Chapter 308: Self-Respect (22)
"Mr. just said that the witch of the Xiyue Kingdom was calculated by the prime minister, and then caught up with the demon clan to invade, what happened later?"
Mr. Jiang looked towards the place where the voice came out, and saw that there was another person in the corner, and he covered himself with a cloak, so that people could not see his appearance, only from the figure could be distinguished that it was a man.
"Alas, the witch was also a poor man, who was taken away from her country parents at the age of ten, and when she heard that she almost died on the way, she forgot all about her past when she woke up. Poor young age was involved in this unwarranted disaster, and now three years have passed, and I only heard that although my life was saved, I don't know when I will wake up. ”
The man asked, "Didn't the high priest save her?" ”
Mr. Jiang: "The high priest is not a god, and besides, it seems that the witch's will to survive is not firm, even if she doesn't want to wake up, no matter how much others help, it won't help." After speaking, he nodded to the man, and Mr. Jiang left.
The man who wrapped himself tightly around his whole body also walked out of the Three Dreams Workshop and went to a remote place, if someone followed at this time, he would definitely find that the place he entered was a dead end, but the person had long since disappeared.
Although it is located on the border of Xiyue, it seems to be two worlds with Xiyue, and it is dark in the eyes, as if the sun has never appeared here.
Towering pinnacles are everywhere, and from the border of the Western Moon there is a winding and rugged mountain road, which gets darker and steeper the further you go, even though it is flat but more strenuous than climbing the peak.
After walking for about a stick of incense, you can see the long bridge hidden in the black fog, this rope bridge is connected to a cliff, the rope bridge is bottomless, and the opposite side is also impossible to see in the black fog, but this bridge is the only bridge connecting the demons and the human race.
Known as the Bridge of Linyuan, it was here that Qi Tianli became famous in the first battle, so the battle was also called "the Battle of Linyuan".
Crossing this bridge near the abyss, it is the real abyss, which is darker than the other side of the bridge, revealing the atmosphere of the yin wind everywhere.
There is a huge palace in the center of the abyss, and a crescent moon crosses the delicate corner tower, casting a hazy yellow light on the high walls, adding a bit of mystery to this palace.
The crescent moon was white and flawless, the only bright color in the entire abyss, but if you look closely, you will find that this crescent moon never seems to move or change, and it just hangs in the sky all the time.
The inner assistants of the main hall are supported by a number of giant pillars, and each pillar should be carved with a symbol that belongs to the demon race, with a green face and fangs, which makes people scary to look at.
The seats in the center of the palace are carved into something much more elaborate than those on these pillars, and even make people look alive at first glance.
Obviously, this is the location of the Demon King, and this is also the Demon King's palace.
Qi Tianli's black hair was scattered at will, and there was a black mark on the end of his eyes, which was a sign that belonged to the Demon King alone, but this mark did not detract from his handsomeness on his face, but increased a little bit of evil charm, he held it with one hand, leaned on the throne, closed his eyes and recuperated.
The huge palace was as if there was no one in it, and the sound could be heard when the wind blew.
I don't know how long it took, Qi Tianli's eyelids moved, but he still didn't open his eyes, but as Qi Tianli moved, there was a sound at the door, as if someone was coming.
As soon as that person entered, wasn't this the one who listened to Mr. Jiang's story in Sanmengfang?
"King."
Qi Tianli: "Going to the banquet again?" ”
The man tore off the cloak that could cover himself completely, revealing a delicate face, which was obviously different from the demons in the abyss, he was a man through and through.
But since he can pass the bridge safely, it means that he must not be an ordinary person, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to cross the bridge of the abyss, which is why Xiyue has been reluctant to take the initiative for so many years, because only people with hidden abilities can cross this bridge, but where is the hidden master so easy to find.
The current Imperial Hermit Master of the Xiyue Kingdom is only one in ten thousand, and not all of them are capable of fighting the demons, so this decision has been canceled before it can be implemented.
At the beginning, Qi Tianli was able to get into trouble and still be able to walk on the Linyuan Bridge, but because his original hidden energy was not low, Mo said that compared with the Imperial Hermit, even if he called all the existing Imperial Hermit Masters in Xiyue, he would come out on top.
This person was the deputy general under Qi Tianli at the beginning, he had been fighting with Qi Tianli since the day he entered the barracks, they had the same ideals and ambitions, so when he witnessed Qi Tianli's demonization, everyone was either afraid of the demon king or wanted to get rid of the demon king while the demon king was weak, only he was different, he just believed that he was a good brother who fought side by side from the beginning.
So after Qi Tianli became the new queen, this person also followed him to the abyss of the same return, at first Qi Tianli was not allowed, but no matter how he let him go, he didn't leave, and then he said to Qi Tianli: "I have no father and no mother, alone, the happiest thing in this life is to hand over your brother, but now you are going to become a demon king, I don't believe their legend that you let yourself fall for your own selfish desires." I only believe in myself, and I believe in you, you will never do anything to harm the people of Xiyue. ”
"General, the demons are too lonely, if I don't accompany you, you will really lose yourself one day."
In this way, Jing Bai stayed and became another human in the demon clan in addition to the demon king.
To tell the truth, Qi Tianli has the identity of a king, and those demons don't dare to touch his brows even if they dream, so they put all their energy on Jing Bai, it can be said that Jing Bai's existence is Tang monk meat for these demons.
But Jing Bai is not a simple person, otherwise he would not dare to come to the abyss of Tonggui single-handedly to follow Qi Tianli.
In short, no matter what the process is, the result is that Jing Bai has become the "big steward" of the abyss, and those demons still listen to him.
The man on the throne on the stage has always exuded an aura of arrogance since he came to this abyss, and Jing Bai has been by Qi Tianli's side for the past three years, and he can be regarded as figuring out Qi Tianli's thoughts.
It was definitely not Qi Tianli's original intention that he was identified as the new king of the demon clan, but in order to protect all the soldiers in the battle of Linyuan back then, he broke into the demon king's cave alone, and finally fell into the way of the demon clan, he knew that something was wrong with him, but he never thought that the demon king did not want his life in the end, but let him become the new demon king.
He has also resisted and struggled, otherwise he would not have suppressed the power in his body for so long, but in the end he became the new king of the demon race, which made Jing Bai feel that he really did not follow the wrong person The thing is that Qi Tianli has never given up even if he was scolded and misunderstood by everyone, he is protecting Xiyue Country in his own way.
Since he took office, the demons have never attacked Xiyue, and even the border villages are safe, this kind of stability is different from when the prime minister colluded, at that time it was calm on the surface, but on the surface, the demons and the human race lived in peace, and the border villages were indeed doing well, but in private, the prime minister in order to stabilize the demons, but sent batches of people to the abyss of the same return for their enjoyment.
Demon, heartless and ruthless, he will not understand what we say about etiquette, righteousness and shame, and it is not appropriate to be greedy for pleasure, but the only good thing is that the demon knows very well that the strong are suppressed.
They are naturally subservient to their leaders, and they will do whatever the king says, unlike humans who are superficial.
Qi Tianli only showed some of his temperament in front of Jing Bai, and the rest were cold in front of the demons.
And Jing Bai is the same in the abyss of the same return, only in front of Qi Tianli can he have some smiles.
"How does the king know?" It's been three years in the same abyss, and some of them haven't changed between the two of them, such as the belief in each other's hearts and the trust in each other, but some have also been subtly changed. For example, Jing Bai's name is Qi Tianli, and it is the same as the name of those demons, they are all called kings.
Qi Tianli: "The fireworks on your body are too obvious, I want to pretend that I don't know." ”
Jing Bai smiled: "Now that the demon clan is well managed by the king, he no longer thinks about going out all day long to kill for fun, in fact, the king should also go out for a walk, after all, people still need sunshine to live." ”
Qi Tianli: "Forget it, I've long been used to staying here for such a long time." ”
Jing Bai: "How can you get used to it?" We are not those demons who have no emotion and perception, and we can't tell the difference between sunshine and night, Wang, you have done enough in the past few years, and you don't need to be so embarrassed anymore. ”
Qi Tianli: "It's been a day, let's go back and rest early." He didn't seem to want to discuss the matter with Jing Bai anymore, so he got up and went to the room behind him.
Jing Bai stood in place and said to Qi Tianli, "I heard her news today. ”
Just this sentence actually made Qi Tianli stop, Jing Bai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, seeing that Qi Tianli still had a reaction, it means that there are still people who can leave a place in his heart.
Although General Qi retired and stepped down, he was always healthy, but since the events of that day, General Qi did not believe that his son who had been raised since he was a child was a selfish person, but the taste of losing his beloved son was not comfortable at all, plus Qi Tianli left, and the soldiers in Xiyue had no one to manage, poor General Qi had not come out of the grief of losing his beloved son and was forcibly re-put in the position of general by the emperor, but he died of illness in a year.
Jing Bai remembered that Qi Tianli couldn't see anything on his face after hearing about this incident, but he locked himself in the room for three days, and he didn't get in, just when he was about to kick in the door with worry, Qi Tianli came out of the room, but the last trace of warmth in his eyes disappeared.
