Chapter 5 Escape without Worry
The cold moonlight casts on the earth, shining on the trees that are sprouting new shoots, and through the sparse branches, it casts mottled reflections on the ground, and also reflects on the carefree and obscure faces.
"Alas"
A deep sigh came from the mouth of Carefree, which was particularly striking in such a silent night.
At this time, Wuwu was dressed in a moon-white gown, sitting in front of the window, her original childish face was full of entanglements, she supported her cheeks with one hand, and tapped the wooden window edge with her fingertips with the other. In the originally silent atmosphere, it seems crisp and melodic.
After a deep sigh, she withdrew her hands, held her head in both hands, and rubbed her already messy hair fiercely, as if to vent her inner irritability.
Worry-free has been in the south wind for two months, and now it is early spring. After two months, with the help of her and Long Tian, the situation of Nanfeng was stabilized, and the internal and external troubles were also resolved under the suppression of violence against violence, and no one dared to easily offend the dignity of a glorious empire in the past.
And several big countries that were originally ready to fish in troubled waters have died down, and have changed the direction of the wind, saying that they are friendly with the south wind country, and several big countries that are eyeing each other are showing weakness like this, and the principalities below naturally dare not make any moves, so after two months of hard work, this test has been successfully completed.
It was originally a very happy thing to complete the task, but when the fourth exam came as scheduled, the originally excited carefree felt extremely difficult.
The Fourth Exam of the Hidden Race: Finding the Lost Scepter of the Goddess of Life.
The Scepter of the Goddess of Life is the most important weapon of the Goddess of Life, since the Goddess of Life fell asleep, it has been lost in the human world, and has been obtained by the second emperor of the Nanfeng Empire, becoming a national treasure of the Nanfeng Empire.
The worry-free entanglement is precisely because of this matter, if she didn't know Nantian, she could have sneaked into the royal tomb and stole this main artifact. But now that he and Nantian are friends of life and death, how can he steal his national treasure under the noses of others?
Even if Nantian is now the king of a country, he doesn't have the right to open the royal tomb and take out this main artifact, so he doesn't want to tell Nantian about his troubles.
Tomorrow is the day to leave the south wind, and the vague location of the royal tomb is a little known, but where it is, only the south wind royal family knows.
Now even if she wants to sneak into the royal tomb, it is even more difficult, but the ten exams of the hidden clan are imperative, now she is not alone, she still has the care of relatives behind her, and she can't bear to let her relatives be disappointed, so she has to explore this royal tomb.
"Tomb of the King of the South Wind, the Scepter of the Goddess of Life, I'm here!" After a long time of entanglement, Wu Wu secretly made up his mind in his heart, and the hesitation on his face subsided, making him feel a lot more relaxed.
Because she finally figured it out, it seemed that in order to exhale the depression in her heart, she accidentally blurted out a question.
"Ping Pong"
The sound of dishes falling to the ground came from behind him, and it also woke up the carefree who finally let go of his worries.
Carefree turned around and saw that he met a pair of eyes in disbelief and an angry expression.
The person who came was dressed in a luxurious palace dress, his hair was all tied up, and a golden crown of hair on his head looked not angry and arrogant.
Without waiting for Wu Wu to speak, a gloomy male voice sounded: "You said that you are going to the royal tomb to steal the scepter of the goddess of life?" ”
The person who came was none other than Nantian, the new emperor of the South Wind Empire.
After such a long time together, Nantian regards Wuwu as a good friend, and is particularly concerned about Wuwu, knowing that she will leave Nanfeng tomorrow, so he takes wine and food late at night and prepares to get drunk with Wuwu.
Who knows, a farewell, but Nantian overheard a news that made you angry. If it was someone else who said what he said just now, he would have been beheaded by Nantian under the sword a long time ago, but the person who spoke was worry-free, so Nantian forcibly endured his anger and blurted out the words of questioning.
He didn't realize that his voice was faintly trembling when he said this, yes, he was afraid, afraid of getting a positive answer, he hoped that he would say that he had heard it wrong, or deny it to him, even if it was a lie to him, as long as she denied it, he believed her.
However, Nantian was disappointed after all.
Seeing that Nantian had discovered his intentions, Wuwu, who was originally a little apprehensive in his heart, actually felt at ease, looked at Nantian deeply, and Wuwu nodded heavily with a ashamed and gloomy expression.
After receiving a worry-free affirmation, Nantian's resolute face showed a look of panic, and he took several steps back again and again before he leaned against the wall to stabilize his figure. For the first time, the decisive king looked frightened.
Nantian suddenly had a fear in his heart, he was afraid that he would become an enemy with Wuwu, he was afraid that he would lose his few remaining friends and become a real loner.
"For what?"
The man's voice was tired and loud, his fists clenched in anger, and his palms were torn by his fingernails. A few drops of blood trickled down the cracks in his hands and seeped into the crimson carpet and vanished.
At this time, Nantian's expression was extremely terrifying, like a husband caught his cheating wife and questioned her.
Seeing such an angry Nantian for the first time, Rao was used to seeing big scenes and couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing the blood in his palm, Wu Wu hurriedly used the light healing technique to help him treat his wounds.
Perhaps under the series of actions of Wu Wu, looking at Wu Wu's worried expression, Nan Tian's hideous face was slightly softened, he stood up straight, straightened his waist, and returned to the appearance of a high king.
"For what?"
It's the same question again, but the words at this time are all cold and without a trace of emotion.
Looking at Nantian, Wu Wu's heart was desolate, maybe he had lost this good friend, and said lightly: "As you heard, I am ready to enter the royal tomb and steal the scepter of the goddess of life!" ”
The carefree tone was full of helplessness, since the fourth test task came down, the two were destined to stand on opposite sides. So he didn't want to explain anything, and what could he do if he did, he would eventually be a stranger.
Listening to the worry-free words, the originally cold face of Nantian appeared with a sense of pain, as an emperor, joy is the most basic quality, originally he thought that he was doing a good job, but in the face of the betrayal of his best friend, he couldn't do it after all.
Seeing Nantian suffering like this, Wuwu felt uncomfortable in his heart, holding back his tears, and Wuwu passed by Nantian.
"I'm sorry, but I'm bound to get the Scepter of the Goddess of Life!"
Leaving a word full of apologies, he left the palace without looking back, and ended this hard-won friendship.
The moonlight was still cold, and it was difficult to soothe the anger in his heart when it shone on Nantian's gloomy face.
Standing quietly in the worry-free room for a long time, a trace of determination flashed on Nantian's face, and he quickly left the oppressive room and hurriedly chased in the direction of the palace gate.
Xingzhi Palace Gate has long disappeared from the worry-free figure, leaving only a place of moonlight.
Early in the morning, in the emperor's study, the chief of the guard respectfully knelt down on one knee in front of the emperor.
"The man in the painting is wanted in the whole country, and he must not be seriously injured, he can only be captured alive!" took out a neat stack of flower paper from his arms, and then threw it to the guards on the side, leaving a cold word, Nantian closed his eyes deeply.
