Chapter 3 The undercurrent is still raging
Snowflakes.
Falling snowflakes.
He stared blankly at the sky above, the iron-gray dull sky obscuring his vision.
He could feel the stinging pain in his chest, as if a bronze spear had pierced his heart, but his body could not move at all, as if his soul had been withdrawn from his body.
He looked around with the last of his strength, and there was a faint and faceless figure, and beyond the figure, there was a swarm of demonic beasts roaring and roaring!
I'm going to die.
Why do I die?
Why did I die in this place?
Qixia pulled his head out of the lead-gray crystal ball and nodded, "That's it." ”
"The illusion you see will always refer to the future." Yi Lanshan said slowly: "According to this prophecy, you will die in a wilderness full of snow, it should be this winter, but you can't determine the specific location." ”
"Why would I see my own death?" Qixia was not afraid, nor was he cynical, he played with the wine glass in his hand and spoke lightly.
"Maybe the message from the future is strong enough that I hope you can change that future." Yi Lanshan said: "There are naturally three ways to deal with it. ”
"The best policy is naturally to stay in Ye Ye City, and no one can take you away, so the prophecy cannot be constituted."
"The middle strategy is to go south, to a place where there is no snow."
"As for the next step, we can only do nothing, see how the future is formed, and cut it off in the middle link."
"Increasing in the degree of danger."
"Originally, with my character, I would naturally stay in Ye Ye City to be foolproof." Qixia shook his head: "But this time I suddenly want to go out for a walk, give me a mission to the south, Mountain Lord." ”
"That's right." Yi Lanshan replied lightly.
……
……
Lanlan Holy City, the official residence of the city lord.
Lanlan City is the capital of the emperor, but the management of everything in the city does not come from the royal family, but the city lord is in charge.
Lan Mu, the lord of Lan City, is the second head of the family surnamed Lan, a member of the Council of Ten, and one of the most noble people in this world.
But now he was watching the little girl sit in his chair and suck the juice.
"Why did Uncle remember to call me over?" Ye Qing tilted his head and asked.
She and Lan Mu are old friends, to be precise, she is an old friend with all the big people in Lan Lan City, so in front of them there is no dignity and reserve that a princess should have.
"I'm still very busy, I'm going out to do my homework tomorrow, what the hell is the matter with you using magic to teleport me in such a hurry."
"Naturally, it's a matter of charcoal in the snow." Lan Mu said with a smile, he was only in his early sixties, and he was already a powerhouse in the Heavenly Realm, looking like he was in his thirties, and when he smiled, he had the taste of harmlessness to humans and animals when he smiled.
He said as he pulled out a piece of letterhead sealed in fire paint.
"Tianlan City, a letter to the city director Qiuke."
"Why?" Ye Qing naturally wanted to ask why.
Tianlan City naturally knew that it was the northernmost big city of the Lanye Empire, west of the Holy Snow Mountain Range and east of the Northern Desolate Snow Plain.
It was established there because it is home to the Streamuko River, the largest and best jade source in the entire continent.
The reason why he is important is that the Lord of Tianlan City has been a member of the Council of Ten for generations, because behind Tianlan City is the imperial tomb of the Lanye Imperial Family-Huaiyu Valley.
So in a normal sense, Tianlan City is considered to be the mausoleum keeper of the Lanye royal family.
The third reason is that the Tianlan City Lords of the past dynasties are all strong and terrifying.
"Since the beginning of winter, there have been heavy snowstorms in the Northern Wilderness Snow Field, the transportation has been cut off, the magic connection has failed, and we have lost contact with Tianlan City."
"Even in previous years, there have been similar things, but never so many at the same time." Lan Mu pointed to the full map of the Lanye Empire on the wall and said.
"I sent three messengers for this, but none of them came back."
"So you want me to deliver the letter?" Ye Qing was incredible: "A princess messenger is highly paid, okay!" ”
"I thought Her Royal Highness would be worried about her safety." Lan Mu smiled bitterly: "The danger can't be talked about, the princess has a lot of talismans, and she can't be hurt unless she is in the Heavenly Realm, and the Northern Wilderness Snow Field is just reported to have some abnormal activities of the Demon Beast." ”
"Why me?"
"If I just want to support the princess, by the way, let the princess take a look at the huge scenery of the Holy Snow Mountain Range, naturally I won't believe it." Lan Mu smiled slightly: "Of course, the princess will definitely say that this is a good trip. ”
"The key to hoping that the princess will go is the city lord of Ren Qiuke, he is one of the most promising beings to step into the Taiwei Heavenly Realm in a hundred years, we are not clear about the future movements of His Majesty, the only thing we know is that if the Yanshi City is broken, then the thousands of miles of fertile fields in the east will be in no danger to defend, and the only force that can be relied on is this Tianlan City Lord."
"If he doesn't move, no one will try to attack a powerful marginal mountain city, and even if the Lanye Empire is destroyed, he will still be a prince."
"But if he is willing to go down the mountain, then the battlefield in the east will have a strong fulcrum and win us precious opportunities."
"So I hope that the princess can take this opportunity to maintain a relative personal friendship with that city lord, you are the princess of the Lanye Empire, and there is no one who doesn't want your friendship."
"Yes." When it came to business, Ye Qing put down the juice and smiled: "I can't afford to have such big expectations." ”
Her voice was quiet and clear: "That His Majesty's declaration in Ye Ye City scared you, right? ”
"Yes." Lan Mu nodded: "Not only us, but everyone in this world. ”
"We all thought he was strong, but when he actually stood there, we realized that he was still a little stronger than we thought he would be."
"The main battle and the main peace within the Imperial Council have become white-hot, so the princess's action this time will be an important war bargaining chip."
"What about you, Uncle Lanmu? Main battle or main peace? ”
"The Council of Ten is not a big member." Lan Mu smiled and pushed his hand: "But for Lan Mu personally, he is still riding on the wall and watching." ”
"Okay." Ye Qing nodded, then picked up the juice and took a sip to blot it dry.
She slapped the envelope covered in fire paint.
"I promised."
……
……
"She's gone like that?" Someone spoke faintly in the darkness.
"The princess has always been a bright woman." Lan Mu smiled and said to the dark shadow.
"Do you really think that you can influence the next decision by taking such great pains to get her out of the surroundings of the Holy City?" The black shadow said coldly.
"It's not in your camp." Lan Mu smiled and said, "Princess Zhigo, I just don't want her to be stupid again. ”
"You must know that among the people who have influenced decisions in history, there is such an alternative existence as Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I like this princess very much, so I don't want her to get involved in this maelstrom too soon, she is still very young, and she has more important things to do."
"So." The black shadow sneered with undisguised malice: "I just want to know if Her Royal Highness the princess in your mouth will hate you so much that when Ye Luan wears the crown of the Sturt Empire." ”
"I'd love to." Lan Mu said with a smile.
