Chapter 7: The Desert King

After putting down the wine bowl, Princess Jianing touched the Linglong wolf, and suddenly said, "I wonder if Gang Master Zhu ever remembers Master Wankong?" ”

Zhu Wancai was stunned for a moment and said, "Remember, remember!" He stood up, turned around, paced a few steps, stood in front of the window and said, "Master Wankong came here twenty years ago and had a relationship with me, and I was fortunate to receive his advice, my exercises have made great progress, and now I am still engraved in the five years, how can I not remember?" But I don't know why the princess asked about Master Wankong? ”

Princess Jianing stared at Zhu Wancai and said, "Not long ago, Master Wankong was inexplicably killed in his meditation room, and the murderer left no trace. ”

Zhu Wancai was particularly surprised, and said: "As far as I know, there are no more than four people in the Ten Directions Continent today who can defeat Master Wankong, one is naturally the current Dragon Emperor, the other is the head of the Great Qiangong Gao, and there is Mr. Lingshui, maybe the Desert King Detachment also has such skills, but the Dragon Emperor and the Gao Administrator will not kill Master Wanchen, he has helped the Great Qiangong in recent years, Mr. Lingshui has passed away, he has no chance, even if he is still alive, he will not kill the Master of Wankong, but I have not heard that the Desert King Detachment has been to the Ethereal Continent in recent years!" ”

Princess Jianing said: "So this matter is a little strange, I want to solve this case when I come to the desert of Xiling Continent this time, and some places still rely on the help of Gang Leader Zhu." ”

Zhu Wancai said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I have decided to return to the Great Qiangong, so I will do my best to help the princess, princess, please!" ”

Princess Jianing smiled: "Although I like such fun, I'm not a drunkard!" ”

Zhu Wancai smiled embarrassedly: "Forgive Zhu for being reckless, forgive Zhu for being reckless!" Also, how could the princess conclude that the Soul Continent could crack this case? ”

Princess Jianing said: "I didn't explain it just now, we have already grasped some clues and come to the Xiling Continent, but I just want to confirm that the murderer may not be in the Xiling Continent." As she spoke, she pricked a piece of meat with a bamboo skewer and fed it to the Linglong wolf, who ate it very smoothly, and sneered twice proudly after eating, which made several people laugh.

Princess Jianing looked at Zhu Wancai while petting the Linglong wolf, and suddenly said, "Zhu Wancai, you are not the leader of the Lingfei Gang. ”

Zhu Wancai was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and said, "I don't know why the princess said this, how can I see that I am not the leader of the Lingfei Gang?" ”

Princess Jianing said: "The leader of the Lingfei Gang and Master Wankong have had a battle, and Master Wankong also wants to say that the Lingfei Gang is under the leadership of the Great Qiangong, and there have been records of his travels to the Western Regions of the Xiling Continent in the Great Qiangong, so the two of them are by no means one-sided, after all, it is not a trivial matter such as drinking and eating food, how can the relationship between one side be settled, and he also made a move, so it can be seen that the situation is worse?" That's why I'm sure you're not the Lingfei gang leader. ”

Zhu Wancai laughed and said: "I am indeed not the leader of the Lingfei Gang, but I am the real Zhu Wancai, I didn't expect a few broken birds to deceive Princess Jianing of the Great Qiangong, if Princess Jianing disappears, who will the Great Qiangong find to settle accounts?" ”

Princess Jianing looked at Zhu Wancai calmly, and Zhu Wancai said again: "You can't open this golden car no matter what, you have eaten my food and drunk my wine, and besides, there is already a mechanism set up in this car, the so-called wings are difficult to fly!" You three of you, even if you kill me, you won't be able to open it. ”

Princess Jianing took a bite of the dish, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, and drank another glass of Yaochi green wine. She said: "I won't kill you, you treat me so thoughtfully, wouldn't it be rude to kill you, won't that make the people in the rivers and lakes of the Ten Directions Continent laugh?" Besides, you won't kill me, it's a pity to see blood in such an elegant environment! ”

Zhu Wancai said: "What does Princess Jianing want to do at this moment?" Is it to kill me to find the mechanism to get out, or is it? ”

Princess Jianing smiled: "At this moment, of course, I will eat and drink and rest, and then go to meet the King of the Desert!" ”

Princess Jianing really ate those famous dishes in the south of the Yangtze River again, occasionally drank a sip of Yaochi green wine, ate happily, drank deliciously, and touched the bowl with some confused Zifeng. The dust is still so calm, calm as grass in the sun, and it doesn't move a blade of grass.

Zhu Wancai smiled at Princess Jianing, raised his big fingers, and then clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Wonderful, wonderful, Princess Jianing is really admirable, and when you see it, it's like bathing in a spring breeze." ”

The golden car drove in the desert under the sunset, and there was no dazzling golden light, replaced by a purple glow, surrounded by flying sand. As soon as a stream of dust fell, another stream of sand and dust flew up again, endlessly, and patches of yellow smoke were hazy.

Zifeng sat a little impatiently, suddenly stood up, looked at the dust, he was closing his eyes slightly, Princess Jianing was teasing Lingling wolf.

Zifeng said angrily: "Zhu Wancai, where are you taking us here?" You have to know that no one can afford to mess with the Great Qiangong! ”

Zhu Wancai lowered his head slightly towards Zifeng and said, "Zifeng Messenger, don't be impatient, you will know in a while." ”

Princess Jianing glanced at the window of the car in the direction of the downwind and said, "Sister Zifeng, don't worry, Mr. Zhu is going to take us to see the King of the Desert, didn't you say this?" ”

Zhu Wancai said: "I don't know how the princess can see it?" I didn't say I would send you to the King of the Desert. ”

Princess Jianing said: "You have already admitted that you are not a member of the Lingfei Gang, and you are afraid that I will go away before using this golden prisoner car, although the people outside the car have not spoken, but they have been raising sand, and Yangsha is to create an illusion as a cover, if you can pay so much attention to me in this desert except for the Lingfei Gang, then it can only be the king of the desert, maybe the king of the desert is having trouble at the moment, or you don't need to cover, if I can't see that you are the person of the king of the desert, then wouldn't it be in vain to waste your kindness?" ”

Zi Feng said: "As the princess said, the King of the Desert picked us up in this mysterious way, did he run into great trouble?" ”

Princess Jianing said: "It should be, and it should be related to the Lingfei Gang." Her tone was soft, but unquestionable.

Zhu Wancai lightly buckled the mechanism, the car window automatically closed, and he said with admiration: "I am convinced, it seems that the great event of the Desert King this time will be completed." ”

A leather maid lit a red candle in the car, and the wide car suddenly lit up. The wax light swayed gently, making the interior of the car more solemn and luxurious, and the atmosphere more harmonious.

Princess Jianing asked, "Mr. Zhu, why hasn't the King of the Desert been under the leadership of the Great Qiangong Palace?" Doesn't he know that it's good to cool off under the tree? ”

Zhu Wancai said: "The Xiling Continent is remote, barren and populated, and it is far away from the Zongling Continent, and there is little contact with all continents, and no one values such a place, so there is no need for the Desert King to be under the leadership of the Great Qiangong, isn't it good to be on the Weizhen side?" And ......"

Princess Jianing said: "Also, once you return to the leadership of the Great Qiangong, you will lose your freedom?" ”

Zhu Wancai said: "Exactly, as the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, this is the truth, and we are not against the Great Qiangong, nor are we the enemy of the Great Qiangong, so we will be safe, so it is not strong?" ”

Princess Jianing nodded, and immediately pondered. She was now sure that the crisis in the Great Qiangong Palace was not a day or two, otherwise why wouldn't there be a time to return to the Xiling Continent in the past twenty or thirty years?

After another moment, Princess Jianing said, "Sister Zifeng, Master Lichen, let's be in good spirits, we have arrived at the place where the King of the Desert lives." ”

Zifeng said: "Now that you can't see the outside in the car, how do you know that you have arrived at the place where the Desert King lives?" ”

Princess Jianing smiled: "Sister, do you feel that the golden car is no longer bumpy?" ”

Zhu Wancai said: "Princess, this is not right, the body of the golden car is extremely heavy, and walking in the desert is like walking on the ground, and there is no sense of bumps." ”

Princess Jianing said: "It seems to be like that, but when the golden car goes up and down the dunes, if you pay attention to the feelings, the body will still move unnaturally, but now there is a long way to go without moving the body, it should be to a flat land, there can be such a long flat place in the desert, only in the artificially repaired city." ”

At this time, the car stopped, the door was separated from the left and right, and one person said: "The king of the desert has invited Mr. Zhu, Princess Jianing, and Zifeng Messenger!" ”

Zhu Wancai turned out to be the head of the Desert King. He got up and got out of the car, nodding at Princess Jianing. Princess Jianing smiled slightly, got out of the car with the delicate wolf in her arms, and looked around, it turned out that this was a castle, surrounded by torches, and there were masked men in the Western Regions standing on it.

The passage is wide and long, and the decoration is simple and ornate, and it is so magnificent that you can see that it is the passage inside the castle.

The echo of the footsteps is endless, walking in the ground but not feeling the cold, the more you walk, the brighter the lights, there is a strange fragrance in the air, the fragrance is very light, but it can penetrate people's hearts and minds, refreshing people's hearts.

Walk into a ten-foot gate, and the inside is extremely wide. The white gauze tent on the hundreds of steps swayed flutteringly with the slight breeze, and Zhu Wancai climbed up and said cautiously: "Lord, Princess Jianing of the Great Qiangong has arrived." ”

There was a sound of footsteps inside, obviously in a hurry, and when the gauze tent was opened, a man with gray hair who was quite burly walked out, with a steady gait, and a gorgeous robe showed his noble style, with long and dense thick eyebrows in the red light, and big eyes slightly sunken into the sockets.

He bowed his head and arched his hand, and said in a loud voice, "I can't welcome Princess Jianing far away, and I ask the princess to forgive me!" ”

Princess Jianing said: "The prince is polite, I can't afford it at a young age, so I greet the prince on behalf of the Dragon Emperor." ”

The King of the Desert said: "Please Princess Jianing and Zifeng Messenger enter the account to speak!" ”

Princess Jianing walked into the account.

The lights in the tent are brilliant, warm and cool like early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, it is very comfortable, and there is a realistic mountain pond in the middle. The pavilions and pavilions in the pond are finely worked, the trees and flowers are swaying, and the real trees and grass are almost the same, the flowing water is non-stop, the water flows into eighteen turns, and there are small fish jumping and frolicking in the water.

It's a man-made world. But why is this little world shrouded in a white veil?
