Chapter 784: Night Wine
Long Jiu stood on the terrace, looking up at the moon in the sky, he had been standing here for more than an hour.
The sound of steady footsteps came from behind Long Jiu, stopping five steps away from him, Tu Ge's burly body became even more fierce in the moonlight, and his white mane seemed to be stained with the terrifying hue of the night.
"Your Highness, it's late, and it's not safe here. Tu Ge glanced around, this terrace has a wide view, but at the same time, you can see it from many places, if there is a sharpshooter sniping Long Jiu, the threat will be great.
Long Jiu nodded, but didn't move his steps, instead asked, "Tu Ge, among the lionmen, if anyone wants to be the patriarch, what will they do?"
"If he is a qualified warrior who challenges and defeats the patriarch in front of everyone, he is the new patriarch. ”
Long Jiu turned around and looked at Tu Ge, "That's it?"
"That's it!" Tu Ge replied directly.
"It's so easy to do. Long Si shook his head with a wry smile.
Tu Ge said in a muffled voice: "In the Eastern Kingdom, strength determines whether we can survive, nothing is more important than absolute strength, more than intrigues, we need to defeat monsters and find food." ”
Long Jiu immediately suppressed his smile and couldn't help but re-examine Tu Ge, "I'm sorry, I lost my words." ”
"Your Highness does not need to apologize, in the eyes of mankind, we lion people are barbaric and rude, we do not deny it, and will continue to live like this, this is our way of survival, containing our faith and glory. ”
Long Jiu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "Faith and glory...... These things are luxury things for human beings. ”
Tu Ge thought for a moment, "Human...... There is also faith and attaches importance to honor. ”
Long Jiu smiled, "You mean Brother Tianxian?"
Tu Ge shook his head decisively, "He...... I can't say it, but everyone around him is like that. ”
Long Jiu laughed.
"Tu Ge, I'll discuss something with you. Long Jiu walked over, and then found that Tu Ge's body was too large, and looked up at him very tired, so he took a few steps back, "I plan to let you go back to the desert." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Tu Ge's brown eyes, "Why, did we do something wrong?"
Long Jiu shook his head, "No, the time you came to protect me was the most reassuring day for me in all these years, and I have never slept so well. ”
"Then why are we leaving?" Tu Ge said, staring at the night, "Although there is no danger around this house, the elven sentry told me that there are still people watching from a distance, and there are fully armed people waiting for an opportunity. ”
"I know...... It's always been like this. Long Jiu looked at the darkness in the distance, "In the past, they were very close to me, I was very nervous, after you arrived, they all retreated with interest, but ......"
Long Jiu sighed, "The imperial capital may be about to change, it is not safe for you to stay here, there is no need to get involved in trouble." ”
"I've already reported this to the desert, and the Overseer wants us to protect you no matter what. Tu Ge replied in a muffled voice.
"Is that what Princess Peace meant?"
"Yes. ”
Long Jiu smiled, "Speaking of which, Brother Tianxian is really powerful, even the first princess of our Longyuan Empire can be abducted, and she can return to the empire to show off her might." ”
Tu Ge thought for a moment, "The Overseer is not His Highness the Nine. ”
"You've learned to lie, too. Long Jiu laughed.
Tu Ge was sullen for a moment, "The Grand Duke said...... She's not. ”
"Brother Tianxian can tell the sky to be broken!" Long Jiu smiled a little out of shape, "How else can you kidnap the Fourth Emperor Sister?"
With a long sigh of relief, Long Jiu was fixed, "It's worth it to get acquainted with someone like Brother Tianxian...... Tu Ge, you will take people away tonight, I will give you an official document to clear the customs, and no one dares to stop you. ”
"This ...... I'm afraid not. ”
"It's an order!"
"Hmm...... I am now under the orders of the Overseer. Tu Ge still replied in a muffled voice.
Long Jiu couldn't help but speak.
Tu Ge continued: "In case of war in the imperial capital, we will protect you from leaving. ”
Long Jiu looked at Tu Ge, stepped forward and patted him on the arm, "I'm around...... It's almost time to run out of people you can fully trust, and it feels good to hear that. ”
"We can be trusted. ”
Long Jiu nodded, "I know, that's why I let you leave!" Tu Ge, you are a brave warrior, maybe hundreds of human soldiers can't stop you at all, but you don't understand the cruelty and unscrupulous means of human warfare, and human beings will not do such a thing as a head-on duel. ”
"And ......," Long Si sighed, "Although I am unwilling, I admit that I don't have the courage of the Fourth Emperor Sister, I can't leave here, otherwise I will have nothing!"
Tu Ge frowned, "Why can't we leave? The elves and we have both left the Eastern Kingdom, and if a piece of land is no longer blessed, then it is time to leave." ”
Long Jiu was a little surprised when he heard this, and chuckled: "It is said that the lion man is barbaric and rude, I think he has his own wisdom." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment, but we won't go, that's a fact. ”
Long Jiu was helpless, "Okay, but if something is really released, what I do is my freedom, you can't force me, this should be the principle, even your Overseer can't force me, understand?"
Tu Ge nodded, "The lion people respect the will of every life, we are just protecting you, that's all." ”
Long Jiu looked up at the sky, "It's late at night, I should go back to sleep too......"
"Your Highness rests early. ”
Long Jiu was about to go back to rest when another footstep came, equally loud, but compared to Tu Ge's steadiness, this footstep was more heavy.
Long Qi's stout figure appeared behind Tu Ge,
"Sister Huang, why are you here so late?" Long Jiu was surprised.
"Ha, it's okay, I can't sleep, I'm here to talk to you. ”
Tu Ge retreated silently, Long Qi was a person who could be completely trusted.
For Long Qi, Tu Ge's impression is still good, better than the vast majority of humans.
First of all, she was strong enough that there was no one in the entire palace who was stronger than her, and this kind of thick bear-like body was very good in Tu Ge's opinion.
Long Qi is also the only human in the palace who can push Tu Ge with the amount of his body, and he was already bounced off if he was someone else.
Moreover, the character is relatively good, of course, this is observed from Tu Ge's point of view.
Sometimes Tu Ge would feel that Long Qi was a lion, so he would be right with one qiē.
Tu Ge left the terrace and immediately called the elven sentinels, expanding the absolute defense by thirty percent, driving away several watchers in the distance.
Long Qi often came to chat and drink with Long Jiu, and in this huge palace, they were each other's only relatives.
As soon as Tu Ge left, Long Qi immediately revealed his true form, took out the wine jug and wine glass from his loose clothes, and patted Long Jiu on the shoulder, "With the imperial sister here today, no one can disturb you!"
Long Jiu thought to himself: Yes, I have to drink all night again today.
"I said Sister Huang, I'm safe now, you're just idle and have nothing to drink, right?"
Long Qi grinned, "That big guy just now is really strong, I used a lot more force this time than last time, but I only pushed a little bit." ”
Long Jiu was helpless, picked up the wine jug and poured wine, "Sister Huang, don't bother people anymore, Tu Ge is the patriarch of the lion clan, I don't think it will be a problem for him to kill a team of 1,000 people, what are you fighting with him?"
Unceremoniously swept Long Qi up and down, and Long Jiu said directly: "If he wants to deal with you, it is estimated that it will be the same as catching a chicken." ”
"Nonsense!" Long Qi's thick eyebrows raised, "I'm serious, he will be my opponent?
Long Jiu sighed in his heart, ordinary girls wouldn't be proud of this at all, right?
"Or, you lend me two, and I'll go back and compete with them!" Long Qi suddenly said eagerly.
"Sister Huang, that's not what you're here for, is it?"
"Of course not!" Long Qi's eyes widened, hiding his weakness.
Long Jiuzao saw through it at a glance, "If I could, I would be fine, but these lion people and elves are only ordered to protect me, and they will not listen to my orders." ”
"Who's that to listen to?"
Long Jiu smiled slightly, "The Overseer on the desert border. ”
Long Qi blinked his eyes, took a sip of the wine glass, and couldn't help but ask, "You say...... Is that really the Fourth Emperor Sister?"
"What do you say?"
"This ...... I thought it was, but she said no, and the emperor said no. ”
"That's it. Long Jiu smiled and touched Long Qi's wine glass, and drank it all, "Everyone knows it, but in front of various countries, no one can admit it, I have to say that Brother Tianxian's hand is very ingenious." ”
Long Qi frowned, "That bastard boy actually kidnapped the Fourth Emperor Sister, I found an opportunity to clean him up!"
Long Jiu smiled, "I said, Sister Huang, when will your character change, you will have to work hard without asking questions, and you will suffer a big loss sooner or later." ”
"Why don't you ask about it?" Long Qi pressed the wine glass on the table with a "bang", "If it weren't for the unsavory means, how could the imperial sister be deceived into going to the desert?"
Long Jiu shook the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "This matter is a mystery, but what is the role of the Fourth Emperor Sister, you and I both know in our hearts, there are few people in this world who can deceive her, at that time, I am afraid that the Fourth Emperor Sister was willing to go to the desert." ”
"Phew! impossible!" Long Qi directly punched Long Jiu, "Just that little scoundrel, he must have used unsightly means!"
Long Jiu grinned and rubbed the place where the hammer hurt, "We are arguing here, maybe the Fourth Emperor Sister is now satisfied." ”
"Hmph! I think it's like an arrow!"
"The Fourth Emperor Sister is smart and resolute, full of wit, if she really wants to return to the empire, it may not be impossible with her current ability, but she doesn't seem to want to be here at all, maybe ......" After a pause, Long Jiu sighed helplessly, "Maybe she has already fallen in love with that side." ”
Long Qi's face twisted into a twist, "You say...... Sister Four Emperors likes that little bastard!"
"Maybe. ”
"Impossible!"
"Then you say, why do so many women around him like her?"
"It's not that I've been deceived by his rhetoric!"
"The Four Emperor Sisters may be one of them. ”
"How could the Fourth Emperor Sister be deceived!"
"She's been tricked into the desert. ”
Long Qi was speechless, stared for a long time, and drank a glass of wine sullenly, "Phew!
Long Jiu smiled, "Whatever, it's okay anyway! It's not necessarily a good thing for her to leave, at least it's not a good thing for us to have now." ”
Long Qi fell silent and drank a glass alone, "Recently, is it really that dangerous?"
"The transfer of the city defense army is very strange, the deployment has suddenly changed, and the palace guards have been transferred, and now there is a vacancy in the palace, this kind of thing is simply impossible!"
"Vacancy?" Long Qida was stunned.
"Yes, although it can't be seen on the surface, the more strict problem is......" Long Jiu frowned deeply, "The orders were all given by the Great Emperor himself, and there was no trace of anyone making trouble. ”
"Why is that?"
Long Jiu shook his head, "I don't know, but even if it is the emperor's order, this is not a good sign, with the strange movement of the army, the forces of the various princes have also shown strange movements, if this situation continues, even if it is the emperor's intention, I am afraid that there will be chaos." ”
"Will it be dangerous?"
"I don't know. Long Jiu still shook his head, "The situation is completely different from before. ”
Long Qi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, "It's okay! No matter what the situation, as long as there is an imperial sister and I on your side, I will definitely save the day!"
Long Jiu's heart warmed, and he raised his wine glass and said: "At the beginning, I made a grand wish to obtain this empire and correct my mother's name, but unfortunately she is blessed and can't see the day I ascend the throne, but you are the imperial sister...... Will definitely see!"
Long Qi laughed and clinked glasses with Long Jiu, "I'm looking forward to that day, speaking of which, I'm not too young, the other princesses have already married, and I'm still dancing with guns and sticks, huh...... I have to wait for you to ascend the throne and force me to choose a colt before I can get married!"
Long Qi couldn't help but laugh too, "Sister Huang, don't worry, this world is so big, there are so many good horses, when the time comes, I will choose the best one for you, if he refuses, I will cut him!"
"Phew, Sister Huang, I'm such a beautiful woman, will he refuse?" Long Qi straightened up his majestic ****, and by the way, he twisted his waist as thick as his chest.
Long Jiu thought for a few seconds, "Don't worry, cut one, there will be a second one." ”
"Bah, you kid is looking for death today, right!" Long Qi rolled up his sleeves.
"Sister Huang's life, I mean cut that one, choose a better one for you!"
"Until then, I'm going to loosen my muscles!"
The sound of ping-pong soon came from the terrace.
Tu Ge did not stay away, and after hearing the sound, he continued to carry out his guard duties in complete ignorance.
An elf girl suddenly walked out from behind Tu Ge, looked at the terrace, and said worriedly: "Will you be killed......?
Tu Ge pressed his big paw on the elven girl's head and lifted her back into the shadows of the building behind her, "Stay vigilant, that's not what we should be concerned about. ”
Then Tu Ge scratched his chin, "If we are really killed, we can also go back to the desert." (To be continued.) )
