456 The witch is dying
The two were silent for a long time, until Ma Yuan came in again to report that the camp had been packed up and was about to leave. The witch suddenly came back to her senses and asked Ma Yuan to go out, and she came immediately. Then he said to Li Xiang: "Perhaps, you should leave." Tomorrow before sunrise, I will send you a map and supplies necessary for your journey out of the Witch Country, and I hope that you will use your extraordinary wisdom to build a peaceful and ideal country beyond the Witch Kingdom and the Empire. ”
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you letting me escape?" ”
The witch said: "Of course not, I am asking you to keep a glimmer of hope for the future!" If the Witch Kingdom is defeated, the empire will have no rivals, and the great leader's obscenity will hang over everyone. If there is anyone other than me who can stand up to the Great Führer, it can only be you. But you are still too immature to be an opponent of the Great Führer, and you need time to grow. So, you have to go, and you have to leave as soon as possible! ”
Li Xiang shook his head and said: "My opinion is just the opposite, if I leave now, I will leave the shadow of defeat to the Great Leader in my heart, and when I face off with the Great Leader in the future, it will greatly affect my performance." And if I stay, even if you can't help me, there will be at least seventy or eighty thousand warriors of the Witch Country behind me, there will be a Witch City, and countless people who will resist the tyranny of the Great Führer. With so much help, even if I can't defeat the Grand Führer, at least teach him a lesson. Only then will I be able to put myself and the Führer on an equal footing in the next showdown. ”
The witch sighed helplessly and said, "Maybe you're right, then okay, you can stay." But you have to remember that you are not alone now, you still have Qibei, Xiqi, and Hua Qian to take care of. ”
Li Xiang nodded and said, "I know, but they should understand me." ”
The Witch Nation army is on the march. Li Xiang rode on a horse and walked side by side with Hua Qian. Li Xiang's eyes stared at the luxurious carriage not far away, and his brows furrowed. Suddenly, there was a neighing sound, and Li Xiang came back to his senses, only to find that Hua Qian, who was following him, looked a little gloomy.
With his heart, he saw Hua Qian's thoughts, and Li Xiang felt a little sorry in his heart. In the case that Li Xiang did not deliberately behave. Hua Qian still abandoned Ronghua Fugui without hesitation and fled the empire with him. Although there are also reasons to avoid the Great Führer, her affection for Li Xiang is not fake. Li Xiang is now focusing all her attention on the witch, but ignoring Hua Qian beside her, how can she not be wronged?
Although Li Xiang didn't want to get involved in the crossing plane, this kind of thing could not be avoided if he wanted to. Hua Qian has fallen in love with him and followed him, is he going to turn a blind eye? He was not so ruthless, so he could only sigh and reach out to hold Hua Qian's little hand.
Hua Qian was stunned at first. Looking back at Li Xiang, seeing him smiling at him, Hua Qian's grievances disappeared all at once, and she held Li Xiang's hand with joy, and a smile bloomed on her face.
Hua Qian was so easily satisfied, which made Li Xiang pity her even more. I secretly determined in my heart that I must not live up to this infatuated woman.
After five hours of marching, they finally arrived at the Witch City. Here it is. Li Xiang couldn't help but admire. In such a backward plane, under the leadership of the witch. It is really rare to build such a majestic city wall and such a majestic witch city.
When he got closer, Li Xiang found that the moat outside the city was actually dry. This made Li Xiang a little surprised, there was no water in the moat, how much more could that help? So he asked one of the generals beside him, "Brother Bai Dan." Why don't you put water in this moat? ”
Bai Dan smiled mysteriously and said, "We don't put water in the moat of our Witch City, but put other things. It was much more powerful than water, but it wasn't time yet, and it would have to wait until the enemy soldiers came to the city. As for what it is. You'll know when the time comes. ”
Although Bai Dan refused to say it, Li Xiang had already seen his thoughts with his heart. Bai Dan didn't know what it was, only that it was a black viscous oil taken from the ground, and after it was ignited, the fire was raging, and no matter how many enemies there were, it couldn't get close. Judging from these characteristics, that kind of oil is clearly oil.
This made Li Xiang a little strange, since the witch knew the use of oil, how could she not know that with simple distillation, she could refine more powerful gasoline and diesel from oil? The raw oil ignites directly, although the fire is very strong, but at the same time it will produce heavy smoke, which will cause a lot of trouble to the defenders, what does the witch think?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Xiang would not say what he thought in his heart, but just silently followed the team and continued to move forward.
After entering the city, the scenery in the city also made Li Xiang look very comfortable. Unlike the cold and rough buildings of the Empire, the buildings of the Witch Country are very beautiful, and there are many styles, each with its own characteristics. And the greening is also very good, under the shade of trees and exotic flowers, man-made buildings and nature are cleverly integrated, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
After entering the city and walking a short distance, Li Xiang was taken aback again. Somewhere behind the city gates, there was a swarthy artillery! Even if the model is still very primitive, it is indeed an artillery, and it is definitely a big killer in war. No wonder the witch is still so confident in the absolute disadvantage of the army, it turns out that there is this thing in charge. It's a pity that the witch's body can't support it, otherwise she is really not afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the empire.
Horses galloped along the straight street, and the people on the side of the road stood and saluted the carriage in which the witch rode in the procession. This is not forced by anyone, but spontaneously by the population. Their admiration for witches comes from the bottom of their hearts, and is very different from the fear and resentment that the people of the empire have for the Grand Führer.
The team soon came to a large lake with rippling blue waves, and in the direction of the main road, there was a stone arch bridge that could accommodate eight horses galloping side by side. The bridge is not only spacious, but also very long, at first glance it seems to have no end, standing on the bridge, surrounded by clear water, it is refreshing.
After a while, the team descended the bridge and came to the square in front of the Witch's Palace. The square was deserted, and there was no one to guard it at all. The same is true of the palace wall on the other side of the square, which does not seem to be afraid of someone attacking at all.
After disembarking in the square, naturally someone took the horses away, and Li Xiang and Hua Qian followed the witch who got off the carriage and entered the witch's palace along the long stone steps. The architecture of the Witch's Palace is more delicate and beautiful, and the flowers and plants are more neatly arranged, looking more like a garden than a palace.
It's a pity that Li Xiang didn't have the heart to look more, because as soon as the witch entered the palace, her figure staggered. Fortunately, she immediately stabilized and continued walking. But the speed is getting slower and slower, and the steps are getting heavier and heavier, as if I am very tired. This made Li Xiang sigh in his heart, gave Hua Qian a look, and asked her to help the witch. Hua Qian understood, pretending to get closer to the witch, and flattered her to hold the witch's arm.
With Hua Qian's help, the witch finally walked back to the dormitory. But as soon as he entered the door, it was soft to the ground, which shocked Ma Yuan, Bai Dan and several maids. At this time, they realized that the witch was unwell! You must know that witches never get sick, and suddenly become so weak, how can they not panic everyone? Fortunately, few people are qualified to enter the witch's dormitory, otherwise the news will spread, and people will be panicked before the imperial army arrives.
Helping the witch to the bed and lying down, Ma Yuan asked eagerly, "Your Majesty, how do you feel?" How could you...... Will ......"
The witch smiled weakly and said, "Don't panic, I'm fine." You all go out first, I have something to say to Rand alone. ”
Ma Yuan and the others have always resolutely followed the witch's words without hesitation, and they did not feel frustrated at all because the witch valued Li Xiang more, so they were jealous of Li Xiang or something, and they all quickly withdrew. Hua Qian also followed out with a good look, and only the witch and Li Xiang were left in the dormitory.
Li Xiang came to the witch's bed and said heavily, "How could it happen so quickly?" Is there really no way to save it? ”
Although he said so, Li Xiang actually felt very strange. His Heavenly Eye and His Heart told him that the witch didn't seem to be as weak as she appeared, and the reason why she was so dying was actually mostly pretended. This made Li Xiang very confused, why did the witch do this?
The witch shook her head weakly and said, "It's too late. If I'm gone, you'll be the only one who can fight that thing! ”
Li Xiang said suspiciously: "That thing? You mean the Great Führer? ”
"Strictly speaking, he is not a human, but something between man and a machine. I and the Great Leader come from a distant civilization, a civilization that is ten thousand times more advanced than the present era. But that civilization has been destroyed, leaving only a few terrible traces. ”
Li Xiang listened indifferently, although the witch's words were incredible, Li Xiang didn't feel so strange. He's traveled through so many planes, he's seen countless strange things, and ever since he's learned a bit about the Grand Führer, he's always wondered if he's a robot. Now that he has finally been confirmed from the witch's mouth, it really didn't surprise him.
The witch was quite satisfied with Li Xiang's attitude of only listening and not asking, but suddenly said, "Hold me, I feel very cold." ”
The witch had such a request, and of course Li Xiang stepped forward and hugged her in his arms without hesitation. If others say so, Li Xiang will hesitate in order to avoid getting into love debts. But it was the witch who made this request, and Li Xiang did it without thinking about it, which shows that the witch is absolutely different from other women in his mind.
In Li Xiang's arms, the witch also reached out to wrap her arms around Li Xiang's waist, but unfortunately her arms were already weak, which made Li Xiang feel extremely distressed. Even though he knew that the witch was pretending to be like this now, he couldn't help but hug her tighter. (To be continued.) )
