C5 Deep palace tracer

It wasn't until the lanterns were lit that General Rong finally returned to harem.

The Shura did not immediately see him. On the veranda outside of the meeting hall, strange faces were constantly coming in and out. Each and every one of them had a solemn expression on their faces, aggravating the ominous feeling in the Shura's heart.

As the night deepened, the moon hung high in the sky, and the lanterns on the corridors swayed in the wind.

The Shura sat on top of a tall boulder as he looked down at the blue sky. Unknowingly, there was the sound of light footsteps behind her. She was once very familiar with these footsteps. She quickly got up and bowed, "Father!"

"Aral!" Rong Changtian helped her up. He was dressed in black robes, and when the moonlight shone on his gold belt, it shined a little. The harem's badge could clearly be seen.

"Father," she couldn't hold back the nervousness in her heart as she anxiously asked, "Is it big …"

"Aral, it's too cold here," Rong Changtian interrupted her. "Let's go inside the house to talk."

He took his daughter's hand and slowly walked down the mountain.

"Father, how are you doing in the Frontier Trial for a year? Do you have an attack from your old wound? "

"Very good, the medicine you brought is quite effective."

"Father, I've gotten a new red leopard. It's just that I chased after it for a few days …"

The moonlight was silver, the ancient trees were dense, and the entire harem was silent. Only the father and daughter pair could be heard mumbling.

At the back of the chamber was a small mirror room, all of which were inlaid with bronze mirrors. The Shura followed his father inside, feeling that there were thousands of him in all directions. It was quite a novelty.

It was the first time she had been admitted to her father's chamber, and there was a faint sense of pride in the thought that, in my father's eyes, I was no longer a child.

There was only one small lamp in the room, and it reflected off the walls. It reflected light back and forth, as if there were millions of lights, specks of light, but they were as bright as day.

The Shura looked at his father carefully, and his nose ached. At some point, his father's hair had been dyed with frost. The wrinkles on his usually resolute face were like knife cuts, adding to his majesty.

"Aral …" General Rong's voice was a bit strange, there was a hint of hoarseness in his fatigue. "Something big has happened in the palace."

"Elder sister …" How is sister? " The Shura's heart leaped as he asked with a trembling voice. She already knew that it wasn't a good thing for her sister to enter the palace three years ago. She cried and caused trouble. She shamelessly hugged her elder sister and refused to leave. In the end, it was impossible for her to disobey the imperial decree. With the command of the Phoenix King, her elder sister entered the palace to be the successor.

"Miaomiao has disappeared."

"Missing?" The Shura almost jumped up. "When did this happen?"

"I received a secret order from the Phoenix King to return to the palace from the Eastern Region. I thought that there was an important military matter to discuss with him, but who would've known that Miaomiao had disappeared after entering the palace?" Rong Changtian paused, suppressing the anger in his heart, "Your sister has already been missing for three days."

"Three days! For a country to disappear after such a huge affair, why is there no news at all? " "The Shura sensed that there must be something out of the ordinary about this." "Could it be that the Phoenix King is doing this on purpose …"

"Phoenix King …" Rong Changtian muttered to himself for a moment, and suppressed his voice to a low level, "The Phoenix King said that Crown of the Phoenix are also the ones who disappeared along with us …"

"Crown of the Phoenix!" The Shura couldn't help but exclaim, "So there really is a Crown of the Phoenix in this world …" She originally thought that the Crown of the Phoenix was just a sacred object from the legends and was just a fabricated story to trick children into playing around.

"That's right, Crown of the Phoenix are not only legends. They are treasures that truly exist, and are in the custody of the royal family from generation to generation."

"So you're saying that Wings of the Phoenix, Phoenix Feather and Tears of Wutong and the like are all true?" With but a thought from an Asura.

Rong Changtian slightly nodded his head, "In the past, when the Phoenix Empire was established in response to the divine order, the phoenix spirit s that were transformed into Five Treasures s were: Crown of the Phoenix, Phoenix Spirit Bead, Wings of the Phoenix, Phoenix Flower Feather, and Tears of Wutong. The Phoensis was in charge of the Crown of the Phoenix s, while the Spirit Phoenix Feather was protected by the Shang family, the Phoenix Spirit Bead was under the control of the Qi family, and the Tears of Wutong was under the protection of my Jung's. These four treasures will guard the borders of the Phoenix Dynasty, protecting the peace of the people within. Now that the Phoenix Empire has reached five hundred years of age, if we are unable to find the Phoenix King's Crown, I'm afraid that the demons will rise again … "

"A phoenix reincarnated from the flames five hundred years ago, is this also true?"

"Mn, every five hundred years, the phoenix will burn itself up and reproduce an even more magnificent and glorious soul. It's just that it has to gather its Five Treasures, otherwise …"

"Or what?"

"Otherwise, in the chaotic world of demons and devils, I'm afraid that the human world will return to the chaos from a thousand years ago, and once again turn into a purgatory …"

"Since Five Treasures are so important, then they must be under strict control everyday. Since the palace is guarded by a Crown of the Phoenix, it must be extremely cautious and heavily guarded, why would they disappear without a trace? What does this have to do with my sister's disappearance? Could it be that the Phoenix King suspected that elder sister had stolen the Crown of the Phoenix? "

"Naturally, the Phoenix King doesn't dare to say it so openly …" Rong Changtian laughed bitterly, "It's just that before her disappearance, someone had seen her figure appear in the Forbidden Palace."

"I believe in Elder Sister's character. She definitely would not steal the Crown of the Phoenix for no reason." The Shura could not understand. Taking a step back, even if his sister stole the Crown of the Phoenix, what was her goal? If she allowed the noble empress of a country to not do it, then what was the use of stealing this legendary treasure?

"No, perhaps my sister's disappearance was a coincidence."

Rong Changtian caressed his long beard lightly, "Miaomiao's personality and good nature are great, there is no way she would do such a thing, I'm afraid the person who stole the Phoenix Crown must have kidnapped someone, and at the same time framed my Rong Family … There must be someone behind all this. "

"But the Phoenix King … Will he believe it? "

"Phoenix King was anxious and has already secretly searched for it. I have also deployed some men to scout the area. However, he had to be careful and not make any noise. Although the Phoenix King seemed to agree with my words, I could tell that he was bewildered. I have already assured him that my Rong Family does not have the slightest bit of disrespect … "

"It's likely that his words will not convince the Phoenix King …"

"Not bad …" Rong Changtian's words suddenly hesitated, he wanted to say something, but hesitated. He looked at the Shura, as though he was considering.

"Father, if you have something to say, just say it." The Shura held Rong Changtian's hand. This hand was filled with calluses.

"Aral …" Rong Changtian lightly caressed the back of his daughter's hand, "You five siblings, you lost your mother long ago. Since Ling Jun and Xiu'er have been following me around since young, I will naturally guide them on how to become proficient. It's just that I can't do anything about the three of you. Fortunately, Miaomiao is always dignified and sensible, and takes good care of you two sisters. Of the three daughters, Miaomiao is weak, Qingyi young, only you, most like me. "Since you were a child, you disliked girls, loved to read soldiers' books, liked to ride a horse and shoot with a bow, and danced with swords and spears everyday. Whatever you want to do, father will never disobey your wishes, it's just that …"

"But what, Father?"

"I'm afraid that right now, father will have to go against your wishes …" He looked at the Shura, his expression grave.

"Aral …" Moonlight focused on Rong Changtian's eyes, there seemed to be a glint of water in them. At this moment, this great general who had fought on the battlefield had lost all of his aura of strength. He was just a father who felt boundless pity for his daughter. It would not be easy for the Phoenix King to believe in the Rong Family, it's just that the Rong Family just lost a daughter, and I am truly not willing to send you to the palace as a hostage.

"Father, you don't need to say so much. Your daughter is willing to enter the palace." "As long as elder sister's suspicions can be cleared, I am willing to do anything."

"Good child …" Rong Changtian threw the Shura into his arms, "Phoenix King is suspicious, you must take care of this trip to the palace, you definitely can't cause trouble for Rong Family." A golden command medallion suddenly appeared in his hand. Under the moonlight, a crouching jade leopard emerged from the medallion. Its expression was vividly drawn. "Keep this Jade Leopard Token well. If there is an emergency and show this token, someone in the palace will take care of it."

The Shura took the token, his heart pounding. The various news that he had heard that night was shocking. Even though he had heard that there was a spy from the Rong Family s in the palace, he was only slightly surprised.

Returning to the Moon Seizing Pavilion, Zhao Hui and Xiao Luan were waiting outside. When they saw the Shura's figure, they came over from afar and shouted, "Miss!"

The Shura waved his hand. "All of you, step back and rest. I want to be alone for a while."

Zhao Hui and Xiao Luan looked at each other, it was the first time she saw her expression so strange. Zhao Hui thought for a moment, then asked gently: "Miss, before we leave, Thirteen Less asked, are you still going to attend this year's Canglang boat Gathering?"

Canglang boat? That slender figure suddenly appeared in front of the Shura's eyes, and he seemed to have heard the melodious and gentle sound of a flute.

"The Plum Mountain Flower has just bloomed. The snow on the Tian Shan Mountains has yet to bloom. The snow is full of flowers and the lace is like the snow coming back. "

In the blink of an eye, it was snowing again. Was that person still as worried as the ocean?

She raised her head and looked out the window. The moonlight was hazy like snow, but it couldn't pierce through the clouds. For a moment, she couldn't see the road in front of her. She replied in a low voice, "If Thirteen Less asks again, then let's talk about the future. Let's talk about it in the future."
