Lied took Alaya and killed him from prison.
Ting Chao didn't make a move, and although the remaining guards were brave, Li De was not a vegetarian either. Coupled with the fact that the guards of the Twelve Dragon Barriers were relatively scattered, some fell asleep under the power of the little ghost, some were dismissed by Celius, and some accompanied Celius to meet the lord of West Qin. Not too many, Lide wanted to leave with all his heart, and they couldn't stop them.
But on the other hand, it would be very difficult for Li De to sneak into the Twelve Dragon Binding Prison again and bring Xiao Bai out.
Not only that, but he also had to take Alaya away from Yuanyang City overnight to avoid the tragedy of being caught in the urn. After this rescue, he was convinced that Celius, the presiding officer of the Central Taiwan Affairs Bureau, should be a trustworthy person, and Celius would not betray himself; but too many people saw his and Alaya's faces tonight, It is estimated that a large-scale manhunt will start in the city tomorrow morning, and it is meaningless to stay here.
The only gain is that Xiaobai desperately conveyed some secrets about Xiqin to Lide like a candidate who is still answering at the end of the exam. Although there are only a few short sentences, it contains a huge amount of information. Lide needs to find a quiet place to digest it slowly.
For the sake of safety, Lide did not take Alaya back to Bieyun Town, but rested in the wild jungle for one night.
The moon was thin and the cold wind was blowing. Alaya sat beside Lide, reminiscing about the sword intent she had just seen from Mr. Ting Chao.
Lide looked at the grass swaying in the wind, thinking about what Xiaobai said—
"Xiqin is the biggest believer in the abyss", this should be the conclusion Xiaobai came to after thinking about it, and it is also the reason why he was imprisoned.
This is the greatest darkness of Xiqin, and it is also the original sin of the territory of Xiqin.
"My mother is inseparable from Abyss." Xiaobai and Xiaohei should have the same biological mother. Is that woman a member of Abyss Church? Does Xiaobai's father know about this? Does Xiao Hei's father know about this? Was Xiaobai framed and imprisoned by that woman, or was it that the Xiqin lord was with her
On the last question, Lieder leans towards the latter.
On the way to Xiqin, he talked about this topic with Alaya. If a territory wants to quickly become stronger within a few years, institutional reforms alone are not enough, and a method of rapidly increasing production capacity is needed. If the lord of West Qin had cooperated with the Abyss Church a long time ago, then the two parties may indeed have reached some kind of agreement, which should be the reason why West Qin was able to overtake Southern Chu quickly at that time.
"They formed an alliance with the Dragon Clan and planned the largest blood sacrifice ceremony." From here on, Lide could feel that the information became more and more important, but the part he could verify was also becoming more and more limited.
Church of the Abyss forms an alliance with Dragon Clan? What exactly do they want, and what does the Dragon Clan want from them
Blood sacrifice ceremony? Is it like what they did in Lingwu at that time? But Klenas's soul is now in Lied's hands, and Klenas' body has left the Undersea Temple. What are they sacrificing? What sacrifices are you taking again
There are more and more mysteries.
But Lide couldn't ignore this information, because the recent movements of the Dragon Clan were really weird. Those guys didn't attack the human territory immediately, and Xihe, who was entrusted by Lide to investigate the news, was also missing. The two confusing mysteries seem to be slowly merging into a big net, covering Lidd in it.
And Xiaobai's last words also confirmed this point:
"Their next target is you."
Lied let out a breath and rubbed the space between his brows. The only thing he can be thankful for at this moment is that he trusted his intuition and came to Xiqin to meet Xiaobai. Although Xiaobai kept letting him go, at least judging from the current situation, the situation has not deteriorated to the point of irreversibility. If he really stays in Yunyang and develops, at most he can win a few more territories during this period, and when the Dragon Clan and Abyss really work together to get things done, Yunyang can't be alone.
Lide remembered the woman named Shi Yuan, that was the first time he met the senior members of the Church of the Abyss.
At that time, she said that as long as Li De joined the Church of the Abyss, Lord Yunyang's head could be presented within half a month.
Yunyang's civil strife doesn't need to break out at all, she can help Lide soldiers take Yunyang without bloodshed.
Now it seems that she may be able to do far more than that. The woman with the peach blossom eyes is unknown now, but Lide instinctively feels that this incident is probably related to her.
After all, it's not good to be associated with her.
Seeing that Lide finally moved, Alaya held the sword and asked softly:
"Master, the one sitting in the corner just now... is Mr. Ting Chao?"
Lied nodded, and he didn't intend to continue thinking about it, anyway, he couldn't draw any conclusions for a while. Since Alaya took the initiative to ask, he also responded accordingly:
"Yes. How is it, the first time we met, how do you feel?"
Alaya thought for a long time before replying:
"His sword is different from Qingyun or Garberd, two great swordsmen. Master Qingyun's sword intent is reserved, reserved but not released, and amazing when moved, and the sword intent itself stands for the common people, so although it is shocking, it is It's not a sharp weapon for killing people. Master Garberd's sword intent is both searching and invincible, so his sword energy is frenzied, his sword heart is clear, and his sword skills are the masters of a hundred schools of thought."
Lide further asked:
"What about those who listen to the tide?"
Alaya shook her head:
"...I don't see it, master."
Alaya thought for a while, and further explained:
"His sword is like the sea. The tide rises and falls with regularity, let nature take its course. But when he showed his murderous intent to the young master, the sword energy was extremely turbulent. I felt as if I was on the sea surface in a storm... all around I couldn't see the land, and I might be swallowed by the tide at any time. At that moment, my body was cold and I couldn't move."
Lied nodded, which he also recognized.
That sword, Mr. Ting Chao probably didn't use all his strength, otherwise the tsunami-like sword energy would not pass through the hall, and it is estimated that the entire dungeon could be blown away. Li De didn't know how the sword was practiced, but he could feel the artistic conception in it: usually, the sea is shimmering and the waves are roaring, quiet and vast; With boundless anger.
Just like Mr. Ting Chao in the rumors, he doesn't like disputes, dotes on his daughter, greets everyone with a smile, and will serve a pot of good wine to beggars. But when his daughter was kidnapped, he also killed 3,700 bandits with a single sword, causing blood to pour down outside Danyang, another important city in the Western Qin Dynasty at that time. It is said that Mr. Ting Chao was holding a sword in one hand and hugging his daughter in the other. He was elegant and elegant in his blue shirt, but in the eyes of others, he looked like a visitor from hell.
Such a person is now guarding Yuanyang City, outside Xiaobai's confinement room.
He didn't seem to mind the communication between Lide and Xiaobai, and he didn't bother to care about the abyss and the dragon clan.
But he obviously didn't allow Lide to take Xiaobai out of the dungeon alive.
Maybe for him, this is his job.
