Chapter 13 Torre: The Secret of the New Town

As soon as the sun was high, Torre's sleigh rushed in the snow in the direction of his father's palace, and the wind struck and lifted the snow behind him, scattering countless particles of powder that glittered in the air. The sleigh www.biquge.info piloted by a young hunter, Fu Ming, who stood out in a hunting competition organized by Torre, and was clever and tough. During this visit, Tuolie knew that he might be rejected by his father again, so forcing him into the audience became Tuolie's final decision, and the map of the Crystal Kingdom given to him by the setting moon in his hand became the best gift for the audience.

It had indeed been a long time since Torret and Tho'an had seen their father with their own eyes. Ever since he came to the north to build a new capital, his father has been hiding in the palace, and he has not received anyone except a few witch doctors led by Ta Hyun, and even the king's orders have been conveyed by these witch doctors. Earlier, in the name of patrolling, Tuo Ian refused to meet with Tuo Lie, and it seems that the crown prince has long died of heart if he can see his father, and he also advised Tuo Lie not to touch the nails.

Thinking of this, Torret felt a dull mood, and he looked up at the clear blue sky, and some clouds like white wool floated softly past. The wind whistled through the sleigh, rolling up the snow and mist, which reminded him of what the national teacher had often told him about his father's pride twenty years ago when he was full of ambition to go south and sweep the Crystal Kingdom.

Now, the rout and decline of the Beili Kingdom can be imagined as a blow to my father! Many of the important ministers around my father have joined the tribes around the Beili Kingdom, especially the Xueyun tribe in the east, and their strength is thriving, and they are constantly expanding their armies, even reaching a level comparable to the Beili Dynasty! And the country of Xili in the west, although it is attached to the country of Beili, has not moved recently, but this is even more terrifying. In this case, the father must be informed! Thinking of this, Torret decided to see his father even if he risked his life.

Sitting on the sleigh, Tuolie saw the outer city wall of Xindu from a distance: the outer city wall more than ten meters high has been basically completed, although it has been covered with snow, but the huge battlements on the city wall can still reveal the metallic luster of a giant six-pack longbow arrow. And these giant bows are the proud work of Tahyun, which even Tolie has to admire, after all, without two brushes, his father cannot be so attached to him.

The time spent with Dahyun was not short, but Tolie never saw through this person, and the occasional conversation ended quickly. I have the impression that Daxian's voice is very high-pitched, and Tuolie even thinks that he is a eunuch, but he can't verify his true body! Tuolie always felt that this person did not belong to this world, giving people a strange feeling, especially in the three years when he went to Xijia Village with him, Daxian's coldness, meanness, and even fear of Xiyue made Tuolie very puzzled.

Whether or not he can see his father this time, the biggest obstacle is Daxian. Torlie knew that Duoxian was very capable, and he would definitely not be able to come hard, so he could only exchange suitable benefits, and this parchment map given by Xiyue was exactly what Duoxian wanted. Torret still remembers Dahyun's salivating expression when he saw this picture, and even wanted to swallow him in one gulp, but then Dahyun didn't mention the map again, as if he didn't remember such a thing, which was what puzzled Tolie.

To get to my father's palace, you need to pass through the newly built new royal city. Xinwangcheng faces south and backs to Hutou Mountain, the westernmost part of Ice Tiger Mountain, and is built according to the mountain.

Needless to say, the construction of the new royal city was caused by those witch doctors, and Tori heard that Daxian had been living in a private residence in the new royal city, and directed the entire construction of the new royal city. After the war, the Kingdom of Beili had almost no financial resources, and its people were in urgent need of recuperation, and although they obtained a lot of financial resources through the ice coffin trade, most of them were invested in the construction of a new capital, and the lives of the common people were still poor. Although Tuolie opposed such a large-scale construction, he had no way to do it, and he did not have much actual power, because almost all financial power was in the hands of Duoxian, and the military power was still firmly controlled by his father.

When he was about to reach the city gate, Torret found that the city walls and gates were not guarded. At this time, there was a string of sleigh bells and the barking of various dogs in the city, and then more than a dozen sleighs came out of the city gate, rampaged, and actually squeezed Tolie's sleigh on the side of the road, and Fu Ming, who drove the sleigh, scolded his mother angrily.

"Who are they?" Torrey asked.

"Look at the people who are dressed up in some of the indigenous tribes nearby, and I'd rather call them savages! Call the wild men or lift them up, and they should be called brutes! Hum! ”

As he spoke, Fuming drove the snow wolf dogs back to the middle of the road, but his mouth kept scolding.

Torret had the sleigh parked in a corner by the city gate, but fortunately there were no soldiers guarding it, so Torret decided to sneak in quietly with the young hunter to see what the city was all about.

"Why did the people from the local tribe come in? And to whom do you come? Torret was very puzzled, feeling that there must be something wrong in the city, and decided to find out.

When I entered the city gate, I saw in the distance two towering pyramid buildings with square bottoms and spires that I had never seen before, which were lined up on the east and west sides of the road, nearly a mile from the city gate, and in the middle was a wide road covered with snow, and there were marks on the road that had been pressed by sleighs, and a few mottled dog urine. The pyramid is not a building in the Beili Kingdom, including the Crystal Country, but I heard that there is an old sacrificial tower similar to it in the Western Regions Shacheng, which Tuo Lie heard from the national teacher Duchang. When he was young, Duchang had traveled along the Silk Road to the Far Western Regions.

When Torret saw this strange building, he felt more like an imperial mausoleum, not like a palace at all, because there were hundreds of pyramidal platforms lined up on both sides of the avenue.

"This ...... This is...... Is there a new royal city we're about to move into? Too...... It's spectacular! The young hunter couldn't help but shout.

"Shhhh

"Dahyun is really not easy!" Torreen couldn't help but admire in his heart, although he had a strange feeling about him, but he had to admire!

Behind the pyramid is the royal palace. The palace is backed by Hutou Mountain, and although it has been covered, you can still see the gray-brown and golden-yellow palace buildings lining up the hill to the smooth slopes of the mountains, which are covered with snow, and it is impossible to see what is above.

The master and servant walked quickly in the direction of the pyramid along the snow, and the sun was already hanging directly above the pyramid on the left. Almost noon, the intense sunlight shines on the snow and produces a dazzling glow that makes it almost impossible to open your eyes. They quickly dived into the tower on the left, where the sun was shining directly.

The entrance to this tower is a circular arch. Entering the arch, there is a wall with strange symbols carved into the wall, as if it were an ancient script. To the right is a spiral staircase leading to the top of the pyramid. Torret crept up the stairs to the top of the tower, while Fomin stayed at the door.

At the end of the spiral staircase was an iron door, and the lock on the door was actually open. So, Torret quietly opened the door and flashed in.

To Torre's surprise, the entrance was not to the top of the pyramid, but to a well-appointed bedroom. A skylight opens at the top of the bedroom to illuminate the entire bedroom. Because of the integrity of noon, the bedroom was sunburned as warm as spring! Opposite the doorway is a quaint carved cutlery rack with all sorts of strange cutlery. The remaining walls were surrounded by earthy yellow roots, and there were branches with green leaves on the roots! But for a moment, Torret felt as if the roots of the tree had moved, but when he looked at it, the branches were still well coiled against the wall.

Torret began to notice the layout of the tree roots around him, all of which were regular, avoiding any items against the wall and growing green leaves to form a boundary. But there is only one exception, and the door-like green leaf on the right side of the utensils rack grows exceptionally luxuriantly.

Torret walked over to check, and the green leaf door opened quietly, and the green leaves on the door swayed gently, as if beckoning to him. He looked through the door, and inside was a hallway as bright as day. The corridor was covered with a noble scarlet carpet, and the walls on both sides of the corridor were orderly hung with a dazzling variety of swords, meteor hammers, bows and arrows, and other weapons. At the top of the corridor were dozens of yellow energy crystals the size of hawthorns, emitting brilliant and dazzling light. At the end of the corridor there is an iron door on the left and right.

Torret was afraid of something, so he watched for a while before he tentatively entered. There were also many thread-like things wrapped around the walls of the weapon, and Drag Lie couldn't see it until he got closer. If you look closely, it's silk! The first thing he thought of was the two summoners he had met at the Ice Tiger Pass, both of whom had also used silk to help summon and control the strange giant. Worried, a curious force pushed him closer to the end of the hallway, and he listened quietly, feeling a voice coming from inside the door.

"Princess, can we trust the witch doctor, and when are we going to act?" The sound came from the wooden door on the left, but on the right was an iron door, and there was a sound of chains swaying from the iron door, and a low moan.

"Princess?" Tuolie first thought of his two sisters, his sister Tuo Xi'er and his younger sister Tuo Meng. But they are now all thousands of miles away in Nanwang Tingcheng, even if they come here, they should know that they are the best, because they and their sister Tuo Xi'er are the best. Before coming, my sister would definitely write a letter, not to mention that my sister Tuo Xi'er commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, and the south gate of the guardian Beili was not able to leave Nanwang City casually.

"Who could it be?" Torret decided to figure it out, and he continued to listen quietly.

"This witch doctor has been around for nearly a thousand years, don't underestimate him, as long as we join forces with him, we can gain a foothold in this world. Of course, we must continue to inquire about the news of the Dark Wolf King to find out what he wants to do, and in addition, the information of this princess must not be spread! ”

"Yes, princess!" Another woman's voice replied.

"It's the Dark Wolf King again!" Torrie was already full of curiosity about the name, "It seems that as long as you find out who the Dark Devil Wolf King is, maybe things can be settled, if you remember correctly, the so-called Dark Devil Wolf King should be in the capital of the Crystal Country." Thinking of this, and fearing that the woman would come out and find herself at any moment, Torret quietly left the hallway.

To Torre's surprise, when he left the hallway, it was not the room full of tree roots, but an empty room, and he was surprised to find that the passage when he came in could no longer find the doorway. He had to go back to the hallway, and to his surprise, the hallway he had entered was no longer the same hallway full of weapons, but there were still two pairs of doors at the end, both unlocked iron doors. So Torret went to the end of the hallway, and he was quiet again to see if there was anyone inside, but there was no sound. He gently pushed open the door on the left, and inside was rows of wooden shelves stuffed with bacon. He rushed into the room on the right side of the porch, and saw barrels of wine, lard, etc., which appeared to be a warehouse.

"This is definitely not the original two rooms, what happened?" Torret feels like he's in a labyrinth, and it's an ever-changing labyrinth trap.

He went back to the hallway, looked closely at the walls around him, but still had no clue, he walked out of the hallway and into the room, which no longer existed, but had become a huge exit. Torret hurriedly exited the exit, and saw a stone staircase that followed the edge of the pyramid, covered with snow and without any footprints. Torret realized that he had reached the back of the top of the pyramid, but because of the strange room in the pyramid, Torret did not dare to linger any longer, and immediately descended the stone staircase down the pyramid.

Torret walked along the base edge of the great pyramid to the entrance to the pyramid, where Fomin remained on guard at the door. I was amazed to see Torret coming from the other side of the pyramid.

"Your Royal Highness, didn't you enter through the door?"

"Let's get out of here first, and I'll tell you more on the way!"

"Yes!"

Fuming hurriedly rushed over to sleigh, but the two did not dare to linger and immediately left the new city.

On the way, Prince Torret told Fuming what he had seen and heard at the pyramid, and Fuming was also surprised. After saying that, Tori fell silent, and Fuming knew that it was the prince thinking, so he tried his best to control the sleigh so that it would not be too bumpy.

"Turn around and go back to our camp!" Torret ordered.

"Won't you go to the king's camp? Your Highness! The young hunter was surprised by the prince's sudden decision.

"No need, go directly back to my tent in the camp, you follow, we have something important to discuss!"

"Yes!" Fuming complied.

It turned out that after thinking about it, Torres thought that this so-called princess might be in league with Daxian, and realized that he was facing not only Daxian, but also their helpers.

"The wisdom of Tahyun has far exceeded my imagination, and even the pyramids are so exquisitely designed. I tried to meet my father several times, but I failed because he stopped me, and as long as he was by my father's side, it would be difficult for me to get close to my father! So who is the princess? What is the way to go? There is a lot of fog, and the Dark Wolf King, who is he? Since he is in the capital of the Crystal Country, it is necessary for me to find out in person! And use this as a breakthrough to figure out Daxian's conspiracy! Torret thought about it all the way, and soon returned to his camp.

Back at the camp, it was already dark, and Tolie asked Fuming to summon his officials to his tent overnight.

"There is nothing to do in the harsh winter, this king decided to go to the western wasteland with Fuming and others for more than a month of hunting, but in order to ensure the safety of the camp, I only took a small number of people there! The rest of the people are all at the disposal of the national teacher! Torret stood next to the national teacher and gave the order.

The national teacher Duchang is sitting on the Taishi chair by the fire. In fact, Tuolie had already discussed with the national teacher about his secret trip to the capital of the Crystal Kingdom, and the national teacher not only agreed, but also suggested that the crown prince Tuo'an should also know about it. Fuming went to the prince to ask for instructions, and the prince Tuo'an not only agreed to the matter, but also sent Meng Sa and Meng Ying to accompany Tuo Lie, because these two were from the Crystal Kingdom and were more familiar with the situation in the capital of the Crystal Kingdom.

The people in the tent dispersed after receiving their respective orders, leaving only Tuo Lie, the national teacher Du Chang, the Meng brothers, Fu Ming, and six of Tuo Lie's most talented guards.

"Everyone, going to the capital this time is full of dangers, if anyone wants to quit, it's still too late!"

"Swear allegiance to His Royal Highness the Prince!" The people in the tent shouted in unison.

"Not for my allegiance, but for our herdsmen, our loved ones. We know almost nothing about our opponents, and we could even lose our lives at any moment! No one in our people knows magic or witchcraft, and our enemies are not ordinary people, they not only know magic and witchcraft, but they also infiltrate us. So we can't fight against them now, we can only go south to the Crystal Country for help, I heard that many strange people in the Far Western Regions came to the Crystal Country along the Silk Road to escape persecution, I think we should go to the Crystal Country for help! Hearing this, Meng Sa and Meng Ying nodded to each other excitedly, they were originally looking for news, but they didn't expect to become Prince Tuolie's henchmen.

"When are we leaving?" Fuming couldn't help but ask.

"I'll leave tomorrow at dawn, and everyone go back and prepare! I will prepare enough sleds and food to declare that I will go hunting in the western part of Ice Tiger Mountain, and remember, you keep your secrets, or you will be killed! ”

Everyone then dispersed to say goodbye and prepare for the "hunt". Only the national teacher and Tolie were left in the tent. The flames in the furnace crackled and burned vigorously. The old national teacher looked at Tuo Lie dizzily, and in order to let the old national teacher see more clearly, Tuo Lie knelt down on one leg and gently placed his head in the arms of the old national teacher Du Chang. Du Chang didn't feel the old tears, but he could also feel the tremors on the prince's body. I don't know what year or month I will come back, Du Chang knows that once Tuolie decides, he will never repent.

"When an eagle's wings are hard, it should fly, higher and farther! Don't worry about me, O Torre, I'll take good care of your camp! Hurry up and get ready! Duchang helped Tuo Lie up, Tuo Lie nodded tearfully, took out a thunder mist dagger from his arms, and put it in the hands of the national teacher.

"This is what I gave to me in Xiyue, although I am a prince, but I was not born to my father, and it was you who really raised me as an adult, you left this silver dagger, you are my dearest person!"

"You? How do you know where you come from? How did you find out that only your father and I knew about it? ”

"National teacher, my father, don't ask, I'm fifteen years old, I don't have the blue heart of ordinary people, I'm not even a human being, and I can't be a member of the royal family. There is no blue heart, which I knew when I was in the village of Crystal Country. When I knew that I didn't have a blue heart like Yuzuki, I realized that I might not be from the royal family, but my father didn't know why he recognized me as his biological son? I've always wanted to ask him, but with the hindrance of the witch doctors, I'm afraid it's hard to know for a while. ”

"Listen, my child, you don't have a blue heart, don't spread it!" The national teacher said kindly.

"I know, that means I'll never do magic or sorcery!"

"No, kid, on the contrary, you are a powerful weapon in your own right!"

"What?!" Torret said in amazement......
