Chapter 809: Portrait

Tian Xian chose the summoning location in the depths of the desert, the most inhospitable and least inhabited, and even the patrol of the Shalit warriors just looked at it from afar and left in the vast desert.

If something goes wrong, it might be possible to remedy it here.

The little sand king transferred the sand slave to Tianxian for use, this giant insect beast is almost indestructible in the desert, whether it is carrying sand dunes or opening up passages, it has the efficiency that Tianxian is ashamed of.

In the large desert where the dunes are undulating, there is a flat ground with a radius of hundreds of meters, which is completely different from the huge sand dunes surrounding it.

The wind and sand blew on the boundary of the ground as if it were blowing on an invisible wall, forcibly parting to both sides, and a thick layer of sand quickly accumulated on the border, making the ground seem to have been formed by pressing there with huge transparent bricks.

Tian Xian used all the stigma he had now, from low to high, and placed them all around this ground as energy crystals.

The triangle has already arranged the strongest defensive formation according to Tian Xian's requirements, and Tian Xian has strengthened it again, and if there is an explosion that can destroy a small city in this field, it will not even stir up a cloud of dust outside the formation.

Tian Xian prepares to summon the god who will use the altar.

To be precise, to help him come into this world.

This is undoubtedly dangerous, and failure may still be a good outcome, and if it does, it is not surprising that the desert will be wiped out in an instant.

I can't wait any longer, and I've told myself countless times.

Many actions against the gods have progressed too slowly, and human nations have their own ambitions, how can a country like the Longyuan Empire, which would rather harm its own offspring than maintain its vitality, accept that the gods are coming, that humanity must unite, and that he must extinguish his ambitions to fight the enemy together?

A deity is the key to solving all the problems of the present.

How exactly are they going to come, what are the conditions, are there any special restrictions, where are the rest of the gods, and even whether they will all return.

The answers to countless questions must be explored in person with the true gods, otherwise no matter how hard you try, you will be just a blind man touching an elephant.

It took three days and three nights to depict the guardian array found in Fengtai on this huge field, not to mention that the guardian array is too huge, Tianxian must be checked repeatedly, and this matter must eliminate any possibility of failure.

When the stone statue with only two feet left in the guardian array, Tian Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The initial preparations were finally completed.

I had not slept for three days and three nights, lying on the vast desert, although I felt tired, but the cold sand below me made my mind extremely clear.

The night sky is endless, and the clean desert atmosphere presents an incomparably clear starry sky, and every detail of the starlight seems to be clearly visible, as if the stars are within reach.

Tianxian couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and the starry sky suddenly rose into the boundless sky, so far that it was unimaginable.

The brilliant starlight condensed into two huge bands of light across the sky, dividing the world into three, and the endless stars appeared in a strange posture in the eyes of the young man in the desolate desert on the distant land.

Endless stars, endless starry sky......

The stars in this sky are like a grain of sand in the desert, and in this endless star, I don't know which one, or some of them, live around the gods who once ruled this world.

Under the starry sky, this world is so small, why do they still miss this place......

In a trance, Tian Xian felt that the stars in the sky were like gods in the sky, and the flickering starlight had become hateful, and it seemed that it was all hostile eyes.

"If I could, I really want to pray to the heavens, I hope you will let this place go, this world is so big, wouldn't it be better for you to find a better place to live......"

"Brother Tian is so kind, I'm afraid the gods won't be able to hear it. ”

Tianxian turned over and saw that the four girls were walking on foot, and they had already approached him.

The desert is silent and windless, the crystal sand and gravel reflect the glittering starlight like a crystal, and there is a series of faint traces in this sea of stars that extend to the depths of the desert, which are the footprints of the four girls.

The four girls were carrying a food blue in their hands, obviously to deliver food.

"Why are you here?" Tianxian was taken aback and hurriedly rushed forward.

The fourth girl stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Tian ordered no one to approach, but I haven't eaten for a few days, and the concubine waited for Brother Tian to eat, so she went back with the food basket." ”

This is what it means to be idle, so he stepped forward and picked up the four girls horizontally, sat on the desert on the spot, and quickly took off her shoes.

The slender feet were already frozen stiff, red and swollen.

The desert is icy at night, the sand is hot during the day like ice ballast at night, and walking on the sand is like flowing through a glacier.

The four girls did not inherit the battle-type stigma, and their defense was much worse, and their feet were frostbitten along the way.

"How did you go so far?" Tian Xian quickly rubbed the acupuncture points on her feet, and there was already a lot of chagrin in his tone.

The fourth girl couldn't help but tighten her body slightly, lowered her head and replied: "Brother Tian said personally that no one should disturb him, naturally it is a big deal, the little ash is flying around with an amazing sound, and the concubine is ......."

"Then you can't just come over like this!" Tian Xian drank the words of the fourth girl.

"Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong...... Please don't blame Brother Tian......" The fourth girl said carefully, her voice like a mosquito.

Tian Xian is indeed a little annoyed, people's hands and feet are particularly delicate and fragile, the meridians of the feet extend in all directions, bringing together many acupuncture points, walking with the feet for another two hours, I am afraid that they will be permanently injured.

So, I just came to deliver some food!

It's ......

Tianxian almost wanted to scold, the fourth girl has always been smart and rational, but this time she is so stupid!

But when she turned around, she saw a crystal teardrop falling from the fourth girl's eyelashes, and she hung her head, not daring to breathe loudly, like a frightened cat that tightened her body.

Tian Xian sighed silently, and continued to activate the muscles of her feet, and the strength of the reverse heart approached her feet, and these slender jade feet looked a little more vigorous.

"When did you come back?" asked Tian Xian.

The fourth girl quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, "It's dusk." ”

"When did you leave for me?"

"It's ...... night," the four girls' voices were much softer.

Tianxian glanced at the food basket, "Prepared food and came over?"

"Hmmm......"

"Have you eaten dinner?"

The fourth girl bit her lip, "No ......"

"It's time to fight!" Tianxian suddenly shouted.

The four girls were startled, and quickly closed their eyes with side faces.

The warm hand touched the face of the fourth girl, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and quietly disappeared.

The fourth girl opened her eyes and found that Tianxian had not called, and was still rubbing her feet.

Very serious, the movements are also very gentle, the feet are warm in those hands, and the chill along the way is being quickly dispelled.

"Not next time. Tian Xian said softly.

"Yes......" the four girls quickly replied.

Tianxian glanced at the fourth girl, she hurriedly lowered her head, and seemed a little scared.

This action made Tianxian feel a slight pain in his heart.

Compared to others, the four girls are very special.

She was an orphan who had been raised by the Blood Pact since she was a child, and at a young age she lived only ruthlessly and insidiously, and that was pretty much all she had.

When she abandoned the Blood Alliance, she lost everything.

The longed-for good life is always a dreamlike existence, and then presents a harsh reality under the shadow of dreams.

Although she is always smiling, she is actually very hard, and it is very difficult to adapt to her new life.

Careful is the truest portrayal of her.

She was infatuated with the boy who had led her out of the darkness, giving everything she had, and at the same time, she was afraid of the boy so that he would tremble even if he frowned.

Tianxian knows that the perseverance of the four girls is far from being comparable to ordinary people, she always faces everyone with a sincere smile, but in fact, there is a kind of panic and uneasiness in her heart, and she struggles to adapt to the new life and never gives up.

However, there was a kind of fateful weakness in her, she was too afraid of everything she had lost, too afraid of the anger of the young man in front of her, she wanted to get closer to the young man again, but she was afraid that she would make a mistake.

This teenager was already everything to her.

She didn't insist, she didn't yearn, she didn't have the will to support her to go further, and there was only a vine-like dependence.

Strong and too weak, these two opposite extremes are mixed in her, presenting a morbid harmony.

"Does it hurt?" asked Tian Xian softly.

The fourth girl bit her lip lightly and did not speak, but shook her head.

"Lying is punishable. ”

"It hurts!" replied the fourth girl.

In fact, it really hurts, and the natural relief of frostbitten feet is extremely painful, not to mention the rapid treatment of Tianxian that directly passes qi and blood.

"So next time it's not allowed to happen, I'll ...... It's very distressing. ”

The fourth girl was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered her head, not wanting to see the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Cry...... Cry, cry out if you are wronged......" Tianxian said softly, like a breeze in the desert......

The four girls wept silently, but they no longer felt aggrieved, and the young man in front of them already fully understood their own minds.

"The concubine knows that she is wrong...... "With tears, the fourth girl whispered, "Next time, the concubine must bathe and change clothes, eat, and come to see the little brother again with a radiant face, this appearance is really ashamed to see people......"

Tian Xian nodded.

The fourth girl couldn't wait to come here, just to see herself even a moment earlier, and even after she had been away from home for many days, she had already begun to have the fear of not being able to see herself.

Tianxian understands this, but there is no need to say it again, the fourth girl must also understand.

"You are the only one who came, and those ruthless mothers-in-law left me on the desert for three days and three nights with such peace of mind, and they didn't even come to see me, and finally called you, a person who had been tired from a long distance and had not rested, to come over. ”

The same dissatisfied tone, this time did not make the fourth girl look uneasy, but with a smile on her face, "The concubine used many means to stop the sisters and come alone." ”

"You're so cunning!"

The eyes of the fourth girl were full of infatuation, "The concubine knows her identity, but she can let Brother Tian only have a concubine in her eyes, and she will not let go of this kind of opportunity." ”

Tianxian couldn't help but laugh again, and the boredom of looking up at the starry sky just now was swept away.

"Okay, I'll leave it for a while and then knead it. Tianxian let go of the four girls' feet.

The four girls' shoes were already cold, so Tian Xian simply put this pair of jade feet into her arms to warm them, and then took her back to the crook of her legs and waist, and completely hugged her in her arms, "Hug." ”

The feet are full of bones, the four girls have frostbite on their feet, in fact, their bodies have long been cold, her body is petite, and she is completely held in her arms by Tianxian, and she suddenly warms up.

However, this posture made the four girls shy, and she didn't feel that her face was hot, but this warm breath made her irresistible.

After traveling thousands of miles day and night, I didn't have time to eat a bite of food, so I took food and carefully walked through the desert, even if I got frostbitten on my feet, I didn't hesitate to do it, for the sake of ...... Don't you just hope that this teenager can smile at himself and take himself into his arms......

Leaning on Tian Xian's arms, the fourth girl felt that the whole world had become warmer......

"It's time for dinner. The fourth girl was a little addicted to the smell of dust and sweat on Tianxian's body, and suddenly a smell of meat wafted into her nostrils.

Looking at it, Tianxian had already opened the food box, took out the food and handed it to him.

"This is for Brother Tian......"

"If I don't eat it, I'm going to have heartache again......" Tianxian exaggerated a painful look.

The four girls suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this young man will be old and reliable for a while, but he will be helpless like a child for a while.

"That'...... The concubine only eats a little. ”

"Good. Tian Xian quickly took out the food, "Ah! freshly baked dim mic."

The four girls hid in Tian Xian's arms and ate the warmest dinner, but they were a little supportive--they were forcibly fed a lot by Tian Xian.

Under the endless starry sky, it seems that there is only a desert and two people.

"Brother Tian, are you ready?" the fourth girl asked in a low voice as she ate the dessert after the meal.

"It's half done. "What do you think of this plan?"

"The concubine is in charge of the little brother. ”

Tian Xian shook the four girls who were a little confused, "I mean, you think there is anything that can be improved." ”

The fourth girl came back to her senses, her cheeks were hot again, and she said softly: "Success or failure, but I want to be worthy of my heart, Brother Tian doesn't have to worry about anything else, he will definitely succeed." ”

Tianxian couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart.

I made this decision with a lot of determination, and all the determinations added up were not as useful as the words of the fourth girl.

Whether it is success or failure, whether it is a catastrophe or a miracle, how many people will fall into misery, how many people will usher in light because of this, these can be ignored......

As long as you understand your own body, you are worthy of your heart!

The vast world, countless creatures, the distant relatives and the girl in her arms were all condensed by this sentence at once.

"But I want to be worthy of my heart......" Tianxian couldn't help but murmur.

The fourth girl snuggled in her warm arms and said softly: "If you are worthy of your heart, you are worthy of this world, and the concubine thinks that Brother Tian will definitely be able to do it." ”

Tian Xian laughed out loud, hugged the four girls and fell backwards, and rolled on the sand with the four girls, the four girls exclaimed in fright, and the world was spinning in front of them.

"Let's go back!" Tianxian sat up and suddenly made a decision!

The fourth girl was stunned, "Go back......?"

"I need a day to observe whether the energy flow of this formation is correct, just go and see the reaction of the Longyuan Empire, by the way, what news does the Blood Sect have for you to bring back?"

As expected, the Blood Sect expressed the intention of alliance without any hesitation, and the conditions remained the same, Shi Yaoyao's whereabouts.

Tian Xian couldn't help but snort after listening to the words of the fourth girl, "Which is so cheap will tell us Yaoyao's whereabouts, this matter is a secret, the Blood Sect will not let go so easily, now he is just putting a long line to catch big fish, once we agree, the conditions may change!"

The fourth girl looked at Tianxian with a little surprise and said, "The concubine body also feels like this, the Blood Sect is insidious and cunning, and will never help us find Yaoyao easily." ”

Tian Xian glanced at the defensive array behind him, "We won't reply yet, and we will ...... soon." The Blood Sect knows how to reformulate the conditions!"

When the day dawned, Tian Xian and the four girls returned to Fire Leaf City, and Xiao Ash quickly slipped back to its lair to rest, the weight of the god statue carried last time was beyond imagination, Tian Xian carried it laboriously, Xiao Ash was also extremely difficult to carry, and now Xiao Ash is particularly sensitive to stone things...... And go to bed every chance you get.

Let the four girls sleep, Tianxian came to Long Si's house with brisk steps.

The genius was bright, and Long Si was already sitting in the pergola, frowning at the few volumes.

"Women who always stay up late age fast, and if you continue like this, you will become an old woman. "Tian Xian came over.

Long Si was not at all curious about why Tian Xian suddenly came back, and his eyes still fell on the file, "I don't have food or women here, so you better go and hang out somewhere else." ”

This woman's mouth is still so unforgiving.

"I'm here to find out about the movements of the Longyuan Empire. ”

Ryusi finally raised his head, "Oh...... To know this, that's just right, someone is going to negotiate the redemption of the eldest prince today, and you can come forward. ”

Saying that, Long Si threw the file on the table, "I'm afraid it's a special situation today, I was scratching my head how to deal with it, and you appeared." ”

Tian Xian opened the file and took a look, the conditions on which the Longyuan Empire promised to redeem the eldest prince were listed from top to bottom, and Tian Xian was stunned when he saw it, "No...... What kind of craftsmen, books, and so on......

"I added it extra. Long Si naturally said, "There won't be a next time, of course I want to earn a little more." ”

That's a little bit...... It's like a lion opening his mouth! Tian Xian couldn't help but sweat when he looked at some of the ore, timber, and even the population on it.

"Isn't that enough? What are you going to negotiate today?" Tian Xian was strange, this kind of condition was worth several times the price even if it was changed to a king.

Long Si frowned slightly, "The condition is to win, but ...... The man who came here today is in some trouble. ”

"Who?"

Long Si glanced at Tianxian, "You know, you'll know when you meet, meet at noon in the town hall, don't be late." ”

Saying that, Long Si stood up and stretched his waist, "I want to sleep well, don't bother me before the afternoon, I hope that when I wake up, you have already taken care of everything." ”

"Definitely!" Tian Xian flicked the roll of paper, and his tone was relaxed.

However, when he met the visitors in the town hall at noon in the costume of the Grand Duke, he suddenly realized that things were not good.

This time, it was not an ordinary envoy who came to negotiate the redemption of the Great Prince, or even a special envoy, but the real power faction of the Longyuan Empire, the commander-in-chief of the whole army!

This made Tianxian a little surprised, such a negotiation matter, should never send such a person to come, in a practical sense, his weight is much heavier than the eldest prince.

Is there any meaning in this?

"Young man, we meet again. The marshal stood up and saluted in accordance with the etiquette of the envoys, but his tone was very intimate.

Tian Xian looked at this marshal of the Longyuan Empire, and his heart was strange, this guy appeared here at this time, it was definitely not a coincidence, and there was definitely some special reason.

As the general of the Longyuan Empire, he has all the military power under him, and he is almost the second core person under the emperor, he has not shown much over the years, and it seems that he has begun to hand over the military power gradually, but there is only one marshal.

How did he come?

Tian Xian had infinite doubts in his heart, "Indeed, last time it was in your house." ”

When he said this, Tian Xian felt a little weird, that time in the Longyuan Empire, this old man stuffed his strange grandson to his side, and made it clear that there would naturally be a time when he had to come forward in the future, but Tian Xian had almost completely forgotten the existence of that young man.

After he came to the desert border, he lived silently, and lived every day silently, as if there had never been such a person in this city, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of this old marshal today, Tianxian couldn't have imagined that there was such a person.

The old marshal smiled, "Compared to that, you have grown a lot." ”

Whether it is physical or strength, if you are idle today, it is no longer the same, and now you have become the lord of a country, which is not bad.

But Tianxian always felt that the old marshal had other meanings.

"Please be seated!" treats the elderly, and the day is still more polite.

The old marshal was not polite, and after sitting down, his tone was still like small talk, as if he was facing the young man at the beginning, not the current Grand Duke of Huoye Country.

"This time, I came to take the eldest prince back, he is also half of my student, he has been weak and sick since he was a child, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the desert heat, and he will get sick. ”

"This ...... Naturally, you can. Tian Xian took out the dossier, "The previous envoy has already negotiated the conditions, I don't know if you have brought ......"

The day stopped, the old marshal obviously did not bring anything in the conditions, and the people below had already reported that there was only one convoy and a dozen escorts.

What ores, craftsmen, even basic gold is gone!

The old marshal took the file and read it carefully, shook his head and said: "Such conditions are acceptable, it is really insulting to the country." ”

Tianxian was slightly stunned, "Lord Marshal, what do you mean...... These conditions have not been counted, have they not been counted?"

"Of course......," said the old marshal, smiling, as he put the file back on the table, "don't you feel ridiculous when you see these conditions?"

This really feels it, Tian Xian feels that the Longyuan Empire's promise of such a condition is simply a water in the head, but it is written here in black and white!

"Lord Marshal, the previous envoy has already set conditions with us, and as soon as you come, you will overturn the past, so it doesn't seem to be the demeanor of a great country!"

The old marshal smiled, and the clouds were clear.

Tian Xian couldn't figure out what the old man wanted to do, and asked tentatively: "If these conditions are overturned, how do you plan to redeem the eldest prince?"

"Young man, the reason why I am here this time is because I can give you the most satisfactory conditions. ”

Tian nodded leisurely, "Honorable Marshal, I really don't know what conditions can satisfy me more than the previous ones. ”

The old marshal smiled and took out a piece of paper from his arms, "I actually know very well that those things are nothing to you, in exchange for conditions, you should naturally be cautious, and exchanging that kind of thing for the eldest prince will definitely make the countries of the mainland laugh." ”

As he spoke, the old marshal put the piece of paper on the table.

Gu Li came up and picked up the piece of paper, and was about to open it to read it, but the old marshal spoke, "No! ”

"What is it?" asked Tian Xian directly.

Gu Li didn't hesitate to open the paper.

There was nothing earth-shattering on this piece of paper, and there was no shock on Gu Li's face, and some were full of doubts.

"A portrait. Guli handed the paper to Tianxian.

The old marshal looked at Gu Li with a little surprise, in his mind, this girl was not so trusted.

A portrait can also redeem the eldest prince?

took the piece of paper and looked at it, and in an instant, Tianxian's eyes widened, and the blood in his whole body rushed to his brain.

Trembling, Tianxian's hands trembled, grasping the piece of paper, and his eyes burning with anger were nailed to the old marshal's body, "This portrait...... Where did it come from?"

Everyone was shocked that Tian Xian would be so angry.

Everyone gathered a little and looked at the piece of paper in Tian Xian's hand, there was nothing on it, only a mediocre portrait.

It's a little girl, with a round face and big eyes that exude aura, and she looks smart and cute.

Everyone exchanged glances and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The portrait that can make Tianxian have such a huge reaction, and it is a portrait of a little girl, then there is a chance that it will be Yaoyao.

How could the Longyuan Empire have a portrait of Yaoyao!?

"Let me tell you, can you take the eldest prince after that?"

Tian Xian's chest was full of anger, "I didn't expect it...... You are so despicable and shameless! You even threatened a little girl who is not yet an adult!"

The old marshal's gaze deepened, "Young man, restraining your anger, it won't do you any good, venting your anger indiscriminately is just a childish performance. ”

The corners of Tianxian's eyes twitched, "Very good...... Very well, then tell me, where is she, or can you bring her here, and I can release the Great Prince!"

"I can only tell you the origin of this portrait, that's all. The old marshal said lightly.

Tianxian feels as if his head is about to explode!

Yaoyao! It's Yaoyao again! Yaoyao's existence was actually discovered by a second-party force! No! Could it be that it was the Longyuan Empire at all!

They want to use Yaoyao as a threat, these filthy brutes! Now they have to hide and hide, and don't tell the truth!

"Brother Tianxiao......" called softly, which made Tianxian sober up a little.

Tianxian was shocked to find that the fourth girl had grabbed him, and he had taken half a step towards the old marshal at some point.

This made Tian idle in a cold sweat, just ...... It's out of control!

The old marshal looked at Tianxian deeply, "It seems that this is indeed a very important person to you, if you guess correctly, it is your relatives, right?"

The anger that Tian Xian had suppressed rushed to his head again, "You...... Don't deceive people too much!"

The old marshal thought for a moment, "I didn't expect you to react like this, it seems ...... We were all taken advantage of. ”

Tianxian was slightly stunned, "What? What did you say?"

The old marshal furrowed his pale eyebrows and said in a slow tone: "If you reacted like this, I shouldn't have come here, just now...... You almost killed me. ”

Tianxian is awe-inspiring in his heart.

The old marshal pondered for a long time, "Okay, the matter of exchange continues, bring the eldest prince here, I will tell you the origin of this portrait, if the conditions are acceptable, don't delay any longer." ”

Tian Xian finally began to feel the faint strangeness, the old marshal's words, between the lines of doubts, did not seem to be in the hands of the victory to blackmail himself.

Sitting down slowly, Tian Xian asked again: "Lord Marshal, the person in the portrait, don't you know her whereabouts?"

"I don't know. This time the old marshal replied very simply.

A brief moment of despair flashed in Tianxian's heart.

Although the portrait made Tianxian angry, the reappearance of Yaoyao's news also made Tianxian ecstatic, but this joy was instantly extinguished by the old marshal.

"Really...... I don't know?" Tianxian looked at the old marshal with bloodshot eyes.

"Young man, do you think I'm going to lie?"

Tian Xian stared at the old marshal's eyes, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, and a heavy sense of helplessness pressed on his body.

"Go and bring the eldest prince over. Luna gave the order directly behind Tian Xian.

In less than a moment, the Grand Prince was taken to the town hall.

During this time, the eldest prince was fed with good food and drink, leaving the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital, and the pure air and clean food and water of this desert raised him a little fatter than when he came, and his spirit was much better.

"Teacher!" As soon as he saw the old marshal, the eldest prince hugged his legs, and immediately cried, he was not very strong, and he was even more frightened when he was captured this time, and now that he saw the old marshal, he finally knew that he was saved.

The old marshal saw that the eldest prince was not abused, and that he was well raised, so he couldn't help but nod and look around, but he didn't see Long Si.

"You go outside and wait for me in the car first. ”

Sending away the eldest prince, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, the old marshal looked at the portrait on the table, as if he was pondering, and Tianxian also looked at the portrait and waited.

"The portrait was handed over by a man in the palace, and I don't know who he is, what his official position is, or where he is. "Looking at the sky," the old marshal added in a deep voice, "That's all I can say. ”

Tianxian teeth chatter, such news...... It's too vague!

Standing up, the old marshal turned and walked out, and when he reached the door, he suddenly said, "Take good care of my grandson, you will need him." ”――

Supplements are in place (to be continued.) )
