Rotten blood is here again!

Tian Xian stared at the crimson liquid in the bottle, and couldn't help but think of a miserable scene in the silent forest in his mind, Fang Liang's junior brother was locked in iron chains in his body, and he was driven by the rotten blood to drive those spirit eaters, and finally died......

I have collected a lot of information about the rotten blood, and I have also got a lot of practical descriptions about the rotten blood from the four girls, when the blood alliance first appeared on the human continent, it was famous for the rotten blood, and it has continued to grow, but in recent years, the blood alliance has begun to gradually come out of the darkness and began to operate openly in major countries, they have almost stopped using this terrifying power, but I didn't expect that this time the rotten blood not only reappeared, but also blatantly appeared at the junction of the two countries of the Longyuan Empire and the Shalit Empire。

"It seems that you really don't know about this. ”

Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Long Jiu's expression and asked in a condensed voice, "What do you mean by this?"

"This incident has already alarmed the Emperor, you have just returned from the Blood Alliance, and this time the place where the rotten blood appeared is very close to your newly built city, so my father thinks that you may have something to do with it. ”

Tian Xian said angrily: "How could I let this kind of thing appear near that city!"

"That's what I thought, too. Long Jiu smiled, "That's why I'm in such a hurry to find you, but I also believe that this matter is inseparable from you." ”

"You!"

"After all, this time it was you who made the Blood Alliance suffer a big loss, you made a big fuss in the Blood Alliance, and then the rotten blood appeared near your city, is it a coincidence?"

Tianxian couldn't help frowning and thinking.

"But no matter what, this matter has already implicated the Dragon Yuan Empire, and the influence of rotten blood must not be expanded, and if this matter can be resolved...... Father will be pleased. ”

"You don't care about how much merit you can achieve, and then let the Emperor look at it differently, right?"

Long Jiu smiled faintly. "As a prince, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Perhaps as a prince, you should think about how to protect your subjects from rotten blood, not how to gain power!"

"It's no different, if I can climb the throne, I will naturally be more sympathetic to my subjects. But if I'm just a prince who doesn't go into the stream, I will do nothing in my life. ”

Tian Xian knew that there was no point in arguing, so he raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the eldest lady left, "Since the rotten blood has appeared, haven't you investigated that woman?

"Her every move is under our watch, but she stayed here honestly before and after the outbreak of rotten blood, without any suspicious actions, and we have naturally interrogated her. But about the Seven Blood Branches, you must also know that they are not only the core of the Blood Alliance, but also the peripheral members of the Blood Alliance, and many things can't be asked at all, otherwise the Blood Alliance will not be able to let them come out and walk around with confidence. ”

The Seven Blood Branches are in charge of the connection between the major countries and the Blood Alliance, and they are a bridge, but they actually have empty titles. There is no actual power within the Blood Alliance, and he knows nothing about the core secrets within the Blood Alliance. Only after making merits and returning to the Blood Alliance at the age of fifteen will they become official core members, which Tian Xian has already heard the fourth girl explain very clearly.

In other words, now the Longyuan Empire has nothing to do with the eldest lady, although it knows that it may be the blood alliance that is playing tricks, but it may be meaningless to catch the eldest lady. On the contrary, the relationship with the Blood Alliance will quickly deteriorate, and it is likely to cause even greater losses.

"But do you just leave her alone?"

Seeing that Tianxian seemed to be a little unhappy, Long Jiu asked, "Why, this woman kidnapped your Guli, and you seem to be very dissatisfied with her." ”

Grievances can't be said. But Tianxian didn't feel very comfortable, the eldest lady and Gu Li ...... No matter how you think about it, you can't be a friend who can talk to.

"I'm not dissatisfied, I just feel that the Longyuan Empire is too helpless in this regard, but since His Highness has come to me, I guess I already have a way, right?"

"Of course, and the way is very simple!" Long Jiu's eyes flashed, and he regained a bit of his former brilliance.

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"Find the guy who is causing trouble on the border! Rotten blood has no intelligence, as long as it is a creature infected by rotten blood and moves, there will be a manipulator nearby! Bring him here! Kill him!"

Long Jiu slashed lightly, "In front of all the subjects!

Tian Xian immediately heard that something was wrong.

"Your Highness, what do you mean...... You can't ask me to do this, do you?"

"Of course, why would I come to you?"

Tianxian was speechless for a while.

"Your Highness, we are friends, and if you need help, I am obligated to do so, but what about your methods, strategies, your suggestions or tips, and you can't just throw this matter to me, right?"

"I'm sorry, but all you have in your hand is all the advice I can give you. ”

Tian Xian looked at the bottle of rotten blood in his hand, "That's it?"

"That's it. ”

Tian Xian looked at the sky, this seems to be a night that is very suitable for smashing the handsome face of a certain prince......

However, Tian Xian still resisted the adult's impulse, "Your Highness, please be smart." ”

Decisively refused, by the way, he stuffed the bottle of rotten blood into Long Jiu's hand, Tianxian stood up and said: "I have enough trouble, the place where the rotten blood appeared this time is very close to my newly built small city, but unfortunately it is not there after all, it is obviously aimed at the Longyuan Empire, I came to visit Gu Li this time, and I will leave soon, there are still endless things waiting for me at home, I am really lacking in skills." ”

Long Jiu was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "I know that your troubles are piled up, but this is an opportunity, an opportunity to solve a lot of troubles, if you don't grasp it, don't blame me for not helping you?"

"Opportunity?"

Long Jiu pushed the bottle of rotten blood back to Tianxian's side, and said lightly: "You have seen the Fourth Emperor Sister, you should know how fierce the competition within the imperial family is now, but fortunately, it is almost over, if you can help me complete this matter, I will be the only winner, and my status will be greatly improved, which means that I am a big step closer to the throne of the Great Emperor......"

"And you ......," Long Jiu pointed to Tianxian. "You will become a close friend of the Nine Emperor Princes, a strange envoy known to everyone, the greatest contributor to defeating the rotten blood and saving the people of the Empire, I can make you a legend of the Empire. ”

"Your Highness, I don't need fame and status. ”

"You need!" Long Jiu slowly stood up. A sharp light shot from his tired eyes, "Maybe you don't need it yourself, but you now have many friends, many people who rely on you, they are not as strong as you, they don't have the capital to be free and easy like you, they need shelter, they need a safe environment to survive, you don't just need strong combat power now." More power, power, fame and status!"

"I'll give you this!"

Long Jiu patted Tian Xian's shoulder, "Holy Spirit Temple, Blood Alliance...... These troubles are not worth mentioning in front of the powerful power of the Longyuan Empire, as long as you can become the real famous clan of the empire! I can guarantee with the identity of the prince that after you become a famous family, these troubles will no longer be troubles......

"Think about it...... The knights of the Holy Spirit Temple will salute you. The eldest lady will greet you with a careful smile, fame and status. It's not always as bad as you think......"

After listening to all of Long Jiu's words quietly, Tian Xian exhaled softly.

I have to admit that Long Jiu is a demagogic expert, and his words have an element of boasting, but the key points can be to the point, which makes people's hearts pound.

Tianxian felt that he must have been tempted, if it weren't for his previous experience.

"I'm sorry. Your Highness, I still have to refuse. ”

Long Jiu has been figuring out the temperament of Tianxian for a long time, and from Tianxian he has befriended the alien races rejected by humans, accepted Gu Li, who was originally an enemy, and passed with the prince who had left his homeland and the murderous lionman. and went deep into the blood alliance to rescue the four girls and other experiences and many contacts, Long Jiu saw that Tian Xian was a person who valued love and righteousness, and this time he used everyone as a bargaining chip to suppress Tian Xian, which was completely a means to take nine out of ten, and Tian Xian could not refuse at all.

But Tian Xian's answer shattered Long Jiu's wishful thinking.

"You...... Refusal?" Long Jiu looked at Tianxian in disbelief, "You...... Don't you want to make your friends safer, so that they are no longer threatened by the powerful powers, and the ordinary inhabitants of your city, don't you want them to have a good life?"

"Of course, but Your Highness, you can't give me what I want. Tianxian smiled helplessly, "Many things are not as simple as His Highness sees. ”

Long Jiu's face became a lot more ugly, "You...... Could it be that the Fourth Emperor Sister said something to you?"

Tian Xian suddenly felt bored, "No, the Fourth Highness didn't mention the matter of rotting blood to me, obviously she wants to solve this matter by her own strength, of course, it is more impossible to trust me." ”

Long Jiu's face twitched a few times, "You have to think clearly, this is a perfect opportunity!

"I'll go. ”

Long Jiu was slightly stunned, "You agreed?"

"No, I didn't! I'm just going to investigate. Tian Xian frowned, "Just like His Highness said, the reappearance of rotten blood may have something to do with me, and since it is near my city, I naturally can't ignore it, and I definitely can't allow this dirty thing to threaten my city." ”

Long Jiu was a little puzzled, "This doesn't seem to be any different from promising me." ”

Tian Xian smiled, and also reached out and patted Long Jiu's shoulder, "Your Highness, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Long Jiu didn't pay much attention to Tian Xian's obviously cross-border movements, "You said. ”

"You are so tired, whether it is physical or mental, the Long Jiu I saw for the first time in that wasteland is full of spirit, ambitious, calm, and elegant, giving me a feeling of being strategic, looking at the sky, and now Long Jiu ...... I only saw quick success. ”

Long Jiu was stunned, staring at Tianxian in disbelief, "I...... Eager for quick success?"

"The same anxiety, uneasiness, forced by all kinds of troubles, but in comparison, as a woman, the fourth highness is much calmer and calmer, I heard that the empire once had an empress, Your Highness, if you want to fight for this throne, it seems that there are still many places to work hard. ”

Long Jiu's eyes contracted violently, and he was a little speechless for a while.

"I will naturally investigate the matter of rotten blood, and I will inform His Highness as soon as I have the results, but I don't want this matter to have anything to do with me in the empire, I just need an identity that can easily walk in the empire, and the rest is troublesome, I hope Your Highness understands." ”

After a pause, Tian Xian said again: "There is more...... Regarding Gu Li's hope that His Royal Highness can take care of her more, I don't know when she became friends with the eldest lady, and I don't want to ask too much about her private affairs, but please Your Highness keep an eye on the eldest lady and don't make any trouble for her. ”

Saying that, Tian Xian picked up the bottle of rotten blood on the table, "I'll take this with me, it's useless to stay here, there's nothing wrong with this, right?"

Long Jiu Muran nodded, watching Tian Xian put the bottle of rotten blood into his arms, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you think...... Am I not as good as the Fourth Emperor Sister?"

"I don't know the Fourth Highness, I don't even know you, but I just met, the Fourth Highness left a deep impression on me, although she was assassinated and betrayed, she is still calm and modest, very emperorly, in contrast, now Your Highness is in a state of weakness, described as withered, has fallen behind. ”

Long Jiu's body shook, just in time to catch a glimpse of a broken mirror next to the collapsed house behind him, he walked over and picked up the broken lens and took a look at himself, looking at the thin young man inside, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"This ...... Is it?" Touching his face, Long Jiu couldn't believe it.

"Your Highness, do you want me to prescribe some medicine for you to replenish your body, it can be effective in a short time, and it is suitable for Your Highness's current state. ”

Long Jiu was stunned for a while, then threw away the mirror, "No...... No need, I, Long Jiu, don't want to rely on medicine to maintain my body yet. ”

Sitting down, Long Jiu looked a little frightened, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes widened, as if he had just seen something unclean.

"I didn't expect it...... I, I'm going to be like this......"

"Your Highness, have you been so busy that you haven't looked in the mirror for a long time?" Tian Xian shook his head, it was hard to imagine what Long Jiu was doing during this time.

Long Jiu sat silently for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "Rotten blood, if there is any news, notify me, and I will remember your favor...... Now, I'm going back to get some sleep. ”

Tian Xian smiled, "Your Highness is going well, don't send it." ”

Long Jiu left in despair, which made Tianxian sigh very much, looking at the majestic palace not far away, he couldn't help but think: A piece of Longtan Tiger's Den! (To be continued......)
