C587 Elders decision (1/2)
”This lady's painting is very famous in the capital. ”Black nun, you really earned it.” Chen Qing said half-jokingly. Black Martial Aunt blinked her eyes, not caring at all.
She stared at the painting.
Mu Ru Yue closed her eyes as she recalled the princes she had seen before. She then drew their pictures one by one. The girl looked at them one by one. When she finished, she looked at Mu Ru Yue with dissatisfaction.
”What is it? ”No?” Mu Ru Yue had drawn many pictures, including the Fourth Prince, whom she had only seen twice. How could there not be?
As she thought, Mu Ru Yue took out the first portrait. ”This is the Seventh Marquis' Phoenix Seep.” He then continued to take something else, ”This is the current Crown Prince, Feng Qing. This is the current Sixth Prince, this is the Fifth Prince, and this is the Fourth Prince. And this person was the Third Prince.
These were all the royalty princes that could be seen in the capital. Lady, if the other party isn't a member of the Imperial Family, then … He had never appeared in the Imperial City. There were only these two possibilities.
I can vouch for that. ”
Mu Ru Yue said seriously. Originally, she did plan to deceive this girl. If she were to choose one, then she would say it was someone else. She didn't even know which side she was on.
However, unexpectedly, the other party was not on these paintings. This was truly puzzling.
”These princes do indeed look like dragons and phoenixes among men, but it's a pity that they're not mine.” The black dressed lady looked a little disappointed at Mu Ru Yue and said, ”Since you aren't sure who I am looking for, I can't give you the passage.”
”No, that passage. I've decided to let them use it.” Just when Black Aunt rejected Mu Ru Yue and the others, she suddenly heard the white-haired old man say.
”Elder!” Uncle Black was angry.
”Black Aunt, don't mess around. It was my decision. Even though you are a Holy Maiden, you should still listen to my advice. They have shown their sincerity, and I don't think they are simple people.
We don't have to cause any trouble for the stronghold. ”
”If we leave them here, they won't be found.” Black Aunt said with dissatisfaction.
”What nonsense. Do you really think that they won't be found? There are thousands of ways to find us in the next month's imperial court. ”You don't have to mess around anymore.” After saying that, the elder looked towards Mu Ru Yue and the others and said, ”Everyone, this passage cannot be used for the next few days. The strong wind in the valley would have to wait for at least three days before it could do so.
For these three days, I will have to invite you all to stay in this stronghold. Don't worry, this old man. I will definitely not do anything against the rules. I hope that everyone will believe me. ”
The old man's attitude was sincere. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
”What do you think?” White Mirrorjade looked at Murong Yue.
”What do I think? We don't have much choice, do we? We can't go build the bridge ourselves, can we? ” Mu Ru Yue said helplessly.
When the old man heard this, he chuckled, ”Even if the few of you are capable enough to build a bridge, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out.”
”What do you mean?” White Mirrorjade was puzzled.
The old man signaled for Black Aunt to open the door. Black Aunt smiled proudly and opened the door. What entered into everyone's eyes was the bustling and spacious plaza. The square was large enough to accommodate thousands of people, and it was surrounded by many memorial archways. There were many people watching outside, and some children were playing around. In the center of the square, there was a large tree.
But that was not the point.
The point is... Over here, the sky was filled with thick fog. Looking up, he could see the precipitous cliffs.
”This is the valley below us, and also the place where our people live. We can only come in here, but if you want to go out, you cannot go out without us.”
Without our guidance, you wouldn't even be able to enter at all. ”
Black Martial Aunt said with pride.
”If we are bad people, then miss, wouldn't it be you who took the initiative to lure the wolf into the house?” Mu Ru Yue asked coldly. Hearing this, Black Martial Aunt suddenly felt bad. Because of what Mu Ru Yue had said … It made sense.
Looking at Black Aunt's embarrassed expression, Mu Ru Yue chuckled. ”I'm just kidding. We aren't bad people.” As for the matter here, we will not speak of it. It would be good to stay in this ancient village like this.
However, there is one thing that I do not understand. ”
”Huh?”
Black Martial Aunt opened her mouth in a daze.
”I'm curious how you brought us down here.”
