Chapter 143 Special Envoy Yun Mi (1/2)
When Li Yan and others revealed their identities to the guards of the Taoist Mansion, they were taken to a courtyard.
"My lords, please wait a moment. I will inform the special envoy immediately."
The maid who led them to the drawing room bowed and left after saying this.
When Li Yan and the four sat down, the maid guarding the living room immediately brought them a plate of exquisite pastries and a cup of steamy hot tea.
Halfway through the cup of tea, the maid who went in before came out.
"Master Kong Tianyang Kong, the special envoy will let you go in alone. Other adults please wait here."
"Excuse me, who is Mr. Kong?"
The maid asked humbly and politely.
"It's me."
Kong Tianyang put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.
"Okay, Master Kong, please come with me."
After the maid made a gesture to ask her to leave, she took Kong Tianyang to the special envoy's room.
"Su Han, tell me, what will Master Kong talk to the special envoy? When can we go back?"
Meng Rou looked away from Kong Tianyang's leaving figure, and then asked Su Han who was sitting opposite.
"I don't know, but I think it won't be easy if we want to go back."
Li Yan thought for a while and replied.
"Oh, why is that?"
Chen Jian interjected and asked with some confusion.
"I wonder if you have noticed that when we revealed our identities to the guards guarding the gate of the Taoist Mansion, their attitude changed from businesslike to alienated, as if they didn't want to have anything to do with us."
"Moreover, as envoys from the royal city, we are only greeted by the maids beside the special envoy. The Taoist Master's Mansion did not send anyone to greet us. This is obviously unusual."
"This shows that something must have happened before we came that we didn't know about, which made them behave like this."
"And this matter will definitely not be good news for us."
"The reason why the special envoy is so anxious to summon envoys from all over the world to return to Nanshan City may also be related to this matter."
"That's why I said, we want to go back immediately, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
After Li Yan finished speaking, he drank the last cup of tea in his hand.
"Make me another cup of tea."
Li Yan ordered the maid serving beside him.
"Okay, my lord."
The maid carefully held the tea cup that Li Yan had just finished drinking and slowly stepped back.
"What should I do? I don't want to stay here any longer."
Meng Rou's tone was full of anxiety.
At this time, she was afraid that she was extremely regretful. Why couldn't she think about it and came to be this messenger?
"Calm down, there's no point in being anxious, and what I said is just my own inference, it may not be true."
"Perhaps, after Master Kong comes back, we can set off immediately towards the royal city?"
After Li Yan comforted him, he stopped talking.
He concentrated on tasting the tea that had just been served.
On the other side, Kong Tianyang, led by the maid, came to the special envoy's room.
"You go down."
"Yes, Sir Envoy."
Under the wave of the special envoy, the maid bowed and bowed to leave.
"Kong Tianyang, I didn't expect that you would be the first one to come back."
A pleasant voice came, and then a beautiful figure came to Kong Tianyang.
"No way, Special Envoy Yun, you are saying that I was the first to arrive. The distance between Linjiang County and Nanshan City is not the closest, not to mention that I took a lot of detours to avoid possible pursuit."
Kong Tianyang's brows couldn't help but frown.
"Am I still joking with you?"
Yun Mi's voice turned cold.
"I am in a hurry. I did not mean to offend the special envoy. Please forgive me for being presumptuous."
Kong Tianyang quickly begged for mercy.
"Okay, let's forget it this time. Be careful what you say next time. If it weren't for the time when you are employing people, I will definitely remember you."
Yun Mi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, returned to his seat, and looked down at the respectful Kong Tianyang below.
"Special Envoy Xie Yun is magnanimous."
After Kong Tianyang finished saying this, he couldn't help but secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"She is worthy of being called the Thorn and Blood Lotus of the Royal Capital. She is just like the legend. She does not allow outsiders to question her and has a moody personality."
Kong Tianyang's mind flashed through some news about Yun Mi that he had heard in the capital.
Yun Mi, a strong person in the Ningsha Realm, third on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking in front of the Royal Capital, fifth on the Beauty Ranking, from a first-class family in the Royal Capital, and the legitimate daughter of Yundingtian, the head of the Yun family.
I heard that she is only a little over forty years old this year. When she broke through to the Ningsha realm, she was not yet forty years old. She was a true beauty of heaven.
And it is precisely because she is so outstanding that no man can catch her eye, so she has remained single to this day.
I heard that her father, Yundingtian, the head of the Yun family, was so worried that his hair would turn gray because of this girl's marriage.
According to the gossip, the reason why this woman's temper is capricious has a lot to do with the fact that she is not nourished by a man.
Of course, such news can only be circulated privately. If this woman hears it, the king will probably be uneasy.
"The situation this time is more complicated. Let me tell you briefly."
Yun Mi, who was sitting in his seat, brushed his hair beside his ears and told Kong Tianyang the cause and effect of the whole incident.
"The beginning of the matter starts with Chenghua County in Erxian Prefecture."
"Shannan Road, a total of five continents, has 32 counties under its jurisdiction. Chenghua County in the Second Immortal State is the county farthest from Heifeng County."
"About ten days ago, the envoy of Chenghua County reported to me that one of its envoys was attacked and robbed by unknown persons."
"At that time, although I was surprised that someone dared to attack the envoys from the capital, I didn't take it seriously, thinking that they were just some unruly people who had grievances against the Great Zhou."
"So, I sent an order to the county magistrate of Chenghua County through Shannan Daogong Jiang Bokao to assist in the arrest of the murderer, and then I didn't pay attention to it anymore."
"But I didn't expect that this was just the beginning."
Speaking of this, Yun Mi sighed.
Although he had not had contact with Yun Mi several times, Kong Tianyang, who knew her personality and style, still felt a little incredible when he saw Yun Mu sigh.
"I didn't expect that the rumors were not so credible."
Kong Tianyang said in his heart.
What he didn't know was that this was Yun Mi's first time going out to the royal city to do business, and she encountered a major setback. It was normal to be a little discouraged.
"Less than a day later, the second messenger contacted me, and then the third and fourth."
Yun Mi continued to narrate.
"They reported that their messengers were missing and dead. At this time, I realized that things were beyond my imagination."
"When I sent a message to you through the [Communication Jade Slip] mother slip, I found that most of the messengers from the county city had already rushed to the county city."
"At that time, I had a hunch that a lot of people would die this time."
Kong Tianyang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
When he received the message from Yun Mi, it was exactly a quarter of an hour after Li Yan came to his door.
At that time, he was urgently negotiating with Jin Fenglin on how to deal with the situation reported by Li Yan.
When Jin Fenglin heard Kong Tianyang say this, his expression was still a little doubtful.
Then, Yun Mi sent a notification message to confirm the news reported by Li Yan.
After that, the [Developing Spirit Mirror] linking the Linjiang City Lord's Mansion to the Shannan Dao Lord's Mansion was suddenly activated and transmitted the same message.
So, Jin Linfeng immediately sent people to retrieve the messengers while urgently discussing countermeasures.
The next day, the city was sealed off.
"Sure enough, do you know how many of the 32 [Communication Jade Slips] I sent out have lost the message?"
Yun Mi suddenly asked.
"I don't know."
Kong Tianyang didn't dare to guess casually, so he replied honestly.
"Fifteen have lost the message, nearly half."
The number reported by Yun Mi shocked Kong Tianyang.
This represents the fall of fifteen innate masters.
This is a loss that would only occur in a medium-sized battle.
"One thing you may know is that all the fifteen missing pieces disappeared after I issued the message 'Gather at Nanshan City'."
"In other words, it was my order that caused their death."
"Do you know why I issued that order?"
There was no sigh or regret in Yun Mi's voice at this time, only indifference.
The cold tone and cruel words made Kong Tianyang sweat coldly. Although he was angry for a moment, he was quickly suppressed by reason.
"Special Envoy Yun, you issued this order for your own purpose. Your subordinates dare not speculate."
Kong Tianyang had learned to be smart a long time ago. Don't make random guesses about anything. As long as you ask him questions, he is not clear, doesn't know, and dare not guess.
Yun Mi didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and then she calmed down in Kong Tianyang's fear.
"Forget it, I dare not guess, so I'll just tell you directly."
"The rebels and rats of the Chixue Fuzhou Army sent a letter to the Daoist Mansion, saying that if the envoys from the state and county cities are not allowed to leave as soon as possible, they will attack the state and county cities in various places."
"Of course, I will not agree to the demands of these rats. If I agree, it will not only lose the face of the Great Zhou, but also expose you envoys to their sight and be hunted down."
"But, Shannan Daogong Jiang Bokao came forward and compromised. He actually compromised with those rats."
Speaking of this, Yun Mi's beautiful face flushed.
Obviously, even after many days, she still felt angry when she recalled the confrontation with Shannan Daogong Jiang Bokao at that time.
Kong Tianyang looked at Yun Mi who was angry, and couldn't help but lower his head a little deeper.
It goes without saying that Yun Mi must have compromised under the pressure of Jiang Bokao.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such an order, and Kong Tianyang wouldn't be here, but still enjoying Linjiang City.
"No wonder Envoy Yun wants to block my communication."
Kong Tianyang looked at the ground, and suddenly remembered that he was blocked by Yun Mi, and he suddenly realized it.
At that time, he would ask around every few hours, wanting to know why Envoy Yun issued such an order.
Now, he knows, and he is also a little scared.
"No wonder, he gave me a blow right away. I thought it was Envoy Yun's erratic personality, but it turned out to be my own problem."
Kong Tianyang couldn't help but sigh, women are grudges.
"I don't need to tell you what happened next, you already know it."
Obviously, Yun Mi didn't want to speak so clearly.
"I know, I understand, my subordinates already know what happens next."
Kong Tianyang replied quickly.
Yunmi nodded and no longer continued to delve deeper into this topic, but turned to other topics.
"You have worked hard along the way. Tell me how you came back safely!"
Faced with Yun Mi's sudden greeting, Kong Tianyang was a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted his state.
He told everything about his coming to Nanshan City in detail.
"Yes, you have a very good brain. You actually know how to let people pretend to be you and confuse the sight of those mice."
"It's just that people are a bit verbose."
Obviously, she still remembers what Kong Tianyang did before.
Kong Tianyang couldn't help but feel helpless. Sister, why don't you hold a grudge like this?
"Oh, you can still sense the water aura fluctuations in Yingyue Lake from such a long distance. This is not something that ordinary innates can do."
When I heard that Kong Tianyang used the huge water aura fluctuations in Yingyue Lake to prevent himself from getting lost in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Even Yun Mi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at Kong Tianyang in surprise.
To be honest, this ability is not that rare in the Ningsha Realm, but among innate warriors, it is incredible.
"Yes, because I broke through to the innate state through understanding life and death. That is, after I broke through the innate state, I found that I was particularly sensitive to the fluctuations of water aura."
Kong Tianyang briefly explained to Yun Mi the process of his breakthrough.
"You are very good at risking your life and surviving. I didn't expect you to have such ruthlessness."
Yun Mi immediately praised him.
"Thank you, Special Envoy Yun, for the compliment. I am ashamed of myself."
When Kong Tianyang finished explaining the seven-day hard journey in less than a quarter of an hour, Yun Mi began to appreciate Kong Tianyang.
"Yes, the envoys under your command are also good, they are some good talents."
Aiwujiwuxia, Yun Mi also praised Li Yan and the others.
"My subordinates thanked Special Envoy Yun for their compliments on their behalf."
Afterwards, the two chatted about some news about other messengers, but neither was very optimistic.
Therefore, Kong Tianyang and Yun Mi talked about some interesting things about Wangcheng to relieve the somewhat dull atmosphere.
Finally, Kong Tianyang felt that the time was ripe, so he asked carefully: "Special Envoy Yun, I wonder if we are waiting for the other envoys to arrive, and then return to the royal city together."
"It's better to wait for the royal city to send out the army and experts to sweep away the rats hiding in the dark corners."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yun Mi, who had shown a smile just now, suddenly turned cold.
"Why, do you really want to return to the royal city as soon as possible?"
"No, I just asked Special Envoy Yun about the subsequent arrangements. I wish I had made preparations in advance."
Kong Tianyang replied quickly.
"She is indeed a moody old maid."
Kong Tianyang gritted his teeth and greeted in his heart.
"I have my own plans for when to return to the royal city. You can go down first."
Obviously, this is an eviction order.
"Well, I will resign."
Although Kong Tianyang was a little regretful and did not ask when he would set off back to the royal city, he could feel more relaxed as he did not have to stay in front of this woman.
At least my nerves won't be so tense and I'm so afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Then, Kong Tianyang left, leaving Yun Mi alone in the room.
"I also want to go back, but unfortunately I can't defeat those people. If I go out, I will die. That old guy Jiang Bokao will not take the risk to help me return to the royal city."
"And the Royal City is short of manpower at this time. It's all because Dayue Kingdom suddenly provoked a war. Obviously those rats have mixed up with Dayue Kingdom. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence."
Thinking of this, Yun Mi couldn't help but feel his teeth tingle, and then a trivial breath leaked out of his body.
The chair she sat on suddenly shattered into powder.
On the other side, Kong Tianyang and Li Yan met.
Meng Rou immediately asked impatiently: "Master Kong, when can we go back?"
"I don't know either."
Kong Tianyang shook his head.
Then, he repeated what Yun Mi said to everyone.
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel happy that the person they were following was Kong Tianyang.
"Hey, looking at it this way, Su Han's guess is pretty accurate."
Chen Jian couldn't help but look at Li Yan at this time and said with some surprise.
"What?"
Kong Tianyang was confused, so Chen Jian summarized what Li Yan said before.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you, Su Han, to have such keen observation and speculation abilities."
Kong Tianyang admired Li Yan even more at this time.
