Chapter Fifty-Eight: Princess Tianfeng
Feng Lingxi looked at Lei Xiu who was sluggish in the distance, and did not feel the slightest surprise, from childhood to adulthood, as she grew older, she had long been accustomed to the way men looked at her, and the young man opposite was at least clean in his eyes, and he did not have that disgusting desire.
Glancing at Lei Xiu again, Feng Lingxi jumped towards another battlefield, his volley flying up like an elf dancing in the night.
It wasn't until the figure disappeared that Lei Xiu regained his senses, it's not that he hasn't seen beautiful women, Wei Ya, Tangtang, and even the peony who had a one-sided relationship, are all beautiful people in a thousand, but no one can give him this amazing feeling.
It was like the electric shock when he first cultivated the Demon Thunder Battle Dao, and it was like the throbbing of the first rays of sunlight at dawn, in short, Lei Xiu knew very well that he was deeply attracted by this mysterious woman.
The battle continued, because the initial sneak attack did not have the desired effect, the men in black retreated under the counterattack of the Tianfeng Merchant Group, and finally had no choice but to retreat after a period of stubborn resistance, leaving behind more than two dozen corpses.
Liu Gang held the long knife covered with blood, his expression was cold, and he picked up the face towels of the black-clothed people one by one, and confirmed them all before returning to Qin Mo's side.
With a faint smile on his face, as if he had just finished watching a wonderful drama, Qin Mo said softly, "There is no clue." β
Liu Gang nodded and said, "Yes, it's all unfamiliar faces, but the two Silver Demon Fighters who died, the one with the gold system, seems to be Kaman, Princess Xi recognized his trick 'Splitting the Earth Golden Light'." β
Raising his eyebrows, Qin Mo said with a smile, "Kaman? The hidden master of the Mambo family in Luna City? Hehe, the Mambo family has always regarded him as the biggest hole card, and I don't know what kind of expression their patriarch will have when he knows this news, it must be very interesting." β
"Although the Mambo family is led by the Diagos family on the surface, they have secretly taken refuge in Hernanson, although our relationship with this prime minister is not very good, but the annual worship has never fallen, why would he send people to ambush us?"
Liu Gang frowned, "It doesn't have to be Hernanson's order, right?
Qin Mo shook his head and said, "No, without Hernanson's order, the Mambo family will never let Kaman make a move, this is their biggest hole card against the Diagos family, but Hernansen didn't have a reason to make a move against us." β
After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Qin Mo suddenly asked, "When the eldest prince of the Bauhinia Empire came to Tianfeng last year, was Princess Xi in charge of receiving it?"
Liu Gang paused for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, it's Princess Xi, do you suspect that these people are ......?"
Qin Mo sneered, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, I heard that this eldest prince is extremely infatuated with Princess Xi, and he also asked the lord of the country to marry Princess Xi to him as a side concubine, although the lord of the country refused on the spot, but he still used despicable means to force Princess Xi afterwards, and finally returned to China after being taught a lesson by Princess Xi. β
Liu Gang said with a cold face, "Hmph, I didn't expect that the Augustinian royal family would have such a person, no wonder as a concubine has not been able to get the identity of the heir to the throne for a long time, it's really shameless!"
Qin Mo stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Augustine has always been a small man, but fortunately, there is a second prince Lothar in this generation, I heard that he is a smart person, and he is also our most important target this time, if Kevin becomes the emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, our days will be even more difficult." β
Just as Qin Mo and Liu Gang were talking, Lei Xiu came to the two of them, looking like he wanted to speak but stopped talking.
Qin Mo looked at Lei Xiu, nodded and smiled, "Lei Xiu, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, we would have suffered a great loss this time, I will ask Mu Feng to pick a horned eagle for you as a thank you gift in a while, although it is not a particularly valuable gift, but it is also a special product of my Tianfeng Ancient Country, don't dislike it." β
Lei Xiu was overjoyed in his heart, and quickly thanked Qin Mo, and then asked a little embarrassedly, "Lord Qin Mo, just now a girl with a bow and arrow helped me kill a strong enemy, I want to thank her in person, do you know where she is?"
Qin Mo's eyes flashed, his eyes stared at Lei Xiu, until he looked a little embarrassed, then shook his head with a smile and said, "I understand your kindness for her, that woman is Her Royal Highness the princess of my Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, and she is also the main person in charge of our business group this time, the rules of the royal family are big, it is inconvenient to meet strange men, I will help you convey your gratitude, please forgive me." β
Lei Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then reluctantly smiled, "It turned out to be the princess of Tianfeng, no wonder she has this kind of demeanor, then forget it, please ask Lord Qin Mo to convey my thanks for me." β
Looking at Lei Xiu's lonely back after leaving, Liu Gang quipped on the side, "Hey, another little guy who is fascinated by Princess Xi, it's a pity that the two people's identities are too different." β
Qin Mo said lightly, "Have you seen few people like this? Although this Lei Xiu has strong martial arts skills and has a good relationship with Han Boke, he does not have the temperament of a nobleman in his speech and demeanor, he must be a commoner, maybe the apprentice of a hidden master, this kind of person is not uncommon, there is no need to care too much, but he is the bloodline of my Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, if he can win over, it is better to try to win over, maybe it will be used by us." β
Liu Gang nodded and said, "You can do it, I'll go and clean up the surroundings first, and then call those boys to rest, and we'll set off as soon as it's dawn!"
After returning to the tent, Lei Xiu lay silently on the ground and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect her to be a princess, but shouldn't princesses be gentle and dignified, and even speak softly?
Thinking of this, Lei Xiu smiled lightly, although Qin Mo's words just now were euphemistic, but between the lines were all politeness and politeness, which was clearly to let Lei Xiu recognize his identity and get rid of the undeserved thoughts.
Shaking his head, Lei Xiu's eyes gradually became sharper, and his smile was full of confidence, if it was before he met Roger, he might still feel sorry for himself because of his status, but now he has inherited Roger, a saint-level powerhouse, and he is about to reach the silver level at a young age, and he has the forging skills of an elemental craftsman who is unique in the world, and his future achievements can be said to be limitless, he never thinks that he will be inferior to others in any place, because his conditions are already the top!
Exhaling deeply, Lei Xiu turned his attention to today's battle, counting that today was the first time he killed someone, and the one he killed was a Silver Demon Fighter, which meant a lot to him, from today on, he was also a Demon Fighter who had really "seen blood", but what made him care more was the wonderful state that happened again.
"How did I get into that strange state again? I had never practiced the Thunder Breath technique before, but this is the second time since I came out of Murben Town. β
Frowning, Lei Xiu muttered, "The first time I met the assassin in the Golden Shield City, that time I thought I was too nervous and only played at a super level at the moment of life and death, but if I look at it this way today, this state should be related to the Thunder Breath Technique, but Grandpa Roger didn't tell me that the Thunder Breath Technique still has this effect." β
"If I can enter this state at any time, the others don't know, but my speed will definitely increase to a terrifying realm, and it feels like time around me is infinitely close to standing still, and only I can play normally!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiu's heart was hot, you must know that when masters compete, speed is one of the most important decisive factors, and a slight difference can be divided into life and death, not to mention that one side is almost stationary, and the other side remains normal.
"But what do I have to do to get into this state at any time? It seems that it only happens in the moment of life and death, is it possible that I have to put myself in a desperate situation every time? But what if it fails once?"
Just as Lei Xiu was pondering, in one of the largest tents of the Tianfeng Merchant Group, Feng Lingxi took off his longbow and quiver with a tired face, took the cup of tea handed over by Qin Mo, and said softly, "Uncle Qin Mo, have you found any other clues besides Kaman?"
Qin Mo nodded and said, "Your Highness, I suspect that these people were sent by the eldest prince Kevin, in addition to Kaman of the Mambo family, I also found people from two other small families, they are all families attached to Prime Minister Hernanson, but we have no holiday with Hernanson, so only Kevin can mobilize these people." β
The corners of Feng Lingxi's mouth showed a hint of mockery, "It turned out to be him, hmph, if this person wasn't the prince of the Bauhinia Empire, I would have killed him a long time ago, would he hinder our mission this time?"
"Your Highness, please rest assured, Prince Kevin has never been favored by the Emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, and he has not held any real positions, he will not hinder our mission, but I am worried that he will come to harass His Highness, after all, this is Bauhinia, and many times we have to endure a little. β
Feng Lingxi nodded and said, "Uncle Qin Mo, you don't have to worry, I still have this bit of endurance, this time our mission must not be missed, by the way, what happened to the young man that Hanbock asked us to take care of? This is a worthy target, and it is best to be able to use it for us." β
Qin Mo said with a smile, "I know this, but after this kid was saved by His Highness just now, he never forgot about His Highness, and I want to thank him, I have already rejected him for His Highness." β
"Well, that's good, this kind of fledgling little boy is the most annoying, you can do it, it can be used best for us, it doesn't matter if you can't. β
After speaking, Feng Lingxi closed his eyes, and Qin Mo on the side knew the opportunity to retire when he saw this.
The light inside the tent was dim, only a candle lamp emitted a faint light, and Feng Lingxi whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "What secrets does the Martial Spirit Blood Jade contain? Why did the imperial brother let me get it at any cost? But since it was so precious, why did it have to be sent to the Bauhinia Empire as a gift before?"
As soon as the sky was dark, a few puffs of smoke rose from the tent of the Tianfeng Merchant Group, and the sound of greetings and laughter gradually became noisy, and if it weren't for some burn marks and blood stains on the tent and some of the surrounding ground, no one would have known that there was a brutal bloody battle here yesterday.
After Lei Xiu walked out of the tent, he yawned and stretched, looking at the people talking to each other around him, his face was as usual, and there was a wry smile in his heart, he had a rare insomnia last night, in addition to thinking about the mysterious state brought to him by the thunder breath technique, the touch of the first killing also made him difficult to calm down all night, that feeling was not afraid, except for the uncomfortable feeling at the beginning, Lei Xiu instead felt an indescribable excitement in the depths of his heart, it was this feeling that frightened him, he was afraid that he had the potential to become a perverted murdererγ
"How's it going? Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Looking back, Mu Feng's figure came out of the tent, Lei Xiu nodded and smiled, "It's okay, Brother Mu Feng, I feel that everyone is very calm, do you often encounter things like last night?"
Mu Feng took a deep breath of fresh air and said with a smile, "Almost, our kind of multinational business group has always been fat in the eyes of others, so we often encounter attacks from thieves and some hostile forces, everyone pins their heads to their belts every time they come out, and there are very few battles with almost no casualties like yesterday, so everyone is very happy, hey, thank you yesterday, Lei Xiu, if it weren't for you, how many people would have died in that rocket at the beginning." β
Lei Xiu shook his head and smiled, "Since I am in the business group, I should naturally fight the enemy with everyone, otherwise those people will not let me go alone, Brother Mu Feng, don't be so polite." β
Mu Feng smiled and put his arm around Lei Xiu's shoulder, then pulled him to find breakfast to eat, and after a while, everyone rode the Upper Horned Eagle again, galloping all the way in the direction of the imperial capital.
It's just that most people didn't notice that in the pit where the corpses were piled up, there was an extra man dressed in the costume of the Tianfeng Merchant Troupe......
In the following day and a half, the Tianfeng Merchant Group did not encounter any dangerous situations, although it was not comfortable and easy along the way, but it was also smooth, and near evening, Lei Xiu, who was in mid-air, had already seen a majestic giant city unfolding below.
The imperial capital of the Bauhinia Empire, Bauhinia City, is an extremely large city, with the Amster Mountains known as the imperial dragon vein to the west, with steep and dangerous peaks, and a huge and wide artificial canal to the south, which leads directly into the Bauhinia City, and the river surface is not crowded at all, and to the east, it is an annex city that is not much smaller than Bauhinia City, opposite the horns of the main city.
According to rumors, one of the three great empires that stood with the Bauhinia Empire, the lord of the Cold Moon Empire once visited Bauhinia City and praised it after watching this majestic city.
"Such a majestic city, even if it is my cold moon million male division, I am afraid it will be difficult to break!"
Since then, the name of the Immortal City has become the pride of all the citizens of the Bauhinia Empire!
Under Liu Gang's gesture, everyone flew in the direction of the attached city, and not far away, five airships like giant eggs slowly flew out from the eastern city wall, following the Tianfeng Merchant Group and the others from afar.
Lei Xiu looked at the giant dome behind him curiously, this was the first time he had seen a real airship, originally he went to Yaori City to take an airship to the imperial capital, and then he followed the people of the Tianfeng Merchant Group here.
The airship of the Bauhinia Empire is actually a special kind of hot air balloon, its inner tank is made of the fur of the demonic beast, and the spar containing elemental mana is used as an energy source to generate heat, which is injected into the inner tank to make the airship soar into the air.
The airship behind the Heavenly Wind Merchant Group was a small model that could only carry three to five people, while the airship used for transportation in Yaori City was much larger, and could easily carry hundreds or thousands of people.
After a while, nearly a hundred horned eagles landed in a clearing on the outskirts of the attached city, just jumped off the horned eagle, Lei Xiu's face changed, in the buildings around the clearing, suddenly a large number of soldiers wearing purple armor and holding spears suddenly poured out, and surrounded them violently, and a leading senior officer in front of him had a cold face, and a pair of oblique eyes were exuding a cold light.
Liu Gang stretched out his hand to stop the merchants who were about to draw their weapons, and said to the senior officer with a gloomy expression, "Lord Link, what do you mean by this!"
