Chapter 453: Can't Do It?
He was willing to say, and we ate and listened. Although I don't understand what he means by this, filling my stomach is also a big deal. Soon, however, the patriarch, who had been talking nonsense, explained the purpose of "invited" us here.
"I hope to join forces with the Dragon Clan and win the world together!" "The patriarch sitting on the throne held up the exquisite wine lord to us, and the fox and I were stunned together, and then exchanged glances.
Such a proud and ambitious words were said by him with a cold face and in a tone that did not change, which really made people a little unable to react.
I was holding the same delicate wine jue in my hand, there are still a lot of this kind of things in Wolong Valley, but when I was "mixing" outside, I found that everyone used kiln porcelain wine glasses or wine bowls with a variety of colors and styles.
The copper wine jue is still kept here, presumably to maintain the tradition of the Wuxian people. The pattern of the big tree and the low house on the wine jue make me always think about Wuxian country unconsciously.
"The patriarch's good ambition is admirable! But the Fenglong clan swore five hundred years ago to ignore the world and hide from the world. I am afraid that it will not be possible to do this thing of taking the world together. The fox pulled out his most trademark courtly smile and held up the bartender to refuse.
As his wife, I naturally kept the husband and wife in one mind, and acquiesced in his answer to the wine lord.
"Can't do it?" the patriarch didn't drink, but lowered his eyelids lightly to hide the sharpness in his eyes. A few elders beside him immediately raised their eyebrows and glared at him, except for the round old man whose eyes were always slit.
Qi Jingyuan ignored their angry eyes as if they were air, took a sip of wine, and put a piece of meat in his mouth and chewed it.
I just raised my eyebrows and didn't speak, don't look at the fox is "normal" like this now, in fact, he must be trembling with anger in his heart. The "dragon girl" Fan Xiaoleng, who was in charge of taking care of the white dragon, cried into a puddle of water, and was thrown directly into the prison without the permission to take care of the white dragon.
The reason was that she deliberately ran to block the road and not let us in.
Fan Xiaoleng's feelings for Bailong are more solid than real money, but in the eyes of these people, I can't see the slightest cherishment or importance. The reason why Bailong was punished has something to do with Xiaoniang.
From the dispute between Fang Cai Xiaoleng and the patriarch, I heard that the reason why Bai Long was tortured was not because he had committed a great crime against the sky.
It's just because it failed to rescue the thief from the Ghost Valley in the first place, let alone kill the thief! The order given by the patriarch is simply an order that the white dragon chooses to replace with the guilt that cannot be completed!
Dragons are the most loyal species, and once they choose their master, they will obey their orders.
But is your next order to kill the dragon while saving someone and killing that person? In the dragon's clever but monotonous mind, the command they carry out is either "save" or "kill".
The patriarch said that Fan Xiaoleng gave an order and asked Bailong to save people first, but he killed him if he couldn't bring anyone out.
Not to mention the white dragon, any dragon will only choose the first cut to execute this kind of order after all kinds of entanglements. They don't and don't understand why the same person has the paradox of "saving and killing".
Of course, in the eyes of human beings, this is not a contradiction at all. But dragons are different!
"Can you cut off the old nest of the Henggong fish, destroy the cloud wall that has trapped the sea and the homeland of Wuxian for hundreds of years, and also clean up the intestineless male and sink the floating island into the sea. You have such a skill, and you actually said that you can't do it?" the bald elder next to the third elder spoke.
He was the second elder, with a bald head, long beard, dark skin, straight eyebrows, a face like a stone carving, and a string of beast skulls with interlaced canine teeth hanging from his neck. It's like a monster from a weird legend.
The mellow old man is the Great Elder, and Fang Xiaoxiao cried and called him grandpa, it seems that it is the Fan family who is in charge of how to train the dragon.
The four elders are more like the legendary witch people, with high hats and flowing robes, and a bronze staff with white feathers and a white fox's tail standing beside his hand. The eyebrows and eyes seem to be outlined with thick ink, and the long face is picturesque, as long as you close your eyes, you are like a person in a painting.
"That's just a coincidence. The fox swallowed the dish in his mouth, and blocked his doubts back with a perfunctory word.
At the right time, the four elders opened a pair of eyes with bags under their eyes: "Two, it is an honor to help me in the great cause of the restoration of the Wuxian Kingdom to dominate the world. Don't toast and skip food, eat prison meals. If you know each other, hurry up and hand over the dragon training secret technique and the map of seclusion, otherwise you can only sleep in the Yellow Spring. ”
When he threatened us with a gloomy face, I had only one thought in my mind - it turned out that he had a pair of dead fish eyes.
The fox didn't speak, but took a wooden spoon and scooped out the liquor from the copper kettle next to him and added it to his own bowl, adding a chicken leg to my bowl by the way: "Come, they make good steamed chicken, eat more." ”
"You!" The fourth elder's eyes widened in anger at his "arrogance", which was more like a dead fish's eye, and I raised my hand and pushed my chin and closed my half-open mouth.
Still the patriarch was calm, he put the wine lord on the table, and slowly lifted his eyelids: "Your Fenglong clan has been silent for more than five hundred years, and you must have cultivated enough spirit and full of sharpness to prepare to annex the world, right?"
This time, the fox didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
"I'm sorry, our Dragon Clan has no quarrel with the world, we just want to live in peace with the dragon, and we really don't have any idea of annexing the world. I replied to him on behalf of the fox, "Nothing outside has anything to do with us." However, as long as it has something to do with dragons, it has something to do with us. ”
I put down my chopsticks and poured the wine from the wine jue on the table: "I once again advise all seniors to be cautious when training dragons. Don't overdo it, you'll only end up hurting yourself. ”
Not to mention the abuse of the dragon clan and all kinds of fierce beasts, just destroying the dragon is enough for me and the fox to go to the house to expose the tiles! However, we must leave this revenge to Mrs. Xu herself, so that his brother's family can rest in peace.
"Stinky girl, you still kick your nose in the face?!Patriarch, if you don't give them some color, they won't realize what kind of situation they are in!"
This time it was the Third Elder who roared, he broke a brown bear in our hands, and lost face, and he had long been eager to find a reason to kill us. It was as hideous as if we had just dug up his ancestral grave.
The patriarch on the throne touched his beard, and knocked back and forth on the table with one hand, but did not speak.
At the right time, a barefoot boy ran in with his head down, the boy tied his horns, dressed in a crescent white brocade shirt, with big cuffs hanging down, but his pants were like lanterns. The two trouser legs were tightened above the ankles, the hem was rolled in red brocade, and a string of silver bells was worn on the left ankle.
It looks like a delicate doll coming down from a painting.
