Chapter 263: Silvis!

After Dugu Bo left, Emperor Xue Ye's expression became gloomy. He sat up, looked at Elder Long beside him, and said indifferently: "Old Elder Long, I know something in my heart. Basically, I should have been poisoned. But now, I still can’t tell that the person who wants to harm me just doesn’t want me to die yet.”

"Your Majesty! You said...you have been poisoned?" Elder Long was a little shocked, because all the safety of Emperor Xue Ye, including food and daily life, even the harem sex, was all arranged by him. Now that Emperor Xue Ye was sure that he had been poisoned as soon as he opened his mouth, it meant that he had not fulfilled his duties, so how could he not panic.

"This is the only reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I don't have any physical problems, so how could I keep having these strange symptoms. Alas, Mr. Long, of course, I really don't mean to blame you. By the way, how many years have you been with me? , I’m afraid it’s been thirty years.” Emperor Xueye turned his head and looked outside the door, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Back to Your Majesty, this old slave has been serving Your Majesty for the thirty-third year." A trace of reminiscence appeared on Elder Long's face, but he didn't know why Emperor Xue Ye suddenly asked about this.

"Mr. Long, you should go and do what you said yesterday. Find them as soon as possible and be sure to eradicate them!" Emperor Xue Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and then said: "Also, those who know that I fainted, Let’s take care of everything. Also, none of the people in the imperial dining room who are responsible for my food, as well as all the people in the palace who provide food, clothing, and daily life, can stay!”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Rest well, Your Majesty. Wait for a while, and after the old slave solves it, I will change another batch for Your Majesty." Long Lao didn't hesitate, nor did he look surprised at all, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and he was about to turn and leave after speaking.However, Emperor Xue Ye continued: "You don't have to worry about changing people, just ask Qinghe to come over, and let him serve me during this time."

Elder Long's face froze, he gave a deep salute, and then left tremblingly, his head was lowered by his hunched back, and his expression could not be seen...

A few days later, the western border of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Ever since Zhou Hao discovered the traces of the evil soul master, he had followed the almost dissipating aura and chased towards the west. Until now, looking at a boundary monument not far ahead, Zhou Hao finally understood why Zhao Yue's team will be called the Silvis Academy Team. It turns out that the base of these evil soul masters is in the Silvis Kingdom.

All the remaining breaths point to one direction, that is the mountain range behind the boundary marker, crossing it, it is the territory of the Kingdom of Silves.Zhou Hao took a deep breath, and said lightly to himself, "I hope you don't do anything that everyone regrets!" Then the next moment, the whole person had already crossed the boundary marker, and his figure was suddenly blurred in the distance. Except for the tall and solid boundary marker still standing tall, all the surrounding vegetation and stones were tossed by the strong wind brought by Zhou Hao, and even the weaker plants did not even leave the whole body.These days, Zhou Hao hardly had any rest. Without the consumption of intense fighting, Zhou Hao's own energy absorption ability almost made him a perpetual motion machine. In addition, where he could stop, if he found Zhu Zhuqing later, countless accidents might happen. No matter what the other party's purpose of capturing Zhu Zhuqing was, he didn't have the time to think about it now.

Along the way, with his excellent mental and energy perception, although the traces of soul power left by the opponent were extremely weak, Zhou Hao was still able to capture the opponent's approach. Sure enough, he arrived in the west in a few days. The border of the Kingdom of Elvis.

After all, it is a subordinate country attached to the Heaven Dou Empire. The Silves Kingdom is very small, and there may only be a dozen large-scale cities in total. However, after crossing this mountain range, it will be really difficult for Zhou Hao to find their specific traces, but there is no other good way. Even if he is looking for a needle in a haystack, Zhou Hao must continue.

"I don't know if Xue Qinghe will make any moves recently after Xue Qinghe returns to the palace. With the help of Tiandou's official power, it won't be that difficult to find these people." Zhou Hao thought to himself, but at that time he didn't think so much, he was so anxious, how could he still have the time to go to the palace to discuss this with Xue Qinghe, not to mention that he didn't even know that Zhu Zhuqing was taken away by Zhao Yue and the others.Gritting his teeth secretly, Zhou Hao continued to head towards the mountain, constantly muttering in his heart that Zhu Zhuqing must survive safely.

However, within a quarter of an hour, Zhou Hao had already arrived at the top of the hill. Looking down, he saw a large plain stretching as far as the eye could see. There was an unknown small city in the distance, and from the foot of the hill to the end of his field of vision, there was a whole piece of farmland. Looking around, Zhou Hao's tense heart finally relaxed a little.Looking to the side, this series of mountain ranges stretches continuously, with no end in sight at a glance, this mountain range straddles the north and south, like a natural barrier, separating the entire Silves Kingdom and the Heaven Dou Empire.But from the looks of it, Zhou Hao knew why the Heaven Dou Empire had always given Silves a relatively large degree of freedom. In this fertile plain, grain production is definitely a very important strategic point.Undoubtedly, when any situation happened, the Kingdom of Silvis would be an important granary for the entire empire, and as a kingdom, the Heaven Dou Empire didn't need to be distracted to manage them, instead they could unconditionally buy grain from here at a low price.It was getting late at this time, and Zhou Hao could only use the unknown town he saw in front of him as his foothold, and wait until tomorrow to inquire about it to see if he could find any useful news.

Along the way, Zhou Hao almost never stopped, and it was time to stop tonight, and he was really tired from being so tense.It was quick to go down the mountain, because next door was the Heaven Dou Empire, and Silvester didn't set up any defense lines, not even a garrison, so naturally there was less trouble.Although there was no way to go down the mountain, for Zhou Hao, it was just a few vertical jumps. In less than a quarter of an hour, he had already come down from the mountain.Zhou Hao looked at the clothes on his shoulders and waist that were cut by branches, and smiled wryly. Fortunately, Zhuqing helped him buy a lot of clothes at that time, otherwise he would have no clothes to wear along the way.

It was only after he could walk in that Zhou Hao really felt how small this city is. This is just an inconspicuous small city on the edge of the Silves Kingdom. The city wall seems to be only seven or eight meters high. For a slightly cultivated soul master, there is almost no difference in peace.The whole city was surrounded by a large piece of lush green farmland. Zhou Hao could only walk on the path beside the ridge of the field. The setting sun was about to fall, and the sunset glow became more and more red under the reflection of the golden light. It looked quiet and serene when projected on the whole small town. There were a few tiny figures in the distance, who seemed to be farmers working in the fields.

Zhou Hao's pace couldn't help but slow down. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the days when he had just traveled through time in Qingshi Village. Everyone in the village had no soul power, so they were working hard like this. Although that period of time was not long, it left a deep enough impression on him. He didn't know how the village was doing now, what happened to the iron-clad Su Yuntao, whether he had broken through to the soul master level, the one who had awakened the sun. Hua Wuhun, a girl with only first-level soul power, has graduated from Notting College. There is also Grandpa Jike’s grave. Does anyone clean or visit it regularly?

For a moment, Zhou Hao felt as if he had returned to his hometown in Blue Star, enjoying the leisurely and peaceful years, he didn't need to care about anything, he didn't need to think about anything, he just walked quietly, blowing the evening wind, but there seemed to be someone missing beside him...

Zhou Hao suddenly realized that Zhuqing was not by his side, this is Douluo Dalu, not Lanxing.But at this time, he has a feeling of enlightenment. It turns out that the reason why he has always wanted to become stronger is not just to ensure that he can live a good life in this world, and it is not just to protect the one he loves. There is only one deepest wish in his heart, and that is to go home!No matter how it is here, it is not his real hometown. Zhou Hao's soul will never truly belong to the Douluo Continent.

Sighing, Zhou Hao continued to walk towards the city gate. The two soldiers standing at the gate seemed to have little energy. They stood lazily and seemed to be unable to hold the spears in their hands steadily. After all, this place is so stable. There has been no large-scale turmoil in almost decades, let alone any war. The two empires and Wuhun Palace have always been checking and balancing each other, and no one has ever had the strength and confidence to dare to provoke a real war.

Seeing that Zhou Hao was approaching, one of the soldiers didn't even want to question him. In his eyes, this young man in ragged clothes must have escaped, or his hometown had suffered an early disaster, and he must have escaped all the way from the Tianyue Mountains.And the other soldier seemed to be a little bit cultivated, and he could feel the spirit power of Zhou Hao, so he stood up straight and looked over with some vigilance. After all, there are too few soul masters in this kind of place.

"Stop, who are you?" Zhou Hao was stopped by the other party before he had time to pay out the entrance fee.The lazy soldier seemed to be pulled back by his companion's questioning, and looked at Zhou Hao.

"Both, I'm just passing by. I'll rest here for one night. It's nothing." Zhou Hao said lightly, not wanting to waste time. At the same time, a light flashed in his hand, and two shiny silver soul coins had already flown towards the two of them.

"Hold it, I don't have the time to waste time here with you." While speaking, Zhou Hao's figure had disappeared from the sight of the two of them.And they just took the silver coins in their hands.

The two turned their heads in shock, but only saw Zhou Hao's back, and he had even walked a long way.The soldier with some cultivation level swallowed hard: "The young man just now is Lord Soul Master. With my level of spirit power, I can't even touch his edge."

"Soul masters are soul masters. If you have money, you can give money. But soul masters are rich. So young, a young man, with two silver soul coins, doesn't even blink his eyes. Let's go to drink tonight, hehehe."

"That's natural, go together, go together."

After all, this city is mainly based on agriculture. In the streets of the city, even the main roads, there are no big businesses. Almost all the people are setting up small stalls, buying things from their own fields, or some handmade gadgets. There are almost no hotels and restaurants on a larger scale. In the end, Zhou Hao found a slightly decent hotel by asking for directions.

Jixiang Liquor Restaurant, Zhou Hao looked at the name of this hotel, thinking that no matter what, it would be much better than spending the night in the wilderness, so he walked in. Just as he stepped into the store door, a pair of eyes were already staring at him. Zhou Hao was alert, but he saw the boss at the counter looking at him with a kind smile. This is a slightly fat middle-aged man with a fair complexion and a very kind face.

But his hand, which was blocked by the counter, had already put down a portrait, which was Zhou Hao's appearance.Before Zhou Hao could open his mouth, he had already greeted him personally, and asked with a smile: "Young man, may I ask, do you want to stay in a hotel or eat? I'm the only one in this city, hehe."

Zhou Hao didn't feel anything was wrong. He glanced at the other customers in the store and said casually: "Stay here, if you have anything you can use, just bring some."

"Okay, Erdan, take this guest to the guest room upstairs. Don't neglect me." The fat boss turned around and shouted, and a thin boy about the same age as Zhou Hao ran over and took him there. Second floor. At this time, Zhou Hao frowned slightly, because he always felt that the eyes of these two people were not right when they looked at him. Although they were very gentle and respectful enough, they seemed to have some inexplicable meaning, but he could not tell it. I can only give up this idea.

When Erdan came down from upstairs, the boss had already prepared the food. As soon as Erdan was about to take it, the fat boss said: "I'll go, you do what you should do, the lady's goal is here."

"Yes." Without any nonsense, Erdan walked out of the store through the back door, speeding up and disappearing into the dusk.

But at this time, in an unusually luxurious mansion near the royal palace in Silves City, Zhao Yue pouted with a dignified face, as if he came in front of a tall middle-aged man angrily.
