Chapter 120: A fire in the backyard
If this is also God's plan, then why did God leave a piece of paper to warn these three men not to hurt themselves? The old fox has already hurt him, won't he be killed by the old fox in four years (almost a year has passed)?
It can only be said that when people reach such a time, any illusion will exist, and they will continue to follow this fantasy. Like a person who has fallen into the water, when he sees a straw floating on the water, he will subconsciously grab it, even if his body sinks to the bottom of the water, he will firmly grasp it and not let go.
Lin Qian is now such a mentality, he is not so brave and fearless, and there is no righteousness, he is afraid of death, he is afraid of death, he is afraid of giving up everything he has in this world, he is afraid that he will never be able to figure out the secret of his arrival, and he is afraid that he will not complete all the previous words until he dies......
After thinking about it for a long night and meditating for a while, Lin Qian fell asleep, but he didn't know that Xiao Yi in the opposite courtyard didn't sleep well all night because of his business.
The next day, Lin Qian finally saw his teacher Wanbing Phantom King again, and at the same time brought a piece of news that puzzled him—"The Dragon Clan Patriarch said that if you have time, you can go to Dragon Valley as a guest. ”
This is a strange thing. The territory of the dragon clan itself is very mysterious, and only two humans in the world, the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers and Lipsus, know the location, besides, hasn't the dragon clan always strictly forbidden humans to disturb, and it is really strange to take the initiative to invite Lin Qian.
"You can put it first, the patriarch has time to wait for you. Raymond added.
"Well, now there's something important to do. Lin Qian explained the purpose of going to Canglan City to negotiate.
"Leave this to me, how many people are you going to take with you?" Although the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King is a strong man, he can't take care of it if he protects too many people.
"Just me and Elena, and the rest are servants. ”
"Don't ask for it, servant, just let Raymond do it for you, the four of us are enough. "The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers has reduced his personnel to the extreme.
"This ......" Raymond was upset, and the dignified dragon went to be a servant, but he did not dare to provoke the evil star, and even the patriarch was very polite to him.
"Then it's decided. Lin Qian was so happy.
Elena first sent a team of people to Blue City to submit a request for negotiation, but Nanyang's side was also sensible, agreed to the peace talks, and took the initiative to invite the other party to come to negotiate.
Bidding farewell to Xiao Yi and Sophia, Lin Qian handed over everything here to Madeley, and took the old and the young to sit on Raymond's back and went straight to the Blue City, which had been absent for several months.
On the way, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King learned that Lin Qian had obtained the right hand of the gods, and he was also surprised and embarrassed, but a trace of worry gradually appeared in his eyes.
With Raymond's speed, it would take a few hours to reach the palace, but Lin Qian did not let him go directly, but landed outside the city gate, on the one hand, for fear of causing misunderstanding, and on the other hand, he also had the meaning of respecting Nanyang.
The sergeant guarding the city hurriedly reported to the city, and not long after, a man in Nanyang costume stood at the city gate and shouted at Lin Qian and his party in an unfamiliar mainland language: "Who is coming?"
"Lin Qian!"
Before Lin Qian could reply, another Nanyang man suddenly appeared on the city gate and recognized Lin Qian, it was Achill.
"Exactly. Lin Qian didn't have a good impression of him, and replied lightly.
"Then come in. Archir, too, resented him, ordered the gates to be opened, and sent someone to inform the Elder.
Raymond also turned into a human form at this time, and a group of four, oh no, three people and a dragon, strode into the city gate.
There was already a team waiting inside the door, and Achill took the lead, leading Lin Qian all the way to the post house. This scene seems familiar to Lin Qian, but Lin Qian and Achill have swapped places, and now Achill has become the owner here.
"Princess, how are you doing?" Achill thought about Elena and took the initiative to talk to her in the middle of the group.
"Being with Brother Lin all day, of course, is a good life. Elena was angry with him, and the little princess had already understood what "jealousy" was.
Archer couldn't say a word when he was choked, so he could only glare at Lin Qian resentfully.
"Oops!" Elena suddenly exclaimed, "I'm so tired, I can't walk, Brother Lin, you can lead me away." ”
"Hey, okay. Lin Qian knew her thoughts, and pretended to be very honored to take her tender little hand.
Achill's face turned pale, and he hurried to the front of the group.
The people of Nanyang are very thoughtful, and there is no idle person in the clean post house, so it is estimated that the outsiders have already been cleaned out.
"Rest for now, and I'll go and inform the king. Achill said politely, turned and left.
Lin Qian and the others did not go back to their respective rooms, but gathered together to wait for contact, this place is not far from the palace, and it is estimated that someone will come soon.
"Brother Lin, how long are we going to stay here?"
"There will be no serious business today, it is better to arrange a dinner party, and officially start negotiations tomorrow morning, and how long you stay depends on whether the results of the negotiations will be satisfactory to both parties. This is the practice of peace talks, Lin Qian had inquired clearly from relevant people before, of course, this relevant person is the old fox who has been re-elected as the king of the "four generations".
Although the old fox is now bent on rescuing and resurrecting, he still has feelings for his kingdom, and when he learned that Lin Qian was going to negotiate peace with the other party on behalf of the northern forces, he must have helped Lin Qian.
In fact, as Lin Qian said, the group was invited to the Fulai Restaurant to attend a dinner, which was the first meeting between the heads of the two parties.
The host of the dinner was Potlime, and William was also present as the nominal king, anyway, it was the same with him or not, but this kid seemed to be very happy to see Elena, after all, the sister and brother were also the closest people in their generation.
On the Nanyang side, the nine elders were all here, and among the next generation, Achill was the only one, and even his two uncles did not come.
"Don't talk about business today, just eat. The Third Elder Yuris spoke first, and it seems that he is the representative of the Nanyang tribe in this negotiation.
The eldest elder is already old, and he is in poor health, and the second elder has a grudge against Lin Qian, which is naturally inappropriate, so the third elder, who has always been a little more rational, was appointed as a representative.
Lin Qian let go of his hands and feet to eat, and Elena also kept chatting with William while eating. Potlaim never moved his chopsticks, and his eyes were looking directly in the direction of the Phantom King. No wonder Lin Qian dared to bring the princess here, it turned out that he had something to rely on, the great elder was a little helpless, he didn't want to face this terrifying old man anymore.
"Last time you went to the Dragons to find help, how was it?" Potlime asked about a private matter that wasn't a personal matter.
The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers shook his head: "That old dragon is reluctant to go out, saying that he has other troubles, and he will not come after I persuade him for several days." ”
It was probably the only formal conversation of the night, and everyone ate in silence, even the Potlime moved a little.
After returning from dinner, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King suddenly said with some solemnity: "In the past few days, we have to act together except for sleeping at night, so as not to have accidents." ”
Lin Qian asked suspiciously, "Are they going to attack us?"
The Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King shook his head and sighed, provoking Lin Qian's speculation.
The reason why the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers is called the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers is that he can release illusion magic at will, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so I am afraid that his clone elsewhere has found out what is going on, which makes him worried.
Lin Qian's guess was right, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King did detect the danger, but it was not in the Blue City, but the place where Lin Qian had just left—Crystal City.
In the night, a dark shadow descended on the courtyard where Lin Qian lived before the Crystal City, followed by more sounds of breaking the air, controlling all the dark sentinels with lightning speed, so that everything that happened here was unaware of the outside world.
"Who?" Sophia sensed that something was wrong, woke up Xiao Yi, who was sleeping with her, got up and put on her coat and walked out, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she found a group of black-robed magicians standing outside the door.
"Who are you?" Sophia didn't rush to make a move, these people are not simple, they are so close, why don't they feel anything?
"They are Lipsus and his students. Xiao Yi slowly walked out of the house, knowing the identities of the group of people in front of her.
"Sister Xiaoyi?" Sophia was a little surprised, but she was worried that she would be hurt because she didn't know how to magic, so she hurriedly persuaded her, "You go in quickly, I'll deal with it here." ”
"You can't deal with any of them, and any of them are close to you. Xiao Yi's words frightened Sophia, so many people, what should I do?
The leader of the black-robed ones lifted his hat, and sure enough, it was Lipsus, who had not appeared for a long time, and he stared at Xiao Yi for a long time, and the doubts on his face still couldn't be solved.
"The old man has no malicious intentions, he just wants to know Lin Qian's whereabouts. Lipsus was polite to Xiao Yi, which was too different from his free-wheeling personality.
After Xiao Yi heard this, she turned her head and walked inside, and Sophia seemed to see another person in her for a moment.
"Come in, sister, they won't hurt you. Xiao Yi sat on the edge of the bed and spoke in a very calm tone.
Sophia closed the door in disbelief, and sure enough, there was no movement outside, but her doubts about Xiaoyi deepened.
"Sleep, safe tonight. Xiaoyi didn't seem to want to explain, so she fell asleep.
Sophia couldn't sleep after this incident, but she couldn't wake up Xiaoyi to ask for an explanation, so she had to sit on the edge of the bed and pay attention to the situation outside the house.
Lipsus saw that the door was closed, so he turned his head, took one casually, "sucked" a guard with a frightened face, and asked casually: "I'll only ask once, where did Lin Qian go?"
The guard didn't know whether to answer or not, and this hesitation resulted in his death, and he was cut in half by the space without even letting out a scream.
"Now I ask you, it's still that question. Lipsus turned to another guard, who had long been frightened.
He ...... He's gone to the Blue City. The man was cowardly and hastened to tell the truth, but he died without pain, just like the last.
"Watch this courtyard, no one is allowed to disturb the people in it without my orders. Lipsus confessed and disappeared where he was.
