Chapter 91: Loyalty and Faith
Qinghong's appearance made the originally lively atmosphere in the Dragon Hall instantly quiet, and even a little cold. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Mu Tian noticed the sinking of the city lord's face, she knew that it was because her "dragon control" was far away from his imagination, and the luck in her heart was also shattered, but the luck was shattered but made her feel a lot easier.
She slowly walked to the center of the hall and bowed slightly towards Makino, while pressing her hand on the top of the green dragon's head beside her, trying to lower its high head as well. But Qinghong didn't seem to have a good impression of the stranger in front of him, and he refused to do so, revealing his mouth full of slender sharp teeth and roaring at the people around him with hostility.
Mu Tian had no choice but to ignore it, and said to Mu Ye, who had already made up his face: "City Lord, this is my dragon." ”
As soon as Mu Tian said this, the dragon hall immediately became enthusiastic again.
Many of the people present were the ministers of the pastoral capital and the patriarchs of aristocratic families. They had seen Makino's dragon rider, and even the elders had seen the old castle lord's dragon, but they had never seen such a thin dragon rider - the delicate neck seemed to be twisted off by an ordinary Terran warrior, and the wings were fledgling, and the scales were as small and dull as fish scales, and even the fangs in the mouth were so small. This is a far cry from the tall and powerful dragon in their hearts.
"Are you kidding me?" the words squeezed out of Makino's mouth, and the half-raised wine glass swayed.
Mu Xiang on the side looked at his daughter in the center of the hall with a worried expression. She didn't expect her daughter to bring back a young dragon, which was definitely not what the city lord expected, so she was so angry, right?......
And Mu Lun's bright eyes also flashed a trace of worry, he didn't expect Mu Tian to really bring back a dragon, but whether it was a young dragon or a giant dragon, this was enough for him to admire. And the Muqing University scholar had no expression on his face, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
"Lord of the city, there are no subordinates, there is no doubt that it is my dragon master. Mu Tian raised his head and looked directly at Mu Ye, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Dragon, do you call this green-haired, skinny waste a dragon?" Makino's shrill voice echoed in the dragon hall, and no one dared to squeak, for fear that the spearhead would be transferred to them.
Mu Tian didn't make a sound, but his body trembled a little, and Qinghong beside him seemed to hear that the swaying person in front of him was belittling it, and the green glow in his eyes gradually converged.
"Muqing!" Makino's body shook again, and the wine in the wine glass dripped on the long table in front of him, drop by drop like a blood rainbow.
"The old minister is ......" Mu Qing seemed to know that he must be indispensable in this muddy water, and hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly towards Mu Ye.
"If I'm not mistaken, you taught her knowledge, right?" Mu Ye didn't look at Mu Qing, but at Mu Tian, as if the person standing in front of him was not his own people, but enemies.
The muscles on Mu Qing's face twitched, and he hurriedly replied: "Yes, but ......"
"Then you come and tell her, what is described in the books of the capital of the paste!" Makino interrupted him directly and said sharply.
"Uh...... Obey!" Mu Qing only coughed lightly, and then memorized the ancient saying that he had been remembering for a long time since he was a bachelor, describing the dragon, "The dragon is also as high as a tall tree covering the clouds and the sun, as wide as a wide river bridge and crossing a boat, with scales like a solid shield, teeth like a sharp blade, claws like a scimitar, a tail like an iron whip, and a breath like a ......."
"Alright!" Makino interrupted his continued chatter and continued to stare at Mu Tian, "Tell me, what did you bring back that match the characteristics of the dragon?"
Mu Tian inadvertently saw her mother's gaze, she shook her head slightly, as if to tell her not to continue to contradict her.
"Loyalty should not be greater than faith. Mu Tian's mind suddenly sounded the words of Mu Yuan University, so she turned her head away and stopped looking at that gaze.
"Lord of the city, first of all, Qinghong is a dragon, and it is a green dragon, which is the belief of our pastoral capital, regardless of the old and young. Secondly, although it is not related to me as a bloodline contract, it can also achieve a power that should not be underestimated through the dragon control technique and cooperate with it. It's been a difficult journey, and the lives of my subordinates have been saved by it several times, so for me, it is my dragon. ”
Mu Tian's crisp voice echoed in the silent Dragon Hall, and then the Dragon Hall was in an uproar.
Everyone didn't find any flaws in Mu Tian's words, but this made Mu Ye unable to get off the stage. His face was getting worse and worse, and he held the silver wine glass in his hand and pointed at Mu Tian, "You...... You ......"
After Makino said "you" a few times in a row, he suddenly realized that he couldn't say a word. Originally, his face was flushed because of the wine, but in a blink of an eye, he turned more and more purple. "Get out of here!" he said in a hoarse voice, but he still let out a high-pitched roar, holding a wine glass in his hand and pointing at the people who were still noisy in the Dragon Hall.
Mu Tian lowered his head slightly, his body did not move, but his heart fluctuated, and his tightened heart finally settled down a little. She only dared to say so much to Makino, and it was because of the words of the scholar of Muyuan University that she blurted out with a fever.
The ministers and nobles began to carefully evacuate the huge dragon hall.
Makino looked at his subordinates who were evacuating one by one, and looked at Mu Tian, who was still standing there in the center of the Dragon Hall, as if he had become a laughing stock standing in front of him, and the anger in his brain just now suddenly poured into his chest again. Grabbing the silver wine glass in his hand, he threw it towards Mu Tian fiercely, and at the same time scolded violently: "You don't get out of here!"
Mu Tian originally wanted to wait for the ministers and nobles to evacuate, and then tell her city lord the news that Qingyun City was going to attack Mu Zhidu. Unexpectedly, Makino suddenly became angry. In the face of the oncoming silver wine glass, she flashed backwards, and the glass hit her feet. Bright red liquid splashed on the hem of her green dress, stained red like blood.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard. Throwing a cup at a little girl who has not passed the rite of passage in front of everyone is not the demeanor of a city lord, even if this girl's ability is stronger than anyone present. Of course, this kind of thought will only remain in anyone's heart.
Mu Tian stood firm, she had no room, she just wanted to say the reason for staying here, suddenly Qinghong beside her suddenly began to tense her body, her face was instantly bloodless, Qinghong wanted to attack the city lord!
"Don't! Qinghong!" However, by the time her words flew out of her mouth, it was too late, and streams of dark green dragon breath headed straight for Makino. Seeing that Mu Ye was about to die under the poisonous dragon's breath, Mu Tian seemed to be able to think of his tragic situation in the next second.
Mu Xiang also witnessed it, and before he had time to think, out of his own duty, his hand quickly stretched out to his waist. She didn't know if she could stand it off for him, but she had to. But she forgot that this was a dinner party in the Dragon Hall, and it was forbidden to wear all weapons before coming.
Makino watched in horror at the oncoming waves of dragon breath, and the desire to survive made him immediately rush to the side. How to say that he used to be a well-known leader of the human race, over the years, even if his body has been excessively lewd, but in the face of life and death, the energy of the year seems to have returned to his body all of a sudden.
Makino knocked down the long table in front of him and fell to the ground. But a few streams of dragon breath still touched his sleeves, and the thick liquid corroded the silky fabric, making a sizzling sound. Knowing that this poisonous dragon's breath could not be touched, Makino hurriedly tore off his clothes that had been burned by the poison while shouting for someone. It was the terrible screams that made the attendants standing on both sides of the long table shake their minds and immediately block in front of him. At the same time, the guards of the Green Pothos Palace outside the Dragon Hall also rushed in, armed with spears, long swords, and giant crossbows designed to deal with dragons, and it seemed that they had already guarded outside the Dragon Hall in advance.
However, this did not make Qinghong flinch in the slightest, and it saw that the person who was attacking got up again, and his green eyes were a little blood-red, and he flapped his wings to prepare for the next attack.
"Qinghong!" Mu Tian's voice was like an iron whip cutting through the sky.
The green young dragon shook its head when it heard its master's call, and although its reddened eyes were still full of murderous aura, it was still ready to return to Mu Tian's side. However, at the moment it moved, with a whoosh, a black shadow crossed Mu Tian's side. Then, Mu Tian saw that Qinghong's green scales were pierced by a sharp weapon on the dragon's wings, and a crossbow arrow as thick as an iron spear was inserted into the ground of the dragon hall, obviously it penetrated Qinghong's dragon wings.
The young dragon's miserable cry sent shudders down the entire dragon hall, and Mu Tian turned sharply and glared angrily at the direction where the steel crossbow was fired.
A guard armed in green armor and armed with a giant crossbow appeared at the door of the Dragon Hall, drawing another crossbow bolt from behind his back. His entire face was obscured by a helmet, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes.
Seeing that the young dragon was injured, the guards who rushed in dared to move, and the hula surrounded Mu Tian and her dragon master, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at them.
The nerves of all the visitors in the Dragon Hall tensed, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her. Including Mu Xiang, whose body was trembling all the time, she really couldn't believe that things would have developed to such a point, shouldn't it have been a moment of celebration? Why did she add swords at this time? Her hand couldn't help but touch the silver wine glass on the table, now she only had this thing around her that could be used, but she really didn't want to do it......
The guards in the field didn't dare to move, because even if the young dragon in front of them could only use one dragon wing, it was enough to make them afraid.
Makino stood up in embarrassment, pushing away the attendants who were standing in front of him, anger flashing in his dark eyes. However, when he saw the injured young dragon and Mu Tian who was surrounded, for some reason, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He tore off the rotten fabric that was still hanging on his arm, and said to Mu Tian in a dark voice, "Is this what you call faith?" He looked at his bare arm.
Mu Tian just wanted to say something, although she also knew that these words were in vain, and the wood was already in the boat, but Mu Ye didn't even give her a chance to plead.
"An undisciplined young dragon would have dared to bring it back to the Pastoral Capital? If I hadn't reacted in time just now, I'm afraid I would have gone to see the ancestors of the Pastoral Capital at this time. Makino said in a strange way.
"Lord of the Castle...... It was the little girl who mishandled this sin, please forgive her. Mu Xiang's tone was pleading, she thought that if she didn't intercede at this time, there would be no chance.
Makino pretended to think, and then smiled kindly: "Of course, Mu Tian did this for the honor and future of the capital of Mu, and it was a sign of loyalty, of course I won't blame her, but-" Makino put away his smile, and the anger in his eyes was already burning.
"This dragon must die!"
