The old marshal took the eldest prince at the cost of a simple paper drawing.

Tian Xian knew that he was too impulsive, and when he saw this painting, his brain was completely unable to think.

Alone on the roof of the town hall, he lay idly on the sloping sand tiles, let the hot sun bask on him, and carefully thought about everything before and after.

However, when I thought that Yaoyao, who was only eleven years old, had fallen into the hands of the enemy...... Tianxian felt that the light in the sky was flickering, and he couldn't open his eyes, and he was even more upset.

Just when Tian Xian was feeling extremely bored, a small parasol appeared above Tian Xian's head.

"Why did you come here again, now this place has become a secret base for sad people, as the Grand Duke, shouldn't you reduce the number of times you come here. Ryusi's face appeared behind the parasol with a mysterious smile.

"I want to be quiet. Tian Xian sighed.

"Of course, I don't really want to stay in this kind of place with a man full of resentment, but I'm afraid that you won't figure out what this is all about even if you stay quiet for a year. ”

Tian Xian knew that Long Si's wisdom was above him, but he didn't bother to pay attention to her at this time, and turned around and lay on his side directly, out of sight and out of mind.

Long Si took back the parasol, put it on his shoulder, and sighed helplessly: "Kindly came to tell Sù why did you go to find Yaoyao, but you didn't listen, forget it...... No wonder there are fewer and fewer well-wishers in this world. ”

After saying that, Ryusi turned around and left.

Tian Xian got up and grabbed Long Si's hand, "Do you know where Yaoyao is?"

Long Si turned around lightly and glanced up and down, "What, don't you want to be quiet now?"

Tian Xian hurriedly laughed, and quickly wiped a piece of sand tile with his sleeve, "Lord Overseer, please take a seat!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Long Si sat down and threw the parasol to Tianxian, "Hold it for me." ”

Tian Xian chose the direction of the sun to stand and honestly held an umbrella for Long Si.

Long Si simply lay there, stretched his waist, and looked comfortable, "It's ......still not good for your health to stay up late," Long Si said with a yawn.

In front of the beauty, the light clothes of the desert clearly depict the girl's uneven figure, and the heart-pounding curves and soft and clear are engraved on the clothes.

Usually I will peek a few times in my spare time, but now I don't have the heart to do so, because Long Si hummed comfortably a few times, and it looked like he was going to take a nap.

"You...... Do you know where Yaoyao is?" Tian Xian had to ask first.

Ryusi half-squinted, as if the sunlight in the sky was still dazzling, and did not answer.

"If you knew...... Anything is ......"

Long Si opened her eyes violently, and two cold rays of light shot out of her eyes, stopping Tian Xian's words.

"Humph!"

Ryusi snorted dissatisfied, sat up and flattened his shirt.

"You've made the same mistake again, and I reminded you. ”

The sky was idle.

Ryusi reached himself and asked, "Who am I?"

"You...... It's Dragon Four. ”

Ryusi shook his head, "I am the Minister of Internal Affairs of Fire Leaf City, in charge of state affairs, I am the Overseer of Fire Leaf City, the titular commander of the alien army, your friend, your comrade-in-arms, the person you have to absolutely trust, and the person who will help you wholeheartedly." ”

"Of course, you can call me Ryusi, the name doesn't mean anything. Long Si looked into the distance, and there was a faint loneliness in his eyes.

Tianxian was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Hearing Long Si's words, Tian Xian couldn't help but feel a burst of dizziness, which was the relaxation after being nervous.

With a sigh, Tian Xian sat down directly, right next to Long Si.

"The sun is on me. "Ryusi looks at the scorching sun.

Tian Xian smiled and put the umbrella on her head, "I really should give you an umbrella to make amends." ”

"Really?"

"I forgot that you are my most reliable friend and will definitely help me, and this mistake can sometimes be fatal, I apologize. ”

Ryusi took a breath and calmed down a bit, "It's not too stupid after all, you should be able to remember it after two times." ”

"There won't be a third time. ”

Long Si nodded, "So who is Yaoyao, is it just your cousin?"

Tianxian thought for a while, "She is the youngest daughter of the second uncle and my cousin, but ...... Not only that, our clan is together, the children have grown up together, she is like my own sister, I apologize for her when she does something wrong, and she helps me hide it when I go out to do bad things, probably ...... That's it. ”

Long Si couldn't help but look at Tian Xian, and didn't turn his eyes until he finished speaking, "Family affection...... Really?"

"Yes. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this kind of feeling, there is only suspicion and framing between our brothers and sisters. Long Si smiled helplessly when he said this, "However, I can give you a warning in this matter." ”

"Warning?"

"Yes, although I don't know exactly what kind of emotion it is, it's your weakness, haven't you discovered it yet?"

Looking at Tianxian's somewhat surprised look, Long Si continued: "It has nothing to do with feelings, Yaoyao is just an eleven-year-old little girl, and it has nothing to do with our plans, her life and death are like a small grass in the sky, we can't see it, we can't hear it, we can't feel it, and it can't affect us, but the relationship between her and you has made you lose control several times, I heard Gu Li say that you almost did something to the old marshal this time." ”

Tian Xian had to nod his head, "At that time...... I can't think anymore. ”

Long Si patted Tianxian on the shoulder, "This is your strength, we can all live because you have this friendship, but this is also your weakness, now this weakness has been magnified by Yaoyao, and the enemy is taking advantage of this weakness to attack you." ”

"What?" Tian Xian looked at Long Si in surprise, "The enemy is using Yaoyao?"

Long Si smiled coldly, "Otherwise, where do you think that portrait came from?"

"Show me the portrait. Ryusi stretched out his hand.

Tian Xian hurriedly handed over the portrait to Long Si.

Long Si didn't look at this portrait, but closed his eyes directly in front of Tian Xian, touched it carefully with his hand, and then put it on his face and rubbed it twice, and stretched out the **** and licked it twice.

In the end, he carefully sniffed the smell of this piece of paper, and Long Si directly returned the portrait to Tianxian, and then opened his eyes.

"You...... Are you just now?" Tianxian almost thought that Ryusi was going to eat this portrait, sniffing and licking it, and almost took a few bites.

"The paper and the paint are both tributes from the south, although the face has been folded a few times, it has been smooth and traceless, and the brush used is a special product of the empire, this painting was painted in the place where someone of status in the palace was, the paint has a deep taste, and it seems that it has been repeatedly modified, that is to say, it is not a stealing of pen and paper, but a pen and paper drawn by normal means. ”

Tianxian couldn't help but open his mouth wide in astonishment when he heard this.

Looking at Tianxian's surprised appearance, Long Si couldn't help but smile slightly, "Don't look at me like this, I am also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as a princess, I must have the consciousness of marrying for the empire at any time, I don't want to be disliked by my husband at that time, it is best to be a good student." ”

"Of course. Ryusi's smile widened on his face, "I don't need these things anymore, and the people who dare to marry me ...... I haven't been born yet!"

To tell the truth, Tian Xian felt that it was indeed difficult for Long Si to marry in this life, this girl was only less than twenty years old, and she had already shown extreme strength and shrewdness, and even had the courage to strategize and fight on the battlefield, and her own strength was extraordinary, and she had to crush the vast majority of men in terms of strength and wisdom.

If she were an elf, she would definitely be more suitable to be an elven queen than Luna, and maybe the elven clan would be strong from now on.

When Tian Xian was surprised, Long Si had already restrained the sharp aura of his own declaration, and turned back to the topic, "So, this portrait was drawn by someone with status in the imperial capital in a corner of the palace. ”

Tian Xian's whole body was shocked when he heard this, "You mean Yaoyao is in the palace of the Longyuan Empire!"

"Quite possibly!" Ryusi nodded directly.

Suddenly, Tianxian stood up.

But the two beams of gaze made Tian Xian feel a sense of disappointment.

Looking back, Long Si had already put away his gaze and looked into the distance.

Silently, Tianxian sat down again.

Long Siyang lowered his eyebrows, "It's okay, you woke up by yourself for the third time." ”

Tianxian muttered for a while, "I want to calm down, calm down......"

"Barely you are qualified, I realize my own shortcomings, then I must warn you again, Yaoyao's matter, I'm afraid it's very complicated, it's far from what we thought before, it's just that the enemy has kidnapped her, waiting for the opportunity to threaten you. ”

"They...... What do you want?" Tian Xian tried his best to restrain himself, his voice still trembling slightly, "She's just a child! she's only in her early elevens!

"Yaoyao herself is naturally worthless, what they want is you!"

"Then why don't you come yet...... Why?"

"It's already here, just this morning. ”

Long Si suddenly stared at Tian Xian, "Don't you realize it, the enemy is already attacking us!"

"I ...... I don't really understand!"

Long Si's eyes began to shine, "The old marshal is an extremely loyal and upright person, he doesn't lie, he said that he didn't know the origin of the portrait, then it is almost certain that he was sent without knowing it, and your reaction when you saw the portrait and the old marshal's ignorance was the fuse of this attack!"

"You mean...... Someone wants me to kill the old marshal!"

"As long as you hurt him, then not only will this plan to exchange prisoners completely fail, but we and the Longyuan Empire will also become undying enemies, and the Longyuan Empire will attack with all its strength when we are dishonest and the commander-in-chief is victimized, at that time, ......"

Tianxian couldn't help but shudder, and instantly fell into an ice cellar.

Enemies of the Longyuan Empire are to gather forces against the Longyuan Empire, not to bring down the Longyuan Empire, if the other party does its best, then maybe every Qiē will be drowned in the steel army of the Longyuan Empire. ”

"Old marshal...... Is it bait?"

"No!" Ryusi frowned, "This kind of bait is too valuable, but there is another thing worth paying attention to"

"Where?"

"What do you think...... Who can send the old marshal, who has not shown much face, to our desolate frontier in person?"

Tianxian's eyes couldn't help but widen.

There is only one answer, Emperor Longyuan!

The exchange of prisoners, the only thing that can be done by the generalissimo himself can only be the intention of Emperor Longyuan! There is no other possibility!

"But how could Emperor Longyuan be willing to let the old marshal come to such a dangerous place? Didn't you just say ......?"

"That's good!" Ryusi's eyes flashed with a cold light, "In other words, the Great Emperor sent him, but the Great Emperor didn't know the danger, how about it...... Don't you think it's a little weird?"

"You mean...... Is there a third party other than us interfering?"

"Not bad!"

Long Si said quickly: "It can only be that the Great Emperor sent the old marshal here, and neither the Great Emperor nor the old marshal knows what that portrait represents, let alone the danger, the old marshal does not have a personal and powerful guard by his side this time, this is obviously a conspiracy! I want to make the old marshal's visit an irreparable rift between us and the Longyuan Empire! and even want to take the opportunity to completely eradicate us!"

"Moreover, another important question is who provided this portrait!" Long Si accentuated his tone, "If it is the Emperor or the old marshal who has kidnapped Yaoyao, they would otherwise know the danger of doing so, obviously, it is not them! It is not the power of the Empire, if it is the power of the Empire, as long as the Emperor asks the reason for this portrait, he will definitely know the danger, then there is only one answer!"

"A third-party force provided this portrait to Emperor Longyuan, and named the old marshal to go out in person, saying that only the old marshal personally went with this portrait, and he would definitely be able to save the great prince without much effort......! That's where we are today!"

Tian Xian couldn't help but slowly gritted his teeth, "Third-party forces...... Is it a blood alliance?"

"The odds are slim!"

Tianxian thought that Long Si would support her judgment, but she didn't expect her to almost veto.

"The Blood Alliance is indeed the first force to reveal to us that it knows the news of Yaoyao, and it also sent dead soldiers when the palace of the Longyuan Empire was in turmoil, it seems that they are inextricably linked with the empire, but...... They should have fallen more against us!"

"We defeated the Longyuan Empire, and the entire continent smelled that the group forces might be redivided after the arrival of the alien forces, and the Blood Alliance immediately made it clear that it was good for us, and we need support now, and the Longyuan Empire has always disliked the Blood Alliance's activities in the territory, the most correct thing for the Blood Alliance is to show favor to us now, and give us some help, at worst, it is also to watch from the sidelines, neither side will take a stand, and there is absolutely no reason to help the Longyuan Empire eradicate us. ”

Tianxian's brain is a little messy, these conspiracies and tricks, Tianxian is not good at it.

"Holy Spirit Temple?" Tian Xian could only guess this, on this continent, it seemed that only the Holy Spirit Temple was eager to destroy this city once and for all.

"It's possible, but it's not right. Long Si sighed, "If the Holy Spirit Hall catches Yaoyao, then they should come to you immediately, they are huge, and they are not far behind the Longyuan Empire, there is no need to sneak up on the Longyuan Empire to do this." ”

"Who could that be...... Where the hell is Yaoyao?"

Long Si pondered for a while, and suddenly said softly, "Yiqiē, maybe I have been planning for a long time." ”

Tian Xian heard that there was something wrong with Long Si's tone, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What has been planned for a long time?"

Long Si simply lay down again, spreading his limbs and looking at the sky, "The Longyuan Empire is being eroded by some kind of force. ”

"Erosion?"

"I'm coming to the desert...... It's been a while. Long Si twisted his body, the sand tile was very hard, but he could still fall into memory, "That old servant of mine, do you remember?"

"Blessing? We buried him with our own hands. Tian Xian remembers that the loyal old servant who has always protected Long Si, the same identity and amazing age as a fan, several loyal ministers, but in the end he wanted to kill Long Si, this matter has always been a mystery.

"Before that, there was a prince who was poisoned. Long Si recalled, "Poisoning this kind of thing is a very despicable method, and the emperor will probably not allow it, this matter is ...... Most likely, it wasn't someone from the palace who did it. ”

But it seems impossible for people outside the palace to move inside the palace. "Tianxian thinks it's unlikely, the palace of the Longyuan Empire is not a playground, it is usually heavily guarded, and if you want to go in and poison a prince unknowingly and then retreat, this requires the ability of Tongtian.

Until now, there is still no clue who killed the prince, and this murderer is an extremely powerful character.

"Do you remember what Laifu said when he died?" asked Ryusi again.

He said...... "Tian Xian began to frown. He said he saw a real miracle, that he was inspired by God to do the right thing. ”

"Yes, gods. Ryusi muttered, "But it is impossible for the gods to give Laifu any revelation, nor can they have any hatred for me as a princess, this is man-made, it is a deception, and I remember you said to me when you came back from the Eastern Kingdom, where you encountered many strange races blocking the way, but some led the way for you." ”

Tian Xian had already guessed what Long Si meant, "You mean...... Barbarot!?"

Long Siyi got up and stared at Tianxian's eyes, "Don't you think this qiē is too strange and too coincidental? Those aliens also said that they saw miracles, and it was the meaning of the gods that led you to the way, which was almost exactly the same as Laifu's words." ”

"This ...... Maybe it's just a coincidence. ”

"A prince was poisoned, and the old servants loyal to my family for several generations wanted to kill me, the empire was always in turmoil, and finally staged a tragedy of bloodshed in the palace and the emperor's heirs killing each other, and now, a conspiracy between the Emperor and the old marshal is in front of us! My Grand Duke! Don't you think the Longyuan Empire is getting stranger and stranger?"

"What do you mean......"

"There is a force behind the scenes that is influencing the direction of the empire, and it is likely that it has somehow won the trust of the Emperor, a qiē...... It's all a huge conspiracy!"

"The mastermind behind the scenes, maybe it's Barbarot, maybe it'...... And what a madman like him. ”

I listened to it all day, and the more I listened, the more I felt reasonable.

The situation of the Longyuan Empire seems to be explainable, but when you look at it together, it is definitely a little unusual, especially the old servant of Long Si, Laifu, he is definitely affected by some kind of extremely powerful distortion before he wants to kill the master, this powerful power must not only affect Laifu alone, maybe there will be some people in the Longyuan Empire......

I shudder at the thought of being idle these days.

Could it be that the turmoil in the palace was also secretly fuelled by this force? Even today, when the old marshal came?

"Anyway, Yaoyao is likely to be in the palace of the Longyuan Empire now, right?"

"That's right, most likely!" replied Ryūsi flutteringly.

Tianxian thought for a while, "Thank you, I understand." ”

Long Siyi grabbed Tian Xian, who turned around to leave, "What do you understand?"

Tian Xian looked at Long Si's scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly raised his finger and tapped it on her forehead, Long Si was stunned, and when he reached out to hit, Tian Xian had already withdrawn his hand.

"I want to speed up the war with the Longyuan Empire, quickly gather a force group, the enemy is eyeing the Longyuan Empire, the faster I move, the faster his movements must follow, I think it won't take long for me to see Yaoyao, she is my weakness, and the enemy is absolutely reluctant to let her die." ”

Long Si let go of Tianxian and turned around silently, "I'm glad you think so, I'm really afraid that you will rush into the palace by yourself, but ...... I'm sorry for giving you the choice. ”

Tian Xian looked in the direction of the Longyuan Empire, as if he was saying to himself, and as if he was saying to Long Si: "Yaoyao's matter, since it is no longer simple, it can't be so simple to save her back, I understand...... I will block all attacks until the day when the other party has to let Yaoyao see me!"

Carefully put the portrait in his arms, Tianxian turned around and left, "Save Yaoyao, I will break that mongrel into ten thousand pieces!"

There is only one dragon four left on the roof, and the parasol is inserted diagonally in the brick cracks, still shading the dragon four.

Long Si lay down weakly, feeling that his body was steamed and roasted by the sand tiles and the sun in the sky at the same time, soft.

What is it like to be cared for, loved, and even protected by a man or a brother......

Is it stronger than the feeling of the sun roasting on your face?

Long Si rolled around the roof aimlessly a few times, and finally stood up, his face was still indifferent, "Most people's feelings are really superfluous for me......"

Picking up the parasol, Ryusi walked briskly off the roof.

At noon, the great prince was taken away, and at dusk, the cavalry messenger of the Longyuan Empire had already delivered the war letter to the town hall.

If he still refuses to exchange and kills the Nine-Emperor Prince, the million-strong army of the Longyuan Empire will come to the city.

"Look, how hateful are the faces of these great empires, and they are still smiling when they negotiate with us, and they will turn their faces immediately when they are redeemed, and they should have known how many more should be arrested. Tian Xian tossed the war book aside and looked around at everyone in the town hall, "Next time, we must still defeat the army of the Longyuan Empire, and we must show our special strength, so that other forces can really consider falling to our side." ”

"The total population of the elves is only 10,000, and most of the dead and wounded before were high elves, but now only about 1,000 people can fight. Luna shook her head slightly.

"The whole of the Lion Clan can go to war!" Tu Ge said forcefully.

"But the entire population of the lion people is less than a thousand, so should the children crawling on the ground also go to war?" Luna glared at Tugo.

Tu Ge didn't dare to say anything.

"There are a lot of my fighters. The little sand king spoke softly, "The population of the desert people is not as small as the outside world thinks. ”

"But it won't be more than the army of the Dragon Yuan Empire. Luna interrupted her, "And Shalit's specialty is to fight in the desert, without armor, without mounts, and with a short scimitar, he can't fight cavalry on flat ground at all. ”

"We have deserts. ”

"The desert is not an alien race!" Luna emphasized, "We have repelled the Longyuan Empire for the first time, but only received some ambiguous praise and alliances, we need a chance to show our strength, the desert can no longer be an absolute factor, and besides, this time the Longyuan Empire must be prepared, and it will not be so easy to deal with again." ”

Long Si said on the side: "In the early years of the empire, it opened up its territory, fought everywhere, encountered many strange battlefields, and often suffered heavy losses, but in the end they all conquered each other, and the sandstorm would no longer be effective, if it was only fought on the desert border. ”

"We can't win head-on!" Gu Li concluded, "but now that the Holy Spirit Temple and the Blood Alliance have clearly expressed their willingness to support us, maybe ......"

"If you want them to send troops, I'm afraid they won't work. The fourth girl shook her head, "And even if it is feasible, it can't be too much, it still can't resist the army of the Longyuan Empire, now we don't have to think about gathering enough troops to fight a tough battle, but how to win with less." ”

The crowd fell silent.

Pondering...... I gradually felt anxious.

Excluding the Shalit warriors, Leaf Fire did not have any troops, only a few hundred security soldiers, and it was only after the arrival of the elves and lionmen that some guards were strengthened.

The elven warriors who fought last time were almost the vast majority of the elven clan's combat power, and the city was simply impossible to defend.

If the Longyuan Empire really used a million troops to kill it directly, then the dead corpses would be enough to crush the city.

What to do?

For a while, no one could come up with a suitable solution.

Tianxian suddenly smiled, "I think you all missed one thing." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Tianxian.

"Are you paying attention?" Luna was strange, most of the people who wanted to pay attention at this time were the four girls and the dragon four, and Tian Xian was always staring.

"We don't have to limit ourselves to the elves and lions to show their absolute combat strength, they are not enough in number, they are not that powerful at all, we just need to let everyone know that this city, and we will never be captured, and that's fine. ”

"It's not the same, we need the strength of the elves and lions to defend this place. ”

"Yes, but it doesn't take a lot of people. "The day is a little bit of a joke that worries everyone.

"Gamina, come here!" beckoned to Gamina.

Gamina was stunned, she didn't expect Tianxian to call her at this time.

Quickly came to Tian Xian, Gamina was about to pounce on the set, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly dressed up, and bowed to Tian Xian with a very graceful posture, "Gamina has seen the master." ”

Everyone couldn't help but shout, that little wild cat had learned so well now.

Tian Xian is also amazing, etiquette is not used repeatedly to appear stiff and insincere, and Gamina doesn't know how many times she has practiced to be so natural and smooth.

After saluting, she straightened up, and Gamina immediately revealed her true form, squinting her eyes and ears and moving excitedly, "Master!, how is it?

Tianxian couldn't help laughing, "It's hard for you to practice endlessly like this, give you three days off and go to the city for a walk!"

"The master is so nice!" said Gamina, leaning over and holding her idle arm.

Now, Gamina is less afraid of idleness, and the murderous concept of the master is gradually changing in Kamina's simple thoughts.

"However, in three days, I want you to do something, only success, not failure!"

Gamina looked at Tianxian in surprise, this was the first time Tianxian had something specific to do for her, "Yes! Gamina must have done it for her master!"

"The Longyuan Empire has assembled a large army, why does it take ten days and a half to do it?"

"It's on the border, and there is no garrison, so if you really want to mobilize a million troops, I'm afraid it will take more than a month. ”

"Enough, in a few days, I might have a surprise. Tian Xian clenched his fists hard, "Now find a way to buy a war horse! ”

Luna wondered, "Elves and lionmen don't fight on horseback. ”

"When you are pursuing, you can save a lot of effort. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

After briefly explaining what he had to say, Tian Xian immediately returned to the depths of the desert.

After a whole day of exposure to the desert sun, the defensive array did not produce any changes, and the weak energy automatically operated in the formation, and converged on the idols in the array.

Without activating the defensive array, it can still operate, and Tian Xian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he found this, but also a little joyful.

This shows that this defensive array actually doesn't need much energy spar to urge, it has the property of absorbing the surrounding natural energy, and I'm afraid this is also the reason why it can operate well for two thousand years.

Carefully examining the idol, there was nothing abnormal, and there was no problem with the way and angle of the idol's energy, and it was like a copy of the bottom of the lake in the Silent Forest.

God's Domain......

Tian Xian silently recited this word in his heart.

The necessary conditions for the advent of the gods, the necessary conditions for their existence, will destroy the ultimate demon hand of this world.

And since it is a Fengtai, without the free shuttle ability of the portal, it can only be directly descended through the world barrier after constructing the divine domain around the Fengtai.

Until then, the deity didn't know about it.

Of course, the realm of the gods has been established, and the one qiē here should not have ceased to exist.

"What are the chances of success?" asked Tian Xian softly.

The Evil Eye jumped on the ends of Tianxian's hair, "Are you asking what is the chance of turning to dust......?" Probably 100 percent. ”

"That said, there is still some hope. ”

"Hmph, boy, that's one of the reasons I don't like it, it's too persistent!"

"I don't want you to like me. Tian Xian smiled,

"To be honest, it's too late for you to regret it now, this is just a god statue, and it will ruin him directly, and it will be a hundred. ”

Tianxian shook his head, "Before I die, I may never find this kind of thing again." (To be continued.) )
