Chapter 8: The Envoy of Heavenly Secret

Eat it? Isn’t this woman like a femme fatale?

Fang Lingke was not interested in her at all, and sneered in his heart, bowed and said, "In just a few days, the city lord, please take care of your health."

Naboutoya smiled and was about to praise him, when a female soldier hurriedly walked out, kneeling down and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Tell me, there are no outsiders here." Naboutoya said lightly.

Fang Ling knew in his heart that it was not that she believed in herself completely, but that for her, she was just a treasure.

The female soldier immediately reported: "Several southerners asked for a visit, saying that they were the special envoys of Tianjihou of Cai, and wanted to discuss important matters with the Lord!"

Fang Ling felt a slump when he heard this. As early as when Chen Mou talked about the grassland, he had a vague premonition that Wei An, the Marquis of Tianji, would probably come and kick him.

Now it seems that my premonition is indeed correct, and this guy came to Naboutoya directly.

Fang Ling and Tianji Hou Wei An had two confrontations. The first time he escaped from the palace, Wei An followed him all the way, and finally almost killed Fang Ling on the dangerous cliff. The second time was in Heimu City. He sent his subordinates to take back Song Ying'er, but in the end he was wiped out.

In short, it was a draw of one win and one loss. Since I met again this time, Fang Ling vowed to let him lose another game!

When he heard the Tianjihou people ask for a meeting, Naboutoya waved his hand. Nina took Fang Ling to leave. Shortly after walking out of the boudoir, Fang Ling deliberately showed an interest in the environment in the mansion and said, "Miss Nina, I want to turn around in the mansion. Your face has just been applied with ointment. You should pay more attention to rest and go back early to have a good night's sleep. Maybe the scars will fade tomorrow."

Nina said happily: "Really? Will it be a little lighter tomorrow? Then I'll go and rest first. You can go back by yourself after you finish the tour."

Fang Ling nodded, and after she left, she immediately turned around and rushed outside Naboutoya's room.

At this time, Naboutoya had just come out from inside and walked towards the small hall of discussion. Fang Ling followed her like a night owl. Although there were female soldiers patrolling on the way, no one found him.

When he arrived outside the small hall of the meeting, Fang Ling looked inside and saw two men sitting in the hall. One of them was in his thirties, wearing a crown and hat, with a elegant appearance, and a pair of phoenix eyes that looked narrow and long, and quite wise.

Beside him was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a cold expression, a knife-cut face, two wide-blade long swords on his waist, and a cold aura all over his body. He looked like a master with a cultivation level of fusion.

As soon as Nabtoya appeared, both of them were obviously stunned, as if they had not expected such a beautiful grassland woman. However, this moment was only in a moment, and the two of them quickly calmed down, and the shocked expression seemed to have never appeared.

Fang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. Facing such beautiful and unmoved, it shows how powerful the two of them are. Only a person with strong hearts can be so firm.

Naboutoya swayed with the water snake waist and twisted to the upper seat to sit down. The elegant scholar smiled slightly and bowed, "I am the adviser Ding Muzhong, the counselor under the throne of Tianji. This is Du Long, the deputy general under the throne of Tianji. We both come to pay homage to the Lord of Naboutoya on the order of the throne."

Naboutoya glanced at the two of them lukewarmly and said, "I don't know you Tianjihou, so I'll spare you nonsense, just say it if you have any questions."

Ding Muzhong smiled: "The Lord of Naboutoya likes to be straight to the point, so he will not go around the corner. Now, in order to compete for the position of the next patriarch, the two heirs, Tulan Sai Khan and Tulan Motuo, have their own plans. The four major clans who support the two are also secretly competing. The most important part of this is about the legendary lost city."

Fang Ling immediately raised his ears and did not miss a word. He also thought that Tianjihou was indeed powerful. It seems that paying attention to the situation on the grassland is not a temporary matter. Fortunately, he followed Chen Mou's advice and came here. Otherwise, if Tianjihou succeeds, the grassland tribe will become a major disaster in the north.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Naboutoya's eyes and said coldly: "Your news is quite well-informed, even the lost city knows it."

Ding Muzhong smiled faintly: "Thousands of years ago, the southern land was unified by the Tang Dynasty. In the northern grassland, there was also a hero who unified the grassland. This person was respected by the grassland tribes and called Tuji Khan. Tuji Khan and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty became brothers of different surnames, creating a prosperous era. After Tuji Khan's death, his descendants buried his royal city underground together, and this city was called the Lost City by later generations. The invincible golden sword he fought against various tribes of the grassland. Legend has it that as long as he found the Lost City and found this golden sword, he could learn the supreme Khan martial arts, become the lord of the grassland, and unify the grassland land."

Naboutoya narrowed her eyes and looked at him without interrupting her words.

Ding Muzhong continued: "Over a hundred years ago, a southerner with excellent martial arts skills came to the northern grasslands and accidentally found clues about the Lost City and found the location of this place. He painted the place where the Lost City was located into a map and hid it in eight "North Yuan Travel Notes". In addition, he also allowed future generations to keep a key to entering the Lost City. Nowadays, the people of several tribes are looking for the Beiyuan Travel Notes, and each has gained something. Everyone's purpose is this invincible golden sword."

Fang Ling was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect that this lost city would have something to do with such an inside story.

Naboutoya's face was unstable and she said coldly: "Mr. Ding, if you tell such a secret thing in front of me, I'm afraid it's not as simple as telling a story?"

Ding Muzhong chuckled and said, "As far as I know, eight books of the travel notes of Beiyuan have basically been collected and distributed among the five major clans. However, if there is no key, no one can enter the lost city, and this key has been found by our Marquis!"

"What?" Naboutoya was shocked and almost stood up from her seat.

Fang Ling's heart sank even more. If Tianji Hou really had this key, and this invincible golden sword was related to the inheritance of the next patriarch, then this bargaining chip would have enough to make any party form an alliance with him!

Naboutoya asked calmly: "Mr. Ding, aren't you kidding me?"

Ding Muzhong smiled and said, "The city lord clearly saw that in order not to disturb the Lost City, the master deliberately placed two things in the north and south respectively. The travel notes of the North Yuan were distributed in the grassland, but the key was placed in the southern country. And for such an important thing, does the city lord think we would joke about it?"

Naboutoya stared at him and said, "Then what do you marquis want?"

Ding Muzhong smiled and said, "Three days later, it will be Shaman Festival. At that time, the city lord's cousin, the patriarch of the Wushen clan, will come here with Young Master Tulansaihan to discuss your marriage. At that time, I hope the city lord will introduce it to us so that we can discuss major events together."

Fang Ling was secretly surprised again. Unexpectedly, during the Shaman Festival, the leader of the Wushen clan and Tulansai Khan would come, and he would also discuss the marriage with Naboutoya!

He secretly felt something was wrong. If Naboutoya really wanted to marry Tulansaikhan, then the latter would definitely not have endured her. The only consequence was that she would be killed.

However, Naboutoya did not show any such signs in front of her. I am afraid she is not very enthusiastic about the marriage, but it is related to political interests. Moreover, the leader of the Wushen clan came here in person, but he was afraid that he would have to compromise in the end.

In other words, he and the nine leaders had the possibility of being killed. He frowned slightly and thought deeply. A character and thing were quickly connected in his mind, looking for possible strategies.

At this time, Naboutoya sneered and said, "Your Marquis is really well-informed. I only knew that Young Master Saihan was coming yesterday, but I didn't expect you to know."

Ding Muzhong's face always had a smile, and it did not change because of the irony implied in this sentence. He continued: "If the city lord can help build a bridge, and Young Master Khan will inherit the position of patriarch in the future, your Wushen clan will be the first contribution."

Naboutoya stared at him and said, "I hope there is no lie in what you say, otherwise even if you have countless masters around you, I will guarantee that you will never be able to walk out of the grassland alive!"

Ding Muzhong smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me that I will never disappoint the city lord with my personality."

Naboutoya said, "Well, in three days, I will send someone to call you."

"Thank you, the city lord." Ding Muzhong bowed and turned around and left with Du Long.

As soon as the two left, Fang Ling wanted to chase them out and check their residences, but before he left, he heard Naboutoya suddenly say to the maid outside: "Go to inform Master Bart, and he said that there are important things that need to be discussed."

After she said this, Fang Ling immediately gave up the idea of ​​leaving the mansion. First, there was still some risk to leave the mansion alone, and second, Lu Bei and others monitored the entrances and exits of the city lord's mansion all day long. These two southerners and a master in entering the mansion will definitely attract their attention. So instead of taking risks, it is better to listen to the conversation between Naboutoya and Bart and see their countermeasures before making plans.

Not long after, Bart came, and Naboutoya asked, "Is Master Theron still in seclusion?"

When Fang Ling was chatting with Gnu, he knew that the top wizard in the city was the great wizard named Sailon, who was also Bart's master. His cultivation was said to be unfathomable. Now he is in seclusion in order to practice more profound martial arts.

Bati nodded and said, "The eldest brother is still in seclusion, but he should be able to come out recently. I just don't know if I can participate in the Shaman Festival. I don't know what important thing the city lord hurriedly called me here?"

Naboutoya spoke out two words with a serious expression: "Key!"
