Chapter 523: Awakening
Xinlan can indeed do better, praising Dongfang, she can easily find the skeleton that is hiding, and Xiao Xiaolong's ice dragon roar can't get around Xinlan's obstacles, plus the ability of the saint-level praise master and healer, the soldiers' injuries are also recovering quickly and will have stronger combat power, even if the four of them join forces, it will not be their opponent.
It's a pity that Xinlan doesn't plan to do her best, or rather, the best she imagines is very different from everyone's hopes - don't forget, this Xinlan's strategy is to make peace with Gu Meng.
"Run!"
Seeing that Xinlan's point was about to stop, the skeleton immediately sent a divine thought to Ye Duan and the others, of course, the discord between them had not been eliminated, but now was not the time to say that.
Ye Duan and the others were very angry, but they still turned around and ran as soon as possible, and Song Jun wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Xinlan.
"Lord Xinlan, why don't you let us go after us!" a soldier protested loudly.
Even if Xinlan's healing skills are outstanding, the dead cannot be saved, and the magic that gives three days of yang restoration is only a pseudo-resurrection, there are many restrictions, and the average soul will not accept it.
"I know. Xinlan's face was indifferent, but she was unmoved.
Someone tried to chase it alone, but was teleported back by Chen Duyun. At the moment, when this practice appeared, people naturally ignored Chen Duyun and glared angrily at Xinlan.
"Enough, the whole army retreats!" Li Qingzhao suddenly ordered.
Of course, she could only command her own subordinates, but with her leading the team to respond to Xinlan's call, everyone's resistance momentum weakened all of a sudden.
"General Li......" Someone wanted to stop Li Qingzhao, but she was swept away by the whip.
"Our priority is to protect the Institute and obey orders!"
The defenders of the institute had long been accustomed to Li Qingzhao's thinking, and no one hesitated, and the general who was swept away turned around and glanced at his subordinates, and found that they also had different opinions, so they had to retreat in a huff, and after that, there was no other opposition.
"Thank you very much for saving your life, Qingzhao will definitely repay you in the future. ”
Before leaving, Li Qingzhao came to Chen Duyun and hugged his fists to thank him.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. ”
Chen Duyun deliberately declined, but Li Qingzhao obviously took this favor to heart, bowed deeply, and led the army to leave.
The other generals also began to lead the team to retreat, but Chen Duyun only asked Niu Gao and Ma Niancai to lead the crowd to standby, and then walked towards Xinlan's side.
He didn't believe that Xinlan would do nothing like that.
Sure enough, the moment he approached, Yan Ya flew down with the summoning bird, Xinlan jumped up lightly, and before Chen Duyun could react, he was grabbed by the claws of the summoning bird and flew into the sky together.
"Will you come up yourself?"
Chen Duyun couldn't laugh or cry, but still used the transfer magic to fly onto the back of the summoned bird.
"Sister, they're here. ”
Without continuing to deal with Chen Duyun, Yan Ya cast a spell and released a three-dimensional light curtain map, marking the place where they and Xiao Zhenlong and the four people were.
"Let's go over and don't let everyone find out. ”
"Yes. Yan Ya drove the summoned bird to speed up and fly towards the target location.
"Twilight, thank you. ”
On the short journey, Heartland.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. ”
Chen repeated the lines, but instead of pretending that it wasn't that great, he really felt that he had just done something insignificant.
Some people may question Xinlan's domineering behavior just now, but Chen Duyun understood Xinlan's scruples after just a little thought.
The three-month preparation time set by Attila was obviously more beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, which had just ended the civil war, but this kind of order knew with his toes that there would be people who would secretly resist, and this Xiao Shenlong incident was the best example.
The Great Song Dynasty needs time, but if this kind of local conflict is not handled well, it will lead to a full-scale conflict, and then more people will die.
This is not a matter of abandoning the choice of a few people to protect the majority, but a matter of judgment that is self-willed and takes into account the overall situation, and as a high-level national leader, it is necessary for Xinlan to think on behalf of people who have lost their calm and judgment.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them caught up with Xiao Jianlong and the others, they obviously didn't expect to be caught up so quickly, after Xiao Zhenlong's resistance was easily broken, the skeleton quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The stealth stunt of "Devil's Pace" is the hole card that his weakest eighth-order survives, but he has nothing to hide in front of Yan Ya and Xinlan, and Xiao Zhenlong, who has the soul of the Frost Dragon, is so easy to defeat, what can he do if he doesn't surrender?
But Xinlan didn't accept its surrender, because she saw that this skeleton had a soul mark in its mind, and as long as it really surrendered, it would blow itself up - Xinlan was not afraid and could protect others, but this was contrary to her goal.
"I'm here to make peace with the forces behind you. ”
The three people outside Xiao Zhenlong were all stunned, and the fastest reaction was the skeleton, and he immediately stood up and straightened his waist, looking like a villain.
Of course, the skeleton didn't have much expression, but when it opened its mouth and smiled and the ghost light in its eyes jumped out, anyone could see what it was thinking, so it was knocked to the ground by Yan Ya in the next moment with a few heavy wind blades.
"If you dare to fight me, you won't be afraid that we will go to war!" the skeleton quickly got up and threatened viciously, after understanding the weakness of the Great Song, it was the same as before.
"Shut up!" Yan Ya continued to beat it, and with the blessing of Xinlan's praise technique, she inherently restrained this skeleton who took stealth and sneak attacks as her housekeeping skills.
"The man from the Liao Kingdom...... Is it all like this?" Xinlan didn't stop Yan Ya, and asked Duan Ye and the others instead, "I'm sorry, I hope you can cooperate." ”
Some people may wonder that Xinlan Yanya's approach is not at all like a hope for peace, but the skeleton's performance cannot make people trust that it can represent the country and the Great Song Dynasty in diplomacy, but the more calm Ye Duan and the two are worth looking forward to.
However, the current situation is that Xinlan has a strength advantage, so Xinlan is not saying that she puts herself in a weak position just considering Gu Meng's overall strength, and knocking one side to put pressure on the other two is the policy she is taking now.
It's a pity that she can't know that the country behind Ye Duan and the others is weaker than the Liao State even if they add up, and if they look at the Liao State again, Ye Duan and the others won't explain it, but they have already understood Xinlan's intentions.
"I'm sorry, it's impossible, the Great Khan's orders are absolute. Ye Xu took the lead in shaking his head.
Xinlan had heard this more than once.
"I'm from Dali, I think His Royal Highness Xinlan should have heard of our country, right?" Duan Zhengyan smiled bitterly.
"If your country is willing to conclude a peace treaty with us, we will guarantee your independence. ”
Even if it was a peaceful domain, Xinlan didn't want to miss it, but Duan Zhengyan's final reply was exactly the same as Ye Xu.
"Are you stupid?"
The skeleton that was beaten so that it couldn't take care of itself screamed, it knew very well that there could be no truce, but Xinlan didn't know it, if it was it, she had already pretended to agree to seek benefits, at least to let herself leave safely, and now that they were handed over like this, are they far from death?
Ye Duan and the others ignored the skeleton, but their negotiations did not end there.
"Although we can't say the forces behind it, we are willing to be hostages, and we only ask His Highness Xinlan to save Brother Xiao!" the two knelt down in unison.
This is something they secretly discussed on the way to flee before, they can't do anything about Xiao Zhenlong's state, and they can't change their country's position, the only way to do it is to sell themselves.
"Kill our people of the Great Song Dynasty, and still want to use your bargaining chips in the original negotiation?" Yan Ya stopped and glanced at the two of them coldly.
Duan Zhengyan did not give up.
"Even if you kill me, it doesn't matter, please ask His Royal Highness Xinlan to cure Brother Xiao, he is different from us, he has always regarded himself as a Great Song person, please!"
Ye Xuan sighed.
"In exchange, I can provide the corresponding information, or His Highness Xinlan can directly touch me to read the information. ”
"You may not be able to feel it, but the blessing of the stars is indeed in you. Xinlan shook her head lightly.
The most mysterious power in the land of Gumeng is none other than the power of the stars, which blocks foreign snooping on Gumeng, and at the same time hides in the bodies of Gumeng's masters and powerhouses, preventing them from leaking secrets.
It's just that for some reason, Xinlan always feels that this power is pretended to be mysterious, in order to attract people to explore the land of Gumeng...... But this thought is just a flash, throughout the ages, only a few people rushed to this barren starry land, and at the same time they took their lives to get into it, Xinlan had no intention of following in their footsteps
"I'll try to wake him up, though. ”
It's not that I'm impressed, even Xinlan can't be impressed. The real reason is that skeletons cannot be trusted, but Xiao Zhenlong is different, and he can have this level of strength, which reflects his unusual status in Gumeng.
So, Xinlan put her hand on the head of the Xiaoling dragon that was suppressed on the ground.
