"Does Your Highness know where Xue's father is?" Tian Xian looked at Long Jiu in surprise.

"That's good!" Long Jiu nodded, "To be honest, since the last time I said goodbye, I have taken a lot of effort to gather news about you, and knowing that Miss Xue'er is looking for her father, I made people pay attention to it by the way, but I didn't expect it to be rewarded soon." ”

By the way, I paid attention to it......

Tian Xian shook his head secretly, it was not easy to find a trace of a person in this huge human continent, in order to find Xue's father, Long Jiu was afraid that he used very powerful energy.

"His Royal Highness Lao has bothered, but I don't know where Xue's father is now?"

Long Jiu laughed and drank half a cup, "Little brother Tianxian, you are not kind like this, it took me a lot of effort to get this news, you want to know like this, I am at a loss." ”

Tian Xian also smiled, "Your Highness does not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources to find Xue's father, I don't know how I can make His Highness feel that he does not lose money?"

Long Jiu didn't hide it, and said directly: "It's still what I just said, if you go and do it, not only will your father speak for you, but the imperial sister will not be able to pursue your faults, and you can also get the news from me!"

Tian Xian felt very strange in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he simply asked directly: "I don't know if His Highness can tell me directly, why do you want to do this, this matter seems to be my benefit anyway, and this favor is not good." ”

Long Jiu drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp and smiled, "In this matter, it is the Longyuan Empire that really benefits!"

"Why?"

Long Jiu looked at Tian Xian with a smile, "Because this will not only allow you to get the approval of your father." At the same time, it can be regarded as bringing you closer to the Empire, and you already have the official position of the Empire, so we have a lot of advantages over other forces in terms of wooing you. ”

This sentence was simply speechless.

Now all forces are fighting for Tianxian, the holder of the evil eye, and it can be said that they have exhausted their means, but Xiang Long Jiu is so happy to run in front of you, and he is honest and uses conditions to win you over.

Tianxian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Highness's clear way of wooing people really makes people have to agree." ”

"So you agreed?" Long Jiu was overjoyed.

"I don't understand, though. Tian Xian asked suspiciously. "There are countless strange people on the continent. The Evil Eye is not a treasure that can dominate the world, why is Your Highness so enthusiastic to woo me, even at the expense of using his own strength, regardless of the danger. Personally run to this kind of place. With the dignity of your prince. That's too much to look up to. ”

Long Jiu just smiled slightly this time, poured the wine, and drank it all again.

Fill yourself with another glass. Long Jiu stood up, looked at the surrounding barren mountains and mountains, and said with pride: "I, Long Jiu, am only a mere prince now, but I will definitely not always be just a prince, this Longyuan Empire! This vast mountains and rivers will be held in my hands in the future!"

"Your Highness, you're drunk!"

When the two guards who protected Long Jiu heard this, their faces immediately changed drastically.

Long Jiu smiled, "Those who fight for the world, why not be afraid of rumors! The brothers in the imperial capital all have the same idea, there is nothing to hide, since you two can't listen to this, retreat farther." ”

When the two guards heard this, they exchanged glances with each other, and they both lowered their heads and did not dare to speak again.

Tian Xian was very surprised, it was naturally a common thing for the royal children to compete for power, but most of them were secretive about it, they were kind on the surface, and they secretly had murderous intentions behind their backs, so it was surprising that the big lama told these things to outsiders.

Long Jiu pointed to the distant mountains and said: "My father is in the prime of life, the empire is in full swing, and it is inevitable to open up the territory in the future, if we who are princes do not accumulate strength now, once the war breaks out, we will be left behind by the meritorious brothers in the blink of an eye, and I Long Jiu naturally can't be resigned to being left behind!"

Turning around, Long Jiu's eyes shone brightly, "Little Brother Tianxian, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and I would definitely not be just passers-by on the same side, and I would never be willing to be crowned king, and you would never be just a character who was chased by major forces and hid everywhere! If you can help me, I promise you with my loyalty to the Longyuan Empire, in the future! I will definitely give you a result!"

This Long Jiu is really ambitious.

If when they met for the first time, they just thought that he was open-minded and didn't always hide himself like those noble children, then this time, Tian Xian felt that he was like a sharp lion cub, roaring at the grassland that might be controlled in the future.

"Does Your Highness want to pull me together to work hard for the throne?" Seeing that Long Jiu was undisguised, he simply asked directly.

"That's good!" Long Jiu's face turned red, "How can a man be on one side, and the eldest husband should fight for the world! If I was born in an ordinary people's family, it would be fine, but since I was born in the emperor's family, why don't I gamble on a qiē fight once in my life! Even if I am ruined, I Long Jiu has no regrets!"

"And you!" Long Jiu looked at Tianxian with burning eyes, "It's the help I need the most!"

"Thank you for your kindness. Tianxian only smiled, "But I have no intention of fame and fortune, I will agree to this matter as much as possible, but in the future, the rest of the things may not be enough!"

Long Jiu was not surprised by Tian Xian's words, and laughed and said, "Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, if you don't want to do these things, I naturally won't force it." But my dragon nine to fight for this throne is not for the world's legends and fame, but only for the pride of men in this world! Brother Tianxian, I am sure that you will definitely help me in the future!"

Tianxian dragged his cheeks and looked at Long Jiu in front of him strangely, His Royal Highness the prince can be said to be catchy, but I have to admit that although these words sound somewhat arrogant, they will not be annoying, but they are really very demagogic.

Perhaps, this is the innate character of the descendants of the emperor's family......

Long Jiu quickly sat down, stared at Tian Xian and said, "I know that my words are a bit arrogant, but I, Long Jiu, am by no means a person who talks about it, if you have a chance, you might as well inquire up and down the Longyuan Empire." Listen with your own ears and hear what kind of person I, Long Jiu, am among all the princes!"

This guy is full of confidence.

Tian Xian secretly sighed and said, "Okay! I will inquire about these things myself in the future, but I don't know what Your Highness wants me to do, what is it?"

Long Jiu smiled, his handsome face showed a bit of cunning, "Since the little brother Tianxian is hiding here, he naturally knows what kind of place this is, right?"

"I know, it is a buffer zone on the border of the Longyuan Empire, a chaotic area commonly known as "chaotic streets" in many places. Tian Xian snorted.

Long Jiu still smiled: "There are many reasons for the appearance of chaotic streets. Now I can't go into details. But you should know that although this is a borderland, it is not allowed to live in a crowd, and for those who are in the bazaar. We're just turning an eye to it. Close one eye. After all, you can't wipe out all the people here. ”

"I know. ”

"But now, there's a place where there's anti-people. Long Jiu's face turned a little colder.

"Anti-people?"

"It's not far from here. Many of the inhabitants of the streets, in defiance of the Empire's special orders, have now gathered and begun to build fortifications, as if they were going to resist to the end. ”

"Does this have anything to do with what His Highness told me?"

Long Jiu smiled and immediately became amiable, "Of course, I mean, you go and tear down that rebellious den, and then I will be responsible for taking credit for you, it's very simple, right?"

"I'm going to tear down that den?" Tianxian frowned.

"Yes, although those chaotic people are just a rabble, but they are now challenging the dignity of the empire, and blatantly grabbing the empire's territory, this is a big crime to shake the foundation of the empire and kill the nine clans!" Long Jiu's smile was a little more complacent, "As long as you break up those rabble, it will be a meritorious service to the empire, and I will make a statement to my father, and my father will definitely reward you, then your current trouble will be solved, and the imperial sister will naturally not embarrass you again, and ......"

"I can also find out where Snow's father is. "Tian Xian directly added.

"Not bad!"

"Doesn't I need to do anything else?"

"Not at all! I don't like to use intrigues against my friends! When I'm done, I'll tell you where Miss Xue'er's father is! Besides, there's one thing I can tell you right now!"

"What's going on now?"

"Those alien friends of yours, they're all safe and sound now, I've already said hello to the Wolf Fang, and they won't embarrass those guys. ”

When Tian Xian heard this, he suddenly looked bad, "What does this have to do with them?"

Long Jiu smiled indifferently, "Little Brother Tianxian, there are some things that you are still too casual, maybe you feel that your affairs are completely out of touch with them, and your escape from the Thunder Ancient City this time will not have any impact on them, but you must know that your every move now involves the interests of many people, the day you left, there were a large number of people surrounding the temporary stations of those alien races, including the people of the Holy Spirit Temple, the people of the Blood Alliance, and the Imperial Army...... If I hadn't sent someone to relieve the siege immediately, many of those alien heads would have been cut off. ”

The corner of Tianxian's eyes moved, and he glanced at Tu Ge not far behind him, Tu Ge's hearing was excellent, his expression looked a little angry, it seemed that he hadn't expected this situation before, Long Jiu's words made him very angry.

Tianxian muttered for a while, "I have almost no contact with those aliens, but I don't want them to be implicated because of me, thank you Your Highness for this." ”

Long Jiu nodded, "I guess you think so, it's just a gesture, I also want to prove my sincerity, those alien races are naturally dispensable in my opinion." ”

"It seems that this time, Your Highness, you are bound to win, and I must deal with this matter!"

"I do hope so, but whether you want to go or not is your freedom!" Long Jiu smiled confidently.

"Okay, so let's talk to me about the situation now!"

Tian Xian and Long Jiu sat at the small table and talked for a long time, until the sun set, and after the two guards urged a few times, Long Jiu hurriedly explained a few more words and stood up.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Long Jiu regretted slightly, "I found that even if it is these headaches, it will be very pleasant to talk to you, as a prince, I can't stay outside for a long time, I must rush back to the territory of the empire before dark, but I have fully explained the matter, I will wait for your news at the outpost." If nothing else, three days is enough time for you to solve this problem. ”

Tian Xian nodded, "I see." ”

"Goodbye!!" Long Jiu solemnly bowed his hand to Tian Xian, turned around and jumped on horseback, and galloped away with his two guards.

Gu Li immediately walked over, "You're finally done talking, why is your face so ugly, what is that kid doing here?"

"Recruit!" Tian Xian shrugged.

"Recruitment?"

Tianxian stood up, identified the direction, frowned and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's set off immediately." Go to the East!"

"Oriental?"

Guli is strange. "We're not going to the Far North......"

"Until then, there's a place I have to go!" Tian Xian turned around, and the snow had already come to him.

"Do you hear that?" Tian Xian seemed to be able to tell what she was thinking on Xue's face.

Snow nodded slightly, "I can know what you're hearing." ”

"Let's go, then. This was a bonus. ”

Xue nodded silently. But biting his lip. It seems that he wants to stop talking.

"Don't worry, even your father can't force you to do anything. But we need to find him and tell him that his daughter wants to see him!" Tian Xian shook Xue's hand, "No matter what, we need to put an end to this matter. ”

"Hmm. Xue nodded obediently.

"Let's get ready, everyone! we're going to a strange place this time!" said Tian Xian loudly to everyone.

This time, Xiao Ash didn't play a little bit anymore, and stayed there obediently, everyone sat on its back, so to speak, this is entirely the credit of Xiang, if she hadn't shown her power before, scared Xiao Ash half to death, this time it probably still wouldn't let others go on its back.

Of course, this is also related to Tian Xian's bad eyes this time, and the first one with a bad heart pulled incense on Xiao Ash's back......

After everyone brought everything with them, Ash roared and rushed into the sky.

When Xiao Ash flew eastward, Tian Xian briefly explained to everyone the purpose of Long Jiu's coming here this time, and everyone suddenly realized why Tian Xian wanted to go to the east.

The street where a large number of rioters had gathered, was a little to the east.

Xiao Ash's speed was extremely fast, Tian Xian estimated it, according to the position given by Long Jiu, Xiao Ash would fly for about ten minutes and reach his destination.

Calculating the time, Tian Xian made Xiao Ash reduce his speed and altitude, and began to slowly hover in the sky, looking for a target.

"Over there!!" Tu Ge said suddenly, his face was not very good, and he seemed to be a little unaccustomed to flying in the sky like this.

Tianxian looked in the direction of Tu Ge's finger, only to see that in the drowsy night, there was a piece of fire shining in the distance.

Patting Xiao Ash's head, Tian Xian said: "Be careful not to get close to the border of the empire, you will be discovered, go around and see what is going on with the light there!"

Little Ash roared, recognized the position, spread his wings and flew into the air, and immediately burrowed into the clouds and disappeared without a trace.

Skimming the sky and flying above the light, the little gray plunged headlong into the clouds, and then the dim light landed silently......

"Looks like it's here......"

Tian Xian looked at the fire on the ground, it was obviously a city, or a fortress, many places in it were lit with torches, and torches were also burning more than a hundred meters outside the fortress, and the surrounding area was bright, and it seemed that it was afraid of people sneaking up at night.

Little Ash fell from the sky, and the strong wind immediately extinguished many torches, and the huge sound of landing made the noise immediately heard from the fortress in front of it.

A light lit up on the fortress, and countless people poured up, and by the light of the fire, Tian Xian could see the nervous expressions of everyone on the humble fortress about fifty meters away.

Looking left and right, Tianxian sighed a little.

The fortress in front of them is really a bit reluctant to say, because these people obviously can't find an intact stone building parapet, but only use mud mixed with sand and stone, and then use wood to support it, so they build a high parapet, and this parapet wall is not to mention how strong it is, and there are no defensive fortifications on it, let alone arrow stacks or anything.

Ash was lying on the ground, and if he looked up, he would definitely be a cut above the wall of the parapet.

And behind this rough parapet were people in rags, with yellow faces and thin muscles, full of nervousness in the face of a sudden enemy.

These people ...... Is it really a rebel?

Tian Xian began to doubt Long Jiu's words a little, according to Long Jiu's words. Ignoring the established laws of this gray area, these people gathered people with sinister intentions, killed many people, and established strongholds, which can be regarded as extremely vicious, and in a short time attracted many people to take refuge, and now there are thousands of people in this city.

Tian Xian couldn't see that hideous bloodthirsty color on the faces of these people, and in the chaotic streets, Tian Xian had seen enough of those faces that destroyed humanity.

And on the faces of these people, there is only nervousness and uneasiness.

"Lean in. Tian Xian waved his hand forward.

Ash let out a low roar. Go ahead. Its heavy steps thundered, and each step made the faces of the people behind the Hu wall a little pale.

"You...... Who are you?"

Finally, when Tian Xian approached the parapet wall to about thirty meters, Xiao Ash's steps directly stepped on a lot of rough and shallow traps. A man on the parapet shouted.

Ash looked up. Tianxian stood on top of it. Looking down at the people behind the parapet, he replied loudly, "I have been entrusted by the Longyuan Empire to persuade you to leave on your own. Don't gather people here to make trouble. ”

"People from the Empire?"

"Has the Empire already sent troops? too soon!"

"Our castle hasn't been built yet!"

"But it seems that there are only a few people here, and there is no army!"

"Can't you see such a big monster?"

Tian Xian's answer made the other side panic.

"I advise you not to resist, otherwise even if I can't do anything to you today, the Imperial army will then slaughter you, such a fortress is useless, if necessary, I can tear it down now!" Tian Xian shouted loudly.

There was another panic on the other side, and immediately there were voices of surrender, but they were quickly drowned out by more opposition.

"Hey, you...... Are you really from the Empire?" the voice asked earlier.

Tianxian Zhengse replied: "I guarantee that I came here under the commission of the empire, and the purpose is only to ask you to leave, I will not kill you, I just want you to leave, don't make trouble, I hope you can understand your situation, otherwise once the imperial army arrives, none of you will be able to escape!"

Tianxian is naturally telling the truth, such a fortress, even the imperial cavalry is not needed, as long as the battlelike hoplites advance in one round, they can be completely destroyed, and looking at these yellow-skinned and thin people, and they don't have the appearance of decent weapons, they are powerless to resist at all. Tianxian really doesn't know how such a group of guys dare to do such a blatant thing.

A man stood out from the crowd, this man was a little thin, about thirty years old, his eyes were bright, he shouted loudly to Tianxian: "We didn't gather to make trouble, we had to gather here as a last resort, if the empire really wants to take care of this land, then please give us a way to live! As long as we can live! We don't want to go against the empire!"

Tianxian frowned slightly, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that the empire is embarrassing you?"

The man became excited when he heard this, "There is no empire, but we can't wait to die! In this place, we can be killed at any time! We have no way to come here to survive, but even then we want to die like this! We ...... We just want a way to live!"

Seeing that this man was very excited, Tian Xian felt that there might be some hidden secrets in this matter, and immediately said: "What is going on? You can make it clear, if you are really forced to do so, I can explain the situation to the empire for you!"

"Really?" the man was taken aback.

"Don't listen to him, when did the Empire take care of our life or death!?"

"Yes, this place has always been a place where the empire has always been in charge of killing and buriing, and has never cared about our life or death!"

"Boss! You can't be fooled by him! He knows the situation, and it will only be easier to find a way to deal with us!"

The people around the man were talking nonsense, almost one-sided against Tianxian. The man hesitated.

Tian Xian looked at the group of excited people, and hesitated for a while, it is actually very easy to disperse them now, looking at their appearance, there is no resistance at all, Xiao Ash only needs to rush in for a while to destroy and completely dismantle this fortress, but these people seem to have some hidden secrets to gather here, which makes Tian Xian very concerned.

Just as he was thinking about how to get these people to tell him the truth so that he could solve the problem quickly, a childish voice suddenly came from the corner of the parapet.

"Big brother, is it big brother?"

Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, followed the prestige, and saw that in the corner of the parapet, a dirty little boy was showing his head, looking at himself with surprise and joy.

Tianxian's eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized that this was a little boy he had seen in the chaotic streets in the southern part of the Longyuan Empire, and he had given him food at that time, and he still remembered the scene of him pulling her sister to eat together.

How did he come here? The Longyuan Empire is vast, and the south and north are separated by 108,000 miles, even if he has been on the road since that meeting, with his thin body, I am afraid that he will not be able to come here.

Thinking about it, Tian Xian's heart suddenly "chuckled", could it be ...... This boy has been sold by his parents, and this is why he came here!

Tianxian clenched his fists and said behind him: "Bring him here, I have something I want to ask him!"

Gu Li stood behind Tianxian, nodded when she heard the words, her figure flickered, and the person had turned into a phantom and disappeared.

On the parapet, I suddenly remembered an exclamation, only to see Gu Li's figure appear instantly, grabbed the boy's shoulder, and threw it back hard, the boy screamed and flew over, and when he was about to hit Tianxian, a bare hand grabbed his collar from the ear, and Gu Li had returned to the back of Tianxian.

"Good...... It's amazing!" Xiang couldn't help but be stunned in surprise when she saw Gu Li use the stigma for the first time.

"Let that kid go!!"

"You lackey of the Empire!"

"I actually attacked the child! I fought with you!"

Gu Li's actions immediately attracted a lot of shouting and abuse, and the people behind the parapet were extremely excited for a while.

Tian Xian caught the little boy from Gu Li's fingers, and gently tapped Xiao Ash's head with his foot: "Let them be quiet." ”

Little Ash roared angrily, his wings flapped forward, and suddenly a strong wind crashed out, and the people on the parapet were blown back and forth for a while, and the entire parapet was also torn open by the wind with a loud click.

Tian Xian didn't look at the situation over there, patted the dust on the little boy's body, and rubbed his head with a smile, "You still know me?"

The little boy looked at Tianxian with some fear in his eyes, but he was quickly replaced by excitement, and said loudly, "Of course I know! ”

Tianxian couldn't help laughing, this little guy is an eye thief, he is two years old, and his previous appearance has changed a little, but he didn't expect him to identify himself at a glance.

"Why are you here, still with these guys?" asked Tian Xian again.

"I ...... My sister was sold to human traffickers, so I followed all the way, and then rescued my sister and ran here. ”

The day is idle and moving.

This little guy is thin and thin, and he looks like he is seven or eight years old when he looks closely, and he actually follows the trafficking group for his sister, without eating or drinking, and sleeping in the open, such a child doesn't know how much hardship he has endured to save his sister......

"Good ......," Tian Xian patted him on the head, "Is your sister here too? ”

The little boy's expression darkened, "Sister...... He's dead. ”

Tianxian felt for a while, and couldn't help but scream, "What did you say!?"

The little boy's expression was still there, "Dead...... A few days ago, I was killed by those, and I ...... I want revenge, but ......"

Tears welled up in the eyes, and the little boy sobbed, "But I can't, I can't fight them......"

When Tian Xianyan heard this, he immediately touched the main joints of the child's body with his hand, only to find that he seemed to have been injured not long ago, the bones on his body were slightly misplaced, and his skin was still bruised under the dirty clothes, and he looked like he had been beaten.

"Those people...... Kill your sister?" Tian Xian rushed to his head with a wave of anger, and looked at the people who were climbing up from the parapet with a blank eye.

"No...... It wasn't them! they saved me!" the little boy shouted.

"What? they saved you?" Tianxian was stunned for a moment.

"If it weren't for them, I would have died, and...... We don't get together, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I won't be able to live now. ”

This sentence made Tian Xian quickly calm down, "What's going on? You speak slowly, explain clearly!" (To be continued......)
