Chapter 616: Trickery
The long street was crowded with people, and the noise was endless, but Tianxian felt very quiet, because Gu Li was walking beside her, and at that moment just now, she covered the brilliance of everyone on the street, and even the whole world, as if she was the only one in this world, so clear and dazzling.
Maybe taking this woman for yourself is the truest idea to obey your heart, Tianxian couldn't help but think so.
"We looked like we were being followed. What Tian Xian said was already another topic.
"There will definitely be people following us, maybe it's someone sent by the Emperor, anyway, there will be no accident here, don't pay attention to them, I'm more worried about your body......"
"Do you want to see it again?"
Gu Li's face flushed, "You...... It's a hooligan!"
Tian Xian found that he liked to see Gu Li's face blushing, "I haven't played a hooligan yet, okay?
Gu Li was ashamed again, "You...... If you dare, I'll kill you!"
Tianxian had already laughed again, Gu Li blushed, turned her face away angrily, and ate hard.
"Alright, alright...... I'm fine. Tian Xian said with a smile, "The Blood Alliance gave me a chance this time, and I naturally wanted to grasp it, but I didn't expect me to be like this, because I wasn't sure what would happen, so I didn't explain it to everyone." ”
Gu Li glanced back at Tianxian sideways, "Let's be clearer!"
"To put it simply, the marrow eating forest formation used by the eldest lady has had a strange effect on me, my body seems to have benefited from it, and I feel that I need to break through a certain boundary, but I can't tell myself, so I want to take this opportunity to make this boundary clear again in the battle. ”
Gu Li couldn't help but be attracted by Tianxian's words, and forgot to be angry, turned around and asked curiously, "What is the boundary?"
"I can't define it right now. But this is a method of washing the body from the formation that has been handed down from the Eastern Kingdom, maybe no one has used it before, otherwise I will define it casually?"
Guli blinked, "No one has used it...... Maybe this is not for human use at all, right? That formation is an attack array, and there are ancient demonic beasts in it. ”
Suddenly, something occurred to Gu Li. He sneered: "Since no one has used it, and it doesn't look like it's used by people at all, isn't it the boundary of inhuman." ”
"Inhuman boundaries?" Tian Xian was stunned, and suddenly understood, "Stinky woman, you turn around and scold me!"
Gu Li pursed her lips and smiled, "Perhaps...... That's just the way it is. ”
"What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing!" Gu Li looked at Tianxian with a smile, "Let's go ahead and have a look." I remember there was something delicious in front of me. ”
"When do you become a little gray!"
"I'm not going to get fat anyway. ”
"Even if time imprisons the body, it will definitely become fat, you see your waist is thick. ”
"Ahh......h Really, really rough?"
"Of course it's true!"
"No...... Wouldn't ......it? I didn't eat that much, oh! How could it be, I just ...... Ahh
"Hahahaha......"
Throughout the day, Tian Xian accompanied the three of them happily in the market.
......
At night, Tianxian freshens up and dresses up, and then passes through the dressing of Xue, Ling and Guli. Transform into a handsome young man with neat edges, and enter the palace to meet the emperor.
I learned that the emperor was going to summon him in the main hall. Tian Xian was a little strange in his heart, the main hall of Zhengzheng Palace is generally used for deliberations or solemn occasions for holding activities, and he should not be here when he is summoned alone, it seems that today should be a gathering of many people.
But when the attendant who led the way asked the guards to push open the imposing temple door, Tianxian began to be a little dumbfounded.
There was no one in the hall at all, it was empty.
Only the lights on the stone pillars were lit. Illuminating the huge golden dragon carpet in the center of the main hall, the entire hall looked eerie and terrifying, and the surroundings were all pitch black.
"Boom!"
The door of the temple slammed into his back, and Tianxian realized that he was already alone.
What the hell is this?
Looking around, there was not even a ghost around. The throne on the twelfth golden rank in front was also empty, and the Great Emperor was obviously not there. Tian Xian walked forward alone along the golden dragon carpet, came to the golden steps and stopped, frowned and shouted softly, "Is there anyone?"
The hall reverberated with the sound of confused questions......
The situation is a bit abnormal, I don't believe that anyone dares to do anything dirty in the main palace hall of the Longyuan Empire, but judging from the current situation, it doesn't look like the emperor wants to summon him at all.
After thinking about it, Tian Xian saluted directly to the golden steps, "If there is no one, I'll leave." ”
After speaking, Tianxian turned around and left.
It wasn't until I walked to the door of the main hall that a voice came from the depths of the main hall, "What an arrogant boy." ”
Tian Xian immediately stopped, turned around and saluted respectfully, "Tian Xian see the Emperor." ”
In the darkness of the main hall, a tall man walked out slowly, this person was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a golden crown, it was the ruler of the current Longyuan Empire - Longyuan Emperor.
Slowly walking up the golden steps and sitting on the throne representing the supreme power, Emperor Longyuan showed a faint smile to Tianxian, "Come and talk when you come closer." ”
Tian Xian came to the foot of the golden staircase, saluted again, and couldn't help but look at the Emperor Longyuan, and his heart was full of questions.
Emperor Long Yuan's expression was as usual, still with an unfathomable expression, and those eyes seemed to absorb the entire universe, complex and profound.
But Tianxian felt that his face was a little gloomy, and he didn't know if it was because the light in the hall was a little dim today.
"Do you know why I summoned you?"
"Please also let the Emperor know. ”
"Do you know why I'm summoning you here?"
"Please also let the Emperor know. ”
Emperor Longyuan suddenly laughed twice, "Originally, I should have summoned you secretly, but thinking that the ancestor founded this empire with extraordinary courage and set up the precepts of the imperial family, I still changed my attention. ”
"Today's meeting may affect the history of the Empire, and I hope that it will go down in history in a few years and inspire the descendants of the Longyuan Empire to move forward, rather than guessing the content of this meeting from hearsay and wild history. ”
Tian Xian felt the heaviness in the air. The hall was not underlit, but was crowded with more and heavier darkness......
Emperor Longyuan looked at Tian Xian quietly for a while, and said calmly: "I didn't think that you would affect the empire so far-reaching, I have seen countless young talents, and you are not the most outstanding among them, but I didn't expect it." You will really let the balance of power on the continent be broken, and ...... A serious threat to the Dragon Yuan Empire. ”
Tian Xian was suddenly startled when he heard this, and his hairs couldn't help but stand up.
"Emperor, what you said makes me a little unbearable? Although Tianxian is reckless, he also roughly understands the truth, the empire treats me well, how can I threaten the empire. ”
Emperor Long Yuan smiled faintly, "Dragon Four...... Are you okay?"
This sentence didn't just make Tianxian's hairs stand on end. It was a chill that soaked directly into the bones.
He actually knew that Long Si was on the border of the desert! There was absolutely no way anyone would know about this!
This situation was so sudden that Tianxian was a little speechless.
The Emperor continued: "You kidnapped the princess of the empire without authorization, tarnished the princess's reputation, treason, and plotted against the power of the empire. ”
Tian Xian's forehead began to sweat, and he involuntarily glanced at the darkness in the depths of this hall, could it be that there is a killer hidden there?
If that's the case...... Tian Xian was really not sure that he would be able to retreat with his whole body, and the Great Sword of the Desert Dust was not there. The flames of the Evil Eye are also not able to exert their full power, and who knows what kind of peerless monsters are hidden in this huge empire. Those legendary characters may immediately jump out of the dozen and kill themselves!
Hell, what's going on?
Just for a moment, Tianxian felt that his brain was about to explode, and this absolutely unexpected situation was like a slap in the face, which made Tianxian a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly, a strange cool feeling was born from my heart, flowing quickly through my whole body, and I turned around my mind twice. Let the brain, which is as hot as iron and has almost lost the ability to think, calm down a little.
In the dark, Tianxian seemed to hear a voice: "Black, come back early......"
"Whew--" He exhaled a long breath, and Tian Xian raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Only then did I realize that my back was already soaked with sweat.
Saluted to the emperor again, and said with relief: "Emperor, you are really scared to death......
Emperor Longyuan's thick eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and he looked at Tianxian's gaze with a little approval, "You think I'm scaring you......"
Tian Xian swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile: "The emperor is clever, Tian Xian is ashamed of himself, but I don't know what the emperor called me here for today, if there is any problem, Tian Xian will answer truthfully." ”
The Emperor's eyes showed a little interested, "You think I won't kill you?"
"Yes. ”
"Why?"
"If I want to kill, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter this temple...... And the emperor has actually said before, what I want to say today is extremely important, I chose to summon me here because of the courage of the ancestors, how could I kill me, but I am an ordinary man who can't withstand the emperor's divine might, and I am ashamed and ashamed. ”
Emperor Longyuan laughed, and with this laughter, the lights in the hall lit up, and the solemn hall returned to the light, and the gloomy aura was swept away.
"Hmm-" Emperor Longyuan smiled and muttered for a while, "Little guy, you are already very good, the whole empire, especially the princes and princesses, can still stand in front of me, not a single one! ”
Tian Xian was taken aback again, what is it called if you can be proud of it when you walk out of the main hall, is it possible that there is still a situation where you can't get out of this hall?
"Still. As soon as the words changed, Emperor Long Yuan's eyes showed a hint of coldness, "You flouted the imperial precepts, this is an inescapable crime, I didn't expect you to really dare to abduct Long Si, do you know the consequences of this incident?"
Of course, Tian Xian knew the consequences of this incident, but even if it happened, as long as he was not trapped in the deep palace like now, Tian Xian didn't care about so many big crimes, not to mention that no one could know about this matter at all! Long Si went out of the city secretly, and the secret methods she did at that time were very clever, and she never returned to the city after that, she was sent directly to the desert border, and her stand-in is still playing her role well, and there is no loophole in this matter.
I want to break my head. Tian Xian couldn't figure out how Emperor Longyuan knew about this.
"Please also ask the Emperor to atone for his sins. "I have to take it.
The Emperor pondered for a moment, "Why are you doing this? You've always shown a lack of interest in power, and this doesn't look like pretense. ”
At this time, there was no need for Tian Xian to hide it, and said directly: "Please also ask the emperor to atone for his sins, Tian Xian thinks that the royal family's struggle for power is too cruel." The fourth princess of the dragon was almost alive but had nowhere to hide, and she couldn't bear to be idle, so she was brought to the border of the desert. ”
"Near-death and life-......" Emperor Longyuan seemed to want to chew on this word with a special taste, and said after a long time, "Heir of the empire, which one can only ascend to the throne after experiencing near-miss death, this is a period when there is no war, and conspiracy and poisonous schemes are even more necessary." ”
The emperor said this, and the sky was irrefutable. ”
The Emperor nodded. "So, what do you know about the threat to Ryusi?"
Tian Xian looked up at the Great Emperor and found that he was also looking at him, his eyes full of exploratory expression.
Lowering his head, Tian Xian replied: "The emperor let the emperor's heirs kill each other, and Tian Xian said those specific things to no avail. ”
"So, who is Rifle for?"
Tianxian still hung his head. The eyebrows jumped slightly, it seemed that the Emperor Longyuan had indeed understood that there was a struggle for power for external forces to infiltrate the empire. And the target is precisely located.
"Laifu is Ryusi's bodyguard, I already knew it, but he can't reveal his identity and won't leave with Ryusi, and he has disappeared, from the time Ryusi left. The only possibility is ...... He's dead, maybe you're the one who killed him. ”
Although the main hall was already brightly lit, Tianxian still felt pressure, and Emperor Longyuan's words were not cumbersome, but they were extremely oppressive. Every sentence is to the point.
Sorting out his thoughts, Tian Xian replied: "Laifu betrayed the fourth princess, and the fourth princess was almost killed because of this, it was indeed I who killed Laifu, and his body was buried in the dense forest outside the city." After that, I took the fourth princess to the desert border, and I don't know who he served. ”
This time, Emperor Longyuan pondered for a long time, as if he was discerning the truth and falsehood of Tianxian's words, and then he said to himself: "Laifu, there is no reason to betray, he is a dead man, and the reason to let him betray ...... What the hell is it?"
Standing up, the Great Emperor paced back and forth a few steps, and then asked, "Who else have you mentioned the matter of Long Si?"
"Tianxian just doesn't want the four princesses to die in vain, no one knows about this matter, the small town on the border of the desert is separated from the Longyuan Empire by chaotic streets and border checkpoints, and no one in the empire will know where the fourth princess has arrived, and I have already arranged it properly, no one knows the identity of the fourth princess. ”
The Great Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "This is her shame and the shame of the empire, just ...... Let her stay there for now. ”
This means that Long Si is automatically out, Tian Xian understands this meaning very well, although all this came too suddenly, but Tian Xian has no way now, "Tian Xian understood. ”
The Great Emperor nodded slowly, "I won't mention the matter of Long Si, now ...... Let's get down to business. ”
I was stunned for a while, and then I wanted to get down to business?
Sitting down again, Emperor Long Yuan regained his unfathomable expression, "You should be glad that if you hesitate in your answer just now, you are already dead." ”
Tian Xian glanced at the emperor, lowered his gaze, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"I now believe that you just couldn't bear to save Long Si for a while, and as for the identity of Laifu, I want you to investigate it now. ”
"Investigate the identity of Laifu?"
"Yes, your identity is very convenient to do this, and you are also the most suitable person, if you can investigate clearly, I will not blame you for saving Long Si. ”
Tianxian's brain began to spin rapidly.
Obviously, Emperor Long Yuan wanted to thoroughly investigate the true face of the forces that had infiltrated the empire, but now he was only aware that someone was interfering with the power struggle, but he didn't have any actual clue, so he wanted to try to find clues in himself.
If that's the case, then wouldn't he have asked for me?
Saving Long Si is not a small crime, but the Great Emperor should know very well that as long as he lets himself go now, this crime has no meaning at all, the Holy Spirit Temple and the Blood Alliance both want to kill themselves, and the charge of killing a head in the Duolong Yuan Empire is not even a tickle.
Thinking of this, Tian Xian's stomach immediately burst into laughter.
But before Tian Xian could speak, the Emperor had already continued: "Also, if you can handle this matter well. The Empire will open its doors to you. ”
Tianxian blinked, "The Great Emperor...... What does that mean?"
Emperor Long Yuan's smile was unfathomable, "Little guy, you have been hiding very well, burying yourself in women, stealing and playing tricks. Coupled with the young age, it often makes people feel young and frivolous, and it can't be a big thing, but ...... You have been silently doing your own thing, silently watching those who laugh at you. ”
Tian Xian felt extremely uncomfortable, and in front of this emperor, many things seemed to be difficult to hide.
"Young people have great ambitions to stand on the ground, but ...... After all, there is a limit to manpower. "Emperor Longyuan's eyes were shining," and the power of countless people was infinite. You know why so many people are chasing power, because power represents infinite power that individuals don't have. ”
"If you thoroughly investigate Laifu's identity and report everything to me truthfully, then I can promise you that the Longyuan Empire will give you an imperial aid when you need it!"
Today's surprises are one after another, and Tianxian has begun to be a little numb.
Imperial Aid?What is Imperial Aid?
Borrowing three or five hundred yuan to drink and eat is a personal relationship, and donating 100,200,000 yuan to help the sick is easy for small groups, and hundreds of millions of dollars are gathered. Countless supplies to fight natural disasters are the rescue of large groups of society.
And what about the rescue of the Empire?
It's human life!
It is at the cost of life, at any cost. Aid at all costs, only when the national destiny of the empire is driven, countless lives will fight for it without hesitation.
Tian Xian couldn't believe that Emperor Longyuan meant that he would activate the state apparatus and use the imperial war-level army and materials to aid him.
How is this possible?
Very satisfied appreciating the stunned expression of Tianidle. The Great Emperor said slowly: "You are very smart, but your strength is insufficient, one day you will need a country to support you, you will not only need the materials of merchants, but also countless gold. You need countless lives to fight for you, and at that time, the Longyuan Empire can be your backing!"
The corners of Tianxian's mouth trembled, and he felt dry in his mouth.
"Please forgive me for being idle and stupid, the meaning of the Emperor...... I still don't really understand. ”
"It's simple. The Great Emperor Zhi smiled triumphantly, "I've been observing you, you have involved many forces on the mainland, although they all want to win you over, but this is actually very dangerous, because you may stand on the other side at any time, so I have never really said anything to you, but this time is different." ”
"Because you rescued Ryusi, and it was in the case of someone intervening, I believe that you have your own backbone and ambitions, and you will not succumb to others, let alone really stand in a certain force, so this is a secret alliance. ”
"The Alliance?"
"Yes, but I can only give you one condition, this condition is the contract of the alliance, find out the force that infiltrates the empire, I will regard you as a loyal friend of the empire, and will repay you with the loyalty of the empire!"
"I know that many princes and princesses want to win you over, don't pay attention to them, as long as you are on my side, on the side of the empire, you will never be wrong!"
Tian Xian had to admit that Emperor Long Yuan was far-sighted, he saw through Long Si's sneaking out of the imperial capital, and also noticed the infiltration of external forces, and more clearly expressed his great fear and worry about this force.
"The Emperor entrusted me with such an important task, and I was terrified. ”
"It's just a condition. Emperor Longyuan said in a deep voice, "I don't expect you to really find out about this matter, I will naturally continue to investigate through other means, it was your answer just now that won this opportunity, and if you can do this, you will be the most reliable friend of the empire!"
"You have to understand that you are not alone, you are a group, you are a delicate person with many forces, and one day you will need a strong boost, and then you will not be able to move an inch without reliable allies. ”
Tianxian frowned and thought seriously.
This matter is naturally agreed, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to leave this hall, Tianxian is thinking about the future, the emperor's words reminded Tianxian, and now the signs of the return of the gods are becoming more and more obvious, just relying on their own side of a few people in the end, if you can really mobilize the strength of countless people, it is naturally better.
If this is the case, the people of the desert are naturally the first choice, and the little sand king will believe in herself unconditionally, not to mention that she herself understands the return of the gods.
The problem is that the little sand king has to consider the interests of the desert people. She herself may not be afraid of anything, when she begged herself to save her life under the earthen wall, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her life's freedom, although she never mentioned this matter again, but the little sand king occasionally looked at the eyes, you can still see the original firm gaze.
She is absolutely credible. But it may not be possible to make a ruthless bet on all the desert people.
Moreover, the desert people are scarce, and in terms of population, they may be less than one percent of the Longyuan Empire.
Now that the return of the gods is still hidden, it is impossible to mobilize all human beings to fight against it in the open, if there are really billions of forces that can be driven, then ......
"This thing...... I'll look into it. Tian Xian said solemnly, as if he had promised.
Emperor Long Yuan smiled slightly, "Young man." Good spirit. ”
As he spoke, he casually threw something to Tian Xian, and Tian Xian reached out to catch it and saw that it was a swarthy and inconspicuous jade plate, and it was half a piece.
"This kind of jade plate, not many people in the empire know it, even the princes and princesses don't know about its existence, this piece is the highest level of this kind of jade plate. The original piece was kept with me, and the remaining half was secretly copied and distributed. Whoever of you can find out the identity of Laifu and the person behind the scenes, he will get the other half. ”
Tian Xian put the jade card away and asked with a smile: "Did the emperor promise the power of the empire to many people at one time?"
"For different people, it is natural to give different things, young man, I have extra importance for you. Originally, I thought it would be safest to kill you, after all, you can't control it, and I can't threaten you after leaving this palace, but this is probably where I need you the most. I should inherit the will of my ancestors, and the descendants of our Longyuan Empire will never shrink their necks to fight the world. ”
Tian Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly, this big gamble, the bet is really the history of the empire!
"Tianxian remembers every word of the emperor, I wonder if the emperor has anything else?"
Emperor Long Yuan smiled, "People who dare to urge me to speak are really rare." ”
"It's reckless. ”
"Well, there are a lot of beauties around you, this beautiful night is beautiful, it's a pity to waste it here......"
Tianxian was suddenly a little embarrassed, he just didn't want to continue to feel pressure here.
"One last thing. The emperor looked Tianxian up and down, as if he was measuring some kind of standard, "You have a smart mind, but the city government is not enough, you must think twice before doing things in the future, so as not to ...... Someone tricked out the secret again. ”
Well?
A huge question mark suddenly smashed on Tian Xian's head.
"This ...... I don't understand!"
Emperor Long Yuan laughed, didn't explain, and left.
It wasn't until he left the main hall and walked on the brick road of the palace that Tianxian was blown by the cold wind, and he suddenly woke up.
This day is really gritting his teeth and stomping his feet!
The Emperor didn't know about the Dragon Four at all!
He said a lot of things just now, but the Great Emperor didn't mention why he knew that Long Si had left the imperial capital, and the initial exact statement was that Laifu was missing.
This cause and result was completely speculated by the Great Emperor! He pretended to know about Long Si's escape, and as a result, he really defrauded a shocking secret.
slapped himself in the mouth, and he cheated and played tricks for two lives, but today the boat capsized, and he was actually deceived by others to make a confession, and he didn't have any suspicion at the time.
"Are you alright, sir?" asked the waiter who led the way.
Tianxian glared at him angrily, and the waiter smiled and continued to walk in front.
Angry, but Tianxian also had to take it, Jiang was still old and spicy, this Longyuan Emperor was indeed different from others, he couldn't be fooled at will, and now Tianxian was 100% sure that he launched the mixed dragon energy at that time, and he was unconsciously mentally suppressed, otherwise he wouldn't be so helpless.
This old man is not ashamed, he actually pretends to be a ghost in front of a little child! Tianxian has been putting Emperor Longyuan on the side of the old pervert all the way, and his identity as an innocent, five-talk-four beautiful boy desperately curses him to step on shit when he goes out tomorrow.
And Tianxian has another annoyance, that is, the exposure of Long Si's intelligence, which means that she is out, and her original plan to let her take refuge in peace at the desert border has gone bankrupt, and she doesn't know how to go back and explain to her now.
After thinking about it, Tian Xian sighed: "It's all troublesome......"
Regarding these troubles, when I opened the door and saw that the three of them were still waiting for him, they all disappeared. Although it was calculated, after all, he came back alive in front of the murderous Emperor Longyuan, and there was nothing happier than seeing his companion again.
The three of them were flipping the flower rope, and the snow was still killing the Quartet, and Gu Li was brutally ravaged by Ling with the experience of being killed by the snow many times, so when Ling knew that this game was learned by Xue from Tianxian, "If you dare to turn it right once, I will kill you." This was the only thing Ling said when he held the flower rope in front of Tian Xian's eyes.
This time I came to the Longyuan Empire, I just wanted to make a temporary end to the things here, protect Long Si, and give Long Jiu a life-saving suggestion, as for the struggle for power, Tian Xian is not interested in knowing more, and getting the Emperor's semi-compulsory task is an additional gain, of course, being alive now is actually the biggest gain.
This Longyuan Empire is really a tiger's den in Longtan......
After staying for one night, Tian Xian set off, but did not return to the desert border, but went deeper into the hinterland of the empire, this time Tian Xian's main destination from the desert was not actually the imperial capital, but the farther Thunder Ancient City.
Today, Tian Xian feels the need to go back and see Norma again, and now he is the only one who can help him more.
From a distance, I saw the iconic towering huge mountains of the Thunder Ancient City, the giant anchor of the sky split on the top of the mountain, and the anchor handle was hidden in the clouds and mist, which looked particularly shocking.
"Ah~~~"
Tianxian yawned because he didn't sleep well last night. Originally, Xue must have slept with the sky, but was resolutely opposed by Ling, and Xue secretly climbed over in the middle of the night, but was later dragged back by Ling Run, and so on several times......
Tian Xian felt as if he had been playing peek-a-boo all night......
"What kind of place is this?" Ling asked suspiciously, looking at the mountains from afar.
"Good place. Tian Xian smiled, "You're going to like it here." ”
"Did you ask me to be involved in this operation to bring me here?"
Tianxian looked at her, "Maybe, but it's not really, I also want you to come out and relax, because I'm afraid there will be no time to relax in the future, this thunder ancient city, the scenery is not bad." ”
Ling looked at the giant anchor and frowned deeply, "I have a feeling of disgust......
Oh, my God~~~~
Yesterday I forgot to upload and posted it......
I was busy adjusting the time and rushing the manuscript, and I didn't read all kinds of news, but I was stupid again
I am pure and innocent!
