Chapter 228: Soldiers Descend on the City
The sand king woke up in a daze, the first time he experienced the feeling of the cold invading his body, the first time he realized that it was so comfortable to drink hot water into his stomach, and although the blanket on his body had some strange taste, this warm and soft feeling seemed to have not been experienced for a long time, all kinds of chaotic feelings were mixed together, and time seemed to have passed a century.
"There must be something wrong with this armor!"
In a trance, she heard a somewhat familiar voice. Slowly opening her eyes, she couldn't help but shudder the corners of her eyes slightly, because what caught her eyes was her familiar armor.
"I think there's something wrong with this armor!"
"But the snow didn't find anything unusual on the armor?"
"But she's completely two people when she's wearing her armor and when she's taking it off!"
"Although this armor is mixed with gold, it is already very old, and it is lightly damaged, what kind of mysterious thing could it really be?"
"But you also saw the previous sand king, and now this little girl is like this, aren't you surprised?"
"This ......"
They're talking about my armor......
The Sand King felt a mess in his mind, more uncomfortable than walking alone in the desert for ten days, without eating or drinking, she didn't want to listen to those chaotic voices at all, all she wanted was the armor in front of her.
It was the only thing that could put her at ease.
Moving her fingers, the Sand King found herself regaining some strength, and with an effort to raise her hand, she grabbed the armor right in front of her.
"She's awake!"
Dolma was pleasantly surprised when he saw the Sand King behind him. stepped forward to hold her little hand, touched her forehead and probed her temperature, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not so hot, it seems that this child is in good health, and he will get better after only one sleep." ”
As he spoke, Zhuoma brought a bowl of water from the side, picked up the sand king and whispered, "Drink saliva first, then eat something, and you will be fine soon." ”
The Sand King was lifted up weakly. I just want to drink some water. The water bowl was stopped by Tianxian.
Dolma was stunned, "You?"
"Give it to me. Tian Xian took the water bowl, and his fingers turned on the water bowl a few times, and the bowl of water came out of the steam. "She shouldn't have experienced such a cold. Suddenly stimulated. The cold air enters the body, and now you can't drink cold water. ”
Fold the bowl of boiling water in the two bowls a few times, and handed the water to the mouth of the sand king. "Drink slowly. ”
Sha Wang's eyes moved twice, still with a sick face, and he took a sip carefully, and then slowly drank the bowl of water.
"I mixed some herbs in the water, and I thought you wouldn't drink it so happily. ”
Zhuoma glared at Tianxian, "I said, why are you so considerate all of a sudden! ”
The sand king drank a bowl of water, felt a rumbling in his stomach, but felt much more energetic, licked his dry lips, "I...... Can I drink some more water?"
"Of course!" Dolma listened to the Sand King's words, and suddenly became happy, "Well, my sister will bring you water." ”
The Sand King nodded, but his gaze fell on the armor parts in Tian Xian's hand again.
Tian Xian shook the armor parts in his hand, saw her eyes move with it, and casually stuffed the armor into the past, "If you want it so much, I'll give it back to you first, but it's best if you can't stand up now, it's best not to think crookedly." ”
The Sand King felt very heavy and dizzy, she had never encountered such a situation since she was born, which made her a little overwhelmed, but keeping the parts of the armor made her feel much more at ease.
Zhuoma retrieved the water, this time directly to Tianxian, although now Tianxian has no power of the evil eye, but the residual flame breath to boil water is no problem at all.
After drinking another glass of water, the Sand King seemed to be in better spirits.
Everyone is a little skeptical about the identity of the Sand King now, so they naturally keep a considerable distance, but Dolma seems to like the Sand King very much, and I don't know if it's because she was a little girl not long ago.
Bringing some more food and re-wrapping the blanket for her, Dolma leaned closer to the fire and then straightened her long, yellowish hair.
The Sand King was not used to having strangers around her, but now she was powerless and could just let Dolma rub her hair.
"Little ghost, who are you?" Tian Xian deliberately bit the word "little ghost" very hard, he has always been the one who is the last in the age of everyone, Gu Li and Zhuoma have been shouting "little ghosts, little ghosts" all day long, this time Tian Xian finally has a sense of pleasure to release pressure......
"I'm the Sand King, the Ruler of the Desert!"
Zhuoma obviously didn't believe it, while gently combing her hair, she said softly: "Okay, don't force yourself, we all know what the sand king is like, you must have something to worry about appearing here, we may be enemies, but don't worry, I won't embarrass you, you are sick now, just rest well." ”
The Sand King's expression darkened slightly, "What do you want to say that you will believe? This king, is it unconvincing like that?"
Tian Xian rolled his eyes, "The Shalit army is already preparing to attack here, if you can get them to retreat, you will naturally be the Sand King." ”
"Yes!"
No one expected that this sick little girl would agree, but she immediately said, "But, I need my armor." ”
Tianxian immediately shook his head, "It's impossible, it's a different way for you to put on armor, I don't want to be buried in yellow sand here." ”
The Sand King fiddled with the armor parts in his hand, "Without the armor, they can't be ...... back"
"Wouldn't you be the Sand King without that armor?"
When the sand king heard Tianxian's words, his eyes trembled twice, and his eyes looked at Tianxian, colliding with Tianxian's scrutinizing gaze.
Tian Xian stared at her and said: "As far as we know, the Sand King is a powerful man about fifty years old, he does have a pair of golden armor, and he often wears it on his body, but he doesn't even take off his helmet all the time, I think the real Sand King can naturally retire as soon as he shows up, why do you have to wear armor?"
The Sand King fell silent, and also avoided Tianxian's gaze.
"Besides, the Sand King's armor is obviously not yours either. Who the hell are you? Why do you have to say that you are the Sand King?" Tian Xian asked very softly this time, because in the short eye contact with the Sand King just now, I don't know if it was the reason for the weakness of the other party's illness, Tian Xian seemed to see grievances, pain and helplessness in her eyes.
"I'm really the Sand King, as long as I have my armor......"
Tian Xian interrupted her lightly, "I'm curious to know now, where is your previous generation of Sand Kings now?"
The Sand King's body trembled, "This...... There is no need to sue a foreigner!"
"Black ......" Xue suddenly gently pulled the corner of Tianxian's clothes, and her eyes fell on the sand king at the same time.
This subtle move made the Sand King's eyes show a nervous look that could not be concealed, and his body couldn't help shrinking away from the snow.
The sky and the snow are heart-to-heart. Although only snow can actively feel the idea of idleness. But now Tianxian understands Xue's intentions very well, she wants to check the spirit of the Sand King and directly identify her identity.
"Forget it, I don't think there's any need to do it anymore. Tianxian shook his head. Snow looked at Tian Xian slightly strangely. But it didn't stick to it either. sat quietly beside Tian Xian.
Although he didn't know what the brief exchange between Tianxian and Xue represented, the Sand King felt a huge threat, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.
"Rest assured. We won't hurt you. Tian Xian said to the Sand King very formally, "Although we have a way to get the truth directly, but that is too rude, and we don't have that much effort now, we need to let the besieging Shalit army leave immediately." ”
"Only...... As long as you let me put on the armor. ”
"That's impossible, because I'm afraid I'll have to wear that armor. ”
The Sand King was suddenly surprised, "What did you say?"
Tian Xian took out another armor part from behind him and said: "Since you said that you can retreat as long as you wear armor, then instead of letting you put on it to threaten us, it is better for me to come safely, anyway, I can't recognize who I am in the armor, as long as I say that I am captured, they will obediently retreat." ”
The Sand King was stunned to find a pile of armor parts scattered behind Tian Xian, and when she fell asleep, Tian Xian had already retrieved all the armor parts from the desert.
"No...... No!!"
The sand king shouted, and suddenly rushed towards Tian Xian, wanting to snatch the armor in Tian Xian's hand, but she was still very weak now, and before Tian Xian's body had softened, Tian Xian hurriedly supported her, but she reached out and grabbed the armor part, "This...... It's not for you!...... Absolutely ......"
Tianxian had no choice but to pull her away gently, and said helplessly: "I don't want to wear such a thing either, but there is no way, as for your identity, we will find out later, you had better think about how to explain it to us when the time comes." ”
"Also...... Give it back to me, give it back to ......" The sand king struggled, but she didn't even have the strength to walk now, how could she snatch back the armor, and was immediately pressed back into the blanket by Tianxian.
Suddenly, a sharp and long whistle sounded outside the parapet!
Tian Xian quickly stood up, his expression solemn, "They're going to attack." ”
The Sand King gasped, "No, this is the whistle of the array, it is a preparation for the attack, and now it is too late to return the armor to me......"
His eyes kept moving back and forth on the armor behind Tian Xian, "If you want to stop them, you must let me go, even if you put on the armor, you will definitely reveal your identity soon......"
Tian Xian actually didn't really plan to wear this armor, this thing seems to be a bit evil, Tian Xian won't take this risk casually, it's just a show, but at this time, the Shalit army outside is ready to attack!
"Let's go and keep an eye first, Sister Dolma, you take care of her here first. ”
"Good!" Dolma nodded quickly.
Tianxian and his party quickly went up to the parapet and looked out with solemn expressions.
Outside, there were hundreds of thousands of Shalit troops, and the black pressure was almost all over the desert, everyone was full of grief and indignation, and the scimitar in their hands had already been unsheathed, and the cold light was shining.
Dole and the guards of the Twenty Sand Kings stood at the forefront, their faces calmer, but their eyes still showed excitement that could not be concealed.
The Sand King came alone to meet the enemy, and even sent the Sand Slave back, but after a sudden sandstorm, he disappeared without a trace, and a spy reported that the sand king seemed to have picked up a lot of things in the desert and went back, which was the Sand King's armor.
"This number. I'm afraid the Scattered Spirit Demon Array can't bear it. Looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops outside, Tian Xian's expression was quite grim.
"Is that little girl really the Sand King?" Gu Li still wondered, "If it really is, it is feasible to let her temporarily withdraw from the army." ”
Tianxian shook his head, "I'm not completely sure, her situation seems a little strange, but we don't have time to ask, but what I can be sure of is that I can't let her wear that armor, that armor is absolutely weird!"
"It's okay for us to let her stand here. Isn't it the Sand King, are those Shalits still not clear?"
"That's exactly what I'm worried about. Tianxian frowned.
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm not sure. But I always felt that it was very strange here, as if there was something we ignored or didn't understand at all, and that little girl still didn't want her to show up for the time being. ”
"You ......," Gu Li was angry, "Do you have a way to repel hundreds of thousands of troops?"
"The Scattered Demon Array can still hold up for a while. Let's figure it out!"
He was talking. Suddenly, there was another sharp whistle from the opposite side. Tianxian and the others suddenly tensed their nerves, but the opposite side did not attack, and Dole slowly leaned over with twenty personal guards.
"They want to talk to us!" said Tian Xian with a happy eyebrow.
Dole led the men closer to the parapet. Cautiously stopped fifty paces away, looked at the people on the parapet and shouted, "Foreigners, where is our Lord Sand King?"
Tianxian and the others were slightly moved in their hearts when they heard this, Dole actually brought someone to find the sand king, if so, then the possibility that the little girl is the sand king is very high, but of course, this may also be just a trap.
Tian Xian rolled his eyes, "Your own master, how do I know where I am?" We were talking, and suddenly a sandstorm appeared, and I naturally came back, didn't your sand king go back?"
Hearing this, Dole's face turned pale, and he pointed to the sky, and his fingers trembled and said: "Nonsense! The Sand King has not returned yet! You ...... You despicable foreigners must have used some shameless means to frame him!"
Tian Xian and the others looked at each other, and they were a little strange in their hearts, if Shalit's army was going to attack, it seemed that there was no need to find such a reason at all, Doler said this, could it be that Shawang was really that little girl?
Tianxian said tentatively: "I heard that the sand king can control the sandstorm, but now that he is old after all, he may be accidentally buried under the sand, why don't you hurry up and dig it, what are you looking for me to do?"
Dole shouted angrily: "Lord Sand King naturally could control the sandstorm twenty years ago! How could you be buried under the sand! You despicable villains! You must have taken advantage of the sandstorm to use shameless means to sneak attack Lord Sand King! I advise you to release the Sand King immediately! Otherwise, if our hundreds of thousands of soldiers break through here, you will turn to dust!"
Tianxian was a little puzzled, if the Sand King was really that little girl, Dole should at least hesitate, after all, she was too young, and there should still be an accident in the sandstorm, but Dole's attitude did not think that the Sand King would have an accident at all, and insisted that the Sand King had been accidental, so ...... Is that little girl the Sand King, or what is the relationship with the Sand King?
"Ahem! Okay, you keep saying that we framed the Sand King, but I obviously had a good talk with the Sand King at the time, and also reached a settlement condition, and now he suddenly disappeared, how can you prove that I framed him?"
Dole seems to be a loyal warrior and a quick talker, and Tian Xian feels that he can dig up some valuable information from him.
When Tianxian and Doller confronted each other, the little Sand King sat in front of the fire less than thirty meters away from the parapet, wrapped in a thick blanket, holding a bowl of hot water, and drinking it in small sips.
Dolma seemed to like the little blonde girl with silver eyes, burning the fire, arranging her hair, and wiping her dusty little face.
The medicine that Tian Xian gave her was taking effect, and the scorching qi was radiating in her body, slowly dispelling the cold, and although she shivered a few times occasionally, she also clearly felt that her body was recovering.
"Wipe your hands. Dolma pulled one of the Sand King's small hands and wiped it slowly.
The Sand King is a little strange, she doesn't quite understand what Dolma is doing, the wind and sand in the desert are blowing all the time, and this kind of cleanup is meaningless.
"Girls have to be clean and beautiful, especially girls of your age. Dolma seemed to see her confusion and said with a light smile.
The Sand King was silent, quietly watching Dolma carefully wipe his hands, and suddenly felt something strange slowly growing in his heart.
Although it is now the status of a captive, it ...... It seems that these people are not embarrassed by themselves, and they have attacked the girl before, and this matter seems to have been completely forgotten.
He was not tied up, nor was he tortured, but he was wrapped in a thick blanket and roasted here, and seemed to have drunk some medicine to resist the cold, and his body was warm.
Since I was a child, I have never been groomed by anyone, and no one has wiped my face......
If my mother were alive, maybe she wouldn't have done it, and the women of the desert don't care about that......
And since I was a child, all I have is yellow sand......
Of course, I am not unfamiliar with these things, and I will never be shaken by this, maybe this is just a trick of the enemy, just trying to convince myself, I know this method very well.
It's like the woman in front of her, she treats herself very kindly, but if she still doesn't show herself as they expected after a while, it must be a different face......
There's nothing to be nostalgic about.
"Mmmmmm
Zhuoma looked left and right at the sand king who was quite clean, "Wait a minute, eat something, sleep well, get up and take a hot bath, don't be afraid, that little ghost said that you just haven't experienced the cold, that's why you'll get sick, but it will be fine soon." ”
Bathe...... (To be continued......)
