Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Now that it has been mixed into the palace, the next step is to draw up a specific plan to steal the night green glass beads, analyze the existing situation, integrate intelligence, troubleshoot problems, manpower allocation, and timing arrangements. This person who is used to overall planning can be completely competent, so, after dinner, when several people start to discuss the plan, it is natural for him to lead.

Comfortably folded his hands and placed them on his knees. This is the posture that Chrollo used to think and issue orders. He opened his head.

"Let's summarize the current situation and the next steps to take first, Ye Qinglizhu is in Yu Xiaoli's hands, so the first task is to find out the location of the palace where the other party lives and the specific location where he collects Ye Qinglizhu, and secondly, is The issue of security is not only the guarding power to guard Ye Qinglizhu, but also needs to thoroughly understand the overall protection of the palace, and then it is the selection of the appropriate time and personnel arrangements."

After laying out the action steps in a clear and orderly manner, Chrollo looked at Cellulu and asked.

"Before formulating a specific plan, Celluloid, explain what you know first. The more detailed the better, I need to refer to."

Nodding, Cellulu thought back and explained carefully.

"I don't know the specific palace distribution of the Royal Palace of Lebanon, but the overall layout should be similar. I can draw a basic distribution map for you later, and then about the security force, I remember that it is common to all countries, from the outside to the outside. Inside, it is divided into three layers of vigilance power according to the level, covered by different enchantments, and then staff are stationed."

"The area around the palace is from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. It is mainly the residential area for servants and the palace for entertaining people with low status. We are in this area now, and the enchantment here has only one function, that is Limits the ability to move spells through space to and from the palace.

The middle area of ​​the palace is from halfway up the mountain to the ridge. It consists of the halls used by envoys and ministers to rest, as well as the palaces of the servants. The enchantment here is stronger, whether it is demons or humans, large-scale spells and lethal powers. Spells and all spatial spells are banned, and only a few auxiliary minor spells can be used.

The ridge to the top of the mountain belongs to the innermost area, including the conference hall, the ancestral temple, the altar, the royal inner storehouse, the residence of the emperor and the emperor. The enchantment here prohibits the application of all spells. If the demon is in this area, even the physical fitness It will drop to the point where it is no different from ordinary people. The Ye Qing glass beads we are looking for are collected in the royal inner library. "

"Royal internal library? Are you sure? Isn't Ye Qinglizhu already given to Yu Xiaoli? Why isn't he by his side?"

Chrollo thought for a while and raised a doubt.

Shaking her head, Celluloid explained.

"No, how precious is the treasure of a country, how could it be stored in an unsafe place, the meaning of King Li rewarding him with Ye Qinglizhu means that he transferred the right of opening to Yu Guijun, and the treasure is usually stored in In the special storage box, a magic seal has been placed on the box, which can reflect all spells. Brute force is also prohibited. Only those who are recognized can open it. Therefore, now only Yu Guijun can take out the Yeqing glass beads from the box. "

"En? Is that so? It's not enough to get Ye Qing Glass Beads. After you get that thing, you can use mind control to let him open the box."

Chrollo didn't think this was a big problem, and said casually.

"No, there is a recognition array on the box, and the box will not be opened without my own will."

Cellulu shook her head and denied it again.

"Then let him open it himself, there are many ways for him to do it."

Feitan gave a gloomy smile, and the corners of his mouth drew a cruel arc.

Thinking of Feitan's expertise in torture, Cellulu, who had personally experienced his methods, couldn't help trembling slightly. It was both fear and anger. She stared straight at Feitan without flinching, with a serious expression on her face.

"That's impossible! Out of my own will, it means non-coercion, non-control, willingly, there is no difference in essence between your torture and my mind control. They are to let him open the box without subjective consciousness. Do your best to think about it! Why can't you find a way to win his cooperation?"

"cut!"

The girl's fleeting emotional changes and movements were all in Feitan's eyes, and an unknown suffocation flashed in his heart, and he didn't refute the girl any more.

"His cooperation? It's unlikely, right? Let's have a good life, but why does Yu Xiaoli want to cooperate with us? I don't think it can be done without taking tough measures."

The knight took the opportunity to take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, he didn't agree with Cellulo's idea very much, it was too naive.

"It's not necessarily true, you all know about him, and seeing his performance yesterday, you can feel that he is not willing to stay in the palace, and it can even be said that he has a grudge against King Li, so I think it can be done. A deal in exchange for taking him out of the palace and letting him open the box voluntarily."

Cellulu quickly expressed her thoughts. After knowing that Ye Qinglizhu was in Yu Xiaoli's hands, she kept thinking about whether there was a best of both worlds.

"Hmm~ It sounds feasible, but Xiao Lulu is really interested in Yu Xiaoli~"

Hisoka glanced at Cellulu and said with a playful expression.

"I just think it would be better if the other party could leave with us willingly? The success rate of escape can also be improved."

Hearing this, Cellulu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, her face was a little red, she retorted in a low voice, she was indeed a little selfish, because she didn't want to see the unhappy look on this face, so she hoped to help Yu Xiaoli. , let him out of this unfree cage.

Interrupting what others were trying to say, Chrollo brought the topic back to business.

"In short, no matter whether a deal is proposed or not, Yu Xiaoli must be taken away, so our manpower must be divided into two, one to get Ye Qinglizhu, the other to catch Yu Xiaoli, we can only say that the current The situation is much easier than I expected. On the Royal Inner Library, if the spell cannot be used, relying on physical fitness alone, the people here will not be opponents, because it is a forcible attack, which is also the key point, so Jin, Xi Suo and I go together, and then Yu Xiaoli is here. Small spells can be used in the middle-level area, so the only way to win or lose is speed. You have to grab it before the opponent activates the ability. This is done by Feitan and Ilumi. , the knights are on the periphery, flexibly arrange the route to break out of the encirclement, if Celluloid is to follow us, just in case, the personnel arrangement is roughly like this, and then the specific route and time point selection..."

Hearing this, Cellulu hesitated and interrupted Chrollo.

"Wait a minute, that, it's best not to rely too much on my strength, the outer circle is very strong to limit long-distance movement, I may be able to go out alone, but there is absolutely no way to bring so many people together at the same time. In the middle area, my ability is basically weak, and in the innermost area, the effect is even worse.”

Although I told Chrollo and the others that they planned to steal the treasure without attracting attention, in fact, Cellulu didn't have much confidence in herself. The key is that the enchantment here can also affect her, from the inside to the outside, layer by layer. reduce.

Hearing this, several people looked over in amazement. They didn't expect the girl to have such a serious problem, which was never mentioned before.

Not doing unsure things, and not fighting against people who are stronger than you are both the family motto of beating the enemy Hakka, and the principle that Ilumi believes in, so Cellulu's recklessness made him very disapprove, and he was about to say something about her education. , I heard Jin preemptively rebuke.

"Selullu, why didn't you say something so important earlier, if Qingqiuxiao didn't show up at that time and we couldn't get in, this task would be all on you, didn't you think about the seriousness of it? "

"I'm sorry, but because it's not completely incapacitated, I want to fight, if I get something and leave, there is still a possibility of success."

Stunned by Jin's aura, Cellulu shrank her shoulders and said hesitantly.

When Jin Li was angry, what he was worried about was not the mission, but that Cellulu always didn't take her own safety seriously, which really made him not know what to say, rubbing his temples, he said helplessly.

"Hey, I'm not talking about that, it's okay to leave if you can't get something, what if you get caught? It's too rash, it's tantamount to dying! Wait a minute, die? You don't just want to rely on that... ··"

Halfway through speaking, Jin suddenly remembered the strange phenomenon that happened to Cellulu after her death, stared at her in disbelief, and asked.

"Huh? No, no,"

Cellulu immediately denied it anxiously, paused, touched her wrist unconsciously, and said.

"I thought of another way."

"Another method? It has something to do with the bracelet that recognizes the Lord~?"

Hisoka glanced at the gorgeous bracelet on Cellulo's hand and asked.

"Huh? It's not particularly relevant." Cellulu immediately withdrew her hand from fiddling with the bracelet.

"Let's end this matter. Since Cellulo's ability will be affected, then you can join the group of Feitan, Illumi, and the knight, as a logistics manoeuvre, is that okay?"

Chrollo has no interest in studying Cellulo's secrets for the time being. This opportunity is always there, and the task is more important now. He waved his hand and signaled the two to stop. He looked at Cellulo and asked.

Seeing that she nodded in agreement, then proceeded to the next step.

"In the end, it's time to choose. We have too many people here. If we want to go out naturally and openly, it's best to go out with Qingqiuxiao and the others, so the night before the end of the Wenxinyuan performance task, it is Best time to act, above, any objections?"

After scanning the audience, no one asked any questions, and Chrollo finally concluded.

"Then, assign the tasks for the next few days. Illumi and the knights try to figure out the terrain, guards and escape routes from here to the vicinity of the treasury. Feitan and Xisuo are responsible for the terrain and defense near the Yuxiaoli Palace. In this case, Jin and I will investigate the escape route, Xilulu, find a way to approach Yu Xiaoli and find an opportunity to persuade."

As soon as the final decision was made, several people nodded and dispersed, trying to find a way to carry out their tasks.

-------------------------------------

Dixian Mountain, at the southern foot of the mountain, a pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings is looming in the sea of ​​clouds. The sweet and pure sound of the pipa overflows from a terrace that sticks out of the cliff.

There were about seven or eight people on the terrace. Two men were sitting on the upper seat, followed by two or three attendants. A girl in red was at the bottom. She knelt on the ground with a good posture, closed her eyes and lowered her head, and concentrated on playing. Pipa in hand.

At the end of the song, the blue-clothed man sitting on the left clapped his palms a few times and praised:

"Sai Qing is really talented, and this pipa is also exquisite. After taking turns in the past few days, there is no musical instrument that you are not good at. It really is a talented person from Jiangshan."

After a slight pause, the blue-clothed man smiled and turned to the white-clothed man beside him.

"However, when it comes to the ultimate voice, it is still the best talent in the world like Yu Guijun. I am afraid that no one in the world will dare to speak up. People like Yuguijun in Li Guoxuan are indeed one of the most famous people in our country. Fortunately."

This man is Lan Huangfu. His remarks are neither yin nor yang, but he praises and criticizes Yu Xiaoli. He seems to praise Yu Xiaoli's skills as a bit higher than Cellulo, but in fact, he is degraded to the status of an artist. .

Yu Xiaoli wasn't annoyed, she turned her head slightly, and answered in a polite and calm manner.

"I was praised by the emperor, the ministers and servants were terrified, the music is broad and profound, no one in the world dares to be the first, but it's just a false name. Listening to Sai Qing's performance these few days, no matter what kind of instrumental music skills are already perfect, Knowing the variety is even more numerous, and this alone leaves the servants behind."

"Menghuangzhengjun and Yuguijun have raised their love. The way of the villain's pleasure is only a little bit familiar. How can he afford the appreciation of the nobles? The four characters of pure fire are far from each other. The two nobles don't think I am vulgar. It is my supreme honor to be willing to take the time to listen.”

In the open and secret fight, Celluloid has no interest in mixing, and does not want to be harmed by innocent people. She chooses the wording of the answer carefully to ensure that neither side will be offended. Cellulu said it politely.

"Sai Qing is too self-effacing. Whether it is real talent or a bag of grass with embroidered pillows, I still have the power to judge this."

Lan Huangfu smiled inexplicably, and after speaking lukewarmly, he straightened up, with restraint and concern on his face, and said to Yu Xiaoli.

"Today is a good day. I have something to do, so let's go first, Yu Guijun, you have been in the palace for many days, and you haven't seen your face, so let's listen to a few more songs to relieve your worries. Sai Qing, you have to be careful. write."

Glancing at Cellulu next to her, the royal husband Lan ordered in a dignified manner.

"Thank you for the good intentions of the emperor, and I respectfully send the emperor."

"The villain respectfully obeys the will and sends the emperor off."

Seeing that the Lan Huangfu was about to leave, Yu Xiaoli got up after him, thanking him and seeing him off according to court etiquette. Cellulo immediately bowed her head in salutation.

After Lan Huangfu walked away, the platform suddenly fell into silence, Yu Xiaoli sat quietly in his seat, neither instructing Cellulu to play, nor chasing people away, but just dazed, Cellulu didn't. Asking the automatic, well-versed and familiar painting axis, the style of playing suddenly changed, from the original cheerful and smooth to the sobbing, euphemistic and sad.

Playing the strings in her hand, Cellulu was also thinking about things in her heart. Since the banquet, this was the fifth time she received Yu Guijun's will to summon her to Qiyun Pavilion - Yu Guijun The palace performed performances, and every time I went there, only Lan Huangfu and Yu Guijun were present. In several performances, Yu Guijun showed lack of interest and noncommittal, but Lan Huangfu had listened to three or four songs, so he left the stage early at will, but he still wanted her to stay for more sessions and play a few more. Quzi, and the person who asked her to come, was indifferent from the beginning to the end.

After several visits, Xilulu couldn't help but feel a lot of doubts in her heart, and began to wonder whether the summoning oracle was really from Yu Guijun's intention. In the forbidden area of ​​the palace, she was a woman who frequently went in and out of the palace, which really made her feel a kind of conspiracy. For Cellulu, who had the task of approaching and persuading, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it was impossible to give up easily.

I hope she thinks more, anyway, as long as she acts cautiously and pays attention, it should be fine, Xilulu thought, she has not mentioned the transaction to Yu Guijun in the past few days, and feels that the time is not ripe and haste Otherwise, she still understands.

Therefore, every day she just chooses some nostalgic songs that remind people of past happiness after listening to Lan Huangfu, hoping to touch Yu Xiaoli's heart. Only when she remembers the sweet past will she hate the existing ones even more. Cage, and then all you have to do is make up your mind for him.

After finishing a song that was both happy and sad, Cellulo changed the song, but this time it was determined and high-spirited, as if breaking the bondage, full of resistance, hard work, and inspiration.

It seems very despicable to do this by herself. It is no different from controlling and exploiting people's hearts. Cellulu's brows are furrowed, and she is a little disgusted in her heart. For herself who adopts this method, it is despicable, as long as you know that Yu Xiaoli is true It is enough to not be attached to the palace.

After alternately playing a few tunes of resentment or encouragement, after dropping the last note, Cellulu put away the instrument as usual, and was about to bow and retire when Yu Guijun suddenly opened his lips and whispered.

"You play one more song."

Hearing this, Cellulu raised her head in surprise, but then plucked the strings again according to her words.

While the lute was melodious, Yu Guijun turned his head to the left and right and instructed.

"Wen Xuan, I suddenly remembered that the golden screen that the saint gave me the day before yesterday, last time Zhang Dejun saw it, and he never wanted to come back after giving it to him. Today, His Majesty is coming, I'm afraid she will ask, you go and put the screen for me. Take it back."

Hearing this, the attendant on the left stepped back and paused for a moment, then Yu Guijun said:

"Wen Yan, I feel a little uncomfortable in my throat today. You go to the imperial kitchen for me and order someone to make a bowl of loquat paste to stew Sydney pears."

The attendant on the right also withdrew in response. Seeing that Yu Xiao had left the two servants, after Cellulu was slightly startled, she realized that the chance to persuade had finally come. It should be said that the other party is indeed a master of temperament, and he knows the elegance by listening to the songs.

Sure enough, after estimating that the two attendants were almost far away, Yu Xiaoli looked straight at her suspiciously.

"Mrs. Sai, you continue to play your tunes, don't stop. Now that there are no outsiders present, I want to know, what are you trying to do when you approach me? What are you instigating those tunes?"

"Yuguijun, can't you hear what I meant to play?"

Playing with the lute, Cellulu asked in a roundabout way.

"I think I should understand, but that is impossible, or it is too difficult to achieve."

Yu Guijun paused for a while before answering vaguely.

"Then there is such an opportunity now, would you like to try it?" Cellulo asked vaguely.

"Who are you, and how can you guarantee that you will be able to leave?"

After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaoli no longer continued to fight with Cellulu, Yu Xiaoli directly broke the truth and did not answer the question.

"My superficial identity is an artist, of course, my actual identity is also a homeless person, but I can assure you that after leaving, we will take you to join Mingguo, where there are people I know well, and the other party's identity is very high, It must be able to hide you safely."

Cellulu replied calmly and decisively, when considering Yu Xiaoli's future placement, Cellulu had already made up her mind, and was going to have a showdown with Rongxiu and seek her help.

"What about the quid pro quo? It's impossible to help me for no reason."

Yu Xiaoli pondered for a while and asked.

"We need Ye Qing glass beads, so the condition is that when we send you to a safe place, you have to open the sealed box for us."

Celluloid explained her purpose.

"Ye Qing Li Zhu? It was for that, but why should I trust you? How can you make sure that I will be safe? Treasures and nobles of a country are missing at the same time, so the chasing force will not be too small. go with."

A trace of surprise crossed Yu Xiaoli's face, but then asked.

"Yes, no matter how detailed the plan is, there are things that can't be taken into account, and I really can't give more guarantees and proofs. Therefore, it depends on whether you have the determination to leave, Yugui-Jun. It’s a gamble, if you win the gamble, you’ll be free from now on, if you lose, it’s your life, and the choice is yours, Yu Guijun.”

Cellulu didn't plan to coax the other party with rhetoric. She said the possible results truthfully, paused, looked up at Yu Xiaoli for a moment, and asked each word firmly.

"However, I just want to ask, are you willing? Are you willing to spend the rest of your life in this intriguing palace? To be with someone you don't love, and to have children for her?"

A sentence was like a sharp knife pierced into his heart, and his always cold face gradually showed bitterness and resentment. He forced himself to restrain his emotions. Yu Xiaoli let out a long sigh, seemingly very tired, and only uttered a sentence after a long while.

"...Let me think about it."

"I look forward to a good answer from you, um, and today's conversation..."

Celluloid also felt a lot more relaxed, nodded understandingly, and then stopped talking.

"Whether I promise or not, I won't tell anyone about you, don't worry."

Yu Xiao complied with a heartfelt comprehension.

The soundtrack of this chapter is Lin Hai's Pipa language. It should be a well-known piece of music. It feels both happiness and sadness to me.
