The Qianshui River, which originates in the Moshan Mountains, flows through the east side of the Buchuni Desert from southeast to northwest, as if a huge scar on a beautiful face, and the huge amount of sediment carried by the river is like a blood stain oozing out of the wound, and the severe soil erosion destroys the soil layer at the same time, forming a sandy soil with a bloody smell, from which the Blood Shadow Valley is named.

The unique canyon environment prevents the sandstorms formed by the northwest wind in May every year, so that the Gara King, less than 200 kilometers southeast of the Blood Shadow Valley, can not be swallowed by the wind and sand, and the largest area of mobile sand dunes on the Leah continent is distributed in its northwest.

Many caravans attempting to cross the Valley of the Bloodshade were caught in a sandstorm, and the low visibility caused them to lose their way and die in the sand. Even if they rely on spaceships to transport their goods, they have to deal with the desert bandits, the Blood Shadow Bandits, whose increasingly criminal activities are not regulated by any law, who abduct not only foreign merchants, but also their own merchants, and hand over some of the stolen goods to the state in order to turn a blind eye to the lucrative King Xuanhuang.

The Valley of Blood Shadow is a valley of death for the caravans that cut off their fortunes, but the desert bandits who have lived here for decades have found a way to combat the sandstorms, and the stacked houses are embedded in the cliffs, looking like bees' nests from afar, and even the ship lifts are built from the same local materials as the houses. When the spacecraft landed vertically, the command staff at the bottom of the valley waved flags and guided the spacecraft to dock at the designated place.

Most of the ships piloted by the robbers are small and light, and the paint of the ships is very similar to the color of the desert environment, which is easy to conceal and camouflage. Coupled with the natural sand barrier at the bottom of the Blood Shadow Valley, they can come and go freely, disdainful of the outside world.

With a brisk pace, Xiao Yong walked out of the spaceship that had just landed, tore off his dusty gloves and patted them on his shoulders, checked the scars on his legs that had been cut by Mu Yunxi, and then gave an order to one person: immediately tell the fourth brother that he had something important to see.

He licked his tongue, turned to Zhao Cuiying, who was tied up by two subordinates behind him, and said with a wicked smile: "Quickly send Miss Zhao to my room, don't be lazy!"

The reason for not putting Zhao Cuiying in the cell is very simple, Xiao Yong has long coveted this woman's beauty, and this time he must completely possess her, if he is discovered by Xiao Yi, the two brothers will fight for it.

He didn't know that he had returned to the helm, and the news of his eldest brother's death would make him do everything in his power to take revenge on their enemies. But now his main job is to receive the distinguished guest in front of him from afar.

In fact, this distinguished guest is none other than Ling Wenxuan, who is dressed as a businessman, in order not to let people recognize him as a priest of the Tianyao Sect, he also deliberately grew a beard for a week, specifically imitating the words and deeds of the merchants of the king of Garo, everything is almost perfect, but his black hair reveals his identity - the dragon man.

In the past, they did nothing more than two ways to deal with the dragon merchants: they robbed the recalcitrant ones of all their goods and money and killed them directly, and gave some of the money they needed to live in fear and cooperated with them, and released them back to their hometowns.

Ling Wenxuan didn't belong to any of the above, he didn't bring any money, he risked his life to come to the Blood Shadow Valley from the royal capital just to find a way for His Majesty the King to receive him.

He is well aware of the intricate relationship between the royal family of Gala and the Blood Shadow Order, the eldest of the two brothers, Xiao Zhen, was the leader of the rebel army in the coup d'état in the mountains back then, and now he is the prime minister of the Gala country; the eldest and the third are active in Hegrilla, ostensibly burning and looting bandits, but in fact making the country strong by operating the arms trade; the fourth old man who stayed at the helm continued to do his old job, collecting the people's fat and ointment for the royal family of Galuo.

The desert bandits entrenched in the area of the Blood Shadow Valley are only accomplices of this evil country, and what is even more hateful is the ruling class stained with the blood of the people, King Xuanhuang is the most lazy and lazy of the kings of the past dynasties.

Even though the military strength of the Gara kingdom was enhanced by a large number of advanced weapons and weapons, he still questioned the ability of the imperial court to confront the Loberon Empire in order to regain the mountains that had been occupied for many years. The corruption of the kingdom's army was very common, from the officers to the soldiers, all of them spent all day drinking, spending money like the same as their king, and it was a ridiculous thing for such an army to win.

However, just a few days earlier, His Majesty had given the order to attack the Lodge area, and God knows where the lazy king got his confidence, and although the final decision maker was actually the prime minister, he had to meet His Majesty in person to persuade him to dispel his mind.

"This is the internal affairs of our country, and you have no right to interfere as an outsider. "Yiyi issued an eviction order, obviously impatient with Ling Wenxuan's rhetoric.

"I am here for the safety of your country, and I ask you to let me see His Majesty. Ling Wenxuan leaned into Fu Yi's ear in small steps and said softly, "It is rumored that the Crown of Courage, one of the seven artifacts, is hidden in the palace of the King of Garo, and if the whole army pours out, the guards in the palace will inevitably be empty, giving thieves a chance to take advantage of." ”

He slapped the table and said angrily: "Who is so bold? ”

"You need not know that when I meet His Majesty the King, I will explain to him face to face. ”

"I will give you the tokens you need to receive His Majesty, and then you will hand him over to the Prime Minister, and he will introduce you to him. He put down the wine bottle and said in a low voice, "I can only help you get here, what can you do before that?"

Ling Wenxuan smiled and nodded, slapped his palms twice, and suddenly beautiful and cheerful music sounded, and the three dancing girls stepped out from behind the curtain, flying like clouds, and their postures were like rain.

The long silver hair of a woman in the center is like waves in the wind, a snow-colored robe is connected to the wide cuffs, a demonic bright red cloud pattern decorates the swirling and dancing skirt, there is no fluctuation in the quiet and secluded eyes, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised to outline a light smile.

A woman on the right has two pale white hairpins embedded in curly double ponytails, a red Luo skirt is trimmed with silver wire, and the white gloves over the wrist wrap the swaying and relaxed arms to show the noble breath, the eyelashes are slightly upturned like a fan, and the pearl-like face exudes pride.

The messy long black hair of a woman on the left is like the wings of a butterfly, the goose-yellow waist and sleeved long skirt is like a bouquet of blooming golden flowers, and the waist of the girl is curved in a graceful arc, which is both cute and solemn, and the pink earlobes have a light blue cross pendant, swaying and swaying The appearance is moving.

The rolling waves in the eyes of the righteous seemed to drown the three dancing girls, he licked his index finger greedily, and asked: "I remember that there has never been a foreigner who danced his own dance so well, but two dragon women, and one woman of the Wei tribe did it, dare to ask who they studied with?"

"There's nothing strange about it, dance is an innate talent for women, and in just one week, they can learn all the dances of the Gara Kingdom, but it's just ......" Ling Wenxuan tapped his fingers on the table, "There are no songs sung, I can't guarantee that His Majesty will like them, as far as I know, the classic songs of your country are all from the poems written by the great writer Ban Renji, who was convicted of the coup d'état, and the repertoire adapted from his poems is regarded as forbidden songs, and the blatant singers should be beheaded according to the law." ”

"Think about this for yourself, if your dancing girl sings well, maybe your majesty will be able to forgive her sins. Seeing a familiar figure walking outside, Yu Yi immediately suppressed his smile and waved his hand to signal Ling Wenxuan to retreat.

So Ling Wenxuan and the three dancing girls saluted to Xiao Yi, turned around and left the Juyi Pavilion, and happened to take a look at Xiao Yong who came over, and noticed that the other party had been staring at him, so he hurriedly quickened his pace.

When they arrived on the plank road of the cliff, they saw that no one was following them, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Lingxiang took off her white gloves, lifted the bright red skirt that was mopping the floor, and began to complain: "What kind of nonsense did you just say? Do you know how much Miss Ben has suffered in order to learn to dance? How are you going to compensate for the medical expenses for sprained hands and feet?"

Ling Wenxuan scratched his head and said with a smile: "You say an approximate amount, and I will compensate you then, as long as I don't add the total amount of the single matter in the port." ”

Gui Xun'er brushed the hair on the side of the cross earrings, and echoed: "In order to stop the conspiracy of the Tianzhao Sect, if you can't even stand this little suffering, why don't you go back to Wanyang and continue to be your rich lady, why are you still following us." ”

"That's not possible, I took the name of the Seven Artifact Expedition, and Miss Ben has the obligation to supervise you to complete the task of the Holy Maiden. Lan Lingxiang walked around behind Youna and patted her on the shoulder, "Isn't there a professional bard in our team? ”

Ling Wenxuan said solemnly: "Please, singing forbidden songs is a capital crime, and I don't want Xiao Na to put herself in danger." ”

Yuna broke free of Lan Lingxiang's hand, came to the railing of the plank road, quietly listened to the sound of the breeze blowing the silver hair, and said for a long time: "If I die alone, I will be satisfied to save the suffering people here with my singing." ”

Everyone didn't expect Yu Na to answer so resolutely, she has grown a lot since the incident in the Qishui Dragon Palace.

There were very few guards near the cliff plank road, but at the bend of the cliff in front of him, Ling Wenxuan still found an abnormality, there were more guards there, driven by curiosity, he asked the three girls to return to the temporary residence prepared for them by the Blood Shadow Regiment first, and he came to the other side of the cliff.

In front of him was just an ordinary room, there were two guards standing outside the door, and through the window, Ling Wenxuan could clearly see a beautiful woman sitting at the head of the bed, he had seen this woman in Heglila who was veiled and looked very similar to the Holy Maiden.

It's strange how this woman is here, could she have been abducted here by the Blood Shadows?

In order to answer the doubts in his heart, Ling Wenxuan decided to ask her a question, so he relied on the fact that he was a distinguished guest of the Blood Shadow Troupe and set aside the guards.

"This girl, I didn't expect us to meet again, although you didn't find me in the Hexiang Pavilion that day, but I noticed you, I found that you and one of my friends are very close in appearance, and almost made me recognize the wrong person, so I want to ask how the girl was arrested here? Do you know a woman named Mu Bingyue. ”

"How did I come here, what do I have to do with you?" the woman replied in a cold voice, "But the Holy Maiden Mu Bingyue is indeed my twin sister, and my real name is Zhao Cuiying. There is an ancient proverb that says: 'Yue' is a half of 'Ying', and the irony is that I have been living as her stand-in, but it is strange to say, my sister has not told you her original name, didn't she?"

Zhao Cuiying's words made Ling Wenxuan stand motionless in place, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time before he took a step to leave this place.
