Five days later, Qin Zhao finally waited for Yan Qingming's summons.

They've found the valley where the fire is.

It is also strange to say that in the middle of a desert, there is a valley.

This is how it was marked on the map drawn by Yu Rui at the beginning.

When Yan Qingming first got this map, he couldn't believe it.

But after all, it was Emperor Xia's will, so he naturally couldn't slack off, and personally led his troops to set off in Xuanzhou, west of Wuzhou, to the desert in the northwest.

This desert is extremely famous, not because of its strange products or scenery.

Rather, this desert is extremely vast, and it is easy for ordinary people to get lost when they enter it, and it is the famous death desert in the mouth of the nearby races.

In addition, this place is barren and there is nothing, and over time it has become an existence that others avoid.

However, this is also convenient for Yan Qingming.

Although this place nominally belongs to the Moon Banner Country, they obviously will not leave their troops here to deploy troops and defenses, let alone have tribes living in such a place.

It was much easier for him to get in.

As for the desert, although it was empty, it was obviously nothing to Yan Qingming.

Even in the territory of the Moon Banner Country where he went for the first time, he could easily identify the direction and accurately find the location of the alien tribe.

This time, there is a map to guide you, so naturally it is not a problem.

After more than ten days of exploration, we finally arrived at the destination of this trip and found the location of the mysterious valley.

Even with Yan Qingming's knowledge, it is difficult to imagine such a scene.

Immediately sent someone to the capital to report.

For the strange valley in the desert, Qin Zhao himself was not surprised, this kind of thing was originally called a wonder of heaven and earth, and naturally it would not be produced in an ordinary environment.

It must take a lot of natural conditions to work together for that chance to appear.

How it is, wait until he goes to see it.

After all, no matter how close to reality is in the fantasy world, it is just a virtual scene deduced in the end.

He himself seems to be controlling the advancement of the game character, which is very different from the actual situation.

Now I can really find out.

Without delay, Qin Zhao came directly to the Shuning Palace.

The step of collecting the alien fire still needs to be completed by his sister.

......

As the eldest princess of Great Xia, Qin Xuan, these days are not easy.

Speaking of which, Qin Xuan's status is now noble, and in terms of identity alone, it is not too much to say that he is second only to Qin Zhao in the entire Great Xia.

During the reign of the first emperor Qin Chong, the only queen Lu was executed because she was involved in rebellion, and there has been no queen since then.

Later, the emperor died, and ordinary concubines naturally had no status.

Now, those concubines are kept in the inner palace, but Qin Zhao naturally won't have much contact with them.

As for Qin Zhao himself, he has no heirs.

As the most favored emperor's sister, Qin Xuan's status is of course boundless.

What's more, this eldest princess is not without real power.

Not to mention her adviser in the Ministry of Industry, just her influence around Qin Zhao has to be weighed by the ministers of the court and the central government.

In addition, the current Yulin Army is also adapted from the Hundred Flowers Army back then, and it can definitely be called Qin Xuan's political capital.

But in the past few days, this lady of the sky has been completely uncomfortable.

It's not that it's so bitter in the Shuning Palace.

As the largest palace in Xiayang Palace, this place was much more luxurious than Qin Zhao's residence.

It's just that coming back on your own is completely different from being locked up.

The few days of confinement reminded her of the scene in the palace when she was a child.

At that time, the emperor was busy with government affairs and had never paid much attention to the harem.

As for the heirs, except for Qin Zhao, the eldest son, they all have an indifferent attitude towards everyone else.

Not to mention that Qin Xuan's biological mother Lu participated in the rebellion later, which made the emperor extremely angry and alienated from everyone in the harem.

Since she was a child, she grew up in this kind of cold violence.

If it weren't for the care of his own brother Qin Zhao, who had a gentle temperament, his personality would probably become distorted.

In the past few days, Qin Xuan has nothing to do, and she is often thinking nonsense.

Whenever I think of Qin Zhao, I always have a strange feeling in my heart.

In her impression, Qin Zhao's image is divided into two stages.

The first stage was when he went to Wuzhou, that is, before he was a supervisor at the border of Shangyang County.

At that time, Qin Zhao was certainly gentle, polite, and knowledgeable, and both officials and ordinary people recognized him very much.

can be called a qualified prince and a qualified heir to the emperor.

But compared to the talented Emperor Taizu Qin Chong, after all, it is a lot worse.

Although Qin Xuan is closer to her brother and has always been in awe and alienation of her father, she has to admit it.

However, all these inherent impressions were subverted on the day Qin Zhao fled from Shangyang County to Anning County.

This is his image in the second stage of Qin Xuan's heart.

In the face of Li Fu's pursuit and persecution, when the whole world was the enemy, he persuaded Yan Qingjun and the Baihua Army to turn the tables in a desperate situation and play with ease.

After ascending to the throne, in just half a year, he obeyed the rule of the ministers and hundreds of officials.

Although Qin Xuan did not quite understand what a series of major changes such as the changes in the court, the establishment of the Six Ministries, and the abolition of the Three Princes meant.

But she knew what level of existence Chu Huaijin was - this was the person who had to be called Mr. by his father who ruled the world back then.

However, even this head of the hundred officials was not able to support Qin Zhao for too long.

Later, all kinds of wonderful exercises and buildings were taken out by him.

All kinds of new things continue to spread to the world......

These changes are dizzying, but less than a year has passed now.

Her occasional joking questioning, although it is not a temptation, can also reflect some psychology.

This brother always gives her a plausible feeling now.

The days of grounding were a little boring, but before Qin Zhao came, Qin Xuan didn't think about sneaking out.

The first reason, of course, was that she knew it was impossible.

The Yulin Army guards in the inner palace are all masters of the innate realm, and there are even many characters in the congenital consummation and even refining stage.

She, a mortal who had not cultivated, would definitely not be able to run out under this kind of surveillance.

And he also knew Qin Zhao's methods, and his strength would only be stronger than those guards. It's all in the palace, and it's certainly impossible to be negligent.

Not to mention the existence of the Tianque chess game.

This thing was originally created by Qin Xuan, and of course it is clear what powerful functions it has.

Otherwise, you might really have to try a thing or two.

Anyway, with Qin Zhao's favor for her, he wouldn't punish her, but anger is certain.

Maybe I was going to be grounded for ten days and a half months, but it was suddenly expanded to three or five months.

Of course, this time the grounding was difficult and difficult, but she never complained about Qin Zhao in her heart because of this, but was a little happy.

A big rock lay down in her heart.

Knowing that, Qin Zhao didn't think about using her sacrificial sword, even if he gave up forging the National Fortune Sword, a big killing weapon.

She is a sword forger, and of course she knows how powerful this sword will be when it is truly achieved.

also knows that I am afraid that only she will have the opportunity to complete the step of "sacrificing the sword" for Qin Zhao.

The other younger brothers, needless to say, have a close relationship with Qin Zhao or not, it is extremely difficult to do it completely voluntarily.

Even if they nodded yes at first, it was difficult for them not to have any resentment about this sacrifice.

But if there is even the slightest resentment, this defect will expand infinitely after the sacrifice of the sword.

In the end, it led to insufficient integration with the national fortunes, and the compatibility with Qin Zhao, the emperor, was greatly reduced.

Correspondingly, it is difficult to really exert the power of the national sword.

This is not something that can be achieved by hypnosis or other means.

The sword cannot be deceived, let alone the divine sword that embodies the power of national fortune.

When melting the sword with the body and condensing the sword soul with one's own soul, all false means will be washed away in an instant.

At this time, Qin Xuan was lying bored in the room and thinking nonsense.

At this time, a maid suddenly announced at the door: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is here." ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, she was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly sat up, "Arrange someone to take care of it, come and help me dress up!" ”

didn't let Qin Zhao wait too long, she trotted out of the hall, came to Qin Zhao, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Brother, you are here." ”

"Well, looking at you like this, it doesn't seem like a problem. It seems that the punishment is not enough, so let's continue to be grounded for another month. ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture to stand up.

What he said was not an exaggeration, although Qin Xuan was in a rather irritable mood these days.

But I've been eating and drinking well, and I don't have anything to worry about, which is much easier than when I was busy with the Ministry of Works outside.

Maybe in the past few days, I have gained a few pounds.

"Don't, brother!" Hearing his words, Qin Xuan suddenly became anxious.

Hurriedly ran to him and stared at him, his eyes were a little red, and he looked like he was about to cry, "You are so ruthless!" ”

Qin Zhao was a little embarrassed when he saw this, he didn't expect this sister to have such a big reaction.

hurriedly said: "I'm joking with you, let you remember it for a long time." ”

However, to say that she was really completely honest from now on, Qin Zhao would definitely not believe it.

Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she couldn't stand this kind of day.

It's one thing to stay at home voluntarily, it's another to be forcibly locked up.

"I'm here to find you today." Qin Zhao looked at her and said indifferently, "The place where the strange fire is located has been found, you can go with me to get it." Although the National Fortune Sword is no longer needed, you should be able to use it for other things in the future. ”

When she heard the word "different fire", Qin Xuan's eyes lit up.

This thing can be said to be something that every refiner dreams of.

It's like a scroll of mystical exercises placed in front of a practitioner, and no one can resist the temptation of this at all.

Immediately responded: "Mmmm, I know, when are we leaving?" ”

"Prepare and leave right away."

Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, and then said, "There is nothing to prepare." ”

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "Follow me." ”

Saying that, he left the Shuning Hall first, and Qin Xuan hurriedly followed.

Soon, the two of them came to the Condensing Spring Hall, his usual cultivation place.

This place is different from other palaces in Xiayang Palace, there are no superfluous buildings, and there are no guards to guard it at ordinary times, so it is empty.

"Why are you here?" Qin Xuan was slightly puzzled.

"There's no one here, so it's more convenient."

"Huh?" She looked at Qin Zhao with a stunned expression.

Qin Zhao didn't pay attention to her slightly strange gaze, and calmly stretched out his right hand, and a miniature chessboard light and shadow appeared on the palm of his hand.

A glimmer of light flashed, and they both disappeared in place at the same time.

Of course, this disappearance is only in a visual sense.

With the help of the power of the Tianque chess game, the light around the two of them was refracted, creating the illusion that there was no figure here.

Then, Qin Zhao stretched out his right hand and gently wrapped his arms around Qin Xuan's waist.

This action suddenly made her tremble.

Although the brother and sister usually have some intimate contact, the waist is still too sensitive after all.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhao frowned and tilted his head to look at her.

"No, it's fine." Qin Xuanqiao's face flushed, and she muttered in a low voice, not daring to let him see her expression.

Seeing this, Qin Zhao didn't ask any more questions, and began to mobilize his abundant and condensed divine soul power.

Immediately, the two of them rose into the sky like arrows from the string and galloped away in the direction of Wuzhou.

It was the quickest way he could think of to get there.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan couldn't care less about being shy, his hands were tightly wrapped around Qin Zhao's waist in reverse, and he looked in the direction of the ground with some panic.

It was the first time she had experienced this feeling, soaring through the sky like a bird.

Although there were some masters in the palace in the past, there were also some masters who could volley for a short time, and she was also a little envious.

But those people couldn't reach this level of staying in the air for a long time, and they couldn't carry others, Qin Xuan couldn't understand this feeling at all.

However, when she actually experienced it, she was a little afraid.

It is normal for humans who have been standing on the ground since childhood, and when they leave the ground, it is difficult to adapt to this feeling at the first time.

However, Qin Zhao's divine soul essence is extremely powerful now, and he has a layer of divine thought protection.

Under this protection, both of them moved forward extremely smoothly, and there was no uncomfortable feeling.

After a long time, Qin Xuan enjoyed it a little.

"Why isn't there any wind?" She asked aloud.

In the boundless sky, my mind can't help but open up.

Although there was no sound around, under the protection of the Divine Thought Barrier, there was no sound of wind coming in.

But she still subconsciously amplified her voice.

Qin Zhao chuckled when he heard this: "You don't have to be so loud, I'm not deaf yet." ”

"Hmph." Qin Xuanqiao's face flushed slightly.

"Naturally, the wind was blocked by me." Qin Zhao didn't care either, and continued to explain.

"Without the wind, there is no feeling of freedom!" Qin Xuan's tone seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

"Haha." Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Xuan'er, you're quite cute." You don't want to think about this speed of progress, if I don't block the wind for you. How long can you hold up with your bones? ”

Qin Xuan reacted at this time, and immediately stopped talking, but instead looked at the scenery below.

Viewed from above, the mountains are rolling and the rivers are endless, which is a completely different scenery than in the past......

I couldn't help but be a little stupid for a while.

After a long time, she turned her head to look at Qin Zhao's side face who was close at hand, and said softly, "Brother, will I have a chance to see these scenes in the future?"
