Knowing the importance of the dragon chariot, Umi held back at the end and let those dragons who were willing to surrender survive. The premise is that they must continue to serve mankind with shackles. In the face of the choice between life and death, many flying dragons still chose to submit, but the number was much less than before, and even the matter of sending the lord back to the territory had to be carried out in batches.
Bai and Hei were the first group to leave the capital, while Li De and Bai Huang were the last group.
On the day of leaving, Bai Huang walked in front, followed by Li De who was covered in bags all over his body.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I won't be able to catch up with the dragon carriage!"
Bai Huang, who was only carrying a small bag, urged heartlessly.
Lide, who had already started working as a coolie before his injuries healed, could barely keep up with her, and said out of breath:
"It's not that you insisted on buying that rope in the end. You also told the clerk something like [I want the kind that binds people], [It's full of elasticity], [It won't strangle people] and so on, which made people pull It took me a long time to popularize science, but in the end my eyes didn't look right... Damn, I said why it's so heavy, and I even stuffed two candles in!"
Bai Huang let out a "tss", put his hands in his arms, and said:
"Originally, my aunt used it for bungee jumping, but I need the kind that is strong and not painful."
The two ran all the way to the vicinity of the dragon cart, where guards had already been waiting there for a long time. Alaya and Heji were also waiting there, because Baihuang didn't like to follow too many guards when shopping, so Lide was the only one to accompany her. Unexpectedly, Bai Huang bought so many at one go, and bought a lot of Wangdu's special dresses, jewelry, and cosmetics. He didn't care about the price, all he wanted was to be happy.
Alaya took a stack of packages from Lid, and helped Lid share a lot of weight.
The guard at the side said:
"Just now, the three city lords, Noren, Kaiya and Fangyuan, have left first. Are you two leaving now?"
Bai Huang asked strangely:
"The one named Fang Yuan left too? I thought he would go with us."
Lied smiled and said nothing.
Bai Huang immediately showed a happy look, crossed his hips and said:
"Forget it, that fat man left as soon as he left. My aunt didn't like him at first, but now she's completely out of sight and out of mind. Otherwise, seeing his humble and duplicitous appearance will really affect my mood."
After getting on the dragon cart, not long after the flying dragon took off, Bai Huang tied the rope around his ankle and went to play bungee jumping.
Li De didn't bother to stop her, and Bai Huang never stopped doing things until he reached his goal. He was so pitiful for He Ji, who was so frightened out of his wits by Bai Huang, that every time Bai Huang fell down, he would stand on the back of the dragon and ask loudly:
"Miss, are you okay?"
Bai Huang turned a deaf ear to it, and just kept yelling "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
When Bai Huang was tired from jumping, he asked Heji to pull her up. After walking two steps and found her legs were weak, she simply lay down on the dragon's back and rolled comfortably, but she didn't expect to bump into something while rolling. something, had to stop.
Bai Huang sat up, looked to the side, and found that it was Li De who was also lying on the dragon's back, looking at the sky in ecstasy.
Bai Huang patted Lide's chest and asked:
"What's the matter."
Lied replied:
"It's nothing, think about something."
Bai Huang hugged her legs and asked:
"What's up?"
"Dragon matter."
When mentioning the dragon clan, Bai Huang was filled with righteous indignation, patted the dragon's back and complained to Li De. Li De and Fang Yuan left that night, while Bai Huang and Heji stayed behind to persuade the people in Tiance Mansion to calm down. But that night, for some reason, the soldiers of Tiance Mansion couldn't calm down at all. While going to attack the prison to rescue Jin Ling, they also went straight to the palace to meet the king. They were so confused that they didn't know what they were doing. They didn't listen to what Bai Huang said at all, and finally the Dragon Clan came after making a fuss. Heji took Bai Huang and ran away all the way. Thanks to them not being locked in the Xuanqing Palace, they could run away immediately, otherwise they would With the realm level of these two people, it is really difficult to survive.
This journey of escape was extremely thrilling, and Bai Huang was still angry when he mentioned it.
"I don't know why, but the Tiance Mansion just couldn't calm down that night. In the end, even the people who planned to guard the national formation abandoned their responsibilities and went to make trouble together. It won't be ruined by someone like King Xi."
Bai Huang was still a little aggrieved when he mentioned this matter.
Lid smiled, looked at the blue sky above his head, sighed, and said:
"Yeah. That's why I think we've been tricked."
Bai Huang raised his eyebrows:
"Tricked? By whom?"
Lid said quietly:
"Umi, and Jin Ling."
Bai Huang had a question mark in his head and scratched his hair in puzzlement.
Lid clasped his hands behind his head and said:
"I don't know if I guessed right, but this matter is indeed a bit strange. All the city masters arrived in the capital intact that day, and only the two of us were brought to Tianyue Mountain inexplicably. Then the scene that happened , It feels like someone is pushing us away. You brought the matter of Tianyue Mountain to the king, which led to the struggle between Chao Wang and Xi Wang, and I made the situation in favor of Chao Wang. , so King Xi had to adopt some special measures. However, because of this method, Chao Wang, Umi, and Jin Ling, who had lived in the capital for a long time, were not aware of it at all, and were caught off guard. Do you think this is normal? ?"
Bai Huang lay down beside Li De, and asked in a tone of disbelief:
"You think too much. Maybe it's just that Wumi is too good. After all, when we talked to him, we didn't think he was very powerful. Even in Tianyue Mountain, he was almost killed by Xi The assassin sent by the king was killed. Besides, what good is it for them if the king's capital is destroyed like this?"
A white cloud passed over Lid, leaving a shadow on him.
"some."
Lide closed his eyes, tapped the dragon's back lightly with his fingers, and said:
"It's better to break and then build than to be hard to come back."
Bai Huang said angrily:
"What do you mean, can you explain it more clearly? Are you happy with your aunt?"
Lide laughed, sat up, clasped his hands together, stared at the scales on the dragon's back, and said:
"Do you remember, I told you briefly. The game in the capital city cannot be solved by ten ministers and ten generals, nor can he be solved by Umi alone. The key to the game in the capital city lies in the explosion of the number of royal families Growth makes the originally stable pyramid structure into an inverted pyramid. One person rules ten people, the person above will live comfortably, and the ten people below will not be too tired; five people rule ten people, and both sides will not live well It’s such a good day. Twenty people rule ten people. You can see what the situation is like when you think about it. The royal family has a lot of power and has nothing to do. What they do every day is to have children, keep giving birth, and give birth until they are full. The streets are full of royal families, and you can kill one or two by throwing a brick when you go out. All royal families are born noble, enjoy all kinds of privileges, eat for free and don’t work, and bully men and women to do bad things, making the people miserable It's unspeakable. If this situation is thrown at you, what can you do?"
The shadow of the cloud slowly drifted away, and Lide continued:
"Whether Umi or Jin Ling are ministers. Have you ever seen ministers who have moved the royal family? Who would dare? If you don't want your life, you can donate it to those in need. Doing so is pure waste. And Whether it is the dynasty or the king, even if they see this, there is nothing they can do. Those who cannibalize the country are their relatives, and it is impossible for them to do it. So in the end, the land managed by the entire royal family seems to be still rich, but The strength of the royal family has been declining year by year. There is no way, we can’t start here, we can only squeeze the common people, and the final result is that 300,000 people in Tianyue Mountain are homeless. If you want to save the capital, There's only one way..."
Li De didn't finish his sentence, Bai Huang shuddered and felt goosebumps all over his body.
She turned over and sat up, and asked in surprise:
"You mean that Umi and Jin Ling joined forces and let King Xi and the others call the Dragon Clan, just to let the Dragon Clan kill those useless royal moths living in the capital for them?!"
Lid looked away and said lightly:
"If you do this, King Xi, Graeme, and Tamrose will take the blame. The people will scold them, and the surviving royal family will resent them, but Umi not only picks herself clean, but also borrows The matter of [Fighting the Dragon Clan] slapped a lot of prestige, and really took over power from all parties, and became a veritable prime minister in white."
The cold sweat on Bai Huang's cheeks dripped onto the dragon's back.
She shook her head with a wry smile and said:
"No, it can't. It's all your guesswork, isn't it?"
Lied nodded frankly:
"Yeah. They played this game of chess very well, there is no flaw at all, and don't even think about catching any evidence. To be honest, if it wasn't for Nayin—that is, Lanna's maid, the one whose clothes were stripped by you That little girl told me that the dragon chariot was under the management of Tiance Mansion when I ran away with me, I wouldn't even think about it."
Bai Huang blinked his eyes, as if he had figured it out, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "gulu".
Lid stopped looking at her and just said:
"Your character of being a hero and fighting against injustice has long been known far and wide. If I were Wumi, I would choose you as this chess piece. General Jin Ling of the Tiance Mansion has long helped Wumi and arranged for the dragon carriage to carry us Go to Tianyue Mountain and let you meet the victims there, you will naturally think of stabbing this matter to the king in order to save those 300,000 people. In this way, everything will be arranged logically It seems to be full of uncertainty, but in fact, if you look back and think about it carefully, there is only one possible ending now. Whether it is the palace or property, it is nothing. The only serious loss is a great swordsman with ten levels of swordsmanship , but Qingyun dispersed the sword energy in the capital, and it won't be long before a new great swordsman will be born in the capital... Their calculations are very clear."
Bai Huang felt that his breathing became more and more difficult.
A kind of fear from the bottom of her heart filled her heart, Bai Huang couldn't help asking:
"They... They never thought about how many people would die in Tianyue Mountain, or how many innocent people would be implicated in the king's city? The wind and snow are endless, the scorched earth is full of smoke, how many people died without bones! Their hearts are like stones If you do it, won't it hurt?!"
Lied was silent for a while, then replied:
"Yes. It's just that they know in their hearts that if they want to save this country, it is impossible not to die. Think about it, when you were a child, there were only a few hundred people, and it would be difficult for you to get the first place in the exam. Bai Yiwei started from this vast The world chooses the strongest commoner to be the prime minister in white clothes, that person must not only have wisdom, but also ambition, and more importantly... he must have skills."
Bai Huang felt a little depressed, and quickly asked:
"Will Yuxi City become like this one day?"
A smile appeared on Lied's face, and he said lightly:
"Won't."
Bai Huang asked:
"Why?"
Lid glanced at her and replied:
"Because Wumi and Jin Ling didn't learn their skills! There is no happiness in the world that can be obtained without sacrifice, but I, Yuxi City, never sacrifice my own innocent people. If you want to die, let those damn ones die. Whoever stands in the way?" In front of us, we will make whoever disappears forever. Count on me to offer tribute like burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and let him have his dream of Spring and Autumn—"
Bai Huang put his hand on the back of Li De's hand, and gradually he became less afraid.
But soon, she fell backwards, lying on the dragon's back in large characters, with a bitter and bitter tone:
"Damn it, let my father and brother know about it, so I have to take my skin off. Lide, you must speak for me when the time comes, please."
Lide laughed, patted her on the shoulder, and said:
"Don't worry. Wangdu should be in touch with your father soon. Most likely, he will place a big order to purchase supplies from you Yunhai. Your father won't blame you too much for taking advantage of it."
"Really?!"
Bai Huang sat up all of a sudden, crossed her legs, and said:
"How do you know everything? Is there anything in this world that you don't know?"
Li De lay on his back on the dragon's back, squinting his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.
He went through the incident methodically in his head again.
Most of the doubts have been cleared up.
There is only one point of doubt, which is about Fangyuan. He always felt that Fangyuan was hiding something from him, and he couldn't guess it, and he didn't bother to guess it. He didn't kill Fangyuan, and he didn't tell anyone about Fangyuan's help in recruiting the Dragon Clan. It was because Fangyuan was still needed in the north of Yuxi City to block Lord Zhaochen for him, and also because he wanted to see what Fangyuan would do if this went on. ending.
But there was only one thing that was strange, and that was the maid named Magpie following behind Fang Yuan.
When Magpie saw Alayah for the first time, there was an obvious change in his eyes.
It was a look almost shocked.
Although it was only a flash, Lid happened to see it.
Maybe she'll know something about Alayah. Because Alaiya's memory was broken at the place where she was hunted down, she couldn't recall much of the previous events.
However, even if Fang Yuan asked the magpie for help, Fang Yuan probably wouldn't do it honestly.
Unless you completely tear your face apart with him and meet each other in battle.
After thinking about it, Lide decided to forget it. To him, it doesn't matter what Alayah was like before, it's not cost-effective to mess up the development rhythm of Yuxi City for some irrelevant things.
so be it. Anyway, what should be earned is not less, right
In Longbei's hotel, Alaiya was sitting on the bed, carefully cleaning the weapon case brought back by the young master.
Inside was a strange staff, and a bunch of iron rings that I don't know what to do with.
