Chapter 348: Into the Dragon's Lair

In the early morning, Tian Xian, Xue, and Xiang appeared before the glaciers that invaded the desert, and everyone had already split up, and the three of them came to check the situation of these glaciers today.

This is the dividing line between the desert and the glacier, the extremely cold glacier exudes a cold air, even in the restless hot air of the desert, there is no intention of melting, and the sand is completely dry more than ten meters away from the ice.

None of the three of them wore thick fur coats, and Tian Xian was a little surprised that Xiang was still wearing the shabby men's gown, but she didn't feel cold at all.

Xiang felt Tianxian's puzzled gaze, and said with a smile: "The climate of the highlands is cold all year round, and it snows most of the time, so Xiaosheng has long been used to it. ”

Tianxian nodded, but in his heart he thought that it was not just a habit...... Eskimos have lived in extremely cold areas all their lives, but they are also dressed in thick cotton clothes, who has seen them walk and chat freely on the snowfields with their bare butts?

Speaking of this situation, Xue is quite special, because the power she has is related to ice and snow, but Xiang is a warrior who cultivates weapon skills, and her body can be described as extremely strong if she can withstand such a severe cold. Remembering that Xiang did not hesitate to pretend to be dead and buried alive in order to repay the villains who gave her food, now she is a little relieved.

The full strength of incense may never be revealed.

"Xiang, your flash wave knife is home to the spirit of silver water, right?" asked Tian Xian.

"Yes!"

"The evil eye tells me that the silver water spirit is an almost soulful thing that can only be produced by very ancient water sources, and it has an incredible ability to give birth to life. ”

"Xiao Sheng has heard the patriarch talk about it, but Xiao Sheng has never used it. ”

"Little girl. Then I'll give you a chance to see the power of the silver water spirit this time!"

Xiang was slightly stunned, looking at the top of Tianxian's head, the many small flame clones of the evil eye were beating restlessly on the tips of Tianxian's hair, faintly exuding an aura that made people feel conspiracy.

"You're not here with me anymore, don't run to me!" Tian Xian pinched the flame of extinguishing the evil eye, and patted the desolate dust sword behind his waist, "If you don't come out, you won't suffocate to death, just stay inside!"

The Wasteland Sword is too long to be carried on its back or on its waist, and it is hung horizontally on its waist after the last day. Fortunately, this thing is not heavy in the hands of Tian Xian. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to carry.

Another flame appeared on the sky in the blink of an eye, and said in a condescending tone: "Boy, don't forget who is supporting the Great Sword of the Wasteland for you now! If I hadn't stayed in the sword, you wouldn't have been able to move it! Not to mention wanting to use its power! In the first place! It wasn't because of me that the little girl of the Sand King could afford to hold this sword! You weren't cut to pieces by Dole thanks to me! And this time, ......"

"Okay, okay, okay......" Tian Xian weakly interrupted the evil eye. "You do a lot of work. "But you don't need to stress it at least once a day. You are also an ancient evil spirit, and it is necessary to be reserved......"

"Of course I'm reserved! I'm just reminding you, boy! Don't underestimate me. Now I'll show you how good I am!" the evil eye jumped excitedly on the tip of Tianxian's hair, "Little girl, pull out your sword!"

Xiang hurriedly did so, only to hear a sound like flowing water, the flash wave knife came out of the sheath, and there was immediately a crisp and refreshing breath in the cold air.

"Little girl, you give me ...... Uh, I mean...... Now it's time for us to find some suitable ice cubes, and see if we can ...... Hey. The evil eye spoke to Snow in the same tone, and was swept away by Snow's eyes, and immediately stammered.

Snow doesn't like evil eyes, it's almost instinctive.

This is also the biggest scruple of the evil eye at present, after leaving Tian Xian's body, fortunately, he is still staying in the desolate dust sword that Tian Xian needs very much, if it is in some dispensable cat and dog, the evil eye is very suspicious that he has now been frozen into ice by the frost giant summoned by this little girl.

"Over there. Snow pointed to a line of glaciers not far away.

"Xiang, let's go, let me see how powerful your flash knife is. ”

"Yes!"

......

When Tianxian was in full swing and began to prepare to build a new home, people from all walks of life took action, and a fair beauty was ushered in on the northeast border of the Longyuan Empire.

"Stop!"

The soldiers stopped the "suspicious" woman, and looked at her unscrupulously to make the man's blood run high, "Before entering the customs, you must search your body first!"

Immediately, the soldiers in the vicinity let out a knowing vulgar laugh, and when they saw that the guard was not there, and there were no other pedestrians around, they all immediately gathered around. The border is bitterly cold, and it is almost a place where birds don't, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come out with a beauty.

Today's Guli is different from what it used to be.

She felt a change in herself from the moment she left the desert, and although it had been less than a year since she had been expelled from the Holy Spirit Temple from the north, the strange feeling seemed that this time was short, but it was incomparably long.

So much had happened in between, and when she was alone and remembered it, it even felt a little unreal.

used to be the hot hand of the West Temple, and he has been ...... for more than half a year. It seemed that he had unconsciously changed his person, looking at the soldiers approaching in front of him, Gu Li couldn't help but think: If it was herself a year ago, would she have drawn her sword and cut off their heads?

For more than half a year, I almost messed with that stinky little ghost, breaking through the boundary point that everyone dreams of, but the process is inexplicable, and now I should be stronger than before, but ...... But his heart seems to have become much weaker.

Can you become lazy when you live in a crowd? Especially in a group of people like that......

Gu Li closed her eyes and breathed deeply, recalling the experience of more than half a year in her mind, and her heart was full of emotion, when she acted alone, she suddenly found that she had been changed a lot unconsciously.

"Hey, hey, don't be afraid, we won't do anything to you!"

"Look, look, she's closed, she's closed! hehe......"

"We are Imperial soldiers. Not a robber, as long as you are obedient, we will not embarrass you. ”

When those soldiers saw Gu Li closing her eyes and breathing deeply, as if they were afraid, they couldn't help but feel their hearts soar, and they all rushed up, and the first one couldn't wait to reach out and grab Gu Li.

"Bang!!"

The soldier flew upside down like a cannonball, hitting four or five people and falling to the ground, and immediately there was a wail of heaven and earth.

The qiē happened so fast that the other soldiers didn't react. Until Guli slowly lowered her feet. When they opened their eyes, the cold light in their eyes swept over them, and the soldiers straightened their spears with a strange scream.

"No...... Don't move! Forced trespasser! Die!"

"Pervert, it shouldn't be like you......" I don't know why. Gu Li's mind suddenly appeared with a bad smile.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gu Li's figure seemed to be divided into several clones in an instant. Each soldier was rewarded with a kick. Kicked everyone out, and suddenly more than two dozen soldiers guarding the gate fell into a ball in front of the small city gate, baring their teeth and screaming.

Snorted. Gu Li took out a token and shouted in a cold voice: "On the orders of the Imperial Foreign Minister!

What she is holding in her hand is an official card of Tianidle!

What is the Imperial Foreign Affairs Chief, even the guards of this small level don't know, but this tube card is naturally true, it is the official card of the imperial family system, although the style is unique in the empire, it looks very strange, but it still scared the guard half to death, the name of the foreign affairs chief, it sounds so scary, and since it is a secret mission, it may be the people around the emperor walking outside, who dares to provoke?

The guards immediately tied up the soldiers one by one and hung them, and sent Gu Li a lot of travel expenses, and then nodded and sent Gu Li into the country.

Walking to the end of the road, Gu Li turned around and looked at the small level, touched the full waist bag and couldn't help but smile, "This feels good......

This time I went to the capital of the Longyuan Empire, Xiao Ash couldn't fly over, the closer he got to the imperial capital, the stronger the defensive power became, the air power of the Longyuan Empire was not weak at all, maybe no flying troops could catch Xiao Ash, but if it was found to enter like this, then this plan would be directly declared a failure.

Guli was the best person for the operation, mature, shrewd, and well-informed, and while she was as stupid as a normal woman in some things, she had a talent for what she had been working tirelessly for, and her Hidden Stigmata was not only suitable for hurrying, but also for getting out of danger when it was dangerous.

"I will try my best to succeed this time, but I ask you, remember! I ask you! The first task is to protect your own safety, and if you find a possible danger that threatens this plan, return immediately! I ask you to abide by this principle as your savior!"

In the starry night, Gu Li often remembered the words that Tian Xian had said when she was leaving, and every time she had a soft smile on her cautious face.

From the northeast of the Longyuan Empire to the central imperial capital, Gu Li only took three days, and all the levels were bypassed if they could, and if they couldn't be bypassed, they used Tianxian's management cards, and they crossed half of the empire like a wind all the way to their destination.

Without resting, Gu Li directly threw Tianxian's official card to the commander of the army defending the city at the gate of the city, "On the order of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the urgent information from the Shalit Empire wants to meet the Emperor!"

Things went unexpectedly, Gu Li waited outside the city gate for about an hour, a fast horse galloped out of the city, and immediately the knight restrained the war horse, took a look at Gu Li, and was immediately surprised and delighted, "It's you!"

Gu Li was also a little surprised to see this person, "Your Highness the Nine!"

This person turned out to be Long Jiu!

Long Jiu jumped off the horse, hurriedly picked up Gu Li, who was saluting, and looked at her with extremely hot eyes, "I thought it was Tianxian little brother who came back, is it just you?"

"I'm the only one who disappointed Your Highness. ”

Long Jiuke was not disappointed at all, it was difficult for Tianxian to pester him, he had already understood, and now that Gu Li was alone, he was overjoyed, he had long wanted to recruit Gu Li to his side, but he didn't have a chance, this time it was a godsend.

"Let's go to the city, oh yes, I'm sorry I came in a hurry, I only rode a war horse, if you don't dislike it, we will go to the palace together, so it will be faster. Long Jiu said, taking Gu Li's hand very gracefully.

Gu Li bowed quite elegantly, and let go of Long Jiu's hand with his body movements without a trace. "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness's golden body, how dare I ride His Highness's horse, if Your Highness is considerate, I will follow behind Your Highness, my stigma is very suitable for hurrying. ”

Long Jiu grabbed the air suddenly, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, in his mind, such a courtesy could already be regarded as a favor, such a thing as a ride. It's not an ordinary subordinate who has the opportunity to do it. Unexpectedly, the other party simply refused.

As a prince himself, he was rejected by a woman who was wanted all over the world.

Long Jiu, who was open-minded by nature, sighed, "It's okay, then you come with me! The Great Emperor already knows about this, and may have been waiting." ”

"Yes!"

All the way. Guli was respectful and courteous.

On this day, the inhabitants of the imperial capital saw a strange scene. The Nine Emperor Princes, who had never galloped on horseback in the city, rushed to the palace today. Behind him was a ghostly white figure, faintly visible as a beautiful woman with red hair, a sight that had been discussed by the residents of the imperial capital for many years......

Inside the royal palace. Emperor Long Yuan had just sent away the chief financial officer, who would come to cry every day, and was leaning on the throne, smiling at the red-haired woman kneeling below.

Emperor Long Yuan listened to her words word for word, and immediately remembered them, and carefully thought about the authenticity and feasibility of these words in his mind a few times, but his face did not show any expression that revealed his thoughts.

Gu Li was respectful, but she was also observing the Dragon Yuan Emperor on the throne above - the pillars on the side were very smooth, and the angle of her body was slightly adjusted, just enough to see his face.

This emperor was in the prime of life, very tall, born with a very majestic face, even if he smiled, it gave people a feeling of indespisibility, and there always seemed to be something hidden in those black eyes that made people palpitate.

It had been five minutes since Gu Li finished speaking, and Emperor Longyuan just looked at her with a smile, without asking or speaking, as if he was thinking, but it didn't seem to be ...... This made Gu Li feel a kind of pressure invisibly, as if those eyes were slowly piercing her body, peeking into a secret.

"You, are you the Guli of the West Temple?"

Emperor Longyuan finally spoke, his voice was deep and calm, although it was pleasant, but it made people feel more majestic and pressing, Gu Li withdrew his peeping gaze from the pillar, and his head hung lower, "Yes! ”

"You are being wanted by the Temple of the Holy Spirit, but you have come to me to spread the word, should I give you to the Temple of the Holy Spirit immediately?"

Gu Li was slightly sweating on her forehead, this may be a test of other problems, but at least the other party has this idea, and he can decide his life and death in a single thought!

"Before I left, the Minister of Foreign Affairs told me to obey the emperor's arrangement!"

"Oh~~" Emperor Long Yuan was interested, "Minister of Foreign Affairs, it sounds like he is on an equal footing with my Chief Financial Officer and Chief Minister of Military Affairs. ”

"Don't dare. ”

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "From beginning to end, Gu Lidu is neither humble nor arrogant, and his obedience is reserved with three points, which is very precious for a twenty-year-old girl, and many of those young ladies and princesses will only drink tea and enjoy flowers and discuss men at this age."

"It seems that my foreign minister has found a good talent, I wonder what position you have by his side?"

This sentence made Gu Li stunned, what kind of position? How can he have any position, even Tianxian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is bluffing, others don't know, but as Emperor Longyuan, how can he not know the reason, and the official position was only granted with his consent.

"This ...... subordinates, only to assist the Minister of Foreign Affairs. After Gu Li finished speaking, she felt a little sorry......

Emperor Long Yuan's smile deepened a little, "The Shalit Empire has a long way to get here, you must be very hard for you to come alone, it seems that my foreign chief treats you well." ”

Gu Li wondered in his heart, why did this emperor always make a fuss about this useless and fictitious official position, didn't he know that this foreign minister was just a vase name?

"Well, it's okay!"

Emperor Long Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Are you his woman?"

Gu Li knelt there, and when she heard this, she almost fell to the ground, and said with sweat on her head: "No, no...... The Emperor, you misunderstood, I, uh, my subordinates are not, not like that......"

Emperor Long Yuan laughed, "That's really his incomprehension, but since he sent you to the imperial capital alone to deliver the news, it seems that he regards you as a confidant." ”

Gu Li suddenly felt a little awkward, and the relationship between herself and Tianxian was not at all up and down.

"The Emperor praised it. ”

Emperor Longyuan looked at Gu Li left and right, nodded again, and then said: "He said that he has reached a consensus with the Sand King, and the Sand King will buy a large number of materials from the empire and pay for them all in gold, do you know about this?"

"My subordinates know!"

"These supplies are being used to build the city that hosts refugees?"

"Yes, and the chief has gained the trust of the sand king, and will further expand the size of that city, the chief said, this is a proof of the friendship between our two countries, and in the future we can use this city as a window to strengthen ties with the desert." ”

Emperor Long Yuan nodded and smiled, "Not a bad plan, of course, he can help the Sand King in the civil strife in the desert, and gaining the trust of the Sand King is the greatest merit, I didn't expect him to go to the desert and such a thing would happen." ”

"This qiē is all blessed by your divine power, the Great Emperor. ”

Emperor Longyuan's gaze was always looking back and forth on Gu Li, Gu Li didn't say a word, and even a word would make her eyes change slightly.

"Okay! I know about it! You have traveled a long way, go and rest, and come to see me early tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes. ”

Gu Li exited the main hall, and immediately came to a waiter, and led Gu Li away respectfully, this time, Gu Li got the treatment of a state guest, which can be regarded as a rarity.

As soon as Gu Li left, Long Jiu immediately walked out of the curtain behind the main hall, "Father, what do you think?"

Emperor Long Yuan smiled, "It's not bad, if you polish it more, you will be a good talent, and it is rare to be so beautiful and colorful, a little training will be a sharp weapon." ”

"That ......" Long Jiu's heart warmed up when he heard his father praise Gu Li.

"But you may not be able to subdue her. Emperor Long Yuan looked at his son, and his smile was a little more cordial, "Judging from the news from the border pass, she arrived here in three days, and she must have been on a sleepless journey day and night, do you know what this means?"

"This matter is urgent?"

Emperor Long Yuan smiled slightly, "Even if we agree to this matter, it will take time to turn around, she doesn't have to rush to the road like this at all, which shows that she attaches great importance to this matter, and she is a woman, while valuing this matter, it is likely that she values the person who entrusted her with this matter." ”

Long Jiu frowned, "Father, she is already twenty years old this year, and that Tianxian looks much younger than her, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and according to the news...... It seems that the age will be a little younger. ”

"Long Jiu...... the Emperor looked at him with a deep gaze, "This kind of thing is not worth mentioning at all at times, and you still need more experience to do it." ”

"Yes, thank you for your teachings. ”

Emperor Long Yuan nodded, "This woman will not follow you lightly, the outcome can only depend on you, go ahead." ”

"Father, ...... the news she brought?"

Emperor Long Yuan gently touched his black beard, and his eyes flashed slightly, "I'm afraid there is a problem with this matter!" (To be continued......)
