Besides, it is already incredible that a duck leg can be exchanged for three promises from the leader of the Cangsheng Sect.
"Then tell me, little darling, what do you want?" He could be very generous to this little girl. Money was just a worldly thing, he didn't care.
"I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it later."
"Okay, no problem. Anytime, anywhere, as long as Xiaoguai asks, I will go through fire and water!" This is not a joke. It is a serious promise. Three requests? He is looking forward to what this clever girl will ask...
However, no matter what the request is, he will do his best to complete it.
The flames continued to jump and burn, making a low sound of thunder. Ling'er continued her barbecue business, Jun Liufeng continued to eat, and the atmosphere was indescribably harmonious...
Yanglin Thirteen Prefectures.
After a short rest, Emperor Shitian and his party continued to move forward. Although they lost the dragon chariot, fortunately, a few horses survived.
Emperor Shitian was wearing a silver robe, his sword-like eyebrows were raised coldly, and he was riding on a Ferghana horse with a serious face. His pair of phoenix eyes seemed motionless, but his ears were concentrating on listening to the movements around him.
Occasionally, the sound of rustling leaves can be heard, and it seems very leisurely.
Dugu Yingcheng also rode a warhorse and walked side by side with him. After walking for a long time and seeing no movement, he suggested: "Your Majesty, it is already very late at night. There is an open space ahead, you should set up camp and rest for a while. After the battle just now, the soldiers should be tired."
Although Emperor Shi Tian was notorious, Dugu Yingcheng knew that the king was very considerate of his subordinates. Therefore, if he wanted to let him rest, he had to start with the soldiers.
He looked up at the sky. It should be dawn in another three hours, so he might as well take a break. His thin lips moved and he uttered two syllables, "OK."
The empty space was brightly lit, and the military tents were set up in a short while. This was Dugu Yingcheng's order, and he wanted the king to rest more comfortably.
"Your Majesty, the tents have been set up, you should go and rest." Dugu Yingcheng had always been by Di Shitian's side to protect his safety. Seeing the soldier making a gesture, he spoke gently.
"I don't need it. Give it to the injured soldiers." Emperor Shitian sat on the big bluestone, looking into the distance without raising his eyebrows. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew his emotions at the moment.
The reason why he allowed them to camp was to let the wounded soldiers rest. They were all his soldiers, and although it was spring and not very cold, it was always good to have a tent to rest.
Dugu Yingcheng said nothing, but bowed his head and accepted the order, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Also, pay more attention to the camp. If anything goes wrong, cover the wounded and escape!" In the current situation, he had to be cautious. He had to prepare for the worst. He didn't know how long this silence could last. However, he knew it wouldn't last long. "It's okay, let them rest early, hurry up."
"Yes, I understand." Dugu Yingcheng received the order and immediately turned around to carry it out, leaving Emperor Shitian sitting alone.
"Your Majesty, please have something to eat." A freshly roasted rabbit was held out to him. "All the food we brought with us was spilled, so we could only catch some game. There are no seasonings, so Your Majesty, please just eat some of it."
Looking at the roasted rabbit meat, the greedy face of the little thing appeared unconsciously in my mind. The little thing loves to eat meat the most. If she were there, she would definitely be very happy.
Taking the food handed over by Dugu Yingcheng, Di Shitian smiled.
Dugu Yingcheng was very pleased to see that smile. He knew without asking that the king must be thinking of the queen for such a warm smile. "Your Majesty, are you thinking of the queen?"
"Well, I wonder how the little thing is doing now. It should be... still dreaming." Little thing, in your dream, is there any lonely...
"The Queen is blessed by God and will be fine. As soon as we reach a safe area, I will bring her back immediately."
"No, I'll go myself." This time, the little thing must be angry, so he had to go himself. Otherwise, she would definitely not come back.
Di Shitian leaned against the stone, his body in the best defensive posture, and Dugu Yingcheng also leaned beside him, guarding Di Shitian.
In front of me, I lit a fire to ward off the cold, which was crackling in the lonely night.
Knowing that they were in a dangerous place, Di Shitian and others did not sleep deeply.
Dugu Yingcheng saw that Di Shitian had fallen asleep, and just as he was about to get up and cover him with clothes, a silver spear suddenly came at him diagonally. Dugu Yingcheng was alert, and at the critical moment, he kicked on the bluestone, and his body suddenly turned backwards. His right hand became a claw, and he moved as fast as lightning, tightly grasping the spear shaft, and pulled hard. With a bang, someone fell to the ground in a mess.
At the same time, his deep phoenix eyes opened. He swung his palm violently, knocking the man who was about to attack him unconscious. Di Shitian jumped and stood up, standing back to back with Dugu Yingcheng. "There is an assassin, protect the king!"
As Dugu Yingcheng's warning sounded, the sound of fighting suddenly rang out. The sky was filled with sharp swords and flames. Wherever they went, there was a mess of flesh and blood, and the charred bones of the dead were everywhere. The sharp swords pierced the hearts of those defenseless soldiers, and blood and killing swept across the land in an instant.
The sky was spinning, the heat waves were surging, clouds and wildfires were striking the sky, swords and shadows were sweeping across the sky, and for a moment, I felt as if I had fallen into the vast ocean, ups and downs.
A dozen men in black surrounded Di Shitian and Dugu Yingcheng, holding ropes with barbed hooks in their hands and waving them continuously.
The men in black looked at each other, then as if half-planned beforehand, simultaneously threw the hooks at them.
Emperor Shi Tian and Dugu Yingcheng flew up at the same time and stood on the net made of ropes.
Looking at the well-prepared man in black, Dugu Yingcheng frowned, "Your Majesty, be careful."
"You should be careful too." It seems that this time, he is really in danger of death. But the only thing to be thankful for is that the little thing is not there.
Dugu Yingcheng drew his sword and tangled with a man in black. Seeing this, the man in black quickly retracted the rope, dodging and attacking at the same time.
The attacking moves of these dozen people were very strange, as if they were specially targeted at them. They were always able to dodge them perfectly.
The situation on Emperor Shi Tian's side was not optimistic either. For the first time, he felt that these small fry were difficult to deal with.
The ropes were thrown out and retracted neatly, always dodging when Emperor Shi Tian attacked. This scene was as if they had practiced it, and they had completely figured out Emperor Shi Tian's attack routine. This was not a good sign for them. (To be continued)
