Chapter 17: Goodbye Ah Da
After solving the hidden dangers on Tian Axue's body, the most critical thing in front of him was the war between Tianwei and Nanming.
The king of Tianwei led his troops to guard the area of Liunan City, and he is still in the southern Ming Kingdom Zhou Xuan.
Tianwei Wangcheng is temporarily presided over by the prime minister, and the king of Tianwei is outside, and the prime minister is also justified in presiding over the government, but this person has ill intentions, first colluded with the Yucheng Long clan to intercept and kill Xu Zhaobiao and Tian Axue, and then colluded with the Southern Ming Kingdom to attack Tianwei.
presided over the government for nearly two years, but there was no action, it should be as Ah Da said, the prime minister waited for the death of the king of Tianwei, and supported Tian Axue to become a puppet lord, so as to cover the sky behind the scenes.
Just as Long Tian was thinking, the door behind him was pushed open, and Tian Axue changed his clothes and walked out.
"What just happened?"
What Tian Axue was referring to was naturally the movement caused by Long Tian's blasting hammer breaking the building.
"Haha, it's nothing, there was a shameless person who wanted to peek, and I drove him away."
Tian Axue pursed her lips, turned around and walked back to the room. Long Tian hurriedly followed, and then closed the door.
Tian Axue pulled Long Tian to sit down on the edge of the bed, snuggled into his arms and said weakly: "Husband, I'm so afraid. Three years ago, Uncle Xu and I were robbed and killed halfway, and the guards covered me to break through, but Uncle Xu never came back. ”
"Back to Wangcheng, I feel that everything is so strange, more than a year ago, Nanming and Tianwei went to war, my father had no choice but to personally guard in Liunan City, after my father left, the prime minister gradually controlled the entire palace, I can't even get out of the princess's mansion. I look forward to you coming to me every day, I don't know what the prime minister wants to do, I don't know when he will attack me, I am afraid that once I fall asleep every day, I will never have a chance to wake up. ”
Feeling the person trembling slightly in his arms, listening to her words, word by word, momentary helplessness and fear that often accompanies him, Long Tian only felt more and more pain in his heart, more and more pain, so painful that he couldn't breathe, and couldn't help but hold her arm harder and harder, as if he had to integrate her into his body to feel at ease.
"Xue'er, I'm sorry, I'm late, you've been wronged."
Long Tian was very remorseful, if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't practice any secret methods, she wouldn't care about the identity of the human race, even if the Five Elements Realm was really destroyed under the Era Tribulation, she would be by her side and wouldn't let her suffer a little grievance.
Tian Axue raised her head and smiled: "Okay now, you're here, I'm not afraid of you anymore." ”
Long Tian caressed her cheek and said softly, "I will always accompany you and protect you." ”
Tian Axue sat up straight and asked solemnly, "Husband, how much do you know about the affairs of Tianwei Kingdom?" ”
"The prime minister rebelled, three years ago, he sent people to intercept and kill you and Commander Xu in the territory of Beichen Kingdom, intending to provoke a war between Tianwei and Beichen, and then colluded with Nanming Kingdom, resulting in no one in Wei State today, and your father had to personally guard Liunancheng." Long Tian told everything he knew.
"Where did you know that?" Obviously, what Long Tian said is consistent with the facts.
"On the way here, I learned from a person named Ah Da, do you remember Ah Da?"
"Ah Da is one of the three masters who intercepted and killed us at that time, but he is reckless, how can he analyze the situation in the Tianwei Kingdom so clearly and clearly?"
"You mean, there's something wrong with this Ah Da?"
"That's right, it's just hard to say where the problem is."
"Would you like to meet this person?"
"No, now I can't mobilize a single soldier in Tianwei Wangcheng, and I don't even have contact with the soldiers outside the city." Tian Axue shook her head.
"Then I think it should be better to meet him, if he really understands the royal strife very well, maybe it will help us."
"But I can't leave the palace now, and rumors that he will surprise the snake when he meets him."
At this moment, the space fluctuated, and the broken building was moved back.
As soon as the broken building entered the room, he turned into a human form and said, "Master, madam, Rat Invincible is already waiting on the east side of the garden." ”
"Okay, I got it."
Long Tian looked at Tian Axue and said, "Xue'er, let's go out for a walk." ”
"Hmm." Tian Axue agreed, got up and walked out of the room, and the broken building turned back into an ancient tower and was put away by Long Tian.
The two walked from the stairs to the first floor, and in the morning several maids were busy on the first floor.
The two walked by, and a maid behind them whispered to the person next to them: "There was such a big movement upstairs just now, it can't be Her Royal Highness the princess stealing men, right?" ”
"Shhhh The maid next to him hurriedly stopped.
Tian Axue, who had already walked to the door of the attic, stopped her figure and turned around and said, "Xiaoqing, come here." ”
It was the maid who was whispering just now, who hurriedly ran over and knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Her Royal Highness the princess spared her life, and the slave maid lost her words for a while, and begged Her Royal Highness the princess for mercy."
"Behind the back, the princess is criticized, someone is coming, and the mouth is slapped."
Several maids next to them were afraid of being angered by Tian Axue, so they came to slap the maid named Xiaoqing a few times, thinking that the princess was just angry for a while, and they were working together, and they beat a few times, and it was just a matter of giving the princess out of anger.
"Keep fighting, hit harder." Tian Axue saw the maid stop and urged.
When several maids heard this, they had to continue to slap their mouths, and the strength of their hands also increased a lot.
It wasn't until the maid named Xiaoqing's cheeks had been bruised, her lips were broken, and blood flowed out that Tian Axue stopped.
The two walked out of the attic, but the guards guarding outside blocked the way.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, now that the kingdom is in turmoil, the prime minister is worried about your safety, so you should not go out."
"Presumptuous, you are derelict in your duties, do you want to be imprisoned like those guards a few days ago?" Tian Axue shouted sharply.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the little ones have not neglected their duties." The guard quibbled.
"Dare to quibble, you didn't neglect your duties, how did he get in." Tian Axue pointed to Long Tiandao beside him.
"You let a strange man enter the princess's dormitory and tarnish the princess's innocence, don't you want your family's heads?"
"The princess spares her life, and the little ones swear that they will never tell the prime minister about the affairs here."
Several guards knelt down one after another, conniving at strangers to defile the princess,
But for the big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, they didn't think that the prime minister would be able to tear off the disguise for many years for a few guards, and they begged for mercy and swore an oath.
"Come on, expel Xiaoqing from Tianwei King City." Tian Axue pointed to Xiao Qingdao, who was beaten and swollen in the attic.
The guards had already heard the sound in the attic, so they looked inside.
The two clever guards got up and entered the attic and dragged Xiaoqing, who was slumped on the ground, down.
Tian Axue and Long Tian continued to walk towards the garden.
The two guards brought Xiao Qing to the prime minister, made Xiao Qing kneel on the ground, and then said to the prime minister: "Prime Minister, the princess got angry in the morning, beat this maid, and expelled her from the royal city." ”
Now the entire royal city is controlled by the prime minister, and it is impossible to avoid the prime minister and drive people out of the city, so the two of them have to bring Xiaoqing to see the prime minister and wait for the fate.
The prime minister is an old man in his sixties, with a kind face and kind eyes, no one could have imagined that it was this kind old man who personally provoked the war between the two countries.
At this time, the prime minister was holding a wooden stick in his hand, walking around the maid beside him, turned around, and saw Xiaoqing's face that was beaten beyond recognition, and then withdrew the stick in his hand.
"Tsk, it's really ruthless, there's nothing unusual about the princess's mansion, right?"
"Back to my lord, there is no abnormality over there in the princess's mansion."
"Then follow her and expel her from the royal city." Prime Minister said.
"No." The two guards retreated, and then picked up Xiaoqing and walked away quickly.
……
There is a pavilion on the east side of the garden, and when Tian Axue and Long Tian arrive, Rat Invincible is already waiting inside.
The pavilion is not big, there is only a square table and a few stools, Tian Axue and Long Tian sit in front of the table, Long Tian took out three jade bottles, and put them on the table carelessly, three needles flew out, and there was a drop of blood suspended under the tip of the needle.
"Gollum." Rat Invincible stood next to him and swallowed.
"Invincible, tell me how you saved Xue'er at that time?" Long Tian asked, his palm stroking the jade bottle that originally contained the wooden needles.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, on the day I was young, I had to run away in the snow outside the enchantment, and I accidentally bumped into a monster, the monster was covered with long white hair, walked on all fours, and had a long tail, and the princess was hooked by the monster's tail at that time."
"The monster's body is like steel, extremely hard, I was hit by all kinds of meat, after the monster landed, the princess also fell nearby, the monster attacked me, I am not an opponent, I had to take the princess all the way to escape to the enchantment, so I was able to escape."
"Since that monster is like steel, why didn't it kill you?"
Rat Invincible scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this ...... I should have crashed into the crown princess. ”
"So, Cher is so badly injured, or is it your fault?" Long Tian raised an eyebrow.
Rat Invincible knelt down directly, and urged sadly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the small one is not intentional, obviously there is nothing in front of it, who knew that the monster would come from the side, whoosh~ It will pass through at once, it is speeding, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Long Tian grasped the palm of his hand, and the jade bottle shattered, and the wooden needles and blood beads shattered with it.
The invincible voice of the rat stopped abruptly, his hands went up and down, and he checked himself several times, and found that it was okay, so he was relieved.
Then he grabbed the second jade bottle in his hand.
"Let me ask you again, why don't you eat the corpse of the human race yourself, but choose to sell it in Demon Dragon City?"
Rat Invincible said: "The patriarch once said that the monk should be fearless and fearless in his cultivation, although the Rat Clan's bloodline is weak and his talent is low, although he can improve his cultivation by eating people, but it is only a temporary improvement, relying on foreign objects, he will never be able to become a real strongman." ”
When the rat invincible said this, he seemed to be a real hero who stood up to the sky, and the momentum around him suddenly rose, without the submissiveness of the past, and without the flamboyant tongue of habit, some just yearn for the determination to become a strong man.
Long Tian was very satisfied, and crushed the second jade bottle, and the golden needle and blood beads shattered, and picked up the third jade bottle casually.
"Why didn't you eat the Demon Dragon Emperor Blood Stone you got from me?" Long Tian continued to ask.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I can still divide a full meal, I handed over the bloodstone to the patriarch for distribution, so that with my contribution to the clan, no one will dare to bully me in the future."
"As far as I know, the Rats Patriarch has reached the limit, but a few years ago at the Orc Clan meeting, I saw that he looked very good, you should have given it to the Patriarch in your personal name, right?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, my mother left the Rat Clan since I was a child, I don't know who my father is, it has always been the patriarch who has taken care of us, my brothers and sisters are weaker than me, and they all died one after another, if it weren't for the patriarch, I wouldn't be alive now."
Long Tian became more and more satisfied with the Rat Invincible, at first if the Rat Invincible hid the matter of Tian Axue, Long Tian would not hesitate to pierce the blood beads with a wooden needle and crush his soul, but what the Rat Invincible said was completely consistent with what happened in the dream, so Long Tian smashed the jade bottle and gave him his freedom.
And he also has the heart of a strong man, and he knows how to repay his kindness and filial piety, so Long Tian moved the idea of accepting apprentices.
"Rat Invincible, you have been practicing for six hundred and seven years, practicing the Chaos Realm Earth Totem, although you have not officially entered the ranks of monks today, but your qualifications are acceptable, and your heart is good, are you willing to worship my disciples and practice with me?" Long Tian was invincible to the rat and said solemnly.
Rat Invincible was already kneeling on the ground, and he didn't even save kneeling, and kowtowed directly: "Willing, willing, disciple to meet Master." ”
Long Tian is the prince of the dragon clan, a natural nobleman, coupled with the fact that he can monitor himself anytime and anywhere, and the means of transmitting his soul dozens of miles apart have long made the rat invincible envious, and now Long Tian is willing to accept himself as an apprentice, so naturally he doesn't say a word, and directly apprentices.
Of course, these are all means of breaking the building, and the rat is invincible and naturally does not know it.
Apprenticeship is generally to worship the master first, then to worship the tea, and then to worship the ancestor, there is no tea here, the tea is exempt, as for the ancestor, Long Tianxia consciously thought of it, has been hanging on the waist of the yellow dragon jade pendant, Long Tian untied the jade pendant in his hand, looking at the mouse invincible.
"Invincible, this is the token of the Yellow Dragon Patriarch, so let's worship the Patriarch with this." Long Tian said nonsense.
Rat Invincible kowtowed three more times to the jade pendant, even if the apprenticeship was over.
"Get up, invincible, since your earth escape technique can bring people, later you use the earth escape technique to bring a beggar on the arched bridge in the city over, be careful not to let people find out." Long Tian let the Rat Invincible get up, and then commanded.
Rat Invincible listened, isn't this the unlucky guy who was trained by him?
"Master, I've seen this person, and I also tested the three-needle soul detection technique on him, but I don't know if it's successful, and I ask Master for some advice." As he spoke, Rat Invincible took out three jade bottles and handed them to Long Tian.
Long Tian took the jade bottle and opened one casually, and a "wooden needle" with the thickness of chopsticks flew out, and a drop of blood was suspended below.
Long Tian looked at this "wooden needle" with such rough workmanship, and suddenly felt a little confused, and even realized how the person being cast was in a state of sleep.
Long Tian saw that there was no scene in the blood beads, and asked the rat invincible: "There is no soul under the wooden needle, invincible, how can you judge?" ”
"The wooden needle can't detect the soul, which means that this person is the first generation of soul, and there is no previous life, so the wooden needle can't be explored."
"Hmm." Long Tian nodded.
Long Tian opened a jade bottle again, the golden needle flew out, and there was still no scene of the blood beads below, Long Tian continued to ask: "There is no future under the golden needle, how can you judge?" ”
"The golden needle can't detect this person's future, which means that this person has no luck and no future."
Long Tian shook his head and said: "This person intercepted the princess and did not die, was seriously injured and survived, he should have suffered the piercing pain of Xuan Bing day and night, but there was a warm and cold junction to prevent him from being tortured, this person is not without luck, but exhausted luck." ”
"Master Xie has given me advice, and my disciple has been taught." Rat Invincible bowed down and thanked him, if it weren't for Long Tian's guidance, there was no record in the jade slip that he would judge luck based on personal experience.
Long Tian picked up the last jade bottle, and the silver needle flew out, looking at the blood beads under the silver needles, there was no scene, and he couldn't help but wonder, even mortals have a destiny diagram, but the scroll could not be expanded, proving that there was no cultivation qualification, but there was no image in the blood beads.
Tian Axue saw Long Tian's question and said, "Husband, what does this mean?" ”
She had never seen the three-needle soul probing technique, but according to what Long Tian said just now, she had already guessed about it.
"This silver needle can probe a person's cultivation talent, even a mortal can see a life map scroll, this kind of life map scroll does not even have a life map scroll, it can only mean that this person is not suitable for cultivation compared to mortals."
Tian Axue remembered the scene when she fought with Ah Da three years ago and said: "This is impossible, when I fought with this person three years ago, I was still a green life map, the sixth order of the Star Spirit Realm. ”
"It's supposed to be an illusion made by some secret method." Long Tian speculated.
"Then why is he hiding?"
"It seems that this person really has to be seen, invincible, go and bring people quickly."
"Yes, Master, Master, disciple retires." Rat Invincible said hello and fled.
