It was the tenth day after Ye Wuchen left Tianlong City.
"Princess Feihuang, servant girl..."
Hearing the sound, Long Huang'er jumped up from the chair like a spring, rushed over quickly, grabbed the maid's clothes and asked anxiously: "Has he returned yet?"
"Young Master Ye hasn't come back... They all said that Young Master Ye won't come back in about a month and a half, so the princess..." the maid explained. And she had explained this explanation to Princess Feihuang many times, but Long Huang'er still asked her to inquire about the news every day.
Long Huang'er let go of her hands in disappointment, and waved her down gloomily. Sitting back on the chair, she picked up the unfinished white brocade again, and began to embroider carefully. Her technique at this time was much more proficient than ten days ago, and the white and tender fingers There were a few red dots on it, but she never thought of giving up, because this was the first time she used her own hands to make something for him. At this moment, a... shape that can barely be called a human has been embroidered on it.
In the main hall of Tianlong, civil and military officials lined up on the left and right. Long Yin glanced left and right, and said solemnly: "I just got the news this morning that Feng Lie, the new emperor of Dafeng Kingdom, was enthroned yesterday. Not only did he not invite me to the throne this time, Tianlong Kingdom, Kuishui Kingdom, and Canglan Kingdom went there, but on the day he ascended the throne, he appointed his eldest son Fengling as the crown prince, and publicly announced that the prince Fengling would go to Tianlong Kingdom to visit the Lord Tianlong in a few days. What do you think about this matter?"
Needle drop could be heard in the main hall of Tianlong, and everyone showed a look of distress, Zhuge unintentionally came out and said: "Your Majesty, I wonder if Feng Lie will send other princes to visit the kings of Kuishui Kingdom and Canglan Kingdom?"
Long Yin said: "No. It is only aimed at my Tianlong Kingdom, which is what I am most worried about. With Fenglie's ambitions for our Tianlong Kingdom back then, I never believe that this time I came here just to condolences to my Tianlong Kingdom , there must be something strange about this matter."
"Your Majesty!" Lin Zhan came out and said, "Great Wind Country was strong back then, and one country could rival three of ours. Now that it has been silent for twenty years to recharge its batteries, strong winds are bound to move, and wars are almost inevitable. I think, Since there is going to be a battle sooner or later, why not take this opportunity to detain the prince of Dafeng Kingdom as a proton, and let Dafeng Kingdom cast a rat weapon... "
"This matter is absolutely impossible!" Ye Nu interrupted him with a loud growl, and said solemnly: "The prince of the Dafeng Kingdom dares to come to see his courage, if my Tianlong Kingdom actually detains him, what is the prestige and dignity? What is the prestige of my Tianlong Kingdom! ?Even if it is really possible to blackmail Dafeng Nation, what will people in the world think of my Tianlong Nation? What's more, Feng Chaoyang, the war god of Dafeng Nation, has always been responsible for protecting the Dafeng royal family. If Prince Dafeng is captured, Feng Chaoyang will be attracted. Thousands of armies and horses are hard to stop, and our Heavenly Dragon City will suffer because of this, absolutely not!"
"Old General Ye is right." Zhuge said unintentionally, "This statement is definitely not alarmist, and the strategy of detaining it is absolutely unfeasible. If Dafeng Nation is worried about our detainment, how can it send the prince here?"
Lin Zhan's face turned red and white alternately, knowing that the refutation was fruitless, he said with shame: "What the two generals said is that Lin's thinking is too simple."
Long Yin frowned and nodded, and asked, "Old General Ye, in your opinion, how should we deal with it?"
Ye Nu clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there are three purposes for the prince of Dafeng Kingdom to come here this time. One is to visit our Tianlong Kingdom's military power. The so-called knowing ourselves and the enemy also means that Fenglie's ambition is undoubtedly revealed. It won't take long If you look at my Tianlong country again, I have to guard against it. The second is to stand up. The third... My Tianlong country, Kuishui country, and Canglan country have jointly contained the Dafeng country over the years. , the person who was dispatched was still the noble prince, and it was not without the intention of alienation, which made Kuishui and Canglan suspicious."
Long Yin kept nodding his head, sighing secretly in his heart. After all, Ye Nu is Ye Nu, and his abilities in all aspects are definitely not comparable to that of Lin Kuang Lin Zhan, who was forced to go up. This is why he has been planning to quietly control the Ye family, but he has never targeted it openly, let alone destroying the Ye family, because the military pillar of Tianlong Kingdom is the Ye family, if there is no Ye family, Even with the wings of Kuishui Kingdom and Canglan Kingdom, Tianlong Kingdom has long since perished in the hands of Dafeng Kingdom.
"That's why the old minister thinks that he should immediately write a letter to the kings of Kuishui and Canglan, and inform him that Dafeng Kingdom will have a big move in the near future. A good false appearance, presenting him with several times the power of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, deters the Dafeng Kingdom, making him dare not act rashly. Others, everything is arranged by the emperor. The veteran thinks that the emperor has a plan in mind. The new prince of the Dafeng Kingdom must be here for the first time. Tianlong, since he is coming, let him see what is our Tianlong national prestige, and we must not lose our momentum!"
When it comes to dealing with the Great Wind Nation, who can have more prestige than Ye Nu. Since he opened his mouth, there was no one to add anything. Long Yin said: "Old General Ye is right. Although Dafeng Nation is strong, our Tianlong Nation must not show weakness in momentum. As a citizen of Tianlong, if we can not fight, we will not fight. If we really want to fight, our Tianlong Nation will not fight." Will be afraid of anyone! This matter will not be publicized for the time being, General Ye, General Zhuge, Feng Ling will use an excuse to visit our army during this trip, you should prepare everything within three days, and be sure to deter him!"
…
"A long time ago, there was a very beautiful fairy..."
"Don't tell this story anymore." Meng Zhi hummed expressionlessly, but there was a hint of begging for mercy in her flat and cold voice.
Every time Ye Wuchen tells this story, Ningxue and Tongxin, who already know the reason, will look at Mengzhi with weird eyes, and Ningxue will even ask "Sister Meng, are you really so edible?" So, Every time he said "A long time ago there was a fairy..." she had the urge to stab him to death with a sword.
And she didn't realize that the relationship between them was getting closer because of this. After so many days of getting along, although she was still taciturn, she would occasionally take the initiative to speak. When looking at Ningxue and Tongxin, she looked at her little sister.
Ye Wuchen had no choice but to shut up, and muttered in a voice loud enough for her to hear: "Really... I saved my life, and you still eat mine, drink mine, and sleep with me every day... Not only did you not have a word of thanks, but you still swear every day." It's as if I owe her, and now I don't even let me tell a story. Hey, bad luck, bad luck."
"You!" Meng Zhi glared at him, then turned her face away with a soft snort, gritting her teeth without erupting. Looking back on the past few days, she was indeed enjoying everything about him with peace of mind...
Ye Wuchen didn't have a fixed goal in the direction he was heading, he was simply looking for a way to the south. Usually, even in the relatively desolate wilderness, you will occasionally see pedestrians passing by, but after walking on this spacious and tidy road for a long time, you have not seen a single person, and Ye Wuchen felt a little nervous. Doubtful, he told the so-called weird stories that he didn't even know. Fortunately, Ningxue and Tongxin listened with gusto.
At the end of the road, there is a small forest that is not too dense, and Ye Wuchen's footsteps also stopped here.
"What's the matter, brother?" Ningxue asked.
They have passed through countless wilderness woods in the past ten days, and they have long been familiar with the big and small forests. Ye Wuchen stared blankly at the forest in front of him for a while, then frowned and said: "The arrangement of these trees is a bit strange."
"Huh?" Ningxue turned her head to look, looked at it seriously for a while, and said doubtfully, "No way."
Ye Wuchen put Ningxue down from his arms, put her little hand into Tongxin's, and said in a low voice: "Tongxin, you should also feel it, there are two spirit beasts inside, protect Xueer well."
Tong Xin nodded, showing no worry at all.
"Let's go." Ye Wuchen stood beside Meng Zhi, Meng Zhi's body obviously shifted sideways to a direction farther away from him, seeing that he walked into the forest without looking back, she had to follow.
If the Ye family, Lin family, and Hua family are the three most powerful political families in the Tianlong Kingdom, then Dongfang, Ximen, Nangong, and Beiming are the four most powerful families of magic and martial arts recognized by the Tianlong Kingdom. It should not be underestimated. It has stood in Tianlong Kingdom for many years and still no one dares to provoke it, and its hidden power is even more unfathomable.
At this time, the Ximen Family's alarm bells rang out.
"Young master, four people have broken into the Thousand Illusion Formation?" A servant dressed in full body clothes reported respectfully to a boy in his teens.
"What's the origin?" The young man said casually while playing with a mirror-like stone in his hand. The Thousand Illusion Formation is jointly deployed by the four most powerful elders of the Ximen family. Anyone who trespasses will either get lost in it and never find a way out, or be killed by two powerful spirit beasts grazing in it. Few escaped.
Usually, if someone wants to visit Ximen's house, he only needs to shout in front of the Thousand Illusion Formation, and someone will answer whether he has seen or not. There are not many people in the south who don't know about this. Naturally, Ye Wuchen and the others didn't know it, and broke in directly.
"I don't know, it's four unfamiliar faces."
The man waved his hand: "Trespassing without authorization is an enemy, not a friend. Don't worry about them, let them fend for themselves."
"yes."
The four walked in the forest for a long time, Ye Wuchen kept frowning, feeling more and more weird. The trees were arranged too neatly, and it was too quiet here, except for their footsteps, there was no other sound.
The trees in front of him are piled up, and the shadows of the trees are also piled up. Ye Wuchen's eyes trembled suddenly, he stopped, and looked up into the sky.
The sun that was originally in front of him now appeared behind him on the right!
Meng Zhi, who was walking on his right, saw him stop, and stopped too, turned around in doubt, then she frowned, and said softly: "What about them?"
Ye Wuchen, who was in deep thought, was startled when he heard the words, turned his head quickly, and then his face changed suddenly - Ningxue and Tongxin who had been walking on his left had disappeared.
