Chapter 488: Fees
On top of the boulder, Tian Xian was signing a pledge.
"The lord of the country doesn't have to mind, in fact, the blood sect didn't want the lord to compensate for anything, but this time the lord of the country made too much trouble, so ...... There must be an account to the people. The attendant of the Blood Sect stood in front of Tian Xian very politely, and it was the second time he had explained these words.
"I understand, but the compensation should be deserved, and it just so happens that I have a lot of money in hand recently. ”
The attendant took the letter of guarantee signed by Tian Xian, put it in his arms without looking at it, and said, "There is one more thing, please ask the lord to deal with it earlier." ”
"What's wrong again?"
The attendant pointed in the direction of the city, "The sword of the lord of the kingdom is still stuck over there, and it should have been sent back to the lord of the kingdom, but the sword is extremely heavy and no one can move it, so ......"
"Oh, you said the broken sword, huh...... I really can't throw it away. Tian Xian showed a helpless face, "Okay, I'll go back and get it back later today." ”
"Thank you for your understanding. ”
"You go back and sue the Blood Sect, just say that this time it was me who was not good, and I didn't take into account the special situation underground, and as a result, there was such a big disturbance, and the city was destroyed, I will definitely pay attention to it next time." ”
"Where does the lord of the country say, don't mention these little things, now the blood sect attaches great importance to the lord of the country, these compensations are just to block the mouths of other people, what the lord of the country wants, you can do it, as long as you don't go out of line, the lord of the blood sect will definitely protect the lord of the country." ”
Tian Xian couldn't help but glance at this attendant, this guy was dressed in ordinary clothes, his appearance was ordinary, and he looked a little cowering, but what he said was very different from others, and he could directly guarantee the blood sect like this. I'm afraid it won't be a simple character.
"Then thank the Blood Sect for me. ”
After sending the attendant away, Tian Xian returned to the stone house and found the four girls sitting there happily, teasing the spirit kite on the table.
This spirit kite is naturally purring, and the four girls naturally know it, and the teasing technique does not seem to be teasing the bird at all, but carefully poking and pinching. And kept saying, "Is it really going to change? How is it changing? Can it become something else? Can you change one to show me?"
Gollum's bird face was full of no interest, ignoring the four girls.
"How's the situation on the other side of the desert?"
"Guli came with the news that Long Jiu secretly arrested someone and sent it to her today. ”
Tianxian was in good spirits, and the Longyuan Empire finally moved.
"What's going on? ”
"At midnight yesterday, Long Jiu secretly sent someone to send a person who was tied up with a rope to Gu Li, and asked Gu Li to extract a confession. ”
"Oh...... That's Gu Li's housekeeping skills, and then what?"
"To death. Didn't open his mouth either. ”
Tianxian raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you open your mouth when you died?"
Gollum shook the bird's head, "No, when it was almost dawn, Long Jiu's people came to listen to the reply, and they knew that they didn't ask anything, so they killed him on the spot and took him away." ”
"Killed ...... on the spot"
Tian Xian frowned, he really didn't expect that the situation on Long Jiu's side had reached this point, "Who is that person?"
The man did not speak. The identity could not be proven, but Guli said that Long Jiu should be clear. As for Guli, she should be sleeping ...... right now."
"Sleep?"
Gollum's body writhed strangely, and in a moment it changed from the appearance of a spirit kite to a palm-sized person, which was exactly what Gu Li looked like.
"I've been tortured all night, I'm really tired......" As soon as the little man spoke, it was actually a pure Guli tone. "That guy has a very tight mouth, he should be a dead soldier who has been cultivated since he was a child, I don't have anything to use here, and in the end I didn't ask anything, and it was dawn...... Today, I have to go to Fang Liang to learn to make tea. I'm going to get some sleep first......"
After a yawn, Guli's body began to twist again, and soon changed back to the form of a spirit kite," she said. ”
"It seems that Long Jiu's situation is indeed not very good, but it's not bad that Gu Li is still so relaxed, but you tell her, don't be careless, protect yourself in everything, as long as she can protect herself, no matter what happens, I will definitely take responsibility for her." ”
"Good...... I'll tell the slacker. Gollum turned around and pecked away the four girls to pinch her fingers, and quickly disappeared into the lair.
"Brother Tian, I didn't expect you to meddle in the affairs of the Longyuan Empire. The fourth girl poked at the nest that looked messy in the small cage, and said to Tianxian with a smile.
"I didn't want to, but Guli she had to go. Tian Xian sighed, "That woman, she usually looks stupid and stupid, but she is actually better than anyone else, but she has to go to such a dangerous thing this time, and I am still very worried about it." ”
The fourth girl also sighed lightly with Tianxian, "The concubine doesn't have much contact with her, but in this way, she is a good woman." ”
"Huh, good woman?"
"Well, she is older than the concubine, and the concubine will definitely follow her example in the future and be a good woman. ”
Tian Xian smiled bitterly, "One of that kind of women is enough for a headache, you must not become like her again." ”
The fourth girl sneered, slowly stood up and said: "Let's go to the city first to get back the Wasteland Great Sword, the time is almost up, when we are on the way, Brother Tian will tell the concubine about the Longyuan Empire, and the concubine may be able to help." ”
Tianxian hurriedly helped her, "It's okay, this matter is a long story, it may be a little complicated, let's talk about it as we go." ”
The huge underground city of the Blood Alliance's headquarters is actually very prosperous, no less than the giant cities of the major empires on the ground, and it is difficult to find that this is a city alone underground without looking at the half-empty mountain rock dome and the dark mountain walls in the distance.
Tianxian and the four girls walked on the street, surrounded by ordinary pedestrians, vendors, porters, artists, farmers, all kinds of people made this city not strange at all.
However, the appearance of Tianxian and the four girls has obviously been known for a long time, and all the pedestrians on the street have avoided the two of them, and no one dares to come forward to talk to the four girls.
Although this made Tianxian feel a little uncomfortable, there was no one around, and it was much more convenient to talk to the four girls.
Traveling all the way to the densely built area of the city, he took out the Great Sword of Dust from the group of statues in the center of the huge pool. Tian Xian and the four girls began to walk back leisurely.
The four girls were very happy, and they were like a little bird chirping and talking along the way.
"Brother Tian is really accurate, the concubine body just lifted it and gave the general direction, and the sword was accurately thrown here. Although she couldn't see the appearance of Tianxian clearly, imagining the appearance of Tianxian carrying this giant sword, the four girls were fascinated for a while.
"This thing is heavy. If it's a little bit, I'm afraid I'll crush people. Tian Xian replied very seriously, "You see that there are ordinary people coming and going in this city, although the Blood Alliance doesn't care about their life and death, but I have no reason to kill people indiscriminately." ”
The fourth girl covered her mouth and smiled, "Compared to when the concubine first saw Brother Tian, Brother Tian has experienced a lot of things, but his temperament has not changed at all." ”
"What? Still so stupid?"
"No, Brother Tian has a cold face and a warm heart, and he is still the little brother Tian that the concubine likes. ”
"Oh, where am I cold? I'm very enthusiastic inside and out!"
The fourth girl couldn't help but laugh again. It's only been a few days, and she is already a little used to the tone of being idle and boastful, "That's right, it's the concubine's gaffe, Brother Tian is in a hurry, no matter what the difficulties are, he will help, this is very admirable to the concubine." ”
Tian Xian blinked his eyes, scratched his head and said, "Speaking of which." I didn't want to help with Long Jiu's affairs...... But ......"
"But even if Gu Li doesn't take the initiative to intercede, I'm afraid that Brother Tian will find other ways to help him. The four girls smiled and shook their heads.
"What do you think?" Tian Xian was a little surprised.
"The concubine is sure. ”
Tian Xian said a little unconvinced: "That guy Long Jiu has no friendship with me. And he is so bent on poaching Guli that I don't have the kind heart to help him. ”
"Brother Tian is kind-hearted, he will never die without help, so since Long Jiu came to ask for help, I am afraid that he has been forced to the point of extreme tension, did Brother Tian really not think about helping him?"
Tianxian couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. The fourth girl had already chuckled and continued: "At the beginning, even an enemy like a concubine, Brother Tian didn't see death and didn't save him, let alone a like-minded friend, although the concubine was a daughter. But the tacit understanding between men also knows a little bit. ”
"I don't have a tacit understanding with that bastard. Tianxian listened to the words of the four girls, and suddenly rolled his eyes.
"It doesn't matter whether there is a tacit understanding or not now, what matters is whether Gu Li stays in the Longyuan Empire this time, whether it can be beneficial to Brother Tian and Long Jiu. ”
Tianxian couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any opinion on this matter?"
"The situation within the royal family of the Longyuan Empire is completely unknown, so naturally it is not easy to speculate, but Long Jiu's step is indeed dangerous, he uses external forces, if he exposes flaws in the struggle for imperial power in the future, this matter is enough to become a big crime of colluding with foreign parties and shaking the foundation of the Longyuan Empire, and even if he can win in the future, this matter will be a stain on him, and it will definitely be used by other parties. ”
"In other words......" Tianxian muttered slightly, "he can't care about these things now?"
"Not bad!" The four girls' eyes shone sharply, "A country like the Longyuan Empire that pays attention to tradition and bloodline is very xenophobic, Long Jiu asked for help from outside forces in the imperial power party struggle, and it was a ruthless figure like Gu Li who helped, but he was completely out of the game at this point, and now it seems that he was forced into a dead end that outsiders can't know, and he has to do so." ”
Tian Xian thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Isn't that Guli very dangerous?"
"Yes, Gu Li is actually very dangerous now, but since she has the confidence to stay there, she must have the means to protect herself, not to mention that with a stigma like hers, it is really very difficult to catch her. ”
Guli's means of self-protection naturally exists, and it is an extremely secret and extremely effective means of self-preservation, and this means is Zhuoya!
Like a soul possessed by Zhuo Ya in Gu Li's body, although it is still unclear what is going on, but Zhuo Ya is indeed real, Zhuo Ya's strength is quite powerful, and her swordsmanship is born to kill, and opponents who are one level higher than her may not be able to fight her.
What's more, no one knows about her existence at all, and Zhuoya can kill all sides in the dark, with such Zhuoya's protection, Guli is undoubtedly very safe.
However, the words of the fourth girl still made Tian Xian even more worried, and a piece of information seemed to show that Long Jiu's condition was very bad, and he could be uprooted by others at any time.
"Brother Tian seems to be worried?"
Tianxian nodded without hesitation, "I don't want something to happen to Gu Li." ”
"Then ......" The fourth girl suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, with a wicked smile in her eyes, "The sword has also been withdrawn, there is no need to rush back now, how about Brother Tian go and inquire about the situation of the Longyuan Empire?"
Tian Xian was surprised, "The situation of the Longyuan Empire, where to find out." ”
"Brother Tian is too careless, the seven blood branches are in charge of the affairs of the seven major empires of the Human Continent, and the concubine is in charge of the Dante Empire, does the little brother know who is in charge of the Longyuan Empire that day?"
This can be a day to ask, "This ......"
"Brother Tian has only seen people, and he forgot everything so quickly?"
"You mean?"
The fourth girl smiled happily, "Although the concubine doesn't want to, it seems that I still have to see the eldest sister again." ”
Tianxian had to blame himself for being too careless, this time when he came to the Blood Alliance, his thoughts were all on the magic treasure and the four girls, and the other information was ignored.
The blood branch in charge of the Longyuan Empire is the eldest lady!
The eldest lady went to Tianxian's dinner yesterday, and didn't get any chance to speak, but watched Tianxian and the four girls show their affection all night, and when she came back, she went crazy with anger, and drank until dawn before falling asleep, and she didn't expect Tianxian to come to visit at this time.
When she got up in a hurry and quickly dressed herself up and came out to see the day, a cheerful face immediately became gloomy, and she didn't expect the fourth girl to come with her again this time!
After a simple greeting, Tian Xian went straight to the topic: "I heard that the eldest lady is in charge of the affairs of the Longyuan Empire?"
The eldest lady is so angry in her heart, thinking that I have helped you several times or three times, and you don't even know which side of affairs I am responsible for, which obviously doesn't take me to heart.
"Yes, why does the little brother have the nature to ask this today?" Although he was angry in his heart, the eldest lady was very gentle.
"Miss, you should know, I have some friendship with the Nine Emperor Princes of the Longyuan Empire, and he seems to be more irritable recently, but I don't want to inquire about the internal affairs of the imperial family, so I came to consult Miss. ”
"Oh......" The eldest lady looked abrupt, "The Longyuan Empire is now a party struggle within the imperial family, is the little brother Tianxian going to ask this?"
"Exactly!"
The eldest lady smiled, smiling extremely proudly, "Little brother Tianxian, this kind of thing can't be told to you in vain!" (To be continued......)
