ”the leopard is ferocious. I have put it in my pocket. Since she wants to use it, I will release the leopard.” With a shudder of the skin, a huge spirit leopard appears in the local area and jumps in front of Kong Rui, which is very lively.
She patted the head of the spirit leopard, let it lie down, and then turned over on the leopard's back. She called out to go. The spirit leopard growled and jumped forward. One step was three feet away, only a few steps away. She had already left everyone behind.
Li Qiang said with a smile: ”this girl's spirit leopard is really a treasure. The modern walking tools are better than cars.” When they heard this, they were all in a daze. Bian Ling asked, ”what does the king mean by the car?” Li Qiang knew that he had made a mistake and said in a nutshell: ”the car is also a kind of ox cart, but it is called differently.”
Bian Ling was skeptical, and it was not easy to ask again. After talking and laughing, he returned to the camp. Kong Rui took out the healing elixir and ordered the bodyguard to take it with warm water. Sure enough, after the time of incense burning, the injured bodyguard could stand up, and the wound only left a scar.
Li Qiang said: ”the effect of this miraculous elixir is very good. It is so effective that it is better than Yunnan Baiyao.” They all turned to look at him, their eyes full of surprise. Li Qiang thought to himself, ”no, of course there is no Yunnan Baiyao in this era. Why did I make a mistake again? I don't know what's going on today. I always say something wrong.”
He was afraid that everyone would continue to ask, so he deliberately diverted the topic and said, ”by the way, since the injured person is all right, we'd better discuss quickly to find the woman in the painting.” He asked Kong Rui again: ”since you know that they are in this forest, have you ever known their specific location?”
Kong Ruiyou sighed: ”if I knew their exact location, why bother the king? I have already found them myself.” Gongsun Yue said, ”do you remember the scene I drew when I was divining? If there is nothing wrong with my divination, they must be in the place described in the painting
Li Qiang said: ”but I remember that the woman in the painting is in a courtyard. Outside the courtyard is a stream, but the surrounding environment is not a forest.” Gongsun Yue asked Kong Rui, ”do you know if there is any open space in this dangerous forest?”
Kong Rui said: ”yes, it is, but that place is far away, and it is deep in the forest. It is not easy to get there.” Li Qiang's curiosity was even more aroused by her saying: ”no matter how difficult it is, since we have decided to go there to find someone, we can't give up. Let's take a rest for a while and then set off immediately.”
Gongsun Yue said, ”there are many ghosts and demons in the forest. We must be well prepared before we can go.”
Kong Rui looked worried and said, ”let's not go there. It's too dangerous.” Li Qiang said with a smile, ”you used Bian Ling to force us to find the woman in the painting, but now how can you back down?” Kong Rui said: ”before, it was because we were hostile relations, but now we are all our own people. How can I hurt you because of my own personal interests?”
