Chapter 319: Cangyue City
Long Yi's expression was shocked, the first thought he had when he saw these dozens of humanoid ice sculptures was Wushuang, it was a pure conditioned reflex.
"What's going on? Yes... This is..."Nalan Ruyue also lifted the curtain and poked her head out, and when she saw the humanoid ice sculpture in front of her, she couldn't help but scream, and she also felt the thick water magic element remaining in the air.
The soles of the dragon's feet tapped, and the man flew high like a roc, floating in front of these humanoid ice sculptures, and behind him were the red lady and the wild bull.
Long Yi frowned and swept his gaze, seeing that the outfit of these people should be a small mercenary group, and there are all warriors and mages.
"Hey, they're not frozen in ordinary ice." The Red Lady exclaimed after a tentative knock with the Red Blood Bow in her hand.
Long Yi stretched out his hand and immediately felt a piercing cold feeling invade, he retracted his hand and muttered, "Xuanyin Ice." β
That's right, it's indeed the Ice of Xuanyin, and such a large area of attack range forms the Ice of Xuanyin, which is not at the level of the Great Demon Seeker. And looking at Canglan Da 6, in addition to the water system great demon master Shui Linglong, who has this ability, that is, the peerless who has reached the realm of the law god, could it be that she also came to the Nalan Empire?
"There's nothing to see, let's get on the road, everyone is on guard." Long Yi said lightly, turned around and returned to the carriage.
The team began to come out again, Canglan Da 6 is the world of the jungle, and the scene just now only increased everyone's suspicion of the caster, so there were endless discussions along the way, some people said that it was done by Shui Linglong, and some said that it was a hidden master. There are many opinions.
Long Yi fell silent as soon as he entered the carriage, his eyes were unfocused, he smiled and frowned, his expression changing uncertainly. It made Nalan Ruyue want to ask but didn't dare to ask at this juncture.
"Is it Wushuang? I guess she didn't remember the past, otherwise why wouldn't she come to me? Long Yi sighed lightly in his heart, thinking of the bits and pieces since he met her, and his heart was even more depressed.
Seeing that Long Yi suddenly turned into such a lonely appearance, Nalan Ruyue finally couldn't help it, she pulled Long Yi's sleeve and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" Ever since you saw those people who were frozen, you were depressed and wanted to die, do you know who did it? β
Long Yi shook off Nalan Ruyue's hand a little irritably, and said impatiently: "Don't bother me, let me calm my ears for a while." β
Nalan Ruyue was stunned. There were bursts of grievances in her heart, her eyes were red and tears almost fell, didn't she care about him? Who knows, but the kindness is not rewarded. It's annoying.
Nalan Ruyue sniffed and held back her tears, she turned around angrily, and kept scolding in her heart: "The bad guy with a wolf heart and dog lungs, the stinky guy who is ungrateful, the dead guy who is unlucky...
Long Yi was immersed in his own thoughts. I don't know how long it took before he gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "Wushuang, you are my woman." I will never allow you to forget me, never allow. β
As soon as Long Yi thought of this, his eyes flashed with determination, and his heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and his confidence returned to his side.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that Nalan Ruyue only left him with a back, and Xiao Cui was looking at him hatefully, as if he wanted to bite twice.
"Hey, there's something wrong with the atmosphere. What's wrong with you guys? Xiaocui, do I have a grudge against you? Why are you looking at me like that? Ryuichi asked with a shrug and a smile.
"Hmph, don't talk to me, I don't want to pay attention to you." Xiao Cui turned her head, and her tone was seven or eight points similar to that of her master, Nalan Ruyue.
Long Yi was stunned, probably guessing that it was the words just now that annoyed the master and servant.
In the following days, Nalan Ruyue really didn't say a word to Long Yi, nor did she give Long Yi a good look, which made Long Yi sigh lightly in his heart: "Women, no matter how dazzling the aura on your body is, the heart and eyes in your bones are so big." β
Time is like the wheels of a carriage, and ten days and nights have passed by when it rolls and rolls, and at this time, Long Yi's team has also passed through several big cities, and it is almost reached Cangyue City, the capital of the Nalan Empire.
What surprised Long Yi a little was that the closer he got to Cangyue City, the cooler and more pleasant the climate became, and the scenery was very elegant, without the roughness of the Hengduan Mountains, without the glitz of the Dragon Empire, and without the desolation of the Aoyue Empire, but there was a kind of delicacy like a fairy, green mountains and green waters, birds and flowers, countless strange flowers and plants, even the city was built so exquisitely, there was no majestic momentum but there was a heart-warming style.
Along the way, Long Yi came to a conclusion that the Nalan Empire was definitely the most suitable country for human habitation, but that had to be a premise, that is, in the era of peace.
Now that there are many wars with the Aoyue Empire, most of the marginal cities have been destroyed, and all the people of the Nalan Empire are also terrified, because many young people have been called up because of this war, and the list of casualties in each major war is counted, and there are always some white old men and young wives and young children mourning, and the tragic atmosphere is shrouded in the sky over the entire Canglan Big 6, which is incompatible with its elegant scenery.
The brigade turned into an unusually wide street, welcoming a steady stream of caravan travelers.
"Ah, it's the royal family's carriage, and the lightning mercenary group, it must be Princess Ruyue and the attached horse master are back, now we don't have to be afraid anymore." A passer-by excitedly said to his companion that the knock-on impact of the arrival of Nalan Ruyue and Long Yi on the Nalan Empire and the entire Canglan Da 6 is basically known to everyone.
"That is, the Proud Moon Empire deceived people too much, killing many soldiers in our country, this time we join forces with the Wild Dragon Empire, and we will definitely set foot on the Proud Moon Empire." The companion said with hatred, thinking that some relatives and friends had died in the war.
The procession marched slowly, and the city gate ahead was already faintly visible.
Long Yi opened the curtain on the carriage and poked his head out, when suddenly a cool gust of wind blew, and he suddenly smelled a hint of salty sea. The ears are pricked up, and the sound of the waves can be faintly heard.
"Princess, we will go home soon, you smell it, it is the smell of the sea." Cui began to chirp excitedly.
"yes. We'll be home in no time. A smile appeared on Nalan Ruyue's face.
Long Yi stared at Nalan Ruyue and said with a smile: "Ruyue, my lady, are you still ready to gamble with me now?" β
Nalan Ruyue snorted, her expression and eyes were not so firm, in fact, she had the intention to reconcile with Long Yi a few days ago, but she just couldn't save face, and this dead man didn't even give her a step, and from time to time she chatted intimately with the red lady, almost didn't her off.
"It's almost time to reach Cangyue City. If you still ignore me, what will your father and your people think? They will think that there is a problem between us, and they will not worry about death. Long Yi sat down beside Nalan Ruyue with a dead face and said with a smile.
"Who...... Who ignores you. It's obvious that you're ignoring me. A smile appeared on the corner of Nalan Ruyue's mouth, and she unceremoniously slapped a rake.
Long Yi rolled his eyes, and grabbed Nalan Ruyue's small hand in his hand with his big hand, this girl wanted to talk to herself early in the morning. It's still a dead hold to save face.
"What are you doing, let me go." Nalan Ruyueyu's hand was caught, and his heart was beating wildly. Blushing, he scolded the dragon.
"You're my wife, we haven't spoken for so much, we should always cultivate a relationship, don't you say Xiaocui?" Long Yi asked with a cheeky smile.
Xiao Cui grinned, she was angry with Long Yi because the princess was wronged, but before she could help persuade Nalan Ruyue, she was happy to see that the two were reconciled as before. She has been by Nalan Ruyue's side since she was a child, and she also knows this master very well, and she has a peaceful personality. Except for relatives, he looks alienated from everyone. Because of the glamorous crown, some nasty flies have never been cut off, but I have never seen Nalan Ruyue give a noble son special treatment, until she met the second young master of the Ximen family of the legendary and famous Crazy Dragon Empire in the Duchy of Mia, she suddenly changed the princess, whether it was looking at him or talking to him, she completely changed her appearance, and sometimes she could see her delicate appearance like a little woman, at that time Xiaocui knew that her princess's feelings for Ximen Yu were not ordinary.
Nalan Ruyue glanced at Long Yiyi, but she didn't struggle anymore, but her little hands were soaked in sweat because of nervousness and shyness, and she would laugh at her when she felt it.
"Is it because you're almost home, so you're scared of your hometown, and your palms are sweating." Long Yi smiled softly and flipped over Nalan Ruyue's palm, wiping the sweat from her palm, in fact, how could he not understand why Nalan Ruyue was nervous.
Nalan Ruyue's heart was soft, melted by Long Yi's warm smile, she obediently let her little hand be held by Long Yi, and suddenly felt a feeling of happiness.
At this time, the gate of Cangyue City was already surrounded by heavy troops, and the access was temporarily interrupted. A handsome middle-aged man dressed in a blue-purple imperial robe, wearing a sea-blue crown, and a millet head stood out, his face was plain and a little pale, but he had a very elegant temperament.
The middle-aged man was surrounded by dozens of heavily armed guards, and there were several old men wearing various magic robes behind him, thinking that he should be the court magician of the Nalan Empire, and the middle-aged man was Nalan Wuji, the emperor of the Nalan Empire.
In addition to the middle-aged people, there are dozens of civil and military officials of all sizes, and it seems that the reception specifications of the Nalan Empire are several grades higher than that of the Crazy Dragon Empire, but also, Long Yi, as a marriage attachΓ© of great significance to the Nalan Empire, deserves to be so valued.
Watching the luxurious caravan of horses coming down under the escort of cavalry and lightning mercenary groups, a smile of relief appeared on Nalan Wuji's slightly pale face. Although there is a trace of guilt in sacrificing the happiness of his baby daughter, he has gained an alliance with the Dragon Empire, and the gain is far greater than the pay. Yes, the royal family has always been indifferent, and the marriage of children is in exchange for the maximum benefit of the royal family, which Nalan Wuji has undoubtedly done very successfully.
The team slowly stopped, and the officials who accompanied Nalan Ruyue to envoy the Wild Dragon Empire ran down quickly, and knelt respectfully towards Nalan Wuji with two hundred escort cavalry.
After they finished kneeling, Long Yi Shi Shiran got out of the carriage, stretched out his hand to help Nalan Ruyue down, and walked calmly and calmly to Nalan Wuji.
"Ximen Yu has seen His Majesty the Emperor." Long Yi bowed slightly.
"Daughter Nalan Ruyue has seen her father." Nalan Ruyue made a palace blessing, and her expression returned to the same indifference as before.
Nalan Wuji's eyes looked at Long Yi like electricity, and he smiled for a long time before he smiled: "Okay, very good, go back to the palace now, and prepare for the ceremony tonight, and then our Weng and son-in-law will have to drink a few glasses." β
"Of course, I just don't know if there is wine in the palace." Long Yi asked.
"Hehe, the virtuous son-in-law seems to be also a person in the wine road, there is a wine name in the palace, the soul of the sea, the mellow fragrance is far-reaching, and he is not inferior to the hundred flowers of the elf clan." Nalan Wuji smiled and patted Ryuichi on the shoulder to show affection.
"That son-in-law must taste it." Long Yi smiled with a pair of eyes shining brightly, there are very few wines that can be compared to Baihua Brew in this world.
At this time, the red lady stopped at the side, she didn't like this set of officials very much, and felt very disgusted.
At this time, Long Yi came to the side of the red lady, and the red lady also jumped off the horse, and Meimu looked at him with a little smile.
"Red lady, I am really grateful to you for your guards these days." Long Yi said to the red lady.
"Young Master Ximen, where is it, I have explored with you a few times, and I have indeed gained a lot of knowledge of the little girl, and I should be the one who should be thanked." The red lady smiled at Long Yi and said, these days she likes to chat with Long Yi when she has nothing to do, he always bursts out of his mouth with some amazing statements, but he also says the truth, which makes people believe it even if they don't believe it, because of the intimate conversation between the two, the people around her ambiguously said that she is a hard-hearted person who is also tempted. The red lady didn't refute, she had a good impression of Long Yi, but appreciation accounted for most of it, and the love between men and women shouldn't be counted.
"Hehe, don't be sour both of us, I have to go to the palace now, I'm here to say goodbye to you." Long Yi smiled.
The red lady nodded and said with a smile: "Then don't leave it at that, our mercenary group will stay in Cangyue City for a while, if Young Master Ximen is free, you can come to the adventurer's bar in the city to find me, as long as you tell the bartender, someone will bring you to see me." β
"Okay, I'll come when I'm free." Long Yi smiled and waved his hand at the Red Lady, got into the carriage and entered Cangyue City under the escort of the Nalan Empire's Praetorian Guard.
