Chapter 336: Cold
Chapter 336: Cold
Unable to bring out the slightest warmth, she bit her teeth lightly, as some years ago, tightly protected the young man in front of her in her arms, and used her slender body to temporarily warm him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I don't know how long it took to hold him like this, the sun in the sky was much bigger, and the tide had receded far away.
It's been a long time, and the boy in his arms hasn't moved again.
Xu is difficult to face this established fact, he didn't dare to bow his head to probe his qi veins, how many times in his heart silently hoped, the people under him just need to exhale a little, so that I know that you are still alive
"Woo woo ....... Finally, he raised his hand and gagged his mouth, and whimpered, and the sound became louder and louder, and the more he cried, the more he wept. She jerked to her feet, dodging him and throwing him tumbling onto the scorching sand.
"Bastard, you said you would protect me, are you going to run away again?" her eyes were full of tears, she reached out and grabbed Wan Tingjun's shoulder, swaying vigorously from side to side, and then seeing that he didn't respond, she stretched out her hand and shook it vigorously, and the palm wind was about to fall down his cheek.
However, at this moment, the seriously injured or dead teenager unexpectedly coughed.
"Ahem!" his body leaned forward violently, and the choking sea water was completely coughed out by him, and the qi in his chest suddenly became unblocked.
"Hey, please, I'm still alive! If you use a little more force, I'm going to be really shaken to death by you, can't the girl's family be gentle?
Desert.
The dark clouds strangled the canopy of the sky slowly moving, and the entire desert was covered with dense shadows - the sky and the earth seemed to be one color, or there was no heaven and no earth, just two parallel spaces, converging and sighing.
The bell of the convoy rang in the wind and sand, sparse and dragged. The shade under the clouds gave the traveler a rare respite, and the merchants on the hunchbacks, covered with wind and sand, leaned crookedly on the hump, roasted by the steaming heat of the desert.
The camel bell is far away, the wind and sand dance wildly, the long road is long, and the ancient road is long.
This convoy of 100 people set off from the thunderstorm's mall - Black Lake Point, the team was huge, and actually hired dozens of divine warriors to escort them westward, and it took two months to cross the entire river basin to send the sealed divine blast stone on the car to the other end of the desert - the Falling Flame Imperial City.
The man with eagle-like eyes squatting on the leading carriage kept looking forward, and suddenly straightened up at this moment, "Phew!" spit out the hair wrapped around the corners of his mouth, and shouted excitedly: "Look! Look, it's here! The falling flame has arrived, everyone will keep up with me, and the imperial city is ahead!"
The spirit of everyone in the imperial city was shaken, and the whip urged the cattle to trot, and in the yellow sand of the riot, the scene of the convoy rushing again appeared.
Falling Flame Imperial City. A hundred years ago, it was built by the Luoyan clan who migrated to this place, and then after the expansion of generations, it has become more and more great, and it has become a mountain-like existence, which can be seen from a distance on the Yellow Sand Road.
It has become a famous city on this east-west road, and it is also a pilgrimage place in the hearts of millions of people of the Falling Flame Clan.
Every year, countless camel caravans pass through here, and the flame gate and Luoxia Mountain that divide the two gates have become the "eyes and ears" of the east and west, and the falling flame city is the only ancient imperial city in this empty desert, guarding the throat of the east-west trade route, firmly controlled by the falling flame royal family, and holding the lifeblood of the small half of the merchants in the divine realm.
"In the Falling Flame City, it seems to be very lively, and it is still two days away from the Lantern Festival!" The camel cart that followed suddenly stopped, and the young man on it jumped off the hump, stared at the wind and sand for a long time, and suddenly ran towards the ruins of the Gobi not far away.
"This person can actually see through the wind and sand here? Obviously, he is a god warrior of no low rank......
The big man who took the lead was named Chu Jiang, and he spoke the most typical thunderstorm country sound, and he was an old servant who had been coming and going on this road for more than ten years, and the guards who accompanied him all called him Uncle Chu Jiang.
At this moment, he was shocked in his heart, and he bowed his mouth to the small knife man who was traveling with him. He asked softly, "When did you have such a person in the team?"
The little knifeman was wearing a silver sword, with a silver pendant around his neck, and a silver hoop on his head, so even the muscles exposed on his arms were tightened by the silver rings, just because he liked silverware very much on weekdays.
So everyone called him in silver, and at this moment silver looked at the uncle's eyes, so he hurriedly pulled the camel stiff rope, signaled the whole team to stop and rest, and stared at the person running forward with shrewd eyes, and looked at the young man from head to toe with just one glance.
Unlike the Divine Warriors in the ranks, this young man had a fair face that had not been sharpened by the wind and sand, and a huge long sword that spanned the size of a human body on his back, especially so, but his steps were always graceful, unhindered by the wind and sand.
Looking at it like this, Silver held his chin with one hand and pondered for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I don't know very well, along the way, I did forget when there was such a person." ā
The mercenaries of the convoy were hired when they set off from Heihu Point, and they were not undressed and swords were not separated from their bodies along the road - since the collapse of the Longxiang regime, Jiangdu has experienced the rebellion of the four kings outside the border, and no one in the Mobei area has dared to ask after the fight.
Outside of Luoxia, there was even more chaos, thieves and ruffians were rampant on the trade road, and the caravans were often looted, so all the merchants who wanted to take this road had to spend a lot of money to hire mercenaries to guard all the way.
"Boy, it's the first time, right? In two days, it won't be just the Lantern Festival?" the uncle and Silver glanced at each other, then shouted at the young man in the wind and sand.
"Shh............h The silver eyes were sharp, and he knew where he was, so he nosed and shouted unscrupulously: "Hmph, the lazy donkey has a lot of and urine uphill, and this has rushed to Luoxiakou......." However, before he finished speaking, he was blocked by Chu Jiang.
The young man's voice in the wind and sand was slightly nervous, he paused, and argued in a low voice, "I... I'm from Jiangdu, but my wife lives in this Falling Flame City, and I'm just here to see her. ā
Chu Jiang nodded silently, glanced at the desert again, took a sip in his mouth, and spit out the yellow sand that flew in: "Now is the big day for Princess Falling Flame to worship the god of the wilderness, and once today passes, according to the rules of her clan, on Valentine's Day tomorrow night, the princess must be choosing a son-in-law - now, the imperial city is wide open, and it must be welcoming the noble son of which country, no wonder it will be so lively." ā
The young man was surprised, stood at the end of the wind and sand, and blurted out: "Princess Falling Flame?"
The uncle nodded casually: "Hehe, that's just the name of their own clan, and the people inside and outside this Falling Flame City mostly call her Princess Fei'er." ā
"Fei'er?Fei'er?" Hearing this, the young man's voice was a little anxious, as if he was about to pronounce these two words extremely proficiently, and immediately, his face was fierce again, and he immediately asked, "Valentine's Day?
The current yellow sand is much more urgent, and the people on the hump lie down to avoid the sand, and it took about a long time before Chu Jiang's voice came from the clear wheel sound: "Valentine's Day has been around for a long time in this Falling Flame clan.
According to legend, it is the day when their ancestor Aragami accepts relatives, and there is such a reincarnation after every 10,000 days, and this time it is also a coincidence! It happened with Nanye's Lantern Festival, and as a result, the Falling Flame Royal Family was even more wanton, about half a year ago, it had been notified to the royal sons of various countries to come to this princess to choose a son-in-law. ā
Then he sighed, followed the distant Lile in front of him, and then continued: "Hey, it is also for this reason that our caravan had to avoid the main road and let the Luoxia Pass pass for the dignitaries of your country to pass, so the number of inspectors along the way has gradually increased, why haven't you noticed it on the road?"
"Naturally, I found ......" The young man's eyes widened slyly, and then suddenly dimmed, and his voice became much quieter, and after a while, he muttered: "It's just that what I saw was some burning, killing and looting, all the way." But I saw a lot of officers and soldiers searching for ......" Speaking of this, his voice became a little sharper, "Isn't this flaming soldier safe for the order of the merchants?
"Oh, you haven't been back to Long Xiang for a long time?" Chu Jiang was surprised, and found that he had lost his eyes.
"Hmm!" the young man clenched the hilt of his sword with one hand, and subconsciously looked in the direction behind the Wanzhong Yellow Sand, "From Maple Leaf City." ā
The words were only a short sentence, and the capable mercenary saw a flash of confusion from his words, his eyebrows froze, and the cold light flashed in his eyes, and at this moment the shadow of the young man was forced out of the wind and sand! Walking in such a big wind and sand, he opened his mouth to speak against the wind, and he didn't inhale a grain of sand between his breaths?
Uncle Chu Jiang took a breath of cold air, but it was only that, and the expression on his face was the same as before, as if it had never changed. However, he wondered uneasily: Why didn't he take a good inventory when he set off? There was actually such a dangerous person of unknown origin mixed in the convoy...... Fortunately, I am almost at the foot of the imperial city, and I am not afraid of any more trouble.
......
"After three points of fighting the Longxiang regime, didn't Luo Yan stand on his own as a country? On the border of the Najiang River, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, how can he get closer to the imperial city, and the soldiers and generals seem to be uncontrolled one by one, and they are a little more fierce than thieves and horses. The caravan was getting deeper and deeper away from the Falling Flame City, and seeing the tall walls and the earthy yellow beacon tower, the young man couldn't help but ask again.
"It's someone who has read a book, right? I know a lot about the world's major events. Looking at this young man who had not yet taken off, Chu Jiang's eyes had a bit of ridicule in his eyes, and he shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid you don't know who is in charge of this Falling Flame City now!"
"Who? isn't it the Falling Flame Emperor?" the young man asked in surprise.
The uncle leaned comfortably in the middle of the hump, his cold eyes narrowed, looking at the Falling Flame Ancient City that was slowly revealed in the wind and sand, and spit out a low sentence from his chapped lips: "I have already changed the sky, otherwise according to the princess's temperament, I will definitely not be able to recruit a son-in-law from this marriage." ā
"It's a different day? Could it be that there is also a riot in this Falling Flame City?" Hearing this, the young man blurted out a low voice, and his eyes changed imperceptibly.
"Hehe, the falling flame is still the falling flame, but the battle has been going on for a long time...... A year ago, at the Falling Flame Clan Elders Meeting in the Barren Land, the Falling Flame Emperor failed to go in time, so the four elders were very angry, and the Emperor was suppressed; ā
Chu Jiang shook his head slightly, but his eyes were looking at the flourishing crowd behind the loess wall, and in his sighing, he actually sighed slightly!" "In this way, the Holy Martial Army, the City Guards, and the 20,000 wolf cavalry generals in the Falling Flame City Zhou are completely in their own way, not to mention letting them guard the people around the city, even the military guards themselves often have weapon fights. ā
"Holy Warrior Kazuha?...... Could it be that the divine law has been cultivated to the realm of the Great Sect Heaven?" the young man muttered and repeated, suddenly bowing his head and saying nothing.
"En, I just heard about it!" Uncle Chu Jiang's chapped lips opened and closed slightly in the wind and sand, and he smiled like this, revealing his yellow teeth full of sand, "I heard that he was a genius in his martial arts cultivation, but he didn't know anything about this political way!"
After a pause, Chu Jiang said again: "Fortunately, there is also this princess Fei'er, who has a high level of understanding and learns quickly, she was sent out of the palace when she was five years old to set up the responsibility of the king, and when she was ten years old, she had the power of a god, and she only returned when she was fifteen years old to help the emperor deal with the military and political affairs of the falling flames, and to meet with caravans from all over the world." Hey, what a prodigy!"
The young man was silent, and as the uncle narrated, there was a slight joy in his eyes.
"Right now, the princess is fighting to the death with the support of the Rose Maiden and the people in the city!" Uncle Chu Jiang sighed, "It's been a whole year, and she hasn't been able to take a single step in the Forbidden Palace...... Anyone knows it's full of eyeliner. The Falling Flame Emperor is also firmly controlled by the Council of Elders, and as soon as Valentine's Day passes this year, Princess Fei'er, who has reached the age of eighteen, will be married away from home - by that time, the entire Falling Flame Imperial City will really fall into the clutches of Yiye. ā
When she said this, the uncle was silent for a moment - at this time three years ago, she happened to return to the city, and she still remembered the scene when the Luan team entered the city of falling flames: it was snowing heavily at that time, but her body seemed to be seriously injured!
Lying in a coma on the feather bed of the car, and then somehow the horse was frightened, Luan drove it like that, and the princess woke up, oh, you don't know, it was crowded with people! All of a sudden, there was no movement, and they were all shocked by the princess's beauty--it took a long time for the onlookers to wake up, and immediately spread the word.
When he landed, the whole city shook, and everyone was overjoyed, saying that there was a princess who had won the "Purple Flame" in this Falling Flame City. (Purple Flame: A specialty of the Fallen Lands, the most beautiful crystal in the divine realm).
Thinking of the year, the uncle also had a lot of emotion in his eyes, but the princess became depressed, she was a lively and smart baby when she was a child, and after she came back, she rarely came out to see people in the deep palace alone. Emperor Falling Flame originally wanted to support her as the Empress of Falling Flame, but the sacrifices in the city were extremely opposed, and the Holy Maiden Su Wei made even more trouble, so the matter was delayed.
