Under the Root

Miss Yuba... Hehe, I gave her the name of the place in Tuskul, Yuye, not the girl's original name at all.

Distressed, he helped up the cute girl who was lying on all fours.Hearing the girl's smooth breathing, Jiu Yuan was slightly relieved.

After carefully placing her on the ostrich that was staying there safely not far away.

Jiu Yuan crouched in front of the unconscious "guardian".

Take a closer look.

The merchant with the appearance of a little old man seems to be in perfect condition, but...

The look in his eyes changed, with lightning speed.Jiu Yuan pulled out the little old man's funny beard and wig with only a tuft of hair.

Then Zuo Jin's true appearance appeared in front of her.

Mixed green hair, slightly ferocious face, strong and powerful muscles.Not as approachable as before, that is the appearance of a warrior who is quite scary at first glance.

"Sure enough, it's not what I expected." The good-looking ear swayed unconsciously, the famous detective Jiu Yuan said to himself. "According to Yuye's description just now, everything is clear."

Youye was kidnapped and left the house.On the day she met herself, she used some amazing magic to escape from the kidnappers.

And those kidnappers were obviously not willing to just stop like this.So, they performed such a good show after finding the trace of pomelo leaf.

Otherwise, I didn't see that Youye had any contact with the outside world, so how did her family know that she was here.

Otherwise, how could the family not even say her name correctly.

Otherwise, why would they send a cross-dresser who Yuba has never seen to come here to join.

Youye, that idiot, really had to tie her by his side.Otherwise, anyone who said "I'm here to pick you up" would be able to take her away.

And such a cute child, you kidnappers actually want to kidnap her twice?

There was a strong anger towards the kidnappers in his heart.Jiu Yuan threw the kidnapper on the snow and didn't plan to take care of him anymore.

Sleeping in the ice and snow for a day is enough to kill a demihuman.

For Jiu Jiu, this was already a great punishment for him.

And the next step is to think about how to send the pomelo leaf home safely.

The kidnapper couldn't be just this one person. Although he was powerless, it was not bad, but after all, he was weak.It's pretty easy to get it wrong.

Therefore, not only should the traces be buried to prevent the kidnappers from finding out, but it is also best to find a safe place.

The small village before is definitely not going to work.

Jiu Yuan, holding the ostrich, was thinking while erasing his traces.

Safe... yes!

As if thinking of something, her eyes suddenly lit up.

----

In autumn, in a canyon not far from the village near the ruins, there was a long convoy moving along the mountain wall towards the imperial capital.

The convoy's team is very long, with a length of several hundred meters from the front of the team to the tail of the team.

Among the convoy, there are more than 20 carriages carrying food, cloth, luxury goods, and strange equipment for unknown reasons, moving slowly.

Outside the convoy, there were nearly a thousand demi-human soldiers, all of whom were heroic and armed with well-maintained weapons.Guard the safety of the entire convoy.

In fact, it stands to reason that from a business point of view, this kind of convoy is not economical, and it is only the mobilization of a thousand-man army.The money it costs is not a decimal.

But sometimes, uneconomic things are surprisingly reasonable, such as this team.

They did not go to the imperial capital for profit.It was to express my wholehearted respect and submission to the present human god in the imperial capital.

That's right, the convoy in front of him is the tribute convoy of Jiuzhongli, Yamato's vassal state.

"Thank you so much, Ukon-san."

In the middle of the convoy, Lulutie, the most beloved princess in Jiuzhong, rode on the mutated bird Kekopo, and thanked the famous ranger with a beard beside him as if he was relieved.

"I'm really not very good at commanding the army. And among these tributes are the relics of the great father that the emperor most favors. If something goes wrong, our family may..."

"Where is it, Your Royal Highness, even without me, I am afraid no one would dare to touch the tribute of Lord Ouzhen, one of the Eight Pillar Generals." You Jin beside Lulutier replied with a relaxed expression.

"That's not necessarily the case. That Avenkuruga adult just... oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lulutie, who knew she had made a slip of the tongue, quickly shut her mouth.

"It's okay. The emperor didn't issue a gag order on these things, so you can talk about them casually." You Jin, who was riding a dragon with the characteristics of the future era, smiled, but didn't think too much about this matter that slightly damaged the emperor's kindness to the people in-depth.

"But let's talk about yourself, Lulutie, do you have any plans after arriving in the imperial capital this time?"

"Intend?"

"Yes, although you entered the imperial capital as a hostage, the benevolent emperor has never restricted your activities. As long as you abide by the emperor's laws, no one will care if you leave all these soldiers in the imperial capital to form a ranger group Oh."

"Ah, I'm not Ukon-san. I'm really not good at rangers, but if I can, I'd like to meet the world-renowned painter Lao Lao. I really want to know why he has so much inspiration."

As if thinking of something, Lulutier's face turned red all of a sudden, as if pink steam shot straight into the sky from her forehead.

"Lao Lao? I don't know. But I wish you all your wishes in advance, Lulutie." You Jin shook his shoulders in doubt, and politely gave a blessing.

"Yeah! I'll try my best. When it comes to God... huh?"

Lulutier, who suddenly got angry, wanted to say something just now, but found that the unknown convoy ahead had stopped.
